Reborn Capital Tycoon - Chapter 260
Chapter 260 Henry. Keswick
On the other side, after Chen Yi came to the company early in the morning.
Sit quietly in the office, waiting for the people from Yihe to come to the door.
According to the news released by the six major banks, Chen Yi believed that Jardine would not be indifferent and would definitely send someone to contact him.
Regarding Chen Yi’s deceptive methods, the senior management of the six major banks had the same attitude and stood on the sidelines, that is, they would not conspire with Big Boss Chen to deceive Jardines, nor would they tell Jardines the truth.
The reason why the six major banks did not collude with Boss Chen is very simple, because once they do that, it is tantamount to fraud.
The six major banks will naturally not do anything that violates the law.
Similarly, Boss Chen, whose career is thriving now, would not be stupid enough to make such a low-level mistake.
In any case, Jardine, as the head of the four major foreign firms, has a good relationship no matter in the business world or the Governor’s Mansion, which is far from what Chen Yi can compare with now.
Once he breaks the law on this matter, the whole situation may be reversed. When the time comes, Jardine will hold on to this matter, and he will inevitably face a lawsuit.
And rumors are just like scandals in the entertainment industry.
Believe it or not, it all depends on how you treat it.
There is no difference between deception and fraud in words, but there is a big difference in form. We often say that someone has been deceived. This kind of deception does not constitute legal responsibility in most cases. Once fraud is involved, the It is easy to constitute a criminal offense.
Chen Yi asked people to release rumors in the six major banks. This kind of behavior was at most a means to confuse Jardine. Without words in black and white, and without the cooperation of the six major banks, it would not constitute legal responsibility.
If Jardine believes the rumors, then you can only blame yourself, no one else, and even feel embarrassed to publicize it, because once outsiders find out, everyone will only laugh at Jardine and admire Boss Chen.
“Boom…”
“Come in”
Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Yi regained his spirits.
“Boss, Mr. Henry is here.”
Yu Min opened the door and walked in. Behind him was a middle-aged man with a white face. Chen Yi recognized who it was at a glance.
”Hello, Mr. Chen, I’m taking the liberty to visit, and I hope I don’t disturb your work.” The person who walked into the office after Yu Min was none other than Jardine’s chairman, Henry. Keswick.
Although it was not the first time to meet Chen Yi, Henry. Keswick’s feelings inevitably deepened.
Henry. Keswick was born in the Keswick family, and he became the leader of the Jardine Group at the age of thirty, which is already very powerful.
However, when he met Chen Yi, a freak, he had to admit that he and a self-made man like Chen Yi were inevitably inferior.
“Mr. Henry, please sit down” Chen Yi spared the desk and warmly invited Henry. Keswick sat down on the sofa.
Henry. Chen Yi was a little surprised by Keswick’s arrival, because in his guess, the person who came to contact him should be Niu Bijian, Jardine’s second-in-command.
Jardine’s second in command, Chen Yi can be said to be very familiar with it. After Niu Bijian served as the first in command of Jardine in the previous life, his operations were really fierce, and many people’s eyes were blinded.
The former Jardine gradually withdrew from the Xiangjiang stage in the 1980s and 1990s, and it started with the current second in command of Jardine.
Of course, one thing is undeniable, that is, the decline of Yihe in the previous life has a lot to do with the inland areas. As I have already introduced, the dark history and background of Yihe are not very clean.
In the early days, Jardine’s inland industries were all confiscated by the inland side. With the lessons learned from the past, after the return of Xiangjiang was a foregone conclusion, Jardine naturally did not dare to stay any longer, and only then did it withdraw Xiangjiang’s series of actions.
With the withdrawal of most of the assets from Xiangjiang, Jardine naturally lost the opportunity to take off with Xiangjiang.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
For Henry. Keswick, Chen Yi doesn’t know much about it.
If you can’t figure out the context, you need to be more cautious.
Chen Yi asked, “What would Mr. Henry want to drink?”
Henry Keswick looked at Secretary Yu at the side, and said, “Give me a cup of coffee without sugar, thank you!”
Yu Min: “Okay, Mr. Henry, please wait a moment.”
After Yu Min left, Henry. Keswick took a little look at the office, Henry. Keswick didn’t know whether the evaluation was too low-key or too high-key.
Let’s keep it low-key. He searched the whole of Xiangjiang, and he can guarantee that he can’t find a second person whose office occupies a larger area than Chen Yi.
Let’s talk high-profile, the layout of Chen Yi’s office is far from luxurious, let alone expensive.
After looking around for a while, Henry. Keswick withdrew his gaze, looked at Boss Chen, and said straight to the point: “Sheng Chen, you must go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and you must have guessed the purpose of our coming here.”
Chen Yi didn’t pretend to be stupid, nodded and said: “Mr. Henry probably came here for the shares of Landmark Company and Jardine Matheson in my hands.”
Henry. Keswick didn’t deny it, and said directly: “Through HSBC, we know that Chen Sheng bought a large amount of our company’s stock from the market last year. If possible, I would like to pay a high price for the real estate that Chen Sheng holds in your hand.” Company and Jardine Matheson.”
Chen Yi: “A high-priced acquisition, Mr. Henry, are you sure?”
“Is there any problem?” Henry. Keswick wondered.
Chen Yi shook his head and said: “There is no problem, it’s just that the shares of Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson in my hands add up to more than 30%. Are you sure Mr. Henry can take it?”
Now the stock prices of Hongkong Land and Jardine have been doubled after yesterday’s panic buying. If Jardine wants to win the shares in his hands, it will cost at least two or three billion.
What’s more, this time Chen Yi made up his mind to pluck the wool, and he would not easily cheapen Henry. Keswick.
”Thirty percent” Henry. Keswick was taken aback when he heard the words, and he couldn’t believe that Chen Yi had secretly bought so many shares of Jardine.
However, soon Henry. Keswick was relieved.
It is not surprising that the companies that were exposed as Chen Yi’s bottom-buying held such a large number of stocks.
In the stock market crash last year, the stock prices of all listed companies in Xiangjiang fell in a mess. The Hang Seng Index fell by 70% to 80%, and the stock prices of all listed companies fell even more.
Take Hongkong Land as an example. At its peak, its market capitalization exceeded tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.
The decline in the market value of Hongkong Land is similar to the decline of the Hang Seng Index. In this general environment, no one is willing to continue to hold the stock in their hands and wait for the depreciation.
Just let Henry. Keswick couldn’t accept that so many stocks fell into Chen Yi’s hands, and Jardine didn’t notice it at all.
Henry. Keswick couldn’t help but began to reflect on whether it was because he was too careless that people would peep at Yihe.
