In the late 90s, before the construction of the Hong Kong International Finance Centre project, Jardine House was definitely the top commercial skyscraper in the Central area of Hong Kong closest to Victoria Bay.

In the direction of the Jardine Matheson Building facing the bay, only a little more than 100 meters away is the Pier 9 in Central.

Ji Mingjie did not enter the underground parking lot of Jardine Matheson Building with the car, but got off the car at the atrium fountain in front of the main entrance of the building.

Standing on the terrazzo marble in the atrium square, Ji Mingjie looked up along the unique round windows of the Jardine Matheson Building to the top of the building, a breeze blew, and the mist stirred up by the fountain in the atrium gently passed by Ji Mingjie.

Feeling the slight wetness on his face, Ji Mingjie's thoughts fluttered in the wind, in the near future, I will definitely become the owner of this beautiful building, Ji Mingjie thought firmly.

Retracting his ambitious gaze and slowly taking a deep breath, Ji Mingjie strolled up the stairs in front of the main entrance of Jardine.

I have to say that at this moment, Ji Mingjie really has confident capital, and in the past 24 hours, Ji Mingjie has reached an agreement with Gu Lusheng, and in the next half a month, the Gu family will mobilize at least 2 billion Hong Kong dollars to support Ji Mingjie's acquisition plan.

So far, the funds that can be used by Ji Mingjie have exceeded 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and if you count the short-term loan financing, the funds in Ji Mingjie's hands are close to 15 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Hongkong Land is also the most important cornerstone of Jardine Matheson assets in Hong Kong, as long as it wins several other Jardine Matheson listed companies of Hongkong Land - Jardine Pacific, Dairy Cow International and other companies will fall into the hands of Ji Mingjie sooner or later.

After all, most of the properties leased by operating projects such as Wellcome Supermarket, 7-Eleven Convenience Store, and Maxim's Foods are commercial properties owned by Hongkong Land, and commercial land rent is definitely one of the important factors affecting the profit and loss of the above-mentioned enterprises.

Along the dark brown revolving door, Ji Mingjie had just walked into the lobby of Jardine House, but found that the elevator door on the right side in front of him was slowly closing. A familiar figure was talking to the elevator door.

In the blink of an eye, the silver-gray elevator door was completely closed, and Qi Lianshan's face flashed in Ji Mingjie's sight.

What is he doing in Jardine Building? Countless question marks flashed in Ji Mingjie's mind.

Ji Mingjie is very familiar with the background information of Qilian Mountain, and knows that this so-called patriotic overseas Chinese is very complicated, and has a very close relationship with Ning Lei and Tang Wan.

Absentmindedly pressed the elevator button a few times, and while waiting for the elevator, Ji Mingjie tried to recall Tang Wan's recent moves in Hong Kong. Until another elevator arrived, Ji Mingjie didn't expect that Tang Wan had anything wrong in Hong Kong recently.

None of the listed companies under the Jardine Matheson family has issued an announcement indicating that there has been a change in the majority equity of more than 5%, and it seems that everything is under control.

"Da Shao, Mr. Tang, I seem to have seen General Manager Ji just walk in from the main entrance of the building. Qi Lianshan said to Liang Yuan, who was standing diagonally opposite him.

When Ji Mingjie saw Qilian Mountain, there was only one line left in the elevator door, with his back to the elevator door leaning on the side wall of the elevator Liang Yuan and Tang Wan standing beside Liang Yuan, Ji Mingjie couldn't see it at all.

"Aunt Ning, will Mr. Ji jump up at the press conference for a while?" Liang Yuan asked with a smile.

Liang Yuan and Qi Lianshan had just received Tang Wan on the first floor of the building, and if Ji Mingjie had arrived five minutes earlier, the two groups would have just met in the atrium on the ground floor of the building.

Tang Wan glared at Liang Yuan. Ignore someone who is careful.

The light green halo flickered a few times and then firmly put it on the number 28, Ji Mingjie reached out and straightened the bow tie on the neckline, and the elevator door slowly opened in front of Ji Mingjie's eyes.

Walking out of the elevator on the 28th floor, Feng Feng, the driver who came up first, was already waiting at the door of the elevator room with a briefcase.

