Reborn Capital Madman

Benjamin arranged everything for Gao Xian. It was clear that he had received Sir Gao's hospitality when he went to Xiangjiang, and now he should act like a landlord. When he leaned back on the luxurious and comfortable leather seat, his whole body felt...

He felt so relaxed that Gao Xian could start planning something in his mind. After all, he couldn't be in danger in vain.

After arriving at the hotel, Benjamin said: "Sir Gao, Sir Zhai Kecheng, you two and the entourage will take a short rest first. The medical team will do a preliminary health check for you. When the first lady arrives, I will inform you immediately that everyone is okay.

Take this opportunity to call your family and let them know you are safe."

Gao Xian said in a low voice: "Benjamin, I have a grudging request. When you announce the plane accident, can you hold off on disclosing all the recent situations between me and Sir Zhai Kecheng, because I want to take the opportunity to observe the subordinates on the other side of Xiangjiang.

Whether the loyalty of friends and the goodwill of friends can stand the test."

"Understood! Understood!" Benjamin laughed knowingly. It's just a matter of fighting for power and gain. We are also very good at it. "Then let's just say that the passengers and crew members will land safely and will be arranged to go to the hospital for a physical examination. How about that? However,

, this delay will not be too long. After all, the whole world is paying attention, and with so many tourists and family members involved, it is likely that some of them can’t wait to come and visit.”

"Twenty-four hours is almost enough." Gao Xian said leisurely: "Of course, if the time is longer, the effect should be better."

Zhai Kecheng saw that Benjamin had a strange smile when he left, so he asked suspiciously: "Sir Gao, what were you talking about just now? Why do I feel that there is a mystery in it."

"It's nothing. I just hope that he will arrange for him to disclose only the necessary part of the news about us, so that everyone can rest as peacefully as possible before leaving Luzon." Gao Xian smiled, "By the way, Sir Zhai Kecheng,

In the past two days, apart from calling Mrs. Ling to report that she is safe, it is best not to contact anyone else, including the government. This will also show the degree of danger we encountered. Maybe we can receive more condolences subsidies by then.

Woolen cloth."

Are you, Sir Gao, such a clever person? You clearly want me to cooperate with you in causing trouble. Zhai Kecheng moved his lips, but in the end he did not say any objection. Because through this accident, unknowingly,

He has been impressed by Gao Xian's unflappable leadership in the face of danger.

To put it bluntly, Zhai Kecheng, the Financial Secretary, is basically "wasted". In the coming time, it will be difficult for him to find the courage to supervise and check and balance Gao Xian in terms of his duties.

After calmly signaling to his assistant to "take care of" Zhai Kecheng, Gao Xian began to call his family and subordinates.

…

After hearing that Sir Gao's Cathay Pacific flight was in distress, the reaction in Xiangjiang ranged from worry, anxiety, to secret joy, and even ecstasy, thinking that the opportunity had finally come and he could do something big. As long as Gao Xian was not in Xiangjiang

, Yihe, who is secretly relaxed and even wants to take action, belongs to this type.

Jardine Headquarters Building.

Watching what was being broadcast on TV, at an emergency press conference held by Cathay Pacific, Duncan Brueck solemnly announced that according to official news from Manila, the malfunctioning plane landed safely and that none of the passengers or crew members died.

Bao Weishi, He's great military advisor, frowned and said, "Gao Xian, a happy and beneficial soul, is really tough."

Simon Keswick, the chief executive of Jardine He, was equally disappointed. "Even if you are not dead, you can be disabled. It will create some opportunities."

After Duncan Brucker on TV finished talking about Cathay Pacific's various remedial measures, Davis, general manager of Jardine, sent the latest information. According to the news obtained by Jardine's branch in Luzon,

The Boeing 747 that was involved in the accident did successfully land at the Manila International Airport. Although there were many injured and they were all sent to the hospital, it may be true that as Luzon officials had promoted, the rescue was very successful and no one died.

At this introduction, Davis shrugged. As you all know, Luzon is a dictatorship. The government has the ability to let the outside world only know the information it is allowed to know. Since the assassination of Zheng Zhi that shocked the world, the Manila International Airport has

Control has always been very strict, including this rescue. Although many media reporters were allowed to enter, they all followed orders.

However, it can be seen that the Luzon government regarded this rescue as an important opportunity to improve its international image. The rescue must have been effective and the news that no one died will not be adulterated.

"The worst outcome for Gao Xian is that he is injured and hospitalized." Bao Weishi said thoughtfully.

Simon Keswick suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, Deputy Financial Secretary Zhai Kecheng is also on the plane. Is there any news about him?"

"I heard about it by the way." Davis nodded, "The government has received the news that Zhai Kecheng needs to rest for a while."

"That's right." Simon Keswick patted his thigh smartly, "As Zhai Kecheng, he must be sitting not far from Gao Xian. Zhai Kecheng was injured, and Gao Xian could not escape either, but for

We should keep it secret so as not to disturb the Xiangjiang side."

