Chapter 343 The Crisis Is Imminent

A group of people came to Li's Club. Brother Zhao Dong did not have a membership card, but Liu Chengbing all had membership cards here and entered smoothly.

"It's really luxurious!"

As soon as Zhao Dacheng entered the club door, he started to sigh.

"It's not luxury, it's extravagance. This is sugar-coated bullets that corrode people's hearts!" Zhao Dong said slowly and authentically.

He glanced at several curvaceous beauties in cheongsam. The slits were slit up to their waists. The scenery exposed when they twisted and stepped forward was full of temptation.

Liu Chengbing, who was walking next to Zhao Dong, was actually very surprised. He was surprised by Zhao Dong's attitude towards the West that he revealed intentionally or unintentionally today.

His path has been arranged by his family. He will not go out when he comes back this time. He has completed his MBA in the UK and will enter politics next.

With a master's degree, once they enter the system, they will at least start at the deputy director level. With their family's background, they should go one step higher and start directly at the director level.

His whereabouts have been arranged. He will go to the Planning and Reform Commission to hone his qualifications, and then go to another place for experience.

If you want to develop widely in the future, you must go to the local level and cannot stay in the ministry. Only by serving as a senior official in the local area can you finally have the opportunity to join the central government.

His family has great expectations for him, and he is also building a network of contacts, and Zhao Dong is the network he wants to develop now.

But he was surprised today. He didn't quite understand why Zhao Dong, who had lived and worked in the United States for several years, was so repulsive to the West. Shouldn't he be closer to the West?

Today, Zhuzhu and these guys were a little too pandering to Zhao Dong. They self-righteously said some things that Zhao Dong liked to hear, but they didn't know that on the contrary, they flattered the horse's legs.

At this time, a group of people hurriedly walked out of the club. One of them, a middle-aged man in a suit, saw Liu Chengbing and others and quickly greeted: "Young Master Chen, Young Master Lin, I'm sorry, I'm going to pick us up." Young Master, come back later to accomplice me."

"Please." Liu Chengbing nodded.

"He is the manager here, his surname is Chen, he is from Hong Kong City and a close confidant of the Li family. The second young master he is talking about should be Li Zekai." After those people walked over, Liu Chengbing said to Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong nodded carelessly, when hurried footsteps sounded from behind. He looked back and saw Li Zekai, the second son of Brother Cheng, walking in hastily.

Li Zekai was only thirty-three years old.

He was very young, accompanied by a few assistant-looking people and a group of bodyguards.

His eldest brother was kidnapped by Zhang Zhiqiang in 1996 and extorted one billion Hong Kong dollars. After that, he was inseparable from bodyguards. There were no such things before. No one likes to have a group of bodyguards around him all the time.

Zhao Dong laughed when he thought of the rich kidnapping cases that have occurred in Hong Kong City in recent years.

In 1990, Wang Defei was kidnapped, and then his ticket was torn up, and he ended up miserable.

But these rich people in Hong Kong City don’t have long memories. Then Zhang Ziqiang kidnapped the boss of the Li family in 1996 and extorted one billion from the Li family. The next year, he kidnapped Boss Guo and extorted 600 million. In 2007, Zheng Citai, a listed company in the Hong Kong city, was kidnapped in Shenzhen and was forced to vote. The ending was disastrous.

Thinking of these people, he himself smiled bitterly. Now he and Lindsay are bodyguards and cannot leave each other, even in Beijing.

In the United States, his bodyguards all carry guns and are equipped with body armor. They dare not be careless and there is nothing they can do about it if it is inconvenient.

Li Zekai had just arrived in Beijing, and he was standing in front of his father.

Not only is his father coming this time, but Li Zhaoji and Zheng Yutong are also coming. Now standing with him are Li Zhaoji's eldest son Li Jiajie and Zheng Yutong's eldest son Zheng Jiachun.

The reason why they are so anxious is because Tianlong Investment Bank just opened yesterday, and they received news in the evening that three small shareholders of Henderson Land Company sold their shares to Mrs. Lindsay.

Mrs. Lindsay and Storm Fund now own 24% of Henderson's shares combined, and are about to trigger tender offer restrictions.

There is no doubt that they judge that Lindsay is going to attack Ji Ge.

The Storm Fund also owns 8% of Yangtze River and 7% of New World.

This news frightened Brother Ji, Brother Cheng and Brother Yu were also frightened, so they hurriedly contacted Beijing and they would come tomorrow.

"Second Young Master, Young Master Li, Young Master Zheng, please come this way." Manager Chen of the club walked to one side to lead the way.

The three young masters felt heavy in their hearts. Li Zekai asked, "Has the person I made an appointment arrived?"

"Second Young Master, no one has arrived yet." Manager Chen replied immediately.

"Zekai?"

