Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Led by the female receptionist and accompanied by Wang Bingsen, Liu Xu and his party came to the spacious and bright conference room.

Wang Bingsen had already prepared a series of reporting materials. He gently pressed the remote control, and the situation of the shipping company was immediately displayed on the large screen in the center of the conference room.

"Mr. Liu, please allow me to give you a detailed introduction," Wang Bingsen's voice was clear and powerful.

"Our company currently owns a total of 40 ships and cargo vessels, including three large oil tankers, seven container ships, and 3 bulk carriers."

“With a total tonnage of over 150 million tons, it is enough to rank among the top five in Hong Kong Island’s shipping sector.”

"In terms of market value, due to the negotiation turmoil between Hong Kong Island and the northern superpower, our company's market value has fallen to 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, but it still ranks among the top in the industry in Hong Kong Island."

"In terms of profit, our company's annual net profit is stable at around HK$100 million to HK$200 million, creating a generous return for shareholders."

At this point, Wang Bingsen paused and added: "Of course, now that the company has been delisted and privatized, all the profits from shipping belong to you."

"As for the company's business scope, it covers major voyages around the world, from Asia to Europe, from North America to South America, there are sporadic sightings of our ships."

Liu Xu listened very carefully and nodded from time to time to show his affirmation.

However, when he heard the company's size and market value, a hint of surprise flashed across Liu Xu's face. He did not expect that Robinson's shipping company was so valuable.

When he saw Robinson agreed so easily, he thought that the shipping company in the hands of the other party was just a small company with a few broken ships and a market value of a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars.

Now it seems that Robinson is really a real daughter slave. For Lu Xiaodie, he is willing to give up a huge fortune worth nearly 5 billion Hong Kong dollars. This fatherly love is touching.

After introducing the actual situation of the shipping company, Liu Xu and his party, accompanied by Wang Bingsen, came to Ap Lei Chau Pier.

Three behemoths - large oil tankers were quietly anchored in the port. Their bodies were huge and majestic, as if they were the overlords of the ocean.

Liu Xu stood at the dock, staring at the huge ships, with a gleam in his eyes.

These ships docked in the port are not only important assets of the company, but also an important support for its future development.

After visiting the oil tankers, he visited several container ships. Although these ships were not as large as oil tankers, their loading capacity and transportation efficiency were equally amazing.

During the rigorous process of boarding and inspecting the ship, Liu Xu, with a dignified yet friendly demeanor, summoned the captains and crews of all the ships anchored at the entrance of the alley to the spacious deck one by one.

Under the spotlight of everyone, he introduced his identity, background and style of doing things to each crew member in detail in a clear and powerful tone.

Ensure that everyone present has a deep understanding of his leadership philosophy and expectations.

Then, Liu Xu's words turned serious, and he gave all the crew members a direct and profound warning.

He stressed the importance of safety regulations and strict discipline, as well as the serious consequences he and his family would face if they violated any regulations.

However, Liu Xu did not let the heavy atmosphere last too long. After delivering the warning, he changed the subject and announced the good news of a salary increase.

Although the increased amount was only 500 Hong Kong dollars, it was still a considerable sum of money in the context of that era.

From the satisfaction and joy on the faces of the on-site staff, it can be seen that this unexpected "sweet date" has greatly boosted the team's morale and sense of belonging.

As the inspection came to an end, Liu Xu handed over the two hundred men he brought with him to Wang Bingsen, asking him to arrange the shipping company's security and the ship's escort and supervision.

As for himself, he took Tian Yang and the other two and reluctantly bid farewell to his Ap Lei Pier, and hurriedly set out on the journey to Tsim Sha Tsui.

In the Polonaise car, Liu Xu sat in the back seat, staring at the street scene that was rewinding rapidly like a movie film.

In his seemingly calm eyes, a hint of eagerness was inadvertently revealed.

He had not expected that the inspection work of the shipping company would be so lengthy and tedious. When he suddenly realized it, time had quietly come to six o'clock in the evening.

Thinking of the agreement with Mr. Mason, Liu Xu whispered to Tian Yangyi to slow down and reminded him that safety came first. Then he closed his eyes and rested his energy.

As the car gradually slowed down until it finally came to a steady stop, Liu Xu opened his eyes and saw the familiar scenes on both sides.

Liu Xu calmly pushed open the car door and stepped into the "Hao Zailai" restaurant with steady steps. When he approached the private room, he increased the speed of his steps and the weight of his landings.

As soon as he entered the box, Liu Xu first raised his hand to wipe away the non-existent sweat on his forehead. Then he took a big step and quickly walked towards Mason, his face full of sincere apology:

"Coach Mason, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm late!"

When Mason saw Liu Xu finally show up, he immediately stood up, stretched out his right hand and gently shook hands with him, without showing any dissatisfaction with Liu Xu's lateness on his face.

Take the initiative to introduce: "We actually just arrived not long ago. Come, let me introduce you.

He reached out and patted the shoulder of the middle-aged man who looked very similar to him and was sitting on his left. "This is my brother, Mike!"

Hearing this, Liu Xu looked at Mike, whose face was slightly gloomy, and understood that Mason's words were purely polite, meant to ease the awkward atmosphere in the box.

He took a teacup from the table, filled it with tea for both of them, then raised the cup and said to Mike sincerely:

"Mr. Mike, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long on our first meeting. I'd like to express my apology and respect to you with this cup of tea instead of wine."

Seeing this, Mike's originally gloomy expression eased a little. Seeing Liu Xu drink it up without hesitation, he also picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I hope Mr. Liu's sense of time can improve in the future. After all, mealtime is for eating, not for drinking."

There was a barely perceptible hint of tolerance in Mike's tone.

If his brother Mason wanted to introduce someone else this time, Mike would probably have been unable to suppress his displeasure and would have walked away in anger, and would never have sat there for a long time, wasting his time.

This was the first time since he was promoted to Senior Superintendent of the Police Force that he had been forced to wait for more than an hour during a meeting.

The name "Liu Xu" has been lingering in Mike's ears like a spring breeze and rain in recent times.

Not only did he gain the favor of the British Duke Alexander's family through Windsor, but even his immediate superior Galen praised him highly.

That's why Mike waited patiently in the box for Liu Xu to arrive, and his expression eased after Liu Xu offered him tea and apologized.

Mason smiled and interrupted the topic, further breaking the subtle atmosphere in the box: "Mr. Liu, since you are here, let's start ordering."

As soon as Mason finished speaking, the waiter pushed the door open at the right time, holding an exquisite menu in his hand, and stood respectfully by the side waiting for instructions.

Seeing this, Liu Xu took the menu and handed it to Mike, apologizing again: "Mr. Mike, you can order the dishes tonight, I'll just do whatever I want."
