Newbijian is confident that this sense of danger is not a melancholy nuisance, but comes from the sharpest intuition that has been honed by decades of wandering around the mall.

Especially in the past ten years, he has climbed to the top of Xiangjiang society, and his vision has naturally broadened a lot with the change of status.

Qinhe's acquisition method of throwing out the share swap plan naturally reminds him of the process of Hongkong Land's successful forcible takeover of the dairy company between 1972 and 1973.

At that time, the milk company could only be said to be "innocent and guilty". It has ice factories in Pok Fu Lam Ranch, Causeway Bay, Kwun Tong and other places, and it covers a large area.

At that time, the real estate industry was in a frenzy stage, so various consortia set their sights on these plots of land with great appreciation potential and tried to buy the landlord's milk company.

In this regard, the dairy company stated that it would not accept the acquisition and would not develop real estate on the grounds of maintaining its ancestral business.

On October 30, 1972, Hongkong Land formally offered to acquire the shares of the Dairy Farm Company, exchanging two shares with a face value of 5 yuan in cash for a share of 7 yuan and 5 jiao in the hands of the shareholders of Dairy Farm, but Zhou Xinian, the chairman of the Dairy Farm Company, responded by refusing.

Hongkong Land refused to let go, so the largest acquisition war since the opening of Xiangjiang broke out between the two sides, the so-called "Hongkong Land Drinking Milk" incident.

In order to maintain control of the dairy company, Zhou Xinian bought large shares of the dairy company to increase his holdings.

Under the fierce competition, the stock price of the dairy company soared to an all-time high of more than 200 Hong Kong dollars.

But even this could not stop Hongkong Land from annexing the dairy company, and it launched a surprising "share swap" plan. That is, five new shares will be given for every Hongkong Land share. Induce shareholders of the dairy company to give up their shares.

With increasing pressure. The dairy farm company had to change its initial position and enlist the assistance of Wang Dehui's Chinachem Properties to propose a plan for joint real estate development, hoping to gain shareholder support.

At the same time, the two sides launched an advertising war in the newspapers, and for a while, it became the focus of the entire market.

It is not difficult to imagine that compared with Hongkong Land, which is already the largest real estate company in Hong Kong. Zhou Xinian's Dairy Company and Wang Dehui's Chinachem are also not dominant, and their partnership plan will not prevent shareholders from taking their shares to Hongkong Land for exchange.

Eventually, the battle ended in December 1972.

Hongkong Land won a big victory, successfully acquiring an 80% stake in Dairy Farm and taking control of Dairy Farm and its subsidiaries such as Wellcome. And Zhou Xinian had to reluctantly step down as chairman of the company.

If there is any difference between Qinhe and the original Landmark, it is that the technology stocks exchanged for it are more attractive and lethal.

Sensing that the situation was beginning to turn against Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson, Newbi was determined to find a way for the two sides to reconcile, but the matter should not be publicized. He had to do it himself.

After careful consideration, Newbi resolutely decided to find the charter king as the middleman. Although the two sides had a lot of grievances in the battle for Wharf the year before last, the shopping mall is this ecology, and things have passed, and they always have to pay attention to demeanor on the surface, not to mention that they are the losing party.

As soon as he heard this, the charter king immediately started tai chi, he didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

"Ming people don't say dark words, when they were fighting for control of Wharf, Tang Huan must have taken the opportunity to buy low and sell land in the market to make a profit, and in the end he didn't choose to buy land but you as the receiver, to say that you have nothing to do with each other will definitely not be tenable. Niu Bijian also fought hard, and he did not shy away from revealing his scars.

"After all, there is a generation gap between me and him by dozens of years, and the relationship is really not as close as you say. The charter king snorted, "Maybe these young people have more contact with him." ”

Niu Bi endured the strong discomfort caused by the kind of parasitic fence that he begged for, and asked with an impassive expression: "That's okay, please ask your son-in-law to help spread the word, as long as Tang Huan is willing to stop this hostile acquisition, I can give up the Xiangjiang phone or Xiangjiang electric light." ”

If you don't even help with such a simple microphone, then it will be too much to talk about, so the charter king immediately found Wu Guangzheng, made a solemn gesture, and gave a few orders.

When Wu Guangzheng came to Tang Huan and conveyed the words, Tang Huan snorted disdainfully, "I'll use him to let me, won't I reach out and take it myself." ”

"I knew you wouldn't give up. Wu Guangzheng laughed, "Take this back, and I'll be on the wrong side." ”

……

After being rejected by Tang Huan mercilessly, Niu Bijian was not discouraged, he expected this result from the beginning, so he implemented the second set of plans.

In the colonial era of more than 100 years, Jardine Matheson has always maintained a decisive influence on the politics and economy of Hong Kong, and its senior class has long occupied the important position of non-official members of the Executive Bureau.

Taking advantage of this, Niupik easily found the outgoing Governor MacLehose. Of course, his lobbying this time cannot be as straightforward as in the charter king, but skillfully proceeds from the overall situation.

"At present, the overall performance of Xiangjiang's stock market is worrying, and Tang Huan is really adding chaos to Xiangjiang by relying on the superior capital gathered from the United States. ”

Speaking of this, Niu Bijian made a sad expression, "The chaos in the stock market caused by Tang Huan's attempt to buy Hongkong Land reminds me of the big stock market crash in 1973. At that time, Hongkong Land's forcible takeover of the dairy farm company triggered a frenzied speculation in the stock market, coupled with the deterioration of the external situation, and finally the stock market crashed. ”

Niu Bijian shook his head and sighed, "Hongkong Land didn't expect that a very ordinary commercial forcible acquisition would become the fuse of the stock market crash, which is really distressing." Today's situation is too similar to that of the past, and we can't help but guard against it. ”

MacLehose listened carefully to Niu Bijian's analysis, and nodded his head again and again, the big stock market crash happened during his tenure, and he couldn't help but remember it vividly. Although the so-called "active non-intervention" policy is pursued, it depends on the situation.

