The atmosphere in the Huo family's mansion was particularly solemn, Huo Yingdong, Lu Yanni, Huo Zhenyuan, and Chen Qiqi sat in the living room, only to hear Huo Yingdong say:
"Kiki, don't blame us for being too careful. ”
"You and Zhenyuan have been married for seven or eight years, and if you want to divorce because your relationship has broken down, I will definitely not stop you. ”
"There will be no happiness in a reluctant marriage. ”
"But in fact, your relationship has been very good before this, which everyone in the family sees in their eyes, and they are usually very filial to us. ”
"So you want to divorce Zhenyuan, I firmly disagree. ”
Speaking of this, Huo Yingdong sighed, got up and said, "I know that what Zhenyuan did this time hurt your heart, and I apologize to you on his behalf." ”
Chen Qiqi saw that Huo Yingdong wanted to bow and apologize to her, how dare she accept it.
hurriedly stopped: "Daddy, don't say that, you and Mommy have been treating me like your own daughter for so many years." ”
"I'm also reluctant, but ......"
"Since you still call me Daddy, that is, you still think you are a member of the Huo family, and you also know that I and He Hongsen have been old friends for decades. ”
"If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that the relationship for decades will have to be broken. ”
"And now that our Huo family and the He family are getting closer and closer in business, we can't hurt the harmony because of this kind of off-the-table matter. ”
After a pause, Huo Yingdong continued:
"I have already talked to He Hongsen two days ago, and he also doesn't want to hurt the harmony of the two families, Chaoying has also agreed, I hope you will think about it. ”
"I know this request is a bit too much for you. ”
"But I hope you can think about it again for the sake of my old face, as well as the faces of the two children of Qizhong and Qiwen. ”
"As long as you agree, the Huo family will never treat you badly. ”
Although Huo Yingdong didn't clearly say what the request was, how could Chen Qiqi not hear it, it was nothing more than asking her to agree to Huo Zhenyuan to marry He Chaoying.
In fact, as early as after knowing that He Chaoying was pregnant with Huo Zhenyuan's child, she thought that this would happen.
Of course, she couldn't accept it emotionally, so she filed for divorce, but now Huo Yingdong put his posture so low and asked her so much.
She couldn't say no.
can let her agree, and she can't pass this level in her heart, one is hesitant and doesn't know how to answer.
At this time, Lu Yanni also opened her mouth to persuade: "Yes, Qiqi, you and Zhenyuan have been in a relationship for so many years, don't you feel sorry to break up when you say you break up." ”
"What's more, Qizhong and Qiwen are still so young, if you get divorced, what do you let them do. ”
"Children who grow up in single-parent families will not be mentally sound, listen to Mommy's advice, for the sake of the children, give Zhenyuan another chance. ”
Huo Yingdong and his wife persuaded Chen Qiqi in such a low profile not because they were reluctant to give up this daughter-in-law.
It is mainly for the reputation of the Huo family.
If Huo Zhenyuan and Chen Qiqi divorce and marry He Chaoying as his wife, how will the outside world view the Huo family? There will definitely be some gossip.
Young people may not care, but traditional ideas make most people of the older generation value their reputation.
What's more, Huo Yingdong himself is a person who cherishes his feathers, and he really doesn't want to see Huo Zhenyuan and Chen Qiqi divorce unless he has to.
Chen Qiqi remained silent.
Seeing this, Huo Yingdong couldn't help sighing, he didn't know what Chen Qiqi was thinking in his heart: "We have all said what should be said." ”
"You go back and think about it, if you still insist on divorce in the end, I won't force it. ”
After Huo Zhenyuan and Chen Qiqi left, Lu Yanni asked Huo Yingdong: "If they insist on divorce, do you really let them go?"
Huo Yingdong's face was not very good
"It's not that I can't help them, we are all outsiders in their marriage, and we can make decisions for them. ”
"I've already made my attitude clear, if Kiki still insists on divorcing, what can I do?
When Lu Yanni heard this, she also sighed, and then said something else.
"Judging from the current situation, He Chaoying must have to enter the door of our Huo family, she is pregnant with a child now, do you want me to go and see?"
Huo Yingdong hesitated, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
……
After more than a month of preparation, the United Investment Bank was finally established as one of the banks with the highest net worth in the world.
And the headquarters is in Hong Kong, the world's third-largest financial center.
After all, the United Investment Bank has had a profound impact on the economy of Hong Kong and the world, so the day of the listing was not without excitement.
Needless to say, the invited guests came.
A total of two or three hundred reporters, including Hong Kong locals, came. After the listing, Wei Xiong and the five held a press conference together.
And this is what the journalist is looking forward to the most.
When the host said that the reporter could ask questions, the following immediately raised his dense arms, and then the host clicked on a female reporter in the second row.
"I'm a journalist for The Guardian. ”
"I would like to ask Mr. Wei, how did you make accurate predictions before this Japanese stock market crash? Can you give us some specific information?"
"In addition, there is news that your acquisition of Asahi Shimbun has attracted the attention of the Japanese government. ”
Some officials in Japan's cabinet have expressed concern that the manipulation of public opinion will affect national security and domestic stability. ”
"What do you think about that?"
