Hong Kong General: Undercover and Liansheng, from 49 to leader

Chapter 288 [288] Li Huanggua is in despair. Will the foreign-loving dog bite back at the foreigner when he gets anxious?

Taiping Mountain.

"Mr. Li, you..."

Wang Zhongying wanted to be angry, but facing the smiling Lu Yaowen, his anger was extinguished as soon as it surged up in his heart. He could only try to vent his anger on Li Jingtian.

However, before Wang Zhongying could finish his words, he was interrupted: "Mr. Wang, I think you must have a lot to say to Mr. Lu, so I won't disturb you."

After saying that, Li Jingtian turned around and left.

"Mr. Wang, please sit down."

Lu Yaowen sat back on the sofa, patted it and said with a smile.

"..."

Wang Zhongying had no choice but to carefully sit in the place farthest away from Lu Yaowen.

"Mr. Wang, I don't like to talk nonsense. I will give you 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and you transfer your shares of Shimao Real Estate to me."

Lu Yaowen went straight to the point.

"Lu Yaowen, even at the current share price, my shares in Shimao Properties can be sold for at least 4 billion Hong Kong dollars."

Wang Zhongying's anger at Lu Yaowen's "open robbery" overwhelmed his fear of Lu Yaowen.

"You are right. The shares of Shimao Real Estate you hold can indeed be sold for 4 billion Hong Kong dollars. However, your eldest son owes 380 million Hong Kong dollars in the casino, and your third son borrowed 700 million Hong Kong dollars from Huo's Bank for his business..."

After some calculations, Lu Yaowen found that Wang Zhongying's three sons and three grandsons owed a total of more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

"..."

After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, Wang Zhongying fell silent.

After saying this, it was equivalent to Lu Yaowen making it clear to him that he, Lu Yaowen, was going to deal with the Wang family and had already made preparations.

Now, except for Wang Zhongying, everyone else in the Wang family has been dragged down by Lu Yaowen.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongying clenched his fist tightly, lowered his head and sighed: "Give me 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and I will give you the shares of Shimao Real Estate."

"Mr. Wang, you still don't understand. HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank have lowered the credit rating of Shimao Real Estate. Unless Shimao Real Estate can repay all its loans, its stock price will only continue to fall."

"From yesterday to today, the shares of Shimao Real Estate have fallen by 30%. Now they are less than 5 Hong Kong dollars per share. If you delay for a few more days, all the shares of Shimao Real Estate in your hands may not be worth 2 billion Hong Kong dollars."

"By then, your Wang family will be insolvent..."

Although Lu Yaowen didn't finish his words, Wang Zhongying had completely understood what Lu Yaowen meant.

"I……"

Before Wang Zhongying finished speaking, Lu Yaowen interrupted him: “Mr. Wang, I’m not here to bargain with you. Don’t challenge my patience.”

"..."

Wang Zhongying really wanted to be tough and say "no" to Lu Yaowen, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.

He knew that he could choose to sell Shimao Properties shares to Li Huanggua and Li Zhaoji for three or four billion Hong Kong dollars, and they would definitely take over immediately.

But his sons and grandsons are all in Lu Yaowen's hands. Even if he sells shares for three or four billion, what's the use? If Lu Yaowen teases his sons and grandsons again, they will soon lose hundreds of millions or even billions.

Even if Wang Zhongying sold the shares of Shimao Properties for 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, he could not afford such a defeat.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongying looked at Lu Yaowen and said slowly: "Mr. Lu, I promise you, but I hope my son and grandson will not be harassed by you again in the future."

"Hahaha, Mr. Wang, I've already made arrangements for your Wang family. Have you heard of Chiang Rai in Siam? It has beautiful scenery and the air quality is very good, which is especially suitable for elderly people like you to live in."

"The prices and labor there are cheap. You only need to pay a servant one thousand Hong Kong dollars a month. I have prepared a large manor for you. When you get there, you can hire dozens of servants to serve you. You will definitely live like an emperor."

Lu Yaowen had a sincere smile on his face.

"..."

Wang Zhongying remained silent for a long time, but finally nodded slowly: "Okay!"

