Li Zhaotian reached for the wet wipe and wiped it, stared at Li Jiacheng and asked: "How is it, Boss Li, your answer is-"

Li Jiacheng picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth again: "Money is a trivial matter, but what I'm curious about is why the shares of Wharf of the three major families are going to be sold to you?"

Li Zhaotian took a sip from his wine glass and said with a stern look: "Because if they don't sell it to me, it will become a pile of waste paper!"

"What do you mean by this?"

"I took in a dog, and that dog happened to be the boss of Wharf Pier, and all his men depended on Wharf for food! If I ordered those people to go on strike, how long do you think Wharf can last?"

Li Jiacheng couldn't stop laughing, and suddenly stood up and said, "I want to go to the bathroom!"

Li Zhaotian smiled, stood up and pointed at the female star Bai Xiaoman and said: "What are you still doing sitting down? Didn't you hear that Boss Li has to go to the bathroom? You support him!"

Li Jiacheng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, I'm not drunk!"

Bai Xiaoman hesitated and refused to stand up. After all, she was also a star and a person with status and status. She was not willing to do such a low-level thing as escorting guests to the bathroom to pee!

When Li Zhaotian saw Bai Xiaoman sitting still, he smiled and walked over to pick Bai Xiaoman's hair!

Snap!

Just slap her in the face!

Bai Xiaoman was stunned, his cheeks were blood red, and his eyes looked at Li Zhaotian who suddenly went berserk in horror.

Snap!

Li Zhaotian slapped him again with his backhand!

The corner of Bai Xiaoman's mouth was bleeding directly!

Li Zhaotian stared at her and raised his palm again.

Bai Xiaoman was already squatting on the ground in fear.

Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng beside them were both dumbfounded.

Shen Bi is a high-ranking "gentleman" in the British Empire and has never hit a woman!

Li Jiacheng considers himself an "honest man" and a "civilized man" who has inherited the fine traditions of China, and he never hits women!

Li Zhaotian's outburst was beyond the understanding of both of them, especially Li Jiacheng. For some reason, Li Zhaotian's mouth hit the woman's face, but Li Jiacheng felt his cheeks burning with pain!

After beating Bai Xiaoman, Li Zhaotian picked up the wet wipes and wiped his hands again. He smiled and said to Li Jiacheng: "I'm sorry, I'm rude! This girl thinks she is some kind of bullshit celebrity. She is putting on airs and can't understand the situation clearly.

, I thought I was so great! I’m throwing a tantrum at you, am I, Li Zhaotian, the kind of casual person?”

Li Jiacheng's face twitched a few times.

Li Zhaotian threw away the wet wipes in his hand and looked at Li Jiacheng with a smile again: "Boss Li, do you still want to go to the bathroom?"

Li Jiacheng shivered, sat down again and said, "Hey, it's so magical! I suddenly feel like I don't need it anymore!"

"Really? Then sit down and talk again!"

"What else are you talking about? When Li Sheng is in need, of course I am obligated! Li Sheng also took care of me in this way in the past. Of course I, Mr. Li, will repay the favor!" Li Jiacheng stood and clasped his fists and vowed.

"Okay! Boss Li is indeed a sweetheart! I like it! Come on, let's raise a glass together and go one by one!" Li Zhaotian held up the wine glass and said proudly.

…

As a well-known figure in Hong Kong, the obituary for Mr. Xu's death has been released, and many prominent families have begun to take action to express condolences to Mr. Xu and send him on his last journey.

Among them is the chartering Wang family, who have a very good relationship with the Xu family.

The Charter King was born into a family of small businessmen and was rich in knowledge. He once worked as a comprador and ran many businesses.

In early 1949, the thirty-one-year-old charter boat king and his father took hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings to Hong Kong to start a new career in the world.

At the beginning, he did some small business and accumulated some money, but what to do next? The chartering king remembered his childhood yearning for the sea, so he came up with the idea of ​​shipping.

His mother advised him that "there is only one third risk in shipping". To engage in shipping is to use all your assets as a bet. If you are not careful, you will go bankrupt.

My father believed that the shipping industry in Hong Kong was already very developed and the competition was fierce, but the chartering king was a complete layman on shipping, so why should he run a shipping business? But the chartering king had made up his mind and was determined to seek development in the ocean transportation industry.

While continuing to persuade his father and other family members, he also went around to learn about ships and shipping, and carefully read books on shipping and ships.

The charter king could finally realize his dream of sailing! Although the journey was very difficult, and he was already 37 years old at the time.

At the beginning, there were not enough funds. With the help of friends, he raised more than 700,000 US dollars. The chartering king made a special trip to the UK to buy back an old coal-powered cargo ship. This ship had been in use for 28 years.

The displacement was only 8,200 tons. Although the ship was very dilapidated, the charter king was like a rare treasure. He asked someone to renovate and paint it and named it "Jin'an". This ship was the beginning of his business.

Now he has been engaged in the shipping industry for almost fifteen years. From one ship to hundreds of ships, he has become one of the "Four Shipping Kings of Hong Kong" along with Zhao, Dong and Cao!

