Chapter 176 Consume the capital of Jardine Matheson and fully annex it!
On the cloudy runway of Xiangjiang Airport, a luxurious private jet slowly landed.
The moment the door opened, old Henry Keswick, dressed in a tailored suit, stepped out of the plane.
His countenance was solemn, with a majesty that should not be underestimated.
Outside the airport, a convoy of black limousines parked in a dedicated aisle, waiting for the business magnate who had flown in from Britain.
"Welcome, Mr. Keswick. "
Niu Bijian, dressed in a long dark trench coat, stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
"Time is pressing, Mr. Niu, we need to act as soon as possible. "
Keswick shook hands with Niu Bijian, and there was not a trace of nonsense.
The two of them then got into one of the limousines and began their journey straight to the headquarters of Jardine Matheson.
Inside, the horseskin seats and mahogany veneer show the elegance and luxury of high society.
The luxurious meeting room atmosphere at Jardine Matheson's headquarters is particularly different today.
Niu Bijian stood in front of the window, through which he could see the hustle and bustle of Victoria Harbour, but his mood was not relaxed.
The door was pushed open, and old Henry Keswick entered.
"Lin Fei's Feilong Group currently has a clear advantage in the stock market, and our buyback program is almost deadlocked. "
Niu Bijian said while looking at the documents in his hand.
"I learned that Lin Fei not only has strong capital, but also is surprisingly ruthless.
He used a variety of financial instruments such as convertible bonds to carry out capital operations, which was a perfect capital war. "
"So, Mr. Keswick, what are your tricks?"
"The key to business warfare is not only about money, but also about information and timing.
Since he uses financial products as weapons, we can also use our information superiority and political resources to fight back. "
"You mean ......" Niu Bijian's eyes lit up.
"We have to adopt a hedging strategy to buy and sell some financial derivatives related to Lin Fei in the financial market, so that he feels pressured. "
"Yes, go on. "
"We then secretly engage in mergers and acquisitions (MAs) with other companies through Jardine Matheson's investment banking division in order to gain a competitive advantage. "
In this way, it can not only increase the capital strength of Jardine Matheson, but also catch Lin Fei off guard. "
"The last resort is to use the media and other channels to discredit him through public relations warfare.
As soon as his stock price is affected, he falls into passivity. "
"I'm afraid he's going to be out of breath after you're doing this. "
'But before that, we need to keep an eye on him and if we see something wrong with him, we'll strike immediately. "
"Hearing you say that, I'm looking forward to this financial war. "
The investment banking department of Jardine Matheson Matheson was particularly busy, with financial analysts, traders and brokers staring anxiously at computer screens.
There's a suffocating tension here.
Niu Bijian sat in his office, phone in hand, and kept in close contact with the branches in Niu Yo and Luntun.
Old Henry Keswick was standing beside him, a subtle hint of nervousness on his face.
"Okay, you take action immediately, start making short markets, and attack Feilong Securities in Lin Fei's hands. "
Niu Bijian put down the phone and said to old Henry.
"Very good, just executed according to our plan. "
Old Henry nodded in satisfaction.
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and a young financial analyst walked in briskly, holding a document in his hand.
"Mr. Keswick, this is the recent financial report of the Feilong Group that we have just gathered. "
Niu Bijian quickly flipped through it, and then his face changed.
"Are you sure the numbers are okay?"
He asked solemnly.
"Absolutely, we used a variety of channels to verify. "
Niu Bijian looked up at old Henry, who also obviously felt that something was wrong.
"It seems that this Lin Fei's cash flow is extremely strong, and he has completed a number of capital operations in just one quarter, and even carried out financial leasing and
Trading in derivative financial instruments. "
Old Henry frowned: "This is not something that ordinary businessmen can do, he even does a good job in some risk hedging."
If we continue to operate as planned, we will likely get into trouble. "
"So what do we do now?"
Niu Bijian asked.
"I think we need to re-evaluate his credit risk and market risk and then adjust our strategy. "
"More information is needed.
I will immediately instruct my subordinate to gather business intelligence, especially which financial institutions he has recently dealtled with and what related party transactions may exist. "
"At the same time, I will contact our partners in Heung Kong to see if we can temporarily increase liquidity through asset swap or securitization. "
Niu Bijian made a quick decision.
"No matter what, we can't underestimate this Lin Fei, he is indeed a formidable opponent. "
Old Henry glanced out the window, as if thinking about something further.
"I thought there would be an easy victory halfway around the world here, but now it looks like it's going to be a tough battle. "
"Then let's make this tough battle more intense. "
The two glanced at each other, and each saw the coldness and warlike intent in each other's eyes.
Lin Fei sat in the spacious office of the headquarters of Feilong Group, and the large screen in front of him displayed the real-time trend chart of the stock market.
He held a cigar in his hand, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.
