Chapter 441 The Battle between the Three Lis
As a wealthy family in Southeast Asia, the Lee family of Singapore is considered a legitimate wealthy family in Southeast Asia in the eyes of outsiders. After all, although Singapore is not large in area, it is located in a fortress. When outsiders mention the Lee family of Singapore, they still regard it as a legitimate wealthy family in Southeast Asia.

However, the Lee family has accumulated a huge fortune over the years in Singapore. For example, Temasek, the world's top investment institution, is controlled by people from the Lee family in Singapore.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation in Hong Kong, including banking, real estate, media, television, etc., are still controlled by different groups. But Singapore is different. The name of Leekathap is not for nothing.

It seems that the Li family is not as domineering as the wealthy families in Hong Kong, and the family wealth is not obvious, but the title of the number one Chinese family overseas is not gained in vain.
Through its dazzling array of equity controls, Temasek holds control over more than 500 companies in Singapore's banking, transportation, industry, agriculture, media, medical care, communications, aviation, ports and other fields.

Temasek has not yet experienced rapid expansion and is still somewhat unknown, but in its past life, Temasek bought the bottom of Nasdaq and invested in domestic companies, including the world's largest bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, in which Temasek holds a 2% stake, and 3% of the shares of China Construction Bank, which are also held by Temasek.

Just by looking at how much money these two banks make and how much dividends they distribute each year, one can imagine how much profit Temasek makes.

In Singapore, ever since the emergence of Temasek, it can be said bluntly that whoever controls Temasek controls the food, clothing, housing and transportation of Singaporeans. Singapore is Singapore, but it is even more so Temasek’s Singapore!

The apparent leader of Singapore may change, and after a few years, a leader other than Lee will emerge.

However, Temasek has always been in the hands of Singapore's Lee family, and their finances, revenues, executive salaries, etc. are not disclosed to the public. This means that the Lee family has absolute control over Temasek. Is there any question as to who is in control of Singapore?

But among the wealthy families, after two generations, the family wealth will become more and more accumulated, but there will also be symptoms unique to wealthy families, that is, internal strife. Any wealthy family will have this problem to a greater or lesser extent after the most authoritative and influential leader is gone. It is impossible for there to be no problems at all. This is human nature!
The same is true for the Lee family in Singapore. The previous generation of the Lee family is still alive. It seems that the father is kind, the son is filial, the brothers are humble and the younger brothers are respectful. But if they say that there is no problem at all, that would be nonsense.

Lee Hsien Yang took over as president of Singapore Telecommunications, but his elder brother joined the city government department and, if nothing unexpected happens, will become the next helmsman of Singapore.

The major shareholder of Singapore Telecommunications taken over by Lee Hsien Yang is still Temasek, and the head of Temasek is his brother's wife, which means he is his brother's younger brother.

Now that the strong man of the Lee family is still there, Li Xian Yang dare not show anything, but he is also holding back his anger in his heart. He wants to prove that he is no worse than his brother. As soon as he takes office as the president of Singapore Telecommunications, he is ready to do a big job and prove his strength to the whole of Singapore.

In his previous life, Lee Hsien Yang jumped out to make trouble for his brother at the critical moment of Singapore's general election. As a result, he and his wife were clearly arranged by his brother's combination of punches. After experiencing the methods used by his strong father, he never dared to speak out in the media again.

However, Li Xianyang, who has not yet been "taught" by his brother, still wants to prove himself.

Seeing Cyberport suddenly appear on TV, Li Xianyang was obviously a little angry. He immediately picked up the phone and called Brown, the president of Cable & Wireless and the major shareholder of Hong Kong City Telecom.

……

"President Li, Cable & Wireless still regards Singtel as its primary trading partner. The emergence of Cyberport will not change Cable & Wireless's decision!"

Inside the Dadong Telegraph Company, Brown spoke confidently to Li Xianyang on the other end of the phone, calming Li Xianyang down.

But after hanging up the phone, Brown couldn't help but burst into laughter. Now, Hong Kong City Telecom seemed to be "angry" and expressed dissatisfaction with the sneak attack by Cyberport.

But in fact, Brown didn't care about Cyberport's actions at all. Instead, he welcomed it somewhat!
With Cyberport's "sneak attack", there are now two companies that have clearly entered the market to compete with Hong Kong City Telecom.

One is Cyberport, which has Dongling Hi-Tech and Ning’s Trading Company behind it. It also has helpers such as Bank of China Hong Kong City Company and Peregrine, and there is also support from some departments such as Yanjing Post and Telecommunications.

On the other side is the telecommunications group owned by the first overseas Chinese family and the richest family in Southeast Asia.

