"Okay then, Mr. Qi Dezun! I respect your opinion!" Li Jiacheng said after a slight hesitation.

"Brother-in-law!" Zhuang Jiajun couldn't help but remind him, "The situation will be different once those reporters come in. If they talk nonsense then, it will have a great impact on our Yangtze River Industry."

Zhuang Jiajun is right to worry. If this acquisition fails, the credibility of Cheung Kong Holdings will be hit, and the confidence of shareholders in Cheung Kong Holdings will also be dampened.

Li Jiacheng winked at Zhuang Jiajun, telling him not to be impulsive, and then said to Qi Dezun with a smile: "Mr. Qi Dezun, it is also my heart to allow the media to witness such a great moment! With British and Chinese capital, can we, Cheung Kong Industries,

The acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa will eventually go down in history!"

Qi Dezun didn't expect Li Jiacheng to be so arrogant and couldn't help but said: "I want to see what you have to rely on? You can be so arrogant!"

With the permission of both parties, reporters from outside media were allowed to enter.

As soon as this news came out, everyone was immediately alarmed.

Especially the reporters, they even doubted whether they heard correctly?

Can I go in for an interview?

Can you witness this historical moment with your own eyes?

No longer able to take care of many, these media swarmed in!

When these media entered the negotiation scene, they realized that the atmosphere was wrong. It felt like the scene before them was like a life and death battle in a martial arts novel, and both good and evil were about to take action!

"Wow, so nervous! So exciting!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that we would be able to witness this great moment!"

The reporters were chattering on the sidelines.

Ghost guy Qi Dezun glanced at them, and they all immediately fell silent.

"Then let the negotiations begin now!" Qi Dezun said.

…

Half an hour passed.

The entire negotiation is still going on fiercely.

Li Jiacheng presented a lot of supporting materials to show the strength of Cheung Kong Holdings' acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa.

Qi Dezun scoffed at this.

After Li Jiacheng put a lot of things on the table, Qi Dezun defeated the enemy with one move: "Can you, Yangtze River Corporation, provide 680 million?"

"Huh?" Li Jiacheng was stunned.

Qi Dezun waved, and the secretary and others next to him immediately handed him the prepared documents.

Qi Dezun didn't even look at it, and threw the document to Li Jiacheng casually: "Boss Li, I know you are trying to find out the leaks in this negotiation! Use your humble funds of Cheung Kong Holdings to acquire my Hutchison Whampoa's billions of assets!

But what a pity! Your calculations were wrong!"

The surrounding atmosphere immediately condensed.

The reporters from the media perfectly aimed their guns and cannons at Li Jiacheng, who was dumbfounded, and started filming wildly.

Li Jiacheng was stunned for a moment and knew that he couldn't lose his composure at this time. He immediately gathered his emotions and took the documents and looked through them.

The document almost contains a summary of Hutchison Whampoa's assets at this stage. The investment funds in the New Territories, Kowloon and Hong Kong Island are as high as 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars! Not to mention other fixed assets, as well as long-term real estate.

As Qi Dezun said just now, Hutchison Whampoa's current business is not very good and it is encountering difficulties in its operations. However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and its overall assets are as high as more than 6 billion!

"If I remember correctly, what are the total assets of your Cheung Kong Holdings? 800 million, or one billion? Well, let's calculate based on the highest 800 million. Do you want to use your 800 million to leverage our Hutchison Whampoa?

Qi Dezun's eyes were scornful, "It's impossible, right? If you spend 800 million, your Yangtze River Industries will be hollowed out, so how can you still play?"

Faced with the irony, Li Ka-shing's face turned red. He began to wonder whether the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa was a wrong decision.

The surrounding media also saw this and muttered: "Boss Li is so embarrassed this time!"

"Yes, if you want a snake to swallow an elephant, you have to see if you have that kind of ability!"

As the organizer of this negotiation and a third party, Wei Li and others also looked embarrassed at this moment.

On the surface, Qi Dezun's words were insulting Li Jiacheng for not overestimating his abilities, but in fact, he was also mocking the acquirer they arranged for being too weak! It wasn't enough to watch, and it wasn't enough for him to play with!

Qi Dezun won with one move and continued to show off his power: "Okay! Even if I give in, 800 million yuan can't be paid, right? Then 600 million yuan! According to your previous plan, use 600 million yuan to acquire our Hutchison Whampoa 100% Twenty equity shares, is that enough?"

Li Jiacheng's face twitched.

I didn’t expect that even my trump card would be known to the other party, so how could we talk about it?

