Chapter 495 Marden and his son's plan (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  No. 12, Mount Kellett Road, Chu Family Manor!

  By the swimming pool outside the main building, the lights were flickering, champagne, delicacies, beauties, and Huo Zhenting and others had a happy conversation, but the sound could not reach the reception room in the main building.

  In the reception room, Chu Huan, Guo Bingxiang, Zheng Jiachun, Tang Yunian, and Zhao Shizeng sat facing each other.

  Guo Bingxiang, Zheng Jiachun, Tang Yunian, and Zhao Shizeng looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

   "So, Hehe International has actually completed the acquisition of Wheelock?"

  Guo Bingxiang opened his eyes wide, and looked at Chu Huan sitting opposite him in disbelief.

"That's right, just today I have acquired the shares of Wheelock in the hands of Zhang Yuliang, not only the shares of Wheelock, but also the shares of Wheelock's Real Estate Trust, United Realty, and Harriman Development. Moreover, I have also met with Qi Dezun of Hehe International, and the other party agreed to acquire the shares of these four companies in my hands, so the acquisition of Wheelock has come to an end!"

  Chu Huan repeated what he said before.

Zheng Jiachun could no longer think about it at this time. Chu Huan had clearly announced that he would give up the acquisition of Wheelock, so why did he buy Wheelock shares from Zhang Yuliang? Buy the shares of Wheelock in the hands of Zhang Yuliang at a low price.

  At this time, Zheng Jiachun just subconsciously said: "A Huan, no matter how much Hehe International pays, we are willing to pay the same price to buy the shares of Wheelock in your hand!"

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "Even if you buy the shares of Wheelock in my hand, it is useless. Only when these shares fall into the hands of Hehe International can the current acquisition of Wheelock be ended. In the hands of everyone, there is actually only one result, so that John Madden understands that the bargaining chip in his hand is more important, and the asking price will be even higher."

   "That's our business!"

  Wheelock is so important, it is so important that Zheng Jiachun said something unpleasant in front of Chu Huan for the first time at this time.

   After finishing speaking, Zheng Jiachun realized that what he just said was a little inappropriate, and said to Chu Huan, "Ah Huan, I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now!"

  Chu Huan waved his hand, not taking this matter to heart, and said: "It's okay, I can understand everyone's feelings."

  Before, things had no results. Even though the possibility of Four Seas getting Wheelock was the smallest, they still had hope.

  Now their good friend Chu Huan shattered their hopes at this moment.

   Such a result is difficult for them to accept.

Zheng Jiachun said: "A Huan, we all know the reason you just said, but as long as we can get the shares of Wheelock held by Zhang Yuliang, then we will have more capital to talk to John Madden, and even You can talk to Qi Dezun, I believe these stocks can play a greater role in our hands!"

  Although the rest of the people did not speak, it can be seen from their attitudes that they agree with what Zheng Jiachun said.

  Chu Huan smiled wryly, and said: "It's okay to say so, but it doesn't meet my interests!"

   Tang Yunian said: "A Huan, are you worried that we will think more about the price after we buy Zhang Yuliang's shares in Wheelock from you?"

  This is actually the same situation as buying a house in the hands of an acquaintance.

  Someone wants to sell the house. When acquaintances and friends know about it, they propose to buy the house. At the same time, someone who is not familiar with the party also wants to buy your house.

   During the process of buying a house, acquaintances and friends may buy the house in your hands at the same price, but what about afterward?

  Acquaintances and friends may think that you are just using that unfamiliar person to drive up the house price.

  In many cases, this kind of thing really happened, so, in order to avoid such a situation, many people would not sell their house to someone they know well.

  Because that would save a lot of trouble.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Of course I don't think so. To be honest, I don't think this little money will be considered too much if it is placed with me or with you.

   also believe that the relationship between us is not so fragile.

It's just that you can't give me what Hehe International can give me. This has nothing to do with the price, so everyone, let me tell you this news in advance, because I don't want you to continue doing such useless work. As for other things, I really don't want it Moreover! "

  The four of them had different expressions. No one expected that this evening would have such an ending.

  In Chu Huan's answer, there were too many ambiguities. Obviously, there were many things they didn't know about this transaction.

but.

   "A Huan, this matter is too important, I need to go back and tell my dad right now!"

  Zhao Shizeng got up first to preach.

