Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Swire & Co., Ltd. is an old British-owned company that was engaged in trade with China during the Qing Dynasty. Today's Swire is a multinational company rooted in Asia. Its business in Greater China mostly uses the name Swire. Swire & Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Swire & Co., Ltd.

The company is a conglomerate listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Swire & Co., Ltd. is the most influential commercial and trading institution in modern China second only to Jardine Matheson. Its predecessor was John Swale & Co., which was founded in 1816. Swire & Co., Ltd. mainly engaged in the shipping industry. In 1867, it organized the China Shipping Company with a rated capital of 1

million pounds. In 1872, the Taikoo Steamship Company was established, becoming a joint venture with the Jardine Steamship Company and Qichang Steamship Company.

The three major shipping companies keep pace with each other. They opened up the Shanghai-Hong Kong route, added the Yangtze River route in 1875, and then gradually expanded China's coastal routes and overseas routes. In addition to the shipping industry, Swire & Co. also got involved in other fields. In 1881, it acquired Hong Kong

The Taikoo Sugar Refinery was built on several large pieces of land in Quarry Bay on the island and was officially put into operation in 1883.

In the future market, no matter how Chinese capital rises in Hong Kong, the Swire family will always control Taikoo Matheson among the four oceans in Hong Kong. Many people say that wealth can only last three generations, but in the market outlook, the Swire family has been rich for six generations.

Although weaker than Jardine in terms of strength, the Swire family has always been stronger than the Keswick family in terms of corporate control. This is also the reason why no one in Swire & Co. has been able to make decisions, because the controlling family has great control over the company.

The control is too stable.

But with the passage of time and the diversification of the company, and Swire itself is a listed company, even the Swire family only has more than three levels of holdings in the company. This is determined by the Hong Kong Listed Company Law, and this is also the case.

An opportunity for Xuan. If the Shihuai family’s shareholding reaches 49%, there really will be no chance.

Looking at the turbulent stock market at this time, John Schweizer finally understood Shen Bi's reminder. Although HSBC's executive has a transcendent status in Hong Kong, he is still a migrant worker after all, and these veteran British rich people may not necessarily listen to you in everything.

.

After Shen Bi retires, he can only receive a pension, but there is no such thing as retirement for Yorke-Spain. Even if he retires, his son will take over, and everyone should still respect him.

Things are a bit tricky this time, and Etaiko's cash reserves can't possibly compete with Heiyun. The most important thing is that the company's people are distracted, and they all want Heiyun to take shares, and some even start to plan their treatment after Bao Zixuan's arrival. This is

A dangerous signal. It is no longer the time to care about face. If you want to survive the difficulties, you still need to find Shen Bi and HSBC behind him.

At present, it is not only Heiyun who is making acquisitions, but other small and medium-sized retail investors are also absorbing a large number of shares of Swire Pacific. At this time, everyone in Xiangjiang understands that following Bao Shoufang will definitely make money. Seeing that Swire's stock price is rising, on the surface, the assets of the Swire family are in

Increase, but once the stock price is artificially high, it is definitely not a good thing for the stable development of the controlling family and the company.

A small fluctuation is enough to make the Shihuai Ya family suffer for a long time. However, in recent years, the overseas expansion has been too rapid and there is not much funds for emergencies.

In fact, not only Swire & Co., but other British-funded enterprises in Xiangjiang are also vigorously developing overseas business. Although Xiangjiang's return has not been agreed upon at this time, as the top British family, especially in Xiangjiang for so long, everyone is not optimistic about Britain's return in 1997.

You can still manage Hong Kong in 2018. China cannot let such a thing happen, otherwise you will become a laughing stock in the world, and who else will take you seriously?

Although he was reluctant, York Schweizer still called Shen Bi. He understood that if he wanted to stabilize the stock price, HSBC must take action. No one else could have this strength. Moreover, it was impossible for Chinese capital to help him. Bao Zixuan was from Xiangjiang. A flag of the Chinese people.

