Chapter 408: The Land Changes Hands (12,000 per day, ask for subscription~)
Huang Tingfang's attitude was very resolute, as if this price was an insult to him.
Wu Jianye showed a look of embarrassment, and at this time, Huang Tingfang seemed to be his old friend for many years.
"Since Huang Sheng is not satisfied with this price, then we can't buy and sell, and I don't want to cause a crack in the friendship between you and me because of this matter, so I have to give up!"
Huang Tingfang: "......"
Huang Tingfang thought indignantly that although the shares in his hands were only 2.73% of the shares, this also involved hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the transaction, and if he had this money, Huang Tingfang would be able to survive the stock market crash and even buy back some of his company's shares at a low price.
So Huang Tingfang definitely can't let this business go yellow.
"Wu Sheng, in fact, the price is still negotiable, and just like Wu Sheng said, since you and I are friends, there are some things, I will not hide from Wu Sheng, Far East Organization has suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash this time, and the shares of Land can just help Far East Organization listen to this crisis, Wu Sheng is not like letting your friends fall into trouble!"
Since Wu Jianye said that he was friends with Huang Tingfang, Huang Tingfang directly told Wu Jianye at the level of friends.
Wu Jianye also made a bitter face: "Oh, Huang Sheng doesn't know something, although our Yaoguang Group is not listed, but this stock market crash is also a heavy loss, if it is changed to usual, with the relationship between you and me, this price will definitely move, but now it is ......."
The two sides come and go, this side sells miserably, that side is even worse than this side, here is passionate youth, there is nostalgia for the old things, anyway, Wu Jianye is biting the price of 11 Hong Kong dollars, no matter what Huang Tingfang said, Wu Jianye did not add a penny, seeing that the stock exchange in Xiangjiang will announce the opening of the market in two days, if there is no good news from the Far East Agency, then for the Far East Agency, it will become a member of the stock market crash.
In the end, the two negotiated for nearly an afternoon, but Huang Tingfang still lost the battle, and finally decided to sell 2.73% of the equity in his hand to Wu Jianye.
The amount involved is as high as 769 million Hong Kong dollars!
Originally, Wu Jianye was about to propose to Huang Tingfang that he could be like Liu Luanxiong and not take the lead in disclosing the transaction between the two parties, but Huang Tingfang took the lead in making this request.
But then Wu Jianye figured out that Huang Tingfang must have taken advantage of the stock market crash because he had more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars, and when the stock price of Far East Organization fell, he would recover some of the shares of Far East Organization, so that more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars is likely to increase to one billion Hong Kong dollars!
In this way, it seems that in this deal, Huang Tingfang earned more.
Sure enough, they are all human spirits!
After separating from Huang Tingfang, Wu Jianye made an appointment with the charter boat king again.
Although the status of the charter ship king in Xiangjiang is noble, even the charter ship king cannot be spared when the stock market crash comes, but the loss is relatively small.
However, coupled with the health of the charter ship king and the disappointment with the management of Standard Chartered Bank, he finally decided to sell 15% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank to Wu Jianye.
"Bao Weng, happy cooperation!" Wu Jianye shook hands with the charter boat king and smiled.
"Seeing Wu Sheng, I really have to sigh that a hero is a teenager!" the charter king sighed.
"Bao Weng should be old and strong, and he won't be young anymore!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
After the two sides shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, Wu Jianye left the villa of the charter king.
"Father-in-law, the shares of Standard Chartered Bank were sold to Shanhai Investment like this?" Wu Guangzheng was still a little unwilling in his heart, if the Bao family could control the Standard Chartered Bank, then the Bao consortium would have an unfailing position in Xiangjiang.
The charter king groaned: "Ryan Henderson is not so easy to deal with, according to Wu Jianye's style, he is likely to want to control Standard Chartered Bank, and then control Standard Chartered Bank, but Ryan Henderson has been operating in Standard Chartered Bank for a long time, and it is simply impossible to splash water, if it is a forcible acquisition, the funds involved will be at least more than 15 billion Hong Kong dollars." ”
"Does Wu Jianye have this strength?" In the end, the charter king asked himself!
The reason why the stock market crash is called a stock market crash is because it is global, and for Hong Kong, the same is true, no matter what your position in the Hong Kong stock market was before the stock market crash, even the blue chips of Hong Kong will not escape the doom.
