Urban area. Castle manor!
"Snapped!"
With a crisp and harsh explosion, an exquisite tea cup with a hint of age came into close contact with the marble floor and was instantly shattered into pieces!
In the main seat of the living room, Jazz's chest was rising and falling rapidly, and the cold expression on his face made everyone present feel scared.
Just now, Smith came back from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and brought back bad news. Their action to stop Li Yi failed.
The other party has successfully seized the controlling stake in the New Territories Warehousing Center. This largest terminal warehouse on Hong Kong Island has completely changed hands.
More importantly, Jardine Group, one of the most important members of the alliance, took the initiative to cooperate with the young man and prepared to sell its shares to the other party without consulting him.
Once that young man gets the shares from Jardine Matheson, the shares they hold in the New Territories Warehousing Center will reach an astonishing 70% or more. It will be almost impossible to take back the New Territories Warehouse from those people in the future. !
Faced with this situation, even Jazz, who had always kept his emotions secret, couldn't hold back.
After being furious, he stared at Powell, the head of Jardine Matheson Group, and said coldly: "I need an explanation!"
Powell was not timid because of Sir's anger, but said in a calm voice: "Mr. Sir, I need to be responsible to all the shareholders of the group. I wonder if this explanation satisfies you?"
"I'm very dissatisfied. Everyone in the league is working hard to deal with that young man, but you want to sell your shares to that young man. This is a betrayal of the league!" Jazz said almost word for word. said.
"betray?"
Then Powell said with a somewhat angry voice: "Mr. Sir, if we at Jardine betrayed the alliance, would we have invested 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in the previous gold blockade? If it hadn't been for your misjudgment in the previous action, which caused the members of the alliance to We have suffered heavy losses, and we will not lose completely in this battle for equity!"
"Powell, are you accusing me?" Jazz asked in a cold tone.
"No, I'm just stating a fact!"
Then his expression returned to its previous calmness, and he continued: "And the reason why I packaged and sold the shares in my hands to that young man was not all for our Jardine He, but more for the alliance!"
Jazz did not speak, but still stared at him coldly, his meaning was obvious.
“On the surface, this equity battle seems to be Xingchen Company targeting us at Jardine, but in fact it is a counterattack by Huazi Group against us. What can be expected is that the battle of New Territories is not the end; start!"
Then Powell continued: "According to the information we received, the Chinese have united. As expected, they will also attack our other companies, just like Hang Seng Bank and New Territories Warehouse before!"
"And after we suffered heavy losses one after another, almost all companies have encountered financial problems and are no longer able to stop the other party's attack!"
Jazz agreed with Powell's analysis. The expression on his face softened slightly, and then he said: "Keep talking!"
Powell was not pretentious and continued immediately: "The only way to stop the opponent's endless attacks is to consume a large amount of the opponent's funds. As long as the opponent does not have sufficient financial support, they will naturally not attack us again. The company is on the attack!”
Everyone present was a business elite, and they immediately understood what Powell meant.
Although Xingchen Company won a great victory in this battle for the equity of New Territory Warehouse, they also paid a huge price, especially the consumption of funds, which was even more serious.
If Jardine Group sells all its remaining shares in a package to the other party at this time, it will further consume the other party's funds. Under the circumstances, Xingchen Company will naturally be unable to launch an attack on their entire British-owned group.
Hearing this, everyone, including Jazz, fell silent.
Although they all knew that what Powell was thinking was certainly not that simple, it was undeniable that what he said made sense.
At this moment, Powell's voice rang out in the audience again: "Of course, if you feel that my decision is harmful to the interests of the alliance, as long as you can offer the same price of HK$110 per share as Star Company, , we at Jardine Matheson Group are willing to transfer the 21.8 million shares of New Territories Warehousing Center to you!"
Everyone present was silent again!
This is a huge sum of nearly 2.4 billion Hong Kong dollars. Let’s not say whether they can come up with it. Even if they can come up with it, who would have the courage to invest it in the current New Territories warehouse?
You must know that the stock price of the New Territories warehouse a few days ago was only more than 60 Hong Kong dollars per share, and now it has almost doubled.
No wonder Jardine Group lost, but it was still willing to cooperate with the other party because the price offered by the other party was so good!
The Jazz knew that they had to express something, otherwise it would not only alienate the Jardine Group, but also affect other people's confidence in the alliance.
"Powell, just do what you want on this matter and sign a contract with Xingchen Company as soon as possible!"
"No problem!" Powell said.
The knight was silent for a moment and said again: "Everyone, although I don't want to admit it, it is undeniable that this time we failed, miserably!"
"I admit that I underestimated the enemy too much and did not give our opponent enough understanding and attention. But that's the end of the matter. I will not give the enemy such an opportunity again in the future!"
Then, he continued: "I have good news for you. I have already contacted the family. Soon they will send people to support us, and they will also provide us with a large amount of funds."
After hearing this, everyone present could not help but feel a little excited.
As core members of the British-owned group, they all know how powerful the family behind Jazz is.
To be honest, if Jazz only relied on his own abilities and assets, it would be impossible for him to become the head of the British-owned group. There are many people who are more capable and powerful than him.
However, in the end, Jazz was able to become the talker of this huge business alliance because the family behind him was so powerful.
If that family is willing to take action, a small Xingchen Company will not be able to make any big waves.
"Mr. Sir, what should we do now?" Smith asked immediately.
"If those people from the Huazi Group have not taken the initiative to attack us, we should not have a direct conflict with them for the time being. The top priority is to ensure that the alliance members survive!"
Then Jazz said again: "Smith, please inform us to temporarily remove all measures to suppress Xingchen Company and Qinglong Society. The media and newspapers should also stop it!"
"What about the Hong Kong Governor's Office? Should their actions also stop?" Smith asked.
"Stop it. Before the people from the family arrive, it's not appropriate for us to have a head-on conflict with each other!" Jazz said with some frustration.
"Okay, after the meeting, I will go to the Hong Kong Governor's House and tell Mr. Hong Kong Governor what you want!" Smith said.
"Um!"
After hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little sad and helpless in their hearts.
Although Jazz just said that he would not embarrass Li Yi and others for the time being, everyone knew that they had really lost and had given up.
Otherwise, given Jazz's previous temper, he wouldn't be as forbearing as he is now!
Although it is cruel, this is reality!
