章節 1007: Chapter 1007: 970 million!
"How do we open it?'
'First hit, then open, and then hit again after opening!'
Xia Yu said with a smile, and in the plan he had just thought of during the twenty-odd minutes of waiting, these words were enough to run through the entire plan and were the core purpose of the action.
Wang Qi frowned, analysing what the chairman was planning to do.
Is it going short?
But if it is short selling, then the shares of each listed company in the Swire Group will fall, which will benefit the Shiyahuai family. This is contrary to the purpose of acquiring each company in the Swire Group.
If it is not short selling, then what should be done?
Unable to think of an answer, Wang Qi asked, 'Chairman, does the plan to hunt the Swire Group need to be adjusted?'
Xia Yu said with a faint smile, 'The second half of the original plan needs to be adjusted, and the first half will proceed as usual.'
'In addition, supplement and expand the original plan.'
Wang Qi let out a sigh of relief. He had worked very hard on the previous tasks, and fortunately they did not have to be scrapped.
'Okay, you don't need to waste your brainpower guessing, let me tell you the outline of the plan.'
Then Xia Yu began to talk, and Wang Qi and Liu Tianci listened attentively. The longer they listened, the brighter their eyes became.
After more than an hour...
Liu Tianci and Wang Qi added some personal suggestions to Xia Yu's plan, and Xia Yu adopted and incorporated them into the plan as appropriate, and a more complete overall plan emerged.
Xia Yu said to the two men with a serious face, 'Tianci, Wang Qi, these are the general directions of the plan, the specific operations are not fixed, act according to the situation, and if there are uncontrollable changes, report to me at any time.'
'Understood!'
'Yes!'
Liu Tianci and Wang Qi answered in succession.
Xia Yu nodded slightly, then looked at Wang Qi and once again instructed, 'The Song family can still hold out for a while, but during this short period of time, we must first take down Taikoo Airlines. We can't let them delay any longer. If necessary, you can contact Wei Li at any time, and the two of you can act together.'
After hearing the plan just now, Wang Qi also knew that a delay would not be a good thing, so he nodded emphatically and said, 'Okay, I will speed up the progress.'
'Mm,'
Xia Yu looked at Liu Tianci again and commanded, 'Tianci, you also make adjustments immediately according to the plan I have described, and do enough preparation work to strive for more benefits later.'
'The Banking Association strongly supports HSBC and urges them to complete the interest rate hike as soon as possible.'
'Once the interest rate hike and the acquisition of Swire Pacific are both completed, it will be time to launch the plan. Don't drag your feet.'
'Don't worry, Chairman, I'll go and see President Liddell later to push for the implementation of the interest rate hike policy,' Liu Tianci replied.
...
Xia Yu did not notify Song Bo of this temporary reinforcement plan.
After all, he would do his best to fulfil his promise and Song Bo's request. For something like this, which held great opportunities, letting Song Bo know would do more harm than good.
That afternoon, the Jiuding Securities acquisition team went to Swire Pacific again.
Meanwhile, Wang Qi mobilised even more funds to pour into the stock market, not only acquiring the shares of companies related to the Swire group, but also other potential blue chip stocks.
The difference was that Wang Qi's actions were more covert this time around, with only a small portion being carried out directly under the name of the funds under Jiuding Securities. The vast majority of the funds were used to set up shell companies or anonymous accounts.
The buying of non-Swire blue chip stocks was very intense, while the buying of Swire blue chip stocks was less intense and relatively hidden.
As a result, even though the trading volume of Swire blue chip stocks increased, it barely kept up with the overall market trading volume, and was far less eye-catching than the trading volume of some other blue chip stocks, so it did not alert the Shi Yahuai family.
In the following days, the newspapers affiliated with Jiuding Newspaper Company focused on the dispute between the Shi Yahuai family and the Song family. After the heat was stirred up, other media followed suit and reported on it, causing a huge uproar. Both parties were under tremendous pressure, and the fight became even more intense.
