Chapter 343: Jardine Matheson

Whether it is the London stock market, or the Hong Kong, Singapore, and Sydney stock markets, the listed companies of the Jardine Matheson Group have been attacked indiscriminately. The www.biquge.info of Jardine Matheson, the core of the Jardine Matheson Group, has been hit hard, and the stock price has been wiped out by two-thirds, which is almost the same as waste paper.

After taking short-term funding from Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank as collateral for Hongkong Land and Jardine Pacific, Jardine Matheson has not been able to stabilize the share prices of its companies.

It's really sad to be at a loss......

Just when there was a gloomy cloud above and below the Jardine Group, a ray of light that might have been dawn or lightning broke through the clouds and shone down.

Two takeover offers were placed on the table of Benjamin Keswick, chairman of the board of directors of Jardine Matheson, and SS Financial Holdings requested Jardine Matheson to acquire shares in Hongkong Land and Jardine Insurance Advisors Group.

It was only at this time that the Jardine Matheson Group completely figured out who was behind it - no need to ask, it must be SS Financial Holdings.

Last time, SS Financial Holdings asked Jardine Matheson Group to buy shares of Jardine Matheson, but Benjamin Keswick rejected it fiercely, and was ready to fight with the other party in the capital market, so that they could know the power of the British consortium. But unexpectedly, in the end, SS Financial Holding "coaxed", and after making a move, he retreated decisively, so that the Jardine Group, which was full of strength and ready to attack, almost suffocated internal injuries.

In addition, Tianchen Fund, Suning Real Estate, and EX Fund, the concerted actors of SS Financial Holdings, also took 2% of the shares of Jardine Matheson Strategy, which made Jardine Matheson Group suffer a loss.

I thought that this matter would be revealed, but who knew that it would be done again today, and the battle was still so big - HSBC, Prudential, and Aviva Insurance took turns to fight, which is not a supergiant more powerful than Jardine Matheson?

The most painful thing is that after the mastermind behind the scenes, SS Financial Holdings, surfaced, Jardine Matheson Group was directly stunned - because they had just borrowed high-interest loans from Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank to fight with each other in the stock market.

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of SS Financial Holdings, Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank represents SS Financial Holdings to a certain extent, borrowing money from its own enemies to fight with its enemies. The most important thing is that the enemy really lent himself money, full of slotted horses.

I don't even need to think about it, this must be a "pit", just blame me for being too naïve - Benjamin Keswick, chairman of Jardine Matheson Group, wants to die.

However, now Jardine Matheson Group has fallen into a cash shortage, and even the funds from the Standard Chartered-Mitsui Sumitomo Bank loan have been trapped in the stock market. Either way, Jardine Matheson is not prepared to throw in the towel by selling its stakes in Hongkong Land and Jardine Insurance Advisors.

There's no way, it's really that the two companies that SS Financial Holdings wants are too bad, it's just digging meat from Jardine Matheson Group, and it's the fattest piece of meat. If SS Financial Holdings only buys Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, then without the slightest hesitation, Jardine Matheson Group will definitely sell it for the sake of "peace".

However, the Hongkong Land Group that SS Financial wants is too bad, it is a symbol of the glory of Jardine Matheson, and it is a symbol of their former domination of Hong Kong's economy.

Therefore, in any case, Jardine Matheson Group will not easily let go of the fat of Hongkong Group, even if it is a desperate fight, it must make a final effort.

In fact, in the face of absolute strength, all determination and fearlessness are useless.

On the same day that Benjamin Keswick strongly rejected SS Financial Holdings on behalf of Jardine Matheson, the stock prices of Jardine Matheson listed companies led by Jardine Matheson Strategy once again plummeted on a large scale.

There is no doubt that the tough attitude of Jardine Matheson Group has angered Fund X, and Fund X, which has been restrictive, directly smashed the market without any scruples. The overwhelming selling of orders directly smashed all retail investors, and at this time, even the most determined investors were completely shaken, because there was really no hope in sight.

As a result, countless retail investors who chose to cut their meat and leave the market and cut their positions to stop losses have thrown out their chips, indirectly helping Fund X to continue to kill the stock price.

When the last bit of capital in his hand was all gone, and the stock price of Jardine Matheson still couldn't stop falling, Benjamin Keswick was indeed desperate, but it also completely stirred up the small universe in his heart.

After fighting, Benjamin Keswick decided to fight to the death, even if his own fish died, he would let the other party's net break, this time not for the Hongkong Group, but for the dignity and honor of the century-old Jardine.

Borrowing large sums of money, selling non-core assets, and pledging financing...... As long as he can raise funds, Benjamin Keswick doesn't care about anything, and he decides to have a final showdown with SS Financial in the stock market.

Not to mention, there are always people who are not afraid of death and want to be buried with the Jardine Matheson Group, and there are real people who give Benjamin Keswick, a "madman", money - loans and asset purchases.

If it is just to buy assets, then there is nothing to say, after all, the British-funded consortium has always been the object of prey for the Hong Kong Chinese consortium. This time, Jardine Matheson Group sold some non-core assets cheaply, which is simply a feast of wealth for the Hong Kong Chinese consortium. Even the Hong Kong branch of Suning Group hopes to get a piece of the feast of this "prey" Jardine Matheson consortium.

However, some people who want to speculate actually dare to lend money to the Jardine Matheson Foundation, then Su Chenyu can't bear it - there are really people who dare to touch the tiger's ass and see if the tiger is angry.

Hehe, since you died, then I can't blame you!

Looking at the fax sent from Hong Kong, Su Chenyu handed it to Jim Rogers beside him with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Defeat the Jardine Group as soon as possible, and the next target is them." ”

Jim Rogers looked at the contents of the fax, smiled and nodded, an opponent of this level is not an opponent for Fund X at all. So, Jim Rogers smiled and said, "Sue, don't worry, the current Jardine Group is the prey targeted by our snipers, and it can take his life in every minute." ”

"Take down Hongkong Land and Jardine Insurance Advisors as soon as possible, Sir Jonathan is still waiting for our news." ”

Nodding, Jim Rogers said solemnly, "Well, I've been on the phone with Jamie, and I'm about to get to the red line." Jardine Matheson can be dealt with tomorrow. ”

Before the fundraising action of Jardine Matheson Group was completed, Fund X had already started, and it was a thunderstorm as soon as it came up - as soon as the market opened on the same day, Fund X tore off its disguise and announced that it would gradually reduce its holdings of all Jardine Group shares, including Jardine Strategy, in London, Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney.

Rumble......

The stock markets in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and other places have exploded directly, and the X fund, which has just set off a bloody storm in the European "currency war", has actually killed the stock market.

As soon as the X fund spoke, the Hang Seng Index immediately responded - a straight line plummeted, and the listed companies of the Jardine Matheson system were frantically sold!

When it was over, everyone could see that Jardine Matheson was finished—the desperate Jardine Matheson was at the end of its rope......
