Chapter 220. Kill Li Ka-shing halfway

September 10, 1992.

On this day, Dong Jiaheng, president of Hongyun Company, convened various media to prepare for a press conference.

At noon that day, the press conference area was packed with people. Perhaps the media in Hong Kong are now paying attention to two things, one is the recent situation of Hong Kong's real estate, and the second is the storm of Hongyun Company.

As soon as the meeting time came, I saw Dong Jiaheng, who was in charge of the shipping leader among the four major families in Hong Kong, appeared alone.

The spotlight flickered, and at this time, Dong Jiaheng, as the spokesman, stood up and said to all the media: "First of all, on behalf of our Hongyun Shipping Company, I am very grateful to everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend this press conference. ”

After a pause, he said: "Secondly, I want to apologize to all the friends who support and trust Hongyun Company, I am sorry for worrying you during this time!" Dong Jiaheng bowed and apologized.

The flash lights on the scene crackled.

"Finally, on behalf of the company, I would like to assure you that our company will never collapse, let alone go bankrupt or close down, for this reason, we have made a major decision, we will give full authority to sell our company's shares, in order to seek sufficient funds for the sustainable development of Hongyun, and continue to serve all Hong Kong people!"

As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused a wave of fluctuations on the scene, and everyone was speculating about which one was about to take control of Hongyun Company.

But before the reporters could ask questions, Dong Jiaheng said: "This is the end of today's press conference, thank you!" "Bow and leave.

For example, the hurried reception filled many people with questions, so the reporters all flocked to take pictures, and asked, "Which company took over?" "May I ask if Dong really quit Hongyun Company?" "How much does it cost to sell?" …… Dong Jiaheng covered your photo with his hand, and just said, "I'm sorry, I have no comment!" "Hurried away under the escort of the security guards

Inside the Hong Kong Noble Club.

Fok Yingdong, Stanley Ho and Qi Qingsi sat on the sofa, personally poured a glass of champagne for Chen Xuanting and said, "Ah Ting, you did a good job this time!" We look like we're winning again! ”

"Thank you for your compliments," Chen Xuanting said, taking his glass, "but without your support, this plan would not have been possible." ”

Fok Yingdong and Stanley Ho saw that Chen Xuanting did not look proud at all, and couldn't help nodding, this young man is really calm and steady.

As for Qi Qingsi, he felt more and more that Chen Xuanting was different and full of charm.

Chen Xuanting smiled, "They have already held a press conference, and they have also contacted us. ”

"Oh yes? How so? ”

"Negotiations tomorrow at 10 a.m."

"Well, there is finally a result, this is a big business of tens of billions, Ting, you have to be careful......"

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for someone to buy Hongyun in the name of the Thunder Group!"

"What, aren't you going?"

"I still don't want to show my face, the limelight has been too strong recently, and the real estate aspect has been too big, I think it's better to be obscure!"

In fact, Chen Xuanting was too tired and didn't want to be the focus of the media anymore, and he also found a suitable person to help him take care of the newly established Thunder Group, that person was his mother Qiao Huiru!

It is said that since Chen Xuanting and Qiao Huiru's mother and son recognized each other, almost every time Chen Xuanting made any major decisions, he would ask her about relevant matters. That Qiao Huiru is definitely a heroine among women, and she is proficient in business politics, so it can be said that Chen Xuanting has learned a lot from her and benefited a lot.

The establishment of the so-called "Thunder Group" this time was also Qiao Huiru's idea.

In Qiao Huiru's view, Chen Xuanting should now diversify his development, in addition to focusing on film media, he should also focus on real estate and finance. These two real estate fevers, as well as the sniping of fortune, have her shadow behind them.

Chen Xuanting once tried to tell his father Chen Darong about his mother, but Chen Darong's reaction seemed very flat, after all, with Sister-in-law Zhen, his relationship with Qiao Huiru was completely over.

