Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 783 Ends "Two Chapters in One"

  Comparing Landmark and Jardine, the Oriental Mandarin Hotel is naturally nothing, but after Yang Chen's split, there is no subsidiary company that Landmark's company can take out.

  Simon Keswick looked at Yang Chen hesitantly, only to see the other party sitting leisurely on the sofa drinking tea, looking like he didn't care much.

   Seeing this, Simon Keswick swallowed the words that came to his lips. The purpose of his trip was to negotiate peace with Yang Chen and end the grievances between the two families.

   Now that Yang Chen has let go, he is no longer staring at Jardine Matheson and Landmark. The concession is already huge. If he continues to make further progress, there is a risk that the negotiation will collapse.

  Simon Keswick gritted his teeth secretly, "Okay, Oriental Mandarin Hotel, I'll leave it to Yang Sheng."

   "Except for the Oriental Mandarin Hotel, several other companies need me to return to Hong Kong and then hold the Jardine House Board of Directors meeting to decide, but now there is no way to guarantee Yang Sheng."

  If it was an ordinary company, it wouldn’t need such trouble, but Yang Chen chose the most valuable and potential companies. Even if he, Simon Keswick, represented the Keswick family, he couldn’t make a decision arbitrarily.

  Yang Chen knew that he was ruthless across the board, and the matter was beyond the scope of the other party's rights, but he, Simon Keswick alone, couldn't make decisions on behalf of everyone.

   Therefore, Yang Chen didn't embarrass him, he just nodded and said, "Yes, as long as Jardine is willing to resell the shares of which companies to me, the misunderstanding between the two of us will be written off from now on."

  'Misunderstanding' Hearing these two words, it popped out of Yang Chen's mouth, Simon Keswick was full of black lines, and he had the urge to curse.

   Simon Keswick didn’t take Yang Chen’s words seriously. As a businessman, everything he does needs to put his interests first.

   Written promises are not necessarily useful these days, let alone verbal ones.

   However, being able to temporarily stabilize Yang Chen's side, so that the other party doesn't make trouble, so that he can reintegrate and receive the Jardine Group, this is the most important.

   The things in the future, who can say clearly.

   If there is a chance to cheat Yang Chen once, Ximen Keswick will definitely take Jardine to avenge him.

  Similarly, if Yang Chen is given another chance like this, he will give Yihe a ruthless attack, or even swallow the opponent directly, just like this time.

   Just when Simon Keswick was about to get up and leave, Yang Chen suddenly asked, "By the way, Mr. Simon Keswick, should Jardine be very short of funds now?"

  Simon Keswick stood up for a while, then froze on the spot, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

  If Jardine has no shortage of funds, will he come all the way from Xiangjiang?

   This time, the nice thing to say is to clear up the misunderstanding, and the uglier thing to say is to bow your head and admit defeat. As a proud Englishman, Simon Keswick can do this with great tolerance.

Seeing that Simon Keswick blushed and looked like he was holding back his anger, Yang Chen hurriedly explained: "Mr. Simon Keswick, don't get me wrong, I just want to remind you that according to what I have here. The shares of Jardine Matheson and Landmark may be worth far more than the market value of the few companies I ask for.

   Now that the misunderstanding between the two of us has been resolved, I will not choose to keep the shares of Jardine Matheson and Landmark. Mr. Simon Keswick needs to guarantee that you will accept all the shares I hold. "

   After listening to Yang Chen's explanation, Simon Keswick's face slowly returned to normal, and then he asked, "How many shares does Yang Sheng have?"

   "Hehe" Yang Chen smiled and didn't answer Simon Keswick's question, he wasn't stupid, the two sides were fighting so hard, how could he tell his old story.

   And when Simon Keswick finished speaking, he realized that he had asked in vain. Although he and Yang Chen have reached an agreement, but whether the matter can be accomplished in the end, it is up to the directors of the board of directors of Yihe over there to raise their hands to vote.

  If the board of directors fails to pass, then the two parties have to continue to fight until one party holds more than 50% of the shares.

  Simon Keswick: "What does Yang Sheng think?"

  Yang Chen: "Landmark has a lot of shops in good locations. I think Mr. Simon Keswick will sell them to the public. In that case, it's better to transfer them to me."

