Chapter 467: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore
readx;
Zhang Ke caught a glimpse of the newspaper Xie Jiannan was reading and the same issue of Today's Economic Report in his hand, probably reading a report about the disagreement over Ge Jingcheng's legacy, Zhang Ke handed the newspaper in his hand to Ye Jianbin and signaled that Xie Hanjing and Xie Jiannan The purpose of their trip should be the same as himself: they have ulterior secrets.

Ye Jianbin smiled and said that it should be so, otherwise who would have made a special trip from the mainland to Hong Kong to mourn?
Xie Jiannan saw that Zhang Ke was also holding the same newspaper in his hand, and quietly put down the newspaper in his hand, but he was thinking in his heart: Ge Jingcheng's bones are not cold, no matter how much the Ge family fights for the inheritance, Sun Shangyi, as a son-in-law, and Ge Mingde, who is a cousin, will not be the protagonists, Zhang Ke and they ran over to join in the fun?
Everyone was indifferent and even nodded and smiled, but Xie Hanjing nodded calmly at Zhang Ke, Zhang Ke said hello with a slight bow, and then passed through the seat of business class and entered the economy class.
Xie Hanjing, Xie Jiannan and their entourage sat at the left wing, and Ye Jianbin pointed to a delicate and sweet woman who had just taken off her coat and showed off her proud figure in only a magenta sweater and told Zhang Ke that she was Xie Jiannan's secretary when he was in Haitai.
Zhang Ke was held by Fu Jun, and Ye Jianbin leaned over to speak, but their eyes looked at a woman wearing a magenta sweater and big breasts at the same time, which was obscene enough.
Flying to Hong Kong will not be dark yet, it is almost dusk, but there is dinner served on the plane, the economy class naturally has no particularly meticulous service, there is no Western food to order, the set meal has a tin foil wrapped steak taste is quite good, Zhang Ke They did not think about wasting these, flying over Hong Kong, you can see the sunset in the west on the plane is still only an eyebrow, the surrounding clouds are ever-changing, the glow is bright, and the sparkling sea water is still jumping with hundreds of millions of gold coins.
Sun Jingxiang, Sun Jingmeng, Fu Jiajun, Xu Si, assistant general manager Zhou Yi and the staff of Shengxin Shenzhen Branch were already waiting in the exit hall, walking out of the hall together after completing the formalities, standing on the steps and waiting for the driver to drive the car over. It is said that Sun Jingxiang's sisters did not have time to pick up the airport at this time, Sun Jingmeng was straightforward and fast-talking, and did not hide her dissatisfaction with the strange atmosphere in the funeral, she not only pulled Sun Jingxiang to drive out to breathe, and went to Kai Tak Airport to pick up the airport by the way, but also planned to accompany Zhang Ke and them to live in the hotel at night.
Xie Hanjing, Xie Jiannan and others waited in line at the taxi stand, but did not see that the Ge family sent a special car to pick them up; Since yesterday afternoon, people from all walks of life have been coming to the mourning hall on the campus of Hong Kong's Cheung Kwai Medical College to offer their condolences, and many of the children born to Mrs. Ge Jingcheng's third room and their families have to pay tribute to the mourners at the mourning hall.
There are a lot of people out of the airport during this time period, and there are large bags of luggage, the speed of getting on the bus is very slow, Xie Hanjing, Xie Jiannan they moved to the middle of the team, saw Zhang Ke and they got into their own branch car away, Xie Hanjing asked Xie Jiannan: "Aida should have set up a branch in Hong Kong last year, in the name of Yuexiu (Hong Kong), the brand agent of Aida disc machine in Southeast Asia was awarded to Jiaxin Industrial, but Jiaxin Industrial in Southeast Asia this year does not seem to be big?" ”
"Well, there are only two factories in the Philippines and Vietnam that produce disc players, and I think the production and sales volume of a year is less than half a month's production and sales of AIDA in the domestic market...... Domestic is also Wanyan was the first to produce disc machines in 94 years, but the potential of the disc machine market was really tapped in the second half of last year and this year, after the problem of the source of the film was completely solved, the disc machine market really developed, our Southeast Asian market should also have such a process, next year should be a good time to enter in a big way......"
"I always feel that compared with the actions of Aida Electronics in the domestic market, Jiaxin Industrial is a little too overshadowed in Southeast Asia, can it be said that Aida Electronics' control over Jiaxin Industrial is very limited?" Xie Hanjing was still puzzled.
The so-called restrictions restricting the maturity of the disc machine market should be nothing in front of AIDA Electronics, and AIDA Electronics should have all means to open up the market in Southeast Asia. Others don't know, of course the Xie family knows that the pirated disc industry, which originated in Dongshe County, has been able to grow rapidly because of the support of Aida Electronics behind the scenes. Jiaxin Industrial is a little careless about the development of the disc player market in Southeast Asia, and the only explanation is that Zhang Ke is only a shareholder and does not get the real control of Jiaxin Industrial; The management of Jiaxin Industrial is short-sighted, and has not yet realized the importance of the disc machine at the beginning of the year.
