Chapter 181 The Yosek family has no money! Henry Joseph and Newbill

How to deal with it?

Last time, the Imperial Group made a sneak attack on Wharf and purchased additional Wharf shares at a high price. Jardine Matheson Land also offered the same high price, hoping to purchase additional shares and bonds.

How could this possibly make Empire Group's cash addition attractive?

Jardine Land naturally lost miserably.

In fact, Jardine Matheson Land was the first to run away and directly sold all Wharf shares to Imperial Group.

In that case.

The Imperial Group spent more than HK$2 billion on additional purchases of Wharf, but Jardine Matheson Land could not afford it.

Now let Keswick and Niu Bijian get HK$156 billion. Where can they get it?

Even if it costs money.

The money didn't just appear out of thin air.

In Xiangjiang, you can either borrow money from Huifeng Bank or Zhata Bank.

Borrowing money requires collateral and even high interest rates.

The Yosek family and Niu Bijian have something worth HK$156 billion to mortgage to Huifeng Bank and Zada Bank.

Even if there are corresponding mortgages, Huifeng Bank and Zada Bank may not necessarily give them loans.

In other words, borrowing from a bank may not be feasible at all.

Unless they immediately go to Europe and the United States to borrow money from large European consortiums or even the Bank of England.

The conditions for borrowing money from these large consortiums or the Bank of England are probably even more stringent.

Historically, Hutchison International's chief executive Qi Dezun had no choice but to borrow money from Hutchison Whampoa because Hutchison Whampoa suffered serious losses under his management.

In the end, Hutchison Whampoa became the majority shareholder of Hutchison International through a loan, which later led to the sale of Huifeng Bank's shares in Hutchison International to Imperial Group.

These methods are not feasible in the eyes of Joseph and Niubijian.

Borrowing money from large consortiums and banks takes a lot of time.

The most important thing is that the Imperial Group does not give them more time to prepare.

It’s hard for them to raise so much money in such a short period of time?

156 billion Hong Kong dollars?

How much is this!

Henry Keswick and Niu Bijian couldn't believe it.

Imperial Group can spend money to acquire it.

Henry Keswick can't do it any time soon.

"Niu Bijian, you are the top class, how do you solve this problem?"

"I can't think of it either."

Niu Bijian said with a headache.

"Bao Fuda, what about you?"

Niu Bijian couldn't think of it himself and looked at Bao Fuda aside.

Bao Fuda had a terrible headache.

Think about it.

All we can say is: "Sir Joseph, Chairman, now we can only ask for peace from the Imperial Group."

Seeking peace?

How can this be?

Will the Imperial Group let them go?

This is how the law stipulates here in Xiangjiang.

Whoever has the most shares is the major shareholder and controls the company.

Imperial Group is already the major shareholder of Jardine Matheson and Heungkong Land. Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, Mr. Yang is already a director of Jardine Matheson and Heungkong Land respectively.

In fact, Mr. Yang can directly compete with Niu Bijian, a senior classmate, for a position.

Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group did not do that. Instead, he directly swallowed up Jardine Land through additional purchases at high prices, without giving the Yosek family a chance at all.

In other words, summation?

It just doesn't work anymore.

Markets are like battlefields.

At this point, now is the battlefield.

The imperial group has already launched weapons, but they still want to sue for peace?

"Sir Josek, Chairman, we cannot directly sue for peace. However, someone can."

"Who?"

"Mr. Mai Lihao, the Governor of Hong Kong, and Mr. Shen Bi, the chairman of Huifeng Bank."

Governor Maliho?

Both Yosek and Niubijian's eyes lit up.

However, when they heard about Shen Bi, the chairman of Huifeng Bank, their expressions turned bad.

In the first half of the year, Shen Bi also sold the shares of Hutchison International, the second largest foreign bank in Hong Kong, to Imperial Group at a low price. Not only that, he also allowed Imperial Group to invest in Huifeng Bank and become Huifeng Bank's major shareholder.

In their opinion, Mr. Yang was about to wear a pair of pants with Shen Bi. How could Shen Bi mediate for them?

Joseph Henry remembered the last time the Wharf was attacked by the Imperial Group. He remembered clearly that Shen Bi didn't want to pay attention to it at all.

Now that the Imperial Group wants to swallow up Jardine Land, it is even less likely to come forward.

When there was no other way, Henry Yosek still said: "In this case, Niu Bijian and I will immediately go to the Governor's Mansion to see Mr. Mailihao, Bao Fuda, and Qi will go to see Shen Bi on our behalf."

"Yes."

Baofuda said.

Henry Yosek and Niu Bijian got into the car, and Henry Yosek's dedicated driver immediately drove to the Governor's Mansion.

They live at Victoria Peak.

The Governor's Palace is in the Central District of Xiangjiang, not too far away.

Shen Bi, who also lives in the Victoria Peak Villa, is much closer than the Governor's Mansion.

Last night, Mr. Yang specially invited him and his wife to attend the Yang family's private concert, although he didn't quite understand the songs Miss Teresa Teng sang.