Most of the shops under   Landmark are located in the most prosperous business districts, with a large number and high prices.

   Simon Keswick also simply agreed without any hesitation, and Landmark will fully collect its assets in the future. Those more valuable stores will be resold sooner or later in exchange for funds.

   Whoever sells this is not for sale, Yang Chen will take over, and Jardine will be able to obtain funds faster.

   The problem was finally resolved, Simon Keswick stood up and said, "Yang Sheng, if there is nothing else to do, then I will leave first.

   "Walk slowly, don't send it away" Yang Chen raised his teacup, without moving his butt, watching the Xie family butler send Simon Keswick and his party away.

   After Simon Keswick left, Yang Chen turned his head and saw a pair of eyes staring straight at him. This person was none other than Lan Meiren.

   "What are you watching? It's been so long, haven't you seen enough?"

   Lan Meiren lowered her head embarrassedly, her pretty face was slightly red, and she cursed inwardly. After a while, she raised her head again and asked, "Boss, do you need to call General Manager Li and the others?"

   "What call do you want to call them?" Yang Chen was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Lan Meiren a little strangely.

   "Just now, boss, you are not"

   "What is it?"

   "Boss, you have promised"

   Before Lan Meiren could finish her sentence, Yang Chen shook his head and interrupted: "I promised something, but your boss, I didn't promise anything."

  “…”

   Seeing Lan Meiren's stunned expression, Yang Chen couldn't help worrying about the other party's IQ.

   "I ask you, who is the Taipan King of Jardine?"

   "It's New Wall" Halfway through the words, Lan Meiren couldn't help but stop, her big eyes blinked and blinked, and her cute expression made one couldn't help but want to take a bite.

   "It's New Bikin, right?"

   The blue beauty nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Look, the current head of Jardine is still the senior king of New Bijian, and the one who just left is just the other's successor. That is to say, he can take over as director of Jardine only after New Bijian steps down. Chairman of the Bureau."

   "Whether the ones he promised just now can be counted or not can only be determined after consultation with the directors of Jardine. It doesn't mean that he agreed, and the matter is over."

   After listening to Boss Yang's explanation, Lan Meiren showed a sudden realization, and then hesitantly said: "Then, Boss, should we prepare to go back to Xiangjiang next?"

   "Why are you going back?" Yang Chen shook his head vigorously and said, "Your boss, if I go back at this time, I don't know how many people are waiting to beat me, and I can't go back now."

   Although he came to Thailand, he did not break contact with Xue Yufei and the girls. He had already received the news that the old guys from the charter king were eager to catch him and beat him.

  The actions of Zheng Hiquan and others, although the charter king and the others did not suffer too much, the impact of the big environment is terrifying, especially for animals like humans, they especially like to follow suit.

  If Yang Chen didn't hide in Thailand, those old guys would definitely be able to run to his house to block the door.

Even if he wants to go back now, he doesn't dare to go back. He can only wait for the people from Yihe to give in, or Zheng Hiquan and others to take over Jardine or Landmark. With the power of the general trend, people have nothing to say. He can go back leisurely.

  Otherwise, he'll be sprayed alive by a bunch of old guys' salt soda.

  Yang Chen smiled wryly, with a headache, which made Lan Meiren want to laugh, but after laughing, at this time, she still consciously walked behind Yang Chen, put her hands on his head, and massaged him to relax.

   "Mmmm..." Being massaged by Lan Meiren's small hands, Yang Chen still had some headaches and discomfort, but all of a sudden it disappeared.

As soon as Lan Meiren massaged, she asked curiously: "Boss, if that Mr. Simon Keswick persuades the directors of Jardine after he goes back, we really have to agree to his terms and stop robbing Jardine Matheson. Landed?"

   "Otherwise? What else do you want?"

  The blue beauty pouted and kept moving her hands.

   "Do you know how much Jardine is in debt? How much is Landmark?"

   "I don't know." Lan Meiren moved her hands for a while, and said in a coquettish tone, "Boss, tell me."

   "Let's not talk about other things, let's just say that after the charter king robbed the Wharf a few years ago, Jardine's Taipan Wang Niu Bijian wanted to avoid the two holding companies of Jardine Matheson and Landmark from being remembered.

   After that, a large-scale acquisition was launched to expand the market value of the two companies.

