    Shen Chong's office is considered to be the most atmospheric office in Hong Kong because he uses the entire floor as a garden, while Nuo Bikin's office is considered to be the most imposing office in Hong Kong because he can overlook the entire Central.  Ever since he took up the position of Chief Executive of Jardine Matheson, whenever he encountered something difficult to decide, he would always stand behind the glass curtain wall of the office and overlook the rows of buildings around him. Because of the feeling of having one foot on everything and treating all living beings like ants,  It not only allows him to enjoy the pleasure brought by power, but also provides him with a clear, independent and objective mentality to face problems - as if God sees the world.  However, that night, after the board meeting, he stood alone in front of the glass curtain wall with a glass of whiskey in his hand, looking at the brightly lit Central, his brows furrowed, without any sense of pleasure, and without finding an objective and calm mind.  This board meeting rarely ended after more than three hours. There was not much controversy about abandoning Wharf. What was controversial was how to face Li Kaiyuan's hostile takeover.  Buy stocks instead of repurchasing the stocks in Li Kaiyuan's hands. With a strong posture of losing both sides, he warned all the consortiums who want to get involved in Jardine Matheson. On the one hand, the conservative group demanded that they negotiate with Li Kaiyuan as soon as possible to resolve the issue at the least cost.  Get rid of this hostile takeover.  Throughout the meeting, Siemenke always spoke in a smooth and peaceful manner, but he never expressed the Keswick family's true intentions. Not only that, he also did something that caught Newbjian off guard.  "The thing happened very suddenly. We lacked enough data and information to make analysis and judgment, and we did not have time to fully think and communicate. In this case, the decision made by voting may not be in the interests of the company, so I  I feel that the directors should leave the matter to experts to resolve. As we all know, Mr. Niu Bijian has outstanding abilities and is the world's first-class negotiator. He has had many contacts with Shen Chong and understands each other's personality and characteristics. I believe that,  If he takes full responsibility for this matter, he will definitely solve it perfectly. Siemenke's remarks made Niu Bijian very angry. As the chairman of the board of directors, he has the right to choose the way to deal with the hostile acquisition.  He doesn't want this decision-making power, because no matter whether he chooses toughness or stability, there are many negative problems. People will always find excuses to attack afterwards, and no matter how sharp Li Kaiyuan's words are, she will not be able to hold the controlling stake in a short time.  Jardine Matheson is even less likely to threaten New Bijian's position as the chief executive. On the contrary, the Keswick family is the real threat to his position as the chief executive. That's why New Bijian went to great lengths to convene a board of directors and give away the decision-making power.  ¡ª¡ªIf the board of directors votes collectively to decide what action to take, his responsibility will naturally be smaller. Once Li Kaiyuan's acquisition plan is realized, the Keswick family will be the biggest loser. New Bijian thought that Siemenke would be very nervous.  He took the initiative to seize power to deal with Li Kaiyuan, but he did the opposite and kicked the ball back again. Moreover, his remarks impressed many directors at the meeting, and finally passed the authorization proposal, with Niu Bijian having full power.  Responsible for solving the matter. It was obvious that Simenke was putting New Bijian on the fire to prepare for his brother Henryk's return to Jardine Matheson. Thinking of this, New Bijian was upset, and he raised his glass and drank.  He took a sip of whiskey and cursed: "Damn it, it would be great if this woman could acquire more shares.  ¡± Indeed, if Li Kaiyuan had a few more shares, the situation would be greatly different. When Simon Keswick saw Li Kaiyuan announcing that she owned 15 shares of Jardine Matheson, she was very nervous, because this data was far from  Exceeding the shareholding held by the Keswick family will seriously damage the influence of the Keswick family in Jardine Matheson. And if you want to increase your holdings to the same number, you will need to pay a high price. But after O'Connor explained, he  He immediately became rational and calm, because there is not much pressure on the Keswick family if the shares are less than 10. With their family's financial resources and network, they are not afraid of competitors with equal shares. If Li Kaiyuan really owns it.  The Keswick family will definitely fight for the 15.0% stake in Jardine Matheson. In that case, New Bijian can sit back and watch the fight, but now, the Keswick family only needs to buy this insignificant share.  By exerting a little influence on the board of directors, Nu Bijian was pushed out as cannon fodder. Nu Bijian was very, very resistant to Henryk's return. On the one hand, it was a power struggle and there was no affection at all. On the other hand, Nu Bijian was very reluctant.  Jian was originally full of resentment towards Henrik. Although Henrik's series of expansion moves made Jardine Matheson a world-class business group, every expansion he presided over caused serious sequelae, such as the purchase of Land in 19 years.  Group, acquired the Hong Kong Dairy Company in a share exchange, which greatly reduced Jardine Matheson¡¯s control over the 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 4  Thousands of acres of sugar cane plantations, the stock market crash and the slump in the world sugar market have put a very heavy burden on Jardine Matheson. For example, also in 1973, Henryk was still buying up high-end real estate in London.?Not long after, the first oil crisis broke out, the British economy suffered a heavy blow, and the value of those real estates plummeted Henrik faced various crises, but instead of thinking about how to solve them, he chose to retire in his prime, taking with him the reputation of the "Prince of Foreign Traders"  , returned to London with great splendor, enjoying the leisurely aristocratic life, leaving behind a mess for New Bijian, and New Bijian spent five years and exhausted his endless efforts to finally turn the situation of Jardine Matheson into a new one.  