When I am reborn in Hong Kong, I just want to lie down

In the office of Li Bu, chairman of the board of directors, in the Taiping Hang Lung Bank headquarters building, Li Bu looked at the signed contract, read it once, then looked up at Yuan Taipan, then read the contract again, then looked up at Yuan Taipan again. , Yuan Daban opposite was a little embarrassed.

"Yes, we saved a lot of money. We will wait for Yihe now." Li Bu's words made Yuan Daban finally let go of his worries. When Li Bu looked at him for the first time, he was a little puzzled. He did exactly what Li Bu asked him to do. In order to get the other party to sign the contract, he worked hard. When Li Bu finally said it was good, he realized that Li Bu's eyes must have confirmed the authenticity of the contract!

There are only two main contents in the contract. One is the package acquisition of all Hong Kong businesses of Jardine Matheson for 400 billion Hong Kong dollars, including property, land, machinery manufacturing, medicine, various construction engineering companies, various retail, financial, hotel and other businesses; One is to acquire the shares of the Jardine Matheson listed companies in Hong Kong held by the Keswick family at twice the current market value.

The second item is that Li Bu has an advantage in terms of funds and is very maneuverable in the later stage. The first item is to split these companies and merge them into Li Bu's existing group, but the situation is too ugly. Now he The time has passed when you need to rely on crooked ways to accumulate capital. Should this be called killing people to build products?He didn't want to lose his reputation; the first item could buy it all once and for all.

On an ordinary Friday in late August, ATV evening news was different from usual. This time ATV announced an announcement. The content of the announcement was very simple: Jardine Matheson's holding company, the group held a shareholders' meeting, holding Heungkong Land, Heungkong Land … The following listed companies, please go to Jardine House at [-] am on Sunday. This shareholders’ meeting is very important. Please be sure to attend. If you are unable to attend for any reason, please entrust someone else to attend.

This announcement was still broadcast every half hour after the evening news had passed, and an additional sentence was added, hoping that everyone would spread the word.

That night, many people felt a different atmosphere. What was going to happen to Yihe? Last year, it was re-registered. What would happen this year?In short, this is going to be a big deal.

Not counting last night's news, the morning news was still broadcast, and today's morning newspaper and today's finance also published this announcement on the front page. Seeing that the headline was this announcement, everyone also speculated that they didn't know what happened. What, but it should be a very important matter, otherwise it would not be announced with such a big fanfare.

Today's Evening News published this news on the headlines again, and it has become news known to the whole city. Those who hold Yizhi shares are very uneasy, not knowing whether it is good news or bad news.

Sunday came soon, and people who held Yihe shares in Xiangjiang came to Yihe Building one after another. They showed their equity registration certificates and entered the conference room. They saw that many people had already taken their seats in the conference room.

"Hello, Hu Sheng!"

"Hello, Tang Sheng! Do you know what will happen today?"

"I don't know, it was very sudden."

While they were talking, a man in front turned his head. Obviously, he knew the two people behind.

"Hu Sheng, Tang Sheng, you are here too!"

"Yeah, I can't help it. I have a lot of Land shares in my hands."

"Zhang Sheng, do you know what happened this time?"

Zhang Sheng suddenly and mysteriously waved to the two of them and asked them to come closer. He looked at the people next to him. The people next to him turned their heads and pretended not to listen. His voice became quiet and formed a Quiet area.

Zhang Sheng didn't mind, he came closer and whispered: "The morning before yesterday, someone saw more than 20 cars driving towards the Jardine House. Some people saw that it seemed that Taiping Hang Lung Bank's Yuan Daban appeared at the Jardine House. and the building.”

"Is it a loan? It's impossible. A loan won't lead to such a big battle."

"Stop guessing, the answer will be revealed soon."

At ten o'clock, Keswick came to the rostrum, and some senior executives from Jardine Matheson also appeared on the rostrum. Then, he began to perform on the stage, no, he began to report: "Thank you all shareholders for taking the time out of your busy schedule. I would like to thank you all for coming to attend this general meeting of shareholders for your continued support and love for Yihe." It must be said that in order to integrate into Xiangjiang, the Yingying people have learned a lot of Xiangjiang dialect, and some are more proficient than the locals in Xiangjiang.

"Everyone is very concerned about why the shareholders' meeting is being held today. Without taking up your time, I will tell you about the voting. The day before yesterday, Taiping Hang Lung Bank sent representatives to negotiate the acquisition of all the businesses and properties of Yizhi Xiangjiang. They are very sincere. , I can’t refuse, but these assets are not owned by me personally, everyone and I are the joint owners of these properties.”

Someone raised their hand, and Keswick said, "Sir, please, any questions."

"Mr. Keswick, they offered so much that you can't refuse." A short, fat middle-aged man stood up and asked a question that everyone in the venue was concerned about.

Keswick asked him to sit down, then cleared his throat and said: "This gentleman asked very well, and this is what I will say next, all properties and businesses, 400 billion Hong Kong dollars, cash."

After he finished speaking, the large conference room was quiet for a while, and then became noisy. If this large conference room was not in the middle, the roof might have been lifted.

"This doesn't work. If they repay the bank loan like this, they won't make much money!"

"The Keswick family of Jardine will not continue to operate in Xiangjiang, and this transaction is normal."

"400 billion!? Can the other party take it out?"

"400 billion! Do they have so much money that they have nowhere to spend it?"

Li Bu, who was sitting in the last row, looked at the noisy venue, which was very quiet. He came to watch the show and wanted to know the result today.

At this time, one person started fighting and said, "Dear Mr. Keswick, is there anything else besides this plan?"

His voice silenced the venue. Keswick also coughed and said: "There is also a second one, which is for my family. If the first plan does not pass, they will use the market value at the closing price on Friday." , buy my shares at double the premium."

"Double the premium? That's still more profitable than buying a property with cash."

……

The conference room started to become noisy again, and someone stood up again and said, "Mr. Keswick, can I ask if the acquirer is willing to privatize all the shares of Jardine Matheson Land Group at double the price?"

"Yes, Mr. Keswick, you go and ask, we agree."

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Keswick."
