Chapter 177: Imagination
Give a reason first?
To tell the truth, when Li Huayong heard Boss Huo say such things, he felt crooked in his heart.
He said in his heart, can you bigwigs have some new ideas if you want to pretend to be forced? In the words of later generations, can you pretend to be a little fresher?
This time, I proposed to let Lao Chang be in charge of the general operation to deal with the elder Liu, I don't believe you haven't discussed it before, and it's already at this time, I believe you must have made a decision. Okay, can you give a sentence accurately, is it interesting to ask this kind of broken question again at this time?
Of course, Li Huayong's heart is crooked, and he still looks respectful on the surface. After all, no matter how you say it, for Lin Wei's sake, a few people in front of him can be regarded as elders, aren't they?
"Well, I recommend him because he's a good chess player. ”
After saying such a sentence in a hurry, Li Huayong was very satisfied with himself. Yes, Li Huayong is very satisfied. He thought of asking Lao Chang for help at that time, of course, Lao Chang in real history is a bull, but the future cow is not equal to the current cow, not to mention his opponent this time, Lao Liu, no matter what the character of this person is, he is also a bull in the field of stocks, so to say that Li Huayong is sure that Lao Chang can win, it is absolutely blind.
It's funny to say, Li Huayong's only source of confidence is actually because he often plays chess, and he is a chess master. And the trading in the stock market, there should be a lot of reasoning with the chess road, so Li Huayong's answer to Huo Boss should be regarded as telling the truth from his heart.
However, Li Huayong's sincere words from the heart, the three bigwigs reacted differently when they heard it.
Boss Huo was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes and looked at Li Huayong with a smile, no one knew what he was thinking.
Lao Hu was also laughing, but after laughing, he was thoughtful, and then he forgave Li Huayong equally seriously.
Only Lin Xiaotian didn't smile, only to see his face sink: "Nonsense!"
Li Huayong didn't react to Lin Xiaotian's "nonsense", but scared Lin Wei, who was eavesdropping next door, half to death. Seeing that Lin Wei's face was not good-looking, Lin Yinghu, who was eavesdropping with her, was amused;
It's a pity that Lianhua, a stupid girl, doesn't know that there is a term for "calf protection" in Chinese. ”
In the living room, Lin Xiaotian began to reprimand Li Huayong: "What kind of mess is this, this is the reason you gave?!......?"
Li Huayong looked at his nose and nose, and carefully studied the floor of Lin Wei's living room, while the other two bigwigs didn't know what was going on, and they didn't say a word when Lin Xiaotian was talking.
Lin Xiaotian spoke for about 5 minutes, and then waved his hand: "Go." ”
So in this way, Li Huayong stayed inside for about less than 10 minutes, he said a word, was given a lecture, and then was driven out by the three bigwigs.
After Li Huayong came to the next door, Lin Wei didn't have time to "comfort" Li Huayong, but he saw Li Huayong and Lin Yinghu looking at each other and smiling, laughing inexplicably.
"You guys, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, let's go. ”
Li Huayong and the others left, and in the living room, the three bigwigs sat quietly for a while, and Boss Huo was the first to speak, only to see him say to himself:
"Is he a good chess player? Hehe, this young boy is really a wonderful person. ”
Lin Xiaotian didn't have the strength to reprimand Li Huayong just now, he and Lao Hu glanced at each other, and there was a smile in their eyes at the same time.
"Xiao Hu, what do you think?" Boss Huo suddenly asked Lao Hu again.
"He's a wonderful man, and I think he's good enough for that. ”
"So it's decided?"
Lin Xiaotian and Lao Hu glanced at each other again, and the two nodded at the same time. Lao Hu opened his mouth and said:
"This is bullied by others, I have long wanted to fight this battle, I think it will be fought no matter what! The tiger is not powerful, and we are really sick cats." ”
After Lao Hu said this, the room fell silent again, and everyone seemed to be waiting for Boss Huo to make a final decision. A minute later, Boss Huo finally spoke, only to see a gleam in his eyes:
"Okay, everyone has their chips ready, and since someone wants to fight us, let's play with them. Xiao Hu is right, Lao Hu hasn't been powerful for a long time, and now someone really treats us as sick cats. Hmm, Xiaotian, I see you look thoughtful, what are you thinking?"
