James Bond said calmly.
“Okay, Bond, you’re right. We’ll make our move after we confirm Li Jun’s identity with the bug we put on Li Wenbin.”
"Sowers said with a smile."
"Director Sowers, there's one thing I really admire about you: you've truly gone to any lengths to complete the mission. I heard this building is a hundred years old, what a pity."
James Bond turned to look at the Guangdong restaurant in front of him and sighed.
"Bond, now I finally understand why you're so popular with women. Even I, as a woman, am attracted to that melancholy air of yours."
Looking at James Bond's melancholy and wistful expression, Sowers smiled and said...
“Sows, I heard you have three daughters, all blonde like you…”
James Bond's words were cut short by Sawers's murderous gaze.
at the same time.
Inside the Guangdong East Restaurant.
Li Jun and three others, totaling 683 people, arrived at the door of the private room where Li Wenbin was, led by a waiter.
"Mr. Li, your guest has arrived."
The waiter at the Guangdong Restaurant knocked on the door of the private room and spoke.
Upon hearing the waiter's voice, Li Wenbin, who was in the private room, slightly shifted his gaze and then said, "Come in!"
The next second, the trio in sunglasses appeared in front of Li Wenbin.
"Mr. Li?"
Li Wenbin looked at the man in front of him, whose build was similar to Li Jun's but who was wearing large sunglasses, and asked with some confusion.
However, in the next second, Li Wenbin's expression suddenly changed, because the man in sunglasses in front of him displayed a page of paper in front of him.
The paper had a line written on it: "Li Sir, your son is in our hands. If you want your son to be safe, then recognize me as Li Jun."
"..."
At this moment, Li Wenbin's face was extremely ugly, not only because his son had been 'kidnapped' by Li Jun, but also because he never expected that his conspiracy would be seen through by Li Jun.
Li Wenbin racked his brains but couldn't figure out where he went wrong.
But now Li Wenbin has no choice, because he only has one son, Li Jiajun. If he had to choose between his ideals and his son, Li Wenbin might choose his ideals.
But if he had to choose between saving his son and keeping it a secret from the foreigners, Li Wenbin would definitely choose to save his son.
So, without much thought, Li Wenbin said directly, "Hello, Mr. Li."
Outside the Yue Dong Restaurant, after hearing Li Wenbin's words from the receiver, Saworth and James Bond exchanged a glance. Then, James Bond immediately started the car and drove further away.
Ten seconds later.
A deafening roar echoed throughout Central, Hong Kong Island.
The Yue Dong Restaurant, which had stood in Central, Hong Kong Island for a century, collapsed like a stack of overturned building blocks.
At this very moment, Li Wenbin, who carried the wishes of two generations and was wholeheartedly dedicated to the future of the Hong Kong Police Force, disappeared from the historical stage of Hong Kong Island.
From the very beginning, the moment Li Wenbin decided to cooperate with the foreigners, the foreigners included Li Wenbin on their kill list.
After all, if it weren't for Li Wenbin's 'betrayal,' the foreigners wouldn't have lost so badly in the police force!
Li Wenbin thought he was maneuvering left and right, doing everything he could, but the foreigner didn't follow his script.
Since killing one Li Jun was the same as killing another Li Wenbin, Li Wenbin thought he could rely on the foreigners to kill Li Jun, but the foreigners showed no martial ethics and killed him as well.
At this time, less than three hours had passed since Chen Taoran signed the letter of appointment for Deputy Commissioner of Police Li Wenbin. In other words, the shortest-serving Deputy Commissioner of Police in the history of the Hong Kong Island Police Force was born...
[183] The Battle of Central that Shook the Entire Hong Kong Island
Luk Yu Tea House, Central.
This is a time-honored teahouse that is as famous as the Guangdong East Restaurant.
Although it hasn't been around as long as Yue Dong Restaurant, its reputation is in no way inferior to Yue Dong Restaurant, and may even be slightly better.
The main reason is that the owner of Luk Yu Tea House is from Shanghai. In the 50s, a group of wealthy people from Shanghai's Bund came to Hong Kong Island with huge sums of money and regarded Luk Yu Tea House as a gathering point, which made Luk Yu Tea House famous.
Even today, many wealthy people still consider Lu Yu Teahouse their first choice for socializing with friends.
For example, Li Zhaoji was also a VIP at Lu Yu Tea House.
The private room with the character "甲" on the second floor of Lu Yu Tea House.
"Fourth Uncle, this is a fresh shipment of Longjing tea that just arrived from the mainland. I've specially saved it for you; I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
As a VIP guest of Lu Yu Tea House, Li Zhaoji was naturally not received by an ordinary waiter of Lu Yu Tea House, but by Li Nianji, the young owner of Lu Yun Tea House.
Despite being called the young boss, Li Nianji is actually over forty years old. The reason he is still considered the young boss is only because of his father, Li Tianyun, one of the founders of Lu Yu Tea House, who is too diligent and refuses to retire even at nearly 80 years old.
