Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Li Zhaotian reached out and wiped the wipes, stared at Li Jiacheng and asked, "How is it, Boss Li, your answer is—"

Li Jiacheng picked up a peanut again and threw it into his mouth: "Money is a trivial matter, but what I'm curious about is whether the stake in the Wharf of the three major families is going to be sold to you?"

Li Zhaotian took a sip of the wine glass and said with a stern look, "Because if they don't sell it to me, they will turn into a pile of waste paper!"

"What's the meaning of this?"

"I took a dog, and that dog happened to be the boss of the Wharf Wharf. His subordinates rely on Wharf for food! If I order those people to strike, how long do you think Wharf can last?"

Li Jiacheng couldn't laugh anymore, and suddenly got up and said, "I want to go to the bathroom!"

Li Zhaotian smiled, got up and pointed at the female star Bai Xiaoman and said, "Are you still sitting and doing what? Didn't you hear, Boss Li is going to the bathroom, you support him!"

Li Jiacheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I'm not drunk again!"

Bai Xiaoman hesitated and refused to stand up. After all, she is also a star, a person of status and status, and she is not willing to do such a low-level thing with a guest to go to the bathroom to urinate!

When Li Zhaotian saw Bai Xiaoman sitting still, he smiled and walked over to grab Bai Xiaoman's hair!

Snapped!

Just slap her in the face!

Bai Xiaoman was stunned, his cheeks were blood red, and his eyes stared at Li Zhaotian who suddenly went wild.

Snapped!

Li Zhaotian slapped his backhand again!

The corner of Bai Xiaoman's mouth was directly beaten with blood!

Li Zhaotian stared at her and raised his slap again.

Bai Xiaoman squatted on the ground in horror.

Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng beside him were dumbfounded.

Shen Bi is a senior "gentleman" in the British Empire, and has never beaten a woman!

Li Jiacheng considers himself an "honest person", a "civilized person" who has inherited the fine traditions of China, and never hits women!

Li Zhaotian's outburst has gone beyond the two's cognition, especially Li Jiacheng's cognition. I don't know why, Li Zhaotian's mouth hit the woman's face, but Li Jiacheng felt a burning pain in his cheek!

After beating Bai Xiaoman, Li Zhaotian took up the wet towel and wiped his hands again, and said to Li Jiacheng with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! This girl thinks she is some kind of **** star, she's putting on an air and she doesn't know what's going on. , I thought I was amazing! Throwing you in the street, am I, Li Zhaotian, that kind of casual person?"

Li Jiacheng's face twitched a few times.

Li Zhaotian threw away the wet wipes in his hand and looked at Li Jiacheng with a smile again: "Boss Li, are you still going to the bathroom?"

Li Jiacheng shivered, sat down again and said, "Hey, it's amazing! I suddenly feel that I don't need it anymore!"

"Really? Then sit down and talk again!"

"What else are you talking about, of course it is my duty to Li Sheng if he needs me! Li Sheng also took care of me in the same way before, and of course I, Li, will give back to me!" Li Jiacheng stood and clasped his fists and vowed.

"Okay! Boss Li is indeed a man of temperament! I like it! Come on, let's raise a glass together and let's go!" Li Zhaotian raised his glass with arrogance.

...

As a prominent figure in Hong Kong, the obituary of Mr. Xu's death has been released, and many famous families have begun to act, preparing to offer condolences to Mr. Xu and send him his last journey.

Among them is the charter king's family who have a very good relationship with the Xu family.

The charter king came from a family of small merchants and was rich in knowledge.

At the beginning of 1949, the thirty-one-year-old charter king, together with his father, went to Hong Kong to explore the world with hundreds of thousands of savings.

At the beginning, I started a small business and accumulated some money, but what do I do next? The charter king remembered his childhood yearning for the sea, so he proposed the idea of ​​shipping.

His mother persuaded him to "run the boat and take the risk of three risks". To engage in shipping is to treat all assets as a bet. If you are not careful, you will go bankrupt.

