Chapter 763 Xiangjiang has changed! (7K big chapter, please subscribe~)

   This night, Xiangjiang is destined to be a sleepless night!

   Just when Xiangjiang people thought their nightlife was coming to an end, a number of top oil tankers suddenly appeared on Hong Kong Victoria Harbor. Some night walkers noticed this situation and felt very curious.

   But what happened next on these yachts shocked everyone who saw the scene.

  Dozens of yachts are lined up in a row, and then there are fireworks all over the sky!

  These fireworks light up the night and shake the hearts of the people.

  Fireworks all over the sky bloomed on the yacht and then rose into the sky as if they didn’t need money.

   Those who had fallen asleep were also awakened by the shocking fireworks. They opened the curtains, and what they saw was the grand occasion in the world.

  Did I sleep until the Spring Festival?

   Subconsciously, these people thought so, and some even took out their calendars, only to realize that it was still tonight!

   So, where did the starry sky fireworks come from?

  Everyone has a question mark in their hearts!

  At the same time, all the people on duty in the newspaper office received a call at this time. They didn't sleep because they were still waiting for a call from Jardine or Huaren Real Estate.

  When these people answered the call from Huaren Real Estate, they called the printing factory immediately to tell the content of the front page headline that they had prepared.

   All the printing houses in Xiangjiang are destined to have a sleepless night tonight!

  The fireworks at Victoria Harbor started in the early morning and lasted exactly three hours. Afterwards, someone calculated that the cost of this fireworks show alone was at least two million Hong Kong dollars!

  After admiring the fireworks show all night, a question mark rose in everyone's heart!

what is this?

  The morning sun always makes people feel comfortable, and the slightly salty air makes every Xiangjiang person who gets up early take a deep breath. They understand that this is another busy day!

However, there are still some people who found the newsstand closest to their home in the first place. They really want to know what the firework show in the early hours of this morning was for. At the same time, they also want to know whether there will be news about the acquisition of Jardine announcement of the case.

   Liu Luanxiong is also one of them. The project of China Real Estate's acquisition of Jardine Land is really too big, and Liu Luanxiong can't participate in it at all.

   But this did not prevent him from paying attention to this matter. At the same time, he also knew about the fireworks show at Victoria Harbor last night. Thinking of this time, Liu Luanxiong subconsciously thought that something important must have happened in the newspaper today.

  At this time, Liu Luanxiong is not the famous Liu of Xiangjiang business circle, but the owner of a fan factory, not to mention Rolls-Royce, he can't afford to drive a Mercedes-Benz.

  So at this time Liu Luanxiong was driving a Ford!

  He got up early, didn't eat breakfast, left his residence directly, drove his Ford car, and came to a newsstand near his home.

   "Boss, one copy."

   Before Liu Luanxiong finished speaking, he had already seen the "Zhenbao" placed in the most conspicuous position of the newsstand, and the headline on the front page read impressively.

  ‘The most splendid fireworks in the history of Xiangjiang, the largest acquisition in the history of Xiangjiang! '

   Throwing the coin in his hand to the newsstand owner, Liu Luanxiong directly picked up a copy of "True Daily" and read it.

"The largest and most shocking commercial acquisition in the history of Xiangjiang business, which is enough to change the structure of Xiangjiang, has officially ended. According to the latest news from this newspaper, the acquisition of Jardine by Chinese Land has officially ended. The shares of the two groups held by Chinese Land have exceeded 50%, officially became its largest shareholder.

Mr. Wen Mingzhang, the president of China Land, specifically entrusted this newspaper to publish the news that he will officially start taking over the work of the two groups today. I hope that all the directors of Jardine will go to the Jardine headquarters in Kangle Building for a meeting at nine o'clock this morning. In addition, all the directors of Hongkong Land will go to Hongkong Land's headquarters for a meeting at two o'clock this afternoon!

Finally, Chinese Land also announced that in order to thank the shareholders of Heung Kong for their support to Jardine and Hongkong Land, they will pay dividends to the shareholders of the two groups before the new year in January next year. 1 Hong Kong dollar'

  Looking at the contents of the newspaper in his hand, Liu Luanxiong could clearly feel his body trembling slightly.

   This is exciting!

  Although Liu Luanxiong did not have any sense of participation in this matter, for him, there is a feeling of witnessing history.

   In fact, it is not only Liu Luanxiong who has such an idea.

