Chapter 208
Lin Wei took a deep breath and was about to speak when Wu Ming, who was beside him, grabbed her and dragged her forward. The reporter quickly pressed the shutter to record the scene.
Richest man Lin's scandal is also a hot topic.
"How long have you been together? Do you two have any plans to get married?"
"Are you here to visit Commissioner Song today?" "
What is your current relationship with Commissioner Song?"
"It is true that the reports say that your relationship is ambiguous. "?"
Lin Wei entered the hospital with a dark face, and the reporters were blocked outside.
"I'm just going to say that he is just a villain. It's just a subway property, and it looks like he's about to take off?" Lin Wei couldn't help complaining.
Wu Ming said: "He really showed his face this time. Fu Sheng worked hard for this bidding and wanted to regain the face of the largest foreign bank, but he was severely frustrated."
It's okay to lose to others, but it happened to be An inconspicuous little person like Chen Hengxi has brought many consortiums into disgrace.
Small and broad talents can stimulate the nerves of spectators. Dark horses on the green field often attract more attention and are talked about.
Speaking of which, Fu Sheng has not been a monster for a long time. Since the last time he was notified by the government and punished for not participating in government bidding projects within three years, Fu Sheng has kept a low profile. Mrs. Eaton rarely makes public appearances. The previous one The woman who frequently appeared in front of the media seemed to have disappeared.
Lin Wei has always been paying attention to Fusheng. After the old post office land incident, Fusheng suffered a setback, and life was not easy. Later, the stock market started to gain momentum, and they also recovered. Unfortunately, the stock market crashed unprepared, and most companies fell into trouble. Fusheng survived the financial crisis, not because of the timely withdrawal, but because of the government ban. It has not bought much land for expansion in the past few years, so it has no debt. It is a big family and a big business, with many real estate properties in Central, so it is resting on its laurels. can live.
Anyway, Fu Sheng has been struggling in the past few years and has not participated in any big projects. He has kept a low profile. He finally made a comeback, but the result was disastrous. Some people said that Fu Sheng frightened Lin Wei, but Lin Wei did not dare to take it lightly.
She didn't participate in the bidding for the subway property, not because she disliked it. Businessmen wouldn't mind the money, but mainly because if she went, people would say she looked ugly. What else could she do with such a big skyscraper opposite the subway?
If she wins the bid, it will easily arouse the resentment of her peers, and this is also true. Her move of not participating in the competition has indeed been well received by everyone, and the richest man, Lin, finally feels more confident.
"I heard that this is Mr. Lin's newly acquired brand called Helian..."
"Helena."
"Yes, Brother Qiang, you know."
Li Ping held a small powder cake in his hand and carefully nodded to Song Ye's forehead: " The seller said that this foundation is the most concealing and can cover scars and acne marks." His abdominal injury healed quickly, and he secretly ran out to buy "good things" for Song Ye today.
Song Ye glanced at him and asked, "How do you feel?"
Li Ping pulled back, made some distance, stared at Song Ye's forehead, and looked at his results: "Hey, this thing is really useful. , it’s quite good, it’s really invisible at all, hehe…”
He smiled proudly twice, and then said: “But it’s good, the only drawback is that it’s too expensive, and it costs a lot of money. I have almost half a month’s salary. Brother Qiang, please don’t forget to reimburse me for transportation expenses.”
Lin Wei and Wu Ming stood at the door: “…”
This is really eye-opening.
Wu Ming silently turned to look at Lin Wei and handed her the food box: "I'm going to the doctor to ask what tests will be done soon."
Plop -
there was a rush in the ward, and Lin Wei was waiting at the door. After a while, when it got quiet inside, I opened the door and went in.
"Ah, Mr. Lin, didn't you say you would come over at noon?" Li Ping scratched the back of his head and asked awkwardly while standing by the bed.
Lin Wei put the food box on the table, turned around and said, "Today is just the right time..."
Halfway through Lin Wei's words, she saw Song Ye's forehead covered with "flour", and suddenly she couldn't speak anymore. She lowered her head and endured laugh.
Is this a white shave?
Li Ping didn't think there was any problem. He thought Mr. Lin was shy and thought he was being very polite and left space for the two of them.
Lin Wei pulled out two wet wipes and sat down to wipe Song Ye's forehead.
Song Ye stared at her quietly, his innocent big eyes were extremely pure: "One wet wipe is enough."
"You're so picky that you can't wipe it clean even if you don't have five wipes." Lin Wei wiped the corners of her lips hard twice. With a slight smile, "How dare you let Li Ping put makeup on you, I think your brain is broken."
This Li Ping really used Song Ye's forehead to be scraped like putty, and Lin Wei spent a lot of effort to get it. Exposing Song Ye's originally smooth forehead, a faint red mark was revealed.
Lin Wei let out a breath and said, "Don't hang out with him anymore. People will become stupid."
Song Ye blinked and looked at Lin Wei softly: "Do you like that stupid beauty?"
Lin Wei blinked. Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly.
She stared into the young man's breathtaking eyes, brushed away the broken hair from his forehead with her slender fingers, then leaned forward and kissed the scar on his forehead gently, saying, "Beauties with imperfections also like it."
