A huge rocking chair sits in the office on the top floor of the Jardine House, visible through the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass of the various boats in the Victoria Bay area.

Liang Yuan sat on a rocking chair in a set of big pants at home, and next to the rocking chair was a dark brown low table, on which were stacks of documents several inches high.

Quickly flipping through the documents in his hand, until the last page, Liang Yuan stared intently at his signature like a quantum cipher for a long time.

Liang Yuan turned his head abruptly to look at Qi Lianshan who was standing behind him, and asked with some confusion: "Old Qi, do you think I should make up a handprint or something on this historic document." ”

Faced with this kind of brain pumping problem that suddenly appeared from the big boss, Qi Lianshan could only helplessly spread his hands and make a casual expression.

"Ahh Ha ha.... ”

Liang Yuan grabbed his hair a little embarrassed, suddenly slammed the document in his hand on the low table beside him, jumped up from the rocking chair very quickly, rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window and slapped the tempered glass with his palm, and shouted excitedly in the direction of the bay: "I declare that from now on, Lao Tzu is the uncrowned king of Hong Kong~~OHOH~~." ”

Qi Lianshan stood honestly, watching Liang Yuan quietly vent the emotions that had accumulated for a long time.

It can be said that since he went to the Federal Republic of Germany in April, Liang Yuan spent more than half a year finally finding a qualified nurse for the infant Shangfei.

No one can imagine how much pressure Liang Yuan, who made this series of key decisions, was under and what kind of inner torment he experienced.

Thinking back to the ups and downs of the past six months, and the international situation that has been unrecognizable at this time, Qi Lianshan suddenly felt as if he was in the clouds.

The documents that Liang Yuan threw on the low table were scattered messily, and under the dark blue document cover, several Chinese-English characters the size of standard No. 5 were revealed:

"Since December 1, 1989. Jardine Matheson Strategic Holdings Limited has transferred its primary listing to London, UK, with the expectation of ending the ...... of secondary listing in Hong Kong within three years. ”

With immediate effect, Jardine Matheson Strategic Holdings Limited transferred all its shares to South Africa's 1024 International Investment Group ....... ”

At this time, the organizational structure of Jardine Matheson Group is very different from that when Jia Xiaosheng and Li Chaoren jointly acquired Hongkong Land a few years ago.

At the beginning, Jardine Matheson Holdings and Hongkong Land held shares in each other's shares, which was a structural way to defend the controlling stake of Jardine Matheson in the late 70s in order to prevent a Chinese consortium from peeking into the assets of Jardine Matheson.

With the passage of time and the change of time of Niche Kin, Simon Kaisak, who took over the control of the Jardine Group, was eager to have Chinese assets to take over the business of Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong. It's just that Caesar is not satisfied with the bid of Jia Xiaosheng and others to take advantage of the fire.

In 1987, Jardine Matheson Group underwent a major reorganization, when three listed companies listed in Hong Kong, Jardine Matheson Holdings, Jardine Securities, and Hongkong Land, jointly invested to form Hong Kong Investors Limited.

Hongkong Land injected all its 12.5% stake in Jardine Matheson into the new company, and after a dazzling merger and reorganization, Hongkong Land became a relatively simple listed real estate commercial company, and the original subsidiaries of Hongkong Land, such as Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Dairy International Holdings, were spun off and listed.

As a result, all of the Jardine Matheson's operations in Hong Kong were broken down into separate and unrelated subsidiaries, and the control of all subsidiaries was consolidated under the control of Jardine Matheson Strategic Holdings Limited, which was incorporated in Bermuda.

Jardine Matheson Strategic Holdings, Inc., registered in Bermuda. It includes four Hong Kong-listed flagship subsidiaries: Hongkong Land, Mandarin Oriental, Dairy International Holdings, and Jardine Matheson.

Under the four flagship subsidiaries, there are branches responsible for specific businesses, such as Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals, Gammon Construction, and Jardine Shipping under Jardine Pacific, such as Maxim's Food, Wellcome, 7-Eleven, etc., which are owned by Dairy Cow International.

After the restructuring of the Jardine Matheson Group, the Bermuda-registered Jardine Matheson strategy can be said to be the brain and nerve center of the entire Jardine Matheson Hong Kong business, the four flagship listed companies are the trunk of the Jardine Matheson Group based in Hong Kong, and the subsidiaries responsible for the specific business are the tentacles of Jardine Matheson to extend to Hong Kong society.

For more than 100 years, Jardine Matheson has firmly inserted itself into Hong Kong's economic and social life through this octopus-like organizational structure, and now. Jardine's brain and nerve center have completely fallen into Liang Yuan's control.

Of course, the reason why the Kaisax family completely abandoned its own economic network that had spread across Hong Kong after more than 100 years of hard work. What was obtained was by no means ordinary, and the shares that were delivered simultaneously with Bermuda Jardine Strategic Holdings Co., Ltd. were all the shares belonging to Fengyuan International Investment Co., Ltd., which had just been established in Bermuda under Yuanjia.

