Before anyone could get there, the phone rang in the carriage. Lin Xiaozhi, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, was also awakened by the ringtone, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that Gao Sen, who was sitting next to him, had already picked up his buzzing mobile phone and handed it to him.

Nodding at him as a thank you, Lin Xiaozhi glanced at the color of the mobile phone. He has two mobile phones with him, one of which has a black number that has long become a public number, and anyone with the slightest relationship can call it; The other coffee-colored mobile phone has fewer numbers than those who know the way, and only his family members and a few friends and subordinates who have a good personal relationship with him know the way. In this way, when distinguishing the benefits later, he can know the general identity of the other party before answering the phone.

No, as soon as he saw that it was his black mobile phone that was ringing, Lin Xiaozhi immediately knew that the other party should not be the kind of person who is particularly familiar with him.

At that moment, he took the phone and pressed the answer button: "Hey, who is it?" ”

"Hehe, I didn't bother Lin Sheng, I'm Rong Zhijian."

It turned out to be the Prince Rong of CITIC Pacific!

Lin Xiaozhi was stunned, although he had a relationship with this Prince Rong earlier, but when they met, he still received an invitation from the director of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, Zhou, and only then did he get acquainted with this Prince Rong and had a relationship with the red-topped giant Huo Yingdong. At this time, this Prince Rong took the initiative to come to the door and call him, which made him interested.

suppressed the curiosity in his heart at the moment, and asked with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Rong, you are a busy man, I heard that you CITIC Pacific are bidding for the Eastern District Undersea Tunnel project, why do you have time to call me today?" ”

When it comes to state-owned enterprises, everyone can name several drawbacks. But it is undeniable that the support that state-owned enterprises can receive is definitely beyond the imagination of outsiders. For example, CITIC Pacific once died down in Hong Kong during the political storm in the past two years, and kept a low profile for two years. However, after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the United States secretly re-provided a low-interest loan to China in order to pass the United Nations resolution against Saddam. The subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union, Saddam's re-establishment of the National Guard, and so on, the mainland has benefited a lot of money, and with the export of a large number of light industrial products and munitions, it has finally begun to get out of the throes of foreign companies withdrawing from the political storm, and the economy has slowly recovered.

As soon as the mainland's economy recovered, CITIC Pacific Fullton, which had been developing in Hong Kong, also began to be active. Since the second half of the year, there have been a series of big moves, on the one hand, to increase the stake in the listed bank - K. Wah Bank, and on the other hand to participate in the undersea tunnel bidding.

"No matter how busy you are, you Lin Sheng, hehe, I have seen news related to you everywhere in the recent period, and the scenery is infinite......"

Prince Rong's words made Lin Xiaozhi on the other side of the phone smile slightly, and he could hear something.

Now with Cheng Pao and ATV in hand, he is already one of the most influential people in Hong Kong, no less than those super-rich people whose assets are several times or even dozens of times that of him. With his current influence, if he acquires any of the three listed media companies, he will be able to easily influence the trend of public opinion in Hong Kong in the future. For the mainland's top officials, who have been working to increase their influence in Hong Kong, he is obviously close to the mainland, and he is probably on the list that must be wooed. It is estimated that this is also the reason why Prince Rong, who has never taken the initiative to contact him, called him in person.

It is precisely because of this understanding that even if he is faced with an existence with a background like Prince Rong, he is now very calm: "Small fights are not as good as your CITIC Pacific." ”

In the end, he knew that his city government was far inferior to Prince Rong, and he was not used to beating around the bush, so he changed his words after a slight pause: "I am inconvenient in the car, what is the matter with Mr. Rong?" Why don't we take a moment to sit down and have a good talk......"

Prince Rong also seemed to be accustomed to talking directly with people, and said with a smile when he heard this: "I'm still thinking about how I heard the horn just now, I'm fine, since it's inconvenient for you to talk more in the car, let's talk again in the future." By the way, I heard that Lin Sheng, your good things are coming, and you've been sending congratulatory posts everywhere recently. Don't forget to let me know when the time comes, go over and have a show! ”

The so-called good thing refers to his wedding to Li Jiaxin. Last year, he promised to marry Li Jiaxin within the year, and not long ago he made a fuss about the scandal that came out of himself, and he didn't plan to delay it anymore, but it happened that when the old man asked that day, he booked a time at the end of the month.

