Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Sun Hung Kai Securities: Founded in 1969 by Fung King-hei, it was one of the most influential Chinese-owned financial institutions at the time.

Victory Securities: A long-established Chinese-owned securities firm founded in the 1970s, primarily engaged in retail brokerage business while also participating in speculative trading of small and medium-sized stocks, especially active in the chaotic market before the merger of the four exchanges in 1986.

Baring Asset Management (Asia) Limited: As a subsidiary of Baring Bank of the United Kingdom, it entered Hong Kong in 1976 and launched the "Hong Kong Fund" (Hong Kong China Fund) in 1982, focusing on investing in Hong Kong stocks and Chinese concept stocks, becoming an important channel for foreign capital to participate in the Hong Kong market at that time.

PS: (When I found the name 'bullying', I was speechless. This is so blatant. How do people in Hong Kong tolerate this...?)
Figure:

JF Asset Management: The financial arm of Jardine Matheson Group, which manages funds covering equity, bond and real estate investments, and is particularly adept at speculation through structured products such as warrants.

First Pacific Finance Limited: Established in 1981, it is the financial platform of First Pacific Group in the Philippines in Hong Kong. Its business includes stock-pledged loans, corporate finance and direct investment. In particular, in the early 80s, it indirectly participated in stock market speculation by providing bridge loans to real estate developers.

Local speculative groups: "Golden stock manipulators" represented by James Chan manipulate stock prices by controlling shell companies (such as the acquisition of Hong Kong and Macau Development in 1985). These groups usually collude with securities firms and finance companies to drive up stock prices through false transactions and insider information, and then cash out through placement or pledging. Typical cases include the Caring incident in 1983 and the "penny stock speculation" before the stock market crash in 1987.

"Shameless scoundrel!"

How can a person be so shameless!

"That bastard must be obsessed with money; he even tried to rob us!"

"Bandits, robbers, I'll fuck your mother!"

"His true nature as a thug has been exposed without a doubt; he is the biggest scourge to Hong Kong!"

"fuck your mother……"

In theory, as a Hong Kong-listed company, it's impossible to know exactly who every investor who buys its shares is, but...

Theoretically, no, but then it's possible. It still depends on one's status and position. Besides, after setting up this scheme for so long, everyone in the circle knows about opening accounts at the four major stock exchanges. Getting a trading list is just a matter of face.

One by one, the calls were made, and several people from financial companies hung up and started cursing.

Hong Kong has implemented a capital gains tax exemption system since 1983. Individuals and businesses generally do not need to pay capital gains tax when selling financial assets such as stocks.

In other words, the Hong Kong British government did not collect taxes from them, but now Wang Yaotang wants to collect taxes, which is even worse than the Hong Kong British government!

Why should I hand over a portion of the money I earned to Wang Yaotang?
They want to restore the rules of the underworld? Do they think we're just some petty thugs?

Impossible! Absolutely not!

We must unite and let Wang Yaotang know that Hong Kong is a financial port and the financial center of Asia. Even according to the rules of the underworld, those of us in finance are the ones in charge in Hong Kong, and you, Wang Yaotang, are just an insignificant branch below!
Sun Hung Kai Securities.

"Mr. Yan, should we arrange a meeting with the other companies to discuss countermeasures?" the secretary asked in a low voice.

Yan Fusheng glanced at his secretary, wondering if she had any brains. What were they going to do now that the organization had been discovered by that madman Wang Yaotang?
Do you want me to die so you can take over?!
"No need, you can leave." Yan Fusheng waved his hand and waited for his secretary to leave before immediately picking up his phone and making a call.

He may not have the guts to organize a meeting to jointly confront Wang Yaotang, but he certainly has the guts, and a great deal of guts, to hold a conference call and stir up trouble for his competitors.

What if someone impulsively jumps out...?

The thought of Wang Yaotang's retaliation against these people makes him want to laugh.

Yan Fusheng recounted the threatening phone call he received from Wang Yaotang, and everyone said they had also received such calls. Hearing the group loudly berate him, Yan Fusheng quietly pressed the record button…

At the same time, several other bond company executives also pressed the record button one after another...

As a result, after criticizing for more than ten minutes, not a single person uttered a curse. They kept complaining that Wang Yaotang was too domineering, that this was extortion, that it was illegal, and that it was immoral. Not a single person uttered a curse.

