Chapter 182 Mr. Yang is robbing British capital in a barbarian way!
Henry Keswick and Niu Bijian sitting in a luxurious Rolls-Royce.
Henry Keswick and Niubijian were smoking cigars in silence.
In the past, the two were mortal enemies.
In order to grab the position of Jardine Land's chief executive, the two fought openly and secretly for a long time.
In the end, Niu Bijian defeated Henry Keswick.
At this moment, Niu Bijian knew very well that if the Imperial Group really swallowed up Jardine Land, it would definitely drive away his boss, so what else would he have by then?
Fame, wealth, status, high salary, everything is gone.
On the contrary, the Keswick family has shares in Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land. As long as they do not sell their shares, they will still be the second largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson Land.
If they sell their shares and purchase more shares at ten times the current market value of the Imperial Group, then the Yosek family can also gain huge wealth.
However, neither Henry Keswick nor the Joseph Keswick family wanted to lose Jardine Land.
The two of them smoked cigars in silence.
The dedicated driver drove to the Governor's Palace in the Central District.
after an hour.
Henry Keswick's Rolls-Royce stopped not far from the gate of the Government House.
Two white guards, Sir and Asan, have already arrived.
When a white gentleman recognized the people in the car, it was none other than Mr. Henry Keswick and Mr. Newbie Kin, the chief executive of Jardine Land.
The car is parked there.
Henry Keswick and Niubijian got out of the car.
"We need to see the Governor, Mr. Malihose, immediately." Henry Keswick said.
"Sir Josek, Mr. Governor has rested."
At this time, it was already very late.
Tonight's press conference, Yang Ming deliberately held it very late in the evening, so as not to give the Yosek family and Niu Bijian any chance and time to counterattack.
Even if Governor Maliho rests, they will see Maliho immediately.
When Sir Joseph took out a wad of cash and asked the white man to call someone, the white man immediately went inside after receiving so much money.
First, find your supervisor, the police officer.
The police officer then went to the steward of the Governor's Palace.
The butler of the Governor's Palace finally went to the Secretary of the Governor's Palace.
The secretary of the Governor's Office finally went to see Governor MacLehose.
The MacLehose couple had already rested.
Suddenly there was a rapid ringing of the doorbell and a knock on the door.
Mailihao was soon woken up.
When he turned on the desk lamp, woke up, and got dressed, he thought something had happened.
He opened the door and saw his secretary.
"Maiwen, what's going on?"
"Governor, it is Sir Joseph and Mr. Newbigan who are here to see you."
Henry Keswick?
Niu Bijian?
Why did these two people come to see me so late?
Maillehose was an accomplished and diligent governor. When he came out, he saw Henry Keswick and Niu Bijian who were anxiously wandering around the drawing room.
"Sir Joseph, Mr. Newbigan, Mr. Governor are up."
"Mr. Governor."
When he saw Mailihao, Henry Keswick immediately said hello.
"You two?"
"Governor, something big happened."
Henry Keswick said.
"What's the big deal?"
Mailihao neither heard about a huge fire nor a big explosion in Xiangjiang. How could anything major happen?
"Just an hour and a half ago. Empire Group held a press conference at the Federal Building and announced that it has become the largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson and Heung Kong Land. In addition, at 8:00 tomorrow morning, its share price will increase tenfold. Purchased 49%. Governor, the ambition of Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group is to swallow up our largest British-owned foreign bank."
Is Mr. Yang of Imperial Group going to swallow up Jardine Matheson?
It took Governor Mailiho a while to react.
He seemed to be unresponsive again.
He remembered that some time ago, the Imperial Group had just swallowed up Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa. It stands to reason that no matter how powerful the Imperial Group was, it might not have digested those two foreign banks. How could the Imperial Group have so much money to acquire Yiyi? What about Heyang Bank?
Last night, he and his wife were invited by Mr. Yang to attend a private concert at the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay. He and his wife were very satisfied.
Except that this was the second time he met Mr. Yang, he felt that Mr. Yang was polite and a very gentlemanly businessman.
