Wei Ming was in a good mood after hearing this. "Okay, if you have this kind of heart, your father will be very pleased if you know the truth." Wei Ming was very satisfied with Guo Yongren's answer.
"Yongren, what do you think of the future of Hong Kong?" Wei Ming asked. Even though Guo Yongren doesn't have much property now, he is still a member of a wealthy family. He can still represent the opinions of some people even though he is usually influenced by his ears and eyes.
"The reunification of the motherland is the wish of every Chinese son and daughter. My father always told me this." Guo Yongren said this with a serious face. Wei Ming nodded. Yes, the Guo family still loves the motherland.
The two chatted for a while, and their titles also changed. Guo Yongren called Wei Ming uncle Wei, and Wei Ming called Guo Yongren his nephew. The relationship between the two was strengthened.
It was almost noon before Guo Yongren said goodbye and left. Wei Ming personally sent him downstairs. Watching Guo Yongren leave in the car, Guo Yongren did not go home immediately, but went to Zhouji Restaurant for dinner.
Needless to say, Boss Zhou is definitely welcoming. It’s the same as before, still the same window seat, four dishes, one soup, and two glasses of wine.
Guo Yongren still tipped over a hundred more, and was so happy that Boss Zhou personally delivered it to the door. He then went to Fang Zhan's comrades and bought a dozen cartons of cigarettes before returning home.
Guo Yongren's days continued to be regular. Exercise made his body start to change again. The increase in height that had stopped before started again.
It used to be that I was suppressed by the unhappiness in business and the pressure in the bank. Now I am no longer suppressed. With systematic exercise and nutritional supplements, my secondary growth has begun.
Time passed quickly, and it was already June. During this period, Uncle Fang had another job, which was to collect newspapers. Guo Yongren ordered seven or eight newspapers to collect his own information.
In the evening, Guo Yongren always goes to bed after reading the newspaper. Today is no exception. He laughed after reading it. Yes, this is about to begin. He is in a good mood. Bao Yugang has left Hong Kong. Everything is following the trajectory of history.
develop.
It was early June, and at the annual meeting of Wharf directors, Jardine Matheson boss Niu Bijian asked each director to introduce their recent major arrangements. Bao Yugang did not doubt anything else, so he talked about his travel arrangements:
First he went to Paris to attend the International Tanker Conference, and then to Frankfurt to attend the banking conference (Bao Yugang is a director of HSBC).
Then there was London. He received a sincere invitation from the Chinese community in London to attend the Dragon Boat Festival during the Dragon Boat Festival. The folks missed me and must go and see it.
Finally, he flew to Mexico to have a chat with President Pauldillo.
Niubijian, the head of Yihe, calculated with his fingers that this trip would take more than ten days. He was secretly happy that it was a God-given opportunity, so he held the Lord's hand - I wish you a faster journey!
Just before Bao Yu left, the Jardines Department began to raise ammunition. As soon as the Lord left, he immediately held a secret meeting and prepared to open fire. After all, the Jardines Department was an old foreign company, and it was a fierce artillery attack.
On the morning of June 20, 1980, major newspapers in Hong Kong published huge advertisements for Jardine Matheson and its subsidiary Land Company - Jardine Matheson will purchase 2 new shares of Land Company and 10% coupon bonds with a face value of HK$75.6, with a total market value of
The price of 100 Hong Kong dollars was exchanged for one Wharf stock. The current price of Wharf was 70 Hong Kong dollars, and the acquisition price was 30 Hong Kong dollars higher than the current price. The Jardines Group was very ambitious.
When the Wharf takeover war started, the ground shook, flames shot into the sky, and the whole Hong Kong was shaken.
The melon-eating audience was dumbfounded, rich man! Willful!
That night, Guo Yongren looked at this report and laughed to the sky, shouting loudly, thank God for blessing, this time, there is no problem with his first pot of gold.
After all, Bao Yugang was Bao Yugang. After getting the news, he immediately returned to Hong Kong. Before boarding the plane, he had a phone call with the chief and deputy heads of HSBC Bank and agreed to have breakfast together on the morning of the 21st.
As explained before, HSBC has huge interests in Bao Yugang's Global Group. It is the second largest shareholder of Bao Yugang's Global Group. Therefore, although HSBC and Jardine Matheson are both British-owned banks, their own interests come first. Yes.
On the morning of the 21st, the two brothers met and found out that Bao Yugang received a HK$1.5 billion loan from HSBC, which shows how deep the relationship between HSBC and Bao Yugang is.
"Old Bao, I checked and found out that a client in our securities department holds 7 million shares of Wharf stock. You can take it directly." Shen Porridge, the chairman of HSBC Bank, took a sip of milk and said to Bao Yugang.
Bao Yugang was overjoyed. At this time, these seven million shares played a big role. "Old Shen, please take the trouble. I will meet him today and try to win it directly." Bao Yugang said with certainty. Don't be sloppy
"Okay, let's go back to the bank now, and I'll help you make an appointment with him." Shen Zhou agreed directly without saying anything. He replied that he was the second largest shareholder of Bao Yugang Global Group and had vital interests, so he had to help.
The three of them didn't eat and returned directly to the bank. The deputy manager went to handle the loan business, and Shen Zhou started making phone calls in his office.
Guo Yongren's phone number is available in the securities department. Shen Chou wanted to know it very easily. It didn't take long and the call was connected. "Hello, this is Guo Mansion." An old voice came over.
"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Guo Yongren," Shen Zhou asked politely.
"Excuse me, where are you from?" Uncle Fang who answered the phone asked.
"I am from HSBC. If you have something urgent, please contact Mr. Guo Yongren." Shen Zhou said directly and gave the name of HSBC. In this day and age, not many people in Hong Kong dare not to give HSBC face.
"Okay, please wait a moment. I'll call the young master." Uncle Fang said, put down the phone, and went to find Guo Yongren.
Bao Yugang, who was sitting opposite Shen Chu, heard clearly, Guo Yongren, and muttered, Guo Mansion, who could it be? He knew no one with the surname Guo, but no one named Guo Yongren, that was for sure.
Forget it, never mind, as long as he is willing to sell the stock, there will be no problem. Now is not the time to get to the bottom of it. Every minute and second now is urgent for him.
When Guo Yongren heard what Uncle Fang said, there was a burst of joy on his face. He knew that what he had been waiting for was coming. He took a few deep breaths and went downstairs to answer the phone.
"Hello, I am Guo Yongren, who are you?" Guo Yongren's voice came over, very calm.
"Hello, I am Shen Chou, the chairman of HSBC Bank. Can you come over now? I want to talk to you about the Wharf stocks in your hand. Someone wants to buy them at a high price." Shen Chou didn't hide anything and was straightforward. got to the point.
"It's Wharf stocks again," Guo Yongren said intentionally, paused, and did not speak immediately.
When the two people opposite heard this word, they both became nervous. At this time, the only people who cared about Wharf stocks were Yihe and Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang was here, so it goes without saying.
