Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon - Chapter 485
On December 1, 1982, after inviting Li Zhiwen and Bao Yugang several times to no avail, Sundars and Jeff Hunt finally decided to invite Li Zhiwen to start the two-party talks.
After all, they have no more time to delay, because the general meeting of shareholders will be held on December 5.
Although Niu Bijian obstructed the convening of the shareholders’ meeting in every possible way, there was no way. Niu Bijian could not represent all shareholders, so the shareholders’ meeting was finally settled.
The same is true on the court side, which has been evasive and inadmissible.
The three of Li Zhiwen had anticipated such a situation a long time ago, so they have been sending people to urge them, and Li Zhiwen began to slowly launch a public opinion offensive.
In the restaurant of Culture Oriental Hotel, Li Zhiwen and Sundashi sat facing each other.
“Mr. Li and Mr. Bao make us wait.” Sundarshi said, wanting to divide the three of them first.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhiwen was not fooled at all, and said: “Mr. Sandus, you also know that the three of us are allies, so just how do we negotiate.”
Sundars sighed, and then said: “Mr. Li, we are entrusted by the Governor of the Hong Kong Governor to discuss with you about Jardine Matheson, so let’s talk about your terms.”
Sundarsh moved out of Governor Youde directly, trying to overwhelm others.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhiwen didn’t catch the problem at all, and said directly: “Mr. Sandus, this is a normal business behavior and has nothing to do with the Governor. Did the Governor decide to intervene in the economic field and use his power to suppress others?”
“Of course not, otherwise it would not be Mr. Jeff and I here. We also hope that this matter can be settled by commercial means.” Sundas said.
“Mr. Sundas is right to say so, but this is a matter of Jardine Matheson. If Mr. Niu Bijian did not come forward, what is the reason for letting the two come forward?”
“Mr. Niu Bijian recently got sick, so please be a peacemaker, buffer zone.” Jeff Hunter said.
“Mr. Jeff, what kind of peacemaker is needed for this. Of course we did this to control the Jardine International Company. Besides, everything we did was not against the regulations.” Bao Yugang said.
“Owner of Jardine Matheson, I say you know that is impossible. Land Group owns 40% of the shares of Jardine Matheson. How can your 27% of the shares be owned by Jardine Matheson?” Jeff Heng Special said.
“Because it’s impossible, the Land Group does own 40% of Jardine’s shares, but it cannot be used when voting at the shareholders meeting.”
“With the Land Group removed, we are the largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson. Of course, we are also in charge of rebuilding the board of directors. All our operations are reasonable and legal.” Li Zhiwen said.
“Mr. Li, we know that people will not speak secretly, the Governor will not agree to this acquisition, and Niu Bijian will receive the full support of the Governor.”
“And at this sensitive moment, will the local people agree to your annexation of the No. 1 Ocean in Hong Kong? So Mr. Li still don’t think too much, tell us your terms, we will go to negotiate with Niu Bijian.” Sundas said.
“Since the Governor of Hong Kong has spoken, then I will sell his face, we can give up the shares of Jardine Matheson, but the Land Group must be controlled by us.” Huo Yingdong said.
“Okay, I agree, I will go back to talk with the Governor and Niu Bijian now, and let Niu Bijian abandon the Land Group.” Sundas said.
Sundarshi’s words caused Li Zhiwen and the three to cough, and it was really uncomfortable to be opposed by the generals.
“Mr. Sundashi joked, how could Mr. Niu Bijian give up the Land Group.” Li Zhiwen said.
“Why is it impossible? At this time, the real estate prospects are difficult to bear. Land Group has so many foreign debts. Instead of selling it to you, then Jardine Matheson will be debt-free.”
“But you will be miserable. You need to accept all the loans from the Land Group. If you can’t pay it off, Land Group will have to go bankrupt and liquidate.” Sundars said.
Li Zhiwen wanted to follow Bao Yugang’s words and take the Land Group.
But Li Zhiwen knew that it was impossible. No British guy would watch Land Group sell it.
Moreover, at this time, the Land Group is completely in a mess, and it is not a good opportunity to make a move at this time.
“Mr. Sangdashi, you are asking prices all over the sky and paying the money back on the ground. Do you want to make it so stiff?” Bao Yugang said peacefully from the side.
“Now, you said that first, it was not that I forced you, I just agreed to your terms!” Sandus said.
