Feng Hanzhu, Feng Muying, Feng Lihua and Feng Guolun are all waiting for him here. It is obvious that the Feng family attaches great importance to the negotiations with Chu Huan.
Feng Guojing said with a somewhat complicated expression: "It has been negotiated. The specific things are like this..."
Feng Guojing then told everyone present in detail about the negotiations between himself and Chu Huan.
When Feng Muying heard that Chu Huan actually wanted to let Li & Fung Group handle the 100 million order of ready-made garments, she was so angry that she wanted to smash things on the spot.
"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"
Although Feng Muying was dissuaded by Feng Lihua, she still preached angrily.
Feng Hanzhu and Feng Lihua looked at each other and saw shock and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Finally, Feng Lihua nodded to Feng Hanzhu, obviously having made a decision.
Feng Hanzhu also nodded helplessly, and then spoke to Feng Guojing and Feng Guolun: "Guojing, Guolun, forget the past things from now on, run our Li & Fung Group well, and don't think about it anymore.
Let’s go fight with Chu Huan!”
Seeing that Feng Hanzhu had given up, Feng Muying immediately said dissatisfied: "Lao San, what do you mean? Is this the end of the matter?"
Feng Hanzhu said calmly and helplessly: "What if we forget about it? Brother, don't forget what Guo Jing said just now. If Chu Huan can really do the last thing he said, then Chu Huan's
Strength is definitely not as simple as what we see on the surface. For such people, our Feng family is no longer able to compete. Now only through cooperation with Chu Huan can we continue to develop. Otherwise, we
That’s what happened to those textile factories.”
Feng Muying said angrily: "I don't believe Chu Huan has such power!"
Feng Hanzhu smiled bitterly: "Whether you believe it or not, Chu Huan is already doing this. Maybe within a month or two, Chu Huan will be able to dominate the textile industry in Xiangjiang. Shen Bi wants to suppress Chu Huan
Your wishful thinking is destined to fail!"
Feng Muying still didn't want to admit defeat like this, and couldn't help but said: "If we contact Shen Bi, I think the other party will be very concerned about this news!"
Feng Lihua said directly: "If you want our Feng family to leave Li & Fung Group, do this!"
The Feng family cannot lose Li & Fung Group, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem.
"Now for our Feng family, the most important thing is to acquire more shares of our Li & Fung Group on the market. If what Chu Huan said about household appliances is true, the share price of Li & Fung Group will definitely skyrocket in the future.
Rising!"
Feng Lihua analyzed.
Feng Hanzhu said: "Even if the household appliances he mentioned come true, just putting the "Fantasy Comics" peripherals in Li & Fung Toy Store is enough to make our Li & Fung Group's stock price rise!"
Then Feng Hanzhu no longer paid attention to the angry Feng Muying, but said to the two brothers Feng Guojing and Feng Guolun: "Do you remember what I just said?"
Although the two of them felt unwilling to do so, they also knew that this was the best way now and nodded silently.
Feng Hanzhu didn't say anything when he saw the expressions of the two people. He first said to Feng Guolun: "You should contact the securities firm now and try to acquire more shares of our company!"
Then he said to Feng Guojing: "Your job during this period is to expand the company's sales channels for home appliances, especially in Europe and the United States. At the same time, keep an eye on Chu Huan. He doesn't want you to see his
Is it a new industry? Then let’s take a closer look, I would like to see what industry can compare with the peripherals of “Fantasy Comics”!”
The two brothers nodded again and then went out to do their own business.
There are only three siblings left in the office: Feng Hanzhu, Feng Muying, and Feng Lihua.
"Brother, things are irreversible. If we still focus on the past and don't give up, then Chu Huan will only get involved in the company's affairs. If that is the case, it will be a devastating blow!"
Feng Lihua continued to persuade Feng Muying at this time.
Feng Muying still said angrily: "I understand the truth, but I just think it's abominable that Chu Huan bullies people like this!"
Feng Hanzhu and Feng Lihua looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and said: "The situation is stronger than the people. In any case, we can save the Li & Fung Group. If the Li & Fung Group is really like what Chu Huan said in the future, then we will actually
You have nothing to lose, and you will only gain more than before!”
Feng Muying also looked helpless and said: "What else can I say now? I just don't know if Shen Bi will target Chu Huan after he takes the top job at HSBC. Will it implicate us at Li & Fung!"
"That is a matter between the two of them. If Shen Bi can really suppress Chu Huan successfully, maybe we can recover the shares of our company from Chu Huan!"
