Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

next day----

The Hong Kong press has been sensational all day, and newspapers and magazines have used eye-catching headlines to describe Shi Zhijian's successful acquisition of "snake swallowing an elephant" as if an atomic bomb was dropped over Hong Kong. Hong Kong and the stock market soared.

On August 25, 1971, Shi Zhijian finally reached an agreement with HSBC on the acquisition of Hutchison shares, and completed this transaction, which was referred to by the Far East Economic Review as "a transaction of the century that brought Shi Zhijian to the sky".

The day when a big British-owned bank fell into the hands of the Chinese is undoubtedly an important milestone for the history of the development of capital consortia in Hong Kong. For the social and historical development of Hong Kong, it is undoubtedly an exciting turning point that will go down in history.

Shi Zhijian held the most exciting press conference since the founding of Shinhwa Group. Shi Zhijian, who has always been calm, couldn't hide his excitement, and announced with pride: "On the basis of not affecting the original business of Shinhwa Group, the company has A bigger breakthrough - Shinhwa Group purchased the equity of Hutchison Whampoa Limited, a veteran British consortium of 90 million ordinary shares of HSBC, at a price of 6.2 yuan per share."

Shi Zhijian announced that the shares purchased by Shinhwa, accounting for about 22.4% of the total issued shares of Hutchison, became the largest single shareholder of Hutchison.

Of course, Shi Zhijian didn't forget to stare at Cheung Kong, who was waiting for the soup.

At the press conference, Shi Zhijian announced that Shinhwa and Cheung Kong will work together to manage and operate Hutchison Whampoa. And Shi Zhijian generously ceded the position of president of Hutchison Whampoa to Li Jiacheng, praising Li Jiacheng as a smart and wise good friend! For Li Jiacheng in charge of Hutchison Whampoa, I have a hundred confidence, I believe that Li Jiacheng will definitely make Hutchison Whampoa an aircraft carrier in the East!

Since then, although Li Jiacheng has not gained much benefit, he has gained a huge reputation, and he has also become a "national hero" with Shi Zhijian for a while.

...

"Youwei, remember to keep the loan from HSBC in Shinhwa for one month, and then transfer the payment for each installment to Qi Dezun's company!" Shi Zhijian pushed open the office of Su Youwei, the chief financial officer. Su Youwei said.

Su Youwei has been dealing with financial statements for so many years, and of course she knows the tricks.

This time, Li Jiacheng invested 200 million as the down payment for the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, while Shinhwa borrowed 400 million from HSBC. According to the signed contract, 100 million was transferred to Qi Dezun every month.

Shi Zhijian's plan is that the HSBC transfer is not directly directed to Qi Dezun Company, but to the Shinhwa Group first, and then to the Qi Dezun Company. There is a time difference in the middle, and the interest of 100 million a month is not a small amount!

"But if Qi Dezun's company pursues it----" Su Youwei looked up at Shi Zhijian and hesitated.

Shi Zhijian smiled, "Then let them find me! One hundred million in interest earned will go to the charity donation account, and all the interest will be donated in the name of Mrs. Mai Lihao!"

As soon as Su Youwei heard this, her beautiful eyes showed adoration.

Although she is already Shi Zhijian's wife, in her mind Shi Zhijian will always be the man she most respects and admires the most.

Shi Zhijian was a little embarrassed by Su Youwei's adoring eyes, so he scratched the bridge of his nose and said, "Don't always look at me with this kind of eyes, it makes me so embarrassed."

Su Youwei laughed, got up and wrapped her arms around Shi Zhijian's neck and said, "Then what should I do, people just love you and adore you!" She looked like a little fan girl.

"Naughty!" Shi Zhijian nodded her nose.

Before the release, Su Youwei didn't dare to do such a move, and she only dared to "free herself" when she married Shi Zhijian. She used to be very passive and was always deliberately "bullied" by Shi Zhijian.

Just when the young couple wants to "fake public and private" for a little "love" here----

Winter winter!

Someone knocked on the door.

With a creak, the office door was pushed open.

