The sunken office is considered the most romantic office in Hong Kong because it uses the entire floor to make a garden, while the Niu Bijian's office is considered the most impressive office in Hong Kong because it can overlook the entire Central.

Since taking office as the senior class of Jardine Wong, whenever he encounters something difficult to decide, he always stands behind the glass curtain wall of the office and looks down at the surrounding buildings. Because the feeling of stepping on all things and treating sentient beings like ants can not only allow him to enjoy the pleasure brought by power, but also provide him with a clear, independent and objective attitude to face problems - as if God is looking at the world.

However, that night, when the board of directors ended, he stood alone in front of the glass curtain wall with whiskey, looking at the brightly lit Central Ring, frowned, without any pleasure, and did not find an objective and calm mind.

This board of directors was held very rarely for more than three hours before it ended. There was not much controversy about giving up Hutchison Whampoa. What was controversial was how to face Li Kaiyuan's hostile acquisition. One side was a hardliner and was preparing to continue to buy back shares in the stock market, rather than repurchasing the stocks in Li Kaiyuan's hands. With a strong attitude of losing both sides, warning all consortiums that wanted to get involved in Jardineyah's foreign companies, and the other side was a stable party, demanding to negotiate with Li Kaiyuan as soon as possible to resolve the hostile acquisition at the lowest cost.

During the entire meeting, Simenke always spoke in a smooth and peaceful manner, but never expressed the true intentions of the Kessek family. Not only that, he also did something that caught Newbi off guard.

"It happened very suddenly. We lacked enough information and information to analyze and judge, and we did not have time to think and communicate fully. In this case, the resolution made by the vote may not be in the interests of the company. So I think that the directors should leave the matter to experts to solve it. As we all know, Mr. Newbijian is outstanding in ability and is the world's first-class negotiating expert. He and Shen Chong have many contacts to understand the other party's personality and characteristics. I believe that he is fully responsible for this matter and will definitely solve it perfectly.

Simenke's remarks made Niu Bijian very angry.

As the chairman of the board of directors, he had the right to choose to deal with hostile acquisitions, but he did not want this decision-making power, because no matter whether he chose to be tough or stable, there were quite a few negative problems, and people would always find excuses for attack afterwards. No matter how sharp Li Kaiyuan said, she would not be able to control Jardine Wong in a short time, and it would be even more impossible to threaten the position of Newbijian in the senior class. On the contrary, the Kessek family is the person who truly threatened his senior class status, so Newbijian went through a lot of trouble to convene a board of directors and send the decision-making power out - if the board of directors collectively voted to decide what kind of action to take, his responsibility would naturally be small.

Once Li Kaiyuan's acquisition plan is realized, the Keserk family will be the biggest loser. Nvbijian thought that Siemenke would be very nervous and took the initiative to take power to deal with Li Kaiyuan. Unexpectedly, he did the opposite and kicked the ball back. Moreover, his remarks touched many directors at the meeting and finally passed the authorization proposal, Nvbijian was fully responsible for solving the matter.

Obviously, Simenk pushed Newbijian to the fire and roasted it, and fought for his brother Henrik to return to Jardine Massachusetts.

Thinking of this, Nvbijian was upset. He raised his glass, took a sip of whiskey, and murmured: "Damn it, it would be great if this woman could buy more shares."

Indeed, if Li Kaiyuan had a little more shares, the situation would be very different.

When Simon Kessek saw Lee Kaiyuan announce that she owned 15. Jardine Wong Foreign Company shares, he was very nervous because this data far exceeded the shares held by the Kessek family, which would seriously damage the influence of the Kessek family in Jardine Wong. It would cost a lot to increase the holding to the same number. However, after O'Connor explained, he immediately became rational and calm because the shares below 10 were not under much pressure for the Kessek family. With their family's financial resources and relationship network, they were not afraid of competitors with the same shares.

If Li Kaiyuan really owns 15.'s shares of Jardine Wong, the Keserk family will definitely fight with all their might. In that case, Newbijian can stand by and watch the tiger fight. But now, for this unpainable share, the Keserk family only needs to exert a little influence on the board of directors and push Newbijian into cannon fodder.

Newbijian was very, very resistant to Henrik's return. On the one hand, it was a power struggle and had never had any feelings. On the other hand, Newbijian was already full of resentment towards Henrik.

Although Henrik's series of expansion actions made Jardine Wong a world-class commercial group, every expansion he presided over had serious sequelae. For example, in 2019, he acquired Hong Kong Milk Company in a share exchange manner through Land Group, which greatly reduced the control of Jardine Wong's Land Group. For example, before the stock market crash in 1973, Henrik issued new shares to raise funds, and then went to Hawaii and the Philippines to acquire 40,000 acres of sugarcane farms. The stock market crash and the sluggish world sugar industry market made Jardine Wong bear a very heavy burden. For example, in 1973, Henrik also acquired high-end real estate in London. Soon after, the first oil crisis broke out, the British economy suffered a heavy blow, and the value of those real estates fell sharply...