Shen Yi and his wife really like that kind of environment.

In Shen Bi's opinion, gathering and getting along with Mr. Yang can deepen the relationship.

However, just half an hour ago.

Shen Bi also suddenly received many phone calls. When he finished listening to the calls, he was really confused and thought he had heard wrongly.

The Imperial Group actually wants to swallow up Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land?

He didn't know exactly how much money the Imperial Group had.

Shen Bi only knew that Imperial Group had made a lot of profits in the stock market. In addition, Huifeng & Empire, the joint investment fund between Huifeng Bank and Imperial Group, had already invested 80 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In his opinion, with HK$80 billion, it would be difficult to swallow up Jardine Land under normal circumstances.

The total market value of Jardine Matheson Land is currently around several billion Hong Kong dollars.

However, it is simply impossible for Imperial Group to swallow up Jardine Matheson Land at a normal stock price.

He also heard that the Imperial Group was planning to purchase Jardine Matheson and Heungkong Land at ten times the share price, and he felt that this was definitely possible.

This comes at a great cost.

Calculated based on ten times the stock price, the current market value of Jardine Matheson Land adds up to 61 billion, and the market value of ten times the stock price becomes HK$610 billion.

610 billion Hong Kong dollars?

What is the concept?

Even if Huifeng Bank and Imperial Group invest HK$1000 billion, it will be in installments.

It still takes five years to add up to HK$1000 billion, not one year.

In this case, Shen Bi did some calculations. According to Imperial Group's shares in Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land, if it wanted to purchase an additional 49% of the shares, it would cost HK$156 billion.

Can Imperial Group get HK$156 billion?

Shen Bi couldn't believe it.

He also knew that not all of Imperial Group's deposits were deposited in Huifeng Bank, but some were deposited in other banks, which Shen Bi and Huifeng Bank did not know.

Mr. Yang?

this person.

Shen Bi really couldn't see through it.

Shen Bi was walking around there.

It stands to reason that Jardine Matheson and Heungkong Land belong to foreign banks, and since I am a native of Country Y, I should have more affection for the people of Country Y. I should help Joseph protect British capital?

Shen Yi knew that was not the case.

Ever since he was influenced by the previous Taipan Sangda Shi, he knew that Xiangjiang was inseparable from Chinese capital.

In his opinion, whether Hong Kong has Chinese capital or British capital, they are all the same.

They are all under the administration of the Queen of Great Britain.

Like Mr. Yang, if you say he is Chinese, it is because he is a Hong Kong Chinese.

However, you want to say that he is not Chinese-owned, but British-owned. In fact, it makes sense. Yang Ming's senior executives include, except for the general manager of Empire Group, Mai Lisi, the general manager of Wharf Group, Ma Shimin, and the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa, Wei Li. Wait, they're basically all white people.

In this case, do you want to say that Yang Ming’s Imperial Group is Chinese-owned?

In his opinion, it looks more like British capital.

At this time, the housekeeper came in and said, "Sir, Mr. Bao Fuda is here."

Bao Fuda?

Land general manager?

Is he coming here at this time?

Shen Yi seemed to have guessed something.

I am afraid that Yosek and Niu Bijian are already a little sick and have to seek medical treatment in a hurry, just like the last time Wharf was acquired by the Empire Group.

"Mr. Bao Fuda, why are you here so late?"

"Mr. Shen, I am here on behalf of Sir Joseph and Mr. Niubijian."

"Let's go inside and talk."

Shen Bi took Bao Fuda to the garden.

Bao Fuda was not in the mood to look at the scenery.

"Mr. Shen, Jardine Matheson Land is the largest foreign bank in Xiangjiang. It is the hard work of British capital for many years. This time the Imperial Group attacked Jardine Matheson. It has become Jardine Matheson, the largest shareholder of Xiangjiang Land, and now it wants to swallow it up. Jardine Land, please help save Jardine Land?”

British-owned foreign firm?

Shen Bi smiled.

He seemed a little confused about this concept.

If the distinction is really so clear, why has Huifeng Bank vigorously supported Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and other Chinese capital in recent years to allow these Chinese capital to rise?

Shen Bi didn't speak.

"Sir Joseph and Mr. Niu Bijian know that they cannot borrow so much money from Huifeng Bank, but I hope you can mediate and make Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group give up his plan to swallow up Jardine Land?"

Ask him to persuade Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group to give up swallowing Jardine Land?

Why?

Why should Shen Yi be the sinner?

What's more, Shen Bi knew that he could make Mr. Yang give up with just one word?

Is that possible?

Mr. Yang is not that Li Jiacheng!

Mr. Yang developed everything with his own funds, not Huifeng Bank.

Instead, Huifeng Bank now needs to rely on Imperial Group for its investment.

"Bao Fuda, you have been the general manager of Landmark for so many years, why are you so naive?"

"Mr. Shen, me."

"Shopping malls are like battlefields. If you were Mr. Yang, would you give up the opportunity to swallow up Jardine Land?"

By this time, Bao Fuda had already reacted.
