Chapter 365 [Call from the Old Man]
The next day, Charlie Chen received a phone call from Hua Tianxiong, telling him that if he could, he hoped to sign the contract within three days, and it was best to have the president of SM Company come to Hong Kong in person.
Charlie Chen put down the phone and knew that the plan was half successful, so he called Chen Tianlang.
Chen Tianlang only said one sentence, "Everything went according to plan." ”
Three days later, Li Xuan'er arrived in Hong Kong from Seoul, South Korea, and Charlie Chen and Hua Tianxiong held a grand signing ceremony at the Hilton Hotel in Hong Kong.
On the day the news was announced, Kirin Pharmaceutical's stock rose 7.65 percent to 23 yuan. At this time, Hua Tianxiong immediately used the little money he had on hand to start absorbing the shares of Kirin Pharmaceutical, and Li Xuan'er also began to absorb this stock under the instruction of Charlie Chen. Chen Tianlang himself also invested 700 million yuan in his remaining funds to continue to absorb.
The next day, Kirin Pharmaceuticals rose 9 percent again.
At the same time, under the planning of Hua Tianxiong, the Kirin Group entrusted people everywhere in the Hong Kong press. Suddenly a chorus of applause filled the river, and although some newspapers resisted it instinctively and cautiously, these calm tones were silently covered by the overwhelming chorus of carols.
On the third day, Kirin Pharmaceutical rose by 10.3% again. Hong Kong's press and financial circles suddenly became more interested in this stock, and there were many hot comments.
On the fourth day, Kirin Pharmaceutical sang all the way, rising 9.5% again.
Many Hong Kong citizens flocked to the stock exchange and began to snap up Kirin Pharmaceutical. The press used the words "unprecedented" to describe the scene.
At this time, Chen Tianlang already owned about 27.4 percent of the shares of Kirin Pharmaceutical, Li Xuan'er had 3.6 percent, Kirin Group owned 29.3 percent, Kirin Industrial owned 13.7 percent, and Hua Tianxiong himself owned 9.2 percent.
As a result, 83.2 percent of the stocks in the hands of the four people have actually reached 83.2 percent, and only 16.8 percent of the stocks circulating in the market are available.
At this time, Chen Tianlang and Li Xuan'er almost ran out of funds in their hands, so they stopped absorbing and waited for the stock to continue to rise.
Peter Li also persuaded Hua Tianxiong, who had invested more than 2 billion yuan in private funds and the group's funds, to stop absorbing stocks and wait for the stock price to rise, but he was eager to lose hundreds of millions of yuan in building houses in Shenzhen and was eager to use the last billion yuan of funds in his hand to continue to grab the remaining 10 percent of the stocks with those small and medium-sized retail investors in Hong Kong.
In addition to the eagerness to make back his lost money from the stock market, another reason why Hua Tianxiong was forced to do such a reckless act was Li Kangtian of Hong Kong's Eastern Star Society.
After the popularity of the Xiang brothers was sluggish, the entire New Ngee An was also monitored by the police, and the momentum suddenly plummeted.
At this time, how could the Eastern Star boss Li Kangtian be crawled on his head by the Xiang brothers for ten years, so how could he miss this opportunity? .
On the day when the news of the cooperation between Kirin Pharmaceutical and SM Company was announced, Li Kangtian released thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, and it took less than ten hours in one night to defeat the disheartened Xin Yi'an, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back, so he had to flee in the wilderness.
The fire was in full swing from 9 p.m. on September 24, 1995, to 7 a.m. the next morning, when people woke up, they saw a quiet, peaceful and prosperous Hong Kong.
Only the bloodstains hidden in some corners and ignored by the unwary proclaimed to the world the thrilling battle of last night.
Because the battle was born during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Kangtian proudly turned this battle into the "Mid-Autumn Festival"!
Since then, Chen Tianlang has no intention of inserting willows, and Li Kangtian, who has single-handedly supported him, has created the "Eastern Star Era" in Hong Kong in the next few years, until 1997.
Just when Kirin Pharmaceutical was enjoying its glory in the stock market, Hua Tianxiong was actually very worried in his heart, because with the weakness of the Xiang brothers and the rise of Li Kangtian, his reliance on the community had almost been lost.
