Chapter 159 The Governor of Hong Kong Apologizes Publicly!
Lin Fei walked into the conference room and looked around.
A large mahogany round table is centered around black high-backed chairs.
A projector is located in a corner, ready to provide visual support for the meeting at any time.
Sitting on one side of the table were two men, both in their forties and fifties, dressed in well-fitting suits and meticulously combed hair.
One of them stood up and walked towards Lin Fei with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, it's a great honor to meet you. I'm Smith of the Governor's House, and this is my colleague William. "
"Smith, William, what's the matter?"
Lin Fei asked expressionlessly, his gaze swept over Smith, fell on William, and then refocused on Smith.
Smith was slightly stunned, and then smiled disguisedly: "Mr. Lin, you have always been known for being direct, so don't beat around the bush."
The Hong Kong Governor's Office has recently paid attention to the instability of the market, and we hope to invite you to have dinner at the Hong Kong Governor's Office tomorrow and evening to further explore some possible cooperation options. "
Lin Fei glanced at the quartz clock on the table, and the hour hand was already pointing to half past nine: "Oh, Mr. Youde was suddenly so polite to me, Lin was a little flattered!"
Smith's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but explain: "The recent financial market is very complex, and the Hong Kong Governor's Office needs the cooperation of all parties to maintain stability. "
Lin Fei coldly raised the corners of Lin Fei's eyes slightly: "It depends on which angle it is stabilized." "
Smithton was speechless, but still stubbornly said: "We want more influential people like Mr. Lin to participate in the action of maintaining market stability, rather than being on the opposite side." "
Lin Fei glanced at Smith, and then said slowly, "Okay, I'm willing to listen to your proposals. But I want to be clear, if your plans aren't forward-looking, there's probably nothing I can do about it. "
Smith was a little uncomfortable, but he still stubbornly said: "We believe that the cooperation with Mr. Lin will be beneficial to both parties." "
Lin Fei observed Smith and William quietly, and then slowly spoke: "Okay, since Mr. Youde intends to meet with me, then I can't refuse. Tomorrow evening, I will be on time for the appointment. "
Smith was visibly relieved: "That's great, I'm sure this meeting will be very pleasant." "
"Pleasant?"
Lin Fei stood up: "Then it depends on what we are talking about tomorrow night, send off the guests." "
Smith and William immediately got up, thanked them, and took their leave.
Looking at the back of the two leaving, Lin Fei sat back in his chair.
"Zhou Lu, inform Qiao Jiakang, tell him what will happen tomorrow night, and let him get ready. "
"Understood, Mr. Lin. "
The dining room at the Governor's House is elegantly decorated, with huge chandeliers casting soft light on the mahogany tables and delicate silverware.
A series of Chinese and Western dishes are served one after another, and the atmosphere seems to be harmonious, but there is an indescribable sense of tension.
Youde sat at one end of the table, no longer wearing a daytime business suit, but a custom-made evening gown with a pair of white gloves on his hands.
"Mr. Lin, I would like to express my deepest apologies for some misunderstandings in the past. I hope that we can face the challenges of the future together with a new starting point. "
Yude was calm but with a hint of arrogance.
Lin Fei pondered his words for a moment, and then said, "The so-called misunderstanding is probably not just a misunderstanding, right?"
Youde smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Mr. Lin." Sometimes, the government has to do what is necessary to maintain order. But please understand that it's all for the big picture, and in the long run, our goals are the same. "
Lin Fei raised his eyebrows, this guy was really a veteran, and his words were sharp: "The overall situation? "
Youde picked up his wine glass and glanced at Lin Fei deeply: "Mr. Lin, you are an indispensable part of this overall situation. Your influence and your financial resources are important assets for us to maintain the stability of this market. "
Lin Fei smiled: "So, what are you going to use to solve each other's misunderstanding?"
Youde put down his glass: "We are willing to revoke all previous sanctions against you. We are also willing to give more support and convenience to Feilong Group in some major projects in the future. "
Lin Fei stood up and put the wine glass back on the table: "Mr. Hong Kong Governor, I will consider your proposal." "
Lin Fei glanced at the gorgeous restaurant environment, and then returned to the topic.
"Since you want to talk, you have to show sincerity, right?"
Lin Fei's eyes were sharp, almost penetrating the other party.