In this way, Chen Xuanting wanted to make Qiao Huiru's identity public. But Qiao Huiru felt that this would affect Chen Xuanting's personal image, after all, it was not good to have a mother who eloped with others.

This time, Chen Xuanting intended to make Qiao Huiru the chairman of the "Thunder Group", and he also wanted to compensate her.

Qi Qingsi has a close relationship with Chen Xuanting, and knows some about Chen Xuanting's relationship with her.

And Huo He and the others are not blind, let alone fools, the last time Qiao Huiru took out all her belongings to help Chen Xuanting, they had already seen some clues, this time Chen Xuanting proposed to let her be the chairman of the Thunder Group, and the two of them also kept silent, everyone just knew it.

Besides, Qiao Huiru, I didn't expect Chen Xuanting to make such a decision, when she heard about it on the phone, she understood that Chen Xuanting was thinking about herself, and she showed her trust, and she was inexplicably moved for a while.

"Don't worry, Ah Ting, I will definitely take care of the Thunder Group, and I won't let your precious son down!" Qiao Huiru said with a smile on the phone.

Seeing his mother so happy, Chen Xuanting also felt happy, you must know that there will be an overnight feud with your parents as a child? Even the star master in his previous life is the same.

It is said that Stephen Chow's filming of "Yangtze River No. 7" depicted the relationship between father and son, which made people cry, but in fact, because his parents divorced in his early years, he grew up with his mother and rarely contacted his father. However, some media photographed Stephen Chow quietly visiting Xing's father. The report pointed out that the original "Star Dad" was old, and the Star Master didn't care about his 40-year love and hatred for abandoning his wife and children, and hired a maid to buy a house for his father, and he would visit him when he was free to make up for the lack of father's love.

Stephen Chow's filial piety is well-known in the circle, he often talks about his mother Ling Baoer, but rarely talks about his father, only when he filmed "Yangtze River No. 7" in 05, he mentioned that the picture of the father and son lying on the bed sleeping in the film was filmed with childhood memories, which is also the only happy memory of Xing Ye to his father.

In a previous interview, "Star Mom" mentioned that the divorce was due to "being caught in the theater". It turns out that "Star Mom" loves to watch movies, and Xing Ye's love for movies was cultivated by watching movies with his mother when he was a child, once "Star Mom" took a few children to watch "Cleopatra", but he didn't expect Stephen Chow to point to the front row not far away and say, "Dad is there." At that time, "Star Dad" took a woman to see it. After the parents divorced, Stephen Chow and others followed the "star mother", and the "star mother" did different jobs day and night, pulling the children to grow up, so Stephen Chow was extremely filial to his mother.

After becoming famous, Stephen Chow didn't take much care of his father for a while, but as Xing's father got old and all grievances dissipated, Stephen Chow spent a huge amount of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to buy an apartment for him near his sister's house.

In his previous life, the star master was still like this, how could Chen Xuanting really care about his mother's past now?! Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion that Qiao Huiru will serve as the chairman of Thunder Group

The next time. The meeting of Hongyun Company's equity transfer was held in the conference room of the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Hong Kong.

Qiao Huiru, who served as the new chairman of Thunder Group, arrived at the meeting early in the morning with her assistant.

There was no one at the scene, Qiao Huiru instructed the assistant to prepare the required materials, and then began to sit there with his eyes closed. She was confident about the deal. After all, this is the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by his son Chen Xuanting, and he must not be lost.

Suddenly, the door of the conference room opened, and a group of people walked in, led by Dong Jiaheng, the president of Hongyun Company.

Qiao Huiru hurriedly got up and introduced herself first, and then said, "Hello, Mr. Dong Jiaheng, do you see if we will get to the point immediately and discuss cooperationβ€”β€”"

Dong Jiaheng glanced at her and said, "Please don't worry, ma'am." Things have changed, originally only one of you was interested in buying the equity of Hongyun, but now there is one more company......" said that, he looked towards the door.

