1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 609 Kidnapping!

However, even after Li Changhe told Weiersi the reason, Weiersi was still very cautious.

"Vick, the automotive industry is a very asset-heavy industry. In this industry, it's not about how much money you spend on the purchase, the key is the subsequent operation."

"We don't have any talent in the automotive industry right now. If we rush in, I think the risk is huge."

"The automotive industry is not like these luxury goods, such as Cartier and Vacheron Constantin. To put it bluntly, even if they lose tens of millions of dollars every year, it is not a big deal for you."

"But cars are different. If they are not well managed, the annual losses of car companies will be astronomical. For you, it is very likely that they will slowly drag you down."

Weiss said to Li Changhe seriously.

For them, rashly entering a new field is actually a very risky challenge, especially since this industry is an asset-intensive industry.

Wells didn't say anything about Li Changhe buying luxury goods, but he had to remind him about entering the automotive industry.

Seeing this, Li Changhe smiled gently.

"Old Wei, we are family, so I won't tell you anything false. You know my origins."

"For any country, the automobile industry is an industry that must be developed. It is also an industry that cannot be avoided on their road to industrialization."

"So, I must get involved in the automotive industry."

"Of course, I won't intervene blindly, so I said, let's buy a Lamborghini for fun first."

"Lamborghinis are not expensive nowadays. I estimate that their market value is barely around 10 million US dollars. Even if we pay a little more, it will not exceed 20 million."

"We can first practice with Lamborghini, find the right management talents and designers from it, and then gradually make it compatible with the lower level."

"I will not rush to buy a car company in the UK right now. I will not do this until at least two or three years later."

"Now I just happened to find the opportunity of Lamborghini, so I bought it and tried it out first."

"Besides, it's impossible for me to be a hands-off manager forever. There are some businesses that I must take over personally."

“This Lamborghini, I want to try it myself!”

Li Changhe said to Wei Er Si seriously.

Although he was a hands-off boss in the real estate and clothing industries, it was because he knew that these two industries would grow steadily in the future.

There is no need to say much about Swire Properties. Given the housing prices in Hong Kong Island, even if Swire Properties does nothing now, it will be easy for its market value to exceed 100 billion in the future.

The same is true for the clothing industry. Since the 1980s, with the integration of the global economy, people's mindsets have begun to change, and the clothing market has begun to expand.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, the Warsaw Pact population of more than one billion emerged again, not to mention the Asian market which was a guaranteed future market.

As long as their operations were not too stupid, the clothing groups in the 1980s and 1990s would have grown big.

But this does not mean that Li Changhe does not want to exercise his corporate management skills at all.

In that case, for him, he will only hold shares in the future but will not have management capabilities, and his huge business empire may collapse before it even takes shape.

Before this, Li Changhe had been slowly building up his secretarial team and using the secretarial team to handle some matters first.

And now, Li Changhe suddenly felt that he could also give it a try on the Lamborghini.

After hearing what Li Changhe said, Weiers could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I'll go to Italy in a few days and take a look over there!"

"It just so happens that Bosak also has some factories over there, so I'll go check it out on the way."

Italy is an important producer of clothing raw materials in Europe. Its cashmere, wool, silk and other fabrics are among the best in the world. Bosak also has its own factory there.

"Well, I told you, this time just treat it as a vacation-like inspection. There's no rush. You can play and watch at the same time. I estimate that he should have found a buyer by now, or even a new boss."

"We can start by getting in touch slowly."

"I estimate that the supercar market will not be good in the next few years!"

Li Changhe said thoughtfully.

He didn't know the specific market situation of supercars, but he remembered that when he was looking up information in his previous life, he had an impression that in the 1980s, many supercar companies were actually in a miserable situation. Companies like Ferrari, Maserati, and even Aston Martin all went bankrupt and were sold.

The good times for supercars didn’t start until the 1990s.

After the 1990s, the number of rich people in the world began to increase dramatically. The prevalence of neoliberalism in Europe and the United States, coupled with the collapse of the Soviet Union, led to the emergence of a large number of wealthy groups around the world in a short period of time.

