Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Jardine stocks fell across the board, and those who knew it knew why, but the bottom stockholders who didn't know, naturally panicked under the crowd.

In particular, ATV's reports have caused Jardine's stockholders to fall into a state of anxiety.

Taking over the property left by Li's voice, Asia Satellite TV has become the largest media company in Asia in one fell swoop. Under the deliberate reports of the media, the Jardine Group's black background frequently appeared.

In the earliest days, many people knew what Jardine got its fortune from, but because of Jardine's huge influence, people usually dare not hold on to this issue.

Jardine Group, which has many dark historical backgrounds, can't get rid of the influence of the past even though it has changed its face now.

On weekdays, if everyone doesn't talk about it, it will naturally have no effect, but once someone uncovers it, it's like yellow mud falling off the crotch.

Compared with Mrs. Thatcher's wrestling incident, Jardine's management has prepared for the worst, but being exposed is something that Jardine's management never thought of.

Therefore, this made Jardine's management very angry. More specifically, it should be Jardine's big class king, Niu Bijian was very angry.

In the past, with its strong capital, no one, no company, no consortium dared to provoke it.

Now that this incident happened to Yihe, even if the people around did not dare to beat the dog in the water, they would happily watch a good show.

In the course of Jardine's more than 100 years of development, there are far more competitors than partners. In recent decades, due to the heavy losses in the inland area, Jardine has formulated a series of measures to restore its vitality. domineering expansion strategy.

In almost every industry that can make money, Jardine will more or less get involved, and for those industries that are particularly profitable, Jardine is also quite ugly.

Especially in recent years, when the oil crisis broke out, Jardine House not only did not shrink its industry, but expanded further, frantically merging many high-quality companies.

These high-quality companies have given Jardine a more long-term development space. Of course, there are pros and cons in everything, and Jardine is also burdened with huge debt pressure for this.

Under the pressure of huge debts, facing such a sudden blow, Niu Bijian, who was sitting on the chair in the conference room of the Jardine Building, felt a headache when he looked at the noisy management below.

As an excellent professional manager, Newbikin's ability is unquestionable, and Jardine's previous strategy of raising debt to expand is actually very correct.

After all, the outbreak of the oil crisis has put most consortiums under enormous financial pressure.

Jardine took advantage of the opportunity to acquire some high-quality companies, which is very beneficial to the company's future development.

It's just that, even if Newbijian calculates the toughness of the inland side, the defeat of the British side, a series of impacts, possible and impossible things, he is fully prepared.

But alone, what Niu Bijian didn't expect was that in such a big environment, there are still people who have the spare time to attack Yihe.

Moreover, this time, it is not only aimed at one or two companies under Jardine Matheson Group. Judging from its actions, it is obviously aimed at the entire Jardine Matheson Group.

All listed and non-listed companies in the Jardine Group were hit immediately, which was the first time in history, which made Niu Bijian a little confused.

Of course, these only surprised him and could not control his emotions. In Niu Bijian's view, with the size of Jardine, even a consortium of the same level as Jardine would not be able to pry this big ship .

Now, the only thing that makes him feel unbelievable is the enemy who attacked Yihe this time.

To be honest, Niu Bijian never thought that the young man who had just invested a huge amount of money in the UK could hide it so deeply.

Although Jardine had some conflicts with the other party earlier, there was no such thing as incompatibility. In the two consecutive fights, Jardine didn't take much advantage.

Although Niu Bijian once wanted to suppress the opponent, but because Yang Chen's rise was too fast, this kind of thinking also dissipated.

Especially after the issue of Xiangjiang was put on the table, Jardine already had plans to shift its focus out of Xiangjiang. Wang naturally didn't want to add a big enemy to Yiping.

Even, under the cooperation of Yang Chen, HSBC and Standard Chartered, Niu Bijian still wanted to eliminate the misunderstanding between them.

According to Niu Bijian's thinking, at the beginning, Jardine didn't continue to trouble each other, and Yang Chen didn't respond at all. The little friction between each other should be regarded as a misunderstanding and let go.

After all, business pays attention to harmony and wealth, and the two companies are not small companies, so there is no need to keep them in mind.

