As for shareholders, in their eyes, the share price of Hutchison Whampoa is not even worth fifty.

This is not nonsense, but the actual situation.

In fact, the first person who set his sights on Hutchison Whampoa was Li Suhua.

But he failed.

Later he sold his shares to the charter king.

It was precisely because of this transaction that Li Suhua was able to accomplish the feat of swallowing a whale and successfully acquire Hutchison Whampoa.

At that time, Li Suhua and Hutchison Whampoa rushed to buy Wharf Holdings shares, pushing the share price from more than ten yuan to forty-six, the historical high.

After both sides stopped fighting, the stock price fell all the way and is now less than 40 yuan.

Remember, this happened last year...

As soon as they met, Niu Bijian extended his hands to Xu Xiangqian with a smile on his face and greeted him in broken Cantonese, "Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Niu Bijian."

This name is very famous in Hong Kong and few people don’t know it.

Especially for stock investors, anyone who dares to say that they don’t know Newbigin will be laughed to death.

Xu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, then he reached out his hand blankly and asked, "Mr. Newbigin, do you know me?"

"You hold so many Wharf Holdings shares. As the chairman of Wharf Holdings, of course I know you."

Xu Xiangqian pondered for a moment, "Mr. Newbijian, are you here to see me about the stocks I hold?"

Niu Bijian quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, Mr. Xu, you misunderstood. I came here because of you."

"Ah?" Xu Xiangqian was a little confused.

Before he could ask, Niubijian continued, "Mr. Xu, I want to be friends with you. Are you willing?"

Now Xu Xiangqian finally understood everything.

I didn't expect that you, a foreigner with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually understand the ways of the world.

Xu Xiangqian pretended to be delighted and said, "It's my honor to be friends with you."

Hearing this, Newbijian was so happy that he asked someone to bring a stool and sat next to Xu Xiangqian to chat with him.

He first asked about Xu Xiangqian's personal and family situation, and then asked about his views on Hutchison Whampoa.

Xu Xiangqian was very cunning. He said what he should say and kept silent about what he shouldn't say.

The two sides chatted for more than an hour, and Newbijian left satisfied.

After he left, Li Xu and the other two didn't mention him at all.

After staying at the exchange until the stock market closed, the three returned to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Xu started to complain, "That Niubijian is so stingy. He makes friends with people but doesn't even treat them to a meal."

Xu Xiangqian echoed, "He's really stingy. If the charter king offers the same price as him, I would rather sell my shares to him."

A busy man like Newbigin was willing to spend more than an hour chatting with Xu Xiangqian just to build a good relationship with him.

In this way, when the charter king can't restrain himself and rushes to buy stocks in the future, if the bids are the same, Newbijian will have priority to buy the stocks from Xu Xiangqian.

Newbijian's idea was right, but it was a pity that he didn't implement it well enough.

Not only did the goal not achieveable, but it also caused Xu Xiangqian to develop a rebellious mentality.

If Newbigin knew about this, he would probably regret it to death.

Li Xu sneered, "A man like him definitely can't offer as much as the charter king."

Just as Xu Xiangqian was about to respond, he heard someone knocking on the door.

He went over and opened the door, only to see a large group of people standing outside.

The leader was a man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He looked Xu Xiangqian over and said cheerfully, "I suppose you are Mr. Xu Xiangqian, right?"

Xu Xiangqian hesitated, "Who are you?"

"My last name is Bao."

This surname was so unique that Xu Xiangqian exclaimed without even thinking, "Are you the charter king?"

"It's me, Mr. Xu. I've prepared a banquet at this hotel. Can we eat and chat at the same time?"

Xu Xiangqian subconsciously glanced into the room.

Seeing this, the charterer quickly said, "Mr. Xu, you can bring your two friends along, too."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangqian was no longer polite. He first thanked him, then turned around and went in to call someone.

Li Xu didn't find it strange at all that the charter king came to him.

Because for people at his and Newbigin's level, it was too easy to find out something.

This is also the reason why Xu Xiangqian did not put the blame on the exchange staff when he knew his identity was leaked.

After the three of them came out, the charterer asked, "Mr. Xu, what should I call these two friends?"

This room was opened using Xu Xiangqian's identity, so the charterer was unable to find the names of Li Xu and Li Chen.

Xu Xiangqian introduced Li Xu and the other two, emphasizing that they were his cousins. After listening, Bao Chuanwang greeted them and then led the three of them to the banquet hall.

There was only one table in the banquet hall, which was very large and was filled with dishes.

The boat charterer invited the three of them to take a seat, and then asked the bodyguard to stand at the door.

At this time, there were only five people left in the room, and the fifth person was the second son-in-law of the ship charter king.

The ship charter king has four daughters and no sons.

Among his four sons-in-law, the second one has the best business talent and is also his favorite, so he takes his second son-in-law with him wherever he goes in order to train and educate him.

The five of them ate and chatted, all talking about trivial family matters.

After three rounds of dishes and five flavors of wine, Baochuan Wang put down his chopsticks and got down to business. "Mr. Xu, let me be frank. I invited you to dinner today because I have something to ask of you."

Good job.

These words stunned Li Xu and the other two.

They all thought that the charter king invited them to dinner to build a good relationship, but who would have thought that he would suddenly show up with a request.
