Chapter 136: Who Will Take the Blame (10)
“…… South Africa's 1024 International Investment Group will acquire all the shares of Jardine Matheson Strategic Holdings Limited (Bermuda). ”
Although Ji Mingjie's sanity was as early as Maria Carey spat out the sentence: "Mr. Kaisark has made an extremely difficult decision....... After that, he began to remind himself that the acquisition of Jardine Matheson had been thundered and changed.
But Ji Mingjie's emotions did not come out of Mariah Kelly's mouth clearly: "...... Acquired all the shares of Jardine Matheson Strategic Holdings Limited. Only then did he begin to try to accept that his plan to acquire Jardine Matheson had been completely beaten up, and in the end he only ended up being busy in vain.
Who is the main force of the acquisition? Who is responsible for building momentum? Thinking of Tang Wan's promise to unite sincerely and take the overall situation into account, Ji Mingjie gritted his teeth fiercely.
I was tricked! I was tricked by Simon Caesarke!! I was tricked by Tang Wan!!
Almost immediately, Ji Mingjie threw the root of the sudden change in the matter on Tang Wan's head.
Of course, it is not difficult to guess the cause and effect of the matter, in the current time period, the whole planet is interested in acquiring Jardine, except for Tang Wan is Ji Mingjie himself.
The green tendons on Ji Mingjie's head stretched high, beating suddenly near his temples, and a wave of depression turned from his chest straight to the top beam, and then gloomily emanated in his lungs below his chest.
But what the hell is this South African 1024 International Investment Company?
With Simon Caesar's greedy and cunning personality, what price did Tang Wan pay to obtain all the shares of Jardine Matheson from this miser?
Although the angry waves of emotions slapped Ji Mingjie's soul extremely violently, the remaining reason still directed Ji Mingjie's thinking to find the most confusing part of Tang Wan's acquisition of Jardine.
Ji Mingjie, who is well aware of the internal situation of the high-level political operation of the Republic, can't figure out where Tang Wan got the astronomical amount of funds and quietly completed the acquisition of an astonishing scale enterprise like Jardine Matheson.
"The parties agreed that after 1 December 1989. Jardine Strategic Holdings Limited (Bermuda) has maintained its plan to transfer its primary listing to London, UK, and its plan to terminate its secondary listing in Hong Kong within three years has been temporarily frozen ....... ”
Mariah Carey's voice flowed steadily through the chamber at a near-constant frequency.
As Mariah Carey recounted all the text of her speech, the room was at first a momentary silence with a slightly suffocating atmosphere, and then suddenly it became noisy, with countless arms raised in the air and swaying desperately in the air, trying to get the first chance to ask a question.
Mariah Carey casually clicked on a young female reporter near the left-hand side of the front row.
"I'm a Hong Kong Economic Journal reporter. Ms Kelly, can you tell us more about the nature of South Africa's 1024 International Investment Group, which has acquired all the shares of Jardine Matheson?"
As soon as the Hong Kong "Hong Kong Economic Daily" reporter's question came out, the conference hall suddenly fell silent, although the reporters of the major media held back countless questions in their hearts, but what kind of person this long-awaited Jardine Matheson pick-up man is, is definitely one of the news that the Hong Kong media are most concerned about.
Ji Mingjie reluctantly suppressed the ** who slammed the door and left, waiting for Mariah Carey to release more details of the acquisition.
"I think it would be more appropriate for this question to be answered by the chairman of South Africa's 1024 International Investment Group. ”
Mariah Carey followed the prompt for a reporter's question on the last page of her speech and kicked the ball to Niu Bijian on the podium.
Niu Bijian happily turned on the microphone placed in front of him, and tried the test with a flick of his fingers. "South Africa 1024 International Investment Group is a large multinational investment group founded in Johannesburg, South Africa, with aviation, finance, real estate and electronics as the group's main investment directions. ”
The Group is engaged in a wide range of commercial businesses in Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, the Soviet Union and other regions, and many world-renowned large enterprises are partners of the Group for many years, such as MBB of the Federal Republic of Germany, Siemens, Deutsche Bank, Rolls-Royce of the United Kingdom, British Aerospace, GE of the United States, and Motorola of the United States. And most importantly...... Jardine ......, Hong Kong. ”
When it comes to the last partner, Jardine Matheson, Niu Bijian smiled happily, and the proud appearance of the spring breeze was overflowing.
Newbijian unceremoniously borrowed part of Yuanjia's business scope and partners. It was directly buckled on the head of this South African leather bag company that Liang Yuan patted his head.
The so-called South African 1024 International Investment Company, in fact, is Liang Yuan used to acquire the short-term tool shell company registered by Jardine Matheson, after the completion of the merger and acquisition of Jardine Matheson, the entire Jardine Matheson will be spun off under the various subsidiaries of Yuanjia, and then this shell company that someone used to miss the last plane of something absolutely neutral will be completely cancelled and disappear.
After Niu Bijian finished introducing the general background of South Africa's 1024 International Investment Group, another arm was raised. Trying to get the right to ask a second question first.
