Chapter 55: The 9-long warehouse purchase war is about to begin!

Press conference held by Kayla.

The news that Empire Group had just announced its purchase of additional shares in Wharf immediately shocked the reporters present.

The Imperial Group and Yang Ming have officially become famous in Xiangjiang.

However, from beginning to end, they had no idea who this Mr. Yang was and what he looked like.

. . .

Victoria Peak Villa.

Henry Keswick's house.

Henry Keswick has returned from get off work.

The housekeeper came over immediately and said, "Master, Mr. Newbijian just called and told us something big happened."

"What's the big deal?"

In the past few days, Henry Keswick has been unable to sleep well, eat well, and cannot feel at ease because he is worried about Wharf.

"Huifeng Securities just held a press conference. They will purchase an additional 27.2% of Wharf shares for Empire Group, involving 2312 million shares. Each share will be purchased at a price of 105 yuan."

What kind of company is Imperial Group?

"How come I haven't heard of this Imperial Group?"

"I just heard about it. This time the Imperial Group spent more than 49 billion to increase the share of Wharf to %, which shows that the Imperial Group has been planning for a long time."

Newbikin's side was also confused.

It took him so long to realize that the enemy was actually the Imperial Group.

It was obvious that they had missed the opportunity.

Moreover, now that the Imperial Group can come up with more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, can Jardine Land be able to come up with it?

Of course not.

"Come to see me immediately. Also, executives from Jardine and Land will come to see me immediately."

Henry Keswick hung up the phone.

Then walked around the living room.

Finally, he picked up the landline phone and called Shen Bi's villa.

Shen Bi has returned.

"Sir, it's Henry Keswick calling."

Shen Bi picked up the landline phone and answered it.

"Sir Keswick, I am Shen Bi."

"Shen Bi, what's going on with Huifeng Securities Company's purchase of additional Wharf shares for Empire Group?" His tone was a bit scolding, thinking that Shen Bi had known about it for a long time, but hadn't told him yet.

Shen Bi said: "Henry, actually I only found out in the afternoon."

"Then why is it that Huifeng Securities Company is making additional purchases on behalf of the Imperial Group?"

He simply didn't believe that Shen Bi didn't know.

"I don't know about this either." Shen Bi was too lazy to say more.

"I want to meet and talk with the boss of the Imperial Group."

Meet and talk with Yang Ming?

Shen Bi knew that was impossible!

I am afraid that Kaila even held a press conference to announce it, which means that soon, investors in Hong Kong and even around the world will know that the Imperial Group has purchased additional shares at a stock price of 105 yuan per share, and it is impossible for those investors not to sell.

In this case, what would Yang Ming and Henry Keswick have to talk about.

"Sorry, I'm not familiar with the person in charge of the Imperial Group." Shen Bi said again.

"You really can't let me meet him?"

"Henry Keswick, I'm sorry, I really can't help it."

There was a beeping sound from the landline phone, and the Shen family had hung up the phone.

Henry Keswick threw the microphone in his hand and was quickly pulled back by the phone line.

He still looked angry.

In the frightened eyes of the butler and maid, Henry Keswick picked up the cups and other things on the table and smashed them around.

Henry Keswick has always been a gentle businessman and a polite gentleman. He has basically never lost his temper in the villa. This is the first time, and it seems that he is really angry.

"Pack it up."

He also went back to his study.

Newburgh informed Jardine and Land executives immediately came to Victoria Peak Villa to meet Henry Keswick.

By the time everyone arrived, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

There were more than 20 people sitting on both sides of the dining table in the Keswick restaurant, all of whom were executives from Jardine and Land.

"Do you know that Huifeng Securities Company is purchasing additional shares for the Imperial Group?"

"Sir Keswick, we have heard."

"What's the solution?" Henry Keswick asked.

This is a long table.

Henry Keswick sat in the middle, and the others sat on both sides.

Among them, Jardine Taipan Niubijian is the second person in Jardine Land.

Bao Fuda, Executive Director and General Manager of Land.

The men looked at each other.

They already knew there was little chance of winning.

"Sir Keswick, it would be best if you could talk to the boss of the Imperial Group and ask him to give up Wharf."

Niubijian thought for a while, then stood up first and said.

Henry Keswick said: "This won't work."

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he can't, because he doesn't even know who the boss of the Imperial Group is.

"Since Imperial Group can increase purchases, we, Wharf, can also hold a press conference to increase purchases." Bao Fuda stood up and said.

As soon as he said his thoughts, Henry Keswick's eyes lit up.

He quickly added: "The Empire Group spent more than 49 billion Hong Kong dollars to purchase additional shares with real money. We now want to purchase 35% of the shares. We need to purchase 3000% of the shares, nearly 105 million shares. According to the price of 31 Hong Kong dollars per share. shares, which involves HK$5000 billion, how can we, Jardine Land, get so much money?"

In the final analysis, Jardine Land simply does not have that much liquidity. Moreover, he also felt that it was not worth spending so much money to acquire other shares of Wharf.

When many people around heard that more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars were involved, they immediately fell silent.

With such a large amount of money, I'm afraid I won't need what I am doing now.

"How about this, we use part of Land's shares to replace it, and also issue part of the bonds with a value equivalent to 105 yuan per share to replace Wharf's shares."

An executive suggested again.

Jardine Land cannot afford that much money.

However, Land is a listed company, and Land's shares are still valuable. That is to say, in addition to exchanging some Land shares, bonds are also used in exchange for Wharf shares.

On the surface, the value is 105 yuan per share, but it is simply incomparable to the 105 yuan per share of real money from the Imperial Group.

Think about it.

Everyone thinks the best solution is this.

finally.

Henry Keswick said: "Everyone, let's use this method first. If those investors are not willing to exchange Wharf stocks with us, then we can only give up Wharf as quickly as possible and sell the Wharf stocks in our hands. Exchange big money from Imperial Group.”

If no one is willing to exchange with Jardine Matheson Land, then they can only sell their Wharf shares as soon as possible to make a profit.

After all, Henry Keswick himself was greedy for 105 yuan per share, let alone other investors.

After the meeting.

Newbijian and Bao Fuda were responsible for the stock swap.

A press conference was held at the Landmark Building overnight.

At the press conference, Bao Fuda announced the news of the replacement of Wharf stocks.

In addition to being surprised, many reporters felt that Jardine Land was bound to lose.

After all, many investors prefer cash to Jardine Matheson Land's so-called swap with stocks and bonds.

When the news spread that Bao Fuda held a press conference at Landmark Building.

Even though it has not yet appeared in the newspapers, it still shocked investors in Xiangjiang.

This is bound to be a sleepless night!