Since the stock market crash in Japan, the global media has had too many questions to ask Wei Xiong, but Wei Xiong has not been interviewed by any reporters.
This makes all the media helpless.
And today is undoubtedly a very good opportunity.
Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "I know that many people are curious, in fact, there is no so-called accurate prediction, but an approximate time can be determined." ”
"As for the rest, I won't say much more. ”
"As for the second question, this is an era of freedom of the press and speech, and I don't know why some officials in Japan think that way. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Xiong shrugged his shoulders, his expression a little helpless.
"I'm just optimistic about the future of the Asahi Shimbun, and I never thought of threatening Japan's national security, and I don't have it now, and I won't have it in the future. ”
"It's too big a charge for me to afford. ”
"Moreover, the Asahi Shimbun is a large, mature listed company with a sound management system, and it is impossible to allow this to happen. ”
The second reporter is from Phoenix TV.
"Mr. He, can you introduce the business scope of the United Investment Bank, as well as its future development direction, or plan?"
Mr. Ho picked up a brochure on the table.
"The two questions you asked are covered in the brochure that was just handed out to you, but since you asked, I'll just say a few words. ”
"As a bank, savings and loans are the most basic business. ”
"In addition, we also provide investment advisory, corporate finance and other services, and our goal is to create a multinational bank with global strength. ”
"Currently, plans are underway to open branches in New York, London and Paris. ”
After He Hongsen finished answering the question, the host gestured to the audience: "In the third row, the male reporter in the middle wearing a navy blue blazer." ”
"I'm a reporter for The New York Times. ”
"I would like to ask Mr. Wei, how much money did you make during the Japanese stock market crash? Some analysts say that the 300 billion yuan mentioned by the Sankei Shimbun is well-founded. ”
Wei Xiong shook his head and chuckled.
"I'm sorry, it's classified, but I have something to announce here, and you'll know in a few days. ”
"My charitable foundation will work with the World Food Programme and the World Health Organization. ”
"In the coming year, we will carry out actions including food and health assistance in some poor areas such as Chinese mainland and Africa. ”
"The amount involved in this operation is more than $500 million. ”
The reporter who had already sat down immediately asked: "This is undoubtedly good news for those who are living on the brink of starvation and death." ”
"Can you elaborate on that?"
"There is a person in charge of the matter, I don't know much about it, as far as I know, the African countries that have been identified at the moment, Central Africa, Tanzania and Kenya. ”
"Specific projects include the provision of food and agricultural tools, the construction of hospitals, the provision of medicines, etc. ”
"I felt like I had to do something about it since I was capable. If I had time, I think I'd go to Africa myself. ”
"I'm a reporter for Lianhe Zaobao. ”
"I would like to ask Mr. Li, will the joint investment banks that you have established together continue to strengthen cooperation in other aspects in the future?"
Li Ka-shing smiled slightly.
"That's for sure, any business can't go it alone, and if you want to be stronger and bigger, you have to cooperate, especially with powerful people. ”
"The co-investment bank will also be a major platform for us to work together. ”
……
The press conference lasted almost an hour, followed by a luncheon, which was attended by all the invited guests and some of the invited journalists.
Naturally, these journalists are from the mainstream media in Hong Kong and internationally.
A few of them wanted to find an opportunity to ask Wei Xiong questions at the luncheon, but they were all politely rejected by Wei Xiong, not to mention that the occasion was wrong, and what could be said just now was also said.
After the luncheon, Wei Xiong went to another hotel.
When he walked into a luxuriously decorated room, a middle-aged man with a typical Slavic face was watching TV in the living room.
"Hehe, Mr. Osipov, long time no see. ”
Wei Xiong smiled and stretched out his hand to the middle-aged man, who was none other than Osipov, who had just flown secretly from the Soviet Union.
"Hello Mr. Wei, it's been a long time. ”
The two exchanged a few words and sat down on the sofa, and then Osipov picked up a small suitcase from the ground next to him.
"It's all technical information. ”
"Most of them are the most advanced in the Soviet Union, and they are all requested by you, including the full set of technical information for the Tu-160 bomber. ”
Hearing this, Wei Xiong's eyes suddenly lit up.
It is said that Cherizov came to Hong Kong last year and brought a large box of technical materials, including Tu-160 bombers, but only partially.
A large part of the core information is missing.
Therefore, before Cherizov returned to the Soviet Union, he specially asked for a complete set of materials for the Tu-160, and now almost a year has passed, and he finally got his wish.
"Mr. Osipov really has a lot of energy. ”
Osipov smiled slightly: "The Tu-160 is the most advanced strategic bomber in the Soviet Union at present, and it is the culmination of Soviet aviation technology. ”
"I put a lot of effort into getting this set of information. ”
"But Mr. Wei will be my boss in the future, and of course I have to do my best to do things for my boss, and I still understand this requirement. ”
Wei Xiong smiled noncommittally.
"I prefer to position our future relationship as cooperation rather than superiority, where you will have full power in the intelligence agencies. ”
Osipov's smile did not diminish.
