Sir Thomson Sr. welcomed the visit of the Zhao Zhenbei brothers. The Zhao family in Hong Kong helped his son gain a lot of political capital. In just two years, his military rank was raised to another level. It's almost full and I will be transferred back to the UK soon.
From his son, Old Thomson also learned to some extent that the Zhao family has become one of the richest families in Hong Kong in the past two years. The assets are so rich that even his own family, the Thomson family, cannot match them. Therefore, Old Thomson did not start to become a British wealthy family. The nobility and airs that a nobleman of title should have.
Nowadays, Britain has long lost its charm as an empire on which the sun never sets. There is nothing to be proud of as a British hereditary aristocrat! In fact, the royal families of these European countries are almost at the same level, let alone the nobles who are a lower level than the European royal families?
With the economic development of capitalism, most of the wealth in capitalist countries has gradually been controlled by the newly emerging families and chaebols. Most of the wealth of the nobles in the feudal royal family has been squandered long ago. Now this strength In the age of supremacy, it seems that the emerging chaebol families are more qualified to show off their pride.
It's a pity that most of the British nobles are not aware of this, and their thoughts are still stuck in the glory of the empire when the sun never sets. This is also the main factor why most British people are very arrogant, Old Thomson Jazz is obviously not one of these people.
When the Zhao Zhenbei brothers arrived at the Thomson family's manor in the western suburbs of London, Old Thomson personally stood outside the gate to greet them, which shows how much he valued the Zhao brothers.
After the end of World War II, from 1945 to 1951, the British Labor government vigorously promoted economic and social reforms, and also made preliminary attempts in the planned economy, formulating a series of economic policies based on the basic national conditions of the United Kingdom.
Since the economic plan formulated by the Labor government is not mandatory, but focuses on the role of market mechanisms, this persuasive plan has not achieved the expected results other than restoring the economy to its original level.
Later, the United Kingdom gradually placed its economic center on the financial industry. Therefore, in 1987, most industrial enterprises in the United Kingdom still used the same old system in terms of production management methods.
The same is true for the family business owned by the Thomson family, so Old Thomson has always wanted to find an opportunity to solve these shortcomings in the family business. Cooperating with the Zhao family, an emerging Hong Kong conglomerate, is undoubtedly the fastest way to reform.
After a while of customary politeness, Old Thomson welcomed the Zhao brothers into the living room. After the guests and hosts were seated, they started talking about topics.
Both parties were friends who had been in contact several times, so there was no small talk and they went directly to the topic. The first person to speak was Zhao Zhennan, a junior.
"I came to Sir Thomson this time to ask you to do a small favor for our brother! I hope you can help us make an appointment with Mr. George Morrison of the Morrison family! I want to use the relationship between our two families, Thomson Sir, you don¡¯t mind doing this little favor for us, right?¡±
The Morrison family? What is the purpose of the Zhao family to find the Morrison family? Old Thomson's mind began to spin, and he soon got the answer. The Morrison family's own industry was real estate and mechanical and electrical, neither of which had much investment value. The only valuable thing was what Old Morrison left to his son George. Shares in Jardine Matheson Systems worth ¡ê1.5 billion.
"Oh! So you are interested in the Jardine Group! I can help you with this, but I also have a small condition. I hope you can agree to it!"
"Haha, Sir Thomson, why are you so polite? If you have any requests, please feel free to make them. Our Zhao family has such a good relationship with the Thomson family, and we will not refuse anyone who can help!"
Zhao Zhenbei had already seen that Old Thomson did not want to get a share of the Jardine Group acquisition, so he smiled and spoke out before Zhao Zhennan.
"Haha, don't worry! I'm not saying that I want to intervene in your acquisition of Jardine Matheson, but I hope that your Zhao family can help Thomson get out of the difficulties faced by most companies in the UK. This is not the scale of Hong Kong Star Investment today. Say, it should be just a small thing!"
They are already very familiar with each other. Old Thomson did not hold back and directly stated his purpose. If Hong Kong Star Investment wants to enter the British market, it must find an agent to achieve its goal. With the Thomson family and With the relationship between the Zhao family and the identity of this agent, the Thomson family is the most suitable.
Zhao Zhenbei was stunned for a while after hearing Thomson's request. This request was too low. He originally thought that Old Thomson would take the opportunity to ask Hong Kong Star to invest inThe Johnson family injected investment funds, but they only asked for an opportunity to cooperate.
This is also where Old Thomson was shrewd. With the backward production conditions and outdated corporate management systems of British companies, no matter how much money is invested, it may not be able to bring the Thomson family industry into line with the world's advanced productivity. The best way is to follow the world's advanced productivity. The Zhao family cooperated to build a company together and learned advanced production methods and management concepts from it.
More importantly, Old Thomson wanted to allow members of his family to cooperate with the employees of Hong Kong Star Investment. He hoped that during the cooperation process, the minds of these family members would be slowly changed due to the influence, so that they could break away from the usual habits of the British upper class. Conservative and arrogant ideological habits.
This is the result Thomson wants most! If a family wants to survive, it is necessary to have conservative and arrogant ideas. No matter how much investment funds Old Thomson can bring to the family, it can only make the family prosperous for a long time. Only by continuously cultivating outstanding family members can there be success. Maybe the family will remain strong for a long time.
"Since Sir Thomson is so frank, I am too embarrassed to hide it. In fact, I want to meet with George Morrison this time. In addition to acquiring his shares in Jardine Matheson Systems, I also want to cooperate with him in the automobile manufacturing industry. Cooperation, and the target has been chosen! I think if the Thomson family joins this cooperation, the operation will be smoother!"
After listening to Zhao Zhenbei's words, Old Thomson's eyes lit up. Indeed, the British automobile industry is already half-dead. If we cooperate with Hong Kong Star Investment to acquire one or two previous brands, and then invest in introducing advanced technology, we can start anew. It shouldn't be difficult to seize back the British car market, which has been gradually occupied by Japan and the United States.
And the European car market is very huge. With the aristocratic car brands that British cars have always followed, if they can keep up with the times and trends technically, it is indeed an industry with potential. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
