A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 425: The son wants to be taken care of but the relatives won’t wait for him ( words updated, please vote for me!)

A tumultuous year has passed. At the beginning of the new year, the Zhengwuyuan issued a notice on issues related to the adjustment of grain purchase and sales policies.

Ordinary people find it difficult to read documents. To put it in plain language, it means that food stamps and grain books are one step closer to bidding farewell to the stage of history.

After all, God will bless China. Last year, the external situation was in a mess, international pressure was as strong as Mount Tai, and domestic industry and commerce almost collapsed.

But God will not starve the bird to death, and agriculture has ushered in another bumper harvest.

One billion farmers, with their most solid chests, have supported China so that the sky will not fall and the ground will not sink.

The total grain output reached 435 million tons, an increase of 6.7% over the previous year, setting a new record high.

The production of cotton, oilseeds and sugar, as well as the production of vegetables and fruits, etc., also achieved bumper harvests.

This gave the country enough confidence to face the rampant collapse theory.

At this moment, no scholar in the world believes that China can survive the current crisis.

Everyone is watching the joke, thinking that the West does not need to send out aircraft and artillery at all. As long as they watch, they can see the largest socialist country after the furry bear collapse on its own...

Li Gui didn't look at anyone else, but stared at Li Yuan and said: "Youngest, my time has come. It's good, I have no regrets. When I die, don't make any publicity, don't dig graves, just cremate me, and scatter my ashes in the Qinjiazhuang crops." Half, half, you take it back to Hong Kong Island and spread it on the hill behind your home. Aren’t all the old graves in the old capital being leveled? Don’t make such futile noises.”

After Li Gui glanced at his youngest son again, he looked at his eldest son Li Chi and said: "In the future, the children at home will not have to run back every year. Let them celebrate the New Year with their comrades in their own units. Doing your job well is better than anything else." . Set up good rules, the youngest is soft-hearted, you have to help him keep it in check."

Historically, many people went to the bullpen to experience life for many years because of taking a stance on this issue.

Qin Daxue was free again, because he insisted on reforming, which surprised many people.

However, the effect of this conversation was not very good...

Haizi, flower hall.

Because when the original price passed the barrier, Qin Daxue slapped the table several times to deny it, and even dared to contradict her loudly in Miliang Hutong. At that time, most people thought she had turned to the other side.

It was at this time that the Gulf War broke out. The beautiful country spread across thousands of miles, dispatched 100,000 aircraft sorties, dropped 90,000 tons of bombs, launched 288 Tomahawk cruise missiles and 35 air-launched cruise missiles, and used a A series of the latest aircraft and various precision-guided weapons carried out multi-directional, multi-wave, high-intensity sustained air attacks on selected targets. Not only did they directly defeat Xiaosha, known as the world's third military power, but also the world's No. 1 For the first time, I realized how powerful the most powerful country on the planet is.

Every winter and spring, Mr. Cao's health is not good.

Qin Daxue had nothing else to say.

From the side, it encouraged the arrogance of those who knelt down and surrendered.

Faced with this situation, Gu Gu pointed out during his inspection in Shenghai: Shenghai is late to open, so we must work hard! Pay close attention to the development of Pudong and do not waver until it is completed. I hope the people of Shenghai will be more liberated in their thinking, more courageous, and faster in their steps. He also pointed out: Don’t think that planning means socialism and market means capitalism. That’s not the case. Both are means, and the market can also serve socialism.

Mr. Cao waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter to me, Xiaoxue, you are doing the right thing. Just stick to the path you have chosen."

Li Chi's hair was almost white, and he nodded with tears streaming down his face.

Qin Daxue shook his head and said: "My father-in-law's advice before his death was not to erect a monument, not to erect a tomb, and not to allow any big events. Half of the ashes were scattered in the fields of Qinjiazhuang, and the other half was asked by Li Yuan to take them to Hong Kong Island and scatter them on the hill behind the house. , keep everything simple.”

For a time, the Li family cried loudly.

Mother Li took the black and white plaid handkerchief and wiped her face. Then she looked up and saw that her husband had closed her eyes forever. The old lady called out "his father" and burst into tears.

Hearing what Mr. Cao said to protect his calf, Qin Daxue held the old man's hand and said with shame, "I've caused trouble to you again. Without you protecting me from behind, I wouldn't dare to be so straightforward."

With the support of Mother Li, he came out of the bedroom, walked to his Taishi chair and sat down.

No one expected that Qin Daxue's support for Gaikai at this time would be so strong that he dared to be the enemy of the world.

"Grandpa!"

But, what does this have to do with Li Yuan at this moment?

