Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

Lane Crawford was a long-established trading company that initially focused on retail before evolving into Lane Crawford Department Store.

Several years ago, I had designs on Dongda Group, coveting the land it held. Lane Crawford and Qian Duobao were my competitors in the industry.

For five years, both sides regarded each other as their biggest rivals, constantly vying for customers and sales resources. Now, Lane Crawford has lost.

Qian Duobao defeated Lane Crawford using the most common Chinese principle of low prices. They showed gentlemanly conduct, admitting defeat head-on and not resorting to tricks!

The sale of the entire Lane Crawford to Qian Duobao for HK$1.1 billion left countless Hong Kong residents stunned.

What happened to our supposed mortal enemies?

What happened to the plan of starting the day with both sides facing each other in a highly charged atmosphere as soon as the shops opened in the morning?

In the past three to five years, clothing saleswomen who came from two department stores have been highly praised in Hong Kong. The saleswomen who would stand with their hands on their hips and curse in the street, or be in a downpour, would immediately become sunny and warm as the eight o'clock sun when a customer came.

The unique operating methods of the two sides' staff are also a sight to behold here. You can shop here, and you might even witness some street brawling.

For high-end customers, there are even small stools, coffee tables, and coffee to serve you while you watch the show. They only curse and never fight. In this respect, Xinyi is really good!

Other shop assistants can't learn this, and the locals don't recognize it either. They've been doing it for four years since 61!

In the end, Lane Crawford lost. The key reason was that Qian Duobao's main source of goods came from He Yuzhu, and the cost price was less than 20% of Lane Crawford's cost price.

Lane Crawford is playing the high-end game again; they don't dare to beat you guys with cheap prices like Qian Duobao!

Lane Crawford persisted for five years but still lost. Fortunately, the value of its land holdings increased significantly, and it still owed 1.9 billion in debt in the retail sector.

In Hong Kong, they own half a street plus several small plots of land for shops. The estimated value is 2.3 billion, plus another 700 million for the department store and inventory.

We didn't lose any money at all!

Some companies wanted to buy, but the department stores and their inventory offered too low a price; they were worthless to them. Only Qian Duobao Company was different; they offered the same price for both the department stores and their inventory.

You guys are the ones.

After five years of business competition, Lane Crawford was acquired by Qian Duo Bao Company, and no one objected to this normal business competition.

The company is being transferred, but the scene of people swearing and yelling in the street remains. I hope this beautiful young lady in her mid-twenties will stay a part of the scene forever!

In June and July, there were still 12K resistance fighters, all of whom were either die-hard loyalists or people with screws on their heads.

Dongda Group spent 1.75 million, which means that another 35 people were buried, and there were no more people buried in August!

As for killing ordinary people and confiscating their property, no one dared to do it. The KMT has come to a complete end and become history!

While the port city is becoming more prosperous, the financial industry is still trembling with fear, as some banks are worried about getting into trouble due to illegal lending!

In mid-to-late June, the shipowner's construction team was gearing up to complete the undersea tunnel.

He Yuzhu bid farewell to his family and went to the Mud Monkey Kingdom, because the people there would have to pay the price for what happened there.

As for the rescue, only seven families, large and small, are on the list. They made a selfless contribution more than 20 years ago, and now they are expected to give back.

A debt of gratitude must be repaid!

Of these seven families, only two are in the hardest-hit area and require protection. The other five families are relatively far away and not in the hardest-hit area, so they are being protected and advised.

By late September, six families had armed themselves, while only one family remained unmoved. They were still in the hardest-hit area.

"As time went by and life became more comfortable, we forgot to be vigilant until we actually hurt them."

Let things persuade them; it doesn't matter how many people die, as long as we ensure the family continues to exist.

Proceed according to plan!

It is said that there are 110,000 army personnel, 6,000 navy personnel, and 5,000 air force personnel, according to them. He Yuzhu only saw eleven propeller fighter jets.