Things are getting better, but this guy actually wants to come back and pick peaches?  You must know that according to convention, after taking office, the chief executive of Jardine Matheson will concurrently serve as the chief executive of Land Group and Wharf. With three crowns on his head, he is the most prestigious chief executive of a foreign company in Hong Kong. Now the crown of Wharf is crumbling, and the new crown is strong.  He was blamed, but a large part of the reason for the loss of control of Wharf was the sequelae of the acquisition of the milk company. He was just taking the blame Forget it, the culprit wanted to come back and steal the throne of Taipan, Niu Bi  How can I bear it?  So no matter what, we must prevent the Keswick family from re-entering Jardine Matheson. However, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back. In addition, how to sell the Wharf stock mess, and how to deal with it, New Bijian is also at a loss He  While he was worrying, the phone on his desk rang, and his secretary reported: "Mr. Shen Bi is on line 1." New Bijian was stunned. HSBC holds shares in Jardine Matheson, and Shen Bi is one of the board members, but just now  The board of directors was not present, but he only sent an agent, and this agent never said a word from beginning to end. It was already past ten o'clock in the night, and Shen Bi called at this time.  What? "Mr. Niu Bijian, are you interested in coming out for a drink?  ¡± Lin Xingzhi¡¯s original name was Lin Shanmu. He worked as a data collector for Ming Pao in his early years. In 1919, he went to the Cambridge Institute of Technology in the UK to study economics. After graduating in 1969, he returned to Hong Kong. Jin Yong appreciated him and invited him to serve as the deputy general manager of Ming Pao Evening News.  Editor, in charge of the economic section. In 1973, the Hong Kong stock market crash caused the sales of "Ming Pao Evening News" to plummet. Jin Yong reduced the content of the financial section and expanded the content of soft entertainment news and horse racing on the grounds that citizens no longer sought serious financial news. Lin Xingzhi  He was very dissatisfied with this, so he left "Ming Pao Evening News" and founded "Hong Kong Economic News". He was outstanding in ability, and he just caught the opportunity of Hong Kong's economic boom and made the newspaper successful. He acquired "Hong Kong Economic News" in Shen Chong.  Before "News", Lin Xingzhi was the boss, editor-in-chief and author. He wrote "political and economic commentaries" in newspapers to analyze and comment on the political and economic situation in Hong Kong and the world. He was good at describing difficult and complex economic theories in simple words.  He is the most well-known financial commentator in Hong Kong and is known as "Hong Kong's No. 1 penman." However, Lin Xingzhi is good at writing short comments, and long comments, especially those involving large amounts of money and finance, are all written by another person in the newspaper.  The authoritative commentator Cao Renchao, whose pen name is "Sicong", used to work in an investment company, has a unique vision and outstanding writing skills. As early as October 1977, when the share price of Wharf was only 13.5, he was an editor in the Hong Kong Economic Journal.  " predicted that Wharf would become a hot investment in 1978. Soon after, Li Ka-shing took action on Wharf, and the stock price soared to a high of 46 yuan. Sicong has thus become a "stock market fortune teller" sought after by Hong Kong investors.  That night, Cao Renchao was sleeping with his beloved wife in his arms. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the phone rang loudly, waking him up from his dream. He didn't bother to turn on the light, so he fumbled around 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'm waiting for you in the office. There's big news, super big news. Come quickly." "Old Lin, you can do it in the middle of the night."  What's the big news?  "Cao Renchao looked at the alarm clock sleepily through the light leaking in through the cracks in the curtains, and complained: "It's already twelve o'clock, and tomorrow's newspapers have already been printed, and even the big news can't be made in time.  " "I've stopped printing. Come to the company quickly and write news reviews. Once you've finished, we'll start printing again.  " "Old Lin, are you crazy?  Cao Renchao suddenly came to his senses and said: "Stop printing now and re-layout and add content. We may not be able to finish it until two or three o'clock. If it cannot be released on time tomorrow morning, the sales of the newspaper will plummet. Are you responsible?"  You must know that you are not the boss now, you are just the editor-in-chief with the God of Wealth watching over you.  " "It doesn't matter, I've said hello to him.  Lin Xingzhi was still excited and said loudly: "What we got this time is the news about Shen Caishen. Come here quickly. Shen Caishen and Jardine Matheson have reconciled. I have obtained the contents of the agreement between the two parties."  " Li Kaiyuan's heroic words at the press conference in the afternoon are still echoing in my ears. It has only been a few hours and they have reconciled? Cao Renchao was so surprised that he quickly got out of bed and put on his pants indiscriminately while asking  : ¡°Is the news reliable?  " "It's absolutely true, Shen Caishen told me personally.  Lin Xingzhi laughed loudly and said, "You know, after the press conference in the afternoon, theyThe content of the interview he gave me in the afternoon turned out to be worthless nonsense, so I spent the whole night talking to him in the investment department on the sixth floor. The hard work paid off, and he finally gave me a big piece of news.  "
