Chapter 807 End "Two Chapters in One"(1/2)
Compared to Land and Jardine, the Oriental Mandarin Hotel is nothing, but after Yang Chen split it up, Land's companies no longer have any subsidiaries to sell.
Simon Keswick looked at Yang Chen hesitantly, only to see him sitting leisurely on the sofa drinking tea, looking like he didn't care much.
Seeing this, Simon Keswick swallowed back what he said. The purpose of his trip was to negotiate peace with Yang Chen and end the feud between the two families.
Now that Yang Chen has relented and is no longer keeping an eye on the two companies, Jardine Matheson and Land, the concession is already huge. If he continues to push further, there may be a risk that the negotiation will collapse.
Simon Keswick gritted his teeth secretly, "Okay, I will leave the Oriental Mandarin Hotel to you, Yang Sheng."
"Except for the Oriental Mandarin Hotel, several other companies need to hold a Jardine Matheson Board of Directors meeting after I return to Xiangjiang to make a decision. But now there is no way to guarantee Yang Sheng."
If it were an ordinary company, there would be no need for such trouble, but Yang Chen chose the companies with the most value and potential. Even if he, Simon Keswick, represented the Keswick family, he would not be able to make decisions well.
Yang Chen knew that his move was ruthless and that the matter was beyond the scope of the other party's rights. However, he, Simon Keswick, could not make decisions on behalf of everyone.
Therefore, Yang Chen did not embarrass him and nodded directly: "Yes, as long as Yihe is willing to resell the shares of several companies to me, the misunderstanding between our two families will be wiped out."
"Misunderstanding" heard these two words popping out of Yang Chen's mouth. Simon Keswick's head was full of black lines, and he had the urge to curse.
Simon Keswick didn't take Yang Chen's words of write-off seriously. As a businessman, everything he does must put profit first.
Written promises may not be useful these days, let alone verbal ones.
However, the most important thing is to be able to temporarily stabilize Yang Chen's side and prevent the other party from causing trouble, so that he can reintegrate and take over the Jardine Group.
Who can say clearly what will happen next.
If there is a chance to trick Yang Chen, Simon Keswick will definitely take Yihe to take revenge.
Similarly, if Yang Chen is given another opportunity, he will give Yihe a hard blow, or even directly annex the other party, just like this time.
Just when Simon Keswick was about to get up and leave, Yang Chen suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Simon Keswick, Jardine should be short of funds now, right?"
Simon Keswick stood up and froze on the spot, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
If Jardine was not short of funds, would he have come all the way from Hong Kong?
This time, to put it nicely, it means to clear up the misunderstanding, but to put it worse, it means to bow your head and admit defeat. As a proud British man, Simon Keswick can do this, which is already a good thing.
Seeing Simon Keswick's face flushed and looking like he was holding back his anger, Yang Chen quickly explained: "Mr. Simon Keswick, please don't get me wrong. I just want to remind you that according to the information I have here,
The value of the shares of Jardine Matheson and Land is probably far higher than the market value of the companies I requested.
Now that the misunderstanding between our two families has been resolved, I will not choose to retain the shares in Jardine Matheson and Land, Mr. Simon Keswick needs to guarantee that you will accept all the shares held by me."
After listening to Yang Chen's explanation, Simon Keswick's expression slowly returned to normal, and then he asked: "How many shares does Yang Sheng have?"
"Hehe" Yang Chen smiled and did not answer Simon Keswick's question. He was not stupid. The two sides were currently fighting fiercely. How could he tell his story.
After Simon Keswick finished speaking, he realized that he had asked in vain. Although he and Yang Chen had reached an agreement, whether the matter would be finalized or not would have to be voted on by a show of hands by the directors of Yihe.
If the board of directors fails, the two companies will have to continue fighting until one party holds more than 50% of the shares.
Simon Keswick: "What did Yang Sheng think?"
Yang Chen: "Landlord owns many shops in good locations. I think Mr. Ximen Keswick will sell them to others next. In this case, why not transfer them to me."
Most of Land's shops are located in the most prosperous business districts, are numerous and expensive.
Simon Keswick simply agreed without any hesitation. Land will then fully collect its assets, and sooner or later those more valuable stores will be resold in exchange for funds.
This is not sold to anyone, and if Yang Chen takes over, Yihe can also obtain funds faster.
Finally, the problem was solved. Simon Keswick stood up and said: "Yang Sheng, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave first.
"Go slowly, I won't send you off." Yang Chen raised his tea cup without moving his buttocks, watching the Xie family's butler send Simon Keswick and his group away.
After Simon Keswick left, Yang Chen turned around and saw a pair of eyes staring directly at him. This person was none other than Lan Meiren.
"What are you watching? It's been so long and you still haven't seen enough?"
Lan Meiren lowered her head in embarrassment, her pretty face flushed, and she cursed secretly in her mind. After a while, she raised her head again and asked, "Boss, do you need to call General Manager Li and the others?"
"What call should I give them?" Yang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lan Meiren strangely.
"Just now, you are not the boss"
"What is it?"
"Boss, haven't you already agreed?"
Before Lan Meiren could finish her words, Yang Chen shook his head and interrupted: "What did I promise? Your boss, I didn't promise anything."
"..."
Seeing the stunned look on Lan Meiren's face, Yang Chen couldn't help but worry about her IQ.
"Let me ask you, who is the Taipan Wang of Yihe?"
