Chapter 545 People's Hearts (Third Update! Please Subscribe!)

Putting down the phone, Superman Li smiled slightly.

Opposite him, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting.

Seeing that Li Chaoren had finished speaking, the middle-aged man couldn't help asking, "Mr. Li, why did you have to remind the charter king? Let him and Niu Bijian fight each other. It would be best for both sides to suffer. Wouldn't it be better for our development? Okay? Xiangjiang is just that big, it can't accommodate too many giants!"

Superman Li smiled and shook his head.

The person sitting opposite was his old friend Du Huilian.

One of the most famous stockbrokers in Xiangjiang history, he has always been his most trusted partner and broker in the stock market.

He is in charge of all the movements of Changshi Group's stock in the market.

But Du Huilian is not a member of the Changshi Group, and they can gain the trust of Li Chaoren, which proves that their relationship is really very unusual.

After Li Chaoren called Du Huilian over, he inquired carefully, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to call Bao Yugang.

From Du Huilian's point of view, Li Chaoren was a little too soft-hearted.

In fact, what Li Chaoren should do most is to directly tell Niu Bijian that Yin Jun has shares in Wharf, and then let Jardine Matheson obtain the shares in Yin Jun's hands.

In this way, on the one hand, Niu Bijian will be given a great favor, and the two companies will be able to cooperate in the future;

What Li Chaoren is doing now is to increase Bao Yugang's chances of winning.

But after Bao Yugang's victory, he who is in control of Wharf will definitely gain momentum. There is no Chinese businessman who can compete with him.

In that way, Li Chaoren does not know how long he will have to wait to become the richest man in Xiangjiang.

"We are all Chinese people after all!" After pondering for a while, Li Chaoren still explained, "No matter how you say it, the British are so powerful in China, how can I help the British?"

Du Huilian sighed and did not speak.

He felt that what Li Chaoren said was probably true, and it was only for this reason that Li Chaoren helped Bao Yugang so carelessly.

It's just that although Li Chaoren is a bit pedantic, such a friend is worth making a deep friendship with.

However, Du Huilian still hadn't guessed what Li Chaoren was really thinking.

Although Li Chaoren chose to help Bao Yugang between the British and Bao Yugang, he did not say that he was so impartial and selfless, and he also had a lot of his own little thoughts.

First of all, the most important thing is that if the charter king falls in this battle, then he, the person who swallowed Hutchison Whampoa, will be the target of Jardine Matheson's next suppression.

Even the charter king has fallen, can he still be alone? Can it still withstand the powerful Jardine Matheson?

Certainly not!

Therefore, the charter king must not fail.

Not only can't he fall, but Li Chaoren has to increase his strength to make him more capable of fighting Jardine Matheson.

If Bao Yugang got the Wharf and completely broke his face with Jardine Matheson, in the future Jardine Matheson and other British consortiums would only target Bao Yugang first, and wait until Bao Yugang fell. This is the time for them to deal with other Chinese businessmen.

But Li Chaoren believes that by that time, he must have become stronger, and he will no longer be afraid of the suppression of the British.

At the same time there is another point.

After the charter king got the Wharf, then he is a big enemy with Jardine Matheson, so he must do his best to deal with the attack of Jardine Matheson and keep his Wharf.

Once Bao Yugang devotes most of his energy to Wharf, he will not have much energy for other aspects of development, and there will be no more development.

Otherwise, with Bao Yugang's network and ability, if he puts his heart into real estate, ports, retail, etc., it is impossible for Li Chaoren to have much success.

Therefore, Li Chaoren had many plans to help Bao Yugang, and it was not that simple.

...

Just as Bao Yu hung up the phone, he saw his entourage panicking on the phone and shook his head unconsciously, looking flustered.

It seems that the news of Jardine Matheson's all-out attack still scared his subordinates.

The power and influence of the century-old Yihe is really extraordinary.

After thinking about it, he gave instructions to the people around him, then entered the bedroom, and made a call with another landline.

"Hello? Guangzhen, it's me. I don't care what method you use, quietly ask Yin Jun, the chairman of the Kirin Group, and don't let outsiders know, and then call me, okay?" Bao Yugang said directly commanded.

The son-in-law Wu Guangzhen over there was full of doubts in his heart, but he had no objection to his father-in-law's admiration, "Okay, Dad, I'll call you when I'm done... Please don't panic, we always have a solution of."

"I know, be careful, don't be found out."

Bao Yu just gave some advice before hanging up the phone.

However, he didn't take a break and made another call directly.

"Lundes, you already know about Jardine Matheson's acquisition of Wharf stock at a high price?" He spoke in English this time.

"I know." The person on the other end of the phone asked, "Is there anything you need me to do?"

"I want to ask, do you have any thoughts on his purchase price? If I want to crush them, what should I do?" Bao Yugang asked straightforwardly.

The person on the other side of the phone is Landes, who is the general manager of the largest financial company under HSBC Bank, Dolly. In the sequence of HSBC Bank, he is a high-level person who can attend the regular meeting once a week.

