Chapter 190 Jardine's Counterattack
Just after Li Guangyu left Heung Kong, Jardine Group chairman Niu Bijian began to plan to counterattack Li Guangyu's secret acquisition of two groups, Heung Kong Electric and Heung Kong Telephone.

As early as a few days ago, Niu Bijian received a report from the group personnel that the tradable shares of Heung Kong Electric and Heung Kong Telephone in the stock market were constantly decreasing. Thinking about the large number of tradable shares of Wharf Group some time ago Reduced, Newbigan felt that someone was going to target him at the Jardine Group.

Newbikin originally thought that Jardine Mathematics is mainly guarding against the charter king. Now it seems that there is another big crocodile ready to attack Jardine. The reduction of Wharf’s outstanding shares some time ago is likely to be the acquisition of Heung Kong Electric in the stock market this time. and Hong Kong Telephone Group stocks.

After the personnel arranged by Nubijian conducted an investigation on the exchange, based on these clues, Nubijian had already guessed who the Jardine Group attacked him this time.

Although the people who acquired the shares of the two groups under the Jardine Group on the exchange were very concealed, Newbijian still found out that they had some connections with Tianyu Investment Company, and now Xiangjiang has the ability to take over the Jardine Group. There is only the Li Group with strong financial resources.

After Niubijian discovered this problem, he didn't immediately launch a counterattack. Li Guangyu was still in Xiangjiang, and Jardine was not yet fully prepared.While letting the group start raising funds, he began to pay attention to Li Guangyu's movements.

When Li Guangyu left Heung Kong on April 4, Newbigan immediately convened a board meeting of Jardine Matheson Group, and arranged for Li Guangyu to snap up the shares of the group, and asked the group to sell Wharf, Heung Kong Electric and Heung Kong Telephone The group must be in their own hands.

Jiali Deshaun, chief financial officer of Jardine Group, said: "Chairman, if we snap up the shares of the three groups at the same time, our group's financial resources are seriously insufficient, and our current liquidity is at most able to deal with the snap-up of one group's shares. "

Due to the rapid expansion of the Jardine Group over the years, the group does not have much liquidity, and many or even many of its subsidiaries do not have a controlling stake.After these days of raising money this time, it was less than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Newbijian said: "I will contact Standard Chartered Bank and ask them to provide us with support in response to the snap-up of our group by the Lee Group."

The reason why Niu Bijian did not contact HSBC this time, but contacted Standard Chartered, was because he was afraid that the news would leak out. The relationship between HSBC and the Chinese consortium was a little better, and Standard Chartered was more at ease.

The senior management of the Jardine Group naturally has no objection to Newbijian asking for help from Standard Chartered Bank. This time, the Li Group is aggressive, obviously trying to swallow several major groups under the Jardine Group. Without the help of the bank, their current flow Funds cannot compete with Li's Group.

Niu Bijian said: "This time Li Guangyu went to Crewe, our homeland, to attend the signing of the agreement for the acquisition of Bentley Motors. I have already received news from the local area that the acquisition of Bentley by the Li Group cost 11 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is a great deal for us. Very beneficial."

……

In the afternoon, Niu Bijian went to visit the Taipan Wang of Standard Chartered Bank and obtained a loan of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars from Standard Chartered Bank.

While Li Guangyu and the others were discussing the Jaguar issue in Coventry, at nine o'clock in the morning on April 4th, Newbigan presided over a high-level meeting of the Jardine Matheson Group and arranged for this counterattack.

Niu Bijian said: "This time, the acquisition of the shares of several of its subsidiaries is under the full responsibility of the chief financial officer Wei Jiali. We must win the controlling stakes of several of the groups and let the Chinese families like Xiangjiang see that the enterprises under our Jardine House are not They can buy it."

Niu Bijian also found that the deterrence of the Jardine Group in Hong Kong seems to have decreased. Before that, Li Ka-shing snapped up Wharf, and later the baker king also wanted to take over Wharf. This time, Li Guangyu even wanted to eat his own company. The three conglomerates, really think that Jardine is a sick cat.

After receiving the arrangement from Newbigan, Wei Jiali Deshaun immediately arranged for people to snap up the stocks of several groups.

