"Media Tycoon to Banking Tycoon"!
"The first person on Hong Kong Island"!
"The First World War Sets Xiangjiang, the Coronation Ceremony of Rongle"!
......
The next day, all the media newspapers in Xiangjiang gave their own front-page headlines to Rongle, there is no mudslide in the media industry in Xiangjiang, all of them know what Xiangjiang citizens want to see, and Rongle's news is the topic that the whole Xiangjiang is most concerned about.
Everyone didn't expect that the final battle would be in such a reversed form in front of everyone's eyes, Rong Le actually reached a settlement with HSBC, and in the hall of the Overseas Trust Bank, the picture of Rong Le and Shen Bi's handshake has also become a photo used by most media newspapers.
Everyone wanted to ask Rong Le, Shen Bi, why HSBC was able to choose to reconcile with Kyushu Bank Group, although HSBC has never dealt with Kyushu Bank Group from beginning to end, but everyone is waiting for HSBC to make a move, whether it is those who support Rong Le, or those who are ready to make a secret move, no one would have thought that when everyone thought that the decisive moment was coming, HSBC would turn against each other and reconcile with Kyushu Bank Group.
But whether it is Rong Le or Shen Bi, they are silent about this matter, and this matter has become the most curious for everyone, but Rong Le and Shen Bi don't talk about it, they have no way of knowing, maybe a few years later, or more than ten years later, in the memoirs of an insider, it will be mentioned......
Some people are happy, but naturally some people are sad.
The reversal of Kyushu Bank Group and HSBC has made Jardine, Hong Leong Investment, and those hiding in the dark side feel the crisis, for them Rongle has never been a good person, and it is the true character of Rongle that they will repay it, and it is just like that, at this time they feel the crisis, they are worried about Rongle's counterattack, if Rongle at this time carries the power of victory, and deals with them with the power of thunder, who can resist it?
Far Eastern Group!
Qiu Dawei walked back and forth in his office in a panic, and the ground was already a mess, and anyone who walked into his office was scolded viciously by him.
On Qiu Dawei's desk is a copy of this morning's "Dynasty Daily", which published the news of Kyushu Bank Group yesterday, even if the photo of Rong Le in the newspaper is smiling, but in Qiu Dawei's eyes, it is still so dazzling, Rong Le's smile is like looking at him with contempt, laughing at his indiscretion.
At this time, Qiu Dawei was just praying for one thing, hoping that Rong Le would not know the financial situation of Far Eastern Bank, which was passed on by him, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of revenge he would usher in if this matter was known by Rong Le, he was even more hateful, hated the weakness and incompetence of Jardine, and clearly told himself that the defeat of Kyushu Bank Group was a sure thing, but now Rong Le played a big reversal.
He also hated himself, how could he agree to Yihe's request with a debt, if there is a regret medicine sold in this world, Qiu Dawei will definitely buy one with all his might, he really doesn't have the courage to face Rongle's revenge......
"Squeak!" his office was pushed open.
"Get out of here, didn't you say, no one should bother me!" Qiu Dawei shouted angrily, but when he turned to look at the door, he found his father looking at him with a grim face.
"Daddy......" Qiu Dawei's expression became flustered.
Qiu Degen walked up to Qiu Dawei step by step and asked in a deep voice: "I only want to ask you one thing, did you poke out the financial situation of Far Eastern Bank?"
"Daddy, I'...... I didn't mean to. Qiu Dawei's face turned pale.
"Smack!"
Qiu Dawei covered his cheeks and looked at Qiu Degen blankly, he didn't expect that his father, who had always been kind to their brothers, would really do it.
"You give me home to reflect on it, without my permission, you are not allowed to come to the company in the future!" Qiu Degen said fiercely, Qiu Degen did everything he could, but he didn't expect that his son would be so stupid, Rongle and HSBC, Jardine Matheson's war, is their Qiu family able to participate in it?
It was a battle between the top consortiums in Xiangjiang, although their Qiu family's Far Eastern Group also belonged to a first-class consortium in Xiangjiang, but so what, is there a difference between a first-class consortium and a second-rate consortium in the eyes of Rong Le?
It's not an easy thing to fix with a snap of your fingers......
Qiu Dawei walked out of his office in despair, Qiu Degen's body was not so straight, he sat down on the office chair dejectedly, and after a long sigh, he picked up the phone on the desk.