Zhuang Jiajun also looked stunned, wondering if there was a traitor on their side.

The most important thing in the negotiation between the two parties is each other's trump card. Now that someone has seen through their own trump card of 600 million, how can they still negotiate?

The reporters next to me were even more excited.

"Wow, six hundred million!"

"It's a pity that Cheung Kong has no trump card! If we really spend 600 million to hollow out the company, I'm afraid it will be attacked by other companies!"

"Shopping malls are like battlefields. Li Jiacheng will definitely lose this time!"

As a representative of HSBC, Wei Li was already speechless at this moment.

He never expected Qi Dezun to be so ruthless. Even Li Jiacheng knew all his cards. How could he fight?

Wei Li covered his face and couldn't bear to look any further.

Qi Dezun saw that Li Jiacheng's old face was red with scolding, and he was speechless. He became even more wanton and rampant. He took out a cigar and bit it proudly on his mouth. He also took out a long match and struck it, lit the cigar, and took two big puffs. He puffed out a puff of smoke and then said with a smile: "Why, it's still not possible? Haha, I thought you Hong Kong Chinese businessmen were so powerful that you could brazenly acquire our British-owned foreign companies, but now it seems that it's all just a rush!"

Qi Dezun's words directly belittled the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong to the extreme, making everyone at the scene including Li Jiacheng furious.

Hitting someone is not a slap in the face, let alone beating a bunch of people to death with a stick like this!

Before Qi Dezun could finish his sarcasm, he heard a voice saying: "Are you saying that our Chinese businessmen are attacking the street?"

"What's going on?"

"Who's coming?"

There was a commotion at the scene.

Following the voice, Shi Zhijian, dressed in white, walked in from outside with a smile.

"It's Shi Zhijian!"

"Why is it him?"

Those media reporters were excited. Shi Zhijian has been the darling of the news media recently. News about him will definitely make the front page!

When Li Jiacheng saw Shi Zhijian suddenly appear, his expression changed from anger to excitement, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, he beamed with joy.

HSBC representative Wei Li looked at the legendary young man in front of him with some curiosity!

As far as he knew, even Shen Bi, the senior manager of HSBC, seemed to be this person, so wouldn't he be his ancestor?!

Qi Dezun frowned and looked at Shi Zhijian, the uninvited guest.

Although he has not had much contact with Shi Zhijian, he has heard of Shi Zhijian's name and knows that the young man in front of him may seem ordinary, but in fact he is special. In addition to being the president of Shinhwa Group, he also holds the title of member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council.

…

"Just now, did you guys say that all of us Chinese businessmen are on the street?" Shi Zhijian walked in with barrister Hu Juncai and others.

When everyone saw him coming, they involuntarily moved out of the way.

At this moment, Shi Zhijian is like holding a halo, making people look up at him!

Shi Zhijian walked up to Qi Dezun with a smile and looked at him sharply, with a smile on his face but his eyes were very cold.

"Why, am I wrong?" Qi Dezun said with an arrogant look, biting a big cigar and saying, "You Chinese-owned company wants to swallow the elephant with a mere 600 million to swallow up our more than 6 billion yuan."

Remember Huangpu, you have to be strong!" After saying that, he looked at Li Jiacheng with contempt and said, "I'm afraid that he will wipe out his family's fortune and not even be able to save his own company!"

Shi Zhijian looked at the arrogant Qi Dezun and smiled.

"That's right, one Cheung Kong Holdings may not be able to swallow up your Hutchison Whampoa, but what if our Shinhwa Group is added to it?"

"What do you mean?" Qi Dezun's eyes widened suddenly.

"What do you mean? You know!" Shi Zhijian reached out and took the big cigar Qi Dezun was biting. He broke the cigar in an unruly manner and threw it away. Then he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. "You make a number, I want to win Hutchison Whampoa."

!”

Qi Dezun's face was ashen, he never thought that there would be someone more arrogant and domineering than himself in this world!

Others also looked at Shi Zhijian in astonishment, realizing for the first time that there was such a sharp figure among the Chinese!

"Do you think you are on the side? Take it down as soon as you say it will be taken down?" Qi Dezun said angrily.

Shi Zhijian ignored the angrily Qi Dezun and waved his hand towards Hu Juncai behind him.

Hu Juncai stepped forward and handed him a document.

Shi Zhijian took the document and raised it in front of Qi Dezun: "Have a look first!"

Qi Dezun hummed and took the document.

Others were curious about what was written on the document and craned their necks to read it.