Even if Zhang Ke is really willing to tell them now, they won't believe it, after all, this kind of person has his own clear judgment on the future economic situation, and he will not be easily swayed by others.
Although Schwab Industrial is a little careless about the disc machine business in Southeast Asia, the quarterly report for the third quarter also gives a very beautiful answer, and the net profit of the disc machine business alone has reached 40 million, which has well supported the current stock price of Schwab Industrial, and I believe that Schwab Industrial will gradually pay attention to the emerging markets in Southeast Asia in the next fiscal quarter.
Not to mention the emerging markets in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong also has a relatively large disc machine market due to the relatively convenient and low price of pirated VCD discs from the mainland to flow into Hong Kong.
Zhang Ke and his entourage stayed at the Shadow Bay Park Hotel Apartment in Repulse Bay. Living in a hotel apartment instead of a hotel is highly recommended by Sun Jingmeng.
Along the west coastline of Hong Kong Island, all the way south, past Wong Chuk Hang, like a rugged mountain road, through a dense forest, suddenly in front of you is a wide sea and beach under the twilight, you can also see a curved building facing the blue sea: Ying Wan Garden.
Located at No. 109 Repulse Bay Road, South District, Hong Kong Island, in addition to high-end residences, shopping malls, clubs, there is also a high-end hotel serviced apartment, providing various specifications of hotel apartment rental services, but at least need to rent for one month.
Of course, Zhang Ke and his party could not stay in Hong Kong for a month, but Sun Jingmeng highly recommended this place, anyway, she and her sister Sun Jingxiang would only live here if they were in Hong Kong.
Zhang Ke heard Xu Si say that the Repulse Bay Hotel, which was demolished in 82 years at the original site, was the place where the heroes and heroines of Zhang Ailing's novel "Love in a Fallen City" met for the first time.
In addition, Yingwan Park is less than a ten-minute drive from Ge Zhai, and living here has a refreshing feeling of watching the fire from the other side.
Even if he wastes some more money, Zhang Ke thinks that there is nothing inappropriate to live here, not to mention that he plans to recuperate in Hong Kong for a few more days, and the medical level in Hong Kong is always much higher than that in Haizhou. Renting two large hotel apartments will not be too difficult to afford at a rent of 80,000 Hong Kong dollars per month.
It's just that Sun's house is very close to here, and Zhang Ke doesn't understand why sisters Sun Jingxiang and Sun Jingmeng don't live at home.
Sun Jingxiang showed a wry smile, somewhat helpless that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but Sun Jingmeng did not have so many scruples, pushed open the window, looked at the lighthouse on the beach in the distance and the lights on the cruise ship, and said: "If you don't find a place to live, you will fall into the streets......
At this time, the sky in Hong Kong has completely darkened, but the beach and sea outside Shadow Bay Park are exceptionally quiet and beautiful at night.
Zhang Ke and Ye Jianbin didn't understand Sun Jingmeng's words with some resentment: What does it mean that if you don't find a place to live, you will be reduced to the streets? Sun Jingxiang smiled bitterly and explained to Zhang Ke, Ye Jianbin and Xu Si.
In addition to the assets that have been distributed to the daughters and nephews of each house, the estate left by Ge Jingcheng can be divided into three parts, one is the assets of Hong Kong Cheung Kwai Medical College and Affiliated Hospital as the main body and including the "Ge Jingcheng Social Welfare Foundation Charitable Trust", which also contains nearly 10 billion equity assets of the listed companies of the Charles Schwab Group, which will be used for charity and public purposes and will not be disposed of as an inheritance; The second is a family trust fund in the form of Ge's trust fund, which is jointly owned by the members of the Ge family, with a total of nearly 5 billion assets. The third piece is the Jiaxin Group, a legal person holding company directly controlled by Ge Jingcheng, and the shares of the listed companies held by the Jiaxin Group have a total of more than 20 billion yuan.
Except for the assets that had already been disposed of, there were no other documents related to the will left before his death.
At present, the villas, western-style buildings and high-end apartments where the members of the Ge family live, except for a small number of properties purchased by themselves, most of them are assets of the Charles Schwab Group. Before his death, Ge Jingcheng intended to move these property assets to the family trust fund, so that in addition to everyone agreeing to a complete separation, at least the existing family members would not be kicked out of the residence by others, but although Ge Jingcheng revealed this meaning before his death, he did not leave any testamentary documents in time.
Maybe Ge Jingcheng is more willing to see his children tear apart their hypocritical faces for the sake of fighting for property.
Last night, Ge Jingcheng's three daughters gathered in the Ge family's mansion to discuss the third and largest piece of property that can be disposed of: Jiaxin Group's own assets and the equity assets of various listed companies held under its name.
Ge Mingxin wanted to fully control the Jiaxin Group, but the others were naturally unwilling, shouting to split the family, and quarreled until the end, Ge Mingxin threatened to take back the properties of each family first and then discuss the issue of asset distribution, although Ge Mingxin calmed down afterwards and apologized and wanted to take back the gaffe, but the other members of the Ge family were angry.
