Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Damn nouveau riche!"

"Damn little dwarf!"

"Damn Yankees!"

"Everyone is full of bad water!"

In the luxurious living room of the Keswick family, Old John, Niu Bijian, and the two brothers Henry and Charles sat around the table. The youngest Charles Keswick couldn't help cursing, obviously very angry.

Seeing his younger son lose his temper, Old John rarely did not educate him, because at this time he also looked ugly and was very upset.

Just because they basically returned without success, at most, Old John made connections and acquired 1.1% of the stock from the only small shareholder, but the price was a 100% premium. There is no way, the situation is urgent, Old John still gritted his teeth. Agreed, raising the proportion of equity held by itself to 38.2%.

But despite the acquisition of 1.1% of the stock, the high price also hurts him, and it is foreseeable that the later impact will be even greater.

After all, the premium is 100% from the beginning. If you want to buy stocks from other people later, the price will only be higher than lower, especially for major shareholders with more stocks in their hands, the price will be higher.

No, everyone else has failed!

They all talked about their actions and situation just now, but the results were not optimistic.

Since the Galaxy Fund announced that it will hold 30% of the Jardine Machine Group, although it is not known whether it is true or not, it is estimated that it is not much different.

In this way, Galaxy Fund has become the second largest shareholder of Jardine Holdings alone, with a 78% equity difference from their Keswick family.

With so much equity, it is absolutely impossible to acquire through fractional shares, and there are definitely some accomplices among the top ten shareholders.

So Old John checked the first time and called them one by one to inquire. Finally, the statistics found that among the nine major shareholders other than himself, three shareholders belonged to the accomplices who sold the shares to Xia Yu, and the remaining six shareholders did not sell. stock.

It's just that each of these six shareholders made Old John difficult and made everyone come back with a sigh of relief.

The second largest shareholder, American Cummins, a multinational company that manufactures power equipment, holds 6.37% of the shares.

third largest shareholder,

Singapore's Temasek Holdings, a Singapore state-owned enterprise in the guise of a private company, holds 5.24% of the shares.

The fourth largest shareholder, Nomura Securities, which is now the top ten in the securities industry of the island country and the number one in the island country in the future, holds a shareholding ratio of 4.99%.

The seventh largest shareholder, Dahe Securities, holds 2.76% of the shares.

The ninth largest shareholder, Heungkong Bank of China Investment, holds 2.54% of the shares.

The tenth largest shareholder, Goldman Sachs, holds 2.49% of the shares.

None of these six major shareholders are simple things. The American Cummins Corporation, the island country Nomura Securities and the island country Yamato Securities all have giant consortia behind them.

Goldman Sachs itself is a multinational giant and one of the five largest investment banks on Wall Street.

Temasek Holdings and Hong Kong Bank of China, not to mention, the former is a Singapore state-owned enterprise in the guise of a private company and is supervised by the Singapore Ministry of Finance, while the latter is the face of the mainland in Hong Kong.

These six major shareholders, in addition to the American Cummins Company, need to use the influence and strength of the Jardine Machine Group in Southeast Asia and Australia to deepen the connection due to business needs.

The other five shareholders hold the Jardine Machine Group for almost all investment purposes. These five shareholders are all the same in nature, and they are all investment banking companies.

It stands to reason that for a listed company, the stronger the shareholder strength, the greater the benefit to the company, because the market will have more confidence in the company.

The five shareholders of Jardine Machinery Group are still giants in the investment world, which can give strong support to the stock price of Jardine Machinery Group.

In peacetime, that must be fine, and old John should not have many such powerful companions.

But everything has pros and cons.

Don't forget that capitalists are also the most ruthless, and their interests come first.

What's more, these investment banks that clearly put profits above everything else?

No one has the nose for these investments, and they are not as greedy as these investment banks.

As soon as Galaxy Fund announced its 30% stake and made a takeover offer to Jardine Machine Group, these five companies immediately ordered a ban on the sale of the Jardine Machine Group's shares, and joined the rush for chips, trying to get their hands on them. A little more shares, no matter how bad it is, the stock price should be raised as much as possible.