Mr. Cao smiled and said: "How dare you, how could you ever cherish this life? However, as I said again, don't worry, let's wait and see. Xiaoxue, Xiao Li's father passed away, when will the funeral be held? I will ask the staff to do it on your behalf. I'll send you a wreath to express my gratitude."

But isn’t it because of the reforms that the polar bears have become what they are now?

Does China have to repeat this tragedy again?

Most people would just let it go if they screamed like this, but Qin Daxue had Mr. Cao behind her, and her voice could not be easily ignored even by the comrades who were mainly responsible.

The eight sons of the Li family, as well as their grandchildren and great-grandchildren were all stunned. Li Yuan was the first to react. He stared blankly at his old father who was looking at him with a smile, and took a few steps forward...

On the New Year's Eve of 1991, Li Gui, who was already too old to get out of bed, suddenly became energetic.

Li Yuan nodded slowly, looked at his father and said, "Dad, I remember."

Li Yuan nodded with red eyes and said, "Dad, I understand."

Including the country's first generation of public intellectuals and economists, they openly published articles in newspapers, "It's time to make a choice between society and capital."

"dad!"

It can be regarded as a public response to the chaos of people's hearts.

However, the external situation is so difficult now that even the group of experts who originally encouraged the price hike have disappeared and they no longer dare to make any public remarks in support of the reform, because it already involves big issues of right and wrong.

Li Yuan stood there quietly, watching the thin Li Gui sitting on the Taishi chair, unable to move anymore...

It was as if those aircraft and missiles were launched by their own father, and they were proud of it.

……

They devoutly believe in the book "The End of History" written by the American scholar Fukuyama, and believe that Fukuyama's view is about to be realized, that is, there is only one path for the development of human political history, which is the Western market economy and political system.

After giving Mr. Cao the medicine, Qin Daxue said, "Mother Cao, have a good rest. I'll go back first."

When the situation reached a stalemate, Mr. Dong finally spoke up and asked Qin Daxue to take care of Mr. Cao first and put Mr. Cao's health first.

"grandfather!"

Li Gui looked at his youngest son lovingly and said: "After you recovered from your illness that year, you became more and more thoughtful. You laughed and laughed, thinking about the whole family, as if you wanted to repay your kindness. My youngest, what's the matter? Well, you are the youngest in our family. From now on, just take good care of your mother and don't be too tired. You owe nothing to anyone. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. They can take care of two generations, but not three or four generations. If you hurt them hard, they won't hurt you anymore."

After Li Gui finished speaking, his eyes looked at Li Kun and the other eldest grandsons again, and finally looked at Mother Li, her speech was slurred, and she said with a smile: "Meiju, thank you, take care of yourself... …”

Mr. Cao smiled and said: "After all, they are the older generation of proletarians. When the prime minister first left, he left similar words, but they refused, and there was nothing I could do. But remember, after I leave, I will definitely do the same. In this way, you must be simple and you must stick to your principles. I believe you. However, even so, I still have to send a wreath to express my gratitude. Thank you for raising such a good child, including you."

Qin Daxue nodded and said, "I understand, thank you, Mother Cao."

Mr. Cao said: "Is Xiao Li very sad?"

Qin Daxue sighed, smiled and said: "He is okay. He persuades my mother-in-law every day and makes the old lady happy. He said that everyone has been heading towards death from the day they were born. So there is a saying , is called living toward death. Living every day well will make the people who leave more at ease than wallowing in sorrow."

Mr. Cao shook his head and said: "This is also a man who can endure hardships. It hurts in my heart."

Qin Daxue paused, then smiled bitterly and said, "I can't see what he was thinking, but Jiu'er burst into tears when she saw her father, saying that her father was being cut by a knife in his heart."

Mr. Cao understood and said with emotion: "If he wasn't such a person, you wouldn't recognize him like this. Okay, don't stay here. I'm sleepy after taking medicine. You can go back and stand. As a daughter-in-law Yes, you must also show your filial piety. It is a good thing that you are unemployed now, otherwise there will be many more people joining in the fun."

Qin Daxue smiled, stood up and covered Mr. Cao with another quilt, then turned and left.

……

The eighth day of the first lunar month.

The wreaths in Liyuanzhong Road Courtyard were placed from the two wings in front of Yin'an Hall to the Lion Courtyard and then to the gate of the Royal Palace.

It was unexpected by everyone, but it seemed to be reasonable.

After the offices of many veteran comrades such as Cao, Gu, Dong, Liu and Nie sent wreaths, the offices of major comrades such as Sui Sui and Zhao Junxun also sent wreaths.

Then various departments below mobilized one after another...

In addition, Wang Shixiang's group of old Beijing playmates also sent wreaths.

