Chapter 243: The Amnesiac Shenzhen-Hong Kong Taipan (1)
"Then please, I will personally call Li Li." Tan Qidart said a seemingly innocent idea to Xiaoqin, "She can not answer my call, but my colleague's will definitely answer." Don't say I'm here, just ask when she's back. ”
"That's not going to work!" Xiaoqin shook her head and refused, "You are intentional, let me find a scold." ”
Tan Qidart had no choice but to call Li Li one after another, but the other party still did not answer.
He began to get agitated, thought about it, and finally couldn't help but make another extremely excessive request to Xiaoqin. This is, he must be taken to Li Li's residence immediately to retrieve a password suitcase that she entrusted her to keep half a month ago.
Xiaoqin was even more categorical.
She replied, firstly, she had never seen the lockbox that Tan Qidart wanted from Li Li, and secondly, even if she really had it, she couldn't easily let outsiders into the girl's apartment.
Tan Qidart had nothing to do, glared at Xiaoqin a few times, and left the sentence "I will come again", only to leave with a sense of anger and hatred.
Xiaoqin took a breath of cold air and immediately called Li Li.
……
This day is the fourth day that Tan Qidart returned from Japan to China.
From Shenzhen Science and Technology Park through Luohu Customs to Tsuen Wan District in Hong Kong and Kowloon, it is only a few dozen kilometers away, and it took less than an hour for Tan Qidart to drive.
According to Lu Zhichao's instructions, Tan Qidart came to Hong Kong this time to meet a person named Li Zhiyue.
Known as the Murdore of Hong Kong and Kowloon, he has invested extensively in various newspaper media in Hong Kong and Kowloon, Taiwan, and even the Malay Peninsula, with the largest circulation of his newspaper, especially the "Ruffian Daily".
When Tan Qidang finally found Li Zhiyue's office, he was told by the secretary that Li Xian had temporarily accepted an appointment from a Shenzhen-Hong Kong senior class to have morning tea at the Hilton Hotel in Victoria City, where the senior class stayed.
Shenzhen-Hong Kong Taipan?
Tan Qidart didn't know who had such a title.
Since Lai Chi-yue, who has always been well-known in the Hong Kong and Kowloon press circles, went to meet him in person, it can be seen that this person has a noble status and is not like an ordinary company boss.
The secretary explained that this mysterious Shenzhen-Hong Kong Taipan is an up-and-coming young entrepreneur who is active in Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Kowloon, and has actual control over the "New Sun and Moon" electronic newspaper, and it is rare for Mr. Li to wait for this opportunity for the other party to agree to meet.
Tan Qidart left the Tokyo Daimaru Hotel in a hurry early that day because Lu Zhichao had arranged several urgent tasks one after another.
First, we should hurry up and fly to Shanghai as a representative to attend the emergency board of directors of the Falkden Industrial Company, which will be held in the evening of the same day.
The reason is that Liu Kun, the executive president of Falkden Company, has decided to add a huge equity investment in a construction project called Youhu Film and Television Base in Huai at the request of the woman named Qiu Xiangni.
Lu Zhichao, who was suspicious by nature, was not completely at ease with Liu Kun, the partner of the ***, and Qiu Xiangni, Liu Kun's former mistress, for fear that the two would join forces to hollow out Foxden Industry behind their backs in a white-glove way.
Second, he chose to meet with Fan Lizhi in Sanya and bought several copies of the latest electronic map information of the South China Sea from a surveying and mapping engineer through a secret channel that had been established before, including classified deep-sea topographic maps, meteorological maps, and ocean current analysis maps.
This is not only to fulfill a joint intelligence-sharing agreement signed just a few months ago between the Harder Corporation and the Joint Group on International Intelligence Affairs of the Senate and the House of Representatives, but also to be used for the exchange of intelligence between other foreign countries, and Lu Zhichao will take an extremely large commission on the transactions.
But after Tan Qidao returned to Shanghai, attended the board of directors of Fox Deng Industrial Company that day, and reported the meeting to Lu Zhichao overnight, he got two pieces of information that made him feel very angry.
One of them was that the Uma woman named Kasamiqun did not send the travel backpack he left in the military camp of Hulaqid to the Daimaru Hotel in Tokyo at the appointed time that day;
The second is that Fan Lizhi took it upon herself to take the Temple Princess cruise ship from Yokohama instead, and will not arrive in Sanya until the end of this month.
Not only that, Lu Zhichao also gave Tan Qidao a new task, which is to come to Hong Kong and Kowloon to meet with Mr. Lai Zhiyue, the investor of "The Plankton Every Newspaper", to find out what radical activities they have in Hong Kong and Kowloon in the near future.
Originally, Tan Qidart returned to Guangzhou from Shanghai yesterday, in addition to visiting his mother and family, the main thing was to get in touch with Li Li, who was in Shenzhen, so that he could not only get back the portable lockbox, but also take the opportunity to plot the matter of the two of them.
But he didn't expect that Li Li hadn't answered a phone call in the past two days, and even drove to Shenzhen early this morning, and he didn't know if he deliberately hid out.
Tan Qidart had to sigh in his heart, his feelings were so controlled by others, it can be seen that whether it is Li Li, an old acquaintance in the past, or a new acquaintance, Kasa Meiqun, these two women are all hypocritical, and one of them may not be a good thing!
