Hongkong Land's shares closed at HK$6.9 per share yesterday, and the HK$10 per share given by Rong's Investment directly increased by HK$3.1 per share.

But at the same time, it also surprised the citizens of Xiangjiang, it was obviously a showdown between Jardine Matheson and other Chinese-funded consortiums, but now Rong Le was killed halfway again, how many times did Rong's Investment come out to cut off Hu?

The previous big hotel group, the current Jardine Matheson, and the few stock market battles when Rongle first started, everyone found that Rongle seemed to like this feeling of killing halfway.

With the release of Rong's investment announcement, the negotiations between Jardine Matheson and Li Chaoren and others were also disclosed last night, and the citizens of Xiangjiang knew that Rongle had made the same choice as the previous big hotel group, which was to secretly acquire the shares of the other party, while waiting for the results of the negotiations between the two parties.

At this time, the four of them, Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, and Rong Gongzi got together again, although they have sold their shares in the land to Rong Le, but they are also paying attention to this matter, Rong's investment in the acquisition of the land battle, it is likely to become the most sensational acquisition battle in the history of Xiangjiang, and it will also change the market of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang.

"Ah Le, this time the hand is too big, although last night, I told Simon Keswick that I wanted to buy the shares of Hongkong Land at a price of 10 Hong Kong dollars, but that was more of a deterrent to Yice at the negotiation table, and now Ah Le has really directly set the price per share to 10 Hong Kong dollars, this time the Keswick family is in trouble!"

Zheng Yutong looked at the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"Now it's up to Simon Keswick to respond!" Li Zhaoji said.

"Simon Keswick will not be easy to give into, Hongkong Land is too important to Jardine Matheson, although Simon Keswick said before that he wants to sell Hongkong Land, but now it seems that it is all smoke bombs released by Simon Keswick, they will not give up Hongkong Land easily!" Li Chaoren sat next to him and analyzed.

Rong Gongzi asked on the side: "Even if Simon Keswick doesn't give up, what can he do?" No one knows how much cash Rong Le has in his hand, but according to my estimate, it is at least 15 billion Hong Kong dollars. ”

Zheng Yutong nodded and said: "I believe this, you may not know yet, before the stock market crash, Rongle has been laid out in the United States, Rongle has invested in the Japanese dollar and last year's stock market crash in recent years, although we don't know the specific amount, but it must be more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, only these two Rongle earnings are likely to reach hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars!"

Li Chaoren and others couldn't help but be surprised, they all knew the relationship between Zheng Yutong and Liu Luanxiong, and Liu Luanxiong could be called a hardcore follower of Rongle in recent years, and the news given by Zheng Yutong was absolutely reliable.

Li Zhaoji couldn't help but say: "Then this time Jardine is lost!"

Li Chaoren shook his head and said: "It can't be said that Jardine will definitely lose, now the development of Kyushu Bank Group has become a great threat to HSBC, in my opinion, HSBC is very likely to help Jardine Matheson this time." ”

Li Chaoren was the closest collaborator to HSBC among the four people present, and now that Li Chaoren said this, the other three also fell into deep thought.

If this battle finally forms Jardine Matheson and HSBC against Rongle and Kyushu Bank Group, then this movement is really big enough!

The top British-funded consortium in Hong Kong, the top bank and the richest man in Hong Kong are also the top banks in Hong Kong!

It's really impossible to tell who wins or loses!

However, the four of them are still more inclined to Rongle to win this victory, after all, Jardine Matheson and HSBC belong to two different forces, and Rong's Investment and Kyushu Bank Group actually belong to Rongle in the final analysis!

......

HSBC Tower!

Pu Weishi put down the phone in his hand, and John Bao, who was sitting opposite him, also said with a solemn face: "Did you really decide to help Jardine Matheson this time?"

Pu Weishi smiled bitterly: "Rongle's development is too fast, if Rongle's acquisition of Hongkong Land is really successful this time, his prestige will be higher, and even with Kyushu Bank Group, it will be more favored by the citizens of Xiangjiang, and then our HSBC bank's position in Xiangjiang will be even more passive." ”

John Bao nodded, knowing that Pu Weishi was telling the truth, if Kyushu Bank Group was allowed to develop like this, there was no need to wait for 97 Bank of China to develop, and it was very likely that within this time period, Kyushu Bank Group's business in Xiangjiang would surpass HSBC.

