0687 [Tricky and slippery like a ghost!] (4000 word chapter)
"I hate rain!"
Lee Group, in the president's office, Li Zhaotian was chewing a cigar, staring at the pouring rain outside, and said to Li Jiacheng, who was sitting on the sofa behind him.
Behind Li Jiacheng stands his loyal subordinate, who is also his brother-in-law Zhuang Jiajun.
The person responsible for pouring the drinks for Li Jiacheng at the moment is the ghost guy Wen Zedun, who is also Li Zhaotian's confidant.
Since losing the Retiro Nightclub, Wen Zedun has been staying with Li Zhaotian, waiting for a comeback.
"Mr. Li, I just received news that Shi Zhijian has solved the dock strike. All the workers were persuaded to quit by him. We lost the game!"
"I have told you before that Shi Zhijian is treacherous and very difficult to deal with. This time we missed a trick again!" Li Jiacheng said worriedly.
"Betting doesn't count as losing!" Li Zhaotian turned around with his cigar between his fingers and blew out a puff of smoke at Li Jiacheng with contemptuous eyes. "We are still at the gambling table, and we still don't know whether we will win or lose! Boss Li, I have always valued you.
Yes, you know why? Because you are powerful and domineering! You are trustworthy and full of confidence!"
The conversation changed, "But what now? You disappoint me very much. Just Shi Zhijian makes you chaotic. This is not like your usual behavior!"
Li Jiacheng took a sip of his whiskey with some embarrassment and said, "That's not what I meant, and I don't mean to gain the prestige of others and destroy my own ambition! I just want to remind Mr. Li that Shi Zhijian is not easy to deal with!"
Li Zhaotian returned to his seat, reached for the ice clip, picked up an ice cube and threw it into the glass. He picked it up, shook it, crossed his legs and said: "Things like the dock strike are easy to solve, and I don't expect that either."
Can Xie Yonghua really handle this matter!"
"It's just that I was surprised that Shi Zhijian would personally take action, and even mobilized the riot squad to come over. It seems that he and Lei Luo have a really strong relationship!"
Li Jiacheng: "This is easy to explain. When Shi Zhijian took action in person, it was not because he was short of manpower. I think he was deliberately showing his face to give those people in Wharf a chance to increase his prestige!"
Li Zhaotian smiled, "That's a good analysis! Shi Zhijian's men are not unavailable. There are many elite soldiers and strong generals, but this time he personally took action, either raping or stealing! As for his relationship with Lei Luo, Wen Zeton——"
"Here, Mr. Lee!"
"Arrange some media reporters to report on it, saying that Lei Luo abused his power and helped Shi Zhijian to suppress the dock workers for no reason! Those workers were so pitiful, they were all beaten horribly! Remember, write as miserable as you want, do you understand?"
"Understood! Mr. Lee!"
"And!" Li Zhaotian pointed at Wen Zedun with his cigar between his fingers, "To be more serious, find some pens to write about the relationship between Shi Zhijian and Lei Luo, and write that Lei Luo's rise to power is all due to Shi Zhijian, and Shi Zhijian
It’s Boss Lei Luo! It’s no secret that Lei Luo is as useless as he is written about, but without Shi Zhijian, he is nothing!”
Wen Zedun's eyes lit up, and Li Jiacheng and Zhuang Jiajun also looked excited.
"Mr. Li, are you going to——"
"That's right!" Li Zhaotian looked unruly, "I just want to sow discord! In this world, we can share adversity, but how many people can share wealth and honor?"
Li Jiacheng, Wen Zedun, and Zhuang Jiajun were silent.
In fact, this kind of gossip has been circulating in Hong Kong for a long time, that is, Shi Zhijian is the famous "king maker" and Lei Luo was created by Shi Zhijian. Without Shi Zhijian, Lei Luo is nothing!
Now, Li Zhaotian just wants to spread the news and use it to drive a wedge between Shi Zhijian and Lei Luo.
…
Boom, boom, boom!
Just then, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Li Zhaotian frowned. He was in high spirits, but he didn't expect to be interrupted, "Come in!"
The door of the office was pushed open, and a woman dressed as a secretary came in and bowed and said: "Hello, Mr. Li, there is someone outside who wants to see you!"
"Who wants to see me?" Li Zhaotian was confused. It was raining so heavily outside and he didn't make an appointment with anyone else.
The female secretary bowed again and said, "It's Mr. Shi Zhijian, the president of Shinhwa Company!"
Before he finished speaking, a hearty voice said: "Sorry, Li Sheng! I took the liberty of coming here without saying hello in advance, please forgive me!"
While talking, Shi Zhijian walked in with a neat suit and a smile. Behind him were personal lawyer Liang Youcai and bodyguard Chen Huimin.
Li Zhaotian narrowed his eyes.
