The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 244 Target Lane Crawford

In the office of the general manager of the Xiangjiang Sakura Bank headquarters, two representatives of Mitsui and Mitsubishi are communicating how to complete the tasks sent by the local government.

It is very difficult to attack the Xinjian industry in the capital chain. They carefully investigated the situation of the major companies in the Xinjian department. None of these companies borrowed from banks, even Xinjian Bank. Sometimes they feel incredible.

When the entire Xinjian Department needs to expand, it will only play one trick, either targeted financing or selling shares.

As a result, the major enterprises in the Xinjian Department not only have sufficient funds for expansion, but also do not have any pressure to repay their debts. This is definitely a unique phenomenon for large enterprises.

It seems that Li Jianhui and Xin Jianhui are not worried at all that the reduction of shares will affect their control over the company. At present, the controlling shares of several companies are less than 30%. With so many listed companies, Xin Jianhui or Li Jianhui holds more than 50% of the shares. No.

Even the core Xinjian Group, Li Jianhui's personal shareholding has dropped to 38.25%, and it seems that he is not at all worried that the core company will be taken away by other forces.

The general manager of Sakura Bank, Tian Qijiro, said: "It is not easy for us to collapse the Xinjian Department from the capital chain. I personally think that the best way is to suppress the listed companies of the Xinjian Department in the stock market. The other party repurchased shares in the stock market to restrain Xin Jian's funds and energy."

"I'm afraid there aren't many options in the stock market. Now we mainly need to contact the major shareholders behind the Xinjian listed companies to see if we can draw them into our camp. As long as these major shareholders are united, they are fully capable. Drive Xinjian Group and even Li Jianhui out of the company."

Hiroshi Hamasaki doesn't have much confidence in the stock market. As long as these major shareholders are unwavering, whether the stock market rises or falls will not affect the Xinjian industry. These companies without financial pressure and loans are not afraid of the company's stock market falling at all.

They don't have much confidence in attracting these major shareholders. According to their knowledge, several of the Xinjian financing companies are related to the British Rose Consortium.

For example, Blue Maple Investment, Defeng Bank, Grosvenor Company, Lip Investment Company, etc.

However, in order to cause trouble for the Xinjian Department, even if the hope is slim, they are willing to give it a try.

It is more difficult to build a department for Xin, but it is much easier to help Hang Lung. Now Hang Lung is developing normally, and the only difference is the funds.

And they just don't lack funds, financing, loans, and joint investment are all available. They focus on supporting the Xiangjiang Yanghuatang under Hang Lung to grow bigger and stronger, and reduce the share of Xinjian Department in Xiangjiang's retail market.

After the discussion between the two parties, they immediately took action. This time, they mainly targeted Lane Crawford, a retail giant under the Xinjian Department.

According to the company's announcement on the Far East Exchange, Tesco Group only holds 35% of the shares, Japan's Quanyuan Holdings holds 18%, Canada's Hua Ying Bank holds 15%, Xiangjiang Xingsha Investment Company holds 8%, Union Bank Accounting for 6% of the shares.

Because Quanyuan Holdings is in Japan, they made a special investigation. The only shareholder is a Bermuda offshore company called Novi Fund.

The specific strength is unknown, and the specific power is also unknown, but judging from the fact that the president is an Australian citizen, this company is probably related to Australia.

The Huaying Bank of Canada is not so easy to manage. It is understood that the Chinese are at the helm, and they have a natural affinity with the Xinjian Department. I am afraid that it is unlikely to stand on their side.

The sole shareholder of Xiangjiang Xingsha Company is Star Fund, which is an offshore company in the Cayman Islands. The general manager of the company is a Chinese from Xiangjiang. He once studied at the University of London and worked in London for a long time. He did not return from London until the establishment of Xingsha Company. In all likelihood, a family from England stands behind this company.