"Qiao Jiakang. "
Lin Fei pressed the communication button on his desk.
"Yes, boss. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Qiao Jiakang's voice came out through the speaker.
"Jardine Matheson's share price continues to rise, and Keswick and Niu Bijian appear to be hedging with options and futures, but their leverage is clearly increasing. "
Qiao Jiakang nodded on the other end: "Yes, they began to use financial derivatives to stabilize the situation.
But the market has already smelled panic, and short-term investors and institutions are buying Jardine Matheson shares, pushing up its price-to-earnings ratio. "
Lin Fei smiled: "The more they do this, the more the market feels that they have a problem in their hands, forming a kind of negative feedback."
Continue to increase buying, use our cash reserves and credit lines, and contact Feilong Securities and Feilong Development Bank at the same time to prepare for the issuance of convertible bonds. "
"Understood, boss. "
At the scene of the investment banking department of Jardine Matheson, the employees looked anxious, seeing the stock price soaring, and the old Henry Keswick and Niu Bijian looked at each other.
"What's going on? Our hedging strategy should be able to stabilize the situation!"
Old Henry was puzzled and angry. []
"It's not just the share price, it's already affecting our credit rating. "
"If this continues, we may be at risk of default," he said eagerly. "
"Damn Lin Fei, what the hell does he want to do?"
Old Henry thumped the table.
Niu Bijian glanced at the computer screen: "He not only further increased his buying efforts through Feilong Securities and Feilong Development Bank.
Convertible bonds have even been issued to attract more capital.
His goal is clear, which is to completely devour Jardine Matheson. "
"That number...... It's gotten to the point where we can't buy back. "
Old Henry's face became more and more ugly.
At the headquarters of Feilong Group, Lin Fei took another puff of his cigar with a satisfied smile on his face.
"It seems that this takeover war has come to an end. "
At the luxurious headquarters of Jardine Matheson, the elder Henry Keswick paced his office with a carpet as thick as a lawn.
The gold-framed oil paintings, high-end crystal chandeliers, and the interior environment piled up with all kinds of luxury goods could not relieve his anxiety at the moment.
"'Damn Lin Fei, why is that guy so difficult to deal with?'
He grabbed his hair, his thick eyebrows almost twisted together.
"There is something you may need to know, Mr. Keswick. "
Niu Bijian walked in from the door, holding a delicate invitation in his hand.
Keswick frowned, "Where are you in the mood to attend any banquets or social events now?" "
"This invitation letter was sent from Feilong Group and was personally sent by Mr. Lin Fei. "
Niu Bijian handed Keswick the invitation.
Keswick took the invitation and opened it to see that it was indeed an evening banquet held in the luxury club of the Feilong Group.
"He's still in the mood for an evening feast?"
Keswick couldn't help but sneer.
"There must be something else going on here. "
Niu Bijian added.
The paper of the invitation letter is extremely elegant, not only thick but also extremely good-touched, written in golden handwriting, showing Lin Fei's ubiquitous sense of luxury and aura.
"Well, Mr. Keswick, do you think we should go?"
"Go, of course. "
Keswick put the invitation down, a weird smile on his lips.
At this moment, a man in a black suit walked in and whispered a few words to Niu Bijian.
"Mr. Keswick, the stock price has risen again, you see ......"
"Don't worry, we'll talk about it tomorrow after the dinner. "
Keswick interrupted him: "I want to see what tricks this Lin Fei wants to play." "
Niu Bijian smiled slightly and retreated.
Keswick picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Prepare (Nord Zhao), we are going to attend a very special dinner tomorrow evening." "
A confirmation voice came from the other end of the line.
Henry Keswick Sr. stood in his private office at the headquarters of Jardine Matheson, with an ornate wine cabinet and a variety of top-of-the-line pipes in front of him.
He took a good handmade pipe from the cupboard, lit it, and took a deep breath.
"How's it going, how are the departments doing?"
Keswick asked, facing him a group of serious executives in suits.
"Sir, we have prepared a detailed analysis report covering all possible financial structures and strategic layouts of the Feilong Group. "
Niu Bijian, the general manager, handed him a thick folder.
"Good. At the banquet, I want to be able to keep track of Lin Fei's every move at any time. "
Keswick flipped through the folder and glanced at it.
"We have also arranged for some insiders to be in various key departments of the Feilong Group, and they will send back information in real time. "
A senior manager added.
"By the way, there will definitely be a lot of businessmen and politicians who have business dealings with the Feilong Group at this banquet, and I want their background information, especially those who may be on Lin Fei's side. "
Keswick put his pipe down.
The members of the senior team nodded and left the office after Keswick.
From the headquarters of Jardine Matheson to the luxury club of the Feilong Group, Keswick was constantly receiving information and intelligence from all sides, and his mobile phone barely stopped.
