Huayu since 1980

Chapter 407 Land Change Owner

Huang Tingfang's attitude was very firm, as if the price was an insult to him.

Wu Jianye showed a embarrassed look, at this time Huang Tingfang seemed to be his old friend for many years.

"Since Huang Sheng is dissatisfied with the price, then our business will not be righteous, and I don't want to cause a rift in the friendship between you and me because of this matter, so we have to let it go!"

Huang Tingfang: "."

Ma Dan, it really is for making movies, and the acting is really almost believable!Huang Tingfang thought indignantly that although he only owns 2.73% of the shares in Landmark, this also involves a transaction of several hundred million Hong Kong dollars. With this money, Huang Tingfang can survive the stock market crash, and even buy it back at a low price A portion of the company's shares.

Therefore, Huang Tingfang must not let this business fail.

"Wu Sheng, in fact, the price can still be negotiated, and as Wu Sheng said, since we are friends between you and me, I will not hide some things from Wu Sheng. The loss was heavy, and the shares of Hongkong Land can just help the Far East Organization to hear about this crisis, and Wu Sheng doesn't seem to let your friend get into trouble!"

Since Wu Jianye said that he and Huang Tingfang were friends, Huang Tingfang directly told Wu Jianye on the level of friends.

Wu Jianye also made a bitter look: "Oh, Huang Sheng doesn't know something. Although our Yaoguang Group is not listed, the stock market crash has also caused heavy losses. If it were normal, with the relationship between you and me, This price is definitely subject to change, but now."

You come and go with each other, one side sells miserably, the other side is worse than this side, this side is passionate about youth, and the other side is nostalgic for the past, anyway, Wu Jianye killed the price of 11 Hong Kong dollars, no matter what Huang Tingfang said, Wu Jianye didn't add a penny. Seeing that the stock exchange of Xiangjiang will announce the opening of the market in two days, if there is no good news for Far East Organization, then for Far East Organization, it will become a A member of the stock market disaster.

In the end, the two negotiated for nearly an afternoon, but Huang Tingfang was still defeated, and finally decided to sell his 2.73% equity in Landmark to Wu Jianye.

The amount involved is as high as 7.69 million Hong Kong dollars!
Originally Wu Jianye was going to ask Huang Tingfang to hope that he would not be the first to disclose the transaction between the two parties like Liu Luanxiong did, but Huang Tingfang took the lead in making this request.

But then Wu Jianye figured it out. Huang Tingfang must have more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars in his hand and wanted to borrow from the stock market disaster. It may increase to one billion Hong Kong dollars!

From this point of view, in this transaction, Huang Tingfang earned more.

Sure enough, they are all human beings!

After separating from Huang Tingfang, Wu Jianye made an appointment with the Chartered Ship King again.

Although the charter king's status in Xiangjiang is noble, even the charter king cannot survive the stock market disaster, but the loss is relatively small.

However, due to the health of the charter king and the disappointment with the management of Standard Chartered Bank, he finally decided to sell 15% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank to Wu Jianye.

"Bao Weng, happy cooperation!" Wu Jianye shook hands with the Chartered Ship King and said with a smile.

"Seeing Wu Sheng, I really have to sigh that a hero is born as a boy!" The charter king sighed.

"Bao Weng should be old and vigorous, and he is not young anymore!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

After the two sides shook hands and greeted each other, Wu Jianye left the villa of the boat charter king.

"Father-in-law, just sold the shares of Standard Chartered Bank to Shanhai Investment?" Wu Guangzheng was still a little unwilling. If the Baos could control the Standard Chartered Bank, then the Baos consortium would have an unstoppable position in Xiangjiang.

The charter king pondered: "Ryan Henderson is not so easy to deal with. According to Wu Jianye's style, he probably wants to control Standard Chartered Bank, and then control Standard Chartered Bank, but Ryan Henderson operates in Standard Chartered Bank. For a long time, there was no way to get in. If it was a forced acquisition, the funds involved would at least exceed 150 billion Hong Kong dollars."

"Does Wu Jianye have this strength?" Finally, the charter king asked himself!
The reason why the stock market crash is called a stock market crash is because it is global, and it is the same for Xiangjiang. No matter what your position is in the Xiangjiang stock market before the stock market crash, even the blue chips of Xiangjiang will not escape bad luck.

