Reborn Tycoon Rise

"It's not interesting, I just don't agree!" Xu Zhi looked at Simon Keswick, took a document from Wang Liming, and said: "This is an official certificate issued by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Evergrande Group currently holds We own 26.3% of Land's shares and are one of Land's largest shareholders. Mr. Keswick also held objections just now, and with the shares in his hands, I think we already have a veto power."

"26.3%!"

When Simon Keswick heard this number, his heart twitched violently, and his eyes were fixed on Xu Zhi like an eagle.

The shareholders and journalists in the audience even exploded. The 26.3% equity stake has shown that Xu Zhi, the richest Chinese man in Hong Kong, has sharpened his sword and pointed at Jardine Matheson Group.

Jardine Matheson is the largest conglomerate in Hong Kong, and its Land Land is the land king among the land kings in Hong Kong. In this era of decline of British capital and rise of Chinese capital, many Chinese companies are very coveted by Land Group, but they are too thin. A camel is bigger than a horse. Even though Real Estate has encountered the biggest crisis in a century, its market value is still as high as 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. Even Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang and the like are unable to do anything.

The only person speculated by the media to have the ability to take action is Xu Zhi's consortium. However, Xu Zhi has just acquired Disney in the United States. Although Hutchison Whampoa has made a lot of money, it is also preparing to invest in several large-scale projects. In theory, it should not be able to do so. Then launch an attack on the Jardine Department.

But unexpectedly, Evergrande Group acquired 26.4% of the shares without making any announcement. With such a large shareholding ratio, it can be said that half of the acquisition has been completed. If it were not for the weirdness of Yizhi Mutual Controls structure, Xu Zhi might have acquired more equity already.

For some shareholders, they hope that Xu Zhi can continue to increase their shares, so that once a general takeover offer is triggered, these people can escape unscathed.

Ignoring the chaotic scene below, Niubijian took the document from Xu Zhi's hand, turned it over twice, and said: "The document is true. Xu Sheng does own 26.3% of Land's shares and is Land's largest shareholder."

Niubijian deliberately used the word "biggest" in a strong tone. Simon Keswick, who was next to him, frowned immediately after hearing this.

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Now that my equity is confirmed, then with Mr. Keswick's equity, the financing proposal should be considered rejected, right?"

"Xu Sheng, don't be in a hurry." Niubijian smiled and said, "Ximen, it's still early, you can think about it slowly before making a decision."

Simon Keswick was silent for a moment after hearing this. Rejecting the proposal with Xu Zhi would give a wrong signal to all the shareholders present. They would think that Xu Zhi has dominated Land, but if they agree to Newbijian, they will not As for whether Xu Zhi has any plans, if the British Foundation really comes in, his family will become the third largest shareholder of the Jardine Group.

After the two villains fought in his mind for a while, Simon Keswick still couldn't make up his mind.

Someone in Newbigan ignored Simon Keswick next to him and said to Xu Zhi: "Xu Sheng, Land's current problems are so serious. If we don't accept financing, I'm afraid it won't be able to survive until next year. I don't know that Xu Sheng is our major shareholder." , can the Bank of East Asia lend another low-interest loan to Land, so that Land can tide over this difficulty?"

"Niubijian, sometimes being overconfident in oneself is a very idiotic behavior." Xu Zhi looked at Niubijian and said, "You can simply sit back and enjoy the results, but you insist on doing it yourself. I'm very curious. You How sure are you?"

"This kind of thing is either a success or a failure, but no matter what, if you just sit back and enjoy the results, you might as well work hard." Niubijian said lightly.

Xu Zhi smiled and shook his head: "I originally wanted to give you a chance to be like Ma Shimin, but since you don't appreciate it, forget it."

Simon Keswick listened to the conversation between the two and obviously understood the meaning. Niubijian had obviously known Xu Zhi's intentions for a long time, and the two had negotiated, but now it seemed that the two sides had not reached a consensus.

So he walked up and said, "Xu Sheng, can we talk alone?"

Xu Zhi looked at Simon Keswick and said: "If you want to sell me the Jardine shares in your hand, then we can talk about it and forget about the rest!"

Simon Keswick's face was ashen and he said: "Xu Sheng, Yihe is the ancestral property of our Keswick family. If someone really wants to get involved, I will never give up!"

"What? Just let you Yihe get involved in the Zhou family's milk company, so others can't get involved in your Yihe?" Xu Zhi said lightly: "What's more, the largest shareholder of Yihe is me now, who doesn't own Yihe?" Surely?"

After saying that, ignoring Simon Keswick, Xu Zhi said to Newbijian: "Given the current situation of Jardine and Land, of course they need financing, but the so-called British fund may have money, but it cannot provide Jardine with money." The company’s operations provide enough help, so even if you want to raise funds, you have to find a company that has the ability to help Jardine and Land get out of trouble, rather than just picking one at random.”

"So, Xu Sheng can provide enough help to Jardine and Land?" Niubijian certainly understood that Xu Zhi was talking about himself.

"Of course." After Xu Zhi finished speaking, he walked directly to the seat on the rostrum and sat down, regardless of other people's eyes, and smiled into the microphone: "This seat is not bad!

Everyone, I think you all know me, so I will be straightforward. Jardine Matheson and Land Group are currently in a debt crisis and urgently need external funds, and I happen to have too much money in my hands.

Therefore, I hope that Jardine Land and Jardine Matheson Land can increase Evergrande’s holdings to 34.9% through a directional share increase plan. This will provide Jardine Matheson Land with a certain amount of funds to get out of the company’s current predicament. "

"Xu Sheng, you already hold close to 30% of Land's shares. Even if the financing reaches 34.9%, even if you add the financing from Jardine Matheson Group, it will bring at most 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to our company. I'm afraid this is far away. It’s not enough to solve the company’s debt problem, right?” Newbijian said with a smile.

"That's right." Xu Zhi also nodded in agreement: "That's more than 34.9%."

"More than?" Niubijian was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

"That's what I mean." Xu Zhi waved his hand and said: "According to Xiangjiang's laws, once the shareholding ratio exceeds 34.9%, a comprehensive takeover bid needs to be launched. In other words, I will privatize the entire Land!"

The voice followed the microphone and spread throughout the audience. Everyone was stunned. Although they knew that Xu Zhi would forcefully acquire Land, everyone thought it was a battle for equity. No one thought that Land would actually be privatized!

Niubijian also looked at Xu Zhi in disbelief and asked: "Xu Sheng, given Land's current scale, privatization will require at least more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. You..."
