Unlike Pao's Chinese style of steady and steady, Jardine Matheson was straightforward, and as soon as Shen Chong finished talking to Shu Qi, Qiu Siyu told him that Niu Bijian called him to ask him to have dinner at the Peninsula Hotel at 6 p.m. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Jardine is worthy of being the king of foreign banks, full of arrogance, and only when the meal is ordered, he comes to send invitations, which is a treat, this is to catch ducks on the shelves."

"Are you still going?"

"Go, of course go, arrogance is good, especially when talking about business." While Shen Chong was speaking, he pressed the button on the desk, and the wall on the right side opened silently, revealing a wardrobe, in which a row of clothes was neatly hung, and the colors and accessories were all matched in advance, he took out a set casually, and then said: "You go and inform Yuan Tianfan, let him bring the draft that was discussed in the afternoon, and go with me." ”

"Okay."

Talking about business at the dinner table is a unique skill of the Chinese, and there are many doorways, and the British have only learned a superficial form, so this dinner, which lasted only more than half an hour, was unhappily dispersed.

"Mr. Niu Bijian, Mr. Bao Dafu, I want to remind the two of you, if the shares in my hands are sold to you, you can be on an equal footing with Bao Yugang, if I resell to Bao Yugang, he will hold 40 Wharf shares, there is no need to force the status of 49 largest shareholders, you can drag the Hongkong Group to death, which is more important, please think deeply." Before saying goodbye and leaving, Shen Chong motioned to Yuan Tianfan to put the documents on the dining table and said: "I will put this draft here, you can take it or not, whatever, I will go to the mainland tomorrow and come back in a week, if you are still interested, we will talk about it again." ”

After walking out of the Peninsula Hotel and getting into the car, Shen Chong asked Yuan Tianfan, "What do you think?" ”

"I only saw four words on the faces of Niu Bijian and Bao Dafu." Yuan Tianfan smiled and stretched out four fingers and said, "Hesitation." ”

"That's right." Shen Chong laughed and said: "They are reluctant to Wharf and want to have a big battle with Bao Yugang, but they are also worried that they will be attacked from behind and lose their ground. ”

"The so-called feng shui takes turns, and retribution is coming." Yuan Tianfan also smiled and said: "If it weren't for the fact that Jardine Matheson was too greedy back then and swallowed the milk company without pulling out a dime, it would not have fallen to the current point." ”

Jardine Matheson was founded in 18 years, is by the opium trade and opium smuggling in China and made a fortune, after the opening of Hong Kong in 184l, Jardine Matheson moved its headquarters to Hong Kong, its power once swelled to the whole of China, the business expanded from opium to shipping, trade, finance, real estate, industry and other fields, becoming the most famous diversified, comprehensive enterprise group in old China, known as "anywhere in China, where there are trade activities, there is Jardine Matheson", is considered to be the king of foreign companies.

After 1949, Jardine Matheson lost all its assets in the mainland, withdrew all its business to Hong Kong, and ranked first among the four major foreign companies in Hong Kong in the sixties.

Founded in 1889 by Paul Chater and Jardine Matheson, Hongkong Land is the anchor of Jardine Matheson, and was considered the "crown jewel" of Hong Kong's real estate industry until the rise of Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Asset.

In 19 years, the Hong Kong Harbour Tunnel was about to be opened to traffic, and Causeway Bay became the most prosperous business district in Hong Kong outside Central, and land prices rose sharply, so Hongkong Land Group started the idea of Hong Kong Dairy Company.

The Hong Kong Dairy Company is also a British-funded company, founded in 18ru, in Pokfulam and Causeway Bay bought a large amount of land as pastures, raising dairy cows, selling fresh milk, making ice cream, this kind of business methods, when Hong Kong was still a small fishing village, there is nothing to blame, but in the seventies of the twentieth century, it is still engaged in such a business, that is, holding the gold mountain to gnaw the nest......

In 19 years, Hongkong Land adopted the method of share exchange and share split, and acquired the dairy company without spending a penny, and then converted the ice factory in Causeway Bay into a commercial building, and changed the pasture in Pokfulam into a residential area, making a lot of money, but it also buried hidden dangers, because there are many shareholders of the dairy company, after the share swap and split, the shares of Hongkong Land were dispersed to many small shareholders, and the controlling position of Jardine Matheson on Hongkong Land was greatly weakened.

In 19 years, Chinese enterprises in Hong Kong had just risen, and they could not threaten the status of Jardine Matheson, but in 19 years, the situation was very different, the strength of Chinese enterprises rose sharply, and they had the strength to fight with British capital, and Hutchison Whampoa fell into the hands of Li Ka-shing, which is evident.

Jardine Matheson is now in a situation where it will not be able to regain control of Wharf from Pao if it does not issue new shares to raise funds, but if it issues new shares, it is worried that Pao Yugang will secretly abandon Wharf and take Hongkong Land, which is the core industry of Jardine Matheson, and cannot afford to lose, so it is in a dilemma.

"It is the best choice for Jardine Matheson to exchange the property for the shares in my hands, but unfortunately, Niu Bijian wants the shares in my hands and does not want to pay too much price." Shen Chong smiled and said: "The British are still too arrogant, thinking that I am young and easy to fool, and use the Xingguang Xing to prevaricate, when Hongkong Land bought the Xingguang Xing from Huo Yingdong, it only cost a mere 37.5 million, even if the value has appreciated more than ten times there, it is only four or five billion, and what do I want a building from the sixties?" ”

Starlight Line is a partnership between Fok Yingdong and Hong Kong and Macao giants such as Ho Hung and He Tian, spending 30UU Hong Kong dollars, a commercial building built in 19 years, with a height of 19 floors, located in the prosperous area of Tsim Sha Tsui, which is one of the most famous buildings in Hong Kong in the UU era.

Fok Yingdong was blacklisted by the Americans during the Korean War, and after the completion of the Starlight Store, he rented one of the large shops to the "Zhongyi" company that operated Chinese mainland crafts, so it was regarded as pro-communist, and was jointly suppressed by the US and British governments, the Americans claimed that all the tenants of Starlight Bank could not sell American goods, even American-made cash registers could not be used, and the Hong Kong British government did not open the phone to the tenants of Starlight Bank, Fok Yingdong reduced the rent per square meter to 9 cents, no one dared to rent, plus Ho Hong was behind the water, In desperation, Fok Yingdong finally sold Starlight Hong to Hongkong Land Group at a price of 37.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

After Hongkong Land Group bought Xingguangxing, it was quickly sold out and made a lot of money, and this twist and turn also made Fok Yingdong lose his heart to continue to develop the Hong Kong real estate market......

Shen Chong didn't even want the Prince Building in Central, and the Starlight Line in Tsim Sha Tsui was even more eye-catching, so he did not hesitate to refuse the conditions of Jardine Matheson, the chip gap between the two sides was too big, so naturally there was no need to continue talking.

"Then what does Mr. Shen mean, regardless of Jardine Matheson, sell the stock to Bao Yugang?"

"Don't worry, I see that both sides are accumulating strength, and it has not yet reached the point of life and death, that is to say, there is still room for appreciation in the stocks in our hands." Shen Chong tapped his fingers on the leather seat and said very sharply: "You go and check if Bao Yugang has any travel plans recently, Jardine Matheson is at a disadvantage, and it is very likely that he will carry out a sneak attack when he is not in Hong Kong." ”

"Okay."
