Chapter 678 Disturb this pool of water (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

   Niu Bijian called Bao Yugang to ask whether Bao Yugang wanted to continue to buy shares in Wharf.

  Although Niu Bijian also understood that if Bao Yugang was really interested in Wharf, he would definitely not tell himself the real answer.

  In Niu Bijian's office, Bao Fuda, general manager of Hongkong Land, looked at Niu Bijian who had just hung up the phone and asked, "How did Bao Yugang reply?"

  Niu Bijian said with an uncertain expression: "Bao Yugang naturally denied the news, and used Wharf's current stock price to prove it."

Bao Fuda pondered: "This matter is a bit strange. Who on earth disclosed this news? Regardless of whether Bao Yugang really wants to continue to buy shares in Wharf, I think it is the person who revealed this news. Human purpose is also very questionable!"

   Niu Bijian didn't care about such doubts, and said: "It should be that some people have some Wharf stocks in their hands and want to sell them at a high price, so they disclosed this news!"

   Bao Fuda had a different opinion, and said: "If this is the case, since the other party knows that Bao Yugang has not really given up on continuing to buy Wharf's stock, then he can sell it to Bao Yugang at a high price?"

   Niu Bijian also had his own persistence, saying: "If this is the case, Bao Yugang will definitely use Wharf's current stock price to lower the other party's selling price!"

  Bao Fuda thought about Niu Bijian's analysis and said, "It's also possible!"

   While the two were discussing this matter, the phone on Niu Bijian's desk rang.

   "I'm New Bijian, who?"

   "I'm Henry Keswick!" A deep voice came from the phone. It was Henry Keswick, the boss of Jardine, and the current helm of the Keswick family.

  Henry Keswick made a special call this time, and also received information in London about Bao Yugang's desire to continue increasing his holdings of Wharf stocks.

  Although Niu Bijian is now the senior class of Jardine, he is still working for the Keswick family in the final analysis. After hearing what Henry Keswick meant, he replied.

"I just finished talking with Bao Yu on the phone, and the other party denied the news, but this matter is absolutely doubtful, and we are preparing to investigate who revealed this matter, and what is the purpose of this person? "

  Henry Keswick said coldly: "Wharf is a very important company of Jardine, and it is absolutely not allowed to fall into anyone's hands. I hope you can understand this!"

   Holding the phone, Niu Bijian nodded slightly and said, "I understand!"

"That's good!"

After hanging up the phone, Niu Bijian said to Bao Fuda: "Now no matter who discloses this news, and whether Bao Yugang really wants to continue to increase the shares of Wharf, what we have to do is to increase our The number of shares held in Wharf, as long as this can be achieved, no matter what, it is definitely impossible for Bao Yugang to really get the control of Wharf."

Bao Fuda nodded, but this is also difficult for them: "If the company wants to continue to increase its holdings of Wharf's stock, then it must have more funds to enter the stock market to buy Wharf's stock, and as long as our funds enter , it will definitely cause turmoil in the stock market, and the stock price of Wharf will definitely rise again, and this will definitely be a lot of money by then!"

  New Bijian said: "I think we should sell some of Jardine's shares. In this way, we will have enough funds to support our acquisition of Wharf's shares!"

Bao Fuda said: "Although this is a good way, if this is the case, our shareholding in Jardine will drop. Don't forget the information provided by Roy and Shen Bi. Everyone has an idea!"

   Niu Bijian scratched his head a little and asked, "How many shares of Jardine does Chu Huan hold now?"

Bao Fuda said: "At least between 5% and 7%. At the beginning, Chu Huan supported HSBC's acquisition of Ocean Milan Bank in North America, so as to obtain 5% of HSBC's shares in our Jardine. In the past few years, I have been letting the securities company They are keeping a close eye on the stocks of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land, and there is no large-scale or targeted stock acquisition, so I deduce that Chu Huan's shares in Jardine Matheson should be in this figure range!"

Speaking of this, Bao Fuda paused for a moment, and then said: "There is one more thing we need to pay attention to, and that is to sell Jardine's shares to acquire Wharf's shares. This matter is too big and requires the approval of the board of directors. And the support of the Keswick family."