Qiao Huiru also looked at the door, footsteps came, and then the door opened and the leader was a radiant old man, I saw that he was wearing glasses, he looked like he was in his sixties, and his head was very bright!

Qiao Huiru was taken aback when she saw the visitor, because the person who came was none other than the original richest man in Hong Kong - Li Ka-shing!

Speaking of Li Ka-shing, almost every Chinese in the world will know his name. And the stories and legends about him are too numerous to mention.

Legend has it that Mr. Li Ka-shing, a famous entrepreneur in Hong Kong, once came out of his home, and when his secretary bent over to get into the car for his car door, he accidentally dropped a coin from his jacket pocket. Unfortunately, the coin rolled under the manhole cover on the side of the road. Mr. Li Ka-shing then asked his secretary to inform someone to come and open the manhole cover and carefully search for the coin underground. After about 10 minutes, the coin was finally found, and Mr. Li Ka-shing "rewarded" the waiter with 100 Hong Kong dollars. Some people are puzzled, thinking that the coin of "falling into the well" has a special identity, but it is actually an ordinary coin.

Li Ka-shing analyzes it like this: A coin is also wealth, if you ignore it, it "falls into the well", and if you don't save it, then slowly the God of Wealth will leave you; HK$100 is Mr. Li Ka-shing's satisfaction with the service and the reward he deserves.

This is Li Ka-shing, a person who has been mythologized by many Chinese, and at this moment, when the Thunder plan was about to succeed, he actually acted as a dark horse and killed him!

Qiao Huiru never thought that Li Ka-shing, the original richest man in Hong Kong, would suddenly appear, and then looked at Dong Lingwei, the strong woman of the Dong family behind him, Qiao Huiru immediately understood that Li Ka-shing was the helper invited by the other party to solve the siege.

"You may already know each other without my introduction, this is Mr. Li Ka-shing, President of Hong Kong Cheung Kong Corporation!" Dong Jiaheng introduced, "As for this one, it is my cousin, Miss Dong Lingwei!" ”

For them, of course Qiao Huiru knew, "Welcome!" She said.

"Hehe, hello, Ms. Qiao, I have heard of your name for a long time, you are a strong woman in the business world in Taiwan, but this is Hong Kong, I hope you can get used to the water and soil here!" Li Ka-shing smiled sincerely, but his words were sharp.

"There is no difference between Hong Kong and Taiwan, as long as you are in the business world, you can find a sense of home no matter where you are!"

"Hehe, it's a pity that good swimmers drown, experience and practice can never replace strength. Hong Kong's business community is a place where strength speaks, and I think you should understand that! ”

"It's useless to talk too much, let's see who swims the fastest!" Qiao Huiru said with a determined expression.

"I admire your ability to calm down - I heard that you are helping Lu Le take care of business in Taiwan, but I don't know why you came to Hong Kong? Why did you help Chen Xuanting? ”

"I can't advise you on that!"

"Hehe, I'm just curious, that Chen Xuanting himself is even more strange, he can turn the clouds and rain in Hong Kong, but it's a pity that I can't see it today...... But you're so good, and of course he's even more amazing! Li Ka-shing said with some regret.

Dong Lingwei next to her was a little unaccustomed to Li Ka-shing's high evaluation of Chen Xuanting, and sneered: "Mr. Li Ka-shing, we invited you to negotiate, not to find someone to chat, as for that Chen Xuanting, I think you will have the opportunity to meet him in the future." ”

Li Ka-shing glanced at Dong Lingwei and said, "Miss Dong, I have my own sense of how to do it, I don't need you to teach me!" ”

At this time, Hongyun Company and others were ready.

Everyone also sat down and waited for the negotiations to begin.

