Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

In the northern suburbs of Hong Kong Island, in front of a company near the pier.

Early in the morning, a large number of people and vehicles gathered here.

If you take a closer look, you will find that these people are unusual. They are all local media reporters on Hong Kong Island. There are mainstream media such as the South China Evening Post and Oriental Daily, as well as a large number of unknown gossip tabloids, there are dozens of them.

These people were right at the door of the company, ready to get first-hand information.

This company that has been focused on by the Hong Kong media is the management company of New Territories Warehouse. Today this company will hold a new general meeting of shareholders.

It was said that it was to adjust the company's business, but under the hype of those ghost guys, everyone knew that this was a decisive battle between Li Yi's Star Investment Company and the Sassoon family team to re-determine the ownership of the New Territory Warehouse.

More importantly, the information revealed by the ghost guys in advance stated that this decisive battle would be very detrimental to Xingchen Company.

Some ghost guys have even shouted to the media: Today is not only Li Yi's first investment failure, but also the shattering of the myth.

The media is naturally very interested in this kind of gimmicky news, so they set out to report it with great fanfare.

At 08:30 in the morning, just as everyone was waiting anxiously, a fleet of more than a dozen vehicles arrived at the door of the company.

Then, these media reporters saw Gusta, who had been in the spotlight these days, getting out of the car.

Immediately afterwards, the famous Jazz and Dolson also walked down.

The last ones to get out of the car were Henry, the general manager of Huifeng Bank, Peter, the deputy general manager of Jardine Matheson, and senior executives of key British-funded enterprises such as Taikoo Li and Kadoorie.

Seeing the arrival of so many important figures from the British-funded group, reporters gathered around and took pictures with their cameras. The sound of "click" of murder film was heard at the scene!

I have to say that reporters in Hong Kong are very dedicated.

After taking the photos, they did not leave. Instead, they immediately held up the microphone one by one. Regardless of whether the interviewee would answer or not, they kept asking all kinds of tricky questions in their mouths:
"Mr. Gusta, I heard that you have obtained the controlling interest in New Territory Warehouse. You are here today to fight for control of the company. Is this true?"

"Mr. Gusta, was it you who defeated Mr. Li Yi of Xingchen Company? What do you think about this?"

"Mr. Dolson, did your British group participate in this operation against New Territory Warehouse? Didn't you have a non-attack agreement with Star Investment Company? Is it appropriate for you to blatantly violate the previous agreement like this?"

"Mr. Dolson"

Facing reporters' questions, Gusta behaved very generously.

He stopped the bodyguards from escorting them away, but took the initiative to come to the reporters, and then said like a gentleman: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for your attention to me. As everyone said, we are here today. The purpose is to compete for the controlling stake in the New Territories Warehousing Center, this company itself belongs to us!"

"In addition, I would like to say that this is just the beginning. Next, all companies including Hang Seng Bank, Longheng Bank, and Wharf will return to our hands."

Listening to Gusta's wild words in front of the media, Dolson behind him couldn't help but shook his head. He was too arrogant and too stupid.

There is no result yet on this matter, so there is no need to accept interviews from the media.

More importantly, he knew Li Yi, who was so impeccable in doing things, how could Gusta easily regain control of the New Territory Warehouse.

Although on the surface it seemed that the shares held by Gusta and others had exceeded that of Star Company, Dolson always felt that something was wrong.

However, he did not remind Gusta, partly because Dolson also hoped that Gusta would make a big fall and severely dampen his arrogance.

On the other hand, Dolson also knew that with Gusta's headstrong character, he would not listen to him no matter how much he reminded him.

Gusta spoke to the media for more than ten minutes, and after throwing out a series of eye-catching "big melons", he walked into the office building of the New Territories Warehouse Management Company surrounded by bodyguards.Less than 5 minutes after they left, another large motorcade arrived at the door of the New Territories Warehouse Management Company.

This time, people from Xingchen Investment Company and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce came. Except for Li Yi and some executives of Xingchen Investment Company, the rest were all members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, including Li Futiao, He Dongying, and the chartering king!

As soon as these people appeared, reporters surrounded them, but unlike Gusta's high profile, a large number of bodyguards stepped forward and stopped them before the reporters could rush up.

Then I saw Li Yi and others crossing the crowd and walking into the New Territories Warehouse Management Company.
When Li Yi and others walked into the conference room of the New Territories Warehouse Management Company, they saw that these ghost guys had arrived. They were sitting on one side of the circular conference table, waiting for the people from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce with a victor's attitude. .

Seeing Li Yi and others come in, Gusta didn't even get up from his seat, and said arrogantly in a superior tone: "Li, if you give up now, we are willing to buy your hand at [-]% of the market price." shares, otherwise your investment will be lost.”

However, Li Yi just glanced at him and said lightly: "You are Gusta, why do you think you will win?"

"Hahaha, this is not important. What is important is that we will definitely win today, and you must hand over control of the company!" Gusta said with a smile, his tone full of pride.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Li Yi's mouth, and then he said lightly: "Haha, it's easy to be slapped in the face if you talk too much!"

"Li, you will definitely lose today."

Li Yi ignored Gusta, and then said to He Yunsheng in the main seat: "General Manager He, let's start!"

He Yunsheng nodded, then stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the company's equity has changed frequently in recent times. The company has added many new shareholders, and some shareholders have withdrawn from the company."

"In order for the company to develop better, at the request of some shareholders, we held a shareholders' meeting of the New Territories Warehouse Management Company here to discuss the next stage of the company's development."

Before He Yunsheng finished speaking, he saw Gusta stand up and said: "Sorry, as the company's largest shareholder, I filed an application to dissolve the company's existing board of directors and re-identify the new chairman and general manager!"

Everyone present was not surprised by Gusta's sudden attack. Everyone had expected this before coming.

Soon, everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Yi.

"Mr. Gusta, since you say you are the company's major shareholder, then show us the evidence!" Li Yi said lightly.

Gusta was obviously well prepared. He calmly took out a stack of documents from the briefcase he carried with him, and then said: "This is the New Territories Warehouse Share Transfer Agreement. We currently have 43% of the New Territories Warehouse in our hands." The shares have exceeded those of your Xingchen Investment Company!"

However, the expression on Li Yi's face remained indifferent, and he said again calmly: "So what, you don't know that the major shareholders cannot and have no right to dissolve the board of directors unless the shareholding ratio reaches 51% of the controlling shareholder Proportion!"

Gusta looked at Li Yi and said proudly: "We did not reach the proportion of holdings, but we have the support of other shareholders!"

"Oh, I wonder which shareholder of the company supports you?" Li Yi said again.

"Dear Yang and Hu, as far as I know, your shareholding ratios are 3% and 6% respectively. Is this okay?" Gusta said.

A middle-aged man sitting aside immediately stood up and said: "Our Yang family does hold 3% of the shares of New Territories Warehouse!"

Then another middle-aged man also stood up and said: "Our Hu family also holds 6% of the shares of New Territories Warehouse!"

Gusta immediately laughed and said: "Li, now the two shareholders Yang and Hu support me. Their 9% plus my own 43% has exceeded the 51% required for controlling the holding. I now have It’s time to reorganize the board of directors!”

But at this moment, Li Yi looked at Gusta with a half-smile and said, "Gusta, are you sure these two shareholders support you?"

Hearing this, Gusta was stunned for a moment, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
