Chapter 376： Goldman Sachs was sold and had to help Xia Yu count the money (2

"Mr. James, your company's strength in corporate mergers and acquisitions is among the best. I heard that as long as your company handles the acquisition business, it will almost never fail."

When Xia Yu's flattering words were uttered, James Richard was really taken aback. Xia Yu played his cards completely unreasonably, completely different from what he thought!

But without letting James Richard continue to wonder, Xia Yu paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"So this time I came here especially because I wanted to entrust your company to help me buy some stocks!"

After speaking, Xia Yu looked at James Richard with a smile.

Upon hearing this, James Richard knew in his heart and knew what Xia Yu wanted to do.

"Mr. Xia, are you buying shares of Jardine Machinery Group?"

Although he had already guessed, James Richard asked solemnly.

"Yes, I would like to entrust your company to help me purchase the shares of the Jardine Matheson Group from companies such as Cummins, Nomura Securities, and Daiwa Securities."

Xia Yu nodded slightly, said affirmatively, and looked at James Richard with scorching eyes.

James Richard's heart beats and his spirits rise instantly.

After all, according to the requirements that Xia Yu has already stated, at least a transaction of several hundred million Hong Kong dollars is involved.

Such a transaction is already a heavy transaction for the Hong Kong branch of Goldman Sachs Group. According to the normal commission, there are also tens of millions of profits. Can James Richard ignore it?

Customer is god!

Xia Yu throws such a big cake, James Richard’s attitude instantly becomes enthusiastic.

"Mr. Xia, thank you very much for your trust in our company. We have a certain degree of confidence in this business, but I don't know what detailed requirements you have?"

James Richard asked expectantly.

Yuer got the bait!

Xia Yu smiled in his heart.

However, he did not answer his question as James Richard expected. Instead, he made a look of enlightenment and asked: "Mr. James, I just remembered it. It seems that your company also has a part of Yihe. Machine Group's stock?"

Seeing Xia Yu’s somewhat exaggerated acting skills and hearing his words, James Richard’s smile gradually reduced and returned to his shrewd look. After a few seconds of looking at Xia Yu, he nodded slightly and said: "I remember our company is Some stocks."

Speaking of this, James Richard stopped talking, waiting for Xia Yu to speak.

It's just that he also began to think about whether to sell the stock to Xia Yu.

In fact, after Xia Yu spoke, James Richard knew that what Xia Yu threw in front of him was the bait, and it was also a condition, otherwise he wouldn't stop talking while talking.

Whether the entrusted acquisition of the business can follow, the key depends on whether their stocks are willing to sell to Xia Yu.

If it is sold, then the flatbread thrown by Xia Yu will naturally belong to them.

If they hold the stock and don't sell it, then this drooling heavy business will slip away from him.

James Richard originally planned to continue to hold stocks, but obviously now he has to make a choice!

The eyes met with the high-levels on the left and right sides. The two high-levels next to him slightly nodded and expressed their attitude. James Richard's eyes flashed and he made a decision in his heart.

Look at the price, as long as the price is right, combined with the subsequent pie, as long as the overall benefit is greater, it can still be sold!

"Mr. James, I want to buy the shares of Jardine Machinery Group in your company. I don't know what conditions your company has?"

Xia Yu asked straight into the subject, speaking very blatantly, without covering up.

After finishing speaking, Xia Yu looked at James Richard quietly, waiting for his reply.

James Richard said with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Xia, I can't do this alone. We need to discuss it, please wait!"

After finishing speaking, James Richard stood up and walked outside, and the other two executives also left.

"Please! Waiting for your good news!"

Xia Yu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of asking, and said with a smile.

Then, they saw James Richard leaving the small meeting room.

"Boss, it looks like it should be fine."

Wang Qi, who has been silent all the time, couldn't help but said with a smile.

Xia Yu smiled faintly, nodded slightly and said, "If I were them, I would sell it!"

Xia Yu and others were not allowed to wait for a long time. After a while, the door of the small conference room opened again, and the three James Richards walked in again.

"Mr. Xia, the shares of Jardine Machinery Group can be sold to you."

Hearing this, Xia Yu smiled a little to express his gratitude, and then quietly listened to the next conditions.

"But you also know that the Jardine Machinery Group's share price still has a lot of room to rise, and you can't let us lose out, so we hope the price is 110 Hong Kong dollars per share!"

