Chapter 680 0678 [Unite Aspect! ] (5000 Word Chapter)

Li Zhaotian reached out to pick up the wet towel and wiped it, staring at Li Jiacheng and asked, "How is it, Boss Li, your answer is—"

Li Jiacheng picked up a peanut again and threw it into his mouth: "Money is a trivial matter, but what I am curious about is why the shares of Wharf, the three major families, are sold to you?"

Li Zhaotian took a sip from his wine glass, and said with fierce eyes, "Because if they don't sell it to me, it will become a pile of waste paper!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I took in a dog, and that dog happened to be the boss of the Wharf Wharf, and all his subordinates depended on Wharf for their livelihood! If I ordered those people to strike, how long do you think Wharf can last?"

Li Jiacheng couldn't laugh anymore, he got up suddenly and said, "I want to go to the bathroom!"

Li Zhaotian smiled, stood up and pointed at the female star Bai Xiaoman, and said, "What are you still doing sitting there? Didn't you hear that, Boss Li is going to the bathroom, you support him!"

Li Jiacheng quickly waved his hands and said, "No need, I'm not drunk!"

Bai Xiaoman hesitated and refused to stand up. After all, she is also a star, a person of status and status, and she is not willing to do such low-level things as serving guests to pee in the bathroom!

Li Zhaotian saw Bai Xiaoman sitting still, he smiled, walked over and grabbed Bai Xiaoman's hair!

Snapped!

Just slap her!

Bai Xiaoman was stunned by the beating, her cheeks were blood red, and her eyes stared in horror at Li Zhaotian who suddenly went berserk.

Snapped!

Li Zhaotian slapped his backhand again!

The corner of Bai Xiaoman's mouth was directly bleeding!

Li Zhaotian stared at her and raised his hand again.

Bai Xiaoman squatted on the ground in horror.

Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng looked dumbfounded.

Shen Bi is a high-ranking "gentleman" in the British Empire, and he has never beaten a woman!

Li Jiacheng considers himself an "honest person" and a "civilized person" who has inherited the fine traditions of China, and he never beats women!

Li Zhaotian's madness has surpassed the cognition of the two of them, especially Li Jiacheng's. For some reason, Li Zhaotian's mouth hit the woman's face, but Li Jiacheng felt his cheeks burning hot!

After beating Bai Xiaoman, Li Zhaotian wiped his hands again with a wet towel, and said to Li Jiacheng with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! This girl thinks she is a shit star, she puts on airs, and doesn't know the situation clearly , I thought I was great! Fuck you, am I, Li Zhaotian, the kind of casual person?"

Li Jiacheng's face twitched a few times.

Li Zhaotian threw away the wet towel in his hand, and looked at Li Jiacheng with a smile again: "Boss Li, do you still want to go to the bathroom?"

Li Jiacheng shuddered, sat down again and said, "Hey, it's amazing! I suddenly feel that I don't need it anymore!"

"Really? Then sit down and talk about things!"

"What are you talking about, Li Sheng needs me, of course I am obliged! Li Sheng also took care of me in the same way before, and I, Li, will of course repay it!" Li Jiacheng stood up with fists in his hands and vowed.

"Okay! Boss Li is indeed a man of temperament! I like it! Come on, let's toast together, let's go!" Li Zhaotian held up the wine glass and said with pride.

...

As a prominent figure in Hong Kong, the obituary of Mrs. Xu's death has been released, and many famous families have started to take action to express their condolences to Mrs. Xu and send him off for the last time.

Among them is the charter king's family who have a very good relationship with the Xu family.

Chartered Ship King was born in a small merchant family, rich in knowledge, once worked as a comprador, and managed many businesses.

At the beginning of 1949, the 31-year-old chartered boat king and his father took hundreds of thousands of savings to Hong Kong to explore the world.

At the beginning, he did some small businesses and accumulated some money, but what to do next? The charter king remembered his childhood yearning for the sea, so he came up with the idea of ​​shipping by sea.

His mother advised him, "Sporting a boat and racing a horse is three-point risky." To engage in shipping is tantamount to taking all assets as a bet. If you are not careful, you will go bankrupt.

