Chapter 206 Final Battle(1/3)
"Arong, what's wrong? What did Daheng Huo tell you before leaving?"
Lei Juehua saw Lei Yunrong chatting with Huo Daheng at the door and stood there in a daze and asked in a daze.
"No dad, Huo Daheng just told me not to be absent."
"Do you think I'm not good at retirement? Use such a bad excuse to make me vain? Tell me, maybe I can analyze it for you."
Lei Yunrong sighed and smiled bitterly:
"Actually, it's nothing. Before leaving, Huo Dakun told me about this National Day celebration, and Li Chaoren was specially invited."
"Isn't this a normal thing? Li Chaoren doesn't say that he is famous now because of his competition for Hutchison Whampoa with you. He was also a well-known figure before that."
"Of course I know this, but before leaving, Huo Daheng mentioned Li Chaoren specifically to me and did not mention anyone else. I think he must have some profound meaning."
"Do you think he is a lobbyist for Li Chaoren and wants you to give up fighting with him for Hutchison Whampoa Company? But this is not right. If he is really a lobbyist, there is no need for him to play a puzzle with you like this and just talk to you directly."
"Dad, of course I know that Mr. Huo cannot serve as a lobbyist for Li Chaoren. Their friendship has not improved to that extent, so he doesn't need to tread this muddy water."
"I think the mainland may be trying to express what it means. After all, Huo Daheng can be said to be the spokesperson of the mainland in the Hong Kong rich circle. And with his identity, there is no need to just invite us to come north and come here in person."
"Arong, do you think the north is interfering in the dispute between you and Li Chaoren for Hutchison Whampoa?"
Lei Yunrong nodded and said:
"That's right, Dad, do you think it was Li Chaoren who asked the north side to act as a lobbyist to persuade me to give up. After all, Li Chaoren has been to the capital several times before, and has a good relationship with him there."
"This is impossible. Although this incident caused a big storm, it is just a business behavior after all. If someone wants to manage a country with great difficulty, how can there be time and energy to mix with your small matter?"
"Besides, although Li Chaoren has a good relationship with the mainland, our Lei family has a good relationship with the mainland through exchanges over the past few years. What's more, the strength of our Lei family is not comparable to that of Li Chaoren at this time. The mainland will not be so stupid. I would rather do this even though I know that doing this will offend you."
"Then what does it mean to mention to me that Li Chaoren will also attend the celebration?"
"This is why I'm not willing to participate in politics. I always speak without making it clearer, and I guess it around and around."
Lei Yunrong can be said to be at a high position when he debuted, and his status became even higher and higher. Almost no one could tell him that he could guess, only he could tell others to guess.
Now that Huo Daheng said this, Lei Yunrong was very uncomfortable.
Or, are you thinking too much?
Seeing that Lei Yunrong was still worried about this matter, Lei Juehua continued:
"Arong, actually, don't think about things so complicatedly. Don't think about what the mainland is thinking, but think about what you think yourself."
Looking at Lei Yunrong's slightly confused gaze, Lei Juehua continued:
"If the mainland really hopes that peace is the most important thing and persuades you to give up fighting with Li Chaoren for Hutchison Whampoa, will you agree?"
Lei Yunrong hesitated for a moment and shook his head and said:
"Won't!"
Although Lei Yun is in the mainland, he is not the Holy Mother. He will get along with the north in his own way, rather than sacrificing his own interests mindlessly.
"If that's the case, what's the point of you? No matter what Huo Daheng said to you before leaving, you just need to follow your plan. You have invested so much money and energy in this matter now. No matter what, I don't agree with you giving up."
"I understand Dad."
Lei Yunrong also thought about it for a moment, and he always subconsciously thought that he wanted to stand on the north side. But even if he had this attitude, he could not be too flattering. To be honest, if you act too obediently, people may doubt whether you have ulterior motives or they would not cherish your kindness at all.
Seeing Lei Yunrong's pine expression slowing down, Lei Juehua said with a smile:
"Then do you know what to do next?"
"Of course, take Hutchison Whampoa completely."
"Arong, don't be careless. Today, Li Chaoren borrowed 800 million Hong Kong dollars in cash from HSBC. You still have some fighting in this acquisition war."
Although they did not make a big fuss about HSBC's loan to Li Chaoren, they did not hide it. Many people and the media knew that this was actually a kind of attitude HSBC was expressing to the outside world:
He is upright and does not fear the shadows. There is no insider trading between HSBC and Li Chaoren.
