Xiangjiang area, Mandarin Hotel.

This hotel is an asset of Jardine Matheson. Somewhat ironically, Rong Renyi and Li Chaoren, two of the top Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong Island, plotted a shocking drama against Jardine Matheson here.

When it comes to Xiangjiang at the moment, who does Zhao Wenmu admire the most?

There is no doubt that it is Rong Renyi. This person is the top Chinese businessman in Hong Kong Island in terms of qualifications, strength and reputation.

In terms of personal relationship, he is also the closest to him.

Besides the Rong family, Li Chaoren ranked second as expected.

The richest man who later jumped off the ship early and ran away is still a very courageous business leader.

And he will soon aspire to be the richest man in Hong Kong.

Unlike Rong Renyi, who is tall and looks as bold as the sea, Li Chaoren wears gold-rimmed glasses and an expensive suit that is decent and elegant. He has a scholarly demeanor that is gentle and polite, but he is also shrewd and mature.

The five-star Mandarin Hotel is an important property of the Jardine Matheson Group. It is famous for its nobility, luxury and high-quality services. It has been ranked among the top ten hotels in the world several times.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two big guys walked into the quiet Accord.

Zhao Wenmu and another middle-aged man followed the two into it.

Zhao Wenmu originally thought he would meet the eldest son of the Li family who had invested in Penguin, but missed its future success.

After all, he was not familiar with the eldest son of the Li family, and he didn't know that he was still a 15-year-old boy.

It is naturally impossible for Li Chaoren to bring a child to meet a big boss like Rong Renyi.

What's more, the other party told him on the phone that he wanted to negotiate a big deal.

"Hello, Uncle Superman! I have heard all kinds of legends about you countless times in the Mainland and in Xiangjiang. Today I finally saw your true face. I am extremely worried. If I am rude, please forgive me!"

After Rong Ren introduced him, Zhao Wenmu bowed respectfully to Li Chaoren.

"The mainland is really full of outstanding people and heroes. There are many heroes! Mr. Zhao is young and handsome, with extraordinary bearing. His achievements in the future will not be lower than those of you and me!"

Li Chaoren looked at Rong Renyi and said with a smile.

Naturally, Li Chaoren would not look down upon the young people from the mainland that Rong Renyi had brought over on a special trip. These words were half true and half false. They were both a compliment and an acknowledgment of Rong Renyi's eyes.

But he didn't expect that Rong Renyi nodded in agreement with a very serious expression:

"Li Sheng, you have to work harder, otherwise the young people will catch up soon!"

After the four of them sat down, before Li Chaoren could speak, Rong Ren asked bluntly:

"Li Sheng, Hutchison Whampoa, are you interested?"

Li Chaoren took a breath.

Even though he was as calm as he was, when he heard this question, he still couldn't help but his heartbeat stopped for half a beat.

Then it started pounding and jumping wildly.

He looked at Rong Renyi.

The middle-aged man accompanying him stood up suddenly, looked around the room, and then stood guard at the door of the Accord.

Rong Renyi asked casually and smiled lightly on his face, but Li Chaoren saw the sincerity in his eyes.

The other party was not kidding.

Yes, how could Rongsheng joke about something like this?!

Hutchison Whampoa, if you eat it, you will be able to stand on the top of the Xiangjiang River in an instant.

The Yangtze River Corporation swallows up this behemoth, and then develops the attractive land resources in its hands into shopping malls, office buildings, and high-end residences, so as to realize the complementarity of the financial and real estate sectors.

Of course Li Chaoren had imagined this kind of wonderful future.

However, the strength is not enough.

How could it be so easy to swallow ten times your own body weight of wagyu?

HSBC is now at its peak. How can he take Hutchison Whampoa out of HSBC's mouth? This is nothing more than a dream.

However, once Rongren came forward, things changed.

Rong Renyi has been a director of HSBC for nearly 20 years. His network resources are immeasurable and he has a high say within HSBC.

Moreover, Li Chaoren also knew very well that in recent years, HSBC's new chief executive, Shen Bi, had intended to suppress the Rong family. After a series of battles, instead of getting any benefits, he began to suffer backlash.

Shen Bi must be interested in making good friends with the Rong family again at this moment.

In the matter of Hutchison and Huang, Shen Bi is very likely to give the Rong family face.

With the support of Shen Bi and Rong Renyi, buying Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC is no longer impossible!

Thinking of this, Li Chaoren's heart agitated.

What a wonderful tomorrow is right in front of us!

Thinking of this, Li Chaoren no longer hesitated and said decisively:

"Rongsheng, Hutchison is what I want! If you can help me win Hutchison, Yangtze River will definitely repay you in a heartfelt manner!"

In a flash, the boss immediately figured out why Rong Renyi did what he did.

Wharf!

"I am willing to sell 10% of my shares to Brother Rong at a discount to help you win the Wharf!"

Li Chaoren quickly added.

Rong Ren was about to agree, but was interrupted by Zhao Wenmu:

"Uncle Superman, you should have more than 10% of Wharf shares, right?"

His question was blunt and rude, which made Li Chaoren feel quite embarrassed for a moment.

Rong Ren immediately smoothed things over:

"Ah Mu, you don't know something. As long as I have 10% more shares, I can join the board of directors of Wharf."

Li Chaoren laughed twice and said calmly:

"To be honest, Xiao Zhaosheng, I do have 18% of Wharf shares in my hand, but this is what I estimate. Rongsheng should have enough to join the board of directors if he has 10% of the shares."

Zhao Wenmu was not satisfied with this answer.

They all know that for Rong Renyi, just joining the Wharf board of directors is not enough.

He must use thunderous momentum to acquire 51% of the shares and gain absolute control of Wharf.

Otherwise, it is likely to face counterattack from Yihe.

As the current controlling party, Jardine Matheson has many means to counterattack, including increasing the price to acquire the equity held by retail investors, issuing private shares to dilute the Rong family's shareholding ratio, adopting poison pill plans, etc.

Once the sword is drawn, Eong Renyi must not give the opponent time to breathe.

Otherwise, it is likely to fall short.

Even if the acquisition is successful, it will come at a huge cost.

This acquisition had a historic impact on Hong Kong Island, so many articles and self-media wrote about this merger and acquisition battle.

Zhao Wenmu is no stranger to its ending.

In his previous life, Rong Renyi suffered a miserable victory.

Although magnified to ten or twenty years, the Rong family made a huge profit from this transaction. But at that time, the Rong family suffered a tragic victory.

He was forced to acquire the remaining equity from retail investors, Niu Bijian and Li Chaoren at a very high price.

This time, Zhao Wenmu naturally did not allow this to happen.

What's more, once he eats Hutchison Whampoa, Li Chaoren will become the richest man in Hong Kong in an instant.

The benefits he can gain from this transaction are immeasurable!

Rong Renyi provided him with such huge help, but he only sold 10% of Wharf shares to Rong Renyi.

It’s a sale, not a gift!

Isn't that too greedy?

In this case, let yourself be the one doing the bad job.

Anyway, I am young and ignorant.

Uncle Superman will definitely not care about it, right?