Su Youwei hurriedly released the arm that was wrapping Shi Zhijian's neck, her pretty face glowing.

Shi Zhijian also hurriedly coughed, posing as an upright gentleman.

The cleaning supervisor who broke in, Smelly Yuming knew what he had done wrong when he saw this scene! He half-pulled his body and wanted to retract, but he didn't dare to move, so he could only get stuck in the crack of the door, and probed, "Mr. Shi, my wife asked what would you like to eat at noon today?"

Smelly Yuming's wife "Ms. Ming" is the little girl Huiyinghong's mother. After her husband passed away, she lived alone with several children. She sold cigarettes and chewing gum on the street to support her family in Hukou.

By chance, stinky fish met her, and she did not dislike her carrying a few oil bottles, and formed a new family with her. Huiyinghong's mother also changed her name to "Ms. Ming".

After getting married, Yuyu Ming and Sister Ming rely on each other to support the family. The stinky fish Ming, who was originally delicious and lazy, turned his back on his wrongdoing. Relying on the relationship between Shek Kip Mei and Shi Zhijian, he infiltrated the Shinhwa Company as a cleaning staff.

This has been done for two years. Every time the company manages the barbecued pork rice at noon, the stinky fish will be reluctant to eat it. He hides it and takes it home to give Xiaohui Yinghong and others a tooth sacrifice. When the children are finished eating, he will pick up the bones. What a lick, a mouth addiction.

The Shinhwa Company has developed rapidly, and the stinky fish has also been promoted to the upper position. Not only does the monthly salary now increase from 300 yuan to 1,300 yuan, but he also serves as the head of the company's cleaning department. He leads eight subordinates by himself.

Although Stinky Fish Ming has become "prosperous", he still hasn't forgotten his wife. After he has established himself as a "cleaning supervisor" in Shinhwa Company, he is ready to arrange Mrs. Ming to work in the company.

At that time, Shi Zhijian was going to open a canteen in the company, and he needed to find someone who knew how to cook with fire, so Mrs. Ming became the head of the canteen.

"What to eat? Uh, I'll go and take a look first!" Shi Zhijian let out a haha, winked at Su Youwei, and told her to continue working, while he followed the smelly fish out of the house.

Smelly Yuming watched Shi Zhijian "wink" at Su Youwei, and didn't find it funny in his heart. He was married and still flirting. Boss Shi really has a heart!

Shi Zhijian took the smelly fish Ming to the company's canteen, and saw Mrs. Ming sitting on the small wooden bar to choose dishes.

These pure natural and pollution-free vegetables are supplied by the vegetable company over there, the elder sister Shi Yufeng.

In fact, this small cafeteria is not big, and it does not consume many ingredients every day. At most, Shi Zhijian, Su Youwei and other high-level executives will open a small kitchen, similar to that kind of private club.

Logically, there is no need for such a large vegetable company to help with supply, and a round trip is not enough to travel.

However, the queen of vegetables, Shi Yufeng, is the elder sister Shi Zhijian. The elder sister is afraid that she will not be able to eat well, so she can't wait to come over to help cook, let alone provide the ingredients. Basically, she supplies fresh vegetables, chicken, duck, fish, etc. every day. Carefully selected good ones.

"Today, these ingredients are very rich. I like Xianggu the most, and abalone!" Shi Zhijian praised.

Sister-in-law Ming looked up at Shi Zhijian, then at her husband Stinky Yuming, and said, "If there were not mice here, the ingredients you saw, boss, would be more abundant than now!"

There is clearly something in the words.

Stinky Fish Ming winked hard at his wife, winking, but Ming's sister-in-law pretended not to see, "Boss Shi is so good to us, I'm telling the truth, is it wrong?"

Shi Zhijian crouched down, picked up the abalones, looked at the shark fins, and said with a smile: "It looks like Brother Ming is in a hurry!"

Stinky Fish Ming hurriedly came over, took out a cigarette and handed it to Shi Zhijian: "Boss, don't listen to her nonsense! Women have long hair and short knowledge! They always like to talk nonsense!"