The second question was asked by a reporter from Hong Kong's "Ming Pao", who followed the previous reporter's question to dig deeper into the economic strength of South Africa 1024 International Investment Group, and asked why Nurbijian South Africa 102 International Investment did not appear on the list of the top 500 international enterprises in the previous year.
"The financial system of the group's subsidiaries is self-financing and independent accounting, and it is a long-established consortium in the southern African region. Pooling all of the group's revenues together just to hit the rankings of a company that has no practical use is completely unnecessary. ”
"However, the group's financial resources and strength of the media friends here have no need to worry at all, due to the group's good operating conditions, after the group has the intention to acquire Hong Kong Land, the group's business partner Deutsche Bank took the initiative to open a long-term credit line of up to 7 billion Hong Kong dollars for the group, I think there is no more proof of the group's economic strength than this example. ”
Niu Bijian did not answer the question of the "Ming Pao" reporter directly, but temporarily dragged Deutsche Bank out to block the gun.
When Hong Kong's news media heard what Niu Bijian said, they immediately felt that they had seen the light of day, and since there were shadows of the world's eight major banks behind Jardine Matheson's escape this time, this matter was really not unusual.
The reporters in the conference hall are all old fritters who run the financial line, and naturally understand that a bank can lend 7 billion Hong Kong dollars to an enterprise, and the relationship between the two is not only intimate, but also the strength of this enterprise is beyond doubt, especially since this bank is still a deutsche bank that is famous all over the world at this time.
With the endorsement of the powerful Deutsche Bank at the back of the platform, the acquisition of Jardine Matheson suddenly became normal, and the questions of the financial reporters gradually became professional, from restructuring and integration to future prospects, and even the old grievances between Niu Bijian and Simon Kaisark, which were well known to the Hong Kong media, were turned up by reporters to talk about the matter.
Ji Mingjie listened for half an hour, and finally slowly pieced together the truth of the matter.
Of course, whether it is Ji Mingjie or Hong Kong media reporters, these people think that the truth they have obtained has been completely taken into the ditch by Niu Bijian's highly skilled words.
For example, the loan agreement signed between Deutsche Bank and Yuanjia for Hongkong Land did not take the initiative, and Liang Haiping, who was in charge at the beginning, had a very difficult negotiation, and finally had to sign a VAM agreement with Deutsche Bank with a very high risk probability.
With Deutsche Bank standing behind Tang Wan to support him, although Ji Mingjie admitted that all the questions in his heart had been answered more reasonably in the acquisition of Jardine Matheson, all the questions still converged into a big question mark in the end, that is, how did the trust between Tang Wan and Deutsche Bank come about.
Sitting on the chair and thinking for a while, Ji Mingjie didn't find a clue at all, and finally got up and left the Jardine Conference Room with his breath.
Not long after Ji Mingjie stepped out of the door of the conference room, another reporter with his arms raised was pointed out by Niu Bijian and got the opportunity to ask questions.
"I'm a reporter for Island Daily, and there is news that South Africa's 1024 Group has a Chinese-funded background, and there is also news that Mr. Kaisark has also been under a lot of pressure during the transaction. What does Chairman Nurbijian say about these two pieces of news?
"The group has a very wide range of business in the Asia-Pacific region, China as the most potential market in the Asia-Pacific region in the future, the group also has a number of independently registered subsidiaries in China, if the strict subdivision is considered that the group has a Chinese background, there is nothing wrong with it. ”
As for the second question, it would be more appropriate for President Kaisax to answer. Niu Bijian replied lightly.
Simon Kaisak turned on the microphone and said with a smile on his face: "As a businessman, there is no pressure to do business, for example, I was under a lot ......of negotiation pressure during the recent negotiation of the same name SKK enterprise Ji Ji in Hong Kong. ”
Liang Yuan stood in the corner on the far right of the press gallery, listening to Simon Kaisark talk about the negotiation pressure caused by Ji Mingjie's business talent on the rostrum.
As far as the morality of the Hong Kong media is concerned, no wind can stir up a three-foot wave on the ground, and this time Simon Kaisark took the initiative to provide a large amount of ammunition, and Liang Yuan dared to bet with his life that today's Hong Kong evening newspaper would definitely have a terrifying headline such as the TZ Party's advance into Hong Kong.
Of course, in someone's innermost plan, if no one finds out about this news hotspot, there will naturally be a hint from the great god of United Photons.
Ji Mingjie, who had already walked into the elevator, never imagined that a brand-new black pot had slowly floated towards his back.
Tang Wan has been in Hong Kong for a long time, and she has a deeper understanding of the virtues of Hong Kong newspapers, watching the reporters with her eyebrows fluttering and quickly making shorthand notes on the interview notes, and said with some tears and laughter: "This is what you want, Xiaoyuan, you and Aunt Ning tell the truth, did you reveal this to Simon Kaisark through Niu Bijian?"
Liang Yuan shook his head like a wave drum, and said aggrievedly: "I'll just be a minor who keeps to myself, how can a big guy like Ximen who has become a fine man have the heart to listen to my nonsense and arrange ......." ”
Looking at Liang Yuan's smile and his mouth full of running trains, Tang Wan also knew that she couldn't ask anything valuable, so she could only sigh. (To be continued.) )
