Rebirth of the great hero of Hong Kong

Chapter 285 Chapter 284: Old Resentment

Under the pressure of the words of the two, Shen Bi quickly raised his hand to beg for forgiveness, and changed the topic to the horse club: "Yachts and golf are not worth mentioning in front of horse racing."

"Compared again and again, I still like horses more, and I like his chic posture."

"I am going to cooperate with Lin Sheng. I plan to spend three to five years looking for a high-quality racehorse at a reasonable price and buy it together."

"Find the best horse trainer, train it for a few months, and then let it participate in the Hong Kong Cup Competition held by the Hong Kong Jockey Club!"

Shen Bi is also a horse lover, as long as the topic is on the horse, it will touch his itch and make him dance happily.

Jointly cultivating high-quality racing horses is not a temporary idea, but a project that the two have studied for a long time.

To become a business partner, you only need to have common interests.

But to be friends, you need a common topic.

The two of them took horse racing as a topic by coincidence, which is also a clever move, and cooperation can win-win.

Shen Bi took a few puffs of the cigar, put it in her special cigar ashtray, and said in a joking tone: "Actually, I don't need to win the championship."

"Racing horses should gallop on grasslands, not on the sandy soil of the Jockey Club. This is a kind of defilement."

"But I just need this proud elf to help me with one trivial thing, and then I can set him free."

"Jardin Taipan's Light of Hope is really too arrogant."

"I hate that horse, and the people behind it, they are discrediting the glory of the British Empire."

"I heard that the light of hope is a well-deserved star of the Jockey Club. It has shamed people like HSBC who deliberately bought it and lost for several years."

"So, I think I should solve this farce myself, and it is safer to buy a horse to suppress it myself."

"It just needs to be done and I'll release him back to the prairie and be free again."

"This little wish, God listens to it, and will definitely grant it."

Jardine and HSBC, two enemies who do not give in to each other.

Wharf belongs to Jardine Matheson, and James Hua also belongs to the senior management of Jardine.

But when Shen Bi said these words, she didn't avoid Hua James.

The revolving door mechanism is a balancing mechanism created by Daiying when the East India Company dominated the world.

Aristocrats entered the East India Company and its foreign firms as supervisory directors for a term of five years, and after the term of office was up, they would be rotated.

The purpose of doing this is to ensure that the East India Company does not escape the control of the general meeting of shareholders.

The giant enterprise jointly funded by the nobles of Scotland and England, even the notorious Latin American emperor like United Fruit, is the younger brother in front of the East India Company.

The Taipan of the East India Company is really the uncrowned king of the whole Asia.

In Malaysia, Singapore, and India, they overthrew countless native governments. In India alone, there are 31 native kings who were sent away in written records.

The city-state lords under the earth king are even more innumerable.

Although in the later period, a number of bills were introduced to turn the East India Company into a rule-obedient institution of the royal family.

But it still has its own relatively large freedom and responsibility in order to obtain stable expansion and consolidation.

Having established a mutual trust with the royal family, the company continued to expand its territory through threats and inducements.

By the middle of the 19th century it ruled most of India, Burma, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong.

One-fifth of the world's population is ruled by it.

But everyone has glory, don't take everything as forever.

The East India Company scraped the land too hard in India, causing chaos. Whitehall, which had long been unhappy with it, dismantled it directly.

In the history of mankind, it has accomplished tasks that no company has ever undertaken, and may not undertake in future history.

This is the pertinent evaluation issued by The Times when the East India Company was dissolved.

The shareholders and executives established the East India Society in the city of London, which still exists today.

Both Jardine and HSBC are members of the East India Society.

In other words, they stayed in Asia, a mini version of the East India Company.

It's just that these two foreign firms are all planning to change from chess pieces to chess players.

Hua James laughed loudly: "Actually speaking, the small grievances between HSBC and Jardine a hundred years ago have nothing to do with us today."

"But it's so strange. I first joined HSBC. After staying in it for a long time, it seems that I naturally began to find the name Jardine very annoying to me."

"Friends who share the same mission as me have the same reaction to the word HSBC as I do to the word Jardine."

"How strange!"

"This is also the reason why I entered Wharf instead of Jardine's headquarters."

Lin Huaile has long heard of the grievances and grievances between Jardine and HSBC for nearly a century.

But if James Hua hadn't mentioned it, he really didn't know that there were so many interesting things that happened between these two behemoths.

HSBC and Jardine House, two behemoths, have deep grievances.

Although Jardine now has a board seat on HSBC's board of directors, the two parties look like a combination of interests.

However, these two combinations, the filth that has been born behind the glamorous surface for a century, makes the employees of the two companies talk about it more than the superficial respect for each other.

A hundred years ago, in the early days of HSBC, Jardine Matheson was already one of the five largest trading houses of the British Empire in the Far East.

According to the practice at the time, HSBC invited major foreign firms to invest in HSBC, and only interests can bind everyone together.

However, Jardine Matheson was the first to jump out and express its refusal. When HSBC Bank applied for a business license, Jardine Matheson was also the first to object, even fiercely.

From No. [-] Downing Street in London to the Governor's Mansion in Victoria Peak, there are Jardine lobbyists in almost every department, arranging obstacles for the establishment of HSBC.

The most fundamental reason is the uneven distribution of benefits!
Jardine is responsible for the exchange business in Asia.

The old Jardine Matheson Bank refused to take a stake in HSBC just because it was unwilling to give up its lucrative international exchange and loan business.

Jardine was the first to connect with banks in the Mainland, so it is naturally unwilling to voluntarily give up its banking business, which has grown to the point where most banks and banks have grown.

This was also a manifestation of the intensification of the conflict between Dayan Bank and specialized banks at that time.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Jardine made a fierce move in the process of HSBC's application for a business license.

Drugs and international remittance business have given Jardine a taste of the sweetness.

It was fat in one's own bowl, but now it has become food in other people's bowls, how can one swallow this breath.

For HSBC to be formally established, the Governor's Office of Xiangjiang must issue a charter order, complete registration in Xiangjiang, and obtain approval from Whitehall.

Yihe has set up obstacles everywhere it can see.

Just don't want HSBC Ruyi!
　Ah Xian wishes everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance!
　　Goodnight everybody!
