Chapter 1285: Preliminary Negotiations!
In his previous life, Yin Jun still had a lot of understanding of the basic situation in Xiangjiang.
The most famous Jardine Matheson & Co., as well as Hongkong Land, naturally can't avoid it.
In particular, Hongkong Land has built many high-end commercial buildings in the mainland one after another, and its reputation is very large.
When looking at the information of Hongkong Land, Yin Jun saw the Niu Bijian who had suppressed Li Chaoren, and thus roughly knew his life history.
This person is indeed a very good talent, and because he was born in Jinwei, he is proficient in Chinese and knows the situation in China very well.
Although he has the pride and disdain of the British people, he is still very good in the management of the company, otherwise Jardine Matheson would not have moved forward firmly for so long under his leadership.
After cleaning up his thoughts, Yin Jun began to think of the information in his memory about the current situation of Jardine Matheson.
In today's era, any consortium will have a certain amount of arrears.
Apple's cash flow of more than $300 billion is a very exceptional example, and it is an example of the Internet era, let's not talk about it for the time being.
In a group that is doing the real economy, it is certainly impossible to develop all with its own funds, which will miss many opportunities.
As a result, they usually solve their problems by taking out loans and borrowing money, and thus there is a debt debt, which is also commonly known as the debt ratio.
Generally speaking, if the debt ratio reaches more than 50%, the company is dangerous.
Jardine Matheson's debt ratio is only 20%, which is nothing.
The problem is that banks are now shrinking funds everywhere, and HSBC also needs to take care of those financial companies and banks that are about to fail, and it is impossible to take out so much money to give Jardine Matheson, which can only be mortgaged by real estate - if Yin Jun only has real estate as collateral, Shen Bi will not dare to lend him as much no matter how optimistic he is.
In fact, the biggest problem is not the external forces, but the internal appearance of Jardine Matheson.
In the past two years, Chinese-funded enterprises such as charter ship kings have risen in a big way, and Japanese and Korean consortia have also eyed Heung Kong's company.
In order to prevent the company from being acquired, Nubijian came up with what he thought was a great solution.
He implemented a shareholding restructuring.
The core of the shareholding restructuring is that Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land hold each other's shares.
Hongkong Land is a listed company, and Jardine Matheson has a dominant stake in Hongkong Land, but it cannot be said that Hongkong Land belongs to 100% of Jardine Matheson.
Under these circumstances, he decided to put an end to the crisis.
He asked Jardine Matheson Holdings and Jardine Securities to come forward, and together they controlled about 40 percent of Hongkong Land.
Jardine Securities and Hongkong Land then controlled about 40% of Jardine Holdings.
By exchanging equity and control in this way, these three companies are tightly twisted together, like a "chain ship", if you want to move one of the companies, you have to face the three companies, and the money and energy paid are exaggerated several times, which is very difficult.
The chain of iron cables is a very stable way of defense, which plays a good role in preventing foreign invasions, but it also has great shortcomings.
That is, the three of them all hold each other's shares, and this share is useless at all, so a large amount of funds are frozen with each other and cannot be used.
This is an important reason for the lack of funds in Jardine Matheson.
So much so that the dignified largest company in Xiangjiang has to rack its brains to find a way to even have more than a billion funds, and it has to fall to the point where it has to sell its industry in order to maintain it.
The British group of people are also dissatisfied with Niu Bijian for this reason.
Nima!
Our dignified Jardine Consortium is going to be so embarrassed and go to passive defense?
Well, now that you've made such a mess of a good group company, are you old and can't do it?
When such words came, Niu Bijian's heart was naturally more anxious.
Otherwise, he would not have had a fight with the Dadong Telegraph Office at all, and he would not be willing to be willing for Yin Jun to buy the Xiangjiang Telephone Company.
Niu Bijian knows that Yin Jun has a good vision, which company he values, and which company must have a good future for development.
So after getting the information that Yin Jun wanted to talk about, he immediately reported to the British side, saying that the Xiangjiang telephone company is so good, I want to press it and wait before selling.
The result is still a mixture.
The reply over there is, now that the company is so short of money, you let go of this wrongdoer, when will you get the funds you need?
Besides, although Yin Jun is powerful, is he a god? He makes a lot of money in any business and will not lose money? Is there such a person in this world?
Niu Bijian was speechless.
As a result, even he didn't expect that Yin Jun's appetite was so big, not only wanting the Xiangjiang Telephone Company, but also the larger Xiangjiang Electric Light Company.
Adding up to more than 4 billion big deals, Niu Bijian is really moved.
And this is Yin Jun himself proposed, come together to buy it, isn't that the best object to be slaughtered?
