Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Mr. James, your company's strength in corporate mergers and acquisitions is among the best. I heard that as long as your company handles the acquisition business, it will hardly fail."

As soon as Xia Yu's flattering words came out, James Richard was stunned. Xia Yu played cards completely out of common sense, which was completely different from what he thought!

But not letting James Richard continue to wonder, Xia Yu paused for a few seconds and continued.

"So this time I came here because I wanted to entrust your company to buy some stocks for me!"

After speaking, Xia Yu looked at James Richard with a smile.

Hearing this, James Richard already knew in his heart and knew what Xia Yu wanted to do.

"Mr. Xia, are you buying the shares of Jardine Machinery Group?"

Although he was already guessing, James Richard asked solemnly.

"Yes, I would like to entrust your company to help me acquire the shares of Jardine Machine Group Group from Cummins, Nomura Securities, Daiwa Securities and other companies."

Xia Yu nodded slightly, said affirmatively, and looked at James Richard with burning eyes.

James Richard's heart skipped a beat, and he was instantly refreshed.

After all, according to the requirements that Xia Yu has already stated, at least a transaction of several hundred million Hong Kong dollars is involved.

Such a transaction is already a heavy-duty transaction for Goldman Sachs Group Hong Kong Branch. According to the normal commission, there are also tens of millions of profits. How can James Richard not pay attention?

Customer is god!

When Xia Yu threw such a big cake, James Richard's attitude instantly became enthusiastic.

"Mr. Xia, thank you very much for your trust in our company. We have certain confidence in this business, but I don't know what detailed requirements you have?"

James Richard asked expectantly.

The fish is hooked!

Xia Yu smiled in his heart.

However, instead of answering his question as James Richard expected, he put on a stunned look and asked: "Mr. James, I just remembered that it seems that your company also has a part of Yihe. Machine Group stock?"

Seeing Xia Yu's somewhat exaggerated acting skills, and hearing his words, James Richard's smile gradually subsided and returned to his shrewd look, he and Xia Yu looked at each other for a few seconds before nodding slightly: "I remember our company is There is a portion of the stock."

Speaking of this, James Richard stopped talking and waited for Xia Yu to take the initiative to speak.

But he also began to think about whether to sell the stock to Xia Yu.

In fact, after Xia Yu spoke, James Richard knew that what Xia Yu threw in front of him was a bait and a condition, otherwise he would not suddenly stop talking and avoid talking.

Whether the entrusted acquisition business can continue depends on whether the shares in their hands are willing to sell to Xia Yu.

If it is sold, then the pie thrown by Xia Yu will naturally belong to them.

If they hold on to the stock and don't sell, the mouth-watering heavy business will slip past his eyes.

James Richard had planned to continue to hold the stock, but apparently now he must make a choice!

His eyes met with the high-level executives on the left and right sides, and the two high-level executives next to him nodded slightly to show their attitude. James Richard's eyes flashed, and he made a decision in his heart.

Let’s look at the price, as long as the price is negotiable, combined with the later pie, as long as the overall benefit is greater, it can still be sold!

"Mr. James, I want to buy the shares of Jardine Machinery Group in your company. I don't know what conditions your company has?"

Xia Yu asked straight into the subject, and said very blatantly,

No cover at all.

After speaking, Xia Yu looked at James Richard quietly, waiting for his reply.

James Richard showed an apologetic smile and said, "Mr. Xia, I can't decide this matter alone. We need to discuss it, please wait!"

After speaking, James Richard stood up and walked outside, and the other two executives followed.

"Please! I'm waiting for your good news!"

Xia Yu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile.

Then, James Richard and the three were seen leaving the small conference room.

"Boss, it seems that there should be no problem."

Wang Qi, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but said with a smile.

Xia Yu smiled lightly, nodded slightly and said, "If I were them, I would sell it!"

Xia Yu and others were not allowed to wait for a long time. After a while, the door of the small conference room opened again, and James Richard and the three walked in again.

"Mr. Xia, the stock of Jardine Machinery Group can be sold to you."

Hearing this, Xia Yu smiled slightly to express his gratitude, and then quietly listened to the next conditions.

"But you also know that the Jardine Machinery Group's share price has a lot of room to rise, and you can't let us suffer, so we hope the price is 110 Hong Kong dollars per share!"

James Richard said calmly, hearing this price, Xia Yu couldn't help squinting his eyes.

