Chapter 407: The Difficult Journey of the Leading Party

"Be safe and don't be impatient." The old god Tang Huan waved his hand on the ground, "You didn't realize that I have gained control of Yihe for a while, but I have not moved your position."

"What's so strange about this is that you, the winner, want to humiliate the loser face to face, and taste the pleasure of condescending." There is something to say."

"The prejudice in your heart is too deep. Although I am young, I still have the bearing I should have." Tang Huan looked regretful of being misunderstood, "Actually, I should thank you."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan seemed to be a little wandering in his thoughts, his eyes passed over Niu Bijian's shoulder, and fell on the lucky tree, "If you didn't make troubles several times, I would not have thought of buying a ready-made industrial consortium. Save trouble; without your chain ship structure, I certainly wouldn't be able to take Jardine and Landmark as a whole."

Looking back at Niu Bijian's face, Tang Huan smiled slightly, "In short, without the many ingenious cooperation of you, a hero, I would not be able to become the head of the Xiangjiang No. 1 Financial Group. Therefore, as a courtesy, I also I want to help you get out of your current predicament."

Hearing these heart-breaking words, Niu Bijian's old face instantly turned into a pig's liver color, his eyes were filled with gold stars, and his mind was buzzing, because the word "hero" was too harsh, like a The knife stabbed hard in his heart.

The fall of Jardines naturally requires someone to stand up and take responsibility for it. As the chairman of the board of directors and executive general manager of Jardines, Niu Bijian is destined to bear the brunt of the brunt and is duty-bound.

In the British Far East business interest group, because Newbikin was gradually at a disadvantage in the corporate political struggle with Simon Keswick, he has already begun to be unpopular, which has led to the accusations against him now Overwhelming. The evaluation of "British traitor" can be said to be endless.

Niu Bijian could only choose to suffer in silence for all these verbal criticisms from his own media circles. Who let Jardine die in his hands.

And Tang Huan's unequivocal "thank you" made Niu Bijian suddenly have a hallucination. It seems that he is really cooperating with the other party step by step.

Wharf, Landmark, Jardine, these important British companies were completely controlled by the Chinese one by one during his tenure.

Although I have failed, I can't even lose my basic dignity, and I must not lose my composure.

It has to be said that those who can occupy a high position are often those with a strong mind.

This thought flashed through Niu Bijian's mind. After calming down, compared to the impetuousness before, he calmed down.

He said lightly,

"Another way to boast about your own victories and humiliate your opponent's failures. Is this the kind of tolerance you just declared? However, please take back the word "heroic traitor". I'm just a businessman and I can't afford to make such an evaluation."

"I just quoted this word from Jardine's British shareholders. Since you don't like it, then I will try not to mention it." Tang Huan sighed, "It can be seen from your reaction that there is a relationship between us. It is indeed necessary to communicate calmly and calmly. To help you. To get rid of the current predicament, it is really out of my sincerity."

"Thank you." Niu Bijian squeezed the words out of his mouth expressionlessly, "Does Mr. Tang have any other instructions? If not, then I will leave."

"If I really gave you 1 million pounds to let you resign early and return to the UK, then you would really be a British traitor, because those who were originally against you would have a new excuse to put The 1 million pounds is said to be a transaction fee." Tang Huan said leisurely.

Niubijian had all buttocks off the chair. Hearing this, he sat back dejectedly.

"To put it bluntly, you senior managers are masters in Xiangjiang. But from the perspective of the British side, you are still wage earners after all. The arrangement after retirement is nothing more than working as a consultant in some organizations , continue to earn some pensions, and receive honors from the British court to maintain a decent status."

Tang Huan looked at Niu Bijian and smiled faintly, "Do you think that based on your current work results, after returning to the UK, you will receive the same treatment as other successful people?"

Niu Bijian's face was extremely ugly, and he stared at Tang Huan silently, but his eyes seemed unfocused.

"Xiangjiang is just a small colony after all. If the value of the Falkland Islands is not as high as that of a ball in the English top football league, then Xiangjiang may only be equivalent to a large number of balls. Even if you have worked a lot in Xiangjiang Years, but I only regard this place as a springboard for fame and fortune, without any sense of belonging, and I still have to return to the UK in the end."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan tapped the table with his fingers, "Ning the head, not the tail, you must have heard of this old Chinese saying. It is very difficult to continue to be a master here in Xiangjiang, and return to the UK to be treated coldly." Is it hard to choose?"

