Chapter 1045: Negotiations with the Four Tycoons

Where did Fairy Li go, he was naturally picked up by Rongle's people, and almost as soon as the game ended, Fairy Li was picked up by Rongle's people on the Yunfan.

At this time, the two of them were sweating wantonly on the Yunfan, the eighteen-year-old Li Fairy, absolutely just out of the factory configuration, with the youthfulness of a girl, and also the charm that should belong to the goblin, definitely worthy of her title of goblin, Rong Le even had the idea of calling the goblin.

Think about it, the two most famous goblins in Xiangjiang are definitely the top......

However, Rong Le finally canceled this idea, anyway, Fairy Li has just been unraveled by his own nature, and it is not good to be too aggressive, so it is better to wait for a while to train.

The two of them took three days on the Yunfan before they arrived at Xiangjiang......

After the two got off the boat, they got in the car directly and came to a villa located in Repulse Bay, where Rong Le gave Fairy Li the residence.

After arranging Fairy Li here, Rong Le left directly, there is a big battle waiting for Rong Le today, looking at the back of Rong Le leaving, Fairy Li finally couldn't help cheering, this is the life she dreamed of, luxury cars, upstairs There are bags and clothes of various luxury brands, Fairy Li knows that he has bought himself at a good price.

Where did Rong Le go?

Rong Lok came to the Hutchison Building in Central, which is the headquarters of Hutchison, and the reason why Rong Lok came here today is for the 'crown jewel' of Heung Kong Real Estate.

During the stock market crash, Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong and others formed a new consortium to acquire Hongkong Land's shares, absorbing 8.2% of Hongkong Land's shares. became the second largest shareholder of Hongkong Land, and today is the day of Li Chaoren and others showdown with Jardine Matheson.

As for why Li Chaoren and others chose to have a showdown with Jardine Matheson now, in order to avoid the provisions of the Heung Kong Takeovers and Mergers Code.

The purchase price of the proposing party shall not be less than the value of the shares of the acquired company purchased by the acquirer within 6 months. Before the stock market crash in October, some of the shares of Hongkong Land absorbed by the new consortium were more than $7. After the stock market crash, Hongkong Land's share price fell to $3.77 at one point, and then the stock price rebounded with the broader market, hovering around $6 in April 1988. In order to avoid being constrained by the Takeovers and Mergers Code and needing to acquire Hongkong Land at the high price before the stock market crash, everyone waited for the six-month deadline to expire before resuming the offensive.

In fact, last month, there were rumors in the market that the Chinese consortium already controlled a considerable amount of Hongkong Land's shares, and planned to send a letter to Hongkong Land requesting that a proposal to appoint Cheng Yu-tung, chairman of New World, and Lee Shau Kee, chairman of Henderson Land, be added to the annual general meeting on June 6.

As soon as the news broke, Hongkong Land's share price soared by HK$7.30. Since then, there have been weekly rumors of the two sides of the acquisition.

However, Jardine Matheson responded by issuing a joint statement using Jardine Matheson Strategy and its controlled Dairy Farm International, which issued 10% new shares to Milk International at a very low price, increasing its stake in Dairy International from just under 35% to 44.8%.

Market participants believe that Yice's subscription of Dairy International's new shares will inevitably exceed the 35% trigger point for a comprehensive acquisition, and Yice will put forward a comprehensive acquisition proposal as usual. However, the lukewarm response from the existing shareholders of Dairy Farm International as the purchase price was lower than the actual share price of Dairy Farm International's actual net asset value, which was precisely what Dairy Farm International did not need to use a large amount of capital, and it also allowed Milk Farm International's stake in Dairy Farm International to exceed the trigger point for the full takeover, thus strengthening Milk Nine's controlling power in Dairy Farm International.

Jardine Matheson's move can be called a killer copper, disrupting the deployment of the Chinese-funded consortium. If the Chinese-funded consortium pursues and fights fiercely, Yice and the controlled land will immediately do the same, and Yice will also not have to spend a huge amount of money to control the land.

The Chinese-funded consortium held an emergency meeting, and the consortium added a new member: Rong Gongzi of CITIC Group. In order to prevent Yice and Hongkong Land from diluting their shares, it was decided to cut through the mess quickly and solve the problem quickly.

Rong Le's arrival surprised these four people, in fact, before this, Li Chaoren and others had also invited Rong Le to join the ranks of the acquisition, but Rong Le did not agree, this time when everyone was about to negotiate with Jardine, Rong Le suddenly appeared, making them a little unable to guess Rong Le's behavior.

