Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 265 "265" Acting VS Acting
The Kadoorie family can be considered one of the earliest conglomerates in Hong Kong.

The founder arrived in Hong Kong in the 18th century.

They made their fortune through opium and then expanded into numerous industries.

Electricity, textiles, real estate, hotels, banks, rubber, carpets, warehousing, etc.

There is even a Kadoorie Road in the Kadoorie Hill area of ​​Kowloon.

The Peninsula Hotel, where Lin Yao often discussed business, is also owned by the Kadoorie family.

It can be described as a behemoth.

Lin Yao and Lin Baixin never expected that they would get involved in this matter.

The Australian businessman confidently outlined his future plans and then asked Lin Yao and Lin Baixin for their opinions.

It's obvious they're trying to sow discord between the two of them.

Lin Yao naturally didn't give the other party a friendly look: "I have no objection!"

Lin Baixin was even more direct, refusing to answer the other party's question at all.

The board meeting ended in a very unpleasant manner.

Just as Lin Yao left the gates of ATV, Lin Baixin's new luxury car pulled up in front of him: "Ah Yao, want to get in and have a chat?"

“Okay!” Lin Yao nodded immediately.

After getting into the car, Lin Baixin handed Lin Yao a cigar and then asked him, "What do you think about what happened today?"

"Just bluffing!" Lin Yao said casually.

"Oh? How do you know?" Lin Baixin asked, somewhat surprised.

Lin Yao said calmly, "As far as I know, the Kadoorie family is also transferring assets and observing what will happen after 1997! They certainly won't be buying any additional assets at this time!"

“But you can’t understand this guy using common sense!” Lin Baixin said directly, “Oliver Kadoorie, the son of Hercules Kadoorie, may not be very famous, but he’s always been a bit outrageous!”

"Perhaps!" Lin Yao said with a sneer, "But I had someone investigate those foreigners in the Australian conglomerate, and CRA Company is quite short of funds!"

"Don't you think there's something wrong with this sudden stunt? The Kadoorie family is just playing along with their act!"

Lin Baixin fell silent and lowered his head to think.

A moment later, Lin Baixin said directly to Lin Yao, "How about this, Yao? Let's join forces and kick those Australian conglomerates out of the game first."

"Huh?" Lin Yao didn't expect Lin Baixin to say such a thing.

Lin Baixin knew what Lin Yao was worried about, so he said quite straightforwardly, "Don't worry, we can sign contracts for all of these things!"    
Lin Yao immediately understood Lin Baixin's meaning: "Brother Xin, do you mean we should join forces and take over the shares from those Australian devils?"

Lin Baixin said fiercely, "And we must be ruthless! Since they want to take a cut from both of our families and sell us for a higher price, then their tricks will definitely go beyond this!"

"I suspect they have other tricks up their sleeves for us, so I want to strike first!"

Lin Yao asked curiously, "Then who will own the shares after they're bought?"

Lin Baixin seemed to have already thought it through: "How about this, we'll split the acquired shares 50/50, and as for the management rights of ATV, we'll discuss that! We'll each bring our own team, based on the company's profitability. What do you think?"

Lin Yao sneered inwardly; Lin Baixin had certainly come up with a good plan.

Although Lin Yao's biggest connection at ATV was Lao Liu, the former head of the news department who had already left ATV, it doesn't mean that Lin Yao knew nothing about ATV.

When Su Xingbo was still in charge of the intelligence department, he had already sent several commercial spies into ATV.

Therefore, Lin Yao was not only very knowledgeable about the internal problems of ATV, but also no less knowledgeable than Lin Baixin.

Naturally, they also knew that Lin Baixin had contacted several senior executives at ATV, preparing to sideline Lin Yao.

However, Lin Baixin is right about one thing: let's get rid of the foreigners from the Australian consortium first.

These foreigners are such a nuisance; who knows what else they might do?

So after thinking for a moment, Lin Yao extended his hand to Lin Baixin and said, "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation?"

"It's a pleasure to cooperate!" Lin Baixin smiled. "But Yao, you're full of clever ideas. You take a look at how to handle this, and I'll fully cooperate with you!"

To lower Lin Yao's guard, Lin Baixin was really going all out.

Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "Don't these Australian guys from CRA like to act? Let's put on a show for them too!"

"Oh?" Lin Baixin asked curiously, "What are you planning to do?"

Lin Yao said directly to Lin Baixin, "I guess you'll have to suffer a bit, Brother Xin!"

Then Lin Yao explained his thoughts to Lin Baixin.

Lin Baixin immediately laughed: "Will people believe that?"

“The Australians aren’t locals in Hong Kong, so even those big bosses probably wouldn’t know much about these things, right? The triads are just their cover!” Lin Yao said with a smile.

Lin Baixin nodded and said, "That's true, not everyone knows about this. No problem, I'll cooperate with you!"
