In the headquarters of Jardine Matheson Group, Nui Bijian quickly received this important news.
When he first heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief, and he was filled with doubts.
"How is it possible?" He muttered to himself, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
In his heart, Yihe is like a solid fortress, how could it change hands so easily?
But then, reason told him that Su City's strong financial strength and the press conference held not long ago were facts that could not be ignored.
These signals strongly suggest that everything is settled.
So, he decided to take action and contact Su City directly to verify in person whether all this was true.
At this critical moment, only the answer obtained from Su Cheng himself can make him completely relieved or accept the reality.
After repeated discussions with team members and even other shareholders of Jardine Matheson to no avail, Tui Bijian realized that no amount of discussion could change the status quo.
So, he took decisive action and dialed Su City directly.
At this time, less than ten minutes had passed since the press conference announcing the power change in Suzhou City, and the residual warmth of the press conference seemed to still linger in the air.
When the bodyguard handed him the mobile phone and the simple display screen of the mobile phone flashed Gui Bijian's number, Su Cheng couldn't help but smile.
"It seems that he has indeed come to the door." Su Cheng thought to himself.
"Mr. Su, is the news you just announced accurate?" After the call was connected, there was still a subtle tremor in Tui Bijian's voice, revealing his inner fear. believe.
"Mr. Nie Bijian, I, Su Cheng, never say unfounded words. You should still be in the company at this moment, right? Just in time, I also plan to go over and interview you in person about my takeover of Jardine Matheson and Land Holdings. Regarding the follow-up matters, please wait a moment, I will be there soon," Su Cheng replied with a smile.
On the other end of the phone, Nui Bijian was silent for a long time, as if even his breathing became heavy.
He knew very well that this phone call meant the changes he was about to face - he would no longer sit firmly on the throne of Jardine Taipan. This feeling of loss of power and identity made him unspeakable for a moment.
Su Cheng did not wait for Tui Bijian's response. He understood the other party's complicated emotions and there was no need to say anything.
After hanging up the phone, he led his team and drove to the headquarters of Jardine Matheson Group to prepare for this important meeting with Nie Bijian related to the future of the company.
Half an hour later, Su Cheng and Wei Li walked into the lobby of the Jardine Group headquarters together.
According to Su City's careful arrangements, the Land Group was temporarily handed over to the Su Group for takeover, while the operations of Jardine Matheson were temporarily transferred to the Hutchison Whampoa Group.
Before entering the office of Chairman Jardine Matheson, Su Cheng and Wei Li exchanged a tacit look of understanding. They knew that the following meeting would be the key to determining the future direction of Jardine Matheson Group.
In the office, Tui Bijian did not stand up to greet him. He sat quietly behind his desk, staring at the door, waiting for Su Cheng's arrival.
There is a subtle tension in the air.
While coming to Su City, he had already called Simon Keswick, the head of the Keswick family, and informed him of the emergency here.
However, none of this was of any use.
The Keswick family only holds a dozen or so shares in Jardine. Even with other shareholders, the Keswick family only holds more than 30 shares.
And Su Cheng himself has more than 20 points of equity, plus the equity of Jardine Held controlled by Land, how can he resist?
At this moment, Simon Keswick, who is far away in the UK, probably regrets most that he agreed to the mutual support plan between Jardine Matheson and Land.
With this plan, he not only lost control of Land, he also lost control of Jardine.
If there is no mutual support plan, at most he will lose the Land Group, and at least he will still have the Jardine Matheson Group under his control.
However, no matter how much you say now, it is useless, things have already happened.
Originally, Simon Keswick had already planned to remove Twisted Bijian from power and then come to power himself.
But now, Niu Bijian may indeed step down, but he has no chance to take over Jardine Land.
Looking back to Xiangjiang, Su Cheng stepped into Nui Bijian's office, and Nui Bijian stood up.
"Mr. Nie Bijian, this is my holding certificate, you can check it." Su Cheng smiled and handed several documents to Nie Bijian.
At this moment, Zui Bijian had no expression on his face.
He has been the chief executive of Jardine Matheson Group for many years, and has long been accustomed to his status as a business tycoon in Xiangjiang.