"Li Laosan, where is the lawyer?"

Lu Yaowen shouted.

"It has been prepared for a long time."

Li Jingtian, who had "disappeared" for more than ten minutes, appeared in front of Wang Zhongying again.

Wang Zhongying sighed inwardly as he looked at the head of the Li family, one of the 'Four Major Families' in Hong Kong, who was so 'fawning' on Lu Yaowen.

He knew that in this round, not only would their Wang family lose miserably, but Li Huanggua and Li Zhaoji would also lose miserably.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongying felt much more comfortable. After all, Li Huanggua and Li Zhaoji were much stronger than their Wang family, but they still couldn't defeat Lu Yaowen, right?

Soon, Wang Zhongying signed a share transfer agreement and transferred all of his shares in Shimao Real Estate to Lu Yaowen.

"Mr. Wang, there will be a ship to Siam this afternoon. Then your whole family can go to Siam to enjoy themselves."

After getting the agreement, Lu Yaowen said with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Lu."

Wang Zhongying said these words with great frustration.

It was obvious that the Wang family's assets were "seized by force" by Lu Yaowen, but he still had to force a smile and say thank you to Lu Yaowen. This feeling was more painful than killing him.

……

On the other side, the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa.

Although the stock of Shimao Properties was on the verge of collapse and this fifth-ranked real estate company in Hong Kong Island would soon be acquired by itself, there was no trace of joy on Li Huanggua's face.

"Master, two policemen came to inquire about the situation just now, but I sent them away."

The butler walked up to Li Huanggua and reported in a low voice.

In other words, it was because Li Huanggua had a good relationship with HSBC that he was able to obtain 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars without alerting the police.

However, Zhuo Ziqiang's taking away of 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars still caused quite a stir and attracted the attention of the police force.

"Ah."

Li Huanggua said "hmm" softly, and then continued to ask: "Is there still no news about Ah Kai?"

After Li Ju was kidnapped yesterday, Li Huanggua asked someone to contact Li Kai, but it turned out that his youngest son seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and could not be contacted at all.

This immediately gave Li Huanggua a bad feeling, so he asked the butler to investigate Zhuo Ziqiang's background. He only breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that Zhuo Ziqiang had nothing to do with Lu Yaowen.

"We still can't contact the young master."

The butler replied immediately.

"Hey!"

Li Huanggua sighed lightly, then waved his hand, indicating that the butler could leave.

He has only two sons. One has been kidnapped and has not been released yet, and the whereabouts of the other is unknown. This makes him completely uninterested in acquiring Shimao Real Estate.

‘Ring ring ring~’

At this time, a phone rang.

"Who?"

Li Huanggua suddenly grabbed the microphone and asked.

"Mr. Li, it's me."

Li Zhaoji's voice came from the receiver.

"Is something wrong?"

Li Huanggua lost interest instantly.

"The share price of Shimao Real Estate has fallen below three yuan per share. We can start to spread the word."

Li Zhaoji is different from Li Huanggua. He is now full of energy and is determined to take over Shimao Real Estate.

"Okay, you arrange it. If you need anything, I'll ask Ma Shimin to cooperate with you."

After saying this, Li Huanggua hung up the phone. He was no longer interested in chatting with Li Zhaoji about these topics.

"Beep, beep, beep~"

On the other end of the phone, listening to the busy tone coming from the receiver, Li Zhaoji was a little confused and muttered to himself: "What the hell is this Li Huanggua doing? It seems that he has no interest in swallowing up Shimao Real Estate..."

……

At the same time, in Stanley Military Camp, in a basement.

"Mr. Moore, there is news from my ancestors that Viscount Henry is a man of the Marquis of Bath. The Marquis of Bath saw his talent in prospecting and sent him to the Far East to prospect for gold in Papua for the Marquis and to help him run his business in the Far East."

Field walked quickly to Moore and whispered.

The Marquis of Bath is one of the great nobles of the Eagle Country. The Razor Party is worthy of being a society that has been active in the Eagle Country for decades and is able to find such a great noble to endorse Henry.

Of course, the most important thing is the two million pounds that Lu Yaowen paid for it.

