Chapter 132

"My father once said that Madam is the best among women. If you don't take action, it will be a fatal blow. Once you do, it will be a fatal blow."

Chu Yinghao looked at the foreign woman in front of him and complimented with a smile: "Looking now, she is indeed well-deserved. "

Mrs. Eaton smiled noncommittally. She held the goblet, and Freeman on the side refilled the red wine for her: "If you praise me as Wu Zetian, you probably don't need to add any prerequisites. "

More than a year later. Her Chinese has improved rapidly, and she also knows some historical celebrities in China.

Chu Yinghao was stunned. He didn't expect that she would say that. He felt that she had been beautifying her. Chu Aidong originally said that she was a cannibalistic black widow.

He smiled awkwardly and was about to say something to smooth things over.

Mrs. Eaton smiled and said: "The credit belongs to Mr. Zhu, otherwise it would be difficult to collect so many charges. Most of the evidence and witnesses were provided by Mr. Zhu. I cannot take the credit alone."

Chu Yinghao forged evidence and found another Several "tainted witnesses", Mrs. Eaton bribed internal employees of Lin Wei's company to prove Lin Wei's crime.

The evidence does exist, but it is just that these were not done by Lin Wei, or it is not certain that Lin Wei did it, such as the French consul's matter, but with the cooperation of "witnesses", Lin Wei's crime can be confirmed.

Although such evidence is not rigorous, with the support of the British Hong Kong government and the police station responsible for the "investigation", Lin Wei has no chance of turning over this time.

The last thing Lin Wei should do is to anger the Hong Kong Governor. She used the Star Ferry incident to start a war with Fu Sheng, which expanded her influence, causing the people to give the Hong Kong Governor an unpleasant nickname, calling him the Pot-Belly Governor, and causing him to be questioned by the British. Responsibility, reputation in the international community has deteriorated.

The Governor of Hong Kong placed the responsibility for the Star Ferry incident on Lin Wei.

He is not a "big-bellied" person. He had no choice but to endure it before. Now that Hong Kong City has finally returned to stability, it is time to free up his hands to take care of her.

Moreover, the executor is Mrs. Eaton, and the British Hong Kong government is just cooperating. Even if it fails in the end, he can still take it out, which is beneficial to him.

Chu Yinghao quickly said humbly: "This is what it should be. Without my wife's help, I would not be able to take over Dongfang Industrial smoothly. I can't thank you enough."

It's a pity that the old man is too stubborn and refuses to transfer the equity until his death. He can't really The old man must be killed, otherwise the bunch of relatives waiting to share the property and the group of illegitimate children who are eyeing him can only temporarily control the person.

The old guy on the board of directors is not so easy to deal with. Because of the civil strife, Dongfang Industrial's stock price plummeted, and no one believed in his ability. When he was in distress, it was Mrs. Eaton who reached out to him and helped him stabilize the situation. The cooperation between the two was a matter of course.

"If there is any need to be dispatched in the future, Mrs. Eaton will just speak up and go through fire and water without hesitation." Chu Yinghao once again expressed his gratitude.

Mrs. Eaton held her face and listened to the interpreter behind her, showing a bright and moving smile. She swayed her wine glass: "You are not the first man to say this, but many people are just talking."

Huh?

Chu Yinghao looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and swallowed unconsciously. He could hardly hold the knife and fork in his hand. The woman in front of him looked dangerous, and he who was targeted by her looked like a prey that could be eaten at any time. He felt that his father's description was too accurate.

He forced a smile and said, "As long as you ask, I will try my best to help you do it."

"Try your best," Mrs. Eaton sighed, "It changed in just a moment. Men are really unreliable."

Chu Ying Hao was sweating on his forehead. He resisted the urge to wipe the sweat and said with some embarrassment: "Madam, why don't you tell me what it is?"

Mrs. Eaton said "ah" and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, I just watched. Your Chinese Bank is too shabby, it’s time to renovate it.”

Chu Yinghao’s expression changed immediately. The Chinese Bank building is in Central, where land is very valuable, and what she wants is one of Oriental Industries’ most important assets. Didn't she have this idea from the beginning?

He felt like he was being watched.

The Chinese Bank has a long history. It was a piece of land bought by a joint venture of several Chinese including Lin Heying more than 40 years ago. They built the first Chinese-invested building in Central. Foreigners disdain to work together with Chinese, so the tenants inside are They are Chinese, hence the name "Chinese Bank".

Later, the property rights of the Chinese Bank changed several times, and finally it was taken over by Chu Aidong in a disgraceful way.

Although the Chinese Bank is a bit old and looks less decent than the buildings around it, it is one of the important industries of Dongfang Industrial.

