Chapter 331 Goodbye Lin Yuan
"Hahaha, I'm rich!"

"Jardine Matheson is really generous. They directly lowered the price to 100 yuan."

In an office in a building in Sai Wan, Hong Kong Island, an employee saw the news in the newspaper and immediately shouted with a smile on his face.

"Wow, Ah Le, I remember you held shares in Wharf Holdings?"

"Yes, he bought 500 shares at the time and invested all his bonus and salary into it."

"At 100 yuan per share, wouldn't 500 shares be worth 50,000 Hong Kong dollars now?"

"Ale has made a fortune!"

The colleagues around him all showed envious looks at this moment. This time, Ah Le made at least more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

This is their annual salary.

"Don't worry, everyone. I will definitely treat you to a meal after I exchange the stocks!"

“It’s better to have fun alone than to have fun together!”

"Let me take the stocks to exchange first."

"Akai, when the manager comes, he will tell me that I am out meeting a client."

A Le spoke to his colleagues generously, then stood up and walked out.

As for whether his colleagues would help him keep it secret, Ale didn't care at all.

At worst, he can just quit his job. With 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, he can trade stocks full-time. By then, any increase in the price will earn more than his salary.

After going downstairs, Ale couldn't help whistling.

Looking back, when he bought Wharf Holdings shares, everyone in the company laughed at him and called him a fool.

After all, he was just following the trend at that time and was fooled by the stock market. He thought that Li Jiacheng was buying and he would definitely make a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, a group of people followed the trend and bought at the high price, and Li Ka-shing was forced to sell his Wharf shares.

However, who could have imagined that Hutchison Whampoa was later sold by Li Ka-shing to the ship chartering king, and the price continued to rise, from fifty to seventy.

His colleagues at the company advised him to sell it, but Ale kept it because he believed that Jardine Matheson and the shipping king would definitely continue to compete.

Sure enough, now the wait has come.

Jardine Matheson's bid directly doubled his profits.

"Hey, taxi!"

When he got to the roadside, Ale hailed a taxi. He used to take the bus, but today he made some money.

“Go to Temple Street!”

After getting in the car, A Le told the driver his address. His stock certificates were all at home, so he had to go and get the stock certificates before he could redeem them.

"Dear shareholders, please trust Bao Sheng and wait for one day!"

"Dear shareholders, please trust Bao Sheng and wait for one day!"

The taxi just stopped at a traffic light, and then Ale heard someone outside shouting loudly with a loud speaker.

A Le opened the window and saw a truck at the intersection. Someone was standing on the truck, shouting loudly with a loud speaker.

"This is."

Ah Le was a little stunned. When the traffic light changed, the car slowly drove away, but the person inside was still shouting with a loud speaker, and Ah Le could hear it from a long distance away.

"It seems that the shipping tycoon Bao Sheng is competing with Jardine Matheson for shares. Jardine Matheson has made an advertisement, and Bao Sheng's people are now driving cars and shouting with loud speakers on the streets of Central and Kowloon."

"It's so noisy!"

The taxi driver shook his head helplessly and complained to Ale.

Ah Le just stood there in a daze at this moment.

Yes, Bao Sheng is competing with Yihe. Yihe has made an offer, but Bao Sheng has not yet made one.

Would you like to wait a moment?
Ah Le began to feel conflicted at this moment.

If Bao Sheng competes with Jardine Matheson for stocks, the price he offers will definitely not be lower than Jardine Matheson. Even if it is a few dollars more expensive, it will still be a profit of several thousand dollars for him, Ale.

But he was also worried that if he went too late, Jardine Matheson would have bought all the stocks in advance, and his stocks would not be sold and would rot in his hands.

Along the way, Ah Lok was hesitant until he arrived at the entrance of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel.

At this moment, a huge banner has been hung at the intersection.

"Believe me, I will give birth to you. Please wait for one day!"

The operating rights of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel are in the hands of Pao Yu-kong, so hanging a banner is a piece of cake for them.

At present, there is only one road between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel. The future Eastern District Tunnel and Western District Tunnel have not yet been built.

"Bao Sheng really put in a lot of effort. Banners were even hung in the Hung Hom Tunnel."

The taxi driver couldn't help but sigh.

When Ah Le heard this, he made a decision in his heart.

"Turn around, don't go to Temple Street, go back to where we were just now."

Yes, Mr. Bao values ​​Hutchison Whampoa so much that he will definitely compete with Jardine Matheson for it.

