It was already late at night when they arrived in Hong Kong City, and Bai Yeyu and his wife were waiting eagerly outside the airport.
Tang Xin was alone. Considering that he was visiting a doctor and coming to Hong Kong, he did not bring any bodyguards to avoid giving the impression that Tang Xin was here for the Hongmen Banquet. However, secretly, he asked Chen Haoqiang to bring some bodyguards with him. After getting off the plane, these people dispersed in the dark and waited for orders.
Now that she is a mother, Li Muxin has lost her virginity and now has a mature and radiant charm. She may have returned to her mother's territory, and the smile on her face seems to be much more confident.
When Tang Xin greeted her, he always felt a sense of distance from outsiders, but he didn't need it when facing Bai Yeyu. Bai Yeyu opened the car door directly and let Tang Xin sit in. The couple drove and sat in the passenger seat.
While driving to the hospital, Bai Yeyu said tepidly: "Li Sheng has passed the critical period, and his body will slowly recover if nothing unexpected happens."
Hearing the news, Tang Xin didn¡¯t have much reaction. If a well-known rich man had some health problems, he would cause uproar in the city. In those days, every time the Macau gambling king was hospitalized, there would be uproar. Half of it was because of his life safety, and half of it was speculation about the ownership of his inheritance.
Li Zekai was critically ill, and it was ultimately a false alarm. This at least made Tang Xin feel at ease. He had previously thought about how he could visit him with the mentality of saying goodbye to his friends. If the other party really passed away, Tang Xin would not After experiencing such a scene, he may not really know how to deal with it. The comfort that is neither salty nor light seems cold-blooded, and the comfort that is too warm is something he cannot adapt to.
Now that he was relaxed, Tang Xin joked: "Bai Yeyu. You really do as the Romans do, Li Sheng. Haha, that's how people are called in Guangdong and Hong Kong. It sounds really awkward."
Bai Yeyu laughed it off, saying that it was no exaggeration to say that he was just doing as the Romans do.
Li Muxin turned around and smiled: "There have been too many people visiting him recently. He was so uncomfortable listening to Cantonese and Mandarin that he gradually started calling people Wang Sheng, Li Sheng, and Zhang Sheng. Haha."
Tang Xin suddenly turned his head and looked out the window, looking at the bustling free trade port under the night, and said leisurely: "Speaking of which, Horizon Group has taken root in the port city for more than three years."
When this topic was brought up, the smile on Li Muxin's face gradually disappeared, and instead she laughed twice to hide it. Then he turned around and sat in the passenger seat.
There is a cruel reality that this couple does not want to mention in life, that is, Horizon Group has taken away the family businesses of several major families in Hong Kong City. Although the lives of these Hong Kong City consortiums are much better than before, this is their fault. The unspeakable pain in my heart.
Tang Xin didn¡¯t pick up any of the pots, but instead talked more and more.
"How is your brother in prison?"
Back then, Tang Xin asked young people from the five major families in Hong Kong to surrender themselves to the police. In the end, the Wang family was exterminated by Tang Xin. The young master of the Wang family who was imprisoned also "committed suicide" unknown to the public two years later.
And the young masters from the other four families are still serving their sentences.
Especially being sent to the prison on the ground in Bonin means that under Tang Xin's eyes, no one, whether official or social, dared to make small moves while being open to the public.
That time Tang Xin's anger broke out and everyone tacitly understood it, and forcefully embezzled the family properties of the five major families in Hong Kong City. The young master of the fifth family is also sent to jail. Who is playing dirty tricks with Tang Xin on this matter or is secretly going in the opposite direction. They will all be on the opposite side of Tang Xin.
Li Muxin lowered her head and said sadly: "Very good."
From an objective point of view, Li Muxin should think that her brother brought it upon himself and collaborated to defraud the Tang family of one billion yuan. Today, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Tang Xin. However, since she married Bai Yeyu, she has been getting to know Tang Xin better and knows that the amount of the fraud is not the main factor. Yes, the key is respect between people.
But emotionally, after all, it was her relative who was in prison. Even though she was in good health, how could she get better after losing her freedom?
"Ye Yu, please send a message to the province. The four young masters asked them to go home to celebrate the New Year. After the New Year, they don't have to go back to Boning. It is estimated that they will never want to set foot on the land of our province again in this life."
Tang Xin¡¯s words made Li Muxin suddenly turn her head and stare at him, with a look of disbelief on her face.
Tang Xin is so proud!
Bai Yeyu¡¯s reaction was mediocre, neither happy nor sad, which originally had nothing to do with him.
Even though his brother-in-law was in jail, he always thought that he had done it himself.
At that time, the five young masters surrendered. The amount of the fraud was one billion yuan, which was a relatively large amount. However, things changed and they were sentenced to twenty years. Now they can go through the official procedures and release them on the grounds of good behavior. As long as they don't make any noise and let them go. The last four people kept a low profile. They must have woken up after suffering in prison for three years, even if they were lumps in the elm.
"Tang, Mr. Tang, thank you."
Li Muxin¡¯s eyes flashed with tears of excitement.
Although the family's situation has improved compared to when Tang Xin's Raptors crossed the river. Under the leadership of Li Zekai, the Hong Kong City Consortium has had many brilliant cooperations with Horizon Group, and the business conflicts have long been turned into friendship, but the elderly in Li Muxin's family are unhappy every day. After all, daughters are just water thrown away. The rich families of the Hong Kong City Consortium have always treated men as inferior to women. The loss of one son is more heartbreaking than the loss of ten daughters.
