Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

Three weeks passed and Hutchison Whampoa had not made any substantial progress in the share swap, and some Hutchison Whampoa directors began to put pressure on Niu Pikin.

"Mr. Niu Bijian, I am not questioning you, but this long-term consumption will also have a certain impact on the share price of our Hutchison Whampoa." A director of the British Crown Prince said.

"Don't worry, this matter will be over in a month at the latest, and I will be able to show you my results soon."

"I hope so!"

Originally according to Niu Bijian's plan, they would gradually consume Zhou Xinian's funds bit by bit. Within a few months, the other party would definitely not have enough funds to compete with them for the land.

But the constant urging of these shareholders also put Niu Bijian under certain pressure.

"It seems that we have no choice but to start spending money in advance." Niu Bijian whispered.

If he were given a few more months to start this plan, the funds consumed would definitely be much less.

Niu Bijian called a group of senior managers of the country's first-class management to discuss specific money-burning operations.

Soon a group of people discussed and came up with a plan.

They will give shares to shareholders who have invested in them at a ratio of 1:5.

This time, Hong Kong Land is giving away real money! Although it is not a direct gift of money, these shares can be sold directly without any conditions.

It has to be said that this move by Swire is indeed powerful. Many shareholders of the dairy company who are still hesitant have begun to waver.

Within just one week, Swire Properties had acquired 36% of the shares of the dairy company.

At the newsstand at No. 3 Taiping Street.

A group of people started discussing around the newsstand.

“Hey, do you think this milk company will not be able to hold on? Swire Properties has already acquired 36% of the shares.” said a bald uncle.

"I don't think it will work. Otherwise, how could the Hong Kong Land acquire so many shares? If the Hong Kong Land acquires 15% of the shares, the owner of the milk company will have to change."

Another uncle retorted: "I think Sir Zhou can hold on! Didn't you see that the conditions offered by Hong Kong Land were so good, but he only got 36% of the shares. Doesn't this show that there are still many shareholders who believe in Sir Zhou?"

"Indeed, Sir Zhou was appointed Justice of the Peace by the Queen herself. I believe he can handle it." A young man said in an admiring tone.

Obviously one who was influenced by last week's flower-growing newspaper.

Inside Zhou Xinian’s villa.

"Traitors! A bunch of traitors!"

Zhou Xinian cursed while weakly pulling the books off the desk.

After a moment, Zhou Xinian sighed, "Ah..."

Zhou Xinian really doesn’t have any better solution now because he has no money.

It is obvious that Jardine Matheson is now trying to compete with him to see who has given him the most money. However, although Zhou Xinian is full of honors, he does not have much funds available.

Swire is now considered a major shareholder of the Dairy Company. Even if I want to use the funds of the Dairy Company to give money to shareholders, I can't do it.

But Hong Kong Land is different. Hong Kong Land is a large company with a strong financial background, and it also has the big tree of Jardine Matheson. In addition, Hong Kong Land gives away its own stocks, so it basically does not use cash flow.

Zhou Xinian now has only two choices: either give shareholders more money, at least more than what Hong Kong Holdings gave, or wait for the dairy company to change hands.

However, not only does Zhou Xinian not have enough funds now, but if he really pays the money out of his own pocket, about one-third of the money will flow into the hands of Jardine Matheson, which makes Zhou Xinian even more uncomfortable.

"No! I founded the milk company, and I can't let Jardine Matheson take away the control just like that." Zhou Xinian suddenly became alert, picked up a piece of paper from the pile of papers that he had thrown on the ground, and started writing something.

Although Zhou Xinian has no money, he still has a mouth!

As long as Swire Properties cannot acquire more than 50% of the shares, the dairy company will still belong to them.

"Yes! There are still many shareholders who have not sold. I still have a chance. As long as I can convince them, I can still win!" Zhou Xinian muttered to himself while writing something on paper.

More than ten minutes later, Zhou Xinian put down his pen, looked at the article he had written, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although Zhou Xinian is poor, he has talent and personal charm. I believe that after reading this article, those shareholders will definitely stand on his side.

Zhou Xinian called the housekeeper in and ordered, "Go and deliver this article to the editors-in-chief of Zhonghua Daily, Ming Pao, and Sing Tao Daily, and ask them to report it tomorrow."

"Okay, sir." After the butler received the paper handed over by Zhou Xinian, he first found a few people with good handwriting in the villa and asked them to copy the contents of the paper twice. Then he got in the car and went to several newspapers to deliver the articles.

An hour later, Zhang Weiguo looked at the letter handed to him by the editor-in-chief and confidently judged: "It seems that Zhou Xinian has no funds left, so he can only start a war of words."

"Go ahead! Just publish it as normal." Zhang Weiguo handed the content he had read to the editor-in-chief.

Within the Hong Kong Land Group.

Niu Bijian sat in the office with a good look on his face, enjoying the massage from his secretary.

"Xiao Lin! You have a really good technique!"

Niu Bijian is in a really good mood now. So far, their real estate company has purchased 36.2% of the shares of the Dairy Company. Niu Bijian believes that in a few days, the Dairy Company will belong to them.

The next day, inside the Jardine Matheson Company.

Niu Bijian looked at today's newspaper and said disdainfully: "I guess this old guy Zhou Xinian has no money, so he started playing the emotional card."

"Humph, naive old fellow!"

"Shareholders will eventually choose our land!"

Niu Bijian put the newspaper aside, his lips curled up, and he felt indescribably happy.

Zhou Xinian is already powerless to save the situation!

At the newsstands, many stock investors also realized that Zhou Xinian was not far from failure.

Before, Zhou Xinian could give them dividends, but what about now?

Feelings? Belief? Title? Justice of the Peace?

Does it have anything to do with them?

No one buys milk company stocks unless they are trying to make money. Apart from making money, everything else is empty talk.

A week later, Hong Kong Land announced that it had acquired 41% of the shares of Dairy Farm.

Zhou Xinian had no choice but to keep cursing Jardine Matheson in the newspapers.

Then, just when the Jardine Matheson Group thought they had secured victory, they suddenly found that they were unable to make the acquisition.

There are no more shares available for them to exchange on the market.
