Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 387 Alliance Results

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, it's so late tonight, let's talk about business first!"

Old John shook his head slightly and said in a good mood.

"Tell me, what's the matter with us tonight?"

Despite his suspicions, Norman Shi Yahuai asked.

Old John did not answer his question, but stated to himself: "Everyone should know that with the economic development of these years, Chinese capital has grown rapidly and can compete with us. They are no longer satisfied with the current market allocation. But the cake is so big! This time, although they are targeting me, but they are actually targeting the entire British capital!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Norman Shi Yahuai and others changed slightly, and it was obvious that the words had come to their hearts.

Indeed it is!

Originally, in addition to those popular industries with low thresholds, industries with high thresholds such as aviation, hydropower, etc. were controlled by British capital, which was determined by the franchise license granted by the Hong Kong government.

However, because of the changes in the world in recent decades, and the fact that Hong Kong is the mainland's window to the outside world, many Chinese capitals have taken advantage of the situation to rise, among which shipping is a typical representative, and British capital cannot be suppressed at all.

There are also the garment manufacturing industry, the financial industry, etc., which have made huge contributions to the original accumulation of Chinese capital.

After the rise of the real estate industry, the opportunity was seized by the Chinese capital. The real estate industry originally monopolized by the British capital was continuously eroded by the Chinese capital. Many real estate giants appeared, even the British-owned Landmark, Swire Properties, Wharf, etc. Still occupying the first few positions, they are also sitting on pins and needles.

Because the speed and momentum of the rise of Chinese capital is amazing!

A long time ago, they felt the restlessness of Hua Zi, but they also knew that because of the strength gap, Hua Zi did not dare to act rashly.

But now this time, the Chinese capital is targeting the Jardine Consortium, and it can be said that the momentum is huge, and they can't help but be vigilant.

It's just that they didn't directly threaten themselves after all, so Norman Shi Yahuai and John Madden didn't want to get involved and amplify the battle.

Because they understand that if you use your whole body, you will end up easily, but if you want your whole body to retreat!

They haven't suffered any losses yet, so why should they jump in and stand out for Jardine!

Because of this mentality,

Several people were silent, although they were vigilant in their hearts, they did not answer Old John's words.

The reaction of Norman Shi Yahuai and others made Old John a little anxious, and he couldn't help but increase his voice and said again: "You should understand that if I fail, the Chinese capital will definitely gain an inch, and if they form a general trend, you will too. Be their target!"

"We are vested interests, they are newly emerging capitalists, they are naturally opposite, and none of us can stay out of it!"

Norman Shi Yahuai frowned slightly and said, "Keswick, competition will always exist, just like there is competition between us, it is essentially based on our own strength, you are now being targeted because you are Yihe. I am not like you in Taigu Yangxing, the evil consequences of the previous annexation and expansion."

"They want to use the same method to deal with my Swire Pacific, and it won't work at all!"

Norman Shi Yahuai said confidently.

The positioning of Swire Pacific is more precise than that of the Jardine Consortium. Although it has also expanded, it has not expanded as rapidly as the Jardine Consortium. Therefore, it has very strong control over its subsidiaries. Xia Yu and others want to attack Swire Pacific from the financial market. , it is very difficult, so he is not worried at all.

And on the other hand, the Jardine Consortium and Swire Pacific are similar in strength. They are the first British-owned consortium and the second consortium. They compete in many aspects, such as shipping, shipping, beverages, real estate, trade and aviation, etc. Therefore, Their relationship is not so good either.

"Keswick, just say it directly, what is your purpose!"

Norman Schwarzwald put it succinctly.

Seeing that Norman Shi Yahuai was a little bit oily and salty, old John's heart sank, and he looked at John Madden and Qi Dezun subconsciously.

It's just that the two of them were expressionless, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Okay, I'll just say it straight, I hope everyone can help me, help me keep these companies as much as possible, and repel the attack of the Chinese capital.

If one day you are also faced with this situation, I will definitely help as soon as possible! "

Old John asked solemnly, and made a promise.

