Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 643 Peace talks?

At 2:30 p.m., Hong Kong stocks opened.

This is the last trading session of the week as today is Friday.

The decisive battle begins!

In the largest VIP room of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the four giants are integrated together. Behind the three rows of dedicated computers placed along one side of the wall, everyone is absent.

Clap clap clap clap!

Traders' fingertips dance across their keyboards.

Because a tender offer has been made, the purchase price is temporarily fixed, and the "bag mouth" has been opened. Investors who want to sell can just sell, which is more convenient to operate.

However, Li Jiankun also understood that this wave of "pulling the bag to receive goods" would not last long unless the Schwaiya family gave up treatment.

Next to the wall on the other side, on the simple black leather sofa, Li Jiankun, Dong Haoyun, Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng were all there. After planning for so long and more than a month of hard work, there was no reason for anyone to miss this decisive battle.

"Boss, someone came in and raised the price!"

In less than a minute, Liu Jingyan, who was sitting behind a computer, turned her head and said to Li Jiankun.

Li Jiankun put down the white porcelain tea cup that was in his mouth and asked, "What's the purchase price?"

"Seventy-six mosquitoes."

"Open a new position and hang it at eighty."

"Yes!"

Clap clap clap clap!

It’s not that Li Jiankun misappropriated money, but that the Schweizer family’s shareholding ratio is 39.6%, which is a few points higher than their current share, so they must grab orders at a high price.

After Li Chaoren took a sip of tea, he said thoughtfully: "It's hard to say whether the finals can be completed today. When the two parties are chasing each other to bid, some calm investors will choose to wait and see."

"We have to stay ahead even if the fight is over." Li Jiankun picked up the tea cup again, a glint flashed in his eyes, "The largest shareholder of Taikoo Matheson today is none other than us."

"Boss, they're at 81!" Liu Jingyan's voice came again.

"Hang eighty-five."

Now there is no skill, only financial resources.

No matter how much money the Schweizer family can raise in their desperation, it is theoretically impossible to be richer than them.

"Boss, they're at eighty-six!"

"Hang ninety."

The instructions issued from Li Jiankun's mouth, as the traders' fingertips jumped, turned into a gluttonous feast for the investors, and also turned into a crazy knife slashing at the Schwaiya family.

Bloody storm!

Three o'clock sharp.

"Ayan, how many shares have you purchased in total?"

"About 1200 million shares."

Li Jiankun closed his eyes and estimated that the shares they held had exceeded 40%.

However, it is still too slow!

"Price increase, one hundred and fifty Hong Kong dollars per share."

"Yes!"

Snap, snap, snap, snap!

Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and Dong Haoyun picked up the teacups and clinked them, pretending not to hear anything.

It hurts!

There is no other way to compare with this speed of distributing wealth. One hundred and fifty Hong Kong dollars per share, 10 million shares equals 1.5 billion. It will take a while to burn such money, but in the system, it is just a string of numbers. If there is no shortage of sellers, it will be dispersed in minutes.

However, Li Chaoren's concerns turned into reality.

In less than an hour, as the two parties competed to raise prices, Swire & Co.'s stock price doubled. This has greatly increased the ambitions of many investors, and they have begun to wait and see, hoping to maximize the benefits of the stocks in their hands.

The sound of operating the computer in my ears slowed down significantly.

This also means that fewer investors are selling Taikoo & Co.'s shares in the stock market, and the number of selling orders has dropped significantly. Of course, it has a lot to do with the fact that there is not much left in stock.

But the bidding between the two parties still has not stopped, and it cannot stop.

The share of stocks in the hands of both parties now exceeds 40%. Any sign of weakness by either party will cause more market-circulating shares to flow to the other party, leading to unacceptable results——

One party reaches the critical point of controlling interest in advance.

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse." Dong Haoyun couldn't help but sigh, the target was naturally Taikoo.

Considering the current bleak economic situation of the other party, it is quite extraordinary to be able to hold on to them with a weak increase of one dollar at a time.