He gritted his teeth and said, "This depends on the board of directors..." "I believe in your ability," Mrs. Eaton said with a bright smile. "Now that Dongfang Industrial is short of funds, isn't selling the Chinese Bank the best

option?"

, but where can I sell it to you at a good price?

The result of a fire sale is that he will be scolded by the board of directors, and his reputation will drop again.

"Is it really so difficult?" Mrs. Eaton sighed softly, "Actually, if I really want to make things difficult for you, I can put conditions before helping you. What I say now is to express my sincerity, the sincerity of a cooperative partner. "

She said the last two words in a dismissive and flirtatious way, but if you thought she was trying to seduce you, then it would probably make a joke. It was more like a bad taste, a bad taste to tease men. Watching Men are either fascinated by her or terrified of her.

She knows a man's weaknesses and can easily express his pain.

"You are now the leader of Dongfang Industrial. You should do something to let them know who is the real master. Do you still remember what your father did? His decisions have never been questioned by others and everyone praises them. Decisions like this will only make you a puppet. Only decisions like this will give you an opportunity to establish your authority."

Chu Yinghao was stunned. He looked at her: "You..."

Mrs. Eaton was persuasive: "I was the same at Fusheng. Just like you, what you want to prove is not how good you are, they will think that is what you should do, but how cruel you are."

Chu Yinghao naturally thought of the ridicule he had received these days, the old thing on the board of directors. Pointing at his nose and calling him a waste, the others laughed contemptuously, so blatantly that he couldn't help clenching his hands and even his breathing became a little faster.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will try my best, but it may take some time."

"It doesn't matter," Mrs. Eaton held her face, her smile still moving, "What I don't lack most is patience."

The last sentence sounded in Chu Yinghao's ears. , I can’t tell whether it’s a comfort or a threat.

Under Mrs. Eaton's half-coaxing and half-coercion, Chu Yinghao made up his mind, wouldn't he just sell less?

For such a big Dongfang Industrial, there is no shortage of Chinese people.

Chu Yinghao left, and Freeman couldn't help but frown: "We have done him such a big favor, but only one Chinese can do it?"

Mrs. Eaton sighed softly, "Don't be so cruel to our partners, you will He scared him away," she said with a smile. "With him here, we can control Dongfang Industrial. The value of Chinese Bank is not in the present. It is indeed a bit inconspicuous now. The real value is the land. Once If it is renovated, it will become the next king of land in Central. "

She likes people like this who have a rare treasure but don't know it.

Freeman did not continue this topic. He was very clear about Mrs. Eaton's vision. Until now, he had never seen her make a mistake. She was targeting the opponent's throat. As long as it was the right time, , she can harvest the results accurately.

The difficulty is not in locking the target, but in the timing, such as Ron being sued by shareholders, or the civil strife at Dongfang Industrial.

He said to Mrs. Eaton: "HSBC just called and said that Mike has something to do and wants to make an appointment with you. The other party is in a hurry. He can attend the appointment at any time as long as you are free."

Mrs. Eaton smiled and closed her eyes, gently Taking a breath: "He should really be anxious. His 300 million loan is about to grow wings and fly away. If he can still sit still, then he is not qualified for this big class."

"He is afraid that he will have to pay for his previous I regret my arrogance," Freeman commented.

"I hope so."

...

Discovery Bay, an open golf course, Mrs. Eaton is currently wearing a cool black sportswear. The lack of fancy clothes makes her look uniquely capable and elegant, but she has a tall, plump figure and a slender figure. Her calves still have a beauty that cannot be ignored.

At this time, Mike was not in the mood to appreciate it. So far, he has not hit a single shot. Instead, he found a chance for himself to speak during Mrs. Eaton's game: "I don't know what grudges there are between you, but you did this." But it ruined my business."

Mrs. Eaton's eyes followed the ball, and the green grass was full of beauty. She took a gentle breath and said softly: "I heard that you like to play golf, and you have been practicing hard for a while. "Year, today I finally have the opportunity to meet you. You don't know how happy I am, but I never expected to hear such reprimands, Mr. Mike..."

She looked at Mike, who was wearing a suit and ties, with blue eyes. Yingran said brightly, "Aren't you too ungentlemanly?"

Mike gritted his teeth at this woman. This was in revenge for his previous rejections.

He suppressed his anger and calmed down and said: "I'm not targeting you, nor do I look down on women. When dealing with HSBC, you must at least show your ability first, otherwise even if you meet, it will cause trouble to both parties. This has been more than a year. , I have not seen any improvement in Fusheng. I only saw that you frequently appeared in the media and became a goodwill ambassador in Hong Kong. You did not put any effort into the business development of Fusheng."