James Richard said calmly, hearing this price, Xia Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

James Richard is really a lion!

On Friday, the closing price of Jardine Machinery Group was only 78 Hong Kong dollars per share, and now he actually bid 110 Hong Kong dollars, a premium of 41%!

The price is fierce!

Without Xia Yu speaking, Wang Qi knew that he was going to be a black face and sing double reeds with the boss. He said coldly and without hesitation: "Mr. James, the price is too high, we are not taken advantage of!"

James Richard still smiled without embarrassment. Instead, he shrugged and said softly: "Mr. Wang, this price is determined after discussion by our company. It is the will of our entire company. In fact, I also think It's cheaper, but I'm really sorry, you can't let us lose, right?"

James Richard is not bad for his ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, he easily pushed away the pressure, trying to block Wang Qi and Xia Yu's bargaining.

But such a high price is absolutely impossible for Xia Yu to accept.

So Wang Qi continued to retort: ​​"Mr. James, at this price, we can take the stocks of other companies. Presumably Cummins and Nomura Securities are also willing to sell. We don’t need to buy the stocks in your hands. Business is no longer needed."

Wang Qi also used a killer to remind James Richard by acquiring business.

The price of 110 Hong Kong dollars per share is really not necessarily able to win the shares of other companies, but if Wang Qi says that, James Richard has no way to refute it. Can he prove it?

……

After a fierce battle, the stock price was finally negotiated, from 110 Hong Kong dollars per share to 95 Hong Kong dollars per share, a premium of 21.7%.

But if you agree to this price, Goldman Sachs is also conditional!

Xia Yu will use the binding regulations, and of course James Richard will use it too!

That is, the shares of the Jardine Machine Group in the hands of Goldman Sachs can also be sold to Xia Yu, but Xia Yu must also hand over the entrusted acquisition business to Goldman Sachs and sign an agreement at the same time.

"Mr. James, first of all thank your company for your help, then next, let's talk about the commissioned acquisition."

Xia Yu first thanked him, and then mentioned the heavy acquisition business that James Richard was thinking about.

"Mr. James, I am willing to offer 120 Hong Kong dollars to entrust your company to purchase the shares of Jardine Matheson Group!"

Xia Yu smiled and threw a blockbuster.

James Richard was shocked, and then his face was happy. He never thought that what he had just squeezed the price was so generous and gave such a high purchase price!

He is already mentally prepared to continue negotiations with Xia Yu, but now the price has completely exceeded his psychological expectations, and there is no need to talk about it!

The fixed purchase price of 120 Hong Kong dollars per share!

completely exceeded the 50% premium!

This means that their operational profit margin is 42 Hong Kong dollars!

If the price they acquired is lower, they sell it to Xia Yu at a price of 120 Hong Kong dollars per share, the higher the profit they will get!

Including the stocks in Cummins, Nomura Securities and Daiwa Securities, the theoretical maximum profit is 270 million Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, this profit limit is the case when Goldman Sachs bought the stock at a price of 78 Hong Kong dollars. If the price of the stock that Goldman Sachs bought from them is higher, the intermediate profit Goldman Sachs will get is lower!

How much profit you can get depends on the ability of Goldman Sachs!

"Mr. Xia, we took this business!"

James Richard said without hesitation, as if afraid of Xia Yu going back.

Who knows, just as James Richard was smiling, Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said: "Mr. James, don't worry, we are also qualified for such a high price!"

James Richard narrowed his smile, looked at Xia Yu solemnly and said, "Please speak!"

Xia Yu still has the conditions, but James Richard is more at ease. He is like Xia Yu!

"Our purpose in acquiring the shares of Jardine Machinery Group is to complete the acquisition and seize control from Jardine Holdings."

Xia Yu said slowly, and James Richard nodded in agreement.

is indeed the truth, which he cannot refute.

"Your company also knows that Jardines Holdings is now the largest shareholder with a very high shareholding and is very close to the absolute holding line. If Jardines takes the lead in completing absolute holdings, our acquisition will fail."

"So this means that we have to complete the absolute holding of Jardine Machinery Group before Jardine Holdings."

"If our acquisition fails, then the entrusted acquisition agreement will be terminated directly!"

Xia Yu spoke plainly, but James Richard nodded solemnly, apparently agreeing with Xia Yu's conditions.

He subconsciously believes that this is Xia Yu urging Goldman Sachs to help acquire the stock as soon as possible.

