Xu Guanwu held a glass of juice and wandered among the guests of the dinner, looking for Li Jiacheng's whereabouts.

A moment later, in the corner of the room, Xu Guanwu found Li Jiacheng, who was talking to Mr. Shen Bi.

Seeing Li Jiacheng and Shen Bi talking and laughing, Xu Guanwu's face couldn't help but change slightly.

Before he figured out what Li Jiacheng thought of him, he still didn't want to see him climb the towering giant tree of Shen Bi.

Xu Guanwu calmed down and walked over with a smile, "What are you talking about, so happy?" You don't mind if I sit in on it, do you? ”

"Of course I don't mind, Xu, it's been a long time." Shen Bi said with a smile.

"It's my honor to have Mr. Xu here, and I naturally won't mind." Li Jiacheng also said with a smile, from his expression and tone, there was no angry component.

However, Xu Guanwu was not careless because of this, mixed up like them, he has experienced too many ups and downs, who would easily write his heart on his face.

"Then I'll be thankful." Xu Guanwu sat down with a smile and said, but he didn't speak again, but really put on an appearance of listening.

"Xu, I haven't seen you for a few days, what have you been busy with lately?" Shen Bi asked with a smile.

Xu Guanwu spent half a year staying in the mainland last year, and spent some time with Lin Qingxia, and when he came out to lead the overall situation again, it was almost the end of the year. It can be said that last year, he didn't put too much energy into his career, so he rarely had contact with Shen Bi.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a blind rush." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"You're still so modest, who doesn't know about the movies you invested in. has achieved a super high box office, earning hundreds of millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of dollars, which is almost making people jealous to death. Shen Bi said with a smile.

"My little money is nothing to you. You, HSBC, are the real big ones, in charge of Hong Kong's money printing power, and you can't get how much money you want. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"It's a joke, it is impossible to print money indiscriminately if you have the right to print money." Shen Bi waved his hand and said, "How can you compare to your real money, you can always make a lot of money." ”

"Yes, Mr. Xu's investment vision is accurate. It's really breathtaking. Li Jiacheng also said jokingly.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile, "Actually, I'm just lucky, but Mr. Li started from scratch." Step by step to the present, is the real investment vision. Otherwise, Mr. Shen Bi would not have planned to hand over Hutchison Whampoa to you. ”

After Xu Guanwu finished speaking, Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng both showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Shen Bi chose Li Ka-shing as the candidate to take over Hutchison Whampoa. It's just a big secret now. It was only rumored that Lee Ka-shing wanted to buy Hutchison Whampoa. Everyone was laughing at him, he was just a fool's dream.

Although Hutchison Whampoa's share price is sluggish, its market value is far lower than that of Century Assets, which has assets of more than HK$6 billion. And Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong is only 700 million Hong Kong dollars. He wanted to use 700 million Cheung Kong Industrial to buy 6 billion Hutchison Whampoa, but he was simply greedy enough to swallow the elephant, and he died before he could swallow it.

Therefore, for Li Jiacheng's desire to acquire Hutchison Whampoa, the outside world thinks that it is too child's play and does not take it seriously. But who would know that Shen Bi had already chosen Li Jiacheng and was willing to give him Hutchison Whampoa for free?

However, Shen Bi is just secretly plotting with Li Jiacheng now, and he has not announced it. Because Hutchison Whampoa is too important. It can be called the leading large company in Hong Kong British and foreign companies. If the matter of giving Li Jiacheng for free is leaked out in advance, it will definitely cause a lot of shock in Hong Kong's business circles.

I didn't expect Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng to secretly plan. was unexpectedly broken by Xu Guanwu at this time, which immediately made the two of them very nervous.

Shen Bi was nervous that once the British shareholder knew that he was going to give the shares to Li Jiacheng, a Chinese, for free, he would definitely get in the way. Even if he is impeached as a bank leader, it is estimated that he will be labeled a "traitor" at that time, and he will end up in disrepute.

In fact, in his previous life, when Li Jiacheng obtained the shares of Hutchison Whampoa with empty gloves, it did cause great dissatisfaction among British-funded businessmen in Hong Kong, and scolded Shen Bi for betraying the interests of British-funded foreigners. It's just that the contract has been signed at that time, and the rice has been cooked, even if they make trouble, they can't change the facts, so after tossing for a while, there is no further news. However, at that time, Shen Bi was still a little disgraced.

Li Jiacheng was nervous that the news leaked out, in case it was known that he might buy Hutchison Whampoa, and it was obtained by the method of empty gloves and white wolves, a large number of businessmen would definitely come to disrupt the situation.

There are many talented businessmen in Hong Kong, and Lee Ka-shing cannot be one against a hundred. In addition, there are also many businessmen who have a good relationship with Shen Bi, HSBC, Hong Kong governors, and major chambers of commerce. At that time, Zhilu Dao News jumped out to compete with him, even if Shen Bi strongly supports him now, but it will be difficult to say at that time.

And Hutchison Whampoa is very important to him, just like the carp jumping over the dragon gate, swallowing Hutchison Whampoa, a large company with assets of more than one billion US dollars, he has been worth a hundred times since then. And if you don't get the company Hutchison Whampoa, although you can become a rich person in the future, it will be difficult to become a first-class top rich. So he must not give up this opportunity.

