Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1622 Planning
After receiving Han Li's request yesterday, Anita Koch immediately found someone she had previously worked with who was now the manager of the external relations department at Jia Ning Group.

Anita Koch met with the owner of Jia Ning Group this morning through the manager's introduction.

Anita Koch originally thought that Han Li would never agree to the conditions he offered, and that she would be lucky to avoid being scolded on this trip.

So when Anita Koch spoke, she was quite blunt, directly stating that those companies and industries now represent 65% of their current value.

But to Anita Koch's surprise, after hearing the terms, Jia Ning's boss neither scolded her nor kicked her out. After a moment of contemplation, he smiled and said...

“Ms. Anita Koch is joking; this price is not sincere at all.”

"You know, those businesses you mentioned are profitable every day, generating wealth for the group daily. If I wanted to sell, I could simply announce it, and someone would immediately offer to acquire them at a price far exceeding the market value."

Anita Koch had anticipated this, and upon hearing Jia Ning's words, she felt her mission was over.
However, in order to save face for her firm and herself, Anita Koch used the current economic downturn in Hong Kong and the potential security risks it might face in the future as a reason for the extremely low acquisition price. Just as she was about to leave, Boss Jia Ning asked with a smile.

“Ms. Anita Koch’s claims are all unfounded speculations; until things reach that point, no one knows what will happen.”

Anyway, I have great confidence in the British government and am not worried that my assets will be confiscated in the future.

What I'm really curious about is, was this quote from your HighT Brothers Law Firm? Or...?

Anita Koch scoffed at some of Jia Ning's words, thinking to herself, "If those Englishmen in Hong Kong don't even have confidence in the future, where does a Malay monkey like you get your confidence from?"

Despite her disdain, Anita Koch did not directly answer Jia Ning's question. She simply smiled and reaffirmed her previous statement before taking her leave.

At this point, Jia Ning's boss called Anita Koch over, and after she left her phone number, the conversation ended.

After returning, Anita Koch felt increasingly uneasy. She had a feeling that this commission might not be entirely hopeless, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

As soon as Han Li called, Anita Koch started asking all the questions that had been on her mind.

Han Li brushed it off with some ambiguous and suggestive words, telling Anita Koch to follow up on the matter and to try to lower the price if possible, before hanging up the phone.

After hearing the busy tone on the microphone, Anita Koch thought for a while before she felt she had figured it out.

Whether Anita Koch was just imagining things or was misled by Han Li's words, she felt that this was likely a private business transaction between the two parties, otherwise the price wouldn't have been so low.

Therefore, not only will her commission be successful, but if she pretends not to know anything and pushes down the acquisition price of those industries a little more, she can also earn an even more generous commission.

If Han Li knew what Anita Koch was thinking right now, he would definitely give her a thumbs up, while Boss Jia Ning would definitely curse him out.

In any case, this wonderful misunderstanding has been sown.

Once Attorney Jin's short selling of Jia Ning Group shares begins to show initial results, this wonderful seed will blossom and bear fruit, becoming a reality.

After hanging up the phone, Han Li added a few strokes to the sketch and looked at it with increasing satisfaction. The matter was progressing as he had envisioned, and if it could advance two or three more steps smoothly, wouldn't it be a success?

After the initial excitement came the tedious time of reading and studying. It wasn't until the Chung sisters returned, prepared dinner, and called him to eat that Han Li finally put down his books and left the study. At the dinner table, after Chung Chu-hong finished telling Han Li about the day's events at the company, Chung Chu-dan began discussing several islands she had found suitable for a trip, asking everyone to consider them.

Green Egg Island: Originally called Rotten Pai, it is a small, uninhabited island closest to the Saigon coast.

The advantage is its proximity; you can easily row there yourself, even if you just rent a small boat.

The downside is also its proximity. Because of this proximity, many people visit Green Egg Island, and with so many people, the environment becomes quite chaotic. If you encounter a chaotic situation, it can seriously affect your enjoyment of the trip.

Qiaozui Island: It's neither too far nor too close, and the scenery and beaches are quite nice. However, in recent years, some people have started to set up farmhouses and restaurants there. Although this has solved the problem of food and lodging, it has also lost the flavor of a wild outing.

Tap Mun Island: It is known as "Grass Island" because of its large grasslands.

There are five villages there, and the locals graze cattle and sheep on the grasslands. If you go there, you have to be careful not to step in any manure.

The beaches and seaside areas on Tap Mun Island that are open to tourists are also off-limits, because the area was a gathering place for fishing boats long ago.

Not only are many fishing boats moored there, but many restaurants, eateries, and shops have also been built along the shore.

The remaining shorelines and beaches, which are not frequented by fishing boats, are mostly rocky and boulders, making them unsuitable for recreation.

Red Island: Known as a fiery red harbor in Hong Kong, it is also called the Danxia landform at sea.

The downside is that it's too far away; you need to hire a boat to go there and back.

The advantages are that the scenery and beaches are beautiful, and because it is far away, there are almost no people, so you don't have to worry about noise or chaos when you visit.

What's most appealing is that there's a natural mountain stream on Chizhou Island, so you can bring much less fresh water when you visit.

Even if the fresh water is undrinkable, as long as it can be used for bathing, they can freely go swimming and diving at the beach.

Huangmaozhou Island: The downside is that it is too far away. If you want to go there, you need to hire a boat to go back and forth, and you also need to bring all the necessities for your trip, which is very expensive.

The advantages are that the scenery is beautiful, like a gemstone, and it is very quiet. You can hardly worry about being disturbed when playing on Wong Mau Chau Island. It can be said to be one of the best islands in Hong Kong for a worry-free trip.

Moreover, there is an abandoned lighthouse on the island, so even in the face of storms and unpredictable weather at sea, there is no need to worry about having nowhere to take shelter.

In addition, Chung Chu-dan also mentioned many islands around Hong Kong, such as Nga Mei Chau, Tung Ping Chau, Tiao Chung Chau, Tai Tau Chau, and Ong Kong Wan.

However, Han Li was only responsible for listening to these situations; he didn't get involved in finalizing the location.

Even if Zhong Chudan kept staring at him while asking for his opinion, it wouldn't change anything.

Zhong Chudan was still young, and when she didn't get a response from Han Li, she actually kicked him under the table.