He waited for more than two hours in Lai's office before finally waiting for the news that Mr. Li had informed his secretary that he would take him to the Hilton Hotel in Victoria City for luncheon.
Tan Qidart is naturally very familiar with this hotel.
Because just half a month ago, he was about to leave for South America via Hong Kong and Kowloon, and it was here that he met Li Li in a hurry, and accidentally forgot his hand-held lockbox.
Lunch was solemnly convened and arranged by Li Zhiyue.
When Tan Qidart entered the box, he found that several guests had already been seated. After introduction, I learned that there are university associate professors, lawyers, and a female district councilor who has just been by-elected, all of whom can be regarded as well-known villains in Hong Kong and Kowloon.
Li Zhiyue smiled at Tan Qidang, these three people together with him, because they dared to oppose the Hong Kong government for the sake of opposition, and repeatedly took the lead in calling out, so they are known as the so-called "underground gang" of the elite in Hong Kong and Kowloon's radical activities.
learned of Tan Qidart's intention to be sent to Hong Kong and Kowloon by Lu Zhichao this time, and the "Underground Gang of Others" was flattered. This is because behind Lu Zhichao, he represents the strength and support of the United States.
Li Zhiyue said to everyone again, as for the mysterious Shenzhen-Hong Kong Taipan, as the key player of today's luncheon, the communication between the two during the morning tea was extremely smooth, and the meeting was personally accompanied by the president of the "New Sun and Moon" electronic newspaper, and the two came together.
And the president of the "New Sun and Moon" electronic newspaper, Li Zhiyue was already familiar with it. He was the director of the editorial office of a military journal in Beijing, but he was demoted by the unit for some reason, so he simply resigned from his public post in anger and came to Hong Kong and Kowloon to develop another career.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders at this time, Li Zhiyue explained to his "underground gang", together with Tan Qidart, why he had to take great pains, first having morning tea with the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Taipan, and then arranging this grand luncheon.
In fact, before going there, "New Sun and Moon" was still an inconspicuous newspaper in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and because of poor funding scheduling, the original editor-in-chief resigned, and it was about to cease publication.
But just over a month ago, "New Sun and Moon" suddenly came back to life, instantly completing the full integration of digital platforms and print media, including marketing strategies.
In addition to broadcasting news and comprehensive information, the revised "New Sun and Moon" e-newspaper has also opened up channels for science and technology, education, military, finance and economics, and entertainment, and has carried out extensive and in-depth interaction with the audience and readers, which has quickly given people a refreshing feeling, and its future influence in Hong Kong and Kowloon media cannot be underestimated.
Contrary to this, although Li Zhiyue's "Ruffian Every Newspaper" is superficial, it mostly relies on lace scandals and gossip information to attract readers, which has led to continuous lawsuits in the past two years and damaged its reputation. According to the results of an internal survey conducted by the public, the annual readership rate of the newspaper has dropped by more than 10 percent.
Therefore, in order to maintain his status as a media tycoon in Hong Kong and Kowloon and expand more economic interests, and at the same time to occupy the "New Sun and Moon" electronic newspaper office, which is a public opinion position that is flourishing, and to prevent it from getting too close to the mainland and the Hong Kong government in terms of propaganda, Lai Zhiyue intends to use a generous offer to acquire part of the shares of "New Sun and Moon". Make it another production machine for radical ideas.
Just when the group praised Li Zhiyue unanimously and flattered his majesty, the waiter pushed open the door and welcomed the two guests in.
The man who came in first walked with a noticeable limp on his left leg, and his pale and thin face, which was connected from his forehead to the corners of his mouth, was deeply scarred with several deep scars.
Hua Nianping!
Tan Qidart recognized it at a glance.
"He's still alive?"
Tan Qidart's eyes turned white in fright, and he almost screamed.
Li Zhiyue took Hua Nianping to the guest of honor and sat down, and said to everyone: "This is the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Taipan I just told you about, Mr. Hua Nianping, general manager of Shenzhen Walt Company!" ”
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting!"
Hua Nianping did not sit down immediately, first apologized, and then introduced the president of the "New Sun and Moon" electronic newspaper next to him.
Next, Li Zhiyue recommended Tan Qidart and his "Underground Gang" to Hua Nianping and President Gu one by one.
When Tan Qidart was introduced, Li Zhiyue specially introduced that he was the shareholder representative of a company in Shanghai sent by Mr. Lu Zhichao, the owner of a well-known CM.DN company in the United States. CM.DN and Mr. Lu Zhichao can be regarded as one of the financiers of many of their own media.
Hua Nianping did not show any special reaction to the names Lu Zhichao and Tan Qidang, but nodded politely and friendly.
Tan Qidart was thinking weakly, judging from Hua Nianping's expression and attitude towards him, he probably couldn't recognize himself temporarily.
"But if it takes a while, when everyone is familiar, then it's hard to say."
What made Tan Qidart extremely puzzled was:
Since Hua Nianping survived, why didn't he go back to Huai to continue to be the chairman of his Enyuan Group, but went to Walter Company to sit in the position of general manager, and happened to become a working partner with Li Lihui.
