Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"Mr. Ho, I truly want to thank you this time. Without your help, my reputation would have been ruined in my later years," said Li Fuzhao, the first chairman of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, sincerely.

"Mr. Li, you don't need to worry about it. We deal with those speculators, and we know very well that you have no connection with them. The decision to suspend trading was your personal decision."

There are no external factors involved here. Otherwise, to be honest, I could tolerate someone being greedy, but I wouldn't tolerate someone making the wrong choice on matters of principle.

"I understand what Mr. He means. Everything is completely clear now. Our Li family will not do such a thing, not before, and not in the future."

"Mr. Li, you're fine with me, but you should be careful of others. I can only vouch for you that you haven't colluded with outsiders."

"Thank you, Mr. He. That's enough. As long as it proves that I didn't collude with outsiders to exploit my family, that's fine. I'm not a saint, and I admit my mistakes."

I still want to thank Mr. He; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to explain myself in this incident, even if I had eight mouths.

"Mr. Li, you're too kind."

Watching Li Fuzhao's departing figure, Zhao Youcai smiled slightly. "Someone will investigate him; his Far East Securities wasn't exactly clean before. I heard this small bronze tripod was his most prized possession."

"Taking a few bribes to help someone's company go public isn't a serious violation. We can't concern ourselves with these things; the law is in place, and it's none of our business. Take the bronze cauldron if you like."

"No need. Our Superman brother was destined to survive; he somehow managed to get 700 million in funds and filled his hole."

"This might be the strength of the 'Chosen One,' but it's alright. We don't need to pay attention to him anymore; we just need to focus on developing ourselves."

On January 1, 1988, He Yuzhu bought two sets of bio-engineered humans, choosing nationality from his hometown and Hong Kong, and entered Malaysia to work under different identities.

According to Malaysian law, these individuals can apply for Malaysian citizenship after three years, further strengthening control over Malaysia.

At the end of January, Dongda Group distributed 500,000 yuan annual bonuses to every employee under its jurisdiction, including retired employees.

This kind of extravagance makes the people of the port city extremely envious. So what if you don't have much education? If you follow the right boss, you can still make money all the time.

They don't have a good boss; all they want to do with the company's profits is drive 'Black Dragon' cars. The gap between us is too big; it's enough to make you cry!

The employees of Dongda Group are extremely grateful to He Yuzhu. He is the best boss. For the past thirty years, the company has always given them whatever they can, regardless of whether they are still employed or retired.

It fills them with gratitude, and with such a company existing, they have no worries about the future.

At the end of March, Niufeng Bank handed over 50 billion yuan, its headquarters address in Gangcheng, and several plots of land to Dongda Group as collateral.

They chose to sell part of their investment in the port city and return to their hometown.

He Yuzhu felt very sorry to leave. His biggest enemy in Gangcheng was gone, and he felt somewhat disappointed. He was left alone, standing on the mountaintop!

Loneliness is like snow!

Moreover, Niu Feng Bank still holds more than a dozen investment stocks, which they have not sold and are still holding.

They wouldn't sell, and He Yuzhu had no choice. The Niu Feng Bank headquarters, other land parcels, and several investment stocks were worth tens of billions, so he couldn't force them to sell.

What pleased Dongda Group the most was that Niufeng Bank was very sensible and acquired a 5% stake in CLP Power Limited, as well as a 7% stake in Gangcheng Modu Hotel Limited.

The Kadoorie family, which He Yuzhu had been eyeing for 15 years, now holds more than 50% of the shares in two major businesses, thus achieving controlling ownership.

"After we acquire the shares in CLP Power and Grand Hotel, we'll have profits. How do you think we should distribute them? Should we merge Asia Pacific Group and Far Eastern Group to become a giant conglomerate?"

"We can merge them together in a few years. Back then, we did this to avoid the company becoming too big and attracting attention. I no longer care about that. I just need to sell a few holding companies."

CLP Power can be sold now, and my personal opinion is to sell it directly to my hometown and let them decide the ownership of the company.

Whether it's more important for us to send someone to manage Asia Television, or for us to keep it in our own hands, is a matter of needing a voice. They'll understand.

"Our merger is to make us bigger and stronger. The reasons are easy to find. The power company is not important, but the TV station is useful. They should not refuse."

Our TV and film companies have been in our hometown for four years, so what are we finding now?

"The reasons for the merger are not difficult to understand. There are more and more large companies merging in the world. Our three companies have always had a good relationship. For the sake of the company's development, the merger is inevitable."

As for our television and film companies, they are doing very well. Our television programs and our cooperation with the specially approved Yanjing Satellite TV show have great potential for both of us.

Our film company already occupies 60% of the market in our hometown, and we have deeply integrated with the filmmakers there. We have also started recruiting for the two major film academies in Beijing and Shanghai.

Last year, their combined net income reached 1.2 billion, which isn't a lot, but their works were well-received.

"Don't violate their regulations. Make sure they approve it. Movies and television are cultural exports. How much money you make is not important. Don't go astray."

Tell Zhou Ze to tell them that he takes this matter seriously and that there are certain things his subordinates shouldn't do, including investing!

We retained our shares in the Grand Hotel and swiftly eliminated the Kadoorie family. Even without Joseph Lau (Joseph Lau) alive, we understood the Grand Hotel's value.

"I handled it. It's now worth over HK$4 billion, but it's only worth HK$2.1 billion in the stock market. They lost money."

Acquiring the approximately 45% stake held by the Kadoorie family is quite simple. Dongda Group has no way of controlling them and diluting their shareholding is just a piece of cake.

It's not difficult for Dongda Group to not make a profit or distribute dividends for several years, and it's clear that Dongda Group wants to clean up some foreign-funded companies.

The Dongda Group offered HK$1.2 billion to CLP Power and the Grand Hotel Company, which they reluctantly agreed to, so they didn't lose money on the price.

The last foreign consortium was completely taken back by Dongda Group, and Niu Niu Capital has become utterly powerless in Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, news came from Zhou Ze's hometown that the merged Dongda Group would take over the management, and further discussions would be held after 97, emphasizing that the company's say in the matter could not be lost.

"That's settled then. Without CTV, we must hold onto the remaining two TV stations firmly until after 97, then our mission will be complete."

"The investment department received another 873 billion US dollars, which is net income. The bonus has been paid out according to regulations, and it is higher than my salary."

These people have money but don't travel; they're always thinking about making more money. Ordinary people are the same way, even more so than programmers.

Back in my hometown, we had 1.7 million computers last year, mainly personal computers, and 1.2 million mobile phones. The average price for a flatbed scanner was 9,500 yuan. They're starting to have money.

"It's been ten years. There must be quite a few bold people, big and small bosses. We don't know how many people have 100,000 yuan in their hands, but they just don't flaunt their wealth."

"I hope their development speed can be even faster. People from my hometown are planning a trip to Malaysia because of the oil import issue; they want to import 5000 barrels of oil this year."

"An oil-consuming superpower is about to emerge. That's their business; we don't need to get involved. With lower oil prices, they're importing less."

"They don't know the future. What if Iran and Iraq agree to a ceasefire, and then the US military attacks Saddam Hussein in two years? What will we do then?"

"So be it. From now on, feeding the little eagle will be my only hobby: eating, sleeping, and keeping it warm!"

After Dongda Group acquired more than 90% of the Kadoorie family's businesses, it chose to delist and re-enter the stock market after restructuring.
