Faced with a barrage of questions from reporters, Li Ka-shing simply smiled and did not give a direct answer, but instead continued:
"To answer your questions, I can use another piece of news. This is the second thing I want to announce today, a major positive development."
"That is, we are acquiring Orange, the company owned by Eagle Telecom, and the deal is done. Next is the signing process. The signing ceremony will be held in a few days."
"Many people may not be very familiar with Orange, so let me give you a brief introduction to the company."
Next, Li Ka-shing talked about Orange's business scope and 2G network.
Many mobile phones now use 2G.
In the future, it will evolve into 3G, 4G, and 5G, which is the future direction of mobile communication development.
2G services will greatly benefit Hutchison Whampoa in further expanding its business in Europe.
If possible, they will expand their business to Australia, the Americas and Asia, contributing to the development of local telecommunications and enabling people to use convenient and fast telecommunications services.
Similarly, to give back to our shareholders, we will also consider Hong Kong as an important investment destination in the future.
"The group had already spent $8 billion to secure this business. In the last two days, in order to speed up the negotiations, we spent an additional $350 million and finally won the project."
"As for other details about this project, you can ask my staff member, who will answer your questions carefully."
"In addition, if you still have questions about this project or need to verify anything, you can directly contact the UK's business or telecommunications departments for consultation and to learn more about the relevant situation. I believe you can obtain relevant information and evidence from them."
Although Li Jiacheng said that, everyone still focused their attention on him.
The reporters weren't particularly interested in the specific technical details. What they were interested in were Li Ka-shing's actions in this stock market battle.
After saying that, Li Jiacheng prepared to leave.
However, when reporters rushed up to him and pestered him, he said a few more words.
"Because a large portion of our funds was tied up in the Orange acquisition, our efforts to rescue the market were insufficient. I apologize to our shareholders for this."
"In addition, I would like to say to those speculators, thank you for your attention. We will continue to do what we should do as always."
"Our goal is to make Hutchison Whampoa's telecommunications and infrastructure company one of the largest mobile operators in Europe. Rest assured, as long as you remain steadfast in your belief in us, we are not afraid of any challenge."
"We, as a single entity, have withstood the attacks of so many international speculators, and we will continue to achieve victory."
"Dear shareholders, please trust us. I and my companies will bring you substantial profits."
Although they didn't understand many of the technical details, the reporters had a general understanding of what they needed to know.
This major piece of good news first spread in all directions via radio waves.
Soon, the newspapers also sprang into action, distributing the latest special edition to everyone.
So everyone knew that the Lee Group was investing in the Orange Telecom project. The project had a particularly bright future and had already achieved significant initial successes.
In other words, the Li Group is not short of money, but rather it uses its money wisely.
Upon hearing this major positive announcement from the Li Group, shareholders instantly erupted in excitement.
"I knew it! They definitely had a chance to turn things around!" an excited shareholder who still supported Li Ka-shing said.
"What a pity, really..." The shareholders who sold their Li's shares sighed repeatedly, heartbroken and regretting that they had acted too quickly.
"Hehe, I'm rich, I'm rich!" Some people didn't sell their shares in the Li Group; instead, they bought more to show their support.
Unexpectedly, we made a fortune.
In fact, many people want to sell their stocks. However, for various reasons, they either want to wait and see for a while longer or don't have time to deal with them.
But regardless, investor confidence will recover. Market confidence in the Lee family group is also recovering.
As a result, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the prices of several stocks in the Li Group reversed their downward trend and began to rise, and the rise was significant.
5.3.
5.4.
5.7.
It has climbed so much in such a short time.
Those shareholders who still held shares in the Li Group became even more elated, their eyes filled with tears.
"They're back! They're back! Our money is back!"
Investors' confidence in Li's stocks is growing.
Many people have started buying back shares of the Lee Group, and many have started to go long.
Accompanying this was a rapid recovery in Li Ka-shing's businesses and stock prices.
Those speculators who shorted the Li Group's stock were all dumbfounded and stunned. "Impossible, it's unbelievable."
The joyous room suddenly froze, as if it had been frozen by an ice spell.
That joyful atmosphere seems like a distant memory, never to return.
Snap!
Snap!
Snap!
Several wine glasses fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.
The blood-red wine soaked the carpet, as if blood were flowing from a wound and onto the floor.
The remaining wine in the shards of the glass reflected a crimson, crystalline light, seemingly reflecting the somber and gloomy mood in the hearts of everyone present.
The fat man slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's over, it's all over!"
HSBC headquarters.
Li Xiaoman: "Chen Dong was right... Ah, the man I've set my sights on is truly amazing! He's practically a god!"
Just then, the phone in Li Xiaoman's office kept ringing; they were all calls from major clients expressing their gratitude to her.
"Mr. Li, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I would have been in big trouble this time, and I might even have gone bankrupt!"
"Mr. Li, you've saved my whole family this time. How can I ever thank you enough?"
"Mr. Li, do you have time to invite me for tea?"
The constant stream of thank-you calls left Li Xiaoman somewhat overwhelmed, but she thoroughly enjoyed it.
I haven't been this happy in a long time!
It turned out that after receiving Chen Dong's call, Li Xiaoman told many of their major clients about the news, asking them to pay attention and emphasize that the Li family could not possibly fall so easily.
Given Li Ka-shing's cunning and shrewdness, he will surely have a way to turn the tables.
Many clients heeded Li Xiaoman's advice.
They took corresponding measures to hedge.
