Chapter 43: Before the Storm
Liang Haiping and Qi Lianshan knew a lot about Liang Yuan's plan, and when Liang Yuan said that Tang Wan was very likely to agree to Liang Yuan's mention some time ago, with the experience of the two, not only did their complexion change slightly.
On the contrary, Niu Bijian stood at the door of the room in confusion, looking at the scene in front of him with great interest.
After joining the company, after more contact with Liang Haiping and Qi Lianshan, Niu Bijian found a strange thing, from the daily speech and demeanor of receiving people and things, it can be seen that Liang Haiping or Qi Lianshan are not the ultimate leaders in the acquisition of Jardine Matheson.
With the huge plan to acquire Jardine Matheson and the central role he plays in it, no matter what, the people behind the scenes will not be stingy even to meet each other.
After Niu Bijian tried to use words several times, he was fooled by Liang Haiping and Qi Lianshan Gu and others, which made Niu Bijian extremely suspicious that Liang and Qi were agents of the official capital of the Republic.
However, with the timely participation of Deutsche Bank, Niu Bijian reversed his original judgment, in the current social environment, no matter how Deutsche Bank will not cooperate with national funds, and jointly plan a Fortune 500 company with huge influence, this kind of serious violation of the basic principles of the free world Deutsche Bank will not consider.
When Niu Bijian received the call, Qi Lianshan Youyan said that important people in the group needed the best legal counsel, but before ten minutes, Liang Haiping and Qi Lianshan jointly found Niu Bijian's office, not to mention an old fox like Niu Bijian, even a newcomer in the workplace can realize that this important person is not trivial.
Having worked on Hong Kong Island for many years, he has a deep network of contacts in Hong Kong society. Although his career was ruined by the defeat of Jardine Matheson, most of his personal relationship was preserved, and Norton Rock's partners Bao Jingzhi and Liu Ruijin, two Hong Kong Island senior barristers and Niu Bijian, have quite good personal friendships.
Considering that Liang Yuan mentioned that he would be promoted to the level of the Yuanjia Conference in the near future, Liang Haiping did not shy away from bringing Niu Bijian to the law firm in the same car.
Could it be that the young man in front of him is the junior of the person who is behind the scenes?
Listening to Liang Yuan's words that are very easy to arouse people's imagination, thinking about various things at work recently, Niu Bijian pondered the relationship between Liang Haiping, Qi Lianshan and the boy, and felt that the truth of the matter seemed to be covered by a light veil, which loomed and made people's hearts itch.
Liang Haiping and Qi Lianshan both knew that once Tang Wan decided to toss by Liang Yuan's temperament. What will happen in Hong Kong? Although I don't know what is surprising about this Ouyang Wenhui, he is favored by Liang Yuan to be an idler, but if he wants Ouyang Wenhui to be in a short period of time, this lawsuit is an excellent opportunity now.
Qi Lianshan first thought about the meaning of the idle man in Liang Yuan's words. Sure enough, as before, there was no clue. I simply stop thinking about the intricate relationships behind the problem. He said, "Since Da Shao has dug the pit, I will do the hard work of filling the soil." ”
"It's rare to meet a competitor who values me, and Lao Qi has to respect each other. Combining the domestic numbers is a bully for me, and it is good to only give the overseas part to the law firm. Liang Yuan said with a smile.
Not counting the textile channel exported to the Federal Republic of Germany, only in the domestic Sino-Soviet border trade, the Suifenhe market is booming, monopolizing half of the 300,000 tons of monthly capacity of Suifenhe Railway Station.
Only the single commodity of chemical fertilizer, Fengyuan Trade has achieved the scale of imports to 100,000 tons per month, excluding the cost of barter, national taxes, dividends at Suifenhe Station, personnel expenses and other expenses, fertilizer trade can bring more than 50 million net profits to Yuanjia every month.
Although Liang Yuan's ability to draw two German marks, US dollars and pounds and other currencies overseas is not weak, but this continuous flow of cash flow in China is the confidence for Liang Yuan to let go of tossing, after all, Yuanjia's roots are rooted in the Republic itself, and no matter how thick the overseas business is, it is only a large branch.
In the past six months, the global turnover of Shangri-La Electric, a subsidiary of Yuanjia, is about 200 million US dollars, and the turnover of Fengyuan Trade Europe is less than 400 million US dollars, which does not seem to be a lot.
What is the concept of a $600 million net profit in a global business?
NEC, the well-known Japanese semiconductor backbone company, had a net profit of $672 million in the past year, the French steel company Nord Steel, one of the top three in the global steel industry, had a net profit of $699 million last year, ThyssenKrupp, an industrial giant with a long history in the Federal Republic of Germany, had an annual net profit of only $586 million, and Michelin tires of the United States, which also has a dominant position in the industry, had an annual net profit of $561 million.
The Jardine Matheson, which has ruled Hong Kong Island for nearly 100 years, has made a net profit of less than US$500 million in the past year, and Li Chaoren, who is regarded as the god of management by Hong Kong people, has merged its Cheung Kong and Huang series of enterprises, and its annual profit has not exceeded 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Before the advent of the tide of science and technology marked by the network, communications, and mature semiconductor industries, the net profit of $600 million was already the mainstream level of the world's top 500 companies.
Don't look at Yuanjia at this time, after the net profit of Shangri-La and Fengyuan Trading, it is very likely to squeeze into the top two hundred of the world's top 500 companies.
