"I don't know what you think about the current Huaxia capital market?"

In this quiet private club, an old man in his eighties looked at the young man sitting in front of him with a smile and admiration. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info looked Zhong Shi up and down for a long time, and then asked seemingly casually.

Although he has been in a state of pampering for many years, after all, he is old, and obvious age spots have appeared on his face. However, his hair is still jet black, and although his hairline has receded badly, he is meticulously groomed.

On the bridge of his nose is a pair of boxy, black-rimmed antique glasses, which are now almost extinct in the market, and only older people like this style, and they are at least sixty years old.

In Hong Kong, as long as it comes to this style of glasses, many people will think of one person, and that is the public richest man in China, Li Jiacheng.

As the super-rich who once dominated the Chinese world for decades, Lee Ka-shing is not only a symbol of wealth, but also a symbol of the entire Chinese business community. Although the growth rate of his wealth has slowed down greatly in recent years, this has not affected his influence in the slightest.

Today, he suddenly personally invited Zhong Shi to come and sit down, so there was a conversation above.

As a super-rich man who has suddenly fallen into the sky in Hong Kong in the past 20 years, Lee Ka-shing has not paid much attention to Zhong Shi, and has also tacitly assumed that his second son has more dealings with Zhong Shi. However, Li Ergongzi and Zhong Shi don't know if the two have the wrong temperament or the aura is incompatible, in short, the two have not established the friendship as Li Jiacheng wanted.

Today, Li Jiacheng was entrusted by a big man to personally come to test Zhongshi's tone. At the same time, he also wanted to have a good chat with this rising star, so he facilitated this meeting.

If there are a few people in Hong Kong who must be treated with special respect, then in addition to the chief executive, Lee Ka-shing should be ranked first on this list. Not only is he a businessman veteran, but he also has a close relationship with Hong Kong.

At this time, Zhong Shi sat respectfully opposite Li Jiacheng, with his legs folded, his waist straight, his head slightly lowered, and an attitude of listening carefully, which made Li Jiacheng very satisfied.

The clubhouse was also chosen to a very high standard: the basic color palette of dark black is decorated, but in the subtleties there are gold everywhere to show the dignity of the status. In the center of the room are four long leather sofas, which are high-end chairs imported from Italy. On the coffee table in the middle of them, red wine, tea sets, cigars, ash boxes and other items are neatly arranged.

Li Ka-shing sat in the main seat facing the door, and Zhong Shi sat opposite him. When the waiter finished his things, he respectfully withdrew, leaving only the two men in the room.

"China's capital market?"

After hearing Li Jiacheng's question, Zhong Shi was slightly surprised, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Li Sheng, you may not know that I basically do not carry out capital operations in the mainland. So you want to ask me about this, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. ”

"I started out in business, and everyone in Hong Kong knows that my first pot of gold came from plastic flowers."

Li Jiacheng laughed, took a sip of the teacup, and then said, "Now my company is involved in infrastructure, import and export, real estate, banking, petroleum, public utilities and other industries, employing more than 10,000 employees, business all over the world, and the company's market value is more than one trillion. But Zhong Sheng, what I said doesn't mean anything else, I just want to tell you that I do my business, you do your finance, and there is no fundamental conflict of interest. Even if there is, we can make a fortune together, right? ”

"You're welcome to hear you smoke, here's the best Cuban cigar."

After finishing speaking, seeing that Zhong Shi did not touch the things on the table, Li Jiacheng waved his hand and urged, "This is my favorite place to chat with friends, enjoy yourself here, relax and communicate frankly." ”

"Li Sheng is going to tell me, it's right to be blunt, is that right?"

Zhong Shi smiled, took out a cigar and sniffed it, then lit the lighter and roasted slowly, a cigar aroma immediately spread, "I'm not worried about a conflict of interest between us. Frankly speaking, I have been observing the capital market in China during this time, from the original bull market to the current sharp collapse, I can only say that the current capital market in China is very chaotic, and all forces have mixed into it, which has led to today's situation. ”

"Among them, there are those who really promote the rise of the stock market, there are also many speculative elements, and there are even institutions with ulterior motives."

Lighting the cigar with a match, Zhong Shi took a deep breath, let the smoke of the cigar pass through his nasal cavity, and then slowly exhaled, "Every force is not something I can afford to provoke, and I don't plan to get involved in this troubled water, so I have no opinion on the capital market in Huaxia." ”

"Young people after all!"