Li Jiacheng remained calm.
Zhuang Jiajun looked stunned.
When Wen Zeton saw Shi Zhijian, his face was full of anger. If Shi Zhijian hadn't used strong tactics, he would not have lost the Lichi Nightclub!
"Wow, there are so many people here. Boss Li and Mr. Wen are also there?" Shi Zhijian glanced at everyone, then sat down without invitation, found the sofa opposite Li Zhaotian, and sat down directly.
Li Zhaotian looked at Shi Zhijian sitting in front of him with a golden sword, and a smile suddenly appeared on his stern face: "You are such a rare visitor, why did Mr. Shi have time to come here?" After saying that, he personally picked up the whiskey and poured a glass of wine for Shi Zhijian.
Look at each other leisurely.
"Oh, I came here to discuss business with you!"
"Business talk?" Li Zhaotian shrugged, "I heard you right, but I wonder if there is any business to talk about between you and me?"
Shi Zhijian smiled and said: "Of course it's serious business! Is it possible that Mr. Li likes to discuss informal business with people like Boss Li?"
After saying that, Shi Zhijian glanced at Li Jiacheng, who was sitting next to him, half-smilingly.
Li Jiacheng's face looked a little ugly, "Shi Zhijian, just speak as you speak, don't carry a gun and a stick!"
Shi Zhijian took a sip of whiskey and said with a smile: "I wholeheartedly look towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch! Boss Li, you are wrong to say this, I respect you very much!"
"Really? Why can't I see it at all?"
"That's because Boss Li is too prejudiced against me!"
"Okay, Shi Zhijian, you're not here to quarrel with me, are you?" Li Jiacheng didn't give Shi Zhijian a good look. After suffering several losses, he finally understood that Shi Zhijian was just a little fox and a bastard! The more he kept quarreling with him,
, the more you die, the more ugly it will be!
Li Zhaotian also smiled and said: "Yes, Shi Zhijian, you just said you wanted to do business with me. What kind of business is it? Tell me!"
"Well, Mr. Li is indeed a businessman. I only like to discuss business with an emotionless person like you!" Shi Zhijian raised his head and stepped down, which made Li Jiacheng grin even more.
"Mr. Li, you should have heard that in addition to being the president of Shinhwa Group, I am also the administrative director of Wharf Company!"
Li Zhaotian sneered, "Of course I know this. I didn't expect Mr. Shi's interest to be so high. He can't manage it in his own company, but he helps others manage the company. How great!"
"There is no other way. Those who can do it should work harder!" Shi Zhijian didn't care at all about Li Zhaotian's sarcasm. Instead, he rubbed his nose and face with a proud look on his face.
Seeing this, Li Zhaotian had to sigh that Shi Zhijian was really thick-skinned.
"Ever since I became the director of this damn thing, I have felt a great responsibility!" Shi Zhijian held up his whiskey with a worried expression on his face, "I have always been thinking about how to make Wharf a good place, make it bigger, and put it on the right track.
!”
After saying that, he glanced at Ni Xianli Zhaotian again and said, "As you know, that company has not been very peaceful recently. Both the superiors and the dock workers are in chaos, which makes me worried!"
Li Zhaotian rolled his eyes, you're so worried, you devil! If you were really worried, you wouldn't come here to drink and have fun, talking nonsense to me!
"So Director Shi, what are you going to do?" Li Zhaotian said with a smile, "I heard that the dock strike has been solved by you three times five times five times two times! What are you going to do next?"
"What to do?" Shi Zhijian pointed to the private lawyer Liang Youcai standing behind him and said, "Look, I have brought all the lawyers here. Of course I am sincere in discussing business with you. Specifically, I want to discuss business with you.
cooperate!"
"Cooperation, how can we cooperate?" Li Zhaotian smiled half-heartedly.
"Of course you and I will cooperate -"
Before Shi Zhijian could say anything, he heard a knock on the office door.
Li Zhaotian was startled for a moment, but then he saw the female secretary from before pushing the door in again, bowing and saying: "Mr. Li, someone wants to see you!"
"Who wants to see me?" Li Zhaotian felt that today was a weird day, why were the guests coming one after another?
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Bi, the boss of HSBC Bank, wearing a top hat and holding a civilized stick, coming in from the outside with great momentum.
Obviously, Shen Bi did not expect that there would be so many people in the office. He was a little stunned. After seeing the situation clearly, he couldn't help but ask: "Li Sheng, is there something important to talk about with so many people?"
Li Zhaotian looked suspicious: "No - Mr. Shen, why are you here?"
Shen Biqi said: "Well, didn't you send someone to notify me?"
"No!" Li Zhaotian was stunned, "I never sent anyone to inform you!"
Before Shen Bi and Li Zhaotian could figure out what was going on, Shi Zhijian stood up from his seat with a smile and said, "Sorry, I'm the one who invited Shen Daban!"