Niu Bijian's eyeballs moved, and he regained a little bit of anger, and asked hoarsely, "How do you plan to arrange me?"

"In the next round of organizational restructuring, Qinhe will become the top holding company. Its power structure is similar to that of companies in the United States. In addition to continuing to serve as the famous Jardine Taipan of Xiangjiang, you also have A staff and vice president position.”

Tang Huan stared at Niu Bijian, and emphasized his tone, "Qinhe is not just a holding company, it will sort out all the businesses of its subsidiaries into three major areas - Xiangjiang District, Mainland China District, International District, the weight of the vice president, But it’s full of gold.”

Seeing Niu Bijian leaning on the back of the chair, squinting his eyes as if thinking, Tang Huan smiled loudly, "I heard that although you have served in Jardine for decades, you don't have any shares in Jardine, which is incredible. .”

Niu Bijian heard teasing from Tang Huan's words, and his facial expression couldn't help but contort.

"I can give you shares." Tang Huan took out a document, put it on the table, and gently pushed it over.

Niu Bijian seemed to be casually flipping through the pages, but his slightly trembling fingers revealed that he was not at peace at this moment.

"In addition to knowing the old Chinese saying that Ning's head is not an oxtail, I have also heard the allusion of the name certificate. Please tell me, Mr. Tang, what do you want me to do?" Niu Bijian immediately added, "If it is If you are a traitor to a hero, then don’t talk about it.”

Tang Huan heard the meaning of submission from Niu Bijian's tone, so he said flatly, "You are just a businessman. How could you be so easily associated with the traitor."

"This is the best." Niu Bijian nodded righteously, but no matter how you look at it, there is a hint of being strong on the outside and doing nothing but stealing the bell.

"We are a legal business organization. It is not suitable to vote for a certificate." Tang Huan looked at Niu Bijian and said meaningfully: "You have been a Jardine Taipan for so many years. You are definitely a dragon among men. You must Know what role I need from you."

"I'd rather you point it out clearly than let me say it myself." Although Niu Bijian was unwilling in his heart, since he had decided to join Tang Huan, he could only do well with the knife in the opponent's hand.

"Although all the directors of Jardine UK have arrived, it is not difficult to see from their procrastinating actions that the resistance in their hearts is very strong. I will do my best to appease, persuade and divide them."

The so-called lower limit. In fact, it is refreshed again and again.

After having the beginning, Niu Bijian, who was still feeling a little awkward in his heart, suddenly found that there seemed to be unexpected discomfort, so his tone became brisk unconsciously.

"Currently, Jardine Matheson has nearly 400 affiliated and associated companies, whose businesses cover import and export trade, wholesale and retail trade, banking, insurance, financial services, terminal warehousing, real estate, shipping, aviation, tourism, and hotels. and public utilities, it definitely deserves the praise of 'big scale, boundless'."

A look of pride flashed across Niu Bijian's face. "Since Mr. Tang has won Hongkong Land and Jardines, he will naturally carry out asset restructuring. You can choose whatever you want for Landmark. Even privatization will not encounter resistance, but Jardines will not. British directors will definitely oppose any form of Split up, even at the expense of political resources.”

Speaking of this, Niu Bijian hesitated for a moment, then continued to speak through gritted teeth: "Since Jardine has changed owners, how can there be no change at all? I will do my best to assist Mr. Tang to achieve his goal."

"Sure enough, he is a dragon among men. What you said is too accurate. Now I really need to solve these problems." Tang Huan looked at Niu Bijian with a smile. Xin said that since the other party doesn't want to be a traitor, he should be a leader. Anyway, it doesn't affect the efficacy, just like Epson's Yaskawa Hideaki.

"You don't have to be too nervous. I am a person who knows how to measure. I won't mess around inside Jardine, tossing so that the chickens and dogs are restless and the gods are angry."

Tang Huan comforted Niu Bijian, who was a little emotional, "I have two goals for Jardine's asset reorganization, one is to separate a Qinhe Technology, and operate a business with obvious technological content; the other is to separate a Qinhe Technology Infrastructure, mainly to undertake some construction business in the mainland."