Li Jiacheng smiled helplessly, and personally poured half a glass of red wine for Zhong Shi with a wine bottle, "Our generation is different from you, when I fled to Hong Kong during the war years, I couldn't even eat a mouthful of food. At that time, I was very small, and I only thought about how to survive in this world every day. It wasn't until the 70s that I made a name for myself and made it to the high society of Hong Kong and the British that I realized that the whole world was not as simple as I thought. At that time, even a small police commissioner in the British was full of disdain for the Chinese in private, let alone the high-ranking Governor of Hong Kong and the Queen's government. ”

"This kind of discrimination is not on the surface, on the surface they will be polite to you. But even in private, a small British policeman dared to be disrespectful to me. I believe you should know why, because Hong Kong is their colony, we are inferior citizens of the British Empire, and their white-skinned aborigines are not on the same level, because we are yellow-skinned, speak the vernacular, and eat soy milk fritters for breakfast instead of milk bread, it's that simple. ”

Speaking of this, Li Jiacheng was a little excited.

"That's why I was the first to buy a British-owned bank, even if it was debt."

He took a sip of tea, and after calming down, his face finally regained his calm, "I and a few friends raised funds to buy a bank from the British, which is today's Hutchison." That acquisition not only created a precedent for Chinese to acquire British-funded institutions, but also truly made the Chinese consortium valued by the entire British business community. Later, both the Governor of Hong Kong and the Commissioner of Police were respectful when they saw me, and they truly regarded me as an equal. ”

"Of course, I'm not going to talk to you today to teach you experience or anything."

After talking freely for a long time, Li Jiacheng finally changed his words, "Through the practical examples that happened to me, I just want to tell you one thing, only self-improvement others will truly respect you." This is true everywhere, whether it is an individual or an entire country. ”

"After the 80s, my wealth reached a point where I could retire and enjoy life to the fullest. But I didn't, because my wealth was obtained from the society, and I want to give back to the society, and I want to take this responsibility. I believe you know very well what happened after that, I donated to schools, hospitals, scientific research, etc., these are part of my social responsibility. ”

"And you, as the richest person in Hong Kong and even the richest in the world, also have a historical responsibility on your shoulders. Heaven has chosen you to achieve where you are now, and it has also given you responsibility. It's just that you're young now, and I'm afraid you haven't realized it yet. Your financial prowess is far beyond my reach. Don't waste this talent, use it where it works, and don't simply use it as a tool to make money. ”

"Li Sheng came to me this time, it seems that it is not as simple as chatting."

After being silent for a long time, Zhong Shi put down his cigar and said seriously, "According to the content of the conversation so far, I think this conversation is to persuade me to participate in the capital market of Huaxia, right?" If I'm not mistaken, you're going to rise to the level of national security next, aren't you? ”

"At our level, nationality is still a problem?"

Li Jiacheng shook his finger, "I won't coerce you with patriotic or anything, and I don't use this theory to convince myself." The driving force behind my work every day is my tens of thousands of employees and my families who live on their paychecks. Think about it, if one day my company goes out of business, how many of my employees will lose their jobs, how many families will break up, how many children will lose their happy childhood, and how many human tragedies will happen? ”

"That's what I call responsibility. This is the reason why I still keep working every day even though I am already in my old age. ”

“……”

This sentence shocked Zhong Shi greatly, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

For a long time, Zhong Shi and his team have been controlled in a very small range, at most a few hundred people, and through the way of shareholding, everyone in Tianyu Fund has reached the level of net worth of tens of millions or more, which can be said to be the richest group in the world. Therefore, Zhong Shi never realized the question of what these people would do if the Tianyu Fund was gone one day.

But for large corporations that are in the tens of thousands, it's not the same thing at all. If something like what Li Jiacheng said happens, it will not only become a problem of large-scale unemployment, but will also evolve into a serious social problem.

Extending this to one country makes the problem even more serious. For a country like Huaxia, if China's capital market collapses completely, it will not only affect some listed companies and small and medium-sized shareholders, but also the families behind them, those innocent people who may fall into a difficult situation because of the collapse of the stock market.

And it is clearly unfair that those people, those living beings, will be plunged into misery because of the greed and intrigue of some people.

If it is a citizen of another country, Zhong Shi can completely ignore it. But these people are their own people, speak the same language, and have the same culture. From this point alone, Zhong Shi could not convince his conscience at all.

For a moment he fell into a deep silence.

"That's a good point!"

At this moment, a person suddenly pushed the door in from the outside and broke the silence in the room, "Mr. Li, what you said is really good. is worthy of being a well-known entrepreneur, and his career can be so successful, and his ideological realm is indeed superior. To be honest, I was embarrassed to hear you outside the door. ”

"Is that you?"

After seeing the face of the visitor, Zhong Shi lost his voice and said, "It's actually you, who was able to invite Li Sheng to be your lobbyist?" I really didn't expect it! ”

"Of course it's not me, how can I have such a skill."

Gao Dongfang smiled and shook his head, "There is someone else who entrusts Li Sheng to speak, and I am just another lobbyist." How about it, Zhong Sheng, are you interested in fighting side by side together? (To be continued.) )
