Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 636 Revenge

"Sir, you've asked me ten thousand times and I still don't know. I've already told you that I don't know those people at all. They were just improvised."

"Let's take what you said as true. Who is your employer? Someone will always contact you!"

"I was with him. He was the one contacted by the employer. You guys asked him."

One day later, in the ward, the gangster Lao Si who had been rescued was lying weakly on the hospital bed. Facing the questions from Azu and other sirs, he turned his head slightly and looked at the gangster Lao San who was as motionless as a log in the bed next door. There was a trace of sadness in his eyes, but his face showed a carefree expression.

The doctor said that the third child lost too much blood for too long, and his body functions were severely damaged, and he would probably never wake up again.

In short, he became a vegetative state.

"Don't be stubborn. You illegally possess firearms, break into other people's homes, imprison and kidnap others, and are punished for multiple crimes. It's enough for you to stay there for twenty or thirty years! Now is your chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious deeds!"

The fourth child looked at the snow-white ceiling and smiled. He felt a sense of sadness in his heart, but he couldn't show it and give these gangsters an opportunity.

squeak~

The wooden door of the ward with a viewing window was pushed open. Li Jiankun used three points of reasoning and seven points of momentum to make the young sir guarding the door step aside.

Azu and several other sirs in the room turned their heads and looked in. After seeing the person clearly, they hesitated to speak and finally said nothing.

"As a victim, I can plead with the judge to give you the lightest sentence possible and send your family to a safe place and give them a substantial living allowance."

Li Jiankun slowly walked to the hospital bed next to the window sill, stared at the gangster Lao Si on the hospital bed, and said word by word: "I don't need you to betray your brother, as long as you prove it, you were the one who forced me with a gun that night. Signed that agreement.”

Several sirs looked at each other, but finally Azu took a few steps closer and whispered to Li Jiankun: "This is inappropriate."

Li Jiankun ignored him and stared at the fourth gangster without blinking. The latter also looked at him, with a fierce struggle in his eyes. After a long time, the fourth child grinned: "What are you talking about?"

Li Jiankun felt sad. The back-up plan set by Hebrews was more perfect than imagined, or more vicious. At the same time, he also underestimated the camaraderie between these gangsters.

There is a high probability that if the fourth gangster turns against him, the lives of all seven of their family members will be in danger.

The Schweizer family is capable of doing this. When they were selling "pig" from the Mainland to North America, they would often have thousands of people on a boat, and 30 to 40 percent of them would be dead when they arrived at the destination. They would all be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Sometimes, All ships were destroyed. And in the face of huge benefits, they are still happy to do it——

A "pig" can be bought for only a dozen dollars in mainland China and sold to plantations and mines in North America, where it can be worth up to a thousand dollars.

Li Jiankun could probably guess the fourth child's psychology through his micro-expressions:

Needless to say, he was the only one who suffered. He and the family members of the third child next to him who has become a vegetative state will have someone to take care of them, and the money they deserve will not be less. They will even be better cared for and get more money than they imagined, because he is like holding Eber in his hand. Here comes the handle.

He said that even if his family could escape temporarily with his own help, his gangster brothers and their families might not be spared.

He had to stay in prison anyway, but it was just a matter of the length of time. After comprehensive consideration, he chose to stay in prison for a few more years.

The last opportunity was shattered.

Seeing Li Jiankun walking towards the door without saying a word, Azu stepped forward and stopped him and said, "You don't have to be too hasty. We already know this guy's identity and are urgently investigating his interpersonal relationships. We have the information you provided about the gangster's figure." I believe there will be results soon."

The words of comfort are good, but Li Jiankun doesn't have high hopes.

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together," and since the fourth gangster has this kind of personality, the other gangsters are probably pretty much the same.

So what if I catch it?

In order to ensure the safety of their families, they will most likely make the same choice as the gangster Lao Si.

Li Jiankun continued to pace and closed the door with a bang. Anyone could see an uncontrollable anger leaping around him. There were only two words in his mind now -

revenge!

I have never had a gun put to my head in my two lives, and I have never suffered such a huge financial loss.

Someone has to pay for all this!

He said that there is no need for Taikoo to exist. He will deliver on his promises. At least in Hong Kong City.

Swire is a global financial consortium headquartered in London. The ancestors of the Swire family, who were down in business in small business more than a hundred years ago, did not hesitate to cross the ocean and come to the mainland, relying on the then powerful Empire and the decadent Qing government. The unequal treaties signed started in the shipping industry and developed step by step.

The war in the mainland during that period and the mud bombardment of the port city in the 1940s dealt them a heavy blow.

Otherwise, based on the speed at which this family made 150 million pounds a year in the mainland in the late Qing Dynasty, it is estimated that it is now a world-class consortium.

After the end of World War II, Taikoo made a comeback and invested in the Eagle Country, Great Britain, and Australia. However, the Schweizer family was particularly good at making money from Chinese people, and their business focus was still in Hong Kong. Of course, if history does not change in the future, they will return to the mainland.

Names and places such as Taikoo Shing, Taikoo Hui and Taikoo Li will be familiar to future generations of Chinese people.