  The "Economic Journal" on the newsstand is "witnessing history, Chinese Land officially completed the acquisition of Jardine Landmark!" ’ wrote this story for the headline.

  Holding the newspaper in his hand, Liu Luanxiong looked into the distance. On the streets of Xiangjiang in the early morning, there was already a lot of traffic, cars, buses, rickshaws, and pedestrians fell into his eyes one by one.

   "Xiangjiang has changed!"

   Liu Luanxiong returned to his car, started the car, and headed directly towards his factory!

  At this moment in Xiangjiang, countless people are saying the same words as Liu Luanxiong.

   "Xiangjiang has changed!"

  As the core of this incident, the Chinese industry is naturally full of joy at this time.

  Huo Tsar, Mr. He and others had already left after receiving Chu Huan's call early this morning. They congratulated Chu Huan in their own way.

   But for Jiaku, after being happy, it is busy work.

   After all, it is a very cumbersome task for any consortium to successfully take over one of the largest consortiums in Xiangjiang, Jardine, including its subsidiary Landmark.

  So last night, Huo Tsar, Mr. He and others left, but Cao Yunshang and the others worked all night, and now they held a high-level meeting of Jiaku immediately.

  Although it was announced to the outside world that it was Huaren Real Estate that was acquiring Jardine and Landmark, in fact, without the help of Jiaku, there was no way for Huaren Real Estate to digest Jardine and Landmark in a short period of time!

   Originally, Cao Yunshang wanted this meeting to be held after Chu Huan came back, but Chu Huan said that since the acquisition has been completed, the takeover of Jardine and Landmark must be completed before 1979.

   It is now less than a week away from New Year's Day in 1980!

  That's why Chu Huan asked Cao Yunshang to act as his agent to hold this high-level meeting of Jiaku.

  Of course, as the nominal receiver, Wen Mingzhang of China Real Estate and a group of senior executives of China Real Estate also participated in this meeting.

  In the huge conference room, more than 20 people were sitting in meditation, and everyone's eyes were focused on the most central position.

   It was Chu Huan who was sitting here before, but now Chu Huan is still in London and has not come back, so it is Cao Yunshang who is sitting there now.

"Everyone, although you have already learned the result of the matter through the phone before this, I still want to tell you in person that Huaren Land has officially become the largest shareholder of Jardine Land, and the group has also decided to We will officially start taking over the specific affairs of Jardine and Landmark today!"

  Cao Yunshang sat there with a smile on his face, but his eyes were very calm.

   A few hours has given her enough to release her joy.

   Clap clap! !

   There was warm applause in the conference room. Not only did Cao Yunshang need to announce the news to everyone present, but they also needed to hear the result with their own ears on such an occasion.

   "The reason why the meeting was brought forward is that we have to cooperate with President Wen Mingzhang to go to Jardine for a meeting. Today is the first day we take over Jardine. It's not easy for Jardine's board of directors to say that we are crazy!"

  Cao Yunshang made a little joke.

  Laughter echoed in the conference room.

"Everyone, we have already talked to President Chu on the phone in the early hours of this morning, and he will take a chartered flight back to Xiangjiang today, so we still have a meeting to be held tomorrow, but don't worry, tomorrow's meeting will be after your normal work !"

  Cao Yunshang has perfectly controlled the rhythm of the scene.

  Afterwards, Cao Yunshang asked Xu Yi: "Mr. Xu, have you completed the review of the talents that Director Chu asked you to prepare?"

  Before the soldiers and horses moved food and grass, Chu Huan had asked Xu Yi to start screening the management team who would go to Jardine and Landmark from the talent pool of Jiaku a long time ago.

  This screening is not only limited to the talent pool of A library itself, but also includes the management personnel of all subsidiaries of the entire A library system.

   So this is a huge amount of work.

  Xu Yi nodded seriously and said: "The screening has been completed, and now we are waiting for Mr. Wen to officially take over Jardine and Landmark!"

  Cao Yunshang nodded, then looked at Wen Mingzhang and asked, "Mr. Wen, have you contacted Niu Bijian about taking over Jardine and Landmark?"

  Wen Mingzhang's face was rosy at this time, and he couldn't tell that this was a man who hadn't slept all night. In the past, Huaren Real Estate was actually a company with a very weak sense of presence in the Jiaku department.

  After all, at that time, Huaren Property was just a joint-stock management company, and there was no way to compare it with other companies in the Jiaku department.

