In front of the Connaught Building, Simon Keseff looked up at the 178.5-meter-high, 52-storey skyscraper, in 1970 when Jardine Matheson auctioned the current site of the Connaught Building, the average land price per square foot was 4,868 yuan, but this year, the land price here has risen to 26,247 yuan, 4.4 times more expensive than the original!

Jardine Matheson spent HK$150 million to build the Recreation Building, and from October 1970 to April 1973, it took only one and a half years to complete a record 'topping-out' ceremony, which shocked the entire Hong Kong at that time!

At that time, Connaught Building was the tallest building in Hong Kong and the whole of Asia, and it was not until this year that the Hopewell Centre was completed, surpassing Connaught Building to become the tallest building in Hong Kong!

Simon Keswick walked slowly into the Recreation Building, and did not stand long at the door of the Recreation Building, and when he looked up at the Recreation Building, he saw the lighted floor, and he thought that the cunning hunter was looking down on him from some dark corner.

Simon Keswick didn't like it.

Rong's Investment!

Night has fallen, at this time Rong Le should have been in his own woman's home, enjoying the food, the service of beautiful women, or in the luxurious private room of the Dynasty Restaurant, indulging in singing with friends, but now he has canceled his usual life and waited here, waiting for a fat sheep to be automatically delivered to the door.

Simon Keswick arrived as promised.

Rong Le stood up with a smile, shook hands with him, and greeted him. Simon Keswick even complained to Rong Le about the weather in Xiangjiang, but Rong Le said with a smile that he was used to the weather in Xiangjiang and didn't feel any difference.

From beginning to end, Rong Le didn't look at Niu Bijian with his eyes, even when Niu Bijian stretched out his hand and wanted to shake hands with Rong Le, Rong Le only raised his eyelids lightly and didn't make any movements.

Niu Bijian's face turned red, since he served as the Jardine Taipan, when has he suffered such humiliation in Xiangjiang, especially the person who humiliated himself is still the person he once looked down on.

Simon Keswick naturally saw the small movements between Rong Le and Niu Bijian, but he only curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and did not say anything.

Chen Qing and Ah Cai have already returned from Dongying, and because Rongle has to focus on the affairs of Jardine and Hongkong Land in the past few months, Rongle has not implemented the matter of convenience stores.

At this time, Chen Qing poured two cups of coffee for Simon Keswick and Niu Bijian, while Rongle poured two cups of coffee for Simon Keswick and Niu Bijian, and Rong Le's was a cup of superb Tieguanyin.

"Rongsheng's hand is beautiful, we admire Yihe!" Simon Keswick was the first to speak.

Rong Le smiled slightly and said, "I think so myself, Mr. Keswick is here to surrender this time?"

In response to Rong Le's rude provocation, Simon Keswick's face did not change, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, betraying his expression.

"It's impossible for Jardine to surrender, and Jardine will definitely not lose!" Simon Keswick wanted to use this firm tone to increase his momentum.

"Haha, if that is the case, then why did Mr. Keswick come? Is it to come up specifically to share this sentence with me? Mr. Keswick, don't forget, that I am now the largest private shareholder of Jardine Matheson, and that I can hold a board meeting tomorrow if I wish. Rong Le didn't care about Simon Keswick's momentum at all.

Simon Keswick's expression froze slightly, what Rong Le said was what he was powerless to refute, and said: "Since we have been given time to negotiate, I don't know what price Mr. Rong wants us to pay to give up the shares of Jardine and Land." ”

Rong Le laughed and said: "I like Mr. Keswick's pleasure, as long as Jardine Matheson Land can come up with Gammon Building, Wellcome supermarket chain, Alexandra Building, Mandarin Hotel, Prince Building, and the Connaught Building where we are now, then we may have a talk!"

"What?

Simon Keswick has not yet spoken, Niu Bijian has been firmly opposed, recently Hongkong Land is negotiating with the Hong Kong government, to build a number of valuable properties under Hongkong Land, including Connaught Building, Swire Building, Mandarin Hotel, Prince Building, Alexandra Building, Gloucester Building, Duke's Building and the Landmark under construction, all of which are connected to various places in the area such as the General Post Office and the Star Ferry Pier, if finally completed, Hongkong Land will become a country of its own in Central and become the heart of the whole Central!

And now Rong Le is about to go through the four buildings of Connaught Building, Mandarin Hotel, Prince Building, and Alexandra Building, which directly disrupts Hongkong Land's plan.

And also to add Gammon Construction, Gammon Construction was founded by John Gammon in India, and later in 1975, Jardine Matheson completely privatized Gammon Construction, and now Gammon Construction is the general contractor of many buildings in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region, commonly known as the big judge!

The types of works include commercial office buildings, residential buildings, shopping malls, hotels, community centres, factories, streets, bridges, railways, stations, tunnels, fresh water supply systems, sewage and waste treatment, etc.

It can be said that all the projects under construction of Hongkong Land are all done by Gammon Construction, and there are some other projects, if Kinmen Construction is lost, Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land will be in a very difficult situation.

Relatively speaking, Wellcome is less important in this bargaining chip.

Simon Keswick was also shocked by Rong Le's lion mouth, and when he looked at Rong Le, he felt that he was a giant python with a huge mouth open, ready to bite off the fattest place of Jardine and Land.

Just when Simon Keswick and Niu Bijian were shocked, Rong Le suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, there is another property, Starlight Xing!"

Simon Keswick's face was finally no longer as calm as before, and he was shocked by Rongle's lion's big mouth!

"Mr. Rong, if this is the case, I very much doubt the sincerity of your negotiations, and it is impossible for us to agree!"

Rong Le smiled: "Then I have to send off the guests." ”

Seeing that Rong Le was unwilling to give in, Simon Keswick's expression finally became hideous: "If that's the case, we have to see you in the stock market tomorrow!"

Rong Le waved his hand indifferently and said, "Yes, I know that Mr. Keswick should have already obtained a large loan amount from HSBC. But preaching cash, I don't think anyone else in Xiangjiang can do more than me!"

Simon Keswick glanced at Niu Bijian, Niu Bijian nodded, and Simon Keswick stood up and looked down at Rong Le, wanting to make himself look more imposing.

"Mr. Rong, have you made up your mind to be the enemy of our Keswick family? Don't forget that this is the Xiangjiang, the Xiangjiang of the British. ”

"Haha, Mr. Keswick, of course I haven't forgotten that this is Xiangjiang, but you don't forget, it's 1980, it's no longer the Xiangjiang of the sixties and seventies, and now is not the time for you to cover the sky with one hand, if I can, I really want to see what other big moves there are as the most glorious Jardine in the past!"

Rong Le leaned back in his chair, not taking Simon Keswick's threat to heart in the slightest.

Simon Keswick: "You'll know!"

At this time, the phone in Rongle's office rang......
