  Chapter 755 The Hong Kong government is helpless · Swire surrenders (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

   "Shi Weixian, your Securities Regulatory Office can stop this acquisition on the grounds that Chinese Land acquired the shares of Jardine and Landmark in violation of regulations!"

  Earlier, Han Yili's answer made the atmosphere a little awkward, but soon, Xia Dingji thought of another way, that is, the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Office came forward to stop this transaction directly with administrative force.

  Although it has been called the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission before, in fact, the official name of this department at this time is the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Office.

   Shi Weixian, a Chinese-English mixed race, is the person in charge of the Securities Regulatory Office.

  Because of Xia Dingji's order, everyone's eyes in the room also fell on Shi Weixian.

  Shi Weixian greeted everyone's eyes, and said calmly: "Our Securities Regulatory Office can implement this order, but I hope Sir Xia Dingji can take care of our Securities Regulatory Office for the follow-up issues!"

  Xia Dingji looked at Shi Weixian, his nominal subordinate, with some dissatisfaction.

   "What kind of consequences can your Securities Regulatory Office suspend a transaction?"

Shi Weixian said calmly: "Sir, you may not know it. Stimulated by the acquisition of Jardine and Landmark by Chinese Land, before I came here, I just got the news that the Hang Seng Index rose by 78 points at the opening, and this number is still going up. Stimulated by this news, all the blue-chip stocks in Xiangjiang also started to soar, and the market trading volume also soared.

  If you stop the acquisition of Jardine by Chinese Real Estate at this time, the behavior of Hongkong Land will definitely trigger a series of chain reactions, and you will have to bear the consequences at that time.

  In addition, although the suspension this time is a violation, we can't find any violations, which means that this is a violation of the suspension.

Jiaku has the TV station with the highest ratings in Xiangjiang and the newspaper with the highest sales in a single issue, which means that the other party has great media power in Xiangjiang. If the other party makes a big fuss about this matter, then our prestige will will be impacted.

Secondly, if such an illegal suspension is publicized by Jiaku, then our previous efforts to build Xiangjiang into a free and open financial market will fall short, and it will also be valued by various funds. Our Securities Regulatory Office cannot afford such consequences. "

   Speaking of this, Shi Weixian still said calmly: "As long as Sir, you can guarantee that you can solve these problems, we can call back now and announce the suspension of this transaction!"

Xia Dingji's face was gloomy. He only wanted a result and didn't want to bear the consequences. Then he looked at the director of Xiangjiang Film and Television Department: "Temporarily suspend the operation of TVB, "True News" and all companies under Black and White Media. Without the media, we Let's see what Chu Huan can do!"

Justin, director of Xiangjiang Film and Television Division, took over as the previous director after Chu Huan made several decisions on TV. He watched how his predecessor made Chu Huan play, and now he is making the same mistakes again. , He said that he would not allow anything.

   What's more, the Xiangjiang Film and Television Department is under the management of the Chief Secretary, not the Financial Secretary.

  So after receiving Xia Dingji's order, Justin immediately replied: "Sir, we need a legal and compliant reason for this matter, Sir, please give us this reason, otherwise, we have no way to explain it to the public.

In addition, there is one thing I need to remind Sir, although the black and white media under Jiaku is the largest media company in Xiangjiang, but at the same time, the business of Jiaku is also the largest in Xiangjiang. I am doing an advertisement for Jiaku.

At the same time, the relationship between Yifu Shao and Chu Huan of Li’s TV, I don’t think I need to talk about it, Sir, you also know it, if Shao Yifu’s Li’s TV also speaks for Jiaku, then we have to temporarily turn off Li’s TV Woolen cloth? "

  Xia Dingji looked at the eloquent Justin and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

  Xia Dingji is very familiar with this sense of powerlessness. Whenever he encounters something related to Chu Huan, he always feels this powerlessness.

   Once upon a time, the influence of their Hong Kong government in Hong Kong was only affected by HSBC, Jardine, and Jockey Club.

  But now, the situation in Xiangjiang has undergone earth-shaking changes. In the past, some people always said that it was the Governor of Hong Kong, HSBC, Jardine, and the Jockey Club who notified Xiangjiang.

   Now, such a statement has rarely appeared, because Jiaku has surpassed HSBC, Jardine, Jockey Club, and even Jiaku has now begun to acquire Jardine.

