Chapter 175: Being Envious

Lu Bing brought mainland college students to Hong Kong Island. Suning arranged for employees to put the antiques they brought with them into the underground vault, and then looked at the mainland college students who came with them.

"Director Lu, how many college students are here this time?"

“Mr. Su, the first batch of thirty college students.

The following university students are all busy studying foreign languages, and the second batch will arrive in Hong Kong Island soon."

"Haha, great!
It just so happens that we can have a meal at Su's headquarters today. I will arrange for an employee to take the students around for a while!"

"Mr. Su, they are all here to work!
It's better not to go out and play around, after all, work is more important!" Lu Bing directly rejected Suning's suggestion.

After hearing Lu Bing's refusal, Suning remembered that the two sides still had some differences in their views, so he did not insist any longer.

"Huh? Okay! Then let's eat first, then arrange for them to stay, and then we'll make specific arrangements for their work tomorrow."

Suning was very happy to see the college students from the mainland following the employees of Su Group and walking into the company's headquarters building.

"Mr. Su, there will be several more groups of college students coming to Hong Kong Island.

Would your Su Group think it’s too much?

Is there any specific number of people required?"

"Haha, I accept everyone who comes!
Take as much as you want!

There is no limit on the number of people.

The term is three years. After three years of work, you can choose to leave Su Group and return to the mainland to work, or you can choose to continue working at Su Group. "

"Huh? Mr. Su is willing to let them freely choose to stay or leave after three years?" Lu Bing was really shocked after hearing Su Ning's explanation.

"Of course! The most important thing is that you stay and work willingly!
And for those who excel in their work, I plan to arrange for them to study and train at prestigious foreign universities.”

"Mr. Su, thank you so much!

This time I brought not only antiques but also a lot of gold to pay off the remaining balance."

“Gold? This is a good thing?

Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it!"

"Mr. Su, you're welcome!

Without Mr. Su's advance payment, it would have been difficult to purchase so much food."

"Director Lu, I will continue to buy antiques from the mainland. Can you still trade with me in the future?"

"this."

Lu Bing was a little hesitant. The reason why he used gold to pay off the balance was that many leaders had objections and believed that the antiques should not be bought by Suning alone.

"Director Lu, I know you're thinking about making steady progress and earning more foreign exchange!

But I will always use foreign currency to purchase, and I can ensure that antiques do not flow out of the country!"

"Mr. Su, this matter is not something I can decide.

I will report this to my superiors.”

"Haha, thank you very much, Director Lu!

In about half a year, the museum in Central will be completed!

When the museum opens, please invite Director Lu and other leaders to come and cut the ribbon!"

"Haha, definitely!
A few days ago, I heard that the director of the Kyoto National Museum in Japan came to see Mr. Su?"

"Yes! There is also Koizumi, a secretary from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

They invited me to build a private museum in Tokyo and offered me many favorable terms.”

"Oh! So that's how it is. The Japanese are really good at thinking big!

I heard that Mr. Su had a physical conflict with them?"

“Haha, it’s all a misunderstanding, it’s been resolved long ago!

After all, the Su Group still has many Japanese employees, so there's no need to make a big fuss about this!"

"Well! Mr. Su's consideration makes sense!

When I return, I will persuade my boss to continue trading antiques with Mr. Su!"

"Thank you so much, Director Lu!

I think that although these antiques for sale do not have much research value at the moment, they are still treasures of China!"

“If I acquire it, I will put it in a private museum in Central.

It will definitely promote Chinese culture to the greatest extent possible and prevent cultural relics from flowing abroad!"

"Mr. Su, I understand what you mean!
I will report this to my superiors!"

Looking at Lu Bing's leaving back, Suning seemed very helpless. He had already anticipated today's situation.

Originally, I was not planning to accept gold. I just wanted to buy antiques sold in the mainland for a long time. But now, there must be many people who oppose my act of buying them all.

Despite opposition from many people, Suning is still not prepared to give up the acquisition and believes that as long as it can be negotiated, there will be opportunities in the future.

The conflict between Suning and the Japanese was vividly portrayed by Hong Kong residents, who scolded the Japanese for being unreasonable and beat them up until they knelt and begged for mercy.