My father believes that Hong Kong's shipping industry is already very developed and the competition is fierce, and the charter king is a complete stranger to shipping. Why should he operate shipping? But the charter king has made up his mind and is determined to seek development in the marine transportation industry.

While continuing to persuade his father and other family members, he learned about ships and shipping, and studied books on shipping and ships.

The charter king can finally realize his dream at sea! Although the journey was very difficult, he was 37 years old at the time.

At the beginning, the funds were not enough. With the assistance of friends, more than 700,000 US dollars were raised. The charter king made a special trip to the UK to buy back an old coal-fired cargo ship that has been in use for 28 years. The displacement is also only 8200 tons. Although the ship was very broken, the charter king, like a rare treasure, asked someone to refurbish and paint it and named it "Jin An". This ship was the beginning of his career.

Now he has been engaged in the shipping industry for almost fifteen years, from one ship to hundreds of ships, he has become one of the "Four Ship Kings in Hong Kong" with the same name as Zhao, Dong and Cao!

However, in the mind of the charter king, Mrs. Xu, the old boat king, is his idol, because Mrs. Xu has helped him many times, and even the first voyage of the chartered king was escorted by Mrs. Xu. He vaguely remembered that Mr. Xu said to those ship king tycoons who looked down on him, "Give more opportunities to young people!"

Thinking of this, the charter king sighed and turned his attention to the exit of the airport.

Although the charter king was the richest in the world, he had only a daughter and no son, so he always regarded his son-in-law as his own son.

His eldest daughter's husband is an Austrian, his name is "Sudivin", who is very good and very good. He only married his eldest daughter this year. After two days of marriage, he went to Egypt on business to help the newly established fleet of the Bao family get through. The sea route of the Suez Canal.

...

"Master, in fact, you don't have to pick up Mr. Su in person this time!" said Alu, the driver who was waiting for the charter king next to him. "Just let me come and pick up Mr. Su!"

"You don't understand, this time he went to Egypt to make a great contribution, and it was grand that I came to pick him up in person!"

"Yes, lord!" Alu felt that the lord was very kind to this foreign son-in-law.

At this moment, Sudivin, tall and well-dressed, walked out of the airport.

When he walked out of the airport, he adjusted his watch according to the Hong Kong time provided by the airport. The flight from Egypt to Hong Kong took almost 16 or 7 hours. He never rested on the plane, and used all the time to read the report.

For Sudivin, his Austrian status actually limits his status in the Bao family.

Chinese people are very traditional, and for Sudivine, this way of marriage is actually similar to what they call "incorporation". After joining the family, Su Diwen ostensibly took charge of the Bao's shipping industry, but in fact the real leader behind him was the charter king.

So he has to do better and work harder, and only then can he be recognized.

At this moment, the passengers who got off the plane with him walked out of the airport gate like water.

Outside the airport, under the illumination of bright street lights and various neon lights, people waiting to pick up the plane raised their feet or raised their hands to make a temporary pick-up card with the person being picked up.

"Master, Mr. Su is out!" The driver Alu pointed to Sudivin who was carrying the briefcase.

Su Diwen is tall and foreigner, with deep eyes and nose augmentation, and his silver hair looks very eye-catching.

The charter king smiled, "Why don't you raise the sign up quickly?"

"Okay!" Alu stood on tiptoe and raised the paper sign with all his might.

Su Diwen took a glance and saw it. He hurriedly walked over and came to the charter king. He was overjoyed and said, "Father, why are you here?"

Since Sudivine joined the family, he has learned all kinds of rules and etiquette very well.

"You've worked hard!" The charter king smiled happily.

To tell the truth, although the charter king was born from an extraordinary background and is not the kind of old-fashioned person, it is still difficult to change the traditional concept in the Chinese people's bones. People who are not from my race will have different hearts, but I have no choice but to say that my daughter likes other people. As a father, he doesn't have much to say.

However, Su Diwen's efforts for the Bao family during this period of time were also for his own eyes. He saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. At this moment, the sentence "You have worked hard" contains many emotions.

Sure enough, Sudivin's tired face suddenly showed a hint of joy, which was the joy recognized by the family helm.

