Global Tycoon: You Call This A Small Achievement?

141. Drive Away Wolves And Swallow Tigers, And Take Chestnuts From The Fire

Xu Le was not surprised. On the contrary, he was a little lucky to have followed such an ambitious boss.

To find food in Xiangjiang, it is not enough to be gentle and polite. In many cases, courage, skill and ruthlessness are also needed.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Le said: "The rest is fine, but it's just the Jardine Consortium?"

"You don't need to pay attention to this matter!"

He Zhou said lightly: "The top priority is to first get the stock chips scattered in the secondary market, and then form a negotiation team to connect with HSBC and win the 32% of the shares held by the other party."

His purpose is to privatize the South China Morning Post and force it to delist.

Therefore, in addition to the shares held by HSBC and the stocks scattered on the secondary market, when the chips reach a certain level, he will send people to contact other shareholders.

It is not appropriate to alert others before the "983" event.

As for the behemoth Jardine Matheson Group?

At the beginning, He Zhou was also scared, but he soon realized that his worries were unfounded!

Opening the drawer of his desk, He Zhou took out a number book and immediately dialed the number on it.

That was the private number of the charter boat king that I got from the last charity party. At the same time, the entire number book was filled with the contact information of Hong Kong's upper class.

The call was quickly connected, and soon the rich voice of the charter boat king came through the radio waves.

"Sir Bao, I haven't seen you for a few days."

"Would you like to find an opportunity to sit down and have afternoon tea together?"

"Peninsula Hotel? Okay, I'll be there right away!"

Peninsula Hotel, tea restaurant on the third floor.

"He Sheng, long time no see!" The chartering king first took the initiative to shake hands with him, and then raised his hand to pat his shoulder in a very affectionate manner.

"I haven't seen him for many days, Sir Bao is even more elegant than before!" He Zhou praised him, and then followed the other person's movements and sat down in his seat.

At this time, the chartered king secretly looked at this energetic young man.

To be honest, no matter how little information he has, he still knows how much noise the person in front of him has made during this period of time.

Young and promising was no longer enough to describe the person in front of him. He searched through his interpersonal relationships and found that there were few people who could compare with this young man, even among those of his own generation, let alone the younger generation.

Although he gave this young man a few words of advice last time out of love for his talent, even he didn't expect that in just a short period of time, he would suddenly become like a dream!

"Tell me, what do you want me to do with my boss?" the chartering king said with a smile, without any airs.

He Zhou got straight to the point: "That's right, I have a business deal, and I plan to talk to Sir Bao about it!"

"Oh?" The charter king raised his eyebrows slightly and handed him a cigar himself, "Authentic Cuban cigars. This is a good thing. Do you want to try it first?"

"Besides, there is a generation gap between us in age. If you don't mind, you might as well call me 'Uncle Bao'!"

He Zhou looked slightly startled, then took the cigar, lit it, took a puff, and shouted with a natural expression: "Uncle Bao!"

It's not a disadvantage to call him Uncle Bao. His youth is both his capital and his biggest shortcoming.

His strength has arrived, but in terms of personal connections, there is still a big gap compared with the established top rich men in Xiangjiang.

"Let's talk about it. What kind of business are you going to discuss with him?" The chartering king said casually: "If the price is right, there is nothing we can't discuss."

He Zhou pondered for a moment and then said: "If I guess correctly, Uncle Bao, you intend to hunt the Jardine He Group and swallow up the Wharf, right?"

As soon as he landed, the charter king's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a smile on his face, "Where did He Sheng get the news?"

He Zhou shook his head, interrupted the other party's speculation, and reminded him, "Uncle Bao has forgotten the Jiang family, has he?"

"The Jiang family?" The chartering king said suddenly: "You mean that boy Jiang Changchun..."

He Zhou nodded and said: "To be honest, I also hold a part of Wharf's shares!"

"Then you plan to sell it to me now?" the charter king said with a half-smile.

He didn't believe that he had such great charisma that this cunning little fox could give up the fat around his mouth.

He Zhou nodded first, then shook his head, "I would prefer that we initial a draft of the share transaction first. The specific details, haha, will be discussed in detail later.

Having said this, the purpose of his coming today is clear, which is to encourage the chartering king to start a war with the Yihe Consortium as soon as possible.

Once the charter king takes the initiative to ignite the fire, given his own strength and, as expected, Shen Bi approves a HK$2 billion loan to him, the Jardine Matheson Consortium must go all out.

By that time, how can the Jardine Matheson Group still have the energy to think about the problem of the South China Morning Post? After all, in every aspect, Wharf is countless times more important than the former.

Although the share price of Wharf is not high, it is the core asset of the Jardine Matheson Consortium. Once something goes wrong, the Jardine Matheson Consortium will inevitably suffer heavy losses!

He Zhou's move is called driving away wolves and swallowing tigers, and grabbing chestnuts from the fire.

"You win!" the chartering king said calmly. He knew that the other party was determined to defeat him. The so-called draft share transfer agreement was nothing more than clearly telling him that he would stand by his B.

As for the specific transaction price, the two parties have initially agreed on the highest price in the stock market before the acquisition is completed.

He Zhou corrected: "It should be said that this is a win-win situation."

The chartered king had more confidence, and he, He, sold his chips at the highest point.

In fact, he intends to help Charter King complete the acquisition of Wharf. Otherwise, he will pay a premium to the highest price of the stock price. Presumably, whether it is Charter King or Jardine Matheson Group,

Are willing to give higher prices.

In the next few days, the chartering king was busy finalizing preparations for the acquisition of Wharf, but at this time, the Jardine Matheson Group still knew nothing about it.

When the stock price changes attract people's attention, the news can no longer be concealed!

When the charter king saw this, he did not deny it. He simply admitted openly that he was indeed interested in acquiring Wharf, and that 2.2 already had a certain amount of chips in his hands.

The Jardine Consortium, which received the news in a hurry, was shocked and angry, and angrily accused the chartering king of being ambitious and making a hostile takeover.

As a result, before the Jardine Matheson Consortium’s statement could get any heat, another news came out that was even more exciting: Cheung Kong Holdings had officially submitted an acquisition invitation to Hutchison Whampoa!

For a time, the entire Xiangjiang was in chaos, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on these two things.

Even He Zhou was a little stunned. Unexpectedly, under his butterfly effect, Li Chaoren's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa was actually advanced.

He subconsciously touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "It seems that Li Chaoren is not as indifferent to the so-called 'firing the first shot against the British' as ​​he appears on the surface!"

However, now that the atmosphere in Xiangjiang has heated up, his opportunity to fish in troubled waters has arrived!