Many of Bao Yugang's banking business in Xiangjiang were handled by HSBC, but it was this Landes who had the most contact with him. The two had been friends for more than ten years.

Adhering to the habit of HSBC Bank, Landes is a Scot, and the Scots have always disliked the English, so although this time is against Jardine Matheson, Bao Yugang knows that Landes will definitely not help Jardine of.

"His price is very high, almost a 30% premium. But there is also a flaw in Newbijian's approach, that is, they don't use cash, but stocks and bonds." Landes has obviously considered On this matter, he opened his mouth and said: "Only the Jardine bond of 75.6 Hong Kong dollars is fully preserved, but the stock of Hongkong Land is not a certain number. It will rise and fall with the changes in the stock market. It is an uncertain Factors. If you want to win, Mr. Bao, then I suggest you buy it in cash. According to their price, you only need to give 90 Hong Kong dollars in cash per share, and I guarantee that most people will sell it to you."

Most of the people?

Bao Yugang shook his head, "Landers, what I want is to defeat them in one battle, so that they can no longer compete with me. To achieve this goal, isn't the amount of 90 yuan too unsafe? "

"Um……"

Landes is worthy of being a professional financial expert. He has considered several ways about this amount just now.

Hearing this, he replied, "If this is the case, our price can be 105 Hong Kong dollars. If it is this amount of cash, I think Jardine Matheson must have no choice. They want to give such a high price." The price, and it’s cash, not only Wharf is involved, Landmark and Jardine both have great risks.”

Landes was right.

105 Hong Kong dollars a share of Wharf stock, Bao Yugang currently has about 30 million shares, and if he wants to touch the 49 million shares of the 49% equilibrium point of the full acquisition, then he is still short of 19 million shares. He needs a principal of 2 billion, not counting various transaction costs, at least 2.2 billion is enough.

2.2 billion in cash is simply impossible for Bao Yugang, the richest man in Hong Kong with a net worth of almost 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Not to mention him, even Jardine Matheson, the second largest consortium in Hong Kong, cannot have 2.2 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash in hand.

What Bao Yugang can do is to borrow money everywhere, relying on his own relationship and face, to borrow money from banks and friends.

2.2 billion is still what Bao Yugang needs.

Jardine Matheson currently has 26 million shares. They need 400 million more cash than Bao Yugang, which is 2.6 billion, to complete this acquisition, forcing Bao Yugang to break through their 49%, so as to carry out the overall acquisition of Wharf acquisition.

Obviously, Bao Yugang did not have tens of billions in cash.

At the same time, it is obvious that Jardine Matheson and the others do not have much cash, otherwise it would be impossible to not pay any cash, either stocks or bonds.

"Then prepare according to the plan of 105, and I will allow you to make a budget of 110 at most." Bao Yugang thought for a long time, and finally made a decision.

"I see."

Landes nodded unconsciously.

Bao Yugang is still very courageous, and he was able to raise the highest purchase price to 110 Hong Kong dollars per share, which cost hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars more than 105!

At the current price level, 100 million Hong Kong dollars is still very valuable, let alone a few hundred million more.

It is estimated that Jardine Matheson does not have such courage, so Landes is very optimistic that Bao Yugang can win this acquisition battle.

Putting down the phone again, Bao Yugang organized his thoughts, and made a call for the third time, also in English.

"Mr. Shen...I'm sorry to disturb you....You know that I and Jardine Matheson are going to war, right?"

"Know."

"I hope to borrow 2 billion in cash from HSBC with the 7 freighters in the Middle East pulling oil under my name and the 5 freighters in North America as collateral. Do you think it will work?"

There was silence on the phone for a while.

On the other side of the phone is naturally the biggest Taipan in Xiangjiang—Shen Bi, chairman of HSBC Bank.

Shen Bi came to work in Xiangjiang from the UK, all the way from the manager to the general manager to today's chairman, and met Bao Yugang all the way, he can be called a good friend and a good partner.

He didn't speak, although Bao Yugang was a little worried, but actually he was a little bit sure in his heart.

After all, Shen Bi never liked the arrogant Jardine Matheson. He liked those entrepreneurs with drive and courage, and Bao Yugang was a typical example.

After a while, Shen Bi replied, "When will you want it?"

Bao Yugang and Shen Bi have been old friends for many years, "I'll hurry back to Xiangjiang today, and it's best to arrive at the account tomorrow morning."

"I'll prepare." Shen Bi didn't shirk, and said neatly.

After hanging up the phone, Bao Yugang finally didn't call again, and let out a long breath at the same time.

As long as Shen Bi secures the most important 2 billion funds, plus the cash in his hand, it is basically enough.

Although HSBC does not provide loans, I can also get loans from banks in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and other places, but after all, it is a bit troublesome and the timeliness is not so efficient.

Now, it depends on Yin Jun from Xiangjiang.

Yin Jun, Yin Jun, I hope you don't let me down!