Youde smiled slightly, trying his best to maintain his demeanor: "Of course, Mr. Lin. What do you want, just mention. "
"It's simple. "
Lin Fei smiled, but his smile was not warm: "First, I want you to publicly apologize and clarify all false accusations." "
Hearing this, Youde's face was already extremely pale: "Do you think I will apologize? Mr. Lin is not humorous. "
Lin Fei's eyes flashed with a cold light that could not be ignored, and he said in a good manner: "This is not humor, my Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong, I think, you have not yet understood a fact that determines the quality of the economy of Hong Kong, it is not me, but His Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong."
Youde's brows furrowed slightly: "What do you mean by that?"
Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders and said: "The cause of the incident, isn't it that the Hong Kong Governor deliberately suppressed our Chinese capital and suppressed me? Now that the Hong Kong stock market and the Hong Kong dollar have plummeted, is it that I caused all this?"
Youde squinted.
Lin Fei said lightly: "From beginning to end, it was Your Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong who did it, and Xiangjiang fell into such a panicked situation, and it was also because of the Governor of Hong Kong, so at this time, I think, Your Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong, you need to personally come out and set an example and tell all the citizens of Xiangjiang that the Governor of Hong Kong does not mean to target Chinese capital!"
A sneer hung on Youde's face, "So, you mean I should publicly apologize to you?"
"Isn't this necessary?" Youde said coldly, "You now, immediately, immediately stop the rumors of the TV station!"
"The TV station is not rumor-mongering, but telling the truth, what has happened, how can I justify!" Youde said coldly: "Mr. Lin, do you really think that the Hong Kong government has nothing you can do?"
"Your Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong, don't you think it's ridiculous?" Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "But if you really have a way, you won't negotiate with me here!"
Youde said coldly, "Mr. Lin, are you threatening me?"
"It's not that I'm threatening you, but times have changed!" Lin Fei said with a smile: "Think about it, think about it...... If Your Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong does not come out to apologize in person, how can the people of Hong Kong believe you? If you do not come out to apologize in person, how can you appease the Chinese capital?"
"I refuse to be threatened by you!" said Yud coldly.
Lin Fei talked with both hands: "Then I can only say that it is a pity." "
At this time, Youde finally couldn't help but burst out: "Haha, Mr. Lin has a lot of appetite." "
Lin Fei seemed to hear the answer he wanted to hear: "Where is this, I haven't talked about compensation yet." Because of your so-called misunderstanding, I have lost a lot. "
Youde's face was still slightly uncomfortable. He didn't seem to have recovered from the anger he had just had.
"Mr. Governor, if you are sincere in solving the problem, please listen carefully to me. "
Lin Fei said, picking up a report on the table, "You have publicly smeared me and my company, which has caused me a very big reputational loss. According to our preliminary estimates, this loss is worth at least 50 million. "
Youde's eyes flickered slightly, but there was still a hint of disdain at the corners of his mouth.
Lin Fei continued, "Due to your false statements, our company's stock price fell, resulting in heavy losses for investors. For this item, we tentatively estimate it at 30 million. "
Youde's face became even more ugly.
"Because of your actions, we had to spend a lot of time and energy to deal with it, including legal fees, crisis PR costs, and so on. This item, about 10 million. "
Youde finally couldn't hold back and interrupted Lin Fei's words: "Do you think I will agree to these nonsense?"
Lin Fei didn't respond to his question, but continued: "These expenses add up, a total of ninety million. I ask you to make public the compensation and it must be accompanied by an apology statement. "
Hearing this, Youde finally couldn't help but stand up, his face turned pale: "Why do you think you can pinch me now and let me pay you 90 million?"
Lin Fei slowly stood up and looked at Youde calmly: "Don't get excited, you invited me over, this gives a solution, whether to accept it or not is your problem." "
Youde trembled with rage, as if he was going to explode at any moment, but finally gritted his teeth and sat down. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Mr. Lin, this is beyond the scope of my decision. "
"Oh, really?"
Lin Fei deliberately pretended to be surprised: "Then, I suggest you go back and discuss it with your superiors." Remember, without compensation, everything is empty talk. "
Youde was obviously angry, but he still held back: "Lin Fei, I have to say, you guy is really a lion!"
Lin Fei picked up the wine glass and knocked on the table gently: "There is a third request." "[]
"Article three?"
Youde asked, almost gritting his teeth.
Lin Fei slowly sat back in his seat, and Youde opposite him looked as uneasy as if he was sitting on a fire.
The corners of Lin Fei's mouth rose slightly, as if he was enjoying this moment.
"Mr. Youde, I promise this will be of particular interest to you. "
Lin Fei picked up the wine glass and took a leisurely sip.
