Xu Guanwu now owns 30% of the shares of Cheung Kong Industrial, and as long as he has the heart to annex this company, he can do it in minutes with his current financial resources. This is also what Li Jiacheng is most afraid of, because his stake in Cheung Kong Industrial is only 40%.

Now hearing Xu Guanwu say that as long as his shares are not diluted, as long as the company can continue to operate well, he promises not to interfere in the company's operations, which undoubtedly reassures Li Jiacheng.

That's why he asked in surprise, "Mr. Xu, are you really willing to agree to do this?" ”

"Mr. Shen Bi is here today, he can be a notary for you and me, how about it?" Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Then I'm so grateful, I don't know what to say." Li Jiacheng immediately stood up and said incoherently excitedly.

"I don't need to say anything superfluous, I am optimistic about the development potential of Cheung Kong Industrial, and I also believe that Hutchison Whampoa will be able to get out of the current predicament if you take over it." Xu Guanwu nodded and smiled, "So don't disappoint me too much, work hard." ”

"Yes, thank you Mr. Xu for your encouragement, I will definitely continue to work hard." Li Jiacheng nodded and said with a smile.

"Very good, when acquiring Hutchison Whampoa, if you have any financial difficulties, you can come to me for help. I dare not say more, hundreds of millions of dollars are still possible. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

When Li Jiacheng heard Xu Guanwu say this, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression. Although he knew that Xu Guanwu was rich, he didn't know how much net worth he had, and now it seems that he has at least more than a billion dollars in assets. And you can also know by observing Mr. Shen Bi's expression. Xu Guanwu's words were not bragging. It seems that he is really rich and should not be underestimated.

"Mr. Xu is really bold, if there is a need, I will definitely speak." Li Jiacheng also said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu nodded. "In that case, it's decided. Well, I won't bother you guys! With that, Xu Guanwu took the juice and left.

……

Li Jiacheng let out a sigh of relief, "Mr. Shen Bi, our business should be very secret, how did he learn about this?" ”

"I don't understand that. He's always been so mysterious. Shen Bi shook his head and said, "But since he has promised not to interfere again, then we will not pursue this issue first." It's better to sign the contract early. No matter how late it is, I'm afraid Hutchison Whampoa won't be able to hold on. ”

Li Jiacheng nodded, looked at Xu Guanwu who was away with the juice, and couldn't help but be slightly in a daze.

……

On the sixteenth day of the first month, the flavor of the new year gradually faded. Major companies have started to officially go to work one after another. whereas

And at this time, a piece of news came. It immediately alarmed the Hong Kong business community.

Li Jiacheng obtained one-and-a-half of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa in the hands of HSBC, and originally had two or two of the shares, but one of the shares was acquired by Xu Guanwu in advance.

However, the cost paid by Li Jiacheng is almost zero, and half of the shares of HSBC are sold to Li Jiacheng at half of the market price. And instead of collecting the money now, he is allowed to repay the loan within two years. In short, Li Jiacheng used HSBC's loan to acquire Hutchison Whampoa shares in the hands of HSBC.

I don't have to pay a penny. can become the majority shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, and this business is like pie in the sky. Li Jiacheng performs the white wolf stunt of empty gloves. The miracle of a snake swallowing an elephant was successfully staged, and it shook the Hong Kong business community at once.

Previously, many people were not optimistic about the acquisition, believing that he was just daydreaming. Now the dream has come true, and Lee Ka-shing has really made a successful acquisition and become a director of Hutchison Whampoa. And with the support of HSBC, it also has the right to participate in the operation. This has surprised the Hong Kong business community, lamenting Lee's shit luck and questioning HSBC's approach.

This move is simply like giving money to Li Jiacheng for nothing, and for a while, Shen Bi, the head of HSBC, was strongly criticized like never before. In particular, British-funded businessmen in Hong Kong regarded him as a British traitor and announced that they would impeach Shen Bi. He also reported to the British economic department, believing that Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng had a behind-the-scenes transaction, and asked for the acquisition to be judged illegal.

Just when the British-funded businessmen were indignant and vigorously tossing, Xu's media such as "Daily Daily", TVB, and "Phantom of the East" began to advocate for Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng.

First of all, he introduced Li Ka-shing's family history in detail, praised him as an entrepreneur with outstanding vision, and congratulated him on becoming the first director of a Chinese foreign firm in Hong Kong, which can be called the pride of Hong Kong Chinese.

And Mr. Shen Bi is even more discerning, a Bole who is a thousand miles away, bold and bold, and will do such a strange thing. He is a model of a banker and is bound to be among the most well-known bankers in the world.

With the help of these media under Hui's family, the previously silent Hong Kong Chinese began to make noise. It is true that Hong Kong has been a colony for many years, and in the early days the Chinese were second-class nationals, and they were always bullied by whites and even Indian Ahsan.

It was only after the fierce protests in Hong Kong in the 60s that the Governor began to think about improving people's livelihood. Therefore, the Chinese who are only a little older now still remember the hardships they suffered before.

Therefore, when they realized that Lee Ka-shing's successful acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa and became the first director of a Chinese foreign company in Hong Kong, they all regarded him as the pride of the Chinese.

For a time, dragon and lion dances were once again performed on the streets of Hong Kong, with gongs, drums and firecrackers set off to celebrate this groundbreaking event. The major Chinese chambers of commerce in Hong Kong have also seen the rise of Chinese businessmen, although they are still jealous of Li Jiacheng's shit luck, but it is only an internal contradiction, and against those British-funded businessmen, it is a common defense against foreign enemies.

