Chapter 134 Who will take the blame (8)
In the late 1990s, before the construction of the Hong Kong International Financial Centre project, Jardine Mall was definitely the top commercial skyscraper closest to Victoria Bay in Central, Hong Kong.
In the direction of Jardines Building facing the bay, it is only more than 100 meters away from Pier Nine in Central.
Ji Mingjie did not enter the underground parking lot of Jardine Mall with the car, but got off at the atrium fountain in front of the main entrance of the building.
Standing on the water-milled marble in the atrium square, Ji Mingjie looked up his head and looked up along the unique circular window of the Jardine Building to the rooftop. A breeze blew, and the mist of the atrium fountain burst into gently brushing past Ji Mingjie.
Feeling the little wetness on my face, Ji Mingjie's thoughts drifted with the wind. In the near future, I will definitely become the owner of this beautiful building. Ji Mingjie thought firmly.
Withdrew his confident gaze and took a deep breath, Ji Mingjie walked up the stairs in front of the main entrance of Jardine Arts.
It has to be said that Ji Mingjie really has confident capital at this moment. Within the past 24 hours, Ji Mingjie has reached an agreement with Gu Lusheng. In the next half month, the Gu family will mobilize at least HK$2 billion in funds to support Ji Mingjie's acquisition plan.
At this point, the funds that Ji Mingjie can use have exceeded 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. If short-term lending financing is included, the funds controlled by Ji Mingjie are close to 15 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is very difficult to acquire Jardine Mathematics of this scale, but it is already more than rich in acquiring Hong Kong Land, even if it is an extreme barbarian kicking door.
Hong Kong Land is the most important cornerstone of Jardine Mahjong Group assets in Hong Kong. As long as you acquire several other Jardine Mahjong listed companies, Jardine Mahjong Pacific, Dairy Cow International and other companies will sooner or later fall into the hands of Ji Mingjie.
After all, most of the properties leased by operating projects such as Wellcome Supermarket, 7-11 convenience stores, and Meixin Food are commercial real estate under Hong Kong Land, and commercial land rent is definitely one of the important factors affecting the profit losses of the above-mentioned companies.
Following the dark brown revolving door, Ji Mingjie had just walked into the lobby of Jardine Building, but found that the elevator door on the right in front of him was slowly closing, and a familiar figure was facing the elevator door and saying something.
In the blink of an eye, the silver-gray elevator door was completely closed, and Qilianshan's face flashed in Ji Mingjie's sight.
What did he do in Yihe Building? Countless question marks emerged from Ji Mingjie's mind.
Ji Mingjie is very familiar with the background information of Qilian Mountains. He knows that this so-called patriotic overseas Chinese is very complicated and has a very close relationship with Ning Lei and Tang Wan.
He absent-mindedly pressed the elevator button a few times. While waiting for the elevator, Ji Mingjie tried hard to recall Tang Wan's every move in Hong Kong recently, until another elevator arrived. Ji Mingjie did not expect anything wrong with Tang Wan in Hong Kong recently.
None of the listed companies under Jardine Mathematics Group issued an announcement indicating that there were more than 5% of the equity changes in major stocks, and it seemed that everything was at control.
"Young Master, Mr. Tang, I seem to see General Manager Ji just walked in through the main entrance of the building." Qilianshan said to Liang Yuan, who was standing diagonally opposite him.
When Ji Mingjie saw Qilian Mountain, there was only one line left in the elevator door. He leaned against the side wall of the elevator with his back to the elevator door, Liang Yuan and Tang Wan standing beside Liang Yuan, Ji Mingjie could not see it at all.
"Aunt Ning. Will Mr. Ji jump up at the press conference after a while?" Liang Yuan asked with a smile.
Liang Yuan and Qilianshan had just met Tang Wan on the first floor of the building. If Ji Mingjie arrived five minutes earlier, the two groups would just meet in the atrium on the ground floor of the building.
Tang Wan glared at Liang Yuan and ignored someone who was cautious.
The light green halo flashed a few times and then steadily put it on the number 28. Ji Mingjie reached out to straighten the bow tie on the neckline, and the elevator door slowly opened in front of Ji Mingjie's eyes.
Walking out of the elevator entrance on the 28th floor, the driver Feng Feng, who came up first, had already been waiting at the entrance of the elevator with his briefcase.
