Chapter 330: Visiting the Mountain Gate
Hearing this, Alvin's eyes hidden behind the lenses flashed a gleam, but quickly disappeared.
"After verification, the shares of the five of them have now been transferred to the hands of Lin Zehao, the owner of Hutchison Industries."
"The total is percent, which is still at a safe level."
Albert picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, licked his tongue, and said, “Pay attention when making coffee next time, remember to put more sugar cubes and condensed milk.”
The secretary beside him nodded quickly.
"Eight and a half percent of the shares can't cause any trouble here. Any one of the institutions behind us can make him mute."
"Ignore him for now, let's see what Lin Zehao means, and then make a decision."
"According to the customs of the Hong Kong people, if he wants to be our dog, he should come to visit us with gifts during this period, at the latest after the New Year."
Albert was half lying on the chair, with an inexplicable certainty in his tone.
This is not groundless, but the conclusion they have drawn after so many years of development in Hong Kong Island.
There are few Chinese people with backbone.
Alvin sucked on his pipe and said, "I think Lin Zehao is different from other Chinese people. Judging from the things he has done, he is not a guy who is willing to be inferior to others."
"The so-called paying respects to the boss may just be your wishful thinking."
Albert curled his lips in disdain and said, "Let's not talk about other people, just talk about that Li Chaoren. He dreams of being our dog. Even when we acquired Hutchison Whampoa, if he hadn't been there for me and done so many things for me, would I have authorized Shen Bi to acquire Hutchison Whampoa's shares?"
"You can tell the whole picture by looking at a small part. This is true for Li Chaoren and most of the wealthy people in Hong Kong Island. As for this so-called Lin Zehao, it is probably the same."
"Those so-called toughness are just bargaining tactics."
Upon hearing this, Shen Bi, who was standing by, could only lower his head and pretend to drink his coffee.
People only know that he is the boss and chairman of the board of directors of HSBC, but in fact, few people know that he is just a spokesperson pushed to the front by certain people.
HSBC originally started out by making money from wars, and it has been developing for hundreds of years.
Throughout the history of the world, any bank that has survived for hundreds of years is not a simple one.
They have all the means you can think of and can't think of!
"So what do you mean?" Alvin didn't refute, but just exhaled a puff of smoke and asked.
Albert drank the coffee in one gulp, and inevitably some coffee stains appeared on the corners of his mouth. He picked up the white handkerchief beside him, wiped his mouth, and said, "It's very simple, just one word, wait."
"Let's see what Lin Zehao means. As for the timing, let's wait until after the New Year."
"If his performance during this period cannot satisfy me, then he is naturally not qualified to be our dog!"
Alvin just smiled but didn't say much, continuing to suck on his pipe.
After a while, he stood up and said meaningfully: "There is a kind of bird in this world that is born not to be kept in a cage."
"I believe you will understand what I mean soon."
After saying that, Alvin turned around and left the meeting room.
Looking at his back, Albert squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, Shen Bi, who was standing by, thought for a while and asked, "Are they still unwilling to give in?"
Albert shook his head and said, "It is not easy to integrate such a huge company as HSBC. Since ancient times, things involving the interests of so many people have never been so easy to handle."
"The forces behind Alvin are still pulling each other, and there are many people watching from the sidelines. Perhaps this is why his attitude towards Lin Zehao, the troublemaker, is so ambiguous."
"They believe that a stagnant and unchanging environment is not conducive to the redistribution of benefits, and that only by taking advantage of the situation can the benefits be maximized."
Shen Bi nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.
At the same time, he also developed a strong interest in Lin Zehao.
Before, he had heard a lot of bad things from Li Chaoren.
Now it seems that there is a lot of water in what Li Chaoren said.
If Lin Zehao really relied on luck to reach his current position and hold HSBC shares, then since he had worked hard for most of his life to become the chairman of the board of directors of HSBC, wouldn't he just hang himself from a beam?
After Albert tidied his clothes, he stood up and said, "Okay, let's stop here today."
"If there are any further changes, we will notify you."
After finishing speaking, Albert and his secretary also walked out of the meeting room.
Seeing this, others also left in twos and threes, and Shen Bi was no exception.
……
Wong Tai Sin, United Road, Dynamic Ballroom.
Rows of black Mercedes-Benz cars with tiger heads are parked steadily on the roadside.
After a while, strong men in black suits, with sturdy builds and determined expressions, got out of the car one after another.
A younger brother opened the back door and said respectfully, "Brother Qiang."
Chen Guoqiang, wearing a crimson suit, slowly got out of the car. He took off his sunglasses, threw them to his younger brother beside him, pointed to the dance hall, and said, "Let's go find the prince."
"Yes, Brother Qiang!"
Everyone responded in unison and walked towards the dynamic dance hall.
"Who are you? How dare you come here to cause trouble?"
"Do you know that this is Hongtai's territory?"
"Get out of here if you know what's best for you, or you'll have to bear the consequences!"
The thugs at the door immediately stepped forward and stopped Hutchison's younger brothers.
Chen Guoqiang didn't say anything, just waved his hand.
