In my lifetime, what storms haven't I weathered? What I care about least are these empty titles!
Call me stingy or narrow-minded, but all I can see are tangible benefits, and specifically, my own!
In my view, there's no such thing as a win-win situation!
After saying these words, Run Run Shaw felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.
He felt that he had completely blocked all possible lines of dialogue from Kobayashi Tenno.
I'm not afraid of reasoning with them or threats from public opinion.
He wanted to see what other tricks this young man had up his sleeve.
After speaking, Run Run Shaw made a very elegant "please" gesture, clearly indicating that he wanted Lin Huowang to back down and leave on his own.
The atmosphere in the office instantly plummeted to freezing point.
However, Lin Huowang did not leave; instead, his smile widened.
He slowly stood up and said:
“Sir Shao, I am truly here to discuss cooperation with you in good faith.”
Shaw leaned back in his chair and said with even more disdain, "But I don't see any sincerity in you."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Lin Huowang, however, calmly took out a delicate little blue medicine bottle from the inside pocket of his suit.
He unscrewed the bottle cap, poured out three blue pills, and gently placed them on the desk in front of Run Run Shaw.
Sir Shao,
Lin Huowang smiled and pointed to the three pills, saying, "This is my sincerity."
When Run Run Shaw looked at the three blue pills of unknown origin on the table, his expression changed instantly.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with vigilance and anger.
"What do you mean by that?!"
"Kobayashi, are you trying to force me to take drugs? In broad daylight, you're being far too blatant!"
Shaw thought to himself, "Is this kid being pushed to the limit by me and trying to control me with such underhanded means?"
This is absolutely outrageous!
Lin Huowang looked at his nervous expression and shook his head with a smile.
"Sir, you've misunderstood. This is not the same medicine as that one. I believe you desperately need it right now."
Run Run Shaw simply didn't believe it. He waved his hand and said firmly, "No matter what kind of medicine you give me, I won't take it!"
"Does taking your medicine grant me immortality and make me young again?"
He felt that Lin Huowang was insulting his intelligence.
Unexpectedly, Lin Huowang nodded seriously and said:
"Immortality is definitely out of the question. But... this rejuvenation does have a similar effect."
"Um?"
Shaw's eyes widened instantly as he stared intently at Lin Huowang. "What do you mean? Explain yourself!"
Rejuvenation?
How is that possible!
Could this medicine be some kind of magic pill?
Lin Huowang wasn't in a hurry to explain. He pointed to the telephone on the table and said slowly, "Governor Sir Murray MacLehose, HSBC's patriarch Sir William Shum, and the old man from the Lin family who sold me CTV are all eating."
Moreover, they all say it works well and helps them regain their youthful appearance.
"Sir, if you don't believe me, you can call Government House right now and ask."
When Run Run Shaw heard these names, his heart skipped a beat.
MacLehose? Sumpil? The old master of the Lin family?
No wonder, no wonder the Lin family unexpectedly sold Jiayi TV to Kobayashi Tenno.
However, he remained vigilant in the slightest.
Instead, he became even more furious and said, "Stop trying to intimidate me! Don't try to trick me into taking your medicine! If I'm controlled by you because of this medicine, I'll have nowhere to turn for help! I, Run Run Shaw, am not that stupid!"
Besides, do you think you can just call the Governor of Hong Kong whenever you want? You're so arrogant! You think too highly of yourself, and you think too highly of me!
Let me tell you, even if I were a knighted by the Queen herself, if I were to call the Governor of Hong Kong, the call would have to go through his assistants at every turn, and it would only be possible if His Excellency had the time and the willingness to answer!
Run Run Shaw felt that Kobayashi Tenma was simply bragging without paying taxes.
Do you really think that just because your Hongkong Land Group has a cooperative project with the Hong Kong government, you can just meet with the government whenever you want and get through to them on the phone?
Hong Kong Island is still under British rule. The British Hong Kong government is the absolute authority on Hong Kong Island, and the Governor of Hong Kong is like the emperor of Hong Kong Island.
Every time he was summoned by the Governor of Hong Kong, Run Run Shaw was extremely solemn, feeling both apprehensive and honored.
But now, in Kobayashi Tenno’s words, the sanctity of the Hong Kong government has vanished, which makes Run Run Shaw feel very unrealistic. He feels even more that Kobayashi Tenno is talking nonsense and just wants to use the power of the Hong Kong government and the governor to bolster his own power.
Such petty tricks were nothing new to Run Run Shaw, who had weathered many storms in the business world.
However, Lin Huowang shook his head and chuckled softly.
He didn't answer or argue, but walked straight up, picked up the phone on Shaw's desk, and skillfully dialed a number.
That was a very short internal Hong Kong government number.
Shaw watched his actions with a mixture of surprise and doubt.
Is this kid really... going to call the Governor of Hong Kong?
The phone was answered after only two rings.
A respectful male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, this is the Governor's Office."
He really is the Governor's assistant.