Standing up and pacing back and forth a few times, Tang Huan pretended to be confiding in his heart, "There is an old saying in China, which is called returning home with a piece of cloth. What was needed was not a computer, but a urea plant to help increase food production, and there was nothing I could do."

Tang Huan sighed softly, "Similar to this, there are still many basic livelihood projects, so I plan to form a Qinhe infrastructure and invest in my hometown in mainland China."

"Mr. Tang's request is reasonable." Niu Bijian's eyes suddenly flashed brightly, "For most of the past one and a half centuries, Jardine's main source of profit came from mainland China. This trend began in 1950. It stopped abruptly at the beginning of the 1990s, but with the reform and opening up of mainland China, new attempts were made. For example, in 1980, Jardine participated in the investment of the first joint venture 'China Aviation Food Co., Ltd.' and the first industrial joint venture Enterprise 'China Schindler Elevator Co., Ltd.'."

Niu Bijian looked at Tang Huan as if he had discovered Jinshan, "But it is undeniable that both parties to the cooperation are very cautious, or it can be said that they lack mutual trust, so they can only make small and small tentative investments. But Tang Sir, it is different, you do business in mainland China, there is no question of trust or not. For the shareholders of Jardine, this is a completely rare opportunity.”

"You mean, with my resources in this area, I can get the support of some Jardine UK shareholders?" Tang Huan, who sat down again, asked thoughtfully.

"Indeed." Niu Bijian nodded emphatically, "The reason why Simon Keswick has been arguing about international operations is nothing more than a judgment based on his family's fear of mainland officials, and there are many people who agree, but this The stronger the sentiment, the more it can reflect that everyone's desire for the Chinese market has never stopped, it's just that there are no reliable channels, but you can provide such resources."

Speaking of this, Newbikin suddenly emphasized his tone, "It can be said that for Jardine, a new opportunity has come."

Looking at Niu Bijian, who was obviously a little excited, Tang Huan narrowed his eyes slightly. He had already seen that he finally chose the other party who would not destroy himself, and he was still unavoidably uneasy and conflicted, so he desperately searched for various excuses To comfort and cover up, such as using Jardine's bright future to whitewash Jardine's current change of door.

Niu Bijian didn't seem to notice it, or simply ignored the change in his mentality, and began to actively offer advice and suggestions to Tang Huan on various situations in Yihe, talking endlessly, it was like a chatterbox that opened up, and he couldn't stop it.

When the contented Niu Bijian got up to say goodbye, Tang Huan went all the way to the car, and when he personally opened the door to invite him into the car, Zhou Mi who followed him was stunned.

After returning to the office, Zhou Mi couldn't help asking, "Niu Bijian, is this surrender to us?"

"Niu Bijian is a British man with integrity. He doesn't want to be a traitor, but just reluctantly becomes a leader." Tang Huan nodded playfully.

I have long been familiar with Tang Huanqi's Zhou Mi's strange talk, and I immediately understood the meaning of it, and immediately laughed heartily, "Da Tang, you really have you. With Niu Bijian's defection, the idea of ​​using barbarians to control barbarians has saved a lot of money." strength."

The two were talking and laughing, and the assistants brought in several stacks of documents, all of which were needed for the board meeting.

Looking at the hills on the desk, Tang Huan had a huge head at that time. Fortunately, the assistant worked meticulously and put the most outline and contract documents on the top.

"By the way, Yumin Finance has also come to see you. After Jianing's fraudulent tricks were exposed, the audacity of the executives of Yumin Finance and enriching their pockets was also cleared by the head office in Malaysia. , was cheated into misery, and there is no hope of recovering the loan."

Zhou Mi smiled gloatingly, "They want to get back our loan and are willing to give up the interest. They probably plan to shut down Yumin Finance in Xiangjiang."

"The one who owes the money is the grandson, and the one who borrowed the money is the grandson. Why should you pay back the money in advance before the deadline?" Tang Huan sneered, "Go and tell them that I am asking several banks, including the Bank of China. Jointly provide 5 billion loans, Yumin Finance is welcome to join in.”

"And let this unlucky guy put money out?" Zhou Mi took a breath, and waved his hands again and again, "I don't have your kind of ability to teach Niu Bijian." (To be continued)
