Hong Kong Movie: Traveling through Hung Hing, you want me to do good deeds?

It was indeed their dereliction of duty to allow more than 20,000 pieces of antiques, calligraphy and paintings to fall into the hands of foreigners.

"Mr. Shen, what do you want in exchange for handing these antiques over to the country?" Du Yuxin asked.

Shen Dong looked at Du Yuxin with burning eyes and said, "President Du, you must have communicated with the country before you came. We are old friends, just speak frankly, there is no need to test me here."

Du Yuxin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Shen, are you really only 29 years old? Why do I feel like I'm dealing with an old fox?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I take your words as a compliment to me."

Chapter 561: Transaction with the Inland

"I was complimenting you."

Du Yuxin made a joke, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, saying, "I wonder if the twelve zodiac animal heads are among them?"

Shen Dong said: "Your information is correct. The many antiques do include sheep heads and snake heads."

Du Yuxin held up two fingers and said, "Two conditions. One is that the sheep head and the snake head must be returned to the country, and the other is that these antiques must be displayed in your private museum for everyone to appreciate. If you want to sell them in the future, you can only sell them to Chinese people, and never to foreigners."

Shen Dong asked: "Is it over?"

Du Yuxin nodded and said, "It's over. As long as you agree to these two conditions, all the antiques will belong to you personally."

Shen Dong said without hesitation: "I agree to both conditions."

Du Yuxin was very happy and said, "Great. When will you give me the sheep head and the snake head?"

"Now."

Shen Dong pulled out the suitcase next to the boss's chair, handed it to Du Yuxin, and said, "I had guessed that you would come to rob us, so I brought them all here in advance."

Du Yuxin said: "Your choice of words is typical. I was clearly trying to persuade you, not to take advantage of you."

Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Whatever you say."

Du Yuxin laughed and unzipped the suitcase.

Two half-meter-tall bronze statues of animals appeared in front of him, one was a sheep and the other was a snake.

If I had to use an adjective to describe it, it would be lifelike.

Shen Dong said: "President Du, these two bronze animal heads should be real, right?"

Du Yuxin said: "It looks like it should be true."

"should?"

Shen Dong curled his lips and said, "I thought you were an expert in this area, but it turns out you are a layman like me."

Du Yuxin said unhappily, "Every profession has its own expertise. It's normal that I don't understand. But it's abnormal that you, who want to build a museum, don't understand."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Well, I can't argue with you. Since none of us understand, you can take it back and find someone who understands to appreciate it."

Du Yuxin zipped up the suitcase and tried to lift it up.

After trying several times, the suitcase just wouldn't move.

Shen Dong couldn't help laughing and said, "President Du, these two bronze heads weigh more than 100 kilograms in total. You must be careful not to hurt your waist."

Du Yuxin pointed at Shen Dong and said, "I figured it out. You are just deliberately making fun of me."

Shen Dong raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "Ten years from now, the value of these two bronze heads will be at least more than 10 million US dollars. I have suffered such a big loss, and you still don't let me have some fun."

Du Yuxin was speechless.

Joking aside, Shen Dong still helped Du Yuxin carry the suitcase downstairs and put it in the trunk of his car.

After Du Yuxin left, Shen Dong whistled and a bright smile appeared on his face.

His worst plan before was to give half of the antiques to the inland government.

He never thought that Nei Lu was so generous and gave all these antiques to him, which made Shen Dong very happy.

The value of more than 20,000 antiques, calligraphy and paintings will definitely exceed 100 billion in the future.

Not to mention anything else, just the six paintings and calligraphy by Tang Bohu and more than ten pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain are enough to make Shen Dong rich.

"Brother Dong, the guy named Fu Guang has been found."

Shen Dong had just returned to the office when he heard Zhang Huan's report.

"Tell me about his specific situation."

"Fu Guang is 34 years old this year. He used to be a mercenary. After retiring, he returned to Hong Kong Island and formed a team of 30 to 40 people specializing in antique trading. He is low-key, but ruthless and likes to play shady games. He has a very bad reputation in the circle."

"What is the relationship between Fuguang and the Hill Group?"

"I speculate that Yan Leng and Fu Guang are in the same line of work, and they specialize in transporting antiques to the inland for the Hill Group."

"You mean Yan Leng and Fu Guang are in charge of antiques, and the Hill Group sends them abroad to sell. The two parties are in a cooperative relationship, right?"

"Correct."

"That's strange. Why did Yan Leng want to trick Fu Guang before leaving?"

