Chapter 419： Win-win

After pondering for a moment, Shen Bi nodded slightly, looked at Xia Yu's eyes, and asked: "Yes, I don't know which stocks of companies Xia Sheng is interested in?"

"Milk Company, Golden Gate Construction and Jardine Auto Group!"

Xia Yu said his goal lightly, but Shen Bi frowned subconsciously.

Because HSBC does not have stocks in any of these three companies!

In the past few days, predators from all directions have rushed to bite the Jardine Consortium. They have to fight for the equity of some companies. Many people have turned to HSBC.

For this reason, Shen Bi asked people to check the shares of Jardine Consortium companies in the hands of HSBC.

He can be sure that there is absolutely no stock of the three companies that Xia Yu said.

"Xia Sheng, I'm sorry, HSBC doesn't have the stocks of these three companies."

Shen Bi said apologetically, and at the same time he had no regrets in his heart and missed these big deals.

Hearing what Shen Bi said, Xia Yu was not disappointed, and still smiled.

Of course, HSBC does not have the shares of these three companies. After all, these three companies are all private companies of the Jardine Consortium, and they have all been privatized in recent years. The equity should not have flowed out.

But since Xia Yu mentioned it, he naturally had his thoughts.

"Shen Sheng, in fact, HSBC has equity in these companies, isn't it the three of Jardine Holdings, Jardine Pacific, and Jardine Group?"

Xia Yu reminded with a smile.

Shen Bi frowned at first, a little confused, but he knew that Xia Yu's words must have profound meaning.

What are the connections between these three companies and those three companies?

After thinking about it, Shen Bi flashed a flash of light in his mind, his eyes lit up, and he thought of Xia Yu's meaning.

"Xia Sheng wants me to replace the shares of Jardine Holdings with the shares of the three companies you want?"

Although Shen Bi asked, his tone seemed affirmative.

Xia Yu nodded: "Yes, the equity of Jardine's subsidiaries is easy to sell, but no one wants the equity of these holding parent companies. HSBC wants to sell it but cannot sell it. It is better to replace it with the Keswick family. , Spin off some companies out."

Jardine Holdings, Jardine Group, and Jardine Pacific are the holding parent companies that belong to the Keswick family to control the assets in their hands, and they have very strong control over these companies.

The number of scattered shares of these three companies is very small, and HSBC and Standard Chartered may have some.

Even if these small shares are taken by other consortium bosses, they will become minority shareholders, which will not affect the will of these three companies. In the final analysis, it will be a tasteless for them.

That is, the bank holds it in its hands and can obtain stable dividends.

Now that there are more companies under the Jardine Consortium that can be robbed, why put the money in the ribs?

Other consortium bosses do not look down upon some of the shares of these three companies unless the Keswick family is willing to sell the shares of these holding parent companies.

But it is impossible to think about it!

Therefore, these shares are placed in the hands of HSBC, and their value will shrink as the number of subsidiaries under the Jardine Consortium continues to decrease.

Of course, this is not to say that these equity is useless, in fact, it is still very useful.

But it is only useful for the Keswick family.

At this critical time of survival, the major branches of the Keswick family will definitely find ways to cut off a large part of the unimportant companies, recover capital, and then try to keep some important companies, especially the equity of the three parent companies. As many as possible, so that they can achieve absolute control over their subsidiaries.

However, the Dairy Company, Golden Gate Construction and the Jardine Auto Group that Xia Yu wanted were also important companies to the Keswick family. Even if Xia Yu used tough methods, he might not be able to win them all.

So this requires HSBC to come forward and forcefully request the split and replace the shares in HSBC's hands with shares of several subsidiaries.

This kind of thing, others may not be successful, but Shen Bi came forward, the success rate is the greatest!

Don’t forget, the Jardine consortium owes a lot of money to HSBC. In these years, if there is no capital from HSBC, how can the Jardine consortium acquire the company on a large scale?

At this critical time of survival, these debts have become deadly bombs. If HSBC forced them to pay them back because of fear of risk and insolvency, they would really kill them!

So even if these companies no longer want to sell, the Keswick family will still sell them due to reality.

After all, HSBC also needs these three. In addition to these three, the Jardine Consortium also has a series of important companies such as Land Group, Jardine Machinery Group, Jardine Real Estate Investment, Jardine Shipping, and Yigo Property.

Without these three companies, after replacing the shares, the Keswick family can also collect more equity in other companies.

Looking at it from another angle, it might not be helping them streamline their strength.

Shen Bi fell into deep thought. He recalled how many shares HSBC had in the three companies, Jardine Holdings and Jardine Pacific. What was the value? Can it be changed for success, and if so, how much can it be changed?

