Chapter 607: 591 Righteous Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu expresses support for HSBC Big Boss, Li Boss wants to

While on the phone communicating with Big Boss Ainuoer, he was also pulling the hotel's surveillance footage.

The Peninsula Hotel had many surveillance cameras, and they quickly located the culprit.

The footage captured by the surveillance was very clear, almost a close-up shot.

Then they began to screen for who it could be.

After a round of searching, they couldn't find the person.

Then the police began to intervene to investigate the culprit.

The boss of the Kadoorie family was very angry; the Peninsula Hotel was truly caught in the crossfire, being too damn innocent.

……

……

At noon,

ATV News began its broadcast.

"Citizens, we are now broadcasting a very explosive piece of news..."

"Just this morning at the Peninsula Hotel, Mr. Ainuoer, the Big Boss of HSBC Holdings, was attacked by a man..."

"The location of the attack was in the restroom of the Peninsula Hotel's French restaurant..."

"The following are the photos from the scene..."

Crowd of onlookers excited·jpg

"From the photos at the scene, we can clearly see Mr. Ainuoer's face is bruised and swollen, and he has suffered serious injuries."

At this moment,

In every household, company cafeteria, and tea restaurant across Hong Kong, after seeing this,

The citizens and neighbors all stretched their necks in unison.

What?

The Big Boss of HSBC was beaten up?

There's such explosive news?

Their gazes all turned toward the television.

"Currently, Mr. Ainuoer has been sent to the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital for treatment..."

"Coincidentally, Mr. Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu of the Five Star Group was also dining at the Peninsula Hotel, and upon hearing the news, he rushed over..."

"The following is our station's interview with Mr. Guan..."

The camera focused on the handsome Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu,

In the footage, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had a serious expression.

His impassioned voice came through the television,

"In Hong Kong, we have always emphasized the spirit of the rule of law!"

"In a society governed by law, any form of violent attack should not be tolerated. This behavior is not only a serious infringement on personal safety but also a smear on Hong Kong's image of safety and stability."

"Regardless of the attacker's motive, resorting to such extreme violent means is a public trampling of law and morality."

"We strongly condemn this violent attack and also hope that the police can quickly launch an investigation, bring the culprit to justice as soon as possible, return justice to the victim, give society an explanation, and maintain Hong Kong's good legal environment and social order."

Resonant and powerful!

Righteous and awe-inspiring!

As the citizens of Hong Kong listened to this voice and looked at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, who was finding it harder to suppress the corners of his mouth than an AK-47...

All the citizens of Hong Kong: "............"

Black lines hung down!

Their hearts roared: Could you please suppress that upturned corner of your mouth while saying these things!

Is this concern? This is gloating!

Ten thousand old complaints were stuck in their throats, not knowing how to spit them out.

At this moment, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu added another sentence: "I, as a person, am always inclined toward kindness and hate seeing such illegal acts. I am personally putting up a reward of 100,000 HKD!"

All the citizens of Hong Kong: "............"

For a moment, they couldn't tell if Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was sincere or gloating.

The composition of this is too complex!

ATV host Wen Huixin: "Currently, the police have received the report, retrieved the surveillance footage, and confirmed the culprit..."

"The police have officially issued a wanted notice, offering a reward of 1 million HKD for the capture of this culprit. Citizens who recognize this culprit, please provide clues as soon as possible!"

……

……

At the same time,

Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, high-end VIP ward,

"Bang~~~"

Ainuoer lay on the hospital bed, his entire face bruised and purple, wrapped in bandages, looking extremely wretched.

On the television screen, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's righteous face kept zooming in, and his impassioned voice of condemnation echoed in the ward.

"Bang!"

Ainuoer slammed his hand onto the bedside water glass, using all his strength to throw it at the television.

The glass shattered, sharp shards splattered onto the floor, and coffee flowed down the wall, just like his broken and chaotic state of mind at this moment.

And the television, relying on its thick cathode-ray tube glass, remained unscathed.

It continued to play the news.

"This hypocrite!"

Ainuoer flew into a rage, veins bulging on his forehead; the pain of his wounds seemed to be masked by this full-blown fury.

"Would he be so kind? Only a ghost would believe that!"

The secretary hid to the side, not daring to speak.

Ainuoer looked at the secretary, his eyes cold: "You tell me! Does this matter have anything to do with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu? Was the culprit sent by him?"

The secretary said weakly: "Boss, currently... currently there is no evidence to suggest it has anything to do with Mr. Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu..."

Actually, the secretary felt the possibility of it being Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was very small.

Because ATV broadcast the wanted notice directly, and with ATV's viewership ratings, this person's identity would be found very quickly.

And Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu even offered a reward of 100,000 HKD!

So it could be inferred that this matter had nothing to do with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

But the secretary didn't dare say this to Ainuoer, who was in a fit of rage.

"Fuck!"

Ainuoer cursed loudly.

……

Given HSBC's unparalleled status in Hong Kong, the news of the big boss Ainuoer being pressed into a restroom and beaten up spread rapidly throughout Hong Kong.

On the streets, in tea restaurants, and in office buildings, citizens were excitedly eating melons.

In the stock market, when the afternoon session opened, HSBC's stock price fell directly.

Ainuoer: "............"

He closed his eyes in despair, feeling as if his soul had been sucked away.

This Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is too evil!

……

……

"This Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu... is too evil..."

Cheung Kong Group,

Li Boss watched the television, his gaze deep.

An old steed in the stable still aspires to gallop a thousand miles.