  Since they are Chu Huan's friends, they naturally understand Chu Huan's character. They understand that Chu Huan has definitely made up his mind at this time, and what they say is irrelevant.

   But this matter, you must let your father know as soon as possible.

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "This is what it should be."

  Zheng Jiachun also got up at this time and said: "A Huan, I have to go back too!"

  Chu Huan nodded, the two shook hands, Zheng Jiachun turned and left.

  Tang Yunian patted Chu Huan on the shoulder, left without saying anything.

When only Guo Bingxiang and Chu Huan were left in the room, Guo Bingxiang couldn't help but said to Chu Huan: "Ah Huan, have you really sold this stock to Hehe International? Or is Hehe International doing it for you?" Where are you in charge?"

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "Of course it was sold to Hehe International!"

"Hehe!" Guo Bingxiang smiled meaningfully, and said, "I have to go back and tell Daddy about this, but you don't have to think too much about it. The acquisition of Wheelock is something that everyone doesn't care about. If you have so much hope for something, you won’t say anything if you don’t succeed now!”

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "I didn't think much about it!"

  Guo Bingxiang left without saying anything.

   After the four left, Chu Huan came to the swimming pool outside the main building.

  Feng Yongfa, Huo Zhenting, and Michael Kadoorie are playing arhat with the model that Chu Huan called here. Seeing Chu Huan coming alone, Feng Yongfa asked curiously.

   "Why is it just you, how many of them?"

   "Some things go back first!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

  Huo Zhenting asked: "Are they still coming back?"

  Migao Kaori also looked at Chu Huan curiously.

   "I don't know!" Chu Huan shook his head, and then said: "But I still hope they come back!"

.

  The time when Guo Bingxiang and others return to their respective residences is determined by how far their residences are from Chu Huan.

  Zheng Jiachun returned to their residence in Repulse Bay.

   "Didn't you go to have a party with A Huan? Why did you come back so early?"

  In the living room, Zheng Yutong, who was reading a newspaper, saw Zheng Jiachun coming back, put down the newspaper in his hand, and asked curiously.

   Zheng Jiachun said with some resentment in a complicated expression: "Daddy, there is something I want to talk to you about!"

  Seeing this, Zheng Yutong knew that this was no small matter, and said, "Let's go to the study to talk!"

  Zheng Jiachun nodded slightly, and the two father and son came to the study. Zheng Jiachun immediately told Zheng Yutong what Chu Huan had told him.

   What surprised Zheng Jiachun was that his father, Zheng Yutong, did not show anger or surprise when he found out what had happened.

   "Hehe!" Afterwards, Zheng Yutong even laughed softly, and then said: "So you are so angry now because you think that A Huan betrayed the friendship between you?"

Zheng Jiachun nodded and said, "Isn't that so? We have such a good relationship with A Huan. After he bought the shares of Wheelock held by Zhang Yuliang, even if he wanted to sell it to Hehe International, he should have contacted him immediately. Let's get in touch first, instead of waiting for him to decide everything before telling us about it!"

   After hearing this, Zheng Yutong just smiled helplessly, and then continued: "Then if A Huan told us in advance, what should we do?"

   Zheng Jiachun said: "Naturally, we will try our best to buy the shares of Wheelock held by A Huan!"

  Zheng Yutong continued to ask: "What if A Huan disagrees?"

  Zheng Jiachun was stunned, disagree? Do you disagree? Isn't that the case now?

Zheng Yutong saw that Zheng Jiachun did not continue to speak, so he continued to smile and said, "Then let me ask you from another angle, if it is not A Huan who bought the shares of Wheelock held by Zhang Yuliang, now they have completed the transaction with Hehe International, and What are we doing now without making this public?"

   Zheng Jiachun said: "We are still trying our best to acquire the shares of Wheelock held by John Madden. If John Madden finally decides to sell the shares of Wheelock held by him to us."

   Having said this, Zheng Jiachun stopped talking.

  If that is the case, they can only be shareholders of Wheelock, not the chairman of the board of directors. That is to say, they have thrown in a lot of cash, but they only get the status of a director with a certain right to speak, but not a decisive one.

"I figured it out!" Zheng Yutong said with a smile: "This is A Huan, who has already told us about this matter when it is still in the confidential stage. Otherwise, we are still in the process of acquiring Wheelock This matter, and delay our own business, in the end, only ourselves will suffer.”

