Chapter 135 Who will take the blame (9)
Following Ximen Caesar and a group of senior Hong Kong Land Development, a group of people took the elevator to the conference hall on the seventh floor. △↗,
Along the way, Ji Mingjie saw the two red wooden doors in Jardine Hall open at the maximum angle. It was just opposite the wooden door, which was just a short staircase. The steps were covered with warm beige carpets, and the long table with a dark gray floor-falling tablecloth seemed to be a temporary rostrum.
Although Simon Caesar invited him strongly, Ji Mingjie insisted on refusing the invitation to board the rostrum together.
Sitting in the middle of the rostrum, from time to time, familiar financial reporters came over to try to inquire, but they were all left silently by Simon Caesar.
"Old Caesar, do you really think that Chinese Ji and Niu Bijian are in the same group?"
Ed Douglas Coble, the former shareholder of Hong Kong Land, casually looked at the Hong Kong media chaotic below the rostrum and asked Simon Caesar in a low voice.
"So what? So what if it's not?"
"The gentlemen from London are about to stay away from the barren land of the Far East. The history of this half century has long told us what to do?" Simon Caesar smiled cunningly.
Ed's eyes lit up suddenly, regardless of whether the Hong Kong media below were stretching their necks to find the reason for the sudden news conference, he patted Caesar's shoulder and laughed.
For half a century, the power of the Empire of Sun never set began to fade rapidly. In order to prevent being liquidated by people from being liquidated for three hundred years, when the British Empire evacuated India, Pakistan was left behind, India was a pair of mortal enemies. When the British Empire evacuated the Middle East, it turned around and threw the Arab mortal enemy into the Middle East powder barrel and established the country by Jerusalem... There are countless examples of this.
Although the mainstream international moral standards at this time are very different from those decades ago. Jardinet's evacuation from Hong Kong does not have the hidden worries of being liquidated when the British Empire evacuated, the genes in their bones still affect Simon Caesar's style of conduct.
In addition, Ji Mingjie seized the opportunity of turbulence in Hong Kong stock market and robbed the fire. He often used aggressive methods in negotiations to try to make Caesar realize the reality. If Caesar said nothing in his heart, it would be nonsense.
Now that Jardine's evacuation from Hong Kong has been decided, Caesar found that Ji Mingjie seemed to be ignorant of the series of changes behind Jardine. Is he pretending to be so cunning or really ignorant? Caesar will inevitably throw a "pit" over. Try how Ji Mingjie dealt with it.
If Ji Mingjie and Nübijian were in the same group, there was nothing wrong with Caesar's so-called early congratulations. If Ji Mingjie and Nübijian were not in the same group, then the subsequent development of things would be much more interesting. Seeing the opportunity to disturb the situation is at hand. As a pure-bred Anglo-Saxon Simon Caesar, if he let go of it and did not cherish it, he would definitely be struck by lightning.
Jardine’s official spokesperson, Maria Carey, stood alone in front of the speech table in front of the left side of the rostrum.
Although Maria's face calmly looked like she was concentrating on checking the speech, Maria's calves, which were covered by the speech stage, were trembling gently in a place where the news media could not see it.
From the first moment I read through the press release, Maria Kelly tried her best to adjust her spirit and try to keep her emotions in a very stable state.
The good professional qualities developed over the years finally played a role at critical moments, and Maria Kelly finally maintained the superficial form that a qualified spokesperson should have.
Looking at the watch and the quartz clock hanging on the wall, Maria Kelly confirmed that there were three minutes left before the official meeting of the press conference. She was planning to quickly read the press release in her hand and brewing a normal tone of speaking. Maria Kelly suddenly heard an extremely harsh noise suddenly appear in the back row of the press seat.
Looking down the sound, a familiar face came into Maria Carey's eyes.
Nubijian waved his hands at the recording pen and microphone that were rushing towards the tide with a smile. He quickly walked up to the rostrum along the passage against the wall.
