Chapter 152 The Return of the King

Central is the government and business center of Hong Kong Island. In this place where land is precious, every high-rise building standing is a symbol of wealth. In the most conspicuous position, there stands a high-rise building built in the 1990s. It used to be the Hong Kong

The tallest building on the island and a symbol of Hong Kong's economy - the International Financial Center Building. At this time, on the 88th floor of this building worth 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, the board of directors of the Liang Group was being held. The venue was spacious and bright, and from

Looking out from the luxurious floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the main buildings in Central clearly, and you have a feeling of overlooking the heroes. Mr. Liang has been absent from the board of directors for a long time, and Liang Chiwu, as the vice chairman of the company's board of directors, is acting as the chairman of the board of directors, and he is running smoothly.

Sitting at the head of the table, the other twelve people in the venue were dressed in expensive and well-matched clothes, with a luxurious temperament on their faces. They are all board members of the Liang Group, and each of them is worth more than tens of billions. They are well-known on Hong Kong Island.

He is a popular figure.

"Today, the directors of Ruibo Investment will officially join our group. Let's give them a good welcome in a moment to give them some face." Liang Chiwu said to everyone while drinking tea.

"If you have money, you are the boss. People have invested so much money in us, so we should be more enthusiastic. This damn financial crisis has caused us misery." said a director to Liang Chiwu's left.

"Yes, I sold all my villa in the middle of the mountain last week. This is just enough to cover my position." Another director agreed.

"Hmph, don't think you are proud of being able to attract investors. Who caused the group to do this this time? It almost lost all the group's cash flow." A man in his 40s sat in the middle.

The female director glanced at Liang Chiwu indifferently.

Liang Chiwu was a little angry at the rebuke, but he was not easy to refute. He lowered his head and continued to drink tea, recalling those days that he couldn't look back on. In the past six months, the stock market has been falling. Financial securities invested in the United States.

Things were getting worse and worse. Liang Chiwu listened to the words of financial experts in the United States and kept spending money to cover his positions. However, every time he made up the money, he would soon be in danger of being liquidated again, so he had to continue to raise money to cover his positions. In the end, he paid for it with his own money.

After all the money was gone, the company's cash flow became very tight. Liang Chiwu, who had no choice but to hand over some of the Liang Group's shares to a friend who was a bank manager, used them as collateral in exchange for 4 billion in funds. This time he finally

After seeing the results, it began to look like it had bottomed out. In order to recover the losses at once, Liang Chiwu once again took out the Liang Group's shares as collateral, this time in exchange for 8 billion, and invested in the financial market again. He once again invested in the financial market.

I will never forget that day on September 15th. As Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, global stock markets plummeted and countless banks collapsed. More importantly, he also held a large number of securities issued by Lehman Brothers.

, the losses for a time were even more severe. In the past half a year, Liang Chiwu's direct losses amounted to more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars. Not only did his personal assets become negative, but even the Liang Group's cash flow was cut off, and people within the group were panicked.

Normal business has also come to a standstill, and it faces the risk of bankruptcy at any time. And as the stock price of Liang's Group continues to fall, the shares he mortgaged to the bank are also at risk of being forcibly sold.

At this time, Liang Chiwu found a friend who was a bank manager and asked him to extend some time within his scope of authority and never sell the mortgaged shares. On the other hand, he tried his best to find funds to inject into the Liang Group. But this kind of

When the people were in distress, where could they find wealthy investors? Liang Chiwu was so anxious that his hair turned gray. In the end, he had no choice but to ask the old man to take charge of the overall situation.

Mr. Liang was so angry that Liang Chiwu almost had a heart attack, but he knew that the stakes were very high. If he fell again, the country he had built with his own hands would be destroyed. He could only do so reluctantly and stood at the front desk with strength. Mr. Liang's energy

It is indeed very powerful. As soon as he came out of the mountain, he immediately met with a few old men and started a "Hong Kong Island Mutual Rescue Association" over a cup of tea. Then through a series of operations, he borrowed a small amount of funds, allowing the Liang Group to temporarily

He stabilized his position. Then he attracted several interested investors and prepared to inject funds into the group. Unexpectedly, just as he was preparing to negotiate, he discovered that Liang Chiwu had also mortgaged his shares privately and lost a large amount of personal assets. He was furious for a moment.

, finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted and was sent to the hospital for treatment.

However, Liang Chiwu had gradually calmed down and was no longer so panicked. On the one hand, he concealed the old man's condition from the public, and even broadcast a video of the old man telling everyone that he was in good health; on the other hand, he continued to release good news to stabilize the stock price.

He also personally negotiated with several interested investors, and finally reached a cooperation agreement with Ruibo Investment after making a lot of concessions. Ruibo Investment injected HK$15 billion into Liang Group and obtained 10% of the shares of Liang Group.

And a board seat. You must know that a year ago, the market value of Liang Group was as high as more than 400 billion Hong Kong dollars. Now, although it has suffered a crisis and suffered a lot of losses, its market value is still about 200 billion Hong Kong dollars. Such a concession is indeed not small.

