Chapter 591 This young man is so sinister!
No. 79, Deep Water Bay, Hong Kong Island, the Li family’s mansion.

Li Jiacheng sat on the sofa with a tired look on his face.

“Come, have some herbal tea to wake up your brain!”

At this time, the lady came over with a cup of cold tea and placed it in front of Li Jiacheng.

“Ok!”

Li Jiacheng took a sip and then put it down.

“Why, the matter with the Bao family hasn’t been resolved yet?”

Zhuang Yueming asked softly at this time.

“Yes, I don’t know where Bao Zeyang is hiding. I originally wanted someone from China Resources to come forward to negotiate, but I didn’t expect that the answer from China Resources was that they would need to understand the situation before they could come forward.”

“It strikes me as a bit odd, a bit of a weird reaction.”

According to the reception he received in Beijing before, China Resources or the people behind them should show sincerity at this time.

Suddenly saying that they want to find out is actually just delaying time. Could there be some changes in this?
“Do you think Bao Sheng has also communicated with them?”

“Although Bao Sheng is now a British citizen and is not the one they are striving for, his international status is there. His influence in Beijing may not be much weaker than yours.”

“If he speaks up, I think it would be normal for Beijing to make a trade-off and delay the process.”

Zhuang Yueming asked thoughtfully at this time.

Li Jiacheng first nodded, agreeing with his wife’s statement.

But then he said softly, “I actually had the same idea as you at first, but then I thought it was a bit too coincidental.”

“After all, I didn’t approach Huarun openly. Do you think Bao Yugang also contacted the capital at this time? Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?”

“And I always feel that Bao Yugang and Bao Zeyang’s companies don’t have much overlap in business. Although the two sides do cooperate, there is a clear division.”

“At present, the conflict between Bao Zeyang and I is not a big deal. In this case, Bao Yugang’s intervention is a bit of an exaggeration.”

Strictly speaking, his current corporate conflict with Li Changhe is still limited to the retail sector, and it can only be said that it is a branch of the enterprise.

For such a small matter, Bao Yugang wouldn’t need to report it to the capital, right?

“Could it be that Bao Zeyang himself has some influence in the capital?”

Zhuang Yueming asked hesitantly again at this time.

After listening to this, Li Jiacheng considered it for a while and shook his head again: “I have also considered this situation, but I don’t find that he has a deep connection with the mainland.”

“At least he didn’t go to Beijing like Bao Yugang did. Could it be that the mainland contacted him?”

“Moreover, he has spent most of his time in Europe and America in recent years, especially in the United States, where he is very active with senior officials. Under such circumstances, is it possible for him to contact Beijing?”

With Bao Zeyang’s status, even if he keeps a low profile, he will definitely not go unnoticed if he goes to the capital.

“Gacheng, I think you should see this!”

At this time, Zhuang Yueming walked to the side and took a newspaper.

“Look at this news!”

Zhuang Yueming pointed at a large title above and said to Li Jiacheng.

Li Jiacheng picked up the newspaper and took a look, then frowned slightly.

[Hong Kong films create another miracle, Planet Films’ work “Parasite” won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Art Festival]

“This Planet Film Company?”

Li Jiacheng asked hesitantly.

Zhuang Yueming nodded: “Yes, it is Bao Zeyang’s film company.”

“But I think you should pay attention to another point, that is, the creative team of this film are actually all from mainland China!”

“From the director to the actors, and even the filming location, everything was shot in Shanghai.”

“That’s not all. I also heard a piece of news. Do you want to know?”

“what news?”

Li Jiacheng looked at Zhuang Yueming seriously.

His wife is not just a housewife, but a good wife and has great talent in business.

Apart from anything else, he was on good terms with Shen Bi, and this was inseparable from the great help of Zhuang Yueming. Zhuang Yueming could converse fluently in English, which played a very important role when he first came into contact with Shen Bi.

“Planet Films has invested in building a film and television city in Shanghai. It is said that the investment amount is not small.”

“But the specific amount of investment is not clear, because the person I contacted does not hold a high position in the company. He just knows that this happened.”

