"Extraordinary! Extraordinary! The Governor of Hong Kong refused to accept the 3 million donation from the Li Xuexuan Steel Alliance!"
"The Hong Kong governor is angry for the people! He is incompatible with the steel monopoly!"
"The Lee Seol Hyun Steel Alliance was brutally slapped in the face! Hong Kong has a bright future!"
The next day, the front pages of almost all newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong were about the major incident of Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi strictly observing moral character and refusing to accept donations from the Iron and Steel Alliance.
For a time, Dai Lingzhi's noble character was once again mentioned to a new height by everyone!
At the same time, the "Steel Alliance", which was about to be put on the table to become a formal business organization, encountered Waterloo and its reputation plummeted!
Lu Yawen, the president of "Oriental Daily", took the lead in leading Ni Ji, Gu Long and others to use the newspaper's crazy sales volume to verbally and writtenly criticize the "Steel Alliance" organization and its participants Li Xuexuan and others.
"Monopoly makes dirty money!"
“Whose fault is the price of steel being higher than gold?”
Editorial articles one after another are like sharp daggers thrown into the enemy, hitting the heart!
Other newspapers in Hong Kong took advantage of the trend and started dagger-throwing mode. They acted as messengers of justice and began to criticize the "Steel Alliance" verbally and writtenly!
The Steel Alliance had no choice but to use public opinion positions such as Sing Tao Daily to fight back!
"Respect the market! Monopoly is justified!"
“How can free competition be influenced by morality?!”
For a time, the literary world in Xiangjiang was in an uproar, and the two major lineups were even more inseparable!
…
"This is simply unreasonable!"
Snap!
In the office of the president of Ricci Group, an angry Lee Seol-hyun slammed the expensive coffee cup to the ground!
This coffee cup is a treasure imported from the British Empire and is classified as a cultural relic. It is said that Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor, "did not love the country but the beauty" and specially made such a pair of "concentric" coffee cups in order to please the woman he loved.
Later, this pair of cups was sold at a British auction and was bought by Lee Seol-hyun for 13,000 pounds!
Looking at the rare coffee cup that was shattered on the ground, Ghost Man Wen Zedun was too frightened to say anything. He just signaled to the female secretary who came in after hearing the noise: "Take care of the broken pieces!"
The female secretary covered her mouth and looked at the broken cup on the ground with horror, knowing that it was Miss Li's most cherished cup.
"Why are you still standing there? Clean it up quickly!" Wen Zeton scolded.
The female secretary hurriedly agreed and started picking up the ceramic shards on the floor.
"The matter has come to this, Miss Li, what should we do?" Wen Zeton asked Li Xuexuan in a low voice.
Li Xuexuan was wearing a red windbreaker and stood proudly by the floor-to-ceiling window. Even though the windbreaker was very wide, it still couldn't cover her slender legs.
Li Xuexuan moved her beautiful eyes from the window to the room, and finally fell on Wen Zeton, "What do you think we should do?"
Wen Zedun did not dare to look at Li Xue Dazzling, and swallowed his saliva and said: "Now the public opinion is very unfavorable to us, especially the wave of opposition from the people at the bottom, I think it is better -"
"Not as good as what?"
"It's better to take a short break and cultivate your health!"
"You mean stop! Do you want me to stop the Iron Alliance I founded?"
"If we don't do this, I'm afraid it will arouse public outrage!"
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Li Xuexuan looked up to the sky and laughed, staring at Wen Zeton with his beautiful eyes: "How much benefit did Boss Shi give you to tell me this?"
Wen Zeton was startled and hurriedly explained: "No! I just had tea with him! Besides, I have always been on your side!"
"Stand with me? Then why do you want to speak for him?" Li Xuexuan refused to give up.
"I just think what he said is reasonable. Now the Iron and Steel Alliance has made a lot of money by raising the price of steel. It would be good to relax a little bit!" Wen Zedun said bravely. But in his heart, he hated himself. He should not have accepted Shi Zhijian that day.
I was invited to Lu Yu’s Tea House for tea, let alone chatting with him! That treacherous guy seemed to have the charm to seduce people, and I was convinced by him without knowing it, and even agreed to do things for him. Damn it!
"Did you take any of his money?"
"I didn't take it! I don't even have any!" Wen Zeton waved his hands hurriedly. He really didn't take the money!
Li Xuexuan looked at her with disdain: "To be honest, it would be okay if you took the money! But you didn't even get a single penny and you spoke for Shi. Are you looking down on me or looking up to him?!"