When the younger brothers saw this, they understood immediately. A few of them stepped out from the team, took a few steps, and kicked at Hong Tai's "Sijiuzai"!
Hongtai's scoundrels only had time to let out a muffled groan before they were kicked to the ground, holding their stomachs with their hands, their faces flushed red like cooked shrimps.
Hongtai Sijiuzi, who was chatting not far away, was stunned when he saw this scene, then picked up a weapon beside him and rushed over here.
Facing the menacing enemy, one of Shenghe's younger brothers stepped forward, stretched out his hand, pointed at the people holding steel pipes and machetes, and said loudly: "Open your eyes and see clearly. Shenghe is doing things. Who dares to stop him?"
As he spoke, the younger brother pointed to his left chest, where there was a golden embroidery with only one word, a very simple word "和"!
The word "和" was written in a flamboyant style and was full of domineering power. It was written by their leader, Brother Hao!
Seeing this, the Hongtai gang members subconsciously stopped, with astonishment and unconcealable surprise written all over their faces. They stared at the chest of the young man who was speaking for a long time, but could not figure out what was going on.
In the end, everyone had to focus their attention on the little leader, the violent bear.
Violent Bear is about meters tall and has a fairly sturdy build with visible traces of muscle. His exposed arms are covered in colorful tattoos.
Holding a machete, he walked forward slowly, his face dark, and said, "Hutchison? If you say it is, it is it?"
"Everyone in Hong Kong knows that Shing Wo Wei Long is the most troublesome. Every day, there are so many people who come here to cause trouble under the name of Hutchison Whampoa!"
"I still say I am the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLeod. Anyway, we are all men and we all have one in our mouths, so what's the difference?"
Hearing this, Hong Tai's younger brothers behind him burst into laughter, with mocking expressions written all over their faces.
Just as I was about to retort, I saw Chen Guoqiang winking at him. Even though he was unwilling, he could only step aside.
Chen Guoqiang adjusted his crimson suit, glanced at the violent bear that only reached his chest, and asked, "What is your position in Hongtai?"
Violent Bear was stunned for a moment, then replied: "I'm in charge of a street in Hongtai, what do you think?"
"Oh?"
"That's the little jerk."
Chen Guoqiang's face was full of sarcasm. As soon as he finished speaking, his right hand attacked with lightning speed, grabbed the violent bear's neck, and suddenly exerted force. His muscular arm instantly became as hard as iron and stone!
"Let... let go..."
The violent bear flew up into the air, his feet off the ground, his face flushed red, his body seemed to be drained of strength, the machete in his hand fell to the ground, his hands struggled unconsciously, his legs dangled weakly, breathing became extremely difficult, even his consciousness began to become hazy. Seeing this, Hongtai's brothers were ready to take action immediately, and Heji's brothers didn't waste any time, three punches and two kicks, and knocked the opponent to the ground.
Hong Tai's younger brothers rolled on the ground, wailing.
As for our side, there was not even one injured or bruised.
This shows how big the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides is.
Gradually, the violent bear's eyes turned white, his face began to turn purple, and his hands and legs drooped limply, unable to even make the slightest movement of resistance.
"Push to the street!"
Chen Guoqiang snorted coldly, and his right hand, which was like an iron clamp, suddenly loosened. The violent bear, who was limp all over, fell directly to the ground like a pool of boneless mud.
"Cough...cough...cough..."
The violent bear coughed continuously like a drowning man coming ashore, and at the same time opened his mouth wide, breathing in the fresh air greedily, and was also grateful for escaping death.
At that moment, he really thought that he was going to go downstairs to sell salted duck eggs.
Just now, in a trance, he seemed to see his grandmother who had passed away many years ago. He never wanted to experience that painful yet powerless feeling again.
Chen Guoqiang kicked the limp Violent Bear with the tip of his shoe and asked, "Are you still the Governor of Hong Kong? Or have you grown another jaw?"
Violent Bear quickly forced himself to stand up, nodded and bowed, "My dear Hutchison boss, I was blind and didn't recognize you just now. I'm sorry for offending you."
"I wonder what this boss's name is? What brings you to Hongtai?"
"As long as you tell me where I can be of use, I will do my best!"
As he spoke, Violent Bear reached into his right pocket, took out a box of Marlboro, pulled out a cigarette, and handed it to Chen Guoqiang with great respect.
Chen Guoqiang glanced at him, did not take the cigarette, and said, "Shenghe, Chen Guoqiang."
Then he asked, "Do you smoke Marlboro?"
When he heard the name, Violent Bear subconsciously looked at Chen Guoqiang's chest. After confirming that there were two big waves, he immediately believed the statement.
"It turned out to be Daliqiang. Brother Qiang, it was all my fault for being blind and offending you just now. Don't take it to heart..."
There are very few people in the entire Hong Kong underworld who have not heard of the name Daliqiang.
As one of Wei Longhao's right-hand men, he assisted the other party in rising from the bottom and made great contributions over the years.
In addition to Daliqiang's strong martial arts skills, his brotherhood with his boss Wei Longhao is also something that many people talk about.