My father believes that the shipping industry in Hong Kong is already very developed and the competition is fierce, but Charter King is a complete layman in shipping, so why should he operate shipping? But Charter King has made up his mind and is determined to seek development in the marine transportation industry.

While continuing to do a good job of persuading his father and other family members, he went around to learn about ships and shipping, and carefully studied books about shipping and ships.

The Chartered Ship King was finally able to realize his dream at sea! Although the journey was very difficult, he was already 37 years old at the time.

At the beginning, the funds were insufficient. With the help of friends, we raised more than 700,000 US dollars. The charter king made a special trip to the UK to buy back an old coal-fired cargo ship. This ship has been in use for 28 years. The displacement is only 8200 tons. Although the ship was very dilapidated, Charter King, as if he had acquired a rare treasure, asked someone to renovate and repaint it, and named it "Jin'an". This ship was the beginning of his career.

Now he has been engaged in the shipping industry for almost 15 years. From one ship to hundreds of ships, he has become one of the "Four Hong Kong Ship Kings" as famous as Zhao, Dong and Cao!

However, in the eyes of the charter king, Mr. Xu, the old ship king, is his idol, because Mr. Xu has helped him many times, and even the first voyage of the charter king was escorted by Mrs. Xu. He vaguely remembered that Mrs. Xu said to those ship tycoons who looked down on him: "Give many young people a chance!"

Thinking of this, the charter king sighed, and turned his gaze back to the exit of the airport.

Although the Chartered Ship King is the richest man in the world, he has only daughters and no sons, so he always treats his son-in-law as his own son.

His eldest daughter's husband is an Austrian named "Sudiwen". The sea route of the Suez Canal.

...

"Master, in fact, you don't have to come pick up Mr. Su yourself this time!" Said Alu, the driver who was waiting for the charter king. "Just let me come and pick up Mr. Su!"

"You don't understand, this time he went to Egypt and made great contributions, so it's grand for me to pick him up in person!"

"Yes, master!" Ah Lu felt that the master was too kind to this foreign son-in-law.

At this moment, Su Diwen, who was tall and well-fitted in a suit, came out from the airport.

When he walked out of the airport, he adjusted his watch according to the Hong Kong time provided by the airport. It took about sixteen or seventeen hours to fly from Egypt to Hong Kong. He never took a break on the plane and used all the time to read the report.

For Su Diwen, his identity as an Austrian actually limited his status in the Bao family.

Chinese people are very traditional. For Su Diwen, this kind of marriage is actually similar to their so-called "marriage". After becoming a married woman, Su Diwen apparently took charge of Bao's shipping industry, but in fact, the real helm behind him was the charter ship king.

So he has to do better and work harder, only in this way can he be recognized.

At this moment, the passengers who got off the plane with him walked out of the airport like a stream.

Outside the airport, under the illumination of bright street lamps and neon lights of various colors, people waiting to be picked up raised their feet or raised their hands to improvise and make a pick-up sign with the person being picked up.

"Master, Mr. Su is here!" The driver Alu pointed to Su Diwen who was carrying a briefcase.

Su Diwen was tall and a foreigner, with deep eyes and a nose augmentation, and his silver hair looked very eye-catching.

The Chartered Ship King smiled, "Why don't you quickly hold up the sign?"

"Fine!" Ah Lu stood on tiptoe and raised the card with all his might.

Su Diwen glanced at it, and saw it, hurriedly walked over, and came to the charter king, overjoyed and said: "Father, why are you here?"

Since Su Diwen joined Bao's family, he has learned all kinds of rules and etiquette very well.

"You've worked hard!" The Chartered Ship King smiled gratifiedly.

To be honest, although the Chartered Ship King came from an extraordinary background, he was not the old-fashioned kind of person, but the traditional concept in the bones of the Chinese people is still hard to get rid of, so at the beginning, he had a grudge against Su Diwen, a foreign son-in-law. People who are not of my race must have different hearts, but his daughter likes others, so he can't say much as a father.

However, Su Diwen's efforts for the Bao family during this period were also for his own eyes, and he saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart. At this moment, the sentence "You have worked hard" contains a lot of emotions.

