Chapter 750 Bao Yugang: Want to lose? (7K big chapter, please subscribe~)

  At 9:1, the Wharf takeover battle officially begins!

  Bao Yugang also forcibly made himself forget about Chu Huan's temporary disappearance in Xiangjiang, and put all his mind on this acquisition battle.

   It was Fengwu Securities that bought Wharf shares for Pao.

   It is HSBC's Dolly and Jardine's Jardine who bought Wharf shares for Hongkong Land!

Although in terms of quantity, 2 is greater than 1, in fact, in order to cooperate with Pao's acquisition this time, Fengwu Securities was established in more than a dozen areas including Central, Sheung Wan, Western District, Causeway Bay, North Point, Mong Kok, Kowloon, and East Tsim Sha Tsui. In terms of acquisition points, Fengwu Securities has more acquisition points than Dolly and Jardine Fu combined.

  Bao Yugang should not only pay attention to the situation of Fengwu Securities' acquisition site at any time, but also pay attention to the acquisition situation of Huodoli and Jardine Fu.

   That is to say, at every acquisition point, people from Bao Yugang are watching. In fact, not only Bao Yugang is doing this, but Landmark is also doing the same.

   At this time, both parties have come up with their own conditions, and now it depends on the reaction of the shareholders.

   "How's the situation?"

  Bao Yugang sat in his office, looked at Wu Guangzheng who had just rushed back to report the news with a serious face and asked.

Wu Guangzheng stood opposite Bao Yugang, and said with a disappointed expression: "Although Fengwu Securities has more acquisition points, according to our reports and the company's internal statistics, we sold Jiulong Securities to the other party. There are more people holding stocks!"

  Bao Yugang's face was a bit gloomy. For this acquisition, he poured all his property. If it fails, it will be a big blow to Bao's!

Seeing Bao Yugang's expression, Wu Guangzheng thought for a while to comfort him and said, "Daddy, you don't have to worry that much. Although the other party has more people than us, we have more shares than them. What we bought before plus The shares of Wharf in the hands of Li Jiacheng, which we bought yesterday, are already much higher than Hongkong Land.

  The number of people missing now doesn't really matter much. "

Bao Yugang didn't seem a little relaxed because of Wu Guangzheng's comfort, but he said dissatisfiedly: "How can you be sure that you won't meet someone like Li Jiacheng at Landmark? The number of stocks in each person's hands is different. , How do you judge that those people queuing up to sell Wharf stocks have the same number of stocks in their hands?"

   Wu Guangzheng lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

Su Haiwen on the other side reminded: "Daddy, the reason why Hongkong Land has a large number of people is because their acquisition plan has an extra dividend of 1 yuan, which makes more shareholders of Wharf feel good about them. If we want to win Landmark, we still need to increase the purchase price!"

In fact, Su Haiwen had already mentioned this discussion to Bao Yugang when Hong Kong Land just came up with their acquisition plan. If the Bao family can't afford the price, it will be even more troublesome.

  Bao Yugang pondered: "Wait a minute, our side is now in the leading position. If it is still the case by this evening, we can only increase our own purchase price!"

  Wu Guangzheng suddenly said at this time: "By the way, didn't Chu Huan say before he disappeared that he would transfer the remaining 500 million Hong Kong dollars into Hong Leong International's account this afternoon?"

  Su Haiwen said with some dissatisfaction: "Do you still believe in Chu Huan at this time?"

  Wu Guangzheng faced Su Haiwen's accusation, and replied with some fierce words: "At this time, besides trusting Chu Huan, do we have other options?"

The problems that Bao Yugang encountered now are actually similar to the problems encountered by Henry Keswick. It is difficult but not impossible for them to raise hundreds of millions of cash. The important question is time!

  Hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in cash, not hundreds of thousands or millions, can be raised casually. Whether it is lent to them or mortgaged for a loan, it will take time! .

As the other party in the direct confrontation, the atmosphere at this time is not as relaxed as yesterday. As soon as the working hours arrived this morning, Henry Keswick received a call, and this call made them feel uncomfortable at this time. good reason.

   "Li Jiacheng, a duplicitous villain, has been secretly buying our shares in Wharf, and even sold the shares to Bao Yugang. It's simply abominable!"

   Bao Fuda preached angrily at this time.