  Niu Bijian said: "You prepare this matter in Xiangjiang first, and I will fly to London myself to discuss this matter with Keswick."

In fact, in another time and space, at the beginning of the Wharf war, Jardine used this method to sell Jardine's stock in exchange for more funds, which were used to buy Wharf's stock, in case Bao Yugang really continued to increase his holdings of Nine Dragons warehouse, which in turn caused Jardine to lose control of Wharf.

But in the end, Bao Yugang got the loan support from HSBC, and even made a gesture of breaking the boat. In the end, Jardine saw that Wharf could no longer keep it. All the stocks in the warehouse were sold to Bao Yugang.

   This also allowed Jardine to get a large part of the funds to develop its other industries, but it also weakened their control over Jardine!

  Bao Fuda nodded and said, "Actually, we have another way."

  Niu Bijian asked: "What way?"

   Bao Fuda said: "Ask HSBC for help. If HSBC can support us with a fund, maybe we don't need to sell Jardine shares to raise funds!"

   Niu Bijian said with some concern: "According to the relationship between HSBC and Bao Yugang, will they agree to this loan?"

Bao Fuda said with some confidence: "I think HSBC will agree. Now that Chu Huan's Jiaku is developing more and more steadily in Xiangjiang, there are almost no shortcomings. I want to compete with Jiaku. It is basically impossible to improve HSBC's own influence.

  So HSBC needs more partners to help them continue to improve their influence.

I found out that Shen Bi has been in contact with several major real estate developers in Xiangjiang recently, and is also looking for companies with potential in Xiangjiang to provide investment support. However, these things take time, but we, Jardine, as one of the three major consortia With the existence of one, if we can deepen our relationship and cooperation, I believe HSBC will be happy with such a result! "

  Niu Bijian thought for a while, and said: "Since you are so confident in this matter, then I will leave this matter to you. I only have one request, to keep Wharf!"

  Bao Fuda nodded and said, "I understand!"

"In addition, when we have not raised cash, you have to issue a statement in my name, saying that Jardine believes in Bao Yugang. As for the news spread in the market, it is just that some people want to provoke us It's just a trick used by contradictions!"

  Nubijian told Bao Fuda.

.

   "Both Bao Yugang and Jardine Matheson have issued statements, saying that the rumors this time are fundamentally groundless, and Bao Yugang has no idea of ​​increasing his holdings of Wharf stock!"

  Wu Shuhan, who had rushed back to Xiangjiang in his hometown, reported to Chu Huan that it was Bao Yugang who was going to increase his holdings of Wharf stocks.

  Chu Huan sat on the sofa in his office, pulled Wu Shuhan into his arms, and spoke with a smile.

   "I just came back from my hometown, so I don't have to worry about work so much. Do you want to give yourself two days off?"

  Wu Shuhan nestled in Chu Huan's arms, and said with a smile: "It's okay, anyway, it doesn't matter if I stay at home, so I might as well come to the company to accompany you!"

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "Okay!"

Wu Shuhan said to Chu Huan: "Boss, according to the news from Fengwu Securities, after the statements of Jardine Matheson and Bao Yugang, the share price of Wharf, which was on the rise just now, has returned to 21 Hong Kong dollars. Price, what should we do next?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Don't worry, neither of them has prepared sufficient funds to fight this battle, but I think after this news, both of them will definitely start raising funds, you let Feng Wu People on the securities side pay attention to Jardine's actions. As long as they sell their shares, they will immediately let Japanese funds enter the Xiangjiang market to buy shares in Wharf. Before the end of this year, I will let Wharf's share price rise to 70 Hong Kong dollars per share!"

Wu Shuhan nodded and said: "Understood, as long as the stock price of Wharf is higher, Jardine will raise more funds to increase their shares in Wharf, and we can acquire more shares of Jardine. "

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Don't expect it to be so smooth. Jardine has been operating in Xiangjiang for so many years, and the relationship is intricate. In addition, the development of Jiaku is so strong and smooth now. HSBC will definitely take action. If my prediction is correct, HSBC will soon participate in this battle!"

Wu Shuhan asked a little incomprehensibly: "But this matter, so far on the surface, has nothing to do with us at all, and the relationship between HSBC and Bao Yugang is so good, they will help Jardine on this matter ?"