"Miss, I have always been loyal to you!" Wen Zedun almost cried. "I didn't expect it to be so serious! I just wanted you to be well! You haven't eaten or drank these days, and your face is full of sorrow.
, it makes our subordinates so heartbroken!"
When Li Xuexuan heard this, a trace of emotion appeared on her cold face: "I don't need your heartache! I, Li Xuexuan, never need to explain to anyone when I do things!"
After a pause, Li Xuexuan walked to the president's seat, his eyes gleaming: "Go and tell everyone in the Steel Alliance! The Steel Alliance was created by me. If they want to withdraw, they can! Spit out the profits they swallowed before! You must
Otherwise, fight alongside me! I want that Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi to know that not accepting my donation is the biggest mistake of his life! I want to let that street fighter Shi Zhijian know that he is talking nonsense in wanting to destroy my alliance.
!”
Wen Zedun could feel the murderous aura emanating from Li Xuexuan's body, and couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Miss Li, what are you going to do?"
"What to do? Continue to raise the price of steel! Double, double, triple! Even ten times! I want to bring chaos to Hong Kong! I want the Hong Kong Governor to come to my door to beg me in person!" Li Xuexuan said decisively!
…
"This girl is crazy!"
Li Ka-shing came to Sun Hung Kai Properties and said to the three real estate giants Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng and Feng Jingqi.
"She is so determined to have her own way, it can easily backfire and have counterproductive effects!"
"I know too." Old God Li Zhaoji is here, "This is not her way of doing business!"
"Then what should we do?" Li Jiacheng asked Li Zhaoji and others for advice.
"How to do it? We do business based on principles. We don't bully honest people and we don't make shady money, right?" Li Zhaoji asked rhetorically.
Li Jiacheng spread his hands: "Of course! It's natural for us to do business and make money. Is it because of her help that we make money? It's obviously unreasonable!"
Li Zhaoji nodded: "Even so, people's words are scary!"
"Now we have to find a way! There is strength in numbers!" Li Jiacheng said anxiously.
Guo Desheng and Feng Jingqi had not spoken much. At this moment, they just looked at their fourth uncle Li Zhaoji.
Li Zhaoji thought for a while and suddenly said: "Let me make a call first!"
"Brother Li, how long has it been since you still have the time to make a phone call?" Li Jiacheng couldn't help criticizing, "A fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond!"
"Don't worry! I'm just thinking of a solution!" After speaking, Li Zhaoji first called the head of the Kadoorie family.
The reply on the phone was: "Sorry, Mr. Kadoorie has been ill recently and is recuperating in the hospital!"
Li Zhaoji smiled, put down the phone and called the charter king again.
Soon, the son-in-law of the chartering king, Su Wendi, answered the phone and replied: "I'm sorry, fourth uncle! My father-in-law has caught a cold and is recuperating at home. He is not involved in company affairs for the time being! If you have anything, just tell me!"
Li Zhaoji casually gave a few words, asking the charter king to take care of his health, and then hung up the phone.
Li Zhaoji looked at Li Jiacheng, "How are you now?"
Li Jiacheng rubbed his temples with his hands: "This is simply unreasonable! When we encounter major issues, we need to discuss and study with them, but one by one... Oh, my head! It hurts so much! I'm sorry, Brother Li, it looks like I
I have to go to the hospital too! Say goodbye first!"
After Li Jiacheng finished speaking, he stood upright and bowed to his fourth uncle Li Zhaoji with clasped fists.
Li Zhaoji didn't leave him alone, and watched Li Jiacheng swaying away. Then he sat on the boss's chair, took a sip from his tea cup, and then said to Guo Desheng and Feng Jingqi with a smile: "What about you? Do you want to go to the hospital to recuperate too?
How many days? Let’s take a vacation. I heard that a new Fuhao Sanatorium has opened near Lantau Island. The environment there is very good!”
…
Lee Seol-hyun’s trick to increase steel prices!
The price of steel, which was already as high as 300 Hong Kong dollars per ton, has directly soared to 500 Hong Kong dollars! The earliest price of one ton of steel was only 150 Hong Kong dollars! In other words, this time under the control of Li Xuexuan, the price of steel in Hong Kong has increased.
It has more than tripled!
The skyrocketing price of steel directly caused the skyrocketing of the building materials market! And the skyrocketing of the building materials market also triggered the skyrocketing of real estate prices, water and electricity prices!
A chain reaction, a domino effect exploded directly!
First of all, it’s not the working people who can’t stand the skyrocketing prices, but the small real estate developers!