"Rong Sheng came here suddenly, I don't know what happened?" Li Chaoren asked, and the others also looked at Rong Le with puzzled eyes.

Rong Le smiled faintly and said, "There are really some things I want to discuss with the four of you, I don't know if there is a place, I want to discuss some things with the four of you in private." ”

In order to welcome Jardine, Li Chaoren and the others prepared a negotiation team of more than ten people, and they were all sitting in the conference room at this time, and Rong Le's sudden request obviously did not want more people to participate in it.

The four of Li Chaoren glanced at each other, nodded, and said, "Of course!"

Then Li Chaoren and the others walked to Li Chaoren's office with Rong Le, and Wang Jiatun also followed behind, wanting to go over together.

Rong Le turned to look at Wang Jiatun and smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Wang, I have some business matters to discuss with Li Sheng and others, and I ask Mr. Wang to wait here for a while!"

Wang Jiatun's face was slightly stunned, and then he became a little embarrassed, but he still nodded.

Rong Gongzi was next to Rong Le, and naturally heard the conversation between Rong Le and Wang Jiatun, and after a few people came to Li Chaoren's office, Rong Gongzi asked in a low voice: "Rong Sheng, is there a conflict with President Wang?"

Rong Le shook his head with a smile and said, "How could it be, when our TV station launched the satellite, President Wang pulled the strings!"

Rong Gongzi saw that Rong Le didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't continue to ask further, after all, Rong Le was there in person and chatted with the four of them individually, there must be something important to talk about, especially at this juncture.

It must be for the landmark!

"I wonder what the four of you have a chance of winning the acquisition of Hongkong Land?" Rong Le didn't beat around the bush, and asked straight to the point.

Li Chaoren and the four of them glanced at each other, and sure enough, Rongle also came for the land.

"I don't know how many shares of Landset Rongsheng have in his hands?" Li Chaoren asked, in the impression of everyone, Rongle has always been a battle not to be sure, and now he finds everyone and asks about Land, obviously he has his own countermeasures, and then thinks of the stock market crash, Rongle took out more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars to save the market, and it seems that some of them have been invested in Land.

"Not much, 19%!" Rong Le said in a surprising voice. Rongle actually wants to acquire more shares of Hongkong Land, but Hongkong Land is a high-quality stock, even during the stock market crash is a minority, and it is a very good achievement to be able to acquire 19% of the shares.

Li Chaoren and others all showed a look of surprise, you must know that they began to lay out the land before the stock market crash, and so far they have only acquired 8.2% of the shares, and Rongle was able to quietly acquire 19% of the shares, which is really surprising to everyone.

Zheng Yutong smiled wryly and said: "Ah Le, you are hiding so deeply, I didn't expect that you already have 19% of the equity of Hongkong Land in your hands, how can we all play?"

Li Zhaoji asked on the side, "Rongsheng, what are you going to do?"

Originally, the battle for the land was just a confrontation between them and Jardine Matheson, but now there was a sudden addition of Rongle, which made their plans even more unpredictable.

Rong Le sat on the sofa and said with a smile: " What can I do, as for the relationship between me and Jardine Matheson, I think I don't say, everyone should know, Jardine Matheson will definitely not sell the shares of Jardine Land to me, now I don't have as many shares of Jardine as Jardine, if I want to fight against them, I naturally need the shares of Edex in your hands, of course, I also know that everyone has their own ideas about Land, today I came here, is to have a suggestion, you may wish to listen, you and Jardine Matheson negotiations, I will not participate, if you can acquire the shares of Jardine Matheson, then I will be a shareholder of Jardine Land, and you jointly manage Land。 ”

"But if you fail to negotiate with Jardine Matheson today, then I hope you can sell your shares in the land to me, I can guarantee that my bid will definitely be higher than Jardine Matheson, and the rest is the fight between me and Jardine, what do you think?"

Li Chaoren asked next to him: "What does Rongsheng mean that if our negotiations with Jardine Matheson fail, Rongsheng is ready to start a direct competition with Jardine Matheson and make a hostile takeover of Land?"