The most surprising thing is that from Hong Kong Island, not only did they send wreaths, but twelve top tycoons including Mi Gao, Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, Run Run Shaw, and Ho Gambling came uninvited and flew from Hong Kong Island. Arrive in the capital and stay at the State Guesthouse just to attend Li's father's funeral tomorrow.

A large number of members of the Tang Dynasty Management Committee, as well as many celebrities from Hong Kong Island, came, wearing black suits and white flowers, staying in the Beijing Hotel, waiting for the last journey of their ancestors who will be sent to the boss's house tomorrow.

Although Hong Kong Island has been fully westernized for a long time, it still retains a richer etiquette than the mainland in this regard.

After the beautiful country spectators sent wreaths for the Rockefeller family, the Dupont family's wreaths, and the Cowboys spectators sent wreaths for the Lancaster family, things could no longer be kept low-key.

Mei Changning came to the door and quickly told Li Yuan to bury the old man in the cemetery so that future generations could pay their respects. He also arranged for a memorial service to be held in the hall.

The most famous cemetery, there are actually level restrictions to enter. Only comrades above the county regiment level can enter. Li Gui obviously does not meet the conditions.

Li Yuan didn't respond. He sat there without saying a word and ignored him.

Finally, Qin Daxue said to Mei Changning: "Meibu, don't try to persuade me. Our old man has been down-to-earth and low-key all his life. He did not dispute the great contribution he made in pressing the water well and let it go. The most cherished thing in his life is what the old man said. Words, but never show them off to others. Before leaving, I told you not to make any noise, keep a low profile and be simple."

Mei Changning rubbed his brows and said: "But there are many people waiting to see them off tomorrow." After a pause, he added: "Director Qin, you should know that on a personal level, the relationship between the West and us is basically Interrupted state. This is the first time...maybe an ice-breaking opportunity."

Qin Daxue said in a deep voice: "What they value is the Li family in Hong Kong Island, not the mainland. Even on foreign affairs issues, they must be upright."

This is already a very rude reprimand.

Li Xing hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Datang has arranged enough vehicles. If you want to send grandpa off for his last journey tomorrow, you can take a car to Qinjiazhuang without any delay."

Mei Changning felt bored and sighed: "Okay, okay." Then he looked at Li Yuan, who had been silent, and laughed and cursed: "You bitch, why did you persuade me first, why don't you persuade me now? Knife It didn’t fall on me, so Feng Liang said it lightly, didn’t it?”

After his old parents passed away, he was so sad that he didn't want to see anyone, and he couldn't stop crying every time. It was his daughter Jingzi who called Li Yuan. Li Yuan flew from Hong Kong Island to Sijiucheng. He was probably holding in his stomach. His anger turned into harsh words, scolding him bloody.

Why did such a great proletarian give birth to such a crying sissy son? And a great woman like Mr.

Why, it was the scolding that woke him up.

The two drank a lot of wine, and Li Yuan left.

Things are changing, and today is the day for Mei Changning to persuade Li Yuan.

But after all, he was more ethical than Li Yuan. Amidst the frowns of everyone, he hugged Li Yuan with his left arm and said: "You still have my mother here, be filial and don't let the old lady worry. You are better than me, I have nothing." ”

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

It's impossible not to leave. The sadness in Li Yuan's body is too heavy. He won't be able to bear it if he doesn't leave.

This person, the more we get along with him, the more I feel he is worthy of friendship. He has too much human touch.

Unlike some people, who become more powerful and wealthy, but their human touch becomes less and less...

……

The ninth day of the first lunar month.

A minibus served as a hearse, carrying Li Gui and the eight brothers of the Li family to the funeral parlor. When they saw their father being sent into the crematorium, the eight brothers burst into tears.

At this time, talking about dignity and status are all things outside the body.

They only know that their father who stood up for them is gone...

An hour and a half later, the hearse joined a long and mighty motorcade and drove towards Qinjiazhuang.

In the fields of the Li family, with cries rising to the sky, the eight brothers of the Li family scattered their father's ashes in the fields...

"Dr. Li, my condolences."

After many Hong Kong tycoons bowed to the dirt one by one, they shook hands with Li Yuan and expressed their condolences.

Li Yuan didn't say anything and bowed in return. Everyone in Hong Kong sighed, and after condolences to Li's mother and others, they left in a car.

Many executives and superstars were thanked and sent off by Li Xing, Li Yuan, Zhao Yazhi and others.

After returning to the palace, the family placed the other half's ashes in the Yin'an Hall first, and waited for Li Yuan to take them back when he went to Hong Kong Island some time later.

"Mom, would you like to come to Hong Kong Island and stay with me for a while?"

