Many people recognized at a glance that this was Mrs. Lin, the richest woman in Hong Kong, and people's curiosity was immediately aroused.

The Lin family represented by Mrs. Lin has no business relationship with Hutchison Whampoa, so why does she appear here?

Everyone thought she was here to pay a visit to Li Ka-shing, the owner of the building, but under the spotlight, it was Li Zekai who greeted her.

"Mrs. Lin, welcome! Welcome!"

"Thank you, Li Sheng."

Tao Yushu's "Li Sheng" made Li Zekai feel happy, but he still said: "Mrs. Lin, please call me Richard."

In this building, "Li Sheng" can be his father or his eldest brother, but it is not him.

Li Zekai came to the front desk to greet Tao Yushu. This was a sign of respect for the richest woman in Hong Kong. The two came to the office chatting and laughing. The female secretary brought drinks and then closed the door and left.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Tao Yushu was calm and calm, but did not get to the main topic for a long time.

Although he knew in his heart that this was a negotiation technique, Li Zekai still did not calm down and took the initiative to ask: "Mrs. Lin said that she has a business to discuss. I don't know what the business is?"

Li Zekai is different from his eldest brother Li Zeju, who was identified as the heir early on. He has a bohemian nature.

In his early years, he studied at Stanford University in the United States and later joined Gordon Investment Bank in Canada.

It was not until the death of his mother Zhuang Mingyue last year that he was ordered by his father to return to Hong Kong and was arranged by Li Ka-shing to be the managing director of Hutchison Whampoa.

Li Ka-shing also asked Hutchison Whampoa CEO Ma Shimin to help him develop his skills, but Li Zekai was not a stickler for rules. He knew that Hutchison Whampoa would belong to his eldest brother in the future, and no matter how hard he tried, he would just work for his eldest brother. Last year, Satellite TV Co., Ltd. was established. He learned from his father.

Borrow money to invest in shares.

Satellite TV has two major shareholders. The major shareholder is Hutchison Whampoa, which holds 53% of the shares, and the minority shareholder is Li Zekai.

Accounting for 47% of the shares.

He serves as vice chairman and is the de facto manager.

Seeing that Li Zekai acted informally, Tao Yushu felt relaxed and had a smile on his face.

"It's fate. If we hadn't competed for the New Art City film library before, we wouldn't be sitting here drinking coffee."

Li Zekai felt slightly uncomfortable when he mentioned New Art City's film library. Of course, he knew that Tao Yushu would not come here to deliberately pick on others.

"It's indeed fate. Mrs. Lin is a woman who doesn't give in to men, and she acts decisively, which is admirable."

"Richard, you are joking. It's just because it involves the company's business, so we have to spend a lot of money to buy it."

Tao Yushu's tone was very sincere, Li Zekai nodded slightly, it was indeed true.

"I'm here to visit this time. Actually, you want to talk about satellite TV."

Satellite TV?

His mind was spinning rapidly. Is he looking for copyright cooperation? Or is he planning to develop TV programs? Or is it advertising cooperation?

"Mrs. Lin wants to cooperate with Satellite TV?"

"That's right. Although STARTV has been on the air for less than half a year, you are running it well and soundly, Richard. It's really admirable."

Tao Yushu's compliment made Li Zekai feel happy, but then he became wary, "Mrs. Lin, if you have any ideas, why don't you just say it?"

"That's fine." Tao Yushu nodded slightly, his face became serious, and his temperament suddenly changed, "I want to buy satellite TV."

Hearing this, Li Zekai couldn't help but look surprised. It wasn't that he didn't have a city, it was because Tao Yushu's intention was beyond his expectation.

Buying satellite TV?

The two of them had only had one or two interactions at cocktail parties in the business world before, not even a nod of acquaintance.

She has never had any business dealings before, so why does she think she can sell it?

After a moment of surprise, Li Zekai suppressed his emotions and said with a smile: "Mrs. Lin is joking. Satellite TV is an important layout for Hutchison Whampoa to enter the media field. It is not for sale."

"Richard, of course I understand how much you and Hutchison value satellite TV. But in the final analysis, doing business is about making money, don't you think so?"

After listening to Tao Yushu's words, Li Zekai nodded imperceptibly.

Tao Yushu continued: "Although you personally hold a lot of shares in Satellite TV, the real major shareholder of Satellite TV is Hutchison Whampoa."

As soon as these words came out, it could be described as murderous and heart-wrenching, and Li Zekai couldn't help but a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

If the Li family's business empire is compared to a feudal dynasty, then Li Zekai's eldest brother Li Zeju is undoubtedly the legitimate eldest son.

It has been established early on that he will inherit the throne in the future. This is hardly a secret in Xiangjiang.

"What I said was not to sow discord, but just to discuss business.

I have always believed that people must have three powers to control wealth: ownership, control, and

Beneficial rights.

Therefore, corporate assets are not equal to personal assets. Only what you hold in your hands truly belongs to you.

