Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 641 Step : Remove the fuel from under the cauldron

"Boom!"

"Beer!"

On the seventh floor of Swire Bank, in an office facing the southeast with the best lighting, there were harsh curses and slaps on the desk. Strangers should not come near.

This office, which is not often used, is the office of Noah Swire, CEO of Swire & Co., Ltd.——

After all, Swire Bank is the backbone and capital pool of the entire foreign bank.

There were only two people in the room at this time.

Hebrew Schweizer was standing in front of the beautifully carved European mahogany table. He had just been hit on the forehead by a thick copy of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". His gray hair was slightly messy and there was a red mark on his forehead.

The collar of Noah Schweizer's blue shirt was unbuttoned to the third button, revealing his brown and yellow chest hair. His blue and white striped tie hung loosely around his neck. On the mahogany table at his hand, there was a pile of newspapers scattered around.

These newspapers have two things in common:

First, they are all Chinese-owned newspapers.

Second, there is a piece of news on it that is not conducive to their family.

Moreover, just reading the headlines of those news will make people feel angry and chilled all over:

"An ancient history of fortune, and also a history of blood and tears of the Chinese people!" 》

"Don't forget history, remember hatred: ancient sins cannot be washed away!" 》

"Remember the past of selling "pig" in ancient times! 》

"How long can Swire Bank survive as a large number of people withdraw money?" 》

...

All these Chinese-owned newspapers and magazines have gone against the grain!

This pile on the table isn’t even all there is to it.

Noah Schweizer had never at that moment hated so much the so-called freedom of speech that came from the Eagle Country. Under this policy, there were surprisingly many newspapers, magazines and media in Hong Kong City. There were an astonishing number of more than five hundred on the ground.

Among them, Chinese capital accounts for more than half.

"Look at the good things you did. Is this what you said was no big deal?!"

Facing Noah's questioning, Hebrew defended: "Camila is not doing well. Also, this is definitely the work of the Dong family. If there is no one to support it, these media will definitely not dare to attack us like this."

The word "attack" is still a euphemism.

This is simply a crusade!

The problem is that they are still unable to hold these media accountable. Firstly, there are too many of them. Secondly, what they say is true. If there is a real commotion, it will only become darker and darker.

"Don't I know there's someone behind it? What I want now is a solution!" Noah roared.

Before facing this damn guy, I had never mentioned that the man named Li behind Kunlan had such a good relationship with the Dong family. The Dong Chuanwang family made it clear that they wanted to find a place for the other party, and they even did not hesitate to become enemies of their family.

"I think..." Hebrew looked at Xiaoyi and said, "Maybe you should go to the Governor's Mansion."

"Me?" Noah almost laughed angrily, stretched out his finger and poked it in the air, "伱! Go to see King Ship Dong immediately and do everything possible to calm the matter. Get out!"

Before Hebrew could reach the door, another voice came from behind. "Tell Camilla to come see me!"

Not long after, Camila came to the office. Noah got up from behind the desk, pounced on her like a tiger, threw her down on the European sofa by the window, strangled her neck with one hand, and lifted her skirt with the other. put.

Snapped!

The big furry hands slapped the snow-white skin.

Noah gasped roughly while gritting his teeth and said, "Take my words and turn a deaf ear? Damn it! Don't think you have any right to be proud in front of me."

Camila was kneeling on the European-style sofa, with a leather shoe trampling the side of her delicately made-up face, and there was excitement in her eyes.

"Ah...oh...I can't help it. That guy named Xu...ah...he moved his bedding to the newspaper building...oh..."
-

In the evening, Li Jiankun was enjoying the blessings of everyone when he received a call from Dong Haoyun.

The weather is getting hotter day by day. In the living room of the main building of the manor, Huang Yinzhu, Effie and Ding Zhaoling are all dressed in cool clothes.

Effie was wearing board shorts and a loose white shirt, sitting cross-legged on the sofa.

Huang Yinzhu was wearing a pair of light gray pure cotton shorts and a white vest. She was lying alone on the double sofa, her two legs as white as cream were bent up, and her pink feet were dangling.

Ding Zhaoling was wearing a white waist dress that didn't reach the knees. She was lying on her side on the corner of the sofa, with a large area of ​​white under her skirt.

The three girls stared intently at a 22-inch Sony color TV set on the mahogany TV cabinet next to the wall, which was playing the annual drama - "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: Iron Heart".

Li Jiankun has watched it at least ten times. But I also watched it with great interest - what could be more interesting than the beauties of summer?

Of course, he was just doing it to feel good. Unlike General Hengha who was chased upstairs by Miss Huang viciously. After driving him away, the three women no longer regarded him as an outsider.

"Mr. Dong, it doesn't matter if you expose yourself. It doesn't matter whether you are exposed or not. They already know that we are good friends. What I mean by not exposing is that you don't let them know that you are teaming up with the Charter King."

There are some things that are difficult to say to Mr. Dong. No matter who sees him, the aggressiveness of the Charter King is definitely a level higher than his, especially after the other party takes over the Wharf.

If Li Jiankun was befriending the chartering king, the current tense atmosphere in the Schweizer family would definitely mean more than just sending a Hebrew to come to sue for peace, the stock market would definitely keep a close eye on him.

Li Jiankun hooked the red microphone around his neck, and while talking to Dong Haoyun, he threw the peeled apple in the direction of a certain female uncle——

She was the only one in the entire manor who dared to instruct him to peel an apple.

Huang Yinzhu hurriedly pushed her buttocks out, sat up from the sofa, raised her two white hands, and made an alley-oop gesture.

call out!

The apple draws a parabola in the air. It didn't fall into Huang Yinzhu's hands. She scratched it several times but still didn't scratch it.

