Almost exactly three years ago, Tang Xin and the entire board of directors of Horizon Group came to Hong Kong City like a dragon crossing the river. In this land, they were called country bumpkins by the Hong Kong City plutocrats, who ridiculed them with contempt. A group of nouveau riche, after paying a heavy price, the dissatisfied can only grovel and survive as if bearing the humiliation.
But today, three years later, Tang Xin got off the car outside the group building, straightened his coat, and walked into the company building with his head held high. Wherever he went, the employees stopped and watched, their eyes full of reverence.
When he came to the door of the conference room, the four family representatives who had arrived early and the entourage they brought, plus the company executives, all stood up and faced Tang Xin solemnly. Tang Xin nodded to everyone with a faint smile. Naturally, He walked to the main seat without sitting down or taking off his dark black coat. Bai Yeyu closed the conference room door and walked to Tang Xin's side, but he also did not sit down.
Seeing that Tang Xin and Bai Yeyu were not seated, others seemed to dare not sit down, so they stood and stared at Tang Xin.
Tang Xin gestured with his hand and said softly: "Please sit down. I have been sitting in the hospital for several hours and came by car. Now I want to stand and talk."
After hearing what he said, the atmosphere in the conference room immediately relaxed a lot. Everyone slowly pulled out their chairs and sat down, continuing to stare at Tang Xin, as if Tang Xin was now the eternal focus, and he would be the center of attention wherever he went. main character.
Bai Yeyu crossed his arms and glanced around the people present. He knew most of the people. He had always been in charge of the business in Hong Kong City. He would come to Hong Kong City at least every month to listen to the business reports of various companies and talk to many people. Have dealt with them all.
But Tang Xin is different. There were many new faces now compared to the people he had met just once three years ago. Some are new faces in the top management of the company, and some are the changes in the heads of the four families.
But from the eyes of these people, Tang Xin knew their identities and backgrounds. The ones with hidden worries in their eyes were the current senior managers of the company. They would be worried about changes in the top management and whether their jobs would be affected, and their eyes were staring at them eagerly. His people must be representatives of the four families.
Tang Xin smiled and coughed twice. He got straight to the point: "I am here today just to announce a decision. Horizon Group has decided to reduce its holdings in the four major Hong Kong groups. We had absolute controlling rights before and will reduce our holdings to between 30% and 40% in the future. If any family If you want to buy shares, I welcome it, and there is no problem in changing the controlling shareholder. Horizon Group¡¯s investment in the four major Hong Kong groups has changed from a manager role to an investment partner."
As soon as the words fell, an unexpected commotion broke out in the conference room.
The current executives looked at each other and whispered, discussing the drastic impact of this change. It is no exaggeration to say that this will be an earthquake at the top of the group.
There is one emperor and one courtier. When the Horizon Group took over, there was a cleanup and a blood change. Three years later, the people from Hong Kong were allowed to regain power and take over the country. Naturally, there would also be huge changes at the top of the company.
Management shock is never a good thing, but Tang Xin is not worried. He believes that people in Hong Kong will cherish the career created and worked hard by their family ancestors more than he does.
"Dr. Tang, what is the price for the shares transferred by Horizon Group? How much will it be? If it is higher than the market value, it is too high. We may not be able to buy it."
Someone from the four families asked Tang Xin respectfully. After the surprise, a very practical question was placed in front of them. This is also a question that others are concerned about.
Tang Xin took a step back and handed over the power of the company to the people of Hong Kong City. Horizon Group and the Hong Kong City Consortium truly became an equal and cooperative relationship, which made them grateful.
Sometimes people are just so weird. If Horizon Group initially proposed cooperation, no one might think highly of Horizon Group. However, Horizon Group struck hard and knocked down the Hong Kong City Consortium. However, if it shows its favor again, the other side will be grateful.
But there are still many people who will speculate: Will he open his mouth like a lion?
Tang Xin smiled lightly and said: "Transfer it at a price of 90% of the market value. If you can't afford the money, there is nothing you can do."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the four families was stunned!
They originally thought that no matter how kind Tang Xin was, it should be based on the market price, but unexpectedly, it was 10% off!
At this moment, they were completely convinced by Tang Xin and laughed at the same time, as if Tang Xin's words were very humorous to their ears.
