It's important to know that Carmel Financial was operating at a loss at the beginning.
Without extraordinary courage and strong self-confidence, it would have been virtually impossible for Hera to reverse the outcome.
Hong Kong Island is Asia's financial center, and Carmel Financial Corporation cannot afford to lose it, which is why they brought in Hera to oversee the company.
This demonstrates Carmel Financial's high regard for Hera.
Allen said coldly, "People from Hong Kong really can't be trusted."
Hera said in a deep voice, "We cannot sit idly by and wait to be killed; we must take the initiative."
"Ms. Hera, do you have any good ideas?" Allen asked.
Hera said, "The president of the Xia Kingdom Chamber of Commerce is Huo Yingdong, and the vice president is Li Ka-shing. As long as we can give these two leaders a good beating, we can crush the arrogance of the entire Chamber of Commerce."
Cartier CEO Angelina Jolie said, "Both the Huo and Li families made a lot of money in this Japanese stock market crash. It won't be easy to deal a blow to them."
Looking at Angelina's stunningly beautiful face, Hera smiled and said, "The Huo family's current strength isn't even in the top ten in Hong Kong. Their income mainly comes from their previous real estate holdings."
Hera stopped there.
Everyone immediately understood her meaning; she simply wanted to send people to do some underhanded things to the Huo family's shopping malls and real estate properties.
Allen said, "What about Li Ka-shing? He's not from the Huo family."
Hera's eyes flashed with a cold light as she said, "The Li family has a lot of investments in our country, and I heard that he is acquiring Kangaroo Telecom. Once it's done, he will be able to hold a 35% share of our country's telecommunications industry."
Allen added, "Li Ka-shing also spent a huge sum of money and two years building two commercial buildings simultaneously, which have been completed for three months. The commercial buildings will be operational in a week."
Angelina said coldly, "Then let the government block his acquisition of Kangaroo Telecom and prevent his two commercial buildings from operating for various reasons."
Allen laughed and said, "At that time, I'm afraid Li Ka-shing will hire lawyers to sue the government."
Angelina said, "That would be even better. It's normal for lawsuits to drag on for two or three years."
Hera said in a deep voice, "No matter what, we have to teach the Xia Kingdom Chamber of Commerce a lesson. I don't want Hong Kong's finances and economy to be controlled by them in the next few years."
Angelina asked, "Where's Shen Dong? How do we deal with him?"
When asked about Angelina, all twelve representatives tacitly kept silent.
Even Hera, known for her strong personality, remained silent.
Angelina frowned slightly and said, "You're not scared, are you? Shen Dong owns more properties in Hong Kong than the Huo family. We can hire someone to take action against him in the same way."
Allen sighed and said with a wry smile, "The problem is that no one dares to take this job. After the Lion Mercenaries were wiped out, we paid a high price to bring in three mercenary groups with more than 5,000 men from Africa to attack the Tenglong Mercenaries, but they were all wiped out, not a single one survived. After this news spread, neither the assassin nor the mercenary world dared to take on any more missions targeting Shen Dong."
Hera said, "The scariest thing is that this person comes from the underworld; he's not just a simple businessman. He has a group of very capable intelligence agents and assassins under his command. If we use underhanded methods to deal with him, I'm afraid it will be difficult for any of us to leave Hong Kong alive. Don't forget, our predecessors all died in his missile attacks."
Angelina gave a charming smile and said, "If we can't fight head-on, we'll outsmart him. There's a saying in Xia that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. I'll go talk to him in a few days."
As the most famous super beauty in the U.S. jewelry industry, Angelina Jolie is already thirty-six years old, but she looks no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Her figure is extremely hot, and every smile and frown exudes a kind of charm and sexiness.
Allen's eyes lit up, and he said, "Shen Dong has four girlfriends, each of whom is very beautiful. We've been looking for Shen Dong's weakness all along, and I think his biggest weakness is probably his lust."
Hera despised women like Angelina from the bottom of her heart, feeling that she had disgraced women.
However, in order to deal with Shen Dong, Hera still smiled and said, "With Ms. Angelina's charm, winning over Shen Dong should not be a difficult task."
...
The US financial groups acted very quickly.
The following night, explosions occurred in three of the Huo family's largest shopping malls, injuring more than thirty customers, but fortunately no one died.
Some thugs have been clamoring in tabloids that they will continue to attack the Huo family's shopping malls until they close down.
On the other hand, Li Ka-shing also found himself in trouble.
His long-planned acquisition of Kangaroo Telecom failed to gain the approval of the American government and was stalled at the last hurdle, rendering two years of hard work and effort futile.
Neither of the two commercial buildings has obtained an operating permit, and the reasons given by the U.S. government are completely untenable.
"Smack!"
Li Ka-shing slammed down the phone, his eyes blazing with anger.
He had just spoken on the phone with an acquaintance in the U.S. government, who talked to him for a full half hour without revealing a single useful piece of information, which greatly annoyed Li Ka-shing.
Li Zeju said, "Father, it's obvious that the American conglomerate is behind this, aiming to teach us a lesson."
Li Ka-shing coldly stated, "The U.S. government has been advocating for free trade, but it has proven to be a joke."
Li Zeju said, "The problem is, what should we do now? Withdraw from the China Chamber of Commerce?"
The acquisition of Kangaroo Telecom and the operation of the two buildings are directly related to Li Ka-shing's business layout in the United States over the next ten years.
If this problem cannot be resolved, the Changjian Group will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
Li Ka-shing took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and said, "Withdrawing from the China Chamber of Commerce will indeed solve our current crisis, but it will offend the Chinese government. After the handover, Hong Kong Island may not even have a place for us to stay."
Li Zeju asked, "Then what should we do?"
After a moment's thought, Li Ka-shing said, "The Huo family's business is also a target of the American conglomerate. Let me ask Mr. Huo's opinion."
Li Ka-shing picked up the phone and dialed Huo Yingdong's home number.
Soon, Huo Yingdong's voice came over.
"Sir Lee, is there some problem with your business?"
Li Ka-shing briefly explained the situation and said, "Mr. Huo, the American conglomerates have gone too far; this is clearly targeting us. What do you plan to do?"
Huo Yingdong said, "I'm heading to Xia Hua Society. Sir Li, would you like to come along?"
Li Ka-shing raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, see you at Xia Hua Society."
