Chapter 384 First Meeting with Shen Bi
"Let's eat first, and we'll talk somewhere else later!"
Li Changhe did not speak in a hurry, but said with a smile.
It's not appropriate to talk about that matter in public like this.
With Li Changhe's assurance, Lin Yuan no longer had any interest in eating.
After eating in a hurry, he was about to pull Li Changhe away.
"Amin, it's time to pay the bill!"
Li Changhe originally wanted to eat for a while longer, but seeing this boy so anxious, he couldn't help but shook his head and asked Zhou Huimin to pay the bill.
"The total is one hundred and twenty-three dollars, sir, just give me one hundred and twenty!"
Classmate Xiao Zhou came over, holding a small notebook and calculating.
"Forget it, if you want to save three bucks, be careful or your boss will scold you!"
Li Changhe did not take advantage of the three dollars, after all, this store was not theirs.
"Then I'll give you two cans of soda. The boss allows this. It's available to regular customers."
Zhou Huimin took the money with a smile, and then went to get two cans of soda for Li Changhe and the others.
"As expected, people still rely on their looks to make a living. I've been coming here every few days, but they didn't even offer me a can of soda."
After leaving the door, Lin Yuan said with some jealousy.
He is considered an old customer of this restaurant, at least he has come here to eat many times recently.
"There's nothing I can do about it. This is God's gift."
"Let's go!"
"Take my car and we'll talk in the car!"
Lin Yuan said with a smile.
Li Changhe nodded, then got into Lin Yuan's car, while Ah Hu drove Li Changhe's car and followed behind.
After getting in the car, Lin Yuan drove while curiously asking Li Changhe: "Now you can tell me, what industry are you in?"
"Let me ask you first, do you hold a public office in the country?"
Li Changhe asked with a smile at this time.
"Public office?"
"No!"
"People like us who don't hold any public office won't have any files. After all, the best way to hide is not to hide at all."
"My brothers and sisters have already made arrangements at home. I'm too useless to work properly, so this is the only way."
"Why, you have a public office and can't do it?"
"That's right, this is not a serious business!"
Li Changhe shook his head and said softly.
Lin Yuan was thoughtful after hearing this.
"A person who makes money through illegal means?"
"Let's talk about it when we get there."
Li Changhe didn't say it directly until he arrived at Lin Yuan's villa in Taiping Mountain.
"You actually live in Taipingshan?"
It was the first time that Li Changhe came to his residence. He never thought that he actually lived in Taiping Mountain.
"What else can I do? With my status, am I supposed to live in Kowloon? In Hong Kong Island, if I want to show my status, I can only live in Victoria Peak."
Lin Yuan said with a smile at this time.
Yes, he wanted to show off his status as a rich young man, and the best way to do that was to live in the top area of Hong Kong Island. The Peak represented his status.
When I arrived at Lin Yuan's study, Lin Yuan closed the door.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"You won't let me engage in smuggling, will you?"
Li Changhe shook his head: "It's not smuggling. I'm talking about making money in a side business. I'm not talking about doing it in China. I'm talking about doing it in the other side."
"Aoyu!"
Hearing Li Changhe's words, Lin Yuan was slightly stunned, and then looked at him in surprise: "You mean, the casino?"
"Yes, I am now confident that I can take down Macau Entertainment!"
"That's a huge pool of cash, but if you have a public office, you can't do it."
"There's one more thing. You need to ask your side if they are willing to do it!"
Li Changhe spoke slowly.
Lin Yuan sat there and began to think.
Pornography, gambling and drugs are industries that are not openly allowed by the country, so it is no wonder that Li Changhe expressed it so tactfully.
"Are you targeting Macau Entertainment?"
At this time, Lin Yuan asked Li Changhe in surprise.
Li Changhe shook his head: "No, in fact, if you don't come to me, I don't have any intention of targeting Macau Entertainment!"
"This thing is a hot potato for everyone!"
"But it is undeniable that it makes money quickly and is a huge cash pool."
Li Changhe is confident that he can take over STDM, but to be honest, he doesn't want to make a move for the time being.
Again, Macau Entertainment cannot be put on the table and cannot be presented to the country.
But you can't deny that it makes money too quickly and too much.
Of course, money is not important to Li Changhe. What Li Changhe values is actually its other function, but this cannot be done in a short time.
"Are you sure?"
Lin Yuan put away the cynical smile on his face at this moment, and then asked seriously.
