The charter king did not expect that after learning that Xu Xiangqian had nothing to do with him, Newbijian would actually allow him to acquire Hutchison Whampoa shares.
It’s a pity that Newbijian can only allow him alone and will not allow a second person to make large-scale acquisitions.
Even if the second person has nothing to do with you.
It was for this reason that the ship charter king set his sights on Xu Xiangqian.
Seeing Xu Xiangqian remain silent, the charter king smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you don't have to worry about your own interests being harmed. As long as you agree to help, we can sign the contract now. No matter when you want to sell the stock, I can take it over. 600 million in cash, all in one lump sum."
The reasonable share price of Hutchison Whampoa was around 50 yuan, and Xu Xiangqian's purchase price was about 40 yuan.
Now the charter king wants to buy shares from him at a price of eighty, which is really sincere.
Xu Xiangqian really couldn't help but be moved.
You have to know that this time he and Li Xu only put out 30 million in capital, which means that once they sell the stocks, they can make a huge profit of 570 million.
Even after deducting taxes, he still got more than 100 million yuan.
More importantly, he felt that even if the charter king and Newbigin rushed to buy stocks like crazy, the stock price would not reach 80.
However, without Li Xu's consent, no matter how tempted Xu Xiangqian was, he didn't dare to agree on his own.
Out of urgency, Xu Xiangqian turned his head again quietly.
He wanted to see if Li Xu had given any instructions.
The charter king and his second son-in-law were waiting for his answer, so they naturally looked at him intently.
So his actions were seen by both of them.
Li Xu noticed the changes in their expressions, sighed secretly, and thought to himself, how stupid they were.
He knew very well that he could no longer hide his identity and it was only a matter of time before he was exposed.
Thinking of this, Li Xu stopped being silent and said thoughtfully, "Mr. Bao, we can help you buy the stocks, but we need to discuss the price you offer."
Li Xu's sudden voice startled Xu Xiangqian and Li Chen.
The boat charterer was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "I never thought you were the one who really made the decision."
"Mr. Bao, I hope you will forgive me for my impoliteness."
Li Xu said this in Mandarin.
He believed that the charter king would know the reason why he concealed his identity as soon as he heard it.
As expected, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the charterer looked astonished. "Mr. Li, are you from the mainland?"
"Um."
After receiving the confirmation, the boat charter king said nothing more and returned to the topic, "Mr. Li, you just said that the price needs to be negotiated again. Are you not satisfied with the number I gave you?"
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, I just want to make sure my interests aren't harmed."
"If you're concerned and worried about loopholes in the contract, you can ask a lawyer to review it."
Li Xu shook his head. "Mr. Bao, you misunderstood. I'm worried that something unexpected might happen and the stock price might exceed the figure you gave me."
The charter king laughed immediately and said, "You are just not satisfied with the number I gave you."
After laughing, he asked, "Mr. Li, what price do you think is appropriate?"
"I don't know either."
"You want me to make the bid?"
"No need to make an offer, just add a clause to the contract: if the stock price exceeds 80 during the transaction, you can pay me the market price."
As Bao Chuanwang pondered, his fingers tapped the table subconsciously.
After a long while, he finally stopped what he was doing and said slowly, "Mr. Li, are you so sure?"
"If you ask me that, I can only say that I'm quite confident."
"Can you tell me?"
Li Xu smiled and said, "If I were Newbijian, even if I really had to give up Wharf Holdings, I would still tear off a piece of your flesh."
Except for Li Chen, the other four people in the room knew very well that Xu Xiangqian helped Bao Chuanwang to acquire stocks. Shen Bi could hide it for a while, but he could not hide it forever.
In order to ensure victory, the charter king must hold 49% of the shares.
You should know that currently, Jardine Matheson and Charter King hold more than 40% of the shares, and there are many small shareholders who hold more than 0.1% of the shares. This means that even if all the stocks circulating in the market are acquired, Charter King’s shares may not reach this number.
In the end, the charter king could only acquire the company from small shareholders.
In this way, the matter can no longer be concealed.
Besides, Newbijian is not a fool. How could he not be suspicious when Xu Xiangqian kept buying stocks?
If we can't get accurate information from Shen Bi, can't we get it from the exchange staff?
As long as he is willing to pay a sum of money or a high-paying job, he can get the news.
By that time, no matter where Xu Xiangqian got the funds, Newbijian would not continue to let him go and would definitely join the buying rush.
Compared with the charter king who has the upper hand, he will definitely lose if he doesn't use ruthless tactics.
What is a ruthless move?
He uses sky-high prices to buy stocks and attract small shareholders and retail investors to sell their stocks to him. This is a ruthless move.
At this time, the charter king has only two choices: one is to buy it at a higher price, and the other is to give up Hutchison Whampoa.
However, there was no way he would give up.
Hutchison Whampoa was very important to him. If he gave it up, his strategy of going ashore would fail.
So he had no choice but to buy it at a higher price.
In this case, even if you win, you will have to pay a huge price.
The charter ship king has been working in the business world for decades, so he can naturally think of what Li Xu can think of.
He asked Li Xu what he thought, actually he wanted to see if he thought the same as him.