There are a lot of good days in December, originally he fancied December 25th Western Christmas, but this year's Christmas day is taboo according to the yellow calendar, or the old man invited a feng shui master to calculate, only to finally finalize the last day of the year, that is, the 31st, is said to be an auspicious day that can ensure family harmony and husband and wife love, he himself does not care about what feng shui, but seeing that the old man and Li Jiaxin seem to be very satisfied, he nodded and agreed.

The wedding is a big event, although he is not ready to do a special event, but the old man came to the spirit of the quasi-disagree, and sent invitations to old friends, and called his two granddaughters-in-law to accompany him to choose hotels everywhere, more enthusiastic than him, I heard that more than 400 invitations have been sent out, all of them are wealthy and illustrious. With the current momentum and influence of their Lin family, they are also like clouds.

Lin Xiaozhi thought about inviting the president of Xinhua News Agency, President Zhou, and him, Prince Rong, and even if possible, he wanted to invite the top ten richest people. However, everyone was not familiar with each other before, and secondly, they were also worried about the other party's resignation. Seeing that Rong Zhijian opened his mouth, he naturally agreed quickly: "This is a natural ......"

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he unexpectedly moved the mobile phone away from his ear, when he heard another sentence from the opposite side: "...... It must be, oh yes, it's coming to the end of the year, we still have some spare money in our hands in Jiahua Bank, if Lin Sheng needs a loan, you might as well give me a call! ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Lin Xiaozhi time to react at all, and hung up directly, making him stunned for a while before putting the phone on the seat next to him.

The relationship went around in circles, and the purpose of this Prince Rong who took the initiative to call him today was to ask him if he needed a loan.

"I'm going to think of something, call me when I get there!"

After explaining to Gao Sen, Lin Xiaozhi continued to close his eyes and recuperate, but all he thought about in his head was the sentence before Prince Rong hung up the phone, and repeatedly savored what his words meant.

In the early 80s, London accused the mainland of sending agents to infiltrate Hong Kong, although there were fewer mutual accusations after the signing of the joint communique, but it does not mean that the mainland is really waiting for Hong Kong's return with peace of mind, and it is absolutely unambiguous to send intelligence officers and agents over to send intelligence officers and agents over.

Lin Xiaozhi is not short of money, at least not as the outside world speculates. The Kowloon Bank, which has developed rapidly in recent years, is his family, and it is just a matter of one sentence to ask for a loan, and three or five billion yuan is no problem at all. It was impossible for Prince Rong not to understand this, but he still took the initiative to call him to ask if he wanted a loan, and there was a problem in this.

His head turned quickly, Lin Xiaozhi also knew that he was scheming and wisdom in the business field, and he was more than one line behind a business giant like Prince Rong, who was in charge of tens of billions of large enterprises, so he had to think more and guess what the other party meant.

After thinking about it for a while, seeing that he was about to get to the place, he finally came up with two vague ideas. Since Prince Rong knew that he was not short of money, and asked him if he wanted a loan, in Lin Xiaozhi's opinion, there may be two purposes. First, he is not optimistic that he will be able to take down the three listed companies with his current talents, so he is ready to help him behind his back, so that he, a Hong Kong businessman whose stance is relatively close to the mainland, can successfully control Hong Kong public opinion. Besides, the loan has to be mortgaged by something, whether it is the shares of Media Asia in his hand, or ATV or Chengbao, they are all good enough to make people covet.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this possibility was very high, and Lin Xiaozhi couldn't help but feel proud.

