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

Huo Yingdong pondered and said, "Could it be that he found another opportunity to make money?"

Huo Zhenbei said: "It is possible. Father, I think you might as well ask him directly. Mr. Shen even told you about the short selling of the Japanese stock market, and I believe this time will be no exception."

Huo Yingdong glanced at him and said, "It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. Don't think that just because you made more than 2 billion without any effort last time, you can succeed next time. It's not good to take shortcuts. Industry is the foundation of our survival. Zhenbei, do you understand what I mean?"

Huo Zhenbei nodded and said, "I understand."

Chapter 657: The Aftermath of the Press Conference

Li family

Li Chaoren looked at the press conference on TV and said, "It seems that Shen Dong and the Eagle Sauce government have reconciled."

Li Zekai sighed and said, "If the Eagle Sauce government no longer has a bad relationship with Shen Dong in the future, this doesn't seem to be a good thing for us."

Li Chaoren asked calmly: "Zekai, in your heart, have you always regarded Shen Dong as an enemy?"

Li Zekai said without hesitation: "Yes."

Li Chaoren said, "Why? Because he embarrassed you before? Or did he have a bad relationship with our Li family? Or maybe there are other reasons. Think about it carefully, don't rush to answer."

Li Zekai pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "It's jealousy."

Li Chaoren asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Zekai said: "In the business world, there are winners and losers, which is normal. I won't take it to heart. The real reason why I regard Shen Dong as an enemy is probably out of jealousy. Before Shen Dong came out of nowhere, the most influential young generation in Hong Kong Island was me, my eldest brother, and some other family members."

"But since Shen Dong appeared, his brilliance has overshadowed all of us. I have to admit that Shen Dong is really very, very good, so good that I look up to him."

"It is precisely because of jealousy in my heart that I always hope that Shen Dong will get into trouble. Because only when he gets into trouble can I feel that he will fail just like us."

"Father, I was wrong."

Li Chaoren smiled and said, "I am really pleased that you can say such things. Zekai, let alone you, I am a little jealous of him. At such a young age, he has far more wealth than our four major families. In just a few years, he has surpassed the efforts of us old guys in our lifetime. How amazing is this? It can almost be said to be a miracle in the history of business."

Looking at the spirited Shen Dong on TV, Li Chaoren continued, "There are billions of people in the world. He is the only one who can become a billionaire at the age of thirty through his own efforts. I believe that it will be difficult for another Shen Dong to appear within a hundred years. Being in the same era as him is your misfortune, but it is also your luck. At least, you have a visible goal that will keep you going forever."

Li Zekai nodded and suddenly asked, "Father, did the Eagle Sauce government lose again this time?"

Li Chaoren said, "I lost completely. If I guessed correctly, the crash of those helicopter gunships and the tragic deaths of dozens of Eagle Sauce guys were all caused by Shen Dong. This man is too cruel and has a guts bigger than the sky. Compared to him, those so-called societies in Hong Kong Island are simply second-rate."

Li Zekai said: "Father, I want to start a business."

Li Chaoren looked at Li Zekai and said, "Have you thought it through?"

Li Zekai nodded heavily and said, "Without going through the storm, you will never see the rainbow. Father, I don't want to hide under your wings forever. I hope to be like Shen Dong, relying on my own abilities and courage to face the storm outside. Even if I fall on the road in the end, I will not be afraid."

Li Chaoren took a long breath and said, "Zekai, you have really grown up. Go and do what you want to do."

Li Zekai said gratefully: "Father, thank you for your support."

Li Chaoren laughed and said, "You are my son. If I don't support you, who will I support?"

Li Zekai couldn't help but hug Li Chaoren before turning around and leaving.

Li Chaoren took off his glasses, wiped his red eyes, and said, "I am a little touched by this brat."

Not only the Huo and Li families, other business tycoons also paid close attention to Shen Dong's press conference.

They knew that in this thrilling battle, the American government had lost all its face and reputation, while Shen Dong had won a great victory.

From today on, Hong Kong Island is likely to enter the "Shen Dong" era.

A week later, the aftermath of the missile attack on Central Police Station finally dissipated.

Angelica became the 27th Consul General after Michael and the only female Consul General in the history of the Hong Kong Island government.

In her inaugural speech, she won the favor of most Hong Kong citizens with her generous, sincere and gentle demeanor.

Inside Shen Dong's villa

While eating, Li Xinxin asked, "Husband, is Angelica's appointment beneficial to you?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "It should be considered an advantage. She is a moderate, not as radical as Mike."

