The shipping magnate and his staff arrived at Lanxiangyuan Teahouse, a local establishment that was later hailed as the best place to eat in the port city.
Hong Kong is a truly magical place. In teahouses, you might encounter celebrities, legendary tycoons, and all sorts of dignitaries.
They don't put on airs; they appear in everyday life just like ordinary people. They don't think much of themselves just because they have money or status.
Perhaps this is a unique aspect of the port city's culture. And such an atmosphere is undoubtedly a good thing in this era.
But then, for some reason, some changes occurred.
Times are changing, people are changing, and society as a whole is changing; this is inevitable.
The only constant is change...
At this time, Bao, the shipping magnate, was undoubtedly at the forefront of the times. He kept pace with the changing times and led his entire family onto a path of good development.
But at the same time, he is getting old, and everything he is doing now is to leave a more substantial legacy for his descendants. He cannot protect these children for the rest of his life.
The shipping magnate is quite famous in the port city, and along the way, many neighbors who had morning tea with him greeted him.
The shipping magnate responded to everyone very politely.
"Mr. Shipping magnate, you're having morning tea at Lanxiangyuan again today? It's been a while since I've seen you. Where have you been making your fortune lately? Could you bring your brothers along?"
"Haha, even if the shipping magnate tells you, do you have the capital to follow him? Mr. Shipping Magnate, ignore him, he's just a fool..."
Hearing the neighbors joking around, the shipping magnate was amused and jokingly joined in. He then sat down at his table to wait for his guests. Turning to his aides, he said:
"Qiang, what kind of person do you think is in charge of the Chenxi Group?"
At this moment, the staff member A-Qiang said with a smile:
"Boss, I think the other party must be in a similar situation to the eldest young master, right?"
Upon hearing this, the shipping magnate smiled and waved his hand:
"Stop praising him so much, he doesn't have that ability or skill."
"Why am I still working so hard at my age? It's because none of these kids are any good. I need to leave them a lot of wealth."
"We are determined to gain control of Wharf Holdings this time! If our prediction is correct, they should be willing to cooperate with us."
"We still can't figure out the details of the Morning Light Group. We don't know how much capital they have or how strong their strength is. Everything is unknown."
Ah Qiang couldn't help but nod heavily at this moment:
“That’s right, boss. I thought our funds were already quite substantial, but now it seems that the Morning Light Group is even more terrifying.”
"If it weren't for Shen Daban's intervention, they would probably have continued their acquisitions. According to the information we've gathered, Morning Light Group has bought up a significant amount of almost every low-priced Hong Kong stock."
"With this series of moves, they've probably invested billions of dollars! Or even more!"
After listening, Bao, the shipping magnate, nodded heavily:
"Yes, that's quite a sum! I didn't expect them to have such deep pockets! It will be very difficult for us to gain the upper hand in the negotiations!"
A-Qiang also agreed with the boss's point of view; the Chenxi Group was indeed not to be underestimated.
"This is all too terrifying. Anyone who goes against the Morning Light Group will probably be targeted by them with precision."
"In this way, the Morning Light Group has gained control of the entire Hong Kong stock market. They are continuously absorbing profits from those stocks, and their share prices are slowly starting to rise. Therefore, if they choose to short these stocks, it will have a devastating impact..."
At this point, the shipping magnate waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry about that. Only a fool would do that. Otherwise, he would be making an enemy of the entire city of Hong Kong. What good would that do for his future development in Hong Kong?"
"If we can make money together, everyone will benefit, and that's how he can have a better future and a longer-term future."
"The head of the Dawn Group is a smart man; he wouldn't do something so foolish."
Upon hearing this, A-Qiang nodded:
"That's what I think too. I just hope he's not the kind of crazy person that everyone expects."
At this moment, the shipping magnate smiled:
“If he dares to do that, we’ll buy up as many Wharf Holdings shares as there are! It would actually be a good thing for us.”
Upon hearing the shipping magnate's words, Ah-Qiang smiled.
As the two were discussing things in secret, they suddenly noticed that the entire teahouse fell silent for a moment.
You see, this place is always bustling with people. Locals drink morning tea here, chatting about their experiences, where they've recently struck it rich, or what strange things have happened. It's a lively and vibrant place, full of life. Naturally, the environment is quite noisy.
The ship king also chose a private seat with fewer people, which was a little further away from the other tables and was by the window, where he could see the bustling street scene outside.
However, the sudden silence in the teahouse surprised Bao Chuanwang and his group. Had some important figure arrived on the first floor, causing such a stir?
Sure enough, after a short while, a lot of murmurs came from downstairs. These people didn't lower their voices; instead, they started talking loudly and enthusiastically.
"Oh my, who was that young lady just now? She's so beautiful! Judging from her entourage, she must be very rich and noble!"
"Is there even a question? It's definitely the shipping magnate's distinguished guest! You'd better not neglect him, hurry up and go serve him well!"
"Does anyone recognize her? She's so beautiful! When did such a stunning woman appear in our port city?"
"I really envy her husband. If I married him, I'd have both wealth and beauty, and I'd never have to worry about anything for the rest of my life!"
"Hehe, you really have a good mind. Do you think ordinary people can get in touch with such a favored daughter of heaven?"
"Look at her temperament and aura. Even an ordinary person couldn't handle marrying her..."
The voice arrived before the person! The shipping magnate and his advisor Mo Ziqiang couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
If they're not mistaken, the person who arrived is the distinguished guest they're meeting today.
Sure enough, soon the sound of steady, powerful high heels clicking on the stairs could be heard. The people on the second floor seemed to have heard the conversation of the guests on the first floor, and naturally they all craned their necks to look at the stairwell.
Let's see if she's really that beautiful and radiant, worthy of so many people's praise.
Then, a radiant face came into view, and a graceful figure swayed towards them, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away. The entire second floor of the teahouse seemed to shimmer and glow because of this woman's brilliance…
