v3 Chapter 1477： Hunting S·G·Warburg Company

In the S·G·Warburg company, Terrence Warburg is presiding over the board of directors meeting to discuss and study the countermeasures to overcome the difficulties.

After falling deep into the vortex of losses, S·G·Huabao was abandoned by many investors.

In this week alone, the company's outflow of funds reached 224.15 million pounds, and more investors are applying for withdrawal, so that the company's already tight capital chain has become even tighter.

When the company had been making money before, it didn't matter how Terrence Warburg managed it. The directors of the company supported his decision.

But when the loss is severe, that's not the case.

Even if S·G·Warburg is strictly an asset of the Warburg family, the management and control rights of the company are in the hands of the Warburg family!

Although the shareholding of other directors may not be very high, their social influence or background will never be bad.

Otherwise, it is impossible for them to enter the board of directors of S·G·Huabao Company.

These directors have also brought abundant social resources to S·G·Huabao Company because of their shareholding relationship and boosted the growth of S·G·Huabao Company.

One more thing, many of the directors here were brought in by Terrence Warburg and his father at the time, and they are all veterans.

Therefore, Terrence Warburg must take care of the emotions of these directors.

"Terrence, now the company has reached a very dangerous situation. We have been severely targeted and suppressed in the stock exchange market, futures market and national debt market, but we do not have sufficient funds to fight against. Without capital, we will lose resistance. Ability, the consequence is the loss of our market position."

A director from West Germany said grimly.

S·G·Huabao is a top securities dealer in the United Kingdom, and is also the top three issuer of government bonds, and the top three stock secondary market placement underwriters in Europe.

As for the futures market and other businesses, it also has a pivotal position.

In the past, S·G·Huabao was able to continuously consolidate and fight for the market by relying on its accumulated market reputation, huge funds and powerful operating methods.

But now, the reputation of S·G·Huabao has collapsed and the capital chain has tightened. It is no longer able to maintain the framework built in the past by only relying on business methods.

"Yes, I also have a very bad news here."

"We have been eliminated from the ranks of underwriters for BP. This feast has nothing to do with us. All the preparations we have done before are wasted."

Another director told a bad news, making everyone sitting here look ugly.

BP is a giant company. The British government has carried out shareholding reforms before, but the progress is not thorough.

This year the British government decided to let British Petroleum enter the stock market. This will be a gluttonous feast in the eyes of all financial companies. S·G·Warburg has made a lot of preparations for this.

Just now...

"Is there no chance?" a director asked unwillingly.

"There are opportunities, but the meaning over there is to let us not rush, the specific list of results and shares will change later, at least there are still two months."

It was just this explanation that made everyone's face even more ugly.

Isn't this just to make it clear that they are not optimistic about them, and let them focus on getting through the difficulties first.

"Terrence, can the Rohill family provide financial support?"

The director from West Germany couldn't help it, and raised this very sharp question.

Facing a pair of sharp gazes, Terrence Warburg sitting on the top can only pretend to be calm, calming everyone and saying: "Please rest assured, the funding problem will be resolved."

"But the company's interests are everyone's. I hope that when the company is facing a crisis, everyone can mobilize their own resources to tide over the difficulties with the company."

"Especially the company's internal operating conditions and financial conditions, I hope everyone can keep it strictly confidential, otherwise we will all be finished together."

For a time, everyone here has different minds.

…

After the meeting.

Terrence Warburg hurried back to the office alone, and made several calls to Evelyn Rohill, but no one answered them. He was restless and could not sit still, and set off directly to the Rohill family. .

What he didn't know was.

People from Bright Fund have already contacted other minority shareholders of S·G·Huabao Company.

The first to be found was Peter Hofbauer from West Germany, a little German man who was over sixty years old.

The Hofbauer family is a large family in Bavaria, West Germany, and the Hofbauer family is also one of the shareholders of West German Yubao Bank.

As soon as Peter Hofbauer left the headquarters of S.G. Warburg and wanted to return to West Germany, he received an unfamiliar call from Curtis Dubois of the M&A department of the Bright Fund. A meeting place was also reported, which was a coffee shop in the City of London area.

Peter Hofbauer only thought for two minutes, then ordered the driver to the meeting place.

"Mr. Peter Hofbauer?"

"Yes."

"Hello, my name is Curtis Dubois, deputy manager of the M&A Department of Bright Fund. I'm so glad you can come to the appointment."

"Hello!"

After simply shaking hands and saying hello, the two went to a corner of the coffee shop and sat down. As for the subordinates they brought, they sat not far away.

After each ordering coffee, it will take some time to come up.

But Curtis Dubois said straightforwardly: "Mr. Hofbauer, you must understand the purpose of my appointment with you, so I will just say it."

"I want to acquire 2.14% of the shares of S·G·Huabao that you hold."

Peter Hofbauer stared at Curtis Dubois blankly for a long time before slowly saying: "To be honest, I don't want to sell this equity."

"S·G·Huabao Company is our top partner of Yubao Bank. As a shareholder and director of the two companies, this equity is not just a paper value."

Curtis Dubois smiled and directly pierced Peter Hofbauer's lie.

