I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

  Chapter 475【Take the Wharf Lightly 2】

  In mid-February, Jardines didn’t know why it was out of consideration, and made a private appointment with Wu Guangyao, saying that he wanted to'talk'.

  So the two sides sent representatives to negotiate privately. Wu Guangyao and Shi Jun met with Jardine's representatives Henry Keswick and Niu Bijian.

  As soon as the negotiations started, Henry Keswick was straightforward: "Mr. Wu, if you are willing to transfer the shares of Wharf in your hand, are we willing to exchange the property in the Central District?"

  Wu Guangyao was taken aback, but he did not expect that Jardine Matheson would come up with this trick!

  This shows that Jardine International has retreated and is scared!

   Actively ask for negotiation, which means that they also expected that they would not be able to win;

  That’s why they adopted the “peace negotiation” strategy, which undoubtedly exposed their weaknesses.

  However, it is impossible for Wu Guangyao to agree to this request!

   Out of a test of the Land Corporation, Wu Guangyao said: "If Land Corporation exchanges the Prince's Office, Alexandra Building, Gloucester Tower, I can transfer the shares to you!"

  After Wu Guangyao said it, there was no reason to fear in his heart, what if Henry Keswick agreed!

  Although these three buildings are located in the heart of Central, they are also invaluable. They were also obtained by Wu Guangyao's dream, but they seem to be inferior to Wharf!

  Of course, if you really agree, Wu Guangyao will also agree;

  People do not stand without faith!

  If these three buildings are taken down, Wu Guangyao can permanently dominate the Central District, and even let the Hong Kong government plan a pedestrian bridge, and then connect all these buildings together to become a Wu Kingdom.

"Impossible! Mr. Wu's tone is too loud! These buildings are all located in the heart of the Central District, and the Land Company will never be able to sell!" Henry Keswick's face was deep, as if he was not Wu Guangyao's identity, afraid I can't hold back my anger a long time ago.

  Wu Guangyao still had a smile on his face, and even joked: "It may not be true! Land Company is a listed company, how can it be said that it is not for sale!"

  Henry Keswick's expression flashed by like a frightened bird, but he calmly said: "Mr. Wu can give it a try, LANDMARK will definitely let you retreat!"

  Henry’s expression flashed by, Wu Guangyao still caught it. It seems that Jardine Land’s shares will not exceed 35%!

  However, Wu Guangyao has no intention of killing all. Hong Kong Island needs Chinese capital, British capital, and investors from all over the world;

  Wu Guangyao is a native of Hong Kong Island, so he must naturally consider the future of Hong Kong Island!

  Wu Guangyao spread out his hands, pretending to say: "Since Mr. Henry said this, maybe I will really try it, but this is a future thing!"

  Henry hadn’t spoken yet, Wu Guangyao went on to say: "It seems that I have no more talk today!"

  New Bijian saw that Henry Keswick was still angry, and quickly replaced the negotiation, saying: "Mr. Wu, we can buy some houses in the Mid-Levels, a house in Baijiadao, and some land in exchange."

  Wu Guangyao waved his hand directly, interrupting Niu Bijian's speech.

"Two, tell you the truth! I am determined to win the Wharf; if I are you, I still want to transfer the shares in my hand to me and take the money to rebuild the building in the central district. This is the real wisdom." Wu Guangyao said. It can be said that I am thinking about Jardine International Holdings, after all, I don't want to have too much trouble with Jardine International!

  If at this time, Jardine Matheson is willing to sell 18% of the Wharf shares in its hands, then it can make a profit of about 6,000 to 700 million Hong Kong dollars.

  HK$6.7 billion, but it is higher than the market value of Wharf beforehand!

  Henry Keswick unsurprisingly rejected Wu Guangyao’s proposal. This round of confrontation was fruitless and broke up unhappy;

  It can be said that the relationship between the two parties has become very tense. I am afraid that at the next board meeting, the speeches of the board of directors will be recorded every sentence.