Most of the Hong Kong residents in the late 1950s had experienced the suffocating war years, and the hatred they felt for the Japanese invaders was something that people in later generations could not understand.

Now that they have heard about the conflict between Suning and the Japanese, and also learned about the Japanese's unreasonable demands on Suning, the residents of Hong Kong Island are angry.

They seemed to regard Suning as a national hero of the new era, and they were filled with hatred when they saw the Japanese on the streets of Hong Kong Island. This made many guilty Japanese people seek help from the Japanese Embassy.

The place with the largest number of Japanese employees working in Hong Kong Island is precisely the Su Group, the instigator of this incident. In order to prevent accidents to Japanese employees, they try to avoid Japanese employees going out alone.

If you really have to go out, you will be provided with personal security to prevent any accidents.

Suning knew that all it needed to do was issue a statement to resolve the issue, but it still wanted to see the reaction of Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

I have a lot of investments in Japan. No matter how I guard against Japan, I can't get away from the current Japan, so it's best for us to sit down and talk things out.

Maybe in the minds of the Japanese, I am just a small businessman. Although I have some influence, I am not valued by them.

Now that the Japanese have caused public outrage in Hong Kong Island, it is a good opportunity to make the Japanese behave themselves so that everyone can cooperate in business peacefully.

Lei Luo also heard about the dispute between Suning and the Japanese, so he directly arranged for the society to try to cause trouble for the Japanese in Hong Kong Island. If the Japanese called the police, they would delay it if possible and deal with it if possible.

The Japanese are not fools. When they were hated and treated differently, they must have known that they were being targeted by people from Hong Kong Island. In addition, when they went out on the streets, they felt the disgusted eyes of Hong Kong Island residents. They were really frightened. After knowing the specific reasons, they all complained about their experiences to the Japanese Embassy.

The British trading companies that were ecstatically targeted by Suning in the stock market found that they could hardly invest normally in other industries, because as soon as they made any move in the stock market, Suning would immediately target their listed companies.

Looking at the British trading company bosses in front of him and hearing their complaints, Hong Kong Governor Robert Black also felt that Suning's methods were very clever, as he had made it so easy for the British bosses to be overwhelmed.

Thinking of the unattractive Fatty Su, Robert Black began to take him seriously in his heart and no longer regarded him as just a Hong Kong businessman who looked up to the British.

“Okay! I got it!

I will ask Suning to come out as soon as possible, and we can sit down and have a good talk together!"

"Then I'll have to trouble the Governor to mediate!"

The bosses of the British trading companies left the Governor's House, but Robert Black did not look for Suning immediately because he was worried that Suning would become too proud of himself, so he simply left Suning alone for a while.

It wasn't until recently, after hearing about the conflict between Suning and the Japanese and understanding the causes and consequences, that Robert Black marveled at the Japanese's bizarre ways of thinking, capable of such cunning and predatory practices. Realizing that Suning's business in Japan would undoubtedly be targeted by the Japanese after the falling out, and thinking that Suning would surely face a tough time, Robert Black considered himself Suning's savior.

"Mr. Su, I heard that there was a conflict between you and the Japanese!
These Japanese are too despicable, they are so cunning and plundering!"

"Haha, it's all just a misunderstanding! Thank you for your concern, Governor!"

"Mr. Su, you know best whether it's a misunderstanding or not!

As long as you become a British citizen, your business in Japan will no longer be treated differently by the Japanese!"

"Well! What the Governor said makes sense!

I also believe that Britain has this strength.

It seems that the British foreign companies are willing to sell Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf Holdings?"

"Yes! They agreed to Mr. Su's investment in Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf Holdings."

"Invest? I want to acquire the entire company, not just invest!"

"Huh? Mr. Su, you are all businessmen, so it's better to be harmonious and make money!
Mr. Su should quit while he's ahead!"

"Haha, thank you Governor for your concern!

But I personally still prefer sole proprietorship!
It seems that I can only let down the Governor’s kindness!”

Bai Liji did not expect that Suning had already torn its relations with the Japanese, and when faced with the olive branch extended by him, they were still so ungrateful.

When he thought about the Chinese people he usually met, most of them were willing to compromise, but it was rare to find a Chinese person like Suning who didn't know how to advance or retreat.

