They are all reborn, and the grandson is still a spare tire

After watching the idiot reporter and his assistant being carried out of the building, Yao Yuan retracted his gaze and looked at the frightened media reporters in front of him.

He did not give these guys a chance to ask questions, and smiled and said:

"Good morning, fellow journalists, thank you for your attention and welcome to our interviews."

"I hope this little incident that just happened won't affect everyone's mood."

"Due to limited time, I have several meetings to attend later to prepare for the negotiations that will begin in the afternoon."

"So I won't accept everyone's interviews one by one. Here, I will respond to some of the questions that everyone is concerned about so that everyone has material to report!"

After hearing what he said, the media reporters at the scene had no choice but to nod.

In previous interviews with media reporters, Yao Yuan always appeared very friendly and greeted almost every reporter with a smile.

At the same time, he can easily take the initiative in every interview. He will not be led by any media reporter, nor will he fall into any trap set by any reporter.

Many media reporters who often interview him have become accustomed to this situation and are not surprised by it!

But this was the first time they had seen Yao Yuan as strong as he was today.

The tragic end of the reporter from Financial Express also made each of them feel sad!

To the point that I became a little timid and easily gave up the initiative of the interview.

Yao Yuan looked at the media reporters and continued loudly:

"The first thing I want to say is these golden words at the back: Three Questions about Patriotism"

"The Three Patriotic Questions were put forward by Mr. Zhang Bolin, the founder of Nankai University, in the 1930s, when the country was facing a life-and-death crisis. They inspired countless Chinese people to rise up and fight!"

"As a Chinese and a corporate group rooted in China, patriotism is the foundation of my and Jiuye Investment's existence and our unwavering position."

"That is why I have inlaid the Three Patriotic Questions in the lobby of our headquarters and written them on the doors of every company under the group to make our stance clear!"

"At Jiuye Investment Group, I hope that every Chinese executive and employee can be patriotic. If they can't do this, then we can only work together if we have different ideas."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Aiguo Sanwen behind him.

Following the direction of his finger, everyone at the scene looked in that direction.

Most of the media reporters raised their cameras and took pictures of the large golden words of the Three Patriotic Questions.

After the episode just now and Yao Yuan’s explanation, everyone’s feeling when looking at the three patriotic questions again is completely different from before!

In particular, many Chinese journalists, whether from the mainland or Hong Kong Island, felt a shudder as if their souls were touched!

At this moment, a foreign reporter suddenly said:

"Hong Kong Island is an international financial center, and Jiuye Investment is a financial group with global operations. Is it necessary to emphasize patriotism?"

Before he finished speaking, everyone at the scene looked over.

When everyone saw that the weird guy was a foreigner, they immediately understood.

This guy dared to say this just because he was a foreigner.

If it were other local Hong Kong and mainland reporters, they would never dare to speak out at this time and offend Yao Yuan.

Seeing another person jumping out to attack, General Peng prepared to take people to drive him away.

Yao Yuan gently waved his hand to stop him.

The next moment, Yao Yuan looked at the foreign reporter and said with a disdainful smile:

"My journalist friend, judging from the media logo on the microphone you are holding, you must be a reporter from the Wall Street Journal."

"I would like to ask, Wall Street is the heart of the international financial market, why do all financial institutions hang the U.S. flag at the door and on the roof? Isn't this the patriotism of the United States?"

"I like watching the NBA very much. The NBA is an international sports league. So why do we have to sing the US national anthem before every game? The same goes for the NFL, NHL and MLB. Isn't this patriotism?"

"As far as I know, in kindergartens in the United States, at every opening ceremony, teachers will lead the ignorant children to sing the national anthem of the United States. Isn't this patriotism education?"

"Why is patriotism so popular in your country but not in ours? What kind of logic is this? My journalist friend, can you give me a reasonable explanation?"

The reporter from the Wall Street Journal was so stunned by the question that he just stood there in a daze.

In a flash, his face turned red, then blue and white, and his expression was extremely ugly.

He really wanted to retort, but he didn't know how to start, and he almost suffocated!

The other people at the scene, especially the largest number of reporters from Hong Kong Island, all fell silent, looking as if they were thinking about something.

Not only them, but also many executives and employees of Jiuye Investment, as well as some building staff and others who were watching the fun, were also thoughtful.

Without waiting for the foreign reporter to respond, Yao Yuan returned to the main topic.

"Let's talk about some issues that everyone is concerned about. The first one is the negotiation that our group will hold with Lehman Brothers Bank this afternoon!"

"Through this negotiation, our group may reach some cooperation agreements with Lehman Brothers Bank and launch a series of cooperation in the financial field."

"Due to the interests of both parties, these cooperation agreements are commercial secrets and cannot be announced to the public for the time being. I hope everyone can understand."

"The only thing I can disclose here is that Jiuye Investment will acquire the Hong Kong Island branch of Lehman Brothers Bank in full, including all the assets of this branch."

"As for the management and employees of Lehman Brothers Bank's Hong Kong Island branch, some will leave Hong Kong Island and return to New York to work, some will stay, and some will be fired."

"Second, my personal view on the financial crisis remains unchanged. I firmly believe that this financial crisis is inevitable. As for when it will break out, I don't know either."

"Just now a journalist friend asked me whether my judgment that the global financial crisis is bound to break out is related to this negotiation. I have no comment on this!"

"The third thing is what I said before in the auditorium of Beijing University of Finance and Economics, Jiuye Investment will strongly support mainland listed companies to overcome the financial crisis. This also applies to the Hong Kong stock market."

"But there is a prerequisite here. Hong Kong-listed companies that want to get support from Jiuye Investment Group must be high-quality listed companies that love the country and Hong Kong. Only then will we support them."

