Although unwilling to admit it, Li Bancheng was very depressed when he left the Xiangjiang club. When he went to Jardine's headquarters building a few days ago, he was so elated and depressed.
It's not that Li Bancheng has never seen the world, but that he really has no bottom when he faces this blackmail from the British stronghold.
To put it bluntly, Li Bancheng in this period did not have the "poor Heng" who was not afraid of wearing shoes without bare feet, nor the "arrogance" of taking all the business and political circles. He was brilliantly stuck in a delicate position.
Li Bancheng is certainly not willing to stop and give up the acquisition of Jardine's harmony. How can it be simple for him to pull the other three consortia to form an alliance, advance and retreat together and act together this time; Besides, it's disheartening. There's no face in the circle. I don't know how long to wait before I raise my head.
In the midst of the tangle, Li Bancheng received an invitation from the governor's office. Governor Youde hosted a banquet to entertain celebrities from Xiangjiang's political and economic circles. In fact, according to practice, he entertained the three British Privy Council advisers with high standards.
On such an important occasion, Li Bancheng had a heart attack and had to attend. He was beaten by the "three mews" invited by Simon kaiserk. He was not sure because he didn't have enough resources for governance.
When Li Bancheng rushed to the banquet hall and met Zheng Yutong, Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji, he was in a complicated mood, but he had to act as if nothing had happened, so as not to shake the morale of the army. Let's not mention it for the time being. The perspective turned to the main character of the banquet, "three meows".
After arriving in Xiangjiang, Sanmiao was not idle. Because of his status as an opposition, he had no overall view and spoke recklessly. Compared with his influence on the business community, his influence on the governance was quite sensitive, so Hong Kong Governor Youde had to clarify. Sanmiao's view only represented them, not the opinion of the Hong Kong government, and he didn't know how Hong Kong Governor Youde felt about this trouble.
In his speech at the banquet, Sanmiao continued this style, skipping the content of Zhengzhi. In terms of business, what he said was to protect the interests of British capital, and not surprisingly pointed to the current acquisition of Jardine, and Chinese capital should understand its position.
Many of the guests have turned their attention to Li Bancheng, who led four consortia to make acquisition proposals to Jardine's harmony these days. Do people want to respond to you?
At this time, Li Bancheng's face was gloomy, but he had too many scruples. For a moment, he had no confidence to compete, which made the atmosphere slightly delicate.
Seeing this, Simon kaiserk's face showed arrogance and satisfaction, while many Chinese celebrities flashed discontent in their eyes and subconsciously looked around, hoping to find a leader who could speak on behalf of Chinese capital on this occasion.
Gao Xian certainly won't live up to this expectation. He got up and said, "Xiangjiang has long been a small fishing village and has developed into a recognized international financial center. Its business ecology and rules are becoming more and more perfect and widely praised. Those unprofessional laymen's suggestions, especially before serious local research, should not be put forward and become an international joke."
"In the free market of Xiangjiang, commercial problems should be solved by commercial methods in accordance with contemporary commercial civilization and rules, rather than playing a trick of privilege."
"Jardine Matheson may be just because it enjoys too many special treatments. It has become a habit and doesn't want to make progress, so that it can't adapt to the new business environment with increasing internationalization and increasingly fierce competition. Who doesn't admire Taigu, land purchase, careful operation and excellent performance?"
John Shih, chairman of the board of directors of Taigu group, listened to Sir Gao's public mention of Taigu, and did not hesitate to praise it. His expression moved slightly. It seemed that Sir Gao's bad feeling for Taigu was not so strong.
Wei Peter, chairman of the board of directors of land, said: "it's not surprising that Jardine's business crisis has occurred. Just look at how it doesn't speak of business reputation and forces land to use the law to safeguard the interests of the contract."
Seeing that Sir Gao stood up, Li Bancheng was secretly relieved that he didn't have to be embarrassed anymore.
Simon kaiserk's nose was crooked, and the high string was silent. He almost forgot this cruel character. He really chose the time to appear.
Due to Gao Xian's direct speech in London accent english, "three meows" can naturally taste the meaning of the speech immediately. You don't feel good enough to come to Xiangjiang to pack large cloves of garlic!
Hardy, one of the "three mews", raised his chin and was about to fight back, but was stopped by Hong Kong Governor Youde motioning to the ghost guys of the Hong Kong government.
You three are the protagonists of such a big party. If you come in and tear it apart, how can you eat and drink? Anyway, you are acting for the kaiserk family. Let Simon kaiserk deal with it.
Besides, when you came to Xiangjiang from London, you really thought you were condescending to the countryside? Talented men still remained in concealment, but old fellow friendship between generations of high jazz, Prince Charles, old lady Louis Mountbatten, and Mrs. Thatcher's wife. Yes, Mrs. lame is also a member of the house of Lords of Canada. Limited outlook on resources is better than you are in the British Isles. Everyone's face is not good-looking! Be careful that you will be taken seriously for the sake of harmonizing the public and benefiting private interests. There will be no good fruit to eat when you go back!
Simon kaiserk really had to speak. Sir Gao's big hat that Jardine can only rely on privileges and do not want to make progress is not easy to wear. It must be clarified on the spot immediately. Therefore, he solemnly explained that Jardine's current business crisis was completely caused by his predecessor, new Bijian.
Now newbie was very angry. Coincidentally, he was also at the scene, just because he didn't take a prominent seat after losing the aura of Jardine's class.
What newbijian thought in his mind was that although I was expelled from office early, it was very unpleasant, but in the face of generous compensation, I talked about professional ethics and didn't gossip about the former owner Yihe, but Simon kesek can't buckle all the shit pots on me and ruin my career future. I'm still waiting for the good job promised to me by Sir Gao.
So newbijian got up angrily and began to clarify.
I admit that the loss of Jardine's two extremely important companies, jiulongcang and land, and the subsequent excessive expansion have a lot to do with Jardine's situation today, but you can't pretend to be confused about the real root.
In the early 1970's, after Henry kaiserk robbed Jardine's large class that should belong to me, he decided to transfer most of Jardine's income to overseas expansion business; After I took over as Yihe Taipan, this practice has not changed, resulting in the capital flow of Yihe is not so abundant.
With so much money, the kaiserk family has carried out business in the United States, South Africa, the Middle East, Britain and other parts of the world. They have never given anything back to Xiangjiang headquarters. They don't know whether they really have poor international business ability, or whether the money has turned a few corners and fallen into their own pockets. Everyone knows
This scene is really lively. The two large classes before and after Yihe are openly torn!
