I haven't been a boss for many years

The three of them together do have this kind of strength.

It is not a matter of a day or two for the Chinese consortium to covet Jardine. In 1980, Niu Bijian, the chairman of the Jardine Group, in order to prevent the Chinese consortium from probing the Jardine Group, came up with the idea of ​​mutual control between the Jardine Group and Hongkong Land. The company's controlling stake is called "Jardine Mutual Control" by the business community. To put it bluntly, Jardine Land replaces the equity with the headquarters to control each other to prevent shares from flowing out of the market. There are Hongkong shares, commonly known as "left pocket into right pocket", so that Jardine headquarters always holds more than 40.00% of Hongkong holdings, holding the largest shareholding.

This method has achieved remarkable results in the past few years, but with the decline of real estate in 84, Jardine's headquarters has been unable to provide cash to support the development of Landmark, and Jardine Mutual Control has become a bad move. The headquarters of Jardine did not make a move to raise it.

After acquiring Hong Kong Electric, Zhang Guobin, like many Chinese bigwigs, had thoughts on Jardine Land. Real estate companies in a downward cycle are paper tigers. The opportunity of the times.

Guobin Securities has been secretly buying shares of Jardine Land, and the equity is not particularly large, accounting for only about 5.00%.

Zhang Guobin doesn't want to keep Huo Guangtai and Bao Yugang's favor for a long time, so as not to be repaid in the future, but he is willing to split up Jardine together with the two big brothers, make a fortune together, and do business together...

"Okay."

Bao Yugang thought for a moment on the chair, then nodded and said: "Now is indeed an opportunity, so let's lead Huazi to lead a beautiful battle."

“Just in time to celebrate the victory of the Homeland Negotiations.”

The negotiation agreement has not yet been officially announced, but several main points have been clarified, and there are rumors in political and business circles.

Huo Guangtai nodded and said: "Hu Yingxiang started his career in real estate, so he should be called together in this battle."

"It should be so." Zhang Guobin nodded with a smile.

1984年1月置地以每股12.3港元配售7200万股怡和股票，套现8.6亿港元，使置地持有怡和股权从42.6%减至25.3%。同时，怡和亦将对置地的持股量从30%减至25%。

In other words, there are 75% of Hongkong Land shares in circulation on the market this year, with a value of about 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, floating according to the market value. The three tycoons can raise corresponding funds in a short time. There are more than [-] million Hong Kong dollars, most of which come from the profits of the Japanese stock market. Through capital allocation, bank loans, fundraising and other means, it is not difficult to control Landmark.

However, the business war is not fought in this way. Once the controlling land is controlled, tycoons such as Zhang Guobin will bear the debts of Landmark, and Guobin Securities will face the problem of cash flow depletion.

So the three tycoons decided to continue smashing Jardine Land together. After smashing the stock price of Jardine Land, let the bank put pressure on Jardine Landmark, and at the same time send people to negotiate privately. Jardine Landmark has two options. To buy stocks, one is to sell the properties owned by Chinese capital to return blood.

"Splitting Jardine Land is a big project, and it will take at least a few months to operate, and the investment will be huge."

Zhang Guobin walked out of the Global Shipping Group building and left in a Hutou Mercedes. Sitting in the car, he picked up his mobile phone and made a call: "Superman Cao, the company is doing things according to the plan."

"Boss, have you settled with Huo Sheng and Bao Sheng?"

Cao Renchao was sitting in the office of the securities company, holding the phone with an excited expression.

"We're done." Zhang Guobin said in a simple tone.

We are all the same kind of people, with the same ambitions, how can we not agree?

"Okay." Cao Renchao simply accepted the order.

"After this battle, you will be worthy of the name Superman Cao in the stock market, more famous than Superman Li." Zhang Guobin said.

Cao Renchao chuckled, "Who am I? Boss, you're going to be as famous as Huo Sheng and Bao Sheng."

"Fame belongs to fame. Compared with the two seniors, I am still young." Zhang Guobin hung up the phone and looked out the window: "If Hongkong Land can be successfully split, can we also find opportunities to split Jardine in the future?"

Once this idea arises, it cannot be restrained and begins to grow crazily.

"Everyone, what is the opinion of the board of directors regarding Yihai Group's donation of 5000 million Hong Kong dollars to the Chinese side?"

Xiangjiang Jockey Club not only provides racecourse, horse racing, gaming and other services, but also provides high-end board and lodging services for members of the Jockey Club. There is a hotel in the form of a resort inside the racecourse.

