Volume III Aftermath 86 The Kadoorie Family and CLP Power? continue

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

That sentence is true and that sentence is false, old Kadoorie is a little confused, but he faintly feels bad in his heart. Because the strange young man who appeared in front of him completely disrupted his plans.

"Are you telling the truth?" Old Kadoorie took a deep breath, his sharp eyes staring at Situ Nan like an eagle.

"That's right! In the morning, when you came, we received news from Hong Kong that the British-funded Qichang Insurance Company was facing a serious financial crisis and had to accept the investment of the American-Chinese Bank, and now the American-Chinese Bank has become the largest shareholder of the Qichang Insurance Company, which means that the Meihua is now also the major shareholder of the China Power Company. I don't know if Mr. Kadoorie is satisfied with this explanation? ”

After Situ Nan finished speaking, he clasped his hands in front of his chest and looked at Kadoorie father and son with a smile. In addition to Guangdong, Hong Kong is also the focus of investment by the US-China consortium.

Although Hong Kong does not yet have the prestige of the Asian Tigers a hundred years later, compared with the turbulent mainland, the situation in Hong Kong is much more stable, and investment will be guaranteed.

The US-China consortium not only sees the shipping and banking industries, but also has a lot of interest in the insurance business. Holding a British insurance company with a certain history is the best way for the United States to expand its influence in Hong Kong, so why not?

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

Now seeing the financially strong Meihua Company and Situ Nan's strong interest in CLP, the elder Kadoorie realizes that he is one step late, and wants to buy the shares of CLP Power from Qichang Insurance Company.

"It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven!" Old Kadoorie said a rare word in Chinese.

He exhaled the turbidity in his heart with difficulty, a little disappointed, but quickly adjusted his feelings, still maintained a polite appearance, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to your company for successfully controlling Qichang Insurance Company, I think with the strength of your company, Hong Kong's insurance and financial industry will have another powerful player." ”

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

This old Kadoorie may not know that the US-China consortium not only acquired the British-funded Qichang Insurance Company, but also acquired the two largest Chinese-funded banks in Hong Kong -- the Bank of Guangdong and the Commercial Savings Bank, and at the same time, the Southern Star Steamship Company will also enter the Hong Kong shipping market after stabilizing its business in Guangzhou, and will squeeze into the Hong Kong market in terms of finance, trade, and shipping.

The Meihua consortium's competitors will be Jardine Matheson, Swire and other foreign firms, which are one level higher than the Kadoorie family.

This time the quick and decisive takedown of Qichang Insurance Company is afraid of causing other British counterattacks, so it must take a thunderous momentum, even the Kadoorie family, which has been paying attention to Qichang Insurance Company, did not have time to react, and even China Power Company was also obtained a controlling stake by Meihuatong Guò Qichang Insurance Company.

Meihua paid a lot of price. Situ Nan did not want to show off, let alone be complacent, Hong Kong's electricity market is not worth too much excitement compared to the US electricity market.

However, he still values the Kadoorie family more. After all, the Kadoorie family can be so successful in Hong Kong and Shanghai, so it is naturally worth wooing.

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

After seeing that old Kadoorie gradually accepted the facts, Situ Nan said: "I specially invited Mr. Kadoorie to come to Guangzhou today, not only about the Guangzhou Electric Power Plant, but also because I want to know you, Mr. Kadoorie. I think we're going to have a lot of topics when it comes to electric energy. ”

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

Old Kadoorie's eyes flashed and he looked a little excited, "I just made my first money from stock trading and invested it in the power plant and opened the first power plant in Crane Street. Later, it successively invested in many power plants such as China Power Company and Guangzhou Electric Power Plant. It's just a pity that the investment in Guangzhou Power Plant has been lost, and when I was trying to make China Power Company bigger and stronger, it is now in your hands. You're the best young man I've ever met! ”

Old Kadoorie said calmly, and glanced at Situ Nan with some appreciation. He felt that Situ Nan had similar visions to himself, invested shrewdly, and was more Jewish than himself.

