Under Li Zekai's increasingly surprised gaze, Li Zeju explained the matter in a few words.
"Originally, we needed to negotiate the acquisition of Orange for a while longer to achieve better results and greater returns."
"But now that this has happened, we can't delay any longer. These past two days, my dad and I have been pushing this case forward, and we've given up quite a bit of our interests."
"Of course, we also gained a lot from making this happen. Many times, we can't just look at the monetary gains, but also at the reputation, the connections we make with various parties, the deterrence against bad actors, and so on."
Both Li Zeju and Li Zekai nodded in agreement.
Although Li Zekai felt a little uncomfortable, he knew that this was unavoidable and a choice made out of necessity.
He also understood that his kidnapping objectively created a huge loophole for the company, making it a weakness that could be exploited by its competitors.
His father and brother had no choice but to resort to this method. Although they had kept it from him for two days, he shouldn't overthink it, so he quickly dispelled that feeling.
As Father just said, many secrets are best left unrevealed until the very last moment. Revealing them at the right time can prevent failure and maximize their effectiveness.
So he kept praising his father and brother for their amazing work.
Li Ka-shing thought for a moment and said, "Let's set the time for 11 o'clock. We can invite the media now."
"Okay, Daddy." Li Zeju agreed and immediately began making arrangements.
Meanwhile, the stock market remained gloomy and desolate.
"Is Superman even capable of this?"
"Sell now, or you'll lose a fortune!"
"Never mind, I'm selling now, and I'll never buy Li's stock again!"
"Waaah, this is my savings of decades..."
The investors had different thoughts, but most of them held a pessimistic attitude.
They hoped for a miracle, but the longer they waited, the more disappointed they became.
"It looks like it's about to be suspended from trading, but there's still no movement. The Li family really can't be relied on."
"Yes, they can't be relied on anymore."
Suddenly, a startling piece of news began to circulate among major media outlets in Hong Kong.
Then, many ordinary people also received this news through their own channels.
"Hurry, hurry! The Li family has some important news to release!"
"I don't know what the news is, whether it's good or bad."
"I don't know, it could be good or it could be bad."
"It probably won't get better. Could it be that they're about to declare bankruptcy?"
"No way, it's that bad?"
"Forget it, let's go quickly, we'll find out when we get there!"
Reporters flocked to the Lee Group building to attend the press conference.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The speculators were overjoyed.
"Haha, the Li family can't hold on any longer!"
"Give it your all, intensify the short selling, and bring the Li family down!"
"That's not a good idea. I've already invested hundreds of millions. If I invest more, the risk will be too great."
"What's there to be afraid of? I've already invested everything I have. The Li family is doomed this time. With so many of us and so many organizations working together, how can we not bring down a mere Li family?"
Chen Dong also saw the message.
Wangcai flicked the manuscript paper in his hand and said to Chen Dong with a smile, "Boss, the time to reveal the answer has come."
"That's right, let's see what kind of news the Li family will release."
"Regardless of the specific news, I believe your judgment is correct. The Li family has the means to turn the tide. This time, you have led us to make a fortune again, not by shorting, but by going long, going against the trend, and ultimately achieving a glorious victory."
Chen Dong simply smiled at Wangcai's barrage of flattery.
"Oh, right, I need to make a phone call."
After saying that, Chen Dong called Annie.
He vaguely remembered that during his conversation with Annie yesterday, she mentioned that he should keep her informed.
She wanted to see Li Ka-shing's comeback tactics as soon as possible.
Of course, she was even more eager to see how much Chen Dong, who had seen through Li Ka-shing's methods, would achieve.
Chen Dong told her that Li Ka-shing was going to hold a press conference.
“Let’s wait and see,” Anne readily agreed.
HSBC headquarters.
Li Xiaoman also received news that Li Ka-shing was about to hold a press conference.
"Ah, they really have come this far. It seems that what Chen Dong said is very likely true. They have a way to turn the tide at Zero Point."
Hong Kong boy.
Jinlifeng Headquarters.
Zhu Yuehua also received the news.
"Unexpectedly, Chen Dong was actually right! Will his guess come true?"
I was filled with curiosity about Chen Dong's prediction.
She wondered if someone as talented as him, who had demonstrated tremendous ability in finance and investment, could have predicted the right outcome this time.
Will he continue his meteoric rise, or will he encounter a major setback?
The reporters arrived at the press conference venue as quickly as possible.
The layout here is very simple.
The front desk had several tables, while the area below it had rows of chairs.
Before long, the entire press conference venue was packed with people.
A forest of long guns and short cannons.
They are always ready to release important news.
The reporters were all eagerly anticipating a major revelation from the Li Group.
Time passed slowly, but everyone felt it was going by too slowly, and they kept checking their watches.
11 o'clock.
Li Ka-shing, Li Zeju, Li Zekai, and several other senior executives made an appearance.
For a moment, the camera shutter clicked incessantly.
