Chapter Eight Hundred and Twentieth Eighth

At this time, Rothschild and Sons Co., Ltd., Charles Rothier and Sean Rothier and their sons were sitting in the office, and the atmosphere in the room was very dull.

"I haven't called for three days to ask..."

After a long time, Charles Roshir said suddenly.

Sean Rothier knew that his father was referring to Xia Yu.

Since the great change of Chunghwa Electric Power Company three days ago, Xia Yu has not made a single phone call to inquire about the progress of the acquisition. He seems to have forgotten that he had entrusted them to acquire the shares held by Swire Group.

At this moment, Sean Rothier was also very uncomfortable.

Before, they had fantasized about seizing this opportunity, delaying the time as much as possible, so that the share price of Chunghwa Electric Power Company would rise a little, and they would take action at a critical moment, hoping to gain Xia Yu's favor and make a fortune.

Who knew that the idea was good, but they miscalculated the situation, underestimated the work of the Jiuding Consortium, and even missed the opportunity.

Now that the Jiuding Consortium holds more than 50% of the shares of Chunghwa Electric Power Company, the shares held by them cannot be said to be tasteless, but they are not far behind.

Not to mention that the stock price of Chunghwa Electric Power Company has fallen to HK$22.5 per share, and there is still a tendency for it to fall back to its original price. Chie Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is indifferent despite the drop in the stock price.

The stock price of HK$22.5 per share is only about 7.1% higher than the stock price of HK$21 at the beginning of the rise.

But think about when Charles Rothier bought it from the Swire Group before, but at a premium of 10%, at a price of 23.1 Hong Kong dollars per share.

If the shares are sold to Xia Yu at the current price, Rothier and Son Heung Kong Co., Ltd. will lose more than five million Hong Kong dollars.

But if you don’t sell it, the equity will be held in your hands, and there is a high probability that it will continue to depreciate, and more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars will be tied up. In addition, it will appear incompetent.

The most serious thing is that if it is revealed later that they hold equity but do not sell it to Xia Yu, then it will undoubtedly be a great impact on the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

Under all kinds of considerations, Charles Rothier felt very uncomfortable.

Xia Yu is too thief,

It's just an old fox, and it's too hard to take advantage of him!

At this moment, the regret in Charles Rothier's heart became stronger and stronger. If he hadn't been so greedy a few days ago, he wouldn't have been sitting in the office now, and he would have been able to make a fortune and get it again. Xia Yu's favor!

Even if there is a similar opportunity next time, Charles Rothier will not dare to take this risk. Once this kind of thing happens, he knows that Xia Yu's city is too deep, and he can't figure out the details and routines of Xia Yu, so he forced it. Calculate, it is very likely that you will be asking for trouble.

"Ring Ling Ling..."

At this moment, the phone on the desk suddenly rang, awakening Charles and his son from their thoughts.

Sean Rothschild answered the phone: "Hello, this is Rothschild & Sons Co., Ltd...."

"..."

Hearing a word from the other side of the microphone, Sean Rosier's face straightened, and he covered the microphone and said a word to his father silently. Charles Rossier was refreshed and waved to his son, motioning for him to speak.

"Mr. Xia, please wait a moment, my father is just here, let him tell you!"

After finishing speaking, Sean Rothier handed the receiver to his father.

Charles Rothier changed his dullness, his voice was loud, and he said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xia, hello, I just wanted to call you, but I didn't expect to receive your call, which surprised me..."

"..."

"Yes, we signed an agreement with Taikoo Group early in the morning, and when we came back, we learned the information disclosed by the exchange... No problem, when will you come over... Okay, I'll draw up the agreement first, and you can sign it directly when you come over. ,look forward to your visit!"

"Bye-Bye!"

"Clap!"

After hanging up the phone and seeing Sean Rosier's inquiring look, Charles Rossier shrugged and ordered, "Get ready, don't reveal your secrets, Xia Yu will come over soon, wait and see if we can negotiate the price. A little higher, even if you can avoid a little loss.”

...

"Mr. Charles, thank you for your hard work, and look forward to working with you next time!"

"Mr. Xia, we have been working together very happily. If you have similar business next time, please give it to our company. I don't think I will let you down!"

"see you later!"

Around 11:30 in the morning, Charles Rothschild sent Xia Yu out with a smile on his face, waving his hand to watch Xia Yu's luxury car go away, and the smile on his face gradually faded after the car disappeared from sight. Go, a dark look appeared between the eyebrows.

Stealing chickens can't lose rice!

When negotiating with Xia Yu just now, Charles Rosier had no way to raise the price at all, and sold the 9.9 million shares he held to Xia Yu at the price of HK$22.21 according to the real-time stock price.

