Guo Tairui's face turned blue and white. There were several moments when he wanted to angrily scold Yu Yongan, but he held back.
I have lived for more than seventy years and have never been insulted like this, but it is difficult for me to lift the table in anger like before.
The information about Yao Yuan provided by Li Bancheng made Guo Tairui extremely fearful. Excluding each other with Yu Yongan could relieve his anger, but the consequences would be unbearable.
After a lot of effort, Guo Tairui suppressed the anger in his chest, showed an expression of resignation, and said in a low voice, "Chairman Yu, it's me, Guo, who has blind eyes and doesn't recognize Taishan. Let Chairman Yu, you
It’s embarrassing.”
It is rare for him to say this sentence.
Yu Yongan smiled slightly, his anger dissipated a lot, his mood became much more stable, and his tone softened a lot, and said, "Senior Guo, you and I are not friends, but we have never had any conflicts. Tonight we, Mr. Yao,
I came here to visit you sincerely, please tell me whether what you did is too much."
"I didn't think carefully. Please tell Mr. Yao that you must give me a chance to apologize." Guo Tairui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dr. Yu, can you stop?"
Yu Yongan asked, "Is it still meaningful?"
Guo Tairui looked at the time and saw that there were only more than twenty minutes until the market closed.
After pondering for a while, he said, "I hope you can give us the Guo family a chance to apologize. As for Hong Kong Base shares, we must be responsible to our shareholders."
Yu Yongan took a deep look at Guo Tairui, picked up the phone, and said, "Stop it."
Guo Tairui immediately called Guo Xinhui. The latter observed for almost a minute and determined that no institution had placed short orders. Then he said dubiously, "Dad, it seems that Yu Yongan has retreated. What is his attitude? The last two
Can the stock price be pushed up in ten minutes?"
It's just a fool's errand. It's lucky that Yu Yong'an didn't go to death to suppress Hong Kong Capital Holdings, and he was expected to in turn push up the stock price of Hong Kong Capital Holdings.
You can only rely on yourself.
Guo Tairui did not answer, but hung up the phone and turned to Yu Yong'an and said, "Dr. Yu, sell me the Hong Kong shares in your hand. You agree on a price."
He calculated that Yu Yongan now has at least 50 million shares in his hands. If he adds the institutional stocks he can mobilize, Yu Yongan can already threaten the Guo family's control over Hong Kong Base shares, and then threaten Hong Kong Base Assets.
of control.
Can Hong Kong-based real estate that is not in the hands of the Guo family still be called Hong Kong-based real estate?
Yu Yong'an did not refuse as Guo Tairui predicted, but readily agreed, saying, "Okay, I'll sell it all to you at a 30% premium on the morning's closing price, and I won't keep any share."
Guo Tairui's suppressed anger finally burst out uncontrollably, and he stood up suddenly, "Yu Yong'an, don't bully others too much."
"Senior Guo, this is business." Yu Yongan was calm and calm, not affected by Guo Tairui's anger at all.
According to the closing price in the morning, on the basis of premium, Hong Kong Base Real Estate will need at least 2.4 billion Hong Kong dollars to transfer all Hong Kong Base shares from Yu Yongan!
The premium is nearly HK$500 million.
This is an unbearable price for Guo Tairui. You must know that in the previous battles, Hong Kong Base Real Estate suffered heavy losses. Moreover, even if the shares in Yu Yongan's hands are repurchased, can Hong Kong Base's shares return to the previous level?
, is still an unknown quantity.
Guo Tairui tried his best to calm down and said in a deep voice, "You have made a lot of money through hedging. If I guessed correctly, you have also been bearish on the Hang Seng Index futures. This is another huge profit. There is no need to force
Too many people."
"There is no historical grudge between you and me, Yu Yong'an. I come here with sincerity. If you think the Guo family is afraid of trouble, you are totally wrong."
Yu Yongan smiled and pressed his hand, "Senior Guo, I just said, this is business. Why do you think several major institutions should listen to me? Why should Zhanlu listen to me? If they don't make enough profits, they will listen to me.
of?"
"I'll tell you the truth, a 30% premium can barely make up for my losses. It means I can't close the deal if I don't buy it, and my whole afternoon's work is not in vain."
Just talk if you can. Guo Tairui shook his head slightly and said, "A 30% premium is impossible. I would rather not give it up. It is a lose-lose situation, and the Guo family can afford it."
Yu Yongan spread his hands and said simply, "Then there is nothing we can do."
Then serve tea to see off the guests.
Guo Tairui was stunned instead, he didn't expect Yu Yongan to be so tough.
After a moment of silence, Guo Tairui said, "The premium is 5%. I can only pay this price."