Once upon a time, Li Jiacheng was a partnership with them, and even co-founded Hefu Investment and Chu Huan to compete with Qingzhou Yingni. Now Li Jiacheng has devoted himself to the Chinese merchants without looking back, and sold the shares of Wharf directly in his hands. To Bao Yugang, how could Bao Fuda not be angry in such a situation!

"According to our people, Hong Leong International paid 250 million Hong Kong dollars to Li Jiacheng in the account of Hong Leong International. According to the purchase price of Wharf by Hong Leong International, this stock should be 2.38 million shares. At that time, Pao already held shares in Wharf, more than 34%!"

  Although Niu Bijian was also very angry, he was still able to maintain his sanity and calculate the gap between them.

  However, judging from the data they obtained, they can also know that although they can know some of Hong Leong International's situation, they don't know very detailed.

   Otherwise, they would not think that Li Jiacheng just sold Wharf shares for 250 million Hong Kong dollars.

Henry Keswick nodded and said: "We can accept this number. Didn't our people already say that there are more people who come to us to sell Wharf shares? Although there is a gap in the number of shares held between us, But we have more cash in our hands, and we can acquire more Wharf stocks on this basis.

And without Chu Huan's support, Bao Yugang will inevitably have a shortage of funds in the final sprint stage. At that time, those who want to sell Wharf stocks will no longer trust them, and will definitely come to our side Selling their stocks! "

"But." Bao Fuda said worriedly: "We will also face the problem of shortage of funds in the later stage. Chu Huan has not shown up until now. If he finally decides not to buy Wellcome, 7-11, then we will also It is impossible to raise more funds in a short period of time!"

Niu Bijian shook his head and said: "No, between us and the Bao family, Chu Huan can only choose one of the two, either to support Bao Yugang, or to make a deal with us. It has already shown with a high probability that he is supporting us."

Although Henry Keswick also agrees with Niu Bijian's statement in his heart, Bao Yugang's current situation has shown Henry Keswick that he cannot pin all his hopes on Chu Huan alone. With more preparations, it is possible to deal with unexpected situations that may occur next.

"Prepare at both ends. We will continue to borrow money now, as much as we can borrow. The most important thing is to delay these three days. After these three days, our funds in England can be credited. At that time, no one will It is impossible to take Wharf away from us!"

  Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda could only nod their heads.

.

   The battle for Wharf can be said to be the focus of the whole of Hong Kong, and it is even more like HSBC, the super consortium that supports Hongkong Land behind the scenes.

   "How is the situation now?" Roy Bentley sat in his office and asked Shen Bi who was in charge of this matter.

  Shen Bidao: "Judging from the current situation, Hongkong Land is temporarily in the lead, but Bao's foundation is better. In the end, it is still unclear who will win the game!"

  Roy Bentley looked at Shen Bi and asked, "You should know that not only the two of them can't afford to lose this battle, but we also can't afford to lose, right?"

  As long as Chu Huan does not formally conduct a transaction with Jardine Matheson, then the specific situation is that Pao and Landmark are fighting to the death in the front, and Jiaku and HSBC are secretly competing.

Pu Weishi, who was sitting opposite Shen Bi, said at this time: "I think this takeover battle is actually over. Chu Huan has disappeared for one night plus one morning. It is obvious that he is deliberately avoiding Bao Yu." Just now, from the moment he disappeared, the sense of competition between us has actually become less intense.

We all know Chu Huan's character. This person is very confident. If he really wants to support Bao Yugang, he will definitely not disappear. Even if Henry Keswick came to him personally, if Chu Huan does not Yes, Henry Keswick has no choice.

And Wellcome, 7-11 is really attractive. If Yunhai Group can acquire it, then Yunhai Group's monopoly in the retail industry will exceed Jiaku's monopoly in all other industries in Xiangjiang. May not be tempted! "

  Pu Weishi's answer made Roy Bentley and Shen Bi slightly relieved.

   "It seems that now we can only wait and see the competition between the two sides. This time, we have to see who can continue to be proud in Xiangjiang!"

  Roy Bentley serene sermon.

   Shen Bi and Pu Weishi looked at each other. At this moment, they could only wait helplessly! .

  Since 9:00 in the morning, the purchase points of Fengwu Securities, Dolly, and Jardine Fu have never stopped queuing up. Cash and checks have been flowing out of the accounts of Hong Leong International and Landmark.

   Until noon, the queue was still there.

  Bao Yu just left the Prince's Building and came to the purchase point of Fengwu Securities in Central. Looking at the crowds queuing up, the anxious mood in his heart finally eased.

