at the same time.
In an intensive care unit in the famous Ruttonjee Hospital on Queen's Road East in Hong Kong Island.
A white-haired old man with various instruments inserted into his body was lying quietly on the hospital bed. On both sides of him stood a doctor in a white coat and a mask, operating the instruments carefully.
As time went by, the breathing apparatus suddenly made a "squeaking..." sound, and the heart rate monitor suddenly turned into a straight line.
The doctor who was recording data at the side immediately lifted up the old man's shirt, performed CPR and artificial respiration, and then pressed rhythmically.
The old man's heartbeat started again, and just when the doctor breathed a sigh of relief, it stopped beating completely, which also meant that a life had completely left the world.
The two doctors looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness and sadness in their eyes. They had no choice but to push open the door and explain to the family members who were waiting outside.
"Doctor! How is my father's health?" A middle-aged man with white hair and blue eyes looked very anxious and immediately ran over to ask.
"Mr. Simon! We tried our best, but Mr. Henry already had weakened heart function, and he didn't make it this time because of the sudden onset of anger."
After the attending doctor took off his mask, there was a trace of guilt on his face, but he still explained quickly.
“Dad! Wuuuuu…”
The middle-aged man couldn't stop crying when he heard this and rushed into the intensive care unit.
When I saw my father lying peacefully on the bed, I couldn't accept this fact for a long time.
Some fragments of his interactions with his father emerged in his mind, and his eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger.
Like an enraged lion, he gritted his teeth and asked his father's secretary:
"Tell me! What happened today?"
"Mr. Simon...! Here's what happened. Today, Mr. Henry went to Henderson Land Development to discuss the acquisition of shares in China Gas with Li Shau Kee. There was another buyer at the time, the financial genius Mo Zhexuan, who has been a hot topic in Hong Kong lately."
"After a fierce competition between the two, Mo Zhexuan finally offered 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash to acquire Li Zhaoji's 24.4% stake in China Gas. When I entered the room, Mr. Henry was already unconscious."
Under the other party's fierce gaze, the secretary had beads of sweat on his forehead and could only blurt out what had happened in a hurry.
"My father has been in the business world for decades and has experienced countless ups and downs. He wouldn't be this fragile. Has he shown any abnormalities recently?"
The middle-aged man was a little bit incredulous, but then he was filled with uncontrollable anger.
When did Jardine Matheson, once the king of Hong Kong, fall into such a state? First, Wharf Holdings was taken away by the shipping king, and now it can't even take over China Gas Company.
"Oh! I remember one thing. After attending the shareholders' meeting of China Gas Company yesterday, Mr. Henry was furious as soon as he got in the car and cursed Mo Zhexuan harshly..."
The secretary recalled the scene at that time and quickly told everything he knew.
"Mo Zhexuan! Just wait for me. I will make you pay the price and let you know that the dignity of Jardine Matheson cannot be challenged."
The middle-aged man's eyes were blazing with fire after hearing this. He immediately walked out and made a phone call, then said indifferently:
"I want you to find out all the information about Mo Zhexuan for me as quickly as possible."
"Boss! I'll do it right away!"
“......................”
.................
When the news of Henry Keswick's death spread to the outside world, it swept through every corner of Hong Kong like a tornado.
Ordinary people in Hong Kong are still unaware of it, but for the wealthy families in Hong Kong, it is as shocking as a magnitude 9 earthquake.
Henry Keswick was in charge of Jardine Matheson for forty years, and during his heyday he was like a local emperor in Hong Kong.
Just one sentence can make all Chinese-funded enterprises retreat or even surrender.
Now that such a person has passed away, it naturally attracts more attention and puts Mo Zhexuan at the center of public opinion.
After all, the other party's death was caused by anger due to the failure of the acquisition of China Gas Company.
After Mo Zhexuan learned the news the next day, he felt that he was really unlucky.
Drinking water got me stuck in my teeth, and farting twisted my waist - I deserve this bad luck, I wish I could slap myself hard in the face.
This guy was so rude that he unexpectedly angered the old fox Henry Keswick to death. Didn’t this completely offend Jardine Matheson?
After learning about Henry Keswick's funeral, he and his bodyguard went to pay their respects with wreaths.
But he was unexpectedly stopped by the bodyguards of Jardine Matheson immediately, and in front of a group of famous figures in Hong Kong.
At that time, Henry Keswick's son Simon Keswick even made harsh remarks in front of a group of distinguished guests.
It was said that from now on, Jardine Matheson and Mo Zhexuan would be at war until the death, and anyone who helped Mo Zhexuan would be the enemy of Jardine Matheson.
As soon as these words were spoken, the media reporters watching at the scene danced with excitement, took out their cameras to take pictures and sent them back to the newspaper for writing.
Just when everyone was waiting for Mo Zhexuan to respond and fight back.
Mo Zhexuan just smiled, then bowed deeply three times towards Henry Keswick's position, asked the bodyguard to put down the wreath, and then left.
Sometimes silence is the best counterattack, and it can better reflect a person's demeanor.
In public, verbal arguments are the least convincing; real action shows real ability.
Moreover, it was difficult for Mo Zhexuan to refute at that time, after all, he had angered someone else's father to death.
As a son, Simon Keswick was kind enough not to take revenge with a knife, so leaving was the best option.
But deep down, he took Simon Keswick's threat to heart. Jardine Matheson had been in Hong Kong for over a hundred years, and in recent years, it had indeed suffered heavy losses due to its overseas investments.
However, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. If the other party attacks one's own companies at all costs, it may not be possible to resist. This time it may be really dangerous.
But now that things have come to this, we can only fight against the enemy with our troops and block the water with earth. The millet and rifles of the volunteer army in World War II were able to defeat the well-equipped American devils.
Now that he has been reborn, can he still not stop the decline of Jardine Matheson?
Just like what Lei Jun said, life and death are up for discussion, if you don’t agree, just fight, you will know whether it is a mule or a horse by pulling them out for comparison.