Shen Bi was very happy when he received the call from York-Shihuaya. In the past, these old-fashioned families who thought they were nobles respected him on the surface; but the inner monologue was probably only known to the person involved. Now that it is his fault, he should let them Feel uncomfortable.

After Yorke Schweizer arrived at the HSBC executive office, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Shen Bi sitting there. After all, he didn't go down to greet him, which made him feel that he was not taken seriously. However, the current situation is weaker than others, and he still wants to ask for help from the other party. I can bear with it for a while.

After seeing York Shuaiya come in, Shen Bi stood up and said, "Welcome, Mr. Shuaiya. I just had something to do and didn't go down to greet you. I hope you won't be surprised."

Although Shen Bi knew that the other party wanted something from him, he still had to give him the face he deserved. After this incident, he would definitely offend Bao Zixuan. If he made York-Shihuaya hate him, he would have really lost his wife and lost his troops, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

York-Shihuaya: "Master Shen Bi has a lot of things to do every day, so don't worry too much. We are all citizens of the British Empire, so there is no need for red tape! I came here this time because I have something to ask for help from Master Shen Bi. Given the years of friendship between HSBC and Swire, , please give me some face, Mr. Shen."

In fact, Shen Bi doesn't really want to pay attention to York Swire. If there are two people in Xiangjiang who don't give Shen Bi face, one is Simon Keswick; the other is definitely York Swire. Jardine Matheson and Taikoo Matheson were at their peak. It is no weaker than HSBC, and Potian Shen Bi is just a high-level wage earner.

Shen Bi: "Swire Pacific is so strong, why does it need HSBC's help?"

York-Shihuaya: "Don't laugh at me, Mr. Shen Bi. I didn't pay attention to your previous reminder. I would like to apologize to you. I think Cathay Pacific is not a listed company, and Bao Zixuan is rich but has no ability." There is no way. But who would have thought that he would dare to take action against Taikoo Yang."

"The previous acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa was not enough. We really thought that our Swire family was easy to bully. But then again, the overseas expansion has been too fast in recent years, which has made the headquarters funds a little tight. Therefore, this time I want to dismantle part of it to HSBC. Also, you have had contact with Bao Zixuan and know his character and temperament; I would like to ask you for advice on how to deal with this crisis."

After Bao Zixuan acquired Hutchison Whampoa and Pao Yugang acquired Wharf, Hong Kong's listed company law changed slightly. The shareholding ratio changed from 49% to 33.4%. The purpose was to protect old British-owned enterprises. After all, The control ratio of the old British-owned enterprise holding family is not high due to its age. If there is any trouble, it would be a guarantee, but who would have thought that Bao Zixuan was completely throwing money at it, just to tear off a piece of meat from Taikoo Matheson. .

Shen Bi: "Bao Zixuan fought hard against Swire & Co., Ltd. just to get Cathay Pacific. I guess he also sent a similar acquisition intention to Swire & Co., Ltd. before."

In fact, after Bao Zixuan failed to acquire the shares of China Thai Airways held by HSBC, he actually sent an acquisition application to Swire & Co. However, despite Shen Bi's reminder at the time, York Swire still treated him as a joke. After all, Cathay Pacific is one of Swire's most important assets and cannot be sold easily.

Jingren directly rejected Heiyun's acquisition intention, and his attitude was very tough, even a bit harsh. This strengthened Bao Zixuan's determination to make Taikoo Matheson suffer.

York-Shihuaya: "I really don't care, but the top priority now is how to solve the problem of Taikoo Matheson. If Taikoo changes hands, all the efforts of the family for so many years will be wasted. So I would like to ask for your help to see how to deal with this problem." crisis. We don’t want the Chinese to control Hong Kong’s economy, so on this point we still have the same opinion!”

Shen Bi; "There are two ways to solve this dilemma now. One is to give up Cathay Pacific and let Bao Zixuan complete the acquisition. Only in this way can he eliminate his anger."

York-Shi Huaiya heard that his nose almost became angry. If I did this, I would still ask you; I would come here to beg you. It is so natural. So he said with a little anger: "Teacher Shen Bi should suggest the second way!" "
