Chapter 184 Public opinion is useful. What is the point of foreigners in Hong Kong?
"Public opinion in Hong Kong is one-sided, and everyone is speaking for Chen Wen. I am also wondering who is really speaking for Mr. Chen."
“I thought about some actresses from Hong Kong Island, and I also thought about others.
"But I never expected that the person behind Chen Wen would be Ms. Tang Judy, the chairman of Shiqi Real Estate Company."
Li Chaoren took a puff of his cigar slowly.
Through the hazy smoke, one gets a sense of unfathomable mystery.
His words surprised Hong Xiaolian who was standing next to him.
I originally thought that Tang Judi, chairman of Shiqi Real Estate Company, might have some connection with Li Chaoren.
But he didn't expect that Tang Judi came here to seek justice for Chen Wen.
"Ms. Tang, there is a misunderstanding. It's me..."
Hong Xiaolian was just speaking halfway when she was stopped by Li Chaoren.
Li Chaoren continued slowly, "Ms. Tang, you're not here for your business, right, Miss Tang?"
The news of Chen Wen's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa leaked out.
Hong Xiaolian was also involved in this.
The relationship between Chen Wen and Tang Zhudi is very close.
There is no doubt that in the eyes of Hong Xiaolian or even any ordinary person, everyone came here for this matter.
However, Tang Judy is not an ordinary person. How could she hold on to such a small matter in the face of major issues?
Therefore, Tang Judy's appearance must be for other reasons.
"It seems that Mr. Li really has a share in the war of public opinion."
"No, to be precise, it should be the work of Ms. Hong Xiaolian, Mr. Li's secretary."
When Tang Zhudi said this, Hong Xiaolian's heart almost jumped into her throat with nervousness.
Just when she was extremely nervous.
I only heard Tang Judi continue to say: "However, Mr. Li is right. I didn't come here today to care about this matter. I want to know, Chen Wen is now in the Commercial Crime Investigation Department. Is it Mr. Li's work?"
Hearing this, the expression on Li Chaoren's face remained as calm and composed as usual.
But Hong Xiaolian, who was standing next to her, looked extremely nervous.
There was no way! Li Chaoren did warn Hong Xiaolian not to interfere in this matter, but Hong Xiaolian still did it.
There was even a point where Tang Judi thought that this was the work of Li Chaoren.
Bystanders could see that this was all trouble she had caused.
"Heh~ I guessed you would think so. It seems that you are also aware of the bet between Chen Wen and me?"
"The relationship between Miss Tang and Chen Wen is indeed not an ordinary one. They even told you about such a bet. When will they hold the wedding?"
Li Chaoren spoke slowly.
Obviously, his face showed a nonchalant expression from beginning to end, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
However, every word he said was off topic. He did not pick up on what Tang Judy was saying, but instead talked about all sorts of nonsense.
"Mr. Li, I wonder if you can answer this question for me?"
Tang Judy got straight to the point.
That’s right! Chen Wen was taken away by the Commercial Crime Bureau for unknown reasons.
Given the current situation, Tang Zhudi has no other choice but to eliminate them one by one.
Li Chaoren, who had a bet with Chen Wen, was naturally the first choice.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Li Chaoren is more troublesome and easier to deal with than the other one.
"Ms. Tang has already become the chairman of Shiqi Real Estate Company, why is she still so naive?"
"I'm transferring my shares to Mr. Chen. Do you think I'm really giving them away?"
"To be honest, I expected Mr. Chen to not be able to get these shares. If they were in his hands, they would only be eliminated in the first round. What should I worry about? I also want to thank him for blocking such a strong firepower for me."
Li Chaoren analyzed slowly and calmly.
With just a few words, he cleared himself from being a suspect in the incident.
Just as Li Chaoren said, according to the bet between Chen Wen and Li Chaoren.
Instead of focusing too much attention on Chen Wen at this time, it would be better to see other forces put pressure on Chen Wen.
In this way, they can directly take advantage of these benefits.
Why waste this trouble?
"It seems that my guess was correct. Li Chaoren had already anticipated that the acquisition of Wharf Holdings' shares might offend the British-Singapore Group."
"In your eyes, Chen Wen coming to your door at this time is no different from cannon fodder. Am I right?"
Tang Judy also directly expressed her own guess.
As she said, Wharf Holdings' shares are a tricky business no matter who owns them.
And if Chen Wen took it into his hands at this time, he would be targeted by other forces right after that. Wouldn't this be a mess?
It's even a mess that ordinary people can't clean up at all.
"Ms. Tang should know that when things cannot be changed, then we have to go with the flow."
"And hasn't Miss Tang already fought back? However, although I have no reason to help you, I still kindly remind you."
"If media hype and speeches are useful, then what's the point of talking about business? Just focus on the media. Then, Hong Kong Island will no longer be dominated by those foreigners!"
Li Chaoren spoke slowly.
But during this conversation, the blame for the case was inadvertently pointed at the foreigners.
That’s right! To this day, whether it’s the police station in Hong Kong Island or all walks of life, foreigners have the upper hand.
How could it be possible for a few Chinese real estate developers to be taken directly to the police station for questioning by the Commercial Crime Bureau?
That’s right! The white man is behind this matter.
As for who it is, we need to investigate further.
"Thank you Mr. Li for pointing it out, but there is one thing I still don't understand."
"Mr. Li could have just stood by and watched, so why did he give me such a clear reminder?"
"Isn't Mr. Li afraid that he won't be able to get back any of these shares?"
Tang Judy continued to ask slowly.
After hearing what Tang Judy said, Li Chaoren just smiled and said, "You have to be able to do this. The foreigners have been in Hong Kong for decades. Do you really think you two can handle them?"
"Besides, I'm giving you this reminder not because you took my shares, but because you are Chinese and I don't want you to bring shame to us Chinese."
In response to Li Chaoren's words, Tang Judi nodded tactfully and made a gesture to remind the other party to be loyal.
There is no doubt that even though Li Chaoren is Chen Wen’s rival in business, Li Chaoren’s current broad-mindedness is definitely not something that ordinary people can match.
In other words, for merchants of this period, there is an eternal truth in their minds.
Everyone wants to get some benefits from the foreigners, no matter how big or small, no matter who they are, not many people will stop them.
Business wars are much more peaceful than imagined.
This is especially true when facing those foreigners who never set.
In short, in this operation, most Chinese businessmen will choose to acquiesce.
After all, no one wants to be scolded by others...
