It was past noon, Lin Xiaozhi glanced at the time on his watch, and then slowly walked into the restaurant with Gao Sen.

This is just an ordinary Western restaurant, but whether it is him Lin Xiaozhi or the person who is waiting for his arrival, he obviously has no mood to pay attention to the quality of the restaurant.

"Sir, how many of you are there?" Seeing someone enter the restaurant, a waiter quickly walked over.

"I'm looking for someone, where is Block C17?"

"Please go this way, sir. Walk all the way to the end of the aisle and stay in the penultimate position in the row on the left! ”

"Thank you!"

Because of a temporary encounter, Lin Xiaozhi and the others arrived a little later than the agreed time. But neither he, the invitee, nor the invitee, who was waiting for his arrival, clearly didn't care about this issue.

In fact, when the two of them appeared in front of the inviter, although he was already dozens of minutes late, there was not much impatience and annoyance on the person's face at all, even though his face was dark, he still took the initiative to say hello to Lin Xiaozhi, "Thank you Lin Sheng for your face today......

Without Lin Xiaozhi's explanation, after Gao Sen saw that there was only one person on the other side, he took the initiative to sit down in an unmanned seat nearby, making room for the two of them to communicate.

As soon as he left, Lin Xiaozhi immediately sat down and opened his mouth, and his tone was a little playful: "It's really unexpected, Yu Sheng will take the initiative to call me!" ”

There was a bit of irony in the words, because it was no one else who took the initiative to call him today to invite him to come out to 'have something to talk about', it was Yu Pinhai, the new owner of Ming Pao who had a very wrong relationship with him before.

Yu Pinhai naturally heard the irony in his words, and it was indeed ironic, because a month ago, it was he who dismissed Lin Xiaozhi's face without appreciation after receiving Lin Xiaozhi's dinner invitation, and no one expected him to be angry at the crown, the two were like mortal enemies with a deep hatred of blood, and after a fierce fight, he lost and lost in Yu Pinhai, and the man in front of him who was younger than himself almost ruined his dream of a business empire that he had worked hard for several years.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt a surge of anger rush through his head, and his face became more and more gloomy. Yu Pinhai has never been a master who is willing to swallow his anger, he has earned hundreds of millions of net worth at a young age, and he has made countless so-called seniors and giants bend their waists in the capital world, and he has a sense of recklessness in his chest, if he was left a month ago, who would dare to give him such a faceless speech with ridicule, I am afraid that it is Li Chaoren, the richest man in China, and others, he also dares to fight back without buying it.

But now......

took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the unwillingness and anger boiling in his chest. He studied in Canada in his early years, and his style was very Westernized, so he usually invited people to stay in Western restaurants. This will give him the stairs down, only to see Yu Pinhai pretend to take a sip of the coffee in front of him, and after calming down his anger, he spoke: "There is indeed some misunderstanding between me and Lin Sheng, and I am also to blame for this." Not long after Fang took over Ming Pao, he paid less attention to the newspapers and magazines below, and took over and caused some contradictions, and asked Lin Sheng to forgive me......"

The corners of his mouth curved slightly, Lin Xiaozhi squinted at him and looked at Yu Pinhai, who had calmed down, and secretly said funny.

When the second Wenhua meeting was held before, I thought that Lin Xiaozhi wanted to make a few more friends in line with the attitude of convincing people with virtue. At that time, although he was already very annoyed that Ming Pao was looking for his fault, he still had some thoughts of peaceful settlement and invited him to a banquet in Pinhai.

But the result?

He didn't appreciate Yu Pinhai at all, but instead spoke disrespectfully and took the initiative to provoke him. As a result, after being 'repaired' by him, he finally had the idea of bowing his head, but he still pushed the responsibility and blamed all the people below Ming Pao. Sure enough, character determines fate, if he remembers correctly, Yu Pinhai in history failed to keep the TV station he co-operated with the mainland, and I heard that he lost Ming Pao in a few years and offended Jin Yong miserably, and even Hong Kong's first Internet service provider (ISP) HKNET, which he set up as a precedent for Hong Kong's Internet, also lost to Hong Kong Telecom and other companies.

Thinking about it, even if he didn't make a move, this person's temperament would suffer sooner or later.

But now......