These wealthy groups have also boosted consumption in industries such as supercars and luxury goods, allowing these brands to revive and gradually enter their heyday.

"I see. I'll make some arrangements when I get back and see if I can find time to go to Italy!"

Although Weiers didn't know where Li Changhe's judgment came from, for now, Li Changhe's judgment was correct.

Thinking of this, Wells felt a little depressed.

These business elites have worked hard for decades and are very outstanding among ordinary people, but in front of some geniuses, they are really beaten to a pulp.

Fortunately, they are not on opposite sides.

Otherwise, thinking of Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong Island, and Li Ka-shing who was said to have recently been in conflict with Vic, Wells felt a sense of silence for them in his heart.

It would be a bad idea to choose a monster like this as your opponent.

"Then you take a rest first. I will go back and ask someone to collect some information."

Wells then stood up and walked out.

After Weiss left Li Changhe's room, two men in suits and ties at the stairs not far away withdrew their gazes silently.

"Wells has come out. Victor should be the only one left in the room now."

"Go tell Carlo that you can start now."

"it is good!"

One of them walked down the stairs quickly.

The other continued to stare there.

He had to prevent anyone from going in to look for Victor during this period. If something unexpected happened, he would have to remind Carlo to cancel the operation.

Fortunately, no one else went to Victor's room during this period of time.

Soon, the elevator opened, and a woman dressed as a waitress pushed a dining cart over one meter high and slowly walked towards Li Changhe's room.

Along the way, Carlo did not see any reminders from his subordinates, so he knew that the plan had not changed. Therefore, he walked towards Li Changhe's room with a calm face.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the room and Carlo gently rang the doorbell.

"Who?"

In the room, Li Changhe, who was about to change clothes, heard the doorbell and asked curiously.

"Hello, sir, it's the hotel waiter delivering the food!"

A gentle reply came from the other side of the door, and it sounded like that of a young girl.

Li Changhe frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Meal delivery?"

When he reached the door, Li Changhe opened it a crack.

"I didn't order the food to be delivered, who did?"

"Sir, no one ordered it because you are the most distinguished guest of the hotel. This is our new service. We will deliver the hotel's new products to your room on time every night."

"Of course, we won't disturb your rest if you don't need it." Carlo said softly to Li Changhe with a professional smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Li Changhe revealed a playful smile.

“Is it given away for free?”

"Yes, this is a new service we launched. It is still in the trial stage and is only for the hotel's highest-end guests."

Carlo responded patiently.

"Then come in!"

Li Changhe stepped aside and opened the door.

Carlo pushed the food cart and walked inside with a smile on his face.

It succeeded immediately.

Once we get into the living room, you can attack him.

But at this moment, Carlo did not notice that Li Changhe, who was leaning against the wall, had a sarcastic smile on his face.

Today, he encountered the same plot that was so badly filmed in TV dramas and movies in his previous life.

Looking at Carlo pushing the food cart towards him, Li Changhe attacked him from behind without hesitation.

He slashed at Carlo's neck with his palm.

Since Carlo entered the house, his body has been in a state of alert, ready to take action at any time.

What confused her was that the other party attacked before she even made a move.

And judging from the noise behind him, the other party is proficient in fighting?
At this moment, Carol didn't know where she was exposed, but her body reaction, which had been trained for a long time, still made her turn around, look back, prepare to avoid Li Changhe's attack and then draw her gun.

In fact, she could also pull out a gun and threaten Li Changhe at the door, but Carlo did not do so when she made her plan.

Because of the hotel's door problem, the doors and the glass inside the top suites in this hotel are bulletproof, which is a protection for customers.

If Victor was threatened with a gun at the door, if he reacted quickly, he could close the door or use the door to protect himself.

And Carol didn't intend to shoot Victor in the head, so she chose a safe approach and went into the house to attack Victor.

Unexpectedly, the other party saw through her plan at a glance and took action against her first.

Carlo was very skilled. Li Changhe's attack was a sneak attack from behind and it was unexpected. It was difficult for most people to dodge it, but Carlo relied on his slender body to twist it at an exaggerated angle.

But he just dodged Li Changhe's palm knife. Li Changhe relied on more than just this palm knife.

