Chapter 54: Perfunctory

Shen Chong tied his tie, looked left and right in the mirror on the dresser for a while, then touched his cheek and said: "No wonder the ancients said that ** hurt your body, you are not yet thirty, you are like a wolf and a tiger, I am in shape, haggard, and I can't see anyone at night."

Zhang Aijia, who was sitting at the head of the bed, was annoyed and angry when she heard this, grabbed the pillow, threw it over and smashed him, and teased: "Don't you want to learn from the feudal emperor and open a big harem, why, just two women can't bear it?" ”

"The emperor opens a harem and sleeps at night, he will turn over the brand, he can sleep with whoever he wants, and sleep with whomever he wants." After the passion, Shen Chong was in a very good mood and laughed: "Engaging in violence against a woman like you is a crime of bullying the king, and it is unacceptable." ”

"You are a ghost." Zhang Aijia pursed her lips, she turned over and got out of bed, picked up her blazer and walked over, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, don't you have an appointment with someone at night, hurry up and get dressed, it's going to be seven o'clock." ”

"Tonight is just a formality, everyone has ghosts in their hearts and calculates each other." Shen Chong stretched out his hand, put his clothes on, looked back at her, and said, "Why don't you change your clothes and go with me, the restaurant tastes good tonight." ”

"I'm not going, I'll just have a casual meal downstairs with Qingxia later." Zhang Aijia waved her hand and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, and now I'm very sleepy, I'll sleep in a while." ”

"Okay then." Shen Chong put on his watch, grabbed his hair again, and said, "I'm leaving." ”

"Let's go, let's go." Zhang Aijia sent him to the door and said; "By the way, after I got up today, I called my grandfather, and he asked me to go back to Taipei as soon as possible, is there something wrong with Taiwan? Before I left for the United States, he called me and told me to stay here for a few more days when I returned to Hong Kong. ”

"It's a little bit of a thing." Shen Chong looked at her expression and knew that she had misunderstood, so he smiled and kissed her forehead and said, "It's not what you think, your grandfather has no objection to us being together." It's something wrong with business, he actually asked me to go to Taiwan as soon as possible, don't think about it, I've already booked a ticket for tomorrow night, and after the TV station starts broadcasting, let's go to Taiwan. ”

"Okay." Zhang Aijia stroked his tie and said, "Then I'll call my grandfather later." ”

Shen Chong snorted and said, "You tell him that there is something wrong with the furnishings in my office and I need to redecorate, and ask him if he knows the feng shui master in Taiwan." ”

Zhang Aijia understood what he meant and nodded.

"Mr. Shen, our conditions are very favorable, please think about it seriously."

"Mr. Bofford." Shen Chong put down the document, pushed it over, and said: "I admit that the conditions you have opened now are much more generous than last time, but I made it very clear, I am not interested in Starlight Xing, and I am also not interested in the property in Mid-Levels." ”

"In that case." Niu Bijian, who had not spoken much, opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Shen, tell me what you want, be honest, we have no patience to continue to perfunctory." ”

"You are not willing to give me the Prince Building, nor are you willing to give me the land of Bofulin." Shen Chong shook his head and complained a few words, then raised his finger and said: "Then I will propose two plans again, first, you buy all the shares in my hands at a price of 105 Hong Kong dollars per share, and second, I will exchange the shares of Wharf in my hand for the shares of Jardine Matheson or Hongkong Group." ”

Bao Fuda and Niu Bijian glanced at each other, and then said: "Wharf closed at 71 today. The price of 3 Hong Kong dollars, 105 Hong Kong dollars is very unreasonable, and the premium is too high. If it is a share exchange, how is Mr. Shen going to change it? ”

"The stock prices of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land Group are about the same, they are all about 17 yuan, just take Jardine Matheson in exchange, I suffer a loss, one share for six shares, how about it? Both new and old shares are available. ”

Although the market of Jardine Matheson is much larger than that of Wharf, it is not as large as six times, one share for six shares, so that Shen Chong is almost directly pushed to the throne of the largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson, which naturally aroused strong opposition from the two.

"That can't be"

"Are you crazy?"

"I've made a big concession, but the two of you still won't agree, so I don't think there's any point in continuing to talk." Shen Chong shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly and said helplessly: "The difference is too big. ”

Niu Bijian stared at Shen Chong with eagle-like eyes and asked, "Mr. Shen, what kind of conditions did Bao Yugang give you?" ”

"Trade secrets, no comment."

