Reborn Capital Madman

After Henry Keswick and representatives of the British shareholders of Jardine Matheson arrived in Xiangjiang, they checked into the hotel and were jet-lagged under the hospitality of the eager Simon Keswick... Everything was arranged comfortably and properly. Sticking is very particular.

Other travelers can rest first, but Henry Keswick must spare no effort and seize the time to exchange information with his brother Simon Keswick.

"Is Xiangjiang really going to sit back and watch Jardine Matheson being acquired by those four Chinese-funded consortiums?" Henry Keswick found it hard to believe that the world has become so cold. "According to Bauvis's design, the entire Jardine Matheson Group has basically completed its structure. Adjustment only requires a buffer time to relocate Jardine to British Bermuda. No matter how serious Jardine's losses are, I am confident that we can survive this crisis."

Simon Keswick replied with a bitter look on his face: "They want to prevent Jardine from being acquired by the four major consortiums, but they don't care about the interests and feelings of our Keswick family. As long as they can preserve Jardine's assets, they can also contribute to Far East Britain." Even if the purpose is achieved by providing profits to capital interest groups, people like Shen Bi will bring up the merger of Jardine Matheson and Land again to achieve the purpose of maintaining the British capital lineage, and there are many people who agree with it."

"Are they blind? Today's Land is different from before. It is completely under the financial control of Gaoyi. Land's payment for the New Central Land King project comes from favorable banks. If it is said to be frozen, it will be frozen. This is also Can it be considered British capital?" Henry Keswick was furious.

Simon Keswick did not stay in Xiangjiang for such a long time in vain. He would put himself in someone else's shoes and understand the current situation he had grasped. "The Jardine system is very comprehensive. When Huifeng was established, he was wary of Jardine. Jardine Matheson was not invited as a founding shareholder, and for more than 100 years, Jardine Matheson and Huifeng have been on an equal footing. Huifeng was unable to obtain a satisfactory say in the Jardine Matheson system like it did with Hutchison and Cathay Pacific. "

"From this logic, it is not difficult to understand that the merger of Jardine Matheson and Land has been brought up again. Without the traditional control rights of our Keswick family, other British capital will have the opportunity to put their hands on Jardine Matheson's assets. It’s in.”

"In that case, it's our Keswick family's fault for living alone." Henry Keswick sneered, "When I was still in Scotland, I had been thinking about these things happening around Jardine. They were changing so fast that I couldn't keep up with them. , I wonder what role Gao Xian plays in it? If Gao Xian is involved, those guys’ wishful thinking may come to nothing.”

Simon Keswick mused: "Since Gao Xian became the president of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund Administration, at least on the surface, he has stayed away from the affairs of the business and financial world. And according to reliable sources, Gao Xian is very busy. After all, he has established The military order stating that the assets of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund will exceed US$30 billion in five years is a bit exaggerated."

"Including the merger negotiations between Jardine Matheson and Land; the four major consortiums of Xiangjiang Chinese Capital launched a comprehensive acquisition offer for Jardine Matheson, with Goyi Bank providing financial support, and Goyi acted as a financial advisor; Yihe Bank froze the funds in Jardine Matheson's account in the name of the lending bank alliance, etc. When the incident came into play, Gao Xian acted like he was staying out of it."

Henry Keswick snorted, "Perhaps, this is where the talent comes in."

After Simon Keswick confirmed that none of his followers were around, he turned to ask in a low voice, "How effective are these Jardine Matheson shareholder representatives who moved from the UK?"

The tone of Henry Keswick's answer surprised Simon Keswick, because there was a clear contempt in his words, "These comfortable guys rarely leave England, they all talk rhetorically, and their thinking is still in the days of the British Empire."

I am not behind the times, and I have no idea how drastically the situation has changed in Xiangjiang, thousands of miles away. During the meeting in London, I almost made me vomit."

Upon hearing this, Simon Keswick's eyes widened, "Then you have mobilized a lot of resources to invite them to come to Xiangjiang. The expenses, including air tickets and hotels, add up to a lot of money."

"The Keswick family still has to support this scene. After all, they all have connections with nobles, parliamentarians, etc." Henry Keswick sighed, "Bringing them to Xiangjiang to fill the scene will first shock them.