Swire's industry in Hong Kong can undoubtedly be called a group, involving multiple fields such as shipping, aviation, real estate, sugar, finance, trade and beverage bottling. All the Swire family's businesses in Hong Kong are held by one company - —

Swire & Co. Ltd. The number of Hong Kong stocks is very high. It is the target of Li Jiankun's revenge!

He would not use illegal means to do anything to the Hebrews, including Charles, who was very likely to be involved. Firstly, it was an inferior means, and destroying the enemy would also bring bad luck. Secondly, it was not enough to calm his anger. .

He believed that when he brought down Taikoo & Co., there were people who would be willing to settle the scores between him and the Hebrews.

However, Li Jiankun also understood that with the size of Taigu Yangxing, if he wanted to defeat it in a short time, his current strength alone would not be enough - unless he was given time to plan slowly, but the uncontrollable anger in his heart made him Don't want to wait any longer.

He needs allies.

A very powerful one.

Li Jiankun didn't want to bring his anger to other people's homes, so he called Dong Haoyun and made an appointment to meet at the Oriental Land Building in Central.

In the quiet tea room, all the bodyguards and staff retreated, and only Dong Haoyun and Li Jiankun were sitting at the large mahogany tea table.

The former had learned what happened at No. 31 Bo Lao Road the night before. He was shocked and angry. At the same time, he did not forget to express his concern for Li Jiankun - although he had expressed it on the phone before.

Li Jiankun waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He didn't exchange too many greetings and went straight to the point and made his purpose clear.

Dong Haoyun's eyes lit up at first - whether he should say it or not, he had always had this idea: to win one of the four major foreign banks!

The Bao family, also one of Hong Kong's top Chinese-owned wealthy families, successfully acquired Wharf in the past two years. Jardine's largest assets in Hong Kong are "Wharf" and "Hong Kong City Land", and the former is better. It is equivalent to saying that the Bao family has taken over half of Yihe.

Another rising star, the Li family, a top wealthy family, has also purchased Hutchison Whampoa.

Dong Haoyun considered himself to be on an equal footing with Bao Yugang. It felt bad to not have a share of such a great achievement, and even to be robbed of the limelight by a junior.

Just for a moment, this old shipping king who had changed his life against fate and survived until now subconsciously frowned and said: "It's not easy to deal with Taikoo! To be honest, the remaining two of the four major foreign companies, Wheelock has more hope. But Swire has provoked you again, and this matter..."

Although Li Jiankun knew something about Taikoo & Co., he was definitely not as knowledgeable as this old shipping king who had many connections in the port city, so he humbly asked for advice.

"The first is strong capital."

Dong Haoyun raised a finger and said: "No one knows how much money Taikoo has. You should also know that the Shihuai Ya family began to accumulate wealth more than a hundred years ago. When they were engaged in shipping in the mainland, even Li Hongzhang's "Ship Investment Promotion" They were unable to withstand the situation, and Yihe, who had entered the mainland earlier than them, was also defeated. At that time, the family earned a huge fortune.

“The second is business conditions.

"Swire is different from the other three foreign companies. After 49, they had many negotiations with the mainland in order to get back the mainland industry. They seemed to see something from it and were confident in the development of the mainland. No matter how they invest around the world, the Swire family's business focus has always been In Hong Kong City, and trying to return to the mainland, Swire & Co.'s business conditions are quite good.

"Unlike the other three foreign banks, in the final analysis, Pao Yugang and Li Jiacheng were able to win Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa respectively because these two foreign banks were negative about the development of the Hong Kong city and the mainland, including Wheelock. He began to think of withdrawing from the port city and transferring his assets back to Eagle Country.

“The third political connection.

"The Schweizer family is very good at making connections. From a certain point of view, they have a big structure and often distribute some benefits. I don't know exactly how far their family's relationship has reached, but what is certain is that, Very hard!”

Li Jiankun also knew something about the Shi Huaiya family's ability to win over people's hearts.

For example, Cathay Pacific Airways, which was criticized by everyone in later generations but is still running vigorously. In the late 80s, after the Swire family took over "Hong Kong City Airlines" to dominate the Hong Kong city's aviation industry, Swire made a very spectacular move.

In one fell swoop, three Chinese-owned state-owned enterprises, namely CITIC, AVIC and Xingye, were attracted to join the partnership.

Of course, they are only given shares and dividends, but not management rights.

Li Jiankun pondered in his heart, he was rich, powerful, and managed well, so it was indeed a tough nut to crack. It’s no wonder that in the 80s, there was a strong rise of Chinese capital in the Hong Kong city. Hutchison Whampoa, Jardines and Wheelock lost their cities one after another. Only Taikoo survived and became stronger.

However, even if it is a piece of meteorite, Li Jiankun still wants to bite this time!

Now is actually an opportunity. The financial turmoil is sweeping across. Swire & Co.'s so-called good operation is only a relative term. At the same time, the Swire family has only a short time to make a comeback after World War II, and it took many years to lay the foundation.

If we don't take the opportunity now to overthrow this family that has grown up by devouring the flesh and blood of the Chinese people, it will be even harder to have a chance in the future - they will become richer and more powerful, their thinking will become more clear-minded, and they will win over them. There will be more and more Chinese capital on the carriage.

"Mr. Dong, I have an idea and I need your help organizing it..."

From this point of view, the Dong family alone is not enough.

He needs more powerful allies!
