Chapter 497: Greedy Rongle (4/5, Subscription Requested)
The voice of the phone was very abrupt, Rong Le didn't expect that at this time, someone would call the company, but when he looked at Simon Keswick's slightly calmed expression, Rong Le had a plan in his heart, glanced at Chen Qing, and motioned for her to answer the phone.
Simon Keswick sat down again and said, "Mr. Rong, there is an old saying in China called being a man and leaving a line, and we will see each other in the future, and Mr. Rong should not be very clear about the power of Jardine in Xiangjiang!"
Rong Le leaned back in his chair, squinted his eyes, and said, "I want to see and see!"
At this time, Chen Qing walked over and whispered: "It's HSBC, Mr. Shen Bi's phone!"
Rong Le glanced at Simon Keswick, he had already thought that someone would make peace tonight for Jardine's affairs, but he didn't expect that the first person to go out was HSBC's senior Shen Bi, and the specifications were a bit high!
"Mr. Keswick, be out of company!" Rong Le laughed.
"Please!" Simon Keswick made a gesture, at this time he no longer had the same rage as before, although the Chinese merchants in Xiangjiang are growing stronger, but the power of British merchants in Xiangjiang is the first.
Rong Le came to his office and received a call from Shen Bi, who didn't mention anything about Jardine at all, but just invited Rong Le to go hunting with him when he had time.
Rong Le agreed to Shen Bi's invitation with a smile, and then Shen Bi said seemingly unintentionally, asking Rong Le to inform Ximen Keswick and go together.
Rong Le still smiled and agreed. This is Shen Bi's attitude, he hopes that Rong Le can settle this matter peacefully with Simon Keswick.
Back in the conference room, Simon Keswick asked with a smile: "Mr. Rong, the achievements made in Xiangjiang are eye-catching, and it will be a giant in the future, and if you want to develop in Xiangjiang, it is very important to have the friendship between Jardine Matheson and HSBC." ”
Rong Le tapped his hand on the table, he was weighing the pros and cons, Simon Keswick was able to invite HSBC, which he expected, but he didn't expect that the first person to call was HSBC.
This kind of thing is definitely the further back, the heavier the weight of the caller will be, Jardine Matheson was the first to dispatch HSBC Shen Bi, so what about the people behind?
It is conceivable that at least a person of the same level as Shen Bi of HSBC, at this time there are only a handful of people of the same level as Shen Bi in Xiangjiang, and it is impossible for Rong Le not to care about their opinions.
"I don't know what price Jardine wants to pay?" Rong Le asked in a deep voice.
Simon Keswick was secretly happy in his heart, as long as Rongle was willing to let go, he would talk.
"Starlight Line, Wellcome, they can all be given to you, as for the rest of the difference, we can take out part of the peninsula property and some cash to make up the difference. Simon Keswick said in a moment's time.
"Mr. Keswick will really pay back the money on the ground!" Rong Le looked at Simon Keswick with a smile and continued: "This is impossible, if Mr. Keswick has such an attitude, it will be useless for anyone to call today, we will have to meet in the stock market tomorrow." I think for Jardine Matheson and Land, not only our Chinese businessmen are interested, but many British-funded consortia must also be eager to try!"
After Rong Le's words were finished, Simon Keswick also knew that he was suffering in his heart, don't look at HSBC now that he is really helping himself, if he really fights with Rong Le in the future, and loses both, HSBC will definitely not give up this opportunity.
What's more, there are other British-funded consortia, and this world is not only about sending charcoal in the snow, icing on the cake, but also about falling into the well.
What's more, now due to special political reasons, the rise of Chinese businessmen has been unstoppable, and HSBC is willing to help itself entirely because of the imperial system under Rongle's name, which has nothing to do with HSBC, and HSBC is also worried that Rongle's rise speed will threaten its own status, so it is willing to take action.
What if it is replaced by other Chinese businessmen who have in-depth cooperation with HSBC? For example, Li Chaoren, such as Bao Yugang.....
So at this time, don't look at Simon Keswick who seems to be calm and moderate, in fact, his heart is also entangled, winning Rongle is a miserable victory, and it is very likely that he will usher in other more ferocious opponents, and if he loses Rongle, it will be over, so Simon Keswick only has a peaceful solution.
At the same time, the phone in Rongle's office rang again, this time without Rong Le's signal, Chen Qing had already taken the initiative to answer the phone, and Rong Le smiled and said to Simon Keswick: "Mr. Keswick, Jardine has so many friends!"
"Jardine has a lot of friends, so many that Mr. Rong can't imagine. Simon Keswick said in a deep voice.
Chen Qing walked over and said, "It's a call from the political secretary." ”
Okay, first dispatched Shen Bi, the God of Wealth in Xiangjiang, and then invited the Chief Secretary of the First of the Three Divisions under the Hong Kong Government, just like Simon Keswick said, Jardine has a lot of friends.
Rong Le didn't say anything, and after walking over and picking up the phone, the other end of the phone was naturally the director of the political secretary, and the weight of other people was not enough.
Rong Le talked with him, and the other party highly praised Rong Le's achievements, and hoped that Rong Le could make his own contribution to the peaceful development of Xiangjiang!
Then Rong Le put down the phone and returned to his seat, the chief secretary didn't even mention the matter of Jardine, but the word peace was particularly important.
Simon Keswick said in a deep voice: "I hope that Mr. Rong can consider our proposal carefully!"
Rong Le tapped on the table, his face was expressionless, so that people couldn't see joy and sorrow, and said in a deep voice: "It's still the same sentence before, the plan proposed by Jardine just now is simply impossible." ”
"If the Keswick family wants to get back the shares of Jardine Matheson and Land, they must take out the Recreation Building, the Mandarin Hotel, the Golden Gate Construction, the Wellcome Chain, and the Starlight Store!
Simon Keswick, seeing that Rong Le was so firm, knew that this was his last low price, and finally had to pinch his nose and agree to Rong Le's request.
"We can agree to Mr. Rong's request, but we hope to make up for the difference in price with cash and part of the property in the middle of the mountain!"
"Yes!" For the property in Mid-Levels, Rong Le is still interested.
Simon Keswick just wanted to try it, after all, the cash in his hand had to be guarded against other consortia at this time to jump out and make a move against Jardine and Land.
"The share prices of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land are HK$30 per share and HK$22.2 per share respectively......"
"Wait, Mr. Keswick, I think you've misunderstood something, now the share price of Jardine Matheson is $45 per share, and the share price of Hongkong Land is $30 per share. ”
"Greedy fellow!" scolded Simon Keswick in his heart...... I want to talk about "Rebirth of the Rich Feast of Xiangjiang" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