In front of his mother, Li Yuan was not as silent as he was outside, and smiled as if nothing happened.

Seeing Li's mother shaking her head, Li Yuan smiled and said: "Brother, they are all going too. The weather in Hong Kong is nice now. How about we go to Saigon to have seafood barbecue? Then we go to shoot two episodes of the TV series!"

Mother Li looked at her youngest son and said softly: "My youngest, are you hungry?"

Li Yuan felt as if someone had punched him in the nose. When his nose became sore, tears fell down.

Mother Li smiled and patted her son's hand and said, "Xiao Qi said you haven't eaten or drank for several days. How can this be done? I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. People are getting old, and all the elderly are getting old. One day, people used to say that the old man could live ten thousand years, but he passed away at eighty-three. Your father still lived to be ninety, which was enough to make back his money. Zhizi Mo Ruofu, you see, before he left, your father gave him a single door. After you said a few words, I knew that you must feel uncomfortable in your heart. But no matter how uncomfortable you are, you still have to love yourself."

Li Yuan lowered his head and wiped his face, then raised his head and smiled: "No. I just want to think about something...Mom, I'm serious. You go too, eldest brother, second brother, and third brother. We go to the sea to catch small fish." Son, you can wrap us up in noodles and eat fried fish and dried fish. Just like you did when you were a kid."

Mother Li held her son's hand and said, "Didn't your father say that you should live your own life for two years and stop thinking about home? I don't want to go anywhere, so I will live here. Your eldest brother and the others I live here too, and I go out for a walk when I have nothing to do. I’m in good health and can live for another five years. We’ll go there and play again next year.”

The old lady was weeping in her heart, and the old man just left. She would definitely be reluctant to go far, and would go home often to visit. The house cannot be empty, no one is watching the house, no one is cooking...

Li Chi frowned at Li Yuan and said: "Go back quickly, Tang Yuan can't answer a hundred calls a day. You are a father, so you can't ask your child for everything. It's so difficult for children, and we don't understand. How can we help?" If you are not busy, you don’t care about anything as a father, which is shameful. Don’t be so angry and go back quickly. We are at home, and so are Daxue and Zhiguo.”

Li Jiang hugged his younger brother and said with a smile: "Why, do you think my second brother is useless now that he's old?"

Several other brothers came around one after another, patted the younger brother on the shoulder, and persuaded: "Youngest, go back."

"it is good."

……

After returning to Hong Kong Island from the mainland, Li Yuan did quickly get rid of his grief and depression, and first went to have a physical examination with the tycoons who expressed condolences.

Guo Desheng, one of the four real estate kings in Hong Kong, died last year, and the charter boat king looked like he would not be able to survive for a few more days.

At the beginning, the chartering king desperately wanted Li Yuan to provide him with health care. He was even willing to deposit HK$500 million when Hang Seng was in its most difficult time.

But Li Yuan still refused, and then formed a longevity game.

If these rich people were doubtful back then, no one now doubts whether this longevity game is reliable or not.

Old Roland has lived to be ninety-two years old, and Run Run Shaw is eighty-two years old this year. It is said that last Christmas he spent the night with two young ladies from Hong Kong...

Everyone in the twelve immortality bureaus is in good health.

This was the reason why they put aside their identities, made such a big fuss, and all set off to the mainland to express their condolences to an old rural man they had never met.

"Dr. Li, I'm sorry that I couldn't go to the mainland to attend my father's funeral."

In the mansion at No. 79 Deep Water Bay, Zhuang Yueming served Li Yuan a cup of tea and apologized.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Mrs. Li, it's okay."

There was a girl standing behind Zhuang Yueming. She felt something strange when she heard this title... A flash of embarrassment flashed across Zhuang Yueming's dignified face, and then she felt relieved. She was already somewhat used to Li Yuan's narrow-mindedness.

After Li Jiacheng changed his clothes and came out accompanied by his eldest son Li Zeju, he raised his hands and said with a smile: "Sorry for bothering you, Dr. Li. I look forward to this day very much every year. After Dr. Li's acupuncture and massage, I felt that the fatigue and illness accumulated over the year have dissipated." Doctor, I have a heartfelt request..."

Li Yuan drank tea and smiled: "If I plead for your wife, then forget it."

Li Jiacheng said seriously: "Dr. Li, I am willing to pay double the money." He quickly added: "This is definitely not disrespecting Dr. Li. Now everyone knows that in terms of family background, the Li family of the Tang Dynasty is definitely the richest man in Hong Kong Island. Even those British-funded foreign banks can’t compare to Datang in terms of cash today. The price only represents our sincerity.”