Such a situation made Hua Tianxiong, who has always been arrogant and domineering and unscrupulous, feel a crisis. In the past, as the backer of the Xiang brothers, he had always been a remote command to do some things that could be seen, but now, many things need to be done by him personally. And Li Kangtian of the Eastern Star is not a character who can be handled casually, let alone for his own use, and a parliamentarian like Ma Jiahua is basically an egoist, and he will never intervene to help when it is not good for him, who else can he rely on now?
"At the moment, the only thing I can rely on is my money, and Li SIR. Hua Tianxiong thought in his heart.
It was precisely under this psychological drive that Hua Tianxiong rarely rejected Peter Li's proposal and continued to irrationally buy all the stocks on the market at a high price of more than 30 yuan.
For a time, Kirin Pharmaceutical's stock soared all the way, and the rise was unstoppable.
……
The time came to October 13, 1995.
This day was Chen Tianlang's twenty-second birthday, but at this time he had completely forgotten about it.
Except for the stock price of Kirin Pharmaceutical, which was displayed on the information at hand, Chen Tianlang almost didn't remember anything.
At this time, the phone next to him rang.
As soon as Chen Tianlang answered, he heard a voice from there-
"Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday ......"
The gentle melodious singing voice remembered in Chen Tianlang's ears, so that Chen Tianlang suddenly didn't remember anything, even the stock price of Kirin Pharmaceutical.
Chen Tianlang was stunned for a moment, and a familiar and unfamiliar female voice came from the other end, "What's the matter, Chen Tianlang, you don't remember me, I'm going to be angry, you even forgot me!"
"Remember, how could I not remember you, just...... Xia Qing, why did you call me suddenly. Chen Tianlang had a face in his mind that was not pretty, but very youthful.
Xia Qing, the girl who pursued herself in her hometown small city, the girl who gave herself mosquito coils in the middle of the night, and the girl who helped her clean the game hall together and liked to blow bubble gum.
There was a burst of laughter like silver bells on the other side of the phone, "What's the matter, could it be that you are a big man now, and even I can't call you?" Xia Qing obviously didn't know that Chen Tianlang was really a great "big man" now, and said in a slightly joking tone. "I got your phone number from Kong Yueyuan, I heard that you are very powerful now, and you are a well-known self-employed person in Nandu--- but what are you doing in Hong Kong? Oh, I know, are you traveling, I remember when you were a child, you liked to watch Hong Kong TV dramas the most, what "Huo Yuanjia", "Chen Zhen", "Wu Zetian", how is it, have you met a big star you know in Hong Kong?"
Chen Tianlang said in his heart that not only did he meet, but he also called a group of people brothers, and said: "Hong Kong, many people want to come and see it." ”
"Yes, yes, I also want to go to Hong Kong, but unfortunately, I don't mix well in the capital, and I don't even have the money to go to Hong Kong, alas!" Xia Qing sighed over there, and suddenly said, "But I won't give up, I must be a star! By the way, I recently filmed a drama, which is a costume drama, called "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo". ”
"Hey, this drama is so powerful, but which one is you?" Chen Tianlang couldn't remember that there was Xia Qing's shadow in that play.
"That drama hasn't been filmed yet, I heard that it won't be broadcast until next year, why do you seem to have seen it?" Xia Qing said in surprise.
"No, no, I just ...... Uh-ha, curious about what role you play in it. Chen Tianlang hurriedly snorted.
"Oh, I'm playing a maid in it, and it's only three or two shots, but I'm pretty satisfied. By the way, I still have a line, 'Miss, you better go first', but it's a pity that my name is not on the cast. The tone was a little plaintive.
Seeing this, Chen Tianlang asked, "Do you need my help?"
"What?"
"I mean, if you want to be a star, I can help you. ”
Xia Qing was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed, "You're so good, Tianlang." I know you're making me laugh, but it's good that you have the heart. It's not easy for you to be a self-employed person, so let's take good care of your family after making more money!"
Chen Tianlang saw that the other party didn't believe these words, so he didn't say anything more.
"By the way, now Kong Yueyuan is also in the capital, she is better than me, she actually found a relationship and became the head of a film and television company, hey, hey, I will have to scold her in the future and let her give resources!" Xia Qing's mouth was full of discomfort.
