528 Drinking tea
Following.
Morning.
Shengxing Tea Room.
Huang Shitong sat in the box on the third floor of the tea room and invited the contemporary rich tycoons of Hong Kong to have morning tea together.
Luxury cars drove from the luxury residential area of Central to Wing On Street, and bodyguards in suits and leather shoes guarded the gate and the back street. A waiter and chef in overalls are busy preparing refreshments.
Li Chaoren, Mr. Kwok, Mr. Fok and other 14 people, the top 15 richest people in Hong Kong, almost all arrived at Wing On Street at about 8 o'clock. And escorted by bodyguards into the tea room, to the dining table on the third floor.
The other rich people arrived earlier, and Li Chaoren and Mr. Guo went upstairs together.
"Li Sheng, Guo Sheng, sit down and drink tea here." Huang Shitong got up early in the morning, wearing a white Tang suit, and was just talking to Mr. Huo with his head sideways. Seeing that Li Chaoren and Mr. Guo, who were the heaviest, were present, they quickly got up and pulled out the chairs next to them and motioned for the two big bosses to sit down.
"Ah Tong."
"Huang Sheng." Li Chaoren has a close relationship with Huang Shitong, and the title is more cordial. Mr. Guo and Huang Shitong just nodded their heads, and the salutation became more formal.
When both of them sat down, the richest people in Hong Kong were also present. In terms of strength, Li Chaoren is the first, Mr. Guo is the second, and Huang Shitong is the third.
If he hadn't sat in the third chair, he wouldn't have been qualified to invite the top 15 richest people in Hong Kong to sit at a table as the master.
As for the richest people on Hong Kong Island after the fifteen, the total wealth is too different from the top fifteen. Moreover, they are all "Hong Kong Island" rich people, and their foreign exchange reserves are very small, so there is no need to invite them at all.
Now that everyone is here, it's time to start drinking tea. Huang Shitong solicited everyone's opinions, and after unanimously deciding to make Pu'er tea, he beckoned to the waiter at the door: "Serve tea." ”
The waiters carried teacups and helped the big bosses present pour tea one by one. Those big bosses leaned back on the chairs with the old gods, tapped the table with their fingers, watched the fragrance of tea rise, and took a long breath: "Hmm...... This tea is good. ”
The focus of morning tea is on "tea", and the reason why this tea room can win the favor of big bosses is because they are very particular about the tea they brew. It was specially asked by the master to go to the mainland to retrieve it, and it was also stored in the tea cellar to ensure that the fragrance of the tea leaves did not disperse.
In the tea room, fifteen big bosses wore all kinds of clothes. There are those who wear Tang costumes, sportswear, suits, and tunics. Because they have long passed, they have to wrap their own level with their appearance, how to come casually, as long as everyone is happy.
And because of the slightly larger number of people, Huang Shiyong did not arrange for everyone to sit at a large round table, but divided into three small round tables, which were placed next to the wood-carved fence of the teahouse in the shape of a zigzag. Looking down, you can just see the people passing by, breathing in the fresh morning air.
Soon, hot refreshments were on the table, and they were drinking tea at home while chatting and exchanging information about the latest markets. This information is often tens of millions of handiwork, as long as you follow the trend to make a profit, you can make a lot of money.
The owner of the tearoom stood beside him, pricked up his ears, and listened intently. In the past, when these big bosses drank tea, he didn't make less money. But at that time, there were one or two big bosses, and now more than a dozen big bosses get together. If you can hear some big news, you might be able to make a big deal.
Even the owner of the tearoom noticed that there was big news, and of course the big boss present also knew in his heart, knowing that Huang Shitong asked them to meet here today, and there must be some big business to discuss.
Sure enough, after Huang Shitong went to the big bosses to eat something, he put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand and spoke to everyone with a smile: "Li Sheng, Guo Sheng, I don't know the financial world, have you heard any big moves recently?" ”
Li Chaoren and Mr. Guo glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Ah Tong, are you talking about Wall Street's actions?" ”
Although they are engaged in industry, whenever an industry reaches the top, it is inevitable to deal with finance.
They've certainly heard about Wall Street.
It's just that Huang Shitong is a bookmaker in the financial industry on Hong Kong Island, and he has to take the lead in what to do with specific things.
"Well, we're speculating that Wall Street wants to go to war in Asia." Huang Shitong took a sip of tea, and his fluttering words made the fourteen big bosses present look shocked.
"You mean financial war? A financial war against Asia? Mr. Huo's face changed, put down the custard bun in his hand, and looked directly at Huang Shitong.
To be able to become the top 15 richest people on Hong Kong Island, they are all top bosses in a certain industry on Hong Kong Island.
Not only proficient in their own industry, but also very broad-minded.
As soon as I hear the word financial war, and then think of the recent actions of Wall Street, I instantly recall it......
Hit the streets! Are the Wall Street guys using Asia as a pigsty? The wealth that you have worked so hard to accumulate is looted for you like this?
"Huang Sheng, what do you say to do?"