In fact, what the Hong Kong City Consortium dreams of is not only to make money. In recent years, they have also made a lot of money through Li Zekai's matchmaking by sniping against the British pound and decisively competing against New York futures. In addition, their relationship with the Bohai Chamber of Commerce led by Horizon Group has become increasingly close. Their business in the mainland is booming, but there is one thing in their hearts that they cannot let go.
That means the family business has lost its power and become a vassal of Horizon Group.
The foundation is left by our ancestors, and it is in their hands?Throw it away, and you will have no face to face your ancestors after death.
Now that everything is better, the family business has the opportunity to return to their own hands. This joy comes from heaven and makes everyone smile from the bottom of their hearts.
Bai Yeyu watched from the sidelines and smiled knowingly when he saw everyone's admiration for Tang Xin.
He understood what Tang Xin meant by taking a step back to open up the world. When he looked at the past and the present, he found that Tang Xin had grown rapidly over the years, his mind became more mature, and his vision became broader. He used to be sharp and sharp, but now he seems to have returned to his original nature and is indifferent, but In fact, even if he faced the earthquake and the earth, he could still remain firm.
Overjoyed, the four families in Hong Kong jointly held a banquet to welcome Tang Xin. At the evening banquet, many figures from the older generation, whether they were from the four families or not, and celebrities from Hong Kong City were all present. Many of them Tang Xin did not know at all. , but many people still came forward to greet Tang Xin.
Many charming and heroic figures from the older generation had heart-to-heart conversations with Tang Xin. Among them, Li Muxin's grandfather, probably because of his marriage relationship, even had a long conversation with Tang Xin. He drank a little too much and talked too much, and he couldn't help but talk. The elder spoke to Tang Xin heart to heart.
On the way Tang Xin took the car to the airport, what Grandpa Li Muxin said to him kept echoing in his mind.
"Real strength does not rely on dominance. The charm lies in the ability of a strong person to be more tolerant than a weak person."
This may or may not be true. Tang Xin did not criticize, but he remembered it deeply in his heart.
Tolerance. easy to say, hard to do.
How much tolerance do ordinary people have to others?
Being bullied by others but unable to resist, and enduring silently is not tolerance, it is admitting defeat.
In the past, the Hong Kong City Consortium was in awe of Tang Xin, with 30% respect and 70% fear, but now. They already had great admiration for Tang Xin.
Choosing to take a step back in Hong Kong City, Tang Xin found a more reliable shopping mall ally, the Hong Kong City Consortium.
¡° In this way, in the Mainland, the Bohai Chamber of Commerce headed by Horizon Group, combined with the powerful alliance with the Hong Kong City Consortium, will become the leading consortium force in Asia. Even if you look at the world, it is a business force that cannot be ignored.
"I will go back on the night of the 29th of the New Year. Chen Xiao will also be back by then. Let's get together."
Bai Yeyu, who was driving, said casually. Tang Xin promised not to answer the phone again. In fact, he was also busy during the New Year. Everyone is busy, so it¡¯s time to take some time out to get together. Tang Xin felt overwhelmed when he thought of going from door to door to pay New Year greetings to the woman¡¯s family.
Especially Cheng Wenyue seemed to be still angry with him for abducting his daughter. For the first time in his life, Cheng Mu disobeyed his father. Just for Tang Xin, Tang Xin felt quite ashamed.
Bai Yeyu, who was driving, suddenly slowed down and asked in a deep voice, "How many people did you bring with you when you came?"
Tang Xin raised his head and looked out the window, and found that on the way to the international airport, their car was surrounded. There was a car on the front, left and right of them, and the international airport was in a remote location. After seeing the intersection, he drove away. It gets more and more secluded as you go down.
Through the car window, Bai Yeyu saw a man holding a pistol on the left gesturing to him, telling him to follow the car in front, otherwise he would shoot.
With a helpless sigh, Bai Yeyu turned around and asked Tang Xin: "Are you here for you?"
"Haha, Bai Yeyu, there is something in your words. You are trying to say that none of the rest of you will cause trouble as unscrupulously as me, right?"
Bai Yeyu still drove the car calmly and said: "You said it yourself, it's troublesome. This time wasted, clean up your hands. Oh, sometimes, you really don't need to be aggressive and show mercy. This can It will save you a lot of trouble.¡±
Tang Xin laughed and asked: "It seems that you have guessed who it is?"
"Isn't this obvious? There are people who are young and successful and can't stand the grievances. In fact, they are the same as you. It's just a difference in strength. Do you need me to name them?"
Tang Xin and he said in unison: "Yang Hongcheng."