  Chu Huan thought of the current scene and found it very interesting.

In another time and space, during the Wharf takeover battle, Bao Yugang had the confidence to compete with Jardine until he received 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars from HSBC. In the end, this battle is very likely to become a multi-party melee in which I support Bao Yugang and HSBC supports Jardine.

"Yes, as long as HSBC does not want to fall behind our Jiaku, then they must have more supporters in Xiangjiang, and this time is their opportunity. There has always been competition and cooperation between Jardine and HSBC, but this A difference, if the two of them can cooperate, it will send out a signal, that is, the cooperation between the two major consortiums of Xiangjiang will be upgraded again.

   This is the best publicity for both of them, so HSBC will definitely not give up this opportunity! "

  Wu Shuhan nodded in understanding.

   "By the way, boss, I brought back some letters written to you from my hometown, and they are in my room now. I will ask Han Yang to bring them in for you!"

  Chu Huan asked with a smile, "Who wrote me the letter?"

  Wu Shuhan stood up in Chu Huan's arms, and said with a smile: "You will know when you read it!"

   After finishing speaking, Wu Shuhan walked to the door of Chu Huan's office and asked Han Yang to bring in the things in his room.

  Chu Huan looked at the two big bags in front of him, and asked Wu Shuhan speechlessly: "Written by some people?"

Then Wu Shuhan smiled and explained to Chu Huan: "This is the thank you letter written by Hailiang and his classmates. As you said, we should attach great importance to them, so I will bring all the thank you letters written by them. came back!"

  Wu Shuhan spent the past few months in his hometown, although he was mainly in Shenghai busy with the recruitment of Shenghai Art Studio, but at the same time he also went to the capital several times to deal with some matters.

   "How is Yu Hailiang doing now?" Chu Huan asked.

  Wu Shuhan said with a smile: "Now I am studying in the Department of Economics of Peking University. I am working very hard, which is very good!"

What Chu Huan had done in his hometown before, he was looking at things that would happen ten or twenty years later, so he didn't pay much attention to them now, but he was a little impressed when he heard that Yu Hailiang was able to be admitted to Beijing University, after all No matter when it is, it is not easy to enter Beijing University.

   Moreover, Chu Huan also knew that the Department of Economics of Beijing University produced a large number of talents this year, and many of them became leaders in the political and business circles.

   "Okay, I'll read the letter here, and you can tell me what you have seen and heard in my hometown during this time."

   While talking, Chu Huan opened the first sack, which was full of envelopes.

  Seeing Chu Huan's actions, it was Wu Shuhan's turn to be surprised this time, and asked, "Boss, are you really watching?"

  Chu Huan chuckled, "Look, I happen to be addicted to being a star too!"

Afterwards, Wu Shuhan discovered that Chu Huan was actually reading it, and not only was he reading it, he would even reply to the other party after reading it. Although the content was not much, he thought that if he really read the two sacks of letters like this, And reply one by one, I am afraid that there is no time to finish it in a few days.

  Wu Shuhan naturally didn't think of Chu Huan's thoughts. Many times, a one-time kindness will lead to an inevitable connection between the two parties, but no one is sure how reliable this connection is.

   Only occasional inadvertent actions will bring the distance between the two sides closer.

  For Chu Huan, what he pays now is just a little time, but what he may reap in the future is the other party's steadfast follow.

   No matter how you look at it, it is a worthwhile investment.

   Until he got off work in the afternoon, Chu Huan only read a quarter of the letters, and then let Han Yang and the others come in, "Take these letters home!"

  At this moment, Wu Shuhan understood that Chu Huan was really not putting on a show this time.

   "I think those people, if they receive a reply from your boss, they will definitely be very excited!"

  Chu Huan smiled: "But this is really a physical job, and now I feel a little pain in my wrist. It seems that when I get home, I have to let them press it!"

  Wu Shuhan nodded and asked, "Boss, I want to go back with you to see Sister Yunshang. I brought some supplements for her in my hometown. Sister Yunshang should use them."

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "Then let's go together!"