At this moment, Li Changhe had changed his moves from slashing to sweeping. His forearm hit Carlo's body and then knocked her body backwards.

The moment their bodies collided, Carlo's expression changed.

How can he be so strong?

Her skills may be very strong, but women are naturally weak in strength, and she cannot compare with a freak like Li Changhe.

boom!
Li Changhe pushed Carlo's body against the wall, and the next moment, his head lowered down.

Li Changhe did not show any mercy to Carlo just because she was a woman. His back of the head hit the wall, knocking her unconscious.

Li Changhe then grabbed Carlo's collar with one hand and pulled her into the living room, while his hands searched her body.

Sure enough, there was a gun!
After pulling off the towel on the dining cart, tying up the woman and stuffing a piece of food into her mouth, Li Changhe walked aside, picked up the phone and called the front desk.

"Hello, I want to order food, do you have anything to eat now?"

Li Changhe asked calmly after dialing the front desk.

Although he had found the gun, he still wanted to confirm it.

When Li Changhe heard the front desk asking what he wanted to eat, he smiled.

"Let me think about it and call you back later."

After hanging up the phone, Li Changhe picked up the phone on the table again and called Ah Hu and the others' room.

"Ah Hu, I want to eat fish. Let's go down and buy some fish!"

When Ah Hu heard the signal from his boss on the phone, his face changed.

This is the secret code they agreed upon with their boss.

When the boss says he wants to eat fish, it means he encountered trouble but solved it.

At this time, what Ah Hu and the others have to do is to cooperate with Li Changhe in all aspects.

Asking him to go down and buy fish means that the other party may have accomplices, so let him go and catch them.

"Ding, take your men down immediately by elevator, and then check the escape routes and staircases from bottom to top, floor by floor."

"We have this entire floor covered this time, so if someone wants to attack the boss, the location is most likely on the upper or lower floors."

"There are also the hotel's underground garage and main gate. Send Team A down. The other party must have accomplices in attacking the boss. Block all entrances and exits and then investigate."

Before they came, there were many pre-prepared safety plans. Now after hearing Li Changhe's instructions, Ah Hu only needed to execute them quickly.

Afterwards, the two men gave instructions to other team members over the phone, and several of them walked out in twos and threes.

At this moment, the man at the stairs was not surprised, because this floor was full of people from Victor's company, and it was normal for some people to come in and out.

He was just wondering now, Carlo went in and hasn't come out yet?
Is it possible that with Carlo's skills, he can't take down that rich man?
In the room, a basin of cold water was poured on Carlo's face, and Carlo gradually woke up from his dizziness.

"woohoo"

Carlo opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Changhe, but could only make a humming sound.

Because her mouth was tied with a silk ribbon at the moment, to prevent her from biting herself with poison. Li Changhe didn't know if there was such a thing, but it didn't stop him from taking precautions.

In addition, Carlo's whole body was tied up tightly.

"Tell me, where is your accomplice?"

Li Changhe sat on the sofa, looking at the woman in front of him with a broadsword and asked casually.

He was too lazy to ask boring questions like who sent them. He had to find out their accomplices first.

Carlo seemed to be aware of his situation and suddenly became calm and silent.

"I can guess even if you don't say anything."

"This entire floor is my room. You delivered the meal right after someone left, which means one of you is watching my room. It's impossible to be in the hallway, so it's most likely the corridor."

"You're using such a big food cart. I guess you're going to transport it away after you do something to me. This thing is too conspicuous, and the chances of you leaving in a big way are slim. You're not real waiters, so for the sake of convenience, your hideout should be either on the upper floor or the lower floor."

"Am i right?"

Li Changhe spoke in French with an expressionless face, and at this moment, Carlo, even though he had been trained, could not help but be shocked.

What's this guy's brain?
"From your expression, it seems that I am right. If nothing unexpected happens, the person who is following you must still be here."

"Perhaps, we can wait for a while and see if there are any fish that slip through the net?"

After Li Changhe finished speaking, he stopped talking and started playing with the small and exquisite pistol he had searched from Carlo.

At the same time, he began to think in his mind.

Who is going to attack him?
