Chapter 890 Intrigue
…
Not to mention Liu Dong, who is about to be sexually blessed, the atmosphere in the study room where the Li family is discussing matters is very solemn at this moment!
This time is different from last time. In addition to the Li Dewei couple, several brothers and sisters of the same generation who control other industries of the Li family are also prominently listed.
"Brother, I'm not too talkative. This time Mingchang's trouble was too big. It cost 500 million U.S. dollars, which is 4 billion Hong Kong dollars according to the current exchange rate. They all went out in one hour. If our Li family didn't have some wealth, I'm afraid
This family will be ruined by him!" A middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing heavy makeup and dressed like a lady, said sarcastically.
"That's right, no wonder he is called one of the four dandies outside. He lost 500 million US dollars in one fell swoop. He is really capable!" Another woman in her thirties, wearing a cheongsam, was even more polite.
!
However, the words of the two people made the women around Li Dewei angry. Their children were still their own children, and it was not their turn to speak!
"Mingchang is not good, and he has lost money to the Li family, but your Mingwei is good? I don't know whose child always abandoned him, and made the belly of a female college student grow bigger, but he turned his back and refused to recognize anyone else.
, let our Lee family be embarrassed in Hong Kong!"
"Who are you talking about? She turned against her. She was just falsely accusing our Mingwei and trying to defraud her of money!"
"Cheating money? Does cheating money lead to jumping off a building?"
"You're talking nonsense...!"
"Shut up, everyone, do you still think of me as the head of the family?" Li Dingchang yelled angrily, banging his cane on his head.
Li Dingchang's anger made the two daughters-in-law shut their mouths angrily!
Taking a look at Li Mingchang, who was sitting behind him with a gloomy face and dull eyes. He was completely devoid of his usual spirit and flamboyance. Li Dingchang sighed inwardly. He liked this grandson because he saw the youthful spirit in Li Mingchang.
When he was young, he was just as naughty, ignorant, and causing trouble!
But there's nothing wrong with being a dandy. Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young?
What's more, Li Mingchang, a wealthy kid who grew up with a golden key in his mouth!
Even though Li Mingchang lost 500 million US dollars in gambling this time, Li Dingchang was angry, but he did not completely give up on Li Mingchang. But looking at his current appearance, Li Dingchang was completely disappointed!
To him, a family heir who blindly escapes reality without thinking of solutions when facing difficulties is unqualified!
You can do something wrong, but you can't do it without responsibility!
Li Dingchang, who has been in charge of the Li family for decades, knows very well that any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, but if the person who controls the money admits defeat first, then there is no room for recovery.
Fortunately, the son he had cultivated for many years did not disappoint him, and the calmness on Li Dewei's face made him very satisfied!
"Dewei, have you found out the origin of Liu Dong?"
A person who can obtain less than a hundred Supreme Crown Cards issued by JP Morgan Chase Bank worldwide, and can also casually spend hundreds of millions of dollars on gambling. It is obvious that he has an extraordinary background. When formulating any means against the opponent, he must first
You need to know the other person’s details!
Only by knowing your enemy and yourself can you fight without danger!
"Yes, Father! All his information is here!"
With that said, Li Dewei handed the folder in his hand into his father's hand!
As soon as Li Dingchang opened the page and read a few lines, his expression suddenly became solemn. The further he read, the more surprised he became. After he had read all Liu Dong's information, his calm face showed a look of disbelief.
color!
It is indeed unbelievable. In less than two years, he started from scratch. He has a fortune of tens of billions. Such a genius. In most of his life experience, Li Dingchang is still the only one who has seen such a genius!
Regardless of whether Liu Dong relies on his own talent or has someone behind him to support him, just looking at his ability to reach his current status, you know that this person is not easy to get along with, and it is best not to offend him if he can do it!
"It's just that now the Li family has no choice!" Li Dingchang sighed secretly in his heart.
Cathay Pacific's 15.7% stake was accumulated bit by bit by Lee Family, in order to be able to swallow up this large civil airline that dominates Hong Kong and East Asia in one fell swoop when there is an opportunity in the future, so that Lee Family's industrial foundation will be stronger!
Therefore, Lijia will never give up these shares in vain, so another confrontation with Liu Dong is inevitable!
However, the previously formulated method against Liu Dong will definitely no longer work. How to deal with this difficulty next requires further discussion.
Thinking of this, Li Dingchang put down the information, thought for a moment and then said: "Except Dewei stay, everyone else should go out!"
After Li Dingchang finished speaking, the faces of the remaining sons and daughters clearly showed dissatisfaction!
