"It's not interesting, I just don't agree!" Xu Zhi looked at Simon Keswick, took a document from Wang Liming's hand, and said: "This is the official certificate issued by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Evergrande Group currently holds 26.3% of Hongkong Land's shares, and is one of the largest shareholders of Hongkong Land. ”

“26.3%！”

As soon as Simon Keswick heard this number, his heart twitched, and his eyes stared at Xu Zhi like an eagle.

And the shareholders and reporters in the audience even exploded, with a 26.3% stake, which has shown that Xu Zhi, the richest Chinese in Xiangjiang, has sharpened his knife and pointed to Jardine Group.

In this era of decline and rise of British capital, many Chinese-funded companies are very greedy for Hongkong Group, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, even if Hongkong Land has encountered the biggest crisis in a century, its market value is still as high as 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, even Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang and others can not do anything.

The only thing that has been speculated by the media is the Xu consortium, but Xu Zhi has just acquired Disney in the United States, and although Hutchison has made a lot of money, he is also ready to invest in several large-scale projects, and theoretically, he should not be able to attack the Jardine Matheson system again.

But what I didn't expect was that in a quiet way, Evergrande Group acquired 26.4% of the shares, such a large equity ratio, it can basically be said that half of the acquisition has been completed, if it were not for the strange structure of Yizhi mutual control, maybe Xu Zhi would have acquired more shares.

For some shareholders, they prefer that Xu Zhi can continue to increase his stakes, so that once a general takeover offer is triggered, these people can walk out of the way.

Ignoring the chaotic scene below, Niu Bijian took the document in Xu Zhi's hand, flipped through it twice, and said: "The document is true, Xu Sheng does own 26.3% of Hongkong Land's shares and is the largest shareholder of Hongkong Land. ”

The word "maximum", Niu Bijian deliberately used a heavy tone, and after hearing this, Simon Keswick next to him immediately frowned.

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Since my equity has been confirmed, then with Mr. Keswick's equity, the financing proposal should be considered a rejection, right?"

"Xu Sheng, don't worry. Niu Bijian smiled and said, "Simon, it's still early, you can think slowly before deciding." ”

Simon Keswick was also silent for a moment after hearing this, and vetoing this proposal with Xu Zhi would give a wrong signal to all the shareholders present, they would think that Xu Zhi had dominated the land, but if he promised Niu Bijian, not to mention whether Xu Zhi had any follow-up moves, if the British Foundation really came in, then his family would become the third largest shareholder of the Jardine family.

After a moment of fighting between the two villains in his head, Simon Keswick still had a hard time making up his mind.

Someone in Niubijian ignored Simon Keswick next to him, and said to Xu Zhi: "Xu Sheng, Hongkong Land's problems are so serious now, if you don't accept financing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive until next year, I don't know if Xu Sheng, as the major shareholder of Hongkong Land, can we let the Bank of East Asia lend another low-interest loan to Hongkong Land, so that Hongkong Land can tide over this difficulty?"

"Sometimes it's idiotic to be overconfident in yourself. Xu Zhi looked at Niu Bijian and said: "Obviously, you can simply sit back and enjoy it, but you have to toss it yourself, I'm curious, how sure are you?"

"This kind of thing is either a success or a failure, but no matter what, if it is just a matter of sitting back and enjoying the success, it is better to work hard. Niu Bijian said lightly.

Xu Zhi smiled and shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to give you a chance, you can be the same as Ma Shimin, but since you don't appreciate it, then forget it." ”

Ximen Keswick listened to the conversation between the two, and obviously understood the meaning, Niu Bijian obviously knew Xu Zhi's intentions for a long time, and the two had also negotiated, but now it seems that the two sides have not reached a consensus.

So he stepped forward and said, "Xu Sheng, can you talk alone?"

Xu Zhi looked at Simon Keswick and said, "If you want to sell me the Jardine stock in your hand, then you can talk about it, and forget the rest!"

Simon Keswick's face turned pale, and he said: "Xu Sheng, Jardine is the ancestral business of our Keswick family, if anyone really wants to get involved, I will never give up!"

"What's the matter? just take you Jardine to get involved in the Zhou family's milk company, and others can't get involved with your Jardine?" Xu Zhi said lightly: "What's more, now that I am the biggest shareholder of Jardine, whose Jardine is not necessarily it?"

After speaking, ignoring Simon Keswick, Xu Zhi said to Niu Bijian: "With the current situation of Jardine and Land, of course financing is needed, but the so-called British fund may have money, but it cannot provide enough help for the operation of Jardine Land, so even if you want financing, you have to find a company that has the ability to help Jardine and Land get out of the predicament, rather than choosing a random one." ”

"So, is Xu Sheng able to provide enough help to Jardine Matheson and Land?" of course Niu Bijian understood that Xu Zhi was talking about himself.

"Of course. After Xu Zhi finished speaking, regardless of the eyes of others, he walked directly to the seat on the rostrum and sat down, and smiled into the microphone: "This position is not bad!"

Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone should know me, so I'll be blunt, Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land are currently in a debt crisis and desperately need external funds, and I happen to have too much money in my hands.

Therefore, I hope that Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson can increase Evergrande's shareholding to 34.9% through a private placement plan, so that Jardine Land can obtain some funds for Jardine Land to get out of the current predicament of the company. ”

"Xu Sheng, you already hold nearly 30% of Hongkong Land's shares, even if the financing reaches 34.9%, even if you add the financing of Jardine Matheson Group, it will bring at most 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to our company, which is probably far from enough to solve the company's debt problem, right?" said Niu Bijian with a smile.

"That's right. Xu Zhi also nodded in agreement: "That's more than 34.9%." ”

"Exceeding?" Niu Bijian was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

That's what it means. Xu Zhi waved his hand and said: "According to the law of Xiangjiang, once the shareholding ratio exceeds 34.9%, a general takeover offer needs to be launched, that is, I will privatize the entire land!"

The voice spread throughout the audience with the microphone, and everyone was stunned, although they knew that Xu Zhi would forcibly acquire Hongkong Land, but everyone thought it was an equity battle, and no one could have imagined that Hongkong Land might be privatized!

Niu Bijian also looked at Xu Zhi incredulously and asked: "Xu Sheng, with the current scale of Land, privatization will require at least more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, ...... you?"
