Chapter Eighty-Eight: Discussion

When Shen Chong renovated the Oriental Charm Building, he spared no expense to make the hall spacious and beautiful, the first floor is the teaching venue of the Hong Kong Film Culture Center, not only there are many props and tables and chairs, but also senior stage design teachers, this press conference, although it was held in a hurry, the temporary venue is simple and generous, not simple at all.

"That's it for today's press conference, thank you."

When Gu Liwei hinted that the time had come, Li Kaiyuan immediately announced the end of the press conference, and then waved his hand to the reporter and the camera, and walked off the stage, bypassing the white background curtain printed with oriental charm, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

"Tut, this Li Kaiyuan was inconspicuous before, I thought she was a deep resentful woman hidden by Shen Caishen, but I didn't expect it to be so good, today is really eye-opening."

"Look at the bearing she is standing there and the attitude of her speech, where is the deep resentment of the woman? It's clearly bigger than a big star."

"Who said no, I used to look at the photos, I didn't feel anything, I just felt that the length was okay, and it wasn't very beautiful, when I saw the real person today, I knew that the photos were all fake, that temperament, that eyebrows, and that look of speech, live like a heroine among women, no wonder Lin Yanni said that she has the power of the queen, one look, can make people shut up, I have always thought it is too exaggerated, and now I really believe it."

"Has Lin Yanni said this?"

"Lin Yanni said that she is similar to Wu Zetian, isn't Wu Zetian the queen?"

"That's the Empress."

"It's almost the same, the Empress is even more powerful, hey, I'm inspired, the title of tomorrow's manuscript is written like this: How about the Toy Empress proudly vowing to conquer the king of foreign lines, this title is good, right?"

"The Toy Queen? You are too exaggerated, her toy company, not all of them were given to her by Shen Caishen, a woman is a good hand at housework and children, but if you want to talk about business, you can't do it. ”

"I don't agree with you saying this, na, you flip through the pamphlet you are holding in your hand, and look at the sales, the profits, and the factories under construction, which one of them was not made by her? Is she not good at business? She is better than 90% of all men in Hong Kong."

"Hey, I just said casually, what are you excited about? Oh, I see, you have a crush on her, right? She does have a good temperament and a beautiful person, but that is the woman of Shen Caishen, it is useless if you fall in love with it, haha

"You ......"

"Hey, don't be vindictive. Ada is right, Li Kaiyuan is indeed not an ordinary woman, I went to Shenzhen for an interview, the toy factory was made by her independently, Shen Caishen basically did not interfere, the information we just got, if there is no water in it, then her toy company, whether it is turnover or scale, is firmly in the top spot in Hong Kong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the queen of toys. ”

"Come on, her company, the Rubik's Cube was invented by Shen Caishen, and the cabbage doll was given by Shen Caishen, Shen Caishen has such a close relationship with the mainland, she just sits in the office and waits to collect the money, which kind of female emperor is it."

"Lao Wang, don't raise the bar, I also support Ada, Li Kaiyuan is indeed not simple, think about it, you are an old man in his forties, and you have seen a lot of big scenes, right? Were you nervous if you were standing on a stage just now, facing the flashing lights of dozens of reporters and the cameras of TV stations? Can you still talk and laugh freely? Do you dare to accuse Niu Bijian? Can you lift a weight and make fun of your wife's ex-husband in public? If you think about Li Kaiyuan's performance just now, does she look like a person who held a press conference for the first time? She can hold the scene better than Hollywood stars, and on this basis, she is definitely not an ordinary woman. ”

"Women are born to act."

"Don't be hard-mouthed, even if she was born to act, real money will never act, right? Today, she received the most shares of Jardine Matheson, and the rest. Where did it come from? You must know that when Jardine's stock price rose quietly last week, Shen Caishen was still in Taiwan and Zhang Aijia were flying and staying together, and they were happy, so secretly absorbing the shares of Jardine Matheson must be Li Kaiyuan's action alone, gambling with a huge amount of more than a billion yuan, this courage and courage, Ada said that she is the queen, which is not an exaggeration at all. ”

"Maybe she was jealous and crazy, and took out all the assets of Shen Caishen and defeated her......"

"I said you, it's really a shame for financial reporters, such a blockbuster financial news is not discussed, but women are discussed, it is better for you all to change careers and go to "Vanity Fair" to run gossip news."

"What reporter Liu Da said is that no matter how great Li Kaiyuan's ability is, no matter how prosperous he is, it is also the forbidden body of Shen Caishen, let's see it, we can't touch it, let's talk about today's earth-shattering battle, maybe you can drink some soup from it. Ada, your Hong Kong Economic Journal is a subsidiary of Oriental Charm, do you have any insider information? ”

"I don't, our editor-in-chief may have, he went to interview Boss Shen at noon today."

"In this way, there must be a scoop in Hong Kong Economic Journal, and tomorrow's sales will definitely rise sharply, I really envy you, it's good to make money with the God of Wealth back."

