We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

The secretary went downstairs and within two minutes, Newbigging hurried back to Philip's office from downstairs.

Sitting back on the sofa, Newbigging's face was very unsightly.

Newbigging joined Jardine Matheson in 1954 and successively served as Director, Deputy Managing Director, and Managing Director of Jardine Matheson, until he became Chairman of the Board of Directors in 1975. He worked at Jardine Matheson for more than twenty years.

In these twenty years, as his position became higher and higher, his power also continued to increase.

Especially after he became the Tai-pan of Jardine Matheson, he had already become a big figure in Hong Kong. Even the Governor, Murray MacLehose, had to give him face and respected him extremely.

But today, he had to apologize to a Chinese, which was a disgrace to him.

But he was very clear that if he didn't apologize, he would not have good fruit to eat.

After the apology, he would still be himself, and the position of Tai-pan of Jardine Matheson would still be his.

Although he had been constantly brainwashing himself in his heart, all of this was for his future, but as soon as he thought that he was about to apologize to Su Cheng, Newbigging couldn't help but clench his teeth and try to calm himself down.

Originally, according to the result of his discussion with Philip, it was that after he came in, he would immediately apologize to Su Cheng, which would appear more sincere.

But after coming in, Newbigging suddenly found that he couldn't open his mouth at all, it was difficult to say.

Today was simply the most uncomfortable day of his life. Opening his mouth to apologize to Su Cheng was like his soul was constantly being trampled by Su Cheng.

Is this the punishment for impulsiveness?

If he hadn't impulsively said those words earlier, then Su Cheng should have been easy to talk to, right?

But what was said was said, and there was no regret medicine.

Newbigging sat on the sofa, feeling more and more uncomfortable as he thought about it.

If this matter were to spread, he would lose face.

The famous Jardine Matheson's Tai-pan actually had to apologize to Su Cheng.

"Mr. Newbigging, Mr. Su is waiting for you." Seeing that Newbigging hadn't spoken for a long time, Philip reminded him from the side.

"Mr. Philip, didn't you say that Mr. Newbigging is very sincere in apologizing? But I don't see a trace of sincerity now?" Before Newbigging could speak, Su Cheng on the opposite side mocked.

However, after Philip privately persuaded him to make peace with Newbigging, Su Cheng gave up this idea.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Philip, but Su Cheng suddenly felt that if his actions caused the development trend of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land Group in the next few years to completely change and become an unknown, then his layout in Hongkong Land might be in vain.

In addition, this would also cause all the British financial groups such as Philip to have opinions about him. If they united to deal with him, he might find it difficult to survive in Hong Kong.

In the future, Hong Kong will return to the motherland.

But that was after all a matter of more than ten years later.

The current Hong Kong is really controlled by the British, and the British financial groups also represent the British capitalists. Even if he has more money, he cannot fight against the Governor's Office.

Don't look at Murray MacLehose's respect for Su Cheng now, that's because Su Cheng hasn't harmed Britain's interests.

But once Su Cheng harms Britain's interests, Murray MacLehose will be the first to not let go of him, Su Cheng.

Although Su Cheng is now rich and powerful, he has not reached the point of being invincible in Hong Kong. There are still many things to consider.

Therefore, after considering various factors, he finally chose to agree to Philip and accept Newbigging's apology. If Newbigging apologized, then the two sides could turn hostility into friendship.

But if Newbigging can't even do an apology, then sorry, all the British financial groups are fake.

He, Su Cheng, also has a temper!

If Newbigging can't even do this little thing, then don't blame him, Su Cheng, for openly dealing with Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land.

And when Su Cheng finished saying this, Newbigging's face on the opposite side had already turned red, and he almost turned his face again.

Philip, who was on the side, was afraid that Newbigging would say something wrong again, so he gently kicked Newbigging's shoe with his foot.

This also made Newbigging calm down instantly.

He bit his teeth, stood up directly from the sofa, and said to Su Cheng: "Mr. Su, I'm sorry, this time it's my fault, please forgive my rudeness, Mr. Su."

After speaking, Newbigging also bowed to Su Cheng, and his proud head lowered.

This was already the greatest extent of apology he had made up his mind to do.

Su Cheng was also very surprised at this time, he didn't expect that he would not fight back even after he had angered and mocked him so much.

This was really beyond his expectations.

Although Su Cheng already had the idea of turning hostility into friendship with Newbigging.

But when he thought of Newbigging's face and their exploitation of ordinary people in Hong Kong over the years, Su Cheng wanted to continue to teach him a lesson.

However, since Newbigging had already made his promise and personally apologized to Su Cheng, it would seem petty for Su Cheng to continue to embarrass Newbigging.

Boring, really boring!

Su Cheng shook his head, very dissatisfied with Newbigging's behavior.

Why not be tougher, what about the promised arrogance?

"Mr. Su, Mr. Newbigging has already apologized to you with great sincerity. Don't be angry anymore. Let's write off the previous matter, how about it?" Philip said in a timely manner.

"Since Mr. Newbigging has apologized, then what else can I say? I accept Mr. Newbigging's apology, but I'll say the ugly things first. This is for Mr. Philip's sake. I don't want to care too much about you, but if you Jardine Matheson still want to do something, or even deal with my company, then don't blame me for being rude. At that time, no one's face will work!"

Although Su Cheng accepted the apology, he still warned Newbigging.

These foreigners are best at one thing on the surface and another thing in secret.

He is now saying it in front of Philip in advance. If Jardine Matheson dares to provoke him in the future, then don't blame him for being rude.

"Mr. Su, please rest assured, I represent Jardine Matheson, and I will not make small moves to retaliate against Mr. Su's company. Mr. Philip can testify!" Since he has already apologized, which means he has admitted defeat, Newbigging's psychological pressure is not so great, and the sense of shame is not so strong.

"Since everyone has put down their grievances, then you are equivalent to not knowing each other without fighting. Come, let's shake hands together to increase our friendship. Hong Kong is so big, there are many places where everyone can cooperate in the future. It's always better to be friends than enemies!" Philip stood up and said happily.