"What Bao Yugang can give, we can give more." Niu Bijian held the red wine glass between his fingers and said proudly: "Before Hong Kong opened its port, Jardine Matheson had already established itself in this land, Mr. Shen, you must know that it is very unwise to offend a huge and long-established business empire. ”

"Mr. Niu Bijian, I don't mean to offend Jardine Matheson." Shen Chong pretended to be innocent and said: "Americans often say that business is business, and the British say that buying and selling are free and fair competition, right?" Everyone is a businessman, interests come first, and I have to fight for the best interests for myself. ”

"You Chinese also said, don't lose big because of the small." Niu Bijian has been in Hong Kong for more than ten years, rough Chinese, after he bluntly said an idiom, he said: "The business scope of Jardine Matheson, from supermarkets to fleets, from real estate to certificates, from grain to oil, anywhere in the world, there are footprints of Jardine Matheson, any kind of product in the world, Jardine Matheson can be bought, Mr. Shen, if you choose to become a friend of Jardine Matheson, then in Hong Kong and even anywhere in Southeast Asia, we can help you, and Sir Pao Yugang, he can only help you transport goods." ”

Shen Chong slowly ate a French snail feast and said: "If I understand correctly, what Mr. Niu Bijian means is that if I don't sell the stock to you, then I will be the enemy of Jardine Matheson, and I will encounter many unexpected difficulties in Hong Kong and even the whole of Southeast Asia in the future?" ”

"Mr. Shen misunderstood." Bao Fuda played a round and said: "Mr. Niu Bijian is urging you to think more about the surrounding business interests, and not just look at the numbers on the books. ”

"Oh, that's right." Shen Chong put down the tableware and said, "I only believe in real benefits, why don't you give me a few examples and tell me what peripheral benefits I can get?" ”

As a professional manager, Bao Fuda is accustomed to straightforward negotiations, and he immediately said: "I heard that there is a little problem with Mr. Shen's television station, and Mr. Niu Bijian is a good friend of the Governor and a member of the Executive Council, and he can help mediate and solve those troubles." ”

Shen Chong took his eyes to look at Niu Bijian.

"The Governor has a lot of business to attend to tomorrow, but as far as I know, he will have some free time around 6 p.m." Niu Bijian stared at Shen Chong without showing weakness, and said: "I can persuade him to attend the opening ceremony of your TV station, and I am very good friends with Mr. Luo Bao, the chief non-official member of the Legislative Council, who is also the chairman of the Broadcasting Authority, and the legislation on film censorship, as well as Mr. Shen's TV station, are within his jurisdiction." ”

So, it's really this guy's ghost

Although he had already guessed it, Shen Chong still felt a lot of pressure, and Niu Bijian's words and actions showed that the influence of Jardine Matheson on Hong Kong's political and economic fields was no less than that of the Governor and HSBC.

Shen Chong thought about it for a while, and decided to continue to paralyze Niu Bijian and survive the vacuum period in Taiwan, so he said: "Then let me change the plan, I will use one share of Wharf shares for three shares of Jardine Matheson Co., plus 45 Hong Kong dollars in cash, how about it?" The share price of Jardine Matheson is only about 17 yuan, so when converted, the value of each Wharf is only about 98 yuan, this premium is very reasonable and sincere, right? ”

He has more than 9 million shares of Wharf shares in his hand, and lowering the quotation by a dollar is equivalent to asking for more than 0000000 Hong Kong dollars, this concession is indeed not small, and one share for three shares will not shake the Keswick family's position as the largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson, Bao Fuda was quite moved when he heard this, and Niu Bijian's eyes flashed, and he asked vigilantly: "Mr. Shen, you have always wanted to exchange the shares of Jardine Matheson, why?" ”

"Money, I've made enough." Shen Chong said nonsense: "I want status, reputation and titles, I want to be a member of the political situation or the Legislative Council, but I have an ordinary family background and a low status, so I can only improve my social status by joining the board of directors of a large company." HSBC has not issued new shares for many years, and its board of directors is too difficult to enter, so I have to fight the idea of Jardine Matheson, as Mr. New Bikin just said, Jardine Matheson has a deep influence in Hong Kong, and I think that if I can become a board member of Jardine Matheson, it will help me a lot in my life path. ”

Niu Bijian looked at him in disbelief a few times, and then got together with Bao Fuda, and after a few minutes of whispered exchange, he raised his head and said, "Mr. Shen's plan, we have to go back and study it." ”

"Yes." Shen Chong was secretly happy and asked, "So, my TV station?" ”

"Mr. Shen, don't worry, I can guarantee that the Hong Kong Governor's Office will give you a clear answer before 12 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

Who is rare to be the governor of Hong Kong

Shen Chong's eyes froze, and then he asked, "What about the Broadcasting Administration?" ”

"Mr. Shen, you have to know, it's as if this plan needs to be studied." Niu Bijian curled his lips and said, "The Broadcasting Administration is a government department, and it will take time to study the official documents it sends out, and if they are changed. ”

To your uncle, who said that the British can't play tricks......

Sooner or later, I want you to look good

Shen Chong scolded secretly in his stomach, but with a helpless expression on his face, he raised his wine glass and said, "Mr. Niu Bijian, please study it as soon as possible, and then help me ask Mr. Luo Bao for a favor, otherwise I will lose my face tomorrow." ”
