Chapter 172 shocked Xiangjiang, Mr. Lin crushed the British capital!

Weeks passed, and Lin Fei sat in his luxurious office again, this time with a satisfied smile on his face.

He had just learned that through a partnership with Mr. Zhou and a series of "quietly-implemented" acquisitions, he now held more than 10 percent of the shares in Jardine Matheson.

"Feilong Group's shareholding in Jardine Matheson has exceeded 10%?"

Qiao Jiakang couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Lin Fei smiled and shook his head: "This is a strategic investment, we can't show too much." "

Qiao Jiakang understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "In other words, we have a bigger chess game next?"

Lin Fei said indifferently: "Of course." "

These days, Lin Fei has been gradually increasing his holdings in Jardine Matheson through "third parties" and some "complex financial derivatives".

All of these have been carefully designed and laid out so as not to alarm Jardine Matheson.

Tang Wenzhe told me that our algorithmic model predicts that Jardine Matheson is likely to recapitalize in the next quarter. "

"Well, that gives us a strategic window. "

A hint of sharpness flashed in Lin Fei's eyes.

At this moment, Zhou Lu walked in, holding a report in his hand: "Boss, Jardine Matheson seems to have noticed something, they have been checking the shareholding structure recently. "

Lin Fei took the report and skimmed it: "Well, it seems that their risk control department has finally felt some changes. "

Qiao Jiakang asked with concern: "Then what should we do next?"

"Keep going as planned. "

Lin Fei said calmly: "It's okay for them to understand that we are here, the key is not to let them know what our purpose is." "

"Understood. "

Qiao Jiakang nodded.

Lin Fei put down the report and took a deep breath: "Let Shao Jiahui pay close attention to the stock price fluctuations and capital flows of Jardine Matheson, and report it immediately if there is any abnormality." "

"Okay, let's do it right away. "

Qiao Jiakang stood up and prepared to leave.

Under the covert actions of Feilong Group, Lin Fei finally contacted 513 to several important shareholders of Hongkong Land.

Each of these shareholders has their own plans, some expect the share price to rise, while others want to take the opportunity to change jobs or careers.

But what they all have in common is that they all fancy the competition between Feilong Group and Jardine Matheson, intending to "sell at both ends" and reap more benefits by playing with both sides.

One shareholder met with representatives of the Feilong Group several times, each time delving into "market capitalization assessments" and "equity liquidity".

At the same time, he pretended to be very interested in the corporate culture and development direction of Feilong Group.

But he also has constant contact with Jardine Matheson, and from time to time leaks "inside information" about the possibility of large-scale acquisitions by the Feilong Group.

Another shareholder was even more shrewd, and while he was in contact with the Flying Dragon Group, he also quietly began to sell individual small shares on the "secondary market", secretly testing the reaction of the Flying Dragon Group and Jardine Matheson.

After confirming that the two were indeed competing for Hongkong Land, he took the initiative to get in touch with representatives of Jardine Matheson.

They said that their own shares are likely to become an important "chess piece" in the framework of "diversified investment".

Not only the two major shareholders, but in a high-end private club in Xiangjiang, several middle-aged men sat at a large round table, enjoying high-end tobacco and expensive whiskey.

"I heard that the stock price of Jardine Matheson has fluctuated a little recently, is there any big move?"

"Oh, do you mean the unidentified majority shareholder?"

"It's him. I think this is a good opportunity, and Hongkong Land is now facing the issue of recapitalization. Another shareholder added.

Mr. Chen took a sip of whisky and said with a smile: "Then what should we do? Do we fully support Jardine Matheson, or do we consider this unidentified major shareholder?"

Mr. Li smiled: "I think, why not sell some benefits on both sides like those two major shareholders? "

"You mean two-way operation?"

"Exactly. "

At the headquarters of the Feilong Group, Lin Fei received an urgent report from Qiao Jiakang (AHAC).

"Recently, several retail shareholders of Jardine Matheson have suddenly increased their trading volume, and they seem to be negotiating with us and Jardine Matheson. "

"Well, it looks like they want to sell it both ways. "

Lin Fei pondered for a moment: "If we do this, it will not only increase the cost of our acquisition, but also may expose our intentions. "

"That's true. "

A hint of coldness flashed in Lin Fei's eyes: "Speed up the pace of our acquisitions and strive to complete the major acquisitions before Jardine Matheson takes any defensive measures." "

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away. "

At the headquarters of Jardine Matheson, an analyst ran into the general manager's office.

"Guys, there's a trend lately that strikes me as a little off. Hongkong Land's shareholding structure seems to be quietly changing. "

"Let's be specific. "

A senior manager at Jardine Matheson motioned for him to continue.

"Over the past few weeks, there is an unidentified fund that has been gradually increasing its stake in Hongkong Land.

While we haven't touched any threshold for disclosure yet, I think we should keep a close eye on this development. "

The senior manager frowned: "Okay, then let's take a wait-and-see attitude for the time being and see what happens next for this unknown fund." "

The financial community in Hong Kong is like a surging chessboard, and everyone is cautiously fiddling with their own chess pieces.

But when Lin Fei waved his hand, everything became no longer simple.

After learning that Jardine Matheson was aware, Lin Fei decided to take a go.

