Chapter 299： The old bottom of the Jardine Foundation

Not long after returning to the office of Jiuding Newspaper, Xia Yu received another piece of good news. Lin Shanyuan and others had already made a clear analysis of the status of the Jardine Consortium.

Xia Yu couldn't wait to come to the economic research room and found Lin Shanyuan.

"Xia Sheng, this is the compiled information."

Seeing Xia Yu striding in, Lin Shanyuan smiled, picked up a large pile of materials that had just been packed, and handed it to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu took it with a smile, flipped through it at random, and probably had a bottom in his heart.

He smiled and said, "Professor Lin, your efficiency is very fast!"

Lin Shanyuan smiled heartily when he heard the words, and explained: “Jihe’s volume is too big, and there are many companies under it. When working on "Economics" before, the Jardine Consortium was the focus of research. Most of these materials are very good. I’ve collected it a while ago, otherwise, I’ll find it in a few days."

Xia Yu nodded silently, shook the information in his hand, and said to Lin Shanyuan: "Keep busy, I'll take a look!"

"Xia Sheng walk slowly!"

After getting the information, Xia Yu returned to his office and began to understand the details of Yihe.

Although this stack of data has been cut and screened by the Economic Research Office, it is still at least one centimeter thick. This shows that the Jardine Consortium is complex and powerful.

Not much to say, Xia Yu took a sip of tea and checked it quietly.

"Shasha...shasha..."

In the sound of the paper rubbing, time passed quickly, and two hours passed without knowing it.

"Xia Yu, do you want to take a break and take a look, your eyes will not be able to stand it for so long."

Seeing Xia Yu blinking his eyes vigorously, Li Qian, who stayed quietly reading a book, came over and said distressedly.

"It's okay, I just finished watching!"

Xia Yu said with a smile, then closed his eyes and thought.

Li Qian saw this and walked behind Xia Yu to help him press his temples.

Feeling the soft and warm touch from the back of his head, Xia Yu's heart loosened, and he turned around playfully, causing Li Qian's chest to tremble violently.

"Oh, make a fool of yourself again, don't move, okay?"

Li Qian endured the strangeness and said slyly, but did not stop the movement of her hand, and continued to help Xia Yu relax by pressing the temples.

Xia Yu didn't make any fuss anymore, quietly enjoying Li Qian's comfort, his brain turned frantically, and the companies and related information of the Jardine Department were skipped in his mind.

The Jardine Consortium is indeed the biggest giant in Hong Kong. It has a huge number of companies involved in all walks of life, and has reached out to thousands of households.

Although on the ranking list, the Jardine Group, which can best represent the strength of the Jardine Consortium, only ranks second, below HSBC.

But if you really think that the current HSBC Bank is stronger than the Jardine Consortium, it would be a big mistake!

The market value of the Jardine Group is not as high as that of HSBC, but there are also many companies listed under the Jardine Matheson Group, such as Land Corporation, which is ranked fifth, Wharf, which is ranked 28th, and more than a dozen in the top 100. the company.

Between one hundred and five hundred, there are dozens of companies established by or under the Jardine Group!

Although most of them are equity participation and a small part of the holding, in terms of influence, Jardine Group is indeed no worse than HSBC!

In terms of finance, Jardine Insurance has 46% of its shares, ptbank.permatatbk, the sixth largest bank in Indonesia, and some other banks and securities companies with equity participation.

In terms of retail department stores, the most obvious is the Dairy Company, which originally belonged to Chinese merchants, but was snatched by Jardine in 1972 and then privatized.

The Dairy Company owns a lot of land. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the King of Xiangjiang Land. However, most of the land has not been used. Instead, it is used for retail department stores. The first supermarket in Xiangjiang was opened by the Dairy Company.

In terms of machinery manufacturing, Jardine Machinery Group, established in 1923, specializes in providing electrical, mechanical and construction technology service providers, providing products and procurement, contract engineering and technology for the building, energy, transportation and infrastructure industries. Services, business all over Asia, is one of the core enterprises of the Jardine consortium.

In terms of construction engineering, the landmark is the subsidiary Golden Gate Construction Co., Ltd., which was also snatched by Jardine. It was privatized in 1975. The famous Golden Gate Building in Hong Kong was rebuilt after Golden Gate Construction bought the Golden Bell Barracks. The Golden Gate Construction is currently The main contractor of many construction projects in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region is commonly known as a large contractor.

In the automobile manufacturing and trading industry, there is the Jardine Motors Group, which is mainly engaged in manufacturing, which has Indonesia’s largest automobile manufacturer and motorcycle manufacturer; and Renfushang Co., Ltd., which operates automobile distributors, which sells automobiles. And the service sector ranks among the top three in Hong Kong, and its strength is very strong, but it is worth mentioning that Renfu Co., Ltd. was also acquired by Jardine in 1973.

In terms of real estate, let alone, the Land Group and Wharf Group, Jardine's left arm and right arm.

In addition, there are two major property management companies: Zhibang Property and Yicao Property; in addition, they have also invested in some real estate companies in Southeast Asia.

In terms of shipping, there are three most prominent companies, Jardine Shipping, Jardine Air Cargo Terminal, and Jardine Airport Services, which have outstanding presence in various fields.

In terms of catering, the Jardine Catering Group belongs to Jardines. Both KFC and McDonald’s have been taken over by the Jardine Catering Group. Therefore, the Jardine Catering Group is also a dominant player in the field of catering services!

In addition to some of the core companies mentioned above, Jardine Matheson has also participated in many companies.

Since entering 1970, Jardine has made great strides in its development, acquiring, grabbing, and annexing other companies. At the same time, it has continuously established new subsidiaries. Although the financial situation has become tight, it is undeniable that the strength of the Jardine consortium has also exploded. Has grown in style!

However, although the strength of the Jardine consortium is strong, Xia Yu is not afraid, because Jardine has many weaknesses!

Jardine bought everywhere, where did such a large sum of money come from?

Part of it is bank loans, part of the profits of the company's business operations, but part of it is the proceeds from listing of its subsidiaries!

Cashing out will reduce the equity of the company under its control, but it will not allow the company to lose control, so Jardine has adopted a cross-holding approach.

The Jardine Group is controlled by Jardine Holdings, and the Jardine Group controls other companies.

In addition, Jardines Holdings also holds a part of the equity of Jardines Pacific; while Jardines Pacific also holds a part of the company, and Jardines Pacific holds part of the equity of Jardines Holdings.

In this way, under the cross-shareholding , it is possible to achieve control of its subsidiaries while holding a small portion of the equity.

But after all these years, there are still problems!

If according to historical development and the rapid development of Chinese business strength, the Keswick family discovered the crisis and established the third holding company Jardine Strategy in 1980, allowing Jardine Holdings, Jardine Strategies, and Jardine Pacific The company cross-holds shares, maintains its rule, and resists acquisitions by Chinese businessmen.

But now it is 1978, and the Jardine strategy has not appeared, so naturally there are opportunities.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu has selected two sniper targets. These two targets are not difficult to operate and are not small in size, but they are within Xia Yu's tolerance and are both the core enterprises of the Jardine Consortium. .

By that time, as long as you do it, you can definitely make a joke!

"These are the two goals!"

Xia Yu picked out the information of the two targets, looked at the names on them, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