"Father, you are very kind, no matter how hard it is to work for the company, it should be!"

The charter king nodded and motioned for Alu to help Sudivin carry the luggage and briefcase. He turned and walked side by side with Sudivin towards the place where the car was parked.

On the way, the charter king said slowly to Su Diwen, "Actually, in addition to seeing you this time, I have another important thing for you to do!"

"What's the matter? Please order!" Su Diwen has always been very clear about the separation of company and family affairs. He has always regarded himself as a subordinate in company affairs, often using the words "please instruct", while family affairs are often used. Words like "please say".

The charter king had to admit that he admired Sudivin very much.

Ghosts have always been arrogant and arrogant, and they pay attention to democracy and freedom. It is difficult to adapt to Chinese culture. There is only one person who is willing to lower his body like Su Diwen.

"Your Uncle Xu passed away, I want you to mourn instead of me!"

"Huh?" Sudivin froze for a moment, and immediately thought about the corners in his head.

"Father, is it not suitable for me to go?"

"Why is it inappropriate? You are my son-in-law Bao Yugang! In the future, you will be the heir of our Bao's enterprise, and you are not convinced?"

When Su Diwen heard this, his heart became hot, and he also understood the reason why the charter king asked him to do this. To put it bluntly, he explained to everyone his status in Bao's family and Bao's enterprise!

And this is what Sudivine has been looking forward to!

"Thank you, Father!" Sudivin couldn't hide his joy.

The charter king glanced at him and smiled: "In addition, this condolence is very important, you have to replace our Bao family to make a friend!"

"Uh, make friends?" Su Diwen was slightly startled. In his impression, the people who could be valued by the charter king and take the initiative to make friends were either dignitaries or young talents.

"You have to leave more snacks, this time is very important, it is related to the shipping business of our Pao Corporation, and to be precise, it is related to the future of Wharf!" There was a trace of worry on the charter king's face.

Sudivin rarely sees the charter king showing such an expression, and his spirit is shocked.

The three families of the Bao family, the Huo family and the Xu family control 30% of the shares of Wharf in the market. Although Jardine Matheson does not want Chinese capital to take power, the Bao family and others have always been eyeing the Wharf. Could it be that this time What's going on at Wharf?

Seemingly aware of Sudivin's expression, the charter king came to the car door at this time, and Alu helped to open the car door.

The charter king did not get in the car immediately, but reached out and took out the newspaper he had read for a long time in the car, and handed it to Sudivin himself: "As for the specifics, you can see it!"

Su Diwen looked puzzled, took the newspaper and glanced at it, and his face changed instantly.

Looking at the report on the newspaper in hand---

"How could this be!" Sudivin couldn't hide his surprise.

Seeing Su Diwen's astonishment, the charter king seemed very calm, "Someone is behind the scenes and wants to take over the Wharf, so they made such a big show!"

Sudivin put his eyes on the newspaper again, and saw the headline on the front page read: "Eating is not easy, the wharf riots!"

The subtitle is: Wages have not risen for three years, and the Wharf has been filled with blood and sweat! Jardine Matheson only cares about its own brain full of fat, ignoring the heartache and blood tears of Chinese workers! Thousands of rioters marched, writing a new chapter in Hong Kong!

Then there was a large photo of thousands of Chinese workers at Wharf marching on the streets holding banners "Request a raise" and "We want to survive".

Hong Kong at this time is different from the past. After experiencing various struggles in the 1950s, especially after the Kowloon riots in the past two or three years, the entire British Hong Kong government is in a state of shock and is most sensitive to demonstrations. The British government will immediately dispatch the police force to intervene, strangling any flames that endanger the stability of the situation in the cradle.

Therefore, in recent years, it is rare to see such large-scale news about demonstrations in newspapers and magazines. What is even more strange is that the British Hong Kong government did not take the initiative to stop it. This shows a situation. Thousands of people marched and demonstrated. There is a big guy behind the scenes, and this big guy's energy is enough to influence the British Hong Kong government's decision on this matter!

Thinking of this, Sudivin finally understood why the charter king showed such a trace of worry on his face.

