After pondering for a moment, Shen Bi nodded slightly, looked into Xia Yu's eyes, and asked, "Okay, I don't know which companies have Xia Sheng's eyes on?"

"The Milk Company, Golden Gate Construction and Jardine Motors Group!"

Xia Yu said his goal lightly, but Shen Bi's brows subconsciously wrinkled.

Because HSBC has no shares in any of these three companies!

In the past few days, predators from all over the world have flocked to bite the Jardine Consortium. For the equity of some companies, they are going to blow out, and many people have come to HSBC.

For this reason, Shen Bi specially asked someone to check, which Jardine Consortium companies were held by HSBC.

He can be sure that there is absolutely no stock in the three companies that Xia Yu mentioned.

"Xia Sheng, I'm sorry, HSBC does not have the stocks of these three companies."

Shen Bi said apologetically, and at the same time, he felt regretful that he had missed out on these big deals.

Hearing what Shen Bi said, Xia Yu was not disappointed and still had a smile on his face.

Of course, HSBC does not own the shares of these three companies. After all, these three companies are all private companies of the Jardine Consortium, and they have all been privatized in recent years, so the equity should not flow out.

But since Xia Yu mentioned it, he naturally has his own ideas.

"Shen Sheng, in fact, HSBC owns equity in these companies. Isn't it Jardine Holdings, Jardine Pacific, and Jardine Group?"

Xia Yu reminded with a smile.

Shen Bi's brows wrinkled at first, a little confused, but he knew that Xia Yu's words must have deep meaning.

How are these three companies related to those three companies?

After thinking about it carefully, a flash of light flashed in Shen Bi's mind, his eyes lit up, and he thought of what Xia Yu meant.

"Xia Sheng wants me to exchange the equity of Jardine Holdings with the stocks of the three companies you want, right?"

Although Shen Bi was asking, his tone was firm.

Xia Yu nodded: "Yes,

The equity of Jardine's subsidiaries is easy to sell, but no one wants the equity of these controlling parent companies, and HSBC can't sell it even if it wants to sell it. It is better to replace it with the Keswick family and split some companies out. "

The three companies, Jardine Holdings, Jardine Group, and Jardine Pacific, are the holding parent companies whose assets are in the hands of the Keswick family, and have strong control over these companies.

The number of shares scattered by these three companies is very small, and there may be some in HSBC and Standard Chartered.

Even if these small shares are taken by other consortium bosses, they are still small shareholders, and they will not affect the will of these three companies at all. In the end, they are tasteless.

That is, holding it in the hands of the bank can obtain stable dividends.

Now that there are more companies under the Jardine Consortium that can be robbed, why put money in chicken ribs?

Other consortium bosses do not look down on some of the equity in these three companies, unless the Keswick family is willing to sell the equity of these controlling parent companies.

But this is impossible!

Therefore, these shares are placed in the hands of HSBC, and their value will shrink as the subsidiaries of the Jardine Consortium continue to decrease.

Of course, this is not to say that these shares are useless, in fact, they are still very useful.

But useful is only for the Keswick family.

At this critical time of survival, the major branches of the Keswick family will definitely find a way to cut off a large part of the unimportant companies, recover the capital, and then try to keep some important companies, especially the equity of these three parent companies. As many as possible, so that they can achieve absolute control over the subsidiary.

However, the Dairy Company, Kinmen Construction and Jardine Automobile Group that Xia Yu wanted were also important companies to the Keswick family. Even if Xia Yu used tough tactics, he might not be able to win them all.

So this requires HSBC to come forward and demand a strong split, and replace the equity in HSBC with the shares of several subsidiaries.

This kind of thing, other people may not be successful, but Shen Bi came forward, the success rate is the highest!

Don't forget that the Jardine Consortium owes a lot of money to HSBC. In these years, without HSBC's funding, how could the Jardine Consortium acquire companies on a large scale?

At this critical time of survival, these arrears have become a deadly bomb. If HSBC forced them to pay back the money on the grounds of worrying about risks and insolvency, it would really kill them!

So even if these companies don't want to sell anymore, due to reality, the Keswick family will still sell.

After all, HSBC also needs these three. In addition to these three, the Jardine Consortium also has a series of important companies such as Landmark Group, Jardine Machinery Group, Jardine Real Estate Investment, Jardine Shipping, and Yigao Property.

Without these three companies, after the exchange of shares, the Keswick family can also acquire more equity in other companies.

If you think about it from another angle, it might be helping them to streamline their power.

Shen Bi fell into deep thought, thinking back to how much equity HSBC owns in three companies including Jardine Holdings, Jardine Pacific, and how much it is worth, and whether it can be successfully exchanged, and if so, how much can it be exchanged?

Seeing Shen Bi thinking, the corner of Xia Yu's mouth curled up, poured a cup of tea on his own, and drank it slowly.

