"...10% is too low. It should be at least 20% to be in line with the investment strategy of our PCCW." Li Zekai said with a frown and some dissatisfaction.

"20% is too much. It is impossible to give so much. The maximum is 11%. If Mr. Li cannot accept it, then our negotiations this time will probably end in regret." Zhang Junfeng still insisted on his share of the company and was unwilling to give up even a little bit of it, which made Li Zekai very uncomfortable.

"...Mr. Zhang Junfeng, you are too insincere! Since you are willing to negotiate, you are only willing to give up such a small amount of shares. Isn't it too stingy?" Li Zekai couldn't help but complain. He originally thought that Zhang Junfeng's business was so big, so he should be generous. Now both parties have taken a step back, and he is willing to increase 1%. Isn't this too irritating? !

"Mr. Li, please be patient! I think you must have heard clearly what Mr. Ma just said. The biggest difference between Penguin and other Internet companies is that its profitability far exceeds that of its peers! You should know that the company's current profitability can earn at least 40 million in net profit a year, which is much better than many listed companies!"

"...Moreover, judging from the rising computer penetration rate and number of Internet users in Longguo, it won't be long before it surpasses the United States and becomes the country with the largest number of Internet users. By then, Internet companies in Longguo will usher in an 'unprecedented' boom, and their scale and profits will inevitably 'go a step further'. What do you think, Mr. Li?"

After hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, Li Zekai, who was originally a little annoyed, fell silent. He knew that what Zhang Junfeng said was correct. It was also because of this that after he learned that Penguin Company actually had such "incredible" profitability, he became interested and felt that if he could get this investment, it might bring him extremely rich returns.

However, Zhang Junfeng was much smarter than he imagined, and he was well aware of the potential value of Penguin Company. It seemed that his previous plan was completely unworkable~!

"...Mr. Zhang, at least 15% of the shares. Any less and the value of the investment will be small!" Li Zekai sighed and stated his bottom line. In his mind, if he couldn't even get this amount of company shares, the value of the investment would be minimal.

“At most 12%! After 5 or even 10 years, time will prove to Mr. Li that this investment may become your most successful one in decades! Of course, if Mr. Li still feels unsatisfied, I can give Mr. Li another investment project.” Zhang Junfeng said with a smile on his face, in a gentle and confident tone.

Li Zekai was stunned for a moment, and he was a little curious. Could Zhang Junfeng give him another investment project? This guy... would he be so kind?! He had seen many powerful old foxes in the business world, and they were all very cunning. But he was a little confused by someone like Zhang Junfeng who didn't play by the rules! After more than ten seconds of silence in the meeting room, Li Zekai said helplessly, "...I agree with Mr. Zhang's proposal! I am also very interested. What does Mr. Zhang mean by 'another investment project'?"

"Haha, Mr. Li will definitely be satisfied~!" Seeing the other party agree, Zhang Junfeng was also very happy. Then Zhang Junfeng told Li Zekai that he was optimistic about Longguo's real estate and said that if their company, PCCW, was interested, they could go to other cities in Longguo to invest.

Li Zekai was inevitably confused by Zhang Junfeng's somewhat "abrupt" investment advice. He felt as if he had been "fooled" by the young man in front of him, but he couldn't get angry with so many people present. After all, he didn't know much about the real estate industry in Longguo. If it was far from what he imagined, it seemed like he was "blaming a good guy by mistake"!

I have to go back and ask the old man at home what he thinks of this proposal. If it is really promising, then Li Zekai can make "flexible investments"!

…

More than an hour later, with the participation of the three parties, Zhang Junfeng and Li Zekai signed the contract for the transfer of Penguin's shares. After the signing, the onlookers applauded and congratulated them.

Zhang Junfeng saw that the purpose of this trip had been successfully accomplished, and then thought of the Penguin Company's Manager Liu who had not yet been contacted, so he spoke to Li Zekai at the right time, "By the way, Mr. Li, I have an unwelcome request and would like to ask for your help. A senior representative of Penguin Company lost contact on the way to Hong Kong the day before yesterday, and we have not been able to find him so far. If Mr. Li knows anyone who can help find him..."

