After acquiring Hang Seng Bank's shares, Shen Dong's equity stake reached 77%.
If they can acquire another 22% of the shares held by Li Ka-shing and his associates, then the New Territories warehouse will become entirely Shen Dong's personal property.
With the New Territories warehouse, Sham Tung will become a leader in Hong Kong Island's foreign trade, just like the shipping magnate, and its influence will naturally increase significantly.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Dong met Li Ka-shing at a tea restaurant.
"Sir Li, it's been a long time." Shen Dong greeted him with a smile.
Li Ka-shing stood up and said, "Mr. Shen, every time we meet, you manage to shock me greatly. You are truly remarkable."
Seeing Li Ka-shing stand up to greet him, Shen Dong knew that the other party had already regarded him as someone of the same level.
Shen Dong said, "Sir Li, you flatter me."
After the two sat down, Li Ka-shing said, "You've completed the acquisition of the New Territories warehouse, haven't you?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Except for the 22 percent of shares you hold and the 1 percent of shares circulating outside, I have already bought the rest."
Li Ka-shing sighed and said, "It seems we have no choice but to sell it to you."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "The properties in the New Territories warehouse are all of excellent quality, with annual profits reaching at least US$200 million. You can keep your shares and receive dividends every year."
Li Ka-shing said, "Using this money to buy a few plots of land and build a few commercial buildings will yield much higher profits than the New Territories warehouse."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's true. Today I bought the New Territories warehouse for HK$130. If you want to sell it to me, I'll still offer the same price."
Li Ka-shing said, "Two days ago it was HK$180, now it's HK$130. That's quite a difference."
Shen Dong said, "The HK$180 involved the controlling stake in the New Territories warehouse. Now the controlling stake issue is no longer a problem. I can offer HK$130, which is already very good."
Li Ka-shing said, "Then let's sign the contract."
Li Ka-shing took out two share transfer agreements from his bag and handed them to Shen Dong.
Shen Dong was taken aback and said, "It seems you were prepared all along."
Li Ka-shing said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
Shen Dong put away the agreement and said, "I need to have my lawyer take a look at it."
Li Ka-shing's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He said, "We wouldn't stoop to doing anything underhanded with the agreement."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "A business worth billions of Hong Kong dollars requires me to be extremely cautious. Please forgive me, Sir Li."
Li Ka-shing said coldly, "Mr. Shen, your actions have posed a serious threat to us, and we will not stand idly by."
Shen Dong said, “During my years in Hung Hing, I’ve experienced countless life and death situations. Death means nothing to me anymore. Believe it or not, even if you win in the end, at most I’ll become a penniless pauper and go back to being a nobody. But your four major families will not only suffer heavy losses, but many of your members will also die. Especially you and the other three, I will absolutely not allow you to live.”
Li Ka-shing was deeply shaken.
When Shen Dong spoke just now, his expression was calm and his tone was even, as if he were stating a fact.
However, Li Ka-shing sensed a strong murderous intent in Shen Dong's words.
"Are you threatening me?" Li Ka-shing roared.
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Just kidding. I'm not even thirty years old yet. I don't want to go to jail, nor do I want to go down and sell salted duck eggs, so I won't kill you unless it's absolutely necessary."
What does it mean to only use a killer as a last resort?
Does this mean that you would resort to assassination if you were forced to do so as a last resort?
Li Chao cursed inwardly, stood up, and said, "Young man, let me give you a piece of advice: don't be too arrogant."
Shen Dong said, "If young people aren't arrogant, are they even young? Sir Li, I'd also like to give you a piece of advice: never underestimate young people. When they go crazy, they can be extremely terrifying."
Seeing Li Chao leave in a huff, Shen Dong's face broke into a bright smile.
An hour later, the heads of the four major families gathered together again.
Upon learning that Shen Dong had offered HK$130 per share, Zheng Tong sighed and said, "If I had known this would happen, I would have sold it to him for HK$180 the day before yesterday."
Li Ka-shing said, "There's nothing to regret. We lost this time, but that doesn't mean we'll keep losing."
Guo Shengli said coldly, "This young man is too arrogant. We must let him know who the master of Hong Kong Island is."
Li Ka-shing asked, "Mr. Guo, do you have any ideas?"
Guo Shengli said, "Shen Dong has many companies, but none of them are listed, so we can't pose a threat to him. However, I heard that Bihai Nightclub is a very important source of income for him, with a net profit of over 50 million every month."
Zheng Tongdao: "Mr. Guo, do you mean to take action against Bihai Nightclub?"
Guo Shengli said, "That's right. Bihai Nightclub is basically a brothel. As long as we bribe a few hostesses and get the police to raid it, I believe it will be easy to shut down Bihai Nightclub."
Zheng Tong laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if we can't close the door. The people who go to Bihai Nightclub are all rich and powerful, and they value their reputation the most. If something happens even once, it will be enough to make them never go to Bihai Nightclub again."
Guo Shengli nodded and said, "That's right."
Li Zhaoshan said, "Besides that, Shen Dong also has a lot of bars, KTVs and nightclubs. We can have the police visit every day and make it impossible for him to do business."
Guo Shengli said in a deep voice, "Shen Dong used to be a short mule in Hung Hing. Countless people have died at his hands. Our various newspapers and magazines can give him some publicity and make him a celebrity in Hong Kong."
Li Zhaoshan smiled and said, "President Guo, you're giving Shen Dong free publicity."
Guo Shengli said, "If he becomes famous, we can invite him to film Category III films."
"Hahaha"
All four of them couldn't help but laugh.
After confirming that Li Ka-shing's agreement was in order, Shen Dong signed his name and pressed his fingerprint.