For the chairman of a listed company, the stock market crash has another advantage, that is, if you have a large amount of cash in your hands, you can rely on this cash to buy the shares of the company sold on the stock market at a low price, so that after the stock market crash passes, the stocks bought before will increase exponentially, of course, this also involves a degree of certainty.......
As one of the top forces in Hong Kong, Jardine Matheson once had an American magazine evaluate that the real control of Hong Kong is HSBC, the Hong Kong government, the Jockey Club, and Jardine Matheson, in no particular order!
This shows how powerful the heritage of Jardine is.
However, with the development of the times, Jardine's status gradually fell behind in the first echelon, first in the Wharf defeated the charter king, coupled with the ace company in the hands of the land, many times by the Chinese consortium to remember, and at the same time because after entering the eighties, Jardine's development strategy has a flaw, their crazy expansion, resulting in a shortage of cash, coupled with 82 years, the history of the Iron Lady fell, resulting in a sharp drop in the stock market of Xiangjiang.
By this year, the total debt of Jardine Matheson has reached 13 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the largest consortium in Hong Kong has been called the 'debt king' of Hong Kong at this time!
In other words, there is not much cash flow in the hands of Jardine Matheson at this time, and naturally there is no way to profit from the stock market crash!
It is also in this context that Wu Jianye found Simon Keswick again and officially opened the acquisition negotiations with Simon Keswick on the acquisition of Land!
Before that, all the economic media analyzed that the stock market was just a small range of self-regulation, coupled with the fact that the major Chinese consortia had been eyeing Hongkong Land, which led to Hongkong Land's stock price soaring all the way and blinded him.
Now that the stock market crash is coming, the Chinese-funded consortium will definitely die down, losing the good news that the Chinese-funded consortium has acquired the shares of Hongkong Land, and Hongkong Land's stock price is bound to fall in the stock market crash, which will be a major loss for Jardine Matheson.
When he saw Wu Jianye again at this time, Simon Keswick had mixed feelings in his heart, he really didn't expect that it would be Wu Jianye who could find himself at this time.
In fact, in Simon Keswick's heart, the best buyer of Hongkong Land should be a consortium composed of Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Rong Gongzi and others, after all, these four people represent the strength of the top Chinese-funded consortium in Xiangjiang!
It's just that when the stock market crash comes, they must also give priority to the affairs of their own consortium, and they must not care about acquiring Land.
Sunday, October 25th!
This negotiation is different from the previous negotiations between Wu Jianye, Liu Luanxiong, and Huang Tingfang, and the two sides can be said to be sincere.
Simon Keswick, Chairman of Jardine Matheson, Bao Weishi, Executive Director of Jardine Matheson, Smith Smith, Managing Director of Jardine Matheson, and more than a dozen senior executives of Jardine Matheson arrived at the conference room of Yu Investment at the invitation of Wu Jianye.
And Wu Jianye's side, in addition to Wu Jianye, Zhou Tao, Yan Wen, and a professional negotiation team of thirteen people, the total number of people on both sides is close to 30 people!
"Welcome to Mr. Keswick and all the senior executives of Jardine Matheson, and I hope that our negotiations can have a good conclusion this time!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Although Simon Keswick's heart was extremely anxious, he still maintained his demeanor and smiled: "Of course there is no problem, I have already said before that the door of Hongkong Land is open, as long as Wu Sheng's price can impress us Yihe, Hongkong Land is not for sale!"
After the two parties sat down, Wu Jianye said that Yaoguang Group wanted to buy the 25.3% share of Hongkong Land held by Jardine Matheson in an amicable manner!
The bid price is HK$11 per share, so that the issue of ownership of Hongkong Land can be resolved as soon as possible!
"Wu Sheng, this price is impossible, you should know that just a few days ago, a consortium jointly formed by Li Chaoren and others proposed to acquire it at a price of 17 Hong Kong dollars per share, and I remember that the price proposed by Wu Sheng at that time was 15 Hong Kong dollars, but now it is only proposed at a price of 11 Hong Kong dollars, I think this is Wu Sheng's ignorance of the value of the land!"
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Mr. Keswick, Hongkong Land's share price was only HK$11.69 per share before the market was suspended, but you and I both know that as long as the stock exchange announces the opening of the market, this price will definitely fall, and it may fall below the price of HK$10 at that time, and now the price of HK$11 per share proposed by our Yaoguang Group is already a premium acquisition!"