Feng Hanzhu’s sermon on joy in suffering.
Feng Lihua had a different opinion and said: "If Chu Huan's development is really as he said, I don't think it is that easy for Shen Bi to suppress Chu Huan."
Feng Muying and Feng Hanzhu looked at each other speechless. From the negotiation process between Feng Guojing and Chu Huan, they learned that Chu Huan actually had a new industry without telling everyone, and he was also a business that was not weaker than "Fantasy Comics" peripheral products.
industry, they couldn’t imagine what kind of industry it would be.
The most important thing is, besides this industry, does Chu Huan have other industries that they are not aware of?
But what is certain is that the fact that Chu Huan became the largest shareholder of Li & Fung Group will definitely make Shen Bi very unhappy. But then, something happened again that made Shen Bi even more unhappy.
Sha Ya informed Shen Bi that Chu Huan would be invited to become a director of HSBC!
After hearing the news, Shen Bi naturally expressed his disapproval of the decision again, but Sha Ya said that he had discussed it with other directors of HSBC and the matter had been decided.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shen Bi was deeply shocked again.
Soon, the news of Chu Huan becoming a director of HSBC spread in Hong Kong with the reports in Hong Kong newspapers.
After everyone heard the news, they were stunned. Some were happy, and naturally some were unhappy.
The people around Chu Huan are naturally happy. The tit-for-tat confrontation between Chu Huan and Shen Bi made friends around Chu Huan very worried, but now Chu Huan has become a director of HSBC.
This shows that the relationship between Chu Huan and Shen Bi is more of a personal grudge than a confrontation between Chu Huan and HSBC.
"Ah Huan, people say that misfortunes never come singly and blessings never come alone. Now it seems that this sentence is wrong!"
In the booth of Wuyuehui, Tang Yunian laughed and preached to Chu Huan.
Guo Bingxiang was also present today and said with a smile: "First I became the largest shareholder of Li & Fung Group, and now I have become a director of HSBC. Isn't this a double happiness?"
Feng Yongfa said with some regret: "It's a pity that the textile industry is still fighting, otherwise it would be killing three birds with one stone!"
Tang Yunian said with a smile: "I guess Chen Tinghua, Liu Yinsheng and others must not be in a good mood at this time. A Huan has actually gained access to their backers. This situation will probably make them very helpless!"
Zheng Jiachun has a different opinion: "You can't say that. This matter is originally an issue between A Huan and Shen Bi. Even if A Huan becomes a director of HSBC, this title is more important than that of Shen Bi." It’s an honor, it doesn’t have much influence!”
Directors of HSBC still have certain rights. Like directors of other listed companies, they have one vote at board meetings, but compared to senior executives with real power like Shen Bi, their influence is really limited.
Chu Huan smiled nonchalantly: "Let me tell you, Shen Bi and I seem to have a sworn hatred. We just have different business development concepts!"
Facing Chu Huan's explanation, everyone gave Chu Huan an international gesture.
Everyone did not talk about this matter in depth. After all, this gathering was to congratulate Chu Huan on taking the position of director of HSBC. Naturally, they would not say anything more about unhappy things.
But as I just said, some people are happy and some are unhappy.
The unhappy ones are naturally Chen Tinghua and Liu Yinsheng. They were attacking the crystal in the front, but Chu Huan stole the tower from the rear. It's strange to be happy!
Fortunately, they also understand the gap between HSBC directors and Shen Bi, so they are not too worried.
But I’m not happy, that’s for sure!
"Everyone, have you seen the news in the newspaper? Chu Huan has become the major shareholder of Li & Fung Group. Many of us have cooperative relationships with Li & Fung Group!"
It was Yao Tianbao who said this.
They originally thought that the fact that they were losing money and making money was enough to leave them speechless, but unexpectedly, Jiahu Textile turned around and became the largest shareholder of Li & Fung Group.
This matter makes these people even more worried than Chu Huan becoming a director of HSBC.
As mentioned before, these textile factories do not all have their own sales channels. They mostly cooperate with trading companies such as Li & Fung Group. They are only responsible for production and sales, while Li & Fung Group is responsible for The trading company is responsible, and now Jiahu Textile has become the largest shareholder of Li & Fung Group.
For them, this is truly stealing their hometown!
Liu Yinsheng also had a headache. Not to mention Yao Tianbao's textile factory, even his Tianma Textile Factory had some cooperation with Li & Fung Group.
Seeing the low morale of everyone, Chen Tinghua could only speak.