This time Song Ye was stunned, and his calm and smiling expression now gave rise to a hint of astonishment. He looked at Lin Wei, and his stunning face was lost for a moment.
This was the first time Lin Wei took the initiative to kiss him.
Lin Wei felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her, and subconsciously tugged at the base of her heated ears: "What's wrong? I'm not allowed to kiss you."
Then she stepped forward and kissed her again: "Just kiss her."
Song Ye blinked: "Then I want to kiss you too."
"No, I am the only one who can kiss you."
As she said this, Lin Wei moved forward proudly and wanted to do it again, but Song Ye raised her head unexpectedly, and her lips and teeth were close together, and Song Ye gently bit her moist and soft lips. lip.
"Mr. Song, I brought you pig's trotter soup. This is very nourishing..."
The little nurse's voice stopped when she could clearly see the two intimate people inside.
She said in a panic: "I'm sorry, I...I still have something to do."
The little nurse was so frightened that she quickly closed the door and left.
Lin Wei pushed Song Ye away suddenly. Seeing the pain in the other person's face, she hurriedly said, "What's wrong? Did you touch a wound?"
Song Ye gently held his chest, looked at Lin Wei with a slight smile, and asked, "How about you beat me first and then we kiss again?"
Lin Wei glared at him and sat back. : "Does it mean that if I don't come, you can drink pig's trotter soup?"
Song Ye's eyes were moist and dark: "Are you jealous?"
"I'm not jealous, I'm just wondering, why don't you pretend now?" Lin Wei crossed her arms and looked at him, "You were so powerful before. You were afraid that people would like you and pretended to be a little country bumpkin. Why have you changed your gender now and started seducing other people's little nurses?"
At this point, Lin Wei was really angry. Even if Song Ye should be a little prettier, she is not a nymphomaniac, she insists on making herself look tacky, and for a long time when she first came to Hong Kong City, he refused to wear new clothes.
Now that I think about it, I feel like I deserve a beating.
Song Ye stared at her, with an unchanged curve at the corner of his mouth: "A weak creature has a beautiful body, and it is a disaster for it."
The expression on Lin Wei's face froze.
For a moment, my mind suddenly roared.
She has heard similar sayings. For girls from poor families, beauty is a kind of original sin. Because they have no ability to protect themselves, they will inevitably be coveted by many people and endure more malice and temptation than ordinary people.
Song Ye was not a woman, he was a handsome man. Before that, he was a beautiful boy...
At this moment, she finally understood that what Song Ye encountered as a child was more cruel and terrifying than she imagined.
I dare not wear new clothes or show my "beauty".
Lin Wei felt sour in her heart.
Song Ye always had a smile on his lips, looking at her with dark eyes and said: "But now I am very lucky to have such a skin, at least it can attract you."
Lin Wei looked at the sky, trying to suppress the sour emotions, She sniffed and said in a low voice: "What attraction? It's seduction."
Song Ye said softly, "Ah", and then said slowly: "It's seduction, so when are you going to sleep with me? "
Lin Wei: "..."
She gritted her teeth in anger, gestured at Song Ye several times with her hands, and finally strangled his neck: "Sleep with you, sleep with you, I will kill your husband today!
" Ye couldn't hide away. Lin Wei strangled his neck, pinched his face and ears, and tickled his armpits, "abusing" him like a toy.
Song Ye didn't expect Lin Wei to be like this. He couldn't hide, so he could only hold back his sudden smile and dodge: "You can wait until you get back and do whatever you want to me."
"Ahhh... I can't stand it anymore, you How can you be so... so arrogant? It makes me mad!" Lin Wei went crazy, "I will do justice to you and kill you, this vixen."
...
There is no need to wait for tomorrow's evening paper or the evening news for Lin Wei's response. The news immediately hit the news, and some newspapers even made headlines.
Lin Wei was somewhat helpless. She was too famous and rich, and a few words could cause such a big discussion.
People now feel that the richest man, Lin, cares very much about Chen Hengxi, but they don't know whether this is due to the previous slap, the two have completely formed a personal feud, or because he is afraid that Chen Hengxi will threaten his position.
"She didn't regard me as a rival," Chen Hengxi cut into the perfectly colored beef tongue in front of him. "She has always looked down on me. When we first met, she understood my identity as an illegitimate child. If it weren't for profit, she would have She won’t cooperate with me. It was initially for shares in Kowloon Aviation, and later for skyscrapers, but now I have no use value to her.”
Mike sighed softly while holding the red wine glass: “I can do it now. I understand your anger at the beginning. She has been asking for it from you, but you have not received any feedback."
"Even feelings..." Chen Hengxi took a deep breath and then smiled, "She is not even willing to pretend to be perfunctory with me. , even refused to give me the opportunity to be ambiguous. All the losses I have suffered in my life are not as big as those suffered by her alone. She was born to defeat me. It seems that I am destined to be her defeat. But I won't let it go. I will finish the book and get it all back."
"A person's power is always limited, you just don't have the background and backing," Mike said casually.
Chen Hengxi paused as he put the food into his mouth and looked up at Mike.