"About 60-70%. Actually, we don't need to acquire the entire company. We only need to acquire a portion of the shares. The majority shareholder of STDM is the Fok family. You know Mr. Fok. He has always been interested in China."
"We only need to control a portion of the shares, and then join hands with the Huo family to control STDM."
Li Changhe also spoke to Lin Yuan seriously.
At this moment, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's done!"
"I'll take care of this, you pay, and we'll do it together!"
"You don't want to ask?"
Li Changhe looked at Lin Yuan in surprise. This was a side way to make money.
"ask?"
"I'm telling you, if you ask, I will definitely not agree, no matter which side it is!"
"Because this is an attitude problem, neither the higher-ups nor my family will allow us to get involved in this."
"But as I said before, there are some things that can be said but not done! And there are some things that can be done but not said!"
"So you can't ask about this, only we can do it!"
"Actually, I can do it myself, but that would be too conspicuous, and didn't we agree to have a business relationship to show it to outsiders?"
"I think this is just the right thing to do!"
"I am a rich man in China. I am looking for you to raise funds and invest in STDM. Now that we have legitimate interests involved, it will be appropriate for us to do other things."
"The most important thing is that if you engage in Macau Entertainment, many labels on you will be washed away. After all, everyone knows that once you get involved in this, the two of us will never be able to become official figures of the country."
"All political suspicions will be erased by this company, because China is not like Europe and the United States. People like us are considered to have stains."
"What is this called in history?"
"Self-defilement, huh?"
"Of course, the premise is that you don't plan to continue to be a politician. If you still want to be a politician, then you can't touch this thing!"
Lin Yuan spoke seriously to Li Changhe at this time.
Li Changhe shook his head upon hearing this.
"My path to politics has long been cut off!"
"Then do it. I'll take the lead and you'll be the one behind the scenes. Let's do it!"
"Yes, that's right. People like me are not suitable for doing business openly and honestly. I should work with others to make money in illegal ways!"
"That's more in line with my status as a dandy."
"Your cooperation with me can be regarded as an example to those people in Europe and America, so that they know how to cooperate with me!" "Now they don't trust me very much. I think with Macau Entertainment, my credibility will be greater!"
Lin Yuan said with a smile at this time.
In fact, when it comes to political vision, he is no worse than Li Changhe.
"Tell me, what should we do?"
"I think Stanley Ho is in charge of STDM right now. What do you plan to do?"
Lin Yuan asked seriously. He didn’t know much about STDM, but he had been there a few times and knew some information.
Li Changhe smiled, then shook his head: "It's not me, it's you!"
"I don't have time to talk about this. You should handle this matter."
"But I can tell you what to do!"
"First, you have to find a person in Hong Kong Island named Ye Han. He owns 10% of STDM's shares!"
"Who is Ye Han?"
Lin Yuan asked curiously.
"He is a master of gambling, and you could even say he is the gambling king. He is also the co-founder of STDM."
"But now, he and Stanley Ho have fallen out, and the two are at loggerheads. He can buy 10% of STDM's shares."
"But Ye Han won't sell his shares easily, so you have to cater to his preferences!"
"He is now in Hong Kong Island, running the Jockey Club, and wants to compete with Stanley Ho. Stanley Ho is also preparing for it."
"In fact, the best time is to wait until his horse race fails, and then go and talk to him. However, you have a special status now, so it doesn't matter if you talk to him."
At this time, Li Changhe seriously told Lin Yuan about the plan.
Hearing this, Lin Yuan shook his head.
"No, I can't discuss this. I don't know much about what I'm talking about. I'm afraid I can't discuss this with Ye Han."
"I have an idea, listen to it!"
"I will go find him first, then reveal my identity and use my power to put pressure on him!"
"But considering the situation you described, he is the king of gambling, so I'm afraid he is not too afraid of me. Then, I will pull you into the game, and you will be responsible for convincing him."
"When the time comes, I will take over his shares, how about that?"
Lin Yuan said seriously at this time.
Li Changhe smiled and said: "Not only will we take over his shares, but we will also cooperate with him!"
"Well, you come forward when the time comes and I'll talk to him."
Li Changhe felt that it would be difficult to reach an agreement with Ye Han if he only relied on Lin Yuan.
Especially the cooperation on gambling ships.
That’s right. What Li Changhe wanted was to tell Ye Han in advance how to play the high seas gambling ship in Ye Han’s previous life, and then exchange it for shares of STDM from him.
