Chapter 363： Ready to fight back

The Jardine consortium tried a way to deal with it, and Xia Yu naturally wouldn't watch.

Xia Yu thought with his toes and knew that the Keswick family would definitely do their best to buy the stock.

If they are allowed to increase as they wish to approach the absolute holding line or achieve absolute holding, it will be to his disadvantage.

How will he take over the shares of Jardine Insurance Consulting Group? How can we successfully acquire the Wharf Company?

It is even possible that because of the failure, the whole body will be involved, so that the Jardine consortium is relieved, and the Jardine consortium will counterattack strongly, which is bad.

So the only way is to make the Keswick family unable to achieve absolute control of the Jardine Machine Group, and in the end they can only be forced to buy shares from him.

"Wang Qi, how is the situation?"

In the office of Jiuding Securities Company, Xia Yu asked Wang Qi.

"Boss, I have sent high-level executives to buy stocks in those six companies, but as you expected, Goldman Sachs, Nomura Securities, Daiwa Securities, and Temasek Investment Co. have all opened their mouths. As for Cummins in the United States, their attitude is very firm. , Saying that the holding is related to the company’s strategy and refused to sell."

"In the end, it was Heungkong Bank of China. Their attitude was relatively soft. Instead, they proposed to deepen cooperation with us in other businesses. If we want to acquire stocks, the problem should not be big."

Wang Qi reported the situation truthfully.

"Is that so..."

Xia Yu nodded slightly and said softly, his sword eyebrows clustered slightly, thinking about it.

"In the case of Xiangjiang Bank of China, you can talk about it and buy it if the price is right. As for other business cooperation, we certainly welcome it. As long as it is pure business cooperation, you can decide directly. If some sensitive content is involved, you can ask me report."

Xia Yu pondered for a moment and said.

In many cases, business will be mixed with politics, especially for the mainland.

The status of Xiangjiang Bank of China is very special, and Xia Yu's identity and status are also very special. Now that he has the opportunity to strengthen contact with Xia Yu, Bank of China will certainly not be embarrassed by Xia Yu.

However, this is just what he meant. Even if Bank of China does not have shares in the Jardine Machine Group, Xia Yu welcomes their cooperation intention with both hands.

"understand!"

Wang Qi responded respectfully, then looked at Xia Yu quietly, waiting for the next order.

"As for these five companies, you will send people to make trouble and delay the time. The longer the delay, the better for us."

"Of course, it's best if it can be acquired at a low price. If you don't acquire it, you can raise the price hard, hang these five companies, and don't let them sell the shares to the Keswick family, understand?"

Xia Yu continued, his face was very solemn, after all, how this point was implemented is related to the series of actions that followed.

As long as they bite tightly here, it will arouse the greed of these companies, make them form wrong judgments, raise their psychological expectations time and time again, and force the Jardine consortium to make acquisitions more difficult.

Xia Yu's main purpose is to delay time, consume the patience of the Keswick family, and when Li Zhaoji and others are ready, launch a fatal blow. Then the Keswick family will absolutely jump and it is time to mention replacement conditions.

In order to save the Jardine Machine Group as soon as possible, the Keswick family has absolutely no intention of going to the Nomura Securities and other companies and can only pinch their noses to take the equity in the Galaxy Fund.

"Boss rest assured, I will definitely try my best to make trouble and hold them back!"

Wang Qi's face was solemn and firmly assured.

"Go, that's it for the time being, you quickly arrange it!"

Xia Yu said, waved away Wang Qi.

"A good show, it has just begun!"

Quiet for a long time, Xia Yu's chuckle broke the tranquility of the office.

...

Except for the Keswick family, everyone else wants the Jardine Machine Group's stock price to soar. With the concerted efforts of a group of institutions, the stock price naturally rises.

35.8 yuan per share!

36.2 yuan per share!

...

38.4 yuan per share!

The stock price has been fast for a long time, but the trading volume is pitiful, it can even be said that there is almost no.

The more so, the greater the confidence of investors and institutions, and the stronger and faster stock price growth.

By the time the market was closed at 4:30 in the afternoon, the stock price was fixed at 47.9 Hong Kong dollars, which was 20.4 Hong Kong dollars higher than the 27.5 Hong Kong dollars per share when the sniper war hadn't started. It was only a day, which shows that the stock price has gone crazy!

Fortunately, the trading rules of Hong Kong stocks are similar to those of Europe and the United States, and there is no limit on the price limit. Otherwise, if it is like the previous mainland A shares, the rise and fall are both 10%, and the stock price will rise from 27.5 yuan to 47.9 yuan. It takes at least six days to trade. day.

If you add the suspension of trading for two days every Saturday and Sunday, the time will be longer. For an acquisition battle, the longer the time, the greater the variables, which is very unfavorable for the acquirer.

The setting sun on the sea level slowly disappeared, the dark night gradually opened, and the brilliant lights gradually lit up.

Looking across from the top of Victoria Peak, it is colorful.

Old John came to the balcony, with his old hands on the railings of the balcony, staring blankly at the city under the mountain, the faint wind blowing on his face, shaking his silver hair constantly.

Henry Keswick came to the balcony unknowingly. He stopped for a long time and saw that his old father was motionless like a stone pier. He understood the pressure in his father's heart. He was a little worried and reminded softly, "Father, Stop catching a cold and go in."

Old John retracted his mind, looked back at Henry Keswick, then turned his head to look at the city below the mountain in the distance, and slowly asked, "Do you feel it?"

The father’s inexplicable question left Henry Keswick at a loss. He contemplated for a few seconds, but still didn’t know what his father was referring to, so he came to his father’s side and asked, "Father, please forgive me. Stupid, don't know what you mean?"

Old John's posture remained unchanged, seeming to answer, and then he seemed to say to himself: "The wind is a bit strong tonight, and I feel a little depressed when it blows."

Henry Keswick was silent for a long time. He comforted him and said, "Father, rest assured, victory must belong to us."

"It's hard to say..."

Old John shook his head slightly solemnly and said.

Although the evening breeze was cool, it made him calmer and thought more.

After decades of hard work in Shang Hai, he has developed a very accurate intuition. This time, he felt very bad, and his instinct told him that Xia Yu, who is like a fox, definitely has a back hand waiting for him.

And just now, Old John combed through from start to finish, and found that because he had lost the first move, he could only be passively responded by the other party's mental arithmetic , and had been led by the other party's nose.

If this continues, it will only get deeper and deeper, and step by step into the trap set by the other party, and ultimately will meet him with failure.

"We can't let things go down like that. It's too difficult to acquire enough equity."

"Moreover, the continuous annexation of enterprises over the years has caused the consortium to become bloated and loose, management has become chaotic, the capital chain has become tight, and the risk is too great."

"Even if the Jardine Machine Group is saved this time, the Galaxy Fund will be able to cash out and greatly increase its strength. It will be more difficult to deal with. If the next time the company is attacked, the trouble will be even greater, and it will fall into a vicious circle."

"The situation is too bad, and it is difficult to reverse it in a short time. We must find other ways to break this situation and get back the initiative!"

Thinking of this, Old John's cloudy eyes became sharp.

"Since you expect to defeat me in business, then I will let you know that business strength only accounts for part of the strength of the consortium!"
