Chapter 552 Is This the End? !

Everyone knows that the charter king will be back late on Saturday night.

Thinking of Bao Yugang's method, on Sunday, everyone thought that there would be a fight between dragons and tigers.

But after everyone had set up the tables and melon seeds, all they saw was calm all day, without any movement at all, which surprised the onlookers.

"Isn't it? The charter king admits it?"

"Absolutely not, Bao Yugang is very stubborn and never admits defeat!"

"But why is there no news about him at all? Besides, the banks and the like haven't seen any action."

"Why not? Didn't Wu Guangzhen run between various banks yesterday?"

"Cut, how can that amount of money be possible? If the charter king wants to reach the critical point of 49%, he needs at least 19% of the shares. Even if it is calculated on the basis of 100 yuan per share, it needs about 2 billion. Considering that Yi It is possible for Heyang Bank to increase its bargaining chips, so we need to prepare more!"

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about this. Bao Yugang is a director of HSBC Bank, so he can lend money no matter what."

"What I worry about is not whether to borrow money or not, but whether he has the courage to sink the boat."

"Are you kidding me? Even the charter king doesn't have the courage to die. Who else in Xiangjiang can?"

"The tiger is strong, and the charter king is still the richest man in Xiangjiang, so I'm afraid!"

"..."

Not only were the onlookers perplexed, but even the people at Jardine Matheson, especially Niu Bijian, couldn't help being inexplicably horrified.

He knew Bao Yugang well, and he knew that Bao Yugang was definitely not someone who would sit still.

So he was ready to fight a tough battle with Bao Yugang.

100 yuan a share is definitely not Jardine's bottom line. He can raise more than one billion at any time, and if he only uses stocks and bonds, it can be even more.

But after Bao Yu just came back, he didn't make a sound at all, which is completely out of character.

It also made Niu Bijian smell a strong smell of conspiracy.

"Have you found out? Bao Yugang really has no plans to borrow money on a large scale?" Niu Bijian asked his subordinates.

"There are people from us in the Bao's consortium. They have already said that Bao Yugang is not prepared to make any mortgage loans at all. At best, some acquaintances are willing to lend to him without mortgage, but the amount will not be too much." The people at the bottom replied Said: "We estimate that he should have around 500 million funds."

"What about HSBC?" Niu Bijian asked again.

"Shen Taiban doesn't seem to be doing anything, but we don't know about the money from HSBC, it's all Shen Bi's people." The subordinate said.

From the manager to the general manager and the chairman, Shen Bi has countless confidantes who have built HSBC like an iron bucket. Although Jardine Matheson is also a member of the board of directors, it has no way to get involved in it.

Otherwise, last year's Hutchison Whampoa would not have been sold to Li Chaoren so easily.

Of course, this also had something to do with Shen Bi's disdain for these British guys, and there was fierce fighting between them.

"It doesn't matter where he is." Bedford said, "Chairman, I think Bao Yugang will definitely take action, and we must not take it lightly."

"Well, let's make preparations here, anyway, we will see the outcome tomorrow morning." Niu Bijian said, "I will do another advertisement tomorrow to let everyone know that we, Jardine Matheson, have great sincerity in buying Wharf's products." Stocks, receive as much as you have, and don't wait for the time!"

"good!"

The subordinate in charge of advertising over there hurriedly took notes.

"In addition, you Landland, according to our previous emergency plan, prepare stock warrants, and when the time is right, the increase will be added to you, no problem?" Niu Bijian turned to Bedford and asked.

"There should be no problem. We have been preparing for this for several months." Bedford said, "But Chairman, do you want to prepare the cash first? If Bao Yugang uses cash, we will increase the size accordingly. I think cash is better."

"Hehe, you're overthinking, where did Bao Yugang get so much cash to buy stocks?" Niu Bijian said, "Considering our possible price increase, if he wants to prepare cash, at least 3 billion is enough. What do you think How could Bao Yu just raise so much cash in two days? If it’s not enough to pay, all his brands will collapse!"

