Chapter 130: Who's Going to Take the Blame (4)
Through the dark brown private glass, the landscape outside the car looks very bleak.
Ji Mingjie sat in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz, pinching the position near the center of his eyebrows with his thumb and forefinger, trying to relax his spirit that had been tense for several months.
It can be said that since the plan to acquire Jardine Matheson was launched, Ji Mingjie has not slept more than six hours.
Although the Ji family's republic has deep roots and great influence, it is the Hong Kong dollar or the US dollar that has achieved the fastest results and the greatest influence in Hong Kong society.
If possible, it is really not a problem to crumble up the enterprises or state institutions affected by the Ji family to fully fund the acquisition of Jardine Matheson from the perspective of funds, the problem is that it is impossible to make such a thing into a mess in reality.
The difference between the so-called influence and absolute control can be said to be very different, a provincial governor can influence thousands of enterprises or institutions in the province, but if the governor wants to turn a company deeply affected by himself into cash, even if it is not put into his own pocket, he has to go through countless cumbersome procedures, and if he makes a mistake in the route or economy, he may go to Qincheng to recuperate.
Ji Mingjie is a very organized, very deep control of the person, the most disgusting word is accident, since coming to Hong Kong in the 70s to contact the life circle of Hong Kong's top rich, Ji Mingjie has lost interest in the puritanical life in China.
A hundred years of life pass in a hurry, the so-called history is purely a joke in Ji Mingjie's view, only living in the present is living for himself, and living in history is just material for future generations to talk about or fight, such as the founder of the republic who has just passed away less than 15 years ago.
Can great ideals and noble sentiments be eaten as food? Can they satisfy all the life pursuits of my life? Ji Mingjie has thought about it for a long time.
After getting a negative answer, Ji Mingjie chose to immigrate to Hong Kong and only pursue the present.
Although Ji Mingjie has been planning to realize the influence of the Ji family for a long time. But Ji Mingjie thinks he is a self-disciplined and reasonable person, and his background in a top cadre family makes Ji Mingjie quite proud.
This time, Tang Wan, at the instigation of Liang Yuan, took the opportunity of the great changes in the international situation to fish in the troubled waters of Hong Kong, giving Ji Mingjie considerable inspiration.
Since his third brother, Ji Minggong, is a well-known figure in the economic circles of the Republic, Ji Mingjie has long known that as long as the momentum of reform remains unchanged, then the Republic's accession to the GATT will be the trend of the times. The experience of the Republic in resuming GATT over the past few years also indicates that there will be fierce confrontations between the GATT signatories and the Republic in countless trade fields, and no matter which side makes the slightest concession, tens of billions of interests will be involved behind it.
With almost no effort, Ji Mingjie found a breakthrough to cut into Tang Wan's plan, and took the opportunity of Tang Wan to fish in troubled waters to make the water even more muddy.
In Ji Mingjie's view, although the influence of the Tang and Ning families was also spread throughout the military and political terms, they were confined to the north and their influence in Lingnan was very weak. It's best to do this kind of thing yourself.
If a tacit understanding is formed that the Republic will obtain the nominal control of Jardine Matheson by subscribing to two kinds of shares A and B respectively, Jardine Matheson will use the domestic funds of the Republic to simultaneously fill the gap in Jardine Matheson's divestment of Hong Kong, which not only holds the initiative, but also makes the whole process of running away like a drizzle of rain and waves.
In the future, before and after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, there will be a Ji family who has worked hard to stabilize the situation in Hong Kong. No one can say whether it is to buy a small number of shares that Jardine Matheson sold when it completely left Hong Kong, and a few high-level executives know about the two types of heavyweight stocks A and B. For example, like Tang Wan, with the ability of the Ji family, it can be assimilated in advance.
Even if it can't be assimilated, it is reasonable and legal to trade in the name of market transactions and free trade in Hong Kong, and at that time, the Ji family will put all the responsibility on Ji Mingjie alone, and everyone will be helpless to cross the river by feeling the stones. After all, in this era, the word "Zhulian" has long been inaudible.
Ji Mingjie is quite satisfied with his big plan, believing that the interests of everyone have been taken into account, the country has obtained a stable and prosperous Hong Kong, Jardine Matheson has successfully withdrawn huge funds, and there is a large trader with a history of hundreds of years like Jardine Matheson. In the future, there will be many more allies on the road to the reopening of the Republic.
Of course, the Ji family can also earn a little hard-earned money justifiably.
I have to say that Ji Mingjie is very thoughtful, whether it is the formulation of the plan or the people's understanding, there are few weaknesses at all.
It's a pity that Ji Mingjie never imagined that Tang Wan, who looks stable and generous, is just a memorial arch on the surface, and the black hand in the secret is actually a scumbag who uses Hong Kong's stability and prosperity as air.
In someone's eyes, Hong Kong's stability and prosperity are really inferior to the air, the so-called scarcity is precious, at this time there is only one modern international metropolis that is close to the Republic, Hong Kong, naturally as a sample as a treasure, holding it in the hand for fear of being frightened, holding it in the mouth for fear of melting.
In the era when Liang Yuan lived, cities like Hong Kong were full of prosperity in the republic, for Liang Yuan, who often traveled all over the world, Hong Kong was completely an ordinary passerby city, and even some old urban areas could be reminiscent of the fifth, sixth, and seventh tier counties of the republic.
"Does the second uncle have a headache again? Do you want me to help the second uncle rub it?" A delicate voice sounded in the Mercedes Benz.
"No, I talked to Gu Lusheng of the Gu family late last night, and the second uncle has slept less recently, and his forehead is a little tight. ”
"Since I went to a girls' school, I am much more sensible than before, I remember that when the old man was there, he had to use the plane to tempt him so that he reluctantly agreed to help beat his shoulder. Ji Mingjie said with a smile.
Ji Xixi is not only the only daughter of Ji Minglian, but also the only girl in the third generation of the Ji family.
Unlike the impostor little princesses who needed to squeeze trains like the twins in the early years, the young Ji Xixi once thought that there were only two long-distance means of transportation on this planet: cars and airplanes.
After the death of Mr. Ji, Ji Minglian found that his daughter was too ungrounded, and he wanted to send Ji Xixi to a top boarding girls' school in Europe, but Ji Minglian's wife Xu Muwei was reluctant to let her daughter go to Europe, and after a quarrel between the husband and wife, Ji Xixi finally went to Hong Kong to study.