   Behind the acquisition point of Fengwu Securities is the Huaren Bank, the headquarters of Jiaku.

  Wu Guangzheng, who was sitting next to Bao Yugang, asked Bao Yugang, "Daddy, do you want to go up and have a look? Maybe Chu Huan has already returned by this time?"

  Bao Yugang shook his head and said: "No, it's useless to do these things at this time. We just need to wait until the afternoon to see if the money that A Huan promised is in the company's account, and we will know!"

   After a pause, Bao Yugang seemed to be speaking to Wu Guang, and seemed to be comforting himself.

   "Huo Tsar, since Li Jiacheng and the others believe in Chu Huan so much, we have no reason not to believe in Chu Huan. Yes, we must believe in Chu Huan!"

  Wu Guang was listening to Bao Yugang's self-talk, and didn't know what to say for a while. The feeling of putting his own destiny in the hands of others is really bad.

   "Go back to the company!"

  Bao Yugang preached in a deep voice, then the driver started the car and returned to the Prince's Building, the headquarters of Global Shipping!

   "Daddy, let's eat something first, you haven't eaten for a day!" Su Haiwen saw that Bao Yu had just returned, and began to speak.

  Bao Yugang shook his head and said, "No need, how much money is left in the company's account?"

   When launching the acquisition war against Wharf, Bao Yugang had 400 million Hong Kong dollars in cash in his own account, plus the 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash that Chu Huan lent them, a total of 1.4 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash.

  Before trading Wharf stocks in the hands of Li Jiacheng, 250 million Hong Kong dollars were spent, leaving 1.15 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash.

   Judging from the trading volume this morning, this money must have been spent a lot.

  Su Haiwen said: "A total of 300 million Hong Kong dollars was spent this morning, and there is still 850 million Hong Kong dollars in cash in the company's account."

   "300 million Hong Kong dollars, that is to say, almost 2.67% of the shares of Wharf have been acquired. In addition to the shares we acquired before and the shares held by Li Jiacheng, we now hold 39.34% of the shares of Wharf!"

  Bao Yugang looked at Su Haiwen and asked.

  Su Haiwen nodded and said, "That's right!"

   "Do you know the situation over there?" Bao Yugang asked.

  Su Haiwen was a little embarrassed, and said: "I don't know the exact number, but... I can be sure that the other party's acquisition of shares must exceed ours!"

  Bao Yugang nodded slightly, and said: "Fortunately, we had a lot more shares than them before, otherwise, it would be dangerous now!"

  Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng also looked lucky.

"The two of you are optimistic about the company's account. As soon as the funds that Chu Huan promised arrive in the account, the purchase price will be raised immediately. The price of 107 Hong Kong dollars per share will be purchased for the shares of Wharf and announced to the public. This is our final purchase price. .”

  Bao Yugang gave a speech.

  The faces of Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng changed suddenly. One was surprised and Bao Yugang believed that the money that Chu Huan promised to lend them would still arrive as promised.

   "Daddy, isn't it a little too risky for us to put the treasure on Chu Huan at this time?" Su Haiwen couldn't help asking.

It was Wu Guangzheng who reacted the fastest, and said: "Daddy, what you mean is that if Chu Huan's funds arrive in the account, we can do this, but if the funds that Chu Huan promised do not arrive, we will Continue to spend with Hongkong Land, waiting for the subsequent funds to arrive? Do this again?"

  Bao Yugang nodded and said, "That's right!"

   Then Bao Yugang explained: "If we don't do this, it will be difficult to guarantee that people like Li Jiacheng will not appear in the acquisition of Hongkong Land. At the same time, it will be difficult to guarantee that they will accumulate more and finally counter-kill us!"

  Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng could only nod silently after listening to Bao Yugang's analysis.

   Then they raised their second question.

The second is surprise and if they still announce a price increase at this time, it is very likely to cause malicious competition with Hongkong Land. When they raise the purchase price, Hongkong Land will definitely increase the purchase price. At that time, shareholders saw such a situation , it is very likely that they will subconsciously think that the price will rise at this price. If so, will they continue to sell their shares in Wharf, or continue to wait and see whether these two companies will continue to sell? price increase?

   More importantly, even with the support of Huo Tsar, Li Jiacheng and others, the price of 107 Hong Kong dollars per share is still not enough for their funds to meet the purchase price?

