Of course, many people do not believe that Li Ka-shing will fail, but rather that he can make a comeback.
Because his past experiences show that he has this ability.
Just like in 1967 when most people left Hong Kong, he went against the trend, undeterred by the harsh environment and bleak prospects of Hong Kong, and bought a lot of real estate.
Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.
Given the current market panic, Li Ka-shing is unlikely to react in the same way as the mainstream market; he must have some trump cards or backup plans.
...
In a short time, various viewpoints and opinions emerged and became widely accepted.
However, as the Li Group's stock price continued to decline, there were fewer and fewer voices supporting Li Ka-shing, and the support became increasingly weak.
Those who won the debate were not happy, as many of them suffered significant losses.
This traumatic experience led them to hurl insults and curses.
He vehemently criticized Li Ka-shing for his incompetence and senility.
Some people also criticized Zhang Xiaoqiang, blaming him for daring to kidnap Li Ka-shing's son, causing them to suffer such a great loss.
They hope the police will catch Zhang Xiaoqiang and his gang as soon as possible, sentence them, and avenge them.
Then, many people criticized the Hong Kong government, believing that it was caused by its incompetence.
The police were also criticized as prime examples of incompetence.
They will only waste taxpayers' money and public funds.
This led some people to threaten to take to the streets in protest.
In Li Ka-shing's office.
"Daddy, you wanted to see me?" Li Zeju strode into Li Jiacheng's office.
Behind him followed Li Zekai.
"Kai, why didn't you stay home and rest? Why did you come over?" Li Jiacheng asked with concern when he saw Li Zekai's slightly pale face.
After undergoing surgery, Li Zekai returned home from the hospital on the same day.
He couldn't stay in the hospital.
Ultimately, once his fingers were reattached, there were no major problems.
Of course, it's also important to prevent complications or other problems.
Therefore, Li Ka-shing hired professional caregivers and highly skilled doctors to come to his home to look after Richard Li at all times. It seems that Richard Li is recovering well.
"Daddy, I couldn't stay at home, so I came to come and see you. I'm so sorry about what happened this time, it's all my fault!" Li Zekai said, his face full of shame.
Li Jiacheng shook his head, looking at him with affection.
"Silly child, this has nothing to do with you, how can I blame you? You are completely a victim. Sit down and get some rest!"
After Li Jiacheng finished speaking, he glanced at Li Zeju without making a sound and nodded secretly.
It seems that Li Zeju did not tell him about himself and his plans.
In this respect, Li Zeju has indeed inherited many aspects of his personality.
However, young people certainly have many shortcomings.
Even now, he has not told anyone about his plans, not even Li Zekai.
It can be said that this one advantage alone can overshadow many of its other shortcomings.
This is a good thing.
The most important thing for a person is to know what to say and what not to say.
Secrets that need to be kept must be kept.
Just like I told Li Zeju a couple of days ago, you have to keep secrets when doing business, and you also have to keep secrets when going to war.
As the saying goes: A ruler who is not discreet will lose his country, and a minister who is not discreet will lose his life.
A crucial method for keeping secrets is to feign inability when capable and feign capability when incapable.
A master is adept at concealing their true intentions.
This secret can be hidden deep underground or high above the heavens; when the time is right, it will strike the opponent with lightning speed.
Li Ka-shing then said to Li Zeju, "You've been watching our stock price, haven't you?"
“Yes, I’ve been keeping an eye on it!” Li Zeju’s expression was grave. “When should we release that news?”
"What do you think?" Li Jiacheng asked in return.
Li Zekai watched his father and eldest brother solving a riddle, and he was a little curious.
However, he did not interrupt rashly.
Li Zeju thought for a moment and said:
"I think it's about time."
"Although it's still quite a while before the stock is suspended, I think it's better to announce it as soon as possible, just to be on the safe side. Now is a good time."
Li Jiacheng nodded in satisfaction, quite pleased. "Good, it seems you really listened to what I said."
"One should not take all the benefits, nor should one use all the power; this is exactly the principle at play."
"Many people think that I'm a kind and honest elder because I don't cut corners in the business world. What do you think?"
Both Li Zeju and Li Zekai nodded.
Li Zeju added, "I believe that you have inherited the Chinese tradition of being tolerant and kind to others."
Li Zekai also said, "And there's the saying, 'Great virtue carries all things!'"
“What you’re saying isn’t wrong, but the fundamental reason is that this is in my best interest. I hope you understand that. Things always turn around when they reach their extreme, and you can’t push things to their limit, otherwise, it will be the worst thing for you.”
“I understand, Daddy,” Li Zeju and Li Zekai said in unison.
They all realized that Li Ka-shing was revealing the ultimate secret of his business acumen to them.
Outsiders can only speculate about Li Ka-shing's motives based on his behavior or superficial characteristics; they know what he does but not why he does it.
A person who doesn't understand the truth, or who only knows a little bit and acts on what they've gleaned from the market, is very likely to go astray.
For example, in business, if you try to project an image of a kind and honest elder but are ruthless when you should be, you will suffer a great loss.
Being cold and tough all the time can also lead to significant losses. Simply put, it means having no friends and being viewed with suspicion by everyone.
At this moment, Li Ka-shing revealed the ultimate secret to his business success to his two sons.
Upon hearing their father's words, both Li Zeju and Li Zekai showed joy on their faces, as if they had suddenly realized what was going on.
"In fact, this is what traditional Chinese culture calls the balance of strength and gentleness. Of course, knowing when to be strong and when to be gentle is a matter of skill and depends on one's own understanding."
“Alright, the mystery of our plan can now be revealed.” Li Ka-shing looked at Li Ze-kai and said, “You can know now. As you know, right now, those speculators outside are eyeing us covetously, attacking from all sides to suppress the stock price…”
Richard Li's expression was somber. "Yes, I am fully aware of everything, which is why I feel helpless. I have become the fuse for external attacks against us."
“You don’t need to blame yourself; on the contrary, I should apologize to you,” Li Jiacheng said.
"Oh, Daddy, why is this happening?" Li Zekai exclaimed in surprise.
“Ah Ju, why don’t you tell your brother?” Li Jiacheng gestured to Li Zeju.
Li Zeju then briefly explained the plan he and his son had devised to Li Zekai.
Li Zekai was dumbfounded.
He never imagined that his father and brother would use his kidnapping to orchestrate such a grand scheme.
