Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1655 A Heart-Touching Day

If Liu Xiaoqing were to ask him for help in resolving, communicating, or exchanging ideas about the emptiness, loneliness, and coldness she feels after her divorce...

Considering her youthful and vibrant face, and her figure, which was estimated to be comparable to Li Zhi's in terms of curves, along with the added boost of her celebrity status, Han Li was still very willing to lend a hand.

However, it's absolutely impossible for Han Li to help Liu Xiaoqing find a partner in Hong Kong. Even if he returned to Beijing, he wouldn't do such a thing for her.

Han Li didn't want to help people make introductions, only to have the people turn from gratitude to complaints, or even enemies, after a while.

Because the place where they had eaten and chatted was very close to where Han Li had parked his car, the two of them arrived at the car while they were talking.

At this point, Han Li was too lazy to say anything to Liu Xiaoqing. He gave her a few simple words of advice and got into the car and left before giving her another chance to speak.

Han Li just left like that?
Aren't you planning to take advantage of Liu Xiaoqing's time in Hong Kong to do something?
For example, to get a feel for the role she's playing now as the Empress Dowager, ask the other party to enhance the range of their spiritual power. Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, and 0.05 is still an increase.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

During their work in Hong Kong, Liu Xiaoqing and her colleagues had to follow orders and abide by the rules. They were not allowed to go out on their own or act alone, and even if someone wanted to throw themselves at them, they had no chance to do so.

Unless Han Li finds a reason to call Liu Xiaoqing out alone.

Unfortunately, Han Li wouldn't do that. The moment he called the people away, rumors would spread among them and eventually even reach the rest of the country.

Besides, someone like Liu Xiaoqing, who has been navigating the social world for so many years, would have no chance of success even if you brought her to the Peninsula Hotel, unless she was willing.

Therefore, Han Li wouldn't do something foolish like leaving room for gossip over something so uncertain.

After leaving, Han Li went straight home to study. Little did he know that Liu Xiaoqing and others would come knocking on his door again when the film was released in Hong Kong.

The next day, during his routine phone call, Han Li once again instructed Attorney Jin to increase his short selling of Jia Ning Group's stock.

Attorney Jin said that in the past two days, their short selling of Jia Ning Group's stock has attracted the rejection and participation of many full-time stock traders.

Attorney Jin said these people are suffering from "stock market sickness." Some of them originally had well-paying jobs, but in order to make money more easily in the stock market, most of them quit their original jobs and became full-time investors.

This is not an isolated case; in the small area of ​​Hong Kong, there are approximately 500,000 full-time stock traders.

Upon hearing this number, Han Li thought to himself, "No wonder there are so many people in Hong Kong who jump off buildings every year because of stock speculation. It turns out it's based on more than 500,000 people."

When Han Li called the real estate company, Lan Jieying answered the phone. She didn't say anything else, just asked him to inform the others.

Starting today, the acquisition prices of properties and real estate in Kowloon Island (North Island and New Territories) will be reduced by 40% to 60%, and the acquisition prices of industrial land will be reduced by 90%.

Property and real estate acquisition prices in Xiangjiang Nandao have been reduced by 40% to 60%. Further announcements are pending regarding when prices will rise.

Furthermore, the company will not sell the properties and assets it has already acquired for the time being, and the rental prices will remain unchanged.

Han Li's words completely stunned Lan Jieying, but she still subconsciously agreed.

After making the call, Han Li went to the Gao T Brothers Law Firm. There, he received all the documents from Anita Koch that originally belonged to Jia Ning Group but were now under his name, including those for the taxi company, five real estate properties, and the film production company. He then immediately gave Koch a large red envelope.

However, this matter is not over yet. The other two industries are easy to deal with and can be left as they are for the time being, but the taxi company has a lot of trivial matters.

Things like car radios, vehicle maintenance, tire changes, insurance, and so on—a whole host of trivial matters—if left unattended for a period of time, drivers will inevitably engage in all sorts of illegal operations.

The most annoying thing is that Han Li currently has no suitable candidates, meaning that a professional manager has not yet been appointed. He is too lazy to care about this situation and is even less willing to let these drivers know him.

Therefore, Han Li once again commissioned Anita Koch to investigate the taxi company's current management, operational structure, profitability, and revenue, and ultimately asked them to develop a feasible rectification plan based on the actual situation in Hong Kong.

This process will take approximately three to ten days, which will allow Han Li to find a professional manager to oversee the process as soon as possible.

After all these matters were settled, Anita Koch told Han Li about the progress made by the Hong Kong government and the news about Shaw Brothers cinemas.

The foreigners in the Hong Kong government are still pushing it, but a nephew of Shaw Brothers inadvertently revealed that the family cinema chain could be acquired for around HK$160 million.

Tomorrow is September 24th, the day the Iron Lady from England visits Beijing to begin the first talks between China and Britain on the Hong Kong issue.

Therefore, after Anita Koch finished telling him these two pieces of news, Han Li appeared more calm and indifferent than ever before.

Han Li instructed Anita Koch to expand the land area she acquired from the foreigners in Hong Kong, and to negotiate with Shaw Brothers for the acquisition of the cinema chain at a price even more outrageous than half the original price.

After leaving the High T Brothers Law Firm, Han Li was worried that Lan Jieying might not be able to explain herself clearly, so he drove to the Universal Realty Company in Knutsford Terrace.

When Han Li arrived, it happened to be the time when those housewives were gathered together chatting.

In Hong Kong, housewives are not necessarily gossipy, but most gossipy women are housewives.

So, the moment Han Li pushed open the door and came in, these housewives immediately looked over.

When Han Li called all the accountants, Kang Cuilan, Lan Jieying, and Ye Zimei, to the second floor for a meeting, these housewives' eyes sparkled with gossip as they began to chatter amongst themselves.

Because there were so many housewives downstairs, Han Li explained the situation and then went downstairs with them before leaving the real estate company.

After that, Han Li didn't go anywhere else; he went straight home to drink tea, read books, and study.

The next day, today is September 24th.

This special day has made many people in Hong Kong more tense than ever before.

These people, whether sitting in restaurants, teahouses, or Western restaurants, no longer possessed their usual composure and ease; they couldn't even concentrate on reading the newspapers in their hands.

Of course, these people are not all of them. Ordinary people in Hong Kong who eat at home, at roadside stalls, or in small eateries do not have this concern.

They still act as they always have to: after eating their fill, the most important thing is to get to work, start their jobs, earn money, and support their families.

In order to get firsthand information and see everyone's reaction, Han Li went to Xiangjiang University after breakfast.