Tang Xin did not need Li Muxin's gratitude and was indifferent in his heart. He just had a big change in his mentality. For him, the enemy was not necessarily eternal. In the beginning, there was a tense war with the Hong Kong City Consortium. In the past few years, It has long since disappeared. On the contrary, cooperation and mutual benefit in the market, and alliances between strong and powerful people can be regarded as the main theme of the world stage. The era of going it alone is long gone, because the world is too big and there are many strong people.
"Ye Yu, I'd like to trouble you again. We'll convene a meeting of the major groups in Hong Kong tomorrow morning. Those family businesses in Hong Kong that we controlled three years ago, ask them to send their current speakers to attend the meeting."
Tang Xin¡¯s words made Li Muxin stunned. She was so smart that she vaguely guessed what Tang Xin was going to do!
Could it be that
Bai Yeyu obviously guessed it, he frowned and said: "Tang Xin, think twice about this matter."
Li Muxin turned around and glanced at her husband, who had never known her relatives on official business, with dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"It's obvious that Tang Xin is going to show off his power, why do you still stop him?"
Tang Xin turned his head nonchalantly and looked out the window at the retrograde street scene. He said calmly: "There are no absolutes in the world, sometimes. Taking a step back, it is really a picture of a bright future. Over the years, the Hong Kong companies we control have had their ups and downs. Generally speaking, with the economic recovery of the Hong Kong city, it has created unparalleled benefits for Horizon Group. It is less profitable, but it is also a springboard to open up overseas markets, especially in Asia, where the business volume has a broader channel network. However, the Hong Kong City Consortium has been holding its breath in its heart. We, the outsiders, are the masters. After all, it is difficult to convince the public. , taking a step back, the mentality is to convince people with virtue, and in the overall situation, it strengthens the cooperation barriers of the business alliance. In fact, you can think about it maliciously. I just want them to surrender willingly. "
Bai Yeyu, who was driving the car, thought deeply for a while, then nodded and said no more.
There was nothing to say all the way. It was already midnight when we arrived at the hospital, but the hospital was not deserted. When Tang Xin got off the car, a group of people just walked out of the hospital. It looks like a group of bodyguards are protecting a young man.
When the elegant young man in a suit and leather shoes saw Tang Xin, a gentle smile spread across his face. He quickly walked up to Tang Xin, stretched out his hand and said, "Dr. Tang, long time no see. Come and stay well."
Tang Xin did not shake hands with the young man and looked at his face doubtfully. Finally, he said something that made the young man look embarrassed and even a little angry.
"Who are you?"
The young man did not expect that Tang Xin would forget him. Being ignored like this was extremely inconsistent with his status today. The arrogance in his heart became particularly profound when he experienced the gap.
He suppressed his anger, squeezed out a smile and said, "Did Mr. Tang forget? My name is Yang Hongcheng."
Tang Xin thought briefly, and finally shook his head with a calm expression.
do not know!
It seems that I have never heard of it.
Yang Hongcheng's self-esteem was frustrated one after another, and he tried his best to maintain his grace and said: "My mother Wang Meifang."
After saying this, Tang Xin suddenly realized and finally remembered the other person.
"Oh, it turns out you are the young master of the Xinjiapo Consortium. Hehe, you looked like a nerd back then, and you looked like a piece of wood next to your mother. What? Judging from your style today, are you on your own?"
Tang Xin had a sneer on his face. Ever since the futures decisive battle with the Japanese consortium in New York, the Singapore consortium chose to be neutral. Of course, that was the neutrality the other party said verbally. Maybe it was on the side of the Japanese consortium. If so, it had obviously suffered a huge loss. After the loss, Tang Xin had no good impression of the Singapore Consortium.
????????????????????????????????¡
Because of this, Tang Xin regards Li Zekai as a precious ally. It doesn't matter how much financial strength he has, but the awareness to fight side by side!
On the other hand, the Singapore Consortium is like a white-eyed wolf, Tang Xin's dog that eats meat for convenience. It shows its teeth and claws at the enemy. It is afraid of chewing hard bones, wagging its tail and abandoning him.
Yang Hongcheng saw the displeasure on Tang Xin's face, and he was also dissatisfied with Tang Xin in his heart.
What does it mean to be like a piece of wood? bookworm?
He suppressed his anger and smiled and said: "Does Mr. Tang still have grudges about what happened more than a year ago in his heart? Are you a big man?Sir, a big man should be magnanimous and don't be like us. Today is different from the past. My mother has retired. Now I am in charge of the consortium. I hope to repair the relationship with Mr. Tang. You, sir, will not remember the faults of the villain. We will go forward Don't take the blame and continue to cooperate from now on. I have always admired Director Tang and there are so many things I want to learn from you. What do you think? "
Tang Xin showed a smile and took a deep look at Yang Hongcheng. Both his appearance and expression reminded him of someone.
He took a step forward, stared at Yang Hongcheng at close range, and said calmly: "Learn something from me? Okay, I'll teach you the first lesson. When you think a person cannot be trusted, the person's smile shows humility and flattery. In your eyes, There should be a hateful picture in your eyes, trust your instincts. I don¡¯t trust you anymore, let alone you. Even if your mother stands in front of me, I will say to her the same thing I am saying to you now. Yang Hongcheng, Singapore Consortium, don¡¯t show up in front of me again, get out of here, don¡¯t bring shame on yourself, you guys, want to cooperate with me? Pat your chests and ask yourself, are you qualified? Once upon a time, a huge opportunity was placed in front of you, you guys I flinched, haha, so what if I regret it? Losing is losing, and a weakling will always be a weakling."