“Aji, I’ve always trusted the tea at your Lu Yu Tea House.”
Li Zhaoji replied with a smile.
"Fourth Uncle, please enjoy your meal."
After saying this, Li Nianji left the private room.
A few minutes later.
Hu Yingxing and Guo Desheng were led by Li Nianji into the private room where Li Zhaoji was.
"Fourth Uncle, the private room next door has been sealed off for you. Please continue your conversation."
After saying this, Li Nianji left the private room and closed the door tightly behind him.
5. "Old Hu, Old Guo, my people just did the math for me. Given Swire Group's current situation, it would take at least HK$80 billion to stabilize its share price at its current level."
"This means that each of our four companies will need to contribute an additional HK$2 billion. Most importantly, who can guarantee that Swire Group won't have any more negative news?"
After Li Nianji closed the door to the private room, Li Zhaoji got straight to the point.
"Old Li, what are your plans?"
Hu Yingxing looked at Li Zhaoji and asked.
"Old Hu, Old Guo, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you. Actually, I've been acquiring the ding rights of indigenous people in the New Territories, preparing to use the land in the New Territories to get rid of the foreigners' control."
“I admit that foreigners have indeed given me a lot of help over the years, but I’ve had enough of this feeling of being inferior. Now the whole of Hong Kong calls me, Li Zhaoji, a Western-worshipping dog. Foreigners don’t treat me like a human being either. I’ve had enough.”
Li Zhaoji spoke slowly, word by word.
“Old Li, it’s not just you who’s had enough, I’ve had enough too. But all the land we own is tied up in HSBC and Standard Chartered. If they force us to repay the loans, the best outcome for our company will be to cut our losses and survive.”
After Li Zhaoji finished speaking, Guo Desheng said with a helpless expression.
"Old Li, you received that file folder too, right?"
At this moment, Hu Yingxing looked at Li Zhaoji and asked.
Upon hearing Hu Yingxing's words, Li Zhaoji and Guo Desheng's expressions both changed slightly.
"Sure enough, you two received it too."
Li Zhaoji sighed softly and spoke slowly.
"Old Li, now that we've all received that file, let's have an open and honest discussion. Do you think the contents of that file are trustworthy?"
Hu Yingxing looked at Li Zhaoji and Guo Desheng and asked.
"The loan documents from OCBC Bank and Pangu Bank are all in there, so what's there to trust or not? The question now is, should we risk everything to break free from the foreigners' control!"
As soon as Hu Yingxing finished speaking, Guo Desheng immediately spoke up.
The document bag that Li Jun gave to Li Zhaoji, Hu Yingxing, and Guo Desheng contained not only his plan to deal with the Swire Group, but also loan applications from OCBC Bank and Pangoal Institution.
The two applications even had the signatures and personal seals of Pangu Bank Chairman Tan Thye Seng and OCBC Chairman Tan Kam Hin affiliated.
All Li Zhaoji, Hu Yingxing, and Guo Desheng needed to do was fill in the amount they needed on the application form, and they could get the required amount of money from Pangu Bank and OCBC Bank.
Pangoal Institution and OCBC Bank were the largest and second largest banks in Southeast Asia, respectively. Chen Taicheng and Chen Jinxian were both renowned tycoons in the global Chinese community. Li Zhaoji, Hu Yingxing, and Guo Desheng had no doubt about this.
They were just curious about what price Li Jun had paid to obtain these six loan applications from Chen Taicheng and Chen Jinxian.
Li Zhaoji, Hu Yingxing, and Guo Desheng were naturally unaware that Chen Taicheng and Chen Jinxian were two members of the Nanyang Chinese Alliance, and that Li Jun had a close relationship with them.
The three of them had no idea what price Li Jun had paid to get Chen Taicheng and Chen Jinxian to provide those six loan applications.
On the island of New Guinea, apart from the gold mine, the priority development rights for all other mineral resources were obtained for Chen Taicheng and Chen Jinxian.
Li Jun knew very well that a common goal could bring several people together, but to get others to willingly work for him, shared interests were also needed.
These mineral resources, along with large tracts of land in New Guinea suitable for rubber cultivation, were in his shared interests with several prominent figures in the Southeast Asian Chinese Alliance.
Li Jun's extravagant gesture stunned Li Zhaoji, Hu Yingxing, and Guo Desheng, and instantly stirred up their rebellious feelings towards the foreigners.
Li Jun's move was a completely open conspiracy, blatantly telling Li Zhaoji, Hu Yingxing, and Guo Desheng, "I'm going to use the three of you to deal with the foreigners. Do you dare to follow me?"
After Guo Desheng finished speaking, both he and Hu Yingxing turned their gazes to Li Zhaoji.
As the strongest of the three, Li Zhaoji's opinion was obviously very important at this moment.
"Old Hu, Old Guo, actually I hesitated for a long time and never knew what to choose. I was unhappy with following the foreigners, but I was afraid that all my years of hard work would be in vain if I didn't follow them."