  Under such circumstances, it has become so difficult for them to deal with Chu Huan! .

  HSBC Headquarters!

   "Xia Dingji's meeting is still going on?" Shen Bi asked Roy Bentley.

Roy Bentley nodded and said: "Yes, I haven't called back at this time, obviously this meeting is still going on, but we don't actually need to know the result of their meeting, because the result is already doomed! "

  Shen Bi said: "Is that why you didn't go to this meeting?"

  Roy Bentley, as the head class of HSBC, was naturally included in the invitation, but after receiving the call, Roy Bentley refused directly on the grounds that he had something to deal with.

Roy Bentley sat on the sofa, his eyes were a little erratic, and he said: "To be honest, I really hope that Chu Huan can lose this time, but I also know that the root of this matter is not in Xiangjiang, but in Xiangjiang. In London, if Robbie, Xia Dingji and others think that a small Hong Kong government meeting in Xiangjiang can deny this matter, then they will underestimate Chu Huan too much.

  Actually, what they are dealing with this time is not just Chu Huan, but the Chinese businessmen in the entire Xiangjiang. The Chinese businessmen have grown up in recent years, and they are no longer the old days when they relied on us as compradors.

  In these years, that Chinese businessman has no relationship with the Hong Kong government. As long as Jiaku can successfully acquire Jardine this time, then for these Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang, it will actually be the best era.

  In addition to the past two years, Chu Huan has been wooing these Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang, forming various consortiums to develop outside Xiangjiang, and they have already become a community of interests.

  At this time, they will definitely help Chu Huan with all their strength.

  Under such a force, any department in Xiangjiang must seriously consider it. "

   Shen Bi nodded with a gloomy expression. He also saw this, so he didn't have any suggestions for Roy Bentley not going to that meeting.

   "From this point of view, Xiangjiang actually has no power to suppress Chu Huan!"

  Roy Bentley looked at Shen Bi and asked, "You want to talk about the re-registration again?"

   Shen Bi nodded, and said: "After this battle, regardless of whether Chu Huan wins or loses in the end, Jiaku's prestige in Xiangjiang will reach its peak, and we, HSBC, can no longer stop it!"

Roy Bentley did not directly answer Shen Bi's words this time, but calmly said: "No matter what, let's take a look first, the influence of Jiaku has increased, and the influence of HSBC has not declined too much. The result is still acceptable, you have to know that no matter where we go, we are all outsiders to the local area, as long as Xiangjiang is still that Xiangjiang, we have advantages that Jiaku does not have!"

  Shen Bi finally nodded helplessly.

.

  Swire Group Headquarters.

  Shuaiya sat in his office, with this morning's "True Paper" on his desk.

   As for Chu Huan's desire to acquire Jardine and Land, Shi Huaiya had actually made a judgment a long time ago, but he was still not sure about it at the time.

  It's all right now, don't think about anything, the matter has been published in the newspapers, and everything has become a foregone conclusion.

   "Chu Huan's chartered flight must be to go to London to solve the problem over there."

  John Shi sat opposite to Shi Huaiya, carefully analyzing the current situation. Shi Huaiya knew about Jiaku chartering a flight in Cathay Pacific before, but at that time he couldn't figure out why Jiaku chartered a flight.

  Now, with the announcement of the acquisition of Jardine Land by Chinese Land, John Shi finally understood the purpose of the other party's charter flight.

Shi Huaiya nodded and said: "It's like this. The decisive factor in the acquisition of Jardine and Land Land is not in Xiangjiang, but in London. I just can't figure out where Chu Huan's self-confidence comes from. How dare he dare to compete with the Keswick family in London?" Network!"

Shi Yadi also sat in the office and said: "Actually, I don't think there is anything I can't understand about this matter. Many years ago, Chu Huan's warehouse business had already involved Europe. I believe he must have his own connections in Europe. This is also the reason why Jiaku's development in Xiangjiang has not received too much external interference for so many years.

  I think it is precisely because of this reason that Chu Huan has the confidence to fight the Keswick family in England! "

   Shi Huaiya nodded, showing a gratified expression, and said to John Shi and Shi Yadi with a smile: "Very good, you two have grown up, and you both know that you have your own opinions. This is really good!"

  John Shi asked with some incomprehension: "But there is one thing I still don't quite understand. In my opinion, Chu Huan's acquisition of Ou this time is actually a little bit too big."

