On the first day of the New Year in 1984, two major events occurred in Hong Kong.

Or rather, three big things.

The first is that at 9 o'clock in the morning, the director of Jardine Matheson, Niu Bijian, issued a brief statement at the press conference of Jardine Matheson, saying that he would resign from all positions in the Jardine Matheson family.

Niu Bijian has been in Xiangjiang for many years, and Jardine Matheson has prospered in his hands, but it has also been difficult in his hands in recent years and has done many wrong things.

For this person, everyone's evaluation is two-sided, and they feel that he has mixed achievements, but he is definitely a trendsetter in this era.

No one can ignore the influence of Nurtur on Hong Kong in the past 10 years.

I thought that this would be the curtain call of an era, and the next step for Jardine Matheson was to see Simon Keswick.

In fact, the middle half of the process was indeed led by Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land's new senior director, Simon Keswick.

He explained to the reporters his future approach to managing the company.

Keswick said that he believes that the failure of overseas investment is an important reason for the stock price of Jardine Matheson, so he will sell a large number of overseas assets in the next year to reduce losses.

Subsequently, Hongkong Land will also significantly reduce its investment in Xiangjiang, especially in addition to real estate, so as to concentrate on the development of real estate business, and strive to get rid of other companies that have caught up again, and maintain its position as the No. 1 real estate company in Xiangjiang.

Keswick, of course, didn't just say nothing.

He still has dry goods.

At the press conference, he issued two decisions.

Before the Spring Festival, Hongkong Land will place 72 million shares of Jardine Matheson at HK$12.3 per share, which is expected to cash out HK$880 million.

After selling so many shares, Hongkong Land's stake in Jardine Matheson fell by 25.3% from 42.6%.

At the same time, Jardine Matheson also sold a portion of its shares in Hongkong Land at the market price, thereby reducing Jardine Matheson's shareholding in Hongkong Land from 30% to 25%.

Both companies hold about 25% of each other's shares, which may seem a bit dangerous, but in fact, this strategy of separating the two companies is the best for them.

Jardine Matheson is actually a comprehensive company, and their overall business is still profitable.

If Hongkong Land hadn't lost too much money in Xiangjiang, it would not have affected Jardine Matheson, which holds 30% of its shares, and the stock prices of both companies plummeted.

Now that Hongkong Land has been separated and all of Hongkong Land's non-real estate businesses have been sold, Hongkong Land has since focused on real estate development, while Jardine Matheson has continued its solid business policy.

So on the surface, Keswick's strategy is a great benefit, which makes the reporters present very excited, thinking that it is not the Jardine Matheson family that is going to take the lead in rising.

Xiangjiang's economy has been sluggish for too long, and if the powerful Jardine Matheson takes the lead, it will definitely be a good sign.

To be honest, although the Kirin Group has been in the limelight in recent years, in the eyes of many old-fashioned Xiangjiang people, Jardine Matheson is the first in Xiangjiang.

If they are driven, I believe there will be a lot of grandparents and grandparents who will buy it and follow up!

Seeing the happy and excited looks of the reporters, Keswick smiled coldly in his heart.

Of course, he knows what everyone thinks, but he can only say that these people are simply too naïve.

Xiangjiang is such a mess, how could Jardine Matheson get into it again?

Wait, you'll know in a few months what I'm going to do!

When he announced the end of the press conference with a smile on his face, the reporters wanted to gather around and get some inside information.

Unexpectedly, after explaining his resignation, Niu Bijian, who didn't say a word, suddenly picked up the microphone in front of him at this time.

"Delay everyone's time. Niu Bijian raised his voice a little.

The reporters who rushed to Keswick were stunned when they heard this, and then stopped and turned to look at him.

None of them wanted to interview Niu Bijian anymore, because he was already in the past tense and would not work in Xiangjiang anymore, so what was there to interview?

Niu Bijian didn't care, he smiled slightly, "Since the press conference of Jardine Matheson is over, then I want to announce another private decision of my own." ”

Seeing that the reporters hurriedly pricked up their ears, Niu Bijian didn't look at Simon Keswick's ugly face, and said directly: "The next job of the contemptible person is not to go to the treasure island, but to go to the United States to serve as the executive vice president of the American Disney Company, responsible for the operation and development of Disneyland." ”

"Oh!?"

The crowd was agitated almost instantly.

They used the posture of running 100 meters to chase in front of Niu Bijian, and stuffed the voice recorder and camera in front of him, which was extremely violent.

"Mr. Taipan, why would you want to go to Disney?"

"When did you get in touch with Joon-so?"

"Could it be that this is the so-called no fighting, no acquaintance, Jun Shao appreciates your strength, so he poached you?"

"Have you ever considered that working for a former enemy will make your life hard?"

"Taipan, you have no previous experience in managing game parks, what are you going to do when you go to Disney, or what are you going to do with Junshao?"

"Mr. Niu Bijian, please tell me!"

“……”

If Keswick just thought that Niu Bijian was a little uninteresting just now, now he has completely stolen the limelight.