Sure enough, a trace of joy appeared on Su Diwen's tired face, which was the joy of being recognized by the helm of the family.

"Father, you are being polite. No matter how hard you work for the company, you should do it!"

The charter king nodded and motioned to Ah Lu to help Su Diwen carry the luggage and briefcase, and he turned around and walked side by side with Su Diwen towards the place where the car was parked.

On the way, the charter king said to Su Diwen slowly with his hands behind his back: "Actually, besides seeing you, I came to pick you up this time, and I have another important thing for you to do!"

"What's the matter? Please order!" Su Diwen has always made it very clear that the company and family affairs should be separated. He has always regarded himself as a subordinate for company affairs, and often uses the word "please order", while for family affairs he often uses "Please say" words.

The charter king had to admit that he admired Su Diwen very much.

Gui Lao has always been conceited, and he pays attention to democracy and freedom. It is difficult for him to adapt to Chinese culture. There is only one person like Su Diwen who is willing to lower his figure.

"Your Uncle Xu has passed away, I want you to mourn on my behalf!"

"Huh?" Su Diwen froze for a moment, and immediately thought about the twists and turns in his mind.

"Father, it's not appropriate for me to go, is it?"

"Why is it inappropriate? You are my son-in-law, Bao Yugang! In the future, you will be the heir of our Bao's enterprise, who is not convinced?"

When Su Diwen heard this, his heart became hot, and he also understood the reason why the charter king asked him to do this. To put it bluntly, it was to explain to everyone his position in Bao's family and in Bao's enterprise!

And this is what Su Diwen has been looking forward to for a long time!

"Thank you, Father!" Su Diwen couldn't hide his joy.

The Chartered Ship King glanced at him and smiled: "In addition, this condolence is very important, you have to replace our Bao family to make a friend!"

"Uh, make friends?" Su Diwen was slightly taken aback. In his impression, those who can be valued by the charter king and take the initiative to make friends are either dignitaries or young talents.

"You have to pay more attention. This matter is very important. It is related to the shipping business of our Bao's enterprise, and to be precise, it is related to the future of Wharf!" The chartering king showed a trace of worry on his face.

Su Diwen rarely saw such an expression on the charter king's face, and his spirit was shocked.

The Bao family, the Huo family, and the Xu family control 30% of the equity in Wharf that is circulating in the market. Although Jardine Matheson does not want Chinese capital to take power, the Bao family and others have been eyeing Wharf all the time. Could it be that this time What happened to Wharf?

Seemingly aware of Su Diwen's expression, the charter king came to the door of the car at this time, and Ah Lu helped to open the door.

The charter king didn't get into the car immediately, but reached out and took out the newspaper he had read for a long time on the car, and handed it to Su Diwen himself: "As for the specifics, you can find out after reading it!"

Su Diwen was full of doubts. He took the newspaper and read it for a few times, and his expression changed instantly.

Looking at the report on the newspaper in hand——

"How could this happen!" Su Diwen couldn't hide his surprise.

Seeing Su Diwen was astonished, the charter king seemed very calm, "Someone is behind the scenes and wants to take down Wharf, so they called the wind and rain to make such a big show!"

Su Diwen turned his attention to the newspaper again, and saw the headline on the front page read: "It's not easy to find food, riot at the dock!"

The subtitle is: Wages haven't risen for three years, blood and sweat fill Wharf! Jardine Matheson only cares about its own brains and fat stomachs, and ignores the heartache and tears of Hua Gong! Thousands of people rioted and marched, writing a new chapter in Xiangjiang!

Then there is a large photo. In the photo, thousands of Chinese workers in Wharf hold high the banners of "demand a raise" and "we must survive" and parade on the street.

Hong Kong at this time is different from the past. It has experienced various struggles in the 1950s, especially after the Kowloon riots in the last two or three years. The British government will immediately dispatch the police force to intervene to snuff out any flames that endanger the stability of the situation in the bud.

Therefore, in recent years, it is rare to see such large-scale news about demonstrations in newspapers and periodicals. What is even more strange is that the British Hong Kong government did not take the initiative to stop it. There is a big boss behind the scenes, and the energy of this big boss is enough to influence the British Hong Kong government's decision on this matter!

