Hong Kong Island chaebol prince: Starting from marrying Zhong Chuhong

Cao Kun looked at He Chaoqiong opposite, and under the candlelight, her face was even more delicate and moving.

He couldn't help but think of He Chaoqiong in that time and space, she never forgot the singer Chen Baiqiang, and she had a literary atmosphere in her bones.

So, he decided to try his best to show his literary side on this night, so that He Chaoqiong's good impression of him was even stronger.

"Chaoqiong, I actually like music very much!" Cao Kun said, "There is a very famous theater on Hong Kong Island, and I often go there to listen to concerts!".

He Chaoqiong was a little surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect Cao Kun to have such a hobby.

Curious, she asked, "Really, and what type of music do you like to listen to the most?"

Cao Kun smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I like to try all kinds of music.

However, if I had to say that I liked it the most, it would be classical music.

I think classical music has a unique charm that can purify people's souls!"

He Chaoqiong listened to Cao Kun's words and couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

She didn't expect Cao Kun to be not only handsome on the outside, but also so rich on the inside.

She was also interested in classical music, so the two began to talk about music with great interest.

From Beethoven to Mozart, from symphonies to chamber music, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, as if they had found a soulmate.

......

At this moment, the gambling king Stanley Holly fell into deep thought in the study.

He originally planned to form an alliance with Xu Aizhou, one of the four ship kings, and marry his daughter He Chaoqiong to Xu Aizhou's grandson Xu Jinhu.

But now, he remembered Cao Kun, who he had just met today, and suddenly realized that this young man might be a more suitable candidate.

Although Cao Kun is the son of Cao Wenbiao, the king of ships, he does not have the vices of being a gentleman.

On the contrary, he is talented, steady and mature, and more importantly, he is sincere and caring for He Chaoqiong.

These are all difficult to see in Xu Jinhu.

Stanley Holly finally made up his mind and picked up the phone to dial Cao Wenbiao's number.

"Brother Cao, it's me Stanley Hop, there's something I want to discuss with you!".

Cao Wenbiao's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother He, is there anything wrong with it so late?"

Stanley Holly said straight to the point: "I have been thinking about letting my daughter Chaoqiong marry Xu Jinhu, but now I have changed my mind.

I think your son Cao Kun is the more suitable candidate for Chaoqiong!".

Cao Wenbiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Brother He, what you said really surprised me."

However, to be honest, I have always liked Chaoqiong, and if she can be with Kun'er, of course I can't ask for it!".

Cao Wenbiao recalled that compared with those female stars, He Chaoqiong is more suitable to be Cao Kun's wife regardless of her family background or appearance and talent.

"That's great, Brother Cao, since you also agree, then let's arrange for them to confirm the marriage contract as soon as possible!" Stanley Holland said.

At this moment, Cao Kun and He Chaoqiong, who were dining together on the streets of Aomen, were still continuing their sweetness.

Little did they know that their future had been quietly arranged by their two fathers.

However, even if they knew, Cao Kun and He Chaoqiong would not object.

He Chaoqiong was a little reluctant, and kept sending Cao Kun to the pier of Aomen back to Hong Kong Island, waving goodbye.

......

Cao Kun sat on the boat back to Hong Kong Island, clutching a newspaper in his hand.

Newspaper reports about Kunlun Group's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa in negative public opinion.

These newspaper reporters were irresponsible, and without any evidence, they implied that there was bribery.

Cao Kun closed his eyes, and Li Bancheng's gloomy face appeared in his mind, and he was sure that it must be him!

Cao Kun speculated that it must be that this Hong Kong Island business giant has suffered repeated setbacks at the hands of the Cao family father and son in recent years

First, the acquisition of Wharf failed, and then Hutchison Whampoa was lost.

This series of blows made Li Bancheng dissatisfied, so he began to use the media resources in his hands to launch a fierce attack on the Kunlun Group.

Cao Kun sneered and opened his eyes, his gaze revealing firmness and determination.

Li Bancheng's purpose was nothing more than to damage the reputation of the Kunlun Group and thus suppress their business status of the Kunlun Group.

But Cao Kun is by no means a person who sits idly by, and he decided to uncover the truth of these negative public opinions himself.

Using his keen insight and the top-notch detective abilities he had obtained before, Cao Kun quickly found clues.

It turned out that the mastermind behind these negative public opinions was Li Bancheng's secretary Hong Xiaolian.

Hong Xiaolian must have been verbally instructed by Li Bancheng to buy those newspapers.

Cao Kun directly handed over this evidence to Shen Bi, chairman of the board of directors of HSBC.

Shen Bi slapped the table angrily: "These reports are completely slander and slander against HSBC and Kunlun Group!

."

From now on, we will break off the cooperative relationship with Li Bancheng's Cheung Kong Industrial!".

The news quickly reached Li Bancheng's ears.

He suddenly felt a fluster, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.

HSBC is the issuing bank of Hong Kong dollars and is the largest financial group on Hong Kong Island.

