Faced with this situation, he naturally didn't dare to say anything more.
When the shipping king completed the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, the Keswick family behind Jardine Matheson was very dissatisfied with Newbigin, the then chairman of the board of directors of Jardine Matheson, and removed him within two years.
Newbijian is full of resentment towards the Keswick family. The acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa was not my fault. You can't even come up with the money, so what can I do?
Besides, I didn’t suffer much loss when Wharf Holdings was bought out. I helped the company make nearly HK$300 million from it.
It can be said that since being fired, Newbijian has been waiting to see Jardine Matheson make a fool of himself.
Unexpectedly, he really waited for it.
And this joke has been seen from last year to this year, and he was so happy that he almost sang.
The person who helped him fulfill his wish was mainly Xu Xiangqian, so he didn't want to tell anyone about Xu Xiangqian's situation.
After making their guesses, the gold merchants helplessly discovered that this was of no use except adding to their troubles.
Last year, Xu Xiangqian was still relatively young, so it wouldn't be difficult to take action against him.
Now that he has grown up, it is simply a pipe dream to try to take action against him.
The most important thing is that the gold merchants have just spent a lot of money to reach an agreement with the ship charter king.
If it is confirmed that the wrong person was identified, not only will it be embarrassing, but you might even lose your life.
After thinking about it, the gold merchants pretended that this matter had never happened. The person who could dominate the gold market must be and could only be the king of chartering ships.
As soon as the news of Bao Wang's completion of controlling stake in Jardine Matheson Shipping and Hong Kong United Dockyard came out, a saying spread among the people: In Hong Kong, the port belongs to the Bao family.
This is not an exaggeration at all.
After taking over these two companies, most of Hong Kong's ports were in the hands of the ship charter king.
When Li Xu heard this, he laughed a lot.
He remembered that in his previous life, this sentence was followed by "The city belongs to the Li family."
Now it seems that the second half of the sentence is unlikely to be realized.
Because Li Xu decided to target Li Suhua from now on and launch an all-round attack on his industry.
Li Suhua is a typical businessman. He has no country in his heart, only money.
Although Li Xu looked down on him, he didn't want to do anything to him.
But he was determined to die, and tried again and again to snatch food from Li Xu's mouth.
When Li Xu acquired the land last year, Li Suhua intervened and almost caused him to fail.
He wanted to deal with Li Suhua at that time, but later the ship charter king pleaded for him, so Li Xu did not do it.
Now Li Suhua dared to do this again, trying to compete for the real estate company that Li Xu had his eyes on, which made him really unable to tolerate it.
Every time he wanted to acquire a company, he would ask the charter king to remind the Chinese businessmen he knew to avoid accidental harm.
Li Suhua was reminded, but he still dared to interfere, twice. Li Xu felt that if he was not taught a lesson, he might not even know his own last name.
After learning what had happened, the charter boat king sighed helplessly.
Even though he had done business with Li Suhua, their relationship was actually not that deep.
Last year, the charter king told several friends the news that the mainland was going to take back Hong Kong Island, but Li Suhua was not among them.
The reason is that Li Suhua has no country in her heart.
The last time the ship charter king pleaded for him, it was only because they were fellow Chinese businessmen and he didn't want the Chinese capital to be weakened.
Now that he is seeking death again, it is difficult for the charter king to plead for him.
Speaking of which, Li Suhua is indeed amazing. Although he is not a top tycoon now, but just an ordinary tycoon, during this financial crisis, the stock price of the company under his name has remained stable and has hardly dropped.
You know, even among the top tycoons, few dare to say that the stock prices of their companies can remain stable.
Of course, after Li Xu took action, Li Suhua was no longer as powerful, and the company's stock price plummeted.
Li Xu's method was very simple. He first made an agreement with the ship charterer that none of Li Suhua's goods were allowed to enter or leave the port. Then he asked Xu Xiangqian to find Li Suhua's business partners and tell them directly that he was going to take action against Li Suhua.
Everyone has witnessed Xu Xiangqian's strength. People in Hong Kong all believe that his strength far exceeds that of Li Suhua. If he wants to take action against Li Suhua, everyone thinks that this will be a war without suspense.
So some of Li Suhua's business partners broke off their cooperation with him, and some went to the stock market to short sell the companies under his name, hoping to make a profit.
Finally, Li Xu asked his own TV station to truthfully report Li Suhua's current predicament.
As soon as the news came out, people knew that Li Suhua had not only severely offended Xu Xiangqian, but he was most likely the party at fault, otherwise even the ship charter king would not have been involved.
After being jointly sanctioned by two top tycoons, people felt that Li Suhua's future was worrying and began to sell off stocks of his companies.
This made him so anxious that he didn't even bother to acquire the bankrupt company and was busy supporting the stock market.
At the same time, he went to find Xu Xiangqian, admitted his mistake and begged for forgiveness.
Xu Xiangqian ignored him and asked him to wait for a while.
On October 4, the British government, helpless in the face of the financial crisis, chose to admit defeat.
The financial crisis has stopped.
However, the problem of Hong Kong dollar depreciation has not been solved.
In order to solve this problem, on October 15, the Hong Kong government issued a notice, stating that from the 17th, Hong Kong would implement a policy of pegging the Hong Kong dollar to the US dollar, using a fixed exchange rate of 1 to 7.8, that is, one US dollar would be exchanged for 7.8 Hong Kong dollars.
Before the financial crisis, one US dollar could be exchanged for more than six Hong Kong dollars, but later it could only be exchanged for 7.8 Hong Kong dollars. The Hong Kong dollar still depreciated.
Since it is a fixed exchange rate and there will be no fluctuations, people feel much more at ease.
