Chapter 848: Tempting Jardine (4100 Words Big Chapter!~)
Although Qiu Tepat wants Wheelock, he doesn't want to be the wrongdoer, while John Madden wants to rely on Wheelock to knock on another stroke at the end.
So even if one wanted to sell and the other wanted to buy, they still had to fight for a few days, just when the two reached a consensus, and Qiu Tepat was ready to agree to the acquisition of Wheelock.
The charter king suddenly announced that it already held a 34% stake in Wheelock, and announced that it would use cash to acquire shares in the joint venture at a price of 11 yuan per share.
The joint venture is an associate of Wheelock, its net book value of assets is 17 yuan per share, some of which are ships, and now it is in the recession of shipping, and buying the ship's shares will only lose money, which the charter ship king naturally knows, but the charter ship king really values the 6.8% equity of Wheelock held by the joint enterprise!
At the same time, the charter king naturally did not forget to buy Wheelock's shares in the form of cash on the stock market!
"How is this possible, where did he get so much cash!" John Madden was in his office, furious, he never imagined that the charter king would move so quickly.
Qiu Teiget was also in John Madden's office, at this time his expression was also extremely solemn, originally thought that the acquisition of Wheelock had been a sure victory, but suddenly halfway to bite the gold, now even if he acquired 24% of the shares of Wheelock in the hands of John Madden, he is still 10% less than the charter king.
Moreover, the charter king still took out real money, rather than a share exchange, which was the same as the method he used to buy Wharf in the first place.
"Qiu Sheng, let's hurry up and sign the contract, with the help of our Madden family, you will definitely be able to beat the charter king!" John Madden couldn't sit still at this time, if he couldn't sell the equity of Wheelock in time, his loss would not be calculated.
"John, let's wait, I've already made a move now, and if he really has enough cash in his hands, we will have to rejudge the acquisition of Wheelock's equity. Qiu Deba's heart was solemn at this time, and he was a little unsure of the news.
"Hmph, how could he have so much cash, it's just a bluff!" John Madden said, with some eagerness in his eyes.
"It's better to inquire clearly!" Qiu Deba shook his head.
After a while, the people brought by Qiu Deba walked in, walked to Qiu Deba's front and whispered a few words to Qiu Deba, after Qiu Deba listened, his face changed a few times, and then he shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "John, it seems that our cooperation is about to be terminated, I have received the news that the charter king has been supported by Rongle, and has borrowed 300 million Hong Kong dollars from Rongle, with the support of Rongle, there is no need to doubt the cash flow in the hands of the charter king!"
Even if Qiu Deba is far away in Singapore, he also knows Rongle's reputation, with the support of Rongle, the charter king does not have to worry about cash flow problems, and now he is at a disadvantage, if he chooses to fight hard with the charter king, even if he wins, it is a residual victory!
"Rongle!" John Madden gritted his teeth and spat out two words!
But even so, what can he do? Now that the charter king has stepped forward with lightning speed, and then has Rongle's cash support, John Madden can't think of what else he can do!
So in the end, how Qiu Deba left, he had forgotten it, and sat in his office chair in despair, how much he hoped at this time, there is a place to sell regret medicine in this world, why did he lose his mind and want to deal with Rongle in the first place?
.........
"Ah Le, thank you this time!" said to Rong Le with a smile.
At this time, Rong Le, the charter king, and Wu Guangzhen were sitting in the private room in the Lu Yu teahouse, and the acquisition of Wheelock could be so smooth, which was not expected by the charter king, if it wasn't for Rong Le to take the lead in notifying himself, the charter king would not be able to seize the opportunity.
The senior management of the charter ship king company once calculated that if it were not for Rong Le to take the lead in notifying, after Qiu Tepat acquired the equity of Wheelock, if the charter king entered the market again, it would cost at least 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash to be able to win Wheelock, but now it may not even be 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.
There is no reason why the charter king does not thank Rong Le, not to mention, Rong Le also lent 300 million Hong Kong dollars to the charter king, this 300 million Hong Kong dollars is not just as simple as money, but more of a deterrent brought by Rong Le.
Now the charter king has received the news that Khoo Tepat has returned to Singapore gloomily. Didn't take over John Madden's 24% stake in Wheelock at all!