Shen Bi did not refuse, but was thinking, and he could see that he was tempted by Xia Yu's proposal.

Xia Yu had expected this situation before he came. After all, Shen Bi was not stupid. Xia Yu's proposal was actually helping HSBC to get out of the vortex and let HSBC swim out of the whirlpool.

What's more, HSBC can still make a fortune by doing this, no matter how you think about it.

After a long time, Shen Bi recovered from his deep thoughts, and said to Xia Yu seriously: "Xia Sheng, yes, we will take over this business."

Just when Xia Yu just smiled, Shen Bi continued: "However, I just calculated that the equity in HSBC's hands is not enough to completely replace the three companies you want."

It was this!

Xia Yu's heart immediately dropped, and he said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it's not enough to replace it, I'll entrust HSBC to buy it for me. I don't know if it's okay?"

Hearing this, Shen Bi, who was already prepared, smiled and nodded without hesitation: "Okay, we'll take it."

This was what Shen Bi wanted, and it would allow him to take over these three companies with peace of mind.

It doesn't matter if the value of the equity replacement is insufficient. It has reached the stage where it can be replaced. Can the Keswick family still hold a part of the equity?

HSBC wants it, but the Keswick family can't sell it yet!

What Shen Bi didn't tell Xia Yu was that in fact, HSBC could get a lot of equity without replacing this method.

The Dairy Company, Jardine Motors Group, and Kinmen Construction all asked HSBC to borrow money in order to develop. Shen Bi could completely get stocks at a low price by means of debt-to-equity swaps.

Using these two means together, it is absolutely enough to take all the shares of the three companies in the milk company.

If you get the stock at a low price and sell it backhand to Xia Yu, you can make a lot of profit.

But how much money can be made depends on how much purchase price can be negotiated when negotiating with Xia Yu!

"Okay, Shen Sheng, let's confirm the cooperation first. Please borrow the phone and I'll have someone come over."

Xia Yu drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp and said resolutely.

"Okay, please use it. I'll arrange for someone to verify it first."

After that, Xia Yu immediately called Jiuding Securities Company and asked Wang Qi to bring his lawyer and assistant.

After Wang Qi and others arrived, the people from HSBC also arrived.

The first is to talk about the one-billion-dollar loan. The key to the negotiation is the loan interest rate and the mortgage equity ratio of the Wharf Group.

These are all small issues that can be seen, and after some discussions, they soon settled down, and the two parties took the lead in signing a loan contract.

Then comes the main event!

Because HSBC has no equity in these three companies, Xia Yu signed an agreement to entrust the acquisition.

However, it was different from the entrustment agreement that was negotiated last time. This time, the commission ratio was not discussed. Instead, it was directly discussed how much fixed price to sell these three companies to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu did not take advantage of HSBC. After some negotiation, the three companies were packaged and sold to Xia Yu at a price of 900 million Hong Kong dollars. After arriving at the company, it was sold to others.

Xia Yu had no choice but to guard against it, because these three companies were too important to him, and there was absolutely no room for loss!

HSBC can definitely get it at a very low price, but these have nothing to do with Xia Yu. After all, this is HSBC's ability, and this benefit deserves it. He only needs to ensure that the company can get it.

The loan of one billion Hong Kong dollars, of which 900 million Hong Kong dollars will soon be returned to the pocket of HSBC, and the remaining 100 million Hong Kong dollars Xia Yu plans to invest in the rectification of other companies.

Under the witness of a specially invited third-party law firm, Xia Yu and Shen Bi signed and sealed on behalf of their respective companies.

Once the contract is completed, both Xia Yu and Shen Bi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After carefully accepting the contract, Xia Yu stood up and shook hands with Shen Bi to thank him: "Shen Sheng, thank you very much!"

"You're welcome, it should be us thanking you for your business!"

Shen Bi said quickly, the smile on his face could not be concealed at all.

In his eyes, Xia Yu is the god of wealth. The two cooperations with HSBC are merged together. As long as HSBC operates reasonably, it is equivalent to lending Xia Yu 100 million in cash, but it has made a business of 1.9 billion. HSBC's conundrum, and it can profit in several directions.

If this is spread, other banks will not know, and Standard Chartered Bank will definitely be envious.

However, Standard Chartered Bank can't be envious if it wants to. This kind of thing can be done by HSBC in Hong Kong. This is to make money by comprehensive strength.

Xia Yu knew this, so he was confident that Shen Bi would do it.

He also corrected his mentality. Although HSBC can definitely make a lot of money, it is enough for him to think that he will not suffer any losses.

What's more, he didn't suffer at all, and he took a billion-dollar loan, but he got three favorite companies and 100 million Hong Kong dollars. How to make money!

There is a win-win business in this world!
