Chapter 1278 Preliminary Negotiations!

In his previous life, Yin Jun still had a lot of understanding of the basic situation in Xiangjiang.

The most famous Jardine Matheson and Land Company, as well as the Land Company, are naturally unavoidable.

Land companies, in particular, have built many high-end commercial buildings in the mainland one after another, and they are very famous.

When looking at the Land Company's information, Yin Jun saw the man Niu Bijian who once suppressed Li Chaoru and made him breathless, and thus got a rough idea of ​​his life history.

This man is indeed a very outstanding talent. Because he was born in Jinwei, he is proficient in Chinese and has a good understanding of the situation in China.

Although he has the pride and look down upon others common to British people, he is still very good in the management of the company, otherwise Jardine Matheson would not have been able to move forward firmly for so long under his leadership.

After gathering his thoughts, Yin Jun began to think of the information in his memory about the current situation of Yihe Matheson.

In today's era, any financial group will have a certain amount of debts.

Apple's cash flow of more than 300 billion US dollars is a very exceptional example, and it is an example in the Internet era, so let's not talk about it for now.

Among groups engaged in the real economy, it is certainly impossible to use their own funds for development. This will miss many opportunities.

So they usually solve the problem through loans and borrowing money, and then there is debt, which is also commonly known as the debt ratio.

Generally speaking, if the debt ratio reaches more than 50%, the company appears to be very dangerous.

Jardine Matheson's debt ratio is only 20%, which is nothing.

The problem is that banks are reducing funds everywhere now, and HSBC also needs to take care of those financial companies and banks that are about to fail. It is simply impossible to spend so much money to give to Jardine Matheson, which can only use real estate as collateral - if Yin Jun only has Real estate was used as collateral. No matter how optimistic Shen Bi was about him, he would not dare to lend him any amount of money.

In fact, the biggest problem is not external forces, but internal to Jardine Matheson.

In the past two years, Chinese-funded enterprises such as Charter King have flourished, and consortiums from Japan and South Korea are also eyeing companies in Xiangjiang.

In order to prevent his companies from being acquired, New Bijian came up with what he thought was an excellent method.

He implemented a shareholding restructuring.

The core of the shareholding structure reorganization is that Jardine Matheson and Land Corporation hold mutual holdings.

Land Company is a listed company, and Jardine Matheson & Co. holds the advantageous equity of Land Company, but it cannot be said that Land Company belongs to Jardine Matheson 100%.

In this case, New Bijian decided to put an end to the crisis.

He asked Jardine Matheson Holdings and Jardine Securities to come forward, and together they controlled about 40% of the shares of Land.

Two companies, Jardine Securities and Land, then control about 40% of Jardine Holdings.

Through this mutual exchange of equity and control, these three companies are tightly intertwined, like a "chain ship". If you want to move one of the companies, you have to face three companies. The amount of money and energy you have to spend must be exaggerated. Several times, very difficult.

The chain link is a very stable defense method. It plays a good role in preventing foreign invasion, but it also has major shortcomings.

That is, the three of them hold each other's shares. This share is of no use at all, so a large amount of funds are frozen and cannot be used.

This is an important reason for Jardine Matheson's lack of funds.

So much so that even the largest company in Xiangjiang, with more than one billion in capital, had to rack its brains to find a solution, and it had to reach the point where it had to sell its property to maintain its operations.

The group of people in the UK were also dissatisfied with New Bijian for this reason.

Damn it!

Our dignified Jardine Consortium is actually going to be in such an embarrassing situation and go on passive defense?

It's good now. A good group company has been made such a mess by you. Are you getting old and can't do it anymore?

When such words were heard, Niu Bijian naturally became more anxious.

Otherwise, he would not argue with Dadong Telegraph Bureau at all, let alone Yin Junlai's acquisition of Xiangjiang Telephone Company.

Niu Bijian knew that Yin Jun had a good vision and which company he valued must have good development prospects.

So after getting the information that Yin Jun wanted to talk about, he immediately reported to the British side, saying that Xiangjiang Telephone Company was so good that I wanted to put it down and wait before selling it.

The result is still inconsistent.

The reply over there was, the company is so short of money now, if you let this scapegoat go, when will you get the funds you need?

Besides, although Yin Jun is powerful, is he a god? Whatever business you do, you will make a lot of money and you won’t lose money? Are there such people in this world?

Niu Bijian was speechless.

In the end, even he himself did not expect that Yin Jun's appetite was so big. He not only wanted the Xiangjiang Telephone Company, but also wanted the larger Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company.

Adding up to a big deal of more than 4 billion, Niu Bijian was really moved.

Moreover, this was proposed by Yin Jun himself. If he comes to buy it, isn't that the best person to be ripped off?

