For the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong, including the Huo family, Xu family, Bao family and other large families, although they have a good relationship with Shi Zhijian, they are not willing to spend money to help Shi Zhijian raise the stock price of Lee Construction.
They even hope that Shi Zhijian will take the initiative to hand over Ritchie Construction. There is no other way to "share" it with everyone. This is a matter of interest and cannot be treated with mercy!
What's more, among the three major real estate developers in Hong Kong, Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng, and Feng Jingqi are also eyeing Ritchie Construction, waiting for the stock price to collapse, so that they can reap the benefits!
To put it bluntly, the current situation of Ricci Construction is very delicate. Chinese businessmen are not willing to be the receivers to help carry the sedan chair; the gangsters of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are very unhappy with it. If Shi Zhijian does not give them "supply", they will even announce that it will withdraw.
city.
"Don't worry, Mr. Brando!" Shi Zhijian smiled and seemed not worried about the future of Ritchie Construction. "If you believe me, I will revitalize Ritchie Construction in the shortest possible time! Then you will have enough
Use your reasons to convince your companions and those in the Hong Kong government to entrust more urban construction projects to me!"
Brando was stunned, as if he couldn't figure out why Shi Zhijian was so confident.
"How long will the shortest time be? Half a year, or a year?" Brando still doesn't believe that Shi Zhijian can revitalize Ritchie Construction.
Shi Zhijian stood up and said: "Do you know that I owe the three major families fifteen million? I told them to pay it back in three months! So three months! I will revitalize Lee's Construction no matter what!"
Brando, as if meeting Shi Zhijian for the first time, also stood up and said: "Okay then, I will believe you once! I hope that when my documents are approved, your Ricci Architecture can survive! Otherwise
, even if you have the documents, you can’t start construction!”
"Understood! Happy cooperation!" Shi Zhijian extended his hand.
"Happy cooperation!" Brando shook hands with him.
…
At noon.
Shi Zhijian met Chief Inspector Lei Luo at the Peninsula Hotel Chinese Restaurant.
Lei Luo came here with two of his henchmen, Chen Xijiu and Lard Zai.
Even though they were far away, Shi Zhijian stood up and greeted them.
"Brother Luo, Brother Xijiu, Brother Zai!" Shi Zhijian smiled and waved his hands without any airs.
Lei Luo smiled and sat down opposite Shi Zhijian, and told Chen Xijiu and Lard Boy: "Go and find a seat next to you! Just order whatever you want to eat! Ajian is treating you today!"
"Got it!" Chen Xijiu smiled and winked at Shi Zhijian, "Did you hear that, Brother Luo asked us to order whatever we want! I listen to Brother Luo very much, abalone and lobster are indispensable!"
Shi Zhijian smiled, "Whatever!"
Over there, Chen Xijiu and Lard Zai found a seat to order. The waiter knew them and Lei Luo even more, so he immediately served them carefully, for fear of getting into trouble.
Chen Xijiu said she wanted abalone and lobster, but when she actually ordered, she only ordered two oysters.
The lard boy joked that he had eaten too much abalone and needed to eat oysters to replenish his appetite.
…
"How about it, have you dealt with that ghost guy Brando?" Lei Luo did not order, but just took out a cigar and bit it in his mouth out of habit.
Shi Zhijian took out his lighter and personally helped him light the cigarette.
Lei Luo was very happy. It is estimated that there are not many people in the world who can let Shi Zhijian help him light cigarettes personally.
"Just like what you said, Brother Luo, that guy was as stubborn as a donkey at first, but after he came out with the dirty information you gave me, he became honest!" Shi Zhijian sat back down, picked up the coffee and took a sip with his legs crossed.
.
"Hahaha! All ghosts are like this! They won't shed tears until they see the coffin!" Lei Luo felt that he was very smart. He had calculated this step from the beginning, and he was as clever as Zhuge Liang in the opera.
"What are you going to do now?" Lei Luo asked, biting his cigar and turning it.
"Eating! Didn't you see that?" Shi Zhijian shrugged.
"You know that's not what I'm asking!" Lei Luo squinted and said, "What are you going to do next? Even if Brando helps you approve the official document, you still have to be able to undertake the construction! You must not tell me
What kind of mythical real estate company are you talking about? The other two companies that don’t know which company are working are Xujia Construction and Huojia Construction, you just invested in the land!"
"Choose, you don't have to be so straightforward, right?!" Shi Zhijian rolled his eyes at Lei Luo. Even Lei Luo knew that Shinhwa Real Estate was a "leather company", let alone others.