James Richard is really a lion!

On Friday, the closing price of Jardine Machinery Group was only 78 Hong Kong dollars per share, and now he actually bid 110 Hong Kong dollars, a premium of 41%!

This price shouted fiercely!

Without Xia Yu opening his mouth, Wang Qi knew that he wanted to play a black face and sing double reeds with the boss. He said with a cold face without hesitation: "Mr. James, this price is too high, we are not taking advantage of it!"

James Richard still had a smile on his face, without any embarrassment, but shrugged his shoulders and said warmly, "Mr. Wang, this price was decided after our company's discussion, and it is the will of our entire company. In fact, I also want to Cheaper, but I'm really sorry, you can't let us lose, can you?"

James Richard's ability to open his eyes and talk nonsense is not bad. He easily pushed the pressure away, trying to block Wang Qi and Xia Yu's bargaining.

But such a high price is absolutely impossible for Xia Yu to accept.

So I saw Wang Qi continue to retort: ​​"Mr. James, at this price, we can completely take the stocks in the hands of other companies. Presumably Cummins and Nomura Securities are also willing to sell them. We don't need to buy the stocks in your hands and entrust the acquisition. There is no need for business.”

Wang Qi also used his trump card to remind James Richard of acquiring business.

The price of 110 Hong Kong dollars per share may not necessarily win the shares of other companies, but when Wang Qi said that, James Richard can't refute it, can he prove it?

...

After some intense chatter, the share price was finally negotiated, from HK$110 per share to HK$95 per share, a premium of 21.7%.

But to promise this price, Goldman Sachs is also conditional!

Xia Yu will use the binding regulations, and of course James Richard will also use it!

That is, the Jardine Machine Group's stock in Goldman Sachs can also be sold to Xia Yu, but Xia Yu must also hand over the entrusted acquisition business to Goldman Sachs and sign an agreement at the same time.

"Mr. James, first of all thank your company for your help, then next, let's talk about the business that is entrusted to acquire."

Xia Yu thanked him first, and then mentioned the heavy-duty acquisition business that James Richard was concerned about.

"Mr. James, I am willing to pay 120 Hong Kong dollars to entrust your company to acquire the shares of Jardine Machinery Group!"

Xia Yu smiled and threw a blockbuster.

James Richard was shocked, and then his face brightened. He didn't expect that the reason why he was desperately pressing the price just now was that he was so generous and gave such a high purchase price!

He was already mentally prepared to continue negotiating with Xia Yu, but now the price has completely exceeded his psychological expectations, so there is no need to talk about it!

Fixed purchase price of HK$120 per share!

Totally over 50% premium!

This means their operational profit margin is HK$42!

If they bought it at a lower price, and they sold it to Xia Yu at a price of 120 Hong Kong dollars per share, the higher the profit would be!

Counting the stocks held by Cummins, Nomura Securities and Daiwa Securities, the theoretical upper limit of the profit that can be obtained is 270 million Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, this profit cap is the case where Goldman Sachs bought the stock at a price of HK$78. If the higher the price of the stock Goldman Sachs bought from them, the lower the intermediate profit Goldman Sachs would get!

How much profit can be obtained depends on Goldman Sachs' ability!

"Mr. Xia, we have taken over this business!"

James Richard said without hesitation, as if afraid that Xia Yu would go back on it.

Who knows, just when James Richard was smiling, Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. James, don't worry, we have conditions for giving such a high price!"

James Richard smiled, looked at Xia Yu solemnly and said, "Please say it!"

Xia Yu still has conditions, but James Richard is more at ease, this is like Xia Yu!

"The purpose of our acquisition of Jardine Machinery Group's stock is to complete its acquisition and seize control from Jardine Holdings."

Xia Yu said slowly, and James Richard nodded in agreement.

This was indeed the truth, and he couldn't argue with that.

"Your company also knows that Jardine Holdings is now the largest shareholder, with a high stake, and it is very close to the absolute control line. If Jardine Holdings takes the lead in completing absolute control, our acquisition will fail."

"So this means that we have to complete the absolute control of Jardine Machinery Group before Jardine Holdings."

"If our acquisition fails, the entrusted acquisition agreement will be terminated directly!"

Xia Yu said plainly, but James Richard nodded solemnly, apparently agreeing with Xia Yu's conditions.

He subconsciously thought that this was a condition for Xia Yu to urge Goldman Sachs to help acquire stocks as soon as possible.

