Chapter 180 Imperial Group purchased Jardine Matheson Land at double the share price!

Imperial Group has replaced the Joseph family as the majority shareholder of Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land.

In addition, they are also preparing to gain control of Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land through additional purchases at high prices.

This is almost exactly the same as when the Imperial Group attacked Jardine Land and swallowed up Wharf.

The Imperial Group wants to acquire 49% of the shares of these two groups, which already involves 156 billion Hong Kong dollars. How can the Imperial Group have so much money?

None of those reporters could figure it out.

"I officially announce on behalf of Mr. Yang and Empire Group that Empire Group's additional purchases of Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land respectively will be registered at the Central Branch and Wanzi Branch of Hutchison Securities Company at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Among them, Hutchison Securities The Central branch of the securities company will register the shares of Jardine Matheson and Co., and the Wanzi branch of the Hutchison Securities Company will register the shares of Heungkong Land."

“Here, I would like to remind investors of Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land that the principle is first come, first served.”

Now registered at ten times the stock price, the scale is even larger than that Wharf senior purchase.

But shares are just that.

Those who can't react will no longer have such an opportunity when the Imperial Group's additional purchases are completed.

Meris had just announced the news.

The reporters present were not only shocked, but also shocked.

After they reacted, they immediately conducted an interview with Melis.

Merliss only answered a few questions about Imperial Group's additional purchases of Jardine Matheson and Heungkong Land, but did not answer any other questions.

In other words, this press conference is over.

The reporters who reacted frantically ran to the elevator, preparing to take the elevator back to catch up on manuscripts or inform others of the news that shocked the world.

Imperial Group ended its press conference in about ten minutes.

Land executive director and general manager Bao Fuda, who had returned home from get off work, was enjoying his villa at Victoria Peak when the maid at home hurried over and said: "Sir, it's your phone number."

His phone number?

Bao Fuda went into the living room.

When he picked up the phone receiver, he answered.

The news shocked him or frightened him. The phone receiver in his hand fell to the ground.

Imperial Group is already the largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson and Heungkong Land.

In addition, Imperial Group began to make additional purchases from global investors.

Imperial Group actually wants to purchase 49% of Jardine Matheson and 49% of Heung Kong Land respectively.

What Bao Fuda couldn't believe the most was that this might involve a transaction of HK$156 billion. Does Imperial Group have that much money?

Are these funds lent by Huifeng Bank to Imperial Group?

How is this possible?

Bao Fuda couldn't believe it even to death.

Now he had to drive immediately to see Yihe Taipan Niu Bijian.

Bao Fuda felt that his whole body was shaking, his hands were shaking, and he felt that he could no longer hold the steering wheel.

In this case, driving on mountain roads such as Victoria Peak is very dangerous.

Bao Fuda could only ask his wife to drive for him.

"Madam, I can't drive now. You can drive me to Mr. Niu Bijian's house yourself."

"Sir, what happened?"

"Something serious has happened."

Bao Fuda seemed to gasp and said.

Before he got out of the driver's seat and got into the back seat.

Mrs. Bao Fuda still didn't know what happened, but luckily she could drive to Niu Bijian's Peak Villa on the Peak normally.

When Bao Fuda and his wife came to Niu Bijian's house.

Fifteen minutes ago.

Niu Bijian had already received a call from someone immediately, telling him that Imperial Group was already the largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land and was purchasing additional shares of these two companies at ten times the market value.

At first, Niu Bijian thought he had heard wrongly.

Is today April Fool's Day?

No.

In his opinion.

Currently, the stock prices of Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land are not high, and their total market value is not high either.

The market value of Jardine Matheson & Co. is about HK$25 billion, and that of Heungkong Land is about HK$36 billion.

According to what the other party said, it is ten times the market value.

Then wouldn’t it mean that Jardine Matheson and Co. became HK$250 billion, and Heungkong Land became HK$360 billion.

What is this concept?

According to what the other party said, Imperial Group will purchase an additional 49% of its shares, which already involves HK$156 billion.

Will Imperial Group have that much money?

He wouldn't believe it until he died.

Next, when more and more people called him, Niu Bijian began to believe that this was probably true.

Because Imperial Group has officially held a press conference to inform investors around the world, this cannot be a joke to others.

at this time.

Only then did Niu Bijian become afraid.

