Large companies are not afraid of lawsuits. They have dedicated teams of lawyers and are not afraid of legal confrontations.

But big companies are afraid of pressure from public opinion, and they still have to continue doing business after all.

Ximen opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but when he thought that the whole world would know about this matter, there was no need to speak at this time. It was better to wait for Richard to handle the matter.

After finishing Jardine Wo's game, it's time to play Po Leung Kuk.

Richard looked at Zhou Xinian, coughed slightly, and said softly: "Sir Zhou, I think you know the rights and wrongs of this accident."

"The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a bill, please take a look."

The staff sitting in the back row quickly stood up and placed the bill issued by the Environmental Protection Agency in front of these people.

Three hundred and sixty million.

This is an astronomical figure!

Zhou Xinian pinched the bills with his hands and used money from Chinese businessmen to plug the holes in Yihe. The Chief Secretary's methods became more and more sophisticated.

The disaster this time was very serious.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xinian looked at Lin Huaile aside and said, "Sir Lin, what do you think?".

"Take Uncle Shao Liu and Sir Lin as examples. Your two factories, cinemas, and TV stations are all inseparable from electricity."

But if you don't say anything, you will be slapped with a big hat of cheating and cheating.

Richard re-explained the purpose of this fee. It is money to buy life. If you pay this money, let the past be forgotten. If you don't pay it, then everyone will enter the ancestral hall.

"Without the preferential oil policy, the entire Xiangjiang will be shut down!".

Lin Huaile did not keep his voice low, he spoke for everyone present.

Richard was very tired, but he had to facilitate this negotiation. Someone had to take over the mess of Tsing Yi Power Plant.

"Third Uncle, I can't recognize this money."

"Oil smuggling is a serious crime, and the relevant persons detained can be sentenced by the judicial department in accordance with the law."

"Also, the China Securities Regulatory Commission has rejected the electric lighting company's application for trading suspension."

How could such an old hen that lays golden eggs kill her before she can protect her in time?

Ximen thought for a moment, nodded helplessly, and said, "We accept the latter acquisition condition."

The stock price is falling, but the price given by Lin Huaile has not continued to fall. The electric lighting company is a high-quality asset. Water, electricity and gas, a livelihood project like this, how can it not make money?

This is also the reason why we want to attract Lin Huaile. It is a well-known fact that semiconductors have a future. With money and an industrial chain, you have the right to speak, and you can speak for Chinese businessmen better.

"Sir Lin, what do you think?"

"If you leave it to me, I can only spend 1.3 billion."

The prefixes of more than a dozen companies were divided together, and each company paid 20 million for a nod, which is not a big deal.

When Richard saw Lin Huaile relenting, he turned his head and looked at Ximen.

Zhou Xinian smiled bitterly and picked up the bill on the table and began to bargain with Richard, trying to get a lucky number.

Uncle Shao was the first to stand up and applaud to congratulate Lin Huaile.

As for who the oil comes from, these two families don't care at all!

"I want to correct you, this is not a aftermath fee, it is a fine, which can also be understood as a settlement fee."

This is the only jewel left in the Queen's crown. The Overseas Colonial Office collects at least 20 billion pounds in taxes from Hong Kong every year.

"Yihe took the blame and we paid for it. This is a really smart calculation!".

Because no one is sure of the subsequent judgment of the court.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, congratulations, you have to treat everyone to a drink this time."

Yue Shenglun smiled awkwardly. He was a scholar, so of course he was not as thick-skinned as these businessmen, and he remained silent after that.

The 380 million was written unclearly, it was only said to be follow-up compensation, and God knows whose pocket it will end up in.

After hearing Ximen admitting defeat, Lin Huaile finally had a heartfelt smile on his face.

Zhou Xinian came to negotiate for these societies on behalf of Po Leung Kuk, which was a helpless move. Po Leung Kuk is no longer the Po Leung Kuk it was back then, and it no longer has much say in the Government House.

Seeing the ugly expressions on the faces of the Chinese businessmen, Yue Shenglun quickly came out to smooth things over: "Mr. Sir, you have no choice but to do so. The preferential oil policy is related to everyone's interests."

Jack Jin received the news as soon as possible, and then immediately cleared his short position and switched to long position.

What a dilemma!

"But the premise is that Jardine must clean up the accident caused by the Qingyi Power Plant."

"There will be a series of plans in the bay to redevelop the area near the Tsing Yi power plant."

"The subsequent processing of Tsing Yi Power Plant will be handled by the Electric Light Company!".

"The Hang Seng Index has been plummeting, which is not a good thing for everyone. Jardine Matheson has decided to sell its shares in the electric lighting company."

The Government-General's Office and the Chief Secretary just want to take advantage of this incident and scratch a layer of oil.

Of course, they will come up with an idea after discussing how to divide it, who will get the big share, and who will get the small share.

As the bank consultant of Gulf Group, Shen Bi did not save face for Ximen and stood up to congratulate Lin Huaile.

Lin Huaile's current price is already the highest price, and CLP's price is even lower than Gulf's price.

What do you think?

How could he see it?

Lin Huaile didn't want to speak at all. He was just a spectator here today.

"Gulf Group is willing to pay HK$1.5 billion in cash to acquire the shares of the electric lighting company held by Jardine Matheson Group."

Shen Bi didn't say anything. He came here just to see the excitement in Yihe. He didn't pay attention to the investigation team of the Overseas Colonial Department at all.

"If the Overseas Colonial Office's investigation report is ugly, everyone here will feel uncomfortable."

"If we subsidize fishermen and clean up oil pollution, we'll just admit it. It's considered a good deed. But this is obviously to use the money to deal with the investigation team of the Overseas Colonial Department."

Jardine officially lost the Electric Light Company.

"As for the aftermath plan and compensation, the Legislative Council and the courts will issue it to the electric lighting company, and it will be released publicly at the end of the month."

Zhou Xinian also looked at Lin Huaile. This was the first time that Chinese capital had acquired a people's livelihood project, and it was the beginning of going from zero to one.

Now that the fine has been negotiated, it’s time to discuss the follow-up solution.

This closed-door meeting ended like this.

Times create heroes, and heroes create times.

Two hundred and ninety million!

This is the final number determined after the two perform oral gymnastics.

In less than a week, Jack Jin has already earned more than 900 million Hong Kong dollars. Although it is not as much as planned, it is still a considerable amount.

Unfortunately, more money was lost in the stock market crash.

But this record cannot be told to the outside world, or even mentioned to my wife, because the issues involved are not as simple as the death of one or two people.

Black Friday is the day that Hong Kong’s media and academic circles named the day when the electric lighting company’s plunge triggered the Hang Seng crash.
Chapter completed!