But from the bottom of his heart, he also wanted to help Xia Yu complete the acquisition as soon as possible.

Because the longer the delay, the failure of the acquisition will lead to the failure of the agreement, the higher the stock price, and the lower the intermediate profit that Goldman Sachs can obtain.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xia, we will do our best to help you acquire stocks."

James Richard promised.

"That's good!"

Xia Yu smiled.

After negotiating, the next step is to start signing the agreement.

Before long, two different agreements were drawn up and signed.

94.62 million Hong Kong dollars bought 2.49% of Jardine Machinery Group's shares in Goldman Sachs Group, and went directly to the bank to clear money and goods.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Xia Yu shook hands with James Richard and congratulated each other.

"Mr. James, I'm going to trouble you next time!"

Xia Yu reminded again.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xia, we will do our best!"

James Richard solemnly promises again.

"Looking forward to your good news!"

After that, Xia Yu said goodbye to James Richard and took Wang Qi to the car to leave.

"Boss, you are too good to play James Richard around."

In the car, Wang Qi said admiringly.

"Haha, you cooperated very well and didn't let them find any flaws."

Xia Yu smiled.

Xia Yu's entrusted acquisition agreement was never intended to be successful from the beginning to the end. This agreement was proposed to lure Goldman Sachs into taking the bait, making Goldman Sachs spit out the stocks that he was holding on to, and at the same time act as a pawn for him.

Although outsiders always thought that Xia Yu wanted to snatch the Jardine Machine Group, Xia Yu did not deceive others, but deceived himself into it.

He has always kept in mind that he just wants to make a fortune, and at the same time replace 30% of the Jardine Insurance Consultants Group's shares in the Jardine Consortium.

He has already received the news that the nine Chinese bosses are strong, and several of them have completed the preliminary preparations, and the remaining ones will soon be completed.

This means that collective action is about to take place.

By then, the sky will be shattered, and the Jardine Consortium will definitely panic.

And Goldman Sachs would never have thought that they would have less than two days left. In these two days, even with the strength of Goldman Sachs Group, it is impossible to gnaw the three hard bones of Cummins and the two securities companies of the island country.

At that time, as long as Xia Yu secretly completes the exchange with the Keswick family, the entrusted acquisition agreement with Goldman Sachs will be automatically terminated, and the 120 Hong Kong dollars he promised will become a flower in the mirror.

If Goldman Sachs suddenly took over some of the shares, Xia Yu would also fulfill the agreement, agreeing to take it down with a stock price of 120 Hong Kong dollars, and then sell it to the Keswick family?

Goldman Sachs can't sell the stock to the Keswick family at a price of 120 Hong Kong dollars. If Xia Yu asks for 120 Hong Kong dollars, if the Keswick family does not want to lose the Jardine Machine Group, they have to pinch their noses and buy it!

Of course, if Goldman Sachs fails to buy any shares in the end, Xia Yu will offer them another HKD 5 million for hard work. James Richard has nothing to say, but he has to be grateful for Xia Yu's generosity.

After all, the agreement signed by Xia Yu and Goldman Sachs did not mention that Xia Yu was not allowed to sell shares to the Keswick family.

This loophole was completely ignored by James Richard and others subconsciously. After all, they were completely deceived by Xia Yu, thinking that he really wanted to acquire the Jardine Machine Group.

Even if this was not proposed, the 5 million hard work that Xia Yu was going to give after the failure of the acquisition was taken from Goldman Sachs. Adding the 5 million, it is equivalent to buying Jardine from Goldman Sachs for 100 Hong Kong dollars per share. Machine Group shares.

If there is no entrusted acquisition agreement, Goldman Sachs will definitely not be willing to sell the shares of Jardine Machinery Group to Xia Yu at a price of 100 Hong Kong dollars per share.

But now, Goldman Sachs not only sold the stock at a price of 95 Hong Kong dollars, but also mixed it into the Jardine Machine Group's stock competition in a third-party way, making the muddy water even more muddy and letting Kai The Serk family has no way to win the stock in the hands of three shareholders including Cummins.

It can be said that he is helping Xia Yu work, delaying time for Xia Yu, and preventing the Keswick family from completing absolute control.

Looking at it this way, Xia Yu found Goldman Sachs Group, full of routines, one after another, and sold Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs is helping him count the money, and he has to thank him for his humaneness!