Now as long as you are not a fool, you can see that the Galaxy Fund is a great threat to the Jardine Consortium, and it has a series of previous victories, so this time the battle will definitely be very fierce, and the stock price will also be rolling up. .

These companies have also raised their share price expectations for Jardine Machinery Group again and again, and want to take this opportunity to suck blood.

The Keswick family wanted to buy the stock, but was scared back by the lion's big opening.

Such a result can only be blamed on Old John's lack of preparation.

On Xia Yu's side, when Wang Qi bought the stock, he also picked up the soft persimmons and bought the stocks of the three lower-ranking shareholders. Of these five shareholders, none of them were bought, and they didn't even ask. Ask for fear of being discovered.

After all, each of these five companies is stronger than Jiuding Securities Company, and Jiuding Securities Company is difficult to win. If the contact is unsuccessful, the acquisition intention will be exposed, and trouble will follow.

"Father, it is difficult for us to acquire the stocks of these shareholders, so it will not be easy for Galaxy Fund and Jiuding Securities. We are still safe for the time being."

Henry Keswick, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, the chairman, Goldman Sachs Group, Nomura Securities and other lions speak loudly. We can't stand it, so that Chinese kid shouldn't be able to stand it either."

Niubi firmly said in agreement.

Old John nodded silently, agreeing with what the two of them said, but he was very uncomfortable. He had always killed others, but now he has become a big head in the eyes of others. The feeling is hard to describe.

It's all to blame for this Chinese boy who took the initiative to provoke him several times! Caused them great trouble!

Old John hated deeply.

"Continue to talk to them, ask for the price in the sky, and repay the money on the ground."

"They are all investment companies, and their shareholding is also for financial investment. As long as the price is up, there is nothing they will not sell. Now they are charging such a high price to sell for a higher price."

"But now it seems that the two dwarfs, Nomura Securities and Yamato Securities, are the most greedy. Together, they hold 7.75% of the shares. Their backing is very strong. We can only use normal business methods, which are the most difficult and last."

"The 2.54% stake in Xiangjiang Bank of China is also very difficult. I guess that the Chinese boy will be easier to get, and continue to send people to negotiate. If we can't get it, we will also raise the price to me and consume his funds. "

"The group of Jews at Goldman Sachs is no worse than the dwarfs, and it's too difficult to get them down. Keep talking."

"The remaining Temasek and Cummins, the two shareholders together hold 11.61% of the shares. As long as they get it, they will be close to the 50% line immediately. The crisis will be lifted directly, and these two shareholders will be the main attack."

Old John analyzed, and the brothers Niu Bijian and Henry nodded in unison.

"Niu Bijian, you are in charge of Cummins and try to buy the stock."

"Good chairman!"

Niubi Jian took the lead in awe.

Old John nodded slightly, his sharp gaze shifted to the left, paused for a second on Charles, and then placed Henry on Henry in the sight of Charles' lost gaze.

"Henry, you contact Singapore's Temasek in the name of your family, and in my name you apply for a call to the Lee Kwong Yak government."

"OK!"

Henry Keswick said solemnly.

Although Singapore now has a trace of the four Asian tigers, but after all, it has just been independent for a few years. It is still independent with the support of the United Kingdom and the United States. The Singapore government is still very dependent on the United Kingdom.

As the first British-funded consortium in the Far East, the Jardine Consortium and Old John, as the head of the Jardine Consortium, are no worse than the current Prime Minister of Singapore, Li Guangyao, and are absolutely qualified to apply for a call to Li Guangyao. Li Guangyao would definitely agree.

It's just that this will be a loss of face and will owe Li Guangyao's favor.

Just in order to win the 5.24% stake in Singapore's Temasek Investment Company as soon as possible, Old John can't care about so much. It is more important to protect the Jardine Machinery Group and stabilize the situation!
