Li Zihong frowned slightly and remained silent because he didn't want to disrupt Zhou Qi's plan with his intervention.

His existence was to support Zhou Qi. At this moment, Zhou Zhenming's attitude was undoubtedly challenging their bottom line.

Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Zhou Qi's eyes.

Then, Zhou Qi said to Zhou Zhenming with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, with the shares I currently hold, it is not difficult to launch a tender offer and acquire the remaining Zhou Jinsheng shares."

"Are you threatening me?"

Zhou Zhenming's face was as cold as ice: "What is your purpose? Do you want me to withdraw from the mainland market?"

"If this is the case."

Zhou Zhenming replied calmly: "I can tell you clearly that this is absolutely impossible.

Our investment in entering the mainland market is huge. It is wishful thinking for me to give up months of hard work just because of this.”

"You want to launch a takeover bid? No problem. Let's have a real showdown. But I must remind you that once a business war begins, it's a fight to the death. It will do you no good to fight me."

"Considering the Li family's favor, I can buy back your shares at the market price, and this matter can be dropped."

Looking at Zhou Zhenming, Zhou Qi smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhou, does your confidence come from the support of the Huo family?"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhenming's eyes narrowed into slits, his teeth clenched, and his face was full of anger.

Obviously, he was extremely dissatisfied with the secret transfer of shares and the exposure of his cooperation with the Huo family.

The feeling of being plotted against made him extremely angry.

Zhou Qi knew what Zhou Zhenming was thinking, but he didn't need to explain it. He just shook his head and said:

"Mr. Zhou, I don't think your cooperation with the Huo family is that solid. It would be a huge mistake to bet all your chips on the Huo family.

Even with the help of the Huo family, facing the combined forces of Old Fengxiang, the Li family, Li Zhaoji and Yang Cheng, you will have little chance of winning this business war."

Zhou Zhenming was visibly shocked when he heard this. He turned to look at Li Zihong and said, "Boss Li, I have never offended you before. Why are you doing this now?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Li Zihong's brows. He knew in his heart that according to Zhou Qi, this approach was indeed somewhat unkind.

He gently pressed his palm and soothed him, "Mr. Jay, please don't be anxious. We are not targeting you, and you should not become a victim of this storm."

"Us? The victims?"

These two words made Zhou Zhenming's face turn pale instantly.

Is there any need to further question what this statement means?

The word "we" spoken by Li Zihong says it all.

This means that the alliance mentioned by Zhou Qi does exist. If this is true, once a business war breaks out, even with the support of the Huo family, the chance of winning is almost zero.

Not to mention, it is still unknown whether the Huo family will lend a helping hand when faced with such an alliance.

By then, Zhou Jinsheng was like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"Not targeting me?"

Zhou Zhenming stared at Li Zihong in confusion: "Director Li, can you be more specific?"

Li Zihong glanced at Zhou Qi, motioned Zhou Zhenming to sit down, and then said, "I believe you have heard about the previous financial crisis in Hong Kong City, right?"

Zhou Zhenming nodded, but his heart was full of questions. He didn't know why Li Zihong suddenly brought up the past.

Li Zihong saw through his thoughts and explained:

"That storm can be divided into two parts. I won't say much about the impact of international factors, but you should know something about the manipulation in the stock market."

As Li Zihong spoke, Zhou Zhenming's expression became more and more surprised.

"Mr. Li, this is no small matter. Are you saying that it is the Huo family who is behind this?" Zhou Zhenming asked in disbelief.

"Li Zhaoji, the Bao family, the Zheng family and some official figures and I all know about this matter, but due to the huge impact, no action has been taken." Li Zihong sighed.

"By the way, do you know why the Tang Group became the current Qihui Group? It's also because of this reason."

Zhou Zhenming was so shocked that he was speechless. He rubbed his brows to digest the information and asked, "So, you want to use our cooperation with the Huo family to deal with the Huo family?"

"No, it's not us who are dealing with the Huo family, but the Huo family who is dealing with Xiao Zhou." Li Zihong corrected.

"Wait, why does the Huo family want to deal with Mr. Zhou?" Zhou Zhenming was puzzled.

Li Zihong chuckled: "Because in the battle to protect the Hong Kong stock market, the real hero was not Li Zhaoji, but Xiao Zhou."

Zhou Zhenming's eyes widened, looking at Zhou Qi in disbelief. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed it.

The person who spoke was Li Zihong.

Who is he? Is there any need to lie here?

Li Zihong was slightly thoughtful, and then he slowly said: "Privately, Xiao Zhou is a distinguished guest of the Li family. Whenever he has difficulties, our Li family will lend a helping hand without hesitation;

In terms of official business, Zhou Qi guarded the port city. Are we going to sit idly by and watch the Huo family attack him?

Old Zhou, you should understand now. Your Zhou Jinsheng is, to some extent, just a pawn of the Huo family. "

Zhou Zhenming smiled bitterly and shook his head. No wonder Huo Yongnian suddenly changed his attitude and agreed to cooperate.

If I had known this earlier...

In any case, the situation is now too complicated to escape.

"Mr. Zhou, please tell me what I should do?" Zhou Zhenming asked.

"Mr. Jay, first of all I want to apologize to you."

Zhou Qi said sincerely: "It is indeed not fair to secretly hold a large number of shares in your company."

Zhou Zhenming waved his hand to show his understanding: "This is my management negligence, and I can't blame others. I just hope Mr. Zhou can give Zhou Jinsheng a chance to live and not kill us all.

Before this, I had no idea about all this, and I definitely didn't mean anything against you. At the same time, I am very grateful that you have protected the economy of Hong Kong City. As a member of this place, you have also done me a favor. "

"Zhou Dong is overpraising me."

Zhou Qi responded: "As I said before, I sincerely welcome Zhou Jinsheng to enter the mainland market, and hope to promote cooperation with Lao Fengxiang to expand market share, help each other and improve competitiveness."

Zhou Zhenming shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhou, with all due respect, is this really possible?"

Zhou Qi chuckled and handed over an agreement that had been prepared long ago.

"Mr. Jay, please take a look at this agreement."

Zhou Zhenming took the agreement, read it carefully, and said in surprise: "Is this a share swap? Mr. Zhou, are you kidding?"

"It's true. I hold shares in both Lao Fengxiang and Zhou Jinsheng. Through the equity swap, neither party will suffer any loss, and I personally will not be affected."

"This is just like signing a new agreement to make the distribution of my shares clearer." Zhou Qi continued to explain calmly.
