"We need to think about it." Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda glanced at each other and said, they have never had such an idea, now if you trade on such conditions, you must first think about whether to do it or not, if you do it, what industry to choose, of course, the probability is still real estate, after it is settled, it will involve some specific conditions, etc., and they cannot decide now.

"Simon Keswick's shareholder meeting, when is it?" Chen Zhiwen asked, originally thought that he needed to kill Zhidi and then clean up the body, but if he had the help of Niu Bijian, it might be much simpler, if he could really succeed, then it would not be a problem to pay a little benefit to the other party, after all, if Hongkong Land was really forced to collapse the capital chain, then after he took over in the future, he might need to spend more than a billion or more to clean up the mess, although with the future value of Hongkong Land, this money is nothing, it may not be used, it can be convenient, it is convenient, And this is also better for the reputation of Hisense Bank,No matter what the reason,The history of forcing their customers to death,It will always make others feel resigned。

Of course, this process is still right, if it weren't for Hisense Bank trying to dig such a big hole for Hongkong Land, then even if Niu Bijian faces the Keswick family, he may not be willing to fall to himself, so to speak, this is inevitable and accidental success, it must be in his own inevitable, and chance is the variable factor of people like Niu Bijian. Whoever is in charge of the acquisition can't predict everything, only make a rough plan, and right now, everything is moving in their favor.

"It's almost the Chinese New Year, and many of Jardine Land shareholders are still overseas, so the time is three weeks later." Niu Bijian said that Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land have different shareholder groups, but this time Simon Keswick is going to be held together, which is actually a headache for Niu Bijian before, Yi Zhi mutual control, if he can control the situation, it is indestructible, but if he has a problem, the Keswick family, the majority shareholder of Jardine Matheson, has an advantage, once he wins any of them, then the other one wins.

"Okay, you'd better reply to us within 7 days, after you agree, we also need to negotiate some conditions, so that it can be decided within 20 days." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

"Okay, I'll get back to you as soon as possible." Niu Bijian said.

Subsequently, the few people talked about Jardine Land again, and the two of them said goodbye and left.

"Chen Sheng, if we really operate like this, we have a great chance of success." Huo Jianning, who had not spoken, said.

"This is really the best way to convince a small group of shareholders, plus our stakes, to easily beat the Keswick family, and with the success of our group in Hong Kong, other shareholders including bond banks should support us." Zhou Jiayang also said with a smile. Several large companies in the entire group have spent a lot of money in preparation for the acquisition of Hongkong Land in recent years, and they originally thought it would be a bloody battle, but they didn't expect that with the cooperation of the top level of the other party, things would be much easier to do.

"That's right, but the Keswicks aren't vegetarians either." Chen Zhiwen paused and said: "So we must not use people like Niu Bijian, forget if they don't have the ability, and still do this kind of thing, but since it is valuable, let's give some benefits, if they set up a real estate company in the future, they can give them a little loan without collateral, low interest, etc., what kind of development can be up to them." ”

In fact, Chen Zhiwen knows that there is a high probability that these two people will not be able to develop, and people who work in large companies to the top will always have an illusion that they are capable, not with the help of the company's platform, so many people come out to start a business, and the result is miserable.

However, considering that the Hong Kong real estate market will be in an explosive state in the next ten years, it is difficult to make money without making money in the case of capital and direction, but it is difficult to say what it can develop.

"Well, that's not a problem, just give them a little benefit, and we won't have anything to lose." Huo Jianning nodded and said, no matter how good the discount is, the bank will not lose money, at most it will not make money, unless the lender is bankrupt, then there is no way.

On February 2, Hong Kong ushered in the Spring Festival of 1984.

Before this, Niu Bijian personally met with Huo Jianning and agreed to the conditions proposed by Chen Zhiwen at the beginning, and the follow-up detailed requirements entered a very short negotiation stage.

In the end, after a few days of negotiations during the Chinese New Year, Huo Jianning promised to give a total of HK$150 million in unsecured low-interest loans to the new companies of Niubijian and Bao Fuda in the future, and at the same time, they also obtained the priority of cooperating with Hutchison to develop two plots of land.

February 10th.

Hisense Bank Headquarters Building.

"Jianning, it's hard work, I still need to have a meeting with Niu Bijian to negotiate during the Chinese New Year." After Chen Zhiwen saw the cooperation document, he said with a smile. ，

"Chen Sheng is polite, this is how it should be, in fact, it's nothing, but it's just to discuss the loan amount, in fact, compared to the benefits they can bring us, 150 million or 300 million is far behind, I just pressed them by the way." Huo Jianning smiled and said.