Everyone's surname is Li, so they naturally hope to get more of the Li family's property after their father's death! The only way to get more of the Li family's property is through their father, so they all hope to stay, show their talents in front of their father, and then get involved.
A prosperous property!
"Dad, one person is responsible for the shortcomings and the other is responsible for the strengths. If we brothers stay, we can also give you and the eldest brother some advice!" After finishing speaking, Li Dechang winked at the younger brother next to him!
"Yes, Dad, let me and my second brother stay, we are also part of this family!" Li Deming said quickly.
Both of them understand that their father will definitely discuss important matters with their eldest brother next. Naturally, they don't want to miss this opportunity. If they don't show off in front of their father more when they have the opportunity, are they going to watch their eldest brother rise to power?
With a family fortune worth tens of billions, they are not willing to give up their inheritance rights so easily.
"Okay, you two stay, and everyone else can go out?" After thinking about it for a while, Li Dingchang nodded.
When he heard his father's decision, a hint of gloom flashed in Li Dewei's eyes. It was obvious that his father had transferred his dissatisfaction with Li Mingchang onto him and wanted to beat him!
"Just because you two want to compete with me for the position of head of the family, you are really overestimating your capabilities!"
Li Dingchang can naturally see the intrigue between the three sons, but he is not opposed to this kind of competition, because healthy competition is more likely to produce outstanding family successors. This is how he came here back then!
After watching everyone go out and only the father and son were left in the room, Li Dingchang spoke again: "Dewei, is there any news from the Ma family?"
"Yes, but they just called and refused!" Li Dewei said solemnly.
"Ma Tingqiang, a junior, is much better than Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen back then. If they had had half the forbearance and wisdom of their juniors, they wouldn't be in the situation they are now!" Li Dingchang sighed.
"Dad, the Ma family also lost nearly 500 million US dollars this time, are they just going to swallow this and forget it for nothing?" Li Dechang couldn't help but ask.
After looking at him indifferently, Li Dingchang said: "For us Chinese, or for the whole world, human relationships are always more important than money, especially in the business and political circles. It's only 500 million US dollars. In Malaysia
It is not difficult for the family to bear the current financial situation. In two or three years at most, they will be able to earn back the money! If we hadn’t been planning for Cathay Pacific for a long time and it was difficult to give up the 15.7% stake, I wouldn’t have
Would you offend a young talent with great promise and profound background just for 500 million US dollars!"
Although US$500 million is a lot, it can be earned back in just a few years. However, if you establish a young and powerful enemy, it will be a lifelong or even longer-term hostility, and the losses caused to the Lee family will be even greater.
Incalculable!
So if there is a choice, Li Dingchang will definitely choose the former like the Ma family!
It's a pity that he really can't bear to part with Cathay Pacific's shares. You must know that the Cathay Pacific strike was instigated by the Lee family behind it, in order to further increase his shares in Cathay Pacific. However, the accident of 9.11 further stimulated the Lee family's greater ambitions.
So after putting in so much effort, when he was about to reap the fruits of victory, he found that all his efforts were in vain. Naturally, Li Dingchang was unwilling!
However, after understanding Liu Dong's origins, he also knew that those secret methods were no longer useful because the side effects were too great!
"Dewei, go meet Liu Dong tomorrow and see if you can buy back the Cathay shares in his hands with money!" After some hesitation, Li Dingchang said.
Hearing the compromise in his father's words, Li Dewei was not surprised. He knew his father, and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages was always his first choice!
"Dad, what if he doesn't agree?" Li Dewei said.
"No!" Li Dingchang narrowed his eyes, "If you don't agree, we will gamble with him again and win back Cathay Pacific's shares from the gambling table!"
"Still betting?" Li Deming exclaimed.
He originally wanted to ask, but after seeing his two brothers remain silent, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Li Dingchang glanced at him and said nothing. Without having a stronger conflict with Liu Dong, he couldn't use money to buy back the shares, so the gambling table became the only option!
Fair and just, and no one will say anything if you lose!
"Father, the Cathay Pacific shares in Liu Dong's hands are worth US$400 million. I'm afraid our family doesn't have that much spare cash!" Li Dechang said.
"I know, I'll figure out the money thing, you don't have to worry about it!" After a pause, Li Dingchang waved his hand, "Okay, you all go down, Dewei will do what I say tomorrow! ...
...Oh, by the way, if Liu Dong agrees to bet, call the Ma family again. Ma Tingqiang has lost so much money, I'm afraid he feels a little unwilling! If he agrees to be with us, our Ma family will also be less
Take on some of the pressure!”
"I understand, father!" Li Dewei nodded.
"Well, go ahead!"
After waving his hands and letting his three sons leave, the study fell into silence again! (To be continued)