"For Hong Kong-listed companies that cannot do this, I can only say that they are not on the same page and I can only wish them good luck."

"As for how to support it, it is mainly divided into low-interest equity pledge financing and interest-free equity pledge financing. The specific details will be announced in a while..."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of many media reporters at the scene lit up with excitement.

The support policy launched by Jiuye Investment Group is really powerful. Once announced, it will definitely cause a sensation across Hong Kong Island!

Those Hong Kong-listed companies that are in trouble would never be willing to miss such a golden opportunity!

You know, this is a low-interest mortgage loan or even an interest-free loan. Who can resist the huge temptation of such a pie in the sky!

Apart from Jiuye Investment and Yao Yuan, who among the other Hong Kong consortiums and super-rich people would be willing to spend so much money to support a troubled listed company?

Given those guys’ usual style, we should be thankful if they don’t take advantage of the financial crisis to make profits!

After this incident and when this global financial crisis is over, Yao Yuan and Jiuye Investment Group will have absolute control over the entire Hong Kong Island!

At the same time, all media reporters on the scene became more confident.

The Financial Express and that idiot reporter just now are both dead, without even a chance of a comeback!

If the boss of Financial Express had any brains and fired that idiot immediately, maybe he could still survive!

Next, Yao Yuan talked about a few issues that everyone was concerned about.

This includes conducting in-depth research on certain high-quality Hong Kong-listed companies to prepare for the next round of investment.

After saying these things, he took the initiative to end this impromptu press conference and went upstairs with Zhou Chaoyang and the others!

As soon as the press conference ended, many media reporters spontaneously ran out of the building, each one like a wound-up robot dog.

After rushing out of the Bank of China Building, they quickly rushed to their respective interview cars.

Then he asked his assistant or driver to drive back to the newspaper office, and started posting news online in the car, for fear of falling behind other media and reporters and losing the opportunity!

In less than ten minutes, what Yao Yuan had just said in the lobby of the Bank of China Building had appeared in all financial media in Hong Kong Island and on the financial channels of various TV stations!

Needless to say, the result caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong Island!

Of course, these media do not include the unfortunate Financial Express.

Twenty minutes later, a partner called the Financial Express to inform them to cancel the cooperation, remove the advertisement, and completely sever ties!

Soon after, almost all partners called and demanded to terminate their cooperation with Financial Express!

In the blink of an eye, this financial media, which was well-known in Hong Kong and Macau, has fallen into a precarious situation!

All of this was caused by that idiot reporter who provoked Yao Yuan!

Yao Yuan was too lazy to care about these!

It was just a small Financial Express, and it was not within his scope of vision at all.

He only needs to issue a ban order, and someone will carry it out to the letter!

After entering the office, Yao Yuan called Zhou Chaoyang and others over and began to discuss the negotiations with Lehman Brothers Bank in the afternoon.

After a while of talking, Director Li of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and Mr. Ren from the Financial Supervisory Authority came one after another to participate in the preparatory meeting before the negotiation.

The meeting location was changed to a medium-sized conference room.

After greeting each other, Director Li smiled and said:

"Yao Yuan, when I just entered the lobby of the Bank of China Building, I saw the Three Patriotic Questions inlaid on the wall of the lobby!"

“I have to say, these three questions are so powerful that they can touch people’s souls directly. It’s exciting to watch them.”

"I just heard that you publicly announced to the media that patriotism is the foundation of you and the entire Jiuye Investment Group. That's great!"

"And your actions against the reporter from the Financial Express are very satisfying to hear."

Yao Yuan smiled softly and said a few polite words.

"Thank you Director Li for the compliment. I am a party member, and Jiuye Investment Group is a Chinese enterprise. It is natural for me to be patriotic!"

"The reason why I publicly posted the three patriotic questions is to clearly state my patriotic stance and use it to influence more people!"

"This is just the first step. We will have more actions to follow up and create a greater impact to try to change some things and change some people's ideas."

"For example, we can take advantage of this financial crisis to provide strong support to some high-quality Hong Kong-listed companies, but these companies must be patriotic and Hong Kong-loving enterprises..."

After hearing his words, even Director Li, who held a high position, felt shocked.

The CEOs of several other state-owned financial institutions were also shocked.

After a while, Mr. Ren from the Monetary Authority of Singapore and others also arrived at Jiuye Investment Group.

As soon as we met, Mr. Ren couldn't wait to start asking about Jiuye Investment's strong support for Hong Kong-listed companies.

Yao Yuan’s answer was, of course, affirmative.

After receiving this answer, Mr. Ren and the CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and others were so excited that they almost jumped three feet high and started dancing and cheering.

They know in their hearts that with the strong support of Jiuye Investment Group, many listed companies on the Hong Kong stock market will have a much better time!

Some companies that might have gone bankrupt during the financial crisis may be able to survive this financial crisis and regain vitality!

After cheering and celebrating, Mr. Ren asked about another matter.

"Mr. Yao, I heard that you are going to acquire the Hong Kong Island branch of Lehman Brothers Bank. Is this true? Can you tell me the target price?"

Yao Yuan smiled and nodded, giving an affirmative answer.

"Yes, we are indeed planning to acquire the Hong Kong Island branch of Lehman Brothers Bank. This is a small business."

“What I like is not the company itself, nor the so-called financial talents, but the full range of financial licenses they hold.”

"This is the most valuable asset. Our offer for this financial investment company is between US$120 million and US$150 million..."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"What? Lehman Brothers Bank Hong Kong Island branch is not worth $150 million, did I hear that correctly?"

"Oh my God, if those guys at Lehman Brothers heard about your low offer, they would explode on the spot!"

Yao Yuan smiled disdainfully and said firmly:

"Even if they are so angry that they explode, they must accept this offer. They have no choice at all!"