  Take Landmark as an example. It is the most heavily indebted company in the entire Jardine family. Its liabilities amount to nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its liabilities are almost equal to its market value. "

   "Such a company, even if we swallow it up, still needs to carry huge debts. Although your boss and I are not short of that money, many companies under Landmark are too complicated to deal with."

   "There are more than 100 companies in the entire Jardine Department, and Landmark controls nearly half of them. So many companies, just sending people to receive them is not a small number. Your boss, I don't have so many people to arrange."

   "In business, you should not be impatient. Let's eat slowly. When we have another chance, it's the same for us to trouble them again, understand?"

   After being explained by Big Boss Yang like this, Lan Meiren, who was originally confused, finally figured it out.

   However, what she didn't know was that Yang Chen's thoughts were not like this at all.

   Land Land’s debts are not a problem for him. Once Land Land falls into his hands, those debts are not a problem at all. With the strong cash flow in his hands, repayment of debts is easy.

   Furthermore, given his current situation, which bank would urge him to repay the loan?

  Land Land owes tens of billions of dollars, even if it borrows another 10 billion, the bank will happily send the money over.

  Society is such a reality, it is easy for the rich to get loans, but it is extremely difficult for those who have no money.

   As for the fact that there are too many holding companies under Hongkong Land, there are not so many people responsible for it, which is even more nonsense.

  These three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged people are hard to find?

   After decades of development, there is not much in this place in Xiangjiang, but once a large number of talents are caught, there are all kinds of people, it depends on whether you want it or not.

   The reason why Yang Chen is willing to give in this time is not because of anything else, but because things are too big.

   One of them is the new richest man in China, and the other is a giant consortium that has been rampant in Asia for hundreds of years. The collision between the two forces, although the confrontation only lasted less than ten days, still caused a huge storm.

   Before, everyone's attention was on the Sino-British negotiation. With the conclusion of the Sino-British negotiation, everyone's focus will naturally focus on the stock market and the two of them.

   Originally, according to Yang Chen's thoughts, he was so well prepared that he caught the opponent by surprise and could end the dispute in the shortest time possible.

  I never thought about it, I bumped into a tortoise shell and just hit a bud. Obviously, after the Wharf was taken away, the Taipan King of Jardine has learned enough lessons.

   The entire Jardine was guarded by the opponent just like Tietong. Even if he was caught off guard by Zheng Hiquan and others, he still calmly fought back effectively.

   If the situation allows, he will naturally not give up, but now the situation does not allow.

  Because of Mrs. Thatcher's fall, the entire Hong Kong stock market was in a mess. At this time, neither the official nor the Hong Kong business community would allow the struggle between the two to continue for a long time.

   Instead of waiting for someone to step in, it’s better to take a step back and save the money to wait for the bottom line next year.

   As for being bitten by a snake instead of killing a snake, it's not that he underestimated Yihe and Simon Keswick.

   He can guarantee that with his rising speed, as long as Simon Keswick is not stupid, he will not take the initiative to trouble him.

   And he has to deal with Yihe, there is a way, given him a few years, he can completely hang and beat the other party.

   However, with the background of Jardine, as long as you tighten up your assets and be cautious, ordinary people really won’t be able to deal with it.

   Only when the 1997 Asian financial crisis broke out, the entire Asian country would be affected. At that time, the stronger the company, the greater the impact. At that time, it might be possible to solve Jardine in one fell swoop.

   Next, in addition to the big bargain hunters in Hong Kong, the most important thing is Japanese real estate, the 1985 Plaza Agreement, and several countries in Europe and the United States have joined forces to shear the island country.

  The appreciation of the yen is crazy, and the housing prices in Japan are rising crazy. That is the best chance to loot the island country.

   All the accumulation of the island country since World War II was completely destroyed. Yang Chen was very interested in earning money from the island people.

   If he wants to get huge rewards after the Plaza Accord, then he must make arrangements in advance. Next year and the next year are the best opportunities. Before the Plaza Accord, although the housing prices in Japan have been rising, the increase is not large.

  Compared to the Plaza Accord, the appreciation of the yen and the madness displayed by the islanders is the time for the real carnival.

  Imagine how crazy it is for a country where several small islands are spliced ​​together, and the total housing prices in their capitals are comparable to the land prices in the entire United States.
