Cheng Yutong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No matter how well we calculated, we can no longer control ourselves." MacLehose nodded. This was the direction of the political trend.
Should we continue to make quick money by selling luxury houses as a business, or follow Kobayashi and get involved in this "half-charity, half-political" muddy business to gain reputation and long-term policy dividends? I'm afraid everyone has to weigh this carefully in their hearts.
This Xiaolin Tianwang has a huge appetite. He not only wants to own a piece of land, he wants to reshape the rules of the game in Hong Kong Island real estate! "
Cheung Kong Holdings headquarters, Li Ka-shing’s office.
"Bang!"
A fine Jingdezhen thin-bodied white porcelain teapot was smashed to pieces under Li Chaoren's extremely furious palm, and fragments and cold tea splashed everywhere!
His face was twisted and red with anger, and he cursed:
"Home ownership for all?! High-sounding words! A mean trick!"
He almost roared, at the air and at the secretary who was standing trembling at the door.
"What do you mean by pleading for the people?! Isn't it just that seeing that MacLehose's term is coming to an end and he's desperate for political achievements, he's rushing to lick that foreigner's shoes?!
He used the blood and flesh of hundreds of thousands of small property owners on Hong Kong Island to embellish the name of Lam! He used the profits of our entire real estate industry to flatter MacLehose! Shameful! Despicable!

And Li Chaoren worked so hard to build up his family fortune step by step, only to be stepped on by this little bastard in the end and gain both fame and fortune?!
Seeing that he had calmed down a bit, the secretary carefully handed him a wet towel. "Mr. Li, then...our response to the commercial projects and raw material supply..."
Li Ka-shing grabbed a towel and wiped his face roughly. His eyes were still blazing with anger, but now they were replaced with his usual cold calculation: "Respond? How else can we respond? With MacLehose standing behind him, are we going to openly oppose Home Ownership Scheme? And offend tens of millions of potential residents and the Hong Kong government? Foolish!"
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said coldly, "If you need to cooperate, then cooperate. But you must closely monitor every step! Dig out all the details of his 'Home Ownership Scheme' cost structure, land source, and government subsidies!"
Since he wants to be a 'philanthropist', let him do it cleanly! I don't believe that Xiaolin Tianwang would really do a business that loses money? As long as we can find some illegal or unreasonable evidence... Humph! We have plenty of things to write about..."