   "But, but" Although Zheng Jiachun understood, it didn't mean that he was able to accept this matter immediately, and there was another important point that he didn't want to understand.

   "But, this person is Chu Huan!"

   "Just because the other party is Chu Huan, does he have to sell the stock he has acquired to you?" Zheng Yutong raised his voice.

Zheng Jiachun shook his head and said: "That's not what I mean, what I mean is that we can completely compete fairly with Hehe International for the shares of Wheelock in A Huan's hands, but now A Huan doesn't even give us this opportunity. It's impossible to get through!"

   "Oh..." Zheng Yutong shook his head helplessly, and said, "So, you are out of balance now!"

   "Yes!" Zheng Jiachun didn't hide anything about it.

Zheng Yutong sighed for the second time: "Actually, you should be glad that you have Chu Huan as a friend. When A Huan first appeared in the Xiangjiang business world, I was worried that A Huan would be like you and run amok in the business world. Now it seems , my worry is completely unnecessary, Ah Chun, you should be glad that you have Chu Huan as a friend, he chose to tell you about this matter today, the pressure he bears is beyond your imagination!"

   Zheng Jiachun was stunned, he didn't expect his father to say such a sentence suddenly!

"Go back!" Zheng Yutong said to Zheng Jiachun: "Go back to A Huan's manor, if you don't understand this matter, don't think about it, bury this matter deeply in your heart, it won't take long, maybe One year, maybe two years, I think you'll understand everything!"

  Such a paragraph without beginning and end made Zheng Jiachun even more silent. He really couldn't understand why his father would say such a thing.

   "Daddy, is there something I don't know?"

  Zheng Jiachun couldn't help asking out loud.

Zheng Yutong said: "I don't want you to know now, because you don't need to know. In fact, I don't know whether my guess is right, but I think my guess is right, so I will be firm in my opinion, and you Well, it's best to be firm in what I told you.

  In the business world, it is not easy to have such a friend, and it will help you immeasurably in the future! "

  Zheng Jiachun finally left his villa in a daze, and drove back to the Chu Family Manor.

  At this time, Zheng Yutong was sitting alone in his study, with a smile on his face, and muttered to himself: "I really hope to see the real finale sooner, I hope this finale is what I want to see!"

  The phone rings.

   Zheng Yutong answered the phone, it was Guo Desheng calling.

   "Do you know what happened?" Guo Desheng asked on the phone.

   "I already know!" Zheng Yutong said easily.

   "Since it's over, I think we should give up too!" Guo Desheng said calmly.

   "It's time to give up. Didn't we just not have much hope for this matter?" Zheng Yutong said in a relaxed tone.

   "I have sent Ah Xiang back!" Guo Desheng said: "At the same time, I also called those two. Their meaning is the same as ours."

   "Well, I also let Ah Chun go back!"

  The two hung up the phone.

.

  In the Chu family's manor, the four of Guo Bingxiang came and went in a hurry, with only an hour between them.

   Seeing the four of them return, Feng Yongfa, Huo Zhenting, and Michael Kadoorie are not sure why, but they are very happy.

  Chu Huan looked at them, and finally Zheng Jiachun walked up to Chu Huan and said seriously: "I believe in you, A Huan, and in what my father said. I'll wait for a few years!"

  Chu Huan nodded slightly, "Since you put me and Uncle Zheng together, let's call Uncle Chu and listen!"

  Zheng Jiachun's face darkened.

  By the swimming pool, there were laughter and laughter.

.

  The next day, morning!

  Wheelock Headquarters!

   Little Madden came to John Madden's office.

   "Daddy, Guo Desheng of the Four Seas Consortium just issued a statement saying that the Four Seas Consortium was not satisfied with our offer, so it withdrew from this acquisition."

  John Madden was stunned, and then asked angrily, "When did it happen?"

   "Just now!" Little Madden also preached with an angry expression.

  The two fathers and sons have reason to be angry. For them, the statement issued by the Four Seas Consortium is like a slap in the face.

Before this, the two fathers and sons were certain that the value of the Wheelock shares in their hands was at least 400 million Hong Kong dollars, but now the Four Seas Consortium has chosen to withdraw from this acquisition because of their pricing, although they do not think that the Four Seas Consortium is worth it in their hearts. Strength acquired Wheelock's presence.

