Chapter 175 Manipulating the Market and Killing Lin Fei?

Xiangjiang, that night, the lights are brilliant.

In a luxury hotel on the shores of Victoria Harbour, the owners of several Chinese groups gathered to celebrate a special occasion.

"Everyone, today is a great day!"

In the lobby of the hotel, a man in his fifties, wearing a suit and tie, said happily: "Mr. Lin has finally won the Hongkong Land Group, and Jardine Matheson has fallen behind!"

The hall was bustling with activity.

Under the ornate chandeliers, men, women and children are dressed exquisitely and talk and laugh freely.

"Haha, worthy of Mr. Lin, it's really the pride of our Chinese!"

A woman with short hair, holding a glass of red wine in her hand, said with a smile.

"That's right, that's right, I remember when the charter king won the Wharf, everyone was not so lively!"

A young man also joined the discussion: "Jardine Matheson has suffered a big loss right now. "

"You say, will they start saving themselves?"

A middle-aged man with glasses said in a deep voice.

"Self-salvation?

The young man asked rhetorically, "What else can they do with tight cash flow and so high leverage?"

"Indeed, Jardine Matheson can now be said to have broken both his left and right hands. "

The man in his fifties regained his serious expression: "From now on, the influence of the Chinese group in Xiangjiang will only grow!"

The scene shifts to another place, inside a private clubhouse.

"I heard that Lin Fei won the Hongkong Group?" A middle-aged man was playing mahjong with his 07 friend, and suddenly the topic changed here.

"Oh, I've heard the news too. "

Another man responded, "It's amazing, now Jardine Matheson is really drinking a pot of bitter tea." "

"It's not just bitter tea, it's arsenic!"

"Now, shouldn't we consider getting closer to the Feilong Group?"

"Well, that's a good idea. "

"After all, people are now the upstarts of Xiangjiang, and no one dares to underestimate them. "

"Yes, yes, in that case, let's celebrate tonight!"

They raised their wine glasses.

On the yacht, the soft lighting, plush sofas, fine wines and smoky cigars make for a noble picture.

The charter king sat on the sofa, twisting a cigar in his hand, his eyes were keen, and opposite him was his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng.

"Guangzheng, what do you think of Lin Fei's takedown of the Land Group this time?"

The charter king asked slowly.

Wu Guangzheng smiled: "Lin Fei's strategy of combining short and long is indeed clever.

First, he used asset restructuring and short contracts to push Jardine Matheson into a corner, and then took the opportunity to use cash to subscribe over-the-counter, directly increasing his stake to 51%, securing control of Hongkong Land. "

The charter king nodded: "That's right, his business acumen and economic means are excellent.

But do you think he'll be satisfied?"

Wu Guangzheng pondered for a moment: "I don't think so."

After all, Jardine Matheson is now in its infancy, with cash flow problems, high leverage and debt-to-asset ratios putting it at a disadvantage.

If Lin Fei wants to strike while the iron is hot, now is a good time to make further moves. "

"So what do you think he's going to do next?"

The charter king is becoming more and more interested.

"I think he might consider buying Jardine Matheson in its entirety, or at least further increasing his stake.

Through more cash purchases or equity exchanges, it will consolidate its control over Hongkong Group, and by the way, other high-quality assets of Jardine Matheson will also be merged into Feilong Group. "

Wu Guangzheng analyzed in detail.

The charter boat king smiled: "Guangzheng, you have analyzed it very well." "

Wu Guangzheng responded with a smile: "But we can't underestimate Jardine Matheson, after all, the old fox will not be willing to fail like this." "

The charter king said seriously: "Of course, shopping malls are like battlefields, and you should never despise the enemy.

But this time, I think Lin Fei has won the initiative and strategic advantage, and it may be very difficult for Jardine Matheson to turn the tables. "

The atmosphere on the yacht gets stronger with the night.

The charter king lightly lit another cigar, while Wu Guangzheng intently studied the various business reports placed on the table.

"Mitsumasa, if it were you, what would you do?"

Wu Guangzheng looked up: "If it were me, I would probably consider a full merger and acquisition of Jardine Matheson, and then carry out asset divestiture and restructuring." "

The charter king smiled: "It's very commercial thinking, but don't you think it will put a lot of pressure on the cash flow of Feilong Group?"

Wu Guangzheng nodded: "You're right, a full-scale M&A does require a lot of capital, which will affect free cash flow.