After they finished speaking, the two of them smiled in unison, and Tang Xin said thoughtfully: "He today reminds me of a person from the past."
"who?"
"Wu Bochen."
"Who is that?"
¡°Charles Wu¡¯s son.¡±
"Oh, I remembered, then he should know Yang Hongcheng. They are both young masters of the Xinjiapo Consortium. It seems that Yang Hongcheng has not learned from the past. Speaking of which, can you tell me where Wu Bochen went today? He has absconded and disappeared. , I guess he¡¯s dead.¡±
Tang Xin¡¯s eyes were dazed, and he said leisurely: ¡°You guessed it right, he is dead.¡±
Bai Yeyu asked curiously: "???How did he die? Did you arrange a killer? "
"He fell to death from a high altitude. His last words were f-u-c-k-y-o-u. Then I personally cremated him."
Bai Yeyu had a strange expression on his face. He could not imagine where Wu Bochen died.
He didn¡¯t have to think about it, because the car in front of him stopped, right on the road on Lantau Island.
Bai Yeyu was about to get out of the car, but Tang Xin raised his hand to stop him and said, "I won't bother you anymore. I'll go down and meet him for a while. He's a little person who doesn't know the heights of the world. You can come out without bothering me, otherwise he really thinks he has so much face." "
Bai Yeyu raised his eyebrows without objecting and stayed in the car.
There are only lights on the highway at night. Yang Hongcheng is standing in front of the highway fence wearing a slim-fitting nylon coat with his hands behind his hands. Not far from him is the international airport with three sides of sea water. It is located in a remote place and he is not afraid of being disturbed at night.
There were more than a dozen men in black standing around. Tang Xin didn't even look at him. He walked behind Yang Hongcheng. The other person turned around and smiled softly: "Director Tang, I invite you here so late. Let me make a long story short. I want to invest in Hongxin." According to the market value of the group, the Singapore Consortium is only about one-eighth of the Horizon Group. I exchanged 30% of the consortium¡¯s shares for 3% of the Horizon Group¡¯s shares. Is this sincerity enough?¡±
Tang Xin raised his hand without changing his expression and asked blankly: "Otherwise?"
Yang Hongcheng's face darkened, and his eyes were sinister: "Otherwise, Horizon Group's business power in Southeast Asia will be uprooted by us. Do you still remember our cooperation three years ago? Our consortium took over a large number of listing entrustments from the Bohai Chamber of Commerce. If we If you interfere, the losses of the Bohai Chamber of Commerce will add up. Hahaha, when the time comes, you, the leaders, may face rebellion from countless people below. Hey, you may start to threaten me. Please don't. I can tell you clearly that I am here. In the past year, all social forces in Southeast Asia have been integrated. If you want to go to war, I will make you live in peace forever. I am not threatening you, but telling you that the person standing in front of you has the capital to cooperate with you."
Tang Xin closed his eyes and chuckled, shrugging his shoulders. His smile made Yang Hongcheng frown and scold: "Why are you laughing?"
Tang Xin shook his head and said: "Five years, five years, the Singapore Consortium has actually completed a reincarnation. You now are just like Charles Wu back then. You are wrong, I will not threaten you. Back then, I didn't I have threatened Wu Bochen, and I have never threatened Charles Wu. They and his son died in my hands. Moreover, I paid people to kill Charles Wu¡¯s whole family. Do you think that I am different today than I was back then? How much has my strength changed? How could I be like you, going back as I live?"
Yang Hongcheng sneered: "Now, you are still so angry, do you really want to break up?"
Tang Xin mocked: "Do you know how stupid you are? You told me your trump card as soon as we met. You thought you were showing strength. No, you were stupid. I said you'd better never Appear in front of me again, since you can't do it, then I will do it. Listen, listen carefully."
Yang Hongcheng really pricked up his ears and listened. In the quiet night, the sound of a car came from the highway, and it wasn't just one.
Just when Yang Hongcheng didn't react, more than a dozen cars surrounded them.
Chen Haoqiang got out of the car with his men. With an expressionless face, he took out his gun and pointed it at Yang Hongcheng's bodyguards.
Tang Xin stared at Yang Hongcheng, whose face suddenly changed, and ordered softly: "Kill the others and throw them into the sea to feed the fish. This young master, chop off one of his hands and send it to Xinjiapo, and let the Xinjiapo consortium pick him up on the high seas within two days." people."
