The 174th full acquisition!

Niu Bijian sat in the luxurious general manager's office of Jardine Matheson, holding a thick "financial statement" in his hand, his brows furrowed.

The office was extremely elegantly furnished, with an elaborate calligraphy and painting on the wall, and a carpet imported from Persia, but none of this made him feel good.

He flipped through the columns and columns again, and no matter how he looked at it, the results made him unhappy.

Jardine Matheson Bank has spent a lot of cash flow in response to the "stock war" of the Feilong Group, resulting in a sharp decline in "working capital".

"Damn, we're going to have a dangerous flow ratio like this. "

He said through gritted teeth.

He stood up, came to the window, and looked out of the glass window at the busy Xiangjiang city in the distance, and the pressure in his heart was like a mountain.

"I need to solve this problem of the capital chain, otherwise it will be bad if there is an insolvency. "

Eventually, he made the decision – to take out a loan.

This is the only way he can think of and the fastest way to solve the liquidity crisis.

Niu Bijian picked up the phone and dialed the bank's number.

"I'm Niu Bijian of Jardine Matheson.

There's something I'd like to discuss with you. "

"Oh, Mr. Niu, what are you doing?"

"I was straight to say, I want to apply for a loan. "

"Well, "280", you have to come to the bank for an interview for the specific situation.

Loans are not a small matter. "

"Understood, then I'll go over later. "

After hanging up the phone, Niu Bijian took a deep breath and felt a little less stressed.

"Now, our share price has been hit hard, and Hongkong Land's equity has gradually been eroded by Feilong Group. This is a serious problem and we must act now. "

"What are your plans?"

"I intend to increase my capital through external loans, on the one hand, to expand my business to reinvigorate our confidence, and on the other hand, to buy shares in Hongkong Land Group to strengthen our position. "

Jardine Matheson's financial arm, Niu Bijian and the chief financial officer are discussing the details.

"How much money do we need to raise?"

"I think I need at least 500 million Hong Kong dollars. I've gotten in touch with several banks, including Credit Suisse and JPMorgan Chase. "

"What about risk, how do you hedge risk?"

"We will use credit default swaps (CDS) to hedge risk and interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk. "

Credit Suisse Hong Kong Branch, Niu Bijian sat down with the bank's risk assessment team to negotiate.

"The conditions under which you need a loan are very strict, and we need to scrutinize your financial statements and balance sheet. "

"Of course, but I hope it all will be done soon. "

"So, what are the interest rates and terms of the loan?"

"I'm thinking about a 7% annual interest rate and a loan term of three years. At the same time, I would like to have the option of early repayment. "

"And what about guarantees?"

"We will use Jardine Matheson's equity interest in Hongkong Land as a guarantee, which will go to the bank in the event of default. "

After several days of review and negotiations, Jardine Matheson successfully raised a HK$500 million loan from Credit Suisse and JPMorgan Chase.

Lin Fei sat in the conference room of the headquarters of Feilong Group, with a subtle smile on his face.

He flipped through a "capital operation" plan spread out on the table, and secretly calculated the next steps in his heart.

At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and Mu Shili walked in.

"Phineas, I have some news that you might be interested in. "

Mu Shili said as he walked in front of Lin Fei.

"Oh?"

Lin Fei raised his head: "Let's talk about it." "

"I heard that Jardine Matheson has had liquidity problems recently, and Niu Bijian went to the bank for a loan. "

Mu Shili carefully observed Lin Fei's reaction.

Lin Fei smiled slightly: "Liquidity crisis, it seems that his debt ratio is not small." "

"Yes, his balance sheet must be ugly this time. "

"Well, that's enough.

I will hedge and hedge accordingly. "

Lin Fei picked up a pen and made a few strokes on the document.

"Phineas, do you need me to do something?

"No, the information you provided is already very useful.

Now, we just need to sit back and see how Jardine Matheson responds to this financial crisis. "

Lin Fei put down the pen and said lightly.

"Understood. "

Mu Shili responded, and then quietly exited the room.

Lin Fei sat in the luxurious office of the headquarters of the Feilong Group, staring at the computer screen in front of him like a torch.

It displays a variety of real-time stock data.

"Jardine Matheson was ruthless this time, and even grabbed the shares of the Land Group with us. "

General Manager Qiao Jiakang said with a frown.

"It's no surprise that shopping malls are like battlefields. "

Lin Fei picked up the phone: "Find Qiao Jiakang to come in." "

After a while, Qiao Jiakang, the general manager of Feilong Securities, walked in.

"Mr. Lin, what are you looking for me?" Qiao Jiakang asked.

"Qiao Jiakang, I need you to do something.

What is the stock price of Hongkong Land Group now?" Lin Fei cut straight to the point. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Now it's 235 blocks. "

Qiao Jiakang replied quickly.

