Chapter 328： Happily too early (1/2)

? There are two flowers and one branch each.

After Charles Keswick returned to the family, he told his father John Keswick about the situation and asked the family to inject a certain amount of money to rescue the market.

John Keswick is 62 years old and has two sons under his knees, the eldest son Henry and the second son Charles.

Old John took over the position of patriarch from his cousin, and the Jardine Consortium flourished in his hands. After being listed in 1961, it developed rapidly and its assets continued to expand, establishing its position as the number one British consortium in the Far East.

It's a pity that although old John was outstanding when he was young, he was so romantic. He didn't have his first son until middle age. Although he is only 61 years old now, his body is very poor, even five or six years ago. Up.

But the two sons can't provoke the big responsibility. Old John is selfish and doesn't want to give the position of the head of the family to others, he just wants to choose an heir from the two sons.

Taking precautions, Old John put his confidant absolutely in the position of the president of Jardine Group, put his other confidants in other core enterprises, and controlled remotely by himself to cultivate health and rest in order to live for a few more years, until two sons. Until the success of success.

Although he no longer manages the business himself, the old John also knows a lot about the various enterprises within the Jardine consortium.

It was he who judged that the Hong Kong Air Cargo Industry was promising at the beginning and invited the Governor to entertain him. Finally, through a secret transaction, he won the exclusive right to operate the air cargo industry. This was how the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company appeared today.

At this time, I heard the second son talk about the situation, and the old John, who had been accustomed to the wind and waves, looked calm and asked: ”How much money do you need?”

Charles Keswick thought for a while and said: ”There is still 14 million funds in the company. Before I came, other directors had also provided funds, so I think that we should spend 50 million.”

After that, Charles Keswick looked at his father expectantly.

Old John heard the words and shook his head slowly. When Charles Keswick was disappointed, he said: ”You are too simple to think. Don't consider other directors. It is stupid to put hope on others. I will give you Allocate one hundred million of funds to enter the account of the cargo station company in the name of Jardine Pacific, entrust the cargo station company to purchase stocks, and externally claim that the company will buy back stocks, understand?”

”In addition, contact other shareholders to buy their stocks!”

Charles Keswick was overjoyed but also a little confused. He didn't know what his father was doing so complicated. He opened his mouth and just wanted to ask. Old John shook his head and interrupted him: ”You go back to the company now, as I said. Do it, and report to me immediately if there are special circumstances, and the funds will soon be transferred to the account of the cargo station company.”

”Good father!”

Charles Keswick nodded respectfully, and then quickly left the living room.

As soon as Charles Keswick went out, Old John picked up the phone and dialed a number: ”Hey, this is John Keswick, you send someone to immediately transfer 100 million yuan in funds...”

Putting down the phone, Old John's muddy eyes became sharp, and he smelled conspiracy.

For Jiuding Securities, as well as Xia Yu, the newly emerging Chinese rich man, old John certainly knew, and he also knew what power Xia Yu's energy would be when it was put on the stock market.

When Charles reported to him just now, he suspected that it was Jiuding Securities. Old John didn't say much, but he must have been Jiuding Securities in an instant.

At that moment, a sense of crisis lingered in his mind. This was his intuition that he had worked hard for many years in the business world, so he knew that there must be danger.

As for the motive and purpose of Jiuding Securities, Old John has speculations, but he is still not sure, but in his opinion, it is definitely not as simple as suppressing the stock price or short selling.

Now Jardine Pacific Air Cargo owns 35.85% of the shares of Jardine Air Cargo Station, and Jardine Pacific is 100% controlled by the Keswick family, so the equity belonging to the Keswick family is 35.85%.

This equity ratio can only be considered general for controlling the safety of the company. The safest way is to raise the equity ratio above 50%.

Jardine Air Cargo Terminal is a dominating structure. Other directors do not have much equity. If you add the equity of other shareholders, the entire board of directors owns about 49% of the equity.

But Old John is well aware of the complexity of people's hearts. In the face of money, other directors are likely to betray, so the safest and safest way is to have absolute controlling rights.

It is precisely this consideration that he will say that he wants to buy stocks in the actual name of Jardine Pacific, and the investment of 100 million yuan is to be foolproof.