Bedford wanted to say that it is always better to be more prepared, but seeing Niu Bijian's disbelief, he didn't dare to say any more.

Niu Bijian is very capable, but his shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, he is extremely stubborn and domineering. Once you question him, you will be directly suppressed, even his confidantes are the same.

In addition, Bedford also felt that Bao Yugang might not have the courage and strength to make an all-cash acquisition, and the proposal was just a precautionary measure, so he didn't say anything further.

Even so, Niu Bijian was still a little nervous, but he didn't show it in front of his subordinates.

After months of planning and several years of entanglement, tomorrow will be a showdown! !

Bao Yugang, let me see what you do! !

...

Monday, June 9.

Early in the morning, the people of Xiangjiang felt that something was different.

In the past, "Kirin Daily" had only 150 distribution points, and there were many remote places, or even none, so that everyone who wanted to read "Kirin Daily" had to walk a little longer to get it.

But today is different. As long as there are people living in Xiangjiang, as long as it is not too remote mountainous area, you can see deliverymen wearing "Kirin Daily" vests everywhere, but this time there are both men and women.

But what most of them hold in their hands is not the "Kirin Daily", but sheets of propaganda papers.

There is one thing written on this leaflet.

"Starting at 9 o'clock this morning, under the entrustment of Sir Pao Yugang, Huodoli Finance Company will purchase Wharf shares in cash at 25 locations in Hong Kong Island and Yau Tsim Mong area. The purchase price of each share of Wharf shares is 105 Hong Kong dollars. The number of purchases is limited, first come first served, everyone is welcome to sell!"

Below this sentence is a series of detailed acquisition addresses.

Many ordinary people threw it away after seeing it, since it was useless anyway, but more stockholders, especially small and medium-sized stockholders in Wharf, were refreshed by this.

Damn!

Jardine Matheson used 2 shares of Landmark shares plus Jardine bonds, and the purchase price was 100 Hong Kong dollars, which is already surprising.

Now Bao Yugang bought it directly with 105 Hong Kong dollars per share, which is a huge premium of more than 40% compared to the closing price on Friday. This is a super big deal! In the history of Xiangjiang's stock acquisition, there has never been such a good thing happening!

Many stockholders have been in the stock market all year round. When they saw the price, they immediately concluded that Jardine Matheson would definitely not be able to offer such a high price.

What's more, people said that the number of purchases is limited, so you have to go as soon as possible.

But there are also some stockholders who are holding back on this.

In their view, there is not much difference between the 30% of the charter king and the 26% of Jardine Matheson. Didn’t the experts say it? It must be 49% to be counted. With such a large demand, how could the acquisition be completed in a short time?

Charter King just wants to buy at the lowest possible price, so he creates a sense of crisis here, and the purpose is to let us sell it as soon as possible!

Don't be in a hurry, wait for Jardine Matheson to make a move.

The strength of Jardine Matheson is much stronger than that of the charter king, and they have no way to give up Wharf, so they will definitely fight to the death with the charter king. Even if we wait until 110 yuan a share, it is fine. Can earn a lot more!

Shareholders who have such thoughts are not in the minority.

But there was a long queue in front of the 25 temporary acquisition addresses of Huodoli Finance Company.

These stockholders all thought that the price was already terribly high, and who knew what would happen if they didn't settle for it? It would be a pity to miss it!

When Niu Bijian got the news, he gasped.

He didn't need to look too much, he only needed to see the name of Huodoli Company, and he knew that this time it really was HSBC who helped Bao Yugang.

He also bought seven or eight newspapers, and wanted to remind the public to sell stocks again, but it was not as eye-catching as the leaflets issued by "Kirin Daily".

As a result, "Kirin Daily" got used to distributing free newspapers, and many people thought they were still distributing newspapers, so they habitually took a look.

Secondly, there are too many distributors of "Kirin Daily", and they are almost everywhere, and almost no one falls up and down.

The newspapers they publish, you need to buy a newspaper to see the advertisements, and they will immediately judge each other.

No wonder the "Kirin Daily" didn't accept this order yesterday, it turned out that it was already booked by the charter king!

