Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

Soft-hearted people can't enforce discipline! This is a job that offends people!

Xia Zhixian is indeed well-informed.

He continued, "I heard that more than 60 police officers were dismissed at that time."

The dismissal of more than 60 police officers at once is simply a disaster!

The corruption at Scotland Yard is truly shocking!

"When the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, Sir Yan also provided relevant opinions." Lu Wendong nodded secretly.

After the Sino-British agreement on the return of Hong Kong Island was finalized,

The police force immediately replaced people like Yan Liguo, which meant they were going to make a big move.

Fortunately, I took the initiative to integrate the Hong character, otherwise,

Who knows, he might confront Yan Liguo directly.

At most, they would just fight from a distance.

"Mr. Xia, let's play basketball together then." Xia Zhixian's face suddenly broke into a smile.

The effort you put in is still useful.

"Mr. Lu, let me introduce a friend to you."

Lu Wendong had noticed a forty-year-old foreigner standing not far away, and his eyes would occasionally look towards him.

Wait for Xia Zhixian to speak,

The ghost man came closer: "Lu Sheng."

Xia Zhixian then introduced: "Ma Shimin, former director of Hutchison Whampoa, and boss of Zengyao Co., Ltd." Lu Wendong laughed: "Boss Ma, then we have a close relationship."

Hutchison Whampoa and Wheelock have a very good relationship, and their shares overlap.

only,

Hutchison Whampoa boss Qi Dezun was a bit greedy and reckless before, which resulted in most of Hutchison Whampoa shares being pledged to HSBC, and later sold to Li Huanggua by HSBC.

Just now, Lu Wendong greeted Li Huanggua.

The head of one of the four major families is quite humble and amiable.

Ma Shimin shook Lu Wendong's hands with both hands: "Mr. Ma Deng told me that Wheelock has been owned by Mr. Lu."

Xia Zhixian was stunned. What does this mean?

Wheelock is owned by Mr. Lu? I've never heard of it!

Lu Wendong smiled and said, "Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." "Boss Ma, I've heard of your great name for a long time."

Lu Wendong had naturally heard of Ma Shimin's name for a long time.

This Lord was once the most important boss of Hutchison Whampoa. Under his governance,

Hutchison Whampoa has become one of the top three companies in Hong Kong by market capitalization.

He also facilitated Hutchison Whampoa's acquisition of Hong Kong Electric and Canada's Husky Oil Business, and led Hutchison Whampoa to enter the mobile communications business.

This indirectly contributed to the 10 billion yuan sale of Orange Century during the dot-com boom in 2000. The most interesting point is that

This man was once a member of the Law and Order Foreign Legion.

He served there for 5 years!

No wonder Lu Wendong felt that he had a military aura.

Xia Zhixian secretly pulled Huang Shitong away: "Brother Tong, Wheelock?"

Huang Shitong nodded with a smile: "It has belonged to Mr. Lu for a long time. You know, Mr. Lu is a low-key person." Xia Zhixian was shocked.

Then he sighed sincerely: "Mr. Lu is really a low-key person."

Huang Shitong smiled. "That's Mr. Lu's style. Acquisitions are done without the smoke of war or the glint of swords." "Superhuman, superbly intelligent. Truly a clash of masters."

Xia Zhixian was full of admiration. He thought to himself,

Mr. Lu is really low-key!

If I hadn't been lucky enough to introduce Ma Shimin, I probably wouldn't have known about this!

Think again,

Xia Zhixian was suddenly startled!

Mr. Lu controls Wheelock, Chinese Estates, and the Grand Hotel Group, as well as the Overseas Trust Bank.

Plus, they are currently acquiring Hang Lung... In terms of momentum,

In Hong Kong, the only one who can surpass Mr. Lu is

I'm afraid it's only HSBC and Jardine Matheson! This...

Xia Zhixian was stunned!

Lu Wendong had already reached an agreement with Ma Shimin in just a few words.

This guy is a good worker, but not a good boss.

The company he founded after leaving Hutchison Whampoa has average performance.

After hearing Ma Deng talk about Lu Wendong, he became interested.

It just so happened that Lu Wendong had also been studying Wheelock's affairs recently.

He needed someone who was familiar with Wheelock but not Wheelock to manage the company. Ma Shimin came at the right time.

"Mr. Ma."

Lu Wendong was very happy.

He felt that the trip to the Governor's dinner was well worth it.

No wonder Westerners love to hold these kinds of dinner salons, socializing, socializing,

It was at these kinds of banquets that people exchanged information about talent and wealth. "Wheelock is in your hands."

Lu Wendong called Huang Shitong and said, "Uncle Tong, Mr. Ma will be the CEO of Wheelock's board of directors from now on. You and Mr. Luo will help with the relevant procedures." "Congratulations, congratulations."