He never expected that just one day later, he would actually hear that the Imperial Group was going to swallow up Jardine Matheson?
Seeing that the Governor, Mr. Maliho, seemed to be disbelieving.
"Mr. Governor, you immediately call and ask other people. Now many people in Hong Kong and even the world know about it."
Mai Lihao called his secretary Mai Wen.
"Mai Wen, please call and ask."
"Yes, Governor."
Mai Wen called.
After a while, he came back and said: "Mr. Governor, there is indeed news that the Imperial Group is going to swallow up Jardine Matheson. Tomorrow at 8:00 am, we will hold meetings at the Central Branch of Hutchison Securities Company and the Wanzi Branch of Hutchison Securities Company. Hold registration of shares.”
At this moment, Mailihao knew that Henry Keswick was not joking.
Imperial Group wants to acquire Jardine Matheson.
This is market capital behavior.
Since he took office, he has always supported the development of free capital in Hong Kong and the West.
All walks of life in Hong Kong have developed very rapidly in recent years.
Logically speaking, as the governor of Xiangjiang, as long as the Imperial Group acquires Jardine Matheson legally, then I should not interfere in this matter.
"Sir Joseph, Imperial Group is legally acquiring Jardine Matheson, and it is a normal acquisition by market capital."
"Mr. Governor, I am from Country Y, and Mr. Yang is from Xiangjiang. I represent British capital, and Mr. Yang represents Chinese capital. How can there be no difference? This is clearly Chinese capital barbarically robbing us of British capital!"
Henry Keswick said anxiously.
Mailihao smiled in his heart.
Didn't your Joseph family snatch Jardine and Matheson from the Jardine family back then?
Could it be that Jardine Matheson belongs to the Joseph family from the beginning?
Of course not!
"Then how do you want me to help?"
"Mr. Governor, you must immediately declare that the acquisition and additional purchases by the Imperial Group are illegal and illegal. You must ask the Imperial Group to immediately stop the acquisition. You and the Governor's Office must protect the legal assets of our British capital in Hong Kong."
Declared illegal?
How is that possible?
This is obviously very legal.
The Imperial Group spent huge amounts of real money on the acquisition, wasn't it just a direct robbery?
They obviously paid a high price.
It is even more impossible for him to declare that Imperial Group's acquisition of Jardine Matheson is illegal.
If that is really done, it means that Country Y may no longer be able to continue to rule in Xiangjiang, and it is obviously trying to overthrow itself.
Chinese capital is so powerful now.
As far as the Imperial Group is concerned, from MacLehose's point of view, they cannot offend him. Instead, they must appease the Imperial Group and Mr. Yang.
At least appear impartial.
"Sir Josek, this is simply impossible. Neither the queen nor the cabinet can do what you said."
"Mr. Governor, what should we do?"
How to do?
How does Mailihao himself know what to do?
He is a politician, not a businessman.
Since neither Henry Keswick nor Niubijian knew how to do it, what was the use of coming to him?
"How much the Imperial Group spends to acquire it, you can also spend whatever amount to acquire it! You can even spend a higher price to acquire it. This is only legal and reasonable."
This time.
Henry Keswick, Niubijian was blinded.
They came to Governor Maliho because they had no money.
If they really have that much money, why should they come to the Governor to solve it?
What's more, even if they have so much money, they may have bought the shares of Jardine and Heung Kong Land long ago. The problem is that they don't have any!
This simply means why not eat minced meat!
It seems that it is really unnecessary and a waste of time to come to Governor Mailihao by himself.
Neither can this, nor can that.
Henry Keswick and Niu Bijian didn't want to waste time here anymore.
They said hello to the Governor, Mr. Maliho, and left in a hurry.
Looking at the appearance of these two people, Mailihao looked a little ugly.
No more accidents.
Mr. Yang of Imperial Group will definitely swallow up Jardine Land!
It seems that as the governor, I will have more contact with Mr. Yang in the future!
