Chapter 552 Not For Sale
“Seventy years ago, when I decided to buy Causeway Bay, there were many people who opposed it, just like you are now.
Your grandfather and great-grandfather chose to support me. Everyone fought over and over again, and many people died and shed a lot of blood. Only then did they have the wealth of the Li family for seventy years.”
The old lady's voice was not loud, but as soon as she spoke, the whole Buddhist temple immediately calmed down.
Only then did the seven grandsons realize that the Li family was still the old man.
No one of them had experienced the internal strife in the Li family back then, but they knew from others that the situation was tragic at that time.
Originally, there were three cottages in the Li family. After this battle, the big cottage was basically killed and empty. The remaining few people in the three cottages were exiled to South America, with only two cottages and one troop left.
The one who caused this tragedy was the old lady in front of her.
The seven grandsons only felt that the temperature in the Buddhist temple suddenly dropped.
"I don't need to explain what I want to do, but you are old, so I will say more: What I did, including buying Latour Winery and getting Limo Lishu close to Tan Xiaotian, is all for the sake of the Li family's goodness.
You don’t understand now, and you will thank me in the future.”
"alright!"
The old lady waved her hand, "If there are still people who are not convinced, they can cut off their relationship and quit the Li family. For the sake of you being my grandson, I will give you $10 million in compensation. Whoever is unwilling to take a step forward."
After more than ten seconds, no one stepped forward.
These grandsons are not stupid. They stay in the Li family's company and spend a lot of money and food. They spend money on $10 million, and they will be gone.
"Since no one is convinced, then shut up.
Lao Si, you talk to Chuntian Department Store. If they are willing to transfer the winery and the Li family is willing to cooperate with them to enter the Hong Kong Island market, aren’t they the department store?
Causeway Bay can lend them a building..." Li Jiaxiang and Li Jialiang both looked like they dared not speak out.
Li Jiaxiang was in charge of Europe and Causeway Bay was under the jurisdiction of Li Jialiang. The old lady's decision violated the interests of the two.
But at this time, no one dared to resist.
The Li family is a family business, and more than 90% of the shares of all its companies are in the hands of the old lady. These grandchildren only have management rights and dividend ratios. If the old lady dislikes anyone, the board of directors will not need to be held. One sentence can determine your life and death.
Finally, the old lady said in a stern tone, "Fourth brother, I will give you another last chance. In a week, if you can't get a chance, I'll change someone."
Li Jiaxiang was blown through cold sweat on his back, "Grandma, I will do my best."
A few minutes later, the house was empty.
The ancestor sighed, "Xiaobai, how many days can I live?"
The White Elephant King was also shocked by her decisive decision just now. It took a long time to recover and said with a forced smile: "Second Madam, you are in good spirits, and you have no problem living for another twenty years."
The old lady narrowed her eyes, "You can talk."
Xiao Jiao, I'm tired and haven't said so many things in a long time. Help me go back and rest."
Lao Jiao respectfully helped her stand up and walked out of the Buddhist temple.
The White Elephant King stood up and finally looked at the Buddhist temple. The sandalwood in front of the Buddha statue was still emitting green smoke...****** Binhai, adjacent to Yanjing, was a port city. As early as the Qing Dynasty, the coast was opened to the outside world and became a trading port.
Binhai Port is currently the most important port in the north. With the advantages of the Bohai Sea, it radiates to North China, Northeast China, and Northwest China, with outstanding geographical advantages.
Near Binhai Port, Tan Xiaotian visited his oil storage base accompanied by Liang Wangniu.
After walking around, Tan Xiaotian never said a word.
Liang Wangniu, who was nervous, couldn't hold it in his arms and asked, "Mr. Tan, give me some advice and see what else needs to be improved?"
"It's pretty good, just..." Tan Xiaotian looked around the audience, "a little bit small."
Liang Wangniu was ecstatic, thinking that he was young means that this person was going to make a big deal.
When doing business, you don’t worry about big things, the bigger the better.
"Mr. Tan, my refinery is not full now, so this base has been maintained at the current level. If there is stock, expansion will take a minute."
"Um!"
I have very little talk about Xiaotian today.
Liang Wangniu said again, "Mr. Liang, because the base in Ludongtai is larger than this, do you want to go and have a look?"
"In Taiwan?"
Tan Xiaotian looked up at the scorching sun above his head, "I heard that the scenery there is good and it is close to the sea."
Liang Wangniu saw Tan Xiaotian's behavior and knew that he was moved. He beat a snake and went with the stick. He immediately replied: "The beach there is very good. If Mr. Tan is interested, take the fourth lady with me and let's go there for a vacation. Not only because of Taiwan, but also the nearby Weihai, Qingdao is worth visiting. At this time of year, Qingdao will hold a beer festival..." Tan Xiaotian made a decision in an instant, "Okay, Yanjing is too hot at this time, so it is a good idea to go to the beach to escape the summer heat."
"Then it's decided."
Liang Wangniu smiled happily.
When Tan Mingyan heard that Tan Xiaotian took her to the beach for vacation, she was so happy that she burst into laughter and immediately took a leave.
Anyway, she doesn’t have more jobs when watching movies, and she doesn’t have less work.
Tan Xiaotian took Ruan Si, Zhang Shui, Guan Na, and of course, Tan Mingyan to drive a business car. Accompanied by the Liang family, father and son, and headed towards the beach.
****Europe, France, Paris.
Li Jiaxiang once again came to the headquarters of Chuntian Department Store and met with Pierre, the chairman of the group.
Pierre was helpless, "Li, we have dealt with each other several times. What I said before was the truth. Pure Tian Department Store is not a product, so you might as well please go back!"
Li Jiaxiang did his homework this time, which was completely different from the perfunctory he had in the past few times. He was confident, "Mr. Pierre, is there any non-sale products in this world?
I came with full sincerity.
As far as I know, Chuntian Department Store has always wanted to expand its Asian business, and Hong Kong Island is undoubtedly your best choice. If Chairman Pierre agrees to transfer Latour Winery, Li Family will do its best to help Chuntian Department Store enter Hong Kong Island.
You know, our family has a decisive influence in Causeway Bay, the commercial center of Hong Kong Island.”
"this?"
It is fake that Pierre said he was not moved.
Asia is currently the largest emerging market and is something that any business always dreams of entering. "Li, what exactly do you mean by help?
You know, I'm going to convince the board, it's a tough task."
Li Jiaxiang observed his expression and knew that the old fox was loose. "Mr. Pierre, the help of the Li family is in all aspects. For example, selecting a building with the best location for Chuntian Department Store in Causeway Bay. In addition, from employee recruitment to coordination of relationships in all aspects, I reiterate that as long as Chuntian Department Store agrees to transfer the winery, the help of the Li family will be in all aspects."
Pierre still had a last concern, "Li, you know, winery is not just a business, it also involves the national feelings of the people. Pure Tian Department Store does not want to be the target of public criticism."
"There is always a way to solve this problem. As long as we trade secretly, it will not attract much attention. And I can promise that after the winery is transferred, the existing personnel will not be fired and everything will remain the same."
"Okay! I'll try to convince the board of directors."