I don’t know if you agree with Richard?”

Li Zekai was silent, his eyes looking at Tao Yushu through the round lenses, with unclear meaning, like firelight in the wind, constantly flickering.

"Richard, you come from a wealthy family and have the example of your father and brother. I don't think your ambition is just to work for Hutchison Whampoa and run a TV station like Satellite TV.

In the future, your stage will be all of Asia and even the world, and satellite TV is destined to be just your stepping stone.

Now there is such an opportunity. You can not only prove yourself in front of your father and brother, but also reap the first pot of gold on the road to entrepreneurship, proving to all people in Xiangjiang:

Your talents are no weaker than anyone else!"

Tao Yushu's voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful, which made Li Zekai excited.

He felt that every word Tao Yushu said hit his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he could only try his best to control his performance.

"Mrs. Lin was joking, our Li family is the same as each other, there is no such thing as one working for the other.'

Compared with Tao Yushu's momentum, Li Zekai's response seemed dry. This was not because he was inferior to others, but because he had been moved by Tao Yushu's words and his momentum was weakened.

"Of course I understand. Richard, you should also know that I have no intention of inflaming your father-son brotherhood.

And I also believe that the relationship between father and son and brotherhood cannot be destroyed by a few idle words.

But I think you need a chance to prove yourself to everyone."

Li Zekai felt very uncomfortable at the moment. He knew that he was moved by Tao Yushu's remarks, so he was being restrained from the beginning to the end. He wanted to gain the initiative.

"Mrs. Lin, Satellite TV and Huang have only been in possession of it for half a year, and the business has just started to improve. It is impossible to sell it easily. I am afraid I will disappoint you."

After saying this, Li Zekai felt that he had finally regained a victory.

Tao Yushu asked: "Richard, aren't you going to listen to my quotation first?"

Their eyes crossed, and Li Zekai felt as if dozens of cat claws were scratching his heart. He didn't want to hear Tao Yushu's quotation, but he knew that once he opened his mouth, he would prove that he was not as indifferent as he appeared.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Tao Yushu expressed regret.

"I understand, it seems that satellite TV is indeed not for sale by Hutchison Whampoa."

Hearing this, Li Zekai felt a stab in his heart.

Hutchison, after all, is not his Hutchison.

"That's alright. You can't force things like business. Since Hutchison is so optimistic about satellite TV, I can only take a step back."

Every time Tao Yushu mentioned Hutchison, it was like cutting a knife into Li Zekai's heart, making him confused and shaken in his will.

At this moment, Tao Yushu stood up calmly.

"Then just pretend I haven't been here today. We will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

Li Zekai sat behind his desk and looked at Tao Yushu's hand stretched out to him, his eyes confirming it.

Hutchison Whampoa Centre, top floor.

As soon as Li Ka-shing arrived at the company, his confidant Bao Qiyun, manager of the office of the chairman of the board of directors of Cheung Kong, came to him and whispered a few words.

Listening to Bao Qiyun's words, his eyebrows twitched and he was thoughtful. Then he just said "I know" and started reading newspapers as usual.

He gets up before six o'clock every day, sets out from his home on Deep Water Bay Road, and goes down the mountain to a nearby nine-hole golf course, making sure to hit the first shot before seven o'clock.

He is usually accompanied by someone when he plays, sometimes it is a billionaire who lives near Xiangjiang Golf Club, sometimes it is an executive in the company, sometimes it is a new business partner he is inspecting.

Then I arrive at the office on time at 10 o'clock. The first thing I do is read newspapers and periodicals. I get a massage at noon, have lunch at 1 pm, continue working for two hours, and get off work on time at 4 pm.

Day after day, year after year, such a regular and rigid schedule will not be easily disrupted.

It was not until 11:30 noon that he took a break and during the massage break, he instructed Bao Qiyun to call Liang Botao of Peregrine.

Li Ka-shing is Liang Botao's boss. After Liang Botao and Du Lianhui established Peregrine, Li Ka-shing also attracted many shareholders for him. The company has been in business for more than three years, and last year's revenue exceeded HK$1 billion.

Tao Yushu is also a loyal customer of Peregrine. The acquisition of Yulang Institution, the listing of Ming Pao Enterprises and Lam Pictures have all brought considerable income to Peregrine.

"Li Sheng!" Liang Botao's voice came from the speakerphone.

Li Ka-shing was lying on the massage chair with his eyes closed and his expression relaxed, "A Tao, did Mrs. Lin call you in the past two days?"

Liang Botao on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment. He is a brain-eater, and Tao Yushu is his big client. Li Ka-shing's question made him a little embarrassed. Revealing client secrets is a taboo in this industry.

But sometimes, no answer is the best answer. The reason why Li Ka-shing called was just to confirm his thoughts, not to deliberately embarrass Liang Botao. Now he has got the answer he wanted.

"Okay, it's okay."