And Niu Bijian just announced his resignation from Jardine Matheson, and immediately went to work in the company of his old rival Yin Jun, isn't this a slap in his face Keswick?

Seeing Niu Bijian talking eloquently to the reporters, Keswick turned around and left.

Wait and see!

When you mess things up in the United States, Yin Jun won't think about the old relationship like I do, and you will cry when the time comes!

……

New's announcement of his resignation and next stop is a big deal.

Keswick's first exposition of his reform of the Jardine Matheson family was also a big event.

But these two things together are not as big as the sensation caused by the third thing.

Because on this day, Ho Hongshen, chairman of SJM Group, announced in Omen in a high-profile manner that he would personally cross the sea today to apologize to his old brother Ye Han, asking him to forgive his mistakes over the years, hoping to smile and grudge.

Boy.

Hearing the news, more than 300 reporters alone went to the Austrian Gate, while the press conference of Jardine Matheson was only about 60 reporters.

These reporters followed Ho Hongshen from Aomen all the way to Xiangjiang and to Ye Han's villa on the top of the mountain.

In fact, on the side of Ye Han's villa, there were also more than 100 reporters, all of whom wanted to see if Ye Han would let He Hongshen in.

After all, in the past few decades, the grievances between He Hongshen and Ye Han have long become the daily life of people in Xiangjiang, and many people have grown up listening to their stories.

He Hongshen has a stubborn temper, and Ye Han's temper is even more stubborn.

Ye Han has suffered so many losses in the hands of He Hongshen over the years, and the two have long been enemies of life and death, and they did not fire directly, which is already the greatest restraint.

Now that He Hongshen is affected by the gambling boat, he wants to apologize to Ye Han, can Ye Han spare him so easily?

Everyone doesn't know, but they wish they knew sooner.

The live TV broadcast was divided into two groups, one was at the door of Ye Han's villa, and the other side sailed all the way to Ye Han's villa with the fleet and convoy.

Many people who watched the excitement felt that if Ye Han embarrassed He Hongshen on the spot, and then He Hongshen went crazy, it would be better-looking.

But things weren't what they thought.

When the reporters on the mountain received the news that He Hongshen's motorcade was already on the way up, Ye Han's villa, which had been closed all along, slowly opened the gate.

Ye Han, who was wearing a red Chinese robe, personally led his family and stood at the gate.

Reporters were in an uproar.

In this way, he must be waiting for Ho Hongshen.

I went out to greet me in person, and I brought my family with me, this treatment is quite high!

Ten minutes later, Ho Hongshen's motorcade arrived at the door of the villa.

Seeing Ye Han standing there, He Hongshen hurriedly stopped the car at the door, got out of the car quickly, and strode towards Ye Han.

Ho Hongshen also happened to be wearing a red Chinese robe today, and when the two stood together, they looked very compatible.

The moment the two of them clasped their hands, the camera and video camera flashed.

The two did not hug each other, there were no tears on their faces, and their opposite expressions were a little serious, but this kind of performance was the most sincere.

If you hug your head and cry as soon as you meet, it will seem too fake.

How can decades of grievances and grievances dissipate so easily?

After shaking hands, the two smiled and said a few words, and then returned to the villa hand in hand, during which they did not say a word to reporters or make any statements.

This makes the reporters who have been waiting for so long quite frustrated.

You know, everyone has been brewing for so long, and you are so perfunctory to us?

Why don't you issue a joint statement and tell me how you got in touch and how you got to do this?

But no one wanted to leave.

After all, the reconciliation of the two gambling kings will have an impact on the Aomen gambling industry and the gambling boat industry on the high seas, which is simply too eye-catching news.

Ho didn't disappoint either.

After lunch, after He Hongshen's car drove out of the gate of the villa, he also stopped the car and said a few simple words in the face of the reporters who were chasing and intercepting him.

"Brother Han and I are old friends, and although we can't go back to the old days now, I hope we at least don't become enemies. ”

"There is nothing happier than making an old friend forgive himself, I am very happy today, and I hope Brother Han will be happy in the future!"

"I didn't say specifically, everything is decided by Brother Han himself, and I can't interfere. ”

"Brother Han will not return to SJM in the future, but he promised me that he would give me some advice when I need his help!"

"The gambling industry in Omen has to change? That's what you said, we think it's still good, and the model of gambling on the high seas shouldn't last long. ”

“……”

Ho Hongshen's words contain a lot of meanings.

Everyone is not stupid, of course, they heard that Ye Han had accepted his apology and was willing to give in on the gambling ship on the high seas.

But although the gambling ship on the high seas was raised by Ye Han, at this time, the bigwigs of all countries were involved, so was it so easy to quit?

Ye Han can forgive He Hongshen and close his gambling boat, but others will not buy He Hongshen's account.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, no matter how appealing Ye Han is, it is impossible to make them all obedient.

Gambling on ships is really a good deal, who wants to give it up?

However, looking at He Hongshen so confident, everyone thinks, is there still some secrets that have not been revealed?

It's really interesting, and it's necessary to explore it!