Lin Xiaotian said: "I have no opinion on fighting, but this scale is not easy to control, I don't know if a small world will become another Wharf in the end." ”
Hearing Lin Xiaotian mention "Wharf", the room fell silent again. Another minute passed, and Boss Huo seemed to have made up his final mind:
"Fight! Even if it becomes another Wharf, this battle must be fought!"
There are two flowers, one on each branch. After Li Huayong and others left Repulse Bay, Lin Yinghu left under the pretext of leaving Li Huayong and Lin Wei alone.
"Lotus, go, go shopping with me. ”
Considering that Li Huayong had just been "reprimanded", Lin Wei smiled sweetly at Li Huayong:
"Okay, huh, don't you hate shopping the most?"
"I just hate to help you as a clothes rack, let's change places today. ”
"And where do you want to go?"
"Causeway Bay. ”
Causeway Bay is also located on the main island of Hong Kong, and many mainlanders know this place, probably because of the famous movie "Crazy Boy Series", and the protagonist Chen Haonan is the "handle" of this place. In Hong Kong, in addition to the "Central", "Eastern", "Western" and Kowloon side of Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay is also a relatively prosperous area. Walking through the streets of Causeway Bay, Li Huayong looked around with great interest, comparing the differences between this era and later generations.
"Well, the place where I am standing now should be the famous Times Square in the future, right? It's a pity that there is not even a shadow ...... now."
"Yong, what are you thinking?"
"Ahem, I'm thinking," Li Huayong gestured with his hands: "Well, I think this location is very good, Lotus, you said that if you build a large shopping center in this place, what do you think?"
Lin Wei didn't doubt it, she smiled and said to Li Huayong: "Then you can only think about it, this is the territory of Wharf." ”
Hearing Lin Wei mention Wharf, Li Huayong was thoughtful.
In this era, the Wharf of Xiangjiang is not too famous, and even the story about it has become a legend in the business community of Xiangjiang in this era. Because this story involves two iconic figures in the business world of Xiangjiang, the charter boat king and Li Chaoren.
In the 70s, in Hong Kong, it was widely recognized that the four most abundant British foreign banks were Jardine Matheson, Swire, HSBC and Hutchison, and "Hutchison" was the "Hutchison Whampoa" that later belonged to Li Chaoren, but at the very beginning, Li Chaoren's first target was Wharf, the main flagship of the Jardine Group.
Li Chaoren adopted the tactics of being quiet and unexpected, and sent people to disperse and secretly buy a large number of Wharf shares, with the result that the stock price of Wharf soared from more than 10 yuan to more than 50 yuan in just a few months. Wharf Group sensed that the general situation was not good, and immediately deployed an anti-takeover operation, buying a large number of shares of Wharf held by retail investors in the market. and put pressure on Li Chaoren through HSBC Bank, asking Li Chaoren not to buy Wharf.
At that time, Li Chaoren's strength was not enough, and he retreated in the face of pressure from all sides. However, at this time, a bull man who was better than Li Chaoman in this era appeared, that is, the chairman of the Chinese-funded consortium with strong funds, the charter ship king, who was also in the idea of Wharf.
When Li Chaoren learned the news, he took the initiative to transfer about 20% of the shares of Wharf to the charter king, which not only avoided a head-on conflict with the close-knit HSBC, but also enabled the Chinese-funded consortium of the charter ship king to smoothly obtain control of the nine warehouses. Later, in exchange, the charter king transferred all the shares of another old British foreign company Hutchison Whampoa held in his hand to Li Chaoren, so that he would later become the owner of Huang Fu.
In this story, how Li Superman is good at dancing with long sleeves Li Huayong ignores for the time being. What really impressed him was the scene when the charter king finally completely won the controlling stake in Wharf.
At that time, the competition was also very fierce, and the focus was still on retail investors. In order not to be acquired, the original Wharf Group raised the stock price to more than 70 yuan. The charter king was even more ruthless, he directly raised the price to 100 yuan, and used cash to make an open purchase for retail investors.
It was such a simple and crude method that allowed the charter king to get a controlling stake in Wharf.
Will today's "world real estate" become another Wharf? Li Huayong has a lot of thoughts.