"The short market break at noon was not enough for them to raise so much funds. In addition to trading in the afternoon, the activity of raising funds must have continued." Li Chaoren analyzed.

"Jiankun, we don't have time, grab the last wave." After Bao Yugang glanced at an old Rolex on his wrist, he turned his head and said to Li Jiankun.

The latter also means the same thing. The Hong Kong stock market closes at 4pm, leaving only the last three minutes.

"Ayan, price 300 per share!"

"……Yes!"

Clap clap clap clap!

At four o'clock sharp, the Hong Kong stock market is closed.

The four giants on the simple black leather sofa stood up at the same time and walked towards the computer operating area opposite.

Liu Jingyan stood up from her seat and reported the situation:

During the opening time of just one and a half hours in the afternoon, they invested approximately HK$3.237 billion and acquired approximately 25.5 million shares of Swire & Co.'s outstanding common shares.

After hearing this total data, the traders all salivated. What did they just do? Nearly 3.3 billion Hong Kong dollars flowed through their fingers...

The four giants all had their eyes lit up, and Li Jiankun quickly calculated the results in his mind.

"It's about 48%."

Liu Jingyan's master Gong Kening tapped his fingers on the keyboard. After a while, he used accurate data to support Li Jiankun's conclusion. "48.3%."

The four giants looked at each other with excitement on their faces.

Although it's not a complete success, it's almost the same. Wait until the market opens on Monday, and then acquire 0.7% of the shares - when the shares account for 49%, and if other shareholders of the company do not hold more than 49%, they will be counted as controlling shareholders.

"The shares held by the Schwaiya family cannot be higher than ours." They were suppressing them all afternoon.

This means that Quinlan Investment has truly become the largest shareholder of Swire Pacific.

More importantly, they had the upper hand. When the market opens on Monday, both parties will enter the market at the same time. Even if the Schweizer family raises considerable funds during the weekend, there is no reason to get the controlling stake before them.

Taikoo changes hands, the trend is set!

"Let's go, I'll be the host tonight, so it'll be clear to me." Dong Haoyun laughed.

I drank until I was tipsy in the evening, and then it was a relaxing weekend. Li Jiankun didn't go anywhere on Saturday. The cat was watching TV in the manor, swimming, and watching beautiful women in swimsuits, which was quite enjoyable.

After lying down for half the morning on Sunday, I suddenly received a call from Dong Haoyun during my lunch break, saying that the Shihuai family had invited the four of them to go to Swire Bank to discuss important matters.

"Is it okay if you don't go?"

Li Jiankun pouted as he held the red landline microphone. He definitely wanted to meet with members of the Swire family, but he preferred to meet after the final game on Monday and take control of Taikoo Matheson.

"The other party's tone was quite soft. What those two people meant was that if they wanted to talk, they should be given a chance. Can we not fight the battle on Monday? After all, the stock price is too high now, and we still have to pay for the acquisition. Nearly half of the shares will be considered.”

Losing the status of the first shareholder, the company faces the risk of changing its name. These so-called gentlemen of the Eagle Country are quite fond of face. They usually choose to cash out and will not share shares with their enemies.

This is true for Jardine Matheson and Hutchison Whampoa, including Wheelock at the back.

Since the three elders agreed that they could talk, Li Jiankun had no choice but to obey. Then he called the Fugui brothers and brought two gun-toting bodyguards from the Golden Shield Security Company. The group of six people took a black business car and left the manor.

Swire Bank, seventh floor.

After the Big Four met at the entrance of the bank, they led their respective bodyguards to a leisure room on the seventh floor under the leadership of Alan Schweizer, who was specially waiting for them.

Each of the four people entered with two bodyguards, and the other bodyguards guarded the door. Li Jiankun was startled as soon as he entered the door. He saw two people, an old man and a young man, lying on the dark green carpet in the center of the spacious and bright leisure room, which was decorated like a small bar.

Miserable and miserable.

The younger one was Huo Ran, who had not seen him for a while. The two knees of his white suit trousers were blood red, as if his legs were broken. He was covered in cold sweat, and his forehead was pressed against the carpet. , actually cried into tears.