He smiled slightly, looking at Yu Pinhai with blazing eyes, but his smile was a little cold, "Yu Sheng, to paraphrase a movie line 'If Dao Gong apologizes is useful, do you still need the police' (first appeared in Shi Banyu's Chinese dubbed version of "Hundred Changing Star Jun", not the first in the Taiwanese version of "Meteor Garden"). We are all adults, and since Yu Sheng took the initiative to come to the door to ask for peace, it should also be clear that I can't stop easily. ”

Indeed, among the four major media, Next Media offended him the most, but Li Zhiying's pro-British stance and his pro-British stance are close to many anti-mainland politicians, and most of the properties he holds are not related to Lin Xiaozhi's business. The same is true for the Oriental newspaper industry, the Ma family's position is close to Taiwan, and the family also has many other industries in Taiwan and the United Kingdom.

Sing Tao Newspaper seems to have been plagued by the wrong diversification strategy of newspaper queen Hu Xian's real estate venture, but as Hong Kong's largest newspaper group in the past, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and how much benefit he can get from it depends on how he operates. There are too many unstable factors in these three, but it seems to be a Ming Pao with a lot of influence, but there is not much complicated background and capital, and the new owner Yu Pinhai is now caught by him and played with pigtails half to death, and it is time to harvest.

He has been poured a lot of cold water in the past two months, and even exposed the problem of stepping on two boats, Rao is that his skin has been honed thick enough, and he still feels embarrassed for a while.

Now, it's time to collect the bills.

To paraphrase a famous line that would only appear a few years later in history, it alluded to Yu Pinhai. Straight to this arrogant nature of the capital master's face in shame for a while red, a moment green, and a moment white.

He also lost his red eyes, so he had a bit of luck. Now that Lin Xiaozhi has made all his friends avoid him, the rich people who wanted to make money from him in the past are now hate to recover the investment money from him immediately, and they have reached the point of exhaustion. This is not counting the N credibility he has lost as a result, which will make it difficult for him to do business in Hong Kong in the future, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for a rich man and a bank to lend to him. was so badly pitted by Lin Xiaozhi, if he could, of course he was not willing to pay more to stop this 'war'.

However, Lin Xiaozhi's words ruined his last bit of extravagance, and clearly told him, 'If you want to talk about peace, you can show sincerity that satisfies me'. What this sincerity is is very clear to Pinhai, it is the Ming Pao shares in his hand.

After understanding that it was impossible to exchange peace for him, the smile on Yu Pinhai's barely maintained face was gone, his face turned completely cold, and he looked at him gloomily and said coldly: "I know that you want the Ming Pao shares in my hand, and I also admit that you Lin Xiaozhi is superior." That's right, I'm really miserable and short of money right now, and I still have 35 in my hand. 8% of Ming Pao shares, buy them and you get a controlling stake in Ming Pao. You want, okay, take 190 million Hong Kong dollars, not a single penny. ”

Obviously, when he announced his resignation as vice chairman of the board of directors and president of Ming Pao Newspaper Group a few days ago, he was ready to sell his shares in Ming Pao in Pinhai.

This price is not a loss compared to his investment in Ming Pao in the past year, but it is much higher if you use the current stock price of Ming Pao. Lin Xiaozhi calculated a little in his heart, and immediately calculated that it was nearly two percent higher. smiled coldly at the moment, "190 million, did you think my money was blown by the wind?" It seems that Yu Sheng's sincerity is not enough, so it's better to do this, I'll leave you a month, let's see how many rich people in Hong Kong are willing to give you this price. It's only a month, and I can afford to wait. ”

His words made Yu Pinhai's eyes sharpen, and the anger in the eyes that looked at him could not be suppressed.

Yes, now that he Lin Xiaozhi has made it clear that Chema wants to acquire three listed media, whoever dares to intervene at this juncture is to make it clear that he will not give him Lin Xiaozhi face. With his current influence in many media outlets, it is easy to make a stink of which rich man is in. Not to mention the examples of him and Ma Jia, Li Zhiying and Hu Xian, that is, recently, several lawyers who originally agreed to accept their hiring to provide legal defense for them also chose to refund their positions after being 'cared for' by ATV and Chengbao after exposing some scandals one after another, and did not dare to go to court for them to confront Lin Xiaozhi.