Fengyuan International Investment Co., Ltd., also registered in Bermuda, is a pure holding enterprise without any actual business, and the only stock currently under management of Fengyuan International Investment is 9% of the original shares of Deutsche Telekom in the reorganization.

In this series of transactions, Yuanjia acquired 20.9% of the shares of Hongkong Land, a Hong Kong-listed company, with a market value of approximately HK$3.3 billion, a 63% stake in Jardine Pacific, a Hong Kong-listed company, with a market value of approximately HK$6.527 billion, a 70% stake in a Hong Kong-listed Mandarin Oriental Hotel, with a market value of approximately HK$1.425 billion, and a 58% stake in Dairy International Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong-listed company, with a market value of approximately HK$6.96 billion.

It can be said that through this transaction. The Kaisax family transferred about HK$18.2 billion of wealth from Hong Kong at one time.

However, compared with Fengyuan International Investment Company, which owns 9% of the shares of Deutsche Telekom and has a market value of more than 26 billion Hong Kong dollars even with the lowest valuation, the 18.2 billion Hong Kong dollars of Jardine Matheson shares owned by the Kaisarc family can only be exchanged for about 70% of the shares of Fengyuan International Investment Company, and cannot be exchanged for all the shares of Fengyuan International at all.

If the additional 10% or so of Fengyuan International Investment required by New Bijian to seduce the Kaiser family and the minority shareholders of Hongkong Land to sign a share exchange agreement at the beginning, after the completion of all the share swaps, 20% of the shares of Fengyuan International Investment will still be in the hands of Yuanjia.

The Kaisarc family in order to become the majority shareholder of this European telecommunications giant. While paying for the entire Jardine Hong Kong business, he also joined hands with a small number of middle shareholders of Hongkong Land to carry out arduous negotiations with New Bijian, and finally paid an additional US$1.667 billion in cash, and finally got his wish to pocket the entire investment of Fengyuan International.

In the cash-for-share transaction, Nurbijian unceremoniously directly premiumed the remaining 20% shares of Fengyuan International by one and a half times for a price of HK$13 billion, and the cash transaction and equity transaction were rigidly linked together through documents.

Of course, compared to the future increase in the value of Deutsche Telekom's stock after the listing of at least three times, Simon Kaisark just made less, and the opportunity to safely double more than a billion dollars on this planet is something that many businessmen will never encounter even in their lifetime.

After the transaction, Jardine Matheson's traditional power in Southeast Asia was not damaged, and only the interests of Hong Kong were used, and Simon Kaisaker fulfilled the family's long-standing dream of returning to the world's economic center - Europe.

Two to three years later, the Kaisarc family transformed itself into a leading European technology company, a supergiant in the telecommunications industry, and a majority shareholder of Deutsche Telekom.

If 9% of the shares owned by the original Hongkong Land shareholders are enough to enable Simon Kaiser to step into the board of directors of the reorganized Federal Telekom, a new industry, a new field, and a new profit point will slowly unfold in front of the family.

The same is true for Liang Yuan, after Yuanjia took over Jardine Matheson's business power in Hong Kong for nearly a hundred years, Liang Yuan's uncrowned king of Hong Kong is not casually said.

Yuanjia will become the largest landowner in the Central area of Hong Kong, Yuanjia will become the boss of Hong Kong's retail industry, Yuanjia will become a monopoly giant in Hong Kong's catering industry, Yuanjia will become a giant in Hong Kong's transportation field, and Yuanjia will become a giant in Hong Kong's construction field...

There are many, many similar descriptions, and a new field and a new world are also slowly unfolding in front of Liang Yuan.

Shaking the long-sleeved T-shirt that he had just taken off with his hand, Liang Yuan slowly recovered from his excitement.

Blowing lightly, Liang Yuan glanced at Qi Lianshan, who was standing quietly behind him, smiled, and said: "In fact, in a sense, this acquisition can be regarded as the return of things to the original owner, does Lao Qi know the historical Jardine Matheson? It is the one that copied the name of Jardine Matheson when it was founded." ”

In 1832, the predecessor of the Jardine Matheson Group, Jardine Matheson, was officially established in Hong Kong by the British, William Jardine and James Madison, who copied the time-honored Wu family name "Jardine Matheson".

"I almost have to memorize the history of Jardine Matheson's family, of course this kind of thing is clear. ”

"Although Jardine Matheson finally developed from Wu Bingjian to a world-renowned large-scale multinational organization in the 19th century, I firmly believe that the word Jardine Matheson will definitely get more glory in the hands of Da Shao than it was back then. Qi Lianshan said with a smile.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Qi Lianshan suddenly come out with such a sycophant, and said: "Wu Bingjian was recognized as the richest man in the world back then, and his popularity overseas may not be comparable even if he is the founder of the Republic, Lao Qi, your requirements are really not low."
