The journey starts from the Titanic

"what?"

Old Kadoorie couldn't calm down. He looked at Situ Nan in disbelief, his mouth opened wide, and a pair of shrewd eyes protruded, a bit like dead fish eyes.

Well, there is still some disappointment in my eyes!

Chapter 86 The Kadoorie Family and China Power Company Continued

Old Kadoorie looked at Situ Nan in surprise, feeling teased.Just now, Situ Nan said that he wanted to invest in China Light and Power Company, and within two minutes, he said that Meihua had already controlled the China Light and Power Company.

Old Kadao was a little confused about the truth and the false, but he felt bad in his heart.Because the strange young man who appeared before him completely disrupted his plan.

"Are you true?" Old Kadoorie took a deep breath, staring at Situ Nan with sharp eyes like an eagle.

"Yes! In the morning, when you came, we received news from Hong Kong that the British-owned Qichang Insurance Company was facing a serious financial crisis and had to accept the investment of American and Chinese Bank. Now American and Chinese Bank has become the flag Chang Insurance Company’s largest shareholder, which means that Meihua is now the largest shareholder of China Power Company. I wonder if Mr. Kadoorie is satisfied with this explanation?"

Situ Nan put his hands on his chest and looked at Kadoorie and his son with a smile.In addition to Guangdong, Hong Kong is also the investment focus of the US-China Consortium.

Although Hong Kong does not yet have the prestige of the four Asian little dragons in a century, compared to the turbulent mainland, Hong Kong's situation is much more stable and investment will be guaranteed.

The US-China Consortium not only sees the shipping and banking industries, but also has great interest in insurance business.Holding a British-owned insurance company with a certain history is most suitable for Meihua to expand its influence in Hong Kong. Why not?

Old Kadoori was a little discouraged. Before that, he knew that Qichang Insurance Company was in trouble. He wanted to simply finish the work of the Guangzhou Power Plant and withdraw the funds to Hong Kong to buy shares of China Power Company from Qichang Insurance Company.

Now that we see Meihua Company with strong financial resources and Situ Nan's keen interest in China Power Company, the old Kadoorie realized that he was a step late, and he wanted to buy shares of China Power Company from Qichang Insurance Company.

"It's really not as good as the sky!" Old Kadoorie said a rare sentence in Chinese.

He breathed out the sullen air in his heart with difficulty, a little disappointed, but quickly adjusted his emotions, still maintained a polite appearance, and smiled: "Congratulations to your company for successfully controlling Qichang Insurance Company. I want to use your company's strength , Hong Kong’s insurance and financial industry will have another strong player."

"Thank you!" Situ Nan was also hypocritical, and generously accepted old Kadoorie's congratulations.Although the other party may be a little bit sour, the decisive and refreshing style of old Kadoorie made Situ Nan secretly sponsored.

This old Kadoorie may not know that the US-China Consortium not only acquired the British-owned Qichang Insurance Company, but also the largest two of the Hong Kong Chinese-owned banks-Guangdong Bank and Commercial Savings Bank. At the same time, the Southern Star Shipping Company is stabilizing Guangzhou. The business of the company will also enter the Hong Kong shipping market, and Johnson & Johnson will squeeze into the Hong Kong market in terms of finance, trade and shipping.

The American Chinese Consortium’s competitors will be foreign firms such as Jardine Matheson and Swire, which are one floor higher than the Kadoorie family.

The quick and decisive takeover of Qichang Insurance Company this time is for fear of causing other British capital to counterattack, so we must take a quick and thunderous trend. Even the Kadoorie family who has been paying attention to Qichang Insurance Company has no time to react, even CLP Power. The company was also acquired by Meihua through Qichang Insurance Company.

Meihua paid a great price.Situ Nan did not want to show off, let alone complacent. Compared with the electricity market in the United States, Hong Kong's electricity market is not worthy of Situ Nan's excitement.

But he still values ​​the Kadoorie family more.After all, the Kadoorie family can be so successful in Hong Kong and Shanghai, it is naturally worthy of the target.

Meihua can naturally gain a foothold in Hong Kong, but if it wants to further expand its development and become more competitive with British capital such as Jardine and HSBC, in addition to continuing to operate the line of Chinese capital, it must also absorb the Jewish family of Kadoorie.

After seeing the old Kadoorie gradually accepting the facts, Situ Nan said: "Today I specially invited Mr. Kadoorie to Guangzhou. It is not only about the Guangzhou Electric Power Plant, but also because I want to know you, Mr. Kadoorie. I think, In terms of electricity and energy, we will have many topics."

Kadoorie nodded, and after being caught off guard by Situ Nan, he slowly recovered his confidence."I have always been optimistic about the electricity market. Just like the steam engine a hundred years ago, electricity will gradually replace steam power. In the future, all aspects of society will be inseparable from electricity. The potential of electricity, electrical, electrical appliances and other industries will be endless. ."

Old Kadoorie's eyes flickered, and he seemed a little excited. "I just made the first money from stock trading and invested it in the power plant. I opened the first power plant in Crane Street. Later, I invested in China Power Corporation. , Guangzhou Power Plant and many other power plants. It’s just a pity that Guangzhou Power Plant’s investment has lost. When I was trying to make China Power Company bigger and stronger, it is now in your hands. You are what I have seen The most powerful young man!"

Old Kadoorie said frankly, looking at Situ Nan with some appreciation.He felt that Situ Nan had a similar vision and shrewd investment, and he was even more Jewish than himself.

"Guangzhou Electric Power Plant will soon turn a profit, and China Power Corporation will usher in more development opportunities. Mr. Kadoorie, since we have the same vision and are optimistic about the power market in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, why not cooperate? Hua really needs you as a shrewd and powerful partner!" Situ Nan smiled, looking at Old Kadoorie sincerely.I have done so much preparation for this sentence.