Seeing Black's angry look, Suning left the Governor's House without caring. He really couldn't stand the compromise. Wasn't it just a nationality issue?

At worst, you can just become a German citizen and get more technical support in the future. There is no need to join the declining British citizenship and then be knighted, deceiving yourself by pretending to be a human being.

Japan also noticed the conflict between Suning and Saburo Oshima. They believed that Suning was just a businessman and did not take the matter seriously, because their government could crush the small Su Group with just a flick of its finger.

However, what happened in Hong Kong Island next shocked the Japanese government, and it began to take Suning and the Su Group seriously.

Although Suning has not yet acquired any nationality and is just an ordinary Chinese, he has a good brother, Lei Luo, who is the underground emperor of Hong Kong Island.

The Japanese government certainly knew that Lei Luo now had absolute power in Hong Kong Island. Seeing that Koizumi and Saburo Oshima had gotten into so much trouble, they realized that this matter had to be resolved as soon as possible.

The Japanese government first fired Koizumi, then sent Saburo Oshima to teach at the university, and finally sent a government worker to visit the underground emperor Lei Luo in Hong Kong Island.

"Inspector Lei, my name is Inoue Kawasaki.

I've been sent by the Japanese government to apologize to Inspector Lei and Mr. Su."

"Apologize? What are you apologizing for?" Lei Luo looked at Inoue in front of him with disdain, and then said sarcastically.

"Inspector Lei, some time ago, Koizumi and Saburo Oshima of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry offended Mr. Su and caused unnecessary misunderstandings.

I am deeply sorry! "

"Oh? So that's what it is!

So how did you deal with Koizumi and that Saburo Oshima?"

“Inspector Lei, the government directly fired Koizumi and Oshima Saburo.

They are no longer in government.”

After hearing Inoue Kawasaki's explanation, Lei Luo was quite satisfied with the Japanese's handling of the matter, and nodded, "Okay! Now I'll take you to the Su Group.

Just apologize to my brother in person!"

"Thank you, Inspector Lei!"

Suning looked at Inoue brought by Lei Luo, heard his explanation and apology, and knew that it was very good that the matter could be resolved in this way.

"Mr. Inoue, since it's just as you said, this is a misunderstanding!
If you explain it clearly, there will be no problem!"

"Thank you Mr. Su for your understanding!"

"Mr. Inoue, the Su Group will publish a statement in the newspaper soon to explain this misunderstanding and everything will be fine!"

"Thank you Mr. Su!"

After Inoue Kawasaki left, Lei Luo looked at Suning and said, "Fatty, you are so easy to talk to!
These little Japanese should be made to apologize!"

"Haha, my Su Group has many Japanese employees.

It would be good for everyone if we could resolve this dispute!"

“Fatty, your business is so big now!
Can I invest in your company?"

Su Ning knew that Lei Luo had made a lot of illegal money since he became the Chief Chinese Inspector, and he wanted him to help him clean it up.

Suning had been mentally prepared for Lei Luo's request and had thought of a way to deal with it, so they were not too surprised.

"Brother Luo, I understand what you mean!

In fact, I have already thought of a solution for you. You can open a foreign trade company and a film company."

“In fact, making movies is the best way to launder money!”

"Making a movie? How to launder money?" Lei Luo seemed a little surprised.

"Brother Luo, making a movie is very expensive and there's a lot of water in it!

It’s impossible to tell how much it cost!
After the film is released, no matter what the result is, the money can be laundered! "Suning did not lie to Lei Luo. The entertainment industry in the future is the best place to launder money.

"Well! If you put it that way, making a movie is really great!

Can't your company help me wash some of it?"

"Brother Luo, my company's accounts are very clear.

It is impossible for a large amount of funds of unknown origin to appear!

So, leaving it with me is actually the most dangerous!"

“That’s fine!

Since you don't want to!

Forget it then!" Lei Luo suddenly felt unhappy.

How could the change in Lei Luo's expression escape Su Ning's eyes? He couldn't help but smile, "Brother Luo, are you angry?"

"Well, let me give you another tip!
Besides making movies, you can also auction antiques!"

"antique?"

"Right! You hire someone to make some fake antiques and then auction them off!
Finally, I bought it secretly at auction!