In Jardine Matheson and Land, his words mean everything. Even the major shareholders of Jardine Matheson cannot criticize him.
So, when Sioux City did not interfere with Jardine Land, there was actually internal fighting within Jardine.
The two parties are Nie Bijian, the chief executive of Jardine, and the Keswick family, Jardine's largest shareholder.
If Sioux City had not taken over Jardine, then in the end Niibijian would have been ousted by the Keswick family due to the real estate crisis that caused the Land Group to suffer serious losses. In the end, Simon Keswick succeeded in taking over. The location became Jardine Taipan and Landmark Taipan.
Unfortunately, everything in this world has changed, and Simon Keswick obviously does not have this opportunity.
Putting down the information in his hand, Tui Bijian sighed. He knew that the situation was over and there was no way to save it.
"Mr. Su, how do you want to treat me, just ask me to step down?" Suddenly, Nuan Bijian seemed to see hope and came to Su Cheng.
"If you let me continue to be the chief executive of Jardine He, I will definitely obey your orders. I have been the chief executive of Jardine He Group for many years and am in charge of all matters of Jardine He Group. No one knows Jardine He better than me. Mr. Su, I think I am the only one who is most suitable for the position of executive director at Jardine!
Mr. Su should be able to see my performance in Jardine over the years. Under my management, Jardine and Land Both the market value and the stock price have increased significantly. If Mr. Su continues to leave Jardine to me to manage, I will definitely not let you down!" After saying this, Tui Bijian looked at Su with hopeful eyes. city.
Because at this moment Nui Bijian suddenly thought that Su Cheng’s favorite thing was to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and he liked to leave the company and group affairs to professional managers.
And he is stubborn, isn’t he just a professional manager?
It doesn't seem to matter to him who the shareholder of Jardine becomes. He is not a shareholder of Jardine, he is just a professional manager.
Thinking of this, the previous low mood seemed to have improved a lot.
So, at this time, he could only place his hope on Su Cheng.
Although after Su Cheng becomes the actual controlling shareholder, if he can continue to serve as the chief executive of Jardine He, it means that there is someone above him who can control him. But what does this mean?
He is still the Taipan of Yihe who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, so he is satisfied.
After having been in charge of the Jardine Matheson Group for so many years, Tui Bijian was really unwilling to be suddenly ousted.
Su Cheng did not expect that Tui Bijian would have such an idea.
At this moment, he did not answer Zui Bijian. Instead, he pulled out the chair next to him and sat down.
Nuan Bijian has managed Jardine for many years and has great authority in Jardine. It would be inappropriate to oust him now.
In another world, after Li Ka-shing took control of Hutchison Whampoa, it took a long time before he finally ousted Wei Li and made himself the boss of Hutchison Whampoa.
This is because giant companies like Hutchison Whampoa and Jardine Matheson must have a transition period even if they take over.
Killing his predecessor out of office at once would also be a problem for taking over the management of Jardine.
It is better to let Twisted Bijian and Bao Fuda sit in this position temporarily, and at the same time continue to insert their own chess pieces. When they can almost completely control Jardine and Land, then Twisted Bijian and Bao Fuda, the two original The person in charge was ousted and eventually took over Jardine and Land.
Thinking of this, Su Cheng had an idea.
At the same time, the purpose of obeying Tuibijian first is to better take over Jardine Matheson and Land, so that he can have smooth access to these two giant British-owned companies.
Otherwise, Nui Bijian might make various tricks and cause him heavy losses, which Su Cheng didn't want to see.
After all, whether it is Jardine Matheson or Land, the assets they control are too large. If Twi Bijian just leaves it alone, everything will not be handed over, and the new person in charge will have no idea about the company. Water, in fact, this is irresponsible to the two groups.
"Mr. Nie Bijian, it is not impossible for me to consider the matter of you continuing to take charge of the Jardine Group. Of course, if this is the case, the position of Jardine's top class can only be held by me. After all, I have already Now that we have a controlling stake in Jardine, it is impossible for us to relinquish our status as Taipan to you.