Huang Shiren also knew Ma Shimin,

I know that this foreign guy is as capable as that company doctor Wei Li. Unfortunately, Wei Li is too arrogant.

Just think about starting your own business, otherwise,

That person is more suitable than Ma Shimin. "Thank you."

Ma Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lu Wendong doesn't accept him, he has already thought about returning to Hutchison.

"Lu Sheng."

After hearing that Lu Wendong actually controlled Wheelock, Xia Zhixian became very respectful.

He said softly, "Your Excellency is here." Your Excellency is the Governor,

In such occasions,

Only he has this title. Lu Wendong looked up,

A group of people were walking out of the Governor's Mansion.

The leader was an old man with a high nose and deep eyes. He was the 26th Governor of Hong Kong, Youde. He was surrounded by foreigners.

Occasionally there are a few Chinese people,

One of them was a woman. In the 1960s,

Due to the rise of local industry,

Women were able to leave their families and work in factories to earn wages.

Later, women began to rise and gradually became a trend.

Hong Kong took advantage of the situation and began to arrange for some women to enter civil service positions, the most typical of which were the handbag party.

The origin of this is the farewell dinner for the 25th Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, who returned to China after completing his term.

A group of female senior officials went on stage to sing while carrying handbags, and were subsequently ridiculed by the media as the "Handbag Party".

Wow, wow, wow,

The applause was like thunder,

Everyone rushed to get closer to Youde.

Lu Wendong looked at the scene in front of him expressionlessly. He thought that Youde's demeanor was no less than that of a dictator. The person standing closest to Youde was Yan Liguo.

The Governor's dinner today is supposed to be a welcome for Hong Kong's top security commander, Yan Liguo. "Ladies and gentlemen."

Youde said with a smile, "I am very pleased to have you all here. At the same time, I have good news to announce to everyone. Sir Ngan has officially assumed the post of Commissioner of Police." Ngan Liguo saluted: "It is my duty to maintain law and order in Hong Kong."

At the earliest,

The Hong Kong Police Force implements military law, and its senior officers are all from the British Army.

Later, it gradually changed to transferring police officers from London and Commonwealth colonies to take up the post. The main purpose was naturally to prevent the police force from becoming someone's private domain.

Among so many serving police commissioners,

Yan Liguo is the first person to come from a professional disciplinary department.

Lu Wendong thought,

Da Ying is indeed a troublemaker.

When things are irreversible, we must stop immediately! However,

Lu Wendong sneered in his heart, as long as he was here,

This troublemaker won't succeed! After Yan Liguo finished speaking,

Youde said again: "I have another good news to announce."

He took a list handed to him by someone beside him and began to announce: "The following individuals are hereby appointed as non-official Justices of the Peace."

Non-official means not holding a position in the Hong Kong government.

The first one is actually Lu Wendong?

Everyone immediately applauded.

Lu Wendong was also a little surprised.

Is this the Hong Kong government showing goodwill to him? He nodded with a smile.

Youde continued with a smile: "Li Huanggua, Shadantong... He named five people in one breath.

Then, after a pause, he said, "Since Hong Kong's current affairs still require the assistance of gentlemen and ladies, I propose to add additional non-official members to the Urban Council."

"The appointment is now announced." "Lu Wendong..."

Everyone's expressions were suddenly shocked. Is Lu Wendong leading the group again?

The Hong Kong government's intention to win over is too obvious. But if you think about it carefully,

Mr. Lu easily summoned tens of thousands of people to surround Shark Gallbladder Tong, who has been known as the bravest of sharks for decades! His power is evident!

I heard that after this Shark Dantong suffered a great loss, he even dared not fart!

Thinking of this,

Some people couldn't help but look at Shark Dantong.

His face was gloomy.

It was hard to see any emotion. After Youde announced the appointment,

Then he looked at Lu Wendong with a smile and said, "Mr. Lu, Hong Kong will need more help from now on." Lu Wendong said loudly, "I am a Hong Konger, and I should contribute to the benefit of the people here."

Ding!

Tip: Congratulations to the host for becoming a non-official Justice of the Peace and a non-official member of the Municipal Council, and you are receiving rewards.

Tip: Your treasure house has been expanded to 10 cubic meters. Lu Wendong's heart moved slightly.

Is there a reward for this kind of social honor? If it was in the 1950s and 1960s,

The positions of non-official councillors and non-official justices of the peace are absolutely the most exclusive! For example, Yan Chengkun of the Yan family,

He received these appointments one after another with the support of a large number of coolies under his command, and is recognized as a Teochew tycoon!