The four major Chinese-funded consortiums were shocked, and the main purpose was to push British-owned interest groups in the Far East to take action to protect Jardine."

Simon Keswick was a little downcast, "But it seems like they don't care about the interests of our Keswick family."

After Henry Keswick was lost in thought for a while, he said faintly: "The interests of the Keswick family must be preserved, but they may not stick to Jardine. But before that, let's see if tomorrow's negotiations can defeat it.

Retreat from the four major Chinese-funded consortiums, such as cutting off their financial support."

Simon Keswick heard the subtext in Henry Keswick's words, and couldn't help but feel even more discouraged. It seemed that even the soul of the Keswick family of this generation had prepared for the worst.

He stood up and said: "After a long journey, you must be very tired. Take the time to get the news and build up enough energy to deal with tomorrow's negotiations."

…

Henry Keswick was a bit squeamish. Although he served as the Taipan of Jardine for several years in the 1970s, he still could not adapt to the climate here in Xiangjiang. Fortunately, after a night's rest, he recovered well enough to cope with the following tasks.

However, Henry Keswick was still troubled while having breakfast. In the newspaper he read, there was an article that vividly described how he and representatives of the British shareholders of the Jardine Matheson family spent lavishly on public funds to eat, drink and have fun.

It even listed a rough table of expenses, which really chilled investors and creditors who were eagerly looking forward to Jardine's business crisis.

It seems that Yihe is really on its last legs. It is just beating the drums. The more Henry Keswick thinks about it, the angrier it becomes. He is full of anger. We have only been in Xiangjiang for one day, and before we had time to do anything, we were set up.

Became a target.

However, I really can't take care of this episode right now. A new round of negotiations between the four major consortiums and Jardine Matheson will be held this morning.

…

Representatives of Jardine Matheson's local British shareholders looked at the heads of the four consortiums and their entourage with their nostrils raised in the sky. After sitting down with financial consultant Gao Yi and his party, they couldn't wait to treat this place as a parliament and began to talk at length, starting from why the acquisition was made.

, to deliberately lowering the value of Yihe, to the conspiracy behind it... all it takes is the audience to cooperate and make a sound of appeal.

When someone arbitrarily questioned the legality of the sources of funds required by the four major consortiums to acquire Jardine, Ye Licheng frowned and took over the words, "The funding requirements for the four consortia's alliance to acquire Jardine were mainly financed by Gaoyi. Then

So what, if business comes to your door, shouldn’t we do it?”

Having said this, Ye Licheng greeted Qin Zixin, who was sitting at the edge, "These gentlemen obviously don't understand the situation here in Xiangjiang. Please give them a brief introduction to Gao Yi. Be modest and just talk about the Xiangjiang part."

The slim Qin Zixin recounted in detail, "Gaoyi's banking group is the second largest banking group in Hong Kong; Gaoyi's securities group is the most important broker and market maker in Hong Kong; Gaoyi manages the largest joint venture in Hong Kong.

The fund has won the trust of middle-class families in Hong Kong; Gaoyi has rich experience in corporate acquisitions and restructuring, and can raise at least one billion Hong Kong dollars from the capital market in Hong Kong in one day..."

"Okay, that's it for the introduction." Ye Licheng waved his hand, motioning for Qin Zixin to sit down, and then said to the ghost guy on the Yihe side: "We originally thought that at this meeting, Yihe would propose a more competitive approach.

To counter the alliance of four consortiums with the acquisition conditions, the result is such a nutritious cliché. I would like to advise everyone, this is a waste of precious time!"

Representatives of a group of local British shareholders from Jardine Matheson did not expect that Xiangjiang Chinese Capital's attitude would be so tough, and they were choked to silence for a while.

Henry Keswick narrowed his eyes. I have an impression of this Ye Licheng. He followed Gao Xian more than ten years ago. I didn't expect that the minions would be so arrogant now!

Simon Keswick wrote on the note handed to Henry Keswick that this person was a close confidant of Gao Xian and a powerful figure in Gao Yi. He came to support the four major consortiums openly and openly, which must represent Gao Xian's attitude.

No doubt.