While Yin Jun was still reviewing his information, Niu Bijian, who had been thinking about it for a long time, couldn't wait to speak, "How do you want to buy it? I can tell you that I will never sell Xiangjiang Electric Light. ! If you look at the Kadoorie family, you will know how great the development prospects of Heung Kong Electric are! This is one of Land's most valuable assets!"

"hehe."

Yin Jun smiled, ignored his boasting, and asked directly: "Mr. Taipan, you have such an idea. But let me ask you, those people in the UK, besides Apart from being interested in real estate in Xiangjiang, are they willing to engage in the real economy honestly and down-to-earth? Do they have the patience?"

Niu Bijian was speechless.

He wanted to refute Yin Jun, but as he spoke, he thought of the faces of the controlling families in the UK and sighed sadly.

The group of people in the UK are not in Xiangjiang, so they do not understand the specific situation of Xiangjiang at all, and they will not have a rooted and developed feeling for Xiangjiang.

They just use the Xiangjiang part of Jardine Matheson as a tool for their investment in foreign countries, as a cash cow and a cash machine.

Therefore, land sales and real estate sales, which are simple and crude businesses that can make money quickly, are most suitable for their ideas.

In fact, Niu Bijian was like this before, but as he worked in Xiangjiang for longer and longer, he became more and more affectionate about Xiangjiang, and the more he wanted to develop Jardine Matheson better, let it take root in Xiangjiang, and Hong Kong develops and grows together.

It is a pity that none of the controlling shareholders think so, and he alone is powerless.

"But in any case, Heung Kong Electric is definitely much better than Heung Kong Telephone. It is responsible for the electricity supply of the entire Hong Kong Island. Compared with China Electric Power, which is only responsible for the New Territories and Kowloon, it has a much brighter future." New Bikin said, " Although it is an economic disaster now, people have to live, right? Electricity is the need of everyone and every company, and Xiangjiang Electric Light has great development potential!"

"Haha, why don't you say that Xiangjiang Electric is a public company, and it has the strictest regulations on price increases and profit levels?" Yin Jun retorted, "I have a Kowloon bus in my hands. The hardships involved , I feel it more than you!"

Nu Bijian was stunned for a moment. He really forgot about the Kowloon bus in Yin Jun's hand.

There is really no way to change the 15% profit level red line.

If this item is stuck, no matter how good your Xiangjiang Electric Lighting is, you will not be able to sell it at a high price.

"In terms of price, what do you think about it?" Niubi Nuo decisively chose to change the subject.

"Pack the two together." Yin Jun said, "What do you think of HK$4.2 billion?"

"No!" Niu Bijian shook his head decisively, "It's too low."

"I'm already very kind, okay?" Yin Jun said helplessly, "Go to Quanxiangjiang and ask, who else besides me can come up with so much cash in one go?"

Niu Bijian couldn't help it anymore, "Where did you get so much cash? Didn't you lend all your money to Xiangjiang Commercial Bank?"

He thought to himself that if HSBC gave Yin Jun a loan, he would then scold Shen Bi for being such a jerk.

Yin Jun is naturally very smart, "I used the Saint Seiya doll as collateral to get a loan from Sumitomo Bank. It is estimated that there will be preliminary results in the next two days."

Nodding, Niu Bijian was thoughtful, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel jealous.

Yin Jun is really a genius who can make toys with a scale of 7 to 8 billion US dollars.

"When I do big business, I never like to procrastinate. I hope you are such a cheerful person, Mr. Taipan." Yin Jun said, "You also know that it is not easy to find money at this time. My last bid, 4.4 billion! You only lost 200 million. If you can’t accept this result, then I can only give up.”

Nu Bijian's mouth moved, intending to raise the price again, but seeing Yin Jun's eyes, he still hesitated.

He was really afraid that Yin Jun would give up if the price was not right.

Although he feels that Yin Jun is not a person who likes to give up, but who can guarantee it?

If Yin Jun really doesn't buy it, then he should cry.

After a moment, he said with some difficulty: "I have one more condition."

"Please tell me!" Yin Jun said seriously.

"After you acquire these two companies, you have to announce a message to the outside world, that is, you have full confidence in our Jardine Matheson Company and believe that our current difficulties are only temporary." New Bijian said.

"good!"

Yin Jun nodded without hesitation.

Niu Bijian didn't expect that he would agree so simply. He was dumbfounded and said: "Am I too easy to negotiate?"

"No." Yin Jun said, "It's just a matter of saying something, why don't you agree? Anyway, I'm not a god. No one will think that what I say must be right, right? This is just a friendly gesture, everyone knows it. ."

Nu Bijian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This boy is really free and easy!