"Everyone can rest assured about this matter. I have discussed it with Mr. Shen Bi before. Although Jiahu Textile is now the largest shareholder of Li & Fung Group, the newspaper also said that Jiahu Textile does not participate in the management of Li & Fung Group. , and the process of Jiahu Textile becoming the largest shareholder of Li & Fung Group is not friendly. I believe that the Feng family will definitely not be willing to cooperate with some of Chu Huan's decisions.
What's more, everyone sitting here can basically represent the textile industry in Xiangjiang. Even if Li & Fung Group wants to target us, it must consider it. We can represent the textile industry in Xiangjiang, but Li & Fung Group cannot represent the trade in Xiangjiang. Companies, whether they are Yingzhijie or Dachang, can do textile business, and Li & Fung Group has no reason and dare not target us!"
Chen Tinghua's explanation gave everyone a piece of mind.
But Yao Tianbao was still a little worried and said: "But some of the companies we are sitting here have received financial support from Li & Fung Group. They have shares in our company. If Chu Huan uses these shares to do something What to do with the article?”
Yao Tianbao's question once again focused everyone's attention on Chen Tinghua.
In order to ensure its own goods, Li & Fung Group has indeed invested in many manufacturers.
Faced with this problem, Chen Tinghua was naturally well prepared and said calmly: "You can rest assured on this point. Don't forget that Chu Huan definitely spent a lot of money to acquire the shares of Li & Fung Group. He previously worked for Standard Chartered The bank only loaned 150 million Hong Kong dollars, which was enough to acquire the shares of Li & Fung Group. It is impossible for Chu Huan to have much more cash personally."
Everyone can only listen to this opinion now.
And what happened next also made them firm in this idea.
Just one day after Chu Huan became a director of HSBC, Liang Risi, manager of the public relations department of Jiaku Consulting Company, held a press conference and announced that a Chu charity fund would be established and HSBC would be responsible for its financial investment and other services. In addition, the Chu Charitable Foundation is specifically designed to cooperate with the charity work of the Hong Kong government and make its own contributions to the citizens of Hong Kong.
At the same time, Liang Yasisi announced that the Chu Charitable Foundation will donate two million at this year's Hong Kong government charity dinner, and will also send a batch of daily necessities worth more than two million to the residents of Tiu Keng Ling, Hong Kong, to solve the problem of Tiu Keng Ling. In order to solve the living difficulties of residents in Tiu Keng Ling, the Chu Charitable Foundation will also allocate a sum of money to repair the kindergarten, primary school and middle school in Tiu Keng Ling, and will also establish scholarships to provide help to the children here.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tiu Keng Leng is located in the Tseung Kwan O area of Sai Kung, Hong Kong, not very far from the Tseung Kwan O studio where the black and white film was filmed.
But here and the Tseung Kwan O studio are in the same sky and on the same earth.
After the defeat of GD, some veterans who did not want to go to Taiwan took their families and came to Hong Kong. However, at the beginning, they were placed in Mount Davis on Hong Kong Island by the Hong Kong government. However, in 1950,
At that time, after a large-scale bloody conflict broke out in Mount Davis, the Hong Kong government decided to move more than 100,000 veterans and their families to Tiu Keng Ling.
At that time, the place name Tiu Keng Ling did not exist yet, so Hong Kong people called it Diao Keng Ling.
Because the name is so unlucky, many refugees are reluctant to move there.
In order to appease these people, the Hong Kong government changed the name of this place to Tiu Keng Ling, which is homophonic to Diao Ke Ling.
This is also the first time this place has been officially named.
The Hong Kong government has always regarded these people as burdens and naturally will not take care of them. After moving these people to Tiu Keng Ling, they chose to forget them.
It is precisely because of such forgetfulness that this place has become a place no better than Kowloon Walled City.
This situation naturally makes their life very difficult. They don’t even live in the Dan family’s thatched hut. Instead, they live in simple A-frame shacks built with oil paper along the mountain.
These oil-paper sheds are easy to catch fire, and there have been many fires. Some are man-made, and some spontaneously ignite under the hot sun. If one spot catches fire, it will burn into a sea of inferno.
In addition to fire, there is also water, and water and fire have no mercy.
Sometimes, after a storm, the mountains are in a mess, and torn pieces of paper blown up by the wind are flying all over the sky in the New Territories. They will also float to the high buildings on Hong Kong Island. The rich people on the hillside are neat and beautiful.
in the courtyard.
