"Rong's Investment has purchased 17.3% of the shares of Jardine Matheson and 14.2% of the shares of Hongkong Land Group, and Rong's Investment will officially purchase the shares of Jardine Matheson at a price of 45 Hong Kong dollars per share tomorrow, with a budget of 17 million shares, so that Rong's investment will increase its shareholding in Jardine Matheson to 30%, and at a price of 30 Hong Kong dollars per share, it will purchase shares of Hongkong Land Group, and the budget will increase by 120 million shares, so that Rong's investment will increase its shareholding in Jardine Matheson to 30%. ”

Rong Le's notice officially exploded the entire Xiangjiang, and the previous battle for Wharf has obviously become the head of this war, no one would have thought that Rong Le would suddenly make a move on Jardine and Land!

Jardine Matheson is known as the strongest British-funded foreign bank in Hong Kong, but the market value has not been high, only about 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, according to today's opening price of about 30 Hong Kong dollars per share of Jardine Matheson, Rongle acquired 17.3% of the shares of Jardine Matheson, with about 700 million Hong Kong dollars, and as the behind-the-scenes boss of Jardine Matheson, Keswick holds only about 10% of the shares, which means that now Rongle has become the largest private shareholder of Jardine Matheson!

And Rongle is also ready to increase its stake in Jardine to 30%, and officially announced that the share price of Jardine will be raised to 45 yuan per share, so that Rongle will use more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars!

Hongkong Land's investment has always been conservative, so today's opening price of Hongkong Land per share is only 22.2 Hong Kong dollars, and the actual market value is much higher than the current market value, but even so, the market value of Hongkong Land Group has been as high as about 18 billion Hong Kong dollars, so if you calculate it, Rongle acquired 14.2% of Hongkong Land's shares, it should have taken about 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, if you add 15.8% At this time, the price of Hongkong Land's per share was also mentioned by Rongle at 30 yuan per share, so it would take more than 3.6 billion Hong Kong dollars!

If Rongle can complete the acquisition of both transactions, then Rongle will use the price of more than HK$7.5 billion!

As soon as this data came out, Mo said that it was all Xiangjiang, that is, the whole of Asia, was shocked by this news.

Everyone's first thought is Rongle, where did Rongle get so much cash, could it be that Rongle got the secret help of HSBC?

However, HSBC immediately announced that Rongle's investment did not have any loans from HSBC, and other banks also expressed their positions!

If this is really the case, it will be even more terrifying, Rong Le was able to come up with 7.5 billion Hong Kong dollars without relying on bank loans. Is his cash flow terrifying?

With Li Chaoren swallowing Hutchison like a snake, the clarion call for the acquisition of a British-owned consortium by Chinese businessmen was sounded, followed by a thunderous blow from the charter king to Wharf!

But now these two acquisitions are simply different from Rongle's current handwriting. Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land are not comparable to Hutchison and Wharf.

Although Jardine Matheson is not as brilliant as before, it is still the most influential British-owned consortium in Hong Kong, and Hongkong Land is even more remarkable, now known as the world's largest third real estate developer.

Shen Bi had already returned from England at this time, and when he saw the news, he was also very shocked, without the support of HSBC in Xiangjiang, he dared to make a move against a British-funded consortium, and Rong Le was the first person!

Thinking of this, Shen Bi's mood was a little complicated, originally he admired Rong Le very much, a young man with no background, relying on his talent and talent to become one of the richest people in Hong Kong, HSBC naturally hoped to reach a cooperative relationship with him.

For this reason, HSBC sold the shares of wireless in its hands to Rongle, and Rongle also understood very well that part of the capital business of the dynasty system was handed over to HSBC to take care of, it can be said that the initial trial of the two sides was very good, and Rongle also maintained a respectful attitude towards HSBC.

Especially this year, when Shen Bi watched Rong Le ascend to the position of the richest man in Xiangjiang, he made a special phone call to congratulate him and hope to deepen the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

Rongle has no objection to this.

It's just that now Rongle suddenly made a move on Jardine and Land, which had nothing to do with HSBC, but HSBC, as the god of wealth in Xiangjiang's business, if the acquisition really made Rongle really successful, then the dynasty system under Rongle's name will definitely be reorganized, and at that time, the dynasty system will replace Jardine Matheson, and Hongkong Land will become the largest private consortium in Xiangjiang.

At that time, would the relationship between the imperial system and HSBC still be so harmonious? And Rong Le had asked himself about the bank, consciously or unconsciously.

According to Rongle's current expansion rate, he will definitely not let go of the financial banking industry, will he still cooperate with HSBC obediently when the time comes?

Shen Bi not only does not oppose the support of Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang, but encourages HSBC to support Chinese businessmen, but whether it is to support Chinese businessmen or support British-funded consortiums, what HSBC wants to do is to be above all the consortia in Xiangjiang, and what HSBC wants to do is to be the arbiter of the business community in Xiangjiang.

But now the speed of Rongle's development makes him a little worried, of course, according to the current business volume of Rongle, it is impossible to have any impact on HSBC, but according to the current speed of Rongle's development, what about ten or twenty years from now? Shen Bi dare not imagine that at that time, there will be a consortium in Xiangjiang that can be comparable to HSBC!

But of course, Shen Bi will not do anything to Rongle's dynasty because of this speculation, this is not the mind that a successful entrepreneur should have, but in the future, he will definitely change the previous cooperation strategy with Rongle's dynasty.

We must cooperate as well as be on guard!

The sound of the phone dragged Shen Bi back in contemplation, and after Shen Bi picked up the phone, he heard the voice of Niu Bijian of Jardine Taipan: "Mr. Shen Bi, we hope to get the support of HSBC this time!"

Niu Bijian has no nonsense, now the stock price of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land on the stock market is rising, and everyone is preparing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, holding the shares of Jardine Land, waiting for the price to sell.

But at this time, there is not much cash in the hands of Jardine and Land, damn Wharf, trapping their cash, damn Rongle, disrupting all their plans, and even turning into a tiger, ready to bite Jardine and Land, this matter will become a stain on his career.

"No problem, I'll wait for you in the office!" Shen Bi also did not refuse Niu Bijian's request, although the two had not dealt with each other before, but now business interests have tied them together again.

"Okay, Mr. Simon Keswick is about to go to Xiangjiang, we will go to you first, and then we will go to Rongle, since he said that he will officially buy the shares of Jardine Matheson and Land tomorrow, it seems that he also wants to talk about it! Let's listen to his conditions!" Although Niu Bijian's voice was still very proud, Shen Bi still heard frustration in it!

Changshi, Lee Superman's office!

Li Chaoren looked at the report in the news and didn't say anything for a long time, Sheng Songsheng exclaimed: "When did this Rongle set up such a big game?"

Li Chaoren smiled bitterly: "It's really just a matter of not making a move, it's amazing to make a move!"

Sheng Songsheng asked: "Chairman, what do you think about Rongle, he wants to buy Jardine and Land single-handedly, Jardine Matheson has dominated Xiangjiang for so many years, the background of the Keswick family is unfathomable, and Rongle's battle is definitely not as easy to fight as it seems on the surface!"
