Noble House (miniseries)
In their meeting, Tsu-Yan tells Dunross (who is one of the most powerful businessmen in Hong Kong and knows the Governor) that in exchange for a $300 million-dollar credit line to Struan's, Dunross must secure the release of Brian and his safe return to China. The Governor makes it clear that he considers Dunross’ statement blackmail, but it is implied that he also understands very well that Hong Kong really depends on China's financial support. The Macau businessman who controlled the gold trade in partnership with Struans, Lando Mata, is based on a composite of two famous Macau businessmen, Pedro José Lobo and Stanley Ho. The American-Chinese scientist who defected to China and helped develop the first atom bomb for China, Dr. Joseph Yu, is a fictionalized version of renowned Caltech scientist Dr. Qian Xuesen. Sir Dunstan Barre is based on Sir Douglas Clague while the character Tsu-yan is based on Hong Kong businessman Henry Fok.

About Noble House Home Furnishings
By selling the stocks he borrowed (and causing panic to other investors), Gornt could make the price of the stock drop significantly, allowing him to make substantial profits if he could buy the stock back at a very low price (and with enough stocks, Gornt could take control of Struan's). However, Gornt also knows that if the stock price does not drop enough, he could face significant losses and even lose it all. Initially, Casey is completely unaware of Bartlett's double play, but after she learns about it she tells him this could backfire, and then Bartlett tells her confidently that no matter what happens they will become the Noble House (apparently, his true goal from the very beginning).
A shocked Phillip reacts by saying that Bartlett must have given it to Dunross, who concludes that John must have been the one who gave key Struans’ confidential documents to Bartlett. Embarrassed and upset, Phillip then says that it must have been actually Wu who presented the half-coin, but that it belonged to him. Dunross tells Phillip that all Struan’s documents he has must be returned to him immediately (which Phillips complies with) and that he must raise $40 million for Struan’s by Sunday midnight (that is, in less than two days). On Sunday afternoon, embarrassed by John’s treason to Struan’s and upset from learning that Wu stole his half-coin, Phillip tells Dunross in person that he will protect the Noble House at all costs, suggesting he will kill Wu so that no favor will be granted to the ambitious criminal.
He is also embroiled in international espionage when he finds himself in possession of secret documents desperately desired by both the KGB and MI6. The novel follows Dunross' attempts to extricate himself from all this and to save Struan's, the Noble House.

The Mid-Century Dining Room

Located in the heart of Del Mar, L’Auberge overlooks the Pacific Ocean and offers the experience of a private coastal estate. This stylish seaside retreat features gourmet dining, an ocean-inspired spa, private beach path and a relaxing pool area. Despite being the most powerful Hong Kong trading company, Struan & Company (the Noble House) is in trouble. Ian Dunross (Pierce Brosnan) is appointed as tai-pan of Struan’s and the inherited legacy of intense rivalry and hatred between him and Quillan Gornt (John Rhys-Davies) and his company Rothwell-Gornt reaches its highest level. Overextended by the previous management, Dunross issued public stock to improve Struan’s financial standing.
As tai-pan of Struan's, he must fulfill the request, whether legal or illegal, to anyone who presents one of the half coins that were initially split by Dirk Struan and the trader Jin Qua, serving as repayment for the latter's loan of silver. The first half coin was redeemed during the events in the previous novel, and the second coin between the events of Tai-Pan and Noble House. Noble House follows the fate of the third half coin (an illustration of the coin is prominently featured on the cover of several editions of the novel). In Noble House, Dunross finds his company the target of a hostile takeover at a time when Struan's is desperately overextended.
Casey leaves Hong Kong but accepts Dunross’ offer to return a month later to be with him. At the end, we see Dunross looking at Hong Kong’s skyline from his mansion, suggesting he is ready for the next challenges the Noble House will face. Struan and Company is based on Jardine Matheson & Company, which continues to exist as an Asian trading company. The chief character, Ian Dunross, is believed to be a composite character of two real life Jardine Matheson tai-pans, Sir Hugh Barton and Sir Michael Herries. Ian Dunross, the 10th tai-pan of Struan's and a descendant of founder Dirk Struan, struggles to rescue the company from the precarious financial position left by his predecessor. To this end, he seeks partnership with American millionaire Lincoln Bartlett, while trying to ward off his arch-rival Quillan Gornt, who seeks to destroy Struan's once and for all.