Mike smiled and said: "You are very similar to the original Pou. You have the same sincerity and courage as him. Others looked down on him and rejected him time and time again, but he never gave up. To this day, those who once Those who looked down on him can only look up to him now. Success or failure is only temporary. Who can have the last laugh? No one will know the outcome."
Chen Hengxi was silent for a while, then suddenly took out a black box and pushed it in front of Mike: "This gift. I have been preparing for a long time, and when I received your invitation, I knew that my opportunity had come."
Mike paused, put down the cup, took the box in his hand, opened the lid, and exposed the white and elegant dial.
“I took this photo by chance in the UK a few years ago. This watch is General Frank Morley’s favorite watch. It was born before World War II. It is the world’s first flip watch made by Cartier, and it is A specially customized model with the initials of General Frank engraved on it, I thought at that time, if I could give this watch to you one day, then I guess my time has come. "
HSBC Meisterstück likes watches . Everyone knows this, but that doesn’t mean you have the opportunity to give the watch away.
Mike took the watch out of the box, took it off his hand, and put the "new watch" on directly. He said: "This is really the best gift."
He raised his glass to Chen Hengxi: "Did you guess it? Wrong, your time is about to come."
The two crystal cups touched each other, and a brilliant color was reflected in the light.
At the end of June 1975, HSBC publicly announced that it would sell approximately 120 million shares (30%) of Hutchison Whampoa's equity to Chen Hengxi at a price of 3 yuan per share, and only required Chen Hengxi to pay 20% in cash in advance. Hutchison Whampoa will pay the remaining expenses when its operating conditions improve.
The reason why HSBC did this was due to two considerations. First, there was too much public opposition to its trusteeship of Hutchison Whampoa. Second, the previous battle with Lin Wei in Central made HSBC's funds tight and they needed to get rid of it. Hutchison Whampoa, which has not turned a profit, will reduce its burden.
The price they bought was 1 yuan per share, and now it has risen to 3 yuan per share. They made more than 200 million in one hand, which was a huge profit from this transaction.
Chen Hengxi was absorbed by the Hutchison Whampoa board of directors as executive director.
This news shocked the whole Hong Kong. It means that Chen Hengxi only paid more than 70 million to get control of the second largest foreign bank. The equity of the second largest foreign bank is very dispersed, with 30% already being the largest shareholder.
This is an unprecedented example of using a small amount to achieve great things. It is a level higher than Lin Wei's. She spent a lot of money to win the Kowloon Aviation Industry. That was all seven or eight years ago.
Although Chen Hengxi is not the chairman of the board of directors yet, as long as he thinks about it, it is only a matter of time.
This speed is like riding a rocket.
This was much faster than Lin Wei's speed at that time, which was jaw-dropping.
Chen Hengxi's fame spread throughout Hong Kong like a thunderbolt.
"Forget it, Hutchison Whampoa doesn't have many valuable assets. The only ones that can be sold are the Whampoa Dockyard and the Hilton Hotel. Real estate is not valuable now, and in the wake of the oil crisis, a lot of useless properties have been built. , Hutchison is still losing money, how can it compare with the richest man Lin?"
"You can't say that, Hutchison also has retail, telecommunications and energy businesses. If Chen Hengxi is capable, Hutchison will be able to gain momentum sooner or later."
"Then . Let's just wait and see if it's a cat or a tiger."
The voice from the next table reached Mike and his friends.
"So you have great confidence in Chu Yongjie, right?" the friend asked.
Otherwise, he would not be required to pay 20% of the fee in advance.
Mike looked at the beautiful harbor outside: "This luxurious seafood restaurant is indeed well-deserved. You should come earlier."
The friend smiled and said: "I knew you would like it. You must make a reservation for this Michelin restaurant at least two months in advance. This Lin Wei is really good at it. "
The sea view, delicious food, and melodious music are very suitable for the tastes of wealthy people.
Mike turned his head: "Perhaps Chu Yongjie will do better in the future."
His friend shrugged and said, "I'm curious why you chose him in the end?"
Mike smiled: "You have the ability, but no backer, the more it is like this The more a person can embody the value of HSBC, and his relationship with Lin Wei, combined, he is the best candidate. "
But you are not afraid of another connection between Chu Yongjie and Lin Wei," said the friend. Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, the final result was that he lost the Chinese bank. Are you not afraid that he will make the same mistake again?"
Mike straightened the frame: "I'm very good at judging people. Chu Yongjie is not a short-sighted person. The second largest foreign bank. He knows what it means. Even if he had some intentions before, facing such temptation, as long as he is not stupid, he will not choose to give up Hutchison Whampoa. Lin Wei will not succeed again with the same method. "
The friend opened his eyes in surprise: "I didn't expect you to take such a long-term view. It seems that my worries are a bit unnecessary, so I hope you find a perfect partner this time. Cheers."
Mike raised his glass and said with a smile. : "Cheers"
I didn't want to. After the clinking of glasses, when Mike took the glass back, he found that his friend was stunned on the spot, looking very shocked.
"What happened?" Mike asked.
"You...if I read it correctly, those two people in front of you may be Lin Wei and...your perfect partner?"
