The next day.
morning.
Shengxing Teahouse.
Huang Shitong sat in the private room on the third floor of the teahouse and made an appointment with all the rich and powerful people in Hong Kong to have morning tea together.
Luxury cars drove from the luxury area of Central to Wing On Street. Bodyguards in suits and leather shoes guarded the gates and back streets. A waiter and chef in work clothes were busy preparing refreshments.
Li Chaoren, Mr. Guo, Mr. Huo and other fourteen people, the top fifteen richest people in Hong Kong, all arrived at Wing On Street around eight o'clock. And was escorted by bodyguards into the tea room and came to the dining table on the third floor.
The other wealthy people arrived earlier, while Li Chaoren and Mr. Guo went upstairs together.
"Li Sheng, Guo Sheng, sit down here and drink tea." Huang Shitong got up early in the morning, wearing a white Tang suit, and was talking to Mr. Huo with his head turned. Seeing Li Chaoren and Mr. Guo, who were the heaviest people, arriving, they quickly stood up and pulled out the chairs next to them, motioning for the two big bosses to sit down.
"Atong."
"Huang Sheng." Li Chaoren and Huang Shitong had a close friendship, and their titles were more cordial. Mr. Guo and Huang Shitong were just acquaintances, and their titles were more formal.
By the time both of them sat down, all the richest men in Hong Kong had arrived. Among them, in terms of strength, Li Chaoren is the first, Mr. Guo is the second, and Huang Shitong is the third.
If he wasn't sitting in the third position, he wouldn't be qualified to invite the top fifteen richest people in Hong Kong to sit at a table as the host.
As for Hong Kong's richest people after the fifteenth, their total wealth is much different from the top fifteen. Moreover, they are all wealthy people from "Hong Kong Island" and have very few foreign exchange reserves. There is no need to invite them at all.
Now that everyone is here, it’s time to start drinking tea. Huang Shitong consulted everyone's opinions, and after unanimously deciding to have Pu'er tea, he waved to the waiter at the door: "Tea."
The waiters carried teacups and helped the big bosses present to pour tea one by one. The big bosses leaned back on their chairs with the presence of the old gods, tapped the table with their fingers, watched the aroma of tea rise, and took a long breath: "Well... this tea is good."
The focus of morning tea is "tea". The reason why this teahouse is favored by big bosses is because the tea they brew is very particular. I specially asked the master to go to the mainland to collect it and store it in a tea cellar to ensure that the fragrance of the tea leaves does not dissipate.
In the tea room, fifteen big bosses were wearing various clothes. Some wear Tang suits, some wear sportswear, suits, and Chinese tunic suits. Because they have long since passed it, they have to use their appearance to package their level, do whatever they want, as long as everyone is happy.
And because the number of people was slightly larger, Huang Shiyong did not arrange for everyone to sit at a large round table, but divided them into three small round tables, which were placed in a "pin" shape next to the wooden carved fence of the teahouse. Looking down, you can just see the pedestrians passing by and breathe in the fresh morning air.
Soon, hot refreshments were placed on the dining table, and they were drinking tea at home while chatting, exchanging information on the recent market. This information is often worth tens of millions, and as long as you follow the trend and make a fortune, you can make a lot of money.
The owner of the teahouse stood nearby, pricking up his ears and listening attentively. In the past, when these big bosses drank tea, he made no less money. But at that time there were only one or two big bosses, but now there are more than a dozen big bosses gathered together. If you can hear some big news, you might be able to make a fortune.
Even the teahouse owner noticed that there was big news, and the big bosses here certainly knew it. They knew that Huang Shitong had invited them to meet here today, and there must be some big business to discuss.
Sure enough, after Huang Shitong saw the big bosses eat something, he put down the chopsticks in his hands and spoke to everyone with a smile: "Li Sheng, Guo Sheng, I don't know if you have heard of any big moves in the financial world recently. ?”
Li Chaoren and Mr. Guo looked at each other and said with smiles: "A Tong, are you talking about Wall Street's actions?"
Although they are engaged in industry, whenever an industry reaches the top, it is inevitable to deal with finance.
They must have heard about things on Wall Street.
It's just that Huang Shitong is a banker in the financial world of Hong Kong Island. He needs to take the lead in how to deal with specific matters.
"Well, we speculate that Wall Street wants to start a war with Asia." Huang Shitong took a sip of tea and said a few words that shocked the fourteen big bosses present.
"You mean a financial war? A financial war against Asia?" Mr. Huo's expression changed, he put down the custard bun in his hand and looked directly at Huang Shitong.
To become the top fifteen richest people in Hong Kong Island, they are all top bosses in a certain industry in Hong Kong Island.
Not only are they proficient in their own industry, but they also have a very broad vision.
As soon as I hear the word financial war and think of the recent actions of Wall Street, I instantly come back...
Hit the street! Are those people on Wall Street treating Asia as a pigsty? The wealth you have worked so hard to accumulate is just being robbed by you like this?
