456 door-to-door chances
"New Bijian is looking for me at this time? Guess why? After Chen Zhiwen waved his hand to signal the assistant to leave, he looked at the two people beside him and asked.
"Although Niu Bijian will run Jardine Land like this, but he is not a fool, it is impossible for him not to know, our purpose is to buy land or even the entire Jardine Matheson system, or he knew about this possibility a long time ago, but he is willing to gamble, probably because he wants to gamble that the economy can be restored, so that Hongkong Land can come back to life, he came here, it is impossible to expect us not to pursue it, is it what kind of deal he wants to do?" Zhou Jiayang analyzed.
Everyone is not stupid,The idea of Landmark Jardine and the top management also knows,If the economy improves,Then even if there is a problem with the loan process at the beginning,It won't be a big deal,Even if you can't afford it at the time,As long as you can in the future,That is the rise of the credit line,In this way,Hisense can't force the land to death anymore,This is like today's OOCL that is also in debt crisis,If one day the Suez Canal is suddenly closed again,Shipping prices have risen sharply,It is estimated that the creditor banks that are now urging money, I will immediately take the initiative to send the money to OOCL.
As for the problem of fraudulent loans, with the energy of the Jardine system, just find a scapegoat.
The core of the death of Hongkong Land is related to debt, not "fraudulent loans". The group tried to obtain evidence of "fraudulent loans", just to justify collecting debts after Hongkong Land had used up most of the loans.
"Could it be that Newbijian wants to trade with us with part of Hongkong Land's Central Building?" Huo Jianning speculated that when they lent money before, they won a small Central Building by the way, but this is only a few tenths of Hongkong Land's total assets, and the most dazzling thing about Hongkong Land is naturally the Connaught Building and the Exchange Square under construction.
"At this point, it's no longer dead, we've all started it, how can we take a bite and go back." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said, if it was a few years ago, he might still be very interested in this kind of transaction, but now that he has the opportunity to win the entire land, how could he give up for a few buildings?
The money is mine when you die, so why would you use my money to buy me and spare you?
"Then we don't see?" Zhou Jiayang asked.
"I'll see you, I want to know what he wants to do, maybe our guess is wrong." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
Zhou Jiayang nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll arrange it." ”
The next day, in a presidential suite of the Grand Hotel, Chen Zhiwen brought Huo Jianning here, and they were met by Jardine Matheson's New Bijian and Land's Bao Fuda.
A few people are also old acquaintances, they can't be said to be competitors for so many years, but it's not much harmony, Chen Zhiwen said straight to the point: "The two of you asked us out, what are you doing?" ”
"Chen Sheng, in fact, everyone knows your purpose, and I won't spare the circle, what you want, we can help you get it." Niu Bijian said with a smile.
"How?" Chen Zhiwen asked.
"To tell Chen Sheng the truth, Simon Keswick is going to launch a board of directors and want to abolish all the current management of Jardine Matheson and Land, including me and Bao Fuda, so my idea is that at the shareholders' meeting, I will propose to introduce Chen Sheng's capital, so that it can save the current debt crisis of Hongkong Land, and Chen Sheng can also control the entire Hongkong Land, killing two birds with one stone." Niu Bijian said: "If my prediction is correct, Chen Sheng should also have a lot of shares in Hongkong Land, right? ”
The actions prepared by Simon Keswick are still secret, but once the shareholders' meeting is requested, it will be known to the whole of Hong Kong, and Chen Zhiwen can naturally be told.
"Yes, there are some, so what do you want?" Chen Zhiwen nodded and admitted.
"I still want to be the head class of Jardine Matheson, and Bao Fuda is still the head class of Land, and Jardine Land belongs to you, but in terms of management, it belongs to us." Niu Bijian said.
"It's daylight, what are you dreaming about?" Chen Zhiwen smiled lightly and said: "Jardine Land has reached this point today, it can't be said that it is all your responsibility, but at least half of it, right?" I acquired the company, to you to manage? Do you think it's possible? ”
Incompetent people, it's not wrong, recognize their own situation, that is a normal person, but there are always some people, incapable and self-righteous, Hongkong Land used to be the world's third largest real estate group, the entire Jardine Matheson branch can be singled out to beat Swire, Hutchison, Wheelock and other three major foreign firms, and now, it has become heavily indebted, almost bankrupt, such people, free work for themselves do not want.
"I thought Chen Sheng was a person who did big things, but I didn't think that I would have to give up Hongkong Land for such a small thing?" Niu Bijian said with an ugly face, although some small media often ridicule him as a "talent" and run Hongkong Land like this, although he is very annoyed, but people don't name him, he can't help it, and now it is the first time to be said in front of him, especially when he asks for someone.
"If you have to go through you to buy Landmark, I can naturally think about it, but you tell me a way that I can't buy Hongkong by myself?" Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.
