Chapter 181 The Josek Family Has No Money! Henry Josek and Niu Bi
Chapter 181 The Yosek family has no money! Henry Joseph and Niubijian seek peace! !
How to deal with it?
Last time, the Imperial Group made a sneak attack on Wharf and purchased additional Wharf shares at a high price. Jardine Matheson Land also offered the same high price, hoping to purchase additional shares and bonds.
How could this possibly make Empire Group's cash addition attractive?
Jardine Land naturally lost miserably.
In fact, Jardine Matheson Land was the first to run away and directly sold all Wharf shares to Imperial Group.
In that case.
The Imperial Group spent more than HK$2 billion on additional purchases of Wharf, but Jardine Matheson Land could not afford it.
Now let Keswick and Niu Bijian get HK$15.6 billion. Where can they get it?
Even if it costs money.
The money didn't just appear out of thin air.
In Xiangjiang, you can either borrow money from Huifeng Bank or Zhata Bank.
Borrowing money requires collateral and even high interest rates.
The Yosek family and Niu Bijian have something worth HK$15.6 billion to mortgage to Huifeng Bank and Zada Bank.
Even if they have corresponding mortgages, Huifeng Bank and Zada Bank may not necessarily give them loans.
In other words, borrowing from a bank may not be feasible at all.
Unless they immediately go to Europe and the United States to borrow money from large European consortiums or even the Bank of England.
The conditions for borrowing money from these large consortiums or the Bank of England are probably even more stringent.
Historically, Hutchison International's chief executive Qi Dezun had no choice but to borrow money from Hutchison Whampoa because Hutchison Whampoa suffered serious losses under his management.
In the end, Hutchison Whampoa became the majority shareholder of Hutchison International through loans, and later Huifeng Bank's shares in Hutchison International were sold to Imperial Group.
These methods are not feasible in the eyes of Joseph and Niubijian.
Borrowing money from large consortiums and banks takes a lot of time.
The most important thing is that the Imperial Group does not give them more time to prepare.
It’s hard for them to raise so much money in such a short period of time?
15.6 billion Hong Kong dollars?
How much is this!
Henry Keswick and Niu Bijian couldn't believe it.
Imperial Group can spend money to acquire it.
Henry Keswick can't do it any time soon.
"Niu Bijian, you are the chief class officer, how do you solve this problem?"
"I can't think of it either."
Niu Bijian said with a headache.
"Bao Fuda, what about you?"
Niu Bijian couldn't think of it himself and looked at Bao Fuda aside.
Bao Fuda had a severe headache.
Think about it.
All we can say is: "Sir Joseph, Chairman, now we can only ask for peace from the Imperial Group."
Seeking peace?
How can this be?
Will the Imperial Group let them go?
This is how the law stipulates here in Xiangjiang.
Whoever has the most shares is the major shareholder and controls the company.
Imperial Group is already the major shareholder of Jardine Matheson and Heungkong Land. It stands to reason that under normal circumstances, Mr. Yang is already a director of Jardine Matheson and Heungkong Land respectively.
In fact, Mr. Yang can directly compete with Niu Bijian, a senior classmate, for a position.
Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group did not do that. Instead, he directly swallowed up Jardine Land through additional purchases at high prices, without giving the Yosek family a chance at all.
That is, summation?
It just doesn't work anymore.
Shopping malls are like battlefields.
At this time, now is the battlefield.
The imperial group has already launched weapons, but they still want to sue for peace?
"Sir Josek, Chairman, we cannot directly sue for peace. However, someone can."
"who?"
"Mr. Mai Lihao, the Governor of Hong Kong, and Mr. Shen Bi, the chairman of Huifeng Bank."
Governor Maliho?
Both Yosek and Niubijian's eyes lit up.
However, when they heard about Shen Bi, the chairman of Huifeng Bank, their expressions turned bad.
In the first half of the year, Shen Bi also sold the shares of Hutchison International, the second largest foreign bank in Hong Kong, to Imperial Group at a low price. Not only that, he also allowed Imperial Group to invest in Huifeng Bank and become Huifeng Bank's major shareholder.
In their opinion, Mr. Yang was about to wear a pair of pants with Shen Bi. How could Shen Bi mediate for them?
Joseph Henry remembered the last time the Wharf was attacked by the Imperial Group. He remembered clearly that Shen Bi didn't want to pay attention to it at all.
Now that the Imperial Group wants to swallow up Jardine Land, it is even less likely to come forward.
When there was no other way, Henry Yosek still said: "In this case, Niu Bijian and I will immediately go to the Governor's Mansion to see Mr. Mailihao, Bao Fuda, and Qi will go to see Shen Bi on our behalf."
"yes."
Baofuda said.
Henry Yosek and Niu Bijian got into the car, and Henry Yosek's dedicated driver immediately drove to the Governor's Mansion.
They live at Victoria Peak.
The Governor's Palace is in the Central District of Xiangjiang, not too far away.
Shen Bi, who also lives in the Peak Villa, is much closer than the Governor's Mansion.