Qiu Deba's departure made the charter king have no opponent at all to acquire Wheelock, as for John Madden, it is good to be able to protect himself now, and it is impossible to be the opponent of the charter king.
Rong Le smiled: "Bao Bo is really polite, I also charged interest on the 300 million Hong Kong dollars I borrowed." ”
It is already a sure thing for the charter king to become the owner of Wheelock, and this time John Madden's loss finally made Rong Le breathe a bad breath, if he wants to deal with himself, he must pay the price, Rong Le's is not so atmospheric!
Three days!
From the end of the shot, just three days, the charter king has obtained more than 50% of the equity of Wheelock, in the Xiangjiang shareholders are still waiting to see the excitement, the charter king has completed the acquisition of Wheelock, such a speed is staggering, this is Wheelock, even if Wheelock has not been operating well in recent years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Wheelock is also one of the four major ocean banks in Xiangjiang!
In the whole process of acquisition, John Madden almost did not have the slightest resistance, and the charter king had already won Wheelock, which surprised the melon-eating masses in Xiangjiang.
At the beginning, the four major foreign companies in Xiangjiang, Jardine Matheson, Hutchison, Swire and Wheelock, now Hutchison is acquired by Cheung Kong, and Wheelock is acquired by Wharf, that is, the charter king, and the four major foreign banks have two owners, replaced by Chinese, and Chinese businessmen are really going to rise!
Subsequently, major newspapers published a photo of the charter boat king standing at the door of the Wheelock Building on Pytha Street!
The charter boat king swallowed mountains and rivers angrily, and after Wharf, he went to the next city and officially entered the owner of Wheelock!
That's the headline of the Hong Kong newspaper these days!
After becoming the owner of Wheelock, the charter king formally put forward a proposal to wholly acquire Wheelock in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong, and according to the terms of Hong Kong, the share price per share that charter king needs to pay for the wholly-owned acquisition of Wheelock is not the price at which charter king acquired the individual shares of Wheelock on the stock market, but the stock price of Wheelock before the charter king did not make a move.
John Madden really suffered a big loss this time!
Heavy losses!
What the people who eat melons saw was that the chartered boat king swallowed mountains and rivers and generally took Wheeloku, but there were also some people who saw the role played by Rongle in this matter.
This includes Simon Keswick of Jardine Matheson!
At the beginning, the combination of Simon Keswick, John Madden, Wei Li, and Zhang Yuliang is a combination of the four of them, and now Wei Li, Zhang Yuliang, and John Madden have fallen into the sand one after another, if Simon Keswick can no longer see that this is Rong Le's revenge, then he is a straw bag.
"Chairman, Rong Le of Dynasty Media is here!" Just when Simon Keswick's heart palpitated, his secretary suddenly walked in to report.
"What is he doing here?" Simon Keswick felt his little heart skip a beat, then suppressed his worries, regained his composure, and said, "Please come in!"
Rong Le walked into Simon Keswick's office with a smile, this was the first time he came to the office of Jardine Taipan, originally his original office in the Dynasty Building, which was intended to be used as the headquarters of Jardine Matheson, but it had been acquired by Rong Le, so until now Jardine has not changed places.
"Please be seated!" Simon Keswick, even though he had a thousand thoughts in his heart, showed his momentum as a Jardine Matheson Taipan at this time.
"This is my first time in Jardine!" Rong Le said with a smile as he sat down.
"If Rongsheng wants to come, we will definitely welcome it!" said Simon Keswick.
"Is that so, you're welcome!" Rong Le said with a meaningful smile.
"When...... Rongsheng, what do you mean?" asked Simon Keswick suddenly, some bad thoughts rising in his heart.
"As one of the oldest companies in Xiangjiang, we are very appreciative of Jardine Investment, I heard that Jardine is in some difficulties now, and we hope to provide some help to Jardine Matheson!" Rong Le said with a smile.
"Do you want to buy us Jardine?" Simon Keswick looked at Rongle, although there have been rumors in the market that the Chinese business consortium is interested in Jardine, but I didn't expect that there was Rongle among them!
"Yes, our Rong Investments are very interested in Xiangjiang quality companies, if Mr. Keswick can cut his love, I believe we will offer a very good price!" Rong Le said with a smile.
