Ma Dayuan has a good temper, but that doesn't mean he doesn't. His groveling to Gao Ren for this phone call already crossed a line.
But now Gao Ren not only slapped him in the face right away, but also exposed his past misdeeds.
This was something Ma Dayuan, who had already completely cleared his name, couldn't tolerate.
Just as Ma Dayuan was about to lose his temper, he remembered that Gao Ren had the powerful figure in the north protecting him, so he could only force a smile and say...
"Mr. Gao, you are absolutely right,"
"The mistake I made cannot be resolved with just one phone call, that's all."
"I'll host a banquet at the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow and bring gifts to apologize to Mr. Gao and Ms. Yue!"
"As for the gifts, we are confident that Mr. Gao and Ms. Yue will be satisfied!"
Even seeing how far he had gone, Ma Dayuan was still able to tolerate it.
Gao Ren sighed inwardly, "No wonder he's the only bigwig among so many big players in Hong Kong who managed to clean up his act and become someone of importance!"
But in Gao Ren's eyes, such a person, destined to become an opponent, was destined to have only one fate.
That means the whole family will die.
While leaving no chickens or dogs alive, the eggs must be shaken until the yolks are broken, and the earthworms must be cut in half vertically after being dug up!
"Mr. Ma, let's skip the meal and get straight to the gift!"
Upon seeing Gao Ren's directness, Ma Dayuan's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a calm expression.
"I'll give you five percent of the shares in Hong Kong Island Daily, plus fifty million in cash!"
"Mr. Gao, are you satisfied with this gift?"
Ma Daqian not only heard that his brother was giving him money, but he also gave five percent of his shares to that shorty Gui Liren.
His expression instantly turned displeased. As the most promising media outlet in Hong Kong, it's only a matter of time before the Hong Kong Island Daily expands beyond Hong Kong Island.
This is also reflected in the share price of Hong Kong Island Daily.
The current share price of Hong Kong Island Daily is HK$88 per share on the stock market!
This stock price is already 30 percent higher than the second-place stock!
In this situation...do we even need to discuss the value of 5% of the shares?
"Big brother..."
When Ma Daqian whispered a reminder, Ma Dayuan waved his hand to indicate that he should remain silent.
Just as Ma Daqian was venting his frustration to one side, on the other side...
Lok Wai-ching and Fong Kit-ha, who also knew the value of 5% of the shares in Hong Kong Island Daily,
His facial expressions changed just as much as Ma Daqian's, except Ma Daqian was angry...
Their faces showed surprise and excitement!
Putting aside the fact that this 5% stake is worth at least seven or eight hundred million, the most crucial thing is that with this 5% stake...
This signifies their complete entry into the media industry on Hong Kong Island!
After all, in Hong Kong, a place where everything is about connections, the hardest part of starting a business isn't making it big or strong.
The real question is how to get into this circle!
Unlike the excitement on the two women's faces, Gao Ren's expression showed not a trace of excitement.
On the contrary, it even carried a hint of murderous intent!
As for why someone can readily offer their hard-earned empire as a gift to their rivals...
Is she someone who doesn't hold grudges?
For this kind of person, a temporary setback is nothing.
Given the chance, he will take back everything, including the principal and interest!
Why does Gao Ren know this kind of person so well...?
Because Gao Ren is that kind of person!
"Mr. Gao, this gift is quite substantial..."
Upon hearing this, Gao Ren chuckled and teased,
"Mr. Ma, even you think it's too small!"
Gao Ren's words left not only Le Huizhen and Fang Jiexia speechless, but even Ma Dayuan on the other end of the phone was taken aback.
"I'm glad you're satisfied, Mr. Gao..."
He paused for a few seconds, realizing what he was saying, before finally speaking.
"Mr. Gao, what do you mean by this!"
"Five percent of the shares is all I can offer!"
Hearing Ma Dayuan utter those words clearly on the other end of the phone, Gao Ren's tone remained teasing.
"How could it be all of them!"
"Mr. Ma, as far as I know, you and your brother control 75% of the shares of Hong Kong Island Daily!"
"You're only giving me five percent now? You're not taking me seriously at all!"
If Ma Dayuan still can't tell that Gao Ren had no intention of talking at all, then he should quit his job!
"Mr. Gao, even if you have the support of the North!"
"But if they find out you're recklessly making enemies for them here..."
"I don't think they'll pretend they didn't see it!"
Seeing that Ma Dayuan was resorting to force when persuasion failed, Gao Ren chuckled and said...
"Fatty Ma, do you really think you've cleared your name?"
"In the eyes of those northerners and foreigners, you're nothing more than a chamber pot!"
"If it weren't for using you, this chamber pot, to disgust the four major families, do you think you'd still be acting all high and mighty here, talking to me on the phone like this!"
After Gao Ren said this, Ma Dayuan was stunned for three seconds before sneering.
"Gui Liren, you've got guts!"
"We've all been through this before, you know the saying 'fortune changes hands'!"
"Let's see how long you can stay arrogant!"
Ma Dayuan hung up the phone immediately after speaking, but his anger did not disappear with the end of the call.
Instead, he went even further, and finally, unable to contain his anger, he smashed the mobile phone in his hand to the ground.