This morning, several members of the Ge family have moved into the hotel, planning to perform a fratricidal bitter trick for the media and the public in Hong Kong, Sun Shangyi and his wife have no intention of putting on a show, and they are still living in the original house and have not moved out, Sun Jingxiang and Sun Jingmeng sisters are trying to get rid of the depressed and weird atmosphere of the Ge family at this time, so they want to move to the hotel apartment in Yingwan City.
Most of the members of the Ge family have their own residences in Hong Kong, but few of them are more upscale than the sea-view villas provided by the family in the high-end residential areas of Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay, so most of them live in the properties provided by the family.
Ge Mingxin's threatening words naturally could not threaten others, but instead forced himself into a predicament, once reported to the media, it would leave the public a bad impression that his father was eager to persecute his younger siblings as soon as he died.
Zhang Ke came to fan the fire this time, but he didn't expect the fire to be raging, if there were media reports that the members of the Ge family were forced to move out of the house by Ge Jingcheng's eldest son Ge Mingxin, the stock price of the listed company under the Jiaxin Group would suffer a heavy setback again, and Ge Mingxin would not have a good means, let alone completely control the Jiaxin Group, but I am afraid that he will not even be able to keep his current position.
Zhang Ke rubbed his hands and asked Sun Jingxiang: "Sister Sun, do you have a deep relationship with your sister for the old man who just died?" ”
"Huh?" Sun Jingxiang was very puzzled, and Zhang Ke suddenly asked.
"What are you asking for?" Sun Jingmeng looked at Zhang Ke and asked strangely, "It's very unconscionable, my life with my sister will be the envy of many girls, but these are not what my sister and I want, after we arrived in Hong Kong, that person was like a heavy shadow in the hearts of all the Ge family, how deep do you say the feelings will be?" ”
"It's good if it's not deep," Zhang Ke smiled and said, "lest you misunderstand that I'm the kind of person who falls into the ground......"
"Ah, what do you want to do?" Sun Jingmeng tilted her head and asked, guessing how Zhang Ke would fall into the well.
There is nothing to discuss with Sun Jingmeng, Zhang Ke touched his nose and motioned Ye Jianbin to talk in the next room, Sun Jingmeng puffed out her cheeks and said: "What's the big deal, if you don't listen, you won't listen...... obviously very depressed about this kind of behavior of hiding everything from her.
Last time, everyone took the opportunity of the Aida Electronics Dealer Conference to rush to Haizhou to play, Sun Jingmeng had to take care of the bar, and she couldn't get out of it at all, so she was all left to Ling Xiaoyan alone, and she herself was a little unbearable; Rushing back to Hong Kong this time is a special situation, not to mention that Ling Xiaoyan can ask Xu Wei for help.
For dinner at the prestigious Shadow Bay Garden Terrace Restaurant, Zhang Ke and Ye Jianbin were accompanied by Fu Jiajun to Changkui Hospital to mourn, and sisters Sun Jingxiang and Sun Jingmeng did not mean to accompany them, so Xu Si also stayed to accompany them. These people were originally uninvited, but they had only informed Sun Shangyi and Ge Mingde in advance.
The temperature in Haizhou drops below zero in December, but the climate in Hong Kong is warm and humid, and the evening breeze on the face is pleasant, only in the month before and after the Spring Festival, the temperature will drop significantly; Now there are forty or fifty days left before the Spring Festival of '97.
Xu Si accompanied Sun Jingxiang and Sun Jingmeng sisters to chat in the room, and it didn't take long for Zhang Ke and them to come back, Xu Si looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was only nine o'clock, Sun Jingmeng went to open the room, and saw her father Sun Shangyi, and her cousin Ge Mingde also came over, and asked strangely: "What are you doing here, you don't need to wake tonight?" ”
Ge Mingde ignored Sun Jingmeng's words, and just said to Sun Shangyi with a wry smile: "Your suggestion to strictly prevent media reporters from mixing into the mourning hall is completely correct, and if you want the media to take pictures of what happened tonight, the stock price will drop by another 20% tomorrow......"
"What's the matter, there was a fight in the mourning hall?" Sun Jingmeng didn't have much respect for the deceased, she asked, somewhat gloating, "If you really want to fight, the people who mourned in the past won't leak the news to the media?" ”
Sun Shangyi glared at her and told her not to talk nonsense.
Zhang Ke always had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and said at this time: "Fortunately, there were not many people at that time, except for us, there was also a group of guests who came to mourn with us by plane......"
How did Sun Jingmeng know about the grievances between Kumho and Zhengtai, not to mention that when she was at the airport, Zhang Ke did not point out Xie Hanjing, Xie Jiannan and others to her.
The corners of Ge Mingde's mouth twitched, and his smile was extremely bitter: "I really don't know what Abel will think in Jiuquan, he can do everything possible to maintain the entire Ge family in a whole during his lifetime......"
"It's just his wishful thinking, for so many years, everyone has lived in his shadow, even if there is no property dispute, I think many people will be impatient to leave......" Sun Jingmeng said disdainfully.
