Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

The Kadoorie family had already jumped out and took the initiative to issue a takeover offer to the Swire Group, and Xia Yu also realized that he couldn't wait.

He first went to count the number of shares he already owned.

Standard Chartered Bank originally held 23.4% of the equity, and then used the bank's resources to acquire a cumulative 5.2% of the equity from several small shareholders, so it held 28.6%. Of course, because of the signing of a confidentiality agreement and a ten-day buffer period, the equity of Standard Chartered Bank has not changed on the surface.

And Jiuding Bank has also won the five minority shareholders, and the secret shareholding ratio has reached 8.8%.

Finally, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. not only acquired stocks for some small shareholders, but also absorbed them from the secondary market. Of course, when investing in the previous period, it also bought some shares of China Electric Power Corporation.

Therefore, when Xia Yu asked about the situation, the shareholding ratio of Jiuding Securities Company had reached 8.1%.

According to statistics, Xia Yu's party has reached 45.5% at present, which exceeds the ratio of 11.5% of the Kadoorie family, the largest shareholder on the bright side.

Such a high shareholding ratio, completed in such a short period of time, is inseparable from the resources of the Jiuding Consortium.

The stronger the strength, the easier it is to do things that seemed rare before.

Such a high shareholding is only 4.5% away from more than 50%. If this can't be won, Xia Yu's reputation as a stock god can be thrown directly into the cesspool!

Therefore, Xia Yu gave an order and directly ordered Jiuding Securities Company to change from darkness to light, and began to work with open swords and guns.

Jiuding Securities Company directly raised the quotation of 0.2 Hong Kong dollars and placed a one-thousand-hand buy order, and at the same time made quotations to several more determined small shareholders.

In addition, Jiuding Securities Co. also initiated a takeover offer to Swire Group and intervened in the acquisition.

Seeing this situation, Norman Shi Yahuai, who had already arrived in the UK, was heartbroken when he heard his son's report.

Fortunately, he thought of the promise of Charles Rothschild, and the future of the Swire Group in the oil field appeared in his mind, and he was in a better mood.

As for the takeover offer from the Kadoorie family and Jiuding Securities Company, Norman Shi Yahuai told his son to directly reject it without discussing it.

The equity is gone.

What more to talk about!

Of course, Norman Shi Yahuai also told his son not to reveal the whereabouts of China Electric Power Company's equity, so as not to destroy the calculations of Charles Rothschild and offend the Rothschild family. After all, the Shi Yahuai family is far less powerful than Rothschild The Hill family, at this time, still has requests.

...

"boom!"

"Damn Norman Shi Yahuai, he is a traitor!"

In Kowloon, the Kadoorie family smashed into the house. Lawrence Kadoorie, who once again called and showed no answer, broke out in anger and smashed the microphone directly on the marble table. The microphone was directly broken, and he cursed angrily.

Seeing his father trembling with anger, Michael Kadoorie was very angry in his heart, but he was even more worried about his father's body, so he quickly restrained his anger and comforted his father: "Father, you have to pay attention to your body, it's already like this, so you're angry because of this. The body is not worth it."

But how could Lawrence Kadoorie calm down? He thought of the fact that he was at Norman Shiahuai's house a few days ago, and the latter had sworn to him that he would stick to the alliance.

But it was only a few days later that Norman Shi Yahuai kept the truth from him and directly betrayed him, but he was miserable!

Now the phone can't get through, and the offer to buy is also directly rejected. Norman Shi Yahuai's attitude is already the lice on the monk's head-it's obvious.

The only good thing is that it seems that the 11% stake in Chunghwa Electric Power Company held by the Taikoo Group is not in the hands of the Jiuding Consortium. This is a fortune in misfortune.

"Huhuhu..."

The more he thought about it, the angrier Lawrence Kadoorie became. Although he was panting heavily, he still felt a lack of oxygen, and his eyes were darkened.

A person in his early 80s, his body is poor, and he really can't stand stimulation.

Seeing the old father shaking, Michael Kadoorie, who was in his prime, was frightened and asked with concern, "Father, lean on the sofa first, and I'll call the family doctor."

"No, I'll just calm down!"

Lawrence Kadoorie stopped his son's actions and closed his eyes on the leather sofa.

Michael Kadoorie watched worriedly and waited quietly.

After a long time, Lawrence Kadoorie finally regained his composure. He slowly opened his eyes, showing a trace of fatigue on his face, and said to Michael Kadoorie, "Miko, this time our family can be said to have encountered the biggest problem since World War II. Trouble, if one is bad, you will lose a core industry again."

As for the troubles during World War II, it was just before the devils hit Hong Kong. The British government ordered Lawrence Kadoorie's father, Eli Kadoorie, to blow up the power plant on the Kowloon Peninsula. The Kadoorie family's property in the mainland was also confiscated by the devils. And Kadoorie's family was caught in the devil's camp, and Eli Kadoorie died in the camp.

After the end of World War II, Lawrence Kadoorie was determined to restore the family business. Although he encountered many setbacks over the decades, he has never been as dangerous as it is now.