"That's not true, Mrs. Ming said that there are big rats here. It seems that I have to do a rodent eradication operation!"

Stinky Yuming couldn't help but knelt down at Shi Zhijian with a thud: "Boss, forgive me, I'm guilty!"

Shi Zhijian pretended to be surprised, "Brother Ming, what are you doing?"

The stinky fish didn't dare to lift its head, and cried, "I confess, I will explain! I have embezzled the abalone and shark fins here..."

Sister-in-law Ming glared at him: "It's just abalone, shark fin?"

The stinky fish was about to cry. He didn't expect his wife to be so righteous and kill relatives. Not only did he not stand with him, but he kept exposing his old bottom.

"There are also chickens, ducks, fish, and Cordyceps sinensis and the like!" Stinky Yuming squeezed a handful of tears, raised his head and said with tears, "Boss, punish me, I was wrong! You are so good to me, but I also secretly embezzle. Your ingredients, I am not a person, I am not a thing!"

The stinky fish slapped himself twice.

Shi Zhijian smiled.

In fact, Shi Zhijian knew a little bit of the inside story about stinky fish ming’s corrupt ingredients, but he didn’t point it out.

This era is an era of corruption.

The whole of Hong Kong is full of greed, petty and greedy. Even the cafeteria clerks embezzle all kinds of tips in the restaurant, not to mention people like stinky fish.

The reason why Shi Zhijian refused to speak out was that after the smelly fish married Ming's sister-in-law, he was responsible for a family of more than a dozen people to eat, drink, and dine. The sister-in-law will kill relatives righteously and find out the corruption of the stinky fish.

"Boss, believe me! I'm unintentional! I just want to sell those ingredients to help my family! Woohoo!" Stinky Fish Ming cried with tears and snot.

Before Shi Zhijian could speak, Sister Ming sneered: "It sounds better than singing! Who knows that you have embezzled so many good things just to do it? Shouldn't you take it to the ballroom to cheapen that female fairy named 'Tina'? I heard that she came back from studying in France, she knows how to dance a lot, and she fascinated many men in the ballroom!"

"Uh, you all know?" Stinky Yuming was taken aback and looked at his wife.

Sister-in-law Ming angrily smashed the vegetables in her hands into the water basin, splashing water: "How could I not know? During this time, you always secretly went to the dance hall behind my back. I followed you and saw that you gave money to that Tina. , and talked and laughed with her! Man, there is no good thing!"

After Mrs. Ming scolded, she saw that Shi Zhijian was still there, and added: "Of course, except for you, boss!"

Shi Zhijian figured it out, it turns out that Mrs. Ming's madness today is because the stinky fish Ming had an affair!

Smelly Yuming was scolded bloody, and he waved his hands quickly: "You have wronged me! You have wronged me! I have something to do with that Tina! You are the only one in my heart!"

"Bullshit! Then you put her money to do it? Do charity, or you have money and nowhere to spend?"

"I...I can't talk!" Stinky Yuming looked tangled.

"Haha, it's not that I can't talk, but I don't dare to talk about it! I'm afraid I will expose your fancy thoughts! I'll slap you in the street!" Sister Ming got up and picked up the water skirt and smashed it at the stinky fish, "You don't have the skills of Boss Shi, so you can Not a handsome boy like Boss Shi, but he still wants to learn from the boss and be a public lover! I'll beat your lungs! You don't pee and look in the mirror, how many pounds and a few taels yourself!"

Shi Zhijian was embarrassed to hear it next to him. Although he was very handsome and had a lot of gold, he couldn't use it to slap stinky Yuming in the face! The main two are not at the same level!

Stinky Yuming grimaced: "If you talk like this again, I'll tell the truth!"

"Tell me! But tell me, how did you fall in love with that little goblin?" Sister-in-law Ming akimbo, pointed at the smelly fish Ming's nose and said angrily.

"I'm not looking for Tina for myself, but for Huiyinghong!"