In a meeting room, a dignified ghost in a high-end suit with gray temples stood at the head of the meeting table, facing the twelve directors of the board of directors below.

Before 1997, the Xiangjiang horse racing was officially called: Royal Jockey Club.

The chairman of the Jockey Club board of directors is recommended by the governor. The twelve board members are all representatives of the British consortium. Each director has extensive government experience. Director Li Xize sat on a chair, wearing a light-colored suit, pushing his glasses, and said in a deep voice: "In this situation, China is willing to accept donations from Yihai Group. I believe China has made its position clear. For the smooth operation of the Jockey Club from 84 to 97, it is recommended to stop 1cac's in-depth investigation of Yihai Group."

"It is possible to stop ICAC's investigation of telephone betting, but it should not interfere with the exercise of powers by CAC. Follow-up actions must be negotiated after watching the market."

Director Ying Jiabai is still not reconciled.

"I agree, I agree..." Many members of the board of directors expressed their opinions.

In the office, every ghost on the board of directors has an authentic Chinese name, which shows the painstaking efforts of Xiangjiang's ruling class.

Chairman of the Jockey Club Xia Weili led the way: "Then call the Commissioner of Corruption first and convey the opinion of the Emperor Jockey Club."

"yes, sir."

"Yes, sir" The twelve directors of the Jockey Club all expressed their position on behalf of the financial group behind them. In a sensitive situation, every small action may cause a big reaction. Everyone must not only protect the interests of the Jockey Club, but also the financial group behind it. For the benefit of the Jockey Club, it is not a shame to give up part of the betting amount. Anyway, the upper-level negotiations have failed, and the bottom-level economy will naturally be affected. A strong country means strong people, and a weak country means weak people.

If you bow your head and admit defeat when you should fight back bravely, your opponents will look down on you.

A week later.

Zhang Guobin ordered people to park the car at the intersection, opened the door, stepped out of the car, and shouted to a figure in front: "Yan Si, are you interested in having a cup of coffee together?"

Yan Xiuqing just got out of the car and came to the bottom of the apartment building. Hearing the sound, she turned to look at Zhang Guobin with a surprised expression: "Mr. Zhang!"

"What's the matter, surprise me?" Zhang Guobin smiled lightly.

"I invite people to drink coffee, but no one dares to refuse, otherwise..." He went straight upstairs, joking.

Yan Xiuqing's pupils shrank, and she didn't dare to take this sentence as a joke. She turned around and walked towards Zhang Guobin, and said solemnly, "I believe that Mr. Zhang is a person who can do great things, please!"

"Let's have a cup of coffee together."

There is a coffee shop just down the street.

Zhang Guobin nodded in satisfaction, and entered the coffee shop with Yan Xiuqing, followed closely by six bodyguards, standing around the table in the coffee shop, Zhang Guobin and the waiter ordered a cup of latte, while Yan Xiuqing habitually ordered iced Americano, After the waiter brought two cups of coffee to the table, Zhang Guobin drank the coffee and said, "Yan Si, now that the limelight has passed, you and I can make friends."

"Although the investigation of the serious case in Central has determined that the murderer is a member of the Daquan Gang, I believe that Qi Shuqiu's disappearance cannot be separated from you." Yan Xiuqing said sharply: "If you want me to be friends with a man with blood on his hands, do you deserve it? "

"Hehe, Yan Si's words are too fierce." Zhang Guobin sat on the stool, propped his hands on the table, and smiled indifferently: "Qi Shuqiu may be absconding with bribes, embezzlement, or a ruthless hand under the help of the big circle. Now the serious crime team has listed Qi Shuqiu as a missing fugitive, why should you pour dirty water on me."

"I have a lot of blood in my hands, but you have less?"

"Everyone has different methods. After all, everyone's blood is blood, regardless of high or low. Those capitalist consortiums outside are covered with more blood. I'm a fart." Zhang Guobin's words are worth thinking about.

Yan Xiuqing said coldly: "You still want to bribe my family members, but don't be delusional, I have asked A Cai to hand over the stolen goods to the ICAC."

A Cai is his woman.

Chapter 302

Some time ago, brother Yao once again bribed Yan Xiuqing's family members. Like everyone who accepts bribes and is addicted to money, the other party did not resist the temptation of money after all.