   But at this moment, it is completely different. Although Jardine and Landmark are still not comparable to other subsidiaries under Jiaku in terms of profit, the significance of Jardine and Landmark is really too important.

  From now on, the Chinese occupation will also be the most prestigious consortium in Xiangjiang!

   "I've already contacted him. Although the other party's mood is not very good, he also expressed that he will cooperate with our work!"

  Cao Yunshang smiled and said: "It's understandable to be in a bad mood, and we don't need to be too harsh!"

  The Chinese side is full of joy and laughter, Jardine, but there is no such atmosphere at Landmark.

  In fact, in the early hours of this morning, when New Bijian received a call from Henry Keswick, the mood of New Bijian and others was even more indescribable.

  I thought it was a winning ticket, but it turned out to be a crushing defeat!

   Such a psychological gap made it impossible for them to accept it at the first time.

   Even asked Henry Keswick many times whether this matter was true.

   But the answer they got was yes, and even after they hung up the phone, when they recalled the conversation with Henry Keswick just now, Henry Keswick's tone was full of loneliness!

  It's no surprise that Henry Keswick's tone is not lonely!

Although externally, Jardines has been established for more than a hundred years, but in fact, the history of Jardines can be traced back to 1782. At that time, Jardines had been operating under the name of Coxlade Firm and Magniac Company. , in 1832, people from these two companies founded Jardine!

  Even at the very beginning, they weren't called Jardines, they were called Jardine Madison & Company.

   In 1906, it was reorganized as Jardine Madison Co., Ltd., and their founder was William Jardine!

  As for the name Yihe, it was the business name they registered with when they were in Yangcheng, which means 'fast harmony'!

  William Jardine can be said to be a notorious person to the Chinese. Before he founded Jardine, he worked in the East India Company!

  In addition, the reason why Jardine Madison Company was named is also because, in addition to William Jardine, the founder of this company also has a James Madison.

  In the early days he was doing the same business as William Jardine.

  Jardine Matheson was first in Yangcheng, then went to Haojiang, and finally moved to Xiangjiang in 1844.

  Since then, Jardine Matheson began to expand its territory in Xiangjiang. It was also at this time that James Madison retired and his nephew Alexander Madison took over Jardine!

  In 1898, Hong Kong Land was founded, and it was the founder of Wharf, Paul Jadar, and James Keswick, who was a non-executive director of Jardine, who founded Hong Kong Land.

   Until 1958, the Keswick family, with the support of many banks in London, acquired all the shares of the Jardine family in Jardine and officially became the largest shareholder of Jardine, and officially took over Jardine.

   Then, under a series of operations by the Keswick family, Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land completed the mutual control of equity.

   It can be said that it has not been many years since the Keswick family officially took over Jardine Matheson, and it will only be 31 years this year, but the planning involved is not enough for outsiders.

  Nowadays, Henry Keswick is so angry that he is about to collapse when he sees the country that his fathers have worked so hard to change hands like this.

  Up to now, he can clearly feel the feeling of trembling with anger when he received a call from George Thomas.

   At that moment he felt like he was about to suffocate!

   But everything is useless, without the support of the British government, he can only choose to accept this result helplessly!

  Xiangjiang, Hong Kong Governor's Mansion!

  MacLehose has the habit of doing morning exercises, but this morning, MacLehose changed his habit. As soon as he got up, he asked the servants in the mansion to find this morning's newspaper.

  Although he had already received a call from Mrs. Thatcher last night and knew what had happened.

   But today he still wants to read the contents of the newspaper.

  Very well, no matter which newspaper there was any report on the protest at the gate of the Governor's Mansion last night.

   "Those people outside the Governor's Mansion have left?"

   MacLehose asked his secretary.

  The secretary nodded and said: "In less than half an hour after you received Yinglun's call this morning, those people left one after another!"

   Speaking of this, MacLehose's secretary paused, as if hesitating to speak.

  MacLehose asked: "Is there anything you want to say?"

  The secretary said: "The time when those people left is really too coincidental. I think they must have organized behavior."

MacLehose chuckled. He already knew this conclusion last night, but at the same time, such efficiency made MacLehose very clear about one thing, that is, what Chu Huan wanted to do. The executive power is really high!

  Those people yesterday must have been fooled by others. It is impossible for all of them to be from Chu Huan, but these people can be persuaded to go away by Chu Huan's people again after the conclusion of the matter has been reached.

   "I guess this is the reason!"

