I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 302 Splitting Jardine Land
Worldwide shipping.

Zhang Guobin, Huo Guangtai and Bao Yugang gathered together.

Bao Yugang was wearing a gray suit, leaning on the sofa chair, put his hands together and said: "Splitting Jardine Land is a big project. Jardine Land has a large amount of land reserves in Causeway Bay, and there are many plots in Central. The building is the first skyscraper in Hong Kong, swallowing up Jardine Land is tantamount to cutting off an arm of Jardine Group in Hong Kong."

At the beginning, Zhang Guobin snatched Hong Kong Electric just to compete with Jardine, but now he is trying to kill Jardine.

Of course, it is impossible to beat Jardine completely. As a foreign businessman with government background, Jardine even sold opium in the past. Now it also has big businesses such as foreign firms, construction, finance, dairy industry, shipping, retail, insurance and so on.

As a key subsidiary of the Jardine Group, Jardine Land occupies three-tenths of Jardine's value in Xiangjiang. .

"Mr. Zhang, you have great ambitions."

Bao Yugang laughed.

Zhang Guobin stood upright in a suit, standing in the office with a cigar in his hand, raised his cuff, and took a sip: "I don't want to do anything big, how dare I invite Brother Tai and Brother Gang to come forward together?"

Huo Guangtai sat on the sofa, wearing a blue suit with a patterned tie, crossed his legs and said, "Abin, your trick of donating money to the motherland is very good. You sold the shares of Jardine Land to smash the market. At first I thought it was To let it go, I didn't expect it to be a pavement for the acquisition of Jardine Land."

"If Huazi can acquire Jardine Land together, it will become a battle for the glory of the ancestors." Zhang Guobin chuckled and said: "Brother Tai, Brother Gang and I will buy Jardine together, and then we will split up the land, the building, and the land together." Get what you need."

"Hahaha." Huo Guangtai laughed loudly with ambition in his eyes.

The three of them together do have this kind of strength.

It is not a matter of a day or two for the Chinese consortium to covet Jardine. In 1980, Niu Bijian, the chairman of the Jardine Group, in order to prevent the Chinese consortium from probing the Jardine Group, thought of mutual control between the Jardine Group and Hongkong to defend The company's controlling stake is called "Jardine Mutual Control" by the business community. To put it bluntly, Jardine Land replaces the equity with the headquarters, holding each other to prevent shares from flowing out of the market. The headquarters passes through Jardine's securities companies. Holding Hongkong Land shares, commonly known as "left pocket into right pocket", makes Jardine headquarters always hold more than [-]% of Hongkong Land Holdings, holding the largest shareholding.

This method has achieved remarkable results in the past few years, but with the downturn of real estate in 84, Jardine’s headquarters has been unable to provide cash to support the development of Landmark, and Jardine Mutual Control has become a bad move. , Jardine headquarters did not make a move to raise it.

After acquiring Hong Kong Electric, Zhang Guobin, like many Chinese bigwigs, had thoughts on Jardine Land. Real estate companies in a down cycle are paper tigers. The opportunity of the times.

Guobin Securities has been secretly buying shares of Jardine Land, and the equity is not particularly large, accounting for only about [-]%.

Zhang Guobin didn't want to owe Huo Guangtai and Bao Yugang's favor, so as not to be able to repay it in the future, but he was willing to split up Jardine together with the two big brothers, make a fortune together, and do business together...

"Okay."

Bao Yugang thought for a moment on the chair, then nodded and said: "Now is indeed an opportunity, so let's lead Huazi to fight a beautiful battle."

"Just to celebrate the victory of the motherland negotiations."

The negotiation agreement has not yet been officially announced, but several main points have been clarified, and there are rumors in political and business circles.

Huo Guangtai nodded and said: "Hu Yingxiang started his career in real estate, so he should be called together in this battle."

"It should be so." Zhang Guobin nodded with a smile.

1984年1月置地以每股12.3港元配售7200万股怡和股票，套现8.6亿港元，使置地持有怡和股权从42.6%减至25.3%。同时，怡和亦将对置地的持股量从30%减至25%。

In other words, there are 75% of Hongkong Land shares in circulation on the market this year, with a value of about 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, floating according to the market value. The three tycoons can raise corresponding funds in a short period of time. There are more than [-] million Hong Kong dollars in the flow, most of which come from the profits of the Japanese stock market, and through capital allocation, bank loans, fundraising and other means, it is not difficult to control Landmark.

However, the business war is not fought in this way. Once controlling land, Zhang Guobin and other tycoons will have to bear the debt of land, and at the same time, Guobin Securities will face the problem of cash flow depletion.

So the three tycoons decided to continue smashing Jardine Land together. After smashing the stock price of Jardine Land, let the bank put pressure on Jardine Landmark, and at the same time send people to negotiate privately. Jardine Landmark has two options. To buy stocks, one is to sell the properties owned by Chinese capital to return blood.

"Splitting Jardine Land is a big project, and it will take at least a few months to operate, and the investment will be huge."

Zhang Guobin walked out of the Global Shipping Group building and left in a Hutou Mercedes. Sitting in the car, he picked up his mobile phone and made a call: "Superman Cao, the company is doing things according to the plan."

"Boss, have you reached agreement with Huo Sheng and Bao Sheng?"

