0677 [I don't know how to lift up!] (4000 word chapter)
"Is your young master staying here?" Shi Zhijian asked Ah Xiang.
"He's in the VIP guest room up there!" Axiang said with a grimace, "Mr. Shi, you are a good friend of my young master, go and see him! He, he -" Axiang mentioned "he" several times in a row, but couldn't.
This is why.
"I'll go see him!"
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he walked towards the hotel.
Behind him, Chen Huimin took out a cigarette and handed it to Ah Xiang, saying: "My condolences!"
Ah Xiang took the cigarette and wiped his tears, and said: "Our old man was a very good person, and he was also kind to our servants! He never beat or scolded him! I am so sad when he passed away! Wuwuwu!"
Dasha didn't understand this, so he took a bite of the sugar cane, handed it to A Xiang and said, "Why don't you take a bite of my sugar cane, it's very sweet!"
Axiang waved his hand: "Thank you! I'd better eat cigarettes!"
…
When Shi Zhijian came to the VIP room where Xu Shixun often stayed in the hotel, he was thinking about what words he should use to comfort him after meeting him.
After thinking about it, I decided to let it go and decide what to say and what not to say.
Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.
Creaking, the door opens.
A beautiful face looked at Shi Zhijian and asked: "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Xu Shixun and Xu Sanshao!"
The girl turned back and shouted: "Third Young Master, someone is looking for you!"
"Look for me, let him in! Haha!" It seemed that he was very happy.
…
In the VIP ward——
The coffee table is filled with various delicacies and snacks, candied fruits, raisins, crispbreads, beef jerky, as well as grapes, apples, big pears, etc.
Xu Shixun and the three girls were sitting on the floor, talking to the girls: "You don't know, one time I was listening to some music outside, and I came back late. Guess what? My old man was waiting for me in the living room!"
"It was three o'clock in the morning. He didn't even sleep and just read books and waited for me to get home. Then, he asked me to kneel down! I was already eighteen or nineteen years old at that time. I really wanted to save face. How could I kneel down? I was being slaved.
I was so embarrassed when I saw him! So I contradicted him, saying that he was a remnant of the Qing Dynasty, an old Buddha who was poisoned by feudal ideas!"
"Wow, Third Young Master, are you so majestic?"
"Yes, even the old man dares to contradict me!"
Three beauties gathered in front of Xu Shixun, holding their cheeks in their hands and looking at him with admiration.
Xu Shixun asked a beautiful woman to pick up a grape and put it in his mouth, and then he said proudly: "Of course! In the Xu family, although I am not as successful as my eldest brother and second brother, I dare to resist oppression and fight against
Fight against the patriarchy!”
Xu Shixun continued to brag while eating grapes: "You know what I said, there was another time I brought home a Cantonese actress I loved and secretly hid it in the bedroom. Guess what, the old man had some kind of hysteria and went to my room that day?
I was looking for something, but as a result, my plan to hide the beauty in the golden house was discovered by him! Then he yelled at me, which made me bloody, and he almost broke my legs with a broom! "
"I still remember what he said to me that time. It's fun to have fun, but don't take girls home easily, because those who can take them home will marry their wives! This is what you do to yourself
Respect is also respect for your future wife! You say he is not a country person, what age are you in, and he still talks about these stinky rules! Hahaha!"
Xu Shixun laughed wildly, and the three girls also giggled with him.
"Come on, I almost burst into tears when I think of those embarrassing things!" Xu Shixun wiped his eyes, then smiled and said to the girls: "I'm sorry, let's have a drink! Did I just give you a drink as a penalty?"
"Ahem, Mr. Xu, are you okay?" Seeing this, Shi Zhijian had to say something.
Xu Shixun then turned his head as if he had just seen Shi Zhijian, and said in surprise: "It's you, Ajian! Come on, please sit down quickly! You guy, you have been abroad for so long and you haven't contacted me! Do you know that I miss you so much?
! By the way, our Bobo misses you so much! Ever since I castrated him after listening to your words, he has always wanted to bite your trouser legs! Hahaha! This dog can also hold a grudge!"
A girl gave up a seat to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian took the opportunity to sit down. Xu Shixun personally picked up Hennessy XO and poured a full glass for Shi Zhijian: "Here, I'll punish you with one glass first!"
Shi Zhijian smiled and drank the glass of wine without saying a word.
He was so passionate that he stunned the three girls.
"Wow, what a drinker!"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
The girls looked at Shi Zhijian with admiration again.
Xu Shixun was jealous and said: "You girls have changed your mind. Is it because he drinks a lot or is he prettier than me? Look at you all, you look like a nympho!"