......

Jardine Matheson!

Simon Keswick had already rushed over, and at this time, Bao Fuda, the general manager of Land, was already sitting in Simon Keswick's office.

"HSBC has agreed to lend us a loan, and immediately issued a notice that Yice will also acquire Hongkong Land's shares at a price of HK$10 per share, and at the same time, how are Hongkong Land's shareholders I asked you to contact?" asked Simon Keswick.

Before arriving at Jardine Matheson, Simon Keswick had informed Bao Fuda and asked him to immediately contact Hongkong Land's many shareholders in the hope of acquiring their shares at a premium.

Bao Fuda's face was slightly ugly, and said: "I have contacted them, but now they have not given an accurate reply, now everyone knows the struggle between us and Rongle, and at the same time chose to wait and see, thinking that the stock price of Hongkong Land will rise again, so there are few responses to us!"

"Hmph, sure enough, it is easy to share wealth and prosperity, and it is difficult to share hardships, when the land was in the hands of Jardine Matheson, how many dividends they could get every year, but now they choose to watch from the wall!" Although Simon Keswick had already guessed that this would be the end, he was still very angry in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Simon Keswick continued to ask, "Has the north given a reply?"

"I have replied, but it is also not optimistic, the other party said that this is a local business competition in Xiangjiang, and it is inconvenient for them to participate too much, and I listen to them, Rongle has contacted the top level directly, and they can't help much this time!" Bao Fuda replied.

"Hmph, aren't they worried that our Jardine Matheson will completely withdraw from Xiangjiang, and this will cause panic among other British-funded consortia?" said Simon Keswick through gritted teeth.

"I've already mentioned this vaguely, but they can't help it, Rong Le directly talks to the top, according to the importance that the highest level in the north attaches to Rong Le, they won't let Rong Le chill because of us!" Bao Fuda said helplessly.

"Humph!" Simon Keswick snorted coldly again.

......

Oriental Pearl, inside Rongle's office.

Rong Le also just put down the phone, his call was naturally called to Shangjing, Rong Le also analyzed the situation in Xiangjiang to Xiao Lao, Jardine has already moved to Bermuda, it is obvious that they do not trust the development of Xiangjiang in the future, and the panic they mentioned may cause panic among the British-funded consortium is just their means.

However, what makes Rong Le happy is that Xiao Lao is not clear about this matter at all, that is to say, the so-called intervention is just decided by the representatives of Xiangjiang, which also makes Rong Le more determined to think that history will not change!

"Chairman, Jardine Matheson has just issued an announcement that they have received support from HSBC and have also raised the purchase price to HK$10 per share. Liang Botao reported to Rong Le.

"What's the reaction in the market now?" asked Rong Le.

"Most people are choosing to wait and see, after all, now everyone knows that our competition with Jardine Matheson has begun, and everyone thinks that Hongkong Land's share price will rise, and according to the information we have received, some securities dealers are now hoarding a large number of shares of Hongkong Land, and they are waiting to be sold!" Liang Botao informed Rongle of the stock market situation.

Rongle: "How many shares have we acquired now?"

“3.6%！”

"The news is released that the price per share of the acquisition of Hongkong Land shares has been raised to HK$12 per share, and at the same time, it shows that our Rongshi Investment has held 30.8% of Hongkong Land's shares, and this price will only be maintained for an hour, and after an hour, Rongshi Investment will stop acquiring Hongkong Land shares on the stock market!"

"At the same time, we will inform Hongkong Land that we, Rongshi Investment, will be the largest shareholder of Hongkong Land, and in three hours, we will hold a general meeting of shareholders of Hongkong Land!"

......

On the second floor of the Oriental Pearl, in the lobby of the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange Center, at this time, the representatives of all the securities companies are staring at the stock price of Hongkong Land, and at the same time, everyone is also staring at the representatives of Rong's Investment and Yice, and their decision today will determine how much these securities dealers can profit.

At this time, the representative of Imperial Securities, which had been merged into the Kyushu Bank Group, directly shouted out the company's decision.