Li Jiajie next to him suddenly grabbed Li Zekai and pointed to Zhao Dong.

"Zhao Dong?"

Li Zekai glanced over and immediately recognized the world's super sports star Zhao Dong.

The three of them were so excited that they immediately looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"Mr. Zhao, nice to meet you."

Li Zekai immediately walked towards Zhao Dong, stretching out his hands from a distance, very enthusiastically.

"Mr. Li is so free, are you in the mood to come to Beijing to play? The port city is very lively these days, why don't you take a look?" Zhao Dong stretched out his right hand with a smile, shook the other person's fingertips and let go.

Li Zekai's face was a little stiff and he retracted his hands in a dignified manner.

"Mr. Zhao, can we talk?" Li Jiajie asked urgently.

"Lindsay is in Hong Kong City, but you come to Beijing. Everyone knows what you want to do. Each of you can do it according to your own abilities."

Zhao Dong's tone became colder. After saying this, he called Zhao Dacheng and Liu Chengbing and said, "Let's go. This is not a suitable place for tea tonight."

"Let's go."

Liu Chengbing motioned to Zhuzhu and others to follow.

"Mr. Zhao?"

Li Jiajie looked at Zhao Dong leaving and hurriedly shouted from behind: "My father has no other purpose in coming to Beijing this time. He is just seeking cooperation."

However, Zhao Dong ignored him and walked straight out of the club door.

"Don't worry, Jiajie, Hong Kong City is very important to Beijing. The three of us still have a great influence on Beijing. Under the above system, now I only hope that Zhao Dong has enough influence on Lindsay. If he is really a foodie If you are a softie, it will be really bad this time." Li Zekai said.

"I hope you two still have time. Our family is in urgent need. Maybe Mrs. Lindsay will issue a tender offer order tomorrow." Li Jiajie said anxiously.

"Brother, is my sister-in-law still doing something over there?" Zhao Dacheng asked in a low voice after leaving the club.

"She's just bored!" Zhao Dong said with a smile.

Liu Chengbing and others who were following behind felt chilly and were bored, so why not attack the four major real estate families over there?

At this time, Zhao Dong's cell phone rang. It was his father, Zhao Zhenguo, asking him to go back.

At half past eight, Brother Zhao Dong returned to the courtyard.

Zhao Zhenguo immediately called Zhao Dong into his study, closed the door and asked, "What plans does Weiwei have over there?"

Zhao Dong explained Lindsay's plan, and Zhao Zhenguo's face turned dark. His little daughter-in-law was too capable of causing trouble, wasn't she?

"We just met at Li's Club..." Zhao Dong said.

Zhao Zhenguo pondered for a moment and said: "Their elders will arrive tomorrow. On the surface they are talking about investment, but secretly their purpose is to seek help and suppress you from above."

Zhao Dong said disdainfully: "How to suppress it? Even if you are removed from your post, it cannot be suppressed. The plan is imperative."

Zhao Zhenguo pointed at Zhao Dong angrily and cursed angrily: "The four of them have too much influence in all aspects over there. You knock down two of them in a row, don't affect the stability."

"Business behavior is beyond reproach. You see, the Guo family still has a lot of assets and still has a lot of influence there, but do they dare to jump? As long as the Guo family dares to jump, we can continue to punish them. No one can stop us, and what we do does not violate any laws." Zhao Dong said disdainfully.

"If you mess up the place, aren't you afraid that the top will not support Tianlong Investment Bank?" Zhao Zhenguo said angrily.

"Unless it's crazy up there."

Zhao Dong said coldly: "Am I setting up Tianlong Investment Bank to make money for myself? The importance of Tianlong Investment Bank is far greater than that of a mere port city. I believe the higher-ups understand this."

Zhao Zhenguo said angrily: "If you overthrow the second family, won't the next two also want to overthrow it?"

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Starting from next month, Storm's funds will be redeemed one after another. We have to run Tianlong with all our strength. I'm afraid we won't be able to take care of those two companies. Let's talk about it when we have the opportunity. Sooner or later, we will bring them down.

In fact, knocking down those four companies will have a great impact on us. If we replace them ourselves, we can control them from the economic level, isn't it good? "

"Let's go." At this time, Zhao Zhenguo stood up.

Zhao Dong said blankly: "You're not going to see Mr. Zhu again, are you?"

"It's just causing trouble. This time I'm meeting both No. 1 and No. 2. I just received the notice before you came back." Zhao Zhenguo glared at Zhao Dong.

While the father and son were still on the road, Zhao Dong received a call from Lindsay at 9:10, telling him that the US stock market had been affected by the interest rate cut and had stabilized after opening, but the trading volume was very large and funds were fleeing.

"Honey, I'm going to post another article about the bear market..." Lindsay said.

"No, forget it, Avril, don't offend Wall Street too much, let them run away, we will have to live in the United States for a long time in the future."