Boom!

The apple hit the armrest of the sofa, throwing up a few pieces, and then rolled onto the Persian carpet.

"Can you please be gentle? Look, it's all juice!" Miss Huang was furious and pointed at a wet stain on the armrest of the sofa. "Young man is really good at playing. Okay, okay, you play. According to what you said, I will go out to play in a few days. What kind of gameplay are you talking about?" Dong Haoyun's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Li Jiankun: "..."

Dong Haoyun naturally did not agree to Hebrew's request for peace, and did not even pay much attention to it. He was qualified both from the perspective of strength and status. But I didn't let Hebrews go in vain, let him clearly understand: Yes, that's right, I just want to fight with you.

so what?

Who doesn't have a powerful status in the "Japanese Empire"?

He doesn't want too many medals.

The British lobbied him many times to become a British citizen and to grant him a knighthood and the title of "Justice of the Peace", but he did not accept it.

Do not care.
-

A few days later, Dong Haoyun traveled to Southeast Asia, and his specific whereabouts were unknown. He was not avoiding the Shihuai family, but avoiding the Governor's Mansion. Just as he analyzed with Li Jiankun on the phone, within a week, the Hong Kong Governor's Office actually came forward.

However, Dong Chuanwang is not here, and the secret instructions are still being carried out. Not only him, but also the charter king and Li Chaoren quietly exerted their efforts.

The Hong Kong Governor's Office is just a question of whether to give face or not. The three of them take action at the same time. How dare several Chinese-owned media disobey orders?

The Shihuai Ya family also used many methods to calm down the matter, which was nothing more than coercion and inducement, which had some effect, but not much.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the time came to mid-June, entering the real summer season. The public opinion crusade against the Schweizer family has never stopped.

Strangely, Swire & Co.'s stock rose instead of falling, rising from HK$34 to HK$65 per share, an increase of nearly double.

Even if there is no shortage of speculators who are optimistic about the development trend of Taikoo Matheson and want to buy the bottom, such a rise under this situation is still not normal.

It’s time for the dog to smell something unusual.

At this point, Li Jiankun chose... a showdown. But before that, they had to do one last thing.

At noon on this day, the sun was fierce, and the light shining on the earth was almost incandescent.

HSBC Head Office, 1 Queen's Road, Central.

Two Rolls-Royce Silver Spurs, one champagne-colored and one silver-white, stopped in front of the building one behind the other.

The bodyguard opened the car door, and two men stepped out from the front and rear vehicles - two old men, one strong and one young.

The four of them walked into the building together, attracting side glances from the staff and customers handling business. Seeing these two old men walking together, even though they were not doing anything, was already a big news.

As for the young man, no one could recognize him, causing many people to whisper and speculate on his identity - walking side by side with these three, they could not even imagine that there was such a young man in the port city.

Thirteenth floor of HSBC Tower.

The bank lobby manager led the four people to a luxurious office.

Inside was a little fat old white man with dark eyebrows and thin silver hair combed back. This person is Shen Bi, the chairman of the board of directors of HSBC Bank.

People in Hong Kong call him the "King of Taipan".

The so-called Tai Pan is a colloquial term in Cantonese, which generally refers to people with a certain social status such as rich people, businessmen and compradors. The word "boss" in the mouth of the people in the market evolved from it.

The word "King" is named after the chief executive, mainly because Shen Bi is a very talented person. Under his leadership, HSBC's strength reached its peak.

Although Shen Bi is a British guy and has made some remarks that are beneficial to his country, he is not anti-Chinese. For example, he helped Pao Yugang buy a controlling stake in Wharf, and helped Li Jiacheng take over Hutchison Whampoa, and later recruited Li Jiacheng, Deng Lianru and others entered the HSBC board of directors.

Li Jiankun keeps his senses mid-range and unemotional.

But I came here today to ask for something, so I don’t mind showing a smile. When he was looking at Shen Bi, the latter was also looking at him.

"This must be the boss behind Quinlan Investments."

Before the four people came over, Bao Yugang hung up the phone.

Li Jiankun greeted him politely and handed over a black brocade box in his hand at the right time.

"Haha, I didn't expect to receive a gift." Shen Bi took it with a smile, opened it casually, his eyes were fixed, and he couldn't move away.

Shen Bi has a hobby: collecting famous watches.

After his retirement, he also compiled the collection into the book "Shen Bi's Collection of Watches". Using the best paper, the most sophisticated printing, and the layout design imitating the Morgan Group's watch collection monograph, a limited edition of one hundred copies was produced.

Lying quietly in the brocade box is a "Breitling" watch from the World War II period, limited to 99 pieces.

The original owner was an Eagle Country pilot with noble background, but his family fell into decline. This pilot watch ended up in Dong Haoyun’s collection.

The so-called do what you like.

After Shen Bi invited the four of them to sit down on the luxurious European-style sofa, he played with the "Breitling" and said, "Such a great gift. The four of you have come together as a group. What you want to do is not small. Why don't you talk about it first, and I will take a look." Do I dare to take this watch?"

"Daban Shen is joking. Whether it succeeds or fails, this watch belongs to you."

Li Jiankun made eye contact with the three people next to him. They were all acquaintances with Shen Bi. They looked like they were giving the new comrade a chance and gave him the right to speak.

Li Jiankun was slightly speechless. We are buying, not begging. What's there to be embarrassed about? Then he smiled and said: "It's a small thing. The 1000 million shares of Taikoo & Co. held by your bank."

Swish!

In less than two seconds, Shen Bi put the "Breitling" into the brocade box and stuffed it back.

Li Jiankun: "..."
