Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 326 Stocks surge

After ending the call with Xu Yandeng, Li Weidong glanced at the documents on the table and walked out of the office. He felt a little uneasy if he didn't go see Liu Jinhui at this time, but when he went home, he felt uneasy and felt very conflicted.

The best way is to let Liu Jinhui recuperate at home for a few days. It is just the final period for the accounting firm to audit the financial statements of each company last year, and things are relatively busy. If there is no suitable reason, Liu Jinhui will definitely have to worry.

If you don't want her to worry too much, you have to think of a way. It's not easy to persuade someone who suddenly has a career ambition. Liu Jinhui is very strong-willed, so if you want to do something, you have to do it well.

Naturally, her goal is not to live solely on Li Weidong's companies. Although more than 90% of her current business is related to Li Weidong's, this is not Liu Jinhui's dream.

Li Weidong shook his head and stopped thinking. The current task was to deal with the tracking matter. He had to determine how many waves of people were following Liu Jinhui and ensure Liu Jinhui's safety.

Originally he thought he was quite low-key and didn't need a few bodyguards, but now it seems that the security force is still a bit weak. It is urgent to increase the security force and replace Ding Yuan and the others.

Everyone had lurked at the door and hadn't noticed yet. The reason couldn't be blamed on Ding Yuan and Xie Ming. No one expected that someone would be lurking at the door to take photos secretly.

Xie Ming had already driven out to find someone to borrow from Luo Jialiang. The two of them were very busy and couldn't handle these things even if they were very powerful. Ding Yuan had to stay at home.

If it were other times, that would be fine, as long as it was relatively safe at home, but since Li Weidong was obviously uneasy about these things, Ding Yuan would naturally not leave.

Ding Yuan was looking around at the door. When he saw Li Weidong coming out, he trotted over, waiting for Li Weidong's instructions at any time.

He had never been so nervous before. Although he was nervous during the time abroad, he didn't feel like the wind was blowing. Now he has to carefully check the grass at the door.

He used to think that the lush greenery at the door was beautiful, but now he wanted to eradicate it all. When he saw the dens at the door in the morning, he wanted to slap himself. He had become numb after staying in such a soothing environment for a long time.

"How's it going? Did you find anything else?" Li Weidong asked.

"I carefully looked around for places where people can hide. There are traces of human activity in this area. They should have come here early in the morning to hide, and they were just waiting for the photos to be taken when Mr. Liu went out!"

"Boss, we were negligent, and we almost had a big problem!" Ding Yuan said very ashamed, his face was not much better than Xie Ming's, his face turned red.

"It can't all be your responsibility. You guys can't take care of it. Do you have any suitable comrades? Can you recommend some to me?" Li Weidong waved his hand and said.

"There are a few that are suitable, but we haven't contacted them for many years, and we don't know what the situation is!" Ding Yuan said thoughtfully.

There are four bodyguards in total. Because Liu Jinhui is special, and because Miao Yu and Dai Mei are new here, it will take some time to build trust. Xie Ming also followed.

Li Weidong said: "After this matter is over, you can go back to the mainland and take a look. If there is anything suitable, bring it over."

He still remembered the famous incident of gangsters kidnapping the eldest son of a rich man a few years later. Now that he was used to living in a peaceful and stable environment, he still relaxed his vigilance against these things.

This is the 1990s, and there are still road tyrants, river tyrants and other tyrants. If something happens, it will be too late to regret it. Money and other things are trivial, but personal safety is the big deal.

And judging from this matter, he seems to need some fame. If he keeps a low profile like this, even cats and dogs can bully him, which makes him seem too weak as a rich man.

You can be low-key, but there is a limit to being low-key. He should let people in the circle know it, and people outside the circle don't know. Then he is truly low-key.

Xie Ming moved very quickly and came back at three or four o'clock, accompanied by Luo Jialiang. Li Weidong was already waiting anxiously. He knew it from the moment he found the man named Cui Dong.

But he said on the phone that he felt like something was missing, and he would have to hear Xie Ming's report in person before he could feel relieved.

"Boss, according to Mr. Luo's inquiries, we found that person without much effort. He is at his home. His wife has gone to work and the children have gone to school. This has saved us a lot of trouble!" Xie Ming looked at it.

He said directly after arriving at Li Weidong.

"It didn't take him two seconds to explain. He found a total of four detectives to follow Mr. Liu. The remaining one was also found by Miao Yu under his instructions, just outside Mr. Liu's office building!"

"According to what he said, he was approached by a detective the afternoon before yesterday. No detective has given him any feedback yet!" After Xie Ming finished speaking, he quietly glanced at Li Weidong.