"Is it possible that the relationship between the two is not good, and Yan Leng wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

"Infighting is always a constant theme among criminal organizations. Ah Huan, I am not interested in Fu Guang's life or death, but I am very interested in the Xia country antiques they hid. What can you do?"

"Fu Guang is not like Yan Leng. This guy is a pervert. Even if we catch him, it will be difficult to get what we want. The only way is to monitor him and find out where Fu Guang collects antiques."

Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "We stole antiques from the Hill Group, and the CEO of the Hill Group, Defoe Martin, has no way to explain to the headquarters. What do you think he will do next?"

Zhang Huan's eyes lit up and he said, "While looking for the whereabouts of the antiques, do your best to fill this big hole. Martin is likely to set his sights on Fu Guang."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "This is very likely. After so many years of cooperation, I don't believe Martin would not know that Fu Guang and Yan Leng have intercepted a lot of antiques."

"I know what to do."

After Zhang Huan left, Shen Dong received an invitation to a birthday party.

Huo Yingdong is going to hold his 70th birthday party tomorrow and invites Shen Dong to attend.

The invitation was sent by Huo Zhenbei, the eldest son of Huo Yingdong.

Three major families were also invited.

Huo Yingdong, who has always been low-key, suddenly became so high-profile, which made Shen Dong feel that this birthday party was not simple.

The next day at noon, Shen Dong brought Li Xinxin to the Huo family.

Huo Yingdong personally welcomed them in.

At this time, Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoshan and Guo Shengli all arrived with their wives and children.

When they saw Shen Dong, the three of them actually came over and greeted him for the first time.

Looking at the three old guys smiling, Shen Dong couldn't help but shudder and said, "Sir Li, Mr. Li, Mr. Guo, I'm a little surprised by your attitude. Is there anything you need my help with?"

Li Chaoren smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, we are both local entrepreneurs from Hong Kong Island. Although we don't have a good relationship on weekdays, I believe you will not stand idly by when facing foreign enemies, right?"

When Shen Dong heard this, he immediately thought of what had happened recently at Hang Seng Bank.

A week ago, the three major families once again joined forces to launch an acquisition of Hang Seng Bank.

As of yesterday's closing, Hang Seng Bank's total market value had risen from US$9.2 billion to US$13.2 billion.

The three major families have obtained 22% of the shares. They only need another 8% to apply for a thorough investigation of Hang Seng Bank's financial statements.

Once the problems are discovered, Hang Seng Bank will be in danger of collapse.

At that time, the three major families will be able to use this incident to force the Eagle Sauce Consortium to sell their shares, and then take control of Hang Seng Bank and gain partial control over Hong Kong's financial industry.

Chapter 562 Shake hands and make peace

Although Shen Dong doesn't like the three major families, compared to the Eagle Sauce Consortium with ulterior motives, he still hopes that the three major families can win.

Huo Yingdong coughed and said, "Four of you, let's go to the study and talk."

Shen Dong and the other three nodded at the same time and said, "Okay."

When he arrived at the study, Huo Zhenbei personally brought five cups of tea. After placing them down, he stood respectfully behind Huo Yingdong.

This was undoubtedly telling the four people that the future heir to the Huo family would be Huo Zhenbei.

Huo Yingdong said, "Mr. Shen, I'll be frank. I invited you to my birthday party this time for two purposes. One is to be a peacemaker and resolve the hostile relationship between you and the four major families. The second is to ask for your help to take over Hang Seng Bank together."

Shen Dong said, "The first question is very simple. As long as Sir Li, Mr. Li and Mr. Guo don't take the initiative to cause trouble to me, I will definitely not have nothing better to do than to cause trouble to the three of them."

Li Zhaoshan said: "Mr. Shen, are you serious?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Of course. Mr. Li, do you admit it or not? From the beginning to the end, it was you four who took the initiative to attack me, and I basically fought back passively. Although the force of the counterattack was a bit strong, I never took the initiative to attack you."

Li Zhaoshan was silent for a moment, then said, "You're right. There's nothing we can do about it. This is how business competition works."

Shen Dong said: "The business philosophy of our Tengfei Group can be summed up in eight words: healthy competition and win-win cooperation. What is healthy competition? By improving the quality of our products and service levels, we can defeat our opponents in an upright manner, occupy the market and achieve success. This is healthy competition. Healthy competition is inevitable and is also a necessity for social development, but disgusting competition can be completely avoided. Just like before, your four major families cooperated with the Eagle Sauce Consortium and wanted to use the Black Hawk helicopter to blow me to death and then divide up my company. Such behavior has gone beyond the scope of commercial competition and openly crossed the red line of law and morality. If I did the same, I'm afraid you would have been drinking tea with the King of Hell down there now."

