Chapter 250 Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches
Chen Yi didn't intend to hide this matter. As for why he didn't hide it, the reason is simple. The main reason is that now Sha Ya has his eyes on him, and with the strength of HSBC Bank, even if he wanted to, he couldn't hide it.
Furthermore, Chen Yi calculated that even if Sha Ya did not support him, he would not turn around and sell him, so he went to tell Jardine Matheson.
One side is your competitor, and the other side is the major shareholder of HSBC Bank. How to choose? Do you need to ask?
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. HSBC Bank and Jardine Matheson are both British-owned consortia, which has created two consortiums. It is inevitable that they will need to compete at certain times.
Because this is related to the issue of the right to speak of both parties.
The weight of the first and the second is completely different. Whoever can suppress the other party, and whoever is in the British circle, has a higher voice than the other party.
Sure enough, just as Chen Yi thought, after hearing his purpose, Sha Ya had no other reaction except a little surprise.
For a long time, HSBC has had conflicts of interest with British-funded consortia such as Jardine Matheson, Standard Chartered Bank, etc., but due to various considerations, everyone's competition only exists in private, and rarely put it on the bright side.
Sha Ya was amazed at Chen Yi's boldness. Even HSBC was unwilling to confront Jardine Matheson. She never thought that Chen Yi would have such courage, and most importantly, dare to think and act.
No matter how much talk is said, it is better to act.
Obviously, Chen Yi belongs to the kind of person who dares to speak and act.
Five billion, such a large amount, even HSBC Bank can't just take it out.
Now that the environment in Xiangjiang is so bad, with so much money, why not do something else, but take risks and offend Jardine Matheson, Sha Ya can't figure out what is going on in Boss Chen's mind.
Chen Yi is not the kind of brainless person, but what the other party is going to do now is not like what a normal person would do.
"Chen Sheng wants to enter the real estate industry, so there is no need to fight against Jardine Matheson. You must know that neither Wharf nor Jinmen Construction is an ordinary company. Once Chen Sheng takes action against the two companies, then Jardine Matheson will definitely not Will let it go."
After thinking about it, Sha Ya decided to persuade him. After all, Chen Yi was also someone he valued. He didn't want the other party to fall into the hands of Jardine Matheson. As a competitor, no one knew more about the strength of Jardine Matheson than Sha Ya.
It is no exaggeration to say that apart from the financial field, HSBC is much inferior to Jardine Matheson in other aspects, and even in terms of reputation, HSBC is not as good as Jardine Matheson at this time.
Even if he, the chairman of HSBC, is the same as the chairman of Jardine Group, Henry. Keswick is also slightly inferior in comparison.
As we all know, the family behind the Jardine Group is Henry. The Keswick family, where Keswick belongs, has been in control of the Jardine Group for five generations since Keswick took over the Jardine Group.
That is to say, Henry. Keswick is the veritable boss of the Jardine Group, while Sha Ya is just a professional manager, a wage earner with a limited term of office.
Chen Yi didn't answer Sha Ya's words directly, but found another way: "Don't Mr. Sha Ya think that this is a very rare opportunity? Since the stock market crash and the oil crisis last year, most companies in Xiangjiang have experienced financial crisis."
"Although Jardine Matheson's business is huge and it seems that it has not been greatly affected, in fact, except for a few core companies, most of its subsidiaries are very financially stressed."
"In terms of working capital, the funds I have are not less than Jardine Matheson, and may even be more than Jardine Matheson."
"And Jardine Matheson does not even hold 30% of the shares of its Wharf and Golden Gate Construction. Even the most important Hongkong Land Company, Jardine Matheson holds quite limited shares."
"As long as I act quickly enough, it is very possible to complete the acquisition plan of Wharf and Golden Gate Construction before Jardine reacts."
"If there is an opportunity, a company like Hongkong Land may try it. If it succeeds, even if Jardine Matheson will not be seriously injured, at least it will hurt its muscles and bones."
Speaking of this, Chen Yi continued with a smile on his lips, "As far as I know, Jardine Matheson has always been famous for its strength in Xiangjiang. Enemy of Jardine Matheson."
"Just imagine, once Jardine Matheson was hit hard, would someone stand up and fall into the stone? I thought that at that time, Jardine Matheson would not think about how to retaliate against me, but how to survive under the watchful eyes of wolves. Paul is right."
That's right, Chen Yi's biggest reliance is not other people, let alone a few big banks, but those companies that are at odds with Jardine.
As long as he tears off the tiger skin on Jardine Matheson, no matter whether Jardine Matheson is a real tiger or a paper tiger, it will be watched by many people at that time. The control of the subsidiary, rather than thinking about revenge on Big Boss Chen.
In the previous life, Yihe Li Chaoren and the charter king made Jardine Matheson, the leader of the four major foreign firms, a source of panic.
From this we can see how many enemies there should be behind Jardine Matheson.
"Hiss..." Hearing this, Sha Ya couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air.
He didn't expect that Chen Yi would consider the matter so comprehensively, and he also expected that Jardine Matheson would not be able to retaliate later.
Moreover, what made Sha Ya feel incredible the most was that Chen Yi said that he was a little ready to move.
If there is a chance to smear Jardine Matheson, Sha Ya, as the chairman of HSBC, will definitely not miss this opportunity.
As for Jardine's revenge, as Chen Yi said, once Chen Yi really takes down Wharf and Golden Gate Construction, everyone will probably think that Jardine is just a paper tiger, but it looks more scary.
Although the stock market crash and the oil crisis last year caused many companies to lose money, there are exceptions. Some companies that have not suffered too much loss are now seeking further development.
Jardines, as the head of the four major foreign firms, owns a large number of high-quality assets. Once everyone regards it as a paper tiger, someone will inevitably rush to bite it.
After a while, Sha Ya couldn't help asking: "Chen Sheng, can you tell me, how sure are you of winning Landmark?"
Compared with Wharf and Gammon Construction, Hongkong Land Company is the real core industry of Jardine Matheson Group. Once Landmark is robbed, Rao Jardine Matheson will be seriously injured by it, and it may even collapse.
Fighting a snake and hitting seven inches, Sha Ya's ability to become the chairman of HSBC Bank is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, let alone a soft-hearted person.