, but in this era when cash is king, who can tell people to have money, and it’s cash.

A week ago, just when the Liang Group was stabilizing, and the stock price began to rise, suddenly the major media in Hong Kong broke the news that Mr. Liang was ill and hospitalized, and even the information about the old man's condition was leaked. For a time, all walks of life

He scolded the old man as a lying chairman of a listed company, and Liang's stock price plummeted again. The next day, another article was exposed in the media titled "Killing Brother and Killing Nephew - The Crime and Punishment of the Current Head of Liang's Family"

Li first pointed out that the actual person in charge of the Liang Group is Liang Chiwu, and led everyone to guess what kind of person Liang Chiwu was. Then he broke the news that Liang Chiwu got into power by framing his brother, and told the story of Liang Chiwen, the eldest young master of the Liang family.

He was forced to death by Liang Chiwu. After that, in order to completely remove the obstacles, Liang Chiwu forced his sister-in-law to go abroad and his nephew to the inland. During this period, he continued to find ways to persecute his nephew. At the end of the article, he raised various doubts about Liang Chiwu and also mentioned the original

Old news such as the mysterious death of the eldest son of the Liang family and the mysterious disappearance of the eldest grandson of the Liang family were revealed, giving the public a sense of sudden enlightenment.

As soon as this article came out, Hong Kong was shocked. The stock price of Liang Group continued to plummet. Liang Chiwu immediately refuted the rumors and wanted to sue the media and the hospital that leaked the old man's condition. As a result, after investigation, the leaked condition information was discovered.

It was not the hospital's archived information, but the copy in the Liang family's own hands, which made people laugh out loud.

At this time, Liang Chiwu discovered that taking advantage of the sharp decline in stocks in the past few days, someone actually absorbed a large amount of Liang Group's shares at the bottom. Liang Chiwu immediately tried to find ways to increase the stock price to increase the other party's acquisition cost. On the one hand, he contacted several major shareholders and asked them to

Never give up the stocks in your hands to others; on the other hand, he persuaded various forces, including the in-laws who are also members of the four major families, to purchase Liang's stocks in the market. At the same time, he persuaded the old man in the hospital bed to organize a family

The funds launched a counter-takeover. However, the opponent was very powerful and actually fought against many forces on his own without any intention of retreating. The person Liang Chiwu sent to investigate only then discovered that the person behind the acquisition of Liang's shares was Liang Ying.

Liang Chiwu felt terrible when he thought of the things that had been revealed by the media before, and stepped up the anti-acquisition in the market regardless of the cost. This battle lasted for nearly a week, and finally raised the market value of Liang Group back to about 300 billion.

Only then did Liang Ying gradually stop. After calculation, Liang Ying invested a total of more than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars to purchase almost 3% of the shares of Liang Group. However, 3% of the shares were not enough to cause any trouble. Liang Chiwu had many ways to make Liang Ying

He obediently spit out his shares. He finally won the collision.

The door of the conference room was opened, and investors should have arrived. Liang Chiwu's thoughts were pulled back, and he quickly stood up to prepare to welcome the investors to attend the group's board of directors for the first time. But in an instant, Liang Chiwu's smiling face gradually became stiff, and he came in

The person in question turned out to be Liang Ying, followed by two people. One of them was a European and American, it was William who had followed Liang Ying, and the other was Tan Yonglun, the son of the housekeeper. What was funny was that all the directors in the conference room were still enthusiastic at this time.

After greeting Liang Ying, Liang Chiwu immediately slapped the table hard, and everyone immediately turned around to look at Liang Chiwu with an angry look on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Liang Chiwu asked Liang Ying angrily. Only then did everyone realize that the person who came was not that simple, and immediately returned to their seats to watch the situation develop.

"Second uncle, why do you ask so knowingly? Of course you are here to attend the board of directors." Liang Ying replied with a smile, and then sat down in the seat opposite Liang Chiwu.

When everyone heard Liang Ying calling Liang Chiwu Uncle, they immediately understood who it was and started talking among themselves.

"Young Master Liang, you are Young Master Liang. You are so old now, do you still remember me?" One of the older directors said excitedly to Liang Ying.

Liang Ying looked at the old man and smiled: "Grandpa Zheng, how could I not recognize you? You loved hugging me and playing with me when I was a child. You are still the same, you haven't changed at all."

"Haha, you are getting old. Young Master Liang, you are a very talented person. You are even more handsome than your father back then. Hey..."

When talking about Liang Ying's father Liang Chiwen, both of them felt sad.

Liang Chiwu sneered, looked at the director Lao Zheng, and turned to Liang Ying and said: "Why do you join the board of directors just because of the 3% shares you hold?"

Liang Ying replied calmly: "According to regulations, holding 3% of the shares is already qualified to apply to join the board of directors."

"Wishful thinking, you can't even think of joining the board of directors as long as I'm here. I want to see who will support you." At this time, Liang Chiwu looked at Allen behind Liang Ying and said: "Alan, I should have thought it was you.