“Then talk about your real conditions.” Jeff Hunter said.
“Awen, Lao Huo, I just can’t do it, you think the performance is broken, let’s talk about our terms to Sandus and Mr. Jeff Hunt.” Bao Yugang pretended to be.
“Well, I want me to give up annexing the Jardine Group. I want Dairy Farm, Golden Gate Construction, and Jardine Insurance.”
“I currently hold 49% of the shares in Dairy Farm and Golden Gate Construction. The shares of Jardine Matheson in my hand can replace 51% of the shares in the two companies. In addition, I can give up the 800 million Hong Kong dollars lent to Jardine Matheson. “Li Zhiwen said.
“I want several properties in Central, such as Cultural Oriental Hotel, Kangle Building, Lishan Building, and Jardine Motors.”
“At the same time, I can hand over 200 million Hong Kong dollars in cash to Jardine Matheson.” Huo Yingdong said.
“Mr. Sandus, I don’t want much. I want Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminal, Hong Kong Wharf and Jardine Pacific Company.” Bao Yugang said with a smile.
Sundarth was very shocked, good fellow, one by one the lions opened their mouths.
Although the Land Group, the core property of Jardine Matheson, has not moved, other properties have been eliminated.
“Mr. Li, Mr. Huo, Mr. Bao, your appetite is too big, Niu Bijian and the Keswick family will not agree, you are going to carve up the Jardine House.” Sundas said.
“Yes, you have to make Niu Bijian vomit blood. Niu Bijian will not agree to it. The Keswick family will not agree to it. You have to die.” Jeff Hunter also said.
“Then let the Land Group give it to us, we can eat, as long as the Land Group, we don’t need other things.” Li Zhiwen said.
Sundars was speechless for a while, and Sundars said just now that the Land Group was just angry.
Because Sundars knows that the Land Group is the lifeblood of the Keswick family, how can such a core industry be sold to others.
“But this condition is too harsh, I can’t pass this level, let alone Niu Bijian and the Keswick family, if the three gentlemen are reduced.” Jeff Hunter said.
“Mr. Jeff Hunter hasn’t told Niu Bijian and the Keswick family about the terms. How do they know that they will not agree? Why don’t the two gentlemen go back and discuss with Jardine House?” Li Zhiwen asked.
“Well, then we will end this negotiation, and we will talk after we meet with the people from Jardine Matheson.” Sundas said.
“No problem, but Mr. Sundars would like to ask Jardine Matheson to make a decision as soon as possible. After all, we have been stepping up efforts to acquire the shares of Jardine Matheson. If we take the initiative in the shareholders meeting, we will say nothing. Agree to Jardine’s request.” Li Zhiwen said.
“Okay, I will tell them.” Sandus said.
“Thank you, then I won’t bother you two.” Li Zhiwen said.
“Then see you next time!” “Goodbye!” Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are about to leave with Li Zhiwen after they have spoken.
“Mr. Li, can we talk about that alone?” Sandus asked.
Li Zhiwen and Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong looked at each other and agreed.
Li Zhiwen sat down again, while Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong left first.
“Then I’m leaving too, talk about it!” Jeff Hunter stood up and prepared to leave after speaking.
“Mr. Jeff, no, you have a part in what I said!” Sandus said.
Hearing what Sandus said, Jeff Hunter sat down again.
“Mr. Li, I think Mr. Jeff also knows that Chen Songqing is a water blower!” Sandus asked.
“Of course, as a friend of Standard Chartered Bank, I don’t want Standard Chartered Bank to fall into the abyss.” Li Zhiwen confessed.
“Thanks to Mr. Li for his confession, but what I want to say is not this. I want to know when Mr. Li will take over the collateral we got from the Carrian Group.” Sandus asked.
Jeff Hunter is also very concerned about this topic, so he is also sitting tightly looking at Li Zhiwen.
“Of course it can be done anytime, and the sooner the better!” Li Zhiwen said.
“I want to know how Mr. Li paid. If it is said that the payment is made in installments, HSBC is not willing to accept it. We don’t want to deal with the second Chen Songqing anymore.” Sandus asked.
Sandus paid attention to Li Zhiwen’s business activities for several months.
From Lai Sun Group to Hutchison Whampoa and then to Hang Lung Bank, Li Zhiwen has already given out at least 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. Anyone will worry about Li Zhiwen’s capital chain.