Without the support of HSBC, Cheung Kong will face an unprecedented crisis.

In desperation, Li Bancheng had no choice but to find Shen Bi in person to intercede.

In Shen Bi's office, Li Bancheng lowered his arrogant head and said in a trembling voice.

"Please listen to me, these reports are not what I meant, they were released by Hong Xiaolian behind my back!"

Shen Bi looked at Li Bancheng coldly, and his voice revealed undoubted majesty.

"Mr. Li, I hope you can understand that Kunlun Group and HSBC are strategic partners.

We will not tolerate any behavior that harms our interests.

If you can't give us a satisfactory explanation, then we will have to consider terminating the cooperation with Cheung Kong!".

Hearing this, Li Bancheng felt a burst of despair.

There was no way back for him.

He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "I'm willing to take all the responsibility!"

I will immediately remove the false reports and publicly apologize to Kunlun Group.

At the same time, I will also deal with Hong Xiaolian seriously, and I will never let something like this happen again!".

Shen Bi looked at Li Bancheng's sincere expression, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.

He nodded, indicating his acceptance of Li Bancheng's apology and promise.

But he also warned solemnly: "Mr. Li, I hope you can remember today's lesson.

Kunlun Group and HSBC are not pawns that you can manipulate at will.

If you dare to behave like this again, then we will show no mercy!".

Li Bancheng left Shen Bi's office gratefully.

He immediately ordered the removal of the false reports in the tabloids and changed the direction of the reports.

From then on, he no longer dared to provoke the Cao family's father and son easily.

But Cao Kun will not let go of this old cucumber (everyone should know the reason why someone is nicknamed Li Cucumber).

......

After hearing the news that Shen Bi had let Li Bancheng go, the atmosphere in Cao Kun's elegantly decorated study was extremely depressing.

"Li Bancheng, this guy can bend and stretch, what a difficult opponent!" Cao Kun said in a deep voice, revealing deep jealousy in his tone.

Father Cao Wenbiao frowned slightly: "Kun'er, you mean that he still has the power to fight back?"

Cao Kun nodded: "That's right, he is like a cobra, extremely poisonous, aggressive, and very good at forbearance."

The temporary compromise was only because he was afraid of Shen Bi's influence in the financial world

As soon as he finds an opportunity, he will inevitably bite us back!"

Cao Wenbiao was silent for a moment and said, "Then we really can't take it lightly.

Li Bancheng is a good person who is good at socializing and has a wide range of contacts, which is an advantage that we can't ignore!".

Cao Kun sneered: "Of course I know how powerful he is, but it is not so easy for him to defeat me."

What I want to do most now is to kill him at once and completely cut off the possibility of his rise!"

Cao Wenbiao sighed: "Kun'er, although Li Bancheng is difficult, we can't lose our sense of proportion because of this.

If you really want to put him to death, then you have to have the money and influence far beyond these top rich people.

Only then will you be able to deliver the fatal blow to him at the critical moment!".

Cao Kun nodded: "I know, Dad, I will be cautious!"

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door of the study.

Cao Kun frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

A man in a black suit pushed the door in, walked quickly to Cao Kun's side, and whispered a few words.

Cao Kun's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"I know, you go out first!" Cao Kun waved his hand.

The man answered, turned and exited the study.

Cao Wenbiao watched his son's face change, and his heart couldn't help but sink: "What's wrong? Is there any news?".

Cao Kun took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "Li Bancheng has recently gotten very close to several top wealthy businessmen from his hometown Chaoshan, and it seems that he is planning some big move!"

When Cao Wenbiao heard this, his brows tightened: "If these rich businessmen join forces, it will indeed be a big trouble for us!"

Cao Kun sneered: "Hmph, it's not so easy for them to join forces to deal with us."

As long as we can seize the opportunity and defeat Li Bancheng in one fell swoop, the others will naturally fall apart.

Now what worries me is the slander of us by the Oriental Daily!".

Because of Shen Bi's influence, Li Bancheng removed the false reports in the tabloids and changed the direction of the reports.

But there is a large newspaper "Oriental Daily" that is still hyping this topic, not only hinting at or even explicitly indicating that their Cao family's acquisition is very boring.

Even if the Cao family father and son filed a complaint, they still ignored it.

They ignored it because the topic was fascinating and would boost sales for their newspaper.

And their Ma family is also very powerful on Hong Kong Island, just because their Ma family is a family of drug lords.

Even the business volume of the famous drug lord Lame Hao is an order of magnitude less than that of their Ma family.

Cao Kun sat in the study, facing the spread out "Oriental Daily", but there was not much anger on his face, but there was a deep calm to the extreme.

His gaze swept over the inflammatory words, and his face looked contemptuous.

Cao Wenbiao stood aside, watching his son's reaction, and nodded secretly in his heart.

The son is not an impulsive person, and he must have his own plans in the face of this situation.

Cao Kun put down the newspaper and said: "The Ma family is a family of drug lords, which is not a secret on Hong Kong Island

But they dare to use the media to attack us so blatantly, obviously relying on something!".

