After more than a year of understanding, Su Cheng already knows that although Jardine Matheson and Huifeng Group are both British-funded companies, the people behind the two companies are very different.
Huifeng Group knows that Chinese-funded consortiums will definitely develop and may even replace British-funded consortiums in the future. Therefore, HSBC Group is now taking the route of wooing Chinese-funded consortiums and is not hostile to Chinese-funded consortiums. , such as the chartering king, Li Ka-shing, Su Cheng and other Chinese-owned bosses, all have good relations with Huifeng.
Looking at Jardine Matheson, on the other hand, they are in tit-for-tat confrontation with Chinese-funded enterprises. They feel that Chinese-funded enterprises are their biggest competitors. For the glory of the British-funded consortium, they do not want the Chinese-funded consortium to infiltrate the board of directors of Jardine Matheson. Therefore, Very hostile to the rising Chinese capital forces.
It’s just that they are a group after all, a group. Although they are united on the surface, everyone has their own situation and naturally has different thoughts in their hearts.
This is exactly the case for Mr. Collis Mitrovic. Although he is also part of the British consortium of Jardine Matheson Group, he is not optimistic about the future of Hong Kong and believes that there are too many uncertainties in Hong Kong in the future. .
In addition, there was no heir in the family who could support the overall situation, so he had the idea of selling Xiangjiang's property as soon as possible.
But 3.89% of the shares of Jardine Group is not a small amount after all. He wants to sell it through the market, and the other person is not in Xiangjiang. The difficulty is not small. He can accidentally sell the shares of Jardine Group. If he collapses, then the other shareholders of Jardine Group will hate him to death.
And those British consortiums have no intention of taking over the stocks in his hands.
So, he could only think of Su Cheng.
After all, everyone knows that Su City is rich and keen on acquisitions and investments.
By this time, Mr. Collis Mitrovitch had no thought of British-capital unity.
They are all too busy to take care of themselves. He is no longer optimistic about the future of Xiangjiang. How can we unite?
Being able to successfully evacuate Xiangjiang with little loss is the key to success.
Many British businessmen in Hong Kong have had this idea.
This is also the reason why many British businessmen have been leaving Hong Kong in recent years.
"Mr. Collis Mitrovic, let me tell you frankly, I have little interest in Jardine Matheson Group's stocks. I have no intention of buying Jardine Matheson Group's stocks, but if Collis Mitrovic Mr. Luovich, if you give me a good price, my interest will be greatly increased. I will be happy to help you cash out.
I guess you are not very optimistic about the future of Xiangjiang. To be honest, I also have this worry, but after all, I am. I am a Xiangjiang person. Even if the future development of Xiangjiang deteriorates, it still cannot change the fact that I am a Xiangjiang person. Most of my major industries are also in Xiangjiang. Therefore, even if the future prospects of Xiangjiang are unclear, I will still support the development of Xiangjiang. . ”
Su Cheng’s verbosity actually reveals a theme, that is, you want me to buy your shares, but the price must impress me first.
"Mr. Su, according to the current price on the Hong Kong stock market, the Jardine Matheson Group shares I own are around HK$800 million. I will give in. For HK$780 million, I will sell all my shares. Here you go, what do you think of Mr. Su?" Mr. Collis Mitrovic thought for a while and tried to make a bid.
"Mr. Kolis Mitrovic, I don't see how sincere you are. You should be calculating based on yesterday's closing price. But as far as I know, last week, Jardine Matheson's share price is only about 93% of yesterday's price.
In the past few days, Jardine Matheson Group's stock has been pulled up by some people, and the trading volume is not much. I suggest that since Mr. Kolis Mitrovic wants to sell at a high price, it is better to slowly ship the goods on the stock market and wait for the price to be high. If you have time, maybe in three to five years, you will be able to sell all your Jardine Matheson Group shares, and the price will be pretty good! "Su Cheng shook his head and smiled.
Su Cheng's meaning is very clear. He is very dissatisfied with the price offered by Mr. Collis Mitrovic. If this is the price, then he has no interest at all. After all, it is he, Mr. Kollis Mitrovic, who is begging Sioux City to buy his shares, rather than Sioux City asking for Mr. Kolis Mitrovic's shares. The nature is completely different.
So, after listening to what Sioux City said, Mr. Kollis Mitrovic was not in a hurry to continue talking, because he knew that it was time to bargain.
What price is appropriate?
If you give less, he won't be willing to do it; if you give more, the other party won't.
Let’s take a look at the other party’s intended price first.
Thinking of this, Mr. Kolis Mitrovic raised his head and looked at Su City, and then asked: "Then I wonder what price Mr. Su can offer? Although I very much hope to sell the shares of Jardine Matheson Group Sell it to Mr. Su, but I won’t sell it randomly. If the price is not right, then the business will unfortunately not be closed.”
Mr. Corliss Mitrovic doesn’t know Su either. Cheng really didn't care much about Jardine Group's stocks, so he also wanted to try the threat.
Actually, he still hopes to settle the matter with Sioux City today. If the settlement is reached, then he will be able to enjoy his old age in peace. With such a sum of money, his family will be able to grow and develop in the UK. Get up.
Seeing Mr. Kolis Mitrovic kicking the ball to him, Sioux City said calmly: "Mr. Kolis Mitrovic, I won't let you lose too much. I bid 7 HK$100 million, this is the highest price I can pay.
To me, Jardine Matheson’s market value is not worth HK$20 billion. Its future prospects are far greater than the Hutchison Whampoa Group that I control. And the Su Group is much worse.
If Mr. Kolis Mitrovic can agree to this price, then we can close the deal today. If he cannot agree, I think our transaction will end here. .
Mr. Kolis Mitrovic can find other buyers, and I believe there will always be someone interested in Jardine Matheson shares. ”
However, Sioux City did not. He was threatened by him because he had seen through the thoughts of British businessmen.
Those British businessmen who wanted to evacuate Xiangjiang were basically not optimistic about the future of Xiangjiang. Therefore, the sooner they evacuated Xiangjiang, the better. However, it was difficult for them to find a suitable successor for a while, so they were often forced to do so. It cost a lot of money to close the deal.
Sioux City is betting that Mr. Collis Mitrovic plans to sell Jardine Matheson Group shares urgently.
It is a bastard to be cheap but not profitable.
Su Cheng has always emphasized that he has little interest in Jardine Matheson Group, just to make money.
If you can eat this bargain, you can save 100 million Hong Kong dollars. How delicious!
Mr. Kollis Mitrovitch listened and fell silent.
He began to struggle in his heart, whether to sell it at such a price and take advantage of this opportunity to completely escape the land of right and wrong in Xiangjiang. (End of this chapter)