At the moment when the public opinion outside was raging, HSBC actually lends money to Li Chaoren so hard, and is not afraid of rumors outside.
"Dad I know, although this will make things more difficult, I believe that the final victory must belong to me."
"Just as long as you have this confidence, I will wait and see."
After Lei Juehua said that, he went back to his room to rest, but when Lei Yunrong finished washing and came to the study to deal with some things, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
As soon as Lei Yunrong answered the phone, an excited voice came from inside:
"Allen, it's done!"
"real?"
"Of course, we just signed the contract and the moji hasn't dried up, so I couldn't help calling you to tell you the good news."
"Okay! Great, thank you for your hard work this time."
Lei Yunrong chatted with the person opposite the phone for a few more words and hung up the phone, and the corners of his mouth kept rising.
With this good news, the previously difficult problems will no longer be the problem.
Lei Yunrong was not in the mood to continue staying in the study room, turned around and went back to the room to sleep with his wife.
The next day, Lei Yunrong slept until he woke up naturally. When he came to Kowloon Securities, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Unlike Lei Yunrong's relaxed look, Luo Zhang looked a little anxious at this time.
"Lei Sheng, are you finally here?"
"Old Luo, what's wrong? What happened? You're so anxious when something happened." Lei Yunrong chuckled.
Seeing that Lei Yunrong could still laugh, Luo Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Lei Sheng, early this morning, people from Changjiang Industrial came to inform us that the board of directors of Changjiang Industrial will be held at 10 am tomorrow. Please attend on time."
"Isn't it just to participate in the board of directors? We own more than 20% of the shares and can automatically become directors of Changjiang Industrial. Of course, they will notify us if they want to hold a board of directors."
"But Lei Sheng, Li Chaoren is now in possession of 800 million Hong Kong dollars. His purpose of suddenly holding a board meeting this time is self-evident. He must deal with you."
"Does he have any other moves?"
"Not noticed yet, the stock market is also very calm."
"It seems that this Li Chaoren is also calm. If it were someone else, he might have acted impatiently that day."
"Lei Sheng, Li Chaoren's performance shows that he may be ready. This time, the board of directors of Changjiang Industrial may be very unfavorable to us."
"It doesn't matter, soldiers come to block the enemy, and water comes to cover the enemy's body."
But at this moment, the phone in Luo Zhang's office suddenly rang.
As soon as Luo Zhang picked it up, he handed the microphone to Lei Yunrong and whispered in a whisper to his puzzled gaze:
"It's Wei Li."
Lei Yunrong took the phone and said:
"What's wrong with calling now?"
"Just Lee just proposed to hold a board meeting of Hutchison Whampoa tomorrow afternoon, and someone will come to inform you later."
"Tomorrow afternoon?"
"Yes, it's tomorrow afternoon."
"Since someone will notify you to call me?"
"If it were just because of this, of course I wouldn't contact you. I also learned that one thing might be interesting to you."
"What do you say?"
"Lei Sheng, Li Chaoren may have convened a board meeting to gain more equity through targeted share issuances as you thought before, so you should be better prepared for the board of directors this time."
"I understand, do you still have it?"
"This time I saw that Li Chaoren was full of confidence. He should probably want to completely resolve the Hutchison Whampoa acquisition through tomorrow's board of directors, so he should have made complete preparations. Lei Sheng, you have to think of countermeasures."
Lei Yunrong felt that Wei Li was more anxious about the Hutchison Whampoa board meeting to be held tomorrow. In fact, it was the day when Li Chaoren officially took over Hutchison Whampoa, it was when Wei Li stepped down.
When he got off the stage, Wei Li was not sure whether Li Chaoren would take control of him.
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. You can continue to ask for information for help, and in the end you will definitely be safe and sound."
After hanging up Wei Li's phone call, Lei Yunrong smiled and said to Luo Zhang:
"Just I just said that Li Chaoren could hold it back, but he didn't expect that he was even more anxious. He actually wanted to completely solve us in one day."
"Lei Sheng, Wei Li called and said something?"
"Tomorrow afternoon, Hutchison Whampoa will also hold a board meeting."
"Li Chaoren is so ambitious? Only 800 million Hong Kong dollars makes him so arrogant?"
"I don't know, maybe he has prepared some other trump cards, but we don't know. But I don't know who gave him the courage to dare to underestimate us like this."
"Since he has chosen his day, we will completely solve him tomorrow!"
"Lei Sheng, Li Chaoren is still having a greater advantage now." Luo Zhang said hesitantly.
"I know, but don't worry, I have my own arrangements tomorrow."