  But the existence of the Four Seas Consortium is very important to them.

Except for Chu Huan who withdrew due to factors other than business, none of the other six consortiums withdrew, even when they quoted 500 million Hong Kong dollars, which showed that although their selling price was high, But they will take it.

  But now with the withdrawal of the Four Seas Consortium, the issue of the selling price has been completely exposed.

   And those consortiums that are still buying Wheelock will definitely make a fuss about this matter.

   Sure enough, the phone on John Madden's desk rang at this time.

  John Madden picked up the phone, it was Swire from Swire.

   "John, can we talk about the price of Wheelock again?" Schjork Swiyar asked straight to the point without exchanging pleasantries.

John Madden said in a deep voice: "Schyork, the price of 500 million is already very fair. If Swire can acquire Wheelock, it will open up its own shipping business and expand your real estate business. I can't think of you Is there any reason to reject this offer?"

  Shjork Swiya chuckled lightly, and said: "There are quite a few reasons, but you don't want to see it, John!"

  John Madden said: "Then what is your psychological price for Schjock?"

Shyok Swariyar said: "John, your psychological price is the benefits brought by Wheelock's future growth and your Madden family's right to speak to Wheelock. This is wrong. Since we are talking about a Commercial acquisitions should be done according to the current market conditions.

  So, John, if you really want to sell Wheelock, we at Swire are willing to pay a 20% premium to the stock price of Wheelock before the suspension of trading. This is our last bottom line at Swire! "

  The price is the same as what Li Jiacheng said before.

  John Madden's heart sank, and he said in a deep voice: "So, we can't reach a consensus?"

  Syrk Schwariya said helplessly: "It seems to be like this."

   "I hope to have the opportunity to continue to cooperate with Swire in the future!" John Madden said.

  Schwyer nodded and said: "Actually, the future development of Xiangjiang may not be as you think, John. Staying in Xiangjiang is not necessarily a wrong choice!"

   "I will seriously consider it!" After John Madden finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

   "Swire also wants to give up?" Little Madden said helplessly.

  John Madden nodded, and said with a gloomy expression: "That's right!"

  Little Madden spoke eagerly to John Madden: "Daddy, it seems that I want to give those people some information, otherwise they will definitely continue to use this matter to deal with us!"

  John Madden nodded and said: "Let's release the materials we prepared before!"

   "Yes!" Little Madden immediately nodded excitedly.

.

   "Look, Taikoo even issued a statement to withdraw from the acquisition of Wheelock!"

  In a securities company in Xiangjiang, two stockbrokers were talking about the most exciting news at the moment, the acquisition of Wheelock!

   "The purchase price of 500 million is really too high. If the Madden family can lower it, I think they will definitely not withdraw."

   "It's natural, that's Wheelock, one of the four major foreign companies in Xiangjiang, whoever can get Wheelock will instantly become one of the most powerful people in Xiangjiang!"

"Hehe, you are talking about ordinary people. The key is that ordinary people have the strength to acquire Wheelock. Look at the consortiums involved in the acquisition of Wheelock. Which one is not the most powerful person in Xiangjiang? "

   "That's true."

   "Aren't you saying that it's ridiculous for us two people with a monthly salary of less than 2,000 to discuss a multi-hundred million acquisition case?"

"Uh"

.

  Wheelock’s takeover case, which had not made much progress, has once again become the focus of heated discussions in the city following the withdrawal of the Four Seas Consortium and Swire Group.

However, this time the reputation has obviously begun to change. Because of John Madden’s statement, people have accepted the fact that Wheelock’s market value is worth that much money. Now, Xiangjiang people have begun to discuss Madden again. Is the family a bit too greedy in this matter?

  Marden and his son naturally knew about this discussion, but they didn't care about it.

  I’m going to sell Wheelock and leave Xiangjiang, will I still care about the discussion of you irrelevant people?

  Of course, this discussion provided the remaining acquirers with a bargaining chip to continue negotiating with the Madden family.

  At this time, regarding the acquisition of Wheelock, there are still four companies left, namely Jardine Matheson, Hehe International, Cheung Kong, and Universal.

   "It seems that they are the ones who really want to get us Wheelock!"

  In the evening of this day, the two father and son John Madden and Little Madden gathered again in John Madden's office.