Bao Weishi shook his head and said: "Wu Sheng, this calculation is not right, although the stock market crash will have some impact on Hongkong Land's stock price, but Hongkong Land's asset value and rent have not fallen, which also means that the value of Hongkong Land has not changed, Wu Sheng should not reduce the price based on the temporary price change on the stock market!"
"The market reflects the price of Hongkong Land, and I don't think that's wrong. ”
Fierce negotiations ensued, with Jardine Matheson biting down on the basis of the actual value of the land, while Wu Jianye believed that the stock market's reaction should be the true net worth of a listed company.
In the end, Wu Jianye raised the price to HK$11.5, while the price of Jardine Matheson was HK$16.5!
The two sides are at an impasse, and neither can convince anyone.
Seeing that it was time for lunch, Wu Jianye proposed that everyone eat first and wait until the meal was over before continuing to negotiate, Simon Keswick naturally had no opinion on this, and they also needed to consider it carefully.
After lunch, Simon Keswick took the lead in proposing that the share price of Hongkong Land could be sold to Yaoguang Group at a price of 16 Hong Kong dollars per share, which was the final offer, and if Wu Jianye did not agree, the negotiations between the two sides could only be declared broken!
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said: "Originally, I wanted to reach a friendly acquisition with Jardine Matheson, since Mr. Ximen Keswick can't agree with the offer of Yaoguang Group, it is better to Mr. Ximen Keswick, look at this document and talk about it!"
After speaking, Wu Jianye handed Simon Keswick a document.
After Simon Keswick found the document, he immediately looked at it with Bao Weishi and others, but after Simon Keswick and others saw the contents of the document, they immediately showed shocked expressions.
According to the documents, Yaoguang Group has reached an agreement with Chinese Real Estate and Solid Securities to acquire 1.29% and 2.73% of the shares of Hongkong Land in their hands respectively, and at the same time, Yaoguang Group also has 2.66% of the shares of Hongkong Land, which means that Yaoguang Group has held 6.68% of the shares of Hongkong Land at this time.
As long as Yaoguang Group formally signs a transfer contract with Chinese Real Estate and Strong Securities, Yaoguang Group will become the third largest shareholder of Hongkong Land, second only to Jardine Matheson's 26% and Li Chaoren and others' 8%.
"Mr. Keswick, if your company cannot agree to our company's offer, then as long as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange announces the opening of the market tomorrow, Yaoguang Group will immediately announce the full acquisition of Hongkong Land's shares at HK$11 per share, and it will be acquired in cash.
Wu Jianye said in a deep voice.
Simon Keswick's face changed, if Wu Jianye really did this, considering the panic of Xiangjiang shareholders now, as soon as this offer came out, he would definitely rush to sell the shares of the land in his hand to cash out and make up for his losses in this stock market crash.
"Wu Sheng, if you do this, it will only make the losses of both you and me even more heavy, and then we will definitely not sit idly by, have you thought about it, what kind of high price will it be in the end?"
Wu Jianye shook his head and continued: "Mr. Keswick, I can tell you that our Yaoguang Group can be said to be determined to win the land, for this acquisition, our Yaoguang Group has prepared 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, and if necessary, the cash can continue to increase!"
After hearing the cash of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, Simon Keswick finally showed a depressed expression, he knew that the general trend had gone, at this time Xiangjiang could come up with a consortium of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, except for HSBC, he couldn't think of anyone else, some consortiums might have, but at this time it was impossible for them to come up with so much cash at the time of the stock market crash!
As for whether Wu Jianye would be lying, this kind of thing seems to be there in Simon Keswick, but he can't bet on it, because Wu Jianye is too confident at this time, not to mention that he bought the shares in the hands of Liu Luanxiong and Huang Tingfang in the past two days.......
"12 Hong Kong dollars per share, this is the last bottom line of Jardine Matheson, if Wu Sheng can't agree, we can only see each other in the stock market!" Simon Keswick said with a sinking face.
Wu Jianye smiled: "Mr. Keswick, happy cooperation!"
In the end, Simon Keswick signed his name on the contract, trembling slightly.
Since then, Hongkong Land, which has the brightest pearl in the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, has officially changed hands and has become the second listed company under Yaoguang Group!
In the evening of the same day, Jardine Matheson and Yaoguang Group jointly held a press conference.
Zhou Tao, as a representative of Yaoguang Group, announced at the press conference that Yaoguang Group officially acquired 26% of the shares of Jardine Land at a price of 8 billion Hong Kong dollars, officially becoming the largest shareholder of Hongkong Land!
For a time, the whole Xiangjiang was shocked!