The three of them fell into contemplation, and the atmosphere froze for a while. For a long time, Qi Dezun was the first to speak out: "Kesek, it's not that I don't want to help, but we are all too busy to take care of ourselves."

After speaking, Qi Dezun spread his hands helplessly.

This is what Qi Dezun said in his heart. In fact, seeing the dilemma that Yihe is facing now, Qi Dezun is happy more than once.

Because Hutchison Whampoa is really in a quagmire!

Around 1965, Hutchison owned about 50 affiliated and related companies.

But in 1975, only a decade or so later, Hutchison International owned more than 360 affiliated and related companies, and the ferocity of the expansion was evident.

However, the bad consequences of expansion appeared, coupled with the impact of the environment, and Hutchison International suffered serious losses. Afterwards, under the drastic reform of the "genius doctor" professional manager Wery, Hutchison International spun off non-performing assets. By 1976, it was less than one year. In the past year, 107 companies have been dissolved or sold, and they have been continuously rectified and divested since then.

Then in early January of this year, Hutchison International and Whampoa Shipping merged to become the current Hutchison Whampoa, which was a breath of relief.

However, the situation is still not optimistic, and the sluggish share price of Hutchison Whampoa is a favorable evidence.

So let Qi Dezun take the initiative to jump out to attract firepower to Yihe, how could he be willing to do it!

Isn't this asking for trouble!

He is full of loopholes, and it is not bad that he is not targeted, how could he jump out, he can't wait for Xia Yu and others to ignore Hutchison Whampoa!

It's a pity that Qi Dezun is going to be disappointed. What he didn't know is that Hutchison Whampoa has been targeted for a long time. After the unlucky Jardine Consortium, he will be the next unlucky one!

I don't know if he will faint from anger at that time!

"That's right, Keswick, it would be nice if they didn't trouble us. You know what's going on with Defeng, I really can't help!"

John Madden said apologetically.

Among the four major British-owned consortiums, Wheelock was the shortest established and the smallest in strength. He did not want to take the initiative to cause trouble and share the worries for Jardine.

Compared with the history of the Jardine Consortium and Taikoo Ocean, which have been inactive for one or two hundred years, Wheelock is very young. It was only established in 1925. John Madden wanted to sell the company several times, and the most recent one was related to the Jardine Consortium.

That is, in October 1976, Wheelock sought to sell, and the Jardine Consortium intervened to prepare to acquire Wheelock. In December, Wheelock, Jardine and Landmark decided that if they failed to reach a transaction agreement within 10 days, the acquisition plan It will be canceled, but unfortunately this acquisition war is finally difficult to produce due to the competition of many companies.

Then the economy recovered again in the past two years, the real estate industry rose again, Wheelock recovered again, and John Madden's ambitions recovered again, and he no longer wanted to sell the company.

Some time ago, the ship king Bao Yugang abandoned the ship and went ashore. Wheelock also intends to purchase a large number of Bao Yugang's ships. Now they are in intensive negotiations. Now let John Madden go against Bao Yugang and others. Isn't it hard to get along with yourself!

What if it affects Wheelock Shipping's market expansion strategy?

Why should he harm himself and others?

In addition, Wheelock's main assets are in shipping, warehousing and real estate, and there are fewer listed companies, so there is no fear of being sniped.

Therefore, among the three people, he is the least willing to get involved. No matter how old John fools around, his mind is always clear!

If you want him to help, let alone the door, not even the window!

The four people have different thoughts, and they do not have the conditions for cooperation at all!

Therefore, the negotiation that Old John had placed high hopes on ended in vain. The only thing that made Old John feel better was that Norman Shi Yahuai of Swire Pacific had a lot of thoughts. Obviously, his words tonight took root in his heart.

As long as an opportunity arises, there is still a chance to pull him over to help.

Old John's main target is Swire Pacific, after all, he is also aware of the situation of Hutchison Whampoa and Wheelock, and he is really overwhelmed.

Ask them to come together tonight, that is, to see if there is a chance, to be the best, and not to be disappointed.

Watching the three leave, Old John stood at the door for a long time without speaking, and finally let out a long sigh.