Cao Wenbiao nodded: "That's right, the Ma family's power is huge, and they are inextricably linked to the underworld.

When I was doing shipping before, I refused to bring them goods, and they held a grudge against me and kept looking for opportunities to suppress our Cao family.

This time, they obviously want to take this opportunity to completely suppress our Cao family!".

Cao Kun sneered: "Suppress us? They also have to have this ability."

Dad, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter!".

Cao Wenbiao looked at his son's confident appearance, and his heart couldn't help but feel relieved.

The son is just a hit, a blockbuster, and if he doesn't fly, he is just a skyrocket.

Although this time the matter is tricky, he believes that Cao Kun will definitely be able to find a solution.

Cao Kun picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hey, it's me, how did you find out about the Ma family?"

A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Young master, we have found out."

In January 1969, the Ma brothers founded Oriental Daily, which quickly gained a place in the Hong Kong Island press scene. "

Folk readers, however, prefer to call them pink newspapers, because the code used by the Ma brothers in the poison trade is always presented in the newspaper in a stealthy way. "

"My brother Ma Xiru focuses on the poison business, so he is called a pink horse by the people of the rivers and lakes. "

The younger brother Ma Xizhen is in charge of the newspaper company, which is not only to disseminate news, but also an important channel for money laundering, and skillfully converts the illegally obtained drug money into legal income, so Ma Xizhen is also given the title of Golden Horse. "

Ma Xizhen's mind is extraordinary, and under his careful management, "Oriental Daily" has been the newspaper sales champion on Hong Kong Island for 29 consecutive years. "

After years of hard work, the brothers have accumulated billions of huge fortunes and become one of the four major gangster families on Hong Kong Island, along with the new Ngee An Xiang family, the community 14k and the lame hao's Yiqun. However, the situation changed, and the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption on Hong Kong Island in 1974 upset the balance of gang power. "

The first to bear the brunt was Lame Hao, who was sentenced to 30 years in prison after the trial, and the rivers and lakes were shaken, and everyone in the major gangster families was in danger. "

"The Ma brothers were keenly aware of the unusual nature of the storm and decisively put an end to all illegal activities on Hong Kong Island, leaving only the legitimate Oriental Daily News to continue operating. "

Ma Xizhen decided to let her brother Ma Xiru take refuge in the treasure island first, and after taking care of all the affairs, she rushed to the treasure island. "

"However, according to what we have found now, the Ma family has revived, and the second generation of their Ma family has started a drug trafficking business on Hong Kong Island again, and their Oriental Daily has also regained its characteristics as a fan newspaper to deliver news. "

"The leader is Ma Xiru's son Ma Tingqiang!".

Cao Kun is still relatively familiar with Ma Tingqiang, because this lame man married Li Zi, the beauty god of Hong Kong Island, in the original time and space.

It turned out that time and space, in 1998, his brother Ma Xiru died of illness on Treasure Island, ending his legendary and controversial life.

His son Ma Tingqiang married the famous Hong Kong star beauty Li Zi in 2008.

Perhaps it was karma, Ma Xiru sold drugs and harmed countless people back then, causing Ma Tingqiang to be born with a disability and need to rely on crutches for the rest of his life.

However, Ma Tingqiang is called the second generation of lame man, which means that he has also been involved in the business of selling drugs.

Cao Kun nodded: "Okay, continue to investigate, I want to know all their actions and plans!"

......

Cao Wenbiao looked at the report of the "Oriental Daily" controlled by the Ma family, and was very angry, but also very helpless.

Because the Ma family mastered the pen, their "Oriental Daily" sold very much, often hundreds of thousands of copies.

Moreover, the Ma family was a drug lord before, and they still had guns, and their armed forces numbered hundreds, which exceeded the armed sailors in the Cao family's control.

Could it be that the Cao family endured the slander and suppression of the "Oriental Daily" controlled by the Ma family?

Cao Kun said to Cao Wenbiao: "Dad, our family's armed forces are still a bit thin.

These armed sailors are still a little weak compared to the people raised by the Ma family's drug lords!".

Cao Wenbiao smiled bitterly: "But where can I find someone who is fiercer than their drug lords?"

Don't tell me to go find the clubs.

Those old boys only rely on the strength of the crowd, and if they really fight, they will only scatter the birds and beasts!".

Cao Kun smiled slightly, and said confidently: "On March 16 this year, the war between the mainland and the Vietnamese belly ended.

In recent months, a large number of fighters have been discharged.

They have all experienced brutal wars, are well-trained, and have strict military discipline, and the Ma family drug lords have completely given ...... to them when they encounter them."

Cao Kun wanted Vietnam veterans to form a mercenary legion.

On the one hand, they should fight against those hostile elements who stand in the way of their own prosperity.

On the other hand, after training, it can provide bodyguard services to the wealthy on Hong Kong Island and even the world.

Cao Kun wants to establish a Blackwater Group that belongs to our Chinese.
