Chapter 465【Land Drink Milk One】

At the end of October, Wu Guangyao returned to Hong Kong Island.

Deep Water Bay Villa 79

Lin Yueru came to the dressing room for twenty years and began to help Wu Guangyao tidy up the corners of his clothes, take care of his hair and other image projects.

Lin Yueru looked at Wu Guangyao’s face and said, “Many friends say that you have been living at the age of 30!”

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "I was only 39 years old, but I'm not even 40 years old!"

Lin Yueru tidyed Wu Guangyao's clothes and hair, and said: "When you were young, you asked me to help you design your image at the age of 30. If you do business like this, others will not have an illusion; I have found that you still It’s a thirty-year-old face, and it looks like ten years younger. I’m really afraid that in ten years, you will still be thirty-year-old, and I’m an old woman, I’m afraid it’s embarrassing to go out together!"

Wu Guangyao was taken aback, unexpectedly Lin Yueru became sentimental, hurriedly embraced her with her hands, and said affectionately: “It’s a coincidence that many of my friends say that you are only thirty years old, and you are still ashamed and beautiful as a flower.”

Lin Yueru was really happy when she heard it, and said softly, “Well, I’m afraid they said that I look like I am in my thirties. You deliberately took out the word ‘few’ to coax me.”

Lin Yueru is also very confident. Although she is 42 years old this year, others praise her for being well maintained. She looks like a woman in her thirties.

Although Wu Guangyao admitted in his heart, he said: "If you say you are ten years younger, then you are only 32 years old! The secret of youth is a good mentality, so let us relax and don’t care about irreversible things. We have been married for twenty years. , You should understand my intentions."

The middle-aged couple walked out of the locker room for a while.

At 8:30, Wu Guangyao came to the Yangtze River Building on Queen’s Road;

At this time, you don’t need to squeeze the elevator. As a boss, it is naturally a very wise choice.

Shortly after sitting down, Shi Jun came to Wu Guangyao's office.

"Boss, Henry Keswick succeeded his father John Keswick to become the chairman of Jardine Matheson and Land Land Dapan, and Niu Bijian became executive director and general manager." Shi Jun just sat down and said.

"Hey, Old John, don't worry!" Wu Guangyao couldn't help but said.

The reason Wu Guangyao sighs is actually that Henry Keswick took over his father’s position more than a year earlier;

Could it be that John Keswick has chosen to retire early because of the appearance of Wu Guangyao over the years?

"Henry Keswick is a very powerful man. I have dealt with him several times, and I feel that he is very powerful and capable!" Shi Jun commented.

Wu Guangyao nodded, he did not deny this!

In his previous life, Henry Keswick did a lot of great things when he was in Yihe.

For example, when Land Land annexed Dairy Company, it did not cost a penny to annex a large company;

For example, set off an upsurge in the reconstruction of commercial buildings in the Central District, renovating all the old buildings in the heart of the Central District of the Land Department, and connecting them together through a pedestrian bridge;

Later, in 1975, Henry Keswick returned to London to take up politics, and only then did he hand over the power to senior wage earners, Niubijian.

But this life!

Let him go back to London in a desperate manner!

Wu Guangyao has decided that once the Land Company initiates a ‘hostile takeover’ of Dairy Company;

So even if the British company sets a precedent, there is no need to hide it!

Wharf, Qingzhou Yingni, Hong Kong Tram.

These British-owned companies with a large amount of land, just catch them all in one go!

As for Hutchison Holdings, Wu Guangyao intends to take over directly from HSBC in three or four years, and HSBC will not refuse it!

The reason why Wu Guangyao dared to directly acquire these British-funded companies now is because his strength has been full of wings and he has mastered the public opinion and public opinion of Hong Kong Island;

In addition, after years of observation, Wu Guangyao found that the previous Hong Kong government has been pursuing the ‘active non-intervention policy’;

means that the Hong Kong government has always stood idly by on the commercial competition between ‘British-to-British’, ‘British-to-China’, and ‘China-to-China’.

Because of this, Wu Guangyao calculated that as long as it is not ‘malicious competition’, there is absolutely no reason for the Hong Kong government to intervene in commercial activities.