  The two returned to No. 12 Mount Kellett Road together. Chu Huan went for a massage, and Wu Shuhan went to chat with Cao Yunshang.

  When Chu Huan came out from the massage, he saw Chen Xincheng sitting in the living room alone in a daze.

   "What do you think, uncle?" Chu Huan walked over and asked with a smile.

  Chen Xincheng asked Chu Huan in embarrassment: "A Huan, the little girl in the study who does business with Amao will be Amao's wife in the future?"

  Chen Xincheng never thought of it. He just went back to his hometown. After returning, his son actually has a fiancee. You must know that his son is not yet 10 years old!

   Having a fiancée at such a young age, and listening to Zeng Hong, this is still a little princess of a Japanese super family. Anyway, he feels quite dreamy.

  Chu Huan asked with a smile: "What? You don't like Sumitomo Ryoko?"

Chen Xincheng shook his head: "That's right, this little girl is very polite and well-behaved, but it feels a little weird. Our Mao was a crazy kid who peed and played with mud before, but now he is with the Japanese super family Your little princess is engaged, don't you find it strange?"

It's not that Chen Xincheng is self-deprecating, it's mainly because he hasn't changed his mind yet. If Chu Huan hadn't found them back then, they would still be living together in a small house in the alley. This time he returned to his hometown , also visited some old friends.

  As more and more young people returned home, housing in Shenghai began to become a problem. Many families had more than a dozen people squeezed into a small house of tens of square meters.

  According to the normal situation, with this situation in my own family, I am afraid that I will have a headache about Ah Mao's marriage in the future, but it is now better.

   Not only did he not have to worry about such things, Chu Huan also found a daughter-in-law with such an awesome background for his son.

   "A Huan, let me tell you the truth. Although Amao is my son, let's talk about it. Liangzi is much more sensible than our Amao."

After listening to Chen Xincheng's words, Chu Huan still just smiled, and said: "Uncle, you don't need to take this kind of thing to heart, the situation like Sumitomo Ryoko's is only because of the different education they received since childhood, to put it bluntly I was lucky when I was reincarnated, but now the Sumitomo family came to tie the knot with us, that is to say, they are currying favor with us.

  Amao is still young, when they grow up, the situation will be different! "

  Chen Xincheng nodded. Regarding the engagement between Amao and Sumitomo Ryoko, Chen Xincheng actually didn't have much thought. He also stayed in Xiangjiang for a while, so he naturally understood what the Sumitomo family represented in Japan.

   Such a big family became his in-laws, and Chen Xincheng also understood that the fate of their family was different.

  My son will definitely become a big shot in the future.

   "By the way, uncle, let's talk about your own affairs. This time, you brought people over from Shenghai Art Studio. You have worked hard."

   "No hard work!" Chen Xincheng hurriedly interrupted Chu Huan, and said with a smile: "It's all about my own family, and I should do what I do."

Chu Huan said: "It's like this. I told my aunt before that when you come back, I can set up a comic company for you. Of course, if you have your own ideas, you can also tell me. When the time comes, I will let Xu Let them arrange for you!"

  Chen Xincheng already knew about this matter from Zeng Hong, thought for a while and said: "If possible, I still want to open a comic company, after all, this is the job I am most familiar with!"

  Chu Huan nodded, and said: "Then start a comic company. You can find a place first, and when you find a place, I will let Xu Yi and the others arrange the other things!"

  Chen Xincheng smiled and said, "Ah Huan, thank you for this incident!"

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "Uncle, we are all one family, so don't talk about it!"

"Ok!"

.

   Soon Chen Xincheng found a place he liked, but it turned out that the building was still a real estate project of Zhulu Real Estate, and the rest of the matter was much easier.

   According to Chu Huan's request, Xu Yi deposited two million Hong Kong dollars into the company's account, which was regarded as supporting Chen Xincheng's own business.

  Since Chen Xincheng has already started his own business, Chu Huan will naturally not favor one another, so Chu Huan chatted with Chen Shuli again, but Chen Shuli doesn't want to start her own business anymore, but wants to open a seafood shop!

   "Don't worry!"

  This is Chen Shuli's own idea.