"Hey, hello, I'm Qiu Degen from Far Eastern Group, and I want to talk to Rongsheng!" Qiu Degen dialed the phone number of Rong's Investment Rongle Office.
"I'm sorry, our chairman, not in the office, if it's convenient, I can help you convey your meaning!" Chen Xihua replied politely with the phone.
"Oh, when will Rongsheng go back to the office?" Qiu Degen continued.
"Our chairman didn't explain this!"
"Alright then, I'll call again!" Qiu Degen put the phone back in a dejected manner......
Hong Leong Investment!
Guo Lingcan and Guo Linghai, the two brothers, also sat on the sofa with a dejected look, the two brothers were relatively speechless, and the two brothers who wanted to play with a horse pistol in one hand folded on their own self-righteousness.
"I don't understand, why HSBC would let Rong Le go, what kind of benefits Rong Le gave to HSBC, so that HSBC could watch Kyushu Bank Group share their interests!" Guo Linghai shook his head, there was no longer the usual wanton laughter, his mind was now full of question marks.
And in Guo Linghai's eyes, the omnipotent eldest brother also became extremely silent at this time, unable to answer Guo Linghai's question, Guo Linghai couldn't figure it out, and Guo Lingcan also wanted to understand.
In Guo Lingcan's view, no matter whether Jardine Matheson and HSBC have sat down to talk about it before, but the two sides have joined forces to tacitly suppress Rongle, there must exist, why is it that when it is about to be time to divide the cake, HSBC suddenly turned its gun and joined Rongle's camp?
You are proud of the leading consortium in Xiangjiang, now that Rongle has joined the banking industry and attracted major Chinese consortiums, it is obvious that he is competing for interests with HSBC, and now HSBC not only does not suppress Rongle, but actually stands by Rongle's side and endorses Kyushu Bank Group?
When did you HSBC become so great?
"Let's get in touch with Rong's Investment, at this time we don't have time to discuss why HSBC did this, what we need to worry about is how Rongle will fight back!" Guo Lingcan said with a heavy face.
He has the same idea as Qiu Degen, at this time, the most important thing for them is how to eliminate Rongle's opinion of them, in case Rongle takes action against them, Hong Leong Investment at this time is no different from crushing an ant to Rongle!
"Big brother, I don't think it's necessary, Rong Le doesn't necessarily know that the data of Daoheng Bank was leaked by us, and he has no reason to deal with us!" Guo Linghai said.
When the two brothers first received Jardine's invitation, they did not agree to hand over the financial situation of Daoheng Bank, but when they later heard that Jardine Matheson was going to launch a general attack on Rongle with HSBC, they chose to believe Jardine Matheson, believing that no one in Xiangjiang could resist the alliance between HSBC and Jardine.
So the two brothers confidently handed over the data of Dao Heng Bank to Jardine Matheson, in order to board the ship between Jardine Matheson and HSBC, and be able to get a piece of cake that satisfies them when they divide the cake in the future, but the result surprised the two brothers.
Fart's Jardine Matheson HSBC big alliance.
The big total attack of the fart.
Now they found that they were not on a joint warship at all, but a ship that was strong from the outside and rotten at the middle......
"Do you think Rong Le needs a reason to deal with us? As long as he determines that we are involved in this matter, then Rong Le can take action!" Guo Lingcan said in frustration.
"What if he makes a move? Our investment in Xiangjiang is nothing, it's a big deal that our brothers return to Malaysia, Rongle is very powerful in Xiangjiang, but when he arrives in Malaysia, what can he do with our Guo family?" Guo Linghai said angrily.
"Do you think Rongle's current battlefield will only be Xiangjiang? Rongle's eyes must have begun to focus on the entire Southeast Asia, and even the global market at this time, if we can't get Rongle's forgiveness now, when Rongle enters Malaysia in the future, do you think we can really resist it?" Guo Lingcan said.
This is the saddest thing about the Guo brothers, even if they want to escape, there is nowhere to escape......
After Guo Lingcan finished talking to his younger brother, he didn't say anything, walked to his desk, and personally dialed the phone number of Rong's investment Rongle office.
However, the feedback they received was the same as Qiu Degen's, and Rongle was not in the office at all!
......