After the conference call ended, Yan Fusheng cursed, "A bunch of cowardly scoundrels, they deserve to be threatened!"

After venting my anger by cursing, I decided to let it go and observe the situation first. If things really didn't work out, I could go find the boss, Feng Jingxi. He's one of Hong Kong's top tycoons; if the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up. It's none of my business.

……

For Wang Yaotang, it was necessary to warn these scoundrels.

He knew perfectly well how greedy these hyenas in the financial world were. These people had absolutely no bottom line; they were all beasts. Compared to them, everyone in the underworld was a good person.

The original purpose of stocks was to raise funds from the public to help companies grow and share the profits generated by the company's growth. However, now the vegetable garden that we have worked so hard to cultivate has become the hunting ground of these hyenas. The money of retail investors has been harvested by these people, and listed companies have to bear the infamy for them.

There's no such logic in the world!

Go against Tiangang!

If we don't let them know the consequences, these people will use the stocks under their names to stir up trouble in the future. They will reap the benefits, but I will bear the infamy.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
After issuing a warning, he told Wang Yaotang to wait for news, as he had many other things to attend to.

The acquisition, led by CLP Power, aims to complete the integration in one go; he doesn't want to leave any more chaos behind.

Besides, integrating CLP Power would allow them to extract funds from the Kadoorie family foundation. It doesn't matter who spends the money left behind by those scumbags; what they want is the influence that comes with controlling Hong Kong Power. Moreover, the Kadoorie family is all dead; they'll divide it up sooner or later.

After the merger, CLP Power will be the only monopolistic power company in Hong Kong. Its larger size and greater influence will give it a greater advantage in subsequent negotiations with its home base, Sha Kok B.

This is what cooperation and win-win cooperation truly mean!
Finally, there's another benefit: after CLP Power completes its monopoly, the oil-stained dogs running connections in France will have more confidence and more bargaining chips. It's been so long already; it's fucking too much trouble for capitalism to get anything done.

Wang Yaotang was getting really annoyed by the dragging on.

Once he has sorted out the merger between CLP Power and HK Electric, and then found a company in his hometown willing to outsource the engineering work, he will then properly handle the affairs on the French coast.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who created it!
There's no problem that can't be solved with a single shot; if there is, then use a cannon!
The merger was a very complicated matter, and it really couldn't be done without Wang Yaotang. Even if he didn't say anything while sitting in the conference room, the original interest groups on Hong Kong Electric wouldn't dare to disobey. At most, they would drag their feet and express their dissatisfaction, since there were dozens of big men in black suits standing outside.

No matter how much these self-proclaimed civilized guys look down on these security guards, saying they're brainless, poorly paid, and of low status, their actions speak louder than words when you're face to face with them.

Of course, there were also those who weren't thinking clearly. It's unclear whether the alcohol had clouded their judgment or if they were just used to being high and mighty. One manager in charge of logistics and procurement was extremely uncooperative during the handover and got into a fight with CLP Power and the accounting and auditing staff. When security guards came to break up the fight, he even pointed at them and cursed.

"You brainless idiot, get out of my sight right now! This is not a place for you. Now, immediately!" With that, the manager stepped forward and shoved him hard.

The security guard's expression suddenly changed, and he kicked the manager hard in the chest!

His abdomen was squeezed violently, causing the pressure inside his abdominal cavity to rise and his diaphragm muscles to bulge. A sudden surge in blood pressure caused his eyes to bulge outwards. A large amount of air was suddenly forced out of his lungs, causing his mouth to open uncontrollably but he couldn't make a sound. He sat down on the ground with a thud, and the sharp pain from his tailbone made his head feel like it was swaying.

"Take your mother in my mouth!"

The blow to my side caused me to gasp for air. Now, I can't even curse, and even the slightest movement is excruciatingly painful.

"Swear at me, swear at me, swear at me!" Shout this and kick my groin, tailbone, and hamstring—all the most painful yet least likely to get injured spots.

The manager writhed and jumped around like a shrimp that had just come ashore, his face turning purple with pain, and snot, tears, and saliva all over his face.

This scene terrified the people from CLP Power and the auditing company, who retreated repeatedly and dared not go up to pull him up. Just looking at him, they knew it must hurt terribly.
The security guards were quite confident in their abilities. Their extensive training had taught them not only how to subdue an enemy in one move and how to wield a baton, but also how to strike in a way that would cause more pain without inflicting serious injury.

