The reason why Gao Xian's decision to acquire the milk company startled everyone around him was that the milk company was not an ordinary company. It was established only three years ago. Strictly speaking, Gaoyi series I, which did not even have a complete three years, was a bit like children and adults compared with the milk company series.

The prosperity of milk companies is closely related to two common things at present, namely milk and ice.

It seems that milk and ice have nothing to do with each other.

But in fact, in Xiangjiang in the last century and even before this century, milk and ice are not only in short supply, but also a very high-grade beverage after they are mixed together.

The "noumenon" of the milk company was founded by British doctor Winson in 1886.

Except for nomads, it is not common for Chinese people to drink milk to supplement nutrition; Western people like Brits can't live without milk.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that for the foreigners who robbed the Xiangjiang River and engaged in colonial development here, the supply of milk is seriously insufficient. Many people take containers and stay next to the cows shipped from Britain.

In addition, foreigners who go to Xiangjiang to engage in colonial development in tropical areas have to face a natural enemy, which is commonly known as malaria in Chinese. The mortality of patients is quite high.

Dr. Winson happens to study tropical diseases such as malaria, and his popularity among the people can be imagined.

The strong market demand, coupled with Dr. WENSON's personal reputation, made the milk company grow rapidly into a well-known company in Xiangjiang, and gained a high social status because of the cheap supply of fresh milk to patients in public hospitals.

However, Dr. Winson himself was quite accomplished in his academic achievements, put forward the hypothesis that mosquitoes may be the host of malaria, and cooperated with Ronald Ross, a British military medical officer serving in India at that time. He proved that mosquitoes are indeed the host of malaria, and malaria is transmitted through mosquito bites, and Ronald Ross is more because of this achievement, He won the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1902.

Therefore, Dr Wen's mind was not entirely in business, and when he earned almost the same money, he resigned from the large class position of the dairy company and returned home with his wealth and academic achievements accumulated in the East. He returned to his native place and founded the London Tropical Medicine School in the UK and died there.

Xiangjiang's milk company continued to grow. For example, in 1904, it bought the meat cold storage of Swire foreign firm. Since then, it has entered the ice making industry.

However, the real expansion of milk companies in the field of ice making is through the acquisition of Xiangjiang ice making company under Jardine Matheson.

Ice, as a commodity, was able to become a scarce material in the early Xiangjiang, which was also closely related to the differences in living habits between Westerners and Chinese.

Take the Englishmen for example. It's not difficult to turn over the map casually. The latitude of the British native area where they live is much higher than that of the tropical area where Xiangjiang River is located.

To put it bluntly, the Westerners represented by the British are "cold resistant animals" and have the habit of eating ice.

When these guys robbed the Xiangjiang River, they soon found that the Chinese people can drink hot tea comfortably in the scorching summer, while they are very hot and miserable.

The origin of the name "Hong Kong foot" can be regarded as evidence.

Because of this, as long as the colonial robbers made enough money, they didn't miss Xiangjiang and returned to London, England for fun.

As early as the 1840s, when the British robbed the Xiangjiang River, an American named DIDU came to the Xiangjiang River and found a huge business opportunity for ice.

In terms of ice storage, the Dudu family has a mature way to maintain low temperature soil. Furthermore, Dudu has successfully done the business of transporting and selling ice.

I don't know if it's true. DIDU claimed that the ice he shipped was natural ice from America. It was clean, hygienic and pollution-free. It sold for five cents per pound. As a result, it was robbed by customers.

Because Westerners like ice too much, Dudu's "sending ice in the heat" has won praise from westerners on Hong Kong Island. Even the Hong Kong government regards the ice business of DIDU as a charity. Then a piece of land for a built-up ice factory in DIDU was granted free of charge for a period of 75 years, with the proviso that ice for public hospitals was supplied cheaply.

Dudu thus monopolized the industry in Xiangjiang for 20 years, making a lot of money. From being penniless to paying off all debts, he built an ancient castle style manor house in the mid mountain area.

Such a bloody business has certainly attracted countless people's eyes.