Li Yuan shook his head helplessly and said: "Old Li, you still underestimate me. With my friendship with Miss Zhuang, I can really help, how can I collect money? It was Miss Zhuang who was born with a heart disease, not my past two years. She uses acupuncture and massage therapy twice a year, but she may not be able to stand here today. Miss Zhuang, have a good rest, be less angry, and you can still have grandchildren in the future. Otherwise..."

Zhuang Yueming's face paled when he heard this, he nodded slowly and smiled forcefully: "Thank you, Dr. Li."

Li Yuandao: "Go and have a rest. I'll come back to you in the fall and see if there will be no problem in ten years. Let's talk about it in ten years... ten years from now."

Zhuang Yueming breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him again, and went back upstairs to rest with the girl beside him.

That was Li Zeju's partner, named Wang Fuxin.

Hey, the reason why this girl with an average family background and average appearance became the Crown Princess of Nagawa was not because they fell in love at first sight as announced to the public.

Love at first sight comes from stunning. Li Zeju, a scumbag, what kind of beauty has I never seen? How can an ordinary girl be stunning?

In fact, it was due to the guidance of Chen Bo, the royal Feng Shui master around Li Jiacheng, that the two people's birth dates were extremely consistent.

In Feng Shui, it’s really hard to say whether it’s true or false.

Anyway, Li Huanggua's experiences over the years were mostly guided by his feng shui master, Uncle Chen.

After Zhuang Yueming went upstairs, Li Jiacheng touched the top of his sparse hair and felt that it was a little cucumber-colored...

Of course, this idea was only for self-mockery. He understood that Li Yuan was deliberately teasing him.

Looking at Li Yuan, who was clearly only ten years younger but looked more than thirty years younger, Li Jiacheng said with envy: "If I could know how to maintain health like Dr. Li, and be so young and healthy, I would be willing to spend more money." !”

Li Yuan glanced at him and said, "Do you know who can live the longest in the longevity bureau?"

Li Jiacheng still remembered: "Uncle Six?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Uncle Shao Liu is really a lucky man. Originally, I could only conclude that he would definitely live over ninety, maybe a hundred. But when we meet again in the next few years, watching his complexion and listening to his pulse, I It is certain that he can live for more than a hundred years. Uncle Shao Liu may become the longest-lived rich man in the history of Hong Kong Island. I don’t know whether the annual donation will make him feel smooth or really accumulate blessings. In short, that person You're lucky. Lao Li, don't believe this. Follow his example and try to donate rural teaching buildings and hospitals for a few years. I also hope you can live a few more years. When you live to be 100 years old, one year The medical fees cost more than one billion, and I made a lot of money."

Li Jiacheng nodded without thinking too much: "I will arrange it this year."

Li Zeju suddenly said: "Uncle Li, the Bayan media said that Datang Financial took away at least 20 billion US dollars from the Bayan stock market. Is it true?"

Li Yuan said "ha" in confusion and said, "Really? Why am I not clear?"

Li Zeju smiled and said: "It's definitely true. Although Datang Financial is covered by Hang Seng Bank, such a large flow of funds cannot be concealed. Just like Datang's huge gains in the Japanese stock market, it is amazing. If Datang enters Hong Kong Island real estate, I don’t think anyone will be your opponent.”

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiacheng and smiled: "Cucumber...Old Li, there is someone who will succeed you."

"..."

Li Jiacheng was a little embarrassed and said to Li Zeju: "Victor, if you have any questions, you can ask your Uncle Li directly. There is no need to beat around the bush. Dr. Li is a very smart and direct person. Don't be smart and make people laugh."

Li Yuan was delighted, this was also a top-notch person.

He said: "Don't worry, Datang doesn't have much interest in real estate. Although Datang Real Estate has 20,000 residential units in reserve and some land is building luxury homes, it is basically internal and not external."

Li Zeju's face was complicated, with envy, jealousy, awe, and a little fear, and he said: "Uncle Li, will the business that Datang wants to do be too risky and difficult?"

He couldn't understand at all why the Li family of Tang Dynasty did not engage in such a hugely profitable real estate industry, but instead went into big industry and semiconductors without overestimating their capabilities.

Everyone knows that those industries that are successful will have far-reaching influence over other industries, but no one from the four major real estate king families in Hong Kong has ever wanted to do it.

why?

The investment is too big, the risk is too big, and the involvement behind it is even bigger.

Those industries actually go beyond the purely economic realm.

It would be great to work in real estate and collect rent while your children and grandchildren have plenty to eat and drink.

Li Yuan didn't answer him, saying that he didn't agree with each other.

He changed the topic and asked Li Jiacheng: "Old Li, how many HSBC shares do you have in your hand?"

