Chapter 94 Aftermath

In the Recreation Building, Jardine's senior office, Newbi sat on a large office chair, holding a wine glass, opening hands-free, listening to Henrik's roar expressionlessly.

"...It took me U years to receive Kinmen Construction under Jardine Co., Ltd., and you sold it in one night? Do you know that Kinmen Construction is the only construction company in Asia that can compete with Japan's Japanese Construction Co., Ltd.? We have many engineering projects in Singapore and Malaysia, and they all need the support of Kinmen Construction. Without it, what can we use to compete with the Japanese? And you have sold only HK$900 million."

"DavIn, you need to explain to the board of directors for your behavior." The other end of the phone calmed down a little, and said, "I don't think you are suitable to continue to serve as the senior class of Jardine Mahjong."

Newbijian swept away the haze of yesterday. He looked relaxed. After taking a sip of whiskey, he didn't pick up the microphone and said to the phone: "Uh, you know, yesterday the board of directors authorized me to handle this matter with full authority, and I don't need to explain to the board."

"You must explain that you are too weak and actually frightened by an Asian woman. The honor and dignity of Jardinet Foreign Company cannot be humiliated like this. As a noble and gentleman of the British Empire, I really feel ashamed of you. I will take the flight to Hong Kong this afternoon."

Newbijian valued honor the most. He heard the words and looked as if he was as heavy as water. He emphasized his tone and said in a tit-for-tat way: "Shen Bi told me that if the stock price of Jardine Wong Foreign Company exceeds 70 yuan, HSBC would transfer the shares of Jardine Wong Foreign Company they held to that Asian woman. The shares of Ur were arranged by you back then. Now, tell me, what would you do if you were me? Does the Kessek family want to continue to be a major shareholder? You should know that behind that woman is a rich man with a net worth of more than one billion US dollars, he can easily push the stock price to more than 70."

"For personal dignity and honor, let Jardinea fight on the third line, and face HSBC, Bao Yugang and the rich man named Shen Chong? I haven't gone crazy yet."

"Uh I have communicated with many directors. They support my decision this time. You should enjoy a leisurely aristocratic life in London. Don't come back. Hong Kong has changed a lot and is not suitable for you."

The other end of the phone was silent, with only heavy breathing sounds. After a while, he finally said nothing and hung up the phone without any gentlemanly demeanor.

"If Shen Chong and Li Kaiyuan's stock market sniping behavior only involve money, the returns are not high... There were rumors that at the critical moment of the battle for Hutchison Whampoa, Bao Yugang was willing to acquire the shares in Shen Caishen's hands at a high price of 105 yuan per share. The cost of the shares in Hutchison Whampoa in Shen Caishen will never exceed 55 yuan. In this way, as long as his RU00,000 shares of Hutchison Whampoa stocks are sold, the net profit will be at least 400 million Hong Kong dollars. This time, he only sold 5 million shares at the price of each share.

, earned 6.5 billion Hong Kong dollars less... The UU 10,000 shares of Jardine Wong Foreign Company in the transaction agreement were calculated at the cost of each share, and used 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and finally only received 400 million cash and ownership of Kinmen Construction... The cost of 500 million yuan, plus a book loss, and 400 million yuan in cash. In other words, Shen Caishen spent 9.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy Kinmen Construction from Jardine Wong Foreign Company. Since Newbijian sold Kinmen Construction to Land Group in 1978, the value of Kinmen Construction has been greatly reduced..."

"What's the point of taking such a big effort? I would rather make a big concession and lose 100 million yuan in profits than snatch Kinmen buildings from Jardine Massachusetts. What's the purpose of? Let's take a look at the information on Kinmen buildings first."

"The origin of Kinmen Construction can be traced back to the head office established by the famous British architect John Kinmen in India in 1919. In 1954, the Hong Kong government decided to reclaim the sea in Kowloon Bay and upgrade Kai Tak Airport to an international airport. Kinmen Construction is the contractor of this project. In 1955, Kinmen Construction separated from the head office and became an independent company. In 1970, Kinmen Construction was listed and raised UU million Hong Kong dollars. It defeated Land Group that year and grabbed the golden land of the Golden Bell Road in the Central Riverside. Then, it built Kinmen Building, one of the landmark buildings in Hong Kong. In 1975, Jardinet Foreign Company fully acquired Kinmen Construction in a share exchange and privatized it..."

"From the above history, Kinmen Construction is the most famous and most powerful building and civil engineering company in Hong Kong and even the entire Southeast Asia. Representative construction projects such as Kai Tak International Airport, Hong Kong Metro Construction Project, Hong Kong Island Sewage Treatment, Tuen Mun Highway Construction, Kangle Building, Kinmen Building, etc., from airports to railways, from reclamation to highways, from buildings to luxury houses, built everything, rich experience and strong strength.

"As we all know, Shen Caishen claimed to build a tallest building in Asia in the mainland. Many industry insiders in Hong Kong expressed doubts about this, because the mainland has not yet had a building with more than 40 floors and has no experience in building skyscrapers. With Kinmen Building, all technical problems will no longer exist... At the same time, we must also note that the previous issue of "Shengshi Oriental Weekly" published the recent new laws and regulations in the mainland and the trends of high-level leaders. More than one of them mentioned that it is necessary to vigorously develop the construction industry... Not to mention it, Shenzhen, which is across the river from Hong Kong, is vigorously developing municipal construction. It is reported that in the next few years, Shenzhen丨 will not only expand the existing railway station, but also open an international airport, and there is also a planned Guangzhou-Shenzhen to Shenzhen! Expressway... Shen Yishen has a good relationship with the mainland's high-level leaders. With Kinmen Building, the career will surely be more wings..."

Bao Yugang carefully read the comments on "Xinbao Finance News" and then said to Wu Guangzheng: "A Zheng, in the future, you should have more contact with Shen Chong, play ball together, or go out to see the sea together, make friends, and don't always think about competing with him."

"Dad, I never thought about fighting with him."

"Don't refuse to admit it. I see that every time you see him, you will hold your energy and want to compete with him." Bao Yugang put down the newspaper and said, "It is normal for young people to be very arrogant and dislike each other. Only when some fight can they make progress, but Shen Chong has become a climate, wealth, fame, connections, relationships, and abilities. You are still helping me, but the pattern is a lot worse, and you can't compete with him."

Wu Guangzheng was silent.

"There are not hundreds of good things under Jardine Mall, but at least dozens of them, such as Wellcome Supermarket, Mandarin Hotel, Excelsior Hotel, Pier in Singapore, and Luxury Buildings in the UK, are all very high-quality assets. You see, Shen Chong doesn't want anything, as long as Kinmen Construction, you know that his goal is very small. Last time you went to Beijing with me, I believe you can feel that the infrastructure in the mainland is very poor. The worse it is, the greater the potential. With such a large territory in the mainland, as long as the economy comes together, the construction industry will be one of the best prospects in China in the next few decades."

"Dad said it."

"After the stock delivery is completed today, Shen Chong still has about 3 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa. I plan to invite him to join the board of directors." Bao Yugang did not ask Wu Guangzheng's opinion, but continued: "Young people, they can't be the director of Jardine Whampoa overnight, Hutchison Whampoa and Hutchison Whampoa, and they are extremely glorious."

"He also joined the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa?"

"Li Ka-shing is best at managing interpersonal relationships. He will not miss the icing on the cake. Moreover, he and Shen Chong have long had a tacit understanding. He pulled him to the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa, which is also a big helper."
