Mo Zhexuan took a deep drag on his cigar, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and explained with a slight smile on his lips:

"Hong Kong Land has been expanding rapidly in recent years. Everyone in Hong Kong has witnessed it. I just patiently investigated."

The professional investigation company only investigated part of the relevant information about the assets and liabilities of Hong Kong Land Development, and the total debt calculated was about HK$6.5 billion.

The debt is almost the same as that announced by Hong Kong Land Development, with only a few billion Hong Kong dollars more. It has to be said that the Jardine Matheson Group is hiding its secrets very deeply.

If Mo Zhexuan was not a reborn person, I am afraid that everyone in Hong Kong would be kept in the dark. The reason why he knew it so clearly.

Because in September of the second half of the year, after the Jardine Matheson Group failed to acquire China Gas Company, Hongkong Land's total debt could no longer be covered up.

Both Newby and Bowdoin were subsequently dismissed from their posts, and Simon Keswick of the Keswick family took over the shaky Jardine Matheson Group again.

"So you want to threaten Jardine Matheson?" Newbijian put down the teacup in his hand with a bang.

There was a murderous look in his two dark brown eyes as he stared intently at Mo Zhexuan's every move.

If looks could kill, Mo Zhexuan in front of him would have been left with nothing but corpse.

Mo Zhexuan was not frightened by this powerful aura. He calmly drank a sip of tea and said seriously:

"The truth will eventually come to light. Sooner or later, the debt problems saddled with Hong Kong Land will be exposed to the public. It is only a matter of time.

If Jardine Matheson were to go ahead with the acquisition of China Gas, it would not only take a lot of time but also require a huge amount of capital, which would inevitably further increase Hong Kong Land's total debt."

"If the Jardine Matheson Group wants to resolve its debt crisis now, the best way is to quickly sell off non-core assets to raise funds. If it waits until the debt has completely exploded and then tries to sell off assets to repay the debt, it will definitely be severely ripped off by Hong Kong's capital."

"I'll get straight to the point. Today, on behalf of Tianhai Renhe Co., Ltd., we'd like to acquire your 20% stake in China Gas Company, totaling 10 million shares, for a flat price of HK$1 billion. You might consider it!"

Now that the matter has been brought up, there is no need to haggle any further. I will directly quote the price and ask if you are willing to sell it. If not, I will make it public.

Don't blame me for being ruthless. The business world is like a battlefield. If you can't be friends, you are your enemy. Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.

Niubijian did not speak immediately, but silently smoked the cigar in his hand.

There was a hint of anger and unwillingness hidden in his dark brown eyes. When the cigar was almost burned to the end, he sighed deeply and said with a tired face:

"I can convince the board to agree, but the 20% stake must be calculated based on the trading halt price of China Gas, so the acquisition price must be HK$1.8 billion."

"No...! This price is too high. I'll add another 100 million Hong Kong dollars!" Mo Zhexuan immediately refused. The purchase price has reached 180 Hong Kong dollars per share, and he is not a sucker.

"Mr. Mo! Jardine Matheson doesn't have to sell you its shares in China Gas. I believe Li Ka-shing is also interested in my shares. I'll make my final offer: HK$1.6 billion. It's up to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Niu Bijian drank his tea with a relaxed expression, crossed his legs, and lay comfortably on the sofa.