After Xu Shixun finished speaking, he said to Shi Zhijian: "You shouldn't have come back and stolen my limelight!"
Shi Zhijian smiled and said nothing. Instead, he picked up the wine and poured himself another glass. He raised it and said to Xu Shixun, "Here, let's have a drink!"
"Wow, you still dare to fight me for a drink?" Xu Shixun made an exaggerated gesture of rolling up his sleeves, "Seeing as your left hand is useless and still wrapped in a bandage, I'll let you have three drinks first!"
"Well done, Third Young Master!"
"Third Young Master, I support you!"
The girls rebelled again and became Xu Sanshao's biggest fans.
"You girls, you just talk! How can you support me without taking any practical actions? In the end, we don't just lie down on the big bed together, and I support three of them?!"
"Third Young Master, how good are you?"
"Yeah, it's so bad!"
"Haha, women don't love men unless they are bad! Come on, give me a kiss!" Xu Shixun pointed at his cheek.
"I'll do it!" The younger girl took the initiative to come up and, voila!, put a lip mark on Xu Shixun's cheek with her red lips.
"Hahaha! You're still smart! I'll reward you!" Xu Shixun said, taking out a wad of bills from his arms, counting a few and throwing them to the little girl.
"No, I want it too!"
"That's right, Third Young Master, you can't be too kind to one!"
The other two girls said angrily.
"Hahaha, okay, okay! You all have a share!" Xu Shixun directly threw the wad of banknotes up!
Money is raining down from the sky!
The girls rushed to grab it.
Xu Shixun looked at them and laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears.
Shi Zhijian raised his own glass, then picked up Xu Shixun's glass and handed it to him.
Xu Shixun smiled and clinked glasses with Shi Zhijian!
One cup!
Two glasses!
Three cups!
"Ajian, you have a good drinking habit after traveling abroad! I'm afraid I won't be able to beat you!" Xu Shixun said with a grin after finishing his drink.
After Shi Zhijian drank the wine, he wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, then looked at Xu Shixun and said: "My condolences!"
Xu Shixun's expression suddenly became strange, the smile on his face gradually faded, and tears slowly flowed from his eyes!
There were more and more tears, and he wanted to wipe them with his hands, stop them, stop them!
The tears kept gushing like a fountain!
"How could this happen? Haha, why am I crying? Haha, how embarrassing!" Xu Shixun kept wiping his tears, but the tears couldn't stop!
The girls were stunned and looked blankly at Xu Shixun, who was in tears.
Shi Zhijian waved to them, "You go out first!"
The girls looked at each other, stood up, put away their money, and picked up their coats and bags.
They went out quietly and closed the door, with a hint of surprise on their faces.
"You can cry now when we are gone!" Shi Zhijian said.
Xu Shixun can't bear it anymore!
I cried "Wow"!
He beat his chest hard and said to Shi Zhijian: "Ajian, do you know, it hurts here! It really hurts!"
Xu Shixun, crying bitterly!
…
The obituary of Lafayette Xu's death was quickly published in prominent places in Hong Kong's major newspapers and periodicals!
The death of a generation of shipping kings instantly caused thousands of waves in the Hong Kong River!
Not to mention that the competition for the inheritance among the three young masters of the Xu family will become fierce, but that the death of Mr. Xu has given countless careerists the opportunity to enter the shipping industry and take charge of the port.
…
At this moment, on the vast sea of Victoria Harbor, a luxury cruise ship docked near the coast.
In the luxurious hall, there are private banquets, sumptuous dinners, and expensive wines.
The tycoon Henry Zhaotian, the vice president of HSBC Bank Shen Bi, and the president of Cheung Kong Holdings Li Jiacheng sat on both sides of the banquet.
In addition, there are three fashionable girls in dresses accompanying them, among them is Bai Xiaoman, the current red-headed female star with half the sky.
Bai Xiaoman is now one of Shaw Brothers' leading actresses, but her acting skills have been criticized, and she is often said to have relied on her sex to get to the top.
In fact, this seventeen-year-old female star came from a very poor background. Her father died young and her mother raised her and several brothers and sisters.
Bai Xiaoman was famous as a little girl when she was in school. She usually hung out in dance clubs and nightclubs, so her reputation was not very good when she debuted. She was also looked down upon by many orthodox actors and actors with good backgrounds.
In fact, these beauties, including Bai Xiaoman, were recruited by Li Zhaotian with a lot of money to accompany them to drink and play with them. Five thousand yuan per person per night was definitely a big sum in this era.