Mrs. Eaton immediately showed a disappointed expression. , "It makes me so sad when you say that. There has to be a process. I work hard, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here." Mrs. Eaton smiled again, her expression gentle and ambiguous, "They all Anyone who knows HSBC’s senior class has surpassed the God of Wealth. I have been working hard for this. Standing here, I think I am only one step away from success. "

Mike hasn’t felt like going crazy for a long time. This. Women are really irritating.

He said patiently: "If you do this, you will not get a sincere partner."

Mrs. Eaton shook her head. She held the cue and looked at the reinstalled ball on the grass: "You said you didn't look down on women. But in fact you are very dissatisfied with me taking over Fu Sheng. If you were a man, no matter whether he has made achievements or not, you would not be so arrogant. After all, Fu Sheng is the largest enterprise in Hong Kong Island and the largest foreign bank. It makes no sense. You are so arrogant, but the reality is that you would rather accept an appointment from other members of the board of directors than meet with me. This makes me embarrassed at Fusheng. You don't know what kind of trouble your behavior has caused me."

"That's it . Because of you..."

"That's because I am a woman and your requirements are higher. I need to be like that Miss Lin before you would condescend to see me. Do you think this level of difficulty is normal?" Mrs. Eaton lowered her head and smiled, "But it doesn't matter, it's the same if I replace her."

Mike said impatiently, "I don't care if you want to replace her..." He stopped suddenly in the middle of the sentence and said, "Replace her?"

Mrs. Eaton smiled with satisfaction: "Hezi's equity is pledged in your hands. Lin Wei is the soul of Hezi. With her gone, Hezi is half down. Under the current situation, it is impossible for her to stand up again. You Sooner or later, we have to find a buyer for Hezi, but it may not be easy to find someone with this ability. "

"You want Hezi?" Mike said directly.

Mrs. Eaton said with a smile: "I have a share of the credit for Hezi's current achievements. The hardest part is always at the beginning. My name is still in their brand story. Without my help, Hezi Now, don’t you think that a British person is more suitable to be the person in charge of this brand than a Chinese? Lin Wei is helpless now, and I will naturally fulfill her wish.”

Mike said deeply . Looking at her, the woman under the baseball cap looked at him quietly and smiled, with an elegant style. He could not describe his mood in words at the moment. Ron's failure may not be accidental. Her ambition was shocking. She She is not the beautiful and loving woman the media says she is.

Mrs. Eaton fiddled with the cue in her hand and said slowly: "According to regulations, banks have no operating rights and can only be held in custody. Sooner or later, you will have to find a buyer for Hezi. Who dares to take over this situation? But I am different. , if it were me, you don’t have to worry about whether the 300 million loan can be repaid. Is there anyone more suitable than me?"

After saying that, she put down the cue and looked at Mike.

Mike looked at her for a while and said, "You need to prove yourself," he said calmly, "You should know the prerequisites for Herzi to change hands."

"I understand," Mrs. Eaton nodded with a smile, "I'm just being lenient. In your heart, Lin Wei's imprisonment will not make your 300 million loan disappear. You can just sit back and wait patiently for Hezi's new owner."

Mike said nothing more.

When he left, Mrs. Eaton smiled and said: "It's a pity today. I hope you will be willing to come down and play a few rounds with me next time. I will be very honored."

Mike breathed out and left. Freeman went to see him off. he.

Mike remained silent, and Freeman did not initiate the conversation.

When he walked to the door, Mike said: "Is this the woman you like?"

Freeman showed a proud smile: "Isn't she very different?"

Mike glanced at him and continued to walk forward. After a while, he said: "You can't control her at all. She is a vicious snake girl. She will not be satisfied with the status quo and her appetite will get bigger and bigger."

Freeman walked up to the front and opened the car door for him: "That is also a beautiful snake girl, isn't it?"

Mike stood in front of the car door and looked at him without saying a word. He felt that Freeman was too poisoned.

The two have known each other for a long time, but he never knew that this friend was so obsessed with a woman.

Freeman sighed, "You are still biased against her. If she were a man, you might not think so. Ron's methods are more cruel, you know this," he softened his voice and said, " She likes your saying "capitalists have no country" and takes it as a famous saying. Since capitalists have no country, there should be no distinction between men and women. It only depends on the results. Hasn't she proven herself now? "

Mike said nothing more, Wan. He got into the car and left a message: "As long as you won't regret it."

Freeman stood there and looked at the black car driving away.

"What a stubborn man." Mrs. Eaton's voice came from behind.

He turned back and said with a smile: "Don't say that. His attitude has already relaxed. He has always been prejudiced against married women. Now we just have to wait and wait for him to see the reality clearly."

"It's not good to just sit and wait for death. Our style," Mrs. Eaton took the coat handed by the service staff and said, "There are too many people who want to help her, and we have to control the public opinion."

Speaking of this, the smile on Freeman's face faded. Sir, he took a deep breath: "This He Xin..."