"okay, I get it."

Moore nodded slightly.

After a moment's silence, Moore continued, "Johnny was previously in charge of placing insiders in major social organizations on Hong Kong Island. This time, let him be your deputy in the operation against the Northern Ireland independence forces."

"Field, comfort the viscount's son-in-law, but don't relax your surveillance on him. To help the Marquis of Bath run his business in the Far East, he does need to build a network of relationships in Hong Kong Island, but it's too coincidental that he has a relationship with someone from the Political Department..."

Before Moore finished speaking, Field interrupted him: "Mr. Moore, I know this. There are no coincidences in the spy business."

"Field, you are a smart young man. I believe you will know clearly what to do next."

Moore waved his hand, signaling Field to leave.

"The Marquis of Bath's Far East agent..."

After Field left, Moore whispered to himself.

Ten minutes later.

Located in a secret room in Stanley Barracks.

'Zhiqua~'

The sound of the door opening made Johnny, who was dozing with his eyes closed, open his eyes, and then he saw the young foreigner who had interrogated him a few days ago.

"Superintendent Johnny, you have passed the assessment and can participate in special operations. Let me introduce myself. My name is Field."

Field looked at Johnny, who looked a little haggard, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Is it an assessment or a suspicion?"

Although Johnny's face was haggard, his eyes were very bright.

After hearing what Field said, he immediately knew that Lu Yaowen had laid the foundation for him and Henry, temporarily alleviating the suspicion of the Eagle people towards them.

"Of course it's an assessment."

Field looked normal.

He knew very well what Moore meant. This operation was still a test for Johnny. After the operation was over, MI6 would conduct a final assessment on Henry and Johnny to confirm that there was indeed no problem with them before they would be truly relieved about them.

"What action?"

Johnny didn't believe a word of Field's answer.

"Northern Ireland Independence Forces..."

"Now I need your help to find out the situation of Mingxin Hospital..."

Field said slowly.

"clear."

Johnny nodded in response.

"Johnny, we don't have much time. I can only give you three days at most. After three days, I need you to give me accurate intelligence."

Field continued.

This time, Johnny didn't say anything else, but just nodded slowly.

……

That night, at the InterContinental Hotel Hong Kong.

"Mr. Lei, Mr. Bao, Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zeng, Mr. An."

Lu Yaowen was very polite and greeted Lei Yingdong, Bao Yuguang and other five people one by one.

"Mr. Lu!"...

Lei Yingdong, Bao Yuguang and others were also very polite, and no one treated Lu Yaowen as a junior.

"Thank you all for giving me, Lu Yaowen, face by taking the time to attend the banquet..."

Seeing that Lu Yaowen was still being polite, Lei Yingdong interrupted him directly: "Okay, Ah Wen, everyone here is family, so don't be so polite. Just say what you want to say."

"Hahaha, since Mr. Lei said so, I'll just say it straight."

Lu Yaowen laughed and continued, "Some time ago, I proposed a plan to develop the New Territories North..."

Lu Yaowen detailed his plan to open factories and schools in the northern New Territories and build roads, low-rent housing and other public facilities.

After this period of improvement, Lu Yaowen's plan was more complete than the one he and Lei Ming had discussed at the beginning.

In this plan, Lu Yaowen intends to build a highway directly connecting to the Special Administrative Region, simplifying all entry and exit procedures, which can greatly enhance the connection between the Special Administrative Region and the Northern New Territories.

Lu Yaowen even wanted to build a railway and airport connecting to the Special Administrative Region, directly slapping the British in the face and letting everyone in Hong Kong know that the British were just farting by reclaiming land to build an airport.

"This plan has been approved by senior management."

Yesterday, Lu Yaowen received a call from Lei Ming, who told him that the top management had approved Lu Yaowen's development plan and asked if Lu Yaowen needed any help.

The help Lu Yaowen needs most is naturally from infrastructure workers, who have low wages, are hardworking, and can build quickly. If the construction team from the mainland can be responsible for the construction of houses, schools, and public facilities in the northern New Territories, the speed will be at least twice that of the construction team on Hong Kong Island.

