Everyone is familiar with the people who target Lin Cheng in public, and it is not strange for him to provoke Lin Cheng, because he is Mi Dawei, the son of Mi Lihao, the big class of Xiangjiang Jardine and Foreign Companies.

Jardine Matheson may not be very familiar to the mainlanders, but the people of Xiangjiang are familiar with this old and heroic enterprise, which is the world's most famous old British-funded foreign firm, the largest British-funded consortium in the Far East, and was engaged in trade with China during the Qing Dynasty.

Jardine Matheson was founded on 1 July 1832 by two Englishmen of Scottish origin, William Jardine and James Madson, in the flower town of China. Jardine Matheson played a pivotal role in the early development of Hong Kong, known as "Before Hong Kong, there was Jardine Matheson", and it was also the first European company to be established in the magic capital and the first foreign company to be established in the Japanese country.

Jardine Matheson was even the initiator of the Sino-British Opium War, Jardine Matheson was involved in the trade with China in his early years, mainly engaged in the trade of opium and tea, and when the Chinese national hero Lin Zexu imposed a ban on smoking in 1839, William Jardine, the founder of Jardine, personally lobbied the British government in London to start a war with the Manchus, and also advocated the acquisition of the Xiangjiang River from the Qing Dynasty as a trading base.

In 1841, when the port was opened, Jardine Matheson bought the first land for sale in Hong Kong for £565. After the outbreak of the Opium War, Jardine Matheson moved its head office from Huacheng to Xiangjiang in 1842.

Although Jardine Matheson began to launder as early as 1872 and abandoned the opium trade to diversify, and later became a frequent visitor to the world's top 500 companies, it is undeniable that Jardine Matheson is one of the initiators of China's century-old humiliating history in modern times.

After the establishment of the Republic, our party nationalized all the industries of Jardine Matheson in the mainland, which made Jardine Matheson lose very heavy losses.

In 1984, after the return of Hong Kong to the motherland, Jardine Matheson moved its registered office from Hong Kong to Bermuda, and in the early 1990s, the listing of the company and its subsidiaries was moved from Hong Kong to Singapore and London.

After a hundred years of vicissitudes and witnessing the changes of the Xiangjiang River, Jardine Matheson shifted its focus and left Xiangjiang Island at the moment before the return of the Xiangjiang River, which deepened the contradiction with the mainland.

There is no doubt that Jardine Matheson is such a British-funded enterprise that is extremely hostile to the mainland of the motherland, and with the growing strength of the motherland, Jardine Matheson's business in the Far East is shrinking step by step, and they have countless reasons to hate the mainlanders.

Of course, even if Jardine Matheson is gradually withdrawing its business from Xiangjiang now, its influence in Xiangjiang for a hundred years cannot be eliminated overnight, and Lin Cheng can be regarded as in big trouble this time.

"Lin Sheng, don't fight with this person, he is Mi Dawei, the son of Mi Lihao, the big pan of Jardine Matheson, although Jardine Matheson has gradually withdrawn from Xiangjiang now, but the wealthy people in Xiangjiang want to take over the industry of Jardine Matheson, and they are very stammered with them, and almost everyone wants to give them face. ”

Huo Wenxi was a native of Xiangjiang and knew some about Jardine Matheson, so she dissuaded Lin Cheng out of kindness, hoping that he would not fight with Mi Dawei.

"Damn, how can you encounter such a strong guy as soon as you ask for a price. ”

Lin Cheng was very depressed, he knew that Jardine Matheson knew that before 84 years, it was almost the existence of Xiangjiang that covered the sky with one hand, and Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoji, the rich people of Xiangjiang, used to eat with the face of Jardine Matheson.

Although it has been 97 years now, Jardine Matheson still has a very large industry in Xiangjiang, and a large number of wealthy people in Xiangjiang such as Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoji are quite covetous of their industries, and want to take over the industries they left behind, and do everything possible to deal with them.

Compared with Jardine Matheson, Lin Cheng is as small as an ant, how can he beat Mi Dawei? Lin Cheng thought to himself that although he was a reborn, he did not have the hobby of praying mantis blocking cars, and thought to himself that it was better to forget it, not to provoke such a powerful enemy in one breath.

However, just as Lin Cheng was about to admit it, a young man with a black super, a suit and leather shoes came to Lin Cheng and whispered to Lin Cheng: "Huo Sheng, President Jiang and Political Commissar Xiong asked me to bring you a message, even if you ask for a price, no matter how much you ask, the motherland is your backing." ”

Lin Cheng was shocked when he heard this, there was such a good thing, he subconsciously looked up at the three bigwigs on the rostrum, and thought to himself that Huo Sheng was undoubtedly Huo Yingdong, then President Jiang should be the head of the Xiangjiang branch of the Huaxia Society, and Commander Xiong was the political commissar of the Hong Kong garrison wearing a major general's uniform.

The three bigwigs seemed to have a sense in their hearts, and when Lin Cheng looked up at them, they all nodded to Lin Cheng in unison, now Lin Cheng was relieved, with the support of these three bigwigs, does he still need to be afraid of any bullshit Mi Dawei?

"Mr. Mi seems to be determined to win this deer head, one and a half million for the second time, is there anyone else who wants to bid?" The host shouted hard, and his eyes glanced at Lin Cheng from time to time, obviously wanting Lin Cheng to continue to increase the price and work against Mi Dawei.

"Two million!" Lin Cheng said in a dry manner, and increased the price by 500,000 Hong Kong dollars at once.

Lin Cheng's bidding once again suffocated the atmosphere on the field, and everyone's eyes were on Lin Cheng, obviously they didn't expect that when Mi Dawei had already shown his determination to Lu Touzun, Lin Cheng actually dared to go toe-to-toe with Mi Dawei.

This kind of thing of raising the bar has rarely appeared in the second-generation circle of Xiangjiang, after all, Xiangjiang is just a big fart place, everyone is familiar with it, and everyone is embarrassed to tear their faces when they look down and don't look up.

But Lin Cheng, a mainlander, is different, he is like Sun Wukong bursting out of a stone, he has nothing to do with the rich circle in Xiangjiang, and he doesn't care about Mi Dawei's face at all, and he doesn't seem to know the prestige of Jardine Matheson at all.

Now the pressure is on Mi Dawei's side, after all, this auction is for charity, if Mi Dawei regards it as an occasion to fight for wealth, it will undoubtedly greatly offend the Huo family as the organizer, but if he gives up the bid and can't swallow this breath, this is really embarrassing for him, I knew that he would not wade into this troubled water.

"Two and a half million!" Mi Dawei gritted his teeth, or continued to increase the price, as the saying goes, losing people does not lose the battle, anyway, their Mi family will soon evacuate Xiangjiang, what's the big deal about offending the Huo family, at most go home and be scolded by the old man, what's the big deal.

However, as soon as Mi Dawei's shout fell, Lin Cheng's bidding followed: "Five million!"

With the endorsement of the three bigwigs, Lin Cheng was full of courage, and immediately raised the price to a sensational five million, posing as if he was in line with you, which made Demi Dawei feel empty.
