A wealthy family from Hong Kong Island conquers two beauties, four stunning beauties and ten beautie

Chapter 177 Hundred Years of Jardine, surnamed Lin

Henry Keswick Sr. sat in a luxurious Rolls-Royce sedan, wondering what might happen tonight.

He took out the invitation from his pocket and looked at it again.

It is made of a thick sheet of ivory white paper, on which the invitation is written in gold ink, and the handwriting reveals an aura that cannot be ignored.

"Sir, we are almost there. "

The driver said respectfully.

Keswick nodded, putting the invitation back in his pocket.

The car slowly drove into a secluded manor, and two uniformed security guards at the door immediately saluted, as if welcoming a state guest.

After the car came to a stop, the driver walked up to the door and respectfully opened the door for Keswick.

"Thank you. "

Keswick stepped out of the car, his eyes sweeping around.

The environment was even more luxurious than he had expected, with a lawn in front of the manor planted with all kinds of precious flowers and plants, and a large fountain with a water column several meters high.

He couldn't help but think that this should have been specially prepared by Lin Fei in order to show his financial resources and status.

Zhou Lu walked over: "Mr. Keswick, it's a great honor for you to attend this banquet, I'm Mr. Lin Fei's secretary." "

"Hello. "

Keswick shook his hand.

Zhou Lu guided him into a lavishly decorated hall.

The walls are made of imported Italian marble, and the floors are made of mahogany.

A large crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and a table encrusted with gems sits underneath.

"Welcome, Mr. Keswick. "

A voice came from behind him.

Keswick turned around and saw Lin Fei walking towards him.

He wore a custom-made black suit with a tie embrazed with several diamonds, which made him look extremely noble.

"Mr. Lin, the decoration of this banquet is indeed worthy of its name. "

Keswick said with a smile.

"Oh, these are just small things, mainly to provide you with a comfortable environment. "

Lin Fei responded, smiling.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, then walked to the table and sat down.

The menu is full of top-notch French cuisine, paired with vintage wines.

770 "Now, Mr. Keswick, should we talk about the future of Jardine Matheson tonight?"

Lin Fei put down his wine glass and looked at Keswick.

"Of course, this is also the main purpose of my trip. "

Keswick responded, his eyes sharp.

Lin Fei smiled slightly, put down the tableware, and opened a delicate wooden box on the table.

Inside is a thick folder of the Jardine Matheson Group's comprehensive financial analysis.

"Mr. Keswick, since we are all businessmen, we should talk about numbers. "

Lin Fei took out a report and handed it to Old Henry.

Old Henry took it, magnified his eyes and looked at it, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"I see what is written here, what is the current market value of Jardine Matheson, what is the profit, and what is the debt.

I don't know if you've noticed this-"

Lin Fei tapped a number on the report with his finger: "Jardine Matheson has about ...... working capital in hand now."

Old Henry nodded, and his eyes began to become serious.

At present, Feilong Group has working capital, and even if it does not use any financing channels, it has enough ability to buy more than 50% of the shares of Jardine Matheson. "

Lin Fei continued: "The question now is, how much capital can you use to maintain your controlling position in Jardine Matheson?"

"I don't think that's the crux of the matter. "

Henry Sr. remained calm: "The control of the shares is not only a matter of capital, but also the opinions of the management, the shareholders' meeting, and the reaction of the market to this acquisition. "

"Quite right, but in fact, if I make a move, then the shareholders' meeting and the management, including the market, will be on the profitable side.

You know, money is often more impressive than morality. "

Lin Fei smiled.

Old Henry frowned: "You are threatening me?"

"I?, threatening you?"

Lin Fei shook his head: "I'm just reasoning. You also know that on the financial battlefield, strength is everything.

Your Jardine Matheson is undoubtedly a good company, but it is clear that it is no match for me in this war. "

Old Henry was silent for a moment, and then said, "Then you mean, what should I do?"

"Sell it to me, or, at least, don't stop me from buying it.

In this way, you can get a decent income, and Jardine Matheson can also get more capital and resources to expand. "

Old Henry looked at Lin Fei carefully, as if he was measuring his sincerity.

"I need time to think about it. "

Old Henry finally said.

Lin Fei leisurely put down his wine glass, turned his gaze from the crystal glass to Old Henry, and continued: "Mr. Keswick, you are a wise person, and I believe you also see the direction of the situation.

Right now, we don't have many paths to choose from. "

Old Henry's face was solemn, and he held a handkerchief in his hand, and from time to time brushed the beads of sweat from his forehead.

"You see, it's not just a business acquisition, it's a financial game about the future. "

Lin Fei picked up a delicate black folder and showed it to Old Henry: "There are two contracts here.

One is that we will work together to sell Jardine Matheson to me, and you and your family will receive a significant amount of cash and equity.

The other is the strategic plan of Feilong Group for the future development of Jardine Matheson. "

Old Henry's eyes were fixed on the folder, and his heart began to struggle violently.

Lin Fei continued: "Do you want to leave the Keswick family with nothing?

Or do you hope that the Keswick family can leave the market with dignity and transform into other fields with development potential?"

Old Henry bit his lip and was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "Can you guarantee that the terms of this contract will not be detrimental to me and my family?"

"Mr. Keswick, I am a man of promises.

