Chapter 356 Taking the Path of the Richest Man, Leaving Him with No Way Out

Upon hearing Luo Zixi directly state her ambition, Bao Chuanwang nodded slightly with appreciation.

"Sure, but how do you convince Shen Daban? I doubt they'll let you succeed so easily, given the attitude of those who live in the British Empire."

Luo Zixi simply smiled and said:

"Mr. Bao, you don't need to worry about that. You just need to agree to the deal, and I will take care of the rest."

Seeing Luo Zixi's confident demeanor, Bao Chuanwang couldn't help but marvel once again at how extraordinary this woman was!

The port city is a magical place, with both the determination to integrate with the world and the preservation of traditional rules.

They use traditional Chinese characters, wealthy men can take concubines, and some traditional customs are well preserved.

Because of their years of British rule, they have also incorporated some Western cultural customs.

However, there are some ideas and beliefs that they have never changed, namely, the preference for sons over daughters.

Every family hopes to have a son so that the family business can be passed down to him, generation after generation.

In some wealthy families, daughters-in-law who give birth to sons receive huge sums of money as a reward; this has almost become a rule among many families.

Therefore, many women who marry into wealthy families essentially become mere breeding machines.

In such an environment, women who could take charge of the family business were extremely rare, and it was not until the 1980s that this situation gradually improved.

Even after the improvements, women who were able to wield power were still in the minority.

In this era, Fei Zixiao, played by Luo Zixi, was able to manage such a behemoth as the Chenxi Group, with such a huge amount of capital. In Bao Chuanwang's eyes, this was simply a miracle!

“Indeed, Miss Fei is straightforward and outspoken; I like working with people like that. In that case, it's settled, deal done!”

"We'll let our respective teams discuss the specific price for the transaction."

"This matter must be handled quickly, or things may change!"

Luo Zixi nodded in agreement and responded:

"Of course, my team is ready and can start immediately this afternoon. I wonder how things are going with Mr. Bao?"

At this moment, Bao Chuanwang's eyebrows twitched. The other party had come prepared. They had anticipated that they would come to seek cooperation, so the team had made various preparations and was ready to start at any time!

This woman is ruthless and decisive in her actions.

Bao, the shipping magnate, immediately felt that he had met his match. The key was that his opponent was so young yet already possessed such skills; truly, the younger generation was surpassing the older.

"Okay, now that it's settled, I don't want to delay, so let's start this afternoon!"

At this moment, no one knows that the largest merger and acquisition deal in the Hong Kong stock market is about to begin and will soon come to an end!

Meanwhile, Li Ka-shing, who had been keeping a close eye on the ever-changing stock market, suddenly discovered that his plan had been intercepted by someone else!

At this moment, Wharf Holdings' stock price has gradually started to rise, from the original HK$13.5 to HK$47.5!

In doing so, he has clearly missed the best opportunity to make the acquisition.

It turns out that Wharf Holdings had already been targeted by others, and he wasn't the only one eyeing this stock.

Of course, one wrong step leads to another, and now it's too late for him to make the acquisition, but he still doesn't want to give up. He's still fighting for his chance to catch the last train.

Suddenly, he felt as if something important had slipped away from his life...

That was a life-changing opportunity!

At this moment, Li Ka-shing couldn't help but stare thoughtfully at the recently powerful behemoth, the Morning Light Group!

He sighed heavily. The origins of this Morning Light Group were mysterious. It rose to prominence suddenly and began acquiring various industries and shares in Hong Kong. Now, its stock was sluggish, and many shareholders lacked confidence. It was unclear how long this slump would last.

At the time, Li Ka-shing hesitated for only a moment, and as a result, someone else seized the initiative. By the time he realized what was happening, Luo Zixi had already completed her operation.

Even so, Li Ka-shing knew that things were not over yet, and he should still have a sliver of a chance.

No matter what, he had to try; otherwise, he really couldn't swallow this insult...

What a missed opportunity! The easy prey just slipped away...

However, after calming down and thinking about his own financial resources, and comparing them with the size of the Morning Light Group, he realized that no matter how capable he was, he was probably no match for others.

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, and now he could only hope that he would catch some fish that had slipped through the net.

If we follow the original historical trajectory, Li Ka-shing first acquired Wharf Holdings shares, and then collaborated with Bao Shuping to open up the path to the sunken coins in a very mysterious way, thus completing the historically famous case of a snake swallowing an elephant.

With a capital of over HK$600 million, Cheung Kong Holdings acquired assets worth over HK$5 billion from Jardine Matheson.

This series of operations can be described as a masterpiece of boundless imagination.

Of course, now that Luo Zixi has used her greater strength to follow Li Ka-shing's old path, and with his path gone, Li Ka-shing's path is naturally gone too...

As a result, Li Ka-shing, who should have become the richest Chinese person, encountered a Waterloo at his very first stop.

The butterfly effect created by Luo Zixi is beginning to grow larger and larger...

Recently, the situation in Hong Kong has been very volatile, as the emergence of the Morning Light Group has caused a stir in the entire stock market.

The previously sluggish stock market seems to have suddenly been ignited with a blazing fire, and is beginning to show signs of recovery.

Luo Zixi had previously acquired many low-priced stocks with great potential, and now the stocks were giving her a very generous return on her account.

All of this made others extremely envious.

Meanwhile, Margaret, as the group's president, continued to carry out Luo Zixi's orders in a low-key yet domineering manner.

Interestingly, a rumor spread like wildfire, becoming the talk of the town among the wealthy.

The nearly seventy-year-old shipping magnate surprisingly arranged to meet a stunningly beautiful young lady, whose background also seemed to be quite noble.

The key point is that someone took a picture of her and it was published in a tabloid. Just by looking at the young woman's back and the half of her oval face that was slightly exposed, you could tell that she was an absolute beauty.

The tabloids even conducted very serious interviews with some of the neighbors who saw the beauty at the time. These neighbors had never seen such a fairy-like woman before, and they praised her to the skies, saying she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Thus, rumors spread like wildfire that the elderly shipping magnate had fallen in love at first sight with a young beauty and was about to gain a stunning concubine!