By then, the price of guaranteed birth will definitely not be lower than that of Jardine Matheson, and the conditions will only be better.

At worst, I can wait a day.

Wealth can be found in danger.

Ah Lok made up his mind, and ignored the driver's doubts. After arriving in Kowloon, he turned around and went back to Sai Wan.

This time, he bet on the shipping king!

Jardine Matheson Headquarters, Connaught Building.

Newby stood confidently in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the Victoria Harbour in the distance and Kowloon across the sea.

He carefully planned this game and chose today just to catch Yu Gang off guard.

Even if Bao Yu just got the news and rushed back, so what?

He has to come up with enough funds and chips to fight against Jardine Matheson.

In this wave, Newbijian raised the price of Hutchison Whampoa's shares to 100 yuan in one go. It was not a mindless rush, but a deliberate attempt to create difficulties for Bao Yugang.

At one hundred dollars per share, Bao Yugang wanted to control 49% of Wharf Holdings Limited's shares, so he had to buy at least another 20 million shares, and the total amount would be no less than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Although he is rich, Newbyjian doesn't believe that he can come up with 2 billion. Even if he goes to the bank for a loan, there are not many banks that dare to lend him so much.

Jardine Matheson can exchange it with shares in Hutchison Whampoa, but he can't exchange it with shares in Global Shipping.

Global Shipping is a private company and its shares cannot be traded publicly. Newbijian doesn't believe that Bao Yugang is willing to exchange his shares in Global Shipping.

Therefore, if Bao Yugang wants to win, the most direct way is to spend money!
However, by the time he raised 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, Jardine Matheson had already exchanged enough shares.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and then someone pushed the door open and walked in.

"Big Class"

"Dick, what's going on?"

Newbijian turned around, looked at his assistant, and asked with a smile.

"Boss, our stock acquisition is going very smoothly. So far, we have acquired 2.7 million shares."

“A lot of exchanges are selling us shares.”

"I told you, the price of one hundred yuan is a great temptation for them. We should increase our acquisition efforts and strive to get the shares of Wharf 49 before Bao Yugang returns."

Newbijian said seriously.

"Yes, Tai-pan!"

"Another thing is that the Bao family sent dozens of cars with loud speakers to shout on the main roads in Kowloon and Central, as well as in front of the four major exchanges."

Dick hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Newby the following matter.

"Oh? What are you shouting for?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Bijian's smile faded slightly and he asked seriously.

"Let the stockholders wait a while and trust Bao Yugang!"

Dick said helplessly at this moment.

"You mean, those people were driving around with loud speakers shouting like that on the streets?"

Newbijian asked Dick with a frown.

Dick nodded. "Yes, they even hung a banner in the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, urging shareholders to wait for a day."

Niu Bijian frowned slightly when he heard this. The Bao family reacted so quickly?

And this method, driving on the street and shouting with a loud speaker?

“Call the police station immediately, file a complaint against these vehicles, and have the police remove them.”

Newbijian spoke decisively to Dick at this moment.

"Big class, this?"

"The Bao family shouldn't have reacted so quickly. It seems like they were prepared in advance."

"They are stalling for time. The words shouted through the loudspeakers can easily make shareholders hesitate, because everyone knows that Bao Yugang will definitely compete with us."

"Once this knowledge spreads, the time we have gained will be wasted."

"Immediately, go to the police station and file a complaint against these vehicles, saying they are making noise, and ask them to speed up the acquisition."

Newbijian gave Dick orders without hesitation.

"Yes, Tai-pan!"

Dick ran out quickly, and Newbijian stood in front of the window at this moment, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

The Bao family's quick reaction speed and unexpected response method gave Niu Bijian an ominous premonition.

The other party's reaction was too quick. This is not normal.

But now, nothing can be done.

One hundred yuan per share is both an obstacle for Bao Yugang and the limit for Jardine Matheson.

If the price goes any higher, Jardine Matheson will not be able to afford it.

Now, we just hope that Jardine Matheson can acquire enough shares earlier than Bao.

On the other side, the headquarters of Global Shipping.

Wu Guangzheng was also walking around the office restlessly.

The method Li Changhe taught him was to use a truck with a loud speaker to spread the information.

Although this method is very low-level, it has one advantage, which is that it can be used to respond to Jardine Matheson’s propaganda offensive at any time.

After all, the convoy just needs to wait there and send people out at any time to shout around Hong Kong Island.

Most of the shareholders who hold Wharf Holdings shares live and work in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.