However, Lu Yaowen also knew that the Eagles would definitely find ways to prevent the mainland construction teams from coming to Hong Kong Island, so he had to think of some "clever tricks".

Of course, this is also a fallback plan. If we want to truly develop the Northern New Territories on a large scale, we must first allow indigenous village chiefs such as Lu Hantao to take over the New Territories Heung Yee Kuk. Only then can we cooperate with Lu Yaowen in policy on the development of the Northern New Territories.

"..." After listening to Lu Yaowen's words, a hint of thought flashed in the eyes of Lei Yingdong, Bao Yuguang and others.

The five executive directors of the Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce all ran real estate businesses, especially Lei Yingdong and Bao Yuguang.

Bao Yugang made a fortune by building the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel and developing the Wharf site, while Lei Yingdong was also running the Nanhai District. They were very clear about how much economic and political value would be generated if the Northern New Territories could be successfully developed.

By then, the Northern New Territories will be connected with the Special Administrative Region, and we will be in each other and even if our bones are broken, our tendons will still be connected.

"Awen, what do you want us to do?"

After thinking for more than ten seconds, Lei Yingdong asked the question first.

Bao Yuguang and others also looked at Lu Yaowen, waiting for his answer.

"Gentlemen, it is impossible for me, Lu Yaowen, to develop such a large area in the New Territories North by myself. I hope that everyone can work together to develop the New Territories North."

"I have already negotiated with Ms. Judy Tong of Shimao Real Estate. Shimao Real Estate will be solely responsible for the opening of the New Territories North and will also sell 49% of its shares to you, with an estimated value of HK$150 billion."

"Mr. He Xian and Mr. He Xin have subscribed to shares worth HK$5 billion each."

Lu Yaowen said with a smile.

Shimao Properties now owes a total of HK$33.9 billion to HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and other banks. According to the valuation given by Lu Yaowen, 49% of Shimao Properties' shares can be sold for HK$73.5 billion, which is more than enough to replace these debts.

However, Lu Yaowen sold his shares in Shimao Properties not just to cash out, but to hook these bigwigs on the big ship of developing the New Territories North and develop the New Territories North region better and faster.

If Lei Yingdong comes to invest in the New Territories North, will he build a sand washing plant in the New Territories North? Will his company build a branch in the New Territories North?

The same goes for Bao Yuguang and others.

He Xian and He Xin are coming to invest in the New Territories North. Will the branch of Hao Kong International Bank in Hong Kong Island come to the New Territories North? He Xin can also build a hotel in the New Territories North.

Only with the joint efforts of so many wealthy tycoons can the North New Territories develop rapidly. Otherwise, it would take at least ten years for Lu Yaowen alone to see initial results.

"..."

After Lu Yaowen finished speaking, Lei Yingdong, Bao Yuguang and others fell into deep thought again.

This time, it was Zhuang Shiping who spoke first: "Awen, I subscribe to 10 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of shares."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuang."

Lu Yaowen immediately thanked Zhuang Shiping.

Lu Yaowen has great respect for this gentleman.

Donating hundreds of billions of assets directly to the country has even gone beyond the scope of being a patriot.

"We are all comrades, there is no need to be so polite. As long as you are truly doing good for Hong Kong Island and the country, I will fully support you."

Zhuang Shiping said slowly.

"I subscribe for 5 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of shares."

After Zhuang Shiping finished speaking, Lei Yingdong also spoke.

Next, Bao Yuguang and three others also pledged 4 billion, 3.5 billion and 3 billion shares respectively.

"We five old guys completely trust you, but other people in the Chamber of Commerce will definitely have concerns of one kind or another. You must first resolve the crisis that Shimao Real Estate is facing before you can successfully sell the shares."

Zhuang Shiping gave his advice.

"Don't worry, gentlemen. In two days at most, Shimao Real Estate will be out of the current crisis. After the New Territories Heung Yee Kuk election is over in a week, we can officially start the construction of the New Territories North area."

Lu Yaowen said with a smile.

In the following time, Lu Yaowen explained his plan in the northern New Territories in detail to Lei Yingdong, Bao Yuguang and others, and all five of them were very satisfied.

