Chapter 254: The Hero's Greed

Of course, Chen Songqing also attended MacLehose's farewell reception.

Although he is no longer as prominent as he was in previous years in the Hong Kong business community, there are still many people willing to say hello to him.

Chen Songqing responded to everyone's flattery with a fake smile throughout the whole process, and his anxiety became more and more intense.

He also saw Fang Hexuan from afar. The people he made friends with were all bigwigs from all walks of life, and his situation was completely different from his own.

Especially the scene where Fang Hexuan and Murray MacLehose were whispering, which made Chen Songqing envious and mixed with emotions.

Before, he didn't believe it and thought that the market conditions in the local market, real estate market and stock market were just normal counter-cyclical conditions and that everything would be fine after a while.

However, market data over the past two months have left Chen Songqing with no hope.

In addition, he also believed that he had the ability to defuse the explosion and thwart Fang Hexuan's threat.

But the more you think about something, the more likely the result will be the opposite of what you want.

What will be the new governor's governing policy? What will be the future of Hong Kong? These questions will have unpredictable impacts on the already fragile and precarious Hong Kong economy.

Chen Songqing had already realized that if he continued like this he would not have a good ending, so he took the initiative to ask Fang Hexuan to talk.

When Fang Hexuan's yacht arrived off the coast of Hong Kong, a small yacht was already parked there.

Since the other party needed his help, it was naturally impossible for him to get on the other party's boat.

Chen Songqing could only endure a little dissatisfaction and board the medium-sized yacht rented by Fang Hexuan.

In the yacht's own conference room, Fang Hexuan drank coffee and looked at Chen Songqing across the table in amazement.

"Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for two months. You have changed so much."

Chen Songqing didn't care about his image at this time. He didn't answer Fang Hexuan's question, but asked directly:
"Does Fang Sheng's previous promise still count?"

Fang Hexuan pretended to recall it, and then deliberately asked in confusion:

"Promise? What promise?"

Chen Songqing suppressed his anger and said word by word:

"I cooperate with you, and you let me get my share."

Fang Hexuan pretended to pat his head with his hand and said with a smile:
"Now I remember, I did say that at the end of February. What, has Mr. Chen really figured it out?"

Chen Songqing looked at the young man in front of him who could only be his son in terms of age, and all the resentment in his heart turned into a cold snort.

"Humph!"

Fang Hexuan was not angry at all and still had a smile on his face.

"Since I promised you three months to think about it, I will keep my word."

Chen Songqing took a deep breath and asked tentatively:
“Is Hong Kong’s stock market, land market and property market really hopeless?”

If someone else heard him say this, they would probably think he was talking nonsense.

But Fang Hexuan understood what he meant and nodded.

"I can tell you clearly that I converted my assets into U.S. dollars the year before last, and I started to move out a large amount of U.S. dollar cash from the second half of last year, just to wait for the collapse of these three markets this year and then enter the market to buy cabbages."

"Mr. Chen, if I hadn't believed in it, do you think I would be so stupid as to take a blind gamble?"

Chen Songqing stared at Fang Hexuan, trying to judge the truth of his words from his expression.

About half a minute later, he sighed heavily.

"Since Mr. Fang has already found out my background, there is no need for me to hide it. In a word, I can cooperate with your actions, but I must get at least 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in benefits." After hearing this, Fang Hexuan sneered in his heart.

"Damn it, the entire Jianing Group is a big bubble. After it bursts and all debts are paid off, I don't know if there will be 100 million Hong Kong dollars in remaining assets."

He decisively rejected Chen Songqing's greed and exorbitant demands.

"Mr. Chen, you still want to fish in troubled waters at this point? Your company's financial statements are definitely fake, but it's not that you, the head of the family, don't know your own financial situation, right?"

Chen Songqing's request just now was of course intended to test Fang Hexuan. Seeing that the other party did not fall for it, he said:
"8 million Hong Kong dollars, if you promise, I will do as you say."

Fang Hexuan looked at the other person jokingly, then smiled and shook his head.

"impossible!"

Chen Songqing pretended to be a little angry and stood up from his seat, pretending to leave.

But Fang Hexuan didn't even open his mouth to stop him, as if he didn't care at all that the negotiations would fall through.

At this point, the person who was anxious was not him, but Chen Songqing himself.

Seeing that Fang Hexuan remained unmoved, Chen Songqing's face turned red, and he felt both ashamed and angry.

He didn't sit down either, but gritted his teeth and said with difficulty:

"7 million Hong Kong dollars, it can't be any less, otherwise..."

Fang Hexuan interrupted his harsh words and said calmly:
"I will leave you a maximum of HK$3 million in assets, including cash, real estate, and stocks. You can choose."

Chen Songqing roared in a low voice:
"But I earned all this myself."

Fang Hexuan still replied calmly:
"It's true that I want to get some high-quality assets from you, but I don't want to get myself into too deep. Once you leave Hong Kong with the assets, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will definitely investigate the case thoroughly. If you ask for too much and the creditors suffer too much, they will hate you even more, and you may not even have a good ending in the end!"

After hearing this, Chen Songqing finally calmed down a little. He slumped down in the leather chair with a deathly pale face, holding his head in his hands, as if he was in pain.

Fang Hexuan didn't continue talking. He just picked up a folder on his right hand, opened it and casually read it again.

About five minutes later, when the other party's emotions had stabilized, Fang Hexuan continued:
"Here's a piece of advice for you. Make arrangements early and try to choose a country that has no ties with Britain, the United States or France or has no extradition agreement. Ten years of hiding will be enough."

"Oh, by the way, don't choose Switzerland, their neutrality is fake."

Chen Songqing listened quietly to the advice from the richest man in Hong Kong. He no longer felt the pain he had just felt. He just replied indifferently:
“It feels like a dream!”

"From the beginning, you have carefully woven a dream for yourself. Now it's time to wake up."

Feeling that this might be a bit hurtful, Fang Hexuan added another sentence.

"In fact, you are really talented. If I had been born a few years earlier and you had met me, I would have given you a big enough stage to display your intelligence and talents."

Although his purpose in saying this was to appease the other party, he also had some sincere thoughts in his heart.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Chen Songqing snorted coldly.

"The thing I am worst than you in this life is my luck!"

Fang Hexuan laughed and did not refute.

He could hear the arrogance and sarcasm in Chen Songqing's words, but what he said was not unreasonable.

To be honest, even if he had assets worth billions in his previous life, in terms of ability, he was really not as good as Chen Songqing.