"Okay, then wait for Niu Bijian's move at the shareholder meeting, and let our people get ready." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

"No problem." Huo Jianning agreed.

It was February 15, the day when Culture Oriental Hotel held a shareholders' meeting of Jardine Matheson and Land, Hong Kong's largest British-owned consortium.

Those who can participate in this meeting are at least those who hold more than one million Hong Kong dollars, and the others, called shareholders, are not qualified to participate, and can only wait for news outside.

Hundreds of investors or representatives from all over the world were invited into the venue after identity checks, and in addition to shareholders, senior executives of the Jardine Matheson family and reporters from some important media were also invited.

"It seems that Simon Keswick is trying to make a big deal out of it." Niu Bijian looked at so many reporters and said coldly, just after signing a cooperation agreement with Chen Zhiwen, Niu Bijian rejected Simon Keswick's million-dollar severance pay, what are you kidding? On the one hand, there is a low-interest loan of 150 million Hong Kong dollars that does not need collateral, and on the other hand, there is about 8 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, only some people who dare not do business will choose the latter, as long as they have a little business experience, they all know the value of the former, not to mention that they can also cooperate with Hutchison two pieces of land worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and so on Hong Kong's economic recovery, these two pieces of land themselves make money is secondary, and making a name for themselves is what the new company needs most.

"It's natural, it's just that they can't think of our back road." Bao Fuda said calmly, although they think in their hearts that Jardine does not belong to Keswick, but no matter what, they will sell Jardine Land to Chen Zhiwen today, and they will inevitably be regarded by outsiders as internal ghosts, that is, they basically cut off the possibility of working for others again.

Originally, I was expecting to continue to work under the Hongkong Land acquired by Chen Zhiwen, but I was rejected, but if I can use Hisense Bank and Hutchison to do my own business, it is also a good choice. Anyway, if they are driven away by Keswick, they can basically only retire, that is, no matter how they choose, for them, they will not be better than being slaughtered.

"It's going to start, let's get ready to play." Niu Bijian said.

"yes, okay." Bao Fuda responded.

Soon, the general meeting of shareholders was officially convened, and the first thing to do was to announce the company's operating conditions for the previous year.

"The loss is HK$2.3 billion, the current total debt is HK$21.4 billion, and the short-term debt is HK$4.7 billion." After the report of a senior financial officer was completed, Simon Keswick said coldly to Niu Bijian under the microphone: "Niu Bijian, you are really powerful, and it is estimated that the entire Commonwealth will not find a few companies with such heavy debts." ”

"Hong Kong's financial crisis is something that no one can predict." Niu Bijian replied with a light expression, although there is a reason, but it is indeed not a glorious thing, he is embarrassed to be said in front of so many shareholders and the media, but if he wants to succeed, he must first accept patience, if it were not for the sake of cooperating with Chen Zhiwen, he would have run away with a million dollars.

"The financial crisis does exist, but why is Hutchison not in debt, why is Swire not in debt? Niu Bijian, as the head of the company, don't you dare to stand up and admit responsibility? Simon Keswick asked, before Niu Bijian refused his kind severance pay, which made him really angry, to run the company like this, and to be embarrassed to rely on it, it is simply shameless.

"Of course I have the responsibility." "But the most important thing now is to solve the company's current debt problem, and only by saving the company first can there be accountability, otherwise the company will go bankrupt and everyone present will lose a lot," Niu said. ”

Simon Keswick said coldly: "Why, you still want to solve the company's debt problem, but if you have any way, Jardine Land will not develop to this point." ”

"I naturally have the solution, and after solving the problem of Jardine Land, I will resign immediately, and this is my responsibility." Niu Bijian said loudly into the microphone. After signing a contract with Hisense and Yellow,His mentality is stable,Anyway, it's all leaving,It's better to be happy at the shareholders' meeting,In this way,At least most people who don't know the specific situation,Will think that he resigned voluntarily,And he is still a responsible person。

"What do you mean?" Simon Keswick frowned and said, he refused to ask for a million-dollar severance pay before, but now he wants to leave on his own initiative, this is definitely not the style of Niu Bijian, or rather, it is not the style of any old fox in the mall, there must be some conspiracy in it.

I saw that Niu Bijian replied to him, but continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, now Hongkong Land is facing the problem of being called on by many banks, and the capital chain has been in a state of collapse, which is similar to the situation of Hutchison back then, and the only way to solve this problem is to introduce greater capital, so I suggest that a share increase financing be carried out externally to obtain sufficient funds and foreign aid." ”

"Who do you want to give a share to?" Simon Keswick had a bad idea in his mind.

"The richest man in Hong Kong." Niu Bijian said lightly: "Chen Zhiwen." ”