The competition between these two companies for Hong Kong City Telecom is enough to cause a surge in the share price of Hong Kong City Telecom, and will also allow Dadong Telegraph to sell its controlling stake at a sky-high price!
Not to mention, Li Zekai, who comes from the Li family of Hong Kong Cheung Kong, also seems to be eager to take over Hong Kong Telecom.

The three Lis from Hanxi, Hong Kong City and Singapore are competing for Hong Kong City Telecom. Just by publishing this headline, Brown feels that the newspapers will be sold like crazy!

"Is there a celebration banquet being held at Cyberport right now?"

Brown asked his assistant, then said with a twinkle in his eyes, "Get the car ready. I'm going to visit the uninvited Queen of Asian Telecommunications!" When it comes to making trouble, it's the Hong Kong media. Just look at the titles given to those Hong Kong stars. Wang Jingwen took a photo with Sandy Lam, and their eyes didn't look right at each other. There was also a photo of Shu Qi and a female star named Yao, and the Hong Kong media titled it "The Two Demonic Carnivorous Plants". For every girlfriend of Aaron Kwok, the Hong Kong gossip media must have a title about how many hours of siege and massacre the city. As for the cosmic diaper blowing up the earth and the rich bus marrying into a rich family, those were the peak moments of Hong Kong media headlines.

When it comes to the wealthy families in Hong Kong, the media will be a little more restrained, because the celebrities may not spend time, energy and lawyers' fees to sue them, but the wealthy families will really sue.

It is even common for some wealthy people with bad tempers to ask Hong Kong's gangs for help, so the Hong Kong media is slightly more restrained when facing the wealthy families.

And when she is praised by the Hong Kong media, she is praised to the sky. For example, this time, Cyberport joined the board of directors of Hong Kong Telecom, and the Hong Kong media immediately crowned Ning Wenke as the Queen of Asian Telecoms and praised her to the sky!

……

"Ning Wen can become the Telecom Queen of Hong Kong City!"

"Cyberport is suspected to have received support from a mainland financial group, with over HK$10 billion invested in Hong Kong City Telecom!"

"To celebrate Ning Wen's admission to the board of directors of Hong Kong City Telecom, Cyberport spent millions to book the entire hotel..."

In a small room, the floor was littered with wine bottles. A man holding a bottle of wine was reading a newspaper, especially a newspaper with photos of Ning Wenke and Li Dongling. The man's eyes were full of anger.

"boom"

The man threw the wine bottle to the ground with a loud noise, and a burst of angry curses came from next door.

The man turned a deaf ear to the scolding and just stared at the two people in the newspaper. If someone familiar came in, he might recognize the bearded man as Zhao Shinan, the playboy who was once quite famous in Hong Kong.

But at this moment, Zhao Shinan no longer had the charm of the past. He was wearing smelly clothes and looked almost like a homeless man under the overpass.

Zhao Shinan has gone completely bankrupt. Banks, creditors, and tenants who are owed deposits are all looking for him. Now Zhao Shinan is almost like a rat crossing the street.

As for the Zhao family, the situation is not much better. Zhao Shinan's father is still lying in the hospital, and the Zhao family's property has long been divided up by the Zhao family members.

The group of people who used to be brothers with Zhao Shinan have long since scattered. Now he is living on the savings from selling luxury goods such as watches, and hiding from his creditors.

Looking at the words "Queen of Telecommunications" in the newspaper, Zhao Shinan took a big gulp of wine. His eyes were a little red, although he knew that Ning Wenke's title of Queen of Telecommunications was inseparable from Li Dongling.

But Zhao Shinan still couldn't help thinking, if, without what happened that day, he had succeeded in pursuing Ning Wenke, would everything of the Ning family, as well as the shares of Gangcheng Telecom, one of the two most valuable companies in Gangcheng, also fall into his hands? Would he be able to chat and laugh with the people from those wealthy families in Gangcheng?

Although it was just imagination, Zhao Shinan couldn't help trembling when he thought of that scene. But when he returned to reality, looking at the room full of wine bottles and garbage, as well as the faint stench on his body, Zhao Shinan hated Li Dongling in the newspaper even more.

Zhao Shinan stood up suddenly and wanted to find Li Dongling, but just after taking a step, he was tripped by the wine bottle. This made Zhao Shinan feel sore all over, but he also sobered up a little.

Sitting on the ground again, Zhao Shinan looked at his body hollowed out by alcohol and sex, and then thought of the bodyguards that Li Dongling brought with him when he came to Gangcheng. He felt that with his small body, going to seek revenge on Li Dongling would be no different from offering his life.

After thinking for a while, a fierce look appeared in Zhao Shinan's eyes. He felt that he could no longer stay in Gangcheng. The Zhao family had collapsed, and it was almost impossible for him to make a comeback.

Returning to Southeast Asia is better than staying in Hong Kong, but before leaving, Zhao Shinan felt that he would not be willing to run away without revenge.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shinan found a phone number, picked up the phone and called.
