Under such circumstances, the geographical location of Hong Kong becomes extremely important. With Hong Kong, we can leverage this place to firmly oversee our tobacco business across the East.
Even if we take a step back, and assume the East will eventually end the warlord era, they will only become a country like India, which for us, also holds no disadvantage.
The immense population base of the East, along with its unique social structure, makes it the largest market for the tobacco business. We currently hold an almost monopolistic position there, and I truly cannot see any reason to sell Jardine Matheson now!"

Someone once said that a monopoly is the most wonderful business in the world.
Henry Keswick deeply agreed with this view.
"You are right, so I just rejected Donnie Block's acquisition!"