  Facing the question of the two, Bao Yugang sighed helplessly and said: "Now we are going to bet, bet to see who will finish the bullet in his hand first, us or Landmark.

  Nowadays, it is impossible for Hongkong Land to give up Wharf. Everyone can only fight a war of attrition, and you have to understand one truth, Hongkong Land can afford to lose, but we cannot afford to lose! "

The oil tankers are already being sold. If they cannot take over Wharf, then the shares of Wharf in their hands will fall crazily after the acquisition of Wharf is over, and the entire Pao Group will lose two or three billion Hong Kong dollars by then. Even Bao Yugang couldn't afford the loss!

   It is no exaggeration to say that this battle is related to Bao's life and death!

   While Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng were still digesting Bao Yugang's words, Bao Yugang's secretary rushed in suddenly, preaching nervously.

"Chairman, I just received the news that Hong Kong Land announced that it has raised the purchase price of Wharf stock from the previous price of 105 Hong Kong dollars per share to 107 Hong Kong dollars per share, and said that this is their final purchase price. No matter what happens, the price will not be raised again!"

  In the office, Bao Yugang, Wu Guangzheng, and Su Haiwen were shocked. They were still discussing the price increase just now, and now the other party actually raised the price first!

   "How is this possible?" Wu Guangzheng exclaimed in surprise, "How could they have so much money?"

  Yes, Henry Keswick and others who were still worried about raising funds just now, why did they suddenly increase the purchase price at this time? .

   "Daddy, I just read the news in the newspaper. Through the afternoon newspaper, Hongkong Land announced that it has increased the purchase price of Wharf. From the previous 105 Hong Kong dollars per share, it has now risen to 107 Hong Kong dollars per share!"

  Huo Zhenting took the newspaper and hurriedly found Huo Tsar.

   Emperor Huo Tsar was a little surprised when he heard the news, and asked the same question as Wu Guangzheng: "Where did they get so much money?"

   Huo Zhenting analyzed: "Could it be that they have already prepared the money, just to make a surprise attack on Bao Yugang at this time?"

Huo Tsar immediately said: "This is impossible. After A Huan disappeared, Hong Kong Land announced the acquisition of Wharf shares. I believe that Henry Keswick and others must have known that A Huan left Xiangjiang at that time, that is, At that time, they should have understood that there were some problems in the cooperation between A Huan and Bao Yugang. If this was the case, they could have announced an increase in their purchase price from the very beginning, which would be more beneficial to them .

  But now they have temporarily increased the purchase price, which shows that this is the money they got suddenly. "

   Huo Zhenting was a little puzzled, and said: "Then how did they get the money?"

.

   "How did Hong Kong Land suddenly raise this money?"

At the headquarters of Changshi, Li Jiacheng, who has been paying attention to this matter, was also surprised when he saw the newspaper in his hand. He believed that Henry Keswick could raise the funds, but in such a short time Li Jiacheng couldn't believe that so much money had been raised within a short period of time!

   "Chairman, if this is the case, Bao Yugang's side is likely to lose. If this is the case, our 275 million Hong Kong dollars on their side will be in danger!"

  Sheng Song couldn't help preaching.

  Nowadays everyone knows that Bao's funds are insufficient, and then Landmark suddenly took out more cash. In such a situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Bao's is in danger this time.

However, Li Jiacheng only received less than half of Bao Yugang's 5 million Wharf shares. If Bao could not win Wharf, he would lose two to three billion Hong Kong dollars. If they want to get back the funds at that time , that would be really dangerous, even if Bao Yugang said his word, it will be a matter of years before the money can be returned.

Zhou Qianhe also said excitedly at this time: "Chairman, we should immediately call Bao Yugang at this time and ask the other party to return the remaining 275 million Hong Kong dollars, otherwise, we will bear the loss for Bao Yugang !"

   Li Jiacheng didn't answer the questions of the two of them in the first time, Li Jiacheng naturally knew the problem in his heart, but

"If we recover the funds from Bao's at this time, although they can give us the money, Bao's will lose completely, and we don't know if there is a Hongkong Chinese-funded consortium to acquire a British-funded consortium. When is it!"

  What Li Jiacheng said is the same as what he said about Zheng Jiachun and his national integrity. Naturally, Li Jiacheng did not look at this matter because of the issue of national integrity.

