Half an hour later, a low-key black Cadillac parked at the door of the building. Brian came down the stairs with a calm expression and quickly stepped into the car.
"Mr. Brian."
Just as the Cadillac was about to drive away, Soros rushed out, came to the Cadillac, and stopped Brian with a smile.
With the car window down, Brian looked at Soros and said, "What's going on? I think we've already finished everything we need to talk about."
"Mr. Brian."
Soros sorted out his words, and then said slowly: "You have to know that I am forced to make choices on many things, so I hope you don't have any personal opinions about me."
"Really? Then should I sympathize with you or be considerate of you?" Brian sneered.
Shrugging, Soros said: "Actually, I don't particularly care what you think of me. There are many people who hate me, but I still live a happy life."
"Soros, you are inviting a wolf into the house. Do you think Li Bancheng is much easier to deal with than that Li Jin?" Brian said angrily.
Soros said calmly: "That is a matter between you and Wall Street. It has nothing to do with me. Li Bancheng is a traditional Chinese businessman. He believes in entity investment and hates capital operation, so I am destined to have nothing to do with him."
Brian snorted coldly and said, "Is that why you stopped me to say this?"
"Of course not."
Soros smiled meaningfully, held the car door with both hands, stared at Brian and said: "Man, this matter will be made public tomorrow, and a series of actions will follow. Before that, you shouldn't
You can’t wait to tell everyone this news, right?”
Brian said coldly: "You threaten me?"
"This is not a threat."
Soros shook his head and said: "I never threaten anyone, but I hope everyone who deals with me knows what they can and cannot do."
"Maybe I am nothing in your eyes, but there are too many people behind this matter. If you do something stupid and harm the interests of all of us, no one wants to see it.
Arrived."
"Tell me, you are a smart man, right?"
Brian's palm hidden under the car door handle clenched tightly into a fist, and then suddenly let go.
"I see."
After Brian finished speaking, he closed the car window directly.
Soros spread his hands and took two steps back, with a mysterious and meaningful smile on his face.
The Cadillac left slowly and glanced at Soros, who was left behind. Brian's face was ashen.
"Chairman, do you need us to spread the news?"
Brian's confidant turned around and asked.
Taking a deep breath, Brian said coldly: "Didn't you hear what he just said? Do you want me and you to die?"
The confidant said in disbelief: "You are the chairman of Mobil Group, how dare you?"
"He doesn't dare, but there are many people who dare. In the eyes of those people, I'm nothing!"
Brian's face was ashen and he said: "Go back, go home, write a report for me, say that there is something wrong with my physical condition and I need to recuperate for half a month, and then arrange a flight for me and my family to go to the Alps."
Since I can’t take care of the plane, I won’t take care of it.”
"I understand, Chairman, I will take care of it immediately...but, the group's affairs?"
Brian sneered: "Group President Diesel is their loyal lackey, he will take care of everything."
…
Gangcheng, a wealthy area in Mid-Levels.
In the villa where the Li family was located, Li Kai pushed the door open and entered the study.
In this home, only two people could enter the study room dedicated to Li Bancheng without knocking. One was Li Bancheng himself, and the other was Li Kai as his successor.
None of the other brothers and sisters, not even Li Kai's, have such qualifications.
"Coming."
Li Bancheng, who was reading the document, raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Kai, and said softly.
"Father, tonight's dinner went well. After you left, I sent all the wealthy businessmen home, but they never made any promises."
Li Kai sat across from Li Bancheng and said.
Li Bancheng smiled, took off his glasses and said, "This is normal, but even if they don't say it, they have proven their position with actual actions, and that is enough."
"Just now, I received a call from the United States. It has been successful. All we have to do is wait for the news to be announced tomorrow."
Li Kai pondered slightly and said, "Is it really okay for us to do this?"
"There is a problem, and it will be a lot of trouble." Li Bancheng answered directly.
"That……"
Seeing his son's hesitation, Li Bancheng said gently: "To do business, you must do business in the east of the city or in the south of the city. Many times we cannot do business on both sides at the same time. There are issues of strength, and there are also issues between the east and the south of the city.
It’s a problem that the two sides in the south of the city don’t like each other.”
"But aren't we just living on the wall?" Li Kai asked reluctantly.
"We are just the wallflowers, but what happened to the wallflowers?"
Li Bancheng didn't care and said directly: "It's not easy to do business in the east of the city, so we'll go to the south of the city. If it's not easy to do business in the south of the city, we'll go to the east of the city. Businessmen do business not based on feelings, but based on profits.
.”
"But father, you said before that we want to focus on investing in the mainland market..." Li Kai was still hesitant.
"In the Mainland, it is more realistic than businessmen."
Li Bancheng's eyes shone with wisdom, and he said: "The mainland needs investment, and it needs Hong Kong businessmen and overseas Chinese like us to bring back dollars from outside to stimulate the mainland economy."
"Under this general premise, if we do what we want to do, the mainland won't care too much."
While speaking, Li Bancheng walked around to Li Kai, patted his shoulder and said: "A Kai, you are the successor I trained. Among my several sons, you have always been the one I am most satisfied with. You are very similar in every aspect."
I."
"But one thing is, you have never been poor. You have never experienced dragging people along at the train station just to sell plastic flowers for a profit of 5 cents, and being looked down upon. You have to sell them for a day, scream until your throat is smoking, but have no money to eat.
I can only eat steamed buns or even go hungry."
"So you're not ruthless enough. You can't do our job without being ruthless."
"The mainland needs us to boost the economy. We can also make money, and it's a lot of money. Why don't we go?"
"Why doesn't the mainland welcome us?"
"In the final analysis, we have enough strength. We have enough chips to play with the dealer at any card table. Without enough chips, of course we can't do such a thing, but now..."
"We are capable, and we are doing it with great fanfare. Who can do anything to us?"
Li Kai nodded slowly and said, "I understand, father."