Rong Le nodded and said, "Yes, Hongkong Land and our Rong's InvestmentAs the company with the largest land bank in Xiangjiang Central, we Rong's Investment have always hoped to include Hongkong Land under our umbrella. ”

Because of the emergence of Rongle, although Hongkong Land has lost the two landmark buildings of Exchange Square and Jardine Building, Hongkong Land's land bank in Xiangjiang Central is still the only two real estate companies in Hong Kong, and although Hongkong Land has lost these two landmark buildings, Hongkong Land has also acquired other properties in Central, and there are also many properties in Haojiang, so the valuation of Hongkong Land is now not as good as the valuation of another time and space, but it is also more than two-thirds.

If Rongle can acquire Land, then almost half of the properties in Central will belong to Rong's investment, and there will be some landmark buildings on the Haojiang side, which will be included in Rongle's bag, at that time, Rongle is the biggest land king in Xiangjiang.

Li Chaoren said: "Rongsheng wants to make a hostile takeover of Hongkong Land, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”

Rong Le was slightly stunned and asked, "What does Li Sheng mean that if you can't negotiate with Hongkong Land, you are also ready to launch an acquisition war?"

Li Chaoren shook his head, the four of them had actually discussed two countermeasures to negotiate with Jardine Matheson, the first was naturally that they hoped to be able to acquire 26% of the shares of Hongkong Land in the hands of Jardine Matheson, but if this article could not be negotiated, they would not initiate a hostile takeover, but would choose to sell their shares to Jardine Matheson.

It's just that I didn't expect Rong Le to suddenly cut into the bar and also want the shares of the land in their hands.

"I just got to the bottom of my life, and I saw Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang hopes that we can give up the acquisition of Hongkong Land!"

"Wangjiatun, why?" Rong Le asked with some incomprehension.

"Mr. Wang thinks that if we take Hongkong Land hostilously, it will be easy to force the entire Jardine Matheson family out of Xiangjiang, which will cause panic among other British-funded consortiums in Xiangjiang, which will be detrimental to certain things!" Li Zhaoji said with some frustration.

Rong Le suddenly.

In another time and space, when Rong Le saw the battle about the acquisition of Hongkong Land, he was puzzled by the final outcome, the joint consortium composed of Li Chaoren and others, which had long surpassed Jardine Matheson in terms of comprehensive strength, why did it suddenly give up the acquisition of Hongkong Land when it was clearly possible to win, and sold it to Jardine Matheson at a price of HK$8.95 per share at a price lower than the average price when he acquired 8.2% of Hongkong Land's shares.

At the same time, it also signed a humiliating treaty, restricting the Chinese-funded consortium involved in the acquisition from touching the equity of Hongkong Land for 7 years!

Now it seems that the crux of the problem has been found.

"I can't stop you from leaving, now that Xiangjiang is definitely going to return, and I have to take care of the ideas of these British-funded consortia, I don't think it's necessary at all, I really think it's the same Xiangjiang as before?

Jardine Matheson's act of re-registering is obviously a loss of confidence in Xiangjiang, and now it is impossible for them to let these Chinese-funded consortiums take care of their feelings, which is simply impossible in Rongle's opinion.

"Rong Sheng's words are true, but some objective reasons always have to be taken care of!" Li Chaoren said helplessly.

Rong Le shook his head and said: "I can handle the communication with the country myself, Li Sheng, you don't have to care about these things, let's talk about the transaction between us!"

Zheng Yutong suddenly said: "Rongsheng, why don't you join us, how about we manage Hongkong Land together?"

Zheng Yutong's words made Li Chaoren and the others shine, according to what Rong Le just said, he must be going to buy Hongkong Land, if Rong Le makes a move, the impact of some objective reasons will not exist, even if there is an idea, it is also for Rong Le, it is not important to them, and at the same time they can also own Hongkong, isn't this the best of both worlds.

Rong Le glanced at Zheng Yutong, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Uncle Zheng, you don't pay attention to what you do, obviously you want to push me out as a gunman!"

Zheng Yutong sneered and said: "Anyway, you have to do it, even if you don't have us to join, don't you have to do it!"

Rong Le said again: "Uncle Zheng, I am preparing to privatize Hongkong Land, and the funds involved in this are an astronomical amount. ”

Zheng Yutong and others couldn't help but ask, how much money Rongle has thrown out during this time, and at this time he is still thinking about privatizing Hongkong Land, which is another investment close to 15 billion Hong Kong dollars, if Rongle really plans to launch a hostile takeover, it will exceed 20 billion Hong Kong dollars in minutes!

How much cash did Rong Le have in his hand, the four people present remembered again, a question that all Xiangjiang people were very curious about!