Dong Jiaheng coughed twice and said: "Everyone also knows that our Hongyun is facing a situation of insufficient funds, so we plan to sell the remaining equity of shipping and ask for six billion ...... Now we have a good impression of both Thunder Group and Cheung Kong Industrial, the question is, we don't know who of you to work with?! ”

"So finally, after I discussed with the other directors, I am going to convene this meeting, and I hope that your two companies can speak enthusiastically, so that we can feel your sincerity and your plans for Hongyun Company in the future...... Who's going to start first? Dong Jiaheng asked.

In fact, after he communicated with Dong Lingwei, he had already decided to sell Hongyun to Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Industrial, and Chen Xuanting must not be cheap. However, in order to give an account to the other directors, this form of disclosure has to be adopted.

Li Ka-shing stood up with a smile and said, "I don't like to beat around the bush, so let me come first." After a week of glancing with sharp eyes, he said: "As the person in charge of Cheung Kong Industrial, I have always adhered to the principle of prudence and sincerity in the investment field, and it can be said that everything must be fully prepared before doing it." It's always been the case when doing business. For example, the Observatory says that the weather is good, but I often ask myself what I will do if a typhoon is declared in 5 minutes. ”

"That's why I'm not going to be cautious in my expansion, and I'm not going to be cautious about expanding...... What I want is to strike a balance between steadiness and progress. The boat must move fast, but it must withstand the wind and waves. The name of the Yangtze River is based on the principle that the Yangtze River does not choose a trickle, because you have to have such an open-minded mind, and then you can accommodate the trickle? Without a small tributary, how can a river grow? ”

"So I believe that your company is willing to sell the equity to me, and I will definitely uphold the above principles of doing things, under my leadership, with the efforts of everyone in our company, Hongyun will do better and stronger!"

After listening to Li Ka-shing's seemingly thick remarks, but in fact he said the facts, everyone in Hongyun Company couldn't help but nod, because as business leaders, everyone has a very clear understanding of the old "Cheung Kong Industrial" under the leadership of Li Ka-shing. This is an industrial kingdom that is constantly expanding and growing. And Li Ka-shing is the leader of this kingdom, and the most rare thing is his unparalleled leadership skills, which cannot be compared with the newly established "Thunder Group".

Let's talk about Qiao Huiru, she didn't expect Li Ka-shing to speak first, and she said it well, it seems that the other party is not good at coming this time. No, you must not lose, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted, how can I explain to my baby son Chen Xuanting?!

Just as Qiao Huiru was thinking, Dong Jiaheng spoke: "Ms. Qiao Huiru of the Thunder Group, do you have any opinions, can you talk about it?" ”

So Qiao Huiru calmed down, smiled and said: "Compared with Changjiang Industrial, although our Thunder Group is a rising star, it will be more bold and stable in terms of investment and construction. In addition, our group will take a comprehensive investment route in the future, rather than a single industry - because in my opinion, the industry can certainly consolidate the foundation, but today's world has already turned upside down, such as those high-end technology, virtual electronics, IT industry, as well as a series of non-physical industries including film and film, are growing at a rapid development speed! ”

"The reason why Hongyun will enter the crisis today is that the investment scope is too single, and the industry has passed its spring, which must be linked to the pace of today's social development. If the decision-makers of Fortune have a brain, they should understand that giving it hope for the future is much stronger than what it sees now! Otherwise, even if the fortune has passed the difficulties of today, the future will follow in the footsteps of today! ”

"I hope that the directors of Hongyun Company can understand that if we cooperate with Thunder Group, we will take steps in investment in the future, and take measures all over the world! Instead of simply relying on industry to seek development and welfare, this is a very narrow development route! Fortune must be awakened!! ”

Qiao Huiru's words were sonorous and powerful, and the head was the way.

Many of the directors couldn't help but nod their heads after hearing this.

Dong Jiaheng and Dong Lingwei were worried. After the two discussed in a low voice, Dong Jiaheng said: "What you two said is very good, but we still need to discuss it carefully." As he spoke, he turned his head and began to talk to the people around him.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the whole venue became very delicate.