Just when Yin Jun was still reviewing his own information, Niu Bijian, who had been brewing for a long time, couldn't wait to speak, "How do you want to buy it? I can tell you, I will never sell Xiangjiang Electric Light! If you look at the Kadoorie family, you can know how great the development prospect of Xiangjiang Electric Light is! This is one of Hongkong Land's most valuable assets!"
"Huh. ”
Yin Jun smiled, ignored his boasting, and asked directly: "Mr. Taipan, do you have such an idea." But let me ask you, in addition to being interested in real estate in Hong Kong, are they willing to do the real economy honestly and in a down-to-earth manner? Do they have the patience?"
Niu Bijian was speechless.
He wanted to refute Yin Jun, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered the faces of the British holding families, and he sighed gloomily.
The British people are not in Xiangjiang, so they do not know the specific situation of Xiangjiang at all, and they do not have a feeling for Xiangjiang to take root and develop.
They just use the Xiangjiang part of Jardine Matheson as a tool for their investment abroad, as a cash cow and an ATM.
Therefore, doing such a simple and crude business as buying and selling land and real estate, and making money quickly, is the most suitable for their ideas.
In fact, Niu Bijian used to be like this, but as he worked in Xiangjiang for more and more time, the more he became full of affection for Xiangjiang and the more he wanted to develop Jardine Matheson better, so that it could take root in Xiangjiang and develop and grow together with Xiangjiang.
It's a pity that the controlling shareholders don't think so, and he is powerless alone.
"But in any case, the Heung Kong Electric Light is definitely much better than the Heung Kong Telephone. It is responsible for the electricity of the whole Hong Kong Island, and it has a much better future than CLP Power which is only responsible for the New Territories and Kowloon. "Don't look at the economic disaster now, but people have to live, right? Electricity is the demand of everyone and every company, and Heung Kong Electric has great potential for development!"
"Hehe, why don't you say that Xiangjiang Electric is a public company, and its price increase and profit level are all subject to the strictest regulations?" Yin Jun retorted, "I have Kowloon Bus in my hand, and I feel the pain in this more than you!"
Niu Bijian was stunned for a moment, he really forgot the Kowloon Bus in Yin Jun's hand.
The red line of 15% profitability level is really impossible to change.
Stuck in this item, no matter how good you are in Xiangjiang Electric Light, you can't sell it at a high price.
"What do you think about the price?"
"Let's pack the two together. Yin Jun said, "What do you think of 4.2 billion Hong Kong dollars?"
"No!" Niu Bijian shook his head flatly, "It's too low." ”
"I'm already very kind, okay?" Yin Jun said helplessly, "You go to Quan Xiangjiang and ask, besides me, who else can take out so much cash in one go?"
Niu Bijian couldn't help it, "Where did you get so much cash? Didn't you lend all your money to the Heung Kong Commercial Bank?"
He thought to himself that if HSBC gave Yin Jun a loan, then he would instead scold Shen Bi, it was too much of a thing.
Yin Jun is naturally very smart, "I used the Saint Seiya doll as collateral to borrow money from Sumitomo Bank, and it is estimated that there will be preliminary results in the next two days." ”
Nodding, Niu Bijian was thoughtful, but at the same time couldn't help but be jealous.
can make toys on a scale of seven or eight billion US dollars, and this Yin Jun is really a genius.
"When I was doing big business, I never liked to procrastinate, and I want to come to Mr. Taipan, you are also such a cheerful person. Yin Jun said, "You also know that at this time period, it is not easy to find money. The last time I made a bid, 4.4 billion! You only lost 200 million, and if you can't accept this result, then I can only give up. ”
Niu Bijian's mouth moved, and he wanted to raise the price again, but seeing Yin Jun's eyes, he still hesitated.
He was really afraid that if the price was not suitable, Yin Jun would give up.
Although he felt that Yin Jun was not such a person who liked to give up, who would dare to guarantee it?
In case Yin Jun really doesn't buy it, then he should go and cry.
After a while, he said with some difficulty: "I have one more condition. ”
"Please say!" Yin Jun said seriously.
"After you have acquired these two companies, you have to make a message to the public, that is, you have full confidence in our Jardine Matheson and think that our current difficulties are only temporary. "Niu Bijian said.
"Good!"
Yin Jun nodded without hesitation.
Niu Bijian didn't expect him to agree so simply, and said dumbfounded: "Am I too easy to negotiate?"
"It's not. Yin Jun said, "It's just a matter of saying something, why don't you agree? Anyway, I'm not a god, no one will think that what I said must be right, isn't it? This is friendship, everyone understands." ”
Niu Bijian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
This kid is really free and easy!