Cao Renchao was sitting in the securities company's office, holding the phone with an excited expression.

"We're done." Zhang Guobin said in a simple tone.

We are all the same kind of people, with the same ambitions, how can we not agree?

"Okay." Cao Renchao simply accepted the order.

"After this battle, you will be a veritable Superman Cao in the stock market, more famous than Superman Li." Zhang Guobin said.

Cao Renchao chuckled: "Who am I? Boss, you are going to be as famous as Huo Sheng and Bao Sheng."

"Fame belongs to fame. Compared with the two seniors, I am still young." Zhang Guobin hung up the phone and looked out the window: "If Hongkong Land can be successfully split, can we also find opportunities to split Jardine in the future?"

Once this idea arises, it cannot be restrained and begins to grow crazily.

……

"Sirs, what is the opinion of the board of directors regarding Yihai Group's donation of [-] million Hong Kong dollars to the Chinese side?"

Xiangjiang Jockey Club not only provides racecourse, horse racing, gaming and other services, but also provides high-end board and lodging services for members of the Jockey Club. There is a hotel in the form of a resort inside the racecourse.

In a meeting room, a dignified ghost in a high-end suit with gray temples stood at the head of the meeting table, facing the twelve directors of the board of directors below.

Before 1997, the Xiangjiang horse racing was officially called: Royal Jockey Club.

The Chairman of the Jockey Club Board of Directors is recommended by the Governor. The twelve members of the Board of Directors are all representatives of the British consortium, and each director has extensive government experience.

Director Li Xize sat on a chair, wore a light-colored suit, pushed his glasses, and said in a deep voice: "In this current situation, the Chinese side is willing to accept donations from the Yihai Group. I believe that the Chinese side has made it clear. Smooth operation, it is recommended to stop ICAC's in-depth investigation of Yihai Group."

"It's okay to stop ICAC's investigation of telephone betting, but it should not interfere with ICAC's exercise of power. Follow-up actions should be negotiated after watching the market." Director Ying Jiabai is still not reconciled.

"I agree, I agree..." Many members of the board of directors expressed their opinions.

In the office, every ghost on the board of directors has an authentic Chinese name, which shows the painstaking efforts of Xiangjiang's ruling class.

Chairman of the Jockey Club Xia Weili nodded and said: "Then call the Commissioner of Corruption first and convey the opinion of the Emperor Jockey Club."

"Yes, sir."

"Yes, sir..." The twelve directors of the Jockey Club all expressed their position on behalf of the consortium behind them. In a sensitive situation, every small action may cause a big reaction. Everyone must not only protect the interests of the Jockey Club, but also the For the benefit of the consortium behind it, it is not a shame to give up part of the betting amount on the Jockey Club. Anyway, the upper-level negotiations have failed, and the bottom-level economy will naturally be affected. A strong country means strong people, and a weak country means weak people.

If you bow your head and admit defeat when you should fight back bravely, your opponents will look down on you.

A week later.

Zhang Guobin ordered someone to park the car at the intersection, opened the door, stepped out of the car, and shouted to a figure in front, "Sir Yan, are you interested in having a cup of coffee together?"

Yan Xiuqing just got out of the car and came to the bottom of the apartment building. Hearing the sound, she turned to look at Zhang Guobin with a surprised expression: "Mr. Zhang!"

"What's the matter, surprise me?" Zhang Guobin smiled lightly.

"I invite people to drink coffee, but no one dares to refuse, otherwise..." He went straight upstairs, joking.

Yan Xiuqing's pupils shrank, and she didn't dare to take this sentence as a joke. She turned around and walked towards Zhang Guobin, and said solemnly, "I believe that Mr. Zhang is a person who can do great things, please!"

"Let's have a cup of coffee together."

There is a coffee shop just down the street.

Zhang Guobin nodded in satisfaction, and entered the coffee shop with Yan Xiuqing, followed closely by six bodyguards, standing around the table in the coffee shop, Zhang Guobin and the waiter ordered a cup of latte, while Yan Xiuqing habitually ordered iced Americano, After the waiter brought two cups of coffee to the table, Zhang Guobin drank the coffee and said, "Sir Yan, now that the limelight has passed, you and I can make friends."

"Although the investigation of the serious case in Central has determined that the murderer is a member of the Daquan Gang, I believe that Qi Shuqiu's disappearance cannot be separated from you." Yan Xiuqing said sharply: "If you want me to be friends with a man with blood on his hands, do you deserve it? "

"Hehe, Sir Yan's words are too fierce." Zhang Guobin sat on the stool, propped his hands on the table, and smiled indifferently: "Qi Shuqiu may have embezzled bribes and absconded with money, or he may be a ruthless hand under the help of the big circle. Now the serious crime team has listed Qi Shuqiu as a missing fugitive, why do you pour dirty water on me."

"I have a lot of blood in my hands, but you have less?"

"Everyone has different methods. After all, everyone's blood is blood, regardless of high or low. Those capitalist consortiums outside are covered with more blood. I'm a fart." Zhang Guobin's words are worth thinking about.

Yan Xiuqing said coldly: "You still want to bribe my family members, but don't be delusional, I have asked A Cai to hand over the stolen goods to the ICAC."

A Cai is his woman.