"And the Ritchie Construction company you acquired is a good company, but it's a pity that the stock price has dropped so much that even my parents don't know each other! I have such a good relationship with you, but my Thunder Investment Company is not willing to help you carry the sedan!"
"You are no longer straightforward, you are very heartless!" Shi Zhijian complained.
"Do you have a conscience? I have it!" Lei Luo held a cigar and stared at Shi Zhijian. "If he can make me money, I will reward him with luxury cars and beautiful women. If he makes me lose money, I will reward him with slaps and bullets! I know what you say,
Am I very conscientious? Where can I find an investment boss like me?"
Shi Zhijian smiled helplessly, "It looks like I'm going to die this time, doesn't it?"
"That's not true! As I said, all ghosts are greedy for money! The same goes for the people at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Do you want me to help? I will give you another sum of money and help you get some dirty information. I will make sure that this
You have to be obedient when serving others. If they dare to ask you to delist again, I will give them a bullet!"
"Don't just ask people to eat bullets! Hey, here are the whips from cows, sheep, and pigs that I ordered for you. It's called 'Gathering of Whips'! Come on, I'll give you some!" Shi Zhijian pointed to the waiter just now
Said the dish that was served.
Lei Luo rolled his eyes, "You look down on me? Do I need to take supplements for such a strong body?" He glanced at the dishes, "But because you are so sincere, I will only eat a little bit! Ahem, just a little bit,
I will never eat too much!"
A moment——
Lei Luo took out his handkerchief and wiped his greasy mouth, and said: "That's great!"
Look at the dinner plate again, it’s empty!
Lei Luo looked up at Shi Zhijian, who seemed to have not eaten many dishes, and said sheepishly: "Your sister-in-law is thirty-five this year, and she is in great demand!"
Shi Zhijian nodded, picked up the spoon and drank the soup and said: "Understood!"
After Lei Luo finished speaking, he took out a toothpick from the toothpick holder and held it in his mouth, and said to Shi Zhijian: "The chef here has changed? Will he do so many tricks?"
Shi Zhijian burst into laughter, "It's not that there's a replacement, it's that you don't come often!"
"Yes!" Lei Luo looked around and nodded. "I used to like this kind of place when I was not developed. But after I became the chief inspector, it is no longer convenient for me to appear in such places."
Shi Zhijian also looked around and saw some diners looking this way, and some couldn't help but whisper.
Lei Luo is now considered a big celebrity in Hong Kong and other places. The events that happened before directly turned him into an "Internet celebrity" in this era. At that time, newspapers and magazines interviewed him overwhelmingly, and after he took office, he continued to appear on TV.
He showed up and lectured people, so that people knew him wherever he went, which made him have to sneak around even if he wanted to find a place to have a quiet meal.
"Having said that, what are you going to do? The bones of Lee's Construction are not easy to chew, and they might knock your teeth out! In my opinion, you might as well give a little bit to Huo, Xu and Bao.
Three families, unite them and make big money together!" Lei Luo suggested while holding a toothpick in his mouth.
Shi Zhijian smiled, took out the cigarette box from his arms, took out one, knocked it on the box and held it in his mouth. When he wanted to light a cigarette, he found that the metal lighter was placed in front of Lei Luo.
Lei Luo didn't answer, directly touched the lighter in full view of everyone, and in turn helped Shi Zhijian light the cigarette himself.
Those around who recognized Lei Luo were extremely surprised and couldn't help but look at Shi Zhijian again.
Shi Zhijian has always been low-key and mysterious. Not many people in Hong Kong know him. Most people know his name and the legends about him.
So much so that at this moment many people are speculating on who this young man in white is? If Lei Luo, who is so powerful in the police community, can personally help light cigarettes, his identity must not be simple.
Shi Zhijian took a puff of cigarette, spit it out, leaned on the chair and scratched his eyebrows with his little finger habitually, and then said lazily: "Let me give gifts to those people at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange? This is impossible!
Let me share the Ricci Building with others? This is also not possible! It’s not that I am greedy, but the Ricci Building will lose its original value once it is divided!”
"So your plan is-" Lei Luo asked tentatively.
"Delisting!" Shi Zhijian puffed out a smoke ring leisurely.
…
For Shi Zhijian, the impact of choosing Ricci Construction Company to delist from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is not too great.
On the one hand, Shi Zhijian's main company is Shinhwa Group. Shinhwa has never been listed on the market, and the delisting of Ricci Construction will not affect Shinhwa's value.
On the other hand, he spent 30 million to buy Ricci Construction from HSBC executive Shen Bi at a low price. Even if it is delisted now, he won't lose much, but it will only hurt the original Ricci shareholders.
