"Boss, I'm Zhang Qizheng. Yes, Tianyuan Investment Company has something to tell you. If you have time, come over...Okay, okay, I'll be waiting for you in the office, so I'll hang up first."
After hanging up the call with Su Cheng, Zhang Qizheng quickly adjusted his state and refocused on the stock transaction in front of him.
Tian Yuan Investment Company, as a leader in the investment community in Hong Kong and even the world, has a new office space located at the Tseung Kwan O headquarters base. Although it is not ostentatious, it has its own unique charm.
This six-story building not only incorporates artistic elements into its design, but also shows its extraordinary taste. The carefully arranged garden landscape around it adds a bit of tranquility and tranquility to this busy business district. Tasteful.
Although he didn't know the specific reason why Zhang Qizheng was looking for him, Su Cheng set out from home without hesitation and drove to the Tseung Kwan O headquarters base.
The villa area is not far from the new headquarters of Tianyuan Investment Company. In just ten minutes' drive, Su Cheng stopped firmly downstairs of the company.
After getting off the bus, he walked straight into the building and chose to take the elevator directly to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor, as the core area of Tianyuan Investment Company’s daily offices, gathers the main business teams and key departments of Tianyuan Investment Company.
Su City is very familiar with this place, and every step seems so natural and smooth.
As the elevator door slowly opened, he walked out of the elevator directly, preparing to meet Zhang Qizheng to find out what was going on.
"Boss, you're here! Please sit over here. I have good news that I can't wait to share with you. Our Land shares are about to exceed the 40% mark. This is a major milestone!
What’s even more exciting is that we also learned that the mutual shareholding between Land and Jardine has reached an unprecedented height. Land holds 25.8% of Jardine’s shares, while Jardine holds 23.9% of the shares of Land. .
This intricate equity relationship provides an excellent opportunity for our strategic layout.
Previously, due to our active acquisition, Jardine and Land had outstanding shares in the market. Gradually, the transaction volume was sluggish.
But since last month, the transaction volume of Land's secondary market shares has suddenly surged. This is undoubtedly a God-given opportunity, allowing us to take the opportunity to absorb more shares.
< br>
At present, we have successfully controlled 38.9% of Land's shares and 26.3% of Jardine's shares, becoming the actual major shareholder of these two companies.
Especially for Land Corporation, as long as we work harder and absorb more shares, we can completely surpass the control of the British-funded consortium and officially declare our controlling stake in Land.
Once we hold a controlling stake in Land, we will be able to directly seize the controlling stake in Jardine Matheson by taking advantage of its shareholding in Jardine Matheson and combining it with the existing shares of Jardine Matheson in our hands.
Boss, this means that you will have the opportunity to directly control these two major British banks with a long history and open up a new business landscape! "Zhang Qizheng said as he handed the information in his hand to Su Cheng, and he looked very excited.
Jardine Matheson and Land Group, these two are undoubtedly the two giants in the commercial field in Hong Kong!
Land Group, as the leader of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, its influence is self-evident.
Especially in the heart of Hong Kong such as Central, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay, it holds many iconic commercial buildings and controls the city's economic lifeline.
Its scale and strength make people lament its dominance in the real estate industry.
Jardine Matheson has a long history. It started from the opium trade and gradually developed into today's business covering trade, shipping, warehouses and terminals, transportation, finance and insurance, real estate, industry and public utilities. comprehensive large-scale enterprise group.
With its wide business scope and strong strength, it is praised by the industry as the "King of Foreign Banks" and even the "Prince among Foreign Banks", which shows its respected status.
Compared with Jardine Matheson, Su Cheng actually prefers Land Real Estate Group in his heart. For him, Jardine is more like an icing on the cake. If the acquisition can be successful, it will be even more joyous.
In the eyes of Sioux City, the reason why the former Jardines were eye-catching was mainly due to its three core values: control of Wharf, share of real estate, and international trade channels around the world.
Unfortunately, Jardine Matheson has lost control of Wharf, which is a big loss on its asset map.
As for land, with the deepening of Sioux City’s layout, Jardine’s advantage in this area will soon disappear.