Haitang glanced at him and said, "Killing with a soft knife is more terrifying."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "That depends on whether her soft knife can pierce our vital points. Tengfei Group is not a listed company and does not need to be responsible to the Securities Regulatory Commission and shareholders. As long as we don't go the wrong way, Angelica will never be able to find any flaws in us."

Ou Yongen asked, "What about Hang Seng Bank? I heard you are going to auction off your shares?"

Shen Dong said, "Tomorrow afternoon. Under Liu Dong's leadership, Hang Seng Bank has completely gotten out of its predicament, and its market value has reached 8.8 billion US dollars. I plan to keep 60% and sell the remaining 38% of the shares."

Ou Yongen said: "Once those wealthy people get on board, Hang Seng Bank's stock will definitely soar. So should you issue stocks to the public and raise funds next?"

Shen Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "Smart. This is Liu Dong's plan. He intends to raise 3 billion US dollars."

Ou Yongen said: "In this case, wouldn't your share be less than half?"

Shen Dong said: "Don't worry, I have a veto power. Even if the shares are diluted to 1%, Hang Seng Bank will still be mine."

Ou Yongen said: "Okay, you are awesome."

Shen Dong said, "Liu Dong is amazing. This old friend of your godfather is a top-notch person in terms of both character and talent. I feel relieved that he can take the helm of Hang Seng Bank."

Qiu Ti said, "Husband, your business is getting bigger and bigger, but your situation is getting more and more dangerous. Like the last time, if you hadn't predicted in advance that the Eagle Sauce military would take action against you, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Li Xinxin nodded and said, "Qiu Ti is right. Husband, don't you always say to be low-key in life and high-profile in work? Have you been too high-profile recently?"

Shen Dong sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the arms purchase with the Northern Soviet Union would cause such a big reaction in the United States. Fortunately, my family got through it safely. The United States government should calm down in the future, and I will not stir up trouble to irritate them anymore."

Chapter 658: Unethical Auction Method

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, many businessmen from Hong Kong Island gathered in the conference room of the Ascendas Hotel.

Today is the day when Shen Dong auctions Hang Seng Bank shares.

A total of 38% of the shares were divided into four parts: 8%, 9%, 10% and 11%.

The three major families in Hong Kong, the Fok family, the Bao family and other influential families were all there.

Some consortiums from the United States have also arrived.

Seeing this, Huo Yingdong frowned and said, "Mr. Shen finally managed to take over Hang Seng Bank from the Eagle Sauce guys. Why is he now allowing the Eagle Sauce consortium to compete for it? Isn't he afraid that there will be problems with the board of directors in the future?"

Li Zhaoshan said with a smile: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Shen has a veto power and his words are final in the board of directors. Not to mention that he holds the majority of shares, even if there is only 1% left, Hang Seng Bank will be decided by him."

Li Chaoren said, "Mr. Shen wants to maximize his profits. Because of this auction, the market value of Hang Seng Bank exceeded 9 billion US dollars this morning. Thirty-eight percent of the shares may bring Mr. Shen more than 4 billion US dollars in revenue. And Mr. Shen only spent this much money to acquire the entire Hang Seng Bank. In less than three months, he made billions of dollars in profits. It is really admirable."

Guo Shengli sighed and said, "Look at Mr. Shen's achievements, and then compare them with my uneducated son. Sometimes I want to beat my son to death."

Li Zhaoshan smiled bitterly, "Who said it wasn't?"

Five minutes before the auction officially started, Shen Dong walked into the scene.

Dozens of wealthy people stood up and greeted Shen Dong.

Naturally, Shen Dong would not be so foolish as to put on airs.

No matter who the other party was, whether they knew each other or not, Shen Dong returned the greetings one by one, being extremely low-key and humble.

Even when facing the representatives of the Eagle Sauce Group, Shen Dong did not show any hostility and chatted and laughed with them in fluent English.

Guo Shengli praised: "It's rare that he can be so polite and courteous when dealing with people after achieving such great success. If it were any other young person, I'm afraid he would have been so proud of himself long ago."

Several other wealthy people nodded.

"Mr. Shen, you are really good at playing guessing games. You haven't announced the bidding method yet." Li Chaoren said with a smile.

Shen Dong pointed at Liu Dong beside him and said, "I have always believed that professional matters should be left to professionals. Like all of you, I only know that it is a secret bid. Only President Liu knows the specific method.

Li Chaoren said meaningfully: "It seems that you trust President Liu very much."