He stepped forward and arranged Mrs. Eaton's hair: "Are you sure Fu Wenfan can do it?"

"The results will probably be available soon," Mrs. Eaton showed a charming smile, "I believe it. Our Mr. Fu will bring us some good news. "

...

Fu Wenfan helped He Xin sit on the sofa. Compared with his previous hale and hearty mental state, Mr. He's eyes were full of fatigue at this moment, and his rickety body seemed to be older. age.

These days, he used all his connections to work on Lin Wei's affairs for more than a week.

On the one hand, we must put pressure on the police station and the British Hong Kong government, and on the other hand, we must deal with public opinion.

Regarding the crime charged by the police against Lin Wei, citizens were initially skeptical. Lin Wei did not look like a crazed villain. However, some newspapers began to analyze it with "reasonable evidence", mainly pointing to one point of view: How could she have accumulated wealth so quickly without using shady means? As a woman, what did she rely on to get where she is now?

Everyone knows how difficult it is to do business, but she got the green light all the way from the milk tea shop to Hezi. She went incredibly smoothly.

The report deliberately did not mention Lin Wei's business methods, leading the public to think of conspiracy theories.

Public opinion crazily pushed Lin Wei into gang influence, and various rumors were flying all over the place, describing her as an inhumane and vicious woman. The most widely circulated and "credible" one is that she is the real culprit in the murder of the French consul.

Fu Sheng had already obtained the right to host the goddess, but how did Lin Wei forcefully snatch it away in the end? What happened?

Two things happened at that time, one was the death of the French consul, and the other was the revelation of bribery scandal in Fu Sheng.

This is very questionable. Where are there so many coincidences? These two things are very scary to think about.

But from Lin Wei's point of view, this was clearly confusing right and wrong. It was obvious that her things had been robbed, and the act of taking them back turned into a conspiracy to plunder.

Mr. He Xin has kept a low profile all his life because Lin Wei publicly spoke out in the media to vouch for her character.

Later, Yuan Guodong also expressed his disbelief that Lin Wei could do such a thing, and praised her business talent. It is not surprising that she can achieve her current achievements. The newspaper has already covered the story of how she started her business, at least. Her ability in this area should not be questioned.

The two big guys came out to speak, and they are still known as moral people.

People began to speak out for Lin Wei in the newspapers, saying that this was the British Hong Kong government's suppression of Chinese businessmen. Lin Wei was the second Huo family, but they were just picking peaches, and their methods this time were more brutal. You can be spectators, but there is no guarantee when the third victim will appear and whether it will fall on you or me.

For a time, the Chinese businessmen were in danger.

He Xin mobilized the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce and contacted various chambers of commerce to issue a statement, asking the Hong Kong government to respond, publish all evidence, and hear the case in an open and transparent manner.

As soon as the statement came out, everyone responded one after another, asking the Hong Kong government to give the people a satisfactory answer.

Everything seems to be turning for the better.

The turning point came when Xiangjiang University announced that Lin Wei was expelled.

The announcement stated that the campus was not a place for filth and evil, so Lin Wei was expelled.

It means that there is something wrong with Lin Wei's character.

This has puzzled many people. If it was not confirmed, why did Xiangjiang University make the decision to expel him so quickly? They are not a police station or a court. They have to wait until the outcome of the trial is reached. What happened?

Hong Kong University has an unshakable position in Hong Kong City. It has trained many celebrities and has sent a large number of talents to Hong Kong City and even the mainland in the past fifty years.

Xiangjiang University's announcement has been interpreted in various ways. Many people believe that Lin Wei has really committed a crime, otherwise Xiangjiang University would not be able to say so conclusively.

He Xin rubbed his forehead, with deep tiredness between his brows.

"Wenfan..." he whispered, "How can we break the situation?" He seemed to be asking Fu Wenfan, but also seemed to be asking himself.

The opponents are too powerful, not only Fu Sheng, but also the British Hong Kong government.

How much energy does it take to fight against the government? He really couldn't think of a way to break the situation.

"There is a way." Fu Wenfan's low voice sounded from the other side.

He Xin opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the person standing opposite him.

The young man took the freshly poured hot tea and placed it on the coffee table next to Mr. He, showing a meaningful smile.

"Don't you still have some useless chips?" He said with a smile, "You can definitely use it to negotiate with Fu Sheng."

"What?" He Xin looked at him, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him had become a little strange, with that smile. Something different from the past.

Is it an illusion?

"Why do you distrust me so much? Grandpa is my dearest person in the world, and you treat me like this. Do you know how chilling I am?" He

sat down next to He Xin and said slowly: "Your hand Don’t you plan to use those debt-for-equity swaps?”

He Xin suddenly changed his face.