Later, an English businessman named Kyle bought a patent for artificial ice making with crystalline ammonium nitrate as coolant, transported the ice maker to Xiangjiang, began to grab business with DIDU, and set off a price war for more than ten years.

On the surface, it's a competition between artificial ice and natural ice, but in essence, it's the American consortium behind Dudu, led by Qi Changyang, and the British consortium behind Kyle, led by yiheyang.

Unfortunately, at that time, the United States was just a little brother in the capitalist world, not mitti. The US funded consortium finally lost and no longer provided financial support for DIDU.

DIDU, who owed a lot of debt, collapsed at that time, so he was going to die. He went to Kyle to tell the other party that I'm gone. You should do it yourself.

In fact, Kyle was in a similar situation at this time. Jardine Matheson asked him impatiently when he could make a profit and couldn't afford the money. He weighed the consequences himself.

The meeting between Dudu and Kyle was not as tense as before, but cried with pity.

The last time they sum up, why are we so stupid? Since we can't tell the outcome of the price war, we should partner to monopolize the ice industry in Xiangjiang.

So Dudu and Kyle cleaned up the mess and licked the wound. On the last day of 1880, Xiangjiang ice making company was officially established, with Kyle, who has the most properties under his name, as the chairman and Dudu as the general manager.

The merged Xiangjiang ice making company dominated the ice Market in Xiangjiang. When the situation in Xiangjiang was turbulent after its establishment, Brits like Jardine's certainly did not look down on the declining milk company.

But now it's different. American President Nixon visited China, which greatly eased the relationship between the western world and China, and Britain will certainly restore Ambassador level diplomatic relations with China.

As a result, Xiang River has the exact external environment of prosperity and stability, and the land that can not be moved during the turbulent times shows its value at once.

Just think about it. In the early years, ice and milk took up a lot of space.

The original Xiangjiang ice making company built ice making plants in Xuechang street, Chunyuan street and Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island.

The original old milk company opened up cattle farms and farms in Causeway Bay and Pok Fu Lam on Hong Kong Island.

It is no exaggeration to say that the milk company has unconsciously become the "land king" of Xiangjiang.

In Xiangjiang, there are many so-called "land kings", but in terms of gold content, the milk company, the "land king", is definitely among the best.

After more than 100 years of development, the property construction in Central Hong Kong Island is close to saturation, and the second business district on Hong Kong Island is moving towards Causeway Bay.

To put it bluntly, the other "land kings", the 10 plots in Kowloon and the new territories, may not have a plot of land in Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island, which is valuable!

Everyone is innocent and bears his guilt. It describes the current delicate situation of the milk company.

Of course, not everyone can know such key information. Only people like Jardine Daban and Gao Xian, as well as "readers" with God's perspective, can understand it.

This is the value of the milk company being targeted by Gao Xian. Gao Xian doesn't have to ask "is it worth fighting" for the second time. Everyone at the meeting recognized that the power is too strong.

Yi Huiqiang narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the high string sitting in the middle. He couldn't help thinking: when I first met him in the wooden house area more than two years ago, why didn't I see that this boy wanted to be the "earth king" and have the ambition to sit on the same level with the earth Lord like my Yi family in Causeway Bay?

It's estimated that Dad will be surprised when he knows about it.

It's not clear whether Xiaomei knew Gao Xian's plan long ago.

Now I know the news. Is the little girl outgoing and tight lipped? Or is it that Gaoxian city hall is very deep and leads without sending it?

Fortunately, Gao Xian will become the son-in-law of the Yi family. Sooner or later, he will be a family. I don't have to worry like Zhou Xinian.

During the discussion, Ma Xincong said: "the milk company controlled by Zhou Xinian has hundreds of millions of assets and thousands of employees. In addition, he invited Qi dezun of Hutchison Daban and Ma Deng of huidefeng Daban as directors. Even if we launch a raid and show the capital of the largest shareholder, I'm afraid it will take a long time to get control."

Gao Xian said brightly, "so I call this stage bullfighting."

Hearing such a vivid metaphor, everyone couldn't help laughing.
