Chapter 342 Is Mr. Su interested?
"Why don't Mr. Su come to our office in the Jardine Headquarters Building to chat." Nie Bijian said.
After hearing this, Su Cheng shook his head and said: "Mr. Nian Bijian should also know that my current situation is very special. I don't like to show my face. If I go to Yihe, I will definitely encounter Many people, this is not in line with my style.”
“How about this? Let’s talk directly in the Governor’s Mansion. I will apply to Mr. Governor to find an empty office in the Governor’s Mansion to chat. , I believe it’s not difficult to tell Mr. Governor about this matter,” Nui Bijian thought for a while and said.
The current situation of Jardine Matheson is not good. Since the failure in the Wharf Battle, the overall operation of Jardine Matheson has been affected. It even had to sell several properties at a loss to obtain a lot of funds before persisting. Now.
It is true that Yihe fought too hard with the charter king at the beginning, and it can be said that they basically ignored the cost.
So, Jardine lost too much money in this business war.
Bankruptcy will not happen, but it will affect the established investment plans of many groups.
This seriously disrupted the development of Jardine Matheson.
Although Jardine Matheson has a great career, there are many places where money is needed.
Moreover, the loan they borrowed from the bank has already exceeded the standard, and it is impossible to borrow more.
Therefore, selling the shares of Wharf is the only solution for Jardine Matheson to break the situation.
"Okay." Su Cheng nodded and agreed with Tui Bijian's idea.
It would be best if we could discuss it in the Governor's Mansion.
Now, Su Cheng has no idea where to go.
If you leave the Governor's Palace, you will go directly home.
After seeing Su Cheng’s agreement, Nuibi Jian immediately walked into the governor’s office again and talked about the matter with Mailihao, who was still in the office.
After a while, Tui Bijian came out again.
"I made an agreement with Mr. Governor, and a staff member will take us to a free office later." Nui Bijian said to Su Cheng.
This is a small matter in itself, and Mailihao will naturally not refuse.
After a while, a female staff member came over, took Su Cheng and Nian Bijian to an office not far from Mailihao's office, took out the key and opened the door.
"Two gentlemen, would you like something to drink?" the female staff member asked.
"No, thank you." Su Cheng replied with a smile.
Since he knew what Nui Bijian was talking about with him, it would definitely not last long, so there was no need for him to bother him.
"I don't need it either." Tui Bijian saw that Su Cheng didn't drink, so he was naturally embarrassed to drink. "Okay, I'll go out first. If you need anything, please call the front desk. I will serve you wholeheartedly." After the female staff member finished speaking, she went out and closed the door for them.
Su Cheng sat opposite Niu Bijian, watched the female staff walk out of the office, and said with a smile: "Mr. Niu Bijian, if you want to talk to me about anything, can you tell me?"
Although he knew that Nui Bijian had something to do with him, Su Cheng would definitely not take the initiative to tell him.
Otherwise, it would make Twibijian feel that he really wanted Wharf shares, and it would not be easy to lower the price like this.
"Mr. Su, let me tell you straight. We, Jardine Matheson Group, currently control nearly 30% of Wharf stocks. I don't know if Mr. Su is interested. If so, we can offer you a preferential price." Sell it to Mr. Su at the price." Nuan Bijian stated his purpose directly without mincing words.
Su Cheng was not surprised after hearing this. This was something that was expected.
"Wharf? Why don't you sell your stocks to Mr. Bao? As Wharf's current major shareholder and actual controller of Wharf, he should be willing to take over your stocks, right?" Su Cheng pretended. He said with a surprised look.
Tuibi Jian smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Su doesn't know something. Mr. Bao, like us, spent a lot of money to get so many shares of Wharf. As far as I know They didn't have much liquidity at the beginning, so they borrowed more than one billion from Huifeng Bank. Now if Mr. Bao buys it, there's nothing he can do. "
Of course Su Cheng knows these things, but now. What he needs to do is to act like he doesn't know what to do.
"I see, then why would Mr. Twisted Bijian think of asking me to buy Wharf shares? Even if I acquire all the shares in your hands, you will only be a second shareholder, and you can't It doesn't mean much to me to control Wharf and I buy your equity, does it?" Su Cheng said seriously.
What Su Cheng has to do is to make sure he doesn't seem to be interested in Wharf, so that he can take the initiative when negotiating prices and win the deal smoothly.
“Looking at the current Xiangjiang consortium, there are only a few people who can take over the Wharf equity from Jardine Matheson. Mr. Su is one of them, especially now that Mr. Su has made a lot of money in crude oil. Money, so the funds must be sufficient, so I want to discuss with Mr. Su to see if Mr. Su is interested in taking over the Wharf equity in our hands.
In fact, Wharf is a very high-quality company. The group owns a large amount of high-quality land. If it is developed well, it will definitely be able to make a lot of profits. As the original controller of Wharf, we at Yihe originally thought that no one could take it away from us. What I didn’t expect was that so many people were already interested in Wharf.
In the beginning, Mr. Su, Mr. Li of Cheung Kong Holdings, and Mr. Bao had already taken the shares of Wharf. After investing so much, we are still full of confidence. To be honest, we did not lose this battle unjustly.
We actually want to continue to hold the shares of Wharf, but our current situation is Mr. Su. You should also understand that we urgently need funds to relieve our operational pressure, so selling our Wharf equity is our only option.
If Mr. Su takes these shares, although he can only be the second shareholder, he may have the opportunity to become the major shareholder of Wharf in the future! That's how enterprises are, not everything remains the same, just like it was before. Who would have thought that Wharf would be taken away by someone under the control of Yihe? "
Tuibi Jian said a lot, and finally even tempted Su Cheng to find time to fight for the controlling stake of Wharf.
For him, if Su Cheng finally had a fight with the charter king This is the best thing to do if there is a battle for the ship.
The ship chartering king has caused heavy losses to Jardine and Land. As the leader of Jardine He, he naturally hopes that the ship chartering king will also suffer such an outcome. When the time comes, What a wonderful thing it is for him to be a bystander and enjoy the melons on the sidelines!
"Sounds like a good idea. "Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Of course, mastering Wharf is equivalent to mastering the most important cargo handling and warehousing business in Hong Kong. Wharf is a very high-quality listed company, and owning its equity is definitely a very cost-effective thing!" Nian Bi Jian said directly.
