The next morning.

The front page headlines of major newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong are about the acquisition of the Chinese Bank Building.

Ming Pao: Shocking! China Bank acquired by the son of a shipping tycoon for HK$130 million at a 20% premium. Does this signal a rebound in the property market?

Sing Tao Daily: Shocking event in early 1973! Bao Junyi, son of the charter king, aggressively acquired the China Bank Building. Does this mark the beginning of the rise of the Chinese?

Oriental Daily: Big Move! The Bank of China Building Welcomes a New Owner, Signaling the Decline of British Capital

......

The newsstand was crowded with people, it was very lively, and exclamations were heard from time to time.

"Lao Wang, I'm so angry with you. Why do you come to buy newspapers so late today? If you were any later, I would have sold out." said the newspaper owner.

Old Wang’s name is Wang Youfu. He is a middle-level manager at Cheung Kong Group in Li Jiacheng. He has the habit of reading the newspaper every morning and always comes to buy one.

"Old Sun, what big thing happened today? Why is business so booming?" asked Old Wang.

Old Sun said happily, "Big news! The youngest son of the Wang family, the charter ship owner, has acquired the Chinese Bank. This is the first time in many years that a Chinese has acquired Yingzi assets."

"Fuck! Hurry up, give me one!"

"Tsk tsk, Xiao Baosheng is really amazing. He brings honor to us Chinese." said Old Wang.

The middle-aged man next to him said: "In recent years, our Chinese-funded enterprises have grown bigger and bigger. This may be the beginning of the rise of Chinese capital."

"You are right. Our Cheung Kong Group has also recently started to raise funds and expand outward." Lao Wang said.

"Street bastard, are you really sad or not?"

"If we raise funds from the outside, I plan to buy some. After all, Cheung Kong's market value has been growing in recent years." Old Sun said with a smile.

"Old Sun, aren't you going to save this for your unlucky son to buy a wedding house?" said the middle-aged woman next to him.

Old Sun said helplessly: "House prices are rising too fast now. Let's see if we can make some money from the stock market to buy a house."

The acquisition of the Chinese Bank has sparked widespread discussion among the people of Hong Kong, and the newsstand here is just one example.

On the other side, the press conference held at the Governor's Office was crowded with reporters.

Dozens of Hong Kong media newspapers, such as Oriental Daily, Ming Pao, Evening News, and Sing Tao Daily, were present.

At the press conference, officials from various departments of Hong Kong were sitting on both sides, waiting for the event to finally begin.

The time came to 8:00 in the morning.

Governor Murray MacLehose appeared on the scene with several core cadres, and Bao Junyi followed behind.

Mai Lihao stood calmly in front of the microphone and said, "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I have a good news announcement for you all at this press conference today."

"Regarding the reform of Tseung Kwan O, 150 mu of land near the eastern district will be demolished to build an automotive industrial park. The total investment is HK$5 billion, with HK$1 billion invested in the first phase. This will boost related industrial chains and create jobs."

"This major investment is also the largest industrial investment in Hong Kong in the past five years."

"This is our Hong Kong Bao Junyi, also known as Xiao Baosheng. Welcome him to tell everyone about the future plans for the park."

When Bao Junyi stood in front of the stage, looking at the dozens of plane noses flashing in front of him, he stood confidently and upright without a trace of stage fright.

At this time, in the Zhang family's old house in the Xiangjiang Hillside Villa, the family had just finished breakfast and was sitting on the sofa chatting.

Suddenly, I heard a familiar name on the TV news and saw Bao Junyi standing on the stage, looking confident and sunny, smiling at the reporters below.

Zhang Yuliang looked at Bao Junyi on TV and couldn't believe it. He had changed so much. A few years ago, he was a gangster hanging out outside and a frequent visitor to nightclubs and bars. How could he have changed so much after studying abroad?

Zhang Yuliang asked Zhang Linger, "Is this Bao Junyi?"

"Yes, I met him a few months ago at a cocktail party hosted by Brother Huo Zhengyu. He had just returned to China a few days ago." Zhang Linger said after calming down.

"After studying abroad, he has changed a lot. I can see the arrogance of a young man in his eyes, and his disregard for all obstacles to his confidence." Zhang Yuliang said slowly.

Zhang Ling'er said, "The news said he was going to build an automobile industrial park and invest 5 billion Hong Kong dollars, with 1 billion invested in the first phase. Where did he get so much money?"

"Bao Yuguang definitely doesn't have it. Global shipping is struggling right now. It seems this guy is extraordinary. Judging from the scale of his ambitions, he is also quite ambitious." Zhang Yuliang said.

After hearing her brother and father's analysis, Zhang Linger's eyes showed a hint of sadness.

If Dad hadn't broken off the engagement and stood up to support the Bao family, there might have been one more person on the stage. That would have been great. Unfortunately...

Haojiang.

The same thing happened in the He family's old house.

Gambling King He said angrily, "How dare that Bao family kid come back? If he hadn't run away quickly, I would have broken his legs."

Gambling King He and Bao Yugang have been close friends for many years and have watched Bao Junyi grow up together. If it weren't for this incident, they wouldn't have been so isolated until now.

"However, after not seeing them for a few years, there have been quite a lot of changes. They are quite ambitious. It's not easy to grab a share of the automotive industry from developed countries in Europe and the United States with such a small amount of funds."

"Without a strong industrial foundation, it is difficult to open up the relevant industrial chain. If we do OEM, I don't know how long it will take to recover the cost of 5 billion. It is better to go into real estate." Gambling King He analyzed.

He Caoqiong retorted: "Dad, that gangster is already very powerful. He made more than 1 billion at such a young age. You didn't have that much money back then."

"You little bitch, how can you look down on your daddy?"

"I was learning from your grandfather at that time, which delayed my going out to explore the world. Otherwise, let alone tens of billions, hundreds of billions would be a piece of cake. Otherwise, I would not have expanded the family more than ten times in just over ten years." Gambling King He said unyieldingly.