"The Guangzhou power plant will soon be a profit, and China Power will usher in more development opportunities. Mr. Kadoorie, since we have the same vision and are optimistic about the electricity market in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, why not cooperate? Meihua needs you very much as a shrewd and powerful partner! Situ Nan smiled and looked at old Kadoorie sincerely. I did so much preparation before, all for this sentence.

"Cooperation? How to cooperate? ”

Old Kadoorie was obviously very interested in Situ Nan's words, and stared at Situ Nan for three seconds with raised eyes, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, as if Situ Nan would never finish playing cards in his hand.

"It's easy! Meihua plans to spin off its power division and set up a power holding company, including CLP, Guangzhou Power Plant, and new power plants under construction. It will be the largest power company in southern China! ”

Situ Nan clenched his fist vigorously, paused, and looked into the eyes of old Kadoorie, and said, "Are you willing to be born in your hands with such a company?" ”

"What do you mean ??????"

Old Kadoorie was overjoyed and couldn't wait to agree to Situ Nan immediately. He has always had such a dream, to be the largest power plant in Hong Kong, and now it seems that it is not only about to come true, but also a little bigger than his dream?

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

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

"Why me?" Old Kadoorie asked.

"Because I'm optimistic about you! You're the one I'm looking for! Situ Nan stretched out his finger and pointed it directly at the chest of old Kadoorie.

Seeing that old Kadoorie still had some concerns, Situ Nan explained: "You have vision, experience, and execution are all we need. I've seen a lot of Jews who are shrewd businessmen and even conspirators who manipulate the international situation, but there's no denying that they're sometimes the best partners. And I just see that in you. ”

Before the old Kadoorie could react, Situ Nan said: "In addition to the commercial success, I not only appreciate the Kadoorie family's contribution to charity, but also the help you have made to poor Jews scattered all over the world. To tell you the truth, I'm still with the Jewish leader Haim? Wei Ciman has cooperated! ”

"Huh?" Old Kadoorie was stunned! There were countless question marks in his heart, and his intuition told him: This Situ Nan is really angry, but it doesn't seem like he is lying, he certainly doesn't look like an ordinary businessman, and he actually knows a Jewish financier who manipulates the international situation? Still with the Jewish leader Haim? Did Wei Czman work with?

These people are far beyond the Kadoorie family, although the Kadoorie family also has a lot of influence in Hong Kong and Shanghai, but there are still many people in this world who are worthy of the Kadoorie family's admiration!

Haim? Wei Ciman is one of them! Not only is he a well-known scientist, but he is also the leader of a Jewish organization, and he has close ties with the top leaders in Britain and the United States, and he has always been a person respected by old Kadoorie! As former Jewish aristocrats, exiled by Arabs to Iraq, and then from Iraq to the Far East, the Kadoorie family has always dreamed and followed the affairs of the Jews, not only giving a large amount of money to the Jews in the Middle East, but also setting up a foundation to help the Jews in China who lack funds.

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

Not many people in the Kadoorie family know about the involvement of the Kadoorie family in Jewish affairs, and if Situ Nan can know so clearly, it is obvious that he should be a stronger existence than the Kadoorie family, and from Situ Nan's tone, it seems that there is no discrimination against Jews by others?

Old Kadoorie secretly made up his mind in his heart, no matter what, he would first maintain a cooperative relationship with the Meihua Consortium.

"Although it was a little sudden and a little doubtful, the Kadoorie family also wanted to cooperate with Meihua." Old Kadoorie said. He knew that it would not hurt his interests to cooperate with the United States and China.

Seeing that old Kadoorie was relieved, Situ Nan snickered in his heart, feeling like he had accepted another little brother with good potential.

He thinks that there is no need for too much Wang Baqi, under equal business cooperation, tied together with interests, such a little brother will definitely be very reliable.

