Chapter 42: The Idle Man

Han Daoben finally understood the reason why Ouyang Wenhui never forgot it, the world is really big, judging from Han Daoben's more than ten years of production experience, these sisters are simply tailor-made by God for the entertainment industry, and they definitely have the potential of a red and transparent fragrance.

However, listening to Ouyang Wenhui's meaning, these two girls lack interest in such a good thing as acting in a movie, and they are simply tyrannical creatures, but it is a pity that such stunners are actually from the mainland, even if Han Daoben has the means to reach the sky in the Hong Kong Island area, it will not help.

After all, it was a character who was used to seeing all kinds of beautiful women in the rouge circle all day long, and he cleared his throat to remind the stunned subordinates beside him, and Han Daoben's distraction lasted for seven or eight seconds before he returned to normal.

Since they planned to go through the procedure, the words on both sides could not be counted, and the two groups divided into two groups and took the elevator straight to the 16th floor where Norton Roche was located.

Generally speaking, in addition to the death of the bottom as cannon fodder, many real community bosses have a very good relationship with people in the legal profession, and overseas, the relationship between lawyers and underworld societies is described from a certain perspective or even symbiosis and co-prosperity.

After all, Hong Kong in the 80s was under the rule of the British colonial government in Hong Kong, and the influence of an old pure British law firm like Roche on Hong Kong's legal profession is far stronger than that of Chinese law firms.

With the lawyer's extensive knowledge of the dispute, the dispute between Liang Yuan and Ouyang Wenhui was not strange, and it only took one minute for the duty lawyer in charge of reception to summarize the problem between the two people as an economic dispute mainly based on lost work expenses.

According to the law firm's common practice, if there is no familiar lawyer friend or personal legal assistant, the duty lawyer will be responsible for defending either Liang Yuan or Ouyang Wenhui.

"Your firm's Senior Counsel, Sir Christ Pao King-chi, is not there? Han Daoben said in stammering English and the duty lawyer.

Senior Counsel is known as the "Big Case" by Hong Kong people. In the eyes of Hong Kong people, it is a symbol of power and reputation, and many of the legal stories in Hong Kong films and television that can turn the clouds upside down, turn black and white upside down, or defend justice are mostly taken from the life facts of senior counsel.

In the management structure of the British colonial government in Hong Kong, senior counsel has touched on the formulation of certain rules and systems for the operation of society, and can barely be regarded as the ruling class behind the scenes of Hong Kong society.

As a top figure in the industry, Bao Jingzhi in Han Daoben's mouth obviously has special preferential treatment in the law firm, although he knew that Han Daoben, who took the initiative to come to the door, and Bao Jingzhi were only general acquaintances, the duty lawyer still immediately called the clerk to lead Han Daoben and Ouyang Wenhui to the depths of the law firm.

Faced with the question of whether the lawyer in front of him could reach the entrustment, Liang Yuan scratched his hair with some embarrassment, although he has never been a good bird in his two lives, he really has never had the experience of going to the court because of a purely private dispute.

I borrowed a quiet meeting room from the law firm. Liang Yuan took the incomparably large Motorola mobile phone that Weng Chengji carried.

"94321000 is Mr. Qi's mobile phone number in Hong Kong. Ning Wanjia looked at Liang Yuan and weighed the phone in her hand and was silent. I know that someone has probably forgotten the Hong Kong mobile phone number of Qilian Mountain.

At present, the mobile phone representing the high-end atmosphere is more than a pound, the size is similar to the ordinary red brick, and the weight is a few points heavier than the standard hollow brick used in later buildings, and the title of brick is worthy of the name.

In addition, the analog signal used by mobile phones at this time was all used. Disconnection or something is simply commonplace. Mobile phones in this era had to be dialed on the move to improve signal quality. If the orientation is not good, the call process is basically the same as yelling.