Of course, not all of the beauties who were recruited to accompany the drinks were easy to talk to. Some of them claimed that they were "performing their art but not selling their bodies." However, after Li Zhaotian threw money at them, these beauties who claimed to be "performing their art but not selling their bodies" became easy to talk to.
And after having her for the first time, she took the initiative to call Li Zhaotian to make an appointment, hoping to find time to have a drink and coffee together.
"Haha! God is helping me!" Li Zhaotian looked very excited and read the obituary in the newspaper again and again.
Shen Bi sipped her tea and remained silent.
Li Jiacheng looked pitiful, shook his head and said: "Mr. Li, I don't think it is a good thing that Mr. Xu passed away! He worked hard for Hong Kong's shipping industry and trained many outstanding talents for this industry. He
The old man deserves respect!"
Li Zhaotian put down the newspaper in his hand, glanced at Li Jiacheng with his eyelids, and said meaningfully: "Boss Li, as a human being, it's okay to wear a mask to do charity and pretend to be kind! It also depends on the time and occasion. Sometimes if you pretend too much, you will be
It seems so hypocritical!”
Li Jiacheng got angry, adjusted his glasses and said, "Mr. Li, what do you mean by that? I've always been the same as I am! Don't underestimate me!"
Shen Bi said: "Don't argue, you two. In fact, there are no outsiders here. If Li Sheng has anything to say, just say it. I think Boss Li will understand and support you!"
Seeing that a big shot like Shen Bi was trying to smooth things over, Li Zhaotian smiled, raised his glass and said to Li Jiacheng: "I'm sorry, Boss Li, maybe I was rude just now, so I'll punish myself with a drink!"
After Li Zhaotian finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.
Normally, Li Zhaotianduan would not be so polite to Li Jiacheng, but now that he needs Li Jiacheng's help, of course he must be polite.
When Li Jiacheng saw Li Zhaotian apologizing, he quickly raised his wine glass and said, "I've done something wrong too, so I'll punish myself with a drink!"
Shen Bi winked at the waitress. The girl sitting next to Li Zhaotian and the girl sitting next to Li Jiacheng immediately poured the drinks for them again.
Li Zhaotian wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and then said with an arrogant expression: "Boss Li, in fact, I and Mr. Shen have already discussed this time and want to win the Wharf!"
Li Jiacheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but he remained calm on the surface.
"As we all know, the Xu family holds a part of the shares of Wharf. Now that Mr. Xu has passed away, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me!"
Li Jiacheng made a quick calculation in his mind. Wharf was affiliated to Jardine Matheson and Co., and according to the rules of the foreign company, Chinese capital would not be allowed to control it. However, this foreign company was not managed well, so that it sold part of its equity to external parties two years ago. This part of the equity was sold to Xu Shipping, The three major families, Huo's Shipping and the chartering king, were divided among them.
Even so, the equity they hold still cannot shake the control of foreign capital over Jardine. Why does Li Zhaotian want to take over Wharf?
"You must be very curious as to why I won the Wharf! You know what I said, just because of my three words, Li Zhaotian!" Li Zhaotian said with great pride.
Li Jiacheng remained calm, picked up the tea, took a sip, put it down, and picked up the chopsticks to eat the food.
Seeing that Li Jiacheng was still pretending, Li Zhaotian sneered and said: "I have calculated that Wharf's equity on the market now accounts for about half and thirty percent, with the Xu family, Huo family, and Bao family each holding 100%. Ten, if I can swallow 20%, I will have a controlling stake in Wharf!"
"As for the remaining 20%, Chief Executive Shen will help me!" Li Zhaotian looked at HSBC Chief Executive Shen Bi.
Shen Bi smiled and said: "It's very simple. Jardine Matheson has 20% equity mortgage in our HSBC, and it is about to expire now. If they don't redeem it, we have the right to dispose of it, either through public auction, or ——" Looking at Li Zhaotian, "Transfer!"
Li Jiacheng smiled, stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth. He looked up at Li Zhaotian and said, "I'm curious, how did you get the shares of Xu, Huo and Bao?"
Li Zhaotian also smiled, "I need your help now!"
"Let me help, how can I help?"
"It's easy, just take the money!"
"Well?"
"I'm going to raise 50 million to take 30% of the equity of three of them! So you come up with 20 million!"
When Li Jiacheng heard this, his first reaction was to answer "I have no money"!
Are you kidding me, how many people in business have cash?! Let alone 20 million!
When doing business these days, if you want to snowball your business, you need to get a loan from a bank!
He, Li Jiacheng, also took out a lot of loans. Li Zhaotian wanted to get money from him, but there was no way!
