Hong Kong News: Rising from Kowloon Walled City

Chapter 195 Genesis Real Estate Company!
After the meeting, Wang Hui packed up and headed for the flight to Country M.

At the same time, Xu Ling also officially announced the news that Chuang Design Group would enter the mainland.

The first step to entering the mainland is to acquire land.

Xu Ling didn't want to make a small move, so he took out 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

We are planning to establish Genesis International Mall in four cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

At this point, Genesis Group’s mainland strategy officially kicked off.

In this era, there are very few Hong Kong tycoons who can invest 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the mainland, and they can’t be counted on one hand.

At this time, a phone call came in.

"Hey"

"Brother Ling, it's me, plane." The sound of a plane came from the other end of the phone.

"what's up?"

"Yes, it's like this, Brother Ling, the chairman of Quanbo Group, Guo Guofu..."

"Go check it out right now. We must find out who did it!"

"Yes, Brother Ling!"

……

The next day.

Xu Ling came to the door of the chairman's office.

Li Xinxin, wearing black stockings, walked up.

She smiled sweetly at Xu Ling, then skillfully brewed a pot of Keemun black tea for Xu Ling.

Then he lit a Cuban cigar and put it in Xu Ling's mouth.

After doing all this, he started to massage Xu Ling.

"Mr. Xu, Zhanmi and the others are already waiting for you in the conference room."

Xu Ling nodded slightly and said:

"I'll go over to the meeting after I finish reading the documents. Ask them to wait for a while."

Xu Ling picked up the document on the desk and started reading it.

His own Genesis Group is now growing bigger and bigger.

Zhanmi is indeed good at doing business.

Zhan Mido helped to manage all the acquisitions and mergers that he had assigned to him, and they were all in good order.

The business of the entire Genesis Group can be said to be booming.

The daily profit exceeded 100 million.

In this era, senior white-collar workers earn less than 5000 yuan a month.

An ordinary white-collar worker can only earn 3000 yuan a month.

As for blue-collar workers, they only make around 1500 to 2000 Hong Kong dollars. But Xu Ling can earn 100 million Hong Kong dollars a day.

What kind of existence is this?
Even Li Bancheng, Guo Binsheng, Liu Luanxiong and other bigwigs in the three realms may not earn more than him.

Because Li Bancheng had not yet become the richest man in Hong Kong Island, Liu Luanxiong was still running an electric fan factory.

After reading the company's financial statements, Xu Ling took Li Xinxin to the conference room.

It is already 10 o'clock.

There is a long rosewood conference table in the conference room.

Xu Ling sat in the first seat.

Jimmy sat on his left, and the others were managers of Genesis Group branches.

These people were all dressed in suits and ties like Jimmy, with hairspray on their heads.

There are definitely no more than 10 people who can attend today's meeting.

The others were secretaries brought by each party.

Before the meeting today, Xu Ling had already asked Li Xinxin to notify everyone.

The theme of the meeting was to take action against Quanbo Real Estate.

Zhanmi was the first to report: "Mr. Xu, the share price of Quanbo Group fell wildly at the opening today. It had shrunk by 10% within 8 minutes of opening. Now the total assets of Quanbo Real Estate Group are less than 12 billion."

Xu Ling nodded slightly. He had not listed Chuang Design Group because of this consideration.

We do not accept third-party financial audits, thus ensuring the independence and risk resistance of Chuang Design Group.

Otherwise, when the financial crisis comes in a few years, we will be in trouble.

"Just wait and see, don't be anxious, and we need to observe Quanbo Real Estate first," Xu Ling said slowly to Zhanmi.

Yesterday, Xu Ling heard a report on the crisis faced by Quanbo Group by plane.

A group of gang members kidnapped Guo Xiaofeng, the son of Guo Guofu, chairman of Quanbo Group, and demanded a ransom of 500 million yuan.

Guo Guofu took out 500 million in cash without telling other shareholders, but the kidnappers still killed his son.

Unfortunately, this news was known by the ubiquitous Hong Kong journalists, who began to publicize it vigorously.

Now that this news has caused a lot of trouble, the share price of Quanbo Group will plummet.

The main purpose of Xu Ling holding this meeting today is to acquire the entire Quanbo Group's shares, which are very high-quality shares.

……

While the Genesis Group was holding a real estate hunting meeting, the victim, the Quanbo Group, was also holding a meeting on the other side.

