Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Without waiting for Li Guowei to think about it, Yang Chen continued: "Next, with Manager Zheng, I hope Mr. Li can help out. There are some things that need to be done by Mr. Li."
Zheng Haiquan and others have no problem dealing with the Jardine Group in the stock market, but they have to deal with those Jardine shareholders and buy Jardine shares from those shareholders. People with too little seniority and insufficient connections, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete this task.
As the big boss, it is impossible for Yang Chen to go off the stage to incite hatred in person. It is always the subordinate's job to charge forward. He only needs to wave the flag behind his back and direct.
Hit a stick, and then give a sweet date. Not everyone is tolerant and doesn't care about him. In this world, the most indispensable people are stubborn people.
There will always be some people who are stubborn and will not eat hard. How did they come to burn together?
To deal with that kind of person, he asked Boss Yang to make amends and negotiate peacefully with him. Yang Chen said that he couldn't do it, and he didn't have the ability.
However, Li Guowei is different.
As the general manager of Hang Seng Bank, with Hang Seng Bank's status in Xiangjiang, there are too many people who have friendship with Li Guowei.
In addition, Li Guowei was tactful and experienced in dealing with affairs on weekdays. He was the perfect candidate for negotiating this kind of work and leaving it to the other party to solve it.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Li Guowei's eyes, but there was no hesitation in his mouth, "Chairman, don't worry, Xiangjiang will leave it to me."
Hang Seng Bank's previous sphere of influence was only Xiangjiang. This time, Boss Yang made up his mind to take action against the entire Jardine Group. In addition to being listed in Xiangjiang, Jardine Group is also listed on the London Stock Exchange.
In other words, if you want to deal with the Jardine Group, both sides must attack at the same time.
Otherwise, if only one side is attacked, Jardine will be damaged at most and will not collapse directly.
Yang Chen naturally knew this, he had already made arrangements for London, and he didn't need Li Guowei to worry about it. The British are different from the Chinese. In front of interests, favors can only be ranked second.
As long as the pros and cons are spread out, the matter can be easily resolved. Only Xiangjiang will be more troublesome. Jardine has been rooted in Xiangjiang for too long, and the interests involved involve all aspects. It is difficult to bring down the Jardine Group without extraordinary measures.
Chapter 757 In Progress
Blink of an eye to September [-]th
this day
The British side officially announced that Margaret Thatcher will soon pay a state visit to China, and the itinerary has been confirmed.
The inland side also responded to this by formally inviting British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to visit China.
Compared with the previous two governments that did not explicitly mention the Xiangjiang issue, the media of the two countries have clearly reported the intention of Mrs. Thatcher's visit to China this time.
Regarding the return of Xiangjiang, the attitudes of the two governments are clearly consistent, and there is no further evasion.
When various reports from the outside media were flying everywhere, in the chairman's office of Hang Seng Bank, after Yang Chen listened to the reports from Zheng Haiquan and Li Guowei, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.
He originally wanted Li Guowei to negotiate with some of Jardine's shareholders and let the other party sell the shares to them, but he didn't expect that few people would save face.
After the Wharf incident, Chinese capital has been secretly acquiring the shares of Jardine Group. The amount of shares held by the Chinese shareholders of Jardine Group is already second only to the Keswick family, the major shareholder of Jardine.
The actual controller of the Jardine Matheson Group has always been the Keswick family. However, since the outbreak of the oil crisis and the outbreak of the Latin American debt crisis, the Keswick family, like many European consortiums, is facing the crisis of breaking the capital chain.
The Keswick family was originally the major shareholder of Jardines. As long as there is no problem, basically no one can have an impact on Jardines. This caused an unstable situation in the control of Jardine.
Earlier in the Wharf incident, the charter king snatched Wharf from Jardine just because the Keswick family was unable to help Jardine.
This time Yang Chen is the same, and he is also planning to take advantage of the Keswick family's inability to support Jardine, and give Jardine a thunderous blow.
Huo Jianchen analyzed: "Boss, the debt pressure of the Jardine Group is unprecedentedly huge, with debts as high as tens of billions, which has broken through the bottom line of all banks. Now there is no bank in Xiangjiang that is willing to continue to lend to Jardine.