For the chairman of a listed company, there is another advantage of the stock market crash, that is, if you have a lot of cash in your hands, you can use this cash to buy the company's shares sold in the stock market at a low price, so that after the stock market crash passes, before The stocks you buy will grow exponentially. Of course, this also involves a degree of grasping.
As one of the top powers in Xiangjiang, Jardine was once evaluated by American magazines. The real control of Xiangjiang is HSBC, Hong Kong government, Jockey Club, and Jardine, in no particular order!
This shows how powerful Jardine's background is.

However, with the development of the times, Jardine's status gradually fell behind in the first echelon. First, it lost to the charter king in the Wharf War. After entering the 80s, Jardine's development strategy was flawed. Their crazy expansion led to a shortage of cash. In addition, in 82, the history of the Iron Lady fell, which caused Xiangjiang's stock market to plummet.

By this year, Jardine's total debt has reached a huge HK$130 billion. The once largest consortium in Hong Kong has now been called the "debt king" of Hong Kong!

In other words, there is not much cash flow in Jardine's hands at this time, and naturally there is no way for him to profit from the stock market crash!
It was also against this background that Wu Jianye found Simon Keswick again, and formally opened the acquisition negotiations with Simon Keswick on Landmark!

At this time, Simon Keswick can be said to be in a state of desperation. No one would have thought that the global stock market crash would suddenly come. The major Chinese-funded consortiums have been eyeing Hong Kong Land all the time, causing the stock price of Hong Kong Land to soar all the way, blinding his eyes.

Now that the stock market crash is coming, the Chinese-funded consortium will definitely die down, losing the good news that the Chinese-funded consortium has acquired Hongkong Land shares, and the stock price of Hongkong Land will inevitably fall during the stock market crash. This will be a major loss for Jardine Matheson.

When seeing Wu Jianye again at this time, Simon Keswick had mixed feelings in his heart. He really didn't expect that it would be Wu Jianye who could find him at this time.

In fact, in Simon Keswick's mind, the best buyer of Hong Kong Land should be a consortium formed by Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Rong Gongzi and others. After all, these four represent the strength of Hong Kong's top Chinese consortium!
It's just that when the stock market crash comes, they must also prioritize their own consortium's affairs, and they must not care about the acquisition of land.

Sunday, October 10th!More than investment!
This negotiation is different from the previous negotiation between Wu Jianye, Liu Luanxiong and Huang Tingfang, the two sides showed a lot of sincerity.

Chairman of Jardine Simon Keswick, Executive Director of Jardine Paul Weiss, Executive Director of Jardine Fu Smith and other senior Jardine directors arrived at the conference room of Yuzhi Investment at the invitation of Wu Jianye.

On Wu Jianye's side, besides Wu Jianye, Zhou Tao, Yan Wen, and a professional negotiating team consisted of 13 people. The total number of people on both sides was close to 30!

"Welcome Mr. Keswick and Jardine's high-level executives. I hope our negotiation will have a good conclusion!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Although Simon Keswick was extremely anxious, he still maintained his demeanor and said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem. I have said before that Hongkong Land's door is open. As long as Wu Sheng's price can impress us, Jardine Landmark is not for sale!”

After the two parties sat down, Wu Jianye said that Yaoguang Group hopes to purchase 25.3% of Hongkong Land shares held by Jardine Strategies in a friendly manner!

The bid price is 11 Hong Kong dollars per share, so that the issue of ownership of Hong Kong Land Control can be resolved as soon as possible!
"Wu Sheng, this price is impossible. You should know that just a few days ago, a consortium formed by Li Chaoren and others proposed to buy it at a price of 17 Hong Kong dollars per share, and I remember that the price Wu Sheng proposed was 15 Hong Kong dollars per share. Hong Kong dollars, but now they only propose a price of 11 Hong Kong dollars, I think this is Wu Sheng's ignorance of the value of land!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Mr. Keswick, the stock price of Hongkong Land was only HK$11.69 per share before the market closed, but you and I both know that as soon as the stock exchange announces the opening of the market, this price will definitely fall. At that time, the price may fall below 10 Hong Kong dollars, and now our Yaoguang Group has proposed a price of 11 Hong Kong dollars per share, which is already a premium acquisition!"

