Alexandra Building, No. 6 Xuechang Street, Hong Kong.

The building is not outstanding in this area, and the overall height is only above average.

However, almost all the people with status in Xiangjiang know this building, especially the heads of the financial branches of Britain and the United States and other countries in Xiangjiang.

It's just because there is a big Buddha living in this building - Rothschild & Sons Xiangjiang Co., Ltd.

Although in terms of capital, Rothesmine & Sons can only be regarded as above average in the financial circles of Xiangjiang, but it can't cover its deep background, and the name Rothschild is a golden sign in the eyes of people who know the goods.

Xia Yu also knew about this company, but he never took the initiative to contact it, and even wished that they would ignore him.

This is not that Xia Yu is afraid of them, but he knows that before his strength is not strong and he has no power to protect himself, there are great drawbacks to contacting them.

After all, through those memories, Xia Yu understood their hypocrisy, greed, and cruelty.

But Xia Yu didn't want to take the initiative to contact them, but he couldn't stop the Rothschild father and son company from wanting to contact him.

At this time, Charles Rothschild, who is in his fifties, and his son Sean Rothschild, who is thirty years old, are sitting facing each other.

"Father, this is a 3.1% stake from the Kadoorie family. ”

Sean Rothschild handed the bag to his father.

Charles Rothschild glanced at it and put it down again.

The Rothschild family's intelligence ability is not bad, and they noticed the contact between George Berkeley and Bolton Keswick in London, and then knew Xia Yu's idea of attacking the Land Group.

The Rothschild family, who originally planned to find a suitable opportunity to contact Xia Yu, immediately asked Charles Rothchild to start from this aspect.

On the premise of not clashing with Xia Yu, Charles Rothschild thought of buying what Xia Yu wanted and waited for Xia Yu to come to the door.

After some screening, the Rothschild father and son took a fancy to the 3.1% stake in Hongkong Land held by Kadoorie Family Investments.

The Kadoorie family is originally Jewish, and the Rothchild family can be said to be the top existence of the Jewish race, which can be called Jewish royalty.

Therefore, in the face of Sean Rothschild who came to the door, Roland Kadoorie easily transferred the equity he held in Hongkong Land Group.

However, Hongkong Land Group is huge after all, even if it is 3.1% of the equity, according to the market value of nearly 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

Although the company was able to get it, it didn't feel necessary, after all, it was going to change hands soon, so they approached HSBC and leveraged ten times the financial leverage to buy the equity in the hands of the Kadoorie family.

"Father, how do we go next?"

Sean Rothschild lowered his head slightly and asked Charles Rothschild for advice.

Charles Rothschild's eyes flashed with thought, and he said lightly: "After getting the equity, we will take the initiative, and then you go to the exchange to update the equity information, and then we will wait for his people to come to the door." ”

As long as the 3.1% equity ratio held by Rothschild and Sons is disclosed, it will definitely attract the attention of hunters who are grabbing the equity of Hongkong Land Group, and as long as Xia Yu wants Hongkong Land Group, he will definitely come to the door.

Waiting for the rabbit is nothing more than that.

Sean Rothschild thought for a while and nodded: "Also, the equity in the hands of Dick Keswick and Phil Keswick will not be sold easily, and it is very difficult for Xia Yu to take it As for the equity of the other two people in the Keswick family, maybe they will all be taken down by him, but there are many people eyeing the Land Group, and it is difficult for him to acquire two-thirds of the equity and force privatization." ”

"Father, the stock price of Hongkong Land is still rising, should we continue to acquire some?"

Charles Rothschild said casually: "Do what you think, grasp the price scale, and the more shares in Hongkong Land, the better." ”

"I know. ”

......

In the afternoon, in the chairman's office of Jiuding Building, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong jointly visited, and Xia Yu personally made tea to entertain the two.

As soon as he took a sip of tea, Bao Yugang couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked, "Ah Yu, is the Bright Fund your company?"

Huo Yingdong also quietly put down the teacup and looked at Xia Yu.

Although the exchange exposed the Bright Fund yesterday, the Keswick family did not ask for a board meeting, and Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were not easy to ask Xia Yu on the phone, so they came together today to ask for clarification.

If the Bright Fund is Xia Yu's, it would be the best, if not, they will sum it up face to face, how to deal with it.

After all, the three of them had discussed moving the Hongkong Land Group before.

The two of them also had secret movements, and it wasn't revealed until yesterday.

Originally, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong's companies held 3.2% and 3% of Hongkong Land Group's shares respectively, but after discussing the team's move, the two secretly acquired the shares without being discovered, and now their shareholding ratio has risen to 5.9% and 5.7% respectively.

They are now fully able to apply to Hongkong Land's board of directors to give them an additional board seat.

Previously, neither of them held more than 5% of the shares, and according to Heungjiang's regulations on listed companies, neither of them could recommend a director.

However, in response to this situation, Heung Kong also has a cumulative voting system, also known as the joint voting system, which is to protect the rights and interests of minority shareholders, as long as the voting rights of minority shareholders together exceed 5%, they can also jointly recommend a director.

Prior to this, in order to achieve their own goals and protect their own interests, the equity voting rights of Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were used together, and a director was jointly recommended to represent the interests of both of them.

Not only that, excluding the Keswick family, except for the Swire Group, which holds 5.4% of the shares, has a single board seat, the other Chinese bigwigs are all jointly recommended directors.

Cheng Yutong holds a 3.7% stake in New World Development, Lee Chiu-kee's Henderson Development holds a 3.4% stake, and Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong holds a 3.1% stake, with the three jointly owning two board seats.

Stanley Ho's Shun Tak Group holds 2.3% of the shares, and the Ho family, one of the four old families in Hong Kong, is the main family of Stanley Ho with 3.7% of the shares, and the two companies jointly hold a board seat.

The Hu family's Hopewell Holdings holds 3.6 percent of the shares, and Kwok Tak Sheng's Sun Hung Kai holds 3.2 percent of the shares, and the two companies jointly hold a board seat.

That is to say, when Hongkong Land was hunted last year, more than 29.2% of the shares were in the hands of Chinese bigwigs, although they were very scattered, but after they were united, Chinese capital still had five seats on the board of directors of Hongkong Land Group, and had a lot of voice and influence.

And now the equity ratio of the two of them has risen again, and the total equity of Hongkong Land Group held by Chinese investors has reached 34.6%.

If the exposed Guangming Fund is Xia Yu's, then the shareholding ratio of the Chinese-funded camp will reach 45.1%.

On the contrary, the Keswick family, which lost 10.5% of its shares, will drop its stake to 41.8%.

What does this mean, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are very clear, so they solemnly ran over to ask in person.

When others were still investigating the background of the Guangming Fund, the first thought of Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong was that this company belonged to Xia Yu.

Looking at the flickering eyes of the two, Xia Yu smiled lightly, nodded and said, "Yes, this company is mine." ”

"And!"

As soon as these two words came out, the two of them were in high spirits, looking at Xia Yu with burning eyes, and a possibility came to mind.

I only heard Xia Yu continue: "The shareholding ratio of the Bright Fund is not 10.5% as exposed, and I also won the shares in the hands of Claude Keswick and Rodney Keswick. ”

Bao Yugang was stunned, and he quickly calculated the equity distribution of Hongkong Land Group, and said in surprise: "So you already hold 31.7% of the equity of Hongkong Group?"

Huo Yingdong was also shocked when he heard this number, and he asked, "Ayu, is this true?"

I saw Xia Yu nodding with a smile, then shook his head and said: "It's not 31.7%, but 33.8%, before I asked my subordinates to buy a total of 2.1% of the equity from the secondary market." ”