However, as for the gambling boat business, Li Changhe not only wanted Ye Han to do it, but also wanted Ye Han to make it bigger.
Only if he makes it big enough, in another ten years, he can openly build ships by taking advantage of the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
It's normal to have a few aircraft carriers and warships as gambling ships!
Of course, this plan cannot be discussed now.
"So, in essence, we are both after money, and this is our private cooperation."
Lin Yuan said with a smile at this time.
Li Changhe nodded: "Okay, happy cooperation!"
After parting with Lin Yuan, Li Changhe sat in the car, frowning slightly.
I originally wanted to give Lin Yuan a way out, but this way finally came back to me.
The situation on the part of Macau Entertainment is indeed not up to par.
But I have to say, it holds a very important position!
Putting aside cash flow, STDM is an economic pillar in Macau.
Most importantly, this company can also be a platform, a platform that radiates to the entire Southeast Asian underground forces.
Li Changhe originally wanted to hand over this platform to Lin Yuan, and through Lin Yuan, transfer part of the domestic power underground.
But Lin Yuan is obviously a self-aware man. He is willing to help Li Changhe cover it up in public, but he knows that he can't do it, so Li Changhe still has to do it.
Well, some things can be dealt with slowly after he returns from the United States.
Anyway, Lin Yuan’s problem of lack of money will be solved within two years. Once Poly Group is established, a large amount of arms will be dumped into Europe, America and the Middle East.
Poly, huge profits!
"Boss, you're back!"
"Mr. Bao called this morning and said there will be a banquet at Taiping at 7pm and asked you to attend!"
As soon as they returned to the office, Catherine came to report her itinerary. Li Changhe nodded: "I understand."
Obviously, Bao Yugang had already made an appointment with Shen Bi.
At night, Li Changhe tidied himself up, then returned to Deep Water Bay and took out the gift he had prepared for Shen Bi.
Bao Yugang had said before that Shen Bi liked watches, and he had a gold watch, so he asked Li Changhe to give it to Shen Bi as a gift.
Li Changhe originally planned to give only a gold watch, but after thinking about it, he designed a new gift.
A gold watch might suit Shen Bi's taste, but Li Changhe felt that it was not enough.
After all, this was the first time he and Shen Bi met.
After taking out the gift, Li Changhe came to Taiping Mountain again.
But this time it was not Lin Yuan’s place, but Shen Bi’s residence on the top of Taiping Mountain.
The houses of these foreigners are basically all on Mount Taiping.
From here you can overlook the whole Central and Victoria Harbour, high above.
"Ayang, here we come!"
In the reception room, after Li Changhe was led in by the housekeeper, Bao Yugang waved to him.
A foreigner next to him also stood up and smiled at Li Changhe.
"Uncle, Sir Shen"
"This is a gift I brought to Sir Shen. I hope Sir Shen likes it."
Li Changhe took out the gifts he had brought.
Shen Bi was slightly surprised when he saw it.
"Wowowo, what a beautiful watch box!"
Shen Bi said in surprise.
Li Changhe specially hired someone to create an exquisite watch box. The surrounding area of the watch box is made of pure gold, so it can also be said to be a gold box.
Li Changhe was very sure that Shen Bi liked both gold watches and gold.
Because he remembered that when Shen Bi retired in history, Li Jiacheng gave Shen Bi a pure gold HSBC building.
Although the HSBC building is of commemorative significance, given Li Ka-shing's preference for gold, it is probably the focus.
So this time, Li Changhe also made a golden box.
Although his gold watch box is not made of pure gold, it looks more noble and elegant when paired with top-grade North American white oak.
After all, the British like white oak, and oak has a special meaning to them.
White oak plus gold, full of style!
At this moment, Shen Bi opened the watch box with great anticipation, and as expected, there were eight extremely exquisite collectible gold watches inside.
Each watch is a different brand.
From Patek Philippe to Vacheron Constantin, from Rolex to Piaget, we have everything.
"Bao, the gift from your nephew is really too expensive!"
Shen Bi couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
The gold watch box and these watches are probably worth no less than one million Hong Kong dollars.
Of course, Shen Bi has no shortage of these one million Hong Kong dollars, but sometimes these things cannot be measured by money.
"Vic, can I call you that?"
“Thank you for the gift, I like it very much!”
There is no doubt that Shen Bi has a very good impression of Li Changhe at this moment!