You leaked the old man’s condition, right?”

Allen said with an innocent face: "Second Master, please don't accuse me unjustly. You must have evidence for what you say, otherwise I can sue you for defamation."

Liang Chiwu knew in his heart that it was most likely Allen who did this, but he couldn't find any evidence for a while. He knew that there would be no results if he continued to entangle himself, so he had to swallow his anger. Seeing that Liang Ying was calm and steady opposite him.

Sitting down, he suddenly slapped the table again: "Who told you to sit down? Get out of here, security guard! Security guard!"

At this time, two security guards immediately appeared at the door of the conference room, but were stopped by Allen. You must know that although Allen does not have a high position in the company, he is still quite prestigious because he is half a Liang family member. Two security guards were stopped by Allen.

The security guard was a little confused for a moment.

"Why are you driving me away? Even if I am not allowed to be elected as a director, I still have to go through the corresponding procedures." Liang Ying still said calmly.

"Why? Just because I control 51% of the shares of Liang Group. I can disqualify you by myself."

Liang Ying laughed loudly: "You seem to have remembered it wrong, right? Except for the 43% of the shares that the old man directly or indirectly controls, you don't have any shares in your hands now."

Liang Chiwu's eyes narrowed and he immediately thought of something.

At this time, William, who was next to Liang Ying, put several documents in his hands on the table and said to everyone in English: "This is the 3% share held by Mr. Liang Ying personally, and this is held by Mr. Liang Ying's mother.

3% of the shares have been fully entrusted to Mr. Liang Ying. The other 5% of the shares pledged by Mr. Liang Chiwu to Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bank has been purchased by Mr. Liang Ying. Now Mr. Liang Ying owns a total of Liang’s shares.

11% of the group's shares." Most people in the conference room can understand English, so they all understood what William wanted to express.

Liang Chiwu was very shocked. The shares he had pledged were not bought by Liang Ying. His friend had promised not to sell the shares. Now that the stock price has risen, Liang Chiwu also planned to raise funds to redeem the shares. Unexpectedly, it came

Liang Ying's hand. "Impossible. Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bank personally promised me that I would not sell the stock. How could I sell it to you? It's fake, it's fake."

Liang Ying said calmly: "Your friend didn't lie to you. He was indeed willing to violate the bank's regulations to help you retain these shares. But he forgot to tell you that I bought the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bank not long ago. By the way,

He may tell you every opportunity that he was arrested by the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau a few days ago for illegal operations."

The corners of Liang Chiwu's mouth trembled slightly. The current situation is very unfavorable to him. Although the Liang family claims to have a relative control over the Liang Group, the old man has 43%, himself 5%, and the eldest brother previously held 3%.

The shares were inherited by the sister-in-law after the death of the eldest brother. Although the Liang family has always exercised power over these shares, now facing Liang Ying, naturally this part of the shares cannot be counted as owned by herself. Moreover, 5% of her shares are now also

In Liang Ying's hands, one thing was lost and the other was ebbing, and her right to speak became even lower.

"So what? With just 11% of your shares, I can easily veto you." Liang Chiwu said contemptuously.

At this time, Allen said: "Second Master, you seem to have forgotten that the election of directors of the Liang Group uses a cumulative voting system. In addition to the 11% of the shares of the eldest young master, the Yue family now also holds a total of 3% of the group's shares, and

Miss Yue Wenshan is now the young master’s girlfriend. If you ask for a re-election of the board of directors with 14% of the shares, how many board seats do you think you control?”

Liang Chiwu slumped on the chair without any confidence. Originally, he pulled the Yue family because the Yue family had always been comrades-in-arms of the Liang family. Now if the Yue family also supports Liang Ying, he may indeed not be able to organize Liang Ying to join the board of directors. At this time,

When individual directors heard that Liang Ying had this relationship with Miss Yue's family, they began to get close to each other again, and they all showed their favor to Liang Ying.

At this time, Liang Ying once again made a shocking statement: "Actually, I didn't come here to compete for the director's position, because in fact, I am already a director of Liang Group."

After that, William took out a document again. Allen said to Liang Chiwu very proudly: "Ruibo Investment, which invested in Liang's Group this time, is actually a company under the name of the eldest young master, so the eldest young master has already obtained Liang Chiwu's investment.

Group’s board of directors seat.”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Liang Ying had caused such a big stir when she first returned to Hong Kong Island. They all heard that Ruibo Investment was very powerful and had successively acquired or invested in many potential companies in Hong Kong Island.

.Many companies hope to gain the favor of Ruibo Investment. Unexpectedly, this investment company is actually owned by Liang Ying.

Liang Chiwu never expected that the Ruibo investment he had worked so hard to get would turn out to be a company controlled by Liang Ying. He shouted angrily: "You are a sinister villain, you have come to lie to me again. You are now a director of the company."

Yes, what else do you want?"

At this time, Liang Ying smiled calmly and continued to Liang Chiwu: "What I really want to fight for this time is actually your position."?