  Both parties are acquiring shares in Wharf in the market, but no matter how stockholders are not stupid, they will never let go until the final moment of the battle;

   Therefore, both parties are very slow to acquire;

  But the two sides do not want to have a big decisive battle too early, because this requires a lot of funds;

  Being able to buy a little in the public market can reduce a certain loss, after all, the stock price is still low!

  Like this kind of acquisition battle, the moment of the decisive battle is the highest value of the stock price, so naturally the less the shares of the acquisition variance, the better!

  On February 24, Wharf Group held a board of directors. Wu Guangyao, Shi Jun and Rong Bensheng attended the meeting as directors.

   "Mr. Wu, as an important director of the Wharf Group, you need to inform the board of your recent travel plan to deal with the company's emergencies!" Henry Keswick said.

  Wu Guangyao was taken aback, how does Henry Keswick relate to his schedule;

  In fact, at the beginning of March, I had a very important meeting, which was the meeting of the International Tanker Association in the United States, and Wu Guangyao was the chairman of this association and had to attend.

  Wu Guangyao is also very worried that Henry Keswick will initiate an acquisition as soon as he gets on the plane;

  At that time, although I have a team on Hong Kong Island, but after all, there is one less prominent figure, which is still beneficial to Jardine Matheson.

  The gentleman was magnanimous, Wu Guangyao generously stated his itinerary;

  Because the relationship between the two parties was tense at this time, there was a recorder to record every sentence of both parties, and Wu Guangyao's words were naturally recorded.

  Wu Guangyao finished his itinerary and raised his head, only to find that Henry was staring at him, with a strange smile on his face and obedient eyes;

  Wu Guangyao knew that Henry Keswick would never be at ease, and might launch a general attack after he left.

  But, who is a wolf and who is a sheep is still unknown!

  Without Wu Guangyao on Hong Kong Island, is his team really a mess?

  On Friday, February 28, Wu Guangyao boarded a plane bound for the United States from Kai Tak Airport.

  This move was naturally perceivable by the intentional Jardine Foreign Company, and a conspiracy against Wu Guangyao was immediately launched.

  Henry Keswick held a press conference that evening;

  At the press conference, Henry Keswick was energetic and confident that he would win with one blow!

  Jihe Yangxing has laid out four lines of defense:

The first line of defense, Jardine Matheson purchased an additional 19% of the shares, so that Jardine Matheson’s shares in Wharf Group reached 49%; this is a brilliant move that can be attacked and retreated, and it can avoid a 50% full-scale acquisition. The tipping point of Wu Guangyao can also make Wu Guangyao in a dilemma.

The second line of defense, Jardine Matheson, at the press conference, gave the conditions: Jardine Matheson is willing to price two shares of Hong Kong Land Company at HK$16 (the split plus the stock price after falling), plus a face value of 34. Hong Kong dollar unsecured bonds, a total consideration of 50 Hong Kong dollars per share, exchanged for one Wharf stock.

  The third line of defense is that Wu Guangyao went to the United States, and Wu Guangyao who stayed on Hong Kong Island had a group of dragons without a leader; plus the time was Friday, the next two holidays would be two holidays, and Wu Guangyao's first line of cash would be greatly restricted.

As the fourth line of defense, Jardine Matheson raised Wharf’s share price to HK$50 per share, while the original share price was only HK$28, a sudden surge of more than 70%. If Wu Guangyao uses cash, it will be a test; China Everbright Bank also There may not be so much cash.

  The series of counterattacks by the Yihe Foreign Company came so quickly, so suddenly, the Chinese on Hong Kong Island scolded the Yihe Foreign Company for insidious tricks.

  Wu Guangyao really does not have a back move?

  At night, in the meeting room of Everbright Securities, a group of people are organizing a meeting!

  These people are all Wu Guangyao's executives, but they have a particularly young face.

  "Xianshuo, don't be nervous! The boss gave you a kit!" Rong Bensheng said kindly.

  A group of executives looked at Wu Xianshuo with monks. The boss went to the United States to participate in the event, but quietly called the eldest son back;

  When the boss left, he said to everyone: "In fact, even if I no longer on Hong Kong Island, you will be successful. However, I still hope that my son will follow you and see this kind of scene."