But Yan Xiuqing's head was not showing off, and when she noticed that the level of material expenses of women had soared, she immediately realized something was wrong.

He immediately checked his wife's recent bank accounts thoroughly, and learned that his wife had accepted a bribe of 50 Hong Kong dollars in cash, so he chose to take his wife to Lian Kee to surrender, and handed over the black money while undergoing investigation.

Yan sir is an upright and ruthless person.

Zhang Guobin was also full of respect for him, shaking his head and said: "Money is the way the company makes friends with you. I will use two words to make friends with you-love!"

"I can help you out of a lot of trouble..."

Yan Xiuqing frowned: "I am willing to accept the internal investigation, and I don't need your help."

"and…

Yan Xiuqing looked directly at Zhang Guobin: "You are my biggest trouble."

"Um."

Zhang Guobin calmly took out a Hong Kong dollar, put it on the table, and glanced at him: "Since Sir Yan looks down on me, I hope that Yan Si must look down on me."

"You're right. I'm indeed your biggest problem. Be careful with your superiors. You understand the nature of ICAC better than I do. If I buy this cup, it's not considered a bribe, right?"

Zhang Guobin tidied up his suit, stepped forward and led the people out of the coffee shop, bent down and got into the car.

Yan Xiuqing saw the convoy leaving on the street through the glass, and couldn't help but feel a little frustrated: "The ICA's black gold operation is still going on, but the target of the action has shifted invisibly."

As a participant in the operation from the beginning to the end, it is impossible for Yan Si not to be aware of it, but he has no right to intervene in the decision-making of the direction of action.

The next day, in the morning.

In Yihai Building, many cameras were set up on the side of the road, and many reporters adjusted their lenses.

Zhang Guobin was wearing a black suit, wearing a mobile phone, and smoking a cigar.

On the other end of the phone, Wu Zhaonan's hurried voice came: "Prince, the matter of you donating money to the mainland for road construction is different from what I said?"

"Brother Wu, the Yihai Group should also report to you for donating money?" Zhang Guobin smiled.

Li Chenghao, Jin Limin, Yuan Bao, Ma Wang, the landlord, and a group of Yihai Dadi are wearing suits and ties, standing around politely. After crossing a certain road, more than [-] Minghai brothers dressed in suits, sunglasses, and security certificates around their necks scattered on both sides of the street to maintain traffic.

Wu Zhaonan got into the car with the phone, and said anxiously: "Prince, that's not what I meant. You take me with you when you make money, but don't take me with you when you donate money?"

"Brother Wu, you can say that you didn't make much money in the mainland." Zhang Guobin stood among the crowd, spit out white mist, and smiled lightly: "How dare I let you lose money again?"

"Hey, that's not what I said. You and I are the leaders of a brand name. Everyone has a share in patriotism. Hurry up and save a seat for me. I will rush over immediately. Don't say anything, it will be late and there will be a traffic jam in Hung Hom!"

Wu Zhaonan hung up the phone, sat in the back seat of the luxury car, hurriedly stuffed the red tie into the collar of his suit, and complained: "Prince Bin is such a thief, he will always come out on top every time, I will follow closely what will happen in the future Can you get along?"

In fact, as in the political and business circles, qualified bigwigs in the arena have more or less heard about the results of the negotiations. Wu Zhaonan's eager patriotism makes people laugh, but Wu's heart is full of sincerity.

The driver in front of the car said: "Brother Wu, the brothers in Jiulong have all bought flower baskets."

"Let them go to an advertising company to make a signboard, Hongshu Group donated 1000 million Hong Kong dollars to build roads for the mainland." Wu Zhaonan explained.

"Brother Jiaqian, 1000 million is a big deal." The driver exclaimed.

"Ten million is nothing!" Wu Zhaonan scolded, "Prince Bin directly donated 1000 million, that street boy always likes to play tricks, it's really hateful.

"But I heard that his money was also donated to road construction. Hehehe, if the roads in Fujian and Guangdong provinces are repaired, the company will earn more than 1000 million yuan in the mainland.

Prince Bingke has really blessed me. "Wu Zhaonan suddenly found a sinister smile.

It is not one person but thousands of people who benefit from the money spent. Just like the famous saying, if you want to get rich, build roads first.

Wu Zhaonan considers himself to be a member of the masses, and it is not illegal to return to China to enjoy the blessings.

When the convoy of Number Gang arrived at Mong Kok, Mong Kok was already full of people, with drums and gongs blaring, as if a bigger celebration was being held.

