Chapter 375： Target Goldman Sachs

Besides, after John Keswick returned to his residence, he saw his eldest son Henry waiting there.

When seeing his father's expression relaxed, Henry Keswick couldn't help showing an expectant smile and asked: "Father, did you succeed?"

"Well, Li Yao agreed! Now we can arrange for someone to sign the contract!"

Old John sat down and said, his tone was equally relaxed and cheerful.

"It's great. With the shares in Temasek Holdings, plus our original shares, we have 44.19% equity! It should exceed the Galaxy Fund by more than 10%."

Henry Keswick said with a smile, letting go of a heart that had been hanging for many days.

Old John also smiled when he heard this data.

The absolute holding line in the bureau is less than 6%, which is much safer than the absolute holding line which is more than ten percent worse.

"Then father, after we take the stock, should we announce the news to the public?"

Henry Keswick asked.

Old John smiled, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, “Don’t make public announcements. Now that it’s this level, it doesn’t matter whether the stock price is suppressed or not. The important thing is to complete the absolute holding first, and then give them a fatal blow.”

"I have already negotiated with Li Yao. After we take the equity, Temasek will continue to negotiate with Jiuding Securities to confuse them."

Henry Keswick heard the words, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

He will not forget that Xia Yu wants to seize control of the Jardine Machine Group from them. If the equity is exposed, two things may happen.

either scared Xia Yu back and attacked the estimate, or forced Xia Yu to be completely crazy and grab stocks at all costs.

If it is the second possibility, it will be greatly disadvantaged for them.

So to be on the safe side, it is better to temporarily hide in a dark place, the enemy will show the darkness, take the initiative, and finally launch a fatal blow to completely repel the invader Xia Yu.

At that time, the situation will reverse, and it will be much more convenient to clean up Xia Yu!

……

Old John and his son thought so well, but they didn’t know that Xia Yu already knew that they had taken the stake in Temasek Holdings.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu saw Wang Qi's inquiring eyes and said lightly: "Depending on the situation, the shares in Temasek Holdings have been taken by the Keswick family."

Despite having a hunch, Wang Qi's heart sank unconsciously after hearing the news from the boss.

This is bad news, and it has wiped out their good mood for taking the shares of Xiangjiang Bank of China.

After all, they only took 2.54% of the total share capital when they took the shares in HeungKong Bank of China.

But the Keswick family won 5.24%, more than twice the amount they won.

In this way, the gap between the two is even wider! It is likely to have an adverse effect on the plan!

"Boss, do we think of a way to get a shareholder?"

Wang Qi asked in a voice.

Xia Yu condensed his eyebrows slightly, and his brain turned frantically.

Thinking in another way, after taking the equity in Temasek Holdings, the Keswick family will definitely breathe a sigh of relief. This is not what Xia Yu wants to see.

If the Keswick family is not in a hurry, how can they be forced to buy the equity in his hands?

Even if Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang and others are about to act soon, the Galaxy Fund does not threaten the Keswick family enough, and it may experience twists and turns to achieve its goals.

This is definitely not good!

The Keswick family must be forced to put the preservation of the Jardine Machine Group first, then the Keswick family must be threatened enough!

"Then take another shareholder!"

Xia Yu's eyes became sharp, and he said solemnly.

Wang Qi got a shock and blurted out: "Boss, which one shall we take?"

There are still four difficult shareholders, namely Cummins Inc., which holds 6.37% of shares, Nomura Securities, which holds 4.99% of shares, Daiwa Securities, which holds 2.76%, and Goldman Sachs Group, which holds 2.49%.

These four companies are all rocks in the pit!

At no cost, they can’t afford the stock in their hands! Wang Qi has a deep understanding of this after several days of negotiations!

Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, meditated for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Wang Qi scorchingly, and said: "Take Goldman Sachs!"

"Goldman Sachs?"

Wang Qi was taken aback, and was surprised that his boss would even target Goldman Sachs, which has the least shares.

But if you can win Goldman Sachs, the gap with the Keswick family can return to the same starting line.

"When the time comes, you will accompany me, I can take it down, we only need to..."

Xia Yu told Wang Qi about his plan. Wang Qi's eyes were getting brighter and brighter. After listening to it, he couldn't help but admire: "Boss, according to your plan, it is really possible to win the equity of Goldman Sachs. I can think of it, it's amazing!"

Xia Yu smiled faintly, and calmly accepted Wang Qi's flattery.

……

"Mr. James, hello!"

"Hello gentlemen!"

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Wang, hello! Welcome to you!"

In the lobby of the Hong Kong branch of the Goldman Sachs Group, Xia Yu took Wang Qi and Li Wuming to greet each other with the senior executives of the Goldman Sachs Group headed by James Richard.

"Please come in!"

After the greeting, Xia Yu and others followed James Richard and others upstairs to the small conference room.

This conference room, in addition to being used for high-level meetings of Goldman Sachs, has another function as a temporary reception hall for important people. UU Reading

Obviously, in the eyes of James and other Goldman Sachs management, Xia Yu is a heavyweight.

After sitting to each other, Xia Yu and Wang Qi sat on the left, and James Richard and other three Goldman Sachs executives sat on the right. The two people were facing each other, clearly distinguished, just convenient for conversation.

While Xia Yu was looking at James Richard and others, James Richard was also observing Xia Yu and Wang Qi, of course, the focus was on Xia Yu.

James Richard is placed in the entire Goldman Sachs Group in the United States and can only barely be regarded as a high-level person, but in Xiangjiang and even Southeast Asia, it is indeed a proper branch leader.

Limited by the development status of Southeast Asia, the Goldman Sachs Group pays less attention to it. Therefore, the entire Southeast Asia region has set up a branch, located on Hong Kong Island, responsible for the affairs of the entire Southeast Asia.

And James Richard, the general manager of the branch, has a very high degree of freedom. As long as he does not involve a large amount of investment, he can directly make a decision.

Just like now, for the 2.49% equity of the Yihe Machinery Group that Xia Yu came to think, James Richard can also sell or not sell on the spot!

What's more, it was James Richard who decided not to sell the shares and wanted to take a bite of his idea.

"Mr. James, coming this time, I have a business I want to cooperate with you."

Xia Yu spoke first.

James Richard smiled and pretended not to know what was going on. He smiled in a respectful gesture and said expectantly: "Mr. Xia, this is the honor of our company. I don't know what kind of cooperation is it? "