"Mr. Guo, why has the company become like this? Please give me a reasonable explanation!"

At the meeting, Zheng Jimin, the second largest shareholder of Quanbo Group, questioned Guo Guofu, chairman of Quanbo Group.

"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it anymore. The truth is, my son has been kidnapped."

"The other party asked for 600 million yuan, and I really need cash."

"So the company's policies have been adjusted during this period. I don't know who leaked the news, which caused the stock price to fluctuate," Guo Guofu, chairman of Quanbo Group, told Zheng Jimin.

Other shareholders started to complain:

"Chairman, your son has been kidnapped, right?"

"Who kidnapped him?"

"Yeah, how come we didn't know about such a big thing?"

"Even if your son was kidnapped, you should have told us in advance!"

"Our company has lost 3 million yuan in the past few days, and the stock price has been falling."

"This can't go on like this."

"Chairman, are you trying to bring the company down by doing this?"

"Yes, the company belongs to everyone. Although you are the major shareholder, we also invested real money!"

The shareholders were talking to each other in an emotional state.

Guo Guofu holds a 28% stake in Quanbo Real Estate Group.

This time his son was kidnapped and extorted by some big gang members. Five hundred million.

He moved the cash privately.

But after the news came out, the stock price of Quanbo Real Estate Group plummeted as if it had bacillary dysentery.

The entire group was dehydrated.

As other shareholders, they were of course anxious about the group losing so much all at once.

Guo Guofu squinted his eyes and smoked a cigar.

He waited until the shareholders had finished speaking before he raised his head and looked at everyone.

His eyes were very gloomy.

Because he spent 500 million, but his son was still killed by the Big Circle Boys.

"Oh!"

Guo Guofu slapped the table. His eyes were extremely scary!
When the other shareholders saw that Guo Guofu was really angry, no one complained anymore.

After all, the founder of Quanbo Real Estate Group is Guo Guofu.

Guo Guofu looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Our company has been established for 22 years. What kind of crisis have we not experienced in these 22 years?"

"It's normal for stocks to go up and down. Is there any stock in the world that only goes up and never goes down? Tell me one."

"Don't worry, I've already called the general managers of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank."

“They have all promised to lend money to our group, and when this crisis is over, our company’s share price will return to what it was before.

"Everyone here is a shareholder, big or small. Don't be like those retail investors who don't have their own thinking."

Guo Guofu's words calmed people's hearts, and the shareholders immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The main reason is that Guo Guofu said that Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC have agreed to lend money. As long as these two banks support it, there is still hope for the group to revive.

In any case, Quanbo Real Estate Group is one of the four major real estate developers in Hong Kong Island.

It owns many assets.

Those fixed assets will not depreciate with the company's stock price.

Now that Hong Kong's economy is getting better and better, the fixed assets purchased by the company in the past will only appreciate significantly.

Therefore, Quanbo Group is still very confident.

Just as Guo Guofu announced his next plan, his female secretary came over with a panicked look on her face.

Then he leaned over to Guo Guofu's ear and whispered, "Chairman, there's a cop here. It's from the Financial Investigation Division of the Police Department."

"From the Financial Investigation Division?"

After hearing the female secretary's report, Guo Guofu frowned.

This time, the kidnappers kidnapped his son, so he made two preparations.

On the one hand, he tried hard to raise cash, and on the other hand, he called the police as soon as possible.

The cop also wanted him to prepare cash to contact the kidnappers.

When the time comes, they will close the net and catch all the kidnappers in one fell swoop.

But the kidnappers didn't know what was going on.

After getting the money, he actually wrote the check and also escaped from the police.

"What a bunch of trash. He gives so many benefits to the police department every year, but these cops are just good-for-nothings." Guo Guofu complained in his heart.

"Tell them to wait for me in the little drawing room. I have something else to announce."

Guo Guofu said something to the female secretary, and then explained the next action plan to other shareholders.

He didn't take the note seriously at all. But what he didn't expect was

He hasn't finished explaining things to the shareholders yet.

The cops just barged in.

Walking in the front is Liu Jianming, the chief of the Financial Investigation Section of the Financial Department.

"Sir, you can't go in, the chairman is in a meeting!"

“Hey, you can’t go in.”

Several of Guo Guofu's bodyguards hurriedly tried to stop them.

But there were more than a dozen of these policemen, and they were all armed, as if they were facing a powerful enemy, with live ammunition.

