Reborn Capital Tycoon - Chapter 254

  Chapter 254 Niu Bijian hit a wall

  After Frank finished speaking, Jardine’s senior executives frowned subconsciously. As senior personnel, they naturally understood the current situation of the company more or less.

   However, when the problem was posed in front of them, everyone still couldn’t believe that the liquidity of the huge Jardine Department was only a few hundred million.

  Yes, that’s right, for Jardine’s huge family business, a few hundred million is really nothing.

   But for other companies, a few hundred million is already a big sum. Even for listed companies these days, there are very few whose market value can reach several hundred million.

  Actually, under normal circumstances, Jardine can maintain normal operation by relying on these hundreds of millions of liquidity.

  However, considering the current problems facing Jardine Matheson, a few hundred million is obviously not enough, unless this number is increased tenfold.

   “Don’t worry about the funding issue, don’t worry everyone, I will contact other banks except the six major banks to provide us with support.”

   “What we need to consider now is how to deal with the acquisition of us by the six major banks. Other subsidiaries are temporarily ignored. Core subsidiaries such as Hongkong Land and Wharf must not fall into the hands of others.”

  Henry. Keswick is also a decisive person. He knows very well that as far as the entire Jardine Department is concerned, no matter how much money he borrows, it will be difficult to guarantee that other subsidiaries will not be snatched away by outsiders.

  Two fists are hard to beat four hands, so Henry. Keswick could only choose to throw away his car to save his handsome man. After living in Xiangjiang for so many years, he has learned some Chinese culture.

  When the high-level executives heard this, the worries on their faces were swept away.

  Yeah, so what about the six major banks? With Jardine’s relationship and strength, some banks are willing to lend to them.

At this time, Niu Bijian reminded: “Chairman, I think it is necessary for us to contact HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank. No matter what the reason is for the two companies to acquire our company, we should try to communicate with them. Communication between the two banks.”

“Now what Jardine is facing is not only the Chinese-funded forces and the British-funded forces, but also two foreign-funded banks, Citibank and Mitsubishi Bank. It needs to be consistent with the position of British capital.”

  When everyone heard it, their eyes lit up.

  Before they couldn’t figure out how HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank would get involved with Citibank and Mitsubishi Bank. You must know that the British are best at maneuvering, using political and diplomatic means to unite or divide.

  Similarly, the British often used this method in the shopping malls. In the early days, they united with the local merchants in the colonies to boycott merchants from other countries from the British market.

  Henry. Keswick thought for a while, then nodded in agreement and said, “Since you think you can contact HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, then I will leave this matter to you and see how the two banks respond.”

  Henry. Originally, Keswick did not intend to contact HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank. After all, the six major banks made the move together, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was calculated by someone.

  However, Niu Bijian, as Jardine’s second in command, is Henry. Keswick, who was born in the Keswick family, is the chairman and chairman of the board of directors of Jardine, but he still needs to be given the face of the number one general under his command.

  Niu Bijian met Henry. Keswick agreed to his proposal and said nothing more. Jardine has been run by the Keswick family for several generations, and almost all of its staff are close to the Keswick family from top to bottom.

   Regardless of Henry. No matter how capable Keswick is, as long as there are no major mistakes, no one can refute his words. Even his general manager, the nominal second-in-command, can only help the opponent.

  Jardines is facing such a big crisis this time, and the thoughts that Niu Bijian has been suppressing in his heart have gradually sprouted.

   It’s just that on the surface, everyone can see it.

As Jardine started to act, Boss Chen also received the news that he had Hong Shihui and others and the six major banks secretly buy the stocks of Hongkong Land, Wharf and Golden Gate Construction in order not to attract Jardine’s attention. .

  Now that Jardine already knows the news, there is no need to continue to hide it. Originally, the stock prices of the three companies soared today, so he knew that the matter must not be hidden.

  Jardine’s actions now also verify this point.

  Without hesitation, Chen Yi summoned Hong Shihui and the others to his office. After a short meeting, they left the company in a hurry to prepare for the battle in the afternoon.

   In the afternoon, the exchange reopened.

  After receiving Chen Yi’s notice, the six major banks unanimously changed their direction and launched a fierce attack on the two core enterprises of Jardine Matheson Land and Jardine Matheson, and frantically acquired the stocks of the two companies in the market.

   At the same time, the six major banks accepted Chen Yi’s entrustment to directly contact the behind-the-scenes shareholders of the two companies, and proposed acquisition requests to all shareholders of the two companies at a price higher than the market price.

  For a while, the battle between the six major banks and the Jardine Group caused shocks in the Xiangjiang stock market, making the people who eat melons confused.

   Okay, how did the six major banks get involved with the Jardine Group?

   And some bigwigs who have received the inside information have all focused their attention, some wait and see, some watch the fun and it’s not a big deal, and some are secretly preparing to make a fortune…

  Compared to the smoke and gunpowder outside, Shen Bi welcomed an old opponent in the office of the general manager of HSBC Bank.

  Both the general managers of the two foreign firms, although Shen Bi and Niu Bijian seldom contact each other in private, they often deal with each other in business.

  The place of Xiangjiang is really too small, and HSBC and Jardine Group are two behemoths. Even if there is a competitive relationship between the two parties, it is obviously impossible to say that they have no contact at all.

  Before coming to Shen Bi’s place, Niu Bijian had already been to Standard Chartered Bank, but unfortunately, Standard Chartered Bank ignored him and refused to disclose any information, making his trip for nothing.

  Actually, it’s not that Standard Chartered Bank doesn’t want to sell Niu Bijian’s face, it’s just that Chen Yi is now a major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, even though the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank has resistance to Chinese people.

  However, it is obviously impossible for them to sell their major shareholders. If they sell their own people, who will dare to become a shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank in the future?

  No useful information was obtained from Standard Chartered Bank, so Niu Bijian had to come to HSBC to try his luck. He didn’t believe that the six major banks were really united, and they were determined to unite to attack the Jardine Group.

   As the saying goes, “the lips are dead and the teeth are cold”, if Jardine collapses and the influence of foreign capital expands in Xiangjiang, then HSBC will undoubtedly lure the wolf into the house.