"Uh, for Ah Hong? What do you mean?" Sister Ming was stunned, but she was heartbroken about Hui Yinghong's little daughter.

"Little girl has been going to nightclubs to watch people dance during this time. She told me that I like dancing and want to learn to dance! You also know that the tuition for formal training courses is very expensive, and it costs three or four per month alone. Thousands of Hong Kong dollars! Learning from Tina is different, I just sell the ingredients and give her three or five hundred to teach Hong’er to dance!”

Sister-in-law Ming rolled her eyes: "You think I'm stupid, and find such a reason to lie to me?"

"I didn't lie to you! I'm telling the truth!" Stinky fish quickly explained, "I know you're very strict with Hong'er, and you want her to study hard so that she can get into a good school in the future. But she doesn't like reading, she is in school. She is always bullied by her classmates! Several times I have seen her secretly hiding in the corner to wipe her tears! But she is so happy when she dances, and I also think she is very talented!"

"You are a genius! What's the point of learning to dance?" Sister-in-law Ming said angrily.

"I knew you would say this, so I didn't dare to tell you! You usually take away all my salary, and even a few money for cigarettes! In order to help Hong'er find a teacher, I embezzled the ingredients!" After the smelly fish finished speaking, he looked at Shi Zhijian, "Boss, I'm telling the truth, you believe me!"

Shi Zhijian never expected that the cafeteria's "anti-corruption" would reveal so many secrets, so he couldn't help mediating: "Okay, Mrs. Ming! I believe that Brother Ming made an unintentional mistake this time! He embezzled the cafeteria's money and I will take it from his salary. Deduct it! As for A Hong... I remember that she is about twelve or thirteen years old. Since she doesn't want to go to school, find a better teacher for her to teach her to sing and dance---- the development of Hong Kong film and television will be very fast in the future. , girls who know how to sing and dance are very popular!"

"Uh, boss, what do you mean..." Before Mrs. Ming could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by stinky fish: "Don't you understand what boss means? Ah Hong likes to sing and dance, that is to be a big star. The talent! When the time comes to send it to the boss film company, it will definitely develop!"

Sister-in-law Ming looked at Shi Zhijian in disbelief~www.readwn.com~ Shi Zhijian did not explain, for him, Hui Yinghong and her brother Hui Tianci are both very good star seedlings, and when the time comes, just give them some opportunities. Whether they can help them rise to the top depends on them.

"Thank you boss! Thank you so much!" Sister-in-law Ming came back to her senses and was busy thanking Shi Zhijian.

Shi Zhijian smiled and joked: "If you really thank me, then help me make a bowl of shark fin bibimbap! I love your craftsmanship!"

"Okay, I'll do it!"

"I'm going to help make the fire!"

Stinky fish Ming and Ming's sister-in-law are very excited. With Shi Zhijian as a big backer, it will be difficult for Hui Yinghong to be underdeveloped in the future!

The couple went to make a fire to cook, but Shi Zhijian was bored and turned on the TV.

There is an advertisement on the TV, but it is a hair dye advertisement shot by Zeng Jiang, an old drama in the previous life. Zeng Jiang looks like a little boy with a white face on it, clasping his fists and saying: "Slowly turn black and get it, and immediately turn black and tan. Got it, got it!"

When I was feeling bored, the screen switched to the news channel, and the TV anchor announced loudly: "Today, with the approval of the British Parliament and the authorization of the Hong Kong British Government, the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption is about to be established!"

"Huh?" Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, "A small cafeteria has set off such a big storm when it is anti-corruption, not to mention the whole of Hong Kong?!"

Watching the TV again, as one of the initiators of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Sir Baili Qu appeared on the screen. He held a speech in front of the camera and vowed: "In the future, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will be the cornerstone of Hong Kong's social development! Your integrity! Self-discipline and active participation in anti-corruption prevention, coupled with the unbiased, impartial and selfless of our Independent Commission Against Corruption, will jointly build a new future for Hong Kong!"

In the end, Bailiqu put down the speech and stared at the camera: "The anti-corruption starts today! It starts with ICAC!"