The older one is naturally his father, Hebrew Shihuaya. His clothes are messy and his usually shiny and tidy back looks like a chicken coop. His left arm hangs down uncontrollably. The sleeves of his blue shirt are also stained with blood. This arm Mostly useless.

"What's going on? You asked us to come and see this?" Bao Yugang asked angrily.

Dong Haoyun also looked unhappy.

Li Jiacheng frowned and said nothing. Neither of the two shipping kings liked this scene, let alone him.

Li Jiankun looked at the old white man standing by the window. He had never seen this person before, but he could guess his identity. He was Noah Schwaiya, the number one figure in the Schwaiya family in Hong Kong.

A bitter plot?

Still really angry?

Maybe a little bit of both.

Li Jiankun was not surprised that the Hebrew father and son would not end well. These two guys caused the core company of their family to change hands. How could the people from the sidelines let them go?

The bigger the family, the more disputes it has. This has always been the case.

"Mr. Xiao Li from Kunlan is really young and promising."

Noah's eyes fell on Li Jiankun, like a friend he had not seen for a long time, and he smiled gently and said: "There are some things I can't say, but Mr. Li was frightened, so I found some for you. See if you are satisfied. If it’s not enough…”

Noah raised his hand to signal the Hebrew father and son, making a gesture of invitation.

The latter two trembled at the same time.

Charlie still didn't raise his head, but Hebrew turned his head towards Li Jiankun, his old face with sagging skin was full of begging: "We have paid a heavy price, please be noble and let us go!"

Li Jiankun glanced away and said calmly: "Why do you have to cry and smile again? Do you really think that you are the only ones who can do this evil trick? And you are so proud of it. It seems that you have learned Chinese well. The word 'disdain' is You should understand, right? Look, I didn’t even touch you, why are you missing your arms and legs?”

He paused and said, "To be honest, I still like your unruly look."

Hebrew's throat was sweet, and he dared not spit out a mouthful of old blood. He swallowed it back and said with a face: "Yes, yes, yes, you are talking about us little grasshoppers jumping around. Your Excellency has a lot..."

Li Jiankun ignored him. He was an old dog that had lost its spine. He didn't even have the desire to step on it again. His eyes returned to Noah and asked with interest: "You don't think this can change anything, do you?"

"Of course not. It's just sincerity."

Noah was walking from the window. When he passed by Hebrew, he kicked him violently. It was embarrassing!

"In addition, we will provide 400 million Hong Kong dollars as compensation, and at the same time, we will acquire your shares at a reasonable price. I sincerely hope that you can put things to rest and you will always be friends of the Schweizer family from now on. How about it? "

Dong Haoyun sneered and said, "Sending beggars away."

The charter king said calmly: "Listening to your tone on the phone, I thought you were calling us to come over and discuss how to acquire your shares. Noah, you are just wasting your and my time."

Li Jiacheng still said nothing, and there was no need for him to say anything. The attitude of the two shipping kings was here.

Li Jiankun looked at the three elders and said, "Let's go."

The three of them nodded at the same time. When they turned around, Noah's voice came from behind again: "You really don't want to talk? If that's the case, I can only take you to meet one person."

The four giants paused slightly and looked at each other.

A person?

Noah didn't explain much, and came to lead the way. He led the four people and the vast team of bodyguards down the stairs to the third floor.

"Mr. Xiao Li, please go to the conference room and sit for a while."

When passing by a conference room, Noah suddenly stopped and signaled to Li Jiankun: "Based on your status, you are not qualified to see this person."

Li Jiankun: "..."

Well, I almost didn't make him happy.

Who is so rare?

Then he walked into the conference room with his four bodyguards, pulled out a soft-backed chair and sat down.

He could imagine that this "person" must have a great background.

But when things got to this point, even if the two major shipping kings and Li Chaoren really wanted to sell his face and planned to transfer their shares to Swire, he would not agree.

He had an agreement in hand and the situation was set. No one could stop him from taking control of Swire & Co. Ltd.

No!

This is not just a matter of personal grudges.