Xu is that he has done too well in the past period of time, and everyone only thinks that he is annoyed and angry and wants to fight to the death with the four major media, and now he forcibly buys three listed media, and he is also angered by threatening letters sent by unknown opponents. But he didn't know that these were just tricks he shown, and his real purpose was only one from the beginning, that is, to win Yu Pinhai's Ming Bao. As for Oriental Press and Sing Tao Newspaper, it is naturally best to acquire another one, and if not, it is okay to be a major shareholder, and even he himself has been prepared to contact other sellers to make a decision after the other party jumps over the wall, and makes a fortune to hit the two companies hard.

It's just that his plan, at present, there are no more than five or six people who know the Tao, and all of them are his henchmen except for himself. Outsiders naturally don't know what to do, and this Prince Rong probably also saw that he was bound to win the three listed media companies during this time, and as a result, he made a wrong judgment.

Thinking about this, he put aside the matter of Prince Rong and emptied his brain to recuperate.

"Lin Sheng, it's time to get there!"

The car sped away and soon arrived at its destination. Urged by Gao Sen, as soon as Lin Xiaozhi opened his eyes, he saw their car driving into a luxury villa, which was Lin Baixin's mansion in Deep Water Bay, which was bigger than their Lin Mansion, and it was said that it was a new house bought the year before last, and it cost more than 70 million.

70 million is not a small amount, and it was enough to buy a first-class office building with more than ten floors the year before last. The extravagance of Hong Kong's wealthy is evident from this.

Although it was the first time to come here, Lin Fubao only glanced at the license plate and immediately opened the door, and after the car stopped, Lin Xiaozhi just got out of the car, and saw Lin Baixin, the ninth uncle who had not seen him for more than half a year, greeted him with a smile on his face under the support of a young man.

"Achi, why did you come so late?"

Sure enough, as he thought, Lin Baixin may have been a little annoyed that his eldest son sold ATV to him, but he didn't show the slightest displeasure in front of him, a 'capable' nephew, "Why didn't the fourth brother come?" He's in good health! ”

"Thank you Uncle Nine for your concern, grandpa has been in great health recently, and he has been busy with my marriage recently, if you don't ask him to do it, his old man is not happy, so he can only handle it."

"People are naturally full of spirit when they are happy, and the fourth brother finally has a big wish now. It's not that the ninth uncle wants to talk about you, you should have started a family a long time ago, and let the fourth brother enjoy the fun of being in the same house for the next four generations and hugging his great-grandson! ”

Lin Baixin took his hand and patted it with a smile: "How are the wedding preparations, don't forget to inform us when the time comes!" ”

"I forgot who I am, and I can't forget you, Uncle Nine. The wedding has been almost prepared, held on the 31st, the hotel has not yet been determined but it is soon, it should be these two days! ”

Hearing him mention that the hotel was not yet confirmed, Lin Baixin had a smile on his face and said, "Yes, our Lin family is lucky, and the juniors can come out with you again, and they should also be beautiful." It's better to do this, your ninth uncle will give you an idea, and the wedding will be placed in the Furama Hotel! I have a good relationship with Fu Yinquan, and I believe he will also sell me a face and give me some discounts! ”

Located at 1 Connaught Road Central, Central, Hong Kong, Furama Hotel was officially opened in 1973 and is one of Hong Kong's most prestigious luxury hotels. On the top floor of the hotel is Hong Kong's first revolving restaurant, which is owned by the Macau wealthy Fu Lao Rong family. Macau gambling king Fu Laorong has been dead for more than 30 years, and now the helm of the Fu family is no one else, it is his eldest son Fu Yinquan.

Lin Xiaozhi was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll tell my grandfather when I go back, Furama Hotel was originally one of our choices, but the conditions offered by the Mandarin Hotel were better, so the old man didn't rush to make sure." If Uncle Nine knows the Fu family, then it will trouble Uncle Nine! ”

Because of Lin Jianming's relationship, he already knew that the Lai Sun Development Company under the name of his ninth uncle was in contact with the Fu family to find an opportunity to acquire Fulihua, and this time Lin Baixin took the initiative to pull business for Furama Hotel, Lin Xiaozhi guessed after just a little thought, I am afraid that Lin Baixin has reached a consensus with the Fu family.