Now there is a riot in Wharf, and the workers' strike is bound to affect the share price of Wharf. According to the newspaper, the share price of Wharf has fallen by 30%, and it is still in the "early stage" of the decline! Just kidding, the stock price will be next to the floor if it falls!

Bao's and others' holding 30% of Wharf's equity is a large investment, and they are willing to turn it into a blank page?

And to create such a chaotic situation, there are only a few big families in Hong Kong that can control the British Hong Kong government. Apart from a few ghost families, then only the famous Lee family is left!

For the Lee family, they have always been engaged in people's livelihood projects and real estate purchases. Sima Zhao's ambition to win the Wharf this time can be said to be the heart of Sima Zhao. Everyone knows that it is absolutely necessary to kick the three major families out of the game and replace them, so as to win the Wharf and control the port trade. At the same time, it opened up channels for their family's real estate business.

You must know that since the Wharf moved eastward, the land near the Wharf has become a fragrant pastry, and the nearby port cannot be prosperous.

How to say that sentence, the emperor takes turns to do it, come to my house next year!

For the Lee family, since the relocation of the Wharf, a new chapter will be opened, and the owner of the money should be replaced!

Thinking of this, Su Diwen took a deep breath and looked at the charter king: "Could it be that the person behind is... Li Zhaotian?"

The shipwreck king had his hands behind his back and nodded lightly.

Sudivin couldn't help sighing when he saw this.

Li Zhaotian made it clear that he wanted Bao, Xu and Huo to hand over the shares of Wharf, otherwise the shares of Wharf would be turned into a pile of waste paper.

He added, "So this time we're going to find someone to deal with him!"

"Anyone can oppose him?" Sudivin asked in surprise.

The charter king smiled and spit out three words: "Shi Zhijian!"

For the charter king to make such a decision is also helpless.

First, Li Zhaotian is the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. If he is evil, he will inevitably be wearing small shoes.

Shi Zhijian is different. Shi Zhijian has always been dismissive of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and even only joined the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce.

Second, the Lee family can be described as a super family in Hong Kong in this era, because behind the backing of the Hong Kong British government, they used to be domineering, not to mention the Pao family, Xu family and Huo family have business dealings with them, the Chinese people pay attention to harmony and make money~www.readwn. com~ It is not advisable to fight infighting.

Shi Zhijian is different, he has always had a good time with Li Zhaotian.

The third and most important point is that this time Ricci is backed by the super-big HSBC Bank, not to mention that the three major families “owe” a lot of money to HSBC, and even Jardine Matheson, the parent behind the Wharf, was not spared. A full 20% of Wharf's equity is pledged to HSBC.

This time, HSBC is willing to support Li Zhaotian to make it clear that it is cutting the tail of Jardine Matheson. In addition, Jardine Matheson has suffered serious losses in recent years and is overwhelmed. Maybe it will really give up the car and keep the handsome man cheaper.

However, Shi Zhijian is different. Shi Zhijian has rarely dealt with such big banks since he started his business. He is simply depositing and depositing some money at Standard Chartered HSBC. Even before the loan, it was the Far East Bank, a Chinese bank owned by Qiu Degen, not to mention that the loan has been repaid long ago. , and it is said that there are more than 30 million on hand! Enough chips!

In addition to the above three points, there are other reasons why Bao, Xu and Huo are unwilling to intervene in this matter.

In the 1950s and early 1960s, during the wartime and the early 1960s, Pao and Fok publicly supported the mainland to transport supplies for the mainland, which disgusted the British Hong Kong government, which has always been sanctioned by the British Hong Kong government. So far, the "sanction order" has not been lifted. Shi wanted to go ashore but could not get it.

However, the Xu family suddenly changed, and the deceased was the most important. Or at present, the Xu family has not elected a new owner to preside over the overall situation.

With such a calculation, it seems that there is no one else except Shi Zhijian who is rich and free at this time and dares to do the right thing with Li Zhaotian!

But the question is, can Shi Zhijian win Li Zhaotian? !

a super tycoon,

A fledgling,

Clearly not at the same level!