Moreover, with the deepening of cooperation, in addition to the shopping mall, Meihua actually has a lot of cooperation with the Kadoorie family.

"I believe that our cooperation is honest and pleasant! Our friendship will grow stronger and deeper! Mr. Kadoorie, do you say yes? Stuart Nan stepped forward to shake hands with old Kadoorie.

"Yes. I think so. Old Kadoorie smiled.

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

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

"Yes. If you have the opportunity, you must ask Mr. Szeto for advice. Little Kadao said, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, which was clearly captured by Situ Nan.

Situ Nan smiled slightly, and said in his heart: Although Xiao Kadaodao is a little young, he will definitely be a great person in the future. The Kadoorie family was able to continue to flourish after the Second World War, and the family business, CLP Power, later took control of most of Hong Kong's electricity supply, which was also the masterpiece of Kadoorie Jr., and the Daya Bay Power Plant also had a stake in Kadoorie Jr.

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

Thinking of this, Situ Nan glanced at Little Kadoorie again, and the smile on his lips became even brighter.

"It is said that Mr. Kadoorie Jr. graduated from the University of Shanghai Sao Paulo with a degree in business, and is proficient in Chinese and English.

Situ Nan smiled sincerely, looking at little Kadoorie, but his eyes remained on old Kadoorie.

Little Kadoorie felt strange about Situ Nan's request, but he didn't expect Situ Nan to seem to know him very well.

He knew that Situ Nan was a very important person, at least much better than himself who had just come from Shanghai, and it was naturally good to be Situ Nan's secretary, but it was too sudden, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.

For Situ Nan, who looks only a few years older than him, has become a cunzi who makes his father and son bow his head, little Kadoorie has a trace of jealousy in his heart, and he is not angry!

He was also a competitive man, but when he was about to refuse, old Kadoorie made a decision for him.

"Since Mr. Situ Nan looks up to you, you just have to meet the world with him!" Old Kadoorie said with a smile.

Similarly, he was a little strange about Situ Nan's kindness, but he felt that it was good for little Kadoorie, so he preemptively rejected Situ Nan and made a decision for his son.

Of course, his subtext is that if it doesn't do well, little Kadoorie will come back! You don't have to be too attached to Situ Nan.

Little Kadoorie pursed his lips, his stubborn mouth turned up slightly, and he glanced at Old Kadoorie with some dissatisfaction.

But he can't object to anything, after all, he has only been working for a long time, he is currently in the stage of learning and accumulation, and being Situ Nan's English secretary is actually not completely disgusted in his heart.

"Huh. Sample, when you take it! Situ Nan looked at Little Kadoorie and said in his heart, but his face was full of enthusiasm.

"Exactly! Soon I will be going to Shanghai too! It was great to have Rorenz to help. Situ Nan warmly took Little Kadoorie's hand, and he could already affectionately call Little Kadoorie Roland.

After negotiations, Meihua and the Kadoorie family jointly established CLP Power Holdings, which includes the Hong Kong CLP Power Company, the Guangzhou Electric Power Plant, and the Guangfo Electric Power Company, which is about to invest 3 million yuan in Foshan.

The total assets exceed 7 million, of which Meihua Company accounts for 70% of the shares and the Kadoorie family accounts for 30%. Old Kadoorie, i.e. Erie? Kadoorie becomes Chairman and President of the Company.

Kadoorie Sr. was excited about the Guangfo Power Company's project, followed by the development of Meihua Road and Xinhepu, and the Dongfeng of Foshan's building materials base, which gave him confidence that CLP would monopolize Guangzhou's electricity market and become the largest electricity supplier in South China.

In order to obtain coal for power generation, China Power Power Company will soon also begin to enter the coal market in northern Guangdong, forming its own coal company to open mines in northern Guangdong. At the same time, it also intervened in the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway to protect the passage from northern Guangdong to the Pearl River Delta.
