Chapter 334: No Way for Yihe to Survive
Late at night, a flight slowly landed at Kai Tak Airport.

After the plane stopped, the cabin door opened, and Bao Yugang and a group of people slowly walked down from the plane.

"Dad!"

Wu Guangzheng, who came to pick us up at the airport, came over immediately.

"Let's go home first!"

Bao Yugang said to Wu Guangzheng calmly.

After getting in the car, Bao Yugang rubbed his eyes. Although he knew that Jardine Matheson would launch a surprise attack, he was going to Europe for real.

The continuous long-distance flights back and forth for several days were very tiring for Bao Yugang.

"Dad, let's go home and have a rest first."

Seeing Bao Yugang's tired expression, Wu Guangzheng said with concern.

"It's good. How was the Jardine Matheson stock acquisition yesterday?"

It is now past 12 o'clock, and the Jardine raid is considered yesterday.

“We didn’t ask for the specific data, but I think the number of shares that Jardine Matheson received should not be very large.”

"I had people monitor each of Jardine's purchasing points and counted the number of people who went there. The number of people in the afternoon was much less than that in the morning."

"The method Ayang gave is very effective. Many people spread it by word of mouth and were hesitant."

"There are many stockholders who are waiting to see what we will offer."

Wu Guangzheng said excitedly at this time.

Hearing Wu Guangzheng's words, a smile appeared on Bao Yugang's tired face.

"Ayang's method is indeed effective. The car parade is really innovative."

"You will also stay at home later. Come with me in the morning to meet Shen Bi and the senior executives of HSBC."

"On my way back, I made an appointment with them to have morning tea together this morning."

Bao Yugang gave Wu Guangzheng another instruction.

Although he bought a big villa, his daughters and sons-in-law all had their own houses after they got married and would not live at home all the time.

"Okay, Dad!"

At the same time, as the Global Shipping convoy left, in the hall not far from the airport, a group of people showed excitement on their faces.

"Did you get it?"

"I got it, I got it. He is the king of charter boats, no doubt about it."

"Okay, this will be on the front page tomorrow morning. Let's go back to the newspaper office."

A group of reporters from newspapers guessed that Bao Yugang might return overnight, so they waited at Kai Tak Airport early, and now they finally saw him.

Sure enough, early the next morning, the newspapers were filled with the news that Bao Yugang had returned to Hong Kong.

[Returning to Hong Kong late at night, the shipping king is determined to acquire Wharf Holdings]

[The shipping tycoon returned overnight, intending to fight a decisive battle with Jardine Matheson]

[The decisive battle of Kowloon Wharf is imminent, Bao Yugang personally takes action]

[A new showdown between British companies and Chinese tycoons, who will win?]

Early in the morning, Li Changhe sat in the restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel, leisurely reading the newspaper in front of the dining table.

Bao Yugang returned overnight last night, which was really tiring.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be meeting Shen Bi and others today.

The top management of HSBC should have already decided to support Pao Yu-kong. The question now is how much money Pao Yu-kong can negotiate with HSBC.

"Mr. Bao, the front desk has a call for you."

Just as Li Changhe was eating leisurely, the restaurant waiter came over and said respectfully.

They were already very familiar with Li Changhe. After all, this mysterious guest had lived in the Peninsula Hotel for a long time.

Of course, he is no longer mysterious now.

Because basically everyone at the Peninsula Hotel knew that the other party was from the shipping tycoon Bao family, and was said to be the nephew of Bao Yugang.

Some people even gossiped privately, saying that Li Changhe was not Bao Yugang's nephew, but Bao Yugang's illegitimate son.

After all, the shipping magnate has no sons, only four daughters. According to the concept of family inheritance, it is normal to have an illegitimate child.

But no matter what, Li Changhe's background is very powerful, which makes the people at the Peninsula Hotel dare not neglect him.

"Thank you. I'll pick it up right away."

Li Changhe casually took out fifty Hong Kong dollars and handed it to the waiter who came to inform him.

"Thank you, Mr. Bao!"

Seeing the tip from Li Changhe, the waiter thanked him politely.

Why are they all rushing to serve Li Changhe? Because Li Changhe is generous.

When I returned to the room, the call had already been transferred.

Li Changhe picked up the phone and smiled slightly after listening.

"Jim, wait till I get over there."

Afterwards, Li Changhe drove to the Mandarin Hotel.

"Vic, the company we are following, Jardine Matheson, is now competing with Mr. Bao for Wharf Holdings' shares."

"They are exchanging shares of Hong Kong Land for a new one. I think this is a good opportunity for us."

"The Wharf shares we hold can be exchanged for Hong Kong Holdings shares."

As soon as Li Changhe came in, Jim spoke to him quickly.

"stop!"

After Jim stopped, Li Changhe shook his head.

"Jim, I know what you said, but now is not the time."

"If we sell Wharf Holdings' shares to Jardine Matheson now, it will be very dangerous for the Pao family."

"You should know that the Bao family is also my family. At this time, we can't help Yihe."

"Of course I know that Mr. Shipping King is your uncle. How about we sell the shares of Wharf Holdings to your family? This way we can get enough funds."

