Chen Chong is very concerned about China Resources because in his memory, except for this company, other Hong Kong consortiums, whether it is Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong's Industrial or Pao Yugang's Hutchison Whampoa, none of them can rush around and gain a foothold in the mainland.

In October 1979, Li Ka-shing went to Beijing to participate in related activities of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He was one of the three first Hong Kong directors of CITIC Group. In the RU era, he invested quite a few in the mainland, and the hat of patriotic capitalists was steadily worn. However, in 1991, he invested more than 3 billion yuan to build the Hong Kong TV Chinese Channel. After it was broadcast, it was in the mainland for less than two years and was kicked out.

Jin Yong was repeatedly received by mainland leaders during the RU era and was a member of the Hong Kong Basic Law Drafting Committee. Ming Pao was also recognized as a mainland newspaper at that time. In 2019, Deng Gong visited the southern tour and advocated adhering to reform and deepening reform. "A media joint venture can be tried." In 1993, Ming Pao Group invested nearly 100 million yuan and jointly invested with the Guangdong Provincial Trade Promotion Association to establish the first full-color daily "Modern People's Daily". Two months later, the State Press and Publication Administration issued a document that was not allowed to publish or print, and news units cooperated with foreign investment. The Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the Provincial People's Congress operated on all sides, and even the provincial party secretary personally pleaded with each other, which was useless and was soon euthanized.

Therefore, if you want to build a media group in China, you must have a "national" iron hat, otherwise you won't be able to play for a long time. China Resources, which is about to be transformed from a government agency to a joint-stock group, is the best opportunity for Shen Chong, a "Hong Konger" to acquire a backdoor, and he must seize it.

However, the situation of China Resources is very complicated. It has dozens of departments operating in different industries, including leather, breeding, real estate, finance, hardware, transportation, etc., and everything is messy, and the management is also mixed. Under Zhang Guangdou, in addition to Zhang Yongcheng and Zhang Zheng, there are more than a dozen people with the title of deputy manager. Whoever is standing behind him and who is the confidant of whom. Chen Chong is completely confused. If he is not careful, he will be touched and cause trouble that he should not be caused.

On one hand, there are attractive prospects and on the other hand, there are dangerous reefs. This is the reason why Chen Chong is anxious and reckless.

"Manager Zhang, please relax and rest well. Now that science is developed, this minor illness will be cured soon."

"Xiao Shen is interested and comes to see me, the old man." Zhang Guangdou lies halfway on the hospital bed and said with a wry smile: "My family knows his family affairs. I am in my sixties and seventies. How good can I be. Fortunately, I didn't have a stroke this time, my hands and feet can move, so I won't be lying on the bed and let people feed them, eating and waiting to die."

"What does Manager Zhang say?" Chen Chong smiled and persuaded, "Auspicious people have their own appearance. I asked the doctor, "You have no other problems. As long as you don't work too much, pay attention to rest, live a life-long life until you are 100 years old, there is no problem at all."

"Xiao Shen, people like you and me are busy or not, and they can't help but make decisions on their own." Zhang Guangdou shook his head gently, sighed, and said, "But it's okay now. I've been busy all my life. It's time to step down and enjoy a few days of leisure."

The words of being busy and not being busy can make Chen Chong feel worried. After he came out of the hospital, he went to the senior mansion of HSBC Bank in the mountains without stopping to meet Chen Bi.

The mansion with an area of ​​up to 44UU square meters is indeed extraordinary. Chen Bi's study is like a small library full of European classical style. Chen Chong followed the butler. When he walked in, he was wearing glasses and standing on a small ladder that could slide on the wall, flipping through a thick large book.

"Alan, welcome." Chen Bi held the ladder with his left hand, raised his right arm very exaggeratedly, made a gesture, and said, "Please wait a moment, I'm looking for a piece of information."

"Please." Chen Chong looked up, looked around, and after watching for a while, he said, "There is a very grand study room, where people have become very small, and I like it."

"If you like it, you can build a room." Chen Bi inserted the book in his hand into the bookshelf, changed another book, and said, "I know a very outstanding architect, and I can introduce it to you."

"Let's talk about it later." Chen Chong walked slowly while slashing the bookshelf in the first row with his fingers and said, "Books are for reading, not for decoration. I haven't calmed down to read for a long time. When I have time, I will build a good study room."

"Alan, in front of knowledge, you have a humble heart, which is great." Chen Bi turned the pages and shouted after a while: "Ha finally found me."

"If you don't mind, can I ask what you're looking for?"

"It's nothing, just to verify a small controversy about history." Chen Bi took the book, walked down the ladder, pointed to the wide and thick desk in the middle of the house, and said, "Alan, please sit there."

After Shen Chong sat down, he touched the desk casually. He felt that the material was quite delicate and asked, "Is this red sandalwood?"

"Maybe, my ex stayed, I don't know much about wood." Chen Bi shook his head, put down the book, and said, "Allen, I regret to inform you that the board of directors has not approved the aircraft rental transaction.

"Oh?" Chen Chong raised his brow and asked, "Is there a reason?"

"Some people on the board of directors are worried that there will be changes in China's domestic policies and are unwilling to take risks." Chen Bi said helplessly: "Allen, I work hard to promote this business, but HSBC is not me alone, so I'm sorry."

The aircraft rental business is stable and profitable, but not fast enough. The contract time is as long as 20 or 30 years, so it is very troublesome to manage it. Moreover, this business is almost incompatible with the media. Chen Chong is too lazy to bother with the trouble, so he wants to transfer it to HSBC and make a personal favor.

Unexpectedly, kindness came to my door, but they didn't want it...

"Nh1, you don't have to apologize." Chen Chong waved his hand indifferently and said, "Since HSBC doesn't want it, I'll transfer it to someone else."

"Allen, in fact, I want to ask you for a favor." Chen Bi looked at him, thought about his words, and said, "Can you keep this business in your hands first, wait for a while before reselling it to HSBC? I can guarantee you that there will be no problems next time, and the price can be increased."

Chen Chong was very sensitive and immediately realized something was wrong with it and asked, "What? Someone in the board of directors of HSBC is unhappy with me?"

"No, no, you misunderstood." Chen Bi said with a very friendly professional smile: "Allen, you are the most honorable customer of HSBC. Every director respects you very much, but you know that Jardine Whampoa and Sir Pao Yugang are now competing for Hutchison Whampoa. Jardine Whampoa is an old customer of HSBC, and Ngbi Kan is also an important figure in the board of directors. You are holding a large number of Hutchison Whampoa stocks in your hand. Now you are talking about the aircraft rental business, which is too sensitive."
