Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 1477 Hunting S·G·Warburg Company

In S.G. Warburg, Terrence Wahlberg is chairing a board meeting to discuss and study countermeasures to overcome the difficulties.

After being mired in losses, S.G. Warburg was abandoned by many investors.

In this week alone, the company's outflow has reached 224.15 million pounds, and more investors are applying for withdrawal, so that the company's already tight capital chain has become even more taut.

When the company had been making money, it didn't matter how Terrence Wahlberg ran, and the company's directors embraced his decisions.

But that's not the case when the losses are severe.

Even though S.G. Warburg is strictly an asset of the Warburg family, the management and control rights of the company are in the hands of the Warburg family!

Although the shareholding of other directors may not be very high, their social influence or background will definitely not be bad.

Otherwise they wouldn't be able to get on the board of S.G. Warburg.

Because of their shareholding relationship, these directors also brought rich social resources to S.G. Warburg, boosting the growth of S.G. Warburg.

Also, many of the directors here were recruited by Terrence Wahlberg when his father was there, and they are all veterans.

So Terrence Wahlberg has to take care of the emotions of these directors.

"Terrence, now the company has reached a very dangerous situation. We have been severely targeted and suppressed in the stock exchange market, futures market and treasury bond market, but we do not have sufficient funds to fight, without funds, we will lose resistance. capability, the consequence is the loss of the market position we have always had.”

A director from West Germany said grimly.

S·G·Warburg is the top securities dealer in the UK, the top three issuers of government bonds, and the top three secondary market placement underwriters in Europe.

As for the futures market and other businesses, it also plays a pivotal role.

In the past, S·G·Huabao was able to continuously consolidate and win the market by relying on the accumulated market reputation, huge capital and powerful management methods.

But now, the reputation of S.G. Huabao has collapsed and the capital chain is tight, and it is no longer able to maintain the framework built in the past by means of business operations alone.

"Yes, I also have very bad news here."

"We have been removed from the underwriters of BP. This feast has nothing to do with us. All the preparations we have made before are wasted."

Another director said a bad news, which made everyone sitting down look bad.

BP is a giant company. The British government has carried out equity reforms before, but it has not been carried out completely.

This year, the British government decided to let BP listed on the stock market, which will be a gluttonous feast in the eyes of all financial companies, and S.G. Warburg has made a lot of preparations for this.

just now...

"There is no chance anymore?" a director asked reluctantly.

"There are still opportunities, but the meaning there is to let us not be in a hurry. The specific list and share of results will change later, at least two months."

Just this explanation made everyone's faces even more ugly.

Isn't this just to show that they are not optimistic about them, and let them focus their energy on getting through the difficulties first.

"Terrence, can the Rohir Family provide financial support?"

The director from West Germany couldn't help it and threw this very sharp question.

Facing the pair of sharp eyes, Terrence Wahlberg, who was sitting at the top, could only pretend to be calm and reassure everyone: "Everyone, please rest assured, the funding issue will be resolved."

"However, the company's interests belong to everyone. I hope that when the company faces a crisis, everyone can mobilize their own resources to tide over the difficulties together with the company."

"Especially the company's internal operation and capital situation, I hope everyone can keep it strictly confidential,

Otherwise we'll all be screwed together. "

For a time, the people present had different thoughts.

...

after the meeting.

Terrence Wahlberg hurriedly returned to the office by himself, and made several calls to Evelyn Rosier, but no one answered. He couldn't sit still in a state of restlessness, and set off directly to the Roshir family. .

And what he didn't know was.

People from Bright Fund have already contacted other minority shareholders of S.G. Huabao Company.

The first person to be found was Peter Hoffbauer of West Germany, a little old German man who was over sixty years old.

The Hofbauer family is a large family in Bavaria, West Germany, and the Hofbauer family is also one of the shareholders of the West German Yubao Bank.

Peter Hoffbauer had just left the headquarters of S.G. Warburg and wanted to return to West Germany when he received a strange call from Curtis Dubois of the M\u0026A Department of Bright Fund. A meeting place was also reported, which was a cafe in the City of London area.

Peter Hoffbauer just thought for two minutes before directing the driver to the meeting point.

"Mr. Peter Hoffbauer?"

"Yes."

"Hello, I'm Curtis Dubois, Deputy Manager of the M\u0026A Department of Bright Fund. I'm so glad you can come to the appointment."

"Hello!"

After simply shaking hands and saying hello, the two came to a corner of the cafe and sat down. As for the subordinates brought by the two, they sat not far away.

After each ordered coffee, it took a while to come up.

But Curtis Dubois said straight to the point: "Mr. Hofbauer, you must understand the purpose of my appointment to meet you, so I will say it directly."

"I want to acquire the 2.14% stake in S.G. Warburg that you hold."

Peter Hoffbauer stared blankly at Curtis Dubois for a long time before slowly saying, "To be honest, I don't want to sell this equity."

"S·G·Warburg is our top partner of Yubao Bank. As a shareholder and director of both companies, this stake is not just on paper."

Curtis Dubois laughed and directly pierced Peter Hoffbauer's lie.