Shi Huaiya is very happy with John Shi and Shi Yadi's growth. As for the battle for Jardine, Shi Huaiya doesn't really care too much, although he also understands that if Huaren Real Estate can successfully acquire Jardine and Land, it will make many Chinese consortiums in Xiangjiang Foreign capital consortiums began to eye them.

   But their shareholding in Taikoo is very reasonable. Most importantly, their Swire family's control over Taikoo is not comparable to the Keswick family's control over Jardine.

  In Swariyar's view, Keswick is too big. He only holds 10% of Jardine's shares, so he dares to think that he can sit back and relax.

   Maybe it used to work, but now it really doesn't work!

   "What do you not understand?"

John Shi said: "To acquire the shares of Jardine and Landmark at the same time, Chu Huan needs to use 28.12 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, but if Chu Huan just acquires Jardine, the cash required is actually less than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. If you control Jardine, you will naturally control Hongkong Land, so why spend nearly 20 billion more cash to acquire the shares of Hongkong Land at the same time?"

Jardine is the holding company of Hongkong Land. As John Shi said, the acquisition of Jardine does not need to spend so much money, but now Chu Huan is buying Jardine and Hongkong at the same time. It is not just that John Shi can't understand it. Many Xiangjiang businessmen can't understand it either!

   But Swire is obviously not in this category.

   "It's very simple, Chu Huan is using all means to make Henry Keswick unable to fight him." Shi Huaiya explained.

"If it's just to buy Jardine, as you said, Chu Huan doesn't even need to use 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, but at the same time, it will also give Keswick a hope that as long as he raises enough funds, he will be able to It can compete with Chu Huan for the control of Yihe.

  Jardines is the lifeblood of Keswick, and they will not give up easily. If that is the case, it is very likely that the Keswick family will spend funds to compete with Chu Huan for Jardines in the commercial field.

  In that case, if Chu Huan wants to get Jardine, he can only increase the purchase price.

  But it is different now. Chu Huan acquired Jardine and Landmark at the same time, and the cash involved was nearly 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is something Chu Huan announced to the outside world.

He has sufficient cash in his hands, and he is bound to win this acquisition. Between 10 billion Hong Kong dollars and 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, the shock brought by 10 billion Hong Kong dollars is naturally not as big as the shock of 30 billion Hong Kong dollars .

   More importantly, Chu Huan can use this acquisition to completely let him rest easy in the future.

  Why Jardine and Landmark are missed by Chu Huan, the reason is that both the Keswick family's holdings in Jardine and Jardine's holdings in Landmark are at a very dangerous boundary.

  After Chu Huan completes the acquisition this time, these two consortiums will be firmly controlled by Chu Huan, and no one can covet these two groups anymore.

   Once and for all is better than worrying about being outdated! "

  After hearing Shi Huaiya's analysis, the brothers John Shi and Shi Yadi really understood what Chu Huan meant.

   But after understanding, I was shocked.

   "Chu Huan's investment in the past two years is not small, but under such circumstances, Chu Huan can still raise nearly 30 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. How terrifying is his cash pool?"

   Shi Yadi couldn't help asking.

  Shi Huaiya shook his head and said, "I'm afraid only Chu Huan knows about this matter!"

  Afterwards, Shi Huaiya smiled freely and said: "Okay, it is impossible for us to know this kind of thing, since it is impossible to know, we should stop guessing, you go to work, I still have to call Chu Huan!"

   John Shi and Yadi Shi were stunned. They didn't understand why their father called Chu Huan at this time.

Shi Huaiya laughed and said: "History tells us that the long-term victors have a high probability of winning when they face anything. Although we can't do it in a timely manner, we can always add icing on the cake. This time I think Chu Huan will still win, so some things should have an end!"

  After speaking, Shi Huaiya didn't say anything to the two brothers. After the two of them left, Shi Huaiya called Chu Huan's office.

.

  On the top floor of China Building, in Chu Huan's office.

Xu Yi said with some doubts at this time: "It's very strange. During the meeting held by Xia Dingji in Luo Bishi, not only our people refuted Xia Dingji's series of orders, but Luo Bishi, as the initiator, did not issue any orders during the whole process. , and many people who are not us are also speaking for us, what's going on?"

  The meeting at Robertson's mansion has ended, and the result is that it has no effect.

