We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

The next day, while major newspapers were still competing for sales with Luo Nianzhong's various news, the front page headline of Southeast Daily successfully attracted the attention of all Hong Kong citizens.

"The Shipping King and Tycoon Law Officially Launched the Acquisition of Wharf"

The newspaper introduced that the chartering king and Luo Nianzhong formed a new company and had acquired 40% of Wharf's shares. And it will acquire 100 million shares of Wharf at a price of HK$1100 per share, which can be traded on all major stock exchanges in Hong Kong.

This news was thrown into the Hong Kong stock market like a bomb. Wharf's stock price was like a rocket. From yesterday's closing price of 62 yuan, it rose to 87 Hong Kong dollars in less than half an hour. There is a price but no market. I believe it is only a matter of time before the acquisition price suddenly reaches HK$100.

This was also Luo Nianzhong's idea. He didn't want to drag out this acquisition battle for nearly two years like he did in his previous life. The proposed acquisition at a price of HK$100 per share was because they did not want to leave time for Jardine to prepare funds.

Besides, because of the previous share purchase price issue, even if 11 million shares of Wharf are purchased for 1100 billion Hong Kong dollars now, the average price is less than 44 Hong Kong dollars.

But Jardine is different. If they don't want to lose Wharf, they need more stocks. Not to mention more funds, it is now difficult for them to quickly prepare 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

On the other hand, the chips held by Luo Nianzhong and the others are also different now. The number of stocks in the hands of the previous charter king was less than 30%. Invisibly, he bought a lot of time for Yihe, but it is different now. Luo Nianzhong obviously just wants to beat him to death with a stick, and has no intention of adding any foreplay or shouting with you.

In the office of Jardine Matheson, Newbijian was reporting the situation to Henry Keswick, the major shareholder of Jardine Matheson. As he spoke, his face was full of embarrassment.

Yesterday, he swore that everything was fine and under his control. Who would have thought that things would take a turn for the worse today.

"How much capital can the company mobilize now?" The voice coming from the phone was very low, and you could hear anger mixed in the tone.

"Less than 300 million."

"What about HSBC? How much money did they promise to lend us? There are other banks."

"5 million, this is already the maximum amount Shen Bi can give us. He only agreed after the Governor came forward to mediate. As for other banks, the total will not exceed 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and the money will not arrive immediately." .

"HSBC is on the other side?" Five hundred million Hong Kong dollars, the maximum authority, sounds so nonsense.

"No, but it's true that they don't like us."

There was silence for a moment on the phone, "Raise the offer. I will find a way to raise part of the funds in England, but as you know, it will take time to reach the Hong Kong account."

Newbijian didn't speak. After a while, he said as if he had lost time and had the strength to say, "Our chances of winning are very small. We have already suffered huge investment losses outside Hong Kong Island, if we borrow so much debt."

He didn't need to tell Keswick about what happened next. Once Luo Nianzhong and the others completed their control, the share price of Wharf would be cut in half. The more stocks they bought at this time, the greater the losses would be.

After Jardine lost Wharf, this debt would only end up stealing the chicken but not losing the rice. Jardine's stock plummeted, and it was even possible that it would face bankruptcy.

Newbijian knew that he should not say such things, because now he is the taipan of Jardine, and all this can be said to be caused by him. But as a professional manager, he has his own persistence and should remind major shareholders of the consequences of doing so.

Regarding his suggestion, Keswick, who was far away in England, roared on the phone, "Then what do you want me to do? Give up Wharf? Just surrender without any resistance? Who is all this because of?"

There was silence again on the phone. Perhaps because Keswick felt calmer, Newbijian said, "Now we are just tearing down the stakes to hunt the wolf. We are not even sure we can repel the wolf in front of us."

"If all the wooden piles are removed and a large area of ​​sheep is exposed, then after the calm, more wolves will be waiting for us."

"This will be a disgrace to the Keswick family and we will become a joke to the whole of Britain." Keswick's voice was very soft. He didn't know whether he was talking to Newbijian or mumbling to himself. After speaking, he hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Niubijian didn't feel any better and just slumped down in the chair. He knew that when this incident was over, he would basically be done with his position as the taipan at Jardine.

With such a huge stain on your career, it will be difficult to find a job in a big company in the future. In fact, he cannot be blamed for this matter. There are too many factions in the Jardine Matheson Group. Did no one in the company really find out that someone was secretly acquiring Wharf shares? Not necessarily, but no one thought it would develop to this point.

Now that such a big thing has happened, someone needs to take the blame. Except for him, Niubijian, no one else can.

After rubbing his temples and cheering up, Niubijian glanced at the executives in front of him and said slowly, "Send someone to negotiate with Global Shipping."

A group of senior executives left, and no one comforted him, making Newbijian feel that all his efforts were so ridiculous.

Yesterday, he asked the Hong Kong government and HSBC for help, trying to get the Hong Kong government to put pressure on the Wharf to save Wharf, but today he became the scapegoat.

For this reason, he had to work hard in front of the company that was riddled with holes, but the people behind him stabbed him in the back.

After standing up and looking around at everything in the office, Newbijian picked up a pen and paper and started writing on his desk.

One day later, at home on Deep Water Bay Road, Luo Nianzhong was preparing to go to Glory when the charter king called. After notifying him of Jardine's decision, Jardine sold 70% of its shares to Charter King for HK$23.7 per share, which was unexpected and reasonable for Luo Nianzhong.

Unexpectedly, he felt that Jardine Matheson, as the largest financial group in Hong Kong Island, should struggle. The direct surrender now would be too damaging to Jardine Matheson's prestige in Hong Kong Island. He believed that as soon as the news was announced, Jardine Matheson's stock price would fall. .

However, under the current situation, Jardine is basically helpless, and it is reasonable to choose to maximize profits. If Luo Nianzhong and the others gain control, it's not certain how much Jardine's shares will be worth once the Wharf is split.

No matter what, the result is developing in the direction that he is most satisfied with, and Luo Nianzhong smiles more during happy events.

Honor Company, I haven’t been here for a while, and the look here has changed again. The factory building across the road has been put into use. Now the monthly output of Honor's arcade machines can reach more than 40 units. If full-time overtime production is used, this production capacity can be increased.

Previous orders from Europe and the United States have been delivered one after another, but Luo Nianzhong still underestimated the love of people around the world for this game. Subsequent additional orders have allowed trucks to line up to two miles away at the entrance of Honor every day, and countless reporters come to report every day. Pomp and circumstance here.

Compared to Liang Jiadong, Robert and others who were surprised by the sales, Luo Nianzhong still understood. We must know that each of these three games will have more than 50 billion US dollars in revenue in later generations. Although those statistics are for a long time, it is still no problem to have billion US dollars in revenue in the early stage, right?

In addition, there is currently no competition from other games, and Luo Nianzhong believes that the profits created by these three games will definitely be higher than in the previous life.