Hearing Zhang Junfeng mention this at this time, Ma Huazhuo also quickly agreed, "Yes, Director Liu Qixian is still an important employee of our Penguin Company. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen when I came to attend the meeting this time. I would like to ask Mr. Li for help."

Li Zekai nodded calmly and replied with a smile, "This is an easy thing to do. I will have someone notify them to help find the people who came from Pengcheng in the past few days. I think there will be news in less than a day!"

"Thank you so much, Mr. Li~!" Hearing Li Zekai's confident answer, Ma Huazhuo immediately relaxed a lot. With the help of the second son of the Hong Kong Li family, I think Lao Liu should be able to find it soon, right?

…

On the way back to the hotel, Ma Huazhuo, who felt relieved, felt much better. He thought about what Zhang Junfeng had mentioned about the real estate market in Longguo when he was negotiating with Li Zekai. This made Ma Huazhuo think about it. Now he has a small fortune. If he is sure that the real estate market will continue to rise in the future, he can take action in advance~!

"...Mr. Zhang, are you serious about what you mentioned to Mr. Li before, that you are optimistic about the real estate industry in Longguo?"

Zhang Junfeng glanced at Ma Huazhuo suspiciously, and after a little thought, he vaguely guessed his intention. Then he smiled and said jokingly, "The rise of real estate in Longguo is an inevitable trend. However, if you want to make a profit in the real estate industry or even get a big piece of the pie, it is difficult to do so without tens of billions of RMB and enough connections."

"...But if Mr. Ma is interested, he can consider acquiring some land with a good location in the prosperous area of ​​Pengcheng for the company's expansion or even building dormitories for the company's employees..." Zhang Junfeng thought about it and thought of the common reasons for non-real estate companies to acquire land in his previous life. Acquiring land at a low price can actually increase a large amount of company assets, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone! Hearing Zhang Junfeng's alternative reason for "acquiring land", Ma Huazhuo was also quite impressed. Especially the latter building dormitories for employees can definitely gain a large wave of employees' sense of belonging~! Since 2000, when the system of housing distribution for employee welfare in units was officially abolished, the work benefits of those young people have been much worse than before.

…

Central District Police Station, inside the detention room.

Liu Qixian, who had several more scars on his body, was also quite aggrieved. He crossed the sea to Hong Kong that day and was about to check in at the Central Hotel when he encountered a black car operated by a gang. He didn't pay attention and was severely ripped off by the black car driver when he arrived near the hotel. This made Liu Qixian, who didn't have much money with him, anxious. If he gave all the money to the other party, he might not even be able to afford to stay in the hotel, so he argued with the other party.

The result was a dispute and a fight, and finally the patrol police noticed and detained the two. The other party was quickly taken away by other members of the society, but Liu Qixian didn't know anyone here, and even his mobile phone was smashed, which meant that he could only stay here for 48 hours according to the regulations before leaving.

This result was definitely a heavy blow to him! The general manager had given him such an important task, but he encountered such a ridiculous thing, which led to him being trapped in this small room. Even if he wanted to explain to the police and wanted to borrow the phone to report to the company, his small request was directly ignored by those arrogant police.

When it was almost 48 hours and he was about to be released, two policemen rushed to his detention room and asked him to confirm his information. After learning that he was the person the boss had asked them to find, they looked a little nervous. The older policeman said shamelessly, "Mr. Liu, your detention can be ended early. We checked the previous fight and found that you were not at fault. You can leave now. Of course, we can sponsor you 1,000 Hong Kong dollars so that you can go wherever you want."

Hearing his senior colleague say this, the young policeman was a little confused. He didn't understand why the other party did this? After all, even if someone came to rescue this outsider, there was no need to pay him, right? Wouldn't it be enough to let him go?! ...