Holding a black brick bigger than his face to swagger through the market, he also has to consider the feng shui orientation to protect his throat when answering the phone, which Liang Yuan, who is used to using wireless headphones, can't bear it anyway.

For personal communication devices at this time. Liang Yuan had an attitude of being out of sight and out of mind, whether it was a pager or a phone call, he simply abandoned it.

Liang Yuan's reluctance to carry personal communication tools made Yuanjia's senior management suffer, and during the Chinese New Year, Liu Wenyue could only take people to the train station to block Liang Yuan.

Fortunately, at present, Liang Yuan is going abroad, and there is either Liang Haiping or a conference-level boss at Yuanjia University, if he encounters an urgent emergency, he will eventually catch Liang Yuan's figure if he makes a round of phone calls.

"Lao Qi, I'm Liang Yuan. ”

"Didn't you go to Lamma Island with the leader today, why did you think of calling me?" Qi Lianshan's voice was full of ridicule.

The two girls have been in Hong Kong for more than a month, and it happened that Liang Yuan was planning to see Jaws, not to mention seeing the great white shark, and even the shopping was under the care of Wilson Xiong, and the rest of the time could only stay at the Mandarin Hotel to accompany Liang Yuan to deal with the mountains of information and literature.

For Ning Wanjia, this kind of day is very happy, but in Ning Wanfei's opinion, this trip to Hong Kong is simply boring, and the witch head has no choice but to take Liang Yuan himself as fun, not only dressing exactly the same as Ning Wanjia every day, but even changing the headdress into a bow.

As a result, Liang Yuan had a miserable time during this time, and it has become commonplace to be chased and beaten all over the ground after touching the wrong person or kissing the wrong person, and someone even re-experienced the tragic experience of being blocked in the toilet by the female devil when he was a child.

A few days ago, Xiong Weixin finally promised that the three of them could go out together today, and the twins were afraid that there would be any accidents, but they grabbed Liang Haiping and Qi Lianshan and asked about their recent itinerary, so as not to let Liang Yuan use these two people as a pretense to repay the debt.

Qi Lianshan came to the Mandarin Hotel for a meeting every day these days, and it was precisely because he knew this cause and effect in detail that he was surprised to receive a call from Liang Yuan at this time.

"Lao Qi, it's hard to explain this matter, is the group's legal affairs in Hong Kong now under the responsibility of Niu Bijian?" asked Liang Yuan.

"Yes, we already know that we have reached an agreement with Deutsche Bank on the acquisition of Hongkong Land, and last month I discussed with Mr. Leung that it would be very appropriate for the former Jardine Matheson Taipan to do the pre-acquisition legal preparations. ”

No one knew that the ultimate goal of this return to Hong Kong was for Hongkong Land or even Jardine Matheson.

Unlike Ma Shimin, who is currently the chief executive of Hutchison Whampoa, Ma Shimin realized that Jardine Matheson was going further and further down the wrong path. After realizing that something could not be done, he voluntarily resigned and left the Jardine Group, but Niu Bijian was swept away by Jardine Matheson's facelessness.

The year after Nicholas left Hong Kong, Mr. Ma took over as Chief Executive Officer of Hutchison Whampoa, and he led Hutchison Whampoa into a golden era of rapid development.

Niu Bijian and Ma Shimin have similar ideas and have worked together in Jardine Matheson for more than ten years, although in the end Niu Bijian took over as Jardine Matheson, but the ending was extremely embarrassing.

Seeing that his old rival was doing a good job in Hutchison Whampoa, how could he not be touched at all, although he had doubts about the financial strength of this company, called Hong Kong United Trust Company Limited. Niu Bijian still persuaded his wife to return to Hong Kong Island.

When Qi Lianshan informed Nubikin United Trust that it had agreed to acquire the shares of Hongkong Land. After reaching an agreement with the Hong Kong branch of Deutsche Bank, Niubijian was ecstatic, and the economic strength of Deutsche Bank goes without saying, in the opinion of Niubijian. Once funding is not an issue. There is a former helmsman like himself who knows all kinds of things about Jardine. The acquisition of Hongkong Land has been successful in 80%.