Bao Weishi shook his head beside him, and said: "Sheng Wu, this calculation is wrong. Although the stock market disaster will have some impact on Hongkong Land's stock price, neither the asset value nor the rent of Hongkong Land has fallen, which also shows that the value of Hongkong Land It has not changed, and Wu Sheng should not lower the quotation based on the temporary price change in the stock market!"

Wu Jianye said: "The market reflects the price of Landmark, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that."

Afterwards, the two sides launched fierce negotiations. Jardine decided to consider the actual value of the land, while Wu Jianye believed that the stock market's reaction should be the real net worth of a listed company.

In the end, Wu Jianye raised the price to 11.5 Hong Kong dollars, while Jardine's price was 16.5 Hong Kong dollars!

The two sides have reached a deadlock, and no one can persuade the other.

Seeing that it was time for lunch, Wu Jianye suggested that everyone eat first, and then continue the negotiation after the meal is over. Naturally, Simon Keswick has no objection to this, and they also need to think carefully.

After the lunch, Simon Keswick first proposed that he could sell Hong Kong Land’s stock price to Yaoguang Group at a price of 16 Hong Kong dollars per share. The announcement is broken!
Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "I originally wanted to reach a friendly acquisition with Jardine. Since Mr. Simon Keswick cannot agree with Yaoguang Group's offer, how about Mr. Simon Keswick? Let's talk about it after reading this document." !"

After speaking, Wu Jianye handed a document to Simon Keswick.

After Simon Keswick finished the document, he immediately looked at it with Bao Weishi and others, but after seeing the contents of the document, Simon Keswick and others immediately showed shocked expressions.

The document shows that Yaoguang Group has reached an agreement with Huaren Real Estate and Jianjian Securities to acquire 1.29% and 2.73% of Hongkong Land shares in their hands respectively. Yaoguang Group already holds a 2.66% stake in Landmark.

As long as Yaoguang Group officially signs a transfer contract with Huaren Land and Jianjian Securities, Yaoguang Group will become the third largest shareholder of Hongkong Land, second only to Jardine Matheson's 26% and Li Chaoren and others' 8%.

"Mr. Keswick, if your company cannot agree to our company's quotation, then as soon as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange announces the opening of the market tomorrow, the Yaoguang Group will immediately announce the full acquisition of Hongkong Land's shares at HK$11 per share in cash. I tell Mr. Keswick that you don’t want such a thing to happen, right?”

Wu Jianye spoke in a deep voice.

Simon Keswick's face changed. If Wu Jianye really did this, considering the panic among Hong Kong stockholders, as soon as this offer comes out, they will definitely rush to sell their shares in Landmark to make up for their losses in the stock market crash. loss.

"Wu Sheng, if you do this, it will only cause you and me to suffer even greater losses. At that time, we, Jardine, will definitely not sit idly by. Have you ever thought about what kind of high price will be in the end?"

Wu Jianye shook his head and continued: "Mr. Keswick, I can tell you that our Yaoguang Group is determined to win the land. For this acquisition, our Yaoguang Group has prepared 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. , and the cash can continue to grow if needed!"

After Simon Keswick heard the 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, he finally showed a slumped expression. He knew that the general trend was over. At this time, Xiangjiang could come up with a consortium with 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. Apart from HSBC, he couldn't think of anyone else. Some consortiums might There will be, but it is impossible for them to come up with so much cash during the stock market crash at this time!
As for whether Wu Jianye is lying, Simon Keswick believes that this kind of thing is possible, but he can't bet on it, because Wu Jianye is too confident at this time, not to mention that he bought Liu Luanxiong and The stocks in Huang Tingfang's hands are only in these two days
"12 Hong Kong dollars per share, this is Jardine's final bottom line, if Wu Sheng can't agree, we can only meet in the stock market!" Simon Keswick said with a sinking face.

Wu Jianye showed a smile: "Mr. Keswick, happy cooperation!"

In the end, Simon Keswick signed his name on the contract, trembling slightly.

Since then, Landmark, known as the brightest pearl in the real estate industry in Hong Kong, has officially changed hands and has become the second listed company under Yaoguang Group!
That night, Jardine and Yaoguang Group jointly held a press conference.

Zhou Tao, as the representative of Yaoguang Group, announced at the press conference that Yaoguang Group has officially acquired 80% of Jardine Landmark's shares at a price of 26 billion Hong Kong dollars, officially becoming the largest shareholder of Hongkong Land!
For a time, the whole Xiangjiang was shocked!