These businessmen usually pick up the scraps of big real estate developers. Due to insufficient funds, the small properties developed are also relatively cheap!
But now that the price of building materials has skyrocketed, their costs have tripled! The original advantage of low prices has been directly defeated!
At the same time, because of the increase in raw material prices, those suppliers are chasing after them and demanding debts!
As a result, these real estate developers who were about to die became ants in the hot pot. They had to organize themselves and gathered more than 20 people to go to the largest Chinese Business Association in Hong Kong to seek help.
The chairman of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association is Fok Ying-tung, the boss of the Fok family in Hong Kong.
Facing these Chinese businessmen who were crying and complaining about their misery, Mr. Huo did not hide away, nor did he close the door to see the guests. He generously came out of the office and invited these small real estate developers into the conference room, and asked his secretary to pour a cup of tea for each of them.
Then he asked everyone with concern what their purpose was.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have found a backbone and started talking.
Even though Huo Yingdong has helped many people and dealt with many things, he was still overwhelmed by this incident.
Those small real estate developers talked about their own sufferings with spitting words -
"Can't live anymore!"
“I can’t even open the pot!”
"Debtors are blocking the doorstep!"
“Red paint was thrown on the wall of my house!”
“The price of the house is so high that it can’t be sold, it’s miserable!”
Mr. Huo listened calmly, picked up the tea bowl and sipped it lightly, his expression solemn.
At this time, a small real estate agent named Diao could no longer bear it and roared: "Chairman Huo! You are the president of the Chinese Business Association! To put it bluntly, everyone has to listen to you and eat based on your face! In the past, when you needed us
, we people didn’t even frown! If you don’t make the decision for us now, we will stay here and not leave!”
"Yes, we are not so easy to handle!"
"You must give me an explanation today!"
There was a "pop" sound!
Mr. Huo was drinking tea from a tea bowl. When he heard this, he immediately raised his hand and smashed the tea bowl on the ground!
Seeing the expression on his face again, the solemn sympathy at the beginning turned directly into anger: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Do you dare to ask me to explain to you? I will explain to you! I am the one who caused the price of building materials to rise sharply.
Really? No! Did I ask you to borrow money to build a house and sell it? No! Did I make your family homeless, unable to open a pot, and unable to eat? No!"
Mr. Huo glanced at everyone with his sharp eyes like a falcon, and everyone remained silent under his glance!
Mr. Huo continued: "To be honest! People's hearts are made of flesh! I sympathize with your experience, and I don't want to see your house unable to be sold and being chased by building materials dealers for debts! But the problem is that you run away like this.
What's the point of shouting?"
The small real estate developers were all scolded until they gasped and their eyes turned red, but they did not dare to raise their heads and look at Mr. Huo.
Finally, it was the real estate developer named Diao who had the courage to say: "Um... Chairman Huo, we know we were wrong!"
"Yes, we realized our mistake! Sir, you can calm down your anger a lot!" Others also saw the situation clearly and agreed together.
Now that this group of people had given up, Mr. Huo stopped keeping a dark face and said in a calm tone: "There is no end to the road! You believe me, this matter will be resolved satisfactorily within a month at most, and by then the steel will be gone."
It will fall back to the lowest price! I don’t understand the laws of the market! I only know that you have to be kind, and this is not the way to get money!”
"Finally, if this matter is not resolved by then, you can come to me to settle the score! Whenever I ask you, just tell me what I said!" Mr. Huo patted his chest and said proudly.
His words gave everyone some reassurance. After all, the shadow of the famous tree, and with Big Brother Huo's categorical words, they felt much more at ease.
So everyone immediately said: "Chairman Huo, we all believe in you! Whatever you say will be done! As for us, we will persist for one more month! If it is true as you said, we will definitely come to thank you!"
At this moment, these small real estate developers have already run out of ideas and can only take one step at a time.
Mr. Huo is the chairman of the Hong Kong Chinese Business Association. He is equivalent to the boss talker among Chinese businessmen and has infinite energy. If even he cannot help solve the problem at hand, let alone others.
Then again, this time the mythical Shi Zhijian singled out Li Xuexuan of the Hong Kong Steel Alliance, it was like a confrontation between two great bodhisattvas. Unexpectedly, the first ones to suffer were the little devils like them!
After these small real estate developers left, Mr. Huo, who had just boasted that he was unstoppable, immediately took out his handkerchief and wiped his cold sweat, then called to his subordinates: "Get the car ready, I'm going to see Shi Zhijian! Street boy, you have nothing to do."
It caused chaos in Xiangjiang! He wants me to help him finish it off!"