In other words, the competition between the second generation of the Lin family for Lai Sun Development Company has already come to a result. Not surprisingly, Lin Jianming, the eldest son who was very dissatisfied with his performance in the 'ATV' incident, was afraid that he would not have a chance with this real estate company, and Lin Jianle, who was not on the right path with him, finally won.

If it was half a year ago, this result would never be what Lin Xiaozhi would like to see. But now that ATV is in his hands, he is not greedy for other things in the Lin Baixin family, and Lin Jianming's status in his heart has naturally plummeted. So now it doesn't matter to him who wins or loses.

Feeling that two eyes fell on him, the master was the young man beside Lin Baixin who was supporting him. He asked curiously, "This is ......?"

The young man must have looked to be only twenty-six or seventeen years old, at least in terms of physiognomy and younger than him. Lin Xiaozhi saw this person for the first time, and originally guessed that it might be Lin Jianming's eldest son, but he didn't match the age when he calculated it, so he asked at the moment.

"He...... Oh yes, it's the first time you've met Jiankang. Let me introduce it to you, this is the child of your second uncle's family, after the death of the second brother, I saw that he was pitiful, so I came over to raise the second brother! Lin Baixin's explanation, he suddenly realized, he did hear his father mention to Lin Jianming that the ninth uncle succeeded a young son in the second uncle's family, who was younger than him.

"It turned out to be an uncle, it's the first time we've met!"

Lin Xiaozhi nodded at him at the moment, not showing affection. Come to think of it, calling uncle to someone who is older than you meet for the first time, I guess I won't be happy to put it on anyone.

“…… It's not the first time I've seen each other, I remember seeing each other for a while when I was a kid when I went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. It's just that it's been too long, Achi, you should have forgotten about it! "This Lin Jiankang was born white, he always had a smile on his face, just looking at his appearance gives people a feeling of wanting to be close, no wonder Lin Baixin didn't think about helping with education after so many brothers passed away, only succeeded Lin Jiankang alone.

However, his deliberate words to get closer to the relationship made Lin Xiaozhi's eyes narrow slightly. He felt that his young uncle's ambition was probably not much smaller than Lin Jianming's. Uncle Nine has such three sons, and the future will have to be tossed.

Lin Baixin made no secret of her love for him, and after taking the initiative to introduce him to Lin Xiaozhi, she didn't forget to help him get closer to herself, "You are an expert in playing movies, Akang, this kid also has artistic cells, he usually likes to read books, listen to concerts, and watch movies. This kid loves your movies so much, how close and close you two are when you have time! ”

Lin Jiankang really didn't miss the opportunity he created for himself, and said: "I really like watching movies, by the way, a great talent, can you reveal in advance, I can't wait if there is a plan to open a new film recently......"

Lin Xiaozhi smiled slightly, "There is a plan to make a new film, and the script has already been made, but I am busy with the wedding recently, and I will have to take a short vacation to rest for a few days after that, and it is estimated that the start of the film will be after the New Year." ”

Lin Jiankang couldn't hide his excitement when he heard this, "That's really good news, I can't wait to see your new movie." If there is anything that can be used for wedding preparations, I don't have much work on my hands lately, so I just have some free time to help! ”

"It's almost busy, when the wedding is held, don't forget to come and have a good time!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

The harmonious atmosphere was just as he guessed, and it seemed that tonight's trip to the Lin Mansion was just a gossip. I can't wait to reveal in advance that there are plans to open a new film recently......"

Lin Xiaozhi smiled slightly, "There is a plan to make a new film, and the script has already been made, but I am busy with the wedding recently, and I will have to take a short vacation to rest for a few days after that, and it is estimated that the start of the film will be after the New Year." ”

Lin Jiankang couldn't hide his excitement when he heard this, "That's really good news, I can't wait to see your new movie." If there is anything that can be used for wedding preparations, I don't have much work on my hands lately, so I just have some free time to help! ”

"It's almost busy, when the wedding is held, don't forget to come and have a good time!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

The harmonious atmosphere was just as he guessed, and it seemed that tonight's trip to the Lin Mansion was just a gossip.