From his expression, it could be seen that he was very satisfied with Wei Xiong's answer, and he did not have the slightest doubt about his future power.
Because most of the backbone of the intelligence agency in the future will be his people.
Naturally, he also listens to him.
It's just that what he didn't know was that the few people he sent successively were brainwashed by Wei Xiong, and his wishful thinking fell short from the beginning.
The main purpose of his visit to Hong Kong this time was to finalize the establishment of an intelligence agency.
And set out to form.
"I'm sure our cooperation will be very pleasant, it's just ......" Osipov's brows narrowed slightly: "When does Mr. Wei think I should leave the Soviet Union?"
The situation in the Soviet Union today cannot be described as 'bad'.
Hardship, social unrest, political corruption, and power struggles for those in power have brought the country to the brink of collapse.
Not long ago, Lithuania, one of the republics of the Soviet Union, brazenly declared its independence.
If the central government of the Soviet Union had sent a large army in the Brezhnev era to wipe out all separatist forces, such a hard-line attitude would have been necessary.
It is a means for a sovereign state to safeguard national unity and integrity.
However, Gorbachev refused to send troops, and although he adopted economic blockade measures such as cutting off water and electricity, he exposed his weakness.
It may not have been much before.
However, in today's chaotic situation, it is undoubtedly a very good signal to those separatist forces to make them take risks.
Anyway, he has bad hopes for the country.
He even had a premonition that in the near future the other republics of the Soviet Union would declare independence, just like Lithuania.
At that time, the Soviet Union will be completely finished.
Of course, a large part of the reason why he has this hunch is from Wei Xiong's hints, although he has met Wei Xiong two or three times since he met.
But there are quite a few phone calls.
On the phone, Wei Xiong often analyzes and predicts the current situation in the Soviet Union, and most of the predictions actually happened in the end.
As a result, he was able to see farther than anyone else.
"The time has not yet come. ”
Wei Xiong said with a smile: "According to my analysis, Lithuania's independence is just the beginning, and there will be a domino effect in the next year. ”
"I'll let you know when it's time to evacuate. ”
To tell the truth, Osipov was disgusted by Wei Xiong's appearance of holding a pearl of wisdom, he was engaged in intelligence and was used to the feeling of grasping the initiative.
Being passive like this is very unaccustomed to him.
However, Wei Xiong still admires the accuracy of his analysis of the current situation in the Soviet Union, and he still has to rely on Wei Xiong after leaving the Soviet Union.
Therefore, he did not express his thoughts.
I saw him nod and said, "At present, the layout has been basically completed, and we can gradually close the net when the situation becomes more chaotic." ”
"Good. ”
……
Weixiong specially accompanied Osipov to dinner before leaving the hotel, but he did not take his Rolls-Royce, which is unique in the world.
Instead, he drove a black Jaguar.
Note that it's black, not white.
The previous white Jaguar had already been exposed with the exposure of his relationship with Li Ruotong, so the white Jaguar had already been eliminated by him.
After driving for about ten minutes, he drove into a small area.
This is a residential complex that looks pretty good, and the security guard at the door may have seen that he was driving a luxury car, so he let him in after just a casual look.
He then parked his car in the parking lot and walked into a building.
Two or three minutes later, he stood in front of a room door and rang the doorbell, and although he stood outside the door, he could still faintly hear the doorbell coming from inside.
After standing outside the door for a while, the door opened.
Appearing in front of Wei Xiong was Gong Li in a nightgown, and her expression looked obviously a little nervous at this time: "Mr. Wei, what's wrong with you?"
That's right, this is Gong Li's residence in Hong Kong.
Wei Xiong just smiled slightly, then stepped forward to open the door, and Gong Li stepped back nervously: "Wei, Mr. Wei, it's a little late now." ”
"Bang. ”
Closing the door casually, Wei Xiong slammed his right hand and came to a wall knock, which made Gong Li even more nervous: "Mr. Wei, you ......"
Wei Xiong directly grabbed the white: "Why didn't you call you and didn't reply?"
It is said that since that time in the French restaurant, Gong Li was first busy recording "Sister Over Flowers", and then busy filming "Myth".
After filming, Gong Li was idle for a few days.
But Wei Xiong didn't reply to a few phone calls, and then went back to the mainland, and then followed the crew to promote everywhere, and there was no time to go back to Hong Kong.
Until this time the premiere was held in Hong Kong.
But Wei Xiong still didn't reply, it was the first time Wei Xiong had encountered this situation in so many years, and he was more and more interested in Gong Li.
Gong Li didn't dare to look at Wei Xiong's eyes, glanced away, and said in a low voice: "I have already accompanied you once." ”
Wei Xiong smiled evilly: "Did I say it only once?"
"You...... Hmmm......"
Before she could say anything, she was blocked by Wei Xiong's mouth, and she wanted to resist in her heart, but she only struggled a little and gave up.
Because she knew it was useless to resist.
If she has the strength to resist, it is better to keep it, otherwise she will not have the strength to deal with Wei Xiong later.
