Chapter 362： response

"Damn upstart!"

"Damn little dwarf!"

"Damn Yankee!"

"All the 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 could not help but yelled, obviously very angry.

Seeing the youngest son gaffe, Old John rarely did not educate him, because at this time he also looked ugly and very sad.

Just because they basically failed to return, at most, Old John used contacts and acquired 1.1% of the stock from the only minority shareholder, but the price was a premium of 100%. There was no way. The situation was urgent. Old John still gritted his teeth. Agreed, and the proportion of equity held by him was raised to 38.2%.

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

After all, the premium was 100% at the beginning. Later, if you want to buy shares in the hands of other people, the price will only be high or not, especially for large shareholders with more shares in their hands.

No, everyone else has returned without success!

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

Since the Galaxy Fund made a high-profile call to 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, the Galaxy Fund has become the second largest shareholder of Jardine Holdings alone, with an equity difference of 78% from their Keswick family.

With so many shares, it is absolutely impossible to buy through scattered stocks. Some of the top ten shareholders are definitely accomplices.

So Old John first checked and called one by one. Finally, statistics found that among the nine major shareholders other than himself, three shareholders were accomplices in selling shares to Xia Yu, and the remaining six shareholders did not sell. stock.

It's just that these six shareholders, each made Old John tricky, and made everyone touch their noses.

The second largest shareholder, Cummins, a power equipment manufacturing multinational company, holds 6.37%.

The third largest shareholder, Singapore Temasek Holdings, a Singapore state-owned enterprise under the guise of a private enterprise, holds 5.24% of the shares.

The fourth largest shareholder, Nomura Securities, which is now the top ten in the island country’s securities industry, and the number one in the island country, holds 4.99% of the shares.

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

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

The tenth largest shareholder, Goldman Sachs Group, holds 2.49%.

None of these six major shareholders are simple goods. Cummins, Nomura Securities, and Daiwa Securities all have giant consortia behind them.

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

Not to mention Temasek Holdings and HeungKong Bank of China. The former are Singapore state-owned enterprises under the cloak of private companies and are under the supervision of Singapore’s Ministry of Finance. The latter is the mainland’s presence in Hong Kong.

These six major shareholders, except for Cummins of the United States, because of business needs, they need to use the influence and strength of the Jardine Machinery Group in Southeast Asia and Australia to deepen the relationship.

The other five shareholders hold the Jardine Machines Group for almost all purposes of investment. These five shareholders are essentially the same, and they are all investment banking companies.

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

The five major shareholders of Jardine Machinery Group are still giants in the investment industry, and they can provide strong support for the Jardine Machinery Group's share price.

If it's a peaceful time, it's definitely good. Old John Bar doesn't have many such powerful partners.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages.

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

What's more, these bright investment banks based on the principle that profits are above all else?

No one has the nose of these investments, and is not as greedy as these investment banks.

When the Galaxy Fund announced that it held 30% of its shares and issued a takeover offer to the Jardine Machine Group, the five companies immediately ordered the prohibition of the sale of the shares of Jardine Machine Group, and joined the rush to raise funds, trying to get their hands. The shares of the company have increased a bit, and no matter how bad, the stock price should be as high as possible.

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

These companies have raised their expectations of the Jardine Machine Group's share price time and time again, and want to take this opportunity to **** up their blood.

When the Keswick family wanted to buy the stock, they were scared back by the big mouth of the lion.

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

For Xia Yu's side, when Wang Qi bought stocks, he also picked up some soft persimmons and bought the stocks of the three lower-ranked shareholders. Of these five shareholders, none of them bought or even asked. Ask for fear of being discovered.

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

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

Henry Keswick, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly said.

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

Niu Bijian agreed.

Old John nodded silently and agreed with the two of them. It was just that he had no feelings in his heart. He had always slaughtered others, but now he has become a fool in the eyes of others. The taste is really unspeakable.

Blame this Chinese kid who took the initiative to provoke several times! Caused them great trouble!

Old John hated him.

"Continue to talk to them, ask prices all the time, and pay them back."

"They are all investment companies, and holding shares is for financial investment. As long as the price arrives, there is nothing they won't sell. Now they offer such a high price to sell it at a higher price."

"But now, it seems that the two short-timers, Nomura Securities and Yamato Securities, are the most greedy. Together they hold 7.75% of the shares. Their backing is very hard. We can only use normal commercial methods, which are the most difficult, and put it at the end."

"The 2.54% equity of Xiangjiang Bank of China is also very difficult. I think that the Chinese kid will get it more easily, and continue to send people to talk. 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 little dwarfs, and it is too difficult to get it off. Continue talking."

“For the remaining Temasek and Cummins, the two shareholders together hold 11.61% of the shares. As long as they get their hands, they will immediately be close to the 50% line. The crisis will be lifted directly and the two shareholders will be attacked.”

Old John analyzed, Niu Bijian and Henry nodded together.

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

"Good chairman!"

Niu Bijian took his orders solemnly.

Old John nodded slightly, his sharp gaze moved to the left, paused for a second on Charles, and then placed on Henry in Charles's lost gazeHenry, you contact Temasek Singapore in the name of your family The company, and in my name, sent an application to the Li Guangyao government. "

"Ok!"

Henry Keswick said solemnly.

Although Singapore now has the atmosphere of the Four Asian Tigers, after all, it has not been independent for many years, and it is still independent with the support of the United Kingdom and the United States. The Singapore government still relies heavily on the United Kingdom.

The Jardine Consortium is the largest British consortium in the Far East, and Old John, as the head of the Jardine Consortium, is not much inferior to the current Singapore Prime Minister Li Guangyao in terms of status. He is absolutely qualified to send a call to Li Guangyao, and Li Guangyao will definitely agree.

It's just that it will look shameful and owe Li Guangyao's favor.

Just in order to get the 5.24% stake in Singapore Temasek Investment Company as soon as possible, Old John can't take care of so much. It is more important to keep the Jardine Machine Group and stabilize the situation!