Tianyu Investment Company arranged personnel to keep an eye on the movements of the Jardine Group. When the staff of the Jardine Group snapped up several group stocks in the stock market, they immediately reported to Guo Fengtao.

Guo Fengtao didn't dare to neglect, and immediately went to Li Xuemei's office of Xingyu Group to report the situation to him.

Li Xuemei asked: "Guo Sheng, how many shares have our company acquired from the two groups?"

Guo Fengtao replied: "Ms. Li, now our company has acquired 17.3% of the shares of Heung Kong Electric Group, and the shares of Heung Kong Telephone Group are 16.5%."

Li Xuemei said: "How much liquidity does your Tianyu Investment Company still have?"

"Ms. Li, now we still have nearly 30 billion Hong Kong dollars in liquidity, and the current market value of Heung Kong Electric Group has risen to more than 68 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Heung Kong Telephone Group has also reached more than 63 billion Hong Kong dollars. As for Wharf, it has risen to more than 48 billion Hong Kong dollars. More than [-] billion Hong Kong dollars." Guo Fengtao said.

For the Jardine Group's counterattack this time, Li Xuemei is also prepared. Since Jardine already knows that her group is snapping up the shares of his group, there is no need to cover it up now.

Li Xuemei said: "I will mobilize another 20 billion Hong Kong dollars to your company. From now on, you will try your best to snap up these two groups, and don't let Li Sheng's arrangement go to waste."

Guo Fengtao heard that Li Xuemei mobilized another 20 billion Hong Kong dollars for the company. He is now full of confidence. The company has nearly 50 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. He is not afraid of the Jardine Group.

Guo Fengtao said: "Ms. Li, don't worry, I will definitely buy these two groups into the Li Group, and I won't let Li Sheng's arrangement of several months fail."

Li Xuemei said: "You go back to the company to make arrangements now, and I will notify Jiayi Group to carry out publicity. We will increase the price of each share by one layer to snap up the stocks of these two groups. Add one Hong Kong dollar to the price to ensure the success of the snap-up this time.”

Guo Fengtao said: "Okay, I'll go back and operate."

After Guo Fengtao left, Li Xuemei immediately took out the phone next to her and called Xiangyu Group.

"Hi, hello, I'm Zhou Liangshuyi."

Li Xuemei said: "Ms. Zhou Liang, I am Li Xuemei. You should immediately ask the finance department to transfer 15 billion Hong Kong dollars to Tianyu Investment, and at the same time inform the reporter of Xiangyu Daily that we will publish in tomorrow's newspaper that Tianyu Investment has purchased Xiangjiang Electric and Lighting at a high price. News about the stocks of the two groups of Heung Kong Telephone."

As soon as Zhou Liang Shuyi heard what Li Xuemei said, she knew that the Jardine Group must have already made some moves in the market, otherwise Li Xuemei would not let him disclose the news and snap up it at a high price in the market.

Zhou Liangshuyi said: "Ms. Li, I will arrange these matters immediately, and the financial department will immediately transfer the funds to the Tianyu investment account."

"Well, you can make arrangements, and I'll hang up first." After Li Xuemei finished speaking, she hung up Zhou Liangshuyi's call.

Later, Li Xuemei called Liu Tianci of Jiayi Group.

"Hi, I'm Liu Tianci."

"Liu Sheng, I'm Li Xuemei. You should immediately ask Jiayi TV to broadcast a news that our Tianyu Investment Company has purchased the shares of Heung Kong Electric and Heung Kong Telephone Group at a price higher than the market price." Li Xuemei said.

"Okay, Ms. Li, I'll make arrangements right away. Do you have any other orders?" Liu Tianci said.

"Go and make arrangements, I'm fine." Li Xuemei said.

After Li Xuemei hung up on Liu Tianci, she immediately came to the financial office of the group.

Seeing Li Xuemei coming in, Chief Financial Officer Tao Guihong got up and said, "Ms. Li, hello."

Li Xuemei said: "Guihong, you immediately arrange to transfer 5 million Hong Kong dollars to Tianyu Investment Company."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away," Tao Guihong said.