"In fact, according to our estimates, the funds we have are somewhat insufficient to acquire the shares of Hong Kong Land."

"You said at the time that you would transfer other funds."

Jim said to Li Changhe seriously at this time, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the money. The funds will be transferred to the Manhattan Bank account the day after tomorrow."

"Get your people ready. Next Tuesday is when we'll make our debut."

At this moment, Li Changhe spoke clearly to Jim.

Today is Saturday, and the stock market is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.

As expected, Monday is the day of the decisive battle for Hutchison Whampoa.

As long as Bao Yugang raises funds, the winner between Bao and Jardine Matheson will definitely be decided on Monday.

In this day and age, stock trading is so simple, as long as the money is in place, the stock acquisition speed will be very fast.

Because stock trading is not instant trading, but manual trading, there is a characteristic that the quick hand will get the reward while the slow hand will miss the reward.

To put it bluntly, each company can only acquire so many shares. If you sell too late, they will no longer be able to take over the shares.

Therefore, once the price is announced, many investors will often rush to sell. This was Jardine Matheson’s initial thinking.

“Are we going to be on stage on Tuesday?”

Jim said excitedly after hearing this.

He was excited not because he was about to start the acquisition, but because he was excited that this work was finally about to be completed.

All in all, they have been in Hong Kong for almost two months. Although the income is high, he still wants to return to the United States as soon as possible.

"Correct!"

Li Changhe also had his considerations for not playing on Monday.

Once Li Changhe comes on the scene during the Hutchison Whampoa battle, the price of Hutchison Whampoa shares will inevitably rise.

In this way, it is actually a disguised way to raise Jardine Matheson's offer for Hutchison Whampoa.

After all, the stock price of Swire Properties has risen. For shareholders, the total value of stocks and bonds that were originally worth 100 yuan may have risen to 110 or 120 yuan. This puts enormous pressure on the Pao family to acquire Wharf Holdings.

Because in this way, Bao will have to raise the price to purchase it.

In that case, Li Changhe would be doing more harm than good.

Therefore, Li Changhe is scheduled to appear on Tuesday, when the battle between Bao and Jardine Matheson is almost settled.

"Understood. I'll get ready right away."

Jim said excitedly.

Li Changhe's arrangements went smoothly, and similarly, Bao Yugang's arrangements also went smoothly.

With his nearly three-decade friendship with HSBC, HSBC has given him the greatest support.

Watching Shen Bi and the others leave, Wu Guangzheng's face was full of excitement.

"A Zheng, call A Yang and ask him to come back."

Bao Yugang then gave instructions to Wu Guangzheng.

Wu Guangzheng nodded and prepared to go find Li Changhe.

After a moment, he walked back helplessly.

"Dad, Ayang is not in the hotel. The hotel staff said that he received a phone call this morning and went out!"

"I'll have to install a car phone in this kid's car later."

"Call the Mandarin Hotel and ask for Jim Collins. Ayang should be there."

Bao Yugang said somewhat helplessly.

"Jim Collins? Jim from Chase Manhattan Bank?"

Wu Guangzheng asked in surprise at this moment.

Bao Yugang heard this and said with a smile: "You know him too?"

"Dad, I used to work at Chase Manhattan Bank, and I was a colleague of Jim!"

Before becoming Bao Yugang's son-in-law, Wu Guangzheng worked at Chase Company after graduating from university.

"Really? That's a coincidence. It's him. Contact him. Ayang should be there."

"Jim is now leading his team to help Ayang acquire Hutchison Whampoa's shares. Once our business with Wharf is finished, they will take action against Hutchison Whampoa."

It's time to do this, and there's no need for Bao Yugang to keep it secret anymore. After all, he'll need Wu Guangzheng and Li Changhe to cooperate with him when the time comes.

"That's it, I understand!"

No wonder he didn't see any signs of Bao's group taking action against the enemy.

I was wondering how Bao Zeyang was going to take action against the enemy, but it turns out he was going to use people from Chase Manhattan Bank.

More than an hour later, Li Changhe arrived at Bao Yugang's villa.

Inside the study, Bao Yugang was drinking ginseng tea with his eyes closed.

"uncle!"

"coming!"

"sit!"

After Li Changhe sat down, Bao Yugang immediately spoke.

"Ayang, I have already negotiated with HSBC. HSBC will give me a credit line of 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars."

"I currently own about 35% of Wharf Holdings. If I want to acquire 49%, I will need another 1600 million shares."

"I plan to buy it in cash at a price of 110 yuan per share for two days."

"what do you think?"

With money in hand, Bao Yugang spent his money without hesitation.

110 yuan per share, five yuan more than the historical price of 105 yuan per share.

These five dollars were undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.

On one hand, there are stocks and bonds, and on the other hand, there is cash, and an extra ten yuan in cash.

This advantage can directly defeat Jardine Matheson!

"Uncle, you are leaving no chance for Yihe to survive!"

"If that's the case, my shares in Wharf Holdings should be transferred directly to you."

Li Changhe said thoughtfully at this moment.

(In fact, the scene where the bodyguard was fighting was originally intended to introduce a very important plot character, but when I was writing it, considering his identity as a gang leader, he might be easily reported, so I temporarily changed it. I will adjust the plot later!)