Zhao Dong quickly advised.

"That's okay, anyway, we have to recruit some funds from Wall Street, so this time it will be easier for them. But they can only run part of it. It is impossible to cash out all the money like us." Lindsay said .

After this trip, Zhao Dong and his son did not leave Red Wall until the next morning.

After talking about it all night, the superiors promised Zhao Dong that they would not care about his affairs there, but they would not affect the overall situation of Tianlong, nor cause major chaos in Hong Kong City.

When they come out, a huge investment group organized by the three wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong will land in Beijing and will be received by Mr. Zhu personally.

"There is a lot of pressure from above. On the surface, they must support and appease them. It's up to you. This matter cannot be delayed for too long."

After coming out, Zhao Zhenguo immediately said to Zhao Dong.

"Aiweier, those three companies have arrived in Beijing. You should act quickly." Zhao Dong called Lindsay immediately.

"I know, husband."

Lin Ma understood immediately.

"Sweep the goods with all your strength! Announce the tender offer as soon as possible." Then, she issued the order.

Beijing, Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is closed to the public today.

At noon, Mr. Zhu will meet with the Hong Kong investment group headed by three wealthy businessmen in Building 7, and will host them with a state banquet. The meeting time is 11:30, and the state banquet will start one hour after the meeting.

At 11:20 a.m. on the 22nd, an investment group of more than 20 people headed by Cheng Ge Ji Ge Tong Ge came to Building 7.

At this time, the staff around Mr. Zhu reported the news that just five minutes ago, Storm Fund issued a tender offer for New World Real Estate Company.

"You move very quickly!" Mr. Zhu smiled.

From Lindsay, he had a deeper understanding of financial capital operations. At the same time, he was also observing Lindsay. Although Lindsay was not a pure Chinese, under the influence of Zhao Dong, he already had a Chinese heart. That's good.

There are currently no high-level financial talents in the country. Lindsay will play a very important role in establishing his country's financial market and system. The only pity is that he is too young.

The subsequent interview was held in a cordial and warm atmosphere.

The three Cheng brothers made some investment commitments and received some promises, but the purpose of their trip and their most desired request was to have the superiors suppress Zhao Dong, thereby affecting Lindsay and Storm's plans in Hong Kong, but they did not receive any. In reply, Mr. Zhu avoided the question, which disappointed the three of them.

At the subsequent state banquet, the three people directly proposed the plan to ask the superiors to intervene in the storm in Hong Kong. The previous plan was more obscure and Mr. Zhu could avoid it. But this time it was proposed so formally, he could not avoid it.

"I know Mrs. Lindsay. She is a Wall Street giant and the iron lady of the world's financial community. Her financial operation style is extremely tough and decisive, and she is full of courage.

I also think I can influence her, but is it possible? The funds controlled by others even exceed our foreign exchange reserves. We don’t have that influence! If we can influence the giants on Wall Street, do we still need to worry about money?

As for the Zhao Dong you mentioned, he is a playboy, that is, he is good at basketball, and he has little influence on Mrs. Lindsay. We have already established this. "

After Mr. Zhu deceived him, Brother Cheng and the other three had no choice but to become even more frightened.

At half past one, the state banquet ended and the three of them left.

"Dad..."

"how?"

When he walked out of Building 7, Brother Ji saw his eldest son Li Jiajie looking anxious.

"Before the market closed in the morning, Feng Feng issued a tender offer." Li Jiajie said in panic.

"What?"

Brother Ji was shocked when he heard this, and his feet staggered. If Li Jiajie hadn't helped him, he would have almost fallen down.

"Storm is so professional. Our traders are no match for us. A lot of chips were taken away and the stock price was knocked down by 10%."

Li Jiajie said very frustrated.

"go back."

After Brother Ji calmed down, he said to Brother Cheng Tong: "Brother Cheng Tong, if I fall again, Mrs. Lindsay will not let you go. We must join forces."

The expressions on the two men's faces were very serious, no better than Brother Ji's. They didn't doubt Brother Ji's words at all.

As businessmen, they are well aware of the greed of businessmen and the blood-sucking nature of capital, but they also know better that financial capital is the leader among them. If businessmen like them drink human blood, then financial capital is the one who drinks human blood. The flesh-and-blood devourers, and they devour businessmen like them.

Businessmen like them, no matter how successful they are, are just pieces of fat in the eyes of top financial capital like Mrs. Lindsay.

Not to mention them, in the eyes of Soros and his gang, even individual countries are just fat meat that they can slaughter at any time.

As powerful as the United Kingdom, but Soros took action as soon as he said it, blocking the British pound's actions, causing huge losses to the United Kingdom.

South Korea, Japan, Russia, Southeast Asia, and Hong Kong cities, which one is not a victim of financial capital attacks?