Land Company is a long-established British-owned real estate company founded in 1889 and was the largest registered company in the port at that time;

The founders of   Land were Chater and Keswick, and Chater spared no effort to promote the implementation of his reclamation plan by the Hong Kong government at that time;

The Hong Kong government has reclaimed the sea on a large scale on the island, and the Land Company has made the most profit and has gradually become the land king of the Central District;

After Chater's death, the land was annexed by Jardine Matheson.

Henry Keswick was sitting in the office of the LANDMARK EMPLOYER enthusiastically, but he was calculating in his heart, how to prove himself;

Huaxia people have an old saying-three fires when new officials take office!

The development of Land has entered a bottleneck. If you lead Land to break through the bottleneck, your prestige will definitely be established!

The bottleneck of Hongkong Land is that the headquarters of Hongkong Land has always been Central;

For a long time, Central has been the heart of Hong Kong’s business and economic activities. Its pulse represents the power and vitality of Hong Kong’s overall society, and is a symbol of Hong Kong’s prosperity;

However, the properties in Central are already saturated. If Land Land wants to develop properties, it must develop outwards;

At this time, the second commercial district on Hong Kong Island has begun to move to Causeway Bay;

The   Undersea Tunnel will be completed in one and a half years, and Causeway Bay will be on the rise.

Henry Keswick, like a hunter, started looking for prey;

Soon, the milk company came to his mind!

"Milk Company was originally a company of our British people, but now it has become a Chinese company. By doing this, I can be regarded as taking back the assets belonging to our British people!" Henry Keswick said to himself.

It turned out that the history of the Milk Company dates back to 1844. American businessman Dudu opened an ice factory (ice warehouse) on Ice Factory Street. Gradually, the properties of the ice factory include Ice Factory Street Ice Factory, Chunyuan Street Ice Factory, and Causeway Bay Ice Factory. ;

In 1886, a company that had nothing to do with the snow factory, the Dairy Company, appeared on Hong Kong Island. Dr. Winson of the United Kingdom set up a cattle farm on the deserted slopes of Causeway Bay; in 1890, the Dairy Company opened a second cattle farm in Pokfulam. Fields and farms.

In 1918, the ice factory and the milk company merged to form a new company, the Milk Ice Factory Co., Ltd., until the appearance of the refrigerator, the ice production also shrank, and the company became a milk company.

Therefore, it is not a mistake to say that the Dairy Company is a British-owned company!

But, like this old Hong Kong Island enterprise, after a hundred years of changes, the shares have already been diluted;

Zhou Xinian became a shareholder of Dairy Company and became a major shareholder, which is also a smooth matter;

Zhou Xinian is a two-term political celebrity of the Governor of Hong Kong. Naturally, many large companies make him a director. This is the consistent style of Hong Kong enterprises;

After Zhou Xinian became a director of the Dairy Company, he focused on acquiring the shares of the Dairy Company, and gradually became a major shareholder, and smoothly became the chairman of the board of directors;

As the saying goes, "the water does not surprise the fish and the fish do not jump", it is not like the acquisition battle in the previous life, which is shocking.

Henry Keswick found someone to collect information about the milk company, and look it up carefully!

"Causeway Bay has become a Vaughan city, but the dairy company is raising cattle and milking in Vaughan; Pokfulam is also very good. It will be developed sooner or later, and land prices will surely soar."

As the saying goes, seeing the heart of the hunt is happy, describing the mood of Henry Keswick on this matter,

Looking at the milk company's information, Henry Keswick’s smile never stopped, just like the British found the New World.

However, Henry Keswick soon thought of something!

Although Land is strong, it is not easy to want to swallow the milk company in one bite;

Because the milk company has 2,000 employees and has a market value of 350 million Hong Kong dollars;

What's more, although the chairman of Dairy Company Zhou Xinian was frustrated in officialdom, his foundation on Hong Kong Island is still very strong.

"It's best to be able to acquire peacefully. Even if there is a bit of'hostile takeover', I need to keep Zhou Xinian as chairman to express that I am really thinking about shareholders!" Henry Keswick muttered to himself in the office. Said.