They also became more and more satisfied with Lu Yaowen.

Originally, based on the agreement reached between Lu Yaowen and the Eagles, as well as the support of the mainland for Lu Yaowen, he could have "eaten alone" and independently developed the northern New Territories.

Although the development speed will be slower, Lu Yaowen can reap the benefits alone. Now, for the sake of the overall situation, he has taken the initiative to give out half of the benefits. This approach has deeply moved Zhuang Shiping, Lei Yingdong and others.

……

By the time Lu Yaowen and others had made their "host and guests happy", it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Lu Yaowen personally sent Zhuang Shiping, Lei Yingdong and others to their cars before getting into his own Mercedes-Benz.

"Go to Shanghai Street."

Lu Yaowen said slowly.

Ten minutes later, in the basement of a detached house on Shanghai Street.

"Brother Wen."

Johnny, who had been waiting in the room for a long time, immediately stood up and greeted Lu Yaowen after seeing him come in.

"Johnny, you've suffered a lot these past few days."

Lu Yaowen first gave Johnny a wave of "emotional value".

"It's not that much suffering, but it's a bit lonely being alone in a room."

Johnny replied with a smile, and then thanked Lu Yaowen solemnly: "Brother Wen, thank you for sending Sarah out of Hong Kong Island."

"Sarah will be in Siam for a month or so. She will be absolutely safe there."

Lu Yaowen understood Johnny's 'implication' and continued, "Johnny, you helped me do such a dangerous thing, I should be the one to say thank you."

"Haha, Brother Wen, let's not thank each other anymore. Just tell me what I should do next."

Johnny said with a smile.

"Johnny, I spent a lot of money to hire a big shot to endorse Henry in Eagle Country, but this kind of fake thing can only be concealed for a while. We must deal with the people from MI6 and the Special Branch as soon as possible and completely destroy the organizational structure of the Special Branch in Hong Kong Island."

"Only then can you and Sarah be truly safe."

Lu Yaowen said slowly.

"Ah."

Johnny nodded slightly, then continued to look at Lu Yaowen, waiting for his plan.

"Johnny, what you are going to do next, the basement of Mingxin Hospital..."

"After this mission, you should be able to initially gain the trust of those Eagle Country people, and then you can tell them..."

Lu Yaowen slowly told his plan.

"Okay, Brother Wen."

After listening to Lu Yaowen's plan, Johnny nodded slowly.

After meeting Johnny, Lu Yaowen came to a villa in the Kowloon Tong villa area.

"Brother Wen."

Wang Jianjun, who was waiting here, immediately came forward and greeted Lu Yaowen.

"How is Mr. Li's mental state now?"

Lu Yaowen asked with a smile.

"I haven't spoken in a while."

After Li Ju was brought to this villa by Wang Jianjun, he was immediately locked up in a small dark room in the basement.

"Take him to the secret room and wait for me."

The smile on Lu Yaowen's face became even wider. In a place like a small dark room, it would take an extremely strong will for an average person to be able to survive for six hours.

Lu Yaowen was not at all surprised by Li Ju's "autism".

Ten minutes later, in a secret room in the basement.

"Lu Yaowen!"

Li Ju, with a pale face, was sitting on a chair. When he saw Lu Yaowen pushing the door and walking into the secret room, he immediately recognized him.

"Mr. Li, I will give you two choices now. Either you inherit your father's estate, or your brother inherits your father's estate. Which one do you choose?"

Lu Yaowen asked this question directly.

"..."

Li Ju was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted: "Lu Yaowen, stop bluffing me here. How dare you touch my father in Hong Kong Island?"

"Do you think your father has eaten too much dog food, and the Eagle Country guys are reluctant to let him die?"

Lu Yaowen asked back with a smile.

"..."

Li Ju's face flushed red. What he meant was the same as what Lu Yaowen said, but he couldn't nod in agreement, otherwise he would be calling Li Huanggua a dog.

"Li Ju, don't take yourself too seriously. For the Eagle people, if a dog dies, they just raise a new one and feed the meat to the next dog."

Lu Yaowen continued to speak.

"..."

Li Ju remained silent, but his expression became increasingly uglier.