Before that, the Imperial Group swallowed up Wharf and even Hutchison Whampoa.

In his opinion, the Imperial Group's takeover of Wharf was entirely due to Jardine Matheson at that time, and the Imperial Group succeeded even before he could react.

As for the Imperial Group swallowing up Hutchison Whampoa, in his opinion, except for the ulterior secret transactions between the Chairman of the Imperial Group, Mr. Yang, and the Chairman of Huifeng Bank, Shen Bi, it was completely a matter of Huifeng Bank and Shen Bi taking advantage of the deal. The shares of Hutchison International were sold to Imperial Group, and Imperial Group was able to swallow up Hutchison Whampoa.

Jardine Matheson?

Xiangjiang Land?

Does the Imperial Group have so much money to swallow up these two foreign companies?

Niu Bijian didn't believe it, but he was a little scared.

He has been looking for ways to increase his holdings in Jardine Matheson and Land.

The largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson, the Josek family, increased their shares from 10% to 18%, but the Josek family no longer had the money to make additional purchases.

So much so that Niu Bijian has been thinking of ways to control Jardine and Land without paying much price.

In fact, historically, the mutual control proposed by Niu Bijian has indeed preserved Jardine Matheson Land through cross-holding.

Now Niu Bijian has not had time to implement it.

The Imperial Group unexpectedly attacked Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land again.

Niu Bijian's expression was very ugly.

Since 1975, Niu Bijian, as the general manager of Jardine Matheson, has defeated Henry Keswick, the previous chief executive of Jardine Matheson, in the internal board of directors of Jardine Matheson. Over the years, he has also worked very hard to do his job well.

At the beginning of the year, after Jardine Matheson Land lost Wharf, the Joseph family and other shareholders began to have some opinions on Niu Bijian.

It is still not enough to shake his position in the Taipan of Jardine Land.

If the Imperial Group really swallowed up Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land, what would be his fate?

Niu Bijian couldn't believe it.

"Chairman."

Bao Fuda's voice came from outside the door.

Bao Fuda and Niu Bijian have a very close relationship.

Historically, in 1983, Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda were forced to resign after the internal management and board of directors failed.

From this point of view, Bao Fuda and Niu Bijian are indeed very close.

"Chairman, I just received a call."

Bao Fuda didn't know whether he was too anxious or nervous, and was almost speechless.

"I see."

Niu Bijian said directly.

First of all, since so many people have said this now, it must be true.

So what to do now?

After all, Niu Bijian had been working as a supervisor for many years, and he quickly calmed down.

"Inform Henry Keswick immediately."

In addition to being the fifth generation head of the Joseph family, Henry Keswick was also the chief executive of Jardine Matheson.

Even though Henry Keswick lost to Niu Bijian, Henry Keswick was still the leader and soul of Jardine Land.

Jardine Matheson Land & Company has left the Keswick family. Is it really a British-owned company?

Historically, the Keswick family also purchased it through robbery from the Jardine family.

No matter who it is, they now regard Jardine Matheson as the Keswick family's property.

After Henry Keswick no longer serves as the chief executive of Jardine Matheson, he spends most of his time enjoying life in London or other places.

Henry Keswick had many properties in Hong Kong, such as the villa on Victoria Peak.

Occasionally I come to Xiangjiang to visit.

Niu Bijian knew that Henry Keswick was at Victoria Peak Villa.

Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda did not call him to come, but took the car to see Henry Keswick in person.

When Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda took the car to Henry Keswick's Peak Villa.

Henry Keswick has just received a lot of phone calls.

These calls are all about the news that Imperial Group is already the largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson and Co., Ltd. and Xiangjiang Land. In addition, it will purchase additional shares at a high price tomorrow.

Henry Keswick couldn't believe it when he heard the news for the first time.

Purchase more than ten times the market value?

What is this concept?

Will Imperial Group have that much money?

He wouldn't believe it until he died.

More and more calls from big shots were talking about this matter, and he began to have to believe it.

"Sir Keswick." Niubijian greeted.

"I already know, and I was just about to call you to tell you to come over."

Henry Keswick took Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda into his study.

Henry Keswick didn't know whether it was because he was nervous or something else. He picked up a cigar and "burned it" and kept smoking there.

"Sir Keswick, how do you solve this problem?"