"Father, our family still holds 34% of the shares of China Electric Power Company. As long as we are willing to spend money, we can definitely keep it!"

Michael Kadoorie said to Lawrence Kadoorie with a firm look.

Lawrence Kadoorie sighed with a wry smile: "But the key is that the time is too short, and the funds raised now are simply not enough!"

"Father, isn't Baoyuan Investment Company buying it first? We can also borrow money from HSBC or Schroders to see if we can acquire the equity held by Standard Chartered Bank. Equity, then no matter how the Jiuding Consortium competes, it is doomed to fail!”

"If the equity of Standard Chartered Bank is bought by the Jiuding Consortium, then we are really in trouble!"

"Of course, we can't ignore those small shareholders. Although it will be more troublesome to acquire, but as long as we take half of it, we can increase our family's equity to more than 50%, which is also a way."

Michael Kadoorie thought about it and suggested.

Lawrence Kadoorie shook his head and said: "I found Garth Liddell, he did not agree or object, he would definitely plan to start the price on the ground, now such a good opportunity, he will not easily sell the equity to us, the key Still need enough money!"

"It's not feasible to expect to borrow from Standard Chartered Bank and then acquire the shares held by Standard Chartered Bank. As for HSBC, given our current disadvantage, Shen Bi may not be able to help us much."

"Those small shareholders, I also called one by one, but the situation was very bad, and they all found reasons to shirk. I don't know whether their equity was sold or they planned to sit on the ground and raise the price."

"To sum up, the key is to have enough funds!"

"Then we can only find Schroder Group!" Michael Kadoorie said immediately.

"or……"

Seeing that Michael Kadoorie said a word and stopped saying it, Lawrence Kadoorie frowned and asked, "Or what?"

Michael Kadoorie struggled for a moment, and said, "Or we sold the equity of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group to cash out a fund to increase our equity in China Power Corporation."

After finishing speaking, Michael Kadoorie looked at his father with some trepidation.

This is the result of his thinking for a day. After all, he is still young, and his affection for the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel is not as deep as his father's, so he will not be affected by emotional factors when considering the pros and cons.

A look of anger appeared on Lawrence Kadoorie's face, but he immediately regained his composure and fell into thought.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "You're right, anyway, the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group is doomed to lose. Rather than losing both, it's better to break it a bit and try to keep the Chunghwa Electric Power Company."

"I'll leave this matter to you. It will be announced to the public that the equity of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group will be transferred. The Jiuding Consortium will definitely come. The only difference is that they will show up on their own and will entrust others to acquire them. On the premise of raising the price, sell it as soon as possible!”

The competition between the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group has already been decided. Although the equity held by the Kadoorie family is valuable, it is also very limited. Therefore, it is impossible to sell the price too high. Kadoorie is also clear.

"I will contact the Schroders Group, and at the same time let Baoyuan Investment Company acquire the stock."

"Good father, don't worry, I will not disappoint you!"

...

Soon, the Kadoorie family released the news, and the news reached Xia Yu's ears.

Xia Yu did not hesitate, and immediately asked Jason Gregg, the general manager of Jiuding Insurance Company, to come forward to discuss the equity acquisition.

On the other hand, Jiuding Securities Company continued to acquire stocks and competed with the Kadoorie family.

The two sides were negotiating cooperation and fighting fiercely. This strange situation was really eye-opening, and also admired the courage of the strong Kadoorie family to cut off the Internet.

Of course, this also revealed some information, that is, the Kadoorie family is in a weak position and is shrinking its strength in an attempt to protect itself.

This has strengthened the confidence of investors who also hold shares in Chunghwa Electric Power Company.

According to the logic analysis, when the Kadoorie family's strength shrinks, it is time for him to fight for his life. At that time, the share price of Chunghwa Electric Power Company will definitely skyrocket because of the competition.

Naturally, Xia Yu could see this clearly.

I feel that it will fall into extremely vicious competition and will greatly increase the acquisition cost, which is not a cost-effective thing.

Xia Yu immediately decided to launch the general attack in advance.

Soon, Xia Yu's orders were issued one by one, and Jiuding Securities Company and Jiuding Bank each found a minority shareholder. Zhangkou was a high price of 30% premium. means too.

On the other hand, Xia Yu went to Rothier \u0026 Sons Heung Kong Co., Ltd., found Charles Rothier, and entrusted him to acquire the equity of Chunghwa Electric Power Company held by Swire Group.

In the end, it was to let the President of Standard Chartered Bank, Gars Liddell, to secretly contact the British Schroeder family to see if they could reach an agreement to remove Lawrence Kadoorie, who holds 20% of the shares, from the position of chairman of Baoyuan Investment Co., Ltd. Kicked up and down, cut off the stocks currently acquired by Baoyuan Investment Company.

Two days passed in a flash, and the equity transaction of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group was about to be resolved, but the atmosphere over Hong Kong Island became more and more tense. Many people understood that the most intense moment was coming.