"Huang Sheng, your landlord should carry this matter!"
"I support the landlords and fight Wall Street to the end!" The bosses at the three tables spoke in unison, word by word, all of them were murderous.
Now that he has said it, Huang Shitong has no need to hide it anymore, and after bowing his head slightly, he directly said in a solemn voice: "Our landlord will be the dealer of Hong Kong Island Finance, and we will definitely carry this matter." ”
"I called everyone here today to hope that everyone will support me, and I want dollars! I want money! ”
"Li Sheng, you are the leader of our Hong Kong businessmen, I hope you will make a statement."
When mentioning money, Huang Shitong accentuated his tone, and the bosses present turned their eyes to Li Chaoren. Li Chaoren knows that he occupies the position of a big man, so he should take the responsibility of a big man. At this time, he raised the teacup in his hand, got up and looked around at everyone and said, "I take the lead, 100 million US dollars in foreign exchange per person, and those who are willing to pay for tea together." ”
"Unwilling to pay? Go out and turn left, flash edge! Li Chaoren pointed sharply at the door, and his categorical attitude was really shocking.
Because this matter is related to the righteousness of the family and the country.
Even if Li Chaoren and Huang Shitong don't know each other, as long as the other party looks for him, he will definitely support him.
Now he not only has a good personal relationship with Huang Shitong, but also Huang Shitong helped him a lot when his son was kidnapped. Now that there is a chance, Li Chaoren will definitely help Huang Shitong come out to support the scene.
The sentence just now is more than just a statement. Instead, he made it clear and told them that if he didn't pay this money, he wouldn't give him Li Chaoren's face, and he was not worthy of being a Hong Kong businessman!
Although the big bosses here are all in their fifties and sixties, their temples are gray, and their legs and feet are a little inconvenient.
But after listening to Li Chaoren's words, they quickly got up from their chairs, raised their teacups, and moved their eyes to Huang Shitong at the main table.
Regarding Li Chaoren's ruthless attitude just now, this group of big bosses did not feel embarrassed, but took it for granted.
Because this group of big bosses have all experienced that war-torn era, they know deeply that this financial war is no less than an invasion.
When encountering something engraved in the bones such as "the righteousness of the family and the country", you have to show a little courage, how can you get mixed up without a little courage? The existence of the wall-riding faction is not allowed in war, even in financial war!
So now, these big bosses are all holding their teacups and saying loudly: "Drink tea!" Let's drink tea together! ”
"Good! Drink tea! Li Chaoren saw that no one refused to pay, and there was a smile on his face. It seems that to this day, the backbone of Hong Kong businessmen is still there.
Huang Shitong stood up and drank a cup of tea, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you brothers for your support!" This time, our landlords will rather die than delist! ”
"What a good one would rather die than delist!" Mr. Guo, Mr. Huo and others applauded one after another, sat on the chair and continued to eat refreshments.
You must know that $100 million per person is not a large proportion of their wealth assets.
But many of those assets are real estate, as well as corporate properties......
Being able to come up with $100 million in cash and foreign exchange alone is already a lot of money for them!
Some big bosses who are ranked lower and have poor turnover even need to dispose of some assets. If Huang Shitong took the money and ran away within a few days, they would definitely be so angry that they vomited blood, and the whole world offered Huang Shitong's dog life.
Now as soon as Huang Shitong shouted "I'd rather die than delist", it was tantamount to giving them a guarantee and making everyone feel relieved.
Soon, after eating morning tea for more than half an hour, the big bosses began to leave the venue one by one. Huang Shitong personally sent everyone out, and when Li Chaoren also left the tea room, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
For an old man of his age, one negotiation is enough to consume most of his energy, not to mention, there is a speech waiting for him in the afternoon.
Alas, this is probably the last financial war in Huang Shitong's life......
"After this battle, you must take care of yourself, otherwise you will lose a lot of life." Huang Shitong shook his head, waved his hand to let the assistant pay, and then walked out of the teahouse.
The owner of the Shengxing teahouse, watching the group of bigwigs leave, recalled the picture in the tearoom just now, took out his mobile phone and said secretly: "Sell stocks, the stocks in your hands must be sold." I was reluctant to lose 100,000 yuan before, but now if I don't play again, I'm afraid I'll lose 100,000 yuan. ”
He had always made money by listening to the news before, but he didn't expect that this time he relied on the news of the big bosses to save his life once.
However, the person who is the boss is shrewd, remembering Huang Shitong's sentence just now, "I'd rather die than delist", pondered and pondered, and then bought a little Yihui Group stock.
As one of the few remaining strong stocks on Hong Kong Island, the owner of the tea room bought a little bit, and he actually felt a little unhappy: "Damn, buy all three million!" I'll support you, Uncle Tong! ”
"Don't let me down, don't let the tea room go untenable." The loss of 3 million Hong Kong dollars is just a year's income for the tea room owner. If the financial war really fails, and everyone loses their jobs, how can the tea room still be in business? Who has money for morning tea?
