Chapter 332

Swire is an old British foreign firm, which was engaged in trade with China in the Qing Dynasty. Today, Swire Pacific is a multinational company rooted in Asia. Its business in Greater China mostly uses Swire's name. Swire Pacific Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Swire Pacific, is a comprehensive enterprise listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange.

Swire is the second most influential commercial institution in modern China after Jardine's. Its predecessor is John swayer, founded in 1816. Swire ocean shipping company is mainly engaged in the shipping industry. It organized China shipping company in 1867 with a rated capital of one million pounds. In 1872, Swire steamship company was established and became one of the three major shipping companies that kept pace with Jardine's steamship company and Qichang steamship company. The Shanghai Hong Kong route was opened, the Yangtze River route was added in 1875, and then China's coastal routes and overseas routes were successively expanded. In addition to the shipping industry, Swire is also involved in other fields. In 1881, it acquired a number of large-scale land in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong Island to build Swire sugar refinery, which was officially put into operation in 1883.

In the future, no matter how Chinese capital rises in Xiangjiang, the Shi huaiya family always controls Swire foreign firm in the four oceans of Xiangjiang. Many people say that they can't be rich for three generations, but the Shi huaiya family has been rich for six generations in the future.

Although the strength is weaker than Yihe, the control over the enterprise. The schweiya family has always been stronger than the kaiserk family in business control, which is also the reason why no one at Swire western has been able to make up his mind, because the controlling family has too stable control over the business.

However, with the passage of time and the diversification of enterprises, Swire itself is a listed enterprise. Even the schweiya family has only three more layers of control over the enterprise. This is decided by Xiangjiang listed company law, and it is also an opportunity for baozixuan. If we let the schweiya family hold 49%, there will really be no chance.

At this time, looking at the turbulent stock market, John Shi huaiya finally understood Shen Bi's reminder. Although HSBC's big class has a superior position in Xiangjiang, it is also a migrant worker after all. For these old British billionaires, they don't necessarily listen to you.

After retirement, Shen Bi can only receive a lack of pension, while York Shi huaiya has no theory of retirement at all. Even if you quit, your son will take over. We should still respect him.

This time, it's a bit difficult. It's impossible to fight against the black cloud with Swire's cash reserves. The most important thing is that the company is demoralized. They all want heiyun to take shares, and some even begin to plan their treatment after the arrival of baozixuan. This is a dangerous signal. At this time, it is not time to take into account face. If you want to get through the difficulties, you still need to find Shen Bi and HSBC behind him.

At present, not only is heiyun acquiring, but other small and medium-sized retail investors are absorbing a large number of shares of Swire foreign bank. At this time, Xiangjiang people understand that following Bao's richest man can definitely make money. Looking at the rise of Swire's share price, on the surface, the assets of Shi huaiya family are increasing, but once the share price is falsely high, it is definitely not a good thing for the stable development of the holding family and the company.

A small fluctuation is enough for the Shi huaiya family to suffer for a long time, but it has expanded too fast overseas in recent years, and there is not much capital for emergency.

In fact, not only Swire, but also other British enterprises in Xiangjiang are vigorously developing overseas business. At this time, although no agreement has been reached on the return of Xiangjiang, as the top family in Britain, especially in Xiangjiang for so long, everyone is not optimistic that Britain can continue to manage Xiangjiang in 1997. China can't let such a thing happen, so it will become a laughing stock in the world. Who else will pay attention to you.

Although not very willing, York Shi huaiya still dialed Shen Bi. He understands that HSBC must be involved in order to stabilize the stock price, and others cannot have this strength. And Chinese capital can't help him. Baozixuan is a banner of Xiangjiang Chinese.

Shen bi was very happy when he received a call from York Shi huaiya. Before, these old families who thought they were aristocrats respected him on the surface; But the inner monologue is estimated to be known only by the parties themselves. Now ask yourself, and you should make them feel bad.

When York shihuaiya came to the HSBC chief office, he felt uncomfortable watching Shen Bi sitting there. After all, he didn't go down to meet him, which made him feel ignored. But now the situation is weaker than others, and we still have to ask the other party. We can only bear it first.

After seeing York schweiya coming in, Shen Bi stood up and said, "welcome, Mr. schweiya. I didn't go down to meet you just now. I hope you won't be surprised. "

Although Shen Bi knows that the other party wants from him, he still needs to give face. After this incident, he will certainly offend baozixuan. If York shihuaiya hates himself, he will really lose his wife and his soldiers. The gain is not worth the loss.

York Shi huaiya: "Shen Bi's big class manages all kinds of opportunities every day. Don't care too much. We are all citizens of the British Empire. There is no need for red tape! I came here this time to ask Shen Bi for help. In view of the friendship between HSBC and Swire for so many years, please ask Shen to give me a face. "

In fact, Shen Bi doesn't really want to pay attention to York Shi huaiya. If there are two people in Xiangjiang who don't give Shen Bi face. One is Simon kesek; The other is definitely York schwyer. Jardine Matheson and Swire Matheson were not weaker than HSBC at their peak, and Shen bi was just a senior worker.

Shen Bi: "Swire has strong strength. What else can I do for HSBC?"

York Shi huaiya: "Shen Bi, don't laugh at me. I don't care about your previous reminder. I apologize to you here. I think Cathay Pacific is not a listed company. Baozixuan is rich and has no way to be big. But who would have thought that he would dare to act against the Pacific Ocean. "

"We were not satisfied with the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa before. We were really bullied by the Shi huaiya family. But then again, the rapid overseas expansion in recent years has strained the headquarters' funds. Therefore, this time I want to disassemble part of it from HSBC, and you have had contact with baozixuan to understand his character and temperament; I'd like to ask you how to deal with this crisis. "

After baozixuan acquired Hutchison Whampoa and baoyugang acquired jiulongcang, Xiangjiang's listed company law changed a little. The holding ratio has changed from 49% to 33.4% in order to protect old British enterprises. After all, the holding proportion of old British enterprises is not high due to their long history. If there is any trouble, there is also a guarantee, but who can think that baozixuan is completely smashed with money in order to tear a piece of meat off Taigu foreign firm.

Shen Bi: "Bao Zixuan is to be able to get Cathay Pacific Airlines, it is estimated that he has sent a similar acquisition intention to Swire before."

In fact, after the unsuccessful acquisition of HSBC's shares in China Thai Airways, baozixuan really applied to Swire Pacific. However, although Shen Bi reminded him at that time, he was still treated as a joke for York schwyard. After all, Cathay Pacific is one of Swire's most important assets and cannot be easily sold.

People directly rejected heiyun's acquisition intention, and the attitude was very tough, even a little bad. This strengthened baozixuan's determination to make Taigu foreign firm uncomfortable.

York schwyer: "I really don't care, but now the top priority is how to solve the problem of Swire. If Taigu changes hands, all the efforts of the family for so many years will be wasted. So I'd like to ask you for help to see how to deal with this crisis. We don't want the Chinese to control the economy of Xiangjiang. Our opinions on this point are still unified! "

Shen Bi“ Now there are two ways to solve this dilemma. One is to give up Cathay Pacific. Let baozixuan complete the acquisition. Only in this way can he eliminate his anger. "

York schweiya almost didn't get angry when he heard that. If you do, I'll ask you; I'm taking it for granted that I have to come over, please. So he said with a little anger, "Shen Bi's class would better say the second way!"