"Reporter Liu, what do you think?"

"I'm not sure, Jardine Matheson is a giant, with potential assets of tens of billions, even if the toy company goes public to raise funds, it may not be able to hold, once it is trapped, more than a billion funds can't be taken out, and the interest alone can kill people, I can't figure it out, she is so young, and has been very low-key, the toy company is run well, why would she suddenly take such a big risk and deal with Jardine Matheson in a high-profile manner? Even if you can control Jardine Matheson, what can you do? Jardine Matheson has dozens of subsidiaries, business all over the world, I don't know how many times more difficult to operate than a toy company with only two main products, a mistake in decision-making, it is possible to lose hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention women, that is, men, twenty-four or five years old want to be the big class of Jardine Matheson, it is also a fantasy.

"I don't understand, this is too bizarre, could it be Shen Caishen's idea? Judging from his investment style in the United States, he is very aggressive, and if he puts all his assets together, he really has the possibility of controlling Jardine Matheson, and once the holding is successful, he will soar to the sky and become the top wealthy family in Hong Kong. ”

"A wealthy family can't be built in a day or two, nor can it be built by money, although Shen Caishen is powerful, after all, the days of development are very short, a year and a half, even if the day is making money, the assets can't catch up with the century-old Keswick family, besides, doing business, money is important, but money is not everything, Jardine Matheson has accumulated many years of contacts and heritage, definitely not money can be bought, those British directors are arrogant and stubborn, will they look down on Shen Caishen and Li Kaiyuan in their early twenties? They will definitely not allow Li Kaiyuan to compete for the throne of Taipan. ”

"When you say this, I feel in a trance, will Li Kaiyuan learn from Wall Street and engage in hostile takeovers? Buying shares at a low price, then making a big splash to raise the stock price, and then bluffing to force the board to buy it back, so as to make a big profit. ”

"It's possible, it's possible, what Lao Wang said is right, Jardine Matheson has been fighting with Bao Yugang for a controlling stake in Wharf since last year, spending a lot of cash, and now is the time to be weak, the market value is seriously undervalued, it is a big piece of fat, yes, yes, wasn't Li Kaiyuan just making a big fanfare? In this way, the next move must be a bluff to threaten the board of directors of Jardine Matheson to buy back shares."

"Having said that, it is very difficult, in case Jardine and Foreign Bank rely on the abundant capital to fight a war of attrition, only to face the battle, not to buy, and Li Kaiyuan can't find enough follow-up funds, the billions invested now will all be trapped, and even if she enters the board of directors, it is meaningless to face a group of Britons alone."

"That's right, it's really difficult, it's very difficult to engage in this kind of speculation, it's too risky. I still say that, there is no need, with the age and ability of Shen Caishen and Li Kaiyuan, a few years of step-by-step development, it will inevitably be a number of wealthy families in Hong Kong and even the whole of Southeast Asia. ”

"Indeed."

"I think so, I can't figure it out."

"You see, Shen Caishen used to invest in stocks, whether it was Hutchison Whampoa or Wharf, he was very low-key, secretly absorbed, and then used a small and broad, and the timing was just right, this time he changed his past style, entered the market with a high profile, and fought hard with Jardine Matheson, could it be that he had no fear, and held a killer feature that could force the board of directors of Jardine Matheson to buy back?"

"I don't know, Shen Caishen's eyes are extremely vicious, whether it is looking at people or stocks, he is full of shots, as if he has the ability to predict the future, maybe he can see that Jardine Matheson is about to suffer a big change?"

"Nurbijian is a stable person, and although Jardine Matheson is not profitable enough, it rarely makes mistakes, and I don't see anything wrong."

"If you want to say something is wrong, it's not nothing, everyone remembers, some time ago, the young master of the Keswick family, Simmenke, once publicly questioned the business strategy of New Bijian in a Singapore newspaper, the Keswick family has been the largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson for more than 30 years, and is very influential in the board of directors.

"Niu Bijian's father was the director of Jardine Matheson that year, he is also a generation of celebrities, and step by step from the bottom to do it, with deep qualifications, Niu Bijian has been a big class for 5 years, although the way of doing business is conservative, but it is not said that there is any big mistake, Simon is less than 38 years old this year, and now he is only the manager of the Jardine Singapore subsidiary, and his qualifications are too shallow, I am afraid that he can't fight Niu Bijian."

"Simon can't fight Niu Bijian, but if he invites his eldest brother Henrik back to Hong Kong, it will be completely different, that is the prince of Jardine Matheson, when he first did the Jardine Matheson family, out of Southeast Asia, no one knew the name of Jardine Matheson, and when he retired in 1975, the whole world knew the name of Jardine Matheson, ul years Jardine Matheson went public, and the acquisition of the dairy company through the Landmark Group was a classic and very prestigious."

"In this way, Shen Caishen really has a chance to fish in troubled waters, but this chance is a bit slim, the British are not stupid, they also know that when the enemy is current, they must share the same enemy, and they can't fight inwardly."
