Chapter 18 Kai Tak

Regarding the news about Nübijian's return to Hong Kong, Yuanjia gave the news to the Hong Kong press without any concealment. Therefore, the news that Nübijian's appointment as an independent director of Gwanghwa International is not exclusive to the Hong Kong Island Daily.

Although Hong Kong's economic environment has undergone great changes at this time, Jardinet, which still dominated the title of Hong Kong's No. 1 consortium, has still had an extremely huge influence in Hong Kong.

As only a few people who controlled the entire Jardines Group ten years ago and stood at the peak of Hong Kong's power, the news that Newbie Binjian clearly confirmed that he had returned to Hong Kong to work was a major news bomb in Hong Kong. Dozens of media outlets across Hong Kong have conducted detailed reports and multi-angle analysis on the front and second editions.

From ancient times to the present, both at home and abroad, except in Hollywood blockbusters, there are few examples of not judging heroes by success or failure. No matter how Jardine Jardine fights in internal conflicts, in the eyes of many people, when Nübijian took over Jardine Jardine, Jardine was still the most dominant consortium in Hong Kong. When Nübijian left Jardine Jardine, Jardine Jardine had fallen to the point of surviving the tail.

Faced with the return of Newbiejian to the Hong Kong business district, Hong Kong media have mixed praises and criticisms. Given Jardine's historical status, Hong Kong media rarely divides into Chinese capital and British capital as before. Most media believe that Newbiejian has misled Jardine, which directly led to the rise of Chinese consortiums in Hong Kong and compressed the space of British capital in Hong Kong.

In contrast, a few media believe that Niu Bijian's focus on sticking to Hong Kong's strategy is correct. Looking at the rapidly developing Changjiang Industry, you will know that Niu Bijian's judgment is correct. If there is no Simon? The Caesar family dragged the back of the Jardine Mathematics board of directors, at this time, Jardine Mathematics is still the most dominant consortium in the Hong Kong business world.

After watching Liang Yuan browse several mainstream newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, Qilianshan said, "Do you want to meet Niu Bijian?"

The matter of Niu Bijian's entry into the company was handled by Qilianshan. Judging from Liang Yuan's words and planning, the acquisition of Hong Kong Land will definitely be the president of Niu Bijian.

As the main provider of the group's cash flow in the future, Hong Kong Land will not be too late to enter Yuanjia's decision-making level. As Yuanjia's actual controller, Liang Yuanjian has sufficient reason to meet Nujia.

Liang Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need, Lao Qi has conveyed anything recently."

After pausing for a moment, Liang Yuan continued: "The name Jardinho has a special meaning for the modern history of the Republic and the history of Hong Kong's opening. Taking advantage of this opportunity to acquire Hong Kong Land, even if we cannot obtain Jardinho's business in Hong Kong, we are bound to win Jardinho Pacific, a subsidiary of Jardinho Holdings."

"The eldest young master is planning to borrow Jardine's old brand sign?" Qilianshan asked with some uncertainty.

"Well. I am very concerned about the name of Jardines in China. Once we successfully acquire Jardines, it can be regarded as a successful example of where we fall and get up. In a sense, the successful acquisition of Jardines will have a great driving force for the Group to successfully carry out its business in China in the future." Liang Yuan nodded.

Liang Yuan knew very well that after this year's turmoil, until Hong Kong's official return in 1997, the United Kingdom and British consortium caused countless disgusting things to the Republic in Hong Kong.

At this time, controlling a large enterprise with a long history and name Jardine Mahjong was of great benefit to calming down certain turmoil in Hong Kong society.

After more than a hundred years of deep cultivation and management, Jardine has penetrated into every corner of Hong Kong citizens' lives, including clothing, food, housing and transportation. For ordinary people, it doesn't matter who Jardine has to hold. What is important is that the attitude of Jardine’s companies around you is related to the stability of their own lives.

Jardine Pacific, which Liang Yuan mentioned just now, is a large listed company under Jardine Pacific, which includes more than a dozen affiliated subsidiaries. Its business involves several aspects such as elevator manufacturing, computer assembly and maintenance, office automation, automobile trade, airport operations, ship maintenance, engineering construction, logistics and shipping.

Jardine Pacific and other core businesses engaged in food, supermarkets, home furnishings, catering, convenience stores, etc., jointly build the daily life of ordinary people in Hong Kong.

It is precisely this high penetration in the lives of ordinary people that Jardine has a great influence on the stability of Hong Kong society. Once Yuan Jia loses this influence from Jardine, it is definitely something that the central government likes to watch.

Although Qilianshan has always been confident in Liang Yuan's judgment, he is still worried about Yuanjia and Deutsche Bank's bet of US$60 million to predict the decline of Hong Kong's stock market.

It is rare to encounter Liang Yuan who is interested in taking the initiative to mention various matters of acquiring Jardine. Qilianshan simply kept aside the topic of Jardine and expressed all the doubts in his heart. The two of them talked until noon.

