In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

In fact, by now, many people in the media have already known that Jardine Matheson is behind this matter, and everyone thinks that Fortress Electrical Appliances Company is no longer able to deal with the matter this time.

Unexpectedly, Lin Haoran, who had remained silent in the incident, already had the capital to resist Jardine Matheson!
"Then I wonder if Mr. Li dares to let TVB broadcast this video?" Lin Haoran asked with a smile.

"Dare? Of course I dare not! This will bring many benefits to TVB!" Li Xiaohe agreed without hesitation.

TVB does not have to look at the face of Jardine Matheson, because there are some British and American financial groups backing TVB.

"In that case, this tape will be handed over to Mr. Li. I hope Jade Channel can broadcast this program at 7 o'clock tonight!" Lin Haoran said solemnly.

"Of course, this is no problem at all. Our Li family is friends with Mr. Lin, so we can still help with this small matter!" Li Xiaohe said with a smile.

Not only can it give Lin Haoran face, but it can also grab the ratings of ATV during tonight's time slot. Why not do it!

After chatting with Li Xiaohe for a few words, Lin Haoran said goodbye to him.

Mr. Li will die in a dozen days, so there is no need to have too much contact with him.

If it weren't for the matter of Fengze Electrical Appliance Company this time, he would never have thought of dealing with Li Xiaohe.

For the whole day, neither the Hong Kong Electric Group nor Lin Haoran made any external statements.

Even the boss of Jardine Matheson thought that the Hong Kong Electric Group had admitted defeat.

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was seven o'clock in the evening.

Since the beginning of this year, as ATV has invested more and more in TV dramas, its ratings have gradually surpassed its competitor TVB.

But TVB's ratings are actually not too bad. At most, they are only slightly inferior to ATV.

So, at this moment, in many families, the whole family is watching TV. Many of the TV stations they turn on are ATV, but equally many people are turning on TVB's TV stations.

"We have to urgently insert a piece of news. This news is also a video recorded by Tang Jie, the former technical superintendent of the Criminal Department of the Royal Hong Kong Police..." On the Jade Channel, Sister Wang Mingquan suddenly inserted a piece of news when everyone was looking forward to the TV series, just like she did on ATV last night.

Suddenly, this incident attracted a lot of viewers. Some viewers who were originally watching ATV switched to Jade Channel at the call of their neighbors.

When the video was over, everyone started discussing it, about family, convenience store entrance, etc.

At the entrance of a convenience store in Tsim Sha Tsui, the owner moved a TV to the door to play games, attracting many citizens who did not have a TV at home.

At this moment, they watched the video and started talking about it.

"Isn't this Jardine Matheson Company too shameful?"

"I didn't expect that all this was caused by Jardine Matheson. I'm not surprised if it was them. Hasn't Jardine Matheson done enough bad things over the years?"

"We should boycott Jardine Matheson, these British-owned companies with family assets!"

"Yes, I also think that Jardine Matheson first manipulated the Hong Kong Times and then bribed the police to falsely accuse Fortress Electrical Appliances. It's really abominable!"

"I remember that at the beginning of the year, Jardine Matheson wanted to acquire China Gas Company, but it was eventually acquired by Mr. Lin Haoran. This made them lose face. Maybe they hold a grudge because of this incident, and this time they are taking revenge on Mr. Lin Haoran. After all, Hong Kong Electric Group is Mr. Lin Haoran's company."

"Your guess is very likely!"

"I wrongly blamed Fortress Electrical Company and Hong Kong Electric Group!"

"Oh, damn Jardine Matheson, they are manipulating public opinion and want us to be their weapons. How despicable."

At this moment, Jardine Matheson, which had been operating behind the scenes, was pulled directly to the front of the stage.

At this moment, everyone finally understood why Fortress Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd., the Hong Kong electrical appliance retail giant, has been reported one after another.

It’s no wonder that the mastermind behind this is Jardine Matheson, the king of foreign firms.

This video on Jade Channel has received a huge response. This time, no one doubted that Jardine Matheson was behind the incident anymore, because Tang Jie in the video also showed a check for HK$100 million. The check had a clear seal from the financial department of Jardine Matheson, and the seal was also stamped yesterday when Tang Jie ran away!
In the blink of an eye, another night passed.

At this moment, someone discovered that all major news newspapers in Hong Kong were also reporting on this incident.

Originally, the draft had already been finalized by seven o'clock in the evening, and some newspaper printing plants had even started printing the next day's newspapers.

However, the video broadcast by Jade Channel forced many newspapers to stop printing. They had to reformat the layout and delete some articles. In addition, Jardine Matheson was manipulating the media behind the scenes to create fake news to frame Fortress Electrical Appliance Company.

Not only that, today's "Oriental Daily" also reported two scandals that happened to Jardine Matheson this year.

These scandals have solid evidence and cannot be washed away.

But when it happened, no media dared to report it because the other party was Jardine Matheson!

In Hong Kong, you can offend anyone except Jardine Matheson and Bank of Hong Kong.

But now, the Oriental Daily has taken the lead in breaking this curse and directly exposing some of the dark secrets of Jardine Matheson.

In the past, no one knew about these scandals because no media dared to report them and those who knew about them dared not speak out.

The Jardine Matheson Headquarters Building, a sturdy office.