……

Xu Guanwu saw that Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng both had surprised expressions on their faces, and he couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed. I thought that although you were secretly planning and thought it was a perfect plan, I didn't think that I had crossed over from the afterlife, and your little calculation was a hole in the fire for me.

After a long time, Li Jiacheng came back to his senses, and asked with an embarrassed smile, "Where did Mr. Xu hear the news, and when did Mr. Shen Bi choose me as the successor of Hutchison Whampoa?" It's just my wishful thinking to buy Hutchison Whampoa. ”

"Oh?! Did I hear it wrong? Xu Guan looked surprised, "You are really not the successor chosen by Mr. Shen Bi, Hutchison Whampoa?" ”

"This ...... Of course not. Li Jiacheng hesitated. I couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook my head.

"You really didn't choose him as the successor of Hutchison Whampoa?" Xu Guanwu pointed at Li Jiacheng and asked Shen Bidao with a smile.

Shen Bi also came back to his senses at this moment, and heard Xu Guanwu ask. couldn't help waving his hand awkwardly, "No, no, you must have heard it wrong." Although Hutchison Whampoa is not doing well now, we still believe in the ability of the company's top management and have not thought about finding someone to replace us. ”

"I see, since you don't have a choice at all. Mr. Lee Ka-shing was not selected at all. That's good, just leave Hutchison Whampoa to me to manage. Xu Guanwu Ha said with a smile, "I will buy it at a price three yuan higher than the market price." How is it? ”

Shen Bi listened to Xu Guanwu's words and couldn't help but be embarrassed. If Xu Guanwu had said it half a year earlier, he would definitely have resold Hutchison Whampoa to him without saying a word.

But now he has actually chosen Li Jiacheng. And the negotiations have already touched on the core issues. Now if you change course. It's already too late. Even if he can afford it, Hutchison Whampoa can't afford it.

"Okay, okay, I don't know how you know about such a secret thing, but since you already know about it, then this matter must be kept secret. That's right, I did choose Mr. Lee as the successor to Hutchison Whampoa. Shen Bi was embarrassed for a long time, and he really couldn't think of any other way. simply had a showdown with Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu nodded, and the matter really did not exceed his judgment. "Very well, I'll consider keeping it a secret for you." As he spoke, he observed the expressions of Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng.

Seeing Shen Bi, he had a relieved expression, while Li Jiacheng had a puzzled expression on his face. Xu Guanwu already had a number in his heart, "Mr. Li, do you have any doubts in your heart now?" ”

"That's good," Li Jiachang originally wanted to shake his head and say no, but thinking of the experience of dealing with Xu Guanwu several times, he judged that Xu Guanwu was a person who liked to go straight and didn't like to go around in circles, so he simply nodded, "Mr. Xu, with your net worth, with your status, and with your relationship with Mr. Shen Bi, you can compete with me for Hutchison Whampoa, why do you want to keep it secret for us now?" ”

When Xu Guanwu heard him ask, he couldn't help but smile and waved his hand, "I'm lazy by nature, and I don't have the slightest interest in real estate." So even if Hutchison Whampoa is given to me for free, I will not want to ask for it. This is my sincere words, Mr. Shen Bi can testify that he wanted me to take over this company a long time ago, but I refused. ”

Shen Bi nodded on the side, "That's right, Mr. Xu is indeed the first person I chose, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the slightest interest in running real estate." Otherwise, Hutchison Whampoa had already taken over by him, and the company's performance would not have been so sluggish. ”

"Since Mr. Xu has no interest in real estate, why would he take a stake in my company? And as far as I know, there are not a few real estate companies that Mr. Xu has invested in, such as Hopewell Real Estate and Henderson Land, which are now all first-line large-scale real estate companies in Hong Kong. Li Jiacheng asked suspiciously.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Although I have no interest in running real estate, I am very interested in making money." Hong Kong is a very small place, and there is no other way to expand the property than land reclamation. With the development of Hong Kong's economy, Hong Kong's real estate market is bound to become more and more prosperous, so I choose to invest in real estate companies, and I am also happy to buy real estate as an investment. You get the explanation, right? ”

Li Jiacheng nodded, and then asked suspiciously, "Then why did Mr. Xu choose the company below?" There are so many real estate companies in Hong Kong, and my Cheung Kong is just a small company. ”

"There are more talented businessmen in Hong Kong, why did Mr. Shen Bi choose you as the successor of Hutchison Whampoa?" Xu Guanwu did not answer Li Jiacheng's question directly, but asked with a smile.

Li Jiacheng was stunned at all of a sudden.

"The reason is simple, because I appreciate your business talent as much as Mr. Shen Bi. So even though your company is a small company, I chose it because of you. Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "I remember explaining to you before that I have no interest in running a real estate company. At the time, you were always a little skeptical, but now that the words have been clearly spoken, you should always believe in my sincerity, right? ”

"But what is this for?" Li Jiacheng asked more and more confusedly, "Since Mr. Xu knows that Hong Kong real estate must make money, and he says that he likes to make money very much, why doesn't he get involved in real estate companies?" ”

"Speaking of which, you're still worried that I'll one day swallow up your company and take your Cheung Kong for myself." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "That's good, I'll make a gentleman's alliance with you, with Mr. Shen Bi as the notary." I can promise you that as long as you run the company properly and don't take any steps to dilute my shares, I won't care about the company's operations. How is it? ”

"Are you really willing to do that?" Li Jiacheng asked in surprise. (To be continued......)