“So I think that Bao Zeyang is not like you said, having no connection with the capital. In fact, he should have placed a bet, but he didn’t make his connection with the capital public.”

“Now with the Cannes incident, for the North, if it’s just Bao Zeyang, maybe he’s not as important as you, but if you add Bao Zeyang, Bao Yugang and the entire Bao family together, I think their weight is about the same.”

Zhuang Yueming analyzed to Li Jiacheng seriously. Actually, there was something she didn’t say. She felt that the Bao family was more important than their Li family.

“I see. That’s what I was thinking. China Resources’ reaction this time was a little strange.”

“Don’t tell me, what you said is really possible.”

Li Jiacheng said solemnly at this moment.

In fact, he seldom pays attention to gossip in the entertainment pages. Things like Bao Zeyang’s Planet Films are not within his scope of attention.

It was just a small film company, with a profit of only tens of millions a year, less than what he could earn from selling a building. He didn’t take it seriously before.

But now it seems that Bao Zeyang has established contact with the mainland through this small company?
Yes, the mainland attaches great importance to literary and artistic propaganda. In Hong Kong, there have always been many people in the literary and artistic circles who have close ties with that side.

“It seems that I underestimated him this time.”

“Although he is young, he is very experienced and is betting on both sides. In this case, it will be difficult to pressure him through the capital.”

Li Jiacheng said with emotion.

How come this young man is so “not young”? He operates as steady as an old dog, but behaves like an old pervert in private.

Only now did he realize that Bao Zeyang actually had an affair with the mainland?
Before, this young man quietly acquired Macau Entertainment, but when he used Xinji, he found out that the society had already knelt down to him.

“I think we still have to ask Bao Sheng to step in this time.”

“Letting him negotiate may be more effective.”

“Of course, we may have to shed some blood, and you can’t do anything to him easily in the future.”

“The other party looks young, but his methods are extraordinary.”

At this time, Zhuang Yueming spoke softly to Li Jiacheng.

Li Jiacheng nodded: “Yes, I feel the same way now.”

“Actually, I didn’t want to look for Bao Yugang before because I wanted to keep some friendship.”

“The favor from Wharf Holdings is used up every time. My original intention was to use this favor to strengthen the relationship with HSBC.” “After all, Bao Yugang has a lot of face in HSBC and the British.”

“But now it seems that finding him is indeed the best way.”

“Let me give him a call to see if he’s home.”

At this time, in the Bao family’s mansion, Bao Yugang was also having dinner with Li Changhe.

After Li Changhe came back from the mainland, he had nothing to do, so he came here with a gift.

Although the two of them call each other uncle and nephew and their relationship is close now, feelings still need to be maintained through frequent visits.

No one comes to you for no reason. If you come to someone to ask for help when you need something, it’s not called affection, it’s called exploitation.

At the dinner table, Bao Yugang was chatting with Li Changhe about Nanyang University.

“Your idea of ​​rebuilding Nanyang University in Singapore is good, but you overlooked one person.”

“Please give me some advice, uncle.”

Li Changhe asked Bao Yugang seriously.

Bao Yugang slowly said a person’s name.

“Huang Zuyao!”

“Huang Zuyao?”

Hearing the name, Li Changhe read it out curiously. He was indeed quite unfamiliar with this person.

“This person holds a very special position in Singapore. He is the president of the Federation of Chinese Clan Associations, the chairman of the Kinmen Association, the chairman of the Fujian Association, and the president of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce.”

“It can be said that he is now the number one Chinese businessman in Singapore. Even Lee Kuan Yao does not dare to take action against him easily because he is still the controller of United Overseas Bank.”

“In addition, he is the actual supporter behind Nanyang University today. After Tan Lark Sye was forced out of Singapore by Lee Kuan Yew, Huang Zuoyao has become the pillar of Nanyang University.”

“If you want to rebuild Nanyang University, it’s not enough to just reach an agreement with Lee Kuan Yew. You also have to reach an agreement with Wee Cho Yaw. Otherwise, even if you build this school, it won’t be able to develop.”

After listening to this, Li Changhe seemed to be thinking about something.

He was indeed unfamiliar with this name, whether in his past life or this life. This meant that this Singaporean boss was rarely seen in the news in his past life.