Davis' eyes lit up and he said: "What you mean is that as long as Gao Xian is injured and has to recuperate, his control over Land will inevitably weaken, and this is our opportunity to take action."

Bao Weishi asked: "What's happening with the generals of Gao Yi's group?"

"Except for Ye Licheng contacting the Colonial Secretary Xia Dingji, no relevant news has been received." Davis thought for a while, "Also, it is said that the Governor's Office received a message from Congressman Yi Huirong who is closely related to Mrs. Thatcher.

Telephone."

"The love between husband and wife is really deep. They are thinking about each other all the time, but it's a pity that it is beyond our reach." Simon Keswick sneered, "Nevermind, let's have a meeting and ask Peter Wei, the chairman of the board of directors of Hongkong Land, to come and participate in the meeting."

Davis reminded, "Peter Wei is not stupid. Will he show up during this special period?"

Bowser said with a feather fan and silk scarf gesture: "It doesn't matter, Land bought 5% of Jardine's shares at the bottom, just because he has always been obsessed with the new Central Land King. Tell him, in this meeting, we will discuss the new Central Land King.

project."

…

A great strategist is a great strategist, and Wei Peter arrived as expected, with a face full of arrogance that could not be concealed.

It’s no wonder that from the perspective of market value alone, Jardine Matheson, which is mired in debt of nearly 20 billion, currently has a market value of around 4 billion, which is extremely bad. Landmark is several times that. In the past, both parties

Their status is that of boss and junior, now at least they need to be adjusted.

After the meeting began, Bauvis chatted for a while, praising Land's entry into London, its acquisition of the Stamford Bridge stadium company, its involvement in the development of new towns in London's abandoned docklands, and even rumors that it would acquire the British national department store Fraser's.

The group has made great achievements in the international expansion of its business, and so on.

Peter Wei impatiently interrupted the flattery and said, "Why are you talking nonsense? This meeting is not about discussing the new Central Land King. As long as Jardine is willing to let go, half of its debt pressure can be relieved immediately."

Davis couldn't help but sneered and said sarcastically that Landmark really has a collecting habit and would not let go of any prime land in the core area of ​​Central.

Wei Peter counterattacked angrily, "Originally, the new Central Land King should belong to Land, but you, Yihe, have resorted to some unflattering means. Don't think I don't know. I have never suffered such a secret loss."

You can't look back on the past, and you should always look forward when doing business. After settling the matter, Bowser tried to say: "Since Land is so keen on the new Central Land King, it would be better to merge Land with Jardine. Anyway, the two parties were one company before.

At that time, the New Central Land King project naturally belonged to Land."

Now it was Wei Peter's turn to sneer, "Fuck you, who doesn't know what kind of mess Jardine is in now? Why should Landmark be taken advantage of?"

"This is professionals deliberately pretending not to know how to do it." Bowser argued unhurriedly that the problems currently facing Jardine are indeed serious, but as long as the capital turnover is opened, the crisis will be turned around, and the incomparable diversification will remain the same.

As for Land, even though its financial situation is good, its financial situation is good, but its business scope is narrow. It went to London, where the market space is larger, to expand its business. In addition to seeking internationalization, it is not seeking diversification.

Having said this, Bauvis dropped a bombshell. Of course, Landmark, which has brought about the improvement of capital flow, has the greatest credit. After the merger of Landmark and Jardine, not only will the new Central Land King be yours, but even Taipan will be yours.

It's yours, and you can be given a personal signing fee of no less than one million pounds.

Peter Wei was finally moved, and turned to Simon Keswick, "Why, the Keswick family is so open-minded?"

"I have to admit that the situation is stronger than the people." Simon Keswick shrugged, "As long as Jardine's family business is still there, Keswick's shareholder income will still be there."

Wei Peter looked at Simon Keswick, Bowers, and Davis with suspicion for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, even if your proposal is very attractive, I can't make the decision."

Bao Weishi said seductively: "As far as I know, Happy Strategy Holdings has transferred 15% of Xiangjiang Land shares to Wanguo Land registered in the United Kingdom. I only have 19.9% ​​left. I

It is speculated that this move is to strengthen the British-owned character of the Land Group and make it easier to develop in the British market. Presumably, British executives must have a great say in Wanguo Land."

"At this juncture, Gao Xian's influence on the Land Group has inevitably decreased. It is a good time for you to decide for yourself which direction the Land Group will go."

"If the current situation in Hong Kong continues to develop, we should place our headquarters in the UK so that we can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and our life after retirement will be more secure."

Seeing that Peter Wei was still silent, Simon Keswick spoke provocatively, "You were originally working as a partner with Richard Richard in Hutchison, why are you so indecisive? Look at Richard, the senior class member of Hutchison, even if Li Bancheng is special like Hui Feng

We took care of it and obtained a controlling stake in Hutchison, but Hutchison was still in the hands of the management headed by Richard Letter!