Last night, Mr. Yang specially invited him and his wife to attend the Yang family's private concert, although he didn't quite understand the songs Miss Teresa Teng sang.
Shen Yi and his wife really like that kind of environment.
In Shen Bi's opinion, gathering and getting along with Mr. Yang can deepen the relationship.
However, just half an hour ago.
Shen Bi also suddenly received many phone calls. When he finished listening to the calls, he was really confused and thought he had heard wrongly.
The Imperial Group actually wants to swallow up Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land?
He was not very clear about how much money the Empire Group had.
Shen Yi only knew that the Empire Group had made a lot of profits in the stock market. In addition, Huifeng Bank had already injected 8 billion Hong Kong dollars into Huifeng & Empire, a joint investment fund between Huifeng Bank and the Empire Group.
In his opinion, it would be difficult to swallow up Jardine Matheson Land under normal circumstances with 8 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Now the total market value of Jardine Matheson Land is only about a few billion Hong Kong dollars.
However, it is impossible for the Empire Group to swallow up Jardine Matheson Land at a normal stock price.
When he heard that the Empire Group was going to purchase more Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Land at ten times the stock price, he thought it would definitely work.
This would require a great price.
According to the ten times stock price, the current market value of Jardine Matheson Land is 6.1 billion, and the market value of ten times the stock price becomes 61 billion Hong Kong dollars.
61 billion Hong Kong dollars?
What is the concept?
Even if Huifeng Bank and the Empire Group invested 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, it would be in installments.
Or it would take five years to add up to HK$100 billion, not one year.
In this case, Shen Yi calculated that according to the Empire Group's shares in Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Land, if it wanted to increase its shares to 49%, it would cost another HK$15.6 billion.
Can the Empire Group come up with HK$15.6 billion?
Shen Yi couldn't believe it.
He also knew that the Empire Group's deposits were not all in Huifeng Bank, but some were in other banks, which Shen Yi and Huifeng Bank didn't know.
Mr. Yang?
This person.
Shen Yi really couldn't see through it.
Shen Yi was going around in circles.
Logically speaking, Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Land belonged to foreign companies, and he was a Y countryman, so he should have more feelings for the Y countrymen. Should he help Joseph protect British capital?
Shen Yi knew that it was not like that.
Since he was influenced by the previous boss Sanders, he knew that Hong Kong could no longer do without Chinese capital.
In his opinion, whether it is Chinese capital or British capital in Hong Kong, they are actually the same.
They are all under the management of the Queen of Great Britain.
Like Mr. Yang, if you say he is Chinese capital, it is because he is a Chinese in Hong Kong.
However, if you say he is not Chinese capital, but British capital, in fact, it is also reasonable. The executives of Yang Ming, except for the general manager of Empire Group, Michael Reese, the general manager of Wharf Group, and William Wells, the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa, are basically white.
In this case, do you want to say that Yang Ming's Empire Group is Chinese capital?
In his opinion, it is more like British capital.
At this time, the butler came in and said, "Sir, Mr. Bao Fuda is here."
Bao Fuda?
General manager of Landmark?
He came here at this time?
Shen Yi seemed to have guessed something.
I'm afraid that Joseph and Niu Bijian have been desperate like the last time Wharf was acquired by Empire Group.
"Mr. Bao Fuda, why are you here so late?"
"Mr. Shen, I'm here on behalf of Sir Joseph and Mr. Niu Bijian."
"Let's go inside and talk."
Shen Yi took Bao Fuda to the garden.
But Bao Fuda was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
"Mr. Shen, Jardine Matheson is the largest foreign company in Hong Kong. It is the result of many years of hard work by British capital. This time, the Empire Group attacked Jardine Matheson. It is already the largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Land. Now it wants to swallow up Jardine Matheson. Please help save Jardine Matheson?"
British foreign company?
Shen Yi smiled.
He seemed a little confused about this concept.
If it was really so clear, why did Huifeng Bank support Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and other Chinese capitals so much in recent years to let these Chinese capitals rise?
Shen Yi didn't say anything.
"Sir Joseph and Mr. Niu Bijian know that they can't borrow so much money from Huifeng Bank, but they hope you can mediate and let Mr. Yang of Empire Group give up the plan to swallow up Jardine Land?"
Let him persuade Mr. Yang of Empire Group to give up swallowing up Jardine Land?
Why?
Why should Shen Yi be the sinner?
What's more, Shen Yi knows that he can make Mr. Yang give up with just one word?
Is that possible?
Mr. Yang is not that Li Jiacheng!
Mr. Yang has developed everything with his own funds, not Huifeng Bank.
On the contrary, Huifeng Bank's investment now needs to rely on Empire Group.
"Bao Fuda, you have been the general manager of Jardine Land for so many years, why are you so naive?"
"Mr. Shen, I."
"The business world is like a battlefield. If you were Mr. Yang, would you take the initiative to give up the opportunity to swallow up Jardine Land?"
At this time, Bao Fuda had reacted.
He knew that if he were Mr. Yang, it would be impossible to do that.
Such a big piece of fat meat, you have to swallow it up, do you have to spit it out and give it to others?