After seeing this scene, Guo Guofu suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Jianming.

He didn't know Liu Jianming.

Because it was his first time dealing with the Financial Investigation Division.

"Which department are you from? My secretary and bodyguard have already told us that we are in a meeting. How could you barge in without permission?"

"Chairman Guo, I am Chief Inspector Liu Jianming from the Financial Investigation Division."

"Please cooperate with us to assist in the investigation. This is a court subpoena. Please take a look."

After saying this, Liu Jianming took out the court subpoena, which had the signature of the Director of the Security Bureau on it.

For a business tycoon like Guo Guofu, even the signature of the Commissioner of Police would not work.

It also needs the signature of his immediate superior, the Secretary for Security.

After seeing the court summons, Guo Guofu was stunned.

The other shareholders looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

Why would the cops come to arrest the chairman?

Not only was the chairman's own son kidnapped and killed, but the company was also affected and spent 5 million yuan.

What exactly is going on?

If they were to assist in the investigation, why would they need a court subpoena? This was clearly a case of ill-intentioned behavior.

These shareholders didn't understand the specific situation, so no one stood up to speak.

There was a big question mark on everyone's face.

In fact, Guo Guofu was also confused and looked bewildered.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

Wei Wen!

His assistant and driver Wei Wen!
This time he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Because there was no news from his main assistant, and he was the one who assigned the task to Wei Wen.

The mission is to help the killer kill the kidnapper leader with the number.

He has been calling Wei Wen non-stop since early this morning, but the call just doesn't go through.

Now that the cop actually appeared in front of him, it was very likely that something had happened to Wei Wen.

At this time, Liu Jianming said to Guo Guofu.

"Chairman Guo, a shooting occurred in Sham Shui Po at 12:30 last night. The criminals were all from the Big Circle. They used AK47s and caused three deaths and one missing."

"Coincidentally, those big circle boys were involved in the kidnapping of your son Guo Xiaofeng"

"The missing person is the leader of the Big Circle Gang, Ji Bingxiong. He is our most wanted gangster!"

"Also, your main assistant and driver, Wei Wen, is closely related to the kidnapping of your son and collusion with the big circle. We have already captured Wei Wen."

"Inspector Liu Jianming, Wei Wen is my driver and assistant, but that's all."

"Chairman Guo, I want to remind you that it is our duty as police officers to take down criminals."

“You have no law enforcement authority.”

"If you ordered your assistants to kill these big circle guys, then you are breaking the law."

"Now that we have acquired certain evidence, we have applied to the court for a subpoena. We hope you will cooperate with us."

Just then, Guo Guofu's lawyer arrived.

He immediately came over to Liu Jianming and said, "Inspector Liu Jianming, my client has the right to refuse to answer any of your questions!"

"You can ask me anything you want to ask. I will first understand the basic situation with my client."

Hearing what the lawyer said, Liu Jianming nodded.

After all, the evidence in his hands was not sufficient.

Even though he knew clearly that Guo Guofu would definitely use all his connections to kill those outside the big circle.

But Hong Kong is a society ruled by law after all. To convict someone, there must be a strong chain of evidence.

Otherwise, there can be no arrest.

The best we can do is ask Guo Guofu to assist in the investigation.

Besides, Guo Guofu is a wealthy man in Hong Kong Island.

It is not easy to bring down a business tycoon like Guo Guofu.

You have to have hard evidence.

Otherwise, the social impact will be too great, and even the Secretary for Security will not be able to resist public opinion.

"Chairman Guo, you will not resist the court subpoena this time, right?" Liu Jianming said slowly.

"Inspector Liu Jianming, of course my client can go back with you to assist in the investigation."

"But I must be present, otherwise my client has the right to refuse to answer any of your questions." Guo Guofu's lawyer said immediately.

Yes, no problem, we will follow the law.”

Liu Jianming nodded and said.

Afterwards, Guo Guofu and his lawyer followed Liu Jianming out of the chairman's meeting room.

……

the other side.

Kowloon Walled City.

A man of medium build was wearing sunglasses and holding a cigarette in his hand while listening to a report from a henchman.

This man is the century's gangster, Qi Bingxiong.

Yesterday morning when Guo Guofu ordered the Number Gang to shoot them, three of his men died, but he managed to escape with his great skills.

After hiding in Kowloon Walled City for a long time, he contacted his other men.

He had already learned some news at this moment.