  Xia Dingji's series of unruly orders were all refuted by others, which made Xia Dingji feel ashamed and even furious on the spot, but this still didn't change anything.

   After the meeting ended, someone also told Xu Yi about the situation on the scene.

Chu Huan didn't have any doubts about this, and said with a smile: "The people who spoke out for us should be related to the charter king and the others. You should remember this matter. After this acquisition is over, we will Thank them so much!"

  Although Bao Yugang and others haven't talked to Chu Huan on the phone, Chu Huan has already guessed their behavior after listening to Xu Yi's report.

"As for Robert? It can only be said that this person has seen the matter clearly. This matter is beyond Xiangjiang's decision. What he says or doesn't say can't change the result. Instead of this, he It’s better not to say anything and keep your prestige.”

  Xu Yi suddenly realized, and said, "So that's how it is!"

   At this time, the phone on Chu Huan's desk rang, and it was Shi Huaiya calling.

  Knowing that Shi Huaiya is going to come in person, Chu Huan naturally has no objection, and said with a smile: "Waiting for you anytime!"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Huan said to Xu Yi again: "Shi Huaiya from Taigu will be here soon, you ask our people to keep an eye on Keswick, I think Keswick should have understood by this time, this matter The matter cannot be resolved by Xiangjiang, so he will definitely return to London and seek a higher level of administrative power to deny this transaction, so as soon as he gets on the plane, he will immediately tell Ma Jizu about it and let him Keswick is being eyed in London, and I want to know who he's seen!"

  Xu Yi nodded and said: "Understood!"

.

  Shi Huaiya came to Chu Huan's office.

   "Mr. Chu, you are really a blockbuster! When I came here, I went to the purchase point of Fengwu Securities to take a look, and there was already a long queue."

  Shuaiyaer said with a smile.

  Chu Huan said politely: "Mr. Daban is absurd, and I just took advantage of a surprise. I believe Keswick will definitely fight back!"

  Shuaiya sat on the sofa and uttered a classic line: "But there is not much time left for Keswick!"

As long as there is no intervention in the form of documents, Huaren Land will continue to buy shares in Jardine and Landmark. According to Chu Huan's price, it may take less than two days to win the shares of these two consortiums. Control, and at that time, it will be even more difficult to issue administrative documents!

  Chu Huan really wants to ask, have you watched the national football games in later generations?

   "Haha, Mr. Taiban is really funny, but Mr. Taiban, you are here this time, you are also here to intercede for Henry Keswick, right?"

  Shi Huaiya also shook his head with a smile and said: "Mr. Chu, why are you making such a joke at this time? I don't believe Mr. Chu, you don't know why I came here!"

  Chu Huan didn't play charades with Shi Huaiya anymore, but said with a smile: "Mr. Taipan is here to get rich, right?"

  Hefu, once HSBC joined forces with Jardine, Swire, Hehe International, Wheelock Hong Kong, the four major British consortiums, and Li Jiacheng to jointly establish an investment company, in order to compete with Chu Huan for the shares of Qingzhou Yingni.

  The assets of Hefu actually include a 5% stake in Hongkong Land.

Chu Huan acquired Hehe International-Wheelock, and then bought the shares of Hefu from the hands of Li Jiacheng, but even so, Hefu Yihe and Swire are still the major shareholders, and the two jointly hold Hefu 55.86 % of shares.

   Now that Shi Huaiya came to find Chu Huan in person, in fact, he wanted to play this trump card, which is why Shi Huaiya was able to lend money to Keswick with confidence before.

  At that time, Shi Huaiya had already guessed that Chu Huan was likely to make a move on Hefu Land, and the 5% stake in Hefu Land was his best hole card.

  Si Huaiya chooses to stand with Chu Huan, then Chu Huan can successfully get 5% of the shares, otherwise Keswick will have more shares in Landmark.

   Now Swire has clearly made a decision.

   "I thought Mr. Taipan would wait to see the quotation from Keswick, but I didn't expect it to be so happy!"

   Chu Huan laughed.

   Being able to get the 5% shares of Landmark is naturally very important to Chu Huan. After all, Chu Huan bought the shares of Hefu from Li Jiacheng at the beginning for this matter.

Shi Huaiya sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, waved her hands slightly and said: "There is nothing to think about, Director Chu, you choose to do it at this time, I believe you must have made complete preparations, since this is the case, What am I waiting for?"