"Mr. Hofbauer, listen to what you mean, this time S.G. Huabao Company failed to attack Xiangjiang, and the bad consequences caused by serious losses also affected Yubao Bank?"

Peter Hofbauer shook his face. The strongman was embarrassed and said decisively: "Of course not. I mean that S.G. Warburg has close cooperation with Yubao Bank in the West German market."

"Moreover, I want to emphasize that the attack on the Heung Kong Capital Market is led by Rothschild Investment Bank. Although S.G. Huabao has participated, the degree of participation is not deep, and the actual impact is not as bad as the outside public opinion described. "

"As for where the public opinion comes from, I think Mr. Dubois should know better than me."

Curtis Dubois didn't care about Peter Hofbauer's rebellion.

He continued with a smile and said: "Mr. Hoffbauer, we all know how much S.G. Warburg Company has lost. Although I am not a director of S.G. Warburg Company like you, but in financial In the world, a lot of data can be analyzed. There is no need for completely detailed data, just one is probably enough."

"Isn't it?"

"Moreover, if S.G. Warburg's situation is very good, I don't think we can chat here now, what do you think?"

Peter Hofbauer couldn't hold his face completely, and stared at Curtis Dubois with some irritation, and said: "Mr. Dubois, I don't think we need to continue talking. I decided to meet you. wround choose."

After that, Peter Hofbauer thought of getting up and leaving.

Regardless of whether he pretended to be a posture or not, Curtis Dubois had to verify it. Anyway, what he said must have worked, that's enough.

He hurriedly got up to apologize and dissuade him: "Mr. Hofbauer, I'm sorry, there are some problems with my language, please forgive me."

Sure enough, Peter Hofbauer hesitated a few times and still did not leave.

Upon seeing this, Curtis Dubois must have felt that he knew that this matter was basically settled, and the next question was the price.

"Mr. Hofbauer, please make a price. We sincerely want to acquire the equity of S.G. Warburg."

"As for the cooperation between S·G·Huabao Company and Yubao Bank, I want you to rest assured that it will not affect it at all."

"Although our Bright Fund has been in West Germany for many years, we need more partners because our business has been growing. If you are willing to connect, I think our Bright Fund will be happy to cooperate with Yubao Bank."

The steps are wide and good, and Peter Hofbauer, who doesn't want to be dragged down by S.G. Warburg, made a decision in his heart.

However, he still holds a glimmer of hope to see if Bright Fund really knows the true situation of S·G·Huabao.

So he refused the first offer, and asked:

"How much do you plan to pay?"

Curtis Dubois smiled slightly and quoted a price: "Twenty million pounds!"

Peter Hofbauer turned dark and immediately retorted: "This is impossible. The price is too low and is seriously inconsistent with the market position and size of S.G. Warburg."

Curtis Dubois shook his head and said: "S·G·Huabao has lost more than 4 billion U.S. dollars, and now it has been withdrawn by a large number of investors. Although S·G·Huabao is not listed, its valuation It will definitely not exceed 800 million pounds. Our bid of 20 million pounds is already a premium."

Peter Hoffbauer continued to refute: "It can't be a valuation of 800 million pounds, and S.G. Warburg did not have such a serious loss..."

"..."

Soon, the coffee came.

The two have drunk the coffee all the time, and there is no consistent result yet.

Finally, Curtis Dubois suddenly said: "Mr. Hofbauer, I can buy your equity for 25 million pounds, which is equivalent to a 50% premium."

"And if you do us a favor, we are willing to pay you another million pounds."

Peter Hofbauer's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "What's busy?"

Curtis Dubois raised his mouth slightly, and slowly said: "Accepted by the media, he announced that it was a loss, and admitted that S.G. Warburg does have a huge hidden risk."

Peter Hofbauer's eyes became extremely deep, and UU Read www.uukānshu.com looked straight at Curtis Dubois, who kept smiling and stared at him.

After a long time...

Peter Hofbauer only spoke, and what he said made Curtis Dubois smile.

"One million bank is not enough, I want three million pounds!"

"Yes!" Curtis Dubois agreed.

Peter Hofbauer's mouth twitched: "I seem to have offered a lower price."

Curtis Dubois smiled and said: "No, the bottom line the company gave me is three million pounds. Since you were so sincere in negotiating with me just now, then I will give you everything I can."

"Oh ~ maybe." Peter Hofbauer laughed at himself and shrugged.

He set the price, and since the other party agreed, then he can't go back.

Next, it is naturally a happy time to sign the agreement.

But the cafe is not suitable.

Peter Hofbauer went directly to the headquarters of the Bright Fund with Curtis Dubois and signed an equity transfer agreement.

In the afternoon of the same day, 2.14% of S.G. Warburg's equity was taken by Bright Fund, and 28 million pounds of funds were transferred to the account designated by Peter Hofbauer.

During this period, Curtis Dubois learned from Peter Hofbauer about the most real situation in the S.G. Warburg company. The latter had abandoned Terrence Warburg and naturally knew everything. answer.

And Peter Hofbauer also accepted an interview with the "Financial Times".

This interview news, after being published in the newspaper early the next morning, immediately stirred up a stormy sea!

S·G·Warburg was pushed to the forefront, and Terrence Warburg panicked completely.