An Asian financial crisis has ruined decades of efforts by Southeast Asian countries, Japan and South Korea. This is the destructive and greedy nature of financial capital.

Mrs. Lindsay's actions are too fast now. She only used the funds from the storm, and the international hot money has no time to react. If it drags on, once a large amount of international hot money participates, let alone the three of them, the entire Hong Kong City will repeat what happened last year and the year before. One scene.

"Zhenguo, tell your old son and his wife to move quickly. If it attracts international hot money and damages the economy of Hong Kong City, I will ask Zhao Dong. Remember, we must not let the Asian financial crisis occur in Hong Kong City. That scene must never be repeated."

At this time, Zhao Zhenguo received a call from Mr. Zhu.

"clear."

Zhao Zhenguo Road.

He then called Zhao Dong and said in a serious tone: "The economy there cannot collapse, and it cannot affect the whole of Hong Kong. We cannot let the West think that the economy will not be able to survive once the Hong Kong City is in our hands. Do you understand? In addition, those three families are likely to join forces, so please be careful Weiwei, they are three old foxes."

"Don't worry, Dad, it will be very fast. Our financial advantage is too great. We will solve the New World before they join forces." Zhao Dong promised.

At six o'clock in the afternoon on the 22nd, the three of them arrived at Kai Tak Airport.

Ji Ge's face was very bad. When the market closed in the afternoon, Henderson shares were hit by the storm to 55 yuan, a drop of 15 yuan in one day. However, 3% of the chips in his hand were taken away.

He owns 51% of Henderson shares to counter the storm's chip advantage in the circulation market, so he let his chips enter the market as soon as the market opened today.

But Feng Feng's trading skills were so strong that not only the stock price was knocked down, but also the chips were robbed.

Now he only holds 48% of the shares. Although he is still the largest shareholder, he has lost his controlling stake.

If this continues, it will only take a few days for his core assets to be snatched away by the storm.

"Immediately arrange for someone to go to Wall Street and spend a lot of money to find the best trader." He said to Li Jiajie.

Brother Ji and the other three did not go home, but took people directly to Brother Cheng's private club to continue discussing matters.

"This time the storm's methods are more brutal. They relied on their financial advantages and trading skills to deal with the Guo family. They also used some shameful tactics. I think the storm is in a hurry, and our trip is still effective. Brother Tong said.

"The north will not tolerate chaos here. This is a place we can take advantage of. If it doesn't work, just let chaos break out here. The north will not have an easy time. International public opinion will be huge."

Brother Cheng is wily and scheming.

Brother Ji shook his head secretly. Brother Cheng made sense, but the situation was different now.

If there is time, they can join forces and use their influence to create a storm here, but that is only if there is time. It will take at least a few months to prepare. Do you have a few months to give them now? ?

No, Mrs. Lindsay's movements were so fast that she didn't even give them time to react. The Guo family collapsed in three days. How many days can his Li family hold up?

"What about tomorrow?"

Brother Ji directly raised the issue that needs to be faced most now.

Brother Cheng and Brother Tong looked at each other. The former pondered for a moment and then said: "Brother Ji, I will give you 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. You can support me first."

"I'll take 10 billion, too," Brother Tong said.

"Thank you very much. We share weal and woe."

Brother Ji nodded. He had mortgaged some non-core assets and borrowed 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. Adding his own working capital, it was 40 billion. Adding this 20 billion, the total was 60 billion.

Henderson's market capitalization is HK$130 billion. It has fallen by 20% today. There is still about 100 billion left. Throw in 60 billion. If the storm wants to grab chips or suppress the stock price, it will cost even more.

Lindsay is currently counting the funds in hand.

She had to guard against a three-family alliance, so she had to count this time's opponent as a three-family alliance.

Once the three companies use their funds together, the storm's financial advantage will be severely limited in the too narrow Henderson stock.

Now the total amount is only 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the chips are too concentrated. No matter how much funds are used, it will be useless.

Therefore, she wants to open up a second battlefield, or even a third battlefield. She wants to divide the funds of the three companies and make a quick decision.

Even if three battlefields are opened, Storm plus her and Zhao Dong's funds will reach nearly 150 billion U.S. dollars, which is enough. If Brother Cheng and Brother Tong don't protect themselves, then they will take care of them three times and defeat them one by one. Three families were wiped out in one fell swoop.

"Miss Meilin..."

After thinking about it, she shouted softly.

"Yes, ma'am."

Meilin, who was sitting quietly on the sofa next to her, immediately stood up and replied.

"Notify Feng Feng that when the market opens tomorrow, we will start buying goods from Yangtze River and New World. We must make a loud noise and announce the news off the court that we want to acquire these two companies."

Lindsay said softly.

Meilin was startled, but quickly nodded and said: "I understand, madam, I will notify Feng immediately."

Lindsay nodded, got up and walked to the bedroom.
