After Xia Yu gave the order, Wang Qi acted immediately and began to integrate the relevant business intelligence of the Kadoorie family. At the same time, holding Xia Yu's order to integrate the stocks of the companies involved in the Kadoorie family within the Jiuding Consortium.
Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Securities Company, and Jiuding Insurance Company under Jiuding Financial Group have strong financial strength and have all carried out investment business, and stock investment is the most common one.
Not to mention that Chairman Xia Yu has pointed out that Hong Kong stocks have been in a bull market in recent years, and he can confidently invest in the stock market.
Therefore, these companies have been scanning the stock market one after another, but all blue chip stocks are not let go, and they hold many and mixed stocks.
Among them, there happened to be the equity of two listed companies involved in the Kadoorie family.
They are Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group and China Light & Power Co., Ltd.
As for the Heung Kong Carpet Co., Ltd., another pillar of the Kadoorie family established in 1961, as well as other companies in the real estate, construction, and dyeing and printing industries, none of them are currently listed, and the Kadoorie family basically holds more than 50% of the shares. It is even wholly-owned, so it cannot be controlled at all.
Of course, some listed companies with a small amount of financial investment by Kadoorie & Sons Investment Co., Ltd. are another matter. They cannot be regarded as industries under the Kadoorie family, so they are not considered.
...
"Norman, you stayed in the UK for two months. I haven't seen you for a long time. It was great to see you!"
Upon arriving at the Shi Yahuai family mansion in Victoria Peak, Roland Kadoorie met the helm of the Taikoo Consortium, who was more than ten years younger than him, and greeted him enthusiastically.
Norman Shiya had a full smile on his face and the same enthusiasm: "Yes, it's been a long time, Roland, let's put things here, please sit down!"
"Thank you!"
"Is it still black coffee? Are you sure not to add milk?"
"Of course, you know me, I like the bitter taste of black coffee, just like savoring life."
"OK, unique taste, please wait..."
Soon, the two of them drank coffee and started chatting.
"Roland, why are you free to come to me today?"
Taking a sip of coffee, Norman Shiya asked with a smile.
Foreigners speak quite directly, not as subtle as the Chinese, and like to go around in circles.
Norman Shiyahuai would certainly not speak in advance if the opposite was a rich Chinese man, but since he is a friend and ally Roland Kadoorie, it is a different matter of course.
Hearing Norman Shi Yahuai’s questioning, Roland Kadoorie swallowed the black coffee in his mouth, with a bitter expression on his face, sighed unconcealedly, and looked at Norman Shi Yahuai and said: "Norman, I am The next time I came to ask you for help, I was in a big trouble."
Norman Shiya frowned, sat up straight and asked, "Rolandz, the strength of your family can be ranked in the dozens of places in Xiangjiang. Why are you in trouble?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Norman Shi Yahuai flashed a flash of light in his mind and blurted out and asked, "Is it Xia Yu?"
Roland Kadoorie was taken aback. He didn't expect Norman Shiyahuai to guess it so quickly. He didn't bother to ask how he guessed it. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, he came to me. No, exactly It’s trouble for us."
"Before I came, Wang Qi of Jiuding Securities approached me and wanted to buy all the shares of HeungKong Telephone Company I held, and the purchase price was reduced to 17 Hong Kong dollars per share, which is a bully!"
"Seventeen Hong Kong dollars per share?"
Norman Shiya frowned, staring at Rolandz Kadoorie and asked again.
The latter nodded and said that he was right, and flicked: "I don't want to sell at all, and we are allies. The Xiangjiang Telephone Company is now controlled by Swire Group. Of course, I can't stabb you from behind, so I just refused. ."
"Before leaving, Wang Qi used threatening words to let me think about it for two more days. Where would I think about it? No, I just came to you."
"By the way, I have learned about the share price of Xiangjiang Telephone Company before I came here. Now it has fallen to HK$15.8 per share, and it has fallen by nearly HK$20 in just a few days."
"Shuit!"
Hearing this, it was Norman Shi Yahuai who was over 60 years old and still couldn't help but explode.
This is a curse from heaven!
He was originally caught up in the public opinion turmoil these days, which made him annoyed. Yesterday he went to the Governor's House to explain to MacLehose.
At the same time, he has to endure the pain of the stock price plummet of Xiangjiang Telephone Company.
Who knows that Roland Kadoorie has brought another bad news now that Xia Yu actually moved his mind to Xiangjiang Telephone Company.
As the largest shareholder of HeungKong Telephone Company, Swire Group holds 24.5% of the shares.
Just like Roland's Kadoorie considered, even though the stock price of Xiangjiang Telephone Company plummeted, Norman Shiyahuai was not in a hurry and never thought of selling the stock.