  It is that he understands his identity. From outsiders' eyes, he is a Chinese businessman, and the acquisition of a British consortium by a Chinese businessman is an opportunity for the Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang to expand themselves in the future.

  Sheng Songsheng, Zhou Qian and the two of them knew of Li Jiacheng's ambitions, but they had no choice but to persuade them.

"Chairman, that's for the future. 275 million Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount. This money can be said to be our biggest income this year. If we have this money, we can carry out many projects next year. , as long as we can develop steadily, we may be the Chinese businessmen who will be acquired by the British consortium in the future, but without this money, we may continue to lag behind others!"

Li Jiacheng thought for a while, then waved his hands and said: "This matter can't be done, at least not now. It's not time for Chu Huan to agree to borrow money from Bao Yugang. If we find Bao Yugang and ask for money at this time, When the time came when Chu Huan agreed to help Bao Yugang and transfer the money, Chu Huan really lent money to Bao Yugang.

  Then we will lose at that time, not only the things we did before will be in vain, but even those foreign-funded enterprises will think that we are double-faced villains, and we must not do this! "

  Sheng Song couldn't help but said: "Chairman, what time is this, and there are so many worries, not to mention that even Chu Huan has given up helping Bao Yugang now, and we are only protecting ourselves now!"

   Obviously, Sheng Songsheng no longer believed that Chu Huan would help Bao Yugang anymore.

  Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "I always have to wait. I always think that Chu Huan's behavior this time is different from his style. Wait, wait!"

  The last two 'wait a minute' are like Li Jiacheng cheering for himself!

   Sheng Songsheng, Zhou Qian and the two looked at each other speechlessly!

.

   Not only Bao Yugang, Huo Tsar, Li Jiacheng and others were puzzled by this matter, even HSBC, which supported Hongkong Land, was confused by the sudden price increase of Hongkong Land at this time.

   "Have you contacted Henry?" Roy Bentley looked at Shen Bi and asked.

  They have a better convenience than Bao Yugang, Huo Tsar, Li Jiacheng and others, that is, as a partnership, they can directly contact Henry Keswick to ask the truth of the problem.

  Shen Bi nodded and said: "We have already contacted, Henry Keswick said that the funds came from England!"

   "England?" Roy Bentley was stunned for a moment, and said, "How could they have raised such funds in England so quickly?"

  Shen Bi shook his head and said: "Henry Keswick didn't answer, but from the tone of the other party, he can also feel that he was a little surprised when the funds arrived!"

.

  Henry Keswick was indeed a little surprised, but at the same time he looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise.

  Michael Keswick, a character who will be passed away if he doesn't show up.

  The one who formed the Avengers Alliance with Huang Yulang and others to target Chu Huan.

   Following the failure of that targeting, Michael Keswick became less and less important in the Keswick family. Later, when Henry Keswick returned to London, he followed suit.

But this time, he impressed Henry Keswick. Before coming to Xiangjiang in London, Henry Keswick contacted his relationship in England to borrow money. The time is also on Wednesday of this week.

   As a result, Michael Keswick dealt with many times in London, and actually let the other party prepare the funds in advance.

   Just when Henry Keswick was discussing today's acquisition with New Bijian, Bao Fuda and others, Michael Keswick came to the office with the funds.

   "Haha, the whole of Xiangjiang has been stunned now, no one would have thought that we would spend this extra amount of funds at this time!"

   Bao Fuda was very happy to preach at this time.

  Henry Keswick looked at Michael Keswick with admiration, and praised: "Michael, you did a good job this time!"

   "Then will we be able to win Wharf this time?"

  Michael Keswick also asked excitedly.

   "With your funds, our hope is even greater, but we still need to make a deal with Chu Huan as soon as possible!"

  Although Michael Keswick brought back some funds, they still have a big hole and still need Chu Huan's funds!

  Michael Keswick frowned slightly when he heard Chu Huan's name. He didn't know the conversation between Henry Keswick and Chu Huan.

   "Why is there still Chu Huan's deal?" At this time, Michael Keswick also had the courage to ask about this matter.

  Bowford got instructions from Henry Keswick and began to answer Michael Keswick's questions.

.

  Bao Yugang sat on his chair with a dazed expression, as if everything was over.

   Is it really going to fail?

  Bao Yugang clenched his fists tightly.

  At this moment, the phone on his desk rang, and Bao Yugang picked it up subconsciously.

   "Who?"

   "Chu Huan!"

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