When Liu Qixian heard the leading policeman say this, he nodded without thinking too much and followed them to go through the formalities. When he really came out, he put the 1,000 Hong Kong dollars he received in his pocket and was about to find a nearby phone booth or a convenience store where he could make a call to contact the company, when a middle-aged man in a suit outside the police station stopped him directly, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Liu Qixian? We are from PCCW. Mr. Li ordered us to take you to the hotel to meet Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ma."

"...Meet Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ma? Wait, weren't you the ones who brought me out of the police station earlier?" Liu Qixian asked belatedly. He knew the name of PCCW. Wasn't it the purpose of their coming to Hong Kong this time to have a meeting with their people? But considering the time, the meeting should have ended by now...

"Yes~! Now please come with us, Mr. Liu~!" the other party invited again.

Seeing this, Liu Qixian nodded, followed the other party into the car, and headed to the Four Seasons Hotel where Zhang Junfeng and others were staying.

After Liu Qixian met up with Ma Huazhuo in the hotel, the 30-year-old Liu Qixian was so excited that tears flowed down his face. He had a very difficult time these days. He was locked up in a small dark room in the police station for two days during a business trip. It was really unfortunate!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After Ma Huazhuo patiently comforted the man and asked him about the situation, he was speechless. It was really outrageous that his capable subordinate would lose contact for two days because of such a thing!

Zhang Junfeng reminded them, "If Penguin Company needs to come to Hong Kong for business in the future, they must be careful about their safety. Although this place is prosperous, there are always some dark corners where the sun doesn't shine. It's a blessing in disguise that no one was hurt this time. If something similar happens again, you may not be so lucky again~!"

Hearing Zhang Junfeng's reminder, Ma Huazhu nodded thoughtfully. This sudden incident really needs to be alerted. If he hadn't taken timely remedial measures, I'm afraid things would have really messed up.

——————Dividing line——————

In the following time, everyone just took a short rest in the hotel and had no plans to go sightseeing. The next morning, after Zhang Junfeng said hello to Ma Huazhuo and others, he took Wu Xiuying and several bodyguards to the airport to prepare to return to Goryeo. Seeing this, Ma Huazhuo did not stay any longer and took his subordinates to return to Pengcheng on the same day by ferry.

However, what Zhang Junfeng and others did not know was that on the day they left, PCCW Chairman Li Zekai went to Hutchison Whampoa to ask his father Li Ka Shing about something.

Seeing his second son coming to him during work hours, Li Ka Shing was quite surprised. "How come you have time to come to Hutchison at this time? You are not here to visit me, are you?"

Facing the other party's almost teasing inquiry, Li Zekai smiled and explained his purpose, "Mainly, there is one thing I want to consult you about. Yesterday, when I was negotiating with a shareholder of a company to acquire part of the other party's shares, the other party proposed another investment project. He said that he was optimistic about the real estate market in mainland China. What do you think?"

Li Jiacheng did not rush to answer, but his eyebrows twitched slightly, and then asked, "Can you tell me, who proposed this matter?"

"The person you must know is the boss of Comet Capital - Zhang Junfeng!" Li Zekai did not hide anything. In his opinion, even if he wanted to hide something from a wise elder like his father Li Ka Shing, he might as well not be able to do so. So he might as well play his cards openly to get what he wanted.

"What Zhang Junfeng said is correct. The real estate market in the north does have great room for growth, but in addition to a large amount of capital investment, it also takes a long time. Do you think you have both of these qualities?" Li Ka Shing looked at his youngest son meaningfully. In his impression, the other party's temperament was obviously not as calm as his elder brother Li Zeju, and he was more inclined to high-risk investments in the short and medium term.

"What if I want to give it a try?" Li Zekai asked expressionlessly. He could guess what the other party meant. He just felt that he couldn't do it and wanted to give up. But the more he was looked down upon, the more unwilling Li Zekai felt, so he asked this question.

"You may make a lot of money there, but you may also suffer a big setback! The north is vast, unlike our small area. Do you know clearly which cities there have the most room for development and the most potential for housing prices? And how can you build your own network of contacts there? This is not something that can be done overnight!" Li Ka Shing sighed helplessly. If possible, he still didn't want the other party to take this risk. (End of this chapter)