As for Jardine’s international trade channels, Su Cheng confidently feels that the trade network he currently has is not only not inferior to Jardine, but is even more powerful and efficient in some aspects.
Therefore, although Sioux City does not underestimate Jardine's international trade channels, it does not value it too much either.
It is true that although today's Jardine Matheson seems to have lost its glory, it still contains acquisition value that cannot be ignored.
As the saying goes “A skinny camel is bigger than a horse”, the business foundation and strength accumulated by Yihe over the years cannot be underestimated.
First of all, Jardine’s sales channels will undoubtedly add new vitality to Sioux City’s business landscape, making its market reach broader and deeper.
Such channel resources are extremely valuable assets for any company.
Secondly, many properties owned by Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong and overseas, whether commercial real estate or residential projects, have extremely high market value.
These properties not only bring stable rental income to Jardine, but are also an important guarantee for maintaining and increasing the value of its assets.
Furthermore, Jardine Matheson has been the leader of British-owned foreign companies in Xiangjiang for many years, and its brand influence and market position are intangible assets that are inestimable.
This kind of foundation and strength will provide strong support for Sioux City in future business competition.
Therefore, from multiple dimensions, the acquisition of Jardine Matheson is undoubtedly a good deal.
If Sioux City can successfully bring him under its wing, it will surely inject new impetus into its own development and achieve more brilliant achievements.
Under the influence of Sioux City, the Hong Kong capital market of this world maintained its original rules. The trigger point for corporate privatization was still set at 50%, and was not adjusted to 35% as in later generations.
This status quo provides Su Cheng with more flexible operating space. Even though he has quietly controlled 38.9% of the shares of Land Real Estate Group, he does not need to disclose it to the outside world, maintaining strategic secrecy.
Since the Wharf was taken away by force, Jardine Matheson Group Chairman Twisted Pik-kin has adopted a far-sighted strategy to build a solid line of defense by deepening the mutual shareholding relationship between Jardine Matheson Group and Land Properties. , to resist potential threats from Chinese-funded consortiums.
In his plan, Jardine Matheson's shareholding in Land will rise to 30%, while Land Holdings will hold up to 40% of Jardine Matheson's shares, forming a stable pattern of mutual checks and balances.
However, the trend of history has changed subtly due to the intervention of Sioux City. With its unique vision and decisive actions, Su Cheng secretly acquired a large number of shares in Jardine and Land through its subsidiary Tianyuan Investment Company.
This move not only broke Twisted Bikin’s original layout, but also directly limited the scale of mutual shareholding between Jardine Matheson and Land.
Today, the shareholding structures of these two giants are no longer comparable to those of the past, and most of the outstanding shares have quietly fallen into the hands of Suzhou City.
"It seems it's time to close the net." Su Cheng flipped through the information in his hand, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
He looked up at Zhang Qizheng, his eyes flashing with determination and expectation.
“Boss, I completely agree with you. Now is the time when investors are panic selling. Even if the price is slightly higher, it is a rare opportunity.
We must seize this window period and quickly Take action to avoid missing the opportunity. This is why I contacted you urgently." Zhang Qizheng strongly agreed with Su Cheng's decision.
“Very good, since we have the same opinion, then we will launch a final general attack on the Land Group and carry out a large-scale share acquisition.
At the same time, Jardine’s shares cannot be relaxed, although We already occupy a favorable position, but holding more shares in Jardine will undoubtedly further consolidate our advantageous position." Su Cheng smiled, with infinite longing for the future in his eyes.
"Understood, boss! I'll make arrangements right away to ensure the task is completed!" Zhang Qizheng was full of energy after hearing this. He knew the importance of this operation and was full of confidence in the abilities of himself and his team.
After saying that, he turned and left, preparing to plunge into the tense and fierce acquisition battle.
"Tianyuan Investment Company, after years of silent hard work, finally has its moment to shine." Su Cheng thought to himself, with a confident smile on his face.
This company, as the operating tool of his business empire, never lacks financial support, because behind it stands himself - Su Cheng, a giant who makes all the difference in the business world.
