Newbikin has always believed that as an old British aristocrat, he should have a neat and dignified demeanor and the heart to face anything calmly, but on this Sunday, the 15th of the United month, he completely lost his aristocratic demeanor and roared loudly in the office of the headquarters of Jardine Matheson. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"In one week, in just one week, Jardine's share price rose from 17. 8 up. You actually told me that everything is normal, your brain is not even as good as a reporter" He slapped the South China Morning Post on the table and shouted: "Where is your professionalism?" What a shame, a shame."

He shouted a few words, then loosened his tie hard, pointed to O'Connor, the person in charge of the Jardine Certificate, and said, "Okay, now you tell me, how many Jardine shares does this mysterious person have in his hand now?" ”

"According to estimates, it will take at least 100 million to 300 million Hong Kong dollars to raise the share price of Jardine Matheson, and this person may now have more than 10uu of Jardine Matheson shares, which is about about the total share capital of Jardine Matheson, and not more than that."

"It's just publicly circulated stocks, what about those financial investment institutions?" Niu Bijian stared at him and asked menacingly, "Have they privately handled a large amount of Jardine shares recently?" ”

"They don't go to work on weekends, so they can't reach anyone." O'Connor lowered his head and said weakly, "When the market opens tomorrow, I'll inquire immediately." ”

"Bastard, haven't you always boasted that Jardine Matheson is the most well-informed securities company in Hong Kong?" Niu Bijian suppressed his anger and loosened his tie, feeling that it was not enough, so Yu Crisp tore off his tie, threw it on the desk, and said: "Immediately ask me what method I use, in short, you must find out who this person is, how many shares of Jardine Matheson in his hands, if you can't inquire, you ...... You're going to jump to Victoria Harbour too."

O'Connor walked out of the conference room in disgrace, and only Bao Fuda, the general manager of Hongkong Land, was left in the office.

"You don't have to be too nervous, Mr. New. "Perhaps, as O'Connor said, this is just normal stock market volatility, after all, Pao's intention to abandon Wharf is great news for us," Bao explained. ”

"Pao Yugang is very cunning, he has a great appetite, even if we sell Wharf's shares, we need to pay a big price, not necessarily good." Niu Bijian shook his head, he picked up his tie, tied it again, and said as he tied it: "Last time I negotiated with him, I didn't reach any consensus, but the stock price rose again and again, which is very abnormal, I suspect that someone is taking the opportunity to snipe at Jardine." ”

"Jardine Matheson is a giant elephant, and there are few people in Hong Kong who are capable of sniping." Bao Fuda half-believed it and said: "British capital has always coexisted peacefully, only the Chinese group has malicious intentions towards us, people with this ability, only Bao Yugang, Li Ka-shing, Guo Desheng and Feng Jingxi, Bao Yugang is impossible to abandon Wharf and then buy Jardine Matheson's stocks, Li Ka-shing is busy taking care of Hutchison Whampoa, Guo Desheng has always been steady, focusing on real estate, rarely doing actions in the stock market, Feng Jingxi's new hung Kai If you want to absorb the shares of Jardine Matheson, O'Connor can't know, the rest of the families like the Li family and the He family, Most of them are rent-based properties, and without a lot of cash, I can't really think of anyone who is buying Jardine Matheson shares. ”

"You can't use your previous thinking to guess those Chinese." Niu Bijian sat on the office chair, let out a long breath, and said: "In the past, we British people wanted any piece of land, the Chinese would back down, since Li Ka-shing bid to rob the construction of the Admiralty subway station, the courage of the Chinese capital has increased, they are like bloodthirsty sharks chasing us and biting, last year Shen Bi gave Hutchison Whampoa to Li Ka-shing, and fueled this atmosphere, so I believe that this stock price fluctuation, someone must want to buy Jardine Matheson, there are many Chinese in Hong Kong, one or two may not be capable, But if ten or eight form a consortium, it will be terrible.

"So, who could it be?"

"It doesn't matter who it is, the key is now, how many shares this person has" Niu Bijian was very irritable, and said: "In recent years, the Keswick family has continuously reduced its stake in Jardine Matheson, and now it is only 10 points, if this person continues to increase his holdings, he will soon be able to challenge the Keswick family's position as a major shareholder, you know, the relationship between Simonke and me is very poor, and I can't give him an excuse to attack." ”

Bao Dafu was silent and silent, he was a professional manager and did not want to get involved in the struggle between the top directors

He joined Jardine Matheson at the age of 36 as a director, became a managing director at the age of 36, and succeeded Henry Keswick as chairman of the board of directors of Jardine Matheson at the age of 4l.