"Huang Sheng, what do you think we should do?"
"Huang Sheng, you landlords should take up this matter!"
"I support the landlords to fight Wall Street to the end!" The bosses at the three tables spoke out in unison, each word filled with murderous intent.
Now that he has spoken out, Huang Shitong no longer needs to hide it. After slightly nodding, he directly said in a solemn voice: "We, the landowners and the bankers of Hong Kong Island Financial, will definitely take care of this matter."
"I called everyone here today because I hope everyone will support me. I want U.S. dollars! I want money!"
"Li Sheng, you are the leader of our Hong Kong businessmen. I hope you will make a statement."
When mentioning money, Huang Shitong emphasized his tone, and the bosses present turned their attention to Li Chaoren. Li Chaoren knows that he occupies the position of a boss, so he should take on the responsibilities of a boss. At this time, he raised the tea cup in his hand, stood up, looked around at everyone and said, "I will take the lead. Each person has 100 million US dollars in foreign exchange. Anyone who is willing to pay will drink tea together."
"Don't want to pay? Turn left when you go out and get out of the way!" Li Chaoren pointed towards the door sharply. His decisive attitude was really shocking.
Because this matter is related to the justice of the family and the country.
Even if Li Chaoren and Huang Shitong don't know each other, he will definitely support them as long as the other party comes to him.
Now he not only has a good personal relationship with Huang Shitong, but Huang Shitong also helped him a lot when his son was kidnapped. Now that there is a chance, Li Chaoren will definitely help Huang Shitong to support the scene.
What I said just now was more than just a statement. But he was telling them clearly that if they don't pay this amount, they won't give him the face of Li Chaoren, and he is not worthy of being a Hong Kong businessman!
Although the big bosses here are all in their fifties or sixties, with gray hair on their temples and some inconveniences in their legs and feet.
But after listening to Li Chaoren's words, they quickly stood up from their chairs, raised their teacups, and turned their attention to Huang Shitong at the main table.
These big bosses did not feel embarrassed by Li Chaoren's ruthless attitude just now, but took it for granted.
Because this group of people and big bosses have all experienced that war-torn era, and they know deeply that this financial war is no less than an invasion.
When you encounter something that is engraved in your bones like "the righteousness of family and country", you have to show some courage. How can you survive without a little courage? Fence-sitters are not allowed in a war, not even a financial war!
So now, these big bosses are holding up their tea cups and loudly saying: "Drink tea! Let's drink tea together!"
"Okay! Have tea!" Li Chaoren saw that no one refused to pay, and his face became more smiley. It seems that the backbone of Hong Kong businessmen is still there to this day.
Huang Shitong stood up and drank a cup of tea, sincerely thanking him: "Thank you brothers for your support! This time, our landlord association would rather die than delist!"
"What a man who would rather die than be delisted!" Mr. Guo, Mr. Huo and others applauded and sat down on the chairs to continue eating tea.
You know, one person has 100 million US dollars, although it does not account for a large proportion of their wealth and assets.
But many of those assets are real estate and corporate properties...
Being able to spend 100 million US dollars in cash and foreign exchange alone is already a big deal for them!
Some big bosses with lower rankings and poor turnover even need to dispose of some assets. If Huang Shitong took the money and ran away within a few days of fighting, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood and put a reward on Huang Shitong's life.
Now that Huang Shitong shouted "I would rather die than delist", it was equivalent to giving them a guarantee and making everyone feel relieved.
Soon, after having breakfast for more than half an hour, the big bosses began to leave one by one. Huang Shitong personally escorted everyone out. When Li Chaoren also left the tea room, he let out a long sigh of relief.
For an old man of his age, one negotiation is enough to consume most of his energy, not to mention that there is a speech waiting for him in the afternoon.
Alas, this is probably Huang Shitong's last financial war in this life...
"You must take good care of yourself after this battle, otherwise you will lose a lot of life." Huang Shitong shook his head, waved to his assistant to pay the bill, and then walked out of the teahouse.
The owner of Shengxing Teahouse watched these big guys leave. He recalled the scene in the teahouse just now. He took out his mobile phone and said secretly: "To sell stocks, you must sell the stocks in your hand. I lost 100,000 before and I still want to pay back." I can’t bear it, if I don’t show up now, I’m afraid I’ll lose hundreds of millions.”
He had always made money by listening to news before. Unexpectedly, this time he saved his life by relying on the news from the big bosses.
However, bosses are shrewd. I remembered Huang Shitong's words "I would rather die than delist" just now. After thinking about it, I bought some shares of Yihui Group.
As one of the few strong stocks left in Hong Kong, the teahouse owner bought a little bit, but he actually felt a little uninterested: "Damn, I bought all three million! I think I support you, Uncle Tong!"
"Don't let me down, otherwise the teahouse will not be able to continue operating." For the teahouse owner, a loss of three million Hong Kong dollars is only a year's profit. If the financial war really fails and everyone loses their jobs, how can the teahouse continue to operate? Who has money for morning tea?