He once thought that he let go, but Yang Chen didn't let go, and even deliberately arranged such a big situation, taking advantage of the failure of Mrs. Thatcher's visit to China to deal the most fatal blow to Jardine .

Now, what Niu Bijian is most worried about is not that Yang Chen takes advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune from Jardine. He is afraid that the other party will not be reconciled after making a fortune. Give birth to thoughts that shouldn't be there.

Chapter 775 Jardine Trouble

dong dong——

Seeing the commotion below, Niu Bijian was upset for a while, tapped his fingers on the table, and said impatiently: "Okay, what time is it now, please be quiet."

What he needs now is for someone to figure out a way to solve the problem he is facing, not one or two who are arguing here and can't figure out the situation.

As soon as the boss got angry, all the senior executives of Jardine immediately shut their mouths and obediently straightened their bodies, apparently not daring to touch their boss at this time.

As the King of Jardine and the chairman of the board of directors, Niu Bijian still has a lot of power. It doesn't take much effort to fire a person, but it's just a matter of one sentence.

If Jardine really collapsed, everyone would naturally ignore it, but now Jardine has not yet collapsed, and everyone still has the basic quality to be a monk hitting the clock one day.

Moreover, for most people, everything about them is connected with Jardine. If everything is prosperous and everything is damaged, if Jardine really collapses, they may not feel better.

Niu Bijian stood up from the chair, put his hands on the table, looked down at the Jardine executives, and said in a deep voice: "Now the situation is clear to everyone. Hang Seng Bank has made a big blow to our company through the return of Xiangjiang to negotiate. Scale shorting.

As for who is the person behind Hang Seng, I don't need to say much, you all know that young man, we had a little misunderstanding with him before, and now the other party is using the previous misunderstanding to declare war on us Jardine. "

"That's right, it's a declaration of war. This time, not only Xiangjiang, Singapore and London, but all our Jardine companies have been attacked to some extent.

So, what we need to do now is not to quarrel, but to find a way to solve the problem as soon as possible. The young man announced a tens of billions of dollars investment plan in China not long ago..."

"That is to say, it is not feasible for us to use our political advantages to put pressure on it. Now we can only adopt formal business channels to withstand this pressure..."

When all the senior officials of Jardine Hearing heard this, they all frowned involuntarily.

In the early development of Jardine, what I like most is to take advantage of the situation.

This trend mainly comes from the support of the government.

Of course, it's not just the Jardines. In fact, most of the British consortiums like to use the power of the government to suppress the enemy in order to achieve their own goals.

As an early colonial country, the market of the British consortium basically developed with the support of the government.

It is fundamentally different from overseas Chinese, who mostly rely on starting from scratch and accumulating little by little.

Because of this difference, when a region is about to face turmoil, the choices of the Chinese and the British are also very different.

Generally, the British will immediately think of running away, leaving behind all the things they think are cumbersome, and leave quickly and lightly, never letting themselves suffer any safety hazards.

As for the Chinese, in the face of turmoil, basically as long as they are not attacked by swords and axes, even if they grit their teeth, they will resist it.

Therefore, whenever they lose their policy advantages, it is difficult for British businessmen and enterprises to compete with Chinese businessmen and Chinese enterprises.

Now the situation in Xiangjiang is complicated, without the support of the government, and the opponent is aggressive again. For a while, everyone is a little helpless in the face of this situation.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Parker, the general manager of Jardine Matheson Co., Ltd., who was sitting in the position of Niu Bijian, couldn't help but said: "Because of the previous acquisition of companies such as Xiangjiang Electric Lighting and Telephone, we have already borrowed huge debts. These debts are very important to the company. That said, there has been tremendous pressure.

The failure of Mrs. Thatcher's negotiations with the mainland caused the overall stock price of Xiangjiang stock market to fall. The impact of the general environment is obviously irresistible to us alone. "

"As for that Mr. Yang Chen, I have carefully studied it. Although he is not very old, he speaks and does things in a very orderly manner. Moreover, as far as I know, that Mr. Yang Chen never does anything he is not sure about.
