A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 313 Out of Control
"Hahaha! Rice dumplings, beautifully done!!"

As soon as Li Xing drove He Pingshi back to Qingyi Island Manor, Mi Gao called. Listening to his ecstatic laughter, Li Xing said: "Uncle Mi Gao, what's wrong with you? Is Aunt Betty pregnant again?"

Mi Gao said angrily: "Tangyuan, don't learn from your father!"

Li Xing reacted for a moment before saying speechlessly: "Uncle Mi Gao, where did you think you were... I mean, why are you so happy?"

Michael smiled and said: "You made that guy George Sassoon lose face, can't I be happy? Tangyuan, the Kadoorie family and those sons of bitches are not going to deal with it! However, I didn't expect you to deal with it like this."

The moment HSBC sent the invitation letter to Li Xing, he got the news, but he didn't take any action.

Mi Gao wanted to see if Li Xing was flattered enough to be able to stand alone, or if he really had a problem.

Except for some top figures in Hong Kong Island, Li Yuan is not much different from a passerby in the hearts of ordinary people.

But just those top figures cover almost all the forces in the black and white circles.

They were not afraid of Li Yuan, but no one wanted to offend an expert in medicine and martial arts.

As long as the fundamental interests are not touched, who would be crazy to offend such a person.

This also made Li Xing, the prince of Longhu Hall, more and more famous outside.

Li Xing is usually generous with his money. He usually doesn't come back empty-handed when people he has some friendships ask for rare medicines that are not easy to buy outside.

But these are all false names. The real ability lies in the response after the encounter.

Many people learned about the news of the HSBC family today, and many people were watching indifferently, wanting to see how Li Xing would respond.

And Li Xing's response made everyone's eyes brighten.

Li Xing smiled and said, "I just don't know what to say to him. Uncle Michael, do you know what the Sassoon family wants to do?"

Mi Gao said: "What else can we do? Of course we are eyeing your Longhu Pharmaceutical Factory, Datang Pharmaceutical. It's winter again, and Oseltamivir is selling like crazy in the West. Tangyuan, your family has opened a printing store. The banknote machine still prints US dollars. Roche and Glaxo are still competing for your second drug, which treats herpes. Roche just grabbed the cooperation rights, and the stock price rose several points. In this track, Hong Kong Your family is the only one on the island, so of course the Sassoon family wants to get involved."

Li Xing cried bitterly: "Uncle Michael, could you please tell them that they are really not making any money? Glaxo set the marketing costs so high. They worked hard for a year last year and almost lost money after throwing away the expenses!"

Mi Gao laughed and said: "Tangyuan, which pharmaceutical company develops a new drug that can recoup all its costs in the first year? That is the biggest hit among hits! There are still more than ten years left, and it will be a time for huge profits. Okay, now that your attitude has been made clear, there is nothing more to say next. Your family is an ally of our Kadoorie family, and it is not the Sassoon family’s turn to interfere."

Li Xing smiled and said: "Uncle Mi Gao, will the other side use some extraordinary measures? I just came back and asked the security guards at home to pay attention to security issues."

Mi Gao smiled and said: "Tangyuan, your understanding of your father is still a little bit behind. That's it."

……

Central, HSBC Building.

On the top floor, George Sassoon overlooks the entire Victoria Bay.

"Hong Kong water flows down from the Pearl River, enters Victoria Bay through Kap Shui Mun, and then flows into Lei Yue Mun through Kwun Tong Reservoir. Finally, it is blocked by Tung Lung Chau."

"The rushing water comes in and the slow water comes out. The water forms two "curved water cornucopias" at the two turns in the middle. This is the so-called "nine curved water" in Feng Shui, which is the supreme pattern of sentimental water."

George Sassoon is wearing a dark yellow trench coat. He should be no more than forty years old. He looks quite elegant, and his skillful Chinese interpretation of Feng Shui patterns also means that he is not an idiot.

Next to him, there were Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji and other Hong Kong island's countless upstarts, as well as HSBC's top class Shenbi.

Li Jiacheng and others do not belong to HSBC, but the HSBC consortium holds a large amount of their stocks. Of course, these people's investment funds also hold stocks of major listed companies under the HSBC consortium.

They are a close community of interests.

"George, it seems that Longhutang has no interest in cooperation at present. Let's end this matter here."

Li Jiacheng pushed up his glasses, looked at the foreign man in front of him and said.

George Sassoon looked back at him and smiled: "Li, this is not the you I know. When did you back down so easily?"

Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "It's not about shrinking, it's about choosing. George, you don't know that Dr. Li. He is definitely not what you think. He only does experiments in the laboratory and is a nerd-like character. I don't know. Who provided you with such information, but I think if this person is usually a careful person, he probably has other thoughts."

George Sassoon narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "What should I say? Of course I know that Dr. Li is very powerful and very proficient in your ancient Chinese boxing skills. But he doesn't like socializing, doesn't he?"

Li Jiacheng smiled bitterly and said: "I don't like socializing, not because he is dull and can't speak, but because he is too arrogant and doesn't look down on other people at all. I think I used to be a very arrogant person in my heart. Although I am very humble on the surface, I will I think those people are not living well because they have no brains." He pointed at the living beings under the building and said: "But later I realized that people have to deal with fate. Having a good mind is also a kind of fate. This kind of There is nothing to be proud of when it comes to luck. Only by being open-minded and learning from everyone's strengths with an open mind can we truly achieve long-term success and achieve greater success. That Dr. Li is different..."