There will be no more than 200 people in the world who can save Ouyang Wenhui, Qi Lianshan estimates that Ouyang Wenhui should not have anything to do with it, and even if it can be related, in terms of lost work pay, Ouyang Wenhui must find a way to prove that the company belongs to his own name in order to solve the problem, and this possibility is completely negligible.
The boss of Qi Lianshan's level has a good idea of Yuanjia's overall cash flow, and he can't help but smile when he hears Liang Yuan say this, this Ouyang Wenhui is really a good star, if there is no fork in the sale of Fengyuan Material Trade, Yuanjia is just a large-scale trader, how can it be possible to trample many world-class enterprises under his feet in terms of profitability.
While several people were talking, there was a soft knock on the door outside the room, and when Weng Chengji opened the door, a Chinese man in his forties and a white man in his fifties stood outside the door.
"Sir Bao, lawyer Liu. Niu Bijian looked at the visitor and greeted softly.
Both Bao and Liu are partners at Norton Rock, which serves as global legal counsel to CMB Aerospace, Hong Kong United Trust and the Asian Development Bank. At this time, Yuanjia was not listed, and it was a very pure private company, and strictly speaking, these two senior barristers were Liang Yuan's private legal counsel.
At this point, there is no difficulty in the follow-up, Liang Yuan was worried about Tang Wan's coming to Hong Kong, and completely handed over the dispute to Qi Lianshan to deal with.
When leaving the law firm, the big men brought by Han Daoben finally couldn't help but reveal the habits of the mixed society, blocked Liang Yuan's way, and said that his boss couldn't let people go without saying anything.
Now that the matter has been entrusted to Norton Roche and has begun to enter the judicial process, how can Liang Yuan still have the patience to deal with these eyesore.
Liang Yuan said to Weng Chengji that Aunt Ning was about to arrive, and then entered the sea lion bread with the two girls, and it took less than 20 seconds for Weng Chengji to remove all the arm joints of the five men blocking the road. In the midst of the wailing, the sea lion bread that looked very dirty was gone.
Wait until Han Daoben heard the sound and came out of the law firm. I didn't even see the tail of the sea lion bread, but Qi Lianshan put on a pose that I beat him, Lao Tzu has a lot of money, and I don't care about the medical expenses. If you have any complaints, you can go to the police. You are welcome to sue me for my nouveau riche appearance.
Kai Tak Airport Car Park.
Liang Yuan leaned back in the still wide leather seat. I was a little stunned when I looked at the busy traffic like a shuttle on JCDecaux Road.
Thinking that when the two girls chatted with him a few days ago, they said that Ning Jianzhong lost his temper not long ago because of the formation of the Three Gorges Province.
Needless to say, the significance of the Yangtze River and the Three Gorges Project to the Republic and even to the entire Chinese nation has not ceased to be discussed and prepared for the Three Gorges Project throughout the 80s.
However, it is limited to the poor economic situation in the Three Gorges reservoir area. The issue of immigration has always been a big problem, and this time Ning Jianzhong's anger stemmed from the concealment of the grassroots.
In order to demonstrate the necessity of the Three Gorges Project, the Three Gorges Provincial Preparatory Group filmed a film in the reservoir area entitled "The Call of the Poor Mountain," which reflected the local people's suffering from poverty and illness.
A deputy secretary general of the State Council insisted on not submitting the film to the State Council, on the grounds that this kind of film that reflects poverty cannot be shown to the leaders of the republic, and the leaders will definitely be in a bad mood after watching it.
In the end, the secretary-general's mantis arm blocked the car and did not play a role, and after the film was screened by the State Council, it caused a huge repercussion, and all the incumbent provincial 'committee' secretaries and provincial governors of the republic were gathered together to watch the film, and hundreds of copies were sent to the leaders and ministers of the republic.
Ning Jianzhong was shocked after seeing it, hid his face and wept, and sighed: "40 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, New China still has such a poor place, this is our dereliction of duty." ”
At that time, the two girls said Xiaoyuan with red circles in their eyes, that place is really desolate, because the drinking water is polluted by fluoride, many people have dental fluorosis, and many teenagers who are the same age as us have lost their teeth before they are old, and they look so pitiful when they eat.
Liang Yuan could not stand the pear blossoms and rain of the two girls, and promised that after the incident of Yihe, the three of them would jointly form a foundation to borrow Yuanjia's advantageous channels in the field of trade to contribute to the problem of poverty and disease in the Three Gorges Reservoir area.
Although the lid on poverty in the Three Gorges region has been successfully lifted, what is infuriating is that the secretary general who led considerately was not punished in any way, and still served as the secretary general.
In the 40 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has a quarter of the world's total population, and among this incomparably large group of people are incomparably strong communists such as Liang Jiangping and Ning Lei, as well as corrupt and degenerate people who are sanctimonious and take advantage of their tricks.
Although Liang Yuan has tried his best to push history into a fork in the road, this kind of contradiction that began to accumulate in the early days of reform and even the founding of the republic has reached the verge of eruption.
In less than 20 minutes, Tang Wan's flight is about to arrive in Hong Kong, and Liang Yuan knows that Tang Wan's visit to Hong Kong this time will be different.
With the eruption of the volcano, Hongkong Land's acquisition will also start, although Liang Yuan boldly mentioned a plan to Tang Wan to attack the east and the west, but Liang Yuan really did not think that Tang Wan had the possibility of agreeing.
Could it be that Aunt Ning really decided to make a big deal in Hong Kong by her own temperament? Liang Yuan thought with some apprehension. (To be continued......)