If you want to say who is the most frustrated among all the frustrated people, it is naturally none other than Jardine, Simon Keswick, after experiencing the initial anger, locked himself in his office, he was thinking, thinking about the cause and effect of the whole thing, he didn't know where the whole thing went wrong.
Simon Keswick does not believe that HSBC and Rongle have discussed before, because this does not have any benefit to HSBC, Rongle's establishment of Kyushu Bank Group is clearly infringing on HSBC's interests, although HSBC seems to be very supportive of the Chinese consortium in Xiangjiang on the surface, it is only under the condition of not infringing on its own interests, but now that Rongle obviously did not accept HSBC's stake in Kyushu Bank Group, why did Shen Bi temporarily change his position?
What kind of benefits did Rongle promise to HSBC, and what kind of benefits could make HSBC ignore the threat of the Kyushu Bank Group?
Simon Keswick's strands of hair couldn't figure out what was wrong?
Obviously, it is a win-win situation, and HSBC can take this opportunity to suppress the development momentum of Rongle, and at the same time be able to get the biggest share of this cake, what is the reason?
Simon Keswick specially called Shen Bi for this, but still didn't get the answer he wanted, now the Jardine is no longer the former Jardine, HSBC has no need to answer Simon Keswick's inquiry, not to mention that both sides have some careful thoughts, before this has been tacit cooperation, there has been no meeting at all, and there is no discussion about this matter at all, even if Simon Keswick wants to question HSBC's rebellion, there is no reason.
And the most important thing for Simon Keswick now is that he still has to deal with Rongle's impending revenge.
As for making peace with Rongle, Simon Keswick didn't think about it, but Simon Keswick clearly knew that not to mention whether he could make peace with Rongle, just Rongle's greedy character made him unacceptable, if he took the initiative to show weakness this time, Rongle Lion opened his mouth, and he had no way to deal with it.
And Simon Keswick doesn't think that Rongle will make peace with himself this time, the current Xiangjiang is no longer the original Xiangjiang, and Rongle was able to give up the acquisition of Jardine Matheson in the negotiations with himself, that is because Rongle has too many things to take into account, but now Rongle's reputation is in full swing in Xiangjiang at this time, that is, the Hong Kong government has to be afraid of three points, and it is basically impossible to make peace with Rongle.
In the end, in desperation, Simon Keswick could only save himself, and now although the Jardine Department has been relocated overseas, the crisis still exists, if Rongle takes advantage of this time to make a move, whether Jardine can still be saved, even Simon Keswick can't be sure.
After figuring it out, Simon Keswick immediately called the American investment banker Pavis Pawris.
Rong Le quickly learned the news, and smiled at Simon Keswick's decision, knowing that Jardine's restructuring plan had begun.
Originally, if there was no such thing, the restructuring of Jardine Matheson would not have started until the end of next year, in order not to deal with Rongle, but to deal with the serial ship plan of Jardine Land, which has gradually formed a drag.
After taking office, Paul will announce the spin-off and listing of Hongkong Land's wholly-owned company, Dairy Farm International (the predecessor of Dairy Farm International, which was acquired by Hongkong Land in 1972), and later announce the spin-off and listing of another wholly-owned subsidiary, Mandarin Oriental, but now that Mandarin Oriental has already been acquired by Rongle, the listing of Mandarin Oriental will definitely not happen.
Then Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land will jointly inject capital into the establishment of a 'Heung Kong Investors Limited' (Hongkong Land will inject its shares in Jardine Matheson), and then merge it with Jardine Securities to form 'Jardine Matheson Strategic Holdings Limited', which will change the mutual control relationship between Jardine Matheson and Jardine Matheson Strategy, and the three listed companies of Hongkong Land, Dairy Farm International and Mandarin Oriental will be directly controlled by Jardine Matheson, so that Jardine Matheson has been maintained for seven years, and the mutual control of Jardine Land has ended.
Although Simon Keswick is Rongle's opponent, he is also very impressed by Simon Keswick's ability to implement this plan more than a year ahead of schedule so quickly.
"Don't worry about him for now, there's still a long time to come, let them jump for a while!" Rong Le smiled.
Chen Xihua asked, "What about the phone call between Far Eastern Group and Hong Leong Investment?"
"Let's cool them down first! Now is not the time for them to fight if they want to, and make peace if they want to!" Rong Le said with a smile.
