at the same time.
In the office of the Chairman of Cheung Kong Holdings.
Li Ka-shing, the future richest Chinese, was sitting in his office chair, reading the latest issue of Hong Kong's Economic Daily, frowning and thinking hard about how to raise a huge amount of funds.
When he saw the news in the newspaper that Ruitai Fund No. 1 and Ruitai Fund No. 2 had raised a total of HK$1.8 billion, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, his heart was filled with complicated feelings. He was really in pain and regretted investing 50 million Hong Kong dollars at the last Ruitai Securities cocktail party. But now that the matter was done, he could only find another way.
“Knock, knock!…”
When he heard the knock on the door, his thoughts gradually returned to reality. He turned around and said in a deep voice:
"Come in!"
After a while, a short-haired man wearing a black suit and a pair of Chinese-style framed glasses walked in anxiously, and then said solemnly:
"Mr. Li! Something's happened. We just contacted Guanghu Real Estate's shareholders, Li Chaozhi and Wang Lixi, and discovered they've sold their combined 10.12% stake to an investment company called Little Dragonfly for HK$125 million."
"We are currently conducting a detailed investigation into Little Dragonfly Investment Company. Currently, public information indicates that it is an American investment firm. We expect to uncover its true details within two weeks."
When Li Jiacheng heard this, he stood up from his boss chair. His eyes were as sharp as a falcon, with a hint of coldness. He was naturally furious that his prey was being targeted by someone else.
"How many Guanghu Real Estate shares do we currently hold from the stock market?"
"We currently hold a total of 1.35 million shares of Guanghu Real Estate, with the share price between HK$100 and HK$120, costing a total of HK$125 million. Guanghu Real Estate's share price has been slowly rising, recently fluctuating between HK$135 and HK$145."
The short-haired man looked serious when he heard this. If the share price of Guanghu Real Estate continued to rise, it would be very difficult to acquire more shares at the lowest cost.
Li Guanghu hasn't noticed it yet, but once he finds something unusual, a fierce fight will be inevitable. If he is not careful at that time, he will probably fail.
"Now our prey has been targeted by a new hunter. Li Guanghu is no ordinary man. He has been working in Hong Kong for many years and has a wide network of contacts. He has been troubled by his son's affairs recently. Once he reacts, it will be very difficult for us to successfully acquire the company."
"Xiao Li! I'm going to deposit 500 million Hong Kong dollars into your account. Use 200 million Hong Kong dollars for me to quietly acquire Guanghu Real Estate shares in the stock market, and the remaining 300 million Hong Kong dollars for me to acquire shares from HSBC, Standard Chartered, and Hang Seng Bank. Go do it now."
From a factory apprentice to a well-known tycoon in Hong Kong's business world, Li Jiacheng's vision, ability and courage are undoubtedly excellent. He immediately decided to acquire shares of Guanghu Real Estate at all costs. He naturally understood the principle that he would suffer the consequences if he hesitated to make a decision.
"Mr. Li! Then I'll do it now!"
The short-haired man nodded solemnly, then quickly walked out of the office, ready to go back and gather his men to make arrangements. If he succeeded, he would naturally be rewarded handsomely, but if he failed, he would certainly be held accountable, so he was even more concerned.
Li Jiacheng walked to the French window and stood firmly, looking down at the sea of people below. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought hard about the real culprit who acquired Guanghu Real Estate. Unconsciously, a young face emerged in his mind, muttering to himself:
"It can't be him! He has a total of 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars just from Ruitai No. 1 and Ruitai No. 2 funds. His strength is really not to be underestimated!"
Ever since I entered the business world, I have always had a strong sense of intuition in the face of countless decisions. Otherwise, I would not have been able to resolve crises and turn danger into safety time and time again.
Although he couldn't confirm the identity of the mastermind this time, his strong intuition told him that there was more than a 60% chance that it was Mo Zhexuan.
"Xiaoxuan! You've been doing so well so far that you don't know what failure is. This time, your Uncle Li is going to teach you a lesson." Li Jiacheng smiled slightly, then quickly walked to the desk, made a phone call, and spoke calmly:
"Hey! Shimin! I need a huge sum of money right now. Please suspend the auction of the Kowloon Peninsula land and transfer 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to me from Hutchison Whampoa's account."
"Now?"
"Okay! I'll do it right away."
After hanging up the phone, he picked up the Economic Daily and looked at the profile of Mo Zhexuan carefully. There was a hint of jealousy, a hint of envy, and all kinds of expressions in his eyes, which finally turned into a helpless cry.
He couldn't help but recall the first half of his life. Since his father died of illness, the 14-year-old him took on the responsibility of the family and went to his uncle Zhuang Jing'an's watch company to work as an apprentice, sweeping the floor and serving tea.
He will never forget the words a fortune teller gave him during his most difficult period: "Your eyes are dull, your frame is frail, and you may not achieve anything great in the future."
In order to prove himself, for the next three years, no matter it was windy, rainy, cold or hot, he was always the one who got up the earliest, went to bed the latest, and was the most hardworking.
At that time, his uncle did not give him any preferential treatment. The only skill he learned here was to observe people's words and expressions, and to speak differently to different people. At the same time, he also developed a philosophy of treating people with generosity and honesty, which laid a solid foundation for his future career development.
Then he entered the sales industry, studied hard, and practiced sales skills, and eventually became the general manager.
After struggling for several years, he finally had some savings in his hands, so he resolutely chose to start a business. Just like Tang Monk's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, he finally achieved success in his career after going through 81 difficulties.
Thinking back on his life experiences over the past few decades, the corners of his mouth felt slightly bitter, and two hot tears flowed from his eyes behind the lenses.
It has been really not easy along the way. The outside world has always said that he became successful by marrying the daughter of his uncle Zhuang Jing'an, but who knows the efforts and hardships he has put in.
Now after seeing Mo Zhexuan's entrepreneurial journey, I feel very complicated deep down in my heart, as if God is particularly kind to him.
In just one year, he almost achieved the results of his decades of hard work. How can this not make people envious and jealous?