Yes, the next part is the key skill we'll be teaching, to ensure that you won't be imprisoned for causing serious injury after the fight...

Therefore, regular assessments are necessary.

After a few hard blows, the security guard took two steps back and twisted his neck. "I'm sorry, his insults to my character caused me to lose my temper temporarily. I've calmed down now and I won't comment on it. I'll wait for the police's decision. So, you can call the police now."

The people around looked at the security guard with suspicion and uncertainty. You don't sound like you've lost your mind. If you weren't prepared, then something is wrong!
What does it mean to be professional?
There are many similar rhetoric techniques, all meticulously designed by retired police officers and lawyers within security companies. The key point is to never admit mistakes!

Once you admit you're wrong, you have to bear all the consequences.

It was just a fight, but the other person provoked it first, causing emotional fluctuations, a rise in blood pressure, and a hormonal imbalance. This triggered a temporary loss of control over the body, leading to a reactive response. From a medical perspective, this is a transient mental disorder.

A type of mental illness is characterized by a short duration of symptoms, primarily manifested as sudden onset of abnormal thinking, mood, or behavior, which usually subsides within hours to a month and does not meet the diagnostic criteria for other mental illnesses. Its core features include acute onset, diverse symptoms, and reversible recovery, and it is often triggered by stressful events, psychological trauma, or physiological factors.

Active and passive are completely different in terms of responsibility.

(For example, if you encounter a traffic accident in daily life, please remember this: no matter what the situation, no matter who asks you, and no matter who it is, never admit that you were wrong, and never say that you didn't see it or didn't know it. Not seeing it means you didn't observe it effectively, and not knowing it means you didn't learn the traffic regulations well. These are all responsibilities!)

The security company's lawyer arrived at the scene immediately afterward to communicate with the police, and the person was released half an hour later after paying bail.

As for the manager, he should get a medical examination and see a doctor if necessary, and the matter should be handled by the insurance company. That's all.

Of course, some people talked to the manager and said that if he didn't give up the lawsuit, there would be a line of people waiting for him, and he would be beaten up every day, with no two people doing the same thing twice.

It's not that the company doesn't support him, it's that the company is in cahoots with the thugs. What can he do?
He is also desperate!

We also need to apologize to the security guards!

Otherwise, not only will you get beaten up, but you'll also lose your job!

For a time, countless people secretly cursed Wang Yaotang for his despicable methods.

"Haven't I already had enough people criticizing me? Do they even have a say in this? If they want to work, they can work; if they don't, they can get lost. The company was going to streamline some of the redundant positions after the merger anyway." Wang Yaotang didn't care at all.

As for leaving the company, harboring resentment, or betraying company information for revenge... I have no enemies left; the entire industry is mine.

If you catch them, you can just turn them into fish feed. How can you tell which protein is from the fish and which is from the human?

Nobility is the passport of the base.

Baseness is the epitaph of the noble.

The result was a dramatic acceleration in the merger process, and the effect was remarkable.

The integration of two large companies with a market value of 7 billion or 80 billion is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time. Of course, he cannot stay with them forever, but he still devotes most of his energy to this during this period.
Around 9 a.m., after the morning rush hour, Wang Yaotang left home to head to the headquarters of Hong Kong Electric.
If you're not a boss and still have to get up early to squeeze through rush hour traffic, and you are a boss and still have to get up early to squeeze through rush hour traffic, then you've been a boss for nothing!

As always, the convoy traveled from Deep Water Bay along Wong Nai Chung Road straight to Central. Four Mercedes-Benzes tightly protected the bulletproof Cadillac in the middle. As soon as the convoy appeared, all drivers in the vicinity would automatically hear the warning: "Wang Yaotang's convoy is approaching. Please give way as soon as possible."

Even a minor scratch is a hassle.

Vehicles on the road gave way to make way. Of course, people are diverse, and it's normal for some not to give way intentionally or to overtake when someone is in a hurry.

It just means it will be very conspicuous.

A black Toyota sped up from the traffic behind, immediately attracting the attention of the security personnel in the rear car. All six of them looked over, but did not make any moves, only alerting the other vehicle over the intercom that a vehicle was approaching.