"It's impossible, don't be delusional!" Simon Keswick said categorically, although Jardine is in debt now, Jardine is not comparable to Wheelock.
"If you don't try, how do you know!" Rong Le looked at Simon Keswick calmly, and continued: "Now it has been proved that the strategy of mutual control between Jardine and Hongkong Land is wrong, and I am also thinking about Jardine Matheson!"
"Rongsheng, I know that there is an old saying in Huaxia, that when a friend comes, there is good wine, and when an enemy comes, there is a shotgun! Jardine is not Wheelock, will Rongsheng think things too simply?" Although Wheelock has already fallen into the sand, in Simon Keswick's opinion, Jardine is much stronger than Wheelock.
The forces of both sides are also heaven and earth.
"Well, since Mr. Keswick doesn't want to make a move, then we don't have anything to talk about, but I'm worried that Jardine's shotgun won't work well at that time!" Rong Le smiled faintly, not a little frustrated by Simon Keswick's refusal.
Jardine Matheson is naturally not Wheelock, Jardine Matheson as the face of the British-funded consortium in Xiangjiang, and it is not just a matter of considering commercial factors to acquire Jardine, otherwise because the market value of Jardine Matheson is only more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, how many Chinese business consortiums want to acquire Jardine in another time and space, and they all end in failure, which is basically impossible if there is no political factor.
After Rong Le walked out of Jardine, Wu Weihao asked in the car with some incomprehension: "Brother Le, why do you want to tell Simon Keswick that we want to buy Jardine?"
Before this, Rong Le had instructed him to secretly acquire the shares of Hongkong Land, but now he suddenly came to Jardine to discuss the acquisition of Jardine with Simon Keswick, could it be that Rong Le also changed his mind, like other people who wanted to buy Land, thinking that the acquisition of Jardine Matheson would achieve control of Land?
"Simon Keswick will not agree to sell Jardine Matheson, now Wei Li, Zhang Yuliang, John Madden have suffered one after another, Simon Keswick is already like a frightened bird, I came here to appreciate his scared look, and the other is to divert Simon Keswick's attention, although our acquisition of the land is very secretive, but it is hard to guarantee that he will not find out, now doing this, is to make him think that we are like everyone else, let him focus all his attention on Jardine, and ignore the situation of the land. Rong Le smiled.
From the beginning to the end, he did not intend to give up his previous strategy and directly acquire Hongkong Land, instead of Jardine, Xiangjiang will be under British rule for at least ten years, if the British are offended very much, it is difficult to ensure that they will not use the outside market.
In that case, Rongle's situation in Xiangjiang will be a bit passive.
Wu Weihao nodded, understood what Rong Le meant, and the means of attacking the west!
"How is Li Ping's health lately?" Rong Le asked with concern.
"It's good, it's just that I don't have anything to do every day!" Now Li Ping no longer goes to work, but she has become a habit of working, and she is obviously a little stunned.
"Haha, at the beginning, it was all like that, if she was bored, let her go to the house to walk around more, Sister Lian would sometimes be bored at home alone, the two of them were together, and they could talk!" Rong Le smiled.
"Well, I'll tell her when I get back!" Wu Weihao smiled.
"When it's okay, you can also accompany her more, the work can't be done, by the way, I heard that you are going to take Uncle Wu over to live for a while?" Rong Le asked.
"Yes, my parents and uncle have just met, so they followed me to Xiangjiang, plus now Li Ping is about to give birth in a few months, just let the uncle come to Xiangjiang to relax, when I got married, they were not there, and when I didn't want to have children, they were not there!"
"Well, it is also appropriate to call Uncle Wu, in order to find your parents, he has been very bitter in his life, by the way, when Uncle Wu arrived in Xiangjiang, he ordered someone to take Uncle Wu to the hospital for a good examination, in the first half of his life, Uncle Wu came out with bullets and bullets, and there must be a lot of old injuries on his body, take advantage of this time in Xiangjiang, let him have a good examination, check!"
"Thank you, Brother Le!"
"Okay, what are you and I talking about!" Rong Le waved his hand.
Simon Keswick stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of his office, looking at the scenery of the Xiangjiang River, and said in his heart that it was impossible not to worry, and if the current Rongle was really ready to break the kettle, it was really possible to acquire Jardine!