After making a strong and intimate hug with Simon Caesar, Newbijian pulled out the chair and sat down on the empty seat specially left beside Caesar.
Looking at the actions of Newbijian and Simon Caesar, the reporters at the audience started to make a loud noise.
"Brother Wang, who is he? Why are so many people starting to be excited?"
Ji Mingjie heard a novice reporter who had just been to Hong Kong Financial News asking about his partner.
"Xiao Li, you don't know who he is? But no wonder, you might still be in elementary school when he ruled Yihua."
"Is he... Niu Bijian, the previous chairman of Jardine Group?" The young voice was full of surprise.
"Yes, when Simon Caesar and Jardine London shareholders fought against the Jardine Far Eastern faction led by Newbijian on the board of directors. The civil strife lasted for three or four years. In the end, Newbijian failed and was kicked out by Jardine. Westbijian and Newbijian can be said to be one of the most famous business rivals in Hong Kong in the 1970s."
"Now, look at the two of them, how could they look like a mortal enemy? Tsk tsk, whether it is Newbiejian who turned back and ate Jardine Grass again, today's press conference is probably going to be big news." Ji Mingjie found that there was an unconcealable excitement in his mature voice.
"Gentlemen, ladies, and friends from the press. Hello, everyone, today, we are here to hold an external press conference for Jardine Group. On behalf of Jardine Group, I would like to say...."
With Maria Kelly's gentle and melodious Oxford accent spread throughout the audience, the sudden appearance of Jardine Mahjong press conference finally officially started.
"In 1832, Jardines Group was officially established in Guangzhou, China......... Before Hong Kong, Jardines..."
Listening to Maria Kelly chanting the chronicles of Jardine Centre on the stage, the smart people in the group of journalists below had vaguely guessed the ultimate purpose of this press conference.
"Xiao Li, this time it's really big news. Maybe Yihe is going to run away." The mature baritone behind Ji Mingjie sounded again.
Senior financial journalists in Hong Kong are naturally very clear about the recent ups and downs of Hong Kong's economic circle, various rumors and rumors. Combined with the abnormal appearance of Newbie Jian at Jardine Building, it is normal to guess the facts.
"Brother Wang, can't it be??? I've been calling for withdrawals for many years. Besides, who can take over such a large plate as YIH?"
"The groundlessness may not be without cause. There are not many rich people, such as the mainland boss Ji who has been popular recently..."
Various arguments around him were filled with different sizes of Ji Mingjie's auricles. His name was raised by people with various accents at high frequency. Ji Mingjie suddenly felt very upset...
This is all I do, I am now kept in the dark and I have no idea about it!!!
Ji Mingjie wanted to jump onto the rostrum and picked up Mike and shouted at these ignorant reporters. Suddenly, a premonition that the situation was completely beyond control began to emerge in Ji Mingjie's heart.
He tried his best to turn around and wait and see. Ji Mingjie tried to find the traces of Qilian Mountain in the venue. Ji Mingjie, who knew the recent economic situation in Hong Kong, understood that if there were any changes in Jardinet Group, it would have a great relationship with Tang Wan and Qilian Mountain.
"... Although under the leadership of the Caesar family, Jardine Mahjong Group has been rooted in Hong Kong for more than 150 years, there is no banquet that will last forever. After enduring the almost bone-bone heartache, after a long and long period of calm thinking, Mr. Simon Caesar made an extremely difficult decision to transfer the shares of Jardine Mahjong Group owned by the Caesar family to those who are more suitable for the development of Jardine Mahjong Group..."
As soon as Maria Kelly finished speaking, the scene of the press conference was suddenly in chaos.
Chinese, English, male, female, and various accents were flooding with voices to Maria Kelly.
After gathering his five fingers and writing his fist, Mariah Carey knocked the table several times, and the noise in the small hall slowly subsided.
“Many questions from the journalists and friends here will be answered in the second half of the press release.”
Maria Carey picked up the gray cover and shook it at the group of reporters in front of her a few times. (To be continued.)