"Huh?" Shen Bi, Li Zhaotian, Li Jiacheng and others next to them were stunned.
…
Facing everyone's surprised looks and suspicious glances, Shi Zhijian scratched his eyebrows with his right index finger in embarrassment, "Is it a little unexpected? I think Mr. Li, Shen Daban, and Boss Li, you are always in a trinity, what are you doing?
All together! Since I want to discuss business with you, Mr. Li, of course I have to invite them to come and listen!"
"Shi Zhijian, what the hell are you doing?" Li Zhaotian couldn't help it and wanted to lose his temper.
"Mr. Li, don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! Impulse is the devil! You have to remember it!" Shi Zhijian waved his hands and said.
Li Zhaotian took a deep breath, feeling like his lungs would explode if he kept suppressing it any longer.
"Shen Bi, since you are here, why not sit down first!" Shi Zhijian turned his back on guests and invited Shen Bi to sit down like a host.
This was Shen Bi's first face-to-face contact with Shi Zhijian. In the past, he had only heard of Shi Zhijian's reputation as a cunning and cunning fox. This meeting was a lesson for him.
"Thank you, I can just sit here!" After all, Shen Bi is the senior manager of HSBC. He controls billions of HSBC funds and is calm when things happen. He wants to see what Shi Zhijian is playing.
At this moment, Li Zhaotian and Li Jiacheng were also a little curious, wondering what Shi Zhijian was up to.
"I'm not trying to cause trouble, I'm just trying to cooperate!" Shi Zhijian saw everyone gathered and stopped hiding. "To be precise, I want to work with you, Mr. Li, to take down the Wharf!"
Shi Zhijian's words were an understatement, but in the ears of Li Zhaotian and others, they were like a shocking statement!
What's the meaning?
Shi Zhijian wants to join forces with Lee Zhaotian to annex Wharf?
Everyone wonders if they heard it wrong!
"Shi Zhijian, you are the newly appointed administrative director of Wharf. Do you know what you just said?" Li Zhaotian asked sternly.
"Of course I know! Since I can be a director, of course I can also be a spy! Alas, my good reputation is about to be ruined!" Shi Zhijian shook his head and sighed.
"But there is no other way. For the sake of national justice, I can only do this!" Shi Zhijian raised his head and said righteously, "Who makes me Chinese, who makes me full of passion and concern for the country and the people! Wharf is owned by Jardine Matheson.
, Jardine is another British-owned capital controlled by ghosts! Everyone knows that those British ghosts are not good at all. They have bullied us Chinese since the Opium War, asking us to cede territory to pay compensation, and also seized our Hong Kong!"
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he seemed to remember that there was a ghost like Shen Bi present here, and said hurriedly: "Of course, Shen Daban, you are different, you are a good guy! You can tell that you are willing to help Li Sheng fight for Wharf.
A hero among ghosts! And a friend of us Chinese people!"
Shen Bi was speechless!
Suddenly he felt the same as Li Zhaotian before, his lungs were about to explode!
"In the face of national justice, I am ready to abandon the dark side and join the team of heroes. Let's work together to take down the Gui Lao's Kowloon rub, so that our Chinese assets can truly control our Feng Shui treasure land!"
Shi Zhijian spoke so impassionedly and beaming with joy, but Li Zhaotian and others felt their kidneys aching when they heard it!
"Shi Zhijian, even if you want to be a young man and want to cooperate with me, what qualifications do you have?" Li Zhaotian asked.
"What qualifications?" Shi Zhijian blinked, looking innocent and honest, "Of course it's the equity in my hand! You also know that in order to become this damn director, I got 10% of Wharf from the three major shipping kings.
Equity, and then I got 10% from that guy in Keswick, which adds up to 20%, which is quite a lot!"
Li Zhaotian and others looked at each other, as if they had not expected that Shi Zhijian actually controlled so much Wharf equity, and the two-yielding ratio was 20%, so he was really qualified to negotiate!
Li Zhaotian's eyes flickered and he looked at the boss next to him, Shen Bi.
Shen Bi nodded towards him.
Li Zhaotian immediately turned to Shi Zhijian and asked: "What are the conditions?"
Shi Zhijian smiled, took a sip of whiskey, looked up at the crowd and said, "As I said, wouldn't it be great if we all work together to carve up the Wharf?"
"How wonderful?" Li Zhaotian sneered, "You have 20%, I have 10%, and the three major shipping kings have 20%. The total is only 50%. It is tied with Yihe Matheson. How can we control it?"
Shi Zhijian slowly turned to look at Li Jiacheng, who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "Isn't this half of Boss Li's share?"
Li Zhao was stunned for a moment, and his pupils shrank suddenly. Li Jiacheng had shares in Wharf, how could he not know?
