After the news that the kaiserk family withdrew from Jardine and its status was replaced by land, it was not enough to describe it by shaking the Xiangjiang River.
After all, as a cousin of Jardine's founder William Jardine, the kaiserk family has controlled Jardine's for more than a century. At this time, it's really decisive to click and quit. It really responds to the sentence that business interests are paramount, and nothing can't be abandoned and negotiated.
There is no lack of ridicule in media reports. The kaiserk family's withdrawal from Jardine's should be a satisfactory result. From the leaked Jardine's top secret plan to run away, the kaiserk family has a guilty conscience and has already retreated. Since they don't miss Xiangjiang, go away.
At the same time, some well-informed people pointed out that the kaiserk family would not be willing to have such a big family business. It is indeed the top secret plan of Jardine's running. Therefore, the media have made full use of their power and various reports came on stage, "Sir Gao's mediation has been frustrated", "the leaders of the four consortia don't buy it", "the cup falling in the conference room is the number", "Jardine's future is still uncertain"
Seeing these reports, Shen Bi, who is a strategic figure in the circle of British interest groups in the Far East, is secretly happy. Chinese capital is not monolithic. Gao Xian can't achieve success as soon as he gets out of the mountain. Why should we be embarrassed?
The reporters continued to keep a close eye on the whereabouts of Gao Xian, Li Bancheng, Zheng Yutong, Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji. They saw that the next day, five people went to the golf course; On the third day, five people went to sea on a yacht
Obviously, this is a negotiation while contacting feelings. It's really hard!
Just as more and more voices believe that the possibility of the success of Sir Gao's mediation is getting smaller and smaller, the leaders of the four major consortia are bound to win Jardine, land is about to launch a counter stock repurchase plan, and even the Far East British interest groups, who are watching the fire from the shore, are not in the mood to make disasters
The situation has reversed!
On the 12th day after the four consortia issued a comprehensive takeover offer to Jardine's shareholders, Li Bancheng announced on behalf of the four consortia alliance that the comprehensive takeover was terminated and reached a Jardine's share repurchase agreement with land. The Jardine's shares held by the four consortia were purchased by land, even those registered for sale and not yet settled, as long as they were willing, Land can also be sold on the same terms.
It seems that Sir Gao's mediation has finally succeeded.
Reporters quickly asked about the specific contents of the four consortia and land purchase transactions.
As a result, Li Bancheng only replied that it was inconvenient for him to confide, let alone that he would not confide. Zheng Yutong, Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji also kept their mouth shut and received their wages from Sir Gao. They made a lot of money quietly. Isn't it good?
Seeing the complacency of the leaders of the four consortia, the media naturally speculated that in order to make the four consortia alliance give up the acquisition plan, land must have paid a high price.
Far East British interest groups don't care how much blood land has paid for Jardine. This situation is exactly what they want to see. Jardine's assets have not fallen into the hands of the four major consortia of Xiangjiang Chinese capital. Next, talk to land about how to share this super big cake.
Ironically, the British interest groups in the Far East did not laugh for long.
Land announced that, what, accidentally, more than 75% of the Jardine's shares in hand. According to the regulations of Xiangjiang listed companies, we should not sell excess shares, start privatization, delisting and delisting. We decided that Jardine's privatization should be delisted. There are still shareholders of Jardine's shares in hand. We should go to the happy securities business department to handle the delivery procedures as soon as possible. The price is very reasonable, HK $100 per share in cash.
Hearing this news, Xiangjiang shook again. Jardine's huge group unknowingly came to the step of privatization and delisting? It's incredible. The whole process is almost imperceptible!
British interest groups in the Far East are in a bit of a hurry. After Jardine's privatization, land can do whatever it wants. It's difficult for outsiders to find an opportunity to intervene. What kind of business!
Henry kaiserk, who is hard to give up and has been paying attention to the harmonious dynamics, sneered with schadenfreude after noticing the rush of British interest groups in the Far East. This is like Gao Xian's style. When the acquisition war of the milk company went on to the end, it was not that the milk company was privatized. People closed the door and did whatever they wanted!