"25%." Yu Yongan said without hesitation, "This is my bottom line."
"Is it your bottom line or Mr. Yao's?" Guo Tairui asked coldly.
Yu Yongan smiled and said, "Senior Guo, I just said that Mr. Yao never cares about these trivial matters. He doesn't even take it to heart. If you don't believe it, we can continue to fight. Mr. Yao will never be right."
Say a word about this."
After a pause, Yu Yongan said confidently, "The valuation of Yongan Group's sales channels in Russia is US$1.5 billion, which is an assessment jointly made by several major banks such as Societe Generale. Why does Societe Generale give me its full support?
"
He smiled, "Because I agreed to allow some French products to enter the Russian market through Yongan Group's sales channels."
"So, this matter this afternoon may seem like a big deal to you, but within us, it doesn't even reach Mr. Yao's desk."
Guo Tairui was greatly shocked. He did not know much about Yongan Group's operations in Russia, but the valuation made by the banking consortium headed by Société Générale was not very watery, and it was not difficult to verify it.
"Senior Guo, it's getting late. Let's go back and think about it. There's no rush." Yu Yong'an drove the people away.
For the Guo family, the sooner this matter is resolved, the better.
Guo Tairui stood up and said, "Let me think about it for a few minutes."
"Excuse me." Yu Yongan made a gesture of invitation.
Guo Tairui went out, found a secluded place and started making phone calls. The first call he made was to Li Bancheng.
Borrow money!
The Guo family cannot even get out 100 million in funds now. It is obvious that Yu Yongan will definitely not give him a chance to delay payment.
Guo Tairui explained the situation again and said, "Brother Bancheng, no matter what, you have to give me a hand this time. If you can get through it, you can get over it. If you can't get through it, I'm afraid Hong Kong Base Holdings will be doomed."
Li Bancheng was silent.
As his silence became longer and longer, Guo Tairui's heart slowly sank. He knew that the richest man in Hong Kong, who could be said to be a good brother, was not willing to help.
As expected, Li Bancheng slowly said, "Tairui, you and I have known each other for almost forty years. You have helped me a lot over the years, and I have helped you a lot. If we don't talk about this now, let's talk about the current situation.
.”
"Hong Kong will return to the motherland in one week. All my funds are now invested in the investment plan in the UK. I can scrape together tens of millions to give you no problem. I will transfer the futures in HSBC Bank to you. It will cost you almost five
Ten million Hong Kong dollars.”
Guo Tairui's heart became cold. What use could 50 million Hong Kong dollars do?
Li Bancheng said helplessly, "I only have so much ability."
It’s useless to say more, brothers who have been brothers for more than 40 years are nothing more than that.
Guo Tairui's tone lost any emotion, "I won't bother Chairman Li anymore."
"Tai Rui, Tai Rui?"
After hanging up the phone, Guo Tairui looked out the window. Central was still the same Central, with an incredible amount of wealth flowing in this small area every day. As he got older, he experienced a feeling called despair.
"If you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust..."
A fierce look flashed in Guo Tairui's eyes, and he picked up his mobile phone and quickly made a call to James, the president of HSBC's East Asia region.
"Mr. Guo, I have already negotiated with Mr. Guo, but I can't provide much help. You have to think of other ways." James said apologetically as soon as he answered the phone.
The news that Yu Yongan had stopped shorting Hong Kong shares had not yet spread, and James thought that Guo Tairui's call was to raise "ammunition."
James has lived in Hong Kong for more than ten years, speaks fluent Cantonese, and is familiar with China. Appointing him as president of East Asia is actually preparing to enter the Chinese mainland market, which is not far away.
Guo Tairui said, "James, the matter has been resolved, but if I want to buy back all the shares in Yu Yongan's hands, I don't have enough funds."
James waited patiently.
Guo Tairui paused and said, "I want to use the credit line granted by HSBC Bank to Hong Kong Base Real Estate in advance."
HSBC is the main bank that provides financial support for Li Bancheng and the three major families' investment plans in the UK. It has given relatively high loan credits to these four companies and agreed that they can be activated after the investment plans in the UK are implemented.
However, it cannot be used in advance without an agreement.
James understood, pondered for a moment, and said, "Theoretically, it's possible, but in this case, what will happen to the funds invested by Hong Kong Base Real Estate in the UK?"
"I will make other arrangements. The top priority is to raise the share price of Hong Kong Capital. If we cannot get back the shares in Yu Yongan's hands, this time bomb will blow up Hong Kong Capital to pieces at any time. There is no talk of investing in the UK." Guo Tairui said coldly.
Said coldly.
