Chapter 198: The Battle for Electric Lights and Telephones
As soon as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange opened, the stock prices of the three major groups of Jardine Matheson, namely Wharf, Heung Kong Electric and Heung Kong Telephone, began to rise. 35xs
When the news of Jiayi TV was broadcast, someone immediately promoted it on the exchange.
Some shareholders said, "Those who have the shares of the two groups of Xiangjiang Electric Light and Xiangjiang Telephone have made a lot of money, and Li Sheng's Tianyu Investment Company has released the news to acquire the shares of these two groups at a price higher than the market price, and the news has been broadcast on Jiayi TV just now." ”
A shareholder next to him said, "There is a good show to watch this time, and the stocks of these two groups will definitely rise." Now Li Sheng is directly facing Jardine Matheson, hoping that Li Sheng can snatch these groups from Jardine Group. These companies are still in charge of our Chinese people, so we are more at ease. ”
Jardine Matheson Group naturally received this news, and Niu Bijian didn't expect that even if Li Guangyu left Xiangjiang, the counterattack of the Li Group would still be so fierce and come so quickly.
Niu Bijian came to Wei Jiali De Shaun's side and asked him, "Wei Jiali, how is the acquisition of Hong Kong Electric and Heung Kong Telephone now?"
"Chairman, we in the Jardine Matheson Group now own the shares of Heung Kong Electric 314 and the Heung Kong Telephone Company 321. At present, the price per share of Heung Kong Electric Light has risen to 151 Hong Kong dollars per share due to the influence of Tianyu Investment Company, and the price of Heung Kong Telephone Company has risen to 234 per share. 35xs Even Wharf has risen to 494 per share. ”
If you want to keep all the groups from being acquired by others, you must control the controlling stake of the group, but in its current form, the funds of the Jardine Matheson Group are still insufficient. Heung Kong Electric still needs to buy 93 million shares to take control, while Heung Kong Telephone also needs to buy 52.5 million shares, and Wharf needs 18.5 million shares.
At present, Jardine Matheson's funds are still sufficient, but it has just begun, and the next competition with the Li Group The market value of the shares of several groups will definitely rise rapidly, and he does not know whether Li Guangyu is ready to attack the east and west, and openly snap up the Xiangjiang Electric Light and Xiangjiang Telephone Company, but secretly plot against Wharf.
Niu Bijian said: "Wei Jiali, you continue to arrange personnel to snap up the shares of the three group companies, since the Li Group has raised the price of one level to acquire, we will also raise the price of one Hong Kong dollar on his basis for the acquisition, and we must ensure our controlling stake in several groups." ”
"Chairman, this requires you to mobilize some funds, which we have at the moment are still a little insufficient. ”
"I will go and meet with Shen Bi, the chairman of HSBC, to seek support from them, and at the same time ask HSBC not to lend to the Li Group for the time being. ”
At this time, in the office of the charter king, his second son-in-law Wu Guangzheng was reporting the news of the Li Group and the Jardine Group to the charter king. 35xs
Wu Guangzheng said, "Father-in-law, this time the Li Group openly snapped up the shares of the two major group companies under Jardine Matheson, should we step in and snap up the Wharf." ”
The charter king said, "This time Li Guangyu is a little miscalculated, he originally thought that Jardine's attention was on us, he quietly acquired the shares of several groups in the back, and when we competed with Jardine, he would attack these two groups of Jardine Matheson, but he didn't expect Jardine to find out, and directly turned the gun and went towards them,"
Wu Guangzheng is also a little speechless for Li Guangyu always likes to hide behind and pick up cheap, whether it is the previous Wharf problem or Hutchison Whampoa, it is Li Ka-shing who is in the front, and he himself makes money in the back.
This time, he was obviously preparing to let his father-in-law face Jardine in front, and he followed behind to make a profit. Wu Guangzheng knew very well that Li Guangyu definitely had a lot of Wharf shares in his hands, but due to the operation of Tianyu Investment, it was too scattered, and Wu Guangzheng did not know the specific share.
Wu Guangzheng said with a smile, "Father-in-law, this is good, the pressure on our side has been reduced a lot." ”
Bao Yugang said, "Don't be happy too early, although the Jardine Group has now turned to the Li Group, but they have not let go of the acquisition of Wharf, now Jardine Matheson is rich, and at the same time the three groups are snapped up, once he succeeds, the prestige of the Jardine Consortium in Xiangjiang will rise again, and our Chinese family will not be too happy." ”
Although the charter king is willing to see Jardine shift his attention from himself to the Li Group, he still doesn't want Li Guangyu to fail, especially now that Li Guangyu is not in Xiangjiang, and the preparations are not as sufficient as the Jardine Group.
Bao Yugang instructed Wu Guangzheng: "You help me make an appointment with Ms. Li Xuemei, I will visit her at the headquarters of Xingyu Group at three o'clock in the afternoon." ”
Wu Guangzheng didn't expect Bao Yugang to give Li Xuemei face like this, and he went to visit in person.
Wu Guangzheng said, "Father-in-law, you also attach too much importance to Ms. Li Xuemei, why do you need to go in person." If there's anything, just tell me to go. ”
Bao Yugang said, "What, do you think I have a part in visiting Li Xuemei, you must know that Li Xuemei has always been the person who manages the affairs of the Li Group in Xiangjiang, and is known as the first person in the executive team of the Li Group." I am also the president of Xingyu Group, and the market value of this group alone is now tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, so why not let me visit. ”
Wu Guangzheng heard what the charter king said, so he didn't mention it anymore, and said to the charter king, "Father-in-law, I'll contact Xingyu Group to communicate about your visit in the afternoon." ”
At this time, Li Xuemei had already come to the securities department of Tianyu Investment Company in person, and today he will personally sit here in order to understand the situation at any time and deal with it immediately.
When Li Xuemei learned about the acquisition, a staff member reported: "Ms. Li, Ms. Luo, Guo Sheng, there is news from the exchange, and the Jardine Matheson Group has also raised the purchase price, and now they are offering the price of 16 Hong Kong dollars per share of Xiangjiang Electric Light, 24 yuan per share of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, and 50 Hong Kong dollars per share of Wharf for the acquisition of several companies' shares." ”
Li Xuemei didn't expect Jardine to be really ruthless this time, not only for the two groups of Xiangjiang Electric Light and Xiangjiang Telephone acquired by the Li Group, but also for the Wharf Group.
Li Xuemei instructed: "Fengtao, immediately notify our personnel on the exchange, add one Hong Kong dollar on their basis, and we must always keep our purchase price higher than Jardine Matheson." ”
"Okay, Ms. Li, I'll arrange it right away. Guo Fengtao said.
At this time, Wang Qian, general manager of the administrative department of Xingyu Group, came here.
Li Xuemei asked, "Wang Qian, is there anything wrong with you coming over?"
Wang Qian replied, "Ms. Li, just now Mr. Wu Guangzheng called and said that Mr. Bao Yugang wants to visit you at Xingyu Group at three o'clock in the afternoon, how can we reply to them?"
Li Xuemei knew that the charter boat king must have come to visit her at this time because of the Jardine Matheson Group and the Wharf shares in the hands of Tianyu Investment Company.
Li Xuemei said, "Wang Qian, you go to reply to Mr. Wu Guangzheng, I will welcome Mr. Bao Yugang in the company in the afternoon." ”
"Okay, Ms. Li, I'll go and reply to Wu Sheng. After Wang Qian finished speaking, she left the securities department.
