Chapter 283 Stock Increase
As soon as Jiu Wenlong and his crew got off the boat, fifty bodyguards immediately boarded the boat to perform security. Even the crew members on the cargo ship were required not to move around until the cargo was safely unloaded at the dock.
This first batch of treasures was packed into 86 wooden boxes of different sizes, some rectangular and some square. They were unloaded separately onto five large trucks by a gantry crane.
There were two armed bodyguards in front and behind each car, and there were ten SUVs in front and behind the five trucks to escort them all the way to Yuen Long. It can be said that the security was very tight.
This time the team was led by Xu Guohua himself, so after Fang Hexuan gave him a few brief instructions, Old Xu waved his arm and instructed everyone to get in the car and leave.
The richest man Fang did not go to Yuen Long with them. He was not that anxious. His current task was to accompany Jiu Wenlong and the others to eat and drink well.
In order to entertain the heroes, Fang Hexuan rented a yacht in advance and took everyone directly from Tsing Yi Island to Aberdeen.
It was just after noon when we arrived at Jumbo Floating Restaurant, and the group filed in one after another.
Before long, top-notch seafood, luxurious rare animal meat and expensive wines were all served.
As the big boss and the planner of the whole operation, Fang Hexuan personally brought wine and toasted a few glasses at each table.
The banquet lasted for more than three hours and the dishes were changed twice.
For those who have been in Barak for nearly two years, it is a great pleasure to be able to eat hometown food, especially the top seafood feast that is famous in Hong Kong.
As soon as the top-quality grouper was served, those who were a beat slower had no time to react and only the head and tail of the fish were left.
This situation also made Fang Hexuan's bodyguards at the other table feel shocked.
The bodyguards all have experience living in the army. They eat faster than they eat, and ordinary people can hardly compare to them.
But today really opened their eyes!
Jiu Wenlong was also embarrassed. He leaned close to Fang Hexuan's ear and explained a few words, receiving a nod and a gentle smile from the other party.
Fang Hexuan called the manager who was responsible for serving them.
"Please continue to cook in the kitchen. If any of our tables have empty dishes, please add one or two more."
The manager smiled very happily, bowed and nodded flatteringly:
"Don't worry, Mr. Fang, I will make sure your friends have good food and drink!"
The meal lasted until four in the afternoon. Afterwards, Fang Hexuan arranged for them to go to a nightclub in Central to have a good night, which could be considered a complete success.
He himself crossed the sea with Jiu Wenlong to eat hot pot at Jiulong Ice House.
In June, for Hong Kong people, if they really want to indulge in hotpot, then choosing an ice house is undoubtedly the best choice.
Because it's the most air-conditioned inside, you don't have to sweat over the boiling hot soup.
Fang Hexuan, Da Yanming and Jiu Wenlong were friends in need. Although he became very successful afterwards, he would occasionally have dinner with the two of them, and he especially liked hotpot.
The purpose of doing this is of course to win people's hearts, but Fang Hexuan did want to live a down-to-earth life at the beginning.
However, two years after Da Yanming and Jiu Wenlong left Hong Kong, he rarely visited this kind of fly-in-the-wall restaurant with a strong sense of life.
The tripe soup in the casserole had begun to boil. Jiu Wenlong quickly added some vegetables from the table into the soup. Fang Hexuan took the initiative to pick up the beer bottle and filled a glass for him and himself.
"Come on, Brother Long, let's have a drink to celebrate your return to Hong Kong!"
"Thank you, Master Xuan!"
As the cold and refreshing beer went down his throat, Fang Hexuan felt as if all the pores on his body were opened, and he felt refreshed. "It's so refreshing! Brother Long, you don't know how long it has been since I last had a meal like this. It's never this refreshing when I dine in a high-end restaurant or hotel!"
Upon hearing this, Jiu Wenlong looked at him with complicated eyes, and could only silently complain in his heart:
"Da Yanming and I are eager to trade with you."
"Mr. Xuan is a man who does great things. How can he often come to these small restaurants to eat?"
Fang Hexuan did not respond, but continued to fill up Dayanming and his own glasses with beer.
"Come on, let's have another drink. Thank you Brother Long and Brother Ming for helping me realize my dream!"
"Master Xuan hired us because he thinks highly of us. I dare not thank you."
Fang Hexuan noticed that Jiu Wenlong's words were a bit awkward and unfamiliar, and knew that his knot in his heart had not been untied, so he poured another glass.
"Brother Long, what's past is past. I don't blame you. Really, if I were you, I would have the same thoughts, but fortunately the result is still perfect."
Jiu Wenlong's heart trembled, and a lot of the beer he had just raised splashed out due to his shaking elbow.
"Don't think too much. Rest at home for a few days and accompany your aunt and little sister."
"Five days later, I need you to go back to Barak and assist Mingge."
When Fang Hexuan said these words, his eyes were fixed on Jiu Wenlong, his expression was serious and earnest.
Jiuwenlong's throat moved and he nodded unconsciously, feeling a lot more comforted.
As long as the other party continues to use him, it means that the other party is really willing to continue to trust him. This is extremely important to Jiu Wenlong.
······
The next day, June 6, Far East Group boss Qiu Degen announced through the media that he would spend HK$16 million to acquire 50% of the shares of Rediffusion Television Limited.
This also means that the Qiu Degen family officially became the largest shareholder of Rediffusion Television. At the same time, he also decided to change the name of Rediffusion Television to Asia Television (ATV).
The announcement shocked the entire Hong Kong, especially the media industry.
Fang Hexuan knew that Qiu Degen would take over ATV, but he was not sure about the specific time of the acquisition.
I chatted with Jiu Wenlong until midnight last night. As soon as I entered the company with a dizzy head in the morning, I received a call from Fang Yihua.
The purpose of this phone call did not surprise him. Naturally, Uncle Six wanted to convene a meeting of major shareholders to discuss countermeasures.
In the two major industries of film and television and media, Run Run Shaw believed that his qualifications and experience were far superior to those of Qiu Degen, but in terms of financial resources, he was a little stretched.
With Uncle Six's stingy character, his personal wealth has not exceeded HK$30 billion so far, and most of it is real estate.
If Uncle Six really wants to compete with the Far East Group to see who dares to invest more money in the field of television production, his personal strength is undoubtedly not enough.
Therefore, Fang Hexuan analyzed that Run Run Shaw asked Fang Yihua to call these shareholders one by one, and his real purpose was to hope that everyone could work together.
It was okay to ask small shareholders like them to pay, but if Uncle Six was unwilling to give in on the shares, Fang Hexuan was not going to give him this face, even if they were fellow villagers who he often met up with.
Humph, if you want money, please take out more shares!
Thanks to Huo Chiyan for the recommendation!