Thinking of this, Su Diwen finally understood why there was such a trace of worry on the charter king's face.

Now the Wharf riots and workers' strike will definitely affect the stock price of Wharf. According to the newspaper, the share price of Wharf has fallen by 30%, and it is still in the "early stage" of the decline! Just kidding, the stock price will hit the floor if it falls any further!

Bao and the others hold 30% of the shares in Wharf, which is a huge investment, who would be willing to turn it into a blank sheet of paper?

And to create such a chaotic situation, there are only a few big families who can influence the Hong Kong British government in Hong Kong. Except for a few ghost families, then only the famous Lee family is left!

For the Li family, they have always been engaged in livelihood projects and real estate purchases. This time, it can be said that Sima Zhao's aspiration to win the Wharf is the heart of Sima Zhao. Everyone knows that they definitely want to kick the three major families out of the game and replace them, and win the Wharf. At the same time, to open up channels for their family's land business.

You must know that since Wharf moved to the east, the land near Wharf has become a sweet pastry. If it is close to the port, it will not be possible if it is not prosperous. .

How to say that sentence, the emperor takes turns to do it, and come to my house next year!

For the Li family, now that the Wharf has been relocated, a new chapter will be opened, and the owner of the money should also be replaced!

Thinking of this, Su Diwen took a deep breath, looked at the charter king and said, "Could it be that the person behind is... Li Zhaotian?"

The Chartered Ship King nodded slightly with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Su Diwen couldn't help sighing.

By doing this, Li Zhaotian made it clear that he wanted Bao, Xu and Huo to hand over their shares in Wharf, otherwise they would turn Wharf stocks into a pile of waste paper.

Chartered Ship King said: "So this time we have to find someone to deal with him!"

"Who can go against him?" Su Diwen asked in surprise.

The charter king smiled and spit out three words: "Shi Zhijian!"

It is also helpless for the charter king to make such a decision.

First, Li Zhaotian is the chairman of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association. If he is evil, he will inevitably be put on small shoes.

Shi Zhijian was different. Shi Zhijian had always dismissed the Chinese Chamber of Commerce from the beginning to the end, and even joined the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce.

Second, the Lee family can be regarded as a super family in Hong Kong in this era, because they are backed by the Hong Kong British government and used to be domineering, not to mention the Bao family, the Xu family and the Huo family all have business dealings with them.

Shi Zhijian was different, he had always had a good fight with Li Zhaotian.

The third and most important point is that this time Ricci is backed by the super giant HSBC Bank. Not to mention that the three major families "owe" HSBC a lot of money, even Jardine Matheson, the parent behind Wharf, is not immune. A full 20% of Wharf's equity is mortgaged in HSBC.

This time HSBC is willing to support Lizhaotian, and it is clear that it is cutting the tail of Jardine Matheson. In addition, Jardine Matheson has suffered serious losses in recent years.

But Shi Zhijian is different. Shi Zhijian has rarely dealt with such a big bank since he started his business. He just deposits and withdraws some money at Standard Chartered HSBC. Even if the financing loan was obtained from Far East Bank, a Chinese-funded bank under Qiu Degen, what's more, the loan has been paid off a long time ago, and it is said that there are more than 30 million in hand! There are enough chips!

In addition to the above three points, there are other reasons why Bao, Xu and Huo are unwilling to intervene in this matter.

Pao and Huo publicly supported the mainland to transport materials to the mainland during the war in the 1950s and the early 1960s, thus hating the British Hong Kong government. They have always been sanctioned by the British Hong Kong government. The "sanction order" has not yet been lifted. Even if Bao wanted to go ashore, he couldn't do it.

However, the Xu family had a sudden change, and the dead are the most important. In other words, the Xu family is in a mess now, and a new patriarch has not yet been elected to take charge of the overall situation. If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside, so how can you have the time to deal with Li Zhaotian?

With such a calculation, it seems that there is no one other than Shi Zhijian who has money and leisure at this time and is bold and dares to fight against Li Zhaotian!

But the question is, can Shi Zhijian win Li Zhaotian? !

a super tycoon,

a fledgling,

They are clearly not at the same level!