"Cooperation? How to cooperate?"

The old Kadoorie was obviously very interested in what Situ Nan said. He raised his eyes and stared at Situ Nan for three seconds. There was a strange feeling in his heart, as if Situ Nan would always have unfinished cards in his hand.

"It's very simple! Meihua is going to separate its electric power department and set up a power holding company to include the China Power Company, Guangzhou Electric Power Plant, and new power plants under construction in this company. It will It is the largest power company in southern China!"

Situ Nan squeezed his fists vigorously, paused, and approached the eyes of old Kadoorie, and said, "Would you like such a company to be born in your hands?"

"what do you mean……"

The old Kadoorie was overjoyed and couldn't wait to agree to Situ Nan immediately.He has always had this dream of being the largest power plant in Hong Kong. Now it seems not only to be realized, but also a little bigger than his dream?

Facing old Kadoorie's inquisitive gaze, Situ Nan nodded, and the other party's excited expression fell into his eyes.

After a while, Kadoorie slowly calmed down and calmed down.

"Why me?" Old Kadoorie asked.

"Because I am optimistic about you! You are the person I am looking for!" Situ Nan stretched out his finger and pointed directly at Old Kadoorie's chest.

Seeing that the old Kadoorie still has some concerns, Situ Nan explained: "You have vision, experience, and execution ability that we need. I have met many Jews. They are shrewd businessmen and even conspirators who manipulate the international situation. It’s undeniable that they are sometimes the best partners. And I just saw this in you."

While the old Kadoorie hadn't reacted yet, Situ Nan said again: "In addition to commercial success, I not only appreciate the Kadoorie family's contribution to charity, but also your help for the poor Jews scattered around the world. To tell you the truth, I have also worked with the Jewish leader Haim? Weizmann!"

"Huh?" Old Kadoorie was shocked!With countless question marks in his heart, he instinctively told him: This Situ Nan's tone is really loud, but he doesn't seem to be lying. He certainly doesn't look like an ordinary businessman, but he knows the Jewish financiers who manipulate the international situation?Talk to the Jewish leader Haim?Has Weitzman worked together?

These people are far beyond the Kadoorie family. Although the Kadoorie family has considerable influence in Hong Kong and Shanghai, there are still many people in the world that the Kadoorie family look up to!

Haim?Wei Ciman is one of them!Not only a well-known scientist, but also a leader of a Jewish organization, he has close relations with high-level British and American leaders, and has always been a person respected by the old Kadoorie!As a former Jewish aristocrat who was taken captive by Arabs to Iraq and then came to the Far East from Iraq, the Kadoorie family has always dreamed of and paid attention to Jewish affairs. Not only did it provide large amounts of funding to the Jews in the Middle East, but also established a foundation. Specially to provide assistance to Jews in China who lack funds.

It can be said that the Kadoorie family is also the kind of hardcore Jews in the eyes of Situ Nan!

Not many people know about the Kadoorie family involved in Jewish affairs. This Situ Nan knows so clearly that it should obviously be a stronger existence than the Kadoorie family, and from Situ Nan’s tone, it seems that no one else discriminates against the Jews?

The old Kadoorie made up his mind secretly, no matter what, first maintain a cooperative relationship with the US-China Consortium.

"Although it is a little sudden and there are some doubts, the Kadoorie family also hopes to cooperate with Meihua Company." Old Kadoorie said.He knew that cooperating with Meihua Power Company would not harm his own interests.

Seeing the old Kadoorie let go, Situ Nan snickered inwardly, feeling like he had accepted another kid with good potential.

He believes that there is no need for too much arrogance. Under equal business cooperation and tied together with interests, such a little brother will definitely be very reliable.

Moreover, with the deepening of cooperation, in addition to the shopping malls, Meihua and the Kadoorie family have many places to cooperate.

"I believe that our cooperation is frank and happy! Our friendship will become deeper and deeper! Mr. Kadoorie, don't you think?" Situ Nan stepped forward to shake hands with the old Kadoorie.

"Yes. I think so." Old Kadoorie smiled openly.

Seeing Situ Nan's confident and skillful look, Old Kadoorie couldn't help but compare Situ Nan with his young son, Little Kadoorie, who was standing aside, and found that the gap was too big.

"Mr. Situ, really young and promising! Roland, you have to learn from him, this is your example!" Old Kadoorie told his son.

"Yes. If you have the opportunity, you must ask Mr. Situ for advice." Little Kadao said, a trace of unhappiness flashed through his eyes, and Situ Nan was clearly caught.

Situ Nan smiled slightly, and said in his heart: Although Xiao Ka Daoli is a bit young, he will definitely be a great person in the future.The Kadoorie family can continue to flourish after World War II. The family business China Light and Power Corporation later controlled most of the electricity supply in Hong Kong. It was also a masterpiece of Little Kadoorie, and the Daya Bay Power Plant also had little Kadoorie participation.

In short, this promising young man would be better if he could use it for himself.And young people are most eager for the affirmation of others. If you give Little Kadoorie a little attention, I believe it will not be too difficult for him to go with him.

Thinking of this, Situ Nan looked at Xiao Kadoori again, and the cracked smile on his lips became even brighter.

"It is said that Mr. Kadoorie graduated from Shanghai St. Paul University with a business degree. He is proficient in Chinese and English. I just lack an English secretary. I wonder if I can give in?"

Situ Nan smiled sincerely and looked at Little Kadoorie, but his eyes remained on Old Kadoorie.

Little Kadoorie was surprised at Situ Nan's request, but he didn't expect that Situ Nan seemed to know him well.