James said, "Okay, you can use the credit line in advance, and our bank will not interfere, but as far as I know, even if you use the entire credit line, it will be difficult to completely repurchase Yu Yongan's Hong Kong shares, right?"
"
He has been paying attention to this sudden battle and is familiar with the situation on both sides. With the current financial situation of Hong Kong Base Real Estate, even if the entire credit line provided by HSBC is included, it is not enough.
Guo Tairui said helplessly, "I can only watch the food and eat. There is no other way."
James thought for a while and said, "Mr. Guo, I suggest you have a good talk with Mr. Yu Yong'an. He is backed by Hua Xia United Bank. You know this bank is very strong. What Mr. Yu wants is profits, please
He helped contact Hua Xia United Bank, maybe you can get an emergency loan from there."
Yu Yongan is definitely willing, Hua Xia United Bank is definitely willing, because there is money to be made, this is a good way...
"Mr. James, I will send someone over now. Please hurry up and secure the funds before getting off work." Guo Tairui said.
"There's no problem with me." James didn't object. He had reserved a quota in the first place. In his position, he just followed the normal procedures. Out of preferential treatment for big customers and good personal relationships, the normal process time was shortened.
It's nothing within an hour.
James knew that the investment plan in the UK was made by Li Bancheng and the three major families. All four families had obtained different pre-credit lines from HSBC. Now that the Guo family wants to use it in advance, it actually means that the Guo family has given up investing in the UK.
plan.
HSBC is a British bank with a strong British political background, so it strongly supports the investment plans of the four major families in the UK.
Logically speaking, if James UK prevented or refused Guo Tairui to use the pre-credit line in advance, he should at least notify Li Bancheng, but he did not and instead gave Guo Tairui an idea. This behavior seemed very abnormal.
Guo Tairui quickly thought about James' suggestion, then strode into Yu Yong'an's office and said straight to the point, "Dr. Yu, I agree to a 25% premium, but I hope you will give me a one-month payment period."
"Senior Guo, this kind of business is done quickly. I will keep it for you for three days at most. After this time, I may have to consider other buyers or consider self-sustaining." Yu Yongan did not agree.
This was expected by Guo Tairui. He sat down and said, "At present, I still have a gap of about 700 million Hong Kong dollars. There is only one way to meet your conditions."
"Please tell me." Yu Yongan is no longer so arrogant. This matter has developed to this point. This is business. There is no need to get angry.
Guo Tairui said, "I hope you can help Hong Kong Base Real Estate obtain a loan of HK$700 million from Hua Xia United Bank. This money will be used to buy back the Hong Kong Base shares in your hands."
"700 million is not enough." Yu Yongan frowned and said.
At this point, Guo Tairui no longer thinks about any investment plan in the UK. He has lost half his life and still invests in nothing. After all, he has been operating in Hong Kong for decades, which is undoubtedly much better than going to the unfamiliar UK.
"To be honest, in order to invest in the UK, Hong Kong Base Real Estate has obtained a US$200 million pre-credit corporate loan line from HSBC, and I have used all of it." Guo Tairui didn't hide it anymore, because it was pointless.
Yu Yongan suddenly realized, "In this case, the funds are enough, and you can still leave a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars to pull up the stock price of Hong Kong-based shares."
"Okay, I've accepted this introducer, and I'll call Mr. Gao Jian now."
After saying a few words, Yu Yongan handed the phone to Guo Tairui.
On the other end of the phone, Gao Jian smiled heartily and said, "Mr. Guo? I am Gao Jian from Hua Xia United Bank. I know everything about the situation. Hong Kong Base Real Estate is a high-quality enterprise among the Hong Kong real estate groups. Do you want to take some money from me?"
A loan, welcome, haha, I very much welcome Hong Kong Base Real Estate to become a major customer of our bank, and there is no problem with the emergency loan of HK$700 million."
Guo Tairui was surprised by Gao Jian's straightforwardness and asked calmly, "In terms of interest..."
"Ten percent lower than what HSBC gave you, Mr. Guo, this is an exclusive discount given to you by our Hua Xia United Bank. Are you satisfied?" Gao Jian said proudly as if waving his hand.
Guo Tairui has nothing to worry about.
Before he could continue to ask, Gao Jian said, "I don't need to tell you, Mr. Guo, you also know that a loan of this amount must have collateral. Hong Kong Base Real Estate will use its rights to the Tianzi No. 1 plot in Central as collateral."
, does not require the use of other assets built or under construction.”
Another preferential treatment.
"Mr. Guo, if there are no other problems, you can send someone over to handle the procedure. It will definitely be completed before the sun goes down. Our efficiency is only slightly faster than HSBC..."
