The Hong Kong Jockey Club has a great influence on all walks of life on Hong Kong Island. There was a saying back then: If the horse runs, the dance will dance. It can be seen that horse racing is deeply rooted in the hearts of Hong Kong Island. This gambling sport is also reflected in many Hong Kong films.
The Jockey Club building is located at 1 Sports Road, next door to the Football Association. At night, the lights are bright and celebrities gather.
In a VIP room somewhere in the headquarters building, Huang Bijuan, the chief executive of HSBC Greater China who was hosting tonight, was smiling and wearing a black Chanel dress. She was having a secret conversation with Clarence Blackett, the head of a long-established British-owned family. The atmosphere was harmonious.
"Mr. Brackett, I'll be watching your acting skills tonight." Huang Bijuan smiled and complimented the old white man in front of her.
Clarence Blackett was seventy-four years old at the time. His family had been deeply involved in the Far East for the past two to three hundred years, and therefore owned 0.65% of the shares of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Like many British consortiums, their lives have become increasingly difficult as the afterglow of the empire on which the sun never sets fades. Therefore, this part of the shares has been targeted.
"Ms. Huang, since the loan from HSBC is in place, I have no problem." Clarence Brackett said with style while smoking a cigar.
Huang Bijuan smiled slightly and raised her glass, "We at HSBC will not ignore our own people. Cheers!"
"Cheers!" Clarence Blackett raised his glass with his bony hand.

…
Jing Gao, accompanied by Wu Jingshu and Wei Chenjun, arrived at the reception with his assistant and entourage. Soon there was a commotion.
He was already a topical figure.
The Jockey Club was attended by celebrities, including some of Jing Gao's old acquaintances. For example: Cheng Jiachun of New World Development Group. His smile was a little playful, as if he was looking at a poor guy. Real estate developers on Hong Kong Island currently have opinions on well height. It’s not just the Zheng family.
The wife of Liu Daxiong, who has played with many Hong Kong actresses, she looked a little unnatural and avoided Jing Gao's glance. She has always been afraid of this young tycoon from the mainland.
In addition, many senior executives from large financial companies smiled and raised their glasses when they saw Jing Gao coming in, but no one took the initiative to say hello.
This is completely different from the treatment Jing Gao received after he came to Hong Kong two years ago and stepped on Li Jiacheng! At that time, Jing Gao was not only favored by business elites at the birthday party of Michael Kadoorie's granddaughter, but was also surrounded by many beautiful young and beautiful women.
Being ignored, Jing Gao didn't pay much attention and stopped in the living room.
"Mr. Jing, I saw the CEO of HSBC's Greater China region. I'm going to say hello and ask Clarence Blackett where that old man is." Wu Jingshu took the initiative to leave.
Wei Chenjun was wearing a pink and white evening dress. She has a plump and graceful figure of 1.72 meters, with convex curves. She has a good figure, towering peaks, and is extremely sexy. Duan De is a charming thirty-two-year-old beauty.
The lingering sadness on her brows had disappeared as her revenge was taken, and was replaced by a bright, happy smile.
Standing next to Jing Gao, he whispered softly: "Mr. Jing, that woman named Huang is not a good thing."
Jing Gao smiled and looked at Wu Jingshu, who was communicating with Huang Bijuan at the far end, and nodded gently.
As the CEO of HSBC Greater China, Huang Bijuan was responsible for the people in Juchang being detained in Maple Leaf Country. As a Chinese, he has a clear distinction between love and hate, and he will have to pay the price sooner or later! As for those who ride horses, capital has no borders, but capitalists have countries!
Moreover, this time Lanny Mellon took the lead in making things difficult for him, and HSBC was also jumping up and down.
The communication between Wu Jingshu and Huang Bijuan was not very pleasant. The two sides usually have some friction. Jiuge Capital is a global wealth management company headquartered in Hong Kong Island and competes with HSBC in some businesses.
Huang Bijuan mocked Wu Jingshu for nearly ten minutes with a gun and a stick, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, since you, Mr. Jing, want to see Mr. Blackett so much, then come with me! He is in the room inside. Rest. You're too late."
Wu Jingshu cursed in her heart, but she restrained herself on the surface and smiled, "I'll inform Mr. Jing."
Huang Bijuan smiled a little proudly and said, "Let's go there together. Speaking of which, Mr. Jing and I have never had a good chat."
Huang Bijuan's curiosity about Jing Gao was by no means a good intention, she just wanted to see Jing Gao's expression at this time. Passing through the luxurious living room, Huang Bijuan smiled and stretched out her hand, "Mr. Jing, we met again two years ago after a quick visit!"
She was the representative of HSBC at that time. She has worked at HSBC for many years and was promoted to CEO of Greater China in 2015. She is responsible for coordinating the work of mainland China, Hong Kong Island, Macao Island, and Bay Area.
She was a little proud at this time. There's something you can't ask face to face: Mr. Jing, are you satisfied with the surprise we gave you?
Jing Gao didn't show any emotion in his heart, smiled and shook hands with Huang Bijuan, "How are you, President Huang!"
Huang Bijuan smiled and said: "Mr. Jing, the news that you are buying shares of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is spreading. The Hong Kong government has regulations. Holding more than 5% of the shares of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange requires approval from the Finance Department of the Hong Kong government. Don't break the law. oh!"
The smile on Jing Gao's face slowly faded, he looked at Huang Bijuan with sharp eyes, and said indifferently: "President Huang, are you threatening me?"
He had to respond sternly to this topic. Rather than restraining emotions. Otherwise, the taste will change if it is spread out.
Huang Bijuan looked at Jing Gao without flinching at all, and said with a sweet smile: "Mr. Jing, I didn't! I'm just reminding you."
Jing Gao's voice was cold and he said word for word: "Thank you!"
Huang Bijuan's smile did not fade, she waved her hand, looked at the obviously angry Jing Gao with interest, and said, "Mr. Blackett has been waiting for you for a long time. Mr. Jing, please come with me!" She said, leading the way. But after taking two steps, I realized something was wrong.
Jing Gao did not follow.
She turned around and saw Jing Gao leaving towards the entrance of the hall with his entourage, and was immediately a little surprised.
this…
When Jing Gao saw Huang Bijuan's attitude and Siyue's phone call, he had no interest in going to see Blackett.
Originally, under normal circumstances, it would have been the British man who came to see him! A mere down-and-out businessman is simply not qualified. Since this thief is holding back his bad intentions, there is no need for him to test or exchange pleasantries.
If you want war, then I will give you war!
…
…
The news that Jing Gao only stayed for more than ten minutes at the dinner in the Jockey Club Building soon spread like wildfire.
This is in line with the outside world's perception of Jing Gao's tough image. Some people felt the pressure of his attitude.
The end of the year passes quickly. During the Spring Festival, Jing Gaofei returned to the capital and spent seven days with his pregnant wife Li Mengwei and his father-in-law and mother-in-law who came to the capital. After the working day, he returned to Hong Kong Island with his assistants and bodyguards and lived in a luxurious villa in Stanley.
The new general meeting of shareholders of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was held on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month at the headquarters building of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The moment of close combat has arrived.