In terms of area, it is actually not that big. The shouting of dozens of cars going back and forth is enough to let many people know about it.

Most importantly, this kind of gossip can spread easily, for example, among taxi drivers.

It is actually enough to spread Bao’s attitude through their mouths.

Wu Guangzheng is now waiting for people to come back and give feedback on the results.

"Boss Wu, it's done!"

"It's done!"

At this moment, someone ran quickly to Wu Guangzheng's office and broke in without knocking on the door.

"How about it?"

Wu Guangzheng heard what the other party said and asked anxiously.

"It works, Mr. Wu!"

"Our people went to the point where Jardine Matheson bought shares and watched. The number of people who went later was obviously less than the number of people who went at the beginning. The number of shareholders who went to Jardine Matheson to exchange shares has dropped significantly."

“This shows that the stockholders heard our call and hesitated!”

While Wu Guangzheng sent people to make the announcement, he also sent people to keep an eye on Jardine Matheson's purchasing points and observe changes in their number of people.

Although the number of stocks held by retail investors varies, the number of people is always an indicator.

Wu Guangzheng felt relieved when he heard that fewer people were going there.

"It worked. The investors listened to it. Ayang's method is indeed effective."

"Next, we just have to wait for Dad to come back!"

Wu Guangzheng let out a breath at this moment and thought secretly in his heart.

On the other side, Li Changhe, who was driving to Central, heard the sounds of the loud speakers in the trucks nearby and smiled slightly.

The method is a bit low-level, but it is effective!

In later generations, those floats that paraded through the streets, with loud speakers shouting throughout the entire process, had a very good effect in the local area.

Li Changhe has now just copied it in Hong Kong Island, and it is enough to let the news spread.

After all, the purchasing points set by Jardine Matheson are fixed, and loudspeakers are shouting back and forth around the purchasing points.

Even if investors who go to Jardine Matheson to exchange stocks are not affected at first, they will become hesitant after hearing it many times. This is called brainwashing.

It doesn’t matter even if the other person is driving or riding in a car, after all, few cars nowadays have soundproof glass.

Driving slowly, Li Changhe arrived at the junction of Central and Western District and came to the bottom of a building.

This is not some other place, it is the address that Lin Yuan left for him.

Now the battle for Hutchison Whampoa has begun, and the next step is for him to seize Hutchison Whampoa.

Once he acquires Swire Properties, it will also mean that Bao Zeyang will officially enter the business stage of Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, it is time for his security team to take action.

A child of a wealthy family must have the demeanor of a child of an aristocratic family. What kind of child of a wealthy family is he without a team of bodyguards?

"Hello, sir, who are you looking for?"

Li Changhe walked in and was stopped by the front desk.

"Hello, I'm looking for Michael Lin. Just tell him that Victor is here to visit me and I'm his good friend in the United States."

Li Changhe said to the front desk with a smile.

"Okay, wait a minute."

The girl at the front desk quickly made the call, and a moment later, Lin Yuan walked out of the elevator.

"Hello, Victor!"

At this time, Lin Yuan strode over and gave Li Changhe an exaggerated American hug.

Li Changhe hugged him, and then at Lin Yuan's enthusiastic invitation, he entered the elevator.

Soon, two people came to Lin Yuan's office.

After entering the office, Lin Yuan smiled.

"I thought you would come to me soon, but I didn't expect you to take so long."

"My identity has not been officially disclosed yet, so it is not appropriate for us to have more contact."

Hearing Li Changhe's words, Lin Yuan nodded.

"understand!"

"You came to me this time because of those people, right?"

"Yes, it's time for me to make my debut. I need to have a few trusted people around me."

Li Changhe shook his head helplessly.

"I know, I have already arranged it."

“Here’s their address.”

Lin Yuan quickly took out an address and handed it to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe took it and looked at it, frowning slightly.

"You asked them to join Hutchison?"

The address Lin Yuan gave was that of a boxing gym. Boxing gyms in Hong Kong Island are basically all related to social societies. This boxing gym with the word “和” in its name is obviously Hutchison’s boxing gym.

"I didn't ask them to add it. They added it themselves."

"This was Leng Fei's idea. Leng Fei was the one sent by the higher-ups."

"In his words, the identity of a South Vietnamese refugee alone can't prove anything. The best way is to use this identity to make a name for yourself here, so that when people check, it can be confirmed to be true."

"So after I arranged identities for them, they became famous in the local area, and now they are waiting for you to recruit them."

"it is good!"

Li Changhe nodded, then picked up the address and walked out.