And many of these more than 100,000 refugees also have huge psychological gaps, including many high-ranking officials and once-all-powerful generals.
This is a group of heroes in troubled times who are destined to become losers and become beggars almost overnight.
This is not a metaphor, there were many beggar gangs formed in Tiu Keng Leng at that time.
According to the people who lived here in later generations, in Tiu Keng Ling, no matter what high official you have been, as long as you enter Tiu Keng Ling, everything is equal, and the fate of no one is different from others.
When all existing order and social functions are paralyzed, the simplest way is to use bare hands and rely on fists and blood to do everything.
The harsh environment and bad mood have accelerated the depravity of human nature. The evil, brutal and ferocious nature of human nature has turned this place into a jungle world where the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive.
There are many violent and bloody stories here. Some people set fires and some killed people, but few people jumped into the sea or hung their necks here.
This is perhaps the biggest difference between Chinese and Westerners. No matter what situation they are in, the Chinese will highlight their extremely tenacious ability to survive and adapt.
The Hong Kong government, which chose to forget about such a huge and terrifying Tiu Keng Leng, also began to panic.
Darwin's descendants began to have a premonition of a reality in the East - exiles can easily turn into bandits, and begging can easily turn into robbery.
In order to avoid such a situation, the Hong Kong government began to rescue these more than 100,000 refugees.
It should be said that this was a very timely rescue. Not only did the official Social Affairs Bureau (the predecessor of the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department) distribute food to more than 100,000 refugees, but also enthusiastic private individuals formed the Hong Kong and Kowloon Rescue Committee and set up a rescue committee in Tiu Keng Ling.
The Refugee Service has provided more in-depth and detailed relief to refugees, including psychological comfort.
The Hong Kong Catholic and Christian churches also regard these refugees as God's people. The world may abandon these sinful people, but God will not abandon them.
Regardless of whether it was to stabilize the order here or as a face-saving project, such measures finally allowed this place to receive some concrete relief, including food, clothing, shelter, and the lives of the refugees were greatly improved;
There is also assistance for refugees to reintegrate into society, such as helping and relocating refugees to find employment, medical treatment and schooling for the children of refugees. Many schools such as Catholic Ming Yuan Middle School, Mu De Middle School, and Tiu Keng Ling Middle School have been successively opened in the refugee village.
Christian Haven Hospital was also built.
As the refugees left Tiu Keng Ling to work or started cottage-style manual labor at home, many refugees began their normal lives, and Tiu Keng Ling also transformed from a concentration camp to a refugee village and began to become a normal society.
However, all these are just superficial projects. Tiu Keng Leng is still the poorest, most chaotic and disorderly place in Hong Kong at this time.
To put it simply, the black-and-white Tseung Kwan O studio catches more than a dozen thefts every month, 80% of which are from Tiu Keng Leng.
Now that Chu Huan is using money from the Chu Family Charity Fund to help this place, it can be said that this is playing into the hands of the Hong Kong government. They are really worried that this place will become the second Kowloon Walled City.
Of course, such behavior was immediately reported by major newspapers in Hong Kong. Previously, "True News" called Chu Huan a heroic person in the business world, and now another newspaper called Chu Huan a philanthropist!
"Chairman, the company has arranged a donation ceremony. It will be on the 8th of next month, two days before the New Year. You must not forget it!"
Liang Risi was sitting in Chu Huan's office in Jiahu Building at this time and reminded him again.
The first month of 1975 is coming to an end, and this year’s New Year’s Eve falls on the 10th of February!
Liang Risi doesn't care what the purpose of establishing Chu's Charitable Fund is, but Liang Risi is very supportive of the matter itself. In her opinion, the significance of establishing Chu's Charitable Fund is very important, even more than that of Chu Huan becoming the largest shareholder of Li & Fung Group.
more important.
Because this means that Chu Huan will officially enter the top upper class society in Hong Kong.
The upper class is not just about money, it also requires fame!
Donations of 10 million per year are rare in Hong Kong at this time.
Originally, according to Liang Risi's idea, Chu Huan should have announced the establishment of the Chu Charitable Fund himself, but Chu Huan did not agree. If you don't agree, just agree. But at the first donation ceremony of the Chu Charitable Fund, Chu Huan
Huan will definitely appear.
Chu Huan looked helplessly at Liang Risi, debating: "Can I not go?"
Liang Risi shook his head firmly and said, "No!"
Then Liang Risi said helplessly: "Chairman, even if the real purpose of establishing the Chu Charitable Foundation is not here, you still have to do what you should do. The company has been doing publicity work on this matter during this time.