As for you, I strongly believe that your ability and management experience are crucial to Jardine, so I propose that you serve as vice chairman and president. Manager, responsible for the specific operations, and continue to be in charge of the management of Jardine Matheson Group. You know, I prefer to play a role at a strategic level rather than being mired in the trivialities of day-to-day management, so this proposal is more of a nominal thing to me.
At the same time, in order to ensure the stability and development of the company, I will introduce some new faces to the senior management of Jardine and Land to strengthen the team and safeguard my interests.
After all, any investment requires a long-term vision and appropriate monitoring mechanisms. I believe that such an arrangement will allow you to continue to develop your strengths while protecting my overall interests in the company.
If you can accept this arrangement, I am very happy to see Jardine continue to develop under your steady helm. After all, our goals are the same, which is to make Jardine more prosperous. "Lin Haoran smiled.
"Of course, Mr. Su, I completely agree with your proposal. "When Zui Bijian heard this, his heart dropped to the ground, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
He didn't expect that his expedient plan could make Su Cheng nod so smoothly and save his life in Yi. and the core position of the Group
“I am very honored to be the Vice Chairman and General Manager of Jardine under the leadership of Mr. Su, and I believe that under your strategic guidance, combined with my practical operational experience. , Yihe will surely usher in a more brilliant tomorrow. "Nuan Bijian's words seemed to be full of confidence and longing for the future.
Of course, Su Cheng didn't believe what he said. Nui Bijian was also an old fox in the business world. How could he give in so easily?
But no matter what, now that Jardine Group and Land Group are in his hands, no matter how hard the old fox Nui Bijian struggles, it has no meaning.
"In that case, Mr. Nie Bijian, then prepare yourself. Tomorrow morning, Jardine will hold a press conference to announce the matter. In addition, I will also send people to take over the senior management of Jardine and Land. , you will cooperate when the time comes," Su Cheng said directly.
At this moment, the identities between Nui Bijian and Su Cheng have completely changed.
Originally, although Su Cheng was the richest man in the world, in Xiangjiang, Nie Bijian and Su Cheng were on the same level. They were both big businessmen in Xiangjiang.
But now, his identity has completely changed. Although Tui Bijian is still a business tycoon, he has become Su Cheng's subordinate and is no longer on the same level as Su Cheng.
"Okay, Mr. Su, no, I will call you boss from now on. Boss, I will go make arrangements right away. I will never let you down!" Tui Bijian said respectfully.
Su Cheng did not expect that the Yihe executive in front of him, who was used to the status of a big boss, could actually bend and stretch, and could lower his arrogant head so easily. He did not expect that.
This is not like the Twisted Wall Jian in his impression.
In his impression, Nui Bijian always liked to act condescending, and even in front of Shen Bi, he had no respectful attitude at all.
What Su Cheng didn't know was that as the expiration date of his term was getting closer, Nui Bijian was already planning how to continue to be re-elected for the next term.
But later he learned that Simon Keswick had the ambition to succeed him, so since last year, he has actually begun to fight openly and secretly with Simon Keswick.
What I didn’t expect was that before the outcome was determined, Jardine was captured by others.
In other words, Simon Keswick will never have the chance to take over Jardine Matheson.
“Speaking of which, doesn’t this mean that I have won this competition?” Nui Bijian could only comfort himself with this.
After the discussion, Su Cheng had no plans to forcefully take over Yihe.
Originally, everyone else brought them, but this time in addition to him, there was also Wei Li, the president of Hutchison Whampoa Group, and his temporary takeover team.
Even for the Su Group, Yang Chaoye has formed a temporary takeover team. Once the takeover of Su City goes smoothly, Yang Chaoye will immediately take action.
But, now it seems that there is no need to do this for the time being.
A peaceful takeover is exactly what he is after.
As for Land, Su Cheng believed that Nie Bijian would convince Bao Fuda.
After all, although Bao Fuda is the executive director of Land, he always obeys Nie Bijian's arrangements when it comes to big things.
This time, I think there is no problem.
Thus, this takeover farce ended in a harmonious atmosphere.
Although Su City has announced the matter to the media today, it must have been announced unilaterally by Su City itself.
The news released by Jardine Land is different, this is official.
Once it is officially announced that Sioux City will take over the Jardine Matheson Group and the Land Group, it will truly be justified. (End of this chapter)