The contract will provide the Keswick family with a fairly fair package, including a range of severance pay, pension arrangements and other benefits.

At the same time, you can choose to exchange equity for a small number of shares in Feilong Group to ensure that you can still enjoy a stable income after retirement. "

"You've used economic terms like discounted cash flow and rate of return in this scenario, and it's all taken into account. "

Old Henry gradually relaxed his tense nerves.

"Of course, we not only carry out cash flow discounting, but also conduct a number of risk assessments, including political risk, exchange rate risk, etc., to ensure that you can maximize the value of your assets. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lin Fei was right-eyed.

Old Henry took a deep breath, as if he had made a big decision.

"Okay, Mr. Lin Fei, I accept your proposal.

I'm willing to let the Keswicks leave with dignity. "

Lin Fei smiled and stretched out his hand: "Then, we will make an appointment." "[]

"I'll have my lawyer check the contract, and if it's okay, we'll be able to close the deal soon. "

"Of course, everything will be done in accordance with the legal process. "(ahbi）

Lin Fei responded with a smile.

Henry Sr. pushed open the door to the family meeting room, the most dignified room in the Keswick family's private mansion in Xiangjiang.

The interior is elegantly decorated, with some classical oil paintings and precious family memorabilia hanging on the walls.

"Is everyone there?"

Old Henry asked in a solemn voice.

On the seat sat the main members of the Keswick family, including his sons, daughters, and some members of the nuclear family.

"Father, you're finally back.

How's it going, how are the negotiations with Lin Fei?"

The son asked eagerly.

Old Henry took a deep breath, and then said, "I have already made a decision, we will withdraw from Xiangjiang and no longer compete with Lin Fei for Jardine Matheson." "

There was an uproar in the conference room.

"What? Are you crazy?"

The daughter almost screamed.

"Father, you can't do that.

Jardine Matheson is the foundation of our family's foothold in Heung Kong, and once we lose it, we will have nothing!"

The son retorted angrily.

Old Henry looked at them calmly, and then said, "Do you think I haven't thought it through?

In fact, the negotiations with Lin Fei made it even clearer to me that in the current financial environment, it is impossible for us to defeat him. "

"But, father, we can continue to make acquisitions, increase our capital, and even find other partners. "

The son proposed.

"Increase your capital?"

Old Henry smiled: "Do you think this is child's play? How much capital Lin Fei controls in his hands, do you know?"

He's ready to go out and beat us out.

In contrast, our funding chain is already very tight. "

"Then we can't find other partners?"

The daughter proposed.

Old Henry shook his head: "Who else do you think would dare to cooperate with us in Lin Fei's sphere of influence? "

The members of the family were speechless and understood that old Henry was telling the truth.

"Besides, cooperating with Lin Fei is not without its benefits.

We can get a considerable severance pay and equity in the Feilong Group, which will reserve more funds and resources for the future development of the family. "

Henry Sr. continued.

"But what about our reputation, what about our dignity?"

The son is still not reconciled.

"Honour and dignity cannot be eaten.

The reality is that we need to make smart choices. "

Old Henry's voice revealed a hint of helplessness and coldness.

The members of the family eventually had to accept this cruel truth, although they were reluctant, but after the old Henry made this decision, their opposition was actually meaningless, and nothing could be changed.

"So, let's do what you say. "

The son finally relented.

In the conference room, the air was almost frozen.

Old Henry's decision was like a sharp knife, piercing directly into the hearts of the members of the Keswick family.

"100 years of Jardine, just gone?"

Her daughter's voice trembled, and tears had already overflowed from her eyes.

The son lowered his head so much that he almost touched the table, resisting to keep the tears from falling.

"Father, are you sure there is no other way?"

Old Henry looked at them and his heart spasmed, but it was a helpless choice.

He let out a long sigh and said, "I know it's painful, but it's also wisdom to give up."

At the very least, we can have a decent ending. "

On the other side, at the headquarters of the Feilong Group, Lin Fei sat in a luxurious office, looking at a document on the table.

This document is the agreement of the Keswick family to transfer all of Jardine Matheson's shares to the Flying Dragon Group.

Qiao Jiakang stood next to him with a pen and said with a smile: "Boss, look, this time we can use 30 billion Hong Kong dollars to directly eat all the shares of Jardine Matheson in the hands of old Henry."

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "

Lin Fei smiled, took the pen, and lightly signed the document.

"Although 30 billion yuan is not a lot of money, the complete integration of Jardine Matheson into the Feilong Group can further improve our industrial chain and strengthen our competitive advantage. "

Qiao Jiakang looked at the signed document and said, "We will make a one-time payment through Feilong Development Bank, so that we can avoid the time cost of funds."

At the same time, this acquisition will also be directly reflected in our next quarter's earnings report, which will greatly enhance investors' confidence in us." "

Lin Fei nodded and said with satisfaction: "Well done, when you are ready, you go and confirm with Old Henry for the last time, and then you can announce the news." "

In the meeting room of the Keswick family, old Henry's mobile phone rang, and when he glanced at it, it was a call from the Feilong Group.

He answered the phone, and after listening to a few words, he sighed: "Okay, I understand." "

Hanging up the phone, he turned his head to look at the family members who were still crying: "Lin Fei has agreed, 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, our equity will be transferred to Feilong Group." "

The family members were speechless and just silently wiped away their tears.