If you don't go, how can you be worthy of your colleagues in the company's public relations department..."
Seeing that Liang Risi was about to transform into Tang Monk, Chu Huan quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, why don't I go!"
After getting a positive answer from Chu Huan, Liang Risi finally left with satisfaction.
Chu Huan looked at Liang Risi's leaving figure and smiled helplessly.
...
Xiangjiang, Tiu Keng Ling!
Only when you come here do you know what the real slums of Xiangjiang are, and you can vaguely see the lonely tombs and crooked tombstones in the wilderness.
The housing situation is even worse. From the oil-paper shacks in the refugee camps, to the squatters and siding buildings built on the hills, to the private housing estates with clear property rights, the entire block here is a dirty and crowded shanty town. It almost looks like
There was no decent street, only crooked stone steps and winding paths.
In "Police Story", when Chen Jiaju arrested Zhu Tao, the flour man, the refugee camp he drove to was very similar to this one.
People who live here will choose to move out if they have certain conditions, but not everyone has this ability.
There is a shantytown in the area closest to Tiu Keng Ling Secondary School. The male owner here is Chen Pow-shan, who used to be a GD soldier, but now he is just a temporary recorder on the Tseung Kwan O set.
The construction of the black-and-white Tseung Kwan O studio here also provided job opportunities for some people in Tiu Keng Ling. Chen Baoshan, who had been unemployed, applied for the job and became the temporary recorder of the Tseung Kwan O studio.
Although the labor cost is not high, the advantage is stability, which is already very difficult in a place like Tiu Keng Ling.
It is precisely for this reason that Chen Baoshan can take his family to live closer to Tiu Keng Ling Secondary School. This can be regarded as a luxury area in Tiu Keng Ling, although it is also a shanty town.
"Why did you come back so early today? Is there nothing going on on the set?"
Chen Baoshan's wife asked curiously when she saw Chen Baoshan came back before midnight.
Chen Baoshan is about fifty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. When he was young, he should have been a handsome guy, but now he only has vicissitudes of life.
"When Cheng Long was filming, he was injured again. He was sent to the hospital, and the crew had no choice but to stop work!" Chen Baoshan said nonchalantly as he patted the dust off his body with a towel.
"Why is he injured again? Is this filming or fighting?" Chen Baoshan's wife said helplessly.
"What can I do? I have to go into any dangerous scene by myself. It's weird if I don't get hurt!" Chen Baoshan was used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, so he didn't care about the injuries Cheng Long suffered.
Chen Baoshan's wife murmured: "If you make so much money from a movie, you should be in it yourself!"
Chen Baoshan was a little envious when he heard his wife say this. He now works at the Tseung Kwan O studio, so he has naturally heard about the salaries of these actors. It is rumored that Cheng Long's salary for one movie is now 20,000 to 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, and two movies are enough.
Able to buy a property.
"If you envy others, it's better to work hard yourself. During this period of time, I earned money on the Tseung Kwan O studio, plus the little savings I had before, and..."
When he said this, Chen Baoshan's voice began to become smaller and he said: "After the New Year, we will take out those things and pawn them. With the money now, it should be enough to buy a property outside.
I’ve paid the down payment, and when the time comes, I’ll take my daughter and move out of this hellish place!”
When my wife heard this, she also showed an excited expression on her face and said, "If that's the case, that would be great."
Perhaps thinking of the happy life in the future, Chen Baoshan smiled a little more on his face and asked, "What did your good daughter do?"
Chen Baoshan fought in the war in his early years and never got married. He waited until he got to Tiu Keng Ling before marrying his current wife. Although he also has other children, he still cares most about his youngest daughter.
Chen Baoshan’s wife smiled and said: “I went to Kowloon with my classmates to play, I should be back soon!”
Chen Baoshan frowned slightly and said, "What is a girl doing running out all the time? What if she gets noticed by those short mules?"
Chen Baoshan knew how beautiful his daughter was, and even the gangsters in Diaojingling were thinking about it. If his fists weren't still strong, something would have happened!
Chen Baoshan’s wife said: “There are quite a few of them, they should be fine!”
Chen Baoshan shook his head and said: "Forget it, I'd better go out and take a look!"
When Chen Baoshan's wife saw this, she could only smile bitterly and shake her head.
Chen Baoshan walked out of the room and soon saw his eldest son running over in a panic. After seeing Chen Baoshan, he even shouted: "Dad, something happened, Yu Lian is being bullied!"