"If the consortium behind Yihe wants to compete with us for financial resources, it is like trying to shake a tree by trying to shake a tree." Su Cheng's words revealed undoubted domineering.
He understands that in this war without gunpowder, financial resources are one of the key factors that determine victory or defeat.
Following Zhang Qizheng's order, the elite team of Tianyuan Investment Company, like a well-trained army, launched operations quickly and orderly.
They are vividly called "referees" because in this stock market competition, they are responsible for deciding the success or failure of every transaction.
Under Zhang Qizheng's careful planning and command, these "referees" began to purchase shares of Land and even Jardine Matheson on a large scale.
They are like hungry cheetahs, keeping an eye on every move in the market. Once the stocks of these two companies appear, they will not hesitate to take them into their pockets.
The acquisition was swift and violent, wiping out almost all Land and Jardine shares circulating in the market.
The strength of Tianyuan Investment Company was fully demonstrated at this moment. However, from the outside world, the occurrence of all these things is still in a fog, and it is completely unclear what happened.
Soon after, due to the extremely rapid and large-scale acquisitions of Tianyuan Investment Company, everyone in the market noticed the abnormal fluctuations in the stocks of Land Group and Jardine Matheson.
Those investors who had hurriedly placed orders waiting to be sold could only sigh in despair at this time, because their orders were all collected by Tianyuan Investment Company at almost the same time, and it was too late to cancel the orders.
Those investors who have not yet sold their stocks are confused by the sudden wave of acquisitions, but their keen intuition tells them that this is an opportunity that cannot be missed.
So, after witnessing the rapid clearing of stocks in the market, they followed suit and sold their stocks, hoping to get a share of the sudden storm.
For a time, the stock trading markets of Land Group and Jardine Matheson were bustling with activity, with sellers competing to sell and buyers taking over without hesitation.
As the leader of this transaction, Tianyuan Investment Company’s strong financial strength and acquisition determination have been fully revealed.
They completely abandoned their excessive focus on price. As long as the stocks are still circulating in the market, they will take them into their pockets without hesitation and put the consideration of raising prices in a secondary position.
As the trading continued, the market's enthusiasm was completely ignited, and more investors were attracted to join this stock market feast.
Tianyuan Investment Company, in this war without gunpowder, has made steady progress towards its goal with its unstoppable momentum.
A strange scene quietly emerged on the stock market, like a picture of imbalance.
In this turbulent financial sea, the stock prices of most real estate companies are like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, entering the downward channel one after another. Investors' confidence seems to be gradually dissipating with the decline of stock prices. .
However, in this general downward trend, the stocks of Land Group and Jardine Matheson are like fish swimming upstream. Not only are they not swallowed by the cold current of the market, but they go against the current, and their stock prices continue to rise. As the price rises, the trading volume also rises, forming an eye-catching landscape.
This phenomenon quickly aroused widespread attention and heated discussion in the market. Investors have speculated on the reasons behind it, but most people are still unable to see the whole picture.
The asymmetry of information has filled the market with speculation and doubts. The senior executives of Land Group and Jardine Matheson immediately received this strange signal from the stock market, and couldn't help but feel ripples in their hearts.
They know very well that such changes in stock prices are no accident, and there must be strong financial forces behind them.
Whether this force is an enemy or a friend, and what its purpose and plan is, have become mysteries that need to be solved urgently in their hearts.
Faced with the sudden changes in the stock market, Ni Bijian responded quickly and immediately summoned the company's senior management and core advisory team to hold an emergency meeting.
In the conference room, the atmosphere was solemn and tense. Everyone looked grim and tried to analyze the reasons behind this from various angles.
However, as Niu Bijian felt, when the identity and intentions of the opponent were completely unknown, no amount of discussion and analysis seemed to be able to get to the core of the problem, and the meeting reached a deadlock.
At the same time, Su Cheng seemed unusually calm.
In this stock acquisition battle, remaining silent and mysterious are the best tactics.
He is not in a hurry to reveal his purpose to the outside world, but quietly observes the market's reaction and waits for the best time to come. (End of this chapter)