After lunch and seeing off Qilian Mountains, Liang Yuan took a good afternoon nap and slept until 2:30 before getting up. He washed his face casually with cold water. Liang Yuan yawned out of the hotel.

Knowing that someone was going to the airport to pick up two girls, Qilianshan threw the sea lion in the parking lot of Wenhua Hotel on standby.

Ban Yi was in the customized leather aviation seats in the back seat of the Sea Lion, Liang Yuan looked at the rolling traffic connecting the front and tail through the brown window.

At this time, the new Hong Kong airport plan was still floating in outer space. From Central to Kai Tak, it could only pass through the Hung Hom Underwater Tunnel, which was completed in 1972.

Due to its short-sighted planning, the two-way four-lane Hung Hom Underwater Tunnel was overwhelmed in the 1980s and became a traffic bottleneck between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon early on.

Objectively speaking, from the perspective of actual traffic flow, it is timely even if the Hong Kong government has begun to launch a new airport plan.

The Republican government's desperate opposition back then was nothing more than the British's sinister death.

The budget for the new airport and its affiliated core transportation supporting projects exceeded HK$150 billion. Among the construction of hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, the Hong Kong Island Colonial Government only left 8% of the project value share for the Republic.

In the 1990s, the construction of the new Hong Kong airport was a feast for global construction-related consortiums, and all Western developed countries shared the profits of varying amounts.

Because he used to transfer to Hong Kong often, Liang Yuan vaguely remembered that he had seen the winning situation of all the consortiums that undertake the construction of the new airport in a magazine introducing the construction of the new airport.

In Liang Yuan's memory, Japan won the largest cake in the future with a share of 26%, with Hong Kong local companies following with a share of 23%, and the UK locals received a share of 16%

Through the disclosure of engineering details on the Internet in later generations, Jardines accounts for more than 15% of the 23% share obtained by local Hong Kong companies.

From the market share of Hong Kong's new airport, we can see that the British are worthy of being the empire that once ruled the world. They pushed the Japanese who were in full swing at that time as cannon fodder to attract hatred. Then their own companies were divided into Hong Kong and local areas to participate in the bidding, hiding behind the Japanese, and quietly winning the biggest cake.

The construction of the new Hong Kong airport is, in a sense, a completely different version of the imperialist division of frenzy. The Republic occupies the fourth nominal position with 8% of the share, while the rest of the Netherlands (6%) and France (5%) are; Belgium and New Zealand are each account for 3%; Spain, Australia, the United States and Germany are each account for about 2%; Italy, South Africa, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Portugal and Denmark are each account for the remaining 2%.

Except for Japan, which left Asia and Europe, the rest can basically be regarded as an Anglo-Saxon carnival.

Of course, in the early 1990s, the cosmic power that unified the starry sky in later generations was still studying the style of kimchi at the southern end of the peninsula, and was so bitter that it was not as good as this wave of sharing spoils.

Liang Yuan's thoughts were flying, and his eyes darkened, and the sea lion bread drove into the Hung Hom submarine tunnel.

The bright yellow light emitted by the two rows of high-pressure sodium lamps at the zenith of the undersea tunnel turned into a yellowish color similar to the desert sand after passing through the brown window of the sea lion. The entire carriage was filled with a wild and ancient atmosphere.

Liang Yuan stretched out his fingers and rubbed his forehead, took a deep breath, but he didn't know how many breaths of breath he could leave after he was slapping.

Once Yuanjia discounts the thickest thigh in Hong Kong, after the turmoil in the Republic, can the future Governor of Hong Kong still have the confidence to promote the construction of a new airport with great fanfare?

If the Hong Kong and British governments propose, what attitude will the Republic government take to treat the new airport construction plan proposed by the British?

The eyes suddenly lit up, and the sea lion quickly drove out of the Hung Hom submarine tunnel. With the bright sunlight filling the interior of the car, the two girls' smiles rose from Liang Yuan's mind.

Thinking about the beautiful beauty wearing a short skirt and her straight thighs exposed, someone felt a little excited and threw Jardinet, Hong Kong British, the central government and so on behind his head.

"Please note that the flight Ca116 that flew to this site will arrive at this site at 15:27." Accompanied by the sweet voice of the airport broadcaster, Liang Yuan stood up from his seat and walked towards the exit of the airport green channel, which was still empty in the distance.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch. Liang Yuan estimated his departure time from Kai Tak Airport in the past. At most two minutes, the passenger flow from Air China flight Ca116 will appear in front of him.

He stretched out his palm and rubbed his cheeks. Liang Yuan yawned again. The high-intensity mental labor that had been intensively tiring Liang Yuan was exhausted when he arrived in Hong Kong in early June. When Liang Yuan suddenly relaxed his spirit.

"Xiaoyuan!"

"Pig head!"

Two gentle and crisp voices passed through nearly a hundred meters of space and poured into Liang Yuan's ears extremely clearly.