His method of retribution undoubtedly shocked many people. Now it is estimated that he Yu Pinhai revealed to the outside world that he was going to sell his shares in Ming Pao, and it is estimated that few local tycoons are willing to offend him. It is estimated that there will be some powerful media companies overseas that are not afraid of his threat from Lin Xiaozhi, but first, it is not conducive to him to return to his capital immediately because it is too long, and secondly, I don't know if Lin Xiaozhi will continue to obstruct him. Now that there are not many hole cards in his hand, Yu Pinhai undoubtedly does not dare to bet on this.

Feeling the anger in his eyes, Lin Xiaozhi just smiled slightly, making it clear that he was sure of him.

To say that he had no grudge against Yu Pinhai, but since he became the owner of Ming Pao, this influential media company in Hong Kong and overseas Chinese circles has begun to constantly smear himself, which makes him extremely angry. After coming out, he still has to return it, the current Yu Pinhai is not worthy of sympathy, he won't die if he doesn't die, no one told him before, but now it's better to replace him as the first person.

Although he was furious in his heart and wanted to give Lin Xiaozhi an old punch, Yu Pinhai finally held back. After thinking about it for a while, he said with difficulty with an ugly face: "150 million, Lin Sheng, don't go too far, you must know that rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry!" ”

Lin Xiaozhi still knows the truth of the dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, and in his heart, this price is relatively reasonable. It is slightly lower than the previous Ming Pao stock price at its peak, and it is basically the same as the current Ming Pao stock price, and you will never suffer a loss if you buy it.

However, Lin Xiaozhi was not satisfied, he just stared at Yu Pinhai calmly, and said a word until he was hairy in his heart, and then slowly said: "Actually, I can't accept the price just now, so let's make a friend, I will bid 190 million Hong Kong dollars to buy all the shares of Ming Pao in your hand, as well as the HKNET company under your name." As a proviso, I guarantee that ATV and Cheng Pao will not report any more negative news about you, and at the same time, as long as you make up for the loan owed to the mainland bank, I will use my connections to help you calm down the mainland side's accountability. ”

"Do you still want HKNET? Don't go too far! ”

Yu Pinhai almost stood up in a hurry, relying on the advantage of height to look at him condescendingly, Tie Qing's face was even more ugly.

Although he was not born again, his early years as a student in Canada were not completely devoid of learning. On the contrary, it was also the booming Internet industry in Canada, which was influenced by the United States, that led to the establishment of Hong Kong's first Internet Service Provider (ISP), HKNET.

Although his HKNET company has only been established for less than a year, in the past year, he has invested at least 10 million US dollars in this company, purchased some technical skills, recruited a lot of technical personnel, and at the same time, he used various connections to obtain the business license approved by the British government in Hong Kong, and if he wanted to sell a month ago, he could sell it at least 100 million yuan.

"That's right!"

Lin Xiaozhi sneered: "I've never been afraid of being bitten by rabbits, I scolded me very well before I was born, I don't want to pay a price, just forget it, how can there be such a good thing in the world." You always have to pay it back when you come out, and I heard that the Hong Kong government has restricted your travel. Believe it or not, I will apply to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for a one-month suspension of trading for a month when I go back today. Then contact your creditors and collectively apply to the court for bankruptcy for you, and force the liquidation of your family property to pay off your debts! ”

"You ......"

Yu Pinhaiden's face changed greatly, because he knew very well that Lin Xiaozhi's words were not just threats and intimidation, he did have this energy.

Poof......

Yu Pinhai, who suddenly became as if he had lost his soul, sat down in his seat, his head lowered slightly, and he lowered his head without saying a word. And Lin Xiaozhi, who was sitting opposite him, just looked at him quietly, and the smile in his eyes became thicker and thicker. The other party didn't shoot the case, and angrily punched him or left immediately, which means that he has actually accepted his asking price, but he is still a little unwilling in his heart.

Sure enough, not long after, when Yu Pinhai, who had been silent for a while, looked up at him with a gloomy face, his expression had completely calmed down, "I promise you, I'll sell you." But don't forget your promises......"

Lin Xiaozhi smiled and nodded but didn't speak, he was not a person who didn't believe in his words. As for the mainland, I believe that the mainland will give him a face, if he holds the three major media outlets of ATV, Sing Pao, and Ming Pao, and at the same time is ostensibly seeking to acquire Oriental Press and Sing Tao Press, the king of Hong Kong's media.