As the black Toyota and Cadillac drove side by side, the Toyota's window suddenly rolled down. This action immediately alerted the security guards in the two cars behind, who immediately reached for their guns at their waists.

"Danger!"

Security personnel carry M1911 rifles, and their vehicles are always equipped with an MP5 submachine gun, an UZI, and four Type 4 submachine guns for immediate use.

Suddenly, a dark gun barrel appeared out of the window of the Toyota, aimed at the Cadillac that was right next to it, and pulled the trigger.

"Da da da--"

"Da da da--"

At the same time the gun barrels appeared, the six security gun barrels on the two Mercedes behind simultaneously aimed and opened fire.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

The gun barrel spewed fire like wildfire, and a storm of metal rained down on the Cadillac.

Sparks flew from the Cadillac's exterior, and white spots appeared on the side windows. Wang Yaotang, who was resting with his eyes closed, instinctively lay down on the car. The lower half of the car door was reinforced, so even a 12.7mm armor-piercing round couldn't dry it.

Fortunately, the driver had received a warning in his earpiece, so the sudden attack didn't make him panic. Running away was out of the question, so he swerved the steering wheel and crashed directly into the Toyota that was attacking him.

The two were too close, and they collided in the next instant.

"boom!"

The Toyota, weighing only 1.2 tons, was like a little girl being side-crashed in front of the 6.5-ton armored Cadillac. All four wheels left the ground and it completely lost traction. Braking and power failed. It first slid sideways for a while and then began to spin and sway erratically, completely losing control.

The Cadillac only swayed slightly twice and then acted as if nothing had happened. The driver eased off the accelerator and then slammed the accelerator down again, aiming at the speeding Toyota. With the engine roaring, the car crashed into the Toyota once more.

"boom!"

The out-of-control little girl was once again violently slammed against the side from behind by the burly man, and the vehicle completely lost control, tumbling and flying away.

"Car 1, Car 2, protect Yao Ge as he leaves. Car 3, Car 4, try to capture him!" Sha Ze shouted from the passenger seat.

The Cadillac accelerated again, sped between the two lead cars, and drove away from the scene. Six security guards jumped out of the two cars behind, one of them grabbed a tear gas canister, pulled the pin, and threw it into the overturned car window.

"Boom!"

Tear gas instantly filled the car windows, followed by screams and suppressed coughs.

For a moment, the smoke filled the air, and all that could be seen was a figure struggling to crawl out of the window while coughing. Security guards held up their pistols and aimed at the figure on alert.

Suddenly, a shooting occurred, and it was aimed at Wang Yaotang. All the vehicles behind braked suddenly and dared not approach. But the people sitting in the cars had their eyes wide open, and their faces were flushed with excitement.

This is no less exciting than a movie!

The wind was quite strong on the highway, and the smoke dissipated rather quickly. Just as the figure crawled out, the security guard's gun went off.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

He was shot in both thighs, curled up but unable to scream, only coughing wildly, his eyes were swollen and bloodshot, making it impossible for him to see anything.

They rushed up, subdued the man, and then dragged him into a car and drove away. They couldn't let the police take him alive; they had to bring him back for a thorough interrogation.

After leaving the security guards to wait for the smoke to clear, they went over and leaned down to take a look. There was still a body inside the car, with blood everywhere. It was obviously hit when six handguns fired at the same time earlier, and then the rollover and tear gas killed him.

Inside the vehicle, a PKM light machine gun lay askew, its orange-yellow ammunition belt dangling beside it, causing the two security guards to gasp in shock.

"Damn it, machine guns!"

It uses 7.62 full-power ammunition, with a theoretical rate of fire of 650 rounds per minute and a combat rate of fire exceeding 250 rounds per minute. Its firepower is extremely fierce, and ordinary bulletproof vehicles simply cannot withstand its barrage.

The two of them didn't intend to take it; there was no need. They already had it at home, so they might as well hand it over to the Royal Insect Police for a proper look.

While waiting for the police to arrive, they contacted the command center and learned that after Wang Yaotang was assassinated, the command center mobilized more than 100 people and 12 Toyota Hiace vehicles to approach Wang Yaotang's convoy.

"PKM has come out!" Wang Yaotang's face was very ugly. "Damn it, how did Hong Kong's security situation become like this!"

"Who exactly are these people causing trouble in Hong Kong?!"

"A thorough investigation is necessary!" (End of Chapter)