Guo Shengli said: "We didn't take any action."

Shen Dong sneered, "You are just accomplices who just want to take advantage. To be honest with you, you should thank the inland government. I originally wanted to get rid of you once and for all, but it was the president of Xiahua Society, Du Yuxin, who called me more than ten times in a row and even alarmed a certain big leader in the north, so I didn't do anything to you. Haha, I'm not bragging, when it comes to killing people, our Tengfei Group is much more professional than you."

When the three heard this, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Li Chaoren let out a long breath and said, "No wonder you didn't attack us. It turns out that Nei Lu interceded for us."

Shen Dong said playfully, "So, even if you don't give me 10% of the shares of the light bulb company, I won't touch a hair of yours. But Li Aji and your two sons will definitely die."

"cough cough"

Huo Yingdong coughed twice, interrupting Shen Dong's words, and said, "Everyone, the most important thing for us is not to dwell on the unpleasantness of the past, but to face the future positively. Just like Mr. Shen said, we can compete, but the competition must be healthy."

Li Chaoren said: "I totally agree with this statement."

Guo Shengli and Li Zhaoshan also nodded.

Huo Yingdong said happily: "That's great. As long as our local entrepreneurs can unite and not fight among themselves, I believe the future of Hong Kong Island will be better. Come, let's drink tea instead of wine."

Shen Dong picked up the teacup, clinked it with the four people, and took a sip.

After drinking tea, the atmosphere in the study became noticeably more relaxed.

Li Chaoren asked, "Mr. Shen, what do you think of the fight between us and Hang Seng Bank?"

Shen Dong said: "Hang Seng Bank is the lifeline of the Eagle Sauce Consortium's control over Hong Kong's financial industry. They will try every means to stop your attack. With the financial resources of the Eagle Sauce Consortium, it is impossible for you to win in a short time."

Huo Yingdong sighed and said, "We have already acquired 22% of the shares, and we still need 8% to get it. But this 8% is like an insurmountable chasm."

Shen Dong asked in surprise: "Mr. Huo, are you also participating in the acquisition of Hang Seng Bank?"

Li Zhaoshan said: "Mr. Huo helped us get 6% of the shares from other local businessmen."

Shen Dong gave Huo Yingdong a thumbs up and said, "You are still very respectable. How many shares of Hang Seng Bank are still in the hands of local businessmen?"

Li Zhaoshan said: "There are two local businessmen who hold 9% of the shares. But both of them are willing to be dogs of the Eagle Sauce Consortium. No matter what price we offer, they refuse to stand with us."

Guo Shengli snorted and sneered: "These two guys have close ties with the Eagle Sauce Consortium. Once they sell their shares to us, they will suffer heavy losses."

Shen Dong asked: "In that case, what do you want to see me for?"

Li Chaoren said: "We want to borrow 2 billion US dollars from you to purchase shares on the market."

Shen Dong said: "As far as I know, there are only 7% of the shares left on the market. Even if you buy all of them, what's the use?"

Li Chaoren said: "Once the shareholding reaches 26%, we will be the largest shareholder of Hang Seng Bank. Regardless of whether other shareholders agree or not, we can forcibly send representatives to the board of directors."

Shen Dong said, "Hang Seng Bank's share price has gone through the roof. If you continue to buy shares on the market, you will suffer huge losses. As the saying goes, if you want to take something, you must first give it. Let me tell you, you might as well sell your shares while the share price is high enough. If you keep going back and forth like this a few times, that idiot Philip Buck will have trouble sleeping."

Huo Yingdong said: "If they buy out all our shares at all costs, then I'm afraid we will never have a chance to take over Hang Seng Bank again."

Shen Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "That's true. Everyone, I'm afraid I can't give you 2 billion US dollars. Most of my funds have been invested in Japan. Even if everything goes well, it will take half a year to get them out."

Huo Yingdong's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said, "Mr. Shen, have you started to implement your plan?"

Shen Dong nodded and said, "Let's start right away."

Li Chaoren asked curiously: "Mr. Shen, what are you going to do in Japan?"

Shen Dong did not hide anything and said directly: "Everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme. Japan's economy has reached its peak. I predict that within half a year, the Japanese will be finished. Therefore, I plan to short the Japanese stock market and the Japanese yen. If you are interested, you can go and play together. Maybe you can earn a lot of pocket money."

Chapter 563 The Old Man's Call

Guo Shengli frowned and said, "The economy of Japan is almost catching up with the Lighthouse Country. How could it suddenly go wrong? Mr. Shen, what is the basis for your judgment?"