But from the bottom of his heart, he also wants to help Xia Yu complete the acquisition as soon as possible.

Because the longer the delay, the acquisition will fail and the agreement will be abandoned, the stock price will be higher, and the intermediate profit Goldman Sachs can obtain will be lower.

"Mr. Xia, rest assured, we will do our best to help you buy stocks."

James Richard promised.

"That's good!"

Xia Yu said with a smile.

After the negotiations are settled, the next step is to sign the agreement.

Before long, two different agreements were drawn up and signed.

94.62 million Hong Kong dollars bought 2.49% of the shares of Jardine Machine Group in the hands of Goldman Sachs, and went directly to the bank to clear the money.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Xia Yu shook hands with James Richard and congratulated each other.

"Mr. James, I will trouble you to worry about it next!"

Xia Yu reminded again.

"Mr. Xia, please rest assured, we will do our best!"

James Richard once again solemnly promised.

"Looking forward to your good news!"

After that, Xia Yu made it easy for James Richard to say goodbye, and took Wang Qi into the car and left.

"Boss, you're so amazing. Turn James Richard around."

In the car, Wang Qi said admiringly.

"Haha, you cooperated very well, and they didn't let them find the flaw."

Xia Yu said with a smile.

Xia Yu’s entrusted acquisition agreement was never intended to make it successful from beginning to end. The purpose of this agreement was to lure Goldman Sachs into the bait, let Goldman Sachs spit out the stocks that he held tightly, and at the same time act as a **** for him.

Although outsiders always thought that Xia Yu wanted to **** the Yihe Machine Group, Xia Yu did not deceive others and deceive himself into it.

He always kept in mind that he just wanted to snipe a fortune and at the same time replace 30% of the Jardine Insurance Consulting Group's shares in the Jardine Consortium.

He has received news that the nine big Chinese are strong, and a few have completed the preliminary preparations, and the remaining few will soon be completed.

This means that collective action is about to take place.

By then, the sky will fall apart, and the Jardine consortium will definitely panic.

And Goldman Sachs would never expect that they would have less than two days left. In these two days, even with the strength of the Goldman Sachs Group, it is impossible to take down the three hard bones of Cummins and the two securities companies of the island country.

As long as Xia Yu secretly completes the exchange with the Keswick family, the entrusted acquisition agreement with Goldman Sachs will automatically terminate, and the 120 Hong Kong dollars he promised will become a flower in the mirror.

If Goldman Sachs suddenly gets a part of the stock, Xia Yu will also fulfill the agreement, answering that the stock price of 120 Hong Kong dollars will be used to buy it, and then it will be sold to the Keswick family?

Goldman Sachs couldn’t sell the shares to the Keswick family for 120 Hong Kong dollars If Xia Yu bid 120 Hong Kong dollars, if the Keswick family did not want to lose the Jardine Machine Group, they had to hold their noses to buy Come down!

Of course, if Goldman Sachs fails to buy any shares in the end, Xia Yu will also offer them 5 million Hong Kong dollars for hard work. James Richard has nothing to say, but he has to thank Xia Yu for his generosity.

After all, the agreement signed between Xia Yu and Goldman Sachs did not mention that Xia Yu was not allowed to sell stocks to the Keswick family.

This loophole was completely ignored by James Richard and others subconsciously. After all, they were completely deceived by Xia Yu, thinking that he really wanted to acquire the Jardine Machine Group.

Even if this was not proposed, the 5 million that Xia Yu prepared to pay after the failed acquisition was taken from Goldman Sachs. Adding this 5 million to it, it is equivalent to 100 Hong Kong dollars per share to buy Goldman Sachs Jardine Machine Group's stock.

If there is no entrusted purchase agreement, Goldman Sachs would definitely not be willing to sell the shares of Jardine Machine Group to Xia Yu at a price of 100 Hong Kong dollars per share.

But now, Goldman Sachs not only sold the stock at a stock price of 95 Hong Kong dollars, but also blended into the Jardine Machinery Group’s stock competition in a third-party way to stir up the muddy water and make Kai The Serk family could not take the shares of Cummins and other three shareholders.

can be said to be helping Xia Yu work, delaying time for Xia Yu and preventing the Keswick family from completing absolute control.

Looking at it this way, Xia Yu went to the Goldman Sachs Group, and he was full of routines. He sold Goldman Sachs, and Goldman Sachs was helping him count the money, and he had to thank him for his humanity!