Simenke is the younger brother of Henrik, the former chairman of the board of directors of Jardine Matheson, and there are rumors in London that the Keswick family has appointed him as the next chairman of the board of directors of Jardine Matheson, and he is only 46 years old this year, and he is in the prime of his career, and he certainly does not want to be caught by Simenke and step down.

Niu Bijian looked at Victoria Harbour outside the glass curtain wall, and after a long while, he said, "You say, could it be Shen Chong?" ”

"Him?" Bao Dafu was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible." ”

"How could it be?" "His company is all private, the finances are not transparent, none of us know how much money he has, and this man is risk-taking," he said in a rare tone of unconfidence. ”

"No matter how rich he is, he can't make large-scale investments in the United States, the mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong at the same time." Bao Dafu said very firmly: "His investment in the United States is very transparent, and it is true that as he said, he did not take a penny of profits out of the United States." Taiwan is only an investment intention, which can be ignored now, and the key is his investment in the mainland. ”

"What's wrong with the mainland?"

According to market forecasts, the profit of the toy company will not exceed 300 million US dollars, and 300 million US dollars is exactly the construction cost of the high-rise building he wants to invest in. Bao Dafu obviously did an in-depth investigation of Shen Chong, he continued: "The banks in the mainland are very poor, the system is not perfect, there are basically no financing channels, and the land there is state-owned, whether it is Hong Kong or the United States, no bank will take the risk to provide him with loans, so Shen Chong must prepare enough cash to build the tallest building in Asia, I have dealt with mainland officials, they are very sensitive, and they also attach great importance to reputation, if Shen Chong puts money into the stock market, once he is trapped, he can't afford to build a building, He will be seen as a liar by the mainland, and he will lose a lot of political resources, and I don't think that as a businessman with close ties to the mainland government, he will not take that risk. ”

After he finished explaining the reason, he said with a smile: "Mr. Niu Bijian, it is impossible for Shen Chong not to be a conductor in Hong Kong for this kind of big business with an investment of hundreds of millions, and we all know that he has been accompanying his movie star girlfriend in Taiwan recently. ”

Hearing this, Niu Bijian thought about it, his expression slowly relaxed, and said, "Maybe you're right, I've been under a lot of pressure lately and I'm too sensitive. ”

"Through HSBC's Torioli Investment Company, we have acquired about UU of shares of Jardine Matheson from several securities companies at prices ranging from 19 yuan to block, plus more than 100,000 shares absorbed from the stock market, and the total number of shares currently on hand probably accounts for about about the total shares of Jardine Matheson."

Shen Chong sat in the office of Oriental charm, looking at the numbers on the whiteboard, he felt a little dizzy, so he asked the result directly and said, "How much money is shared?" ”

"More than 470 million." Yuan Tianfan reported: "There is still a balance of about 320 million in the capital pool. ”

"It's a lot lower than the previously expected cost, and it's done well." Shen Chong praised and asked, "Then what is the plan next?" ”

"I've prepared two plans." Yuan Tianfan pushed over the two folders, one red and one blue, and said: "The red one, be a little more radical, Chengyi and foreign companies have not yet reacted, as soon as the market opens tomorrow, it will immediately absorb stocks on a large scale, and strive to increase the shares to 10 in the shortest possible time, of course, the cost will be relatively large." The blue one, a little milder, will not only not absorb stocks tomorrow, but will release some of them, creating the illusion of market volatility and downward movement, confusing Jardine Matheson, and then slowly absorbing stocks, which will take a long time, but the cost is lower. ”

Shen Chong didn't flip through the folder, but asked Li Kaiyuan: "What do you think?" ”

"I like the first option." Li Kaiyuan was not as casual as Shen Chong, she stared at the whiteboard for a while, and said: "But the remaining more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, I'm afraid it is not enough to pose a threat to Jardine Matheson, and the second plan can help you buy a few more days to raise funds." ”

"I'm leaning towards the second option, too." Yuan Tianfan explained: "Mr. Shen owns Hong Kong Economic Journal, Far Eastern Economic Review, and Oriental Weekly, all of which are authoritative publications in Hong Kong's financial circles, and they can be used to release fake news and sway public opinion, which will be more confusing." ”

"That's not good." Shen Chong categorically vetoed it and said: "You can't compromise the general righteousness because of small profits, the principle of freedom of the press and press neutrality must still be observed, otherwise the matter will spread out, and the image of the entire oriental charm will be ruined, and once the reputation of authority falls, it will be extremely difficult to rise again." Wait, I'll make a phone call first. ”

He picked up the microphone, did not go through the secretary, but personally dialed Bao Yugang's phone, and after speaking a few words, he put down the phone and said: "Use the first set of plans, a quick solution, I will take Wharf's shares as collateral, Bao Yugang as a guarantor, and borrow 800 million Hong Kong dollars from HSBC tomorrow." ”