Li Jiacheng wondered: "Doctor Li, what do you mean..."

He was stunned and his heartbeat almost stopped for a beat.

Li Yuandao: "HSBC Bank was transferred to HSBC Holdings at the end of last year. Four HSBC shares were exchanged for one HSBC Holdings share, and the place of registration became the United Kingdom. In other words, the financial lifeline of Hong Kong Island is controlled by this British-funded consortium. In your hands. This won’t work, we Chinese businessmen have to get it back.”

Li Jiacheng smiled bitterly and said: "Dr. Li, before 1987, if we united all Chinese businessmen and made secret preparations, it would have been possible to accomplish this matter. But after the 1987 stock market crash, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange introduced a new strategy, and all the shareholders holding more than 100 shares Five-fifths of the major shareholders must issue an announcement whether they increase or decrease their holdings in the stocks of listed companies. HSBC has a total of 15 billion outstanding shares, priced at 42 yuan per share, with a market value of more than 600 billion. And once a takeover war is launched, this value will soon exceed one trillion. It’s impossible.”

Li Yuan smiled and said: "If I launch an acquisition tomorrow, will you follow me? My request is very simple, as long as HSBC does not have a surname of Ying. And the request for the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong is even simpler, just don't send food and grass supplies to HSBC." "

Li Jiacheng shook his head repeatedly and said: "Chung Hutchison is too small to eat this giant thing... Dr. Li, HSBC has also developed a lot of business overseas. The acquisition of HSBC is not simply the acquisition of HSBC Bank. Now HSBC Bank is wholly owned by HSBC Holdings It's just a subsidiary. Furthermore, HSBC is not just HSBC, it also controls the Hong Kong government's internal treasury. The pool of funds it can draw upon is so deep that it doesn't need our help at all."

HSBC is equivalent to the central bank of Hong Kong Island.

Li Yuan chuckled: "I'm not that greedy, I only want HSBC Hong Kong. If one day I run this Guilao Bank, I hope CK Hutchison will not become a national scum. There is almost no business competition between Datang and CK Hutchison, except for Outside of ports and terminals, most of them are complementary. I really don’t want to see one day when Hong Kong businessmen fight to the death and let the ghosts be proud of themselves. Think about it for yourself and say goodbye.”

After Li Yuan left gracefully, Li Zeju stammered: "Dad...Dad, he...what does he mean? How dare he..."

HSBC has been a god-like presence in the century-old history of Hong Kong Island.

Now someone actually wants to take advantage of it? !

Li Jiacheng pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a serious face: "It seems that Datang did make a lot of money in the Japanese and Gulf stock markets, which made him forget about it. The board of directors of HSBC does not have absolute controlling rights. The total share capital of 15 billion shares is all tradable shares. The largest single shareholder only holds 8% of the shares. But because of this, the HSBC board of directors has always firmly controlled HSBC.

If you want to acquire HSBC and cross the control line, you will need to spend at least one trillion Hong Kong dollars in cash. Unless Datang packages and sells all its businesses, plus their profits from the Japanese and Gulf stock markets, it may be possible to succeed. This is without HSBC hiring a white knight. But I think neither the United Kingdom nor the United Kingdom will allow this to happen. Even the mainland may not be willing to see Datang take over HSBC. "

Li Zeju nodded and said: "That's right. If Datang takes down HSBC, there will be no one left to govern on Hong Kong Island. Not only that, HSBC has the power to issue Hong Kong dollars, which means we will all be working for Datang from now on. Hong Kong Island, It becomes the Li family's Hong Kong Island. The mainland guarantees that Hong Kong Island's policy will remain unchanged for fifty years, and if the Li family of Tang Dynasty runs it for fifty years, the whole city will become his family's. That would be terrible."

Having said that, the father and son still didn't sleep well all night. After all, Li Yuan said that he would work for HSBC tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the two of them looked at each other with panda eyes, both of them speechless.

The father and son immediately opened the "Financial Morning News" and cursed in unison: "Push to the street!"

There was no news from Mao, but before the two men could feel relieved, news came in the afternoon that Datang Financial had bought stocks in the Hang Seng Index, including the stocks of the four major real estate kings, including CK Hutchison Group, and HSBC stocks.

The number of stocks bought is very high!

For a while, Li Jiacheng and his son were confused as to whether the Li family of Tang Dynasty was planning to take over HSBC or Changhe...

Naturally, they don’t know that the Hong Kong stock market has not fully recovered from the shadow of the 1987 stock market crash in 1991, and the 3,000-point market is still uninspiring. But from next year until 1997, the Hang Seng Index will start a new era. A bull market with great momentum.