Moreover, MacLehose believes that his career as governor of Hong Kong for more than ten years has been very successful. He didn't want to leave office. Another stock market crash. Draw an incomplete end.

"The takeover and anti-takeover war that happened between the two of you is indeed not suitable for a long time, but I heard that this is caused by a suspicion, and it may not be so easy to get Tang Huan to stop. ”

MacLehose looked at Niu Bijian expectantly, since the other party took the initiative to find the door, he must have been prepared.

"Hongkong Land is willing to make the most sincere concessions. The part of the equity of Xiangjiang Telephone or Xiangjiang Electric Lamp, he chooses at will. Newbijian replied with a solemn and awe-inspiring voice.

"Since you're thinking so much about the big picture, I'll coordinate it. MacLehose nodded with satisfaction, "I think Chinese mainland does not want to see the Xiangjiang stock market crash occur, it is better to invite the Xiangjiang branch of the Xinhua News Agency to also come, Tang Huan is from the mainland, maybe it will play an unexpected role in promoting." ”

Niu Bijian nodded in agreement, what he wanted was this kind of suppression by the Xiangjiang official. Hmph, soft doesn't work. Then come hard.

……

When Tang Huan appeared at the banquet held by MacLehose, he immediately became the focus of attention. Guy rarely participates in such activities in Xiangjiang, and the recent commotion is so great that it has long been the center of discussion in the streets and alleys.

Everyone is secretly watching to see if Tang Huan will meet with the other side of the war, Jardine Matheson President Niu Bijian, and if so, what will happen between the two sides.

Obviously, the sword and sword shadow that everyone expected did not appear. They don't know that MacLehose is creating conditions for the two to make peace, and the script will not take into account the tastes of these audiences.

Tang Huan saw that there was really a persuasion scene at this banquet, so he pretended to be confused with a smile.

First, the diplomatic rhetoric of the Xinhua News Agency's Xiangjiang Branch, and then MacLehose's worries, were nothing more than persuading Tang Huan to stop there, so as not to cause a violent shock in the Xiangjiang stock market, as the stock market crash in 1973 was a lesson from the past. At present, Xiangjiang is confused about the future, and it is really not appropriate to make trouble.

"Persuade you, persuade you, and even buckle your hat. Tang Huan was displeased, and said in his heart that in the original time and space, the economic level of the Sino-British negotiation process was chaotic. Maybe it's the one who did it.

"If I'm not mistaken, Hongkong Land's last big move to forcibly buy the dairy company was to announce that it would give five bonus shares for free. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan smiled sheepishly, "It's a pity that this move is a deceptive digital trick, bullying shareholders who don't understand the knowledge of the stock market, and there is no concept of 'ex-dividend' and 'ex-right', and finally the collective game collapsed." ”

"Compared with this, my share exchange plan is simply a kind of welfare, and it can definitely withstand the postgraduate entrance examination, which can be seen from everyone's active participation. Tang Huan glanced at the people around him, "This is fundamentally different from when Hongkong Land finally took advantage of the stock market crash and took the milk company with empty gloves and white wolves." ”

"If you have to be connected with that stock market crash...... Tang Huan sneered, "Then I can only say one thing, you think too highly of me." ”

Seeing that he choked the person who tried to persuade him to shake his head and smile bitterly, Tang Huan no longer paid attention to the other party, but turned his gaze to Niu Bijian, "You should have heard of what it means to open a bow without turning back." Now that the arrows have flown out, you are running to make peace, which is too child's play, I'm really sorry, I can't do it. ”

Seeing that his plan failed again, Niu Bijian couldn't help but be annoyed, "Are you so sure that you will definitely be the one who wins?"

"Your summation gesture proves from the side that the possibility is very high. After Tang Huan replied on the spot, he changed his words and said: "Actually, your current situation in Jardine is not easy, and you need to face an internal power struggle. Instead of being so aggrieved, it's better to change the boss, I have always been kind to my subordinates. ”

A persuasion of peace suddenly turned into a persuasion, and Niu Bijian could no longer sit still,

At that time, the real estate industry was in a frenzy stage, so various consortia set their sights on these plots of land with great appreciation potential and tried to buy the landlord's milk company.

In this regard, the dairy company stated that it would not accept the acquisition and would not develop real estate on the grounds of maintaining its ancestral business.

Under the fierce competition, the stock price of the dairy company soared to an all-time high of more than 200 Hong Kong dollars.

But even so, it could not stop Hongkong Land from swallowing up the Dairy Farm Company, and it launched a surprising "share swap" plan, that is, five new shares for every Hongkong Land share, to lure the shareholders of the Dairy Farm Company to give up their shares.

As the pressure mounted, the company had to change its initial stance and enlist the assistance of Wong's Chinachem Properties to propose a joint development plan in the hope of gaining shareholder support.

At the same time, the two sides launched an advertising war in the newspapers, and for a while, it became the focus of the entire market.

It is not difficult to imagine that compared with Hongkong Land, which is already the largest real estate company in Hong Kong, Zhou Xinian's Milk Company and Wang Dehui's Chinachem do not have an advantage combined, and their cooperation plan cannot prevent shareholders from taking their shares to Hongkong Land for exchange.

Eventually, the battle ended in December 1972.

Hongkong Land won a big victory, successfully acquiring an 80% stake in Dairy Farm and taking control of Dairy Farm and its subsidiaries such as Wellcome. And Zhou Xinian had to reluctantly step down as chairman of the company.