Obviously, the other party cannot be classified as a patriotic overseas Chinese, and the other party supports Nanyang University. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Changhe knows the other party’s general position.

They recognize Chinese culture and traditions, but not necessarily the mainland. They may be more pro-island.

In that case, Li Changhe thought about it and shook his head.

“Uncle, I don’t think it’s that complicated. If we follow what you said, Huang Zuoyao’s influence on Nanyang University mainly comes from the teacher and student community, or cultural identity.”

“But according to the agreement reached between me and Lee Kuan Yew, Nanyang University will focus on science and engineering in the future. In other words, my philosophy is actually contrary to that of Huang Zuoyao.”

“It is impossible for the other party to agree to turn Nanyang University into Nanyang Technological University, so I think that if I go to talk to him, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reach any results.”

“In fact, although he has a high position and many connections, Nanyang University was still closed down. This shows that in Singapore, these people are no match for Lee Kuan Yew.”

“So I think instead of negotiating with both sides, it is better to just bet on Lee Kuan Yew. I think Lee Kuan Yew’s control over Singapore will become stronger and stronger, and his ideas will be more recognized by Europe and the United States.”

“From the perspective of the Polytechnic Institute, working with Lee Kuan Yao is more advantageous than working with Huang Zuoyao and others.”

Li Changhe thought for a while and analyzed it to Bao Yugang.

Bao Yugang listened, pondered for a moment, and then nodded slowly: “What you said actually makes sense. The theories of the two parties are indeed diametrically opposed.”

“Your development of science and engineering is indeed more in line with Lee Kuan Yao’s philosophy. On this point, it is indeed difficult for you to reach a balance with Huang Zuoyao.”

“Besides, your identity over there is not suitable to be exposed to him. Well, let’s not contact him then.”

“Anyway, I have some respect with Old Huang. If you really get into trouble, I can help you out.”

“Thank you, uncle!”

“Master, Mr. Li Jiacheng called and wants to come visit you!”

Just then, the servant of the family came over and said respectfully.

“Li Jiacheng?”

Bao Yugang finished listening and then looked at Li Changhe.

“Ayang, is it because of your matter again?”

He had heard a little about the current conflict between Li Jiacheng and Li Changhe, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.

He knew Li Changhe’s strength better than anyone else. It was wishful thinking for Li Jiacheng to take advantage of him.

“I guess so, uncle. I think it’s better to let him come and I’ll stay out of the way for now.”

“But if he wants you to come forward and solve our problem, I hope you can refuse him.”

“What? You want to defeat him completely?”

Bao Yu just heard what Li Changhe said and asked hesitantly.

Then, Bao Yugang continued, “Ayang, I know you are very strong now, but you should not underestimate Li Jiacheng.”

“Don’t think that he only has connections with HSBC or Beijing. In fact, he has many friends in Hong Kong Island.”

“In the past few years, the Chinese business community was fighting against the British and Americans. Those who were engaged in real estate all clung to each other for support. Therefore, he had a close relationship with Sun Hung Kai and some other Chinese families.”

“They might sit back and do nothing about an ordinary fight, but if you really want to beat Li Jiacheng to death, they won’t sit back and do nothing.”

Bao Yugang said seriously.

Li Changhe nodded: “I know, uncle, I actually never thought of beating him to death with a stick.”

“I just think that this time we can find a chance to make him bleed a little.”

“In fact, he had already found the capital before you.”

“This time I want to leave the opportunity to Beijing. I want China Resources to get involved in the real estate development of Huangpu Shipping!”

Li Changhe did not hide his intention and spoke seriously to Bao Yugang.

After Bao Yugang finished listening, he looked at Li Changhe in surprise.

China Resources involved in Huangpu Dockyard?

Huangpu Dockyard is a large piece of land with a good location. If it is developed into real estate, it will have great potential.

“That’s it, I understand!”

“Okay, then I understand.”

On the other side, Li Jiacheng, who had obtained Bao Yugang’s consent, changed his clothes and took a car to Bao Yugang’s home.

He is not like Li Changhe, who would just stroll to a rented house for no reason.
