Chapter 387： Alliance results

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

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

"Let's talk about it, what can I do with us tonight?"

Despite his guesses, Norman Shi Yahuai asked.

Old John didn’t answer his question, but he told himself: “Everyone should know that with the economic development these years, Chinese capital has grown rapidly and can compete with us. They are no longer satisfied with the current market distribution. But the cake is so big! This time, although their goal is my Jardine, they are actually targeting the entire British capital!"

The expressions of Norman Shi Yahuai and the others changed slightly as soon as they said this, and it was obvious that they were in their hearts.

This is indeed the case!

Originally, except for those low-threshold mass-market industries, high-threshold industries such as aviation and hydropower were all controlled by British capital. This was determined by the franchise license granted by the Hong Kong government.

However, because of the changes in the world in recent decades, and Xiangjiang is the mainland's window to the outside world, many Chinese capitals have taken advantage of the trend to rise up. Among them, shipping is a typical representative, and British capital cannot suppress it.

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

After the rise of the real estate industry, the Chinese capital seized the opportunity. The real estate industry that was originally monopolized by British capital was continuously eroded by Chinese capital. Many real estate giants appeared, even British Land, Swire Properties, Wharf, etc. They still occupy the top positions, and they are also sitting on pins and needles.

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

Long ago, they felt the restlessness of the Chinese capital, but they also knew that because of the difference in strength, the Chinese capital did not dare to act rashly.

But now, this time the Chinese capital is targeting the Jardine consortium with great momentum, and they can't help but be wary.

It's just that they didn't directly threaten themselves after all, so Norman Shiyahuai and John Madden didn't want to get involved and expand the fight.

Because they understand that if you pull the whole body together, it will be easy to end, but it will be hard to retreat if you want the whole body!

They haven't suffered a loss yet, so why take the initiative to jump in and make a stand for Yihe!

Because of this mentality, all of them were silent, and despite their vigilance, they did not pick up Old John's words.

The reaction of Norman Shiyahuai and the others made Old John a little anxious. He couldn't help but increase the volume and said again: "You should understand that if I fail, Huazi will definitely make progress. If they form a general trend, you will also Become their goal!"

"We are people with vested interests. They are newly emerging capitalists. They are naturally on the opposite side. None of us can stay out of the matter!"

Norman Shiya frowned slightly and said: "Keswick, competition will always exist, just like we all have competition. In essence, it depends on our own strength. You are now being targeted because of your Yihe. I am not like you because of the evil consequences of the previous large-scale annexation and expansion.

"They want to use the same method to deal with Taikoo Foreign Company, it just won't work!"

Norman Shi Yahuai said confidently.

Swire Pacific is positioned more accurately than the Jardine consortium. Although it has expanded, it has not expanded as rapidly as the Jardine consortium. Therefore, it now has strong control over its subsidiaries. Xia Yu and others want to attack Swire Pacific from the financial market. , The difficulty is very high, so he is not worried at all.

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

"Keswick, just tell me, what is your purpose!"

Norman Shi Yahuai said concisely.

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

It's just that both of them are expressionless and don't know what they are thinking.

"Well, let me just say it straight, I hope everyone can help me, help me keep these companies as much as possible, and beat the offense of Chinese capital.

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

Old John solemnly pleaded, and made a promise.

The three of them fell into contemplation, and the atmosphere solidified for a long time. For a long time, Qi Dezun took the lead to say: "Keswick, it's not that I don't want to help, but that we are all overwhelmed."

After speaking, Qi Dezun stretched out his hands helplessly.

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

Because Hutchison Whampoa is really in a quagmire!

Around 1965, Hutchison had about 50 subsidiaries and affiliated companies.

However, in 1975, only a decade or so had passed, and Hutchison International owned more than 360 subsidiaries and affiliated companies, which shows the ferocity of the expansion.

However, the consequences of expansion appeared, coupled with the impact of the general environment, and Hutchison International suffered serious losses. Afterwards, under the drastic reforms of the professional manager of "Doctor Genius" Werry, Hutchison International vigorously divested its non-performing assets. Within a year, 107 companies were dissolved or sold, and after that, they continued to rectify and divest themselves.

Then, in early January of this year, Hutchison International and Whampoa Shipping merged to form what is now Hutchison Whampoa. This was a breath of relief.

However, the situation is still not optimistic. Hutchison Whampoa’s low stock price is a positive 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 was full of loopholes, and it would be good if he was not spotted. Where would he jump out? He was eager for Xia Yu and others to ignore Hutchison Whampoa!

It's a pity that Qi Dezun is going to be disappointed. What he doesn't know is that Hutchison Whampoa has been spotted for a long time. After the bad luck of the Jardine Consortium, he will be the next bad luck!

I don't know if he will pass out angrily at that time!

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

John Madden said apologetically.

Among the four major British consortiums, Wheelock has the shortest establishment time and the smallest strength. He doesn't want to proactively cause trouble and share the worries for Jardine.

Compared with the one-two-hundred-year history of the Jardine Consortium and Taikoo Yang, Wheelock was very young. It was only established in 1925. John Madden tried to sell the company several times. The most recent one was related to the Jardine Consortium.

That was in October 1976, when Wheelock was seeking a sale, and the Jardine consortium stepped in to prepare to acquire Wheelock. By December, Wheelock and Jardine and Land Group decided that if they failed to reach a deal within 10 days, they planned to purchase. It will be cancelled, but unfortunately this acquisition battle was ultimately difficult to produce due to competition from multiple companies.

Then the economy recovered in the past two years, the real estate industry once again flourished, and Wheelock was relieved again. John Madden's ambitions recovered again and he no longer thought about selling the company.

Some time ago, the ship king Bao Yu just abandoned the ship ashore, and Wheelock also intends to purchase a large number of Bao Yugang’s ships. Now it is under intense negotiations. Now let John Madden go against Bao Yugang and others. Isn't it troublesome 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. There are fewer listed companies and there is no fear of being attacked.

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

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

The four people have different minds They do not have the conditions for cooperation at all!

Therefore, the talks that Old John had high hopes for ended in vain. The only thing that made Old John feel a little better was that Norman Shiya of Taikoo Foreign Firm had a lot of thoughts. Obviously, tonight's words took root in his heart.

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

Old John’s main goal was Swire Pacific. After all, he knew the situation of Hutchison Whampoa and Wheelock and he was indeed overwhelmed.

Ask them to come together tonight, that is, to see if there is a chance, they can achieve the best, and neither will they be disappointed.

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