Your army, you call the shots!

On the second night of the fierce fighting, all officers above the battalion level within 200 kilometers of the capital, except for the hot-tempered officers, were present!

Everyone else was wiped out, not a single one left. What boss? Little Su? What brigade commander? They were all shot dead!

Five days later, apart from the three brigade commanders who were specially left behind, all the important figures were killed.

The three hot-tempered brigade commanders, who were also at odds with each other, started fighting each other in a chaotic battle!

The six families on the list saw the situation clearly. On the one hand, they armed themselves to the teeth, and on the other hand, they prepared to flee to Malaysia, where they were familiar with the place and the situation here would not end for several years!

It's been a complete mess in just a few days!

The family, which initially did not think anything would happen, did not arm themselves. After three family members died, the hot-blooded young men refused to stand for it!

Arm yourself, arm yourself, you must arm yourself!

We can't just stand there and wait for them to come and bully us!

Two days later, the weak old patriarch agreed to arm the family and leave the manor next to the capital, to go to the country farm first to see how things were going!

At this time, there were five people in his family: four women and his eldest son, who was also the future head of the family.

The cost was considerable!

A week later, the place met He Yuzhu's expectations, with a chaotic free-for-all, especially among the locals.

Goal achieved!

Only three of his cyborg subordinates sustained minor injuries!

Kuang Biao and Kuang Long, along with their thirty men who had come from Hong Kong, were left behind, while the rest of them withdrew and returned to their base in Malaysia!

He Yuzhu returned to his hometown of Gangcheng, and the next day he met Masa, who had come to Gangcheng, in the company office!

"If you have time and miss me, come find me. Just let me know if you need anything!"

"It's not a big deal for me. You're here, aren't you? Someone from Hutchison has approached Prince Cha's butler, wanting to use their 10% stake to find a backer and vigorously develop the company here!"

He's in school and doesn't care about a small company, so he didn't want to agree at first. But I happened to have some free time and wanted to come see you. If their company has money, why wouldn't they accept it?

As long as it doesn't harm your interests!

"Hehe, Hutchison is looking for a powerful backer. They've found out Prince's status is too high, so let's go for a second-tier position."

Qi Dezun successfully completed the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa and renamed it "Hutchison Enterprises Limited". The entire company is now valued at around 3.5 billion.

During this period, Hutchison Enterprises Limited successively acquired several well-known companies, including Watsons, Tak Wah Po, and Hong Kong Whampoa Dockyard.

This guy actually went to Chapman, wanting him to be his backer. That's a bit much. We're interested in Hutchison Whampoa.

They expanded a bit too fast, resulting in a very high debt ratio for the company. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to get another loan, but this is not the case here.

Qi Dezun is looking for someone to back him up; they're probably after a loan. I'm planning to take it over in ten years. Now, Hutchison has expanded and has the companies I need!

In the meantime, I also want to see how far they can expand! If they expand for another ten years, they'll be so full they'll burst. I'll let them eat themselves to death.

"HK$3.5 billion is not much. With 10% of the shares and more than 200 billion of our currency, it's not good for Prince Cha if they take out too many loans. It would be better to hand it over to his younger brother's family to win people's hearts!"

I'll sell it to you at the same price later, and you can help them exchange it for other stocks. It's a small matter, I'll take care of it!

"And your currency, I personally estimate it will depreciate by about 10% within three years. You should all be careful; you can quietly exchange it for American dollars now!"

"There's profit to be made from buying and selling. Can you predict the exact timing of currency devaluation? A 10% fluctuation can generate substantial profits. Forex and futures trading are quick ways to make money."

"We're not looking for stability anymore. If you want to speculate, just let us know in advance. As long as you can guarantee the safety of your funds, that's fine. We'll enter when the time is right. We still have time to prepare now, but it will take two or three years!"

"I understand. Now you need to focus on your work; it's time to go to work."

"No problem, I will definitely work very hard for Ms. Martha!"
