Chapter 671 [He Yihe speaks numbers]
In June, Hilton Central.
Wu Guangyao, Wu Xianshuo, Ma Shimin represent the Wu family, Nuobijian, Bao Fuda, and Simon Kessek represent the Jardines and Land, and are in a secret conversation.
Nvbijian serves as the chairman of the board of directors of Jardine Land and Bao Fuda is the general manager of Land and Land;
Simon Kessek came to Hong Kong Island from Australia last year (1982). He is currently the executive director of Jardine Mathematics, responsible for the international affairs of the group.
This secret talk was Wu Guangyao who took the initiative to initiate an invitation to test the issue about the sale of Land.
At this time, it was a time when Jardine Mathematics Group was in a turbulent situation, and the Kessek family was forcing Nübijian to step down;
As early as 1981, the Kessek family's struggle with Nübijian's rights was superficial;
At the board of directors that year, there was a tide of causing the fall of Nübijian, but after that, the two sides compromised and Nübijian was able to continue to be re-elected for four years;
However, with such serious problems in Land Real Estate, the Kessek family immediately asked Nübijian to leave office early.
Wu Guangyao first said: "This time I invite three of you to come. I want to ask if Jardineyah can sell Land for me?"
Without any delay, Wu Guangyao directly explained his purpose.
As the senior team of Jardineyah, Nübijian did not speak, but instead looked at Simon Kessek;
From this point of view, Niu Bijian also knew that he could not gain a foothold in Jardine Mathematics, and it was only a matter of time before he stepped down.
When Simon Kessek heard this, he was not angry and said in a slightly calm tone: "What price does Mr. Wu plan to acquire the Land shares in our hands?"
Seeing that Simon Kessack was so calm, Wu Guangyao was not surprised. Simon Kessack, who was once a junior high school student, was a cynical modern hippie. After only one year of college, he asked his classmates to put him in a coffin and carry him out of the campus. He was so angry that he was furious and called him "a child is unteachable."
Often, such children who are unusual in the future can achieve better results. Today, Simon Kessek is probably better than his brother in his work.
Wu Guangyao smiled and said, "Just calculate based on the highest market value of land before the stock market plummeted by HK$8 billion, how about we have a 30% premium?"
Simon Kessek said: "Mr. Wu is very sincere, but the market value cannot reflect the actual value of the company; otherwise, how about we, Jardinet, buy Cheung Kong Industrial at a price of HK$26 billion?"
Wu Guangyao naturally would not agree. The Keserk family may not be able to do it, but the Wu family has an enemy in the UK. Who knows if they will participate in this matter?
Wu Guangyao smiled and said, "Jinghe is a century-old group company, and its strength cannot be overlooked! In fact, I did not come to tell you about counting because Yerhe was in trouble; but I think you don't trust the mainland enough and the UK intends to withdraw from Hong Kong, so I came to tell you about counting."
It is not a secret that the UK intends to withdraw from Hong Kong, but the UK likes to make some conditions!
But it is precisely those conditions that the mainland cannot accept.
Simon Kessek said: "Mr. Wu really likes hearing, and we, Jardine Ren, are optimistic about the development of Hong Kong."
Seeing that Wu Guangyao was kind to persuade him, Ximen refused to enter, so he pretended to be a villain;
"Everyone, as far as we know, Land has a debt of up to HK$13 billion, and you can buy a building just by paying interest every year. Not only that, because Land and Jardine Mahjong are 'serial ships', the financial crisis in Land and now it will inevitably affect Jardine Mahjong, and swallow Jardine Mahjong's profits completely; furthermore, Land and Jardine Mahjong's serial ships are not flawless, but are 'treated' and 'one will lose both polarities' and one will hurt both injuries'."
Simon Kessek frowned, and one on the other on the other sang blushed, and the other on the other sang blushed, obviously it was a bit inevitable!
