Hong Kong: Starting with 10 billion

Chapter 85 Reactions from all parties
The Hong Kong government was also affected by the news of this strong earthquake.

"Mr. Wilson, how is the settlement between your Department of Justice and Mr. Fang going?"

"Your Excellency the Governor, we believe that Mr. Fang is willing to reconcile, but his conditions are too harsh, and I have no right to agree to them."

"Oh? What are his conditions?"

"He wants to build a villa on the peninsula of Stanley Barracks!"

"Haha, these rich people have really unique ideas."

"I completely agree with you on this point. As a wealthy man, isn't the Peak enough for them to show off their wealth?"

"Maybe this is what makes him different. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made $46 billion in such a short time. What a crazy guy!"

"I admit he's pretty powerful, but that's a military camp, and the dignity of the British government cannot be violated!"

"Well did he give a reason?"

"He said that Taipingshan was still too noisy and he wanted to live somewhere quieter."

"It's not impossible to consider his request. Are the British Empire's soldiers afraid that he will spy on military intelligence? Of course not. It's just a matter of face."

"But this is a different time. If it was last year, I would never agree to it. But now, who has made him so rich?"

"What does the Governor mean?"

"I just visited the north last year, and they were already interested in holding negotiations on the Hong Kong issue."

"At this time, we also need to win the hearts and minds of the people in Hong Kong, especially the Chinese. As long as they are loyal to the empire, we will have more bargaining chips."

"Therefore, giving some sweeteners to influential people is also a means to achieve our goal."

"But."

"What the British Empire wants is practical benefits. As for face, it should be given up without hesitation when it is time to lose it!"

"Understood, Your Excellency!"

"It's up to him to decide how much land he wants and how much sea he wants to fill, as long as he pays."

"He will feel very safe as a neighbor of our soldiers, haha!"

Global Shipping, Pao Yue-Kong's office.

The shipping magnate received Wang Kuancheng who came to visit.

This old gentleman, 73 years old, is a well-known patriotic businessman.

For decades, we have been donating money to support the development of education in the mainland.

Even, the year before his death in 1986,
He also invested US$1 million to establish the "Wang Kuancheng Education Foundation".
Dedicated to national education and cultivating high-level scientific and technological talents.

This was almost all his wealth, but the old man didn't hesitate at all.

He will establish the "Yonggang Friendship Association" this year to persuade Ningbo people in Hong Kong to contribute money and effort to promote Ningbo's construction and development.

Now, besides Pao Yue-kong, Fong Hok-hin is the second wealthy man he most wants to conquer.

"Old Bao, I never thought that the little fellow you introduced to us old folks would actually be a real dragon playing in the shallow pond."

"Haha, Brother Kuancheng, you are already so old, but you have learned how to flatter others."

"Haha, I have to brag about it. That's 230 billion. I can't make that much in several lifetimes. It's unbelievable!"

"Young people have their own luck, and we are left behind!"

"That's true, but I still admire your ability to judge people!"

"Haha, it's not that I know how to judge people. He took the initiative to get to know me. I can only say that people like us from Ningbo can always make a name for ourselves wherever we go."

"This little guy's courage is a hundred times more powerful than his vision, tut tut"

"To be honest, I also participated in this gold bull market, but I was not so bold and did not dare to use leverage. I made a small profit of more than 700 million yuan."

"It makes others envious!"

"Haha, Ah Xuan vowed that the price of gold would definitely go up. Although I was a little skeptical, I still took out 2 million yuan to play with it. This can be considered a windfall!"

"So, I came to you this time to discuss with you that we would be more confident if we could take him with us on future visits to the north."

"Well, you don't need to ask for this. I want to do this too. Although he is young, he is courageous and smart. He is a man who can accomplish great things!"

"By the way, Lao Bao, is there any problem with your Wharf acquisition plan?" "Haha, I'm more confident this time. Thanks to Xuan for letting me plan ahead. Now that I have more money, I'm more confident and stronger."

"Then congratulations in advance!"

Tai Hang Road, Mid-Levels, Causeway Bay East.

This area was the villa area for Hong Kong Chinese businessmen in the 1940s and 1950s.

The famous Tiger and Leopard Villa is not far from the Fang family’s ancestral home.

Inside Fang’s house.

Fang Jinpeng is enduring the anger of his mother Ye Meifeng.

"I don't believe that a bastard born of a bastard can make money!"

"Mom, now everyone in Hong Kong knows this is true. A reporter asked HSBC for confirmation and they gave a positive response."

"Bah, maybe HSBC is using Fang Hexuan to create confusion and momentum."

"Even if you are right, what is the motive? Why did they jointly perform this drama?"

"This this."

"Mom, we can't offend him now. It's best to forget the past grudges!"

"Humph, you still have the nerve to ask me to let bygones be bygones? It's all because of you, a useless loser!"

"I've asked you to deal with Fang Hexuan many times, but which time have you done it to my satisfaction?"

".At least it's true that he was sent to prison."

"What are you mumbling about?"

"Mom, it's useless to say all this now. We should be thankful that he doesn't cause us any trouble."

"Bah! Just because you're rich is so great? The Fang family is law-abiding, what can he do to us?"

"If he really holds a grudge, I don't know how he will deal with us."

"After all this talk, you still don't have any idea at all."

"Mom, even if I don't have any credit, I have worked hard. Besides, the benefits you promised me have not been fulfilled yet."

"Oh! You still have the nerve to bring this up? I haven't done what I asked you to do, so I've been very lenient by not sending you to Canada."

Cheung Kong Group Headquarters.

Li Ka-shing sat in his office, looking at the newspapers on the table.

I feel an indescribable sense of frustration.

"Now, can I still beat him?"

"Hutchison Whampoa, I'm afraid it's not easy to take it down."

"There are so many smart people, why him?"

Li Ka-shing has continued to acquire Hutchison Whampoa shares from various channels since the end of June last year.
So far, an additional 9.96% has been acquired on top of the original 2.86%.

The main thing is that anyone with a discerning eye can see that no current shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa can control Hutchison Whampoa alone.

Then, retail investors or institutions holding common shares can bid up the price and wait for the Hutchison Whampoa share price to rise rapidly.

Even if Li Ka-shing wanted to buy it, it would not be easy to buy it.

"It seems that we really need to join forces with Fang."

"But why are you so unwilling?"

"Why do I feel as if my things have been taken away from me?"

Looking at the eye-catching words "230 billion" and "Hong Kong's richest man" in the newspaper,

He leaned weakly on the back of the chair, rubbing his eyebrows.

I just feel that the business world is a hundred times more difficult than the battlefield!