Chen Guoqiang frowned and said, "You haven't answered my question yet. Do you usually smoke Marlboro?"
Violent Bear was stunned at first, then suddenly realized and quickly explained: "This is not Weilong Hao, Brother Hao likes to smoke this brand of cigarettes..."
"All of us who are out there regard Brother Hao as our idol. We would rather skip meals than save up money to buy Marlboro cigarettes..."
Hearing this, Chen Guoqiang did not dwell on this issue any more and said, "Take us to find the prince, and the rest has nothing to do with you."
Hearing this request, Violent Bear's face looked a little ugly, but when he looked at the brothers lying on the ground wailing, and thought of the suffocating feeling just now, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Qiang, you also know that the prince is the only son of Uncle Mei, the leader of Hongtai. Over the years, the prince has relied on his power to do a lot of things. These people in the society have cleaned up his butts and taken the blame for him..."
"If I take you to find the prince in front of so many people, I won't be able to gain a foothold in Hongtai in the future. Uncle Mei will definitely find all kinds of excuses to kill me."
Chen Guoqiang put his right hand into his pocket, and when he took it out again, there was a grip strengthener in his hand.
While squeezing the gripper, he said nonchalantly: "Before the prince offended Heji, he was still the prince of your Hongtai."
"But after he offended Hutchison, he is nothing!"
"To tell you the truth, my sister-in-law is very unhappy with what the prince has done over the years. You should know the consequences of this matter."
Upon hearing this, shock was written all over Violent Bear's face. He originally thought that the prince owed a loan shark and didn't pay it back, so Hutchison came to him. He didn't expect that it involved Wei Longhao's woman!
The nature of this matter changed in an instant!
With Wei Longhao's methods, can the prince have a good ending?
Violent Bear was confused and said, "Brother Qiang, I can tell you where the prince is, but I also need to inform the society about this matter. I hope you can understand."
"After all, if other gangs come to take someone, I have a duty to report to the society regardless of whether the person is a prince or not."
Chen Guoqiang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Take me to find the prince now. Even if you want to call the police, I won't stop you."
He had followed Brother Hao and worked his way up from the bottom of society step by step. Naturally, he knew that small people have their own way of survival.
Brother Hao only mentioned that the prince should be dealt with. As for other things, there was no need for Chen Guoqiang to be too serious.
Violent Bear was impressed by Chen Guoqiang's behavior. People in the underworld said that people from Hutchison Whampoa naturally have a sense of underworld morality.
He didn’t believe it before, but now, he really believes it!
If it were someone else, they would never agree to this request that might be suspected of tipping off.
"Brother Qiang, come with me."
Violent Bear said this and started to lead the way.
Chen Guoqiang naturally had no idea what he was thinking, but even if he knew, he would probably just smile.
The reason why he agreed to Violent Bear's request was mostly due to his confidence in Hutchison's golden brand!
As long as Hutchison has Brother Hao in charge, they have the confidence!
As for the other aspect, it is the empathy of those who were at the same bottom of society.
Soon, Violent Bear came to the door of a box and said, "Brother Qiang, the prince is here."
Chen Guoqiang waved his hand at him and said, "There's nothing for you to do here, let's go."
The violent bear turned around and walked away, but before he had gone two meters away, a loud noise was heard.
He subconsciously turned around, only to see that the door that was supposed to be installed on the door frame had disappeared, and was lying quietly on the ground, serving as a stepping stone for Hutchison's younger brothers.
Seeing this, Violent Bear quickly turned around and even quickened his pace.
"It is said that Sheng and Daliqiang were born with supernatural powers. After seeing them today, they are indeed worthy of their reputation!"
"Given the prince's body hollowed out by alcohol and sex, it's easy for Daliqiang to beat him to death with just one punch..."
In the box.
Facing the flying door, the prince, who was letting himself go and floating in the clouds, subconsciously shrank his body and protected his head.
"Listen carefully, all women get out!"
The three hostesses didn't dare to waste any more time and ran out screaming.
Chen Guoqiang glanced at the sofa and frowned immediately when he saw the mess on it.
Seeing this, the clever younger brother nearby immediately and swiftly brought over a stool.
Chen Guoqiang patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, it's eye-catching."
Afterwards, he sat on the stool with a big horse and a golden sword, and looked at the trembling prince hiding under the coffee table with a look of disdain.
"I'll attack your mother!"
"Although your father is a bit stupid, he was quite courageous when he was young. How could he give birth to a fool like you who can do nothing but drink, have sex and play with women?"
"Get out from under the table right now, or I'll blow your head off!"
Chen Guoqiang squeezed the hand gripper, his tone full of disgust.
To be honest, if this matter did not involve his sister-in-law, he would have handed it over to his younger brothers long ago.
Chen Guoqiang had absolutely no interest in a jerk like the prince.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'll come out now..."
The prince crawled out from under the table tremblingly. When he saw Chen Guoqiang in a crimson suit, he froze in his tracks and asked in disbelief, "He Shenghe, Daliqiang?"
Another 15,000, please give me a monthly ticket! My fingers are cramping...