George Sassoon and others listened attentively. Shen Bi, the chief executive of HSBC Bank, asked: "Li, why is Dr. Li different?"

Li Jiacheng shook his head helplessly and said: "I used to think that this man was just very talented and very smart, but he was arrogant and could only be strong for a while, and sooner or later he would decline. But later I discovered that this man was not only arrogant, but also very shameless. He looked down on others, On the other hand, he is actually willing to absorb the advantages of others. For example, I can feel that he doesn't think highly of me and has never liked me, but he allows his financial company to continue to increase its holdings of Changshi stocks... I have worked hard to do this company, but he can sit back and enjoy the gains.”

Everyone around them laughed, and Zheng Yutong and Li Zhaoji also laughed bitterly and said: "And our stocks."

Li Jiacheng became serious and said: "Through this incident, I know that this person is definitely a strongman who will do whatever it takes. It's good to be able to cooperate, but if you can't cooperate, it's best not to be an enemy."

George Sassoon said amusedly: "Why, are you still worried that he will deal with us like he dealt with Fu Yixing?"

Shen Bi shook his head and said, "That's impossible."

Li Jiacheng reminded: "It's not impossible, but he may not do it. But if he brings all his family members back to the mainland, do you think it is possible for him to do it? As long as his family members are not on Hong Kong Island, he will not have any You can worry about it. Can our people go to the mainland? There is no way. Therefore, he is different from us, there is no need to push him. Besides, there is the Kadoorie family. "

George Sassoon lamented: "That would be a pity. HSBC's expedition to Europe and America did not go smoothly. We do not have excellent products. We cannot survive in the West simply relying on finance and real estate."

In addition to making money in Greater China, HSBC also suffered losses in all regions including the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, and Germany.

In the first half century, people often said that the West has the Rothschilds, the East has the Sassoons, and the Sassoons are the Rothschilds of the East.

But in the past 20 years, few people have mentioned it like this.

Because after the Sassoon family went to the UK, their performance was really... I can't say that they accomplished nothing, but they can still be worthy of the word "mediocre".

The sudden appearance of Datang Medicine ignited their hopes.

The Charter King said: "If he is just a little stronger, it doesn't matter. There are too many ways to force him to submit. Find a glove and let him deal with the Li family. After forcing him to break the law, it will be much easier. Then it will be much easier." , the mainland has nothing to say. Maybe he will help us get rid of him. But as far as I know, his two drugs were not developed by his team at all, they were developed by himself. All I can say is this People's medical skills are extremely powerful. If we except him, then there is no point in having that pharmaceutical factory, and we will have to pay a very high price."

George Sassoon shrugged: "Well, so be it."

……

"Chen Bo really said that Dr. Li's destiny is so weird that it conflicts with him and can easily lead to his longevity being drained?"

In Li Jiacheng's car, Li Zhaoji, Charter King and Zheng Yutong all looked at him. Li Zhaoji asked with concern.

Li Jiacheng nodded and said: "It is indeed true. Their family has some...evil nature in them. I once took Uncle Chen to observe Li Aiguo. After Uncle Chen returned, he had a high fever for three days and was unconscious. I asked someone to After staying by the bedside for three days, Uncle Chen confessed this sentence when he woke up."

Li Zhaoji frowned and said, "Then what does this mean? Should we take a detour when we see him in the future?"

Li Jiacheng shook his head and smiled: "Uncle Chen also said that this person will not be stationed in Hong Kong Island permanently. Moreover, judging from his appearance, he is not in conflict with us. As long as he does not take the initiative to provoke, he will not be an enemy. Of course, it is not Friend. At that time, there was no news about the two drugs from Li’s pharmaceutical factory.”

Zheng Yutong said: "No wonder... If that's the case, we don't have to work for the Sassoon family. A doctor with superb medical skills is a blessing rather than a curse for us."

Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "Of course, we are not vassals of the Sassoon family. They have supported us, but we have also brought them very generous returns."

Several big guys have finally reached a consensus.

After reaching this point, even if they have received help from the HSBC consortium, how can they be willing to just be a vassal?
This year, Shao Daheng is over 70 years old. If he can live to eighty without any disasters and is still full of energy, then these people will try their best to make friends with Longhutang.

The richer a person is, the less he wants to die.

It is a crime to disobey an expert!
However, what they never expected was that when they woke up the next morning, they received the news almost at the same time. The twin buildings of Longhutang on Prince Edward Road were burned down, and the nightclub run by Li Yuan's second son was burned down. What horrified them most was that the house of Li's eldest son on Robinson Road caught fire and was burned down.

Li Xing, Li's eldest son, is arranging customs clearance for his family and is preparing to return to the mainland as a family.

In an instant, several people's scalps were numb, and a chill suddenly swept through their bodies, and they were filled with shock and anger!
Pu, your mother, the Sassoon family, you are so crazy!
You don’t want to live, but we still want to live! !

Yesterday, they were all companions.

In unison, several people grabbed their coats and ran out. If the Li family could not be stopped before they passed the Luohu Port, this matter would have completely gotten out of control...

At the same time, Mi Gao also got the relevant news, and his whole body was numb!
