No. 79, Deep Water Bay

This mansion in Deep Water Bay was built in the early 1960s. It was purchased by Li Chaoru for HK$600,000 when he and his cousin got married. Li Chaoren has lived here for 20 years since their marriage.

In later generations, this house has always been Li Chaoren's residence, and he has lived there for decades, which is of extraordinary significance.

Legend has it that this mansion contains wind and energy because it is located on the peninsula of Deep Water Bay. In Feng Shui, living near the water is a symbol of auspiciousness, and the convergence of two currents is a symbol of gathering wealth.

The peninsula-shaped Deepwater Bay forms a natural haven. The water flows here and slowly merges, which is an auspicious sign of gathering wealth.

The Feng Shui theory of gathering wealth and auspicious houses can be said to be very popular in Xiangjiang. From top to bottom in Xiangjiang, both the rich and the common people believe in these things.

Since marrying his wife and moving into this mansion, Li Chaoren's career has flourished day by day. In the late 1970s, he settled in Hutchison Whampoa, pushing his reputation to the top.

The reason why it was the late 1970s, not the 1980s and 1990s, is naturally because of our boss Yang, who alone is the richest man in Hong Kong, the richest Chinese, the richest man in Asia, and the richest man in the world.

Without the blessing of the title of richest man, Li Chaoren will naturally lose the most important halo in his life. The world will always pay attention to the first and second place, while the second place will always be ignored, even if the two are similar.

Big, the result is the same.

When Li Chaoren got up in the morning and received a call from his secretary, he changed his usual amiable attitude and greeted the ancestors of the white-faced Ma family in his study. He was so angry that he threw tea cups and smashed furniture.

He was really angry this time, and his anger was probably even greater than when his eldest son was invited to tea by Brother Hao in his previous life.

Originally, he thought that he had said hello and Oriental Daily should give him some face, but he didn't want the other party to go back on his promise.

He just jumped out on his own, and also jumped out with some second- and third-rate newspapers. Li Chaoren didn't know when he had offended so many people.

There is a saying that cutting off people's money is like killing their parents. He has cut off the money of countless people along the way. Although he can't say that he has enemies everywhere, he is definitely indispensable.

Those people would naturally not make any small moves when he was at the top of his game, but once something went wrong with him, there would definitely be a lot of people who would beat him up and add insult to injury.

He had just held a shareholders' meeting yesterday and said he would handle the matter, but he thought that the second-generation horse would not give him any face at all, which suddenly disrupted his plan.

This made him extremely angry

Of course, what made him most angry was the feeling of being slapped in the face. He was very unhappy. Li Chaoren had not encountered this kind of situation for a long time. This kind of thing had never happened to him since joining Hutchison.

.

Ding ding——

"Hello"

"Okay, I understand."

"I'll be at the company right away."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chaoren had no intention of continuing to lose his temper. He went straight out of the study, changed his clothes, and drove to the company in a hurry.

The sequelae of his fund-raising in the previous month have already appeared. Yesterday, some shareholders began to attack him. Today, Hutchison and Cheung Kong have been exposed to such a big scandal, and the consequences can be imagined.

Although he has made a lot of money for Hutchison's shareholders over the years, people's hearts are greedy, and everyone only wants more, instead of caring about his past achievements.

If it comes to Changshi, he can rest assured that as a company that started out, Li Chaoren holds 49% of its shares, and no one can shake his control over Changshi.

But Hutchison is different. Since Yang Chen jumped out, his holdings in Hutchison are not as large as in his previous life, and he has not yet reached absolute control.

In other words, once other Hutchison shareholders unite, he may be overthrown.

If it were someone else, he would not be afraid, but if the Yang Group, the second largest shareholder of Hutchison, holds 25% of the shares in Hutchison, once the Yang Group wants to take over Hutchison, other shareholders will inevitably

Will support.

Now that the world is facing a financial crisis, the Hang Seng Index has plummeted, and Hutchison's stock price has plummeted inexplicably. At this time, after Oriental Daily blew the whistle, other shareholders have become even more distrustful of him.

Now he hasn't figured out who is behind it. If there is another chaos within the company, it will be over.

Compared to the Yang Group, it is self-evident who everyone believes.

The current trouble is a problem for him, but for the Yang Consortium, the trouble may turn into a help.

He cannot let Hutchison be lost from his hands. The Yang Group may not care about a Hutchison, but Li Chaoren cannot care about him. Once Hutchison changes owners, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to his career.

"Boss, you are finally here."

After finally getting rid of the reporters, Li Chaoren looked at his secretary and asked, "Is everyone here?"

The secretary said: "Everyone is here, everyone is waiting for the boss in the conference room."

When Li Chaoren heard this, his feet were like wind and he quickly walked into the elevator.

In the conference room, all senior executives of Hutchison were gathered here.

There was no noise in the conference room, and the atmosphere seemed very depressing.

Tread——

The sound of footsteps sounded, and before Li Chaoren appeared at the door, everyone in the conference room immediately stood up.

Entering the conference room, Li Chaoren glanced at everyone present and found that no senior executive was absent, and then pressed down with his hand.

"I think everyone knows what is going on now. Yesterday, our company's stock price fell by 70% inexplicably. I have sent people to investigate the reason. Someone is deliberately shorting our company. I believe everyone has read today's newspaper.

Now that something has happened, I, as the chairman, will solve the problem. The most important thing for the company next is stability. No matter what is said outside or what happens, it has nothing to do with you people.

Now your task is to do the job at hand, do whatever you need to do, don’t interfere with things that shouldn’t be done, don’t ask questions that shouldn’t be asked, and don’t spread things that shouldn’t be said around the company..."

"Okay, except for Manager Wu, everyone else will go back to their respective workplaces immediately and take care of everyone below. I don't want any commotion within the company today."

When all the senior executives heard their boss's words, they subconsciously glanced at Manager Wu, and some of them who were close to him gave him a wishing look.

No one dared to stay, and everyone left the meeting room with relief. Faced with the oppression of a boss like Li Chaoren, few people could remain indifferent.

Except for the despairing Manager Wu, who was sitting alone, waiting for the predictable outcome, everyone else disappeared into the conference room in the blink of an eye.