Next, as long as we sell quickly enough to lower the shares of Jardine Land, and then quickly acquire shares in the market to raise the stock price so that Jardine Group has no money to buy back the shares, then they can only do Watch us act.
At the same time, in order to prevent the Keswick family from supporting Jardines, we can launch a takeover war in London against the companies owned by the Keswick family and compete for the control of the Jardines London parent company.
In the two acquisition battles, no matter which side wins, it will have an impact on the other side. At that time, we will negotiate with those shareholders one by one. As long as we operate properly, it should not be a problem for us to acquire Jardine Land at the same time. "
"As long as we control the two companies of Jardine Land, the subsidiaries controlled by the two companies will also change their owners, and we don't need to buy them one by one.
If we attack the subsidiaries of the Jardine Group one by one, it will not only be troublesome, but also easily disperse funds.
Now we only need to concentrate our strength and attack a little, the effect will be more obvious, and it will not make too much noise and cause the governor's office to intervene. "
Yang Chen shook his head and said: "The problem now is that few of those shareholders are willing to sell their shares in Jardine. Even if we hold back the Keswick family, we may not be able to acquire more shares than them, and control Jardine Land. company."
When Huo Jian heard the words, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he didn't worry anymore, he said, "Boss, since some people don't cry when they see the coffin, then we have nothing to hesitate. I just took a look, and those who hold Shareholders of Jardine, most of them have companies in their hands.
It’s hard to say in London, but on Xiangjiang’s side, there is Hang Seng Bank. At that time, boss, you will use the channels of HSBC and Standard Chartered to launch a takeover war against the companies owned by those shareholders.
Then Mrs. Thatcher will visit China soon. If things turn out as you expected, boss, and the inland side will not make concessions, then Xiangjiang's economy will inevitably be in turmoil.
Since they are unwilling to sell, then we will acquire the shares of their companies and exchange them for shares..."
After Huo Jian finished speaking, Yuan Tianfan and Zheng Haiquan who were present did not respond, because Yang Chen had already told them before, and the two of them had already prepared in secret, waiting for boss Yang's order.
Only the corner of Li Guowei's mouth twitched visibly, and he thought to himself, "Is it because I'm getting old, or the young people nowadays are getting more and more powerful." '
It was obvious that Huo Jianxi had guessed what Boss Yang was thinking from the information in front of him, so he said it directly.
Yang Chen glanced at Huo Jianhe appreciatively. He was very satisfied with this subordinate who could see through his mind and took the initiative to take the blame for him.
Although the plan has been arranged, it is very important who will be in charge in the end and who will take the blame for him.
After all, among the people he has to deal with, there are many people he knows, such as Chartered King, who bought a part of Landmark's shares when he bought Wharf before.
Not long ago, Li Guowei intended to acquire the shares of Landmark from Chartered King, but Chartered King refused to agree, obviously because he had ideas about Landmark.
If he is in command next, what should he do when the charter king plays an emotional card with him?
He has prepared for so long, waited for so long, the opportunity is so rare, there is no room for him to miss it.
Once the financial crisis of the Keswick family is resolved, it will not be so easy to acquire the Jardine Group.
After a while, Yang Chen glanced at the four of them, and said in a deep voice: "This time, Huo Jianxie is in charge of the Xiangjiang side, and Yuan Tianfan is in charge of the London side. I won't intervene in the middle, and all of them will be directed by you.
I have only one request, that is, at least one of Jardine and Hongkong Land must be in hand. At the same time, the two companies of Heung Kong Telephone and Electric Lighting need absolute holdings. "
Absolute holding means that more than half of the shares are required.
Heung Kong Telephone is not bad. Compared with HK Electric, its market value is not very large.
But Hong Kong Electric is different. At the beginning of the year, Jardine spent nearly 30 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire Hong Kong Electric. With such a sum, it only obtained 30.00% of Hong Kong Electric's shares.
After the acquisition of the two companies, Jardine was burdened with huge debts.
Of course, the benefits are also obvious. The two companies not only increased the market value of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land, but also made the acquirers sigh.
At the same time, it also further increased investors' confidence in Jardine.
After all, apart from Jardine Matheson, other companies, such as HSBC, can compete with it for spending billions to acquire the shares of the two companies.