Seeing Ji Mingjie walk out of the elevator, Simon Kaisark's secretary Mary stood up from the reception, walked over with a smile and said, "Mr. Ji, Chairman Simon is waiting for you in the office. ”

During this period, basically every other week, Ji Mingjie would go to Jardine Matheson Building to negotiate with Kaiser on the issue of share transfer.

Of course, the so-called negotiation is bargaining, plus Ji Mingjie exerts pressure on Kaisark. Although Kaisark was not happy with Ji Mingjie's attitude of taking advantage of the fire to rob, the situation of not speculating between the two accounted for most of the cases. But Kaisark did not completely close the door to negotiations.

In Caesarke's actual planning, Ji Mingjie mostly played the role of "trust", which has been used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with New Bijian these days.

In fact, if Yuanjia had not provided another option for Kaisark, it would have been a pity that Ji Mingjie, who controlled the scale of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, would not have been able to compromise with Ximen? People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away, fate chose Ji Mingjie to be the one who was thrown.

Pushing open the heavy door of Kaisark's office, Ji Mingjie found that Kaisark's office was very lively, and three or four unfamiliar white faces who had never seen before were sitting on the reception sofa of Kaisark and discussing something.

"Oh. Oh, and welcome to Jardine's next owner, President Ji. ”

Simon Kaisax greeted him with a big smile and gave Ji Mingjie a warm hug.

"Where did Chairman Simon start with this?" Ji Mingjie's English was quite good, and he accurately grasped the key content of Simon Kaisark's words.

Simon Kaisaker blinked his wrinkled eyelids and said with a look that you know and I understand: "President Ji must have studied your country's business bible - Sun Tzu's Art of War in depth, and the strategy of attacking the east and west is very wonderful. ”

These are all old friends of the Kaiser family and one of the shareholders of Hongkong Land. Simon Caesar stretched out his hand to introduce the white men who were near the couch.

Listening to Caesar's introduction that these white people in front of him were also shareholders of Hongkong Land, Ji Mingjie's eyes lit up, and while greeting everyone enthusiastically, he quickly thought about Simon Caesar's intentions.

Could it be that this old guy has already learned the news that I have joined forces with the Gu family and is planning to compromise? Ji Mingjie secretly pondered.

Gu Lusheng is not only well-known in the Hong Kong business community, but also one of the few wealthy Chinese in Southeast Asia.

Although Gu Lusheng is the eldest among the Gu brothers, he is respectfully called Gu Sanye in the Hong Kong business circle, and in the early years, Gu Lusheng was nicknamed Gu Sanduo by Hong Kong people - more money, more land, and more wives.

With the Gu family's huge influence throughout Southeast Asia and the close relationship between HSBC in Hong Kong, it can be said that if the Gu family were to participate in the acquisition of Jardine Matheson, Simon Kaisark would have to carefully consider the huge costs of resisting the acquisition and the probability of resisting success.

The voice in this old guy's mouth didn't mean that there was something new on Tang Wan's side? It made this old guy feel a huge pressure? Thinking of Qi Lianshan, who had just caught a glimpse of Qilianshan, the question in Ji Mingjie's heart was like a series of huge bubbles rising in the water, and the ping-pong in his mind kept popping up and exploding.

After the greetings, before Ji Mingjie could find an opportunity to continue to delve into the topic just now, Simon Kaisak looked at the British classical grandfather clock in the corner of the office and said, "The time for the press conference is coming soon, do you want Mr. Ji to go to the conference hall on the seventh floor with us?"

Simon Kaisax rang the rattle bell as he spoke, calling the administrative secretary outside.

"Chairman Simon, I wonder what the topic of this press conference is?"

"It's just a matter of talking to friends in the media about the future of Jardine Matheson. ”

Ji Mingjie was overjoyed in his heart, combined with the greeting when he just entered the door, listening to Simon Kaisark's meaning should be clearly let go of Yihe.

However, although Tang Wan or herself are buying Jardine's shares on a large scale, the list has never exceeded the 5% warning line that must be announced, and there are still 108,000 miles away from the next owner of Jardine in the mouth of Simon Kaisark, and there is no need to hold a press conference at all during this period, what is going on?

Feeling that several layers of fog seemed to linger in front of him, covering up the truth of the matter, Ji Mingjie's heart tightened suddenly. (To be continued.) )
