"This transaction was a major victory for Mr. Li Ka-shing. It was the most successful acquisition since the listing of Changjiang Industrial. It was better than the plan to acquire Hutchison Whampoa last year. It used very little funds and controlled more assets. Mr. Li Ka-shing is not only a strong man in the real estate industry, but also a hot big shot in the stock market..." (Note 1)

Shen Chong sat in the VIP waiting room with a smile on his lips, browsing the financial commentary of "Xinbao" called "A Transaction to the Sky".

On September 25, Li Ka-shing and HSBC finally reached an acquisition agreement to acquire 90 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa's common shares at a price of 7.1 per share, with a total price of HK$639 million. Only a down payment of 20% is required, and the remainder can be extended. The 20% down payment is the loan approved by HSBC to Li Ka-shing the day before...

Li Ka-shing refused to give up a penny and swallowed Hutchison Whampoa worth billions, achieved the most brilliant victory in his life, and reached the highest level of acquisition. After this battle, he advanced from a successful businessman to a legendary businessman, and ranked first in the Chinese businessman.

At midnight on the 25th, Cheung Kong Industrial and HSBC Bank announced news at the same time, and the whole of Hong Kong was in an uproar. In the past two days, almost all newspapers' front-page headlines have been news about this shocking acquisition case.

“Flights from Taipei to Hong Kong are about to arrive…”

After the sweet radio sounded, Chen Chong put away the newspaper, stood up, and walked towards the passenger exit. He was here to pick up Zhang Aijia. She was worried about Hu Jinquan and came by on the morning flight.

As soon as they met, Chen Chong whistled - Zhang Aijia was wearing a black windbreaker and blue jeans, which was pleasing to the eye and very consistent with his aesthetic.

Zhang Aijia took off her sunglasses, smiled, gave him a blank look, and then hurriedly asked, "How is it? How are you talking to Hu Shuru?"

"Beautiful girl, ask me the serious matter when we meet." Chen Chong took the lever of the suitcase from her hand and said with a bitter face: "This hurts me very much."

Zhang Aijia stood still, staring at him with big black and white eyes, bulging his mouth and not speaking.

"Okay, okay, you won." Chen Chong shrugged, made a surrender expression and said, "Boss Hu was not at home last night and could not find him, but I found Huang Zhan and he promised to help him make a concerted relationship."

Zhang Aijia's tense face melted. She smiled and said, "This is a serious matter. I'm afraid you won't care."

It seems that Hu Jinquan's status is really not low in her heart.

If there is a disciple like this, Lao Hu should be relieved...

"How dare I not be careful about what you always told me." Chen Chong put down his emotions, laughed, and said, "Let's go, you don't have much time to rest. Let's go directly to Hu Jinquan's house to take a look."

"Am I very old..." Zhang Aijia tapped him gently and said as she walked: "You don't know about Teacher Hu's temper. He is stubborn and hard. If he can't handle it well, I'm afraid he will suffer."

"It's really troublesome for Hu Jinquan." Chen Chong dragged his suitcase and said shamelessly: "For me, this is a piece of cake. In Hong Kong, there is nothing I can't solve."

"You never have any reliable words and can't believe you, otherwise I wouldn't come to Hong Kong on purpose."

"Is there any? I have no choice. I am known as the little Zhuge in Xiangjiang. I can't be more reliable."

"Will reliable people spread the word everywhere to open a harem and look for confidantes all over the world?"

"The hero is sad to pass the beauty. The more lustful the hero is, the more capable he is..."

The two of them joked casually and walked to the parking lot of the airport. Shen Chong took Zhang Aijia to a black Jaguar XJ.

"You can drive?"

"It's been a long time ago." Chen Chong opened the trunk, put the box in, and said, "I learned it when I was in the mainland. I only got my Hong Kong driver's license a few days ago, and then I bought this car."

"This car is very expensive." Zhang Aijia stroked the ridge of the car with her fingers and said curiously: "A Chong, can you buy the Rubik's Cube in it? How much money can you earn? "

"You underestimate the Rubik's Cube too much." Chen Chong opened the co-pilot's door, made a call, and said, "The daily profit of the Rubik's Cube can buy several Jaguars."

Shen Chong had no interest in sports cars, and the appearance of the four-door RV in the 1970s was very few that matched his aesthetic taste. The classic Jaguar XJ was one of them. At this time, Jaguar had not been acquired yet and was one of the top luxury car brands in the UK. It was more suitable to drive it to attend various occasions.

Under Zhang Aijia's guidance, Chen Chong quickly found Hu Jinquan's residence.

I knocked on the door and opened it with a woman who looked in her thirties, with thick shawl hair, medium-looking and haggard face.

"Jia Jia, why are you here?" The woman was quite surprised when she saw Zhang Ai Jia, "When did you come to Hong Kong?"

"Just arrived." Zhang Aijia stepped forward, held her hand intimately, and introduced: "Sister Ling, this is my friend, Chen Chong, A Chong, this is Mrs. Hu's wife, the great writer Zhong Ling."

"What a great writer, it's embarrassing to say it." Zhong Ling and Shen Chong nodded and greeted, then turned their bodies to welcome him, and said, "Come in quickly."

Hu Jinquan has worked hard in the film industry for many years and has a rich income. The house has a large space, about 2,000 feet, and the decoration and furniture are very ancient. Small antique objects can be seen everywhere in the house. There are many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, which look extraordinary, demonstrating the owner's extraordinary taste and artistic temperament.

