0311 [Losing rights and humiliating the country! 】
Shek Kip Mei, new factory.
"Miss Bertie, do we really want to sell our factory?"
"Yes, it was finally built with great difficulty. If we sell the factory, where will we people go to make a living?"
“The waterworks don’t want people like us!”
"I heard that water supply in water plants is mechanized, and we old men are illiterate."
"Yeah, I can't even help with small things like checking the electricity meter and registering the water bill!"
A large group of poor people from Shek Kip Mei gathered in front of Platte and said one after another.
Platte looked at these people and the newly built factory, which had not even purchased the machinery and equipment yet, but now it was about to be resold, and her heart ached.
"I'm sorry, everyone. This matter was decided by the company, and I can't do anything about it." Boletti apologized to everyone.
"Everyone, please stop crowding around Miss Bertie!" Liu Sange, who lives in Shek Kip Mei, stood up. "Whether the factory is sold or not is a matter for the higher authorities. What we all have to do now is to protect our water tower!"
"Yes, protecting the water tower is the main business now!" Uncle Prawn also stood up.
"I heard that Boss Li is very lonely. If he buys this factory, he will tear down the water tower we donated money to build!"
"How could that be? We built this water tower ourselves, who cares?"
"You have a funny brain! I run a water plant, and what I sell is drinking water. Now that you have free water, how can I do business?" Liu Sange thinks a lot, and he couldn't eat it before.
Avoid losses in this area. "Capitalists love to make money, and they don't care whether you live or die!"
When Brother Liu San said this, these poor people were all thrown into confusion.
"What can I do?"
"Yes, you can get free water right now!"
"Miss Platte, is what he said true?"
This group of people were poor and uneducated, so they could only hold on to Platte as a life-saving straw and ask questions.
Platte didn't want to deceive them.
She had read the signed contract, and the terms on it were very clear. After the factory was sold to Yangtze River Corporation, all facilities in the factory, including the water tower to be built in the factory, could be handled by Yangtze River Corporation on its own.
"I'm sorry, everyone! I will report this matter to the superiors, and I hope the people at Yangtze River Industrial Company will be merciful."
"What do you mean? Do they really dare to tear down this water tower?"
Everyone in Shek Kip Wei was stunned.
"That's what it says in the contract!" Boletti looked ashamed.
"Push to the street!" someone yelled, "I'll see whoever dares to come and dig up our water tower!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw smoke billowing in front of him and machines roaring.
When everyone heard the sound, their eyes widened and they looked toward the place filled with dust and smoke.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
An excavator and a bulldozer came side by side.
Behind the excavators and bulldozers were three large trucks. The trucks were full of people, all armed with sticks and wearing security uniforms. They were all tough.
"Those people are..."
"They are from Cheung Kong Holdings!"
"What are they going to do?"
Bertie was also stunned.
She didn't understand why Shi Zhijian insisted on signing a replacement contract with Yangtze River Industries. After all, the factory in front of her was her hard work, but the matter was irreversible, so she could only think of the best.
But the scene before her was beyond her imagination.
"Everyone, calm down and don't be impulsive! Don't give them an excuse to take action!" Bertie is thoughtful and thinks a lot.
The poor people in Shek Kip Mei behind her were already ready to make a move.
"Listen to Miss Bertie, don't be impulsive!" Liu Sange, Uncle Da Xia and others stood up and shouted.
Soon, the mighty motorcade arrived in front of us.
The excavators and bulldozers were parked at the front, and a tall and powerful man jumped out of the excavators.
The man was wearing a light green security uniform, a security hat, and a cigarette in his mouth. He walked over in a very arrogant manner, lifted his pants, and scratched his crotch, looking at Jiaoyan with a leering look.
The flowery Bertie said, "Beautiful girl, why are you blocking our way?"
"What are you driving here to do?" Boletti asked.
"What to do? Of course we have to demolish the water tower!" The sturdy man spit out his cigarette on the ground, "I am the security supervisor of Cheung Kong Holdings. My name is Spitfire Hua. You can just call me Brother Hua! Don't worry, I'm not a bad person.
We are very procedural!”
After saying that, Spitfire Hua opened his sleeves and looked at his watch, "The time is not up yet. We won't start working until your boss Shi Zhijian signs a contract with our big boss!"
After saying that, he pointed forward and said: "When the time comes, we will not only tear down your water tower, but also level down your factory! How to make instant noodles? The big boss said that selling water is the most profitable way!"
…
Peninsula Hotel Hong Kong.
This time, Li Jiacheng generously booked the entire Western restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel as the venue for this cocktail party.
It was said to be a reception, but due to the deliberate publicity of Yangtze River Corporation, many people knew that this was actually a surrender meeting.
The winner is Li Jiacheng and the loser is Shi Zhijian.
The two people, who originally had little contact in the business world, had to sign a contract to exchange land this time.
Shi Zhijian transferred the newly built factory in Shek Kip Mei to Li Ka-shing.
Li Jiacheng transferred the 3,000 acres of land in Tsuen Wan to Shi Zhijian.
Why is Shi Zhijian said to be a loser?
Because although the land in Tsuen Wan is valuable, it has no development prospects and cannot be developed at all.
On the contrary, everyone knew that Li Ka-shing wanted to take over Shek Kip Mei and build a waterworks.
What is the best place to make money in Hong Kong?
Besides water, it’s electricity!
If there is no electricity, you can use kerosene lamps.
Without water, you will die immediately.
…
The black Bentley drove slowly.
As Shi Zhijian's bodyguard and driver, Chen Huimin was concentrating on driving the car and didn't care at all about the crowds gathering in front of the hotel.
Shi Zhijian looked outside the car and saw that the outside was already crowded with media reporters.
Liu Jianxiong and Su Youwei, who were sitting with him, felt uncomfortable all over.
Liu Jianxiong feels uncomfortable because he is a surrenderer tonight and is a member of the losing camp.
On the surface, both parties signing this contract are equal.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shi Zhijian is much shorter.
There are rumors outside that it was Shi Zhijian who took the initiative to go to Li Jiacheng to beg for land replacement. He knelt in front of Boss Li and cried bitterly for a long time before he succeeded.
There were also rumors that Shi Zhijian's Shek Kip Mei factory was sanctioned by the British Hong Kong Land Bureau and could no longer operate, so he had to take this step.
There are also rumors that Shi Zhijian begged the three thousand acres of land from Boss Li in order to help the Shi family in Tsuen Wan.
In a word, Shi Zhijian can't compete with Li Jiacheng. Today's contract is said to be a land exchange, but in fact it is "land ceding and compensation."
Therefore, many news media have already written tomorrow's front page headlines -----
Shinhwa Corporation, which was rising in Hong Kong, had to lower its head in the face of the powerful Yangtze River Industries.