"If Simon Keswick enters Jardine and Land, with their family's overseas resources, although it is unlikely that they will be able to pull Hongkong out of debt, they may still be able to repay Hisense's accounts, and at that time, Hisense's trick may be useless." Niu Bijian said.
"I guess I still have more than a billion Hong Kong dollars in Hongkong Land's account, right? Among them, there can only be a billion, if our debt collection goes well, that is to say, you still need to raise 5 billion Hong Kong dollars for me, I don't believe it, the Keswick family will have this ability? Chen Zhiwen said.
At present, the whole world, can have 100 million US dollars are considered hugely rich, although the Keswick family has a long history, but there is no big industry except for Jardine, even if there are many properties, it has to be sold to change funds, it is too late in time, even if it is a loan, such a high amount, Hisense Bank was deliberately facilitating this loan, and the process has been gone for nearly 2 months.
"The Keswick family is unlikely, but I can tell you that Simon Keswick has a relationship with British capital, and it is not difficult for him to introduce British capital Jin Yihe or Land." Niu Bijian said again.
"Maybe, but how many British capitalists are willing to come to Hong Kong? They can't run even if they want to. Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile, in the original history, even after 85 years, British capital began to withdraw from Hong Kong on a large scale, Jardine Matheson changed its registered address, re-listed in the United Kingdom, sold a large number of properties in Hong Kong, large-scale investment in Southeast Asia, etc., other British capital is even more unlikely to enter Hong Kong at this time, otherwise, the original Jardine Matheson would not have to sell Hong Kong Electric to Li Jiacheng.
"Chen Sheng is willing to gamble? Don't want to work with me? You know, if I help you, the probability of success will be much higher, and the time will be short. Niu Bijian said with a dark face, he has already lowered his voice like this now, and he can't imagine that Chen Zhiwen still doesn't take him seriously.
"If you can help me, and if you can succeed as you say, then I can also give you great benefits, such as cash, property in Hong Kong, or property anywhere in the world in the United Kingdom and the United States, but if you want to be a senior at Jardine Land, that's not possible." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said. Although Hongkong Land in the future will be a rent-collecting company, the funds involved are also tens of billions, and if it involves the sale or purchase of buildings, tens of billions are normal, how can he manage such a person.
And as a world-class billionaire, his external image is also a promise, once he says something, he must implement it, otherwise it will become a trust trouble in the future.
"Then forget it, we're not bad for money." Niu Bijian said coldly.
"Wait." Chen Zhiwen said: "Since you also have money and many years of experience in shopping malls, why are you obsessed with working for others? Ever thought about starting your own business? ”
"Let's start our own business?" Niu Bijian was stunned, to be honest, he really didn't think that he could be said to be the top consortium in Hong Kong in Jardine Matheson, if it weren't for the appearance of Chen Zhiwen, then he could definitely be said to be calling for wind and rain, although the market value and influence of Hong Kong's quasi-central bank HSBC is greater than that of Jardine, but also because it is a "quasi-central bank", then a lot of commercial investment can not be done, so that the influence in the capital market, who is bigger and who is still difficult to say.
They themselves have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, but if this wealth is used to open a company, it will be a drop in the bucket, and it is estimated that all of them can only buy a small property in Hong Kong, and then compared with the former Landmark Jardine Matheson, the social status is simply impossible to talk about.
This is actually the reason why many professional managers do not start a business, and the other is that running a large company that has been formed is not the same thing as starting from scratch.
"Yes, I can support your business? For example, if you do real estate, I can arrange Hisense Bank to give you a certain preferential loan, but, in terms of finance, you can't play like last time, or you want to do some other industries, I can help a lot of places, not to mention how big it is, but the total scale is easy to hundreds of millions, as for what will happen in the future, it still depends on your ability. Chen Zhiwen said again.
To be honest, Chen Zhiwen looked down on the two in front of him a little, first in order to keep his position, regardless of the life and death of his company, and now in order to keep his position, he wants to sell his company, of course, it is difficult to say whether Jardine is the Keswick family, after all, nominally, he is already the largest shareholder, but no one knows.
But what Niu Bijian said is also true, no matter what, he is still the actual controller of the Jardine Matheson department, has a very large network and influence within the Jardine Matheson, and knows many shareholders very well, if he helps internally, it can not only reduce the cost of his own acquisition, but also smooth handover in the future.
In particular, Chen Zhiwen's main target was originally Land, and when launching a forced acquisition, it was still a little difficult for Jardine Macorp to start, but with the help of Niu Bijian, the entire Jardine Matheson could also be swallowed at one time.
In terms of assets, Jardine Matheson is not as good as Hongkong Land, but its business diversification and future potential are much stronger.
It's a rare opportunity to be delivered to your door like this.