Realizing that he was expected to be right, he burst out with great enthusiasm for work, and it took him half a month to compare his memories with the information publicly disclosed by Jardine Matheson at this time. A list of nearly 100 minority shareholders holding Hongkong Land's shares was listed, and Liang Haiping and Qi Lianshan approached in advance in the name of starting the Asian Development Bank's business.

According to Nubijian's estimates, the cumulative share of Hongkong Land in the hands of these people has been close to 20%, and once the takeover war starts, Yuanjia can absorb about 20% of the public shares from the market should be the limit, and these large retail investors are likely to become the key factor affecting Yuanjia's entry into the land.

It was the extremely meticulous and dedicated work of Niu Bijian that made Liang Haiping and Qi Lianshan slowly recognize this blue-eyed and Huafa foreign colleague and began to gradually hand over the core content of the work in hand.

In addition to the day-to-day operations of the Hong Kong United Trust, Nubjian also manages the public relations and legal affairs of the Asian Development Bank, which not only provides a necessary foundation for corporate mergers and acquisitions, but also has a huge influence on the final outcome of the acquisition.

"When I encountered some unexpected circumstances, I was in a lawsuit with someone else at Norton Rose Law Firm, and Lao Qi called Niu Bijian to borrow the group's lawyers in Hong Kong. Liang Yuan said helplessly.

"Wait a while, I can get to Roche Law Firm in fifteen minutes at most. ”

Although Liang Yuan has been emphasizing that it is not a big deal, Qi Lianshan himself does not need to come, but how can a workplace elite like Qi Lianshan take Liang Yuan's shirking words seriously.

Before it took fifteen minutes, a series of hurried footsteps sounded from the porch outside the room, and when Weng Chengji opened the door, Liang Haiping, Qi Lianshan, and Niu Bijian all appeared at the door of the room.

Several Norton Roche staff members followed behind Newbijian and said sorry to Newbikin's secretary.

Liang Haiping knew Liang Yuan's temperament and left the secretary and others outside the door, and only entered the room with Qi Lianshan and Niu Bijian.

Seeing Liang Yuan and the two girls as usual and without any abnormality, Liang Haiping let out a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart fell to the ground completely.

"Don't listen to Xiaoyuan's nonsense in the future, next time you don't have your Uncle Xiong with you, Xiaoyuan won't think about going out. Liang Haiping said.

Some time ago, Tang Wan was very dissatisfied with Liang Yuan going to the airport to pick up the airport alone, and after returning to China, she deliberately mentioned this matter to Liang Haiping, with Liang Yuan's casual temperament, how could she endure the presence of bodyguards in suits and leather shoes from time to time in front of and behind her, and the two girls were impatient to be stared at when they were with Liang Yuan, but under the strong encouragement of the three of them, Liang Haiping compromised.

Although nothing happened, Liang Yuan knew that Liang Haiping was a little frightened at this time, and now was not a good opportunity to bargain, so he grinned and set his eyes on Niu Bijian.

However, Qi Lianshan had a look in his eyes and changed the topic in time, and asked, "How can Da Shao have the leisure to take care of such a small role." ”

Fifteen minutes was enough for Qi Lianshan and the others to know the ins and outs of the whole thing from Norton Roche's side.

"Not long after the three of us arrived in Lamma, Aunt Ning called Uncle Weng and said that she would come over later, and I guess Aunt Ning was tempted by my mention a while ago. ”

"On the way back, I happened to meet Ouyang Wenhui when I got off the boat at the Central Pier, I was still thinking, this guy is really good to be an idler, but I didn't expect to dig a pit casually, this guy jumped in with great cooperation. Liang Yuan said with a chuckle. (To be continued......)