The Shi Yahuai family kept suppressing the Song family. Two of the companies successfully convened an extraordinary board meeting, successfully diluting the Song family's equity and causing the Song family to suffer considerable losses.
The Song family is after all an old and powerful family in Xiangjiang, and they always have some hidden reserves. Song Bo, the old fox, is also quite skilled, constantly visiting various shareholders with connections, temporarily stabilising some of them through exchanges of benefits and promises, and even signing agreements with concert parties, so that the Shi Yahuai family does not have an all-round advantage. The Song family has not been swept away after all.
Seven days later, in the evening.
The mansion of the Shi Yahuai family.
'...I have approached many influential people and local consortia. Most of the informed parties want to take advantage of the situation and are offering very low prices, obviously hoping to make a quick buck and not confront Jiuding Securities head-on.'
'Even the parties that initially showed interest without knowing the details changed their minds after a few days, obviously asking around and backing down.'
After telling these things, Wade Shiyawai sighed with a worried expression and complained to his uncle Norman Shiyawai: 'Uncle, our plan should have been seen through by Jiuding Securities, and now we really can't hold out.'
'This afternoon, we had another negotiation with Jiuding Securities, and the process was very difficult. The representative of Jiuding Securities even said that the only way out for Swire Pacific was to be acquired by them. The negotiation came to the brink of collapse and finally ended in discord.'
'Less than an hour after Jiuding Securities left, I received a notice that Wei Li, in his capacity as chairman of Hong Kong Airport Ground Services, had called an extraordinary board meeting two days later.'
'If I'm not wrong, this time they want to dilute our stake in Hong Kong Airport Ground Services.'
At this point, Wade Shiyahuai felt extreme resentment and frustration, but he was powerless to stop it from happening.
The board of directors and shareholders' meeting of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Services are all controlled by Wei Er, and Swire Pacific Airlines can only submit to the situation. Whether it is round or flat depends entirely on Wei Er's mood.
He has done his best to delay things as per his uncle's request, and it has already been 20 days.
Norman Shi Yahui was silent for a long time, shaking his head and sighing, 'The Jiuding Consortium won't let us delay things anymore. There's no choice. Since things have come to this, let's just sell the company.'
'Once the dispute with the Jiuding Consortium is resolved, we can reduce our capital and focus our efforts on taking down the Song family.'
Wade Shiyahuai was silent for a long time, and then asked, 'Then, Uncle, should we take the initiative to approach Jiuding Securities?'
Norman Shiyahuai said with some reluctance, 'The board meeting of Hong Kong Airport Ground Services is in two days, and Jiuding Securities will definitely not take the initiative to approach us in the next two days. Instead of waiting for our interests to be encroached upon, we might as well lower our heads and contact them.'
'At this point, we've already lost face in front of the Jiuding consortium, so it doesn't matter if we lose a little more.'
'Even if we take the initiative to negotiate with them, we will lose some interests, but the losses will be relatively smaller.'
Wade Shiyahuai nodded and didn't say anything else.
For a while, the living room was quiet, and the sound of the katydids outside the house seemed so loud.
The next afternoon, Swire Pacific Airlines took the initiative to contact Jiuding Securities and requested a new round of negotiations.
This time, the atmosphere of the negotiations was quite intense, but it was always kept within an appropriate range. Jiuding Securities also exercised restraint, because Wade Shiyahuai did not prevaricate in the negotiations any more, and did not insist on one price.
As the negotiations continued, the two sides' offers gradually converged.
At 4:00 p.m., the two sides finally reached an agreement.
Perhaps it was because of the threat of Jiuding Industrial Group's intervention, Norman Shih Yawei still could not hold onto the bottom line that his uncle had explained to him last month, and the price fell below 1 billion Hong Kong dollars!
Jiuding Securities acquired Swire Pacific at a price of 970 million Hong Kong dollars!
It took nearly three months, from the beginning in April to the end in mid-July, but the battle for Cathay Pacific Airways was finally won!
Wang Qi notified Wei Li immediately, and the two of them went to the Jiuding Building together to report the good news to Chairman Xia Yu!