He said to Zhou Lu, who was preparing documents: "Zhou Lu, make arrangements, tomorrow I will meet with the general managers of various subsidiaries, especially Lei Chao and Shao Jiahui." "

Zhou Lu immediately responded: "Understood, boss." "

In the conference room of the Feilong Group, the general managers of the subsidiaries arrived on time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jardine Matheson has begun to take notice of our actions against Hongkong Land, and it's time for them to see the power of the Wyvern. "

Lei Chao spoke: "Feilong Development Bank can provide the necessary liquidity support for this operation. "

Shao Jiahui added: "Feilong Securities has already started the initial layout of the securities market, and once we receive the order, we can attack quickly. "

"Good, let's talk about tactics. "

Lin Fei pulled out a piece of paper detailing several options, including implicit takeovers through "third-party institutions", "leveraged buyouts" to reduce capital tie-up, and partnering with offshore funds to share risks.

On the other side, Jardine Matheson is also closely monitoring the situation. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lin Fei obviously started to make a big move. "

"So should we adopt a hedging strategy to deal with it?"

"No, let him come. We at Jardine Matheson are not vegetarians. If he wants to play the capital game, then let him see what we are capable of. "

Niu Bijian sat in the luxurious conference room of Jardine Matheson, his face grim.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Feilong Group has just started to buy shares on a large scale of Hongkong Land Group, obviously trying to force us to make a move. This time, we must teach Lin Fei a lesson. "

"Mr. Niu, what do you think?"

"The strategy of buying back shares. This stabilizes the stock price and protects our long-term interests. "

At the headquarters of Feilong Group, Shao Jiahui walked into Lin Fei's office: "Boss, Jardine Matheson has started a share repurchase. "

"Hmph, it's an old fox. "

A sneer rose at the corner of Lin Fei's mouth. []

Niu Bijian held the phone in one hand and flipped through the latest market report that was about to be faxed in the other.

"Immediately notify the trading department, use our spare funds, and do a hedge to ensure that we do not lose money under any circumstances. "

Subsequently, Jardine Matheson began to use a series of complex financial instruments, including derivatives trading, hedging and leveraged buyouts.

For a time, Hongkong Land's share price showed an upward trend.

"It seems that they have not only made share buybacks, but also used other financial derivatives. "

Qiao Jiakang analyzes the latest stock market dynamics.

"Now it's interesting. "

Lin Fei smiled slightly: "Let Jardine Matheson take a look at the confidence of our Feilong Group." "

Niu Bijian stood in front of the large window of the office, his eyes grim.

"Lin Fei, if you think you can buy Hongkong Group, then you are too young. Jardine Matheson is not a lamb to be slaughtered. "

He turned and sat down and dialed a phone call.

"Start the second wave of operations and release some market information to let investors see the potential of Hongkong Land and further push up the stock price. "

"Understood, Mr. Niu. "

There was an immediate response on the other end of the phone.

Jardine Matheson then began to release a series of positive information about the future development of Hongkong Land through the media, and even invited several well-known economists to stand on the stage.

The stock price continues to rise.

In the high-level conference room of Feilong Group, Lin Fei looked at the large screen in front of him, which displayed a real-time chart of Hongkong Land's stock price.

"It's a zero-sum game with only winners and losers. "

Lin Fei turned his head to look at Qiao Jiakang: "However, we have pushed the stock price up through synthetic trading and market operations.

Take advantage of some information asymmetry to induce other investors to join in and further increase the stock price. "

Qiao Jiakang responded with a smile: "This is manipulative trading, coupled with Jardine Matheson's share buyback and hedging strategy, which has made the whole market pay attention to Hongkong Land, which in turn has exacerbated the rise in stock prices." "

At the same time, in the conference room of Jardine Matheson, Niu Bijian was also observing the dynamics of the stock market.

"We have succeeded in creating a top-down market mentality that has made more small investors willing to buy Hongkong Land shares. "

"We used strategic equity investments, as well as building a bullish outlook by releasing information in favour of Hongkong Land," he told the CFO. "

The CFO nodded in agreement: "Yes, we have also leveraged capital market operations to obtain liquidity in a variety of ways to support our buyback program.

It's all a high-level financial project. "

In the office of Feilong Group, Lei Chao was reporting the progress in front of Lin Fei.

"Boss, the plans for margin financing and private placement are ready. "

"The stock price has now soared from $168 to $200 a share, which means that the company's market value has increased significantly.

This will be of great help to us in the next step of mergers and acquisitions and asset restructuring. "

Lin Fei stared intently at the blackboard in front of him.

There are two numbers written on the blackboard: Jardine 28% and Wyvern 24%.

"Jardine Matheson ended up holding 28% of Hongkong Land, 4 percentage points more than us. "

Lin Fei smiled, picked up the chalk, drew a horizontal line on the blackboard, and then said, "This is just the result of the first round." Hongkong Land's share price has risen, which is exactly what I want. "

"To your liking?"

"There are two direct effects of rising stock prices, one is that it raises the barrier to entry for other potential acquirers, and the other is that the cost of capital rises due to higher share prices.

For Jardine Matheson, to maintain this equity ratio, they need more money to cover the cost of debt. "

Lei Chao suddenly understood: "It means that although they have the upper hand, they have actually added a burden to themselves." "

"Exactly. The high stock price also increases the risk of their subsequent operations, and if the stock price fluctuates, they may face huge losses due to leverage. "

"So what should we do next?"

"It's an option to go ahead and buy shares, but we can wait and let them suffer the consequences.

At the same time, I have already started to plan the next step of mergers and acquisitions and restructuring. "

Niu Bijian sits in a luxurious office at Jardine Matheson, opposite a financial advisor.

"Now we hold 28% of the shares, and Feilong Group only has 24%, which gives us an advantage. "

"Yes, but this high stock price also brings us a certain amount of risk.

If we need financing, the share price of up to HK$200 will increase the cost of capital. "

"Well, I understand. "。
