Giant of the times

Shen Bi's answer was unexpected.

"Mr. Li, the minimum value of each share of Hutchison Whampoa is HK$14.4, so..." He stopped and looked at Li Zetian. He did not clearly say the following content, but generally speaking, he wanted to There is a premium for acquiring shares held by others.

When Li Zetian heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry. You so stupidly sold it to Li Jiacheng for half the price, and sold it to me for a premium. You think I'm rich, so are you willing to be taken advantage of?

The private conversations between Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng were top secret. In the end, no one would have thought that HSBC would sell 20% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares to Li Jiacheng at a 50% discount and also provide him with a loan. However, Li Zetian was different. He had read Li Jiacheng's biography in his previous life. The book described in detail the "Snake Tun Xiang" of Yangtze River Industrial Company to acquire the shares of Hutchison Whampoa Company. To this day, Li Zetian still remembers it deeply.

What Shen Bi was thinking was that Li Zetian must not know about his private conversation with Li Jiacheng. Since Li Zetian, who has strong financial resources, also wants to buy shares in Hutchison Whampoa, he should sell it to him and take advantage of the opportunity to sell it at a good price.

Li Zetian suppressed his anger and asked calmly: "Mr. Shen, just tell me how much you plan to ask for."

Shen Bi hesitated for a moment and replied: "17 Hong Kong dollars per share!"

Li Zetian immediately laughed angrily, "Isn't 17 Hong Kong dollars too little? Why not just say 20 Hong Kong dollars per share!"

Shen Bi couldn't hear Li Zetian's sarcastic remarks, so he knew that his offer made the other party angry.

"Mr. Li, if you think my quotation is too high, then what do you think is appropriate?" Shen Bi said.

Li Zetian was just about to say something sarcastic when the waiter came over and started serving the food.

During the serving process, Li Zetian tried to calm down. It was precisely because he knew very well the deal between Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng that he was so angry. This is obviously unfair treatment, and Li Zetian can't stand it!

Li Zetian picked up the red wine, shook it, and said, "I'm curious about what Li Jiacheng used to buy the shares of Hutchison Whampoa Company. Mr. Shen, could you tell me?"

Shen Bi was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and replied with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, this is a business secret. I'm sorry I can't tell you!"

"That's true! If you tell me, I'm afraid you won't be able to offer me such a high price. Don't you think so, Mr. Shen?" Li Zetian said sarcastically, then snorted and drank a glass of red wine. Drink it all in one gulp.

Shen Bi laughed sarcastically and said, "Mr. Li, you are really humorous, haha..."

"Is it humorous? Isn't what I said the truth?" Li Zetian started without saying hello to him. He picked up the knife and fork, cut a small piece of steak into his mouth, and said while eating. polite? Oh, get out of here! ! !

Shen Bi's expression looked very embarrassed.

Li Zetian lowered his head to eat lunch without looking at him, and continued to ask: "Mr. Shen, HSBC values ​​Li Jiacheng very much, right? It even plans to win BJ's favor through Li Jiacheng, so that HSBC can make a smooth transition after the return of Hong Kong. , the business operation will not be affected by politics? Well, I have to say, Mr. Shen, you are really an excellent strategic investor..."

On the surface, Shen Bi was calm and unchanged, but he was very surprised in his heart because his long-planned idea was guessed by Li Zetian!

"It's just that although Li Jiacheng is Chinese, he has Canadian nationality. Even if Hong Kong returns, China will not recognize him as a Chinese citizen. Haha, Mr. Shen, are you sure that HSBC's investment in Li Jiacheng will be fine in the future?" Li Zetian raised his head and looked into his eyes, smiling meaningfully.

Shen Bi frowned and remained silent for a long time, speechless. No one could guarantee this kind of thing.

Li Zetian stood up at this time and said: "I'll treat you to this lunch. If HSBC is sincere, we can talk about it."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Later, Li Zetian asked the driver to drive to take a look at the university invested and established by the L.Y Foundation. In two or three years, this university has begun to take shape. In September this year, it just enrolled the first batch of students, with about 4,200 students.

The name of the school is Umbrella University, ordered by the parent company under the name of Li Zetian. Hong Kong people translate it as Zhetian University, and mainlanders like to call it Umbrella University!

This is a top university built with huge sums of money. Hong Kong newspapers call "Zhatian University" the top aristocratic university in Hong Kong. Its teaching staff and school equipment are top-notch in the world. It has seven academic schools: School of Engineering, School of Business, and School of Energy. and the School of Environmental Sciences, the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Medicine, and the School of Law. In addition, there are more than 350 teachers (professors, associate professors, lecturers), who are basically recruited from major well-known universities in the world. Although the number is small, the quality is outstanding. After all, there are not many students in the school. When there are more students in the future, we can recruit more talents.

Zhetian University is very similar to Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, and attaches great importance to the development of computers. Li Zetian really wanted to develop Hong Kong into the "Silicon Valley of the United States" around "Zhatian University". Hong Kong has been ruined by real estate and finance, and has made almost no achievements in high-tech and manufacturing. The same goes for the film and television industry. It was originally developing well, but then it became worse and worse. The Hong Kong movies of the 1980s and 1990s were so good, and they have become unforgettable memories for many people.

After Li Zetian arrived at the school, he quickly met the principal, who was actually his father Li Chengzhi.

Li Chengzhi took him around the school and gave an introduction.

When the students in the school saw Li Zetian, they were surprised, gathered around him, and talked in low voices.

"Oh my god, Chronos Li is coming to our school!"

Some girls seemed to be fans of Li Zetian and couldn't help shouting with excitement. However, they saw many cold-looking and burly bodyguards, so no one dared to step forward.

Li Chengzhi smiled and said: "The students who come here to school basically regard you as their idol. In addition, because of your relationship, they don't call me principal in private..."

"Uh, what's that?" Li Zetian asked curiously.

Li Chengzhi shook his head and said with a smile: "What's so good about a nickname..."

Li Zetian immediately laughed and said, "Is the nickname so unpleasant that you feel embarrassed to say it?"

Li Chengzhi just smiled and said nothing.

Li Zetian smiled noncommittally, thinking that if he didn't tell me, I wouldn't know...

After more than an hour, the two came to the principal's office to rest.

"More than half of the school is undergoing expansion, and we are also recruiting more well-known professors and lecturers." Li Chengzhi poured two cups of tea.

Li Zetian took a sip of tea and said, "The establishment of Zhetian University hopes to change the development of Hong Kong..."