During this period, he had been keeping a low profile, not stirring up any waves in the outside world.

He even tried to avoid that bastard Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu whenever he went out.

Because he was afraid that just because he didn't greet Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, he would be kicked by him.

The lesson from the Watsons convenience store was too painful!

Over the past few months, a Five Star convenience store had opened next to every Watsons convenience store in Hong Kong.

And then...

Watsons convenience store's sales dropped to 20%!

It had almost fallen to nothing!

As for the Watsons Group, with the collapse of its supermarkets and convenience stores, its market value had changed from the previous 20-30 billion to 4 billion now.

If he wanted to sell it, he estimated he couldn't even sell it for 2 billion.

In short, it was miserable!

"This Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu will definitely dominate Hong Kong in the future..."

"So, I must leave."

He pulled a document from the pile of files stacked on his desk.

"HIT Holdings Statistical Report"

This document was submitted by HIT Holdings recently regarding their statistical situation.

HIT Holdings was a wholly-owned holding company under him, specializing in the operation of port terminals.

Currently, his terminals were mainly located at — Kwai Chung Container Terminal in Kowloon.

Kwai Chung Container Terminal in Kowloon is one of the busiest container hubs in the world. In 1993, it handled over 90% of Hong Kong's 9.62 million TEUs, accounting for 10% of the global container throughput.

Among them, Terminals 4, 6, 7, and 9 belonged to Li Boss, operated by HIT, possessing 18 deep-water berths.

This company was established in 1969 by the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Company. That's right, it was that Hutchison Whampoa, which was subsequently acquired by Li Boss in 1979, then integrated into a wholly-owned holding, becoming Li Boss's core asset.

It mainly served ocean-going routes, covering European, American, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern markets, and was the core channel for "Made in China" exports.

For example, in 1993, 70% of the export containers from the Pearl River Delta were transshipped through here.

At this time, the terminal landscape in Hong Kong was as follows:

In addition to the Kwai Chung Container Terminal in Kowloon, there were the following three types:

2. Mid-stream operation terminals: In the Victoria Harbour anchorage and typhoon shelters, about 2,000 barges and lighters were engaged in the loading and unloading of non-containerized goods, accounting for 15% of Hong Kong's cargo volume. Their characteristics were slow and small.

3. River trade terminals: In 1993, the Tuen Mun River Trade Terminal was in the trial operation stage, mainly handling containerized goods from the Pearl River Delta (such as light industrial products from Guangzhou and Foshan), with an annual throughput of about 200,000 TEUs.

4. Western District Public Cargo Working Area: Mainly handled bulk goods such as building materials and food, with an annual throughput of about 5 million tons, operated by several local enterprises under sub-leases.

5. Tsing Yi Island Oil Depot Terminal: Hong Kong's only liquid chemical terminal, with a storage capacity of 3 million cubic meters in 1993, serving the petrochemical industry in the Pearl River Delta.

From this, it can be seen that,

Li Boss's cargo terminals accounted for about 40% of Hong Kong's cargo transportation.

As for the market value,

Given the status of Li Boss's terminals, they were worth at least 50 billion or so.

"Although my current terminals have a very high level of importance..."

"At least in the next 5-10 years, they won't be replaced..."

"But if Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu really intervenes in the cargo terminal project, he can completely rely on his massive public opinion and support rate to raise funds from all of Hong Kong to open up new deep-water channel cargo terminals."

Hong Kong is surrounded by sea on three sides...

Places where terminals and ports can be built are everywhere.

And don't forget about land reclamation projects.

For example, the new airport was built next to Lantau Island by hard-won land reclamation.

The difficulty of building a terminal is dozens or hundreds of times smaller than building an airport. As for construction costs, 8 billion might be enough. If commercial real estate development is also included, construction costs can be significantly compressed.

Li Boss made a phone call and summoned his eldest son and second son.

"Dad!" *2

"Sit..."

"You've both seen the news about the HSBC big boss just now, right..."

"We saw it."

Li Boss: "Tell me your thoughts?"

Li eldest son: "It shouldn't be Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu who did it. If he did it, it couldn't be so blatant..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Li Boss: "I'm not asking about this. I'm asking you, this Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu..."

The Li second son and Li eldest son were surprised for a moment.

The Li second son thought of something and quickly said: "Dad, I think Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's strength is getting stronger and stronger now. It's like a snowball rolling; now even HSBC is no match for him, and he will definitely be harder to deal with in the future... Dad, are you talking about the port?"

The Li eldest son woke up and quickly said: "Dad, this port cannot be sold. If we sell it, we lose the big market of the East."

The Li second son shook his head: "No, it will definitely be lost... Since we have already made the North dissatisfied, and the North has the Five Star Group as a substitute for us, they definitely won't hand over the lifeline of the port to us..."

"I dare to be certain that at the earliest in the 9*s, the North will definitely take action... Either they will acquire our port at a low price, or they will build their own port."

At this moment, the Li family's position is truly awkward.

Because when they acquired Hutchison Whampoa, in order to acquire the 6.5 billion Hutchison Whampoa with 630 million in assets, the Li family reached a secret deal with HSBC.

This is also the reason why the Li family has been wavering over the past ten years.

And now,

It's awkward.

The North is already very dissatisfied with the Li family.

If there were no Five Star Group, it would be fine; they would just have to pinch their noses and accept it, letting the Li family take advantage and get benefits.

Now that there is the Five Star Group, with a red heart, how could they still let the Li family take advantage and get benefits?
