Chapter 262 Henry. Keswick's reckoning
Regarding Chen Yi's thoughts, Henry. Keswick was not sure.
But he understood that once Chen Yi got involved in this matter, it would be completely difficult to handle.
Especially the relationship between the other party and HSBC Bank. You must know that the relationship between Jardine Matheson and HSBC Bank is not very good.
However, secretly, the big guys often fell into trouble.
Even if you don’t fall into the stone, it’s normal to sit on the sidelines.
Jardines is the head of the four major foreign firms. With this name, I don’t know how many good resources it has occupied. Xiangjiang is a typical place with more monks and less meat. If Jardine eats more, others have to eat less.
Now that Chen Yi is in the limelight, once the other party takes a fancy to Hongkong Land, Gu Buqi HSBC will secretly contribute behind the scenes in order to maintain a close cooperative relationship with Chen Yi.
If it was other time, Jardine would not be afraid of HSBC.
But it doesn’t work now. Once HSBC takes action, it will affect the whole body, and other British consortiums will not be able to bear it if they don’t keep it together.
After all, Jardine is really too fat, no one can hold back the benefit that everyone will be full after Jardine collapses.
Reluctant that the child cannot be caught by the wolf, Henry. After hesitating for a while, Keswick proposed to Boss Chen: "If Chen Sheng wants to enter the real estate industry, Hong Kong Land is not the only company he can choose. If Chen Sheng is willing to transfer the shares in Hong Kong Land and Jardine Matheson to to Jardine, then I am willing to represent the Jardine Group and the Keswick family to resell all the shares in Golden Gate Construction and Wharf to Chen Sheng."
"In addition, I can also personally promise Chen Sheng that after the transfer of the shares between the two parties, Jardine will do its best to help Chen Sheng win Wharf and Jinmen Construction Company, and at the same time assist Chen Sheng to obtain control of the two companies."
"Chen Sheng doesn't need to doubt the strength of Jinmen Construction. The construction of Kangle Building last year was undertaken by Jinmen Construction Company alone."
"With Golden Gate Construction, Chen Sheng wants to enter the real estate industry. It can be said that it is easy and effortless. Coupled with the land owned by Wharf, Chen Sheng can use it to enter the shipping industry, or transform Wharf into real estate. All good choices."
In order to dispel Chen Yi's thoughts about Hongkong Land, Henry. Keswick also made up his mind, and was going to use Wharf and Jinmen Building as bait, throwing them out to lure Boss Chen to take the bait.
The current situation of Golden Gate Construction and Wharf, Henry. Keswick knew in his heart that once he chose to keep Landmark and Jardine Matheson, Jardine would have no spare power to compete for Wharf and Gammon Construction.
After the targeting of the six major banks, Jardine's former enemies are already secretly ready to move. If Jardine ends the competition between Landmark and Jardine Matheson, it will continue to hold on to Wharf and Golden Gate.
Then the strength will be seriously consumed, and if there are any problems with other subsidiaries of the Jardine Group, then Jardine will face constant troubles.
Instead of continuing to cling to Wharf and Golden Gate Construction and consuming Jardine's meager capital flow, it is better to resell its shares to Chen Yi and let the other party compete with the behind-the-scenes masters behind the six major banks.
With the support of HSBC Bank, Chen Yi's combat effectiveness is beyond doubt. As long as Chen Yi is hooked, not only will Jardine's current crisis be resolved, but at the same time, he can stand on the sidelines and look for opportunities for revenge.
Two birds with one stone, two birds with one stone, Henry. Keswick's idea is beautiful and naive, and under normal circumstances, it would be a good idea.
However, unfortunately, he met Boss Chen this time.
In his opinion, after expressing his interest in Hong Kong Land, Henry. At most, Keswick would give up the Golden Gate Building, but it is completely impossible for Wharf.
As for the reason, it is very simple.
The outbreak of the oil crisis last year caused a certain degree of decline in the global economy. Although the shipping industry was also affected to some extent, it was not enough to affect the extremely hot shipping industry in a short period of time.
As Wharf is currently the largest cargo port in Hong Kong, Henry. It is impossible for Keswick to completely give up Wharf.
Now Henry. Keswick was willing to transfer all the shares in the two companies of Golden Gate Construction and Wharf to him, which made Chen Yi smell a little bit of conspiracy.
"Mr. Henry is willing to give me the shares of Wharf as well?" Chen Yi looked at Henry who was sitting opposite him. Keswick wanted to get an exact answer from the other party.
If what the other party said is true, plus the shares he currently holds, he will each hold nearly 70% of the shares in the two companies. Wharf and Golden Gate Construction took it back again.
Seeing Boss Chen was obviously moved, Henry. Keswick added fuel to the flames again, saying: "As long as Chen Sheng is willing to transfer the shares in Hong Kong Land and Jardine Matheson that you hold, I will persuade the company's board of directors to transfer the shares of Wharf held by Jardine And the shares of Jinmen Construction were given to Chen Sheng at the lowest price."
"The lowest price" Chen Yi's heart became even hotter when he heard this.
At this time, Chen Yi had more or less guessed Henry. Keswick's purpose, but he did not show it, but followed Henry. Keswick's rhythm, showing his desire for both companies.
At this time, Chen Yi had already begun to thank Henry. Keswick's eight generations of ancestors, thank you, thank you, the slaughter is still to be slaughtered.
Chen Yi blinked, with a greedy attitude of wanting to continue to take advantage, and asked: "Then what is Mr. Henry's lowest price? As far as I know, the six major banks are also buying shares in Wharf and Golden Gate Construction. Now the stock prices of the two companies have also been raised very high, if "
Speaking, Chen Yi showed a troubled expression on his face, hesitatingly said: "If Mr. Henry's asking price is too high, then forget it. I have little arms and legs, but I can't screw the six big banks."
Facing Boss Chen's clumsy performance, Henry. Keswick felt speechless, and even had the urge to vomit blood.
'little arms and legs'
Is this what people say?
Who is worth billions of dollars in a year?
Who bought the bottom like crazy after the stock market crash?
How dare you say that you have small arms and legs? Do you have such small arms and legs?
If Chen Yi counts as small arms and legs, then what are the others? Probably not even the toes.
Of course, it is undeniable that the Big Six banks are really strong.
Even Jardine was almost taken aback by the combination of the six major banks at the beginning, and finally regained the confidence of being the leader of the four major banks after clarifying the situation.