“Mr. Sanders, Mr. Jeff Hunter don’t worry. For friends, I welcome them with both hands and will never entrap them. For these assets, I can pay 50% first, and then 50% before December next year. If I can’t pay the remaining balance before December next year. HSBC and Standard Chartered can take away these assets. Whether it’s auctioned or whatsoever, it has nothing to do with me. I think few people in Hong Kong can do it under such conditions. Right.” Li Zhiwen said.
Li Zhiwen did this to wait until next year’s Hong Kong dollar depreciation to pay the remaining 50%, so he would pay a large amount of money less, so why not do it.
Moreover, the conditions Li Zhiwen said are indeed unique in Hong Kong, and there will be no second company that can offer such generous conditions.
“I agree!” “I agree too!” Sanders and Jeff Hunt said.
“In this way, I will let the lawyers determine the contract. As for the value of these assets, we will wait for a few days to estimate.” Li Zhiwen said.
“No problem!” Sandus and Jeff Hunt said.
“In addition, Mr. Jeff Hunt, I hope you can complete the handover with Chen Songqing as soon as possible, because I don’t want to see him in Hong Kong anymore, I want to send him to Stanley for food soon!” Li Zhiwen said.
“Of course, I also hope to send Chen Songqing to Stanley as soon as possible. I don’t want to see him for a moment who doesn’t follow the rules.” Sundashi said.
“Me too.” Li Zhiwen said.
“Mr. Li, I would take the liberty to ask, you have sprinkled at least three billion Hong Kong dollars in just three months. I want to know where the funds come from. Of course, if Mr. Li is unwilling to answer no, it will not. Forced.” Sandus asked.
“I’m not willing to answer this. In fact, the two gentlemen don’t know. I am the spokesperson of a super family in Southeast Asia. They see opportunities in Hong Kong, so they entrust me to help them acquire the property. If Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC Bank have ideas to sell If they do, I think they will also be interested.” Li Zhiwen said.
When Sundars and Jeff Hunt heard Li Zhiwen’s words, they called for you. Li Zhiwen also wanted to go the way of Chen Songqing.
We don’t know the details of Chen Songqing, don’t we know the details of your bad guy’s son? Don’t say it if you don’t want to.
But Sundars still smiled and said, “Is it right? I didn’t expect Mr. Li to have this opportunity. He deserves to be a rich man who has risen in just four years.”
“Mr. Sundashi is absurdly praised, and I also coincided with it.” Li Zhiwen said.
After that, Li Zhiwen, Sundashi and Niu Bi left the restaurant with a plea.
“Sundus, how reliable do you think his words are?” Jeff Hunter said.
“Is it important to have a certain degree of credibility? Anyway, as long as Li Zhiwen can’t pay the remaining money, he will directly come to the door to accept the assets the next day.” Sundars said with a smile, and then said with a sip of coffee.
“That said, let him do all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, I will push it alone.” Jeff Hunter said the same.
In fact, Sundars felt that Li Zhiwen was like a spokesperson from the north, but when he thought of the relationship between Li Zhiwen and the Duke of Bedford and other British families, there were a lot of doubts.
But in the end Sundarsh shook his head, not thinking about it.
Even if Li Zhiwen is the spokesperson for the north, what does it have to do with HSBC? Anyway, HSBC is a financial institution, not a zz institution.
As long as there is money to make, HSBC is even willing to cooperate with the devil.
And Li Zhiwen, who left the Wenhua Hotel, saw Bao Yugang beckoning to him~www.mtlnovel.com~Li Zhiwen walked over and said directly: “They left me not to divide us, but before us. Some of their cooperation, they talk to me about Chen Songqing.”
“Awen, you have misunderstood. We don’t want to know what you are talking about. I believe in your character and won’t do it by yourself. I just want to ask you how confident they are in agreeing to the terms.” Bao Yugang Said.
“The degree of certainty depends on which Land Group and what we said they think is more important. After all, everyone will weigh it and make a trade-off.”
“But no matter what, we will win surely, right? After all, Youde can’t act recklessly like his predecessors at this time.” Li Zhiwen said.
“That’s right, after all, we are not lambs to be slaughtered.” Bao Yugang said.
“Old Bao said that, but I’m very curious about what Awen said about Chen Songqing?” Huo Yingdong said.
“You will know in a few days!” Li Zhiwen smiled mysteriously.