Watching Ji Mingjie walk out of the elevator, Simon Caesar's secretary Mary stood up from the reception desk, walked over with a smile and said, "Mr. Ji, Chairman Ximen is waiting for you in the office."
During this period, Ji Mingjie would go to Jardine Mall to negotiate with Caesar on the issue of share transfers every week.
Of course, the so-called negotiation is bargaining and Ji Mingjie put pressure on Caesar. Although Caesar was unhappy with Ji Mingjie's attitude of taking advantage of the situation, the majority of the situations between the two were not speculative, Caesar did not completely close the door to negotiations.
In Caesar's actual plan, Ji Mingjie mostly acted as a "support" and has been used these days as a bargaining chip for bargaining in negotiations with Nübijian.
In fact, if Yuan Jia had not provided another option for Caesar, facing Ji Mingjie, who controls the scale of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds, might have done Simon? Caesar would compromise. Unfortunately, people will die if they compare themselves, and goods will be thrown if they compare themselves. Fate chose Ji Mingjie as the one who was thrown.
Pushing open the heavy door of Caesark's office, Ji Mingjie found that Caesark's office was very lively. Three or four rusty white faces who had never seen before were sitting on Caesark's reception sofa and were discussing something.
"Oh, oh. Welcome to Jardine Jardine's next owner, President Ji."
Simon Caesar came up with a smile and gave Ji Mingjie a warm hug.
"Where did Chairman Ximen start with this?" Ji Mingjie's English was quite good, and he grasped the key content of Simen's words without any fault.
Simon Caesar blinked his wrinkled eyelids and said with a look you know, and I understand, "President Ji must have studied your country's business Bible in depth Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the strategy of "speaking east and attacking west" was very exciting."
"These are old friends of the Caesar family and are also one of the shareholders of Hong Kong Land." Simon Caesar reached out to introduce the white people near the sofa.
After hearing Caesar's introduction, the white men in front of him were also shareholders of Hong Kong Land. Ji Mingjie's eyes lit up, while greeting everyone enthusiastically while thinking about Simon Caesar's intentions.
Could it be that this old guy has learned that the Gu family and I are going to compromise? Ji Mingjie thought about it secretly.
Gu Lusheng is not only famous in the Hong Kong business community, but also one of the few Chinese rich people in Southeast Asia.
Although Gu Lusheng is the eldest among the Gu brothers, he is respected as Gu Sanye in the Hong Kong business district. In his early years, Gu Lusheng was nicknamed Gu Sanduo by Hong Kong people for a lot of money, land, and wife. As a result, when he got older, Gu Sanduo became Gu Sanye.
Since the Gu family has a huge influence throughout Southeast Asia and the relationship between Hong Kong HSBC is also very close, it can be said that if the Gu family participates in the acquisition of Jardine Mathematics, Simon Caesar must carefully consider the huge costs incurred by resisting the acquisition and the probability of resisting the success.
The old guy's voice sounded like a striking attack on the west meant something new happened to Tang Wan? It made the old guy feel huge pressure? Thinking of the Qilian Mountains that had just glanced at, Ji Mingjie's questions were like a series of huge bubbles rising in the water, and it kept popping up and exploding in his mind.
After the greetings, before Ji Mingjie found the opportunity to continue to dive into the topic just now, Simon Caesar looked at the British classical floor-standing clock in a corner of the office and said, "The time for the press conference is coming soon. Should Mr. Ji go to the conference hall on the seventh floor with us?"
Simon Caesar said while ringing the bell and calling the executive secretary of the outside room.
"Chairman Ximen, I wonder what the theme of this press conference is?"
"Just simply talk to friends in the media about Jardine's future."
Ji Mingjie was very happy at first, and combined with his greetings when he first entered the door, listening to Simon Caesar's meaning as clearly letting go of Ysah.
However, although Tang Wan and herself are buying Jardine’s stock orders, they never exceed the warning line that must be announced by 5%. They are still 108,000 miles away from Jardine’s next owner as Simon Caesar. There is no need to hold a press conference at this time. What’s going on?
Feeling that several layers of fog lingered in front of you, covering up the truth of the matter, Ji Mingjie's heart suddenly tightened again. (~^~)