The media under the Xu's Group even asked one after another on behalf of Chinese businessmen, "For what kind of Chinese acquisition of British-funded foreign companies will cause such a big wave." However, the acquisition of Chinese companies by British-funded foreign banks seems to be logical?! ”

"Why can a foreigner be a director of a Chinese company, but a Chinese cannot be a director of a British-funded foreign firm? Could it be that the British still think that now is the time when Hong Kong has just opened its port? ”

"For what innocent transactions have to be discredited as illegal transactions? It was the previous inaction of the British authorities in Hong Kong that led to rampant corruption in Hong Kong. Why didn't you criticize the Governor of Hong Kong in the first place, but now you have to do nothing? ”

……

A series of sharp questions were asked, and the British-funded businessmen who asked were disgraced.

They want to refute. But I only have an English-language newspaper on hand.

Now in this atmosphere of exaggerating patriotic feelings, other Chinese newspapers, even if they are greedy for money, do not dare to speak for British-funded businessmen anymore, otherwise they will be directly labeled as "traitors" by people.

The sales of English-language newspapers are not very high, especially in the middle and lower classes. Therefore, even though many rebuttal articles are published, they are hardly visible in the middle and lower classes, and their influence in society is naturally limited.

And the newspapers of the Hui Group. It is the newspaper with the largest circulation in Hong Kong, especially among the lower middle class, and is almost the only newspaper they read. It can be said that the influence is enormous.

TVB is the No. 1 TV station in ratings, and its influence is spread to thousands of households. In order to help Li Jiacheng do publicity, Xu Guanwu specially invited him to the TV station for an interview, and hired many economic experts to analyze it together. Speak for Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng.

With the help of these TV shows. Li Jiacheng's popularity in Hong Kong has increased greatly, and his gentle and elegant image, step by step fortune process, has also been packaged as a representative of the "Hong Kong dream", as long as you are diligent, you can make money, as long as you are willing to use your brain, you can make a fortune...... This inspired many middle- and lower-class people and made them loyal fans of Lee Ka-shing.

British-funded businessmen also plan to do programs on TV stations, but unfortunately the two TV stations in Hong Kong are now owned by Chinese. There is also a TV station where Chinese are also managers. This is the time to share the same hatred, so the three television stations asked for the British businessman. All of them were turned away, and there was no way to make the British businessmen stomp their feet.

……

The overwhelming preponderance of public opinion has greatly encouraged the patriotic feelings of the Chinese people in Hong Kong, and a very strong public opinion has been formed. Under the outpouring of public opinion, even the governor of Hong Kong had to be cautious.

Therefore, even if the British-funded businessmen shouted loudly, ran more diligently, and made more trouble, the Hong Kong Governor's Office did not dare to blatantly support it. This relieved a lot of pressure on Li Jiacheng and Shen Bi, allowing them to calmly deal with future difficulties.

The Hui Group has made Li Jiacheng the pride of the Chinese, which has also greatly increased his popularity and greatly improved his image. The improvement of personal image naturally affects the image of its company. For example, a number of real estate projects under development under Cheung Kong have attracted a lot of attention before they officially start for sale; And many of his properties are also sought after, and many merchants want to rent a stall but can't.

As a result, Lee Ka-shing became the hottest business star in Hong Kong, and at the same time, with the help of such surging public opinion, he quickly opened up his momentum in Hutchison Whampoa and successfully became the most influential person on the board of directors of Hutchison.

And he was able to obtain so many benefits, in addition to thanking Shen Bi for his strong support, he naturally had to thank Xu Guanwu for his generous assistance. If Xu Guanwu hadn't supported him behind his back, Li Jiacheng would not have come out of the predicament so quickly. And without the vigorous praise of the media under the Xu Group, Li Jiacheng would not have made much profit.

And the reason why Xu Guanwu wants to help Li Jiacheng is not because he is full. It is also to ensure that their own interests will not be harmed by this turmoil.

If he is carried on like this by a British-funded businessman, Shen Bi may be transferred, and this alone has made Xu Guanwu unbearable.

He has formed a very good friend with Shen Bi, and the cooperation between the two has always been smooth. Xu Guanwu's deposits in HSBC were all managed by Shen Bi, and his annual income was also very considerable. And with the help of Shen Bi, the God of Wealth, Xu Guanwu can also pull the banner as a tiger skin in Hong Kong, and many times as long as the relationship is revealed, other companies will have to bow down.

If he is replaced by a new bank class, even if he can get along with him, it will at least take a certain amount of energy to build an equally intimate relationship, which is really troublesome for Xu Guanwu. Simply in order to keep his current connections, he didn't want anything to happen to Shen Bi.

Moreover, Xu Guanwu knew that Hutchison Whampoa was revitalized in the hands of Li Jiacheng, and if another British-funded businessman took over, I am afraid that Hutchison Whampoa would not be as prosperous as in his previous life. And Xu Guanwu spent a lot of money to absorb the shares of Hutchison Whampoa Yicheng, and pointed out that it could bring rich profits to himself.

If Xu Guanwu lost the opportunity to make a fortune because of the messing around of those British-funded businessmen, he would not sit idly by and watch this kind of thing happen.

And he is also the major shareholder of Cheung Kong Industrial, if Li Jiacheng can not successfully take the helm of Hutchison Whampoa, then Cheung Kong will have less opportunities to rise rapidly, and the future will be at most a medium-sized real estate company, which will make Xu Guanwu's investment income shrink significantly.

Therefore, the stakes are at stake, so he will not sit idly by and watch Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng be taken down by these British-funded businessmen.

People are of the same mind and reason, and many businessmen who are good friends with Shen Bi are also worried about losing this connection, so they also jump out to help him speak.

So many wealthy businessmen helped Shen Bi to speak, so that the British government had to think carefully, so a storm gradually became invisible. (To be continued......)