"Mr. Hofbauer, listen to what you mean, this time S.G. Huabao failed to attack Xiangjiang, and the bad consequences caused by the serious loss also affected Yubao Bank?"

Peter Hoffbauer shook his face, the strongman was embarrassed, and said decisively: "Of course not, I mean that S.G. Warburg has a close cooperation with our Yubao Bank in the West German market."

"Moreover, I would like to emphasize that the attack on the Hong Kong Capital Market was led by Rothschild Investment Bank. Although S.G. Warburg participated, the degree of participation was not deep, and the actual impact was not as bad as described by outside public opinion. "

"As for where the public opinion comes from, I think Mr. Dubois should know better than me."

Curtis Dubois didn't care about Peter Hoffbauer's rebuke.

He continued with a smile and said, "Mr. Hoffbauer, we all know how much S.G. Warburg has lost. Although I am not a director of S.G. Warburg like you are, I am in the financial sector. In the world, a lot of data can be analyzed, and you don’t need completely detailed data, just a rough idea is enough.”

"Isn't it?"

"And, if S.G. Warburg is doing well, I don't think we can have a chat here right now, don't you think?"

Peter Hoffbauer's face was completely unbearable, and he stared at Curtis Dubois angrily and said: "Mr. Dubois, I don't think we need to continue talking, I decided to meet you is a the wrong decision making."

After all, Peter Hoffbauer wanted to get up and leave.

Curtis Dubois needs to verify whether he is pretending or not. Anyway, what he said must have worked, and that's enough.

He hurriedly got up to apologize and discouraged: "Mr. Hofbauer, I'm sorry, there are some problems with my language, please forgive me."

Sure enough, Peter Hoffbauer hesitated a few times and still did not leave.

Upon seeing this, Curtis Dubois was certain, knowing that this was basically done, and the next question was the price.

"Mr. Hofbauer, please make a price. We sincerely want to acquire the equity of S.G. Warburg."

"As for the cooperation between S.G. Huabao and Yubao Bank, I would like to reassure you that it will not have any impact."

"Although our Bright Fund has been in West Germany for many years, because the business has been growing, we still need more partners. If you are willing to connect, I think our Bright Fund is very happy to cooperate with Yubao Bank."

The steps were wide and good, and Peter Hoffbauer, who didn't want to be dragged down by S.G. Warburg, made a decision in his heart.

However, he still held a glimmer of hope to see if the Bright Fund really knew the real situation of S.G. Huabao Company.

So he rejected the first bid and asked:

"How much are you going to pay?"

Curtis Dubois smiled slightly and quoted a price: "Twenty million pounds!"

Peter Hoffbauer's face turned dark, and he immediately retorted: "This is impossible, the price is too low, and it is seriously inconsistent with the market position and volume of S.G. Warburg."

Curtis Dubois shook his head and said: "S.G. Warburg has lost more than four billion US dollars, and now it has been withdrawn by a large number of investors. Although S.G. Warburg has not been listed, its valuation Absolutely no more than £800m, and our £20m bid is a premium."

Peter Hoffbauer continued to retort: ​​"It can't be a valuation of 800 million pounds, and S.G. Warburg does not have such a serious loss..."

"..."

Soon coffee was served.

The two have been drinking all the coffee, and there is no consistent result.

Finally, Curtis Dubois suddenly said: "Mr. Hofbauer, I can buy your equity for 25 million pounds, which is equivalent to a 50% premium."

"And if you do us a favor, we'll pay you another million pounds."

Peter Hoffbauer's heart was moved, and he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

Curtis Dubois raised his mouth slightly and said slowly: "Accepted by the media, it was announced that it was really a loss, and it was admitted that S.G. Warburg did have huge hidden risks."

Peter Hoffbauer's eyes became very deep, and he looked straight at Curtis Dubois, who kept smiling and just looked at him.

After a long time...

Peter Hoffbauer spoke, but what he said made Curtis Dubois smile.

"One million bank is not enough, I want three million pounds!"

"Yes!" Curtis Dubois agreed.

Peter Hoffbauer twitched the corner of his mouth: "I seem to have opened a low price."

Curtis Dubois said with a smile: "No, the bottom line the company gives me is three million pounds. Since you negotiated with me in good faith just now, then I will give you everything I can give."

"Oh~ maybe." Peter Hoffbauer laughed at himself and shrugged.

The price was set by him, and since the other party agreed, he could not go back.

Next, it is naturally the time to sign the agreement.

But the cafe is not suitable.

Peter Hoffbauer went directly to the headquarters of the Bright Fund with Curtis Dubois and signed an equity transfer agreement.

On the afternoon of the same day, 2.14% of S.G. Warburg's shares were taken by the Bright Fund, and the 28 million pounds of funds were transferred to the account designated by Peter Hofbauer.

During this period, Curtis Dubois learned from Peter Hoffbauer the most real situation in the S.G. Warburg company, who had abandoned Terrence Warburg, of course, knew everything answer.

And Peter Hoffbauer also accepted an interview with the "Financial Times".

This interview news, after it was published in the newspaper the next morning, instantly stirred up a storm!

S.G. Warburg was pushed to the forefront, and Terrence Wahlberg was completely panicked.