Wu Zhaonan pushed the door and got out of the car. Looking at the scene in front of him, he grinned and said, "It's just a donation. With such a big fanfare, the prince is really not afraid of being targeted by the Governor of Hong Kong."

Seeing Wu Zhaonan present, Zhang Guobin stepped forward to greet him, shook hands and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, is it okay to come here from the Southern District?"

"It's the same as you, sit on a flat bed." Wu Zhaonan said with a smile.

"Liu has done it, we are all waiting for you." Zhang Guobin put down his hands and led him forward. Liu Wenyan was dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, neatly dressed, accepting donations on behalf of the country, and happily chatting with Ma Wang, Yuan Bao and others.

Ma Wang, Yuan Bao is called a big show of hospitality.

Liu Wenyan attended the ceremony with a smile.

The impact of this donation is no less than that of the charter king going north to donate a hotel.

This time, Ma Wangtang donated 300 million, the landlord donated 300 million, Meijie donated 300 million, and the three donated is 900 million Hong Kong dollars, ingots, bucktooth balls,

Jin Limin each donated 200 million, the association contributed 500 million, and the remaining halls each donated 100 million. The three halls involved in telephone betting all contributed the most, and the rest of the halls all expressed their hearts. They are not qualified to be the bottom of the Yihai Group Direct dialogue with the country, but it is enough to attend relevant occasions, and the money has been paid.

Liu Ban also had to speak politely.

"Brother Wu, I'm donating money to keep you safe. Why don't you come to join in the fun? Don't you think it's too much money?" Zhang Guobin lowered his head and said to Wu Zhaonan, but Wu Zhaonan gave him a blank look, as if he didn't believe it: "I'm also donating money to keep you safe. Why are you allowed to keep safe and not allowed to keep me safe?"

"Mr. Liu." Without looking at Zhang Guobin, Wu Zhaonan raised his hand to greet Liu Wenyan who was in front of him. Liu Wenyan stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Wu, why are you here?"

"Mr. Liu was joking." Wu Zhaonan clapped his hands, and a younger brother stepped forward with a signboard.

"How could I, Wu, be missing from such a grand event?" He cupped his fists and said grandly, "The Xiangjiang Hongshu Group is willing to donate 1000 million Hong Kong dollars to help build roads in the mainland. I hope Mr. Liu will accept it. It's a bit presumptuous, I'm sorry."

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Liu Wenyan's eyes lit up.

"What's so embarrassing about this!" Wu Zhaonan was very domineering, and the younger brother immediately hung up the sign. Unfortunately, there were not many cameras around the number gang, and all of them were filming the Yihai Group. Liu Wenyan asked: "Then Mr. Wu please go Stand inside."

"Okay, okay." Wu Zhaonan stepped into the crowd.

The donation ceremony officially started. Representatives of the two groups handed over the signs and witnessed taking photos. As for the funds, they will be transferred to an office account in China. Both groups donate in the morning and arrive in the account in the afternoon. The action is very fast.

Click, click, at the bottom of Yihai Building, the spotlights flickered.

ICAC.

Wearing a suit, Yan Xiuqing stepped into the office area. The team members who used to be respectful and polite to him all avoided their eyes like seeing the plague god. Only a few who couldn't dodge would come forward and say hello: "Sir, sir! .”

"En." Yan Xiuqing was used to the situation in front of him. Since he brought his wife to hand in the black gold last week, the subordinate team members began to avoid him.

Yan Xiuqing can understand the team members' actions, but the atmosphere in the office area today is more deserted than in the past, Yu Hong, the assistant to the senior investigation director, stepped forward and whispered to him: "Sir Yan, Sir Lan and the people from Group L are waiting for you in the office .”

Xiangjiang government units are most afraid of ICAC, but ICAC is most afraid of the mysterious L group, because L group is specially established to investigate corruption within ICAC. !"

"Thank you." Yan Xiuqing took the lead slightly, she was already prepared in her heart, she pushed open the door non-stop and entered the office.

Three investigators from Group L were looking through documents and collecting information in the office, and an investigation director from Group L was sitting on the sofa, smoking and chatting with chief investigator Lan Hui.

Yan Xiuqing looked at the scene in the office, turned her head and shouted to Lan Hui: "Lan sir."

Lan Hui put out his cigarette, smiled, got up and punched him lightly, and said with a light smile, "Congratulations, Xiuqing."