  MacLehose saw the news in the newspaper that Chinese Land announced that it would pay dividends for Jardine and Hongkong shareholders at the end of this year.

   "However, this is also quite good. At least after Chu Huan completed the acquisition of Jardine and Landmark, he did not plan to delist and privatize like other companies before."

  Whether it is Jardine or Hongkong Land, their positions in the Xiangjiang stock market are too important. If calculated according to Chu Huan's purchase price, these two groups are the two companies with the highest listing value in the Xiangjiang stock market.

   surpassed HSBC!

It is true that with the end of Chu Huan's acquisition, the stock prices of these two companies will definitely drop, but with the big tree of Chu Huan behind them, it is conceivable that even if the stock prices of these two groups fall, they will not fall as much as Wharf fell so badly.

  With the completion of Bao's acquisition of Wharf, Wharf's stock price completely began to fall.

At that time, Bao’s purchase price of Wharf’s stock was HK$110 per share. The day after Bao completed the acquisition of Wharf, Wharf’s share price fell to HK$74.5 per share. HK$72 per share.

   It is 35.5 Hong Kong dollars lower than Bao Yugang's purchase price!

Now Hong Kong Land and Jardine House will definitely have such a decline, but this has nothing to do with MacLehose. As long as these two consortiums are still in the stock market of Xiangjiang, then this means that the daily transactions of Xiangjiang stock market The amount is still there.

  Especially these two groups are the only listed groups under the name of Chu Huan, MacLehose believes that the stocks of these two groups must be very sought after by the shareholders of Xiangjiang!

   "Remember, contact Xu Yi of Jiaku this morning and tell him that if Chu Huan returns to Xiangjiang, please notify us as soon as possible. I will make an appointment to meet Chu Huan in person!"

  MacLehose's secretary noticed that his boss used please!

"knew!"

MacLehose nodded. To meet Chu Huan at this time, one is to have a good discussion with Chu Huan about the future development of Xiangjiang. At the same time, he also asks Chu Huan to never, never, never fight while he is the governor of Hong Kong. Delist and privatize Jardine and Landmark!

   "By the way, have you notified the meeting arrangement of the Governor's Mansion this morning?"

  The secretary nodded and said: "It has been notified!"

MacLehose sighed. It was the same as what I thought. Chu Huan won and Xia Dingji resigned. When I received a call from Mrs. Thatcher early this morning, although Mrs. Thatcher did not clearly tell McLehose on the phone Li Hao wants to dismiss Xia Dingji.

  However, he also said that Xia Dingji seemed to have made no achievements during his tenure as the financial secretary of Xiangjiang. Not only did he not make achievements, but he often made some mistakes.

   The words are not clear, but the meaning is clear!

  However, the core issue of MacLehose's convening of the Hong Kong Governor's House meeting this time is actually to discuss the selection of Xia Dingji's successor!

   "Xiangjiang has changed!"

   MacLehose uttered this sentence that has been said by many people today! .

   "Have you contacted Xu Yi yet?"

  President of the Far East Association, Li Fuzhao, was walking back and forth in his office at this time, with a ferocious expression on his face, looking at his secretary eagerly.

  The secretary replied: "Not yet, Xu Yi's secretary said that Xu Yi is currently attending a meeting in Jiaku and has no time to answer the phone!"

  That’s right, as Chu Huan’s secretary Xu Yi, she actually has her own secretary.

   "Then did you tell the other party that after Xu Yi's meeting is over, we will visit her?"

   Li Fuzhao asked loudly.

  The secretary replied tremblingly: "I have already told the other party about this matter, but the other party said that Xu Yi will be very busy today. As for whether they will meet us, they are not sure yet!"

   "Trash!" Li Fuzhao glared at his secretary fiercely. This trash was naturally referring to his secretary. Even at this moment, Li Fuzhao was not angry because Xu Yi didn't have time to see him.

  Because Li Fuzhao understands, Xiangjiang has changed!

"We must contact Xu Yi as soon as possible. We must know how Jiaku arranges the two groups of Jardine and Landmark. Although I think Chu Huan may not delist these two groups for privatization. , but we still have to personally confirm the news from Jiaku's mouth!"

  Actually, neither Jardine nor Landmark is listed in the Far East, but in Heung Kong.

   But now, the voices of the Xiangjiang four associations are getting louder and louder, and Li Fuzhao has already regarded himself as the helm of the four associations in the future.

  So Li Fuzhao definitely does not want Landmark and Jardine to be delisted and privatized. If this is the case, the impact on the Hong Kong stock market will be too great.