Shen Dong said, "Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ. I have great trust in any executive of Tengfei Group. President Liu, the auction is about to start, so go and get busy."

"Yes, Mr. Shen."

Liu Dong nodded to Li Chaoren and other wealthy people, then walked up to the auction stage with steady steps.

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, I am Liu Dong, the president of Hang Seng Bank. Thank you very much for participating in the auction held by Hang Seng Bank."

"clap clap"

Everyone was very respectful and applauded Liu Dong on the stage.

Liu Dong thanked him and said, "Next, let me introduce the situation of Hang Seng Bank to you. Since Hang Seng Bank was acquired by our Tengfei Group, the Eagle Sauce Consortium has withdrawn its capital one after another, and the total amount of savings has dropped by nearly half. In addition, the previous CEO embezzled 6 billion US dollars of funds without authorization, which can be said to have brought a nearly devastating blow to Hang Seng Bank."

"But we did not give up. Following Mr. Shen's instructions, we carried out drastic reforms within the bank and did a lot of work on financial services and deposit rates. We gained the trust of countless citizens and achieved very good results."

"Of course, we will never forget the help that all the wealthy people present here have given to help Hang Seng Bank overcome its difficulties."

“So far, the client funds we manage have successfully exceeded US$80 billion, and the bank’s market value has successfully exceeded US$9 billion.”

"There is another good news to tell you. Hang Seng Bank has obtained the permission of the inland government. In the next year, we will establish branches in major first- and second-tier cities across the country."

"To sum up, investing in Hang Seng Bank is definitely a very good choice, please rest assured."

Guo Shengli said with a smile: "President Liu, we already knew the situation of Hang Seng Bank, otherwise we wouldn't be here."

Li Zhaoshan agreed, "That's right. You should just tell me the specific process of the auction."

Liu Dong said: "Okay. This time, Hang Seng Bank will auction 38% of its shares. One percent of the shares will be bid in secret, and the reserve price is 90 million US dollars. Whoever bids the highest will get 11% of the shares. The remaining 27% of the shares will be sold to the second, third, and fourth highest bidders at the same price. Of course, if they think the price is too high, they don't have to buy it, and our Tengfei Group will keep it for themselves."

As soon as this auction method was announced, there was an uproar at the scene.

"Damn, can you play like this?"

"They are really good at making money. If someone offers a sky-high price, won't everyone buy it at that sky-high price?"

"This Liu Dong is really obsessed with money."

......

Huo Yingdong turned to look at Shen Dong, who looked very satisfied, and said, "Mr. Shen, did you really not know about this auction method in advance?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I really don't know."

Huo Yingdong asked: "What do you think of this method?"

Shen Dong shrugged and said, "To be honest, it's a little immoral, but it can bring me the greatest benefit. So it's immoral, anyway, I don't know how many immoral things I have done."

Huo Yingdong was completely speechless.

The staff distributed pens and cards to a group of wealthy people.

Liu Dong said: "Please think about it carefully. The staff will collect the cards in five minutes. I need to remind you again that the price you filled in is to buy 1% of the shares. The reserve price is 90 million US dollars. Please don't forget to write your name at the end. After the auction, we will announce it publicly."

A group of wealthy people began to fill it up.

Before we came, they had already determined an amount, so everyone filled out the form very quickly.

Five minutes later, all the cards were collected.

Liu Dong gathered the staff into a meeting room and started sorting.

Chapter 659 Overseas Shares

After a while, Shen Dong came in and asked, "How is it?"

Liu Dong took out a card and said, "Brother Dong, what do you think of this?"

Shen Dong took the card, took a look at it, and couldn't help but laugh. It said: "10,000 US dollars more than their highest bid."

The name behind is Li Chaoren.

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Did you see that? This is the cleverness of the richest man in Hong Kong Island. What is the highest price?"

Liu Dong said: "The 1.05 million US dollars from the Eagle Sauce Consortium is much higher than I expected."

Shen Dong said: "Then record it as 1.0501 million US dollars for Li Chaoren."

Liu Dong nodded and said, "Okay."

After the ranking statistics came out, Liu Dong announced it immediately.

"The highest bidder was Sir Lee, who offered $1.0501 million."

One of the representatives of the Eagle Sauce Consortium shouted angrily: "You are cheating."

Liu Dong had already guessed that this would happen, so he said in a very gentle manner, "Sir, why do you say that?"

The representative said, "Because our price is $1.05 million. I don't believe that Sir Lee will only offer $ more than us. That's outrageous."