The four great detectives, the four great families, and so on, wouldn't even dare to raise their heads in front of Yan Chengkun!

unfortunately,

Times have changed,

At present, these two positions are at most social honors, without much actual rights.

At most, it is just a voice or something. In terms of actual power,

Still can't catch up with Zhou Weiqiang who was selected! Of course,

Even if it's just honor, it's not so easy to get.

For example, the four major families such as Li Huanggua and Sha Dantong did not have such appointments.

As soon as the appointments were announced, the ball officially began.

You De first took the initiative to shake hands with Lu Wendong,

He said gently, "Mr. Lu, thank you for your contribution to stabilizing the financial order." Youde was naturally talking about the Overseas Trust Bank.

The ICAC is a purely law enforcement agency.

After receiving the report, we will investigate the Overseas Trust Bank’s cheque wheel scam!

In terms of responsibility, there is no doubt!

but,

Politically speaking,

It's like a baby who hasn't learned to walk yet!

What the Hong Kong government wants is not to uncover the scam and find out the real culprit,

Rather, we hope that Hong Kong's financial order can be maintained and remain stable!

Instead of stirring up trouble like the ICAC did. In the case of Overseas Trust Bank,

The Hong Kong government is on Lu Wendong's side. If the Overseas Trust Bank goes bankrupt,

It is very likely to deal a heavy blow to the Hong Kong Island economy which is on the rise!

This is also a factor in the honor Lu Wendong received today.

Lu Wendong said, "Benefiting Hong Kong has always been my pursuit." Youde smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay."

far away,

The four major families that originally guarded their own areas like the Four Heavenly Kings actually gathered together quietly, and Yan Jie Qiang was among them.

These four families do not get along with each other.

But today they suddenly got together for a drink, thanks to Yan Jieqiang's help.

It's also because of a sense of crisis.

"The rise of the country in less than a year can wipe out decades of our achievements."

Li Laosi, one of the four major families, could not help but sigh: "It is really the case that the waves behind push the waves ahead."

He thought there should be another saying behind this: The new generation buries the old one!

This Lu Wendong's reputation today,

A small number of them got to the top by stepping on me. But what else can I do?

People are sunbathing!

He Xin wanted to attend the banquet today, but he turned back halfway.

It's nothing more than not wanting to see Lu Wendong! A descendant of the He family,

The descendant of the richest man in the South,

The gambling king who is so powerful in both Macau and Hong Kong doesn't even want to suffer this!

“I got wind of it.”

Li Huanggua, who has always been known for his composure, said slowly, "The man behind Wheelock is this Mr. Lu." Everyone was shocked.

Among them, Shark Dantong couldn't wait to ask: "Isn't he an agent?"

Lu Wendong must be related to Wheelock! These families can confirm this!

But Lu Wendong is the mastermind behind Wheelock? 557 That's too shocking!

Wheelock is in decline again.

It was also one of the four most famous foreign companies in the business community, with a market capitalization exceeding 10 billion!

If we add Chinese Estates and major hotel groups,

Doesn't that mean that the market value of the assets held by Lu Wendong has exceeded 200 billion? Moreover,

I heard that Lu Wendong secretly controls the Overseas Trust Bank! If this is put on the line,

The market value of assets controlled by Lu Wendong has exceeded 300 billion! What does this mean?

The current market capitalization of Hong Kong-listed companies is only HK$300 billion! This means Lu Wendong owns one-tenth of the market capitalization!

This is what made Shark Dantong unable to hold back her words! And the most terrifying thing is,

This young man was also the leader of Hongxing! Yan Jieqiang was completely stunned: "How is that possible?"

Li Huanggua said quietly, "The shipping king told me when I was drinking tea with him." The shipping king was naturally the charter king.

When it acquired Wharf Holdings,

Li Huanggua directly gave him all his Wharf shares!

Later, the shipping magnate helped him to connect with HSBC, which enabled Li Huanggua to acquire Hutchison Whampoa.

For this reason,

Li Huanggua is the only one among the four major families who has a good relationship with the charter king! That's right,

The chaebols in Hong Kong are also divided into different categories.

For example, these four major families can actually be included in Guangdong, and can be said to be local households.

The charter king is a real outsider.

He was the one who came from Shanghai and rose to prominence in Hong Kong! He has no connections with the locals!

Yan Jieqiang and others changed color.

The charter king has always been on good terms with Wheelock and knows a lot about the inside story.

Based on his status,

Of course, there is no need to lie here. Everyone was stunned.

Li Laosi suddenly sighed, "No wonder he's so proud today. He's a newly rising tycoon, so the Hong Kong government naturally wants to win him over."

In Hong Kong Island, money means power.

No doubt!

A group of people looked at each other, and suddenly,