With a big wave of Xia Yu's hand, he directly made up the fraction, made up the whole, and took over these stocks at a price of 220 million Hong Kong dollars. Charles Rosier had to smile and hold Xia Yu's air.

But in fact, he was extremely depressed.

At the price of 228.7 million Hong Kong dollars, these shares were acquired from the Taikoo Group, but now they are sold for 220 million Hong Kong dollars. After a lot of trouble, they lost 870 One hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Before Xia Yu called, the stock price was still HK$22.50, and the floating loss was only more than five million. But when Xia Yu arrived and negotiated, the stock price dropped to HK$22.21, and he lost again. more than two million Hong Kong dollars.

"Forget it, I helped Xia Yu acquire the Xiangjiang Telephone Company before, and I earned 20 million Hong Kong dollars. After deducting the current losses, I still have a little over 10 million. It is considered a success."

Charles Rosier comforted himself secretly, but the depression in his heart still lingered. Losing money was a trivial matter, and the sense of failure was the most difficult thing for him to let go of.

The old horse stumbles~

...

Speaking of Xia Yu's side, of course he also knew about Charles Rosier's depression, he just sneered at it, and then forgot about it.

This 11% stake, he ordered people to split into several parts, of which 6.3% was allocated to Jiuding Industrial Group, raising the shareholding ratio of Jiuding Industrial Group to 30% At 4.9, almost 0.1 will hit the full acquisition line.

Another 1.2% was allocated to Jiuding Bank, and 1.9% was allocated to Jiuding Securities Company, raising the shareholding ratio of both to 10%.

The remaining 1.6% was given to Jiuding Insurance Company, raising its shareholding ratio to 7.5%.

As a result, the newly acquired equity was immediately divided up.

The reason why Xia Yu linked Chunghwa Electric Power Company to the borderline Jiuding Industrial Group, rather than the orthodox Jiuding Energy Group, mainly considered the future anti-monopoly law.

Although there is no anti-monopoly law in Xiangjiang at present, and the previous Xia Yu was born in Xiangjiang only a few years ago, it is impossible for Xia Yu to be too arrogant in this life, forcing others to join forces to come up with it.

Moreover, Xia Yu did not intend to merge Chunghwa Electric Power Company and Heung Kong Electric Lighting Company, because in his opinion, the merger of the two would do more harm than good, and the reputation would be loud, but the harm was too much.

If the two are merged, the new power company will monopolize 100% of the power market in Hong Kong. If there is a secret push by people with intentions, the Hong Kong government is likely to issue a power operating license again, and it will be a huge trouble.

It would be better to run the two companies at the same time to make the Hong Kong government look better. Although many people know the fact that the two companies are the same company, and the names are closely related, as long as the equity handled by Xia Yu Offshore is not exposed, he insists that the two companies The company has little relationship, and other people can't come up with evidence, so in the end they can only let it go.

Furthermore, it is good to keep the two power companies, which is conducive to healthy competition between the two, but is conducive to the development of the two companies from a general perspective.

Anyway, no matter which group it belongs to, he controls it, and he is firmly seated on the throne of the King of Xiangjiang Power!

After the equity disposal, Xia Yu convened a meeting with the heads of several companies and deployed the replacement work of Chunghwa Electric Power Company with only one purpose, to erase the traces of the Kadoorie family in Chunghwa Electric Power Company in the shortest possible time. , so that Xia Yu's orders can be implemented and implemented 100%.

Happy times are always short-lived.

As time passed, time unknowingly entered the end of June.

Xia Yu has solidified his foundation in Xiangjiang, but the state elections in the United States are drawing to a close, and outstanding political figures stand out one by one.

In the next July, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party of the United States will hold national conventions successively to determine the presidential nominations of each party.

In this step, both parties must be cautious. If the confirmed presidential candidate is not strong, the entire party will be affected, and the other party will easily seize the opportunity.

Of course, for those political elites who are determined to run for president, it is also the most critical time for them. They must mobilize all their strength, win the support of the party leaders, and beat the siege among their colleagues. Participate in the final contest on behalf of the party.

If you don't get your party's presidential nomination, you can declare the election lost.

Although it is possible to continue to run as an independent candidate, everyone knows that it can only increase some popularity and is more likely to become a laughing stock.

After all, since the founding of the United States, there is only one person who has become the president as an independent candidate, and that person is Washington!

Washington's success is due to the prevailing trend, the combination of the right time, the right place and the people, and it is not replicable at all.

There's simply no way to get a second Washington right now!

So in less than a month, it will be the most competitive time between the two parties.

And Ronald Wilson Reagan also entered the final evaluation list of the Republican leader!