"Rongle is really wealthy, and he directly raised the purchase price by 2 Hong Kong dollars per share!"

"Shall we sell?"

"Don't worry, this should be a smoke bomb released by Rongle, let's take a look at Jardine's countermeasures first!"

"But Rong's Investment has said that the purchase price of HK$12 per share will only last for one hour, and if we miss it, we will lose a lot!"

"I said that this is a smoke bomb released by Rongle, how can it be possible for Rong's Investment to acquire 4.7% of Hongkong Land in an hour!"

At this time, no one thought that Rongle's ultimate goal was Hongkong Land's full acquisition and privatization, and in their opinion, Rongle only needed to become Hongkong Land's largest shareholder.

Hongkong Land's status in the minds of Xiangjiang people is too high, and it has been a well-deserved leader in the real estate industry in Xiangjiang for decades, and although Rongle also has many commercial buildings, these commercial buildings are scattered in various group companies under Rong's Investment, so many people have always believed that Hongkong Land is the king of property in Xiangjiang Central!

Of course, some people think that the price of 12 Hong Kong dollars is very appropriate, and then they put up the shares in their hands and were taken away in an instant.

Jardine Matheson naturally received the news, Simon Keswick didn't expect Rongle to be so decisive, his own side, just decided to keep up with Rongle's offer, and the other party immediately raised it by 2 Hong Kong dollars per share.

Bao Fuda looked at Simon Keswick's face and asked, "What should we do now?"

Simon Keswick said in a deep voice: "What else can I do, naturally I will raise the price!"

Bao Fuda said again and again: "However, we are now following their pace, and the shares in our hands are already less than Rong's investment, if this is the case, even if we raise the purchase price to the same price as the other party, we will not have any advantage!"

Simon Keswick asked, "How much do we own in Hongkong Land now?"

"28.31 percent, only 2.31 percent more than yesterday. Bao Fuda said in frustration, at this time he had a faint feeling in his heart that Hongkong Land might really change hands this time!

"Let's raise the purchase price first, didn't Rong Le say that it would only take an hour? This shows that Rong Le's financial resources have begun to stretch thin, as long as we survive this hour, we still have a chance to win!" Simon Keswick decided.

......

"Rongsheng, I'm Henry Keswick!"

At this time, Rong Le received a call from Henry Keswick, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Jardine Group.

Although Henry Keswick has retired into the background, went to England, and gave up the position of chairman of Jardine Matheson to his younger brother Simon Keswick, everyone knows that the real person who speaks to Jardine is this Henry Keswick.

"Hello, Mr. Keswick, I don't know why it's worth calling at this time?" Rong Le asked.

"Rongsheng, I think we can talk about the future of Hongkong Land!" Henry Keswick didn't panic too much on the phone.

"Oh, is it possible that Mr. Keswick is interested in selling his stake in Hongkong Land?"

"If Rongsheng really wants to become a major shareholder of Hongkong Land, it's not impossible!" said Henry Keswick.

Henry Keswick's attitude surprised Rong Le a little, he didn't expect Henry Keswick to agree to become the largest shareholder of Hongkong Land.

"I want to hear about it!"

"I know that Rong Sheng's investment strategy in Hong Kong, especially in the battle of the Grand Hotel Group, Rong Sheng's performance is even more admirable, but it also shows the contemptible the basis for the cooperation between the two of us!" said Henry Keswick.

"Please continue!"

"We Yice sold part of our equity to Rongshi Investment to ensure Rong's Investment's status as the largest shareholder of Hongkong Land, but Rongsheng's attitude towards Hongkong Land can be the same as the attitude towards Grand Hotel Group, to ensure that we Yice has the same management rights as Hongkong Land, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" Henry Keswick said his plan.

Rong Le shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I will disappoint Mr. Keswick this time, our Rong's investment plan for Hongkong Land is not the same as that of the Grand Hotel Group, we have our own development plan for Hongkong Land, and we don't plan to simply be the largest shareholder of Hongkong Land!"

Henry Keswick was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and said in a deep voice: "Rongsheng, there are still a few years before 97, and the current Xiangjiang is still under British rule, if Rongsheng insists on acquiring Land, have you ever thought about what kind of consequences he will bear?"