At this moment, Niu Bijian was like an angry lion, holding the telephone and yelling in the office.

There were even many things smashed on the ground, such as a vase, which was now shattered into pieces.

Opposite him was the leader of the team that he controlled and worked for him, a British lady. "Tell me, why did this police officer take such a video in the Philippines, why did it get to Hong Kong so quickly, why did the check have to be stamped with the financial seal of Jardine Matheson, why, why!" Niu Bijian was so angry that his face turned red.

"Mr. Boss, I have done exactly what you told me. You didn't arrange for us to do anything after they arrived in the Philippines. In addition, I want to tell you one more thing. Oriental Daily has been acquired by Mr. Lin Haoran. Your attempt to use the news media to create public opinion to deal with the other party was wrong from the beginning. At the same time, Simon Keswick will also hold you accountable for this mistake at the shareholders' meeting!" The lady on the other end of the phone answered calmly.

The other party's words immediately left Niu Bijian speechless. His subordinates had indeed completely obeyed his instructions and completed all the tasks he had assigned.

In just one day, Jardine Matheson had become the object of hatred for everyone in Hong Kong.

However, as the business overlord of Hong Kong, Jardine Matheson is not without the power to resist.

At the same time, the Hong Kong Electric Group also held another press conference on the same day.

Lin Haoran spoke personally at this press conference.

"As a local entrepreneur in Hong Kong, I hope that Hong Kong will have a fair and just market competition environment. I am very disappointed with the actions of Jardine Matheson. I hope that Jardine Matheson can give me a satisfactory reply. I also need an apology from Mr. Niu Bijian!" Lin Haoran spoke directly to Niu Bijian on the spot!

Lin Haoran openly declared war on Jardine Matheson.

However, Jardine Matheson did not respond, as they were indeed in the wrong in this matter.

At the same time, Niu Bijian also used the influence of Jardine Matheson to contact major mainstream media in Hong Kong. Under their actions, all media promised not to report the incident the next day.

After all, most media outlets do not want to come into conflict with Jardine Matheson even if the other party comes to them.

The only exception is Oriental Daily News!
On the third day, Oriental Daily continued to report on a scandal involving Jardine Matheson & Co. in December last year.

Oriental Daily News is the best-selling newspaper in Hong Kong.

Even if other media do not continue to report on this matter, relying on the influence of Oriental Daily, the news heat will keep this matter going.

On the fourth day, Oriental Daily continued to report the scandal.

Day ...

Jardine Matheson has remained silent and has not made any apology.

In the blink of an eye, it was nine o'clock in the morning on June 6th.

Under the secret control of Lin Haoran, a massive march began in Causeway Bay to protest against the various unfair competition practices of Jardine Matheson.

Among these people, many are disguised as 13K personnel, some are employees of the Hong Kong Electric Group, and many are people who have been treated unfairly by Jardine Matheson.

At the beginning, there were only a few thousand people marching, but as time passed, by 9:30 in the morning, the number of marchers had exceeded 10,000, and was still increasing.

They went to the headquarters building of Jardine Matheson and shouted slogans at the entrance of the building to protest against the evil deeds of Jardine Matheson.

At this moment, even the police did not dare to intervene easily.

These people were not members of gangs but ordinary people, and the police station did not use violence to drive them away.

The avenue in front of the Jardine Matheson Building had already been completely blocked.

Niu Bijian stood in his office, staring at the scene happening downstairs, and couldn't help feeling a little panic in his heart.

The development of the situation was completely beyond his control.

This cannot go on any longer.

He turned back to his desk and quickly made a phone call: "Mr. Governor, this is Niu Bijian. I have something urgent to discuss with you... I hope you can come forward and help us reconcile the relationship between us and Mr. Lin Haoran. Yes, I really need your help... OK, I'll wait for your good news!"

……

In the Wanqing Building not far away, Lin Haoran was also standing in his office, looking at the huge parade crowd a few hundred meters downstairs, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

This time, he was determined to go all out and go directly against Jardine Matheson.

Make a fuss, the bigger the better.

If the government really wants to help Jardine Matheson and take action against him again, he can just withdraw his investment and run away without staying in Hong Kong.

This time, he wants to make everyone in Hong Kong's business community afraid of him.

"Boss, we now hold more than 25% of the shares of Jardine Matheson Holdings!"

At this time, Su Zhixue came to Lin Haoran's office and reported to him respectfully.

In recent days, the share prices of Jardine Matheson and its listed companies such as Jardine Matheson Group and Jardine Securities have begun to plummet due to these incidents.

This naturally allowed Su Zhixue to seize this opportunity. While many people were selling off shares of Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Holdings, he began to secretly buy up shares in large quantities.

In just a few days, they held more Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Holdings shares than they usually did in a month.

"What about Jardine Matheson, how much does it have?" Lin Haoran asked with satisfaction.

"Jardine Matheson's shares have also increased to 14.8%. According to what we have learned, the major shareholder of Jardine Matheson, the Keswick family, only holds about 10% to 15% of the shares. The shares we hold are almost the same as those held by the Keswick family." Su Zhixue replied.

"Okay, continue to increase your holdings. Also, pay more attention to the situation at Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Land Group. Tell me any news in time." Lin Haoran replied. (End of this chapter)
