"Brother Tai." He Dingxian said sincerely: "If I don't solve this matter, you won't do business with me anymore." ”

"Leave it to me."

"I'll settle the hell."

Huo Guantai moved his mouth, sighed, and no longer explained: "Thank you, then I will make it clear to Taikoo that the land reclaimed from the sea will never be sold!" ”

"Hmm."

He Dingxian opened the lid of the tea bowl, took it and took a sip: "It was my responsibility to solve the trouble. ”

At the beginning, if he hadn't had a gun and someone, he could solve the problem of the ghost guy, and Huo Guantai would not have cooperated with him.

You must know that he holds more than 30% of the shares of Lixin Real Estate, and when Huo Guantai asked him for financing, in addition to asking for money, he also hoped that he would serve as a certain political endorsement.

To damage the interests of Lixin Real Estate is to damage his interests.

If this matter is not cleanly resolved, Huo Guantai may be forced to be helpless, increase shares and let HSBC take shares, which will invisibly reduce He Dingxian's income, the key is the next real estate company, it will be difficult to occupy another big share.

However, the real estate development company that is about to be established is the most profitable part of the real estate industry.

Swire & Co. is a standard British-owned company, founded in Liverpool and registered in London, with a history of 100 years, and has been trading with China since the end of the Qing Dynasty. In 1866, he set up a branch in Shanghai, specializing in the textile industry, and then aimed at the steamship market of the Yangtze River shipping, founded the Shanghai Shipyard, and the business entered its peak, with branches on Japan Island, Taiwan Island, Hong Kong Island, and offices in New York, Manchester and other places.

However, the Great Ocean Line, which developed with the British national fortunes, was destined to weaken with the British national fortunes.

Swire & Co. suffered heavy losses during World War II, with British factories and machinery being smashed, mainland factories being confiscated, and finally, thanks to the particularity of Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong Island branch became the most powerful place.

Swire & Co. set its sights on Hong Kong Island and set up Swire Shipyard with its mechanics.

At present, Swire Shipyard is one of the three major shipyards on Hong Kong Island, commonly known as "Swire Dockyard", and alongside it is "Navy Dockyard" and "Whampoa Dock".

However, there is still a long way to go from foreign banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered, and Hongkong Land, and the current development focus is on the aviation industry, aiming at the air freight market after World War II, hoping to take a share of the pie with the help of technology accumulation.

Historically, Swire & Co. has undoubtedly done just that, with huge aviation maintenance facilities on Hong Kong Island and Xiamen, as well as a 45% stake in Cathay Pacific.

But just as Swire's most profitable business before World War II was not shipbuilding, after World War II, Swire's most profitable business was not aviation, but through the acquisition of Coca-Cola's cooperative company, a company that made glass bottles for Coca-Cola, and obtained the right to cooperate with Coca-Cola, providing Coca-Cola with bottles from dozens of regions around the world, such as the mainland, Hong Kong Island, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

It's a lucrative business, just like Swire Sugar, the world's largest sugar mill in the past, and now Swire is eyeing real estate.

At night.

Ho Ting-yin was in his study at home, carefully reading a business report full of information about Swire & Co.

"A few years ago, Swire had just invested in Cathay Pacific and participated in the construction of Kai Tak Airport, hoping to develop the aviation industry." On his right hand side is a piece of fruit, including star fruit, watermelon, and honeydew melon.

"This time, I think the real estate industry is profitable, and I want to come in and break through?"

He Dingxian sneered: "I don't know who came up with the idea, I think that Lixin Real Estate is easy to bully, and I want to develop it directly by acquiring land." ”

Swire will of course give a little hard money, but it is too far from the expected return.

This company's ambitions are really big, and it wants to be amphibious by land, sea and air, but according to his understanding, Swire has succeeded! Because before he saw the information, he didn't know that Swire & Co. had shipyards and airlines, but he only knew that Swire & Co. had been involved in real estate.

In the past, Taikoo Li Mall was quite famous in China, and the central areas of several core cities had Swire territory, but now it seems that Swire is joining forces with HSBC to squeeze him out of the real estate industry.

This move is not completely targeted at Huo Guantai, it is a set of operations with cutting and fighting, who is cutting?

TMD！

It's cutting him!

He Dingxian actually hates the itchy teeth in his heart, and the ghost guy has a characteristic, that is, he likes to disgust you.

Chinese people will take care of their face when they do things, and people have to talk about the passage of time when they go to tea and cool, and He Sir is still in the police force. The ghost guy won't, when he sees that you have no power, he will come out to grab food, for fear that he won't be able to get food if he slows down.

He Dingxian also thought that the business under his hands was getting bigger and bigger, and the position of the anti-corruption room might not be covered, and the anti-corruption was against the police force, and his hands could not reach into the business world, and the few guns under his hands did not look hard enough.

"The guys from the criminal group and the military uniform group come out to make trouble, and they can show their strength again, but the person is not in the position, and the influence is used once, and it can only be used as a hole card." Only when people are in position, brothers will be like what their arms point to, people are not in position, they use human favors, and they can't make up for it when they run out.

If He Dingxian uses the strength of the Chinese police to do things, he will actually lose a move, and there will be resistance to returning to power in the future.

