Chapter 261 Jardine Matheson
Chapter 261 Jardine Matheson
Jiang Dedao read the purchase contract of Hongkong Land Company and found that there are many companies under Hongkong Land Company. What surprised him even more was that Hongkong Land Company also owns 42.6% of the shares of Jardine Group.
This may be a great opportunity to take the opportunity to acquire the Jardine Consortium. Jiang Dedao immediately called Wu Guangzheng: "Old Wu, I now own [-]% of the shares of Hongkong Land Company. What do you think the odds of winning the acquisition of Jardine Matheson are?!"
Wu Guangzheng was shocked and said: "Boss, are you joking?! Why didn't I hear the wind?!"
"Haha, you don't know now, you should talk about it first!"
"Okay, let me think about it..."
Wu Guangzheng estimated that he was looking at the information of Hongkong Land and Jardine, and half a minute later, he said: "Boss, Jardine Group is now controlled by the Cizek family, and the Cizek family owns 57.4% of the Jardine Group..."
"The shares owned by Hongkong Land and the shares owned by the Cizek family are already 100%. Does this mean that the Jardine Group is not a listed company?!"
"It was the same in the first two months, but because the Chinese consortium headed by Li Bancheng conspired to acquire the Jardine Group, Henry Keswick, the fifth generation helm of the Cizek family, repelled their acquisition, in order to seal the cross-shareholding The shortcomings of the Jardine Group have been privatized first."
"...It seems that the time has passed!"
"Yes, but the boss has become the second largest shareholder of the Jardine Matheson Consortium. There will be many opportunities to gain control of the Jardine Matheson Consortium in the future. The most important thing now is to get the remaining [-]% of the equity of Land, which is all in the stock market. Here, what you need now is a tender offer!"
"Well, I leave this matter to you! I'm still in Bali, I hope you have completed this matter when I go back!"
"Good boss, I will do my best!"
……
Half an hour later, a call came in, and the caller was Henry Keswick, the fifth-generation helm of the Cizek family: "Jiang Sheng, according to the agreement, you are not allowed to make an offer to buy the remaining [-]% of Hongkong Land, otherwise I will not I will sell you the shares of Land Company!"
"..."
Jiang Dedao didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, so he secretly read the land purchase contract. In fact, the land purchase contract was [-] centimeters thick. He just glanced at it briefly, but he didn't expect such an agreement in it.
But it makes sense when you think about it. Jardine Matheson Group was originally the major shareholder of Landmark, owning [-]% of the shares of Landmark. This did not include the shares of Landmark held by other related companies. The system was completely purchased from the Sizek family.
Henry Keswick is the person in charge, and it is reasonable to have such an agreement.
"Well, my subordinates did this. I didn't know it beforehand. Now that I see the terms, I will ask my subordinates to stop the acquisition, but the acquired shares will not be sold!"
"It's okay! Just this one time!"
"OK!"
"Jiang Sheng, you are now the second largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson Group. In a few days, Jardine Harmony Group will hold a general meeting of shareholders. Please spare time to attend!"
"This... I have time to go back!"
"...OK, I'll be waiting for you then!!"
……
Jiang Dedao hung up, and called Wu Guangzheng again, telling Wu Guangzheng to stop the acquisition.
At this time, Wu Guangzheng had already acquired 2% of the shares of Hongkong Land, plus the previous 72% of the shares, a total of [-]% of the shares.
The acquisition incident came to an end, Feng Xiaohua, the president of Hongkong Land Group, who was also the manager the system helped find, called: "Boss, I have stabilized the situation of Hongkong Land, but there was an explosion a few days ago, and someone has already claimed responsibility for it, and To extort 1000 million from the company, I discussed it with several high-level officials and called the chief of the police yesterday, who said that he will solve the case in the shortest possible time!"
Jiang De said: "Well, I understand, is there anything else?!"
Feng Xiaohua: "Boss, I just found out that Hongkong Land's stock price has skyrocketed, which is not normal!" '
"Oh, I asked Wu Guangzheng to buy some stocks!"
"It turned out to be President Wu of Wheelock & Co., so I can rest assured that it doesn't matter if I take [-]% of the shares!"
"Wait, [-]% of the shares? Wu Guangzheng told me just now that he only received [-]% of the shares!"
"...It's broken, and there are other people secretly messing up the situation! I'll check it out right away, and then I'll call you!"
Feng Xiaohua investigated, and called Jiang Dedao half an hour later: "Boss, I found out that the Chinese consortium headed by Li Bancheng is buying Hongkong Land shares! Moreover, rumors of the bombing are flooding the newspapers. I have already started crisis public relations!"
Jiang Dedao frowned and asked, "Old Feng, do you think Li Bancheng and the others know that I have acquired [-]% of Landmark's shares?!"
"I think I should know that Li Bancheng may have done this to push up the stock price, sell at a high price, and harvest the wool of retail investors, so as to make a quick profit! At that time, the stock price will plummet, which will be extremely unfavorable to us. I am afraid that those retail investors who do not know the truth will have to buy a lot of money. Take your anger out on the company!"
"Hmph! This Li Bancheng is really insidious!"
"Boss, shall we fight back?!"
"Of course we have to fight back, but don't worry about it for the time being. When I get the bombing done in the shortest possible time, they have no basis for rumors, and they will collapse without fighting!"
"The boss is right, this is indeed a good way!"
……
At this time, Salina walked in, Jiang Dedao turned his head to take a look, and hung up the phone without telling Feng Xiaohua.
Salena asked curiously: "Husband, I just heard you mention Land, is there any bad news?! Is there another bombing?!"
"No, I just bought [-]% of Landmark's shares!"
"What!? Husband, you are really amazing! It turns out that you really didn't just talk about it last time! By the way, hubby, can I go to buy land to work?! Okay!"
Salina took Jiang Dedao's arm and said coquettishly.
Jiang Dedao laughed and said: "Your appetite is not small. Landmark is the flagship company of Jardine Matheson and the largest owner of Central. It also indirectly holds 42.6% of the shares of Jardine Matheson, which is not much worse than Wheelock!"
Salina laughed and said: "I didn't expect Landmark to be so huge, I think I'd better forget about it! Be my vice president honestly!"
Jiang Dedao said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to be disappointed. When I get back from Bali, I'll take you to buy land. It's impossible to give you all of it, but it's okay to give you a small piece!"
Salina rolled her eyes and asked, "Then if I unite with a few sisters, can I be in charge of Landmark together?!"
Jiang Dedao was stunned, nodded and said: "This is a good way, but my women basically have their own property!"
"Hee hee, don't you have the stewardess you hooked up with last night?!"
"...you were so sleepy that you actually knew?!"
"Hmph! I saw her deliberately seduce you on the plane. Just now I saw her come out from the next door outside, so I knew she had succeeded!"
"...Well, you are right. If you think she is suitable, you can count her as one, but I have to be equal. The two of you are far from enough to control Hongkong Land Company, let alone [-]% of Jardine Group. Too many shares!"