If he had called for a detective the afternoon before yesterday, and had gone to the door of his house this morning, and had started following him yesterday, it would mean that the detective was very capable, but it also meant that he was an incompetent bodyguard.

When I went home yesterday, I didn't notice anyone following me. Among the confiscated films, there was at least a photo of a detective who had been lurking there for a long time. It was very likely that he was there before dawn.

Li Weidong glared at Xie Ming and said nothing. He had to give them a chance to correct themselves.

"We also searched the homes of these detectives, and only found the film from get off work last night in one detective's home!" Xie Ming saw that Li Weidong was not too angry before he dared to say this.

Xie Ming carefully handed the film to Li Weidong, feeling remorseful for losing his vigilance and even doubting whether he would be unable to do this job.

Li Weidong took a brief look and found that it was as expected. Fortunately, this thing had not been spread out yet.

"Cui Dong, please tell me. It was Zhao Xu who did this, right? This bastard is so courageous. He only cares about eating and not fighting!" Li Weidong said coldly.

"It's not Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu was punished last time and had injuries on his face. He hasn't been out recently. It was Zhao Xu's mother who arranged for Cui Dong to investigate!" Xie Ming replied.

"And Zhao Xu's mother is Cui Dong's aunt. According to Cui Dong himself, his aunt trusts him very much and usually leaves everything to him to handle, so she won't let anyone else be responsible for this matter!" Xie Ming

continued.

When Xie Ming heard that it was Zhao's mother who did it, he first thought about whether he had commissioned other private detectives, but seeing Cui Dong's determined eyes, he chose to believe it.

"Humph, he, the mother, must bear the main responsibility for raising such a son!" Li Weidong had read the information of Changtai Bank and had no good impression of Cui Fenghua.

Zhao Changtai's second wife got married less than a year after his death. Chinese people, whether living or dead, pay special attention to the anniversary.

A child's first birthday is more solemn, and the first anniversary of a deceased person is also very important, otherwise today will be the anniversary of your death next year and it will not become popular. A son must observe mourning for three years, and a husband must mourn for a year.

He married his wife before his death anniversary, which shows that neither of them is a good person, and they gave birth to Zhao Xu not long after they got married, and maybe they even hooked up within half a year after the death of his second wife.

If we are speculating with malicious intent, maybe they hooked up with each other before their wives died. One secretary and one boss are a perfect match.

"Where did Cui Dong and those detectives go?" Li Weidong asked curiously.

"It was arranged in a small hotel. Mr. Luo found a few people to look after him. They were all given single rooms. Thanks to Mr. Luo's help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find him so quickly!" Xie Ming said.

.

Li Weidong glanced at Luo Jialiang, nodded and said, "Well, not bad, I didn't expect you have a lot of connections!"

"Chairman, this is all thanks to you, the brothers on the road give me face!" Luo Jialiang said with a humble smile.

He didn't dare to feel proud at all in front of Li Weidong. Although he was a small boss under He Shengtang in the past, He Shengtang couldn't protect himself. How could he, a small boss, have any face?

But the situation has changed now. Although he is still the little leader of He Sheng Tang, the remaining dozens of brothers in He Sheng Tang basically rely on him for their livelihood, so naturally they have enough confidence.

And there was a faint hope that Heshengtang could be developed and prospered, so the old men of Heshengtang naturally let Luo Jialiang fiddle with it, which would save them trouble.

All the brothers on the road knew that he had become famous and that he would start making movies like the Hua brothers. Everyone had to give him some face, even if his face was not great, but for the sake of money, he still had to give him three

Very polite.

He can naturally get the matter done with just one phone call, and although Cui Dong is not a famous person, Zhao Xu is well-known as the third son of Changtai Bank, so it is not difficult for his followers to inquire.

"I know in my heart that you have done a good job in this matter. Send all those troubles to the police station and find a way to prevent them from coming out until they have three to five years!"

Paparazzi are prevalent on Hong Kong Island, and many of them operate under the guise of private detectives. Hong Kong Island is not a big place, but there are hundreds of private detectives, and of course many of them are called investigation companies.

This kind of behavior is prohibited in the country. Last year, the country issued a special document to restrict this matter, but there is no way. Demand determines supply. If there is a market, these institutions will naturally emerge.

Li Weidong hates this industry deeply. What he does is all surreptitious work. It is difficult to get into the officialdom. Look at this method. Secret photography, secret recording, and tracking are all things that cannot be put on the table. They are a serious invasion of privacy. They rely on others.

Making money from privacy is disgusting.

And this time it violated his bottom line again, so naturally he no longer liked them at all. If conditions allowed, he would have thrown them into the sea to feed the sharks.

