Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

"Mr. William, you should be aware of how much profit the cooperation with the Flower Planting Group has brought to HSBC. It will not be a good thing for HSBC if the Flower Planting Group is offended because of this Hutchison Whampoa incident." Pao Yue-Kong looked at Mr. William in front of him with confusion.

The other party is not a fool. According to normal logic, William should agree with this matter. How could he oppose it!

"Shipping King, I have my own difficulties. You don't need to persuade me anymore. Hutchison Whampoa will not sell to the Flower Planting Group." William's tone was firm.

Pao Yue-kong had promised Sophia that he would not give up just like that. After another hour of persuasion, William still refused to give in. Pao Yue-kong had no choice but to leave.

After Pao Yue-Kong left, William stood in front of the French window, looking at the busy traffic downstairs, and whispered in his heart: "Shen Zhou, I hope you won't let me down. This time, let this be the last thing I, the boss, do for you before I leave!"

William will step down as HSBC's boss this year, and logically he will not do anything to embarrass the Flower Planting Group before leaving. After all, the two companies had cooperated well before and there was no estrangement.

But just yesterday, when William was about to agree to sell Hutchison Whampoa's shares to the Flower Group, he was stopped by Shen Zhou.

William looked at the future HSBC boss he had chosen, and asked in confusion, "Shen Zhou, you should know the influence of the Flower Planting Group in Hong Kong Island. Have you ever thought that if he falls out with the Flower Planting Group this time, it will not be good news for you to be in charge of HSBC in the future?"

"I will be returning to my home country this year. If nothing unexpected happens, you will become the next HSBC boss. Why would you create a big enemy just after taking office?"

But Shen Zhou was not affected by William and still insisted on his own judgment: "Boss William, I know that the current Zhonghua Group is very powerful, but it is precisely because they are too powerful that we cannot let them take over Hutchison Whampoa. If they continue to develop, if one day they really break up with us HSBC, then it will cause irreparable costs to HSBC."

"Moreover, Zhang Weiguo has never planned to list the Zhonghua Group, and HSBC does not have any shares in the other company. As the Zhonghua Group becomes stronger and stronger, can HSBC still maintain such a strong position in Hong Kong Island?"

"We must support new candidates and cannot allow the Flower Planting Group to dominate the market. This is not what we want to see."

Shen Zhou's series of questions also made William stunned for a moment. After a long time, William said: "Shen Zhou, I will help you be the villain. Just consider it as my last help before I leave."

"Thank you, Mr. William."

Shen Zhou had already chosen the candidate in his mind. Originally, Shen