Chen Tianlang smiled and did not speak. It's just that I didn't expect Kong Yueyuan to choose the film and television industry in the end, and then think about it, the film and television industry in the mainland will indeed be very powerful in the future, and many people will emerge in this era, and after 2000, they will become big bosses in entertainment. It seems that this Kong Yueyuan is not only beautiful, but also very brainy.
"Are you thinking that she is very beautiful and smart, and I can't compare to her?" Xia Qing suddenly asked on the other end of the phone.
Chen Tianlang was taken aback, and almost screamed, this girl can read minds?
"Alas, in fact, I also know that I am not beautiful, but I have a daydream of being a star, and I am not too young to say it, I am in my twenties, and I am still doing Beijing drifting...... But if I don't succeed, I really don't have the face to go home, you know, my mother doesn't nag me to death like that, and my dad will definitely laugh at me. Xia Qing said.
Chen Tianlang wanted to comfort her, but couldn't find the words.
Xia Qing on the other side of the phone said, "Okay, I won't tell you these unhappy things." Shall I sing you the birthday song again? But I can only sing it quietly, and now I'm hiding in the bathroom, and a stinky director asks me to accompany the drink, and I sneak out. These stinky men, none of them are kind, the old lady is average, and they were pulled out by them, and I will definitely clean them up when I become famous in the future!"
Chen Tianlang was speechless, this is Xia Qing's style.
Then Xia Qing sang softly again, "I wish you a ......happy birthday!
These monotonous melodies sounded almost heavenly to Chen Tianlang, and he felt that all the fatigue of these days had dissipated.
"Tianlang, are you still there?"
"Of course!"
"Then why don't you even have a sound to breathe?"
"I'm holding my breath to hear you sing. ”
"I see, so do I sing well?"
"It's not good, it's just heavenly, I've never heard such a beautiful song in my life!"
"I can't believe you would say such a flattering thing. Xia Qing said this on his mouth, but his face was smiling like a flower.
"Of course it's not a boast, it's definitely true!"
"Okay!" Xia Qing pouted her lips on the phone, made a child's shape, and said: "Then I will believe it for the time being, you, when will you return to the mainland from Hong Kong, do you want to come to Kyoto when you return to the mainland?"
"Well, if it goes well, I'll go back in a month or two, the capital, I'll go over and have a look, after all, it's the heart of our motherland, of course I have to go and see it." Chen Tianlang said.
"Are you really coming over?" Xia Qing didn't know why, after hearing this, he immediately began to bump deer in his heart, and his face turned red unconsciously.
Even if he was thousands of miles away, Chen Tianlang could feel Xia Qing's surprise on the phone.
Seemingly unsure, Xia Qing asked again, "Is what you just said true?"
"Yes, if it goes well. ”
"That'...... Then I'll wait for you. Xia Qing's voice was a little less connected.
"Good...... Okay!" Chen Tianlang was infected.
"That'...... So be it. ”
"Good...... Great!"
"Uh, I'm hanging up, bye-bye. ”
"Bye-bye. ”
It took a few more seconds before the phone finally hung up.
As soon as the phone was hung up, Xia Qing hurriedly hugged the phone again and exclaimed quietly, "Oh, I should wish him a happy birthday again." ”
Chen Tianlang threw the phone on the bed all of a sudden, and finally calmed down from his uncontrollable emotions after a long time.
Chen Tianlang, who calmed down from a huge sense of happiness, was suddenly haunted by an unknown feeling in his heart between breaths. After he carefully discerned and tasted it, he realized that what was hidden in his heart was the nostalgia for the past.
Speaking of happiness like today, it is not the first time that Chen Tianlang has encountered and tasted it.
Since I was reborn in this era when I was eighteen years old, isn't my birthday as happy every year as it is today?
The brothers, relatives, and those who don't know if they are confidants.
Guo Fatzi, Wang Shishi, He Dayong---
Every time it is their birthday, they will get together, even if it is the simplest food stall, even if there are only one or two side dishes, bitter liquor, they can drink Hu Tian Hu Di. A sentence of "Boss wishes you a happy birthday!" "Boss, every year has today, every year has today!" This is happiness!
Every birthday, the white-skinned eggs that my mother boiled for herself in the morning, and the new clothes that my sister Chen Hong made for herself with a sewing machine are all indescribable happiness.
It turns out that happiness is so simple, not billions of wealth, nor sky-shaking achievements, but relatives and friends by their side, saying to themselves, "Happy birthday!"