  Chu Huan also has no objection to this, and also supported Chen Shuli with 2 million yuan to set up her own seafood shop. As for the shop, it was naturally provided by Zhulu Real Estate.

  Zhenlu Real Estate not only has its own industrial buildings and commercial buildings, but also countless shops.

   After the matter between the two of them was settled, it was already October!

  During this period, the negotiations between Bao Fuda and Shen Bi also came to an end.

   HSBC verbally agreed to support Jardine!

  With the support of HSBC, Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   "It's all right now, both Henry and HSBC have chosen to support our plan, so the next thing will be much easier!"

   Niu Bijian has returned from England, and at the same time brought back good news for them. Henry Keswick agreed to Niu Bijian's request to sell Jardine shares and then use the funds to acquire Wharf shares.

"Now with the support of HSBC, I don't think we need to sell Jardine shares in a hurry. After all, if this happens, it will cause some sensation in the Xiangjiang stock market. Now the news about Wharf has just fallen back. If the market breaks out at this time that we The sale of Jardine's shares is likely to attract some people's attention!"

  Bauford preached to Newbiken.

  Niu Bijian nodded and said, "I think so too."

   "However, it's strange to say that, I thought that Wharf's stock price would have some changes in the recent period, but I didn't expect that the market's stock price of Wharf would slowly fall back to the price of 21 Hong Kong dollars!"

  Bauford had some weird sermons.

  Niu Bijian pondered and said: "Maybe our previous guess is correct. The bigger possibility of the previous revelation is that some people want to fish in troubled waters, raise the stock price of Wharf, and then sell it!"

   "It seems that there is no other explanation besides this explanation!" Bao Fuda couldn't think of any other possibility at this time.

"Forget it, let's not think about this matter. No matter what that person thinks, we must proceed with the purchase of Wharf shares now, but we must be careful about this matter now, and we must not let it go." People know, otherwise, our cost will increase a lot!"

  Niu Bijian preached quickly at this time.

Bao Fuda nodded. Although Jardine Matheson, as the controlling shareholder of Wharf, hoped that Wharf's stock price would always be at a high level, the situation is different now. Now they hope to reclaim the shares of Wharf, so naturally they hope that Wharf's stock price will remain high. The lower the better.

   "Then I will arrange this matter now!"

   After finishing speaking, Bao Fuda turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Niu Bijian stopped Bao Fuda and said seriously: "When Henry and I were discussing this matter before, the two of us had the same idea on another matter. This time I also want to tell you!"

   Bao Fuda didn't quite understand and asked: "What is it?"

  Niu Bijian said: "Henry and I both hope that you can enter the board of directors of Wharf and become a director, so that we can better guarantee our right to speak in Wharf!"

  Bao Fuda is currently the general manager of Hongkong Land and a member of the board of directors of Hongkong Land, but strictly speaking, he has nothing to do with Wharf.

   Now Niu Bijian wants to bring Bao Fuda into the Wharf board of directors, and his purpose is to increase their voice on the board of directors.

  After hearing the news, Bao Fuda was very happy in his heart, but at the same time he also had his own worries.

"If this is the case, will Bao Yugang have any opinions? If because of this incident, he realizes that we want to increase our holdings of Wharf's stock, I think it is a bad thing. "

Niu Bijian smiled and said: "We have already thought about this point. Although now, no matter whether it is Bao Yugang or us, everyone has already understood the other party's thoughts on Wharf, but it is true that you are on the board of directors of Wharf at this time. It's very suitable, but we can wait until HSBC gets the money to buy shares in Wharf, and then we can put you on the board of Wharf!"

  Bao Fuda nodded and said, "This is indeed the safest way!"

   While the two were discussing how to persuade other directors to let Bao Fuda join the Wharf board of directors, Niu Bijian's secretary suddenly hurried in.

   "Mr. Taipan, the securities company just called suddenly, saying that someone has just suddenly started buying stocks in Wharf!"

  Nu Bijian and Bao Fuda were taken aback at the same time, and then their expressions changed drastically. The sudden situation will disrupt all their previous plans!

   "Did Bao Yugang make it?"

  Niu Bijian hurriedly asked.

   This is what he is most worried about!

   Correct the typo first and then change it, and Huangshan continues to code~
