Although the situation is a little different, thanks to Xia Yu's orders to his subordinates to resolutely raise the stock price, and the help of other Chinese bigwigs, the stock price of Jardine Machinery Group has continued to climb after all.

The confidence in the instability of the market has been stabilized to a certain extent!

So by the end of the afternoon, the stock price had been raised to 78 Hong Kong dollars!

This price is more than 2.8 times the initial share price of 27.5 yuan per share!

It's a pity that today is Friday, so in the next two days, the stock market will be closed for adjustment, and investors will have to wait until next Monday if they want to see the change in the share price of Jardine Machinery Group!

Although the stock market is closed for adjustment, Xia Yu has not relaxed at all, and is still increasing his chips.

Half past six in the evening, in the lobby of The Peninsula Hotel!

Xia Yu and Wang Qi landed on the sofa in the luxurious leisure area on the left side of the hall, and the two chatted, but their eyes looked out of the door from time to time.

"Boss, someone is coming!"

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Wang Qi saw a figure coming from outside, and he immediately reminded him.

Hearing this, Xia Yu nodded slightly, and at the same time stood up and walked towards the door, Wang Qi also followed Xia Yu's pace step by step.

"Mr. Chen, good evening!"

When Xia Yu and Wang Qi came to the door, the person Xia Yu was waiting for also happened to come to the door, and the people on both sides recognized each other and accelerated their paces, and Xia Yu took the lead in reaching out and greeted warmly.

The person who came was none other than Chen Hongxing, the chairman of the Bank of China in Hong Kong!

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Wang, good evening, I'm really sorry to let you wait at the door!"

Mr. Chen hurriedly shook hands with Xia Yu and said with a hint of apology, but the tone of his voice was very sincere.

"It should be, it should be!"

Xia Yu smiled and said politely.

As he spoke, he looked at a middle-aged man who was half a body behind Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen immediately smiled and introduced: "Let me introduce you to the two of you, this is Song Weihua, the CEO of our bank who has just taken office. ”

"Hello, Mr. Song!"

Xia Yu and Wang Qi shook hands with Song Weihua one after another, and Song Weihua hurriedly responded with a smile.

"Standing at the door affects other people's business, or let's go in and talk about it in detail!"

"As it should be, please!"

"Please!"

Soon, the four of them came to the box that had been booked a long time ago, and not long after they sat down, the meals were served one by one, and in a short time, the table was full of delicacies with all kinds of delicacies.

Xia Yu is one of The Peninsula's top customers, so his services are completed as quickly as possible and with the best quality.

If ordinary people came, where could they have served the dishes so quickly!

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Song, the food is shabby, please take a break!"

Xia Yu made a gesture of please and said politely.

"Mr. Xia is too modest, this table is full of good dishes, I can't eat it once a year, and I enjoy your blessings today, haha, how can it be shabby!"

Chen Hongxing has been immersed in human affairs for many years, and his eloquence has also been honed very strongly, and when he talks to people, he can always speak comfortably.

"Haha!"

"You're welcome, let's move the chopsticks!"

"Mr. Xia, let's do it ourselves and move the chopsticks together!"

......

Pushing the glass and changing the glass, the wine passed three rounds, and the atmosphere gradually became stronger.

Chinese people like to talk about things at the wine table, and Xia Yu and Chen Hongxing are of course no exception.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Song, you also know that although Xiangjiang has been a place in China since ancient times, and the people living in it are basically Chinese, due to the problems left over from history, the status of our Chinese is not necessarily very high. ”

Xia Yu said with emotion.

Chen Hongxing, who is over half a hundred years old, nodded in agreement, his expression was also a little helpless, but his attitude was very firm: "This is caused by historical factors, and we can't help it, but we Chinese are hardworking and capable, dare to fight, and are extremely united with the outside world.

"Just like now, Mr. Xia has achieved such a high achievement at a young age, and he can still defeat the Jardine Matheson Consortium, which really strengthens my Chinese popularity!

"Thin wine in the glass, talk about respect!"

As he spoke, Chen Hongxing picked up his wine glass.

"Bang!"

Xia Yu also picked up the wine glass and sprayed it with Chen Hongxing, and the two drank the half of the wine left in the glass.

"Mr. Xia, to be honest, I have been in Xiangjiang for 12 years, and I have some understanding of Xiangjiang. ”

"But if you talk about the person I admire the most, it's not the ship king Bao Yugang, nor Li Zhaoji or Guo Desheng and others, but you, I'm definitely not telling a lie about this!"

Chen Hongxing continued to sigh.

Such a high evaluation made Xia Yu a little flattered and humble.

Chen Hongxing is the chairman of the Bank of China in Xiangjiang, and the Bank of China is a solid and powerful nail in the mainland in Xiangjiang, Chen Hongxing's status in the party will naturally not be low, and his high evaluation is so straightforward, which really makes Xia Yu's heart comfortable.

This has to be said about the special management system of the Bank of Hong Kong.

Normally, the chairman of a company is also the chief executive officer, but this is not the case with Bank of China.

After all, the Bank of China is too special, and the political tasks behind it are also very important, so of course we must choose carefully when choosing managers.

In order to avoid concentrating power in one person, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company are two separate persons, and the division of labour between the two is clearly defined in the Board's Duties Charter.

In short, the Chairman of the Board is the largest and is responsible for ensuring that the Board properly performs its functions and implements good corporate governance practices and procedures, and as Chairman of the Board, the Chairman is also responsible for ensuring that all Directors are properly informed of current matters and receive adequate, complete and reliable information in a timely manner.

The Chief Executive Officer, on the other hand, is responsible for leading the entire management and implementing the important strategies and development strategies adopted by the Board.

So when he came in today, Song Weiping, who was the executive president, would be half a body behind Chen Hongxing to show his humility!

"Chen Dong, you're too much, I'm embarrassed to say it, I still have self-knowledge, compared to other big guys, I'm still far behind, and there are still a lot of places to learn!"

Xia Yu waved his hand again and again and smiled modestly.

"Haha!"

Chen Hongxing and Song Weihua smiled kindly.

"Mr. Xia, take the liberty of asking, is there anything that needs our service in this battle for Jardine Machinery Group?"

The smile gradually subsided, Chen Hongxing's expression became a little solemn, and he asked.

After chatting for so long, the main topic is finally here!

Xia Yu's heart froze, his spirit became concentrated, and he said with some emotion: "Chen Dong, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude!"

"I really need your help with something!"

"The situation in the past two days, I think the two of you have also heard something, in order to stop our actions, the Jardine Matheson Consortium has resorted to all kinds of tricks, and they want my acquisition to fail. ”

"And I got the news that John Keswick, the helmsman of the Jardine Matheson Consortium today, has flown to Singapore, and this time has already arrived, and his purpose should also be guessed, which is to get the 5.24% stake in Temasek Investment Holdings. ”

"The Jardine Matheson Consortium originally had more equity in my hands than me, and if he took the equity in Temasek Investment Holdings, then this operation would be overshadowed!"