Zhang Aijia took off her windbreaker and changed her shoes while asking impatiently: "Sister Ling, where is Teacher Hu?"

“In the study.”

Chen Chong's ear tips, and he heard someone talking vaguely inside, and asked, "Director Hu has any guests?"

"We came two friends who had filmed the show together before." Zhong Ling said: "They also heard about Lao Hu and came to help find a solution."

"Who is it?" Zhang Aijia changed her shoes, stood up, and said, "Do I know each other?"

"It should be known." Zhong Ling said unsure, "They are all from Jiahe."

At this time, a full voice came from the study: "Xiaoling, who is here?"

"Jia Jia is not an outsider, you can go in by yourself." Zhong Ling took Zhang Aijia's windbreaker and said, "I'll make tea."

Chen Chong followed Zhang Aijia and walked into the study, but was surprised to find that the visitors were Sammo Hung and a tall and thin middle-aged man.

"Teacher Hu." Zhang Aijia first greeted Hu Jinquan respectfully, and then introduced: "This is my friend, Chen Chong."

"Hello, Director Hu." Chen Chong hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with King Hu. This undisputed master of martial arts films and the director with the highest artistic achievements in the Hong Kong film industry. "I have long admired Director Hu's name and it is a great honor to meet him today."

Hu Jinquan has a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a typical northern Chinese man with a face. Although he is in a dispute and has a bad condition recently, he is calm and has no down-and-out spirit.

Zhang Aijia went to work in Jiahe and worked behind the scenes. She was very familiar with Jiahe. She naturally knew both visitors and introduced to Chen Chong: "This is Brother Han Han Yingjie, this is Brother Sanmao, you should know him."

"Hello." After Chen Chong shook hands with Han Yingjie, he nodded and smiled at Sammo Hung and said, "Brother Sanmao, we're meeting again."

Sammo Hung smiled silly and said, "Boss Shen, long time no see."

Sammo Hung has filmed several blockbuster scenes in a row, and is very popular in Jiahe. He is also a senior brother who is popular with Jackie Chan. In the past year, he has been very active in the film industry. "The Movie Age" has interviewed him more than once, so Chen Chong naturally met him.

But Hu Jinquan is in trouble, so why are Sammo Hung coming to join in?

He seems to have nothing to do with Hu Jinquan...

Hu Jinquan's study room is very large, with a desk next to the window, and four or five chairs are placed around it, but it is still not crowded. I guess he will meet guests here on weekdays.

After Zhong Ling brought the tea, she did not leave. She sat next to Hu Jinquan and asked, "Jia Jia, what's wrong with you coming to Hong Kong?"

"I heard about Teacher Hu yesterday." Zhang Aijia said, "I ran over and saw if there is anything I can help."

"You girl, you are so nonsense." Hu Jinquan frowned and said, "I'm fine, nothing is there. What are you doing? I don't need help. You have a meal at home at noon and go back in the afternoon."

Zhong Ling looked at Hu Jinquan with a little resentment and said, "Jiajia, who did you hear about Lao Hu?"

"Sister Xu Feng told me." Zhang Aijia asked: "Is it true that she said Boss Luo and Boss Hu are going to sue Teacher Hu?"

"It's true." Zhong Ling plucked her hair and said with a frown: "They came to the door with the contract and asked Lao Hu to mortgage the company's assets and houses to compensate them for their losses. Lao Hu disagreed, so they said they wanted to take the contract to court for lawsuits."

"These two philanthropists are too bullying!" Hu Jinquan was a hot temper and was very angry about it. He said loudly: "I agreed to invest in making a movie for me. Now I lose money, but I ask me to wipe my butt. It's really outrageous!"

"Teacher Hu, don't be angry. They did something wrong." Zhang Aijia quickly comforted her. She threw her eyes and signaled Chen Chong to speak.

"Director Hu, can you show me the contract?" Chen Chong boasted and said, "I have some experience in commercial contracts to see if there are any loopholes in it."

"What's so good about it!" Hu Jinquan was still excited, "They got a ghost contract to cheat me, I don't recognize this contract!"

Zhong Ling sighed, stood up, took out a booked document from the desk and handed it over.

Chen Chong took the contract and looked carefully.

Sammo Hung said, "Director Hu, Boss Luo and Boss Hu are both rich and powerful people. You should be careful about this matter. If it starts, the impact will be bad."

Hu Jinquan raised his eyebrows and said with confidence: "Everyone knows that there are risks in making movies. If you lose money, the director will have to fill in the gap. Who dares to make movies in the future? They dare not fight such lawsuits!"

"Old Hu, I have received the lawyer's letter, and you are still saying that they dare not sue." Zhong Ling was obviously deeply resentful and said in a mess: "I have found several lawyers to read this contract. They all said they wanted to sue, and they lost more than they won. At that time, I advised you not to sign this contract. If you don't listen, you have to sign..."

Hu Jinquan was so angry that his veins burst out, and he was about to explode. Seeing this, Zhang Aijia quickly persuaded him: "Sister Ling, don't be anxious. A Chong is very good at it. He said he could find someone to make a move and he would not sue."

"Yes, Director Hu, please relax." Sammo Hung also said, "Boss Shen is a person with great ability. As soon as I saw him just now, I knew that this matter would not be possible."