"It's Niubi." Halfway through her words, Blue Beauty couldn't help but stop. Her big eyes blinked and her cute expression made people want to take a bite.
"It's Niubrigian, isn't it?"
Blue Beauty’s little head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Look, the current head of Yihe is still the chief executive of Niubijian. The one who left just now is just the successor of the other party. In other words, only when Niubijian steps down can he take over as director of Yihe.
The position of chairman of the bureau.”
"Whether what he promised just now will count will have to be determined after discussion with the directors of Yihe. It does not mean that if he agrees, the matter will be over."
After listening to Boss Yang's explanation, Lan Meiren looked suddenly enlightened, and then hesitantly said: "Then, boss, should we prepare to return to Xiangjiang next?"
"Why are you going back?" Yang Chen shook his head vigorously and said: "Your boss, if I go back at this time, I don't know how many people are waiting to beat me. I can't go back now."
Although he came to Thailand, he had not lost contact with Xue Yufei and the girls. He had received the news a long time ago. The old guys from the charter boat king were all eager to catch him and beat him up.
Although the actions of Zheng Haiquan and others did not cause Charter King and others too much loss, the impact on the environment was terrifying, especially for animals like humans, who especially like to follow suit.
If Yang Chen hadn't hid in Thailand, those old guys would definitely have gone to his house to block the door.
Even if he wants to go back now, he doesn't dare to go back. He can only wait for the Yihe gang to give in, or Zheng Haiquan and others to take over Yihe Matheson or Land, and use the power of the general trend to make people speechless.
Only then can he go back leisurely and leisurely.
Otherwise, he will be sprayed to death by a group of old guys with salt soda.
Yang Chen had a wry smile on his face, as if he had a headache, which made Lan Meiren want to laugh, but she smiled anyway. At this time, she consciously walked behind Yang Chen, put her hands on his head, and massaged him to relax him.
"Hmm..." Being massaged by Lan Meiren's small hands, Yang Chen's original headache and discomfort disappeared immediately.
After the massage, Lan Meiren asked curiously: "Boss, if Mr. Simon Keswick convinces all the directors of Jardine and Co., Ltd. after he goes back, we really have to agree to his conditions and no longer rob Jardine Matheson and Co., Ltd.
Have you purchased a piece of land?”
"Otherwise? What else do you want?"
Blue Beauty pouted her lips and kept moving her hands.
"Do you know how much debt Jardine Matheson owes now? How much debt does Land Land have?"
"I don't know." Lan Meiren moved her hands and said in a coquettish tone, "Boss, please tell me."
“Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just say that after the charter king robbed the Wharf a few years ago, Chairman Niubijian, the chief executive of Jardine Matheson, wanted to prevent the two holding companies of Jardine Matheson and Land from being remembered.
Immediately afterwards, a large-scale acquisition was launched to expand the market value of the two companies.
Take Land as an example. It is the most heavily indebted company in the entire Jardine Matheson Group. Its debt amount reaches nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its liabilities are almost equal to its market value."
"Such a company, even if we annex it, will still need to bear huge debts. Although your boss and I are not short of that money, many companies under Landmark are too complex and very troublesome to deal with."
"There are more than 100 companies in the entire Jardines Group, and Real Estate controls nearly half of them. With so many companies, just sending people to take them over is not a small number. Your boss and I don't have that many people to arrange them now."
"When doing business, the most important thing is to avoid being impatient. Let's eat slowly and slowly. When the opportunity comes again, it will be the same if we make trouble for them again. Do you understand?"
After Boss Yang explained it like this, Lan Meiren, who was originally confused, finally figured it out.
However, what she didn't know was that Yang Chen's thoughts were actually not like this at all.
No matter how much debt the real estate has, it doesn't matter to him. Once the real estate falls into his hands, those debts will not be a problem at all. With the strong cash flow in his hands, it will be easy to pay off the debt.
Furthermore, given his current situation, which bank would urge him to repay the loan?
Not to mention the debt of Landmark, which is tens of billions, even if it borrows another 10 billion, the bank will gladly send the money over.
This is the reality of society. It is easy for rich people to get loans, but it is extremely difficult for people without money.
As for the fact that Land owns too many holding companies and not so many people are responsible for them, that is even more nonsense.
It’s hard to find a toad with three legs. Isn’t it also hard to find a person with two legs?
After decades of development, there is not much in Xiangjiang, except for a handful of talented people. There are people for everyone, it’s up to you whether you want them or not.
The reason why Yang Chen was willing to give in this time was not because of anything else, but because the matter was too big.
One of them is the new richest man in China, and the other is a giant conglomerate that has been running rampant in Asia for hundreds of years. The collision of the two major forces, although the confrontation only lasted less than ten days, still caused a huge storm.
Previously, everyone's attention was on the Sino-British negotiations. With the conclusion of the Sino-British negotiations, everyone's focus will naturally be on the stock market and the two of them.
Originally, according to Yang Chen's idea, he was so well prepared that he could catch the other party off guard and end the dispute in the shortest possible time.
Unexpectedly, I bumped into a turtle shell and bumped into a bud. Obviously, after experiencing the seizure of Wharf, the Taipan Wang of Yihe learned enough lessons.
The entire Yihe was defended by the opponent just like Tietong. Even though it was caught off guard by Zheng Haiquan and others, it still remained calm and launched an effective counterattack.
To be continued...