  Chu Huan got up, Shi Huaiya also stood up when she saw this.

  After reaching out his hand, Chu Huan smiled and said to Shi Huaiya: "Mr. Taiban, thank you this time!"

  Shi Huaiya smiled and said: "Mr. Chu is too polite, but there is one thing, I really hope that Mr. Chu can support us Taikoo!"

  Chu Huan asked with a smile: "What is Mr. Daban talking about?"

   Shi Huaiya said: "Our Swire Group is very optimistic about the development of Yunhai Group, so we also very much hope to reach a strategic cooperation relationship with Yunhai Group. I hope Director Chu can agree to this!"

Swire Group is one of the four major British consortiums in Xiangjiang. Many people know that Cathay Pacific, which is a subsidiary of Swire Group, has a near monopoly on Xiangjiang's aviation industry, and Taikoo Shing, which is developed by Swire Group. But in fact, many people ignore Swire Group. Another great asset.

   That is, the Swire Group is the general agent of Coca-Cola in the Asia-Pacific region. It can be said that Coca-Cola's sales in Asia are entirely dependent on the Swire Group.

Now, even though Chinese Land did not complete the acquisition of Jardine, Yunhai Group is still the largest retailer in Xiangjiang. More importantly, Yunhai Group is not only the largest retailer in Xiangjiang, but also the largest retailer in Asia. Logistics company, warehousing company.

   This is really important to Swire Group.

  So at this time, Shi Huaiya proposed to form a strategic partnership with Yunhai Group.

  Chu Huan simply pondered about this, and agreed to Shi Huaiya's request for cooperation, but at the same time put forward his own opinions.

"There is no problem in reaching a strategic partnership, but in the contract between the two parties, there can be no exclusive requirements. Yunhai Group can use more resources to promote Coca-Cola, but at the same time, in the future, if a Coca-Cola company with better conditions seeks to settle in , we can also give the other party better conditions, and of course the reward given by the other party must be higher than Taikoo!"

Chu Huan made this request because, in Chu Huan’s view, the two beverages, Jianlibao and black tea, cannot simply meet the needs of Yunhai Group. That is to say, in the future, Yunhai Group will definitely develop its own cola .

   In the carbonated beverage market, Coke has always been the eternal king!

  But at this time, Shi Huaiya didn't guess what Chu Huan was thinking. He was not omnipotent, nor was he a roundworm in Chu Huan's stomach. At this time, Shi Huaiya just thought that Chu Huan wanted to let Yunhai Group have more say.

  So he didn't think too much about Chu Huan's request.

   After all, this is a very common request.

   "No problem, then Director Chu, I hope we can cooperate happily!" This time, Shi Huaiya took the initiative to shake hands with Chu Huan!

   "Happy cooperation!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

.

   When Chu Huan and Shi Huaiya completed the transaction, Henry Keswick was also making his own decisions.

"It is very difficult for Xiangjiang to give Chu Huan the resistance to acquire Jardine and Landmark. This matter must be let Yinglun speak up, so I have already ordered someone to fly to England. You are always paying attention to Xiangjiang. The trend of this matter, after I return to England, I will call you as soon as possible!"

  Henry Keswick, after going through the meeting with Robertson just now, also understood that it is impossible to prevent Chu Huan from buying Jardine in Xiangjiang!

Niu Bijian said worriedly: "Mr. Keswick, just now I have asked people to check the acquisition points of Fengwu Securities in various areas of Hong Kong. There are long queues at each acquisition point to prevent Hua Ren from acquiring Jardine. Land matters must be done quickly, if Huaren Land completed the acquisition of Jardine and Land, then it will be even more difficult to get Yinglun to issue orders!"

  Henry Keswick nodded and said: "I know, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Henry Keswick paused for a moment, and said to New Bijian: "After I leave, you must contact Swire Swire immediately. The most important thing now is to keep our shares in these two groups as much as possible. , Hefu still has 5% of Hongkong shares, it must not be lost!"

  Niu Bijian nodded and said: "Before Shi Huaiya was willing to lend us money, which shows that the other party is still more optimistic about us. It shouldn't be too difficult for him to stand by our side!"

  Henry Keswick nodded in satisfaction, now he just wants to return to London as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late!

   Thank you everyone, the typo is corrected first and then corrected~