"Speak. "
Youde gripped the cutlery tightly in his hand, knowing that this one might be even more difficult to accept than the first two.
"I hope it doesn't happen again in the future.
Any investigation, reporting, or even tax inspection of me or my company must be conducted in accordance with due process of law.....
We will not allow anyone, including you and your forces, to discredit or attack me or my company without sufficient evidence. "
Lin Fei said word by word, as if every word was a bombshell, blasting towards Youde.
Youde's face became more and more ugly.
"Mr. Lin, are you questioning our professional ethics?" Yude barely maintained a little demeanor.
"Oh, no, no, I never question what is not there. "
Lin Fei smiled even brighter: "I just want to make sure that my rights and interests are not violated again, according to the process, this is how it should be, isn't it?"
Youde was so angry that he almost smashed the table: "This is simply an insult to us!"
"Insults?"
Lin Fei slowly stood up, walked in front of Youde, and looked down at him.
"Insult is when you stand at a press conference and use your power and position to discredit an innocent person. Why didn't you think that this was an insult to me, oh, by the way, it's not been a day or two that you have insulted us Chinese, maybe you are really used to it!"
"Do you really think that as long as you exert a little pressure, I will honestly kneel in front of you and ask for your forgiveness, or do you think that if I show a little favor now, I should be grateful to kneel down for you?"
A smile appeared on Lin Fei's face: "It's a pity that I'm a person with bad legs and feet, I just can't kneel, Your Excellency the Governor, I think you should understand that my request is not too much, just to protect me from becoming the object of your casual trampling." "
Youde finally stood up, his eyes full of anger and helplessness: "Young man, don't be too arrogant!"
Lin Fei smiled and glanced at him: "It's about respect and fairness. If you can't accept that, then we have no basis for cooperation. "
Yude's face turned from white to red, and finally almost purple, and his anger almost made him lose his mind.
Lin Fei smiled slightly, unaffected: "Again, I'm just making my request, Mr. Youde." Whether you want to do it or not is your business. "
"I'm not going to do that!"
Youde slammed the table with a slap, and the dishes, water cups, and dishes all shook and bounced: "Lin Fei, do you really think you can be unscrupulous? Let me tell you, this is Xiangjiang, here, or Daying has the final say!"
"I believe it!"
Lin Fei talked with both hands, and said with a smile: "If Daying still has the final say, you can't sit here and talk to me about things at all!"
Speaking of this, Lin Fei smiled and said: "Your Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong, I still say the same thing, if you want to negotiate, I will negotiate with you very sincerely, but if you really want to use Britain to pressure me, then you first ask the mainland's million-strong army whether to agree or not!"
Youde's eyes narrowed slightly.
Lin Fei continued: "Don't think that Great Britain will be able to stand up if he defeats Agenting, can you fight, to what extent, you know in your heart, can you start a war with the mainland?
"Do you really think that the mainland will go to war with the British Empire for you!" 5.5 Yude said coldly.
"In the same way, I don't think that Britain will go to war with the mainland for the sake of Xiangjiang!" Lin Fei smiled and said: "Mr. Youde, isn't it good to learn from Sir MacLehose? Be the governor of Hong Kong in peace, don't think about being a-stirring stick, go to work in peace, retire in peace, why stir up trouble here!"
Yud's breathing was slightly rapid, and he only felt that his heart was about to burst out, and his mind was now almost completely occupied by anger, almost like a volcano about to erupt.
He struggled to control his breathing and not let his anger explode completely.
He had a heart attack, and he was to death by Lin Fei, which was not worth it.
"Lin Fei, don't go too far! You can't do whatever you want if you have money, and Chinese capital can't do whatever you want! "
"Mr. Youde, I never thought that money would solve all problems, but it made me understand how unworthwhile it is to work with someone like you. "
Lin Fei glanced at Youde, who was still in a state of rage.
Without looking back, he walked towards the exit.
Youde was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he resisted the urge to rush up and slap Lin Fei.
Lin Fei walked out of this space full of tension and the smell of gunpowder.
A breeze blew, as if taking away all the oppression and unpleasantness.
He took out PHS: "Ieyasu, start acting." "
"Understood, boss. "
Lin Fei hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out.
At the same time, Youde was still standing in the dining room, watching Lin Fei's back disappear from sight.
He clenched his fists tightly, as if to suppress all his anger in this small space.
"Lin Fei, you wait and see. "
Youde cursed under his breath, but it was more like self-consolation to himself.