Of course, Niu Bijian knew that what caused the stockholders to go crazy was actually the price offered by the charter king.

105 yuan a share, and it is a cash purchase. Compared with the closing price of 77 Hong Kong dollars on Friday, it is a 40% premium purchase. Who doesn’t like it?

In comparison, the exchange of Jardine Matheson's stocks and bonds is not worth mentioning at all.

Not to mention Bao Yugang's price is 105, it is 100 price, ten out of ten will choose Bao Yugang's side!

Judging from the lack of people at Jardine Matheson's redemption site, we can see how big the gap is.

Cash is so invincible!

"What should I do? Chairman!?"

A group of people below looked at Niu Bijian nervously, expecting him to make a decision.

"Let's increase the price too, chairman!" Bedford said again, "We should add another 10 yuan in cash, and we should be able to get back some of the stocks."

He only said that he won a part of it, but he didn't dare to say that he won a complete victory.

If you want to win, you must have more than 105 Hong Kong dollars in cash, and it must be cash only. Otherwise, even if you add 20 yuan in cash under the current conditions, it will be useless.

Of course Niu Bijian understood this, and he also knew that this was another way his old buddy used to remind himself that it was time to make a decision, and he must not stand still.

I can't be silent anymore.

According to such an acquisition, Bao Yugang can complete 49% of the acquisition in one day at most.

Only by pushing the conditions to an equal or even higher position can we snipe at the time of his acquisition and give himself a chance to breathe.

"How much money have we raised?" He turned to the financial side.

"Jardine Matheson has more than 800 million in cash, Landmark has more than 500 million, and Wheelock can lend us 300 million." The accountant said accurately, "The total is about 1.8 billion. If you urgently request loans from several banks If so, within 2 days, we should be able to gather another 2 billion or so.”

After all, Jardine Matheson is the largest consortium in Xiangjiang, and it is not difficult for them to get a loan.

Niu Bijian nodded, it seemed that his preparation was still useful.

1.8 billion in cash is not too much, and it will be enough for half a day.

As long as there is an extra half a day to buffer, then I will definitely get more cash and defeat this guy who wants to challenge Jardine Matheson!

Xiangjiang can only be ruled by the British consortium!

Come on, charter king!

Since you want to fight to the death, let's see who can have the last laugh! !

Taking a deep breath, Niu Bijian was about to give orders when suddenly a person rushed over from the outside and knocked open the door of the conference room.

"It's over, it's over!" The middle-aged man's head was covered with sweat, and his face was full of despair, "Bao Yugang has announced that the stock acquisition is over, and they already own 49% of Wharf's stock!!"

"What!?"

Niu Bijian was shocked, and subconsciously shouted: "Impossible!!"

The people below also turned to the man who rushed in.

"You're not kidding, are you?"

"Bragging! Is he a god? The transaction started half an hour ago!"

"You won't be fooled and spread fake news, right?"

"..."

"Really! He's going to hold a press conference soon!" Facing accusations from a group of colleagues, the middle-aged man said with a sad face, "Huodoli has completely stopped the acquisition, and the TV station is broadcasting it, and many of the acquisition sites are in chaos ! There is also the phenomenon of smashing!"

Only then did Niu Bijian believe that what this guy said was true.

But he couldn't figure it out, and roared: "Why? Why did the acquisition be completed so quickly? It's only 9:35!!"

"It's Yin Jun!" The middle-aged man immediately said, "Bao Yugang has already told the media that Yin Jun has 14 million Wharf shares in his hand, and signed a share transfer contract with Bao Yugang early this morning, so Bao Yugang Yu Gang only needs to buy 5% of the shares! We were fooled! His goal today is actually to buy 5% of the shares from retail investors!"

"Yin Jun!?"

Niu Bijian gritted his teeth, "I'm so mad!!"

He was yelling, furious, and suddenly his eyes went dark, and he passed out immediately!

"Director!"

A group of people were frightened out of their wits, and rushed over directly.

Occasionally, there was the sound of "calling an ambulance".

The entire meeting room was in chaos...