"As the saying goes, even a dog will bite when it's angry. I'm curious, if the Eagles really want to kill you foreign-loving dogs and feed them to the next foreign-loving dog, will you bite the Eagles back?"

"Enough! Lu Yaowen, what do you want to say?"

Lu Yaowen's words were like bullets that shot into Li Ju's heart, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"Li Ju, you'd better think of the answer to the question I just asked you. I have limited patience and I won't wait for you forever."

Lu Yaowen ignored Li Ju's roar, smiled and said this, then turned around and left.

……

The next morning, a piece of news that shocked the entire Hong Kong Island spread quickly throughout the island.

Li Huanggua, Li Zhaoji and Li Jingtian have issued an ultimatum to Tang Judy, the chairman of Shimao Properties, that they will forcibly acquire Shimao Properties at a price of HK$4 per share.

If Judy Tong refuses, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of East Asia and Liu Chong Hing Bank will exercise their rights as creditors and forcibly collect assets that match the value of the debt, including but not limited to land, houses, properties, stocks, etc.

When this news came out, the whole of Hong Kong was in an uproar.

If Li Huanggua, Li Zhaoji and Li Jingtian can really forcibly acquire Shimao Properties, it will be the largest merger and acquisition case in the history of Hong Kong Island.

Soon, Judy Tang, chairman of Shimao Properties, responded, firmly rejecting the forced takeover by Li Huanggua and others, and at the same time accusing the relevant departments in Hong Kong of inaction.

At noon that day, in the VIP room of the Stock Exchange Plaza in Central, Hong Kong Island.

"Mr. Li, and Mr. Li, the share price of Shimao Real Estate has dropped to 2.90 yuan per share. In a week at most, we can push the stock price down to below 2 yuan."

The manager in charge reported to Li Huanggua, Li Zhaoji and Li Jingtian with a smile.

"well done."

The smile on Li Zhaoji's face was very bright.

Li Jingtian still had his signature smile, but Li Huanggua had no smile at all, as if it was not Shimao Properties but Hutchison Whampoa and Changjiang Group that were about to be forced off the market.

'Wow~'

Just then, a cry of surprise came into the VIP room.

‘Dong dong dong~’

Soon, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Come in."

The manager said with a frown.

"Manager, turn on the TV!"

one operator yelled.

"What's the matter? Why are you so surprised?"

The manager asked as he gestured to his subordinate standing nearby to turn on the TV.

"Shimao Real Estate held a press conference. Lu Yaowen, He Xian, He Xin, Lei Yingdong, Bao Yugang, and Zhuang Shiping subscribed to Shimao Real Estate's shares at a valuation of 150 billion."

The operator said hastily.

"..."

After hearing what the operator said, Li Huanggua and Li Zhaoji's faces changed drastically. Li Jingtian's face also changed drastically, but the change in his face was a little different from that of Li Huanggua and Li Zhaoji.

"Everyone, from now on, all of my land in the New Territories North will be handed over to Shimao Real Estate for development. Our goal is to make the New Territories North the new center of Hong Kong Island."

After turning on the TV, what caught the eyes of Li Huanggua, Li Zhaoji and others was Lu Yaowen, who looked very high-spirited.

"Damn it, it's Lawrence Lu again!"

Li Zhaoji stared at Lu Yaowen on the screen and said through gritted teeth.

"..."

Li Huanggua looked at Lu Yaowen with an equally ugly expression.

‘Ring ring ring~’

Just then, a cell phone rang.

Li Huanggua took out his cell phone and pressed the answer button.

"Which one?"

After just a few seconds, Li Huanggua's face suddenly changed, and there was even a hint of despair in his tone: "Why did the shares of Shimao Real Estate held by Chen Zhan and Wang Zhongying end up in Lu Yaowen's hands?"

After hearing what Li Huanggua said, Li Zhaoji's expression suddenly changed.

‘Ring ring ring~’

‘Ring ring ring~’

At this time, Li Zhaoji and Li Jingtian's cell phones rang almost at the same time.

At this moment, the VIP room was like a funeral room, and everyone's face looked extremely ugly...