Henrik was facing various crises, not thinking about how to solve them, but choosing to retire in his prime. With the reputation of "the prince of the foreign company", he returned to London in a glorious manner, enjoying the leisurely and free noble life, leaving a mess for Newbijian. When Newbijian spent five years and exhausted his endless thoughts, he had just made the situation of Jardine Wong's foreign company improve. This guy actually wanted to kill someone to pick peaches?

You should know that according to convention, after taking office, Jardine Whampoa's senior team will also serve as the senior team of Land Group and Hutchison Whampoa. With three crowns on one head, it is the most glorious foreign company in Hong Kong. Now the crown of Hutchison Whampoa is shaking, and Newbi is highly criticized, but a large part of the loss of control of Hutchison Whampoa is due to the sequelae of the acquisition of the milk company back then. He is just taking the blame...

It’s okay to take the blame, but the culprit wants to make a comeback and snatch the throne of the senior class. How can Nvbijian tolerate it?

So no matter what, we must prevent the Kessek family from re-entering the Jardines Service.

However, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back. In addition, how to sell the mess of Hutchison Whampoa stocks and how to deal with it, Niu Bijian was also confused...

He was worried, the phone rang on his desk, and the secretary reported: "Mr. Chen Bi is on Line 1.

Newbijian was stunned. HSBC held shares in Jardine Mahjong, and Chen Bi was one of the board members. However, he did not attend the board of directors just now, but just sent an agent to come, and the agent never said a word from beginning to end.

It's already past ten o'clock in the evening now, so Chen Bi called here at this time, why?

"Mr. Niubijian, are you interested in coming out for a drink?"

Lin Xingzhi's original name was Lin Shanmu. In his early years, he worked as a data collector at Ming Pao. In 2019, he went to Cambridge Institute of Technology in the UK to study economics. He graduated in 1969 and returned to Hong Kong. He was appreciated by Jin Yong and invited him to serve as the deputy editor-in-chief of Ming Pao Evening News and in charge of the economic edition. In 1973, the Hong Kong stock market crashed and the sales of Ming Pao Evening News plummeted. Jin Yong reduced the content of the financial edition and expanded the soft entertainment news and horse music content on the grounds that citizens no longer pursue serious financial news. Lin Xingzhi was very dissatisfied with this, so he left Ming Pao Evening News and founded Xinbao Financial News. He had outstanding abilities and just happened to catch up with the opportunity of Hong Kong's economic takeoff and made the newspaper run very well.

Before Shen Chong acquired Xinbao Finance News, Lin Xingzhi served as the boss, editor-in-chief and author, and wrote "Short Political and Economic Reviews" in the newspaper to analyze and comment on the political and economic situation in Hong Kong and even the world. He is good at describing and analyzing difficult and complex economic theories in simple texts. He is the most well-known financial commentator in Hong Kong and is known as "Hong Kong's No. 1 Hard Writing".

However, Lin Xingzhi is good at writing short comments, while long comments, especially those involving large amounts of money and finance, are all handled by Cao Renchao, another authoritative commentator of the newspaper.

Cao Renchao's pseudonym "Sicong" was once working in an investment company. He had a unique vision and outstanding writing style. As early as October 1977, when the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa was only 13.5, he predicted in the Xinbao that Hutchison Whampoa would become a hot investment in 1978. Soon after, Li Ka-shing took action against Hutchison Whampoa, and the stock price soared to a high of 46 yuan. Sicong also became a "stock market fortune teller" sought after by Hong Kong stock investors.

That night, Cao Renchao was sleeping with his wife with his head covered. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the phone rings loudly, waking up the dream. He was too lazy to turn on the lights, so he fumbled on the bedside table a few times, grabbed the phone, and before he could speak, he heard Lin Xingzhi's excited voice.

"Achao, come to the company quickly, I'll wait for you in the office. There are big news and super big news, come quickly."

"Lao Lin, what big news can there be at midnight?" Cao Renchao looked at the alarm clock in a sleepy way through the light leaking in the curtains and complained: "It's twelve o'clock now, and the newspaper will be printed tomorrow. Even the big news is too big to catch up."

"I've stopped printing. Come to the company to write news and comments, and then start printing again after writing."

"Old Lin, are you crazy?" Cao Renchao suddenly woke up and said, "Stop printing now, retype and add content. It may not be completed until two or three o'clock. If it cannot be listed on time tomorrow morning, newspaper sales will plummet. Are you responsible? You must know that you are not the boss now, you are just an editor-in-chief who is staring at the God of Wealth."

"It doesn't matter, I've said hello to him." Lin Xingzhi was still excited and said loudly: "This time I got the news about Shen Caishen. Come here quickly, Shen Caishen and Jardine Shek settled and I got the content of the agreement between the two parties."

In the afternoon, Li Kaiyuan's bold words at the press conference were still echoing in his ears. After only a few hours, he reconciled?

Cao Renchao was shocked. He quickly turned over and got out of bed, and while putting on his pants randomly, he asked, "Is the news reliable?"

"It's true, God of Wealth told me in person." Lin Xingzhi laughed and said, "You know, after the press conference in the afternoon, the content of the interview he gave me at noon became worthless nonsense, so I spent all night in the investment department on the sixth floor. My hard work pays off, and finally let him give me a big news."