  Jardines, Hehe International, Cheung Kong, and Universal also called John Madden today.

   The question asked was naturally whether the sale price of Wheelock could be lowered. Regarding this question, John Madden was determined to kill 500 million Hong Kong dollars and would not let go!

   Regarding this answer, although the four companies also expressed helplessness, they did not choose to withdraw. They just expressed the hope that John Madden could seriously consider the current situation.

   "How are you doing with what you're going to do?"

  John Madden understands that at this time, there must be new things to stimulate the remaining four consortiums that are still competing, otherwise the two sides will continue to be deadlocked, and his side will eventually lower the price.

  Although they belong to Party A's father, they will eventually sell the shares of Wheelock.

  In another time and space, the acquisition of Wheelock this year ended up being nothing.

   But it is different now. After John Madden went through this incident, especially after hearing the comments of Xiangjiang people, he really began to feel less and less fond of Xiangjiang.

  So he wants to leave Xiangjiang as soon as possible.

   "It has been arranged, I believe this matter will be published in the newspaper tomorrow!" When Xiao Ma Deng said this at this time, he seemed to have a sense of venting.

  The withdrawal of the Four Seas Consortium and Swire still put a lot of pressure on him.

  John Madden nodded in satisfaction, and said, "They will be the ones to worry about then!"

   "Yeah!" Little Madden also nodded proudly.

.

   While everyone was paying attention to the acquisition of Wheelock, some people did not pay attention to it.

   "A bunch of idiots!" Throwing the evening paper in his hand on the table, Zhang Yuliang spoke disdainfully.

  Cheng Zhitao and Peng Guoliang, the black and white two confidantes, also appeared in Zhang Yuliang's office at the same time for the first time.

   "How are the arrangements for the transfer of funds going?" Zhang Yuliang first asked Cheng Zhitao.

   Now that he has completed the transaction with Chu Huan, although he doesn't know why Chu Huan misses the shares of Wheelock in his hand, Zhang Yuliang also got his own analysis results from the conversation with Chu Huan.

That is, if Chu Huan wants to sell his shares in Wheelock to Hehe International, it can only be Hehe International. Only after Hehe International gets the shares of Wheelock in his own hands can he make a final decision and end this situation. The acquisition of Wheelock that attracts the attention of the whole Hong Kong!

  If my analysis is correct, then the matter has actually been settled now, and I just wait for the time agreed with Chu Huan to arrive.

  But this has nothing to do with me anymore. The most important thing for me now is to transfer all the funds in my hand out of Xiangjiang without leaving any traces.

  Chu Huan still underestimated Zhang Yuliang's ambition after all. Although Wheelock's stock is the most high-quality asset for the Zhang family, it does not mean that the Zhang family only has these industries.

  They still have a western medicine business in Xiangjiang, and Daimaru Department Store, which cooperates with Seibu Department Store in Japan, and many properties. Zhang Yuliang will not give up these industries.

  So now Zhang Yuliang is only transferring the cash from the sale of Defeng shares in the trade fair with Chu Huan, as for the others, he still needs to continue to wait for opportunities.

   "We have already contacted our people in Australia, but one week is too tight!" Cheng Zhitao said.

  Zhang Yuliang said: "Even if it is urgent, it must be completed in a week."

  Cheng Zhitao could only say: "Understood!"

  Zhang Yuliang continued: "I don't worry about the others. You will fly to Australia tomorrow and supervise this matter yourself!"

  Cheng Zhitao nodded and said, "Yes!"

   After explaining to Cheng Zhitao, Zhang Yuliang began to explain to Peng Guoliang.

   "Although I have already got Chu Huan's guarantee, I can't just think that this matter can rest easy, so let me keep an eye on the other people in the Zhang family, and there can't be any problems!"

  Peng Guoliang nodded and said: "Understood, boss, don't worry!"

But then Peng Guoliang said: "But boss, a week later, the dust about the acquisition of Wheelock will definitely attract the attention of newspapers in Hong Kong, and they will also read about you in the newspapers. In terms of content, in my opinion, the way to prevent future troubles is to prevent them from seeing such reports!"

  Zhang Yuliang shook his head silently and said: "Of course I have a solution for this matter. If we do that, Chu Huan will have more handles. The gain outweighs the loss!"

   Also, Huangshan continues to code words~~