Three thousand points soared to 16,700 points. There was no reason for Datang to miss the golden years of Hong Kong Island.

After all, there are still so many gold-swallowing behemoths waiting to be fed.

As for HSBC, we should not rush for a while, but take our time, there will be opportunities...

……

Lu Yu Tea House.

Li Yuan looked at the two old men across from him with a playful smile.

Li Xing, on the other hand, had a more sincere attitude. He handed a document bag to Jin Yong and said, "Zha Sheng, Datang does not necessarily want to acquire the Ming Pao Group. It's just that Cha Sheng had an agreement with my father, so Datang Group has not looked for other newspapers in recent years. Secondly, we have also made a lot of preparations for the acquisition of "Ming Pao". But since Uncle Liu has come forward to intercede, we will not force others to do anything. We are just checking students. This heir is really not that good, you can take a look at this."

The original agreement with Li Yuan to sell "Ming Pao" to Datang in 1994, when Jin Yong was 80 years old, changed.

Jin Yong, a scumbag, met a young man named Yu Pinhai. Because he looked exactly like his eldest son who committed suicide, he was moved and wanted to sell "Ming Pao" to Yu Pinhai.

This time I asked Run Run Shaw to come forward just to ask for a favor.

Under the guidance of his father, Li Xing sent people to Canada to investigate the details of this hair-picking man named Yu Pinhai. If he didn't investigate, he wouldn't know. A lot of exciting information was found out after an investigation.

While studying in Canada, this Pengjie was convicted of seven charges including theft, counterfeit checks, illegal use of other people's credit cards, and possession of firearms. He was sentenced to two years in prison minus one day.

Even the specific dates were found clearly. Within three months of 1979, Yu Pinhai was charged with using other people's checks and credit cards, involving a total amount of 4,600 Canadian dollars, and concealing a pistol without a license. The total sentence was two years minus one day, and he was released after serving four months.

Jin Yong's jaw almost dropped when he saw it.

He declined so many financial groups, including Li Jiacheng of Datang and Changhe, and chose Yu Pinhai, who had insufficient funds, because of his elegant and elegant character.

Who knew that there was such a person behind it.

I thought I chose Duan Yu plus Qiao Feng, but it turned out to be Murong Fu plus Yun Zhonghe.

Seeing his old friend's expression extremely ugly, Run Run Shaw glanced at the document in his hand and said with a smile: "Cha Sheng, this is a good thing. If you find this after you lend him all the stocks and give up your position, It will be too late to regret it then.”

Li Yuan tapped his fingers on the table and said calmly: "Mr. Cha can take him back for verification before making a decision. I can give Uncle Six a face. However, if Mr. Cha has not made a decision by this time in three days, Then Datang will directly scan the stock market and initiate compulsory acquisitions. Mr. Cha, no one can honor my promise. The King of Hell tells you to die at midnight, but you may not be able to die. But those who deceive me will definitely pay the price. "

Jin Yong looked bleak when he heard this, and said disheartenedly: "Dr. Li, don't worry, if...if these are true, I will sign a sale agreement with Datang in three days. Those who break their promises will not be able to stay for a long time. Check I'll go ahead and say goodbye."

Li Yuan raised his chin slightly, but Li Xing stood up to see him off with a much gentler attitude.

Run Run Shao looked at Li Yuan, who had a somewhat stern expression, and sighed: "It's also bad luck. This Yu Pinhai is too much like the eldest son of Cha Sheng who committed suicide in his early years. Cha Sheng has placed great hopes on that eldest son since he was a child. I spent a lot of energy on cultivating him. But I didn’t expect that the child would be so obsessed with it.”

Li Yuan sneered and said in a mean tone: "Since he can't bear to think about it so much, just go down and accompany his son. It's unreasonable for him to dare to go back on what he agreed to do."

Run Run Shaw's eyes twitched. He originally wanted to continue running TVB for a few more years, but now he gave up. This kid is a little different from before, he is very domineering.

He looked at Li Yuan and said, "I will be eighty-five next year. Will TVB let Miss Zhao take charge?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "She has been following you and Miss Fang for many years, and she is familiar with the basics."

Run Run Shao was a little worried and said: "I heard that Miss Zhao has been learning a new management method, so I asked her to find out. Dr. Li, TV stations are different from other companies. With that kind of intensity of management, many people There’s nothing to eat.”

TVB’s biggest problem is that there are too many people eating.

Call Shao Laoliu picky, he is really picky.

It's already 1991, and the standard salary for TVB actors for filming one episode is HKD 500, and for 20 episodes, it's only HKD 10,000.

The median salary of college students who graduated in Hong Kong in 1991 is $13,000.