The simplest truth, the brothers' fees are no longer paid by him, why should they work for him again? For the sake of righteous anger? It is said that it is okay, but once the brothers go out on the street and there are large-scale casualties, or they are reprimanded and punished by the high-level, who will take care of it?

He is in power, he can help his brothers carry it back, is Gao Yongsheng willing to carry it for him?

Brother Sheng, as a qualified politician, may even take advantage of this opportunity...... Therefore, Ho Ting-yin can only hope that the Anti-Corruption Investigation Bill will be passed and the scope of the Anti-Corruption Unit will be expanded, and the reason why he wants to increase the power of the Anti-Corruption Office.

To a large extent, it is hoped that it will retain its influence in the business world and increase its resistance to the attack of foreign companies.

"I hope Brother Tai can hold on."

He Dingxian put down the information of Swire & Co. and sighed in his heart.

It takes time for the bill to pass.

At present, the Hong Kong Governor's Office has not yet approved it, and the business community does not yet know that once the Hong Kong Governor's Office approves it, the foreign banks will definitely speed up their pace and press Lixin.

After all, Britain as the victor of World War I, once the sun never set on the empire, foreign banks are an important means of harvesting colonies, each foreign bank has a history of more than 100 years, in which the ups and downs, mergers and acquisitions development, business ideas, witness the change of world business history.

Half a month later.

HSBC, VIP Lounge.

Huo Guantai was wearing a black suit and a blue tie, pushed open the door and bowed gently: "Pray." ”

HSBC Taipan Qi Yaolin stood up on the sofa seat and stepped forward to shake hands with a smile on his face: "Huo Sheng, good morning." ”

"Early." After Huo Guantai shook hands with Qi Yaolin and said goodbye, his eyes glanced at the other ghost guy sitting next to him, Taikoo Yang Xing Taipan Xuansha. Xuan Sha stood up as his eyes swept over, smiling and nodding in agreement, looking respectful.

Qi Yaolin stood in the middle and introduced him: "Huo Sheng, this is Xuan Sha, the president of Swire & Co., and is in charge of all the business on Hong Kong Island. ”

"Xuan Sir." Huo Guantai stepped forward to shake hands, his expression was much more flat, and Xuan Sha was a middle-aged man in his forties, in the prime of life, different from the gray-haired ghost guy beside him, after shaking hands, he said: "Huo Sheng, I have admired the name for a long time, please take care of me." ”

"Don't dare to be." Fok Kwun-tai spoke Cantonese.

Qi Yaolin said: "Sit." ”

The three of them sat down on the sofa, and the female secretary pushed open the box door and handed over a cup of coffee.

“Thank you。” Huo Guantai nodded casually, picked up the coffee cup, tasted it and put it down, and asked out loud, "Sir, is there anything wrong?" ”

"That's right." Qi Yaolin clasped his hands together, crossed his fingers, crossed his legs, and sat on the chair with a graceful demeanor: "HSBC has invested in Swire Properties, and at the same time is a shareholder of Fong's Real Estate, hoping to promote the cooperation between Swire and Swire. ”

"Can we sell the reclaimed land of Fong's Land to Swire Properties, and in the future, Fong's Land will be responsible for the construction and Swire Properties will be responsible for the development."

Qi Yaolin is best at exchanging resources in business and winning the greatest benefits, and his face is not red and his heart is not beating when he speaks.

Huo Guantai sat between the two, as a guest, but he was in a dilemma.

"Of course, Swire Properties will never buy at a low price, and in the real estate industry, Mr. Huo can still do it, but the division of labor is different." After Qi Yaolin finished speaking, he glanced at Xuan Sha, who saw that Mr. Huo did not answer, and continued: "Mr. Huo can also take a stake in Swire Properties and do real estate business together, and then Mr. Huo's personal company will undertake the reclamation project and build land for Swire Properties, and Swire Properties will make money for Mr. Huo." ”

"Everybody is still in the same boat."

Seeing this, Qi Yaolin attacked again: "Huo Sheng, if Fong's Real Estate can reach a cooperation with Swire Properties, HSBC can continue to invest in the real estate company under your name in the future." ”

"If you don't agree."

Qi Yaolin shrugged his shoulders and completely leaned his back against the sofa, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen." After a long silence, Huo Guantai stood up directly and decisively refused: "Lixin Real Estate is not my sole proprietorship, and what decisions you want to make need to be discussed with shareholders." ”

Qi Yaolin immediately got up, and the eyes that looked at Huo Guantai were no longer right.

"Mr. Huo!"

"You are the largest shareholder of the company, HSBC is the third largest shareholder of the company, and there are only three shareholders in the company. Qi Yaolin's tone was threatening: "Without the help of HSBC, you are an orphan who fishes for sea people's grass, what do you do to achieve today's achievements!" ”

Huo Guantai looked at the anger in the eyes of the HSBC senior, and then looked at a Taikoo senior who was watching the play next to him, and his heart was suddenly shaken, but soon he took a deep breath and said, "Didn't I make money for HSBC!" ”

"What do you mean by saying this to me?"

He Huo Guantai is indeed an orphan boy who lost his father at the age of seven, but the last thing the orphan is afraid of is to fight for his life, and no one can threaten him!

"You're threatening me?" Huo Guantai stepped forward, lifted Qi Yaolin's collar, and glared at him.