If there is a problem in the capital chain, then the entire Feilong Group will be implicated. "

The charter king said slowly: "If it were me, I would definitely swallow Jardine Matheson completely, but not in one breath."

Capital injections may be made first to address Jardine Matheson's short-term cash flow problems. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Funds are then raised through acquisitions, loans, or high-yield bonds. "

"The advantage of this is that not only do you solve the problem of a lot of money required for the M&A, but you also give yourself a buffer time.

But it's also a big gamble, because then you have to make sure that Jardine Matheson's operating cash flow is stable enough to pay for its debt services. "

Wu Guangzheng could hear it: "Father-in-law, your strategy is equivalent to a tooth for a tooth and use Jardine Matheson's own cash flow to complete this merger and acquisition." "

The charter king smiled: "That's right, this is also a kind of use of financial leverage." []

But you have to understand that the higher the financial leverage, the greater the risk.

If Jardine Matheson's cash flow does not recover as expected, the entire Fly Dragon Group could suffer. "

Wu Guangzheng pondered: "This is almost a gamble. "

The charter boat king spit out a smoke ring: "In the mall, how can there be no betting? It just depends on whether you dare to bet and how much you bet." "

............

The air in the Keswick family's office seemed to freeze, and the dreary atmosphere was as suffocating as the heavy curtains.

"Look at the earnings report, sir.

Feilong Group first gradually increased its stake in Hongkong Land through a bottom position purchase, and then announced a full acquisition of it. "

Niu Bijian held a thick pile of papers in his hand, trying his best to keep his tone steady.

Mr. Keswick frowned: "That bastard, he is still doing it, what does he want to do?"

"According to our financial risk assessment, if Lin Fei succeeds in acquiring Hongkong Land, he will further strengthen the competitive pressure on Jardine Matheson.

He may use capital consolidation and strategic alliances to further reduce our market share. "

Mr. Keswick was furious: "This is simply a stain on our family's reputation!"

Niu Bijian took a deep breath: "Sir, I suggest that we initiate an anti-takeover strategy, or find a white knight to fight against the Feilong Group. "

Mr. Keswick's eyes were sharp: "White Knight, which companies do you think are suitable?"

"We could consider strategic partnerships with other large consortia or hedge funds," Niu said.

In this way, we can increase the market capitalization of Jardine Matheson through equity exchange or joint contributions, making the acquisition of the Feilong Group more difficult. "

Mr. Keswick nodded, "Very good, act immediately." "

Just then, a secretary walked in and handed Niu Bijian a telegram.

Niu Bijian looked at it, and his face became even more gloomy: "Sir, bad news, Lin Fei has just released an analysis report on the uncertain future of Jardine Matheson through Feilong Media and the need to invest cautiously.

This will undoubtedly affect our share price. 980"

Mr. Keswick slammed the table: "That bastard! how dare he publicly humiliate us!"

Niu Bijian's tense face showed determination: "Sir, it's time to give that bastard some color." "

The eyes of the two met together, and they both saw the anger and determination in each other's eyes, and the atmosphere in the conference room was suppressed to freezing point in an instant.

"This Lin Fei is really a cunning fox!"

Charles Keswick angrily threw down the documents in his hand: "He didn't plan to really go all out to buy Hongkong Land in the first place, it was just a smokescreen!"

His real target is our Jardine Matheson!"

Niu Bijian smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect him to use such a high leverage ratio to make a financing acquisition through a loan from Feilong Development Bank." This is really a typical holding tactic. "

Charles said angrily: "This guy is using short repo and put options to make the market lose confidence in Jardine Matheson, he is fighting with financial weapons!"

"What's even more odious is that he also used Feilong Media to publish false news about the instability of Jardine Matheson, causing panic in the market, which is simply manipulating the market!"

"If this continues, our shareholders' rights will be seriously infringed. "

Niu Bijian pondered for a moment: "I suggest that we launch an anti-takeover strategy, using Jardine Matheson's cash reserves and external loans to buy a large number of shares of Feilong Group. "

Charles frowned: "What about the risk? Our financial leverage is already very high. "

"Of course, there are risks, but inaction is even more dangerous. We can manage risk through risk hedge funds, as well as purchase interest rate swaps to reduce the interest burden on loans. "

Charles took a deep breath and finally nodded in agreement: "Then start acting, but be careful not to let Lin Fei grab the handle." "

Niu Bijian stood up, his eyes calm: "Don't worry, I will definitely let that Lin Fei taste the taste of being toyed with." "。
