Reborn Capital Tycoon - Chapter 258

  Chapter 258 Black under the lamp

  Early the next morning, the exchange hadn’t opened yet.

  A piece of gossip came out of the mouths of the senior employees of the six major banks, which shocked the entire circle of bigwigs in Xiangjiang for a while.

  The content of the news is very simple. The six major banks found out that Boss Chen holds a large number of shares in Landmark and Jardine Matheson. Now the six major banks are preparing to acquire the shares held by Boss Chen.

  This sudden news, although it has not been confirmed by anyone, has made all the people who received the news start to pay close attention to it.

  Especially the bigwigs in various circles, many of them have already prepared small benches, put down all their work deliberately, and plan to enjoy the game between the six major banks and Jardine today.

  But I never thought that the exchange has not yet opened today.

  Things had a dramatic turnaround, and it also involved Boss Chen, who is now in the limelight.

   If you want to talk about who in Xiangjiang has the most limelight and attracted everyone’s attention in the past year, there is no doubt that it is our boss Chen.

  From scratch to a toy king, Boss Chen has built a humble toy factory into the largest toy giant in Xiangjiang and even Asia in less than a year.

  The Rubik’s Cube toy he invented became even more popular overseas. During the entire second half of last year, Boss Chen alone almost took over half of the front-page headlines of the major media in Xiangjiang.

  In the past year

  Boss Chen is recognized by everyone as the brightest boy.

  Compared to last year, this year’s Big Boss Chen is even more terrifying.

  His multi-billion net worth was exposed, which immediately aroused heated discussions among the upper and lower levels of the entire Xiangjiang River. From an 80-year-old man to a child of a few years old, almost no one did not know the name of Big Boss Chen.

   Not long ago, the establishment of Kowloon Bus, HK Electric and Asia Telecom pushed Boss Chen to the peak of public opinion.

If it is said that Boss Chen holds a large amount of Jardine Group stocks, basically no one doubts it, because when Boss Chen’s worth was exposed years ago, his series of bottom-hunting actions were more or less covered by various parties. The big media broke the news.

  So, when the news came out, no one doubted the truth of the matter. Instead, the focus of everyone’s attention was on how many Jardine Group shares Chen Yi held.

   Now that Jardine and the six major banks have matched up, if Boss Chen really holds a large amount of Jardine’s stock, it is very likely to reverse the current situation between Jardine and the six major banks.

  This kind of black behavior under the lights made all the uninformed people not suspect that Boss Chen was the mastermind behind the whole thing.

   I don’t know what the major media in Xiangjiang will write after the next incident is exposed. Even Jardine Harmony dares to calculate, and no one has the courage.

  Kangle Building

  Henry. In Keswick’s office, Henry. Keswick and Niu Bijian were sitting together drinking coffee. It can be seen from their mental state that they didn’t sleep well last night.

  Thinking about it, too, such a big thing happened yesterday, the two of them were busy raising funds until half the night before going home.

  Although the funding was resolved, new problems arose again. The two of them were woken up by the same phone call early in the morning, and finally rushed to the company in a hurry.

  Neither of them expected that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway through this matter, which made the two of them who had put down their worries once again raised their hearts.

  Henry. Keswick: “Is the news confirmed? Has that Mr. Chen contacted the six major banks? How much stock does he hold in our company?”

  Niu Bijian nodded and said: “It’s confirmed now, that Mr. Chen definitely holds a large number of shares in Landmark and Jardine Matheson. It is said that they bought them from the market when the stock market fell at the end of last year.

  The specific number of shares that the other party has been transferred is not very clear yet, but one thing is certain, the number should not be less than 15%. “

  According to previous reports from the major media, none of the companies that Boss Chen buys shares in has a shareholding ratio of less than 15%.

  According to this habit, Niu Bijian believes that if Boss Chen really holds the shares of Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson, it should not be less than this ratio.

   “Why are there so many?” Henry. Keswick frowned.

  If other times, the 15% shares, Henry. Keswick would not care, but the current situation is too special. Once Chen Yi really has so many stocks in his hands, and the six major banks take up the stocks in Chen Yi’s hands, the shareholding ratio is likely to exceed them.

You must know that the Jardine Group holds the shares of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land. Even after yesterday’s repurchase, the shareholding ratio of the two companies has not reached 30%. If the amount of shares held by Chen Yi Above 15 percent, the situation is bad.

With a somewhat envious tone, Niu Bijian said: “It’s not surprising. Hong Kong Land’s profits have always been among the best in Hong Kong. Last year, the stock market crashed and Hong Kong Land’s stock price fell severely. It is reasonable for that Chen Sheng to take a fancy to it.” middle.”

   “It was previously reported by the media that Chen Sheng also bought a large number of stocks of Chinese-funded real estate companies. It can be seen that he is very optimistic about the future development of the Hong Kong real estate industry.”

  “The share price of Hongkong Land fell so much last year, I think the other party’s holdings may be more than we thought.”

   As he spoke, Niu Bijian changed the topic, “I remember that Manager Wu reported to the chairman a few years ago that HSBC secretly purchased the shares of Hongkong Land, the chairman, you should be clear about it.”

  Henry. A trace of embarrassment flashed across Keswick’s face, “At that time, the other party didn’t pay much attention to it because they didn’t buy much.”

  He really didn’t pay much attention to this matter at the time, because under normal circumstances, as long as a shareholder holds 5% of the company’s shares, he will send a Jardine representative to the company to act on shareholder rights and interests.

  But HSBC has never sent anyone to come, and the stock price of Hongkong Land has been falling, so everyone didn’t pay much attention.

  Henry. In order to ease the embarrassment, Keswick quickly said: “Since it has been confirmed that Mr. Chen holds a large number of shares in Hong Kong Land and Jardine Matheson, then we can’t continue to sit still, we need to contact each other quickly, otherwise let It’s not going to be good if the big six banks are taking the lead.”

  Niu Bijian nodded and said: “Leave this matter to me. I will visit that Mr. Chen in person in a while to see if there is any chance to buy back the shares he holds.”

  Henry. Keswick shook his head and refused: “No, you can’t leave the company for the time being, and the exchange will open in half an hour. If you leave, who will be in charge of your work?”

  What is the situation with Chen Yi, and whether he is willing to transfer the shares to them? This is unknown. At present, the best way is to try to buy back the tradable shares from the stock market.

   If you really can’t do it, just spend your life and money. The Jardine family has a big business, and the last thing you are afraid of is confronting people head-on, Henry. Keswick did not believe that the mastermind behind the six major banks would be richer than Jardine.