   "Then I'll call the other party to ask about it?" the secretary asked cautiously.

  In the entire Far East Association, no one is afraid of Li Fuzhao, and many people even call Li Fuzhao in private as the head of everyone, Principal Li!

   It is because the other party is majestic enough!

  Li Fuzhao glared at his secretary again, "Trash, knowing that the other party is very busy at this time, even if you call again, will the other party be willing to give you a definite answer?"

  The secretary shrank her neck slightly, not daring to speak.

   "Forget it, I'd better go up and wait for my funds in person, and see when Xu Yi has time to see me!"

   After speaking, Li Fuzhao picked up his coat and left his office straight away.

Looking at the back of Li Fuzhao who walked out of the office, his secretary couldn't help sighing that Xiangjiang has really changed. Otherwise, how could their respected and respected Principal Li go to Jiaku to wait for Chu Huan in person? The secretary has time to see him!

.

  Jiaku's meeting is over, everyone is busy with their own affairs, and after Wen Mingzhang asked Cao Yunshang for instructions, he also went to Jardine for a meeting.

   And Xu Yi followed Cao Yunshang to Chu Huan's office.

   "Ma'am, the matter is over now, and you haven't rested all night, why don't you go to the boss's room to rest first, if there is anything, I will come to you again!"

  Xu Yi preached to Cao Yunshang.

  Since Cao Yunshang came to the Chinatown yesterday morning, he hasn't taken a break for even a minute!

Cao Yunshang leaned on the sofa, stretched her neck, and said with a smile: "No need, there must still be a lot of things to deal with here, I hope that when Brother Huan comes back, we have at least completed our work here. Everything that can be done!"

  Xu Yi persuaded: "Then you should at least wash up first!"

  Cao Yunshang stood up on the sofa and said with a smile: "You really should wash up."

  Xu Yi said: "Then I'll get someone to bring the breakfast!"

  Cao Yunshang nodded, "You can eat together too, say that I haven't rested all day and night, don't you do the same!"

  Xu Yi smiled and said, "Thank you Ma'am!"

   Then the two went to the lounge of Chu Huan's office, and the other left the office.

   But half an hour later, the two sat together in this office again, eating breakfast.

"Ma'am, the phone number in the company is almost ringing with people. They are either asking when the boss will come back, or looking for cooperation. Even Li Fuzhao from the Far East Club has been waiting in the reception room for 20 minutes. Do you want to see him?" one side?"

  Xu Yi took a bite of the bun, and then asked Cao Yunshang.

  Cao Yunshang smiled and said, "He actually came to see you, right?"

  Xu Yi smiled awkwardly. Li Fuzhao did come to see him, but now that Cao Yunshang is in the company, he should tell Cao Yunshang about Li Fuzhao's visit.

  Although, Cao Yunshang does not have any position in Jiaku.

  But only from the fact that Chu Huan handed over the responsibility of Jiaku to Cao Yunshang after leaving Xiangjiang, it can be seen that Chu Huan trusted Cao Yunshang.

   "I remember the first time I saw you, Xu Yi, Brother Huan told me that you are a love brain!" Cao Yunshang laughed suddenly.

   This made Xu Yi even more embarrassed, blushing, and said: "Ma'am, the boss is slandering me!"

Cao Yunshang smiled and said: "But now you are a well-known strong woman in the Xiangjiang business circle, no one will talk about this kind of thing anymore, in fact, even Brother Huan told me that if the company does not have you, it must be It's going to be a mess!"

Xu Yi didn't understand what Cao Yunshang meant, but she also secretly rejoiced that the relationship between herself and her boss, Chu Huan, was clean, otherwise, just these words would really make herself wonder how to explain up.

"You don't need to be nervous. I said this because I want to tell you that although I am in charge of this matter, in fact, I don't have any positions or shares in Aku, and I probably won't have any in the future. So you are still helping Brother Huan with the matter of Jiaku, just like Li Fuzhao's matter now, you should be responsible for it, don't worry about my relationship here!"

  Cao Yunshang smiled and preached to Xu Yi.

  After listening to Cao Yunshang's words, Xu Yi sighed: "The boss is so lucky, I found my wife and you will be my wife!"

   Cao Yunshang also laughed after hearing this.

  Xu Yi said curiously: "I don't know how the boss is celebrating this event!"

   Correct the typo first and then correct it, thank you everyone~