"I want you to push it to 280 by tomorrow. "

Qiao Jiakang was stunned for a moment: "This increase is a bit big, and it may cause panic and concern in the market." "

"Don't worry, we'll diversify our risk through multiple hedging strategies and options trading. []

At the same time, you can use buy-and-sell and margin trading to regulate the flow of funds. "

Lin Fei laid out the plan in detail.

Qiao Jiakang bowed: "Understand, Mr. Lin."

Do we need to cooperate with Feilong Development Bank and Feilong Technology, two subsidiaries, to ensure sufficient funds?"

"Of course, and I also want you to use Feilong Media to carry out a wave of public relations propaganda to create a public opinion atmosphere that Hongkong Land is about to cooperate with major projects to attract investors. "

Qiao Jiakang immediately said: "I will act immediately to ensure that the task is completed." "

"Well done, you go out. "

Lin Fei waved his hand, signaling that Qiao Jiakang could retreat.

After a night of precise calculation and planning, Lin Fei came to the headquarters of Feilong Group early.

The smell of coffee fills his office, and real-time stock market data scrolls across several computer screens.

"Qiao Jiakang, start the operation immediately.

Use the cash we have on hand to buy shares in Hongkong Land. "

Lin Fei instructed into the phone.

"Understood, Mr. Lin. "

After Qiao Jiakang agreed, he immediately issued an order to buy Hongkong Land shares.

Soon after the stock market opened, Hongkong Land's share price rose significantly.

However, this is only Lin Fei's first step.

"Qiao Jiakang, contact Feilong Development Bank and prepare to pledge financing to pledge the shares of other companies we hold to the bank in exchange for cash. "

"Act now, Mr. Lin. "

Qiao Jiakang did not hesitate to execute.

Through the pledge financing of Feilong Development Bank, Feilong Group quickly obtained a large amount of liquidity.......

Lin Fei once again instructed Qiao Jiakang to use the funds to continue to expand the equity acquisition of Hongkong Land Group.

Then, Lin Fei made another phone call to Tang Wenzhe: "Tang Wenzhe, I need you to put other research projects on hold for the time being, devote yourself to stock market data analysis, and assist Qiao Jiakang." "

"No problem, boss. "

Tang Wenzhe responded.

With the addition of Feilong Technology, they have a more accurate grasp of market dynamics, successfully avoided a series of risks, and stabilized Hongkong Land's stock price at a relatively high level.

"Okay, now let's move on to the third step, which is to lock in the price with the forward contract to make sure we can buy at a lower price in the future. "

A gleam flashed in Lin Fei's eyes.

"As long as you do a good job of risk assessment and hedging, it's not a big problem. "

After a series of sophisticated operations, including cash purchases, pledge financing, forward contracts and other financial means, Feilong Group's shareholding in Hongkong Land Group finally climbed to 51%.

Lin Fei stood up and picked up a prepared acquisition plan: "Now that we have become the controlling shareholder.

Then the next step is to carry out capital integration, optimize the capital structure, and release synergies. "

At the headquarters of Jardine Matheson, Niu Bijian sat in his office, his brows furrowed.

The latest stock market data was displayed on the computer screen, and one line of numbers made his heart skip a beat: Hongkong Land's latest shareholding — 51% of Feilong Group.

"How is that possible!"

Niu Bijian almost roared angrily: "How could Lin Fei take over the Hongkong Group so quickly!"

He picked up the phone and dialed the number of the finance department of Jardine Matheson: "Give me an updated cash flow analysis report immediately!"

The staff of the finance department quickly sent the report to Niu Bijian's office: "Mr. Sun, according to the latest analysis, our current cash flow is indeed very tight. "

Niu Bijian flipped through the report, and his face became more and more ugly: "The current ratio has dropped to such a low level, and there is not much emergency fund, how can this be operated!"

The staff of the finance department said cautiously: "Mr. Niu, we have invested a lot of money in the early stage when we competed with Feilong Group for the shares of the Land Group.

Combined with the recent capital expenditure of Jardine Matheson's other businesses, 0.5 makes the company's leverage ratio already quite high. "

"Then have you considered asset restructuring or debt restructuring?" asked Niu Bijian eagerly.

The finance department shook his head: "I have considered it, but it does not seem realistic at present."

First, debt restructuring takes time and will affect the company's creditworthiness, and second, asset restructuring cannot be completed in a short period of time. "

Niu Bijian sat back in his chair and took a deep breath: "Lin Fei's pledge financing and forward contracts are really beautiful.

We are completely at a disadvantage in terms of cash flow and operating space. "

"Is there any other way?" said the finance officer carefully

Niu Bijian shook his head: "No, there are no more."

Even if we use our reserves now or try short-term financing, we will not be able to reverse the situation with Lin Fei taking an absolute stake in Hongkong Land. "

The finance department sighed helplessly: "Then what can we do now?"

Niu Bijian pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Since we have reached this point, then we can only prepare for a strategic retreat.

Make good provision for bad debts and risk hedging to minimize losses. "

The finance staff nodded and exited the office.

Niu Bijian looked out the window at the busy streets of Xiangjiang, and his heart was mixed.