The series of ships of Land and Jardines seem to be reliable, but they do have flaws;
When the acquisition war breaks out, the acquirer may apply for an injunction from the Acquisition and Merger Committee to prohibit the acquired party from voting rights in the mutually controlled equity; this is equivalent to lifting the iron chain between the "serial ships" and conducting one-on-one acquisition and counter-acquisition;
If the acquirer's application is approved, Jardinet and Land's mutual control advantages will disappear.
Also, the market value of Land Land is higher than Jardine’s, which is now 6 billion Hong Kong dollars, while Jardine’s is only 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars;
If Wu Guangyao went directly to privatize Jardinet, wouldn’t he be able to control the two companies with just a small amount of funds?
Now, Jardine & Land has a financial crisis and is completely unable to resist the financial resources of the Wu family;
However, Wu Guangyao now likes the strategy of "eliminating the beacon fire in a glass of wine", so he will not make malicious acquisitions.
Simon Kessek said in a deep voice: "Jahlmet has been going through a hundred years and we have a large amount of assets around the world. The failure of investment in Hong Kong is nothing. The difficulty is only short-term. If Mr. Wu likes malicious acquisitions, just let him go."
Wu Guangyao smiled and said, "Mr. Kessek misunderstood what we mean. We mean that if you have implicated Jardinet, it would be better to sell it at a high price."
Simon Kessek said: "The stock market can never reflect the true value of a company. Land is a flagship company in our hearts. If Mr. Wu really wants it, then it costs HK$20 billion, maybe we can consider it."
Wu Guangyao wanted to agree on the spot, but thought about the decision, and decided to ease it;
Although the price is very exciting, the process is very unhappy.
Wu Guangyao is not unable to take out HK$20 billion plus HK$13 billion in debt, but he doesn't like this acquisition method.
It was suddenly reported that Wu Guangyao was interested in acquiring Land Company in Hong Kong, which caused the stock market to rise by 3% for a while, and Land's stock soared by 10%.
Simon Kessek even accepted an interview with reporters, always emphasizing that the market value of Land is lower than the actual price of Land, and then said sincerely:
“The door is always open!”
“The problem is the price!”
Ximen's move is undoubtedly to raise the price of land to defend the land;
Of course, the Kessek family has a big weakness, that is, the 'terror';
Therefore, as long as the price is appropriate, land is not a non-sale product.
...........
There are also news in the market that the Wu family acquired the land, which greatly boosted the prestige of Chinese people;
However, something big happened to Jardine & Land, and another storm broke out in Hong Kong.
As a member of Jardine, Land, Daban Nübijian announced on the board of directors that he would resign from the position of chairman of the two companies and retain only the position of director;
The Kessek family is making a comeback!
When he was interviewed by the media, Nvbijian said sadly:
"I'm just a worker!"
"The situation in Hong Kong has changed. Britain is preparing to abandon Hong Kong. Chinese businessmen have become stronger and stronger since the 1960s. This is just like the United States supported Japan back then. Suddenly one day I discovered that the baby in my arms was a tiger."
"I love Hong Kong, I will always love Hong Kong!"
Although Nvbijian did not say it clearly, he still had some dissatisfaction with the Kessek family in his words;
Jardine's strategy of "developing in Hong Kong and investing overseas" in the 1960s and 1970s was completely implemented by the Kessek family, and Nübijian was just an executor;
It was precisely because of the missed opportunities for Hong Kong's development in the 1960s and 1970s that the actual investment mistakes in returning to Hong Kong in the 1980s.
Media began to write news one after another. Mr. Wu Guangyao took the Hutchison Whampoa from the Kessek family, causing Jardine to lose one wing;
Now that the Kessek family is in power again, facing Mr. Wu Guangyao's aggressive force, is Simon Kesek, who is in the two major classes of Jardine and Land, better than his brother Henry Kesek?
The media said, "For Jardine Map, the battle has just begun!"
What kind of achievements can make Simon Kessek appear more clever?
Many media analyzed that retaining land is not the only proof, and selling land at a high price is also a proof.
Land becomes the debt king of Hong Kong, and keeping it in your hands will cause trouble to Jardinet. In addition, the Kessek family has a "fetal phobia";
Therefore, even if Jardine Map sells land at a high price, it is a clever policy!
