Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 780 To Land

   The two brothers have always given the impression to the outside world that they are brothers and sisters, and they are harmonious and harmonious, and there is not much conflict. However, according to the feedback from Yuan Tianfan, the competition between the two brothers in private is quite fierce.

   It's just that the contest between the two tends to be head-on, and they never play tricks secretly. The healthy competition is naturally unknown.

Simon Keswick appears here now, obviously he was assigned, oh no, it can't be said to be assigned, you must know that the Jardine Group is still very powerful, if Simon Keswick can succeed as the director of Jardine as he did in his previous life The position of the chairman of the bureau, then he will also have a certain right to speak within the Keswick family in the future.

   Once this person has selfishness, it is easy to control.

  Although he wanted to annex Yihe, judging from the current stalemate between the two, even if he wins in the end, he will become the second charter king.

   wins face, loses money.

   This kind of thing, he doesn't want to do the second one.

Furthermore, in the next year, his long-awaited opportunity to buy bargains will soon come. In the future, anyone who wants to gain a firm foothold in Xiangjiang without real estate will eventually become a substitute for others. working situation.

  The annexation of Jardine will inevitably lead to a deadly fight with the Keswick family, which will inevitably lead to injuries. It may even cause a bigger rebound. You must know that the British-owned consortium in Xiangjiang is still quite strong.

   Once he has completely torn his face and fell into a quagmire, he will not think about the next big dip.

   In addition to bargain hunting for real estate, there is also the devaluation of the Hong Kong dollar. As long as the US dollar in his hand is in Hang Seng Bank, he can make money lying down when he enters and exits, which is faster than investing in stocks.

   The mutual control strategy that Niu Bijian pursued at the beginning, although it looks a bit silly, but the actual effect is really good, as long as Jardine is willing to pay the cost, the two holding companies of Jardine Matheson and Landmark can always keep one.

   Yang Chen has no interest in Jardine Matheson. With Hang Seng Bank in hand, even if he wins Jardine Matheson, it will not be of much use to him.

   What he cares about is Landmark. In addition to real estate, there are many high-quality companies under Landmark, such as the former Heung Kong Electric and Telephone companies. More than 30% of the shares of the two companies are held by Landmark.

   If he wants to take the two companies private next, he will have to take the shares held by Landmark.

   Jardine Matheson is a chicken rib, and Landmark is the fat he values.

   So, he wanted to give it a try to see if he could win Landmark from Simon Keswick. If he could successfully harvest Landmark, he did not continue to fight with Jardine.

   In order to alleviate the debt problem of Jardine, the later generation Simon Keswick launched a series of clearance sales. The children of the big family acted decisively and simply.

   In the face of this dear man, why not try it?

Simon Keswick said seriously: "Yang Sheng, this time I am here on behalf of Jardine, and soon, I will take over as the chairman of Jardine's board of directors, so this time I came to you, just to talk Some misunderstandings between us before the talk."

"Misunderstanding?" Yang Chen couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Simon Keswick, I think, I need to make a statement that there is no misunderstanding between us. You can find any misunderstandings that Jardine used in Xiangjiang before. You can get a rough idea by asking.”

   "If it was just a misunderstanding, I wouldn't have made such a big effort, troubled and laborious."

   Yang Chen's disdainful expression and tough attitude made Simon Keswick's forehead turn black.

Before he came here, he had already understood everything. In Simon Keswick's view, there was nothing wrong with Yihe's suppression of Xue's industry earlier. its extreme.

  The only mistake of Yihe was that he did not use more drastic means to acquire Xue's Industry at that time.

   Without Xue's Industry and Father Xue behind him, Yang Chen couldn't have risen so fast, and he couldn't have used this opportunity to catch Yihe by surprise.

When    hit a hard nail, Simon Keswick immediately changed the subject and used his last trump card.

"Yang Sheng, I came to Bangkok in person this time with sincerity. Because of our two families, the Hong Kong stock market has also been greatly affected. Before I came here, I paid a special visit to Mr. Youde. He I also hope that we can resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible and stabilize the prosperity of Hong Kong…”

   "Press?" Yang Chen was stunned when he heard the words, and glanced at Simon Keswick in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would move out the Governor of Xiangjiang, Youde.

  ‘Didn’t he know about his relationship with Prince Charles? ’

  Yang Chen showed a foolish look. If the governor really wanted to intervene in this matter, he would have received a call from Prince Charles long ago. Since he hasn't, it means that the other party does not intend to intervene in this matter.

  The root of the turmoil in the Hong Kong stock market came from the scene of Mrs Thatcher wrestling in the Great Hall, from the failure of the British wishful thinking, and it had nothing to do with him fighting with Jardine.

   Even if there is, it will at most play a role in fueling the flames.

Ignoring the embarrassment on Simon Keswick's face, Yang Chen shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Simon Keswick, I didn't receive a call from the Governor here, I think it's not between our two families that he has a headache now. things."

  Simon Keswick spread his hands, leaned his back on the sofa, showed a helpless expression, and compromised: "Okay, Yang Sheng, you can make a price!"

   "Offer price?"

   "That's right"

   "Alright, I want to buy the land" Yang Chen said lightly.

   "What did you say?" Simon Keswick suddenly stood up from the sofa, staring at Yang Chen in front of him.

Yang Chen didn't even look at Simon Keswick, who was staring at a pair of bull-eyed eyes. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then continued to say, "I think, what I said is very clear, I want to Landmark, as long as you agree, I can immediately stop and even assume all the debts Landmark owed before.”

  Simon Keswick was stunned for a second after hearing this, then quickly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Impossible, Yang Sheng might as well change the condition."

The importance of    Landmark to Jardine is unquestionable. Without Landmark, Jardine’s influence in Xiangjiang will be greatly weakened. Without Landmark, Jardine may not even be able to maintain the status of the four major foreign firms.

   "Mr. Simon Keswick, I think you need to seriously consider the situation. Now that the Sino-British negotiation has ended, you must be well aware of the outcome. No one knows what will happen in the next year or two.

  Since Yihe is ready to move out of Xiangjiang, what's the use of leaving Landmark? Do you still want to bear the loss of a few decades ago? "
