The ocean shipping company not only owns ships and ports, but also currently has all its shipping business in Hong Kong under contracts that are signed until 1997. After the contracts expire, since it is no longer within the scope of mainland China's takeover, it will be sold off in one go and make a huge profit.
This business has been on the radar of many people for at least ten years.
The reason why the shipping magnate was able to get the support of the gambling king's family and form a marriage alliance at the critical moment when he was about to go bankrupt was because he had his eye on it.
While it appears that the final ownership will be determined through bidding, the attitudes of the governor and Colonel Rango, who is directly in charge, will be crucial behind the scenes. Whoever they favor will have the greatest chance of winning the bid.
Master Er was also guessing, but he said in a low voice, "Gu Sir has always maintained a neutral attitude. Although it's a bit late now, since he's contacting Nie Zhao, he obviously wants to make a statement and clarify his position before returning."
Nie Zhao invited him to the racetrack, and Inspector Gu came. Indeed, he was publicly expressing his opinion and taking sides.
Uncle Er said, "Some time ago, a white foreigner who runs a construction company approached me and offered to test the foundation of my building for free to see if it contained sea sand. But I refused. You know, the bidding for the Ocean Company is about to start. The person who came to me was actually sent by Nie's rivals. As the largest real estate developer in Hong Kong, using sea sand to build buildings is a black mark."
Chen Rou said, "Ah Zhao isn't afraid of this; he's very cautious."
Master Er nodded, but also said, "If you want to find fault, you can always find something. The governor will support Nie Zhao, but I always feel that if they want to, they can find problems elsewhere..."
He spoke earnestly, and Chen Rou listened attentively, but then Master Er suddenly stopped and laughed.
Chen Rou turned around and saw A Yuan holding a small toy horse, walking towards her while making a voiceover: "Giddy up, giddy up."
Kids will play with any toy you give them, but as soon as the music started and the horses came out of the pen, the little horse figurine in A Yuan's hand suddenly lost its appeal. At this moment, Grandpa Er couldn't care less about business. He pointed to the horses on the green field and asked A Yuan, "Which one do you like? I'll give it to you."
The music was loud, but Dong Ye's voice was even louder: "Which one do you like? How about the black one? That belongs to your father-in-law. I'll take you for a ride in a bit, so you can take a look. Do you want one?"
Chen Rou guessed that her grandfather's tricycle was probably going to be retired because A Yuan had seen something better.
Horses, so many magnificent horses!
