Storied Asian trader Jardine Matheson company is worth 40 billion dollars is buying out its sister company Jardine Strategic for $5.5 billion, leaves them sitting on top of the group. These two have acted as duel holding companies for the Hong Kong based Jardines empire which includes Mandarin Oriental Hotels collapsing a structure designed in the 1980s to protect the Keswicks — Jardines controlling family shield its controlling family from corporate raiders.
In Shanghai, Jardine, Matheson & Co. were the first to register a building lot on the Bund in 1843 where their first premises at No. 27 were completed in 1851. In 1862, William Keswick bailed out the fledgling Shanghai Race Club to avoid its financial ruin. At its Spring and Autumn meetings, rivalry between the big Hongs such as Jardines and Dents proved intense. In 1898, Jardines and the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Company (HSBC) founded the British and Chinese Corporation (BCC).
William Jardine was born in 1784 in the Scottish lowlands and graduated from Edinburgh University with a degree in medicine. In 1803, at the age of 19, he became a surgeon on the ships of the British East India Company working the trading routes between London, China and India; a position he held for the next 14 years. As a senior ship’s officer, Jardine was allocated an amount of cargo space equal to two chests which he could use to conduct his own business. Using this space, the doctor soon discovered that trading opium was more profitable than practicing medicine.
JUMP JIM CROW & JIMMY CRACK CORN
A great opportunity for teaching, and for getting students (and others) to think and feel deeply about issues of representation. The amazing origins of the words “Jim Crow”, how it became part of the language, and the name for racist laws and attitudes used to oppress blacks in the Southern United States in the 19th and 20th Centuries.

Scotland ‘s darker role in the slave trade is also well known. Scots were influential in founding the Ku Klux Klan, including the traditional Scottish symbol of the burning cross and the KKK’s oath ceremony, which originated from a Highland custom. Many of the “crackers” were Scots-Irish Protestants who had left Ireland in the 18th century.

Thomas Handasyd Perkins, a slave trader in Haiti who became the biggest smuggler of Turkish opium into China.
Thomas James Perkins (January 7, 1932 – June 7, 2016) was an American businessman and venture capitalist who was one of the founders of the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins. A letter from Perkins compared the “progressive war on the American one percent” of wealthiest Americans and the Occupy movement’s “demonization of the rich” to the Kristallnacht and anti-semitism in Nazi Germany:
FYI In the 1920’s the KKK organized around white supremacy and was a multi-level marketing get-rich scheme. Amway for racism.

Scottish Opium Drug Runners
In 1832 William Jardine and James Matheson established what would become the greatest British trading company in East Asia in the nineteenth century. Opium and Empire tells the story of two Scotsmen whose lives reveal a great deal about the type of tough-minded men who expanded the global markets of Victorian Britain and played major roles in changing the course of modern history in East Asia.
Mathesons, who originally channeled opium from India into China using the East India Company, had created a serious social problem. Four out of five adults in the coastal areas smoked the drug and it was estimated that 20 per cent of central government officials and 80 per cent of the country’s clerk puffed on the opium pipe.
China went on to destroy large cargoes of opium in a bid to control the problem, but the British, following lobbying from Sir James, co-owner of Jardine, Matheson and Co, launched the Opium Wars in a bid to protect trade routes.
Having impacted heavily on life in China, the Matheson men came home – and invested heavily in their influence and legacy in their home country. Sir James, who was born in Lairg, Sutherland, bought the Isle of Lewis for £190,000 in 1844 and set about building Lews Castle at Stornoway and Uig Lodge overlooking the bay at Tismgarry to the far west of the island.
Sir Alexander, who was a partner in the trading company, returned to Scotland in 1839 and bought up vast tracts of land across the Highlands. His portfolio included the Ardintoul Estate, land at Loch Luich and the ruins of Eilean Donan Casle.

The recruitment of tea cultivators from China in the 1830s also impacted on colonial concepts of racial hierarchy and the perceived contrast between savagery and civilization.

IS THE WORD
FOR THE SOUND OF MONEY
The Scottish Keswick clan has long since been eclipsed by Hong Kong’s Chinese elite in terms of wealth and influence.
Li Ka-shing, for instance, found factory work when he arrived from southern China in the 1940s, as colonial powers like Jardines lorded over Hong Kong. Today, Li’s fortune is more than five times greater than the Keswicks.
In March, Jardine Matheson’s Mandarin Oriental unit closed its iconic Excelsior hotel, built on what is known as Plot 1—the very first parcel of land sold around the time Hong Kong became a British colony in 1843.
At 46, Ben represents the fifth generation atop Jardines, the inspiration for James Clavell’s novel “Noble House.” His ascendance coincides with another milestone for the family: On paper, the Keswicks became richer than ever this year, and have a combined net worth of at least $5 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Jardine House, headquarters of the storied British “hong” that China has eyed with suspicion since the days when the founders of the trading company were trafficking opium in the Pearl River Delta.
But today—more than 175 years after William Jardine and James Matheson helped deliver Hong Kong into the hands of British imperialists and 22 years into the territory’s handover to an ascendant China—a new era has begun for the group and its billionaire dynasty, the Keswick family, who married into the Jardine clan in the 19th century.
Jardines has been refining its strategy under its newest taipan, or big boss, Ben Keswick, who became executive chairman this year. His uncle, Henry, expanded the family’s reach across Southeast Asia, a campaign that continued last year with Astra International’s investment in Indonesian startup Go-Jek.
Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited (also known as Jardines) is a Hong Kong-registered British multinational conglomerate with legal domicile in Bermuda.It has primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and secondary listings on the Singapore Exchange and Bermuda Stock Exchange.
The Americans
The destabilization of China and the building of the western U.S. railroads opened the floodgates for human trafficking (Shanghai’ing, as they called it) and expanding of the Chinese opium trade by Americans. The American families of Perkins, Astor and Forbes made tens of millions off of the opium trade. The Perkins founded Bank of Boston, which is today known as Credit Suisse.
William Hathaway Forbes was a director at Hong Kong Shanghai Bank shortly after it was founded in 1866.
John Murray Forbes was the U.S. agent for the Barings banking family, which financed most of the early drug trade.
The Forbes family heirs later launched Forbes magazine. Query Secretary of State’s John Forbes Kerry disgusting family lineage.
The term “Boston Brahmins” refers to a class of wealthy, educated, elite members of Boston society in the nineteenth century. Harvard got started with opium drug money from the Boston Brahmins.
U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s grandfather Warren Delano created his wealth from the China opium crime racket, like U.S. Secretary of State John Forbes Kerry.