The controlling shareholder behind Union Bank is Yuntao Investment Company. The general manager of this company is Liu Shunqin, the nephew of Gu Zhenfu, the helm of the Gu family in Lugang. Even if this company is not owned by the Gu family, it has a great relationship with the Gu family.

And the Gu family and the Xin Jian family are allies, and Gu Zhenfu is also a member of the East China Association, so it may be difficult to win him over.

According to the degree of difficulty, the two first visited the manager of Quanyuan Holdings Xiangjiang Office and the general manager of Xiangjiang Xingsha Investment Company respectively.

The poor two don't know that these companies are all Li Jianhui's little vests, and those so-called personal information are also the information that Li Jianhui and the others want to let the outside world know.

For example, Zhang Wenquan, the general manager of Xingsha Investment Company, did study in London, but he didn’t work in London after graduation. He returned to Xiangjiang and worked as a trader for a while.

Later, he joined Xinjian Investment Company, and was finally appointed as the general manager of Xingsha Investment Company.

Because he was not well-known before, few people knew about him. After being promoted by Jiayi Group, this information became a long-term work in England.

As for those who have known Zhang Wenquan, there are only a few ordinary citizens. They may know that this information is false, but they will not say anything about it.

Because the ownership behind these investment companies is different, the speed of news reporting is also different.

Zhang Wenquan, general manager of Xingsha Investment Company, met with Tian Qijiro, general manager of Xiangjiang Sakura Bank at noon, and immediately reported the situation to Li Jianhui.

Looking at the documents sent by Zhang Wenquan, Li Jianhui didn't expect that the Mitsui Consortium would really be willing to spend their money. These conditions made him a little jealous.

The first is that Lane Crawford can obtain a low-interest loan of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars from Sakura Bank to make up for the shortcomings of its own logistics and warehousing.

At the same time, Lane Crawford will also offer about 5% to 10% discount on the current basis for the products purchased by Mitsui Mitsubishi.

In addition, Mitsui Mitsubishi is willing to help Lane Crawford enter the Japanese and North American markets.

Especially the third point, the Japanese market can be said to be quite unfriendly to foreign retail, without the help of local forces, it is difficult to gain a firm foothold.

In the previous life, neither Wal-Mart nor Carrefour were able to please the Japanese market, and their retail market was mainly occupied by local retailers.

It's a pity that there is a prerequisite for all these benefits, and that is to expel E-buy Group from Lane Crawford.

This is not only to pull the head of E-buy from the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of Lane Crawford, but also to make E-buy Group spit out all the shares.

As for who will take over these shares, although the other party didn't mention it, it doesn't take much to know that Mitsui or Mitsubishi will sell in the stock market and gradually turn themselves into a major shareholder.

These consortium elites are all good at calculating, how could they help Lane Crawford develop for no reason, even if it is to combat the Xinjian Department, it is impossible to contribute for free.

The other major shareholders of Lane Crawford really turned to them. I am afraid that Lane Crawford will only be controlled by Mitsui or Mitsubishi in the future.

It's a pity that these two companies are doomed to draw water from a bamboo basket. As long as Li Jianhui is unwilling, the two companies will eat up all the outstanding shares in the stock market, and they will not be able to shake Xin Jian's position in the company.

And once the tradable shares decrease, Lane Crawford can issue additional shares on the stock market one after another to increase more funds for Lane Crawford.

Xingsha Investment will not move here for the time being, and Li Jianhui intends to let Quanyuan Company chat with these two companies slowly.

At present, Fountain is the second largest shareholder of Lane Crawford, accounting for 18% of the shares, and is qualified to negotiate favorable conditions with the two companies.

As for whether E-buy Group will withdraw from Lane Crawford, Li Jianhui has not yet made up his mind. He is going to discuss with the senior management before making a decision.

If it is beneficial to the development of Lane Crawford, it would be fine for e-buy to withdraw from Lane Crawford on the bright side, but it is just a left hand and a right hand. It is definitely impossible for the shares to go to Mitsui or Mitsubishi.