However, in the mind of the chartering king, Mrs. Xu, the old shipping king, is his idol, because Mr. Xu has helped him many times, and even the chartering king's first voyage was helped by Mrs. Xu.

He vaguely remembered what Mr. Xu said to the shipping tycoons who looked down on him: "Give many young people a chance!"

Thinking of this, the Charter King sighed and turned his attention to the exit of the airport again.

Although the chartering king was richest in the world, he only had a daughter and no sons, so he always treated his son-in-law as his own son.

His eldest daughter's husband is an Austrian named "Sudiwen", who is very good and outstanding. He just married his eldest daughter this year. Within two days of their marriage, he went to Egypt on a business trip to help the Bao family's newly established fleet.

The Suez Canal is a maritime route.

…

"Sir, actually you don't have to pick up Mr. Su personally this time!" A Lu, the driver who was waiting for the chartered king, said. "Just let me pick up Mr. Su!"

"You don't understand. This time he went to Egypt and made great achievements. It would be grand if I came to pick him up in person!"

"Yes, Master!" A Lu felt that the Master was too kind to this foreign son-in-law.

At this moment, Su Diwen, who was tall and in a neat suit, walked out of the airport.

When he walked out of the airport, he adjusted his watch according to the Hong Kong time provided by the airport. It took about sixteen or seventeen hours to fly from Egypt to Hong Kong. He never rested on the plane and used all the time to read reports.

For Sudven, his Austrian identity actually limits his status in the Bao family.

Chinese people are very traditional. For Su Diwen, this method of marriage is actually similar to what they call "bringing into the wife's wife." After getting married, Su Diwen ostensibly took charge of Bao's Shipbuilding Industry, but in fact, behind his back

The real helmsman is still the charter king.

So he must do better and work harder, only in this way can he be recognized.

At this moment, the passengers who got off the plane with him walked out of the airport entrance like a stream of water.

Outside the airport, illuminated by bright street lights and various neon lights, people waiting to be picked up raised their feet or raised their hands to make improvised pick-up signs with the person being picked up written on them.

"Sir, Mr. Su is out!" The driver A Lu pointed to Su Diwen who was carrying the briefcase.

Su Diwen is tall and a foreigner, with deep eyes and a nose job, and a head full of silver hair that looks very eye-catching.

The boat charter king smiled and said, "Why don't you quickly raise the sign high?"

"Okay!" Alu stood on his tiptoes and raised the sign as hard as he could.

Su Diwen glanced at it and saw it. He quickly walked over and came to the chartering king. He was overjoyed and said: "Father, why are you here?"

Ever since Su Diwen entered Bao's family, he has learned all kinds of rules and etiquette very well.

"Thank you for your hard work!" The chartering king smiled happily.

To be honest, although the Charter King came from an extraordinary background, he was not a conservative person, but it is still difficult to change the traditional concepts in the Chinese people's bones. Therefore, he had a grudge against Su Diwen, a foreign son-in-law, at first.

People who are not from my race must have different hearts. Unfortunately, my daughter likes someone else, and as a father, I can't say much.

However, Su Diwen's efforts for the Bao family during this period were also seen with his own eyes and remembered in his heart. At this moment, the sentence "Thank you for your hard work" contains a lot of emotions.

Sure enough, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on Su Diwen's tired face. This was the joy of being recognized by the head of the family.

"Father, you are very polite. No matter how hard it is to work for the company, you should do it!"

The boat charter king nodded and signaled Alu to help Su Diwen carry his luggage and briefcase. He then turned around and walked side by side with Su Diwen towards the place where the car was parked.

On the way, the charter king said slowly to Su Diwen with his hands behind his back: "Actually, besides seeing you when I come to pick you up this time, I also have something important to do for you!"

"What's the matter? Please give me your instructions!" Su Diwen has always made it very clear that company and family matters must be separated. He always regards himself as a subordinate when it comes to company matters and often uses the words "please give me your instructions" when it comes to matters at home.

Words like "please say".

The charter king had to admit that he admired this aspect of Sudivin.

Gui Lao has always been arrogant and focused on democracy and freedom, so it is difficult for him to adapt to Chinese culture. There is no one like Su Diwen who is willing to lower his stature.

"Your Uncle Xu has passed away, and I want you to pay my condolences on my behalf!"

"Huh?" Su Diwen was stunned for a moment, and his mind quickly thought about the twists and turns here.

"Father, is it inappropriate for me to go?"

"Why is it inappropriate? You are my son-in-law, Bao Yugang! In the future, you will be the heir to our Bao enterprise. Are you not convinced?"

When Su Diwen heard this, his heart became hot, and he also understood the reason why the charter king asked him to do this. To put it bluntly, it was to explain to everyone his position in the Bao family and Bao's enterprise!

And this is what Su Diwen has been looking forward to!

"Thank you, father!" Su Diwen couldn't hide his joy.

The Charter King looked at him and smiled: "Besides, this condolences is very important. You have to make a friend on behalf of our Bao family!"

"Uh, make friends?" Su Diwen was slightly startled. In his impression, the people who could be valued by the charter king and take the initiative to make friends were either high-ranking officials or young talents.