"Although you are right to do this, it will annoy those stock investors and might cause a riot!" Lei Luo spat out the toothpick in his mouth and said with lingering fear.
Shi Zhijian smiled, "So I still need your help, Brother Luo. First, lend me another five million. Second, arrange some people to protect me on the day I announce my delisting!"
"Wow, it turns out you are also afraid of death! I thought you were some kind of 'Fire Cloud Evil God' who could fight alone against the ten major sects in the world!" Lei Luo couldn't help but tease.
After a pause, he then said: "I can give you five million. I just have a sum of money on hand that needs to be washed recently. It can be put to good use if I leave it to you! The question is how long do you need to borrow? If it takes too long, I can't help.
you!"
Lei Luo had a lot of "black money" in his hands, including the "black gold" offered to Shangfeng. He didn't dare to touch this money easily. This time he was willing to squeeze out a little bit to give to Shi Zhijian, which can be regarded as a sign of love and justice. It's just that
There is a time limit for the money, and Lei Luo is afraid that Shi Zhijian won't be able to pay it by then, which would be terrible!
"Don't worry, it will last three to two weeks!"
"Ah? Three weeks?" Lei Luo didn't expect the time to be so short. He thought it would take at least a month or two.
Lei Luo looked at Shi Zhijian in surprise, then took a sip of coffee, put it down and raised his head and asked: "Three weeks is still okay, I'll lend it to you!"
Lei Luo secretly made a decision. Even if Shi Zhijian really couldn't repay the money by then, Lei Luo would have to shoulder the debt.
"Okay, since I'm going to delist Ricci Construction and I still have a lot of information to prepare, I won't drink coffee with you anymore!" Shi Zhijian stood up and straightened his suit and said, "As for the money for this meal, you can pay for it first.
I pay the bill!"
"Uh, what? Did you make a mistake? You deceived me for five million with a plate of 'Group Whip Gathering', and you asked me to pay for you in the end? A Jian, does it hurt your conscience?" Lei
Luo grinned, his expression was exaggerated, and his tone was exaggerated.
Shi Zhijian smiled: "You also said that we are brothers! We are sincere!"
After speaking, he pointed to the egg tart on the table that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and asked the waiter: "Pack it!"
…
Shi Zhijian left the hotel and got into the Bentley. He handed the packed egg tarts to Chen Huimin who was driving in front and said, "I remember your little sister Zhong Yi eats egg tarts. Give them to her!"
Chen Huimin smiled happily. The egg tarts in this hotel are made by Chef Gui Lao, and the prices are also high. Those egg tart shops on the street are simply incomparable.
"Thank you, Mr. Shi!" Chen Huimin was very happy. Shi Zhijian could remember his sister, which made him very happy.
"Drive, go home!" Shi Zhijian leaned on the car seat, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Lei Luo was surprised at Shi Zhijian's decision to delist Ritchie Construction in the restaurant. In fact, Shi Zhijian had his own plan to do so.
According to the historical development trajectory, Hong Kong's famous "Far East Stock Exchange" will open in February this year.
In the late 1960s, Hong Kong's economy began to take off, and many promising Chinese businessmen emerged. They hoped to raise funds and develop through listing. However, their listing applications were repeatedly rejected by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which was controlled and exclusively operated by Western brokers at the time.
outside the door.
In 1970, led by Li Fuzhao, the "Far East Stock Exchange" was established, which immediately brought Hong Kong's securities industry into the fast lane.
More importantly, this exchange broke the monopoly, paved the way for Chinese businessmen to go public, and created opportunities for their future take-off.
The world-famous "Cheung Kong Industries" owned by Boss Li Jiacheng was listed on this exchange in November 1972, and its stock price doubled on that day.
Shi Zhijian’s plan is very simple: first delist Ricci Construction from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange controlled by Gui Lao, and then announce its listing on the Far East Stock Exchange!
By doing this again and again, we can directly revitalize Ritchie Construction Company!
Of course, if you choose to re-list at that time, the name "Lee's Construction Company" will no longer be used. Shi Zhijian has already thought of changing it directly to "Mythology Construction Company" and become a subsidiary of his own "Mythology Real Estate"!
It is still unknown whether "Shinhwa Construction Company" can be listed on the Far East Stock Exchange that is about to be established. Therefore, Shi Zhijian's top priority is to visit the man who organized the establishment of the Far East Stock Exchange and will be revered as the "Father of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange" in the future.
” and “ Li Fuzhao, the financial tycoon who is the godfather of the stock market!
Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian opened his eyes suddenly and said to Chen Huimin who was driving in front: "I'm not going back! Make a U-turn and go to the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce!"