But let’s say he is stingy. Those old actors and behind-the-scenes actors who have followed him since the 1940s and 1950s were originally from Shaw Brothers, but later merged into TVB. As long as they did not leave on their own, they all had a bite to eat.

Although they are only given a basic living allowance of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per month, there is never a shortage, and as long as they are willing to film and work, their income will definitely be more than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars.

You know, after decades of accumulation, the number of employees has already exceeded 10,000.

TVB is not a state-owned enterprise, but a private enterprise. How can other enterprises do such good things?

But if it were managed according to that set of modern management laws, these people would have to get out.

When Li Xing came back and heard this, he smiled and said: "Uncle Six, don't worry, Datang has negotiated with the relevant departments in mainland China and asked for an opening to allow us to go to Jianghan City to set up a cable TV network. This is the first foreign-controlled cable TV network in mainland China." Media. So there is a huge shortage of experienced employees. Even if they can’t do it, they can still be teachers in training classes.”

This peach originally belonged to Yu Pinhai, but this bitch was used to being empty-handed. After setting up such a good project, he did not cherish the development. Instead, he misappropriated more than 100 million in funds loaned from the bank, and passed several The "firewall" launders money to Hong Kong Island for capital operations.

In the end, the game failed. This unformed TV network became the first and last foreign-controlled media. It also caused the big boss who approved the project to conduct a review... and the road was blocked. .

When Run Run Shaw heard this, his mouth almost watered. He had spent countless efforts to get TVB to broadcast it to the mainland.

Since 1984, the annual donation of 100 million has been to achieve this condition, but has been unable to do so.

Is there someone in the court who wants to be an official? The Li family has not yet taken over TVB, but they have already fulfilled his unfulfilled wish for more than ten years? !

Li Yuan smiled and comforted: "Excluding news and current affairs, there are only TV dramas, sports, cultural and educational programs. But it's good. TVB has so many experienced actors and technical talents, and you can be a teacher." Provide for your family.”

Mainland China's economy is about to usher in a new round of take-off, and ads can be sold for as much money as you want.

The current conversion rate of TV advertising is far from what it will be in later generations.

In a few years, after the separation system of production and broadcasting is formed, another golden river will flow.

As long as you don't touch news or current affairs, you'll be safe and sound.

In short, by opening this channel, TVB will win a golden job.

Run Run Shaw said with emotion: "The future life is scary, but it's okay, I can retire with peace of mind next year."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's not bad to be the principal of a training class. In the future, all practitioners in China's television industry will be your disciples. In the history of Chinese films, Uncle Liu has left an indelible mark on Shaw Brothers. If Such achievements have also been left in the history of television, Uncle Liu, even hundreds of years later, some people will still remember you as the founder of the Chinese film and television industry."

For a moment, Uncle Shao Liu's heart beat faster than when he saw the peerless beauty, and his breathing became rapid.

Li Xing: "..."

Compared with his father, he is still far behind.

After bidding farewell to Run Run Shaw, father and son Li Yuan and Li Xing took a walk back to Central. They stood on their pier and looked at Victoria Bay.

"Tell Ah Zhi that the news about Yu Pinhai will be fully broadcast tonight."

Li Yuan said lightly.

Li Xing was surprised and said: "Dad, didn't you give Cha Sheng three days?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "If he is rational, he can naturally do this. But since the sixth uncle said that Yu Pinhai looks like his late eldest son, that is not a rational state. A father can tolerate most of his son's mistakes. Let’s just give him a hand.”

Li Xing nodded, paused, and softly comforted: "Dad, grandpa..."

Li Yuan waved his hand, interrupted Li Xing's words, and said: "I'm not as fragile as you think. I can accept my grandfather's death and be calm. If you do your job well, the polar bears will have to increase their efforts. Tell the Strategy Bureau, We must unblock the channels of major design bureaus at all costs. The Southern Design Bureau in Kiev is a top priority."

How good is Southern Design Bureau?

Putting aside the more than two thousand nuclear bombs, Maozi's most powerful doomsday missile, the Satan, comes from here. Russia's Satan requires personnel from the Southern Design Bureau to maintain it.

Coupled with the peak-level shipbuilding industry, it has three aircraft carriers and more than 6,000 high-level tanks.

The industrial technology reserves of the Southern Design Bureau, such as special steel material technology, are almost priceless treasures that cannot be missed.

Li Xing was a little confused: "Dad, there are some things that are not easy to handle over there. ClA's power there is too strong. We have lost six or seven people."

Li Yuan held on to the railing and said, "Let them hold on a little longer. I will go there in person in the next half year."

This year is the founding year of Datang!

Looking far away, the sea breeze blows.

1991, 1991...
