Since the 1970s, with the rapid population growth in Hong Kong, gas has become an indispensable necessity for every household, and the China Gas Company, which holds the gas franchise, is a gold mine that makes a fortune every day.
Although the price is regulated by the Hong Kong government because it is a public utility, but small amounts add up to a large amount and can provide a stable cash flow. No big boss with vision will miss out on this big piece of fat meat.
Jardine Matheson took the lead and announced that it would invest HK$1 billion in cash and shares of Hong Kong Electric Company Limited worth HK$500 million.
The full acquisition of more than 7 million shares of China Gas Company held by Li Mingze can be said to be full of sincerity.
This powerful declaration shocked all the citizens of Hong Kong and officially announced the strong return of the first British financial group.
At the same time, an announcement was made in major newspapers and periodicals that all shares of the China Gas Company held by Hong Kong citizens would be purchased at a price of HK$150 per share.
This made some shareholders who held China Gas Company shares ecstatic, and some of them went to the exchange points announced by Jardine Matheson to trade.
But veteran stock investors chose to sit on the sidelines and watch, because these people are old hands who have been in the stock market for many years.
Naturally, their vision is a hundred times better than that of a newbie entering the stock market. They keenly realized that China Gas Company might be caught up in a battle like Hutchison Whampoa, so they kept their hands off and prepared to wait and see.
As expected, just when all the citizens of Hong Kong were waiting for Li Mingze's response, an official announcement of the news suddenly occupied the front page headlines of all media newspapers in Hong Kong.
A luxury private ward at St. Paul's Hospital in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island.
After Mo Zhexuan received the call, he and Wang Yalin rushed here without stopping.
As soon as he saw Li Wei, the general manager of Fragrant Duck, he hurriedly asked:
"How are Li Xiaomei and the other employees doing now?"
"Mr. Mo! Li Xiaomei suffered a severe concussion and is currently unconscious. The other four employees only had superficial injuries and are currently being treated."
Li Wei's face was full of anger. As the head of a company, his employees were beaten.
This is a slap in the face of Xiangwei Duck. If even the safety of employees' lives cannot be guaranteed, who will work hard for the company?
"Tell me the whole story in detail."
The first thing that came to Mo Zhexuan's mind was that this matter was unusual and that someone must be secretly retaliating.
The first person to be judged as the mastermind behind the incident is Maxim's, which gave the other party a bad time some time ago. As for the previous Juewei, it has closed down.
Although there are still a few other brands of duck neck stores in Hong Kong, they are all very small and probably do not have such a great impact.
"Mr. Mo! What happened is this: At 10:45 this morning, a young man brought an elderly person and a child to the Causeway Bay Times Square branch. He claimed the child had food poisoning from eating the Fragrant Duck neck."
"Manager Li Xiaomei went to explain to the young man, but he refused to listen and instead became violent. He pushed Manager Li Xiaomei against the glass and beat up several other employees."
"It was only after bystanders at the scene called the police that manager Li Xiaomei and several employees were sent to the hospital. I feel like someone is definitely trying to smear our Fragrant Duck."
"I can assure you that there are no problems with our duck classification products. Our processing plant supplies them uniformly every day. If there are any slow-selling products, they will be vacuum-packed and sold at a discount within the shelf life."
"Every product that comes out of the food processing plant is strictly inspected by quality inspectors to prevent food safety accidents."
"After the incident, I immediately investigated the identity of the young man and found out that he was from Shengyi Hall."
Li Wei's expression was full of seriousness. He then blurted out what had happened and also told the results of the investigation.
The most important thing about this matter now is to find a way to resolve it. The mastermind behind the scenes deliberately framed him and definitely wanted to make a big deal out of it.
When the news media reporters get involved, this matter will definitely be exposed, and Fragrant Duck will definitely be at the center of public attention.
"Now we have to find a way to resolve this. If we allow public opinion to ferment, it will put us in a more disadvantageous position. Do you have any plans now?"
Mo Zhexuan's eyes narrowed slightly. Someone actually framed Shengyi Hall, which meant that the mastermind behind this must be a society. Who could be the mastermind behind this?
Since its development in recent days, Fragrant Duck has not only taken care of the departments directly under the Hong Kong government, but also the territories of some community organizations.
If the fees you should pay are not excessive, you can just turn a blind eye and pay them. After all, less trouble is worse than more.
"Mr. Mo! I think we absolutely cannot compromise. If we compromise with this young man, it would be tantamount to admitting to all the citizens of Hong Kong that our fragrant duck does have food safety issues."
"This will be a huge blow to our reputation, so we should fight to the end and sue the young man for damaging our company's finances and assaulting our employees."
"Secondly, I think we should hold a press conference to proactively clarify this incident with the media and announce to the public that our fragrant duck has been inspected by the Hong Kong Food Bureau and qualified by a third-party notarized agency."
"If this gets out of hand, we can simply ask a world-renowned food safety agency to conduct on-site food testing. That would be more convincing and would show consumers our resolve."