After all, after the Jardine consortium was dismembered and eliminated, HSBC was eliminated. Now Swire Group is the first consortium of Hong Kong's British capital.
All restrictions are relaxed, and only HSBC and Jiuding Consortium are weighing on the Swire Group.
Therefore, no matter how the share price of HeungKong Telephone Company drops, it is difficult to have any impact on the Swire Group. Swire Group has the capital to wait and spend time to kill the impact and let HeungKong Telephone Company's share price rise again.
When Xia Yu used Jiuding Securities to recoup his losses, Norman Shi Yahuai had some guesses, but he was not sure where he started. Now he learned that the target is not Dadong Telegraph Company Xiangjiang Co., Ltd., but Xiangjiang Telephone. The company, his mood is completely beeping.
It's a troublesome thing to get into conflict with the Jiuding Consortium again.
"Norman, how are you going to respond?"
Seeing Norman Shi Yahuai's complexion stopped changing, Rolandz Kadoorie immediately asked, staring at the former closely.
Norman Shiyahuai sighed and said helplessly, "Rolandz, do you think we can retire?"
Roland Kadoorie immediately shook his head: "No!"
Norman Shiyahuai nodded and said to himself, "Yes, no, the Jardine Foundation has been completely dismembered, and now it has completely disappeared in Xiangjiang. After more than a year, the Jiuding Foundation has also digested the foundation. Acquired company."
"Because of the Jiuding Consortium, the strength of the Chinese consortium has increased dramatically in the past two years."
"I don't know how many people are staring at us, both openly and secretly. As long as we show fatigue, we will easily be troubled to come to us.
Hearing this, Roland Kadoorie felt the same, saying: "It is all to blame for the Jiuding Consortium for opening this Pandora’s Box. The Chinese capital has been much more courageous, and they have formed alliances with each other. The degree of unity is not as good as before. The pressure is increasing day by day!"
Of course, if it weren't for this reason, the British consortium and family that had been fighting separately would not get together and secretly formed the Hong Kong British Alliance headed by Swire Group.
No way, who would let the Jardine Consortium be dismembered and wiped out of the four major British consortia, and Hutchison Whampoa was annexed, leaving only the Swire Consortium and Wheelock.
But Wheelock is still stuck in a quagmire now, and he is too busy to take care of himself, and his strength is also inferior to the Taikoo Consortium. The position of the leader of this alliance is naturally the Swire Consortium.
As for HSBC, which is the strongest in the true sense, there is no need to mention it. It was directly excluded by Hong Kong's British capital.
For Shen Bi, a traitor who only had money in his eyes, completely ignored their interests, and wanted to deal with Chinese capital, many of them were very angry.
Shen Bi must be aware of this, but he judges that the future of Heung Kong lies with Chinese capital. As the chairman of HSBC, he only needs to be responsible for all shareholders. Naturally, interests are paramount. Any conflicts of interest, he can Don't want to blend.
"Then Norman, do you mean that you will not sell the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone Company?"
Facing Roland’s Kadoorie’s questioning, Norman Shiyahuai nodded without hesitation and said, “Of course, let them do what they do. I’m definitely not selling it anyway.”
Roland Kadoorie smiled immediately and said, "That's good."
"The Swire Group holds 24.5% of the shares, and we hold 15.8% of the shares, bringing the total to 40.3%."
"The Hong Kong government still holds 20%. The Hong Kong government will definitely not sell it. As a result, the upper limit of Jiuding Securities' acquisition is only 39.7%, which is also unable to fight us."
"Not to mention that HeungKong Telephone Company has at least 15% of the equity in the hands of other British-owned families."
Norman Shi Yahuai obviously thought of this, so he smiled and said, "Yes, we can't fail in theory."
"Although other people hold equity, they may not be able to withstand the pressure of the Jiuding Consortium. They may sell the stock but it doesn't matter."
Roland Kadoorie immediately seized the opportunity and sold miserably: "Norman, others can't stand the pressure, even I can't stand the pressure and have to come to you."
"You also know that in the financial field, the strength of the Jiuding Consortium is terrible. It can grow because of its unrivalled financial strength."
"Now the Jiuding Consortium has strong capital. If you trouble me in the stock market, the trouble will be great. Norman, Shen Bi can't rely on it, and I can only trust you in Xiangjiang."
"Why not, in order to facilitate your control of the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, and also for me to keep the China Light and Power Company, we will exchange shares between us. I will transfer the shares of the Hong Kong Telephone Company to you, and you will hold the China Light and Power Company. Transfer to me, and I will use cash to make up the difference. What do you think?"
At this time, Roland Kadoorie finally revealed the fox tail.
Norman Shi Yahuai's face changed, and his deep gaze fixed Rolandz Kadoorie, who was as thick as a city wall and kept the expected smile without any guilty conscience.