Weiss added: "The business atmosphere here in Xiangjiang is still a bit conservative. Over in the United States, the management is not a puppet on a string."

"It's not just a matter of controlling stake." Peter Wei shook his head, "You don't know the specific situation of Land. Land's development path is very clear now. At this stage, there is no big success in the Xiangjiang market. We will strive to achieve a breakthrough in the British market.

, the acquisition of the Stamford Bridge Stadium Company is a very encouraging starting point, and the overall situation will be decided after the acquisition of Frasers Hospitality Group."

"You have to know that many members of Fraser's Department Store Group are time-honored brands and own their store land. To put it in perspective, even if the department store business is in a downturn, the land can still make a difference. Especially, Fraser's

The flagship store of the department store group, Harrods Department Store, has a particularly good location and has been certified by the British royal family. Sir Gao is quite optimistic about this."

Simon Keswick laughed loudly, you yourself spoke so well of Frasers Hospitality Group, why did its shareholders want to sell it? Even if the other party agreed, what kind of high price would Land have to pay? If it is really that easy to internationalize business,

Why are Jardine and Huifeng progressing so slowly?

There are some unspoken rules that are meaningless when spoken out.

Land acquired the Stamford Bridge stadium company in London and claimed to participate in the development of new towns in London's abandoned dock area. This was more symbolic than actual results. In the end, it only facilitated the stock market and bank financing in Hong Kong. Just like before bankruptcy liquidation.

Like Jia Ning, bragging about his real estate project in Oakland, USA, isn't it a joke?

Peter Wei was a little dissatisfied. Don't compare Chen Songqing and Sir Gao. Land's current development is much better than when it was under Jardine. Otherwise, why did Jardine lose Land in the first place?

Simon Keswick angrily argued that it was because Gao Xian was too good at sneak attacks and had no moral ethics!

Bowser coughed slightly and brought the topic back to the wrong topic. I can understand the pressure that Sir Gao brought to Land Management. In fact, compared with Land's expansion in London through acquisitions, Land merged with Jardine Matheson and merged with Jardine Matheson.

With you as the taipan, the expansion effect achieved is even more outstanding. From a business perspective, Sir Gao will accept it as long as he remains rational. If you are accused, that is wrong.

Peter Wei listened and laughed. I have figured out your wishful thinking. It is that Jardine is so poor that it wants to trick Land into becoming a cash machine. Even if the merger of the two companies fails in the end, Jardine will still get

I had no chance to breathe, but I was charged with making arbitrary decisions and lost my good job.

Instead of taking risks like this, why don't I let Land and Land acquire Frasers Department Store Group according to its original development plan? Even if it fails, it is not my responsibility alone. As for the new Central Land King, when Yihe is completely exhausted,

It's never too late.

Seeing that Peter Wei was about to stand up and leave, Bauvis waved his hand and asked, if Land expands to London, how much price will Sir Gao be willing to pay for the acquisition of Fraser's Department Store Group?

It’s okay to tell you, Peter Wei replied casually, Sir Gao’s psychological price is about 600 million pounds.

It couldn't be so cheap, and there weren't as many land auctions and real estate developments in the New Central Land King project. Simon Keswick's head shook like a rattle.

Bowser thought for a while, asked Weber to wait for a moment, and signaled Davis to entertain Weber, and then dragged Simon Keswick. He changed places and didn't know what the secret discussion was about.

When Weber lost his patience and planned to leave directly, Bowes and Simon Keswick returned.

Bowers suggested that we make a bet. Land and Jardine Matheson would initiate merger negotiations, and Land Land would temporarily help Jardine Matheson ease its financial pressure; if before Christmas, Land Land successfully acquires Frasers Hospitality at a price of no more than 600 million pounds.

For the department store group, the New Central Land King project will be taken away by Landmark at the same price. As for whether the merger negotiations will continue, it will be decided by Landmark. Of course, the exit method can be further discussed.

Simon Keswick calmly stood aside and urged him. This is Landmark's last chance to get the new Central Land King project. If you can't make the decision, you can ask Gao Xian for instructions.

Peter Wei said that it must be clear that Land can help Jardine to ease its financial pressure. Well, Land will lend 200 million to Jardine. If Land successfully acquires Frasers Department Store Group at a price of no more than 600 million pounds, then this amount will be

The money is considered as the deposit for purchasing the new Central Land King.

Bao Weishi said that 200 million yuan is not enough to fill the gap between teeth. Moreover, what if Land's acquisition of Fraser's Department Store Group fails?

Peter Wei's old face turned red. "What's the big deal? I won't give up on the 200 million yuan. I still have this authority. As for the merger of Land and Jardine, it still needs to be put on the board of directors of Land and Land to study it carefully."

If it looks like it will work, you can find a lawyer to write the documents. If it doesn't work, break up the relationship.

Simon Keswick waved his hand magnanimously, "Okay, okay, let's just follow this idea."