"Chairman, don't worry. When Brother Xie asked them just now, he explained a lot of things. Let's put it into practice a little and we won't think of it for another three to five years!" Luo Jialiang said with a sinister smile.

At this time, in Des Voeux Road, Bank Street, Hong Kong Island, a large conference room on the fifth floor of a bank was holding a meeting in a lively atmosphere. Judging from the situation, it should be a happy event.

Des Voeux Road Central is the street with the most banks in Hong Kong. Among the 1,780 listed banks in Hong Kong, most of their head offices are on this street or in nearby areas. It is a famous banking street on Hong Kong Island.

This road of less than two kilometers is lined with banks on both sides. The financial information sent out from here every day affects the economic pulse of Hong Kong Island and can cause shock to the world economy.

In a small alley in the middle of this road, there are also several banks, one of which is the headquarters of Changtai Bank. The entire building has eleven floors, and the third to fifth floors are the properties of Changtai Bank.

The host of the ongoing meeting on the fifth floor is Zhao Changtai himself, and the person making the report is his eldest son Zhao Bing. It is not difficult to see from Zhao Changtai's expression that he is very satisfied.

This satisfaction is in sharp contrast to the disappointment of seeing Yao'er's face full of scars at home two days ago. I feel that the training of this successor is very good and he is completely like him.

"This is the specific situation of the talks with Singaporean financial institutions and some banks. Although it has not been finalized, according to my judgment, they are welcoming to our Changtai Bank!"

Zhao Bing finally concluded that he is a director and vice president of the bank's board of directors. His father is the chairman of the board of directors and the president. The other six or seven directors also bought shares when his father started his business.

Although there are more people, unless we work together, we will not have an advantage on the board of directors. Everything will be done according to Zhao Changtai's will. Even if you don't agree, there is nothing you can do. This is the game of capital. It depends on the equity.

"Let's talk about it. This is the first step for our Changtai Bank to leap outward. This is a new opportunity for our development. We chose Singapore because the environment there is better and the financial market is more open. We can only succeed this time.

Don't fail!" Although Zhao Changtai is in his seventies, his voice is still calm and resonant.

Cao Guojun is the second shareholder of Changtai Bank, but the number of shares he holds is less than half of Zhao Changtai's, only 15% of the shares, while Zhao Changtai does own 33% of the shares.

Although he has a lot of shares, he doesn't speak loudly, but he still has to say it, and of course he mainly expresses approval. After all, he has a good relationship with Zhao Bing, and he has no intention of falling out.

"Director Zhao has gained a lot from this trip. I think if the news is released, the stocks in our hands will definitely rise a lot. I completely agree with the board of directors' opinions!" Cao Guojun said with a smile.

Several shareholders also laughed happily after hearing this. Although this matter was done in a somewhat urgent manner, overall it was for the development of the bank, and they had to laugh even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts.

And with the stimulation of this news, maybe the stock can really rise, and it will be good to cash out when the time comes. How can the stock exchange have so much free time to deal with them!

Zhao Bing felt relieved when he saw everyone's smiles. Although he knew there was no reason to fail on this trip, he was still under a lot of pressure when his father asked him to take Zhao Xu there. He already suspected that his father was going to change.

People.

Although the trip went smoothly, his plan still cannot be stopped. As long as the little mother is still alive, his status will be unstable. If his father becomes confused and can't stand the pillow wind, he will be in trouble.

The meeting ended happily. When everyone walked out of the conference room, they saw that their secretaries outside were all smiling and cheerful. Something great must have happened.

Zhao Changtai glanced at the young and beautiful secretary next to him and asked with a smile: "What's going on? Is there some happy event? Is someone getting married?"

The female secretary paused for a moment, then glanced at Zhao Bing next to her, but still said with a smile: "Our bank's stock price has soared today, everyone is happy!"

"It's a big rise. How much has it risen to make you so happy?" Zhao Changtai glanced at his son and thought it was him. He bought it in advance and waited for the news to be released before taking action.

"The market just closed, up 11%. The market value of our bank has exceeded 4 billion!" the secretary said.

Zhao Changtai paused for a moment, then turned to look at Zhao Bing. Being able to pull their company up to 11% was no ordinary feat. His son should not have this ability.

Zhao Bing looked at his father, then at the directors around him, and said softly: "Father, fellow directors, I rushed here as soon as I got off the plane. It must have nothing to do with me. Secretary Ye can testify that she was the one who came to the airport.

Pick me up!"

"And I don't have that much energy to do this. Although the market value of our bank is not large, how much does it cost to increase it by 10%?"

Although several surrounding directors still have doubts in their eyes, they have to admit that Zhao Bing's words are reasonable. Not everyone has hundreds of millions of funds, especially cash.

Sorry everyone, it’s late again today!!!