Seeing Shen Bi thinking, Xia Yu's mouth curled up, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

Shen Bi did not refuse in a word, but was thinking, and he could see that he was tempted by Xia Yu's proposal.

This situation was expected before Xia Yu came. After all, Shen Bi is not stupid. Xia Yu's proposal is actually helping HSBC to unwind and let HSBC swim out of the vortex.

What's more, if you do this, HSBC can make a fortune.

After a long time, Shen Bi recovered from his deep thoughts and said to Xia Yu earnestly: "Xia Sheng, yes, we have taken over this business."

Just as Xia Yu smiled, Shen Bi continued: "However, I just calculated it. The equity in HSBC is not enough to completely replace the three companies you want."

It turned out to be this!

The heart that Xia Yugang mentioned was immediately let go, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it is not enough to replace it. I entrust HSBC to help me purchase the insufficiency. I don't know if it is possible?"

Hearing this, Shen Bi, who was prepared for a long time, smiled and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, we'll take it."

This is what Shen Bi wants, so that he can get these three companies with peace of mind.

It doesn’t matter if the value of the equity replacement is insufficient. When the value of the equity replacement is reached, can the Keswick family still hold a part of the equity?

HSBC wants it, but the Keswick family will sell it!

What Shen Bi did not say to Xia Yu is that HSBC can get a lot of equity without the need for replacement.

Dairy Farm, Jardine Motors Group, and Golden Gate Construction all asked HSBC to borrow money for development at the beginning, and Shen Bi could obtain shares at a low price through debt-to-equity swaps.

Using these two methods together, it is absolutely sufficient to win all the shares of the three companies.

After getting the stock at a low price and selling it backhand to Xia Yu, he can make a large profit.

But how much money you can make depends on how much purchase price you can negotiate with Xia Yu!

"Okay, Shen Sheng, let's confirm the cooperation first, please borrow the phone, and I will let someone come over."

Xia Yu drank his cup of tea in one sip, and said sharply.

"Okay, please use it. I will also arrange for someone to verify it first."

After that, Xia Yu immediately called Jiuding Securities Company and asked Wang Qi to bring his lawyer and assistants.

After Wang Qi and others arrived, the people from HSBC also arrived.

The first thing is to talk about the one-billion-dollar loan. The key to the negotiation is the loan interest rate and the proportion of the Wharf Group's mortgage equity.

These are all small issues that can be seen. After some discussions, they were quickly discussed and the two parties took the lead in signing a loan contract.

After that is the highlight!

Because HSBC did not have equity in these three companies, Xia Yu signed an agreement to entrust the acquisition.

However, it is different from the commission agreement discussed last time. This time, instead of discussing the commission ratio, we directly negotiated the fixed price at which the three companies should be sold to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu did not take advantage of HSBC Bank. After some discussions, these three companies were packaged and sold to Xia Yu at a price of 900 million Hong Kong dollars. In order to be foolproof, there was an extra 200 million liquidated damages in the clause to prevent HSBC from taking it. After arriving at the company, they were sold to others.

Xia Yu had to guard against it, because these three companies are too important to him, and there is absolutely no room to lose!

HSBC can definitely get it at a very low price, but these have nothing to do with Xia Yu. After all, this is HSBC's ability. This benefit should be obtained. He only needs to ensure that the company can get it.

Of the one billion Hong Kong dollars loan, 900 million Hong Kong dollars will soon be returned to HSBC, and the remaining 100 million Hong Kong dollars Xia Yu intends to invest in the rectification of other companies.

Under the witness of a specially invited third-party law firm, Xia Yu and Shen Bi signed and sealed on behalf of their respective companies.

Ten percent of the contract, both Xia Yu and Shen Bi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After carefully closing the contract, Xia Yu stood up and shook hands with Shen Bi to thank him: "Shen Sheng, thank you very much!"

"You are polite, it should be us thank you for your business!"

Shen Bi quickly said The smile on his face could not be concealed.

In his eyes, Xia Yu is the God of Wealth. He merged with HSBC's two partners. As long as HSBC operates reasonably, it is completely equivalent to lending Xia Yu 100 million in cash, but it has made a business of 1.9 billion. HSBC’s problem, and it can also profit from several directions.

If this spreads out, other banks don't know, Standard Chartered Bank will definitely be envious.

However, Standard Chartered Bank wants to be envious, but also not enviable. This kind of thing is done by HSBC in Hong Kong. This is based on comprehensive strength to make money.

Xia Yu knew this, so he was confident that Shen Bi would do it.

He also corrected his mentality. Although HSBC Bank can certainly make a lot of money, it is enough for him to think he does not suffer.

What's more, he didn't suffer at all, so he took a one billion loan, but he got three favorite companies and one hundred million Hong Kong dollars. How can he make money?

There is already a win-win business in this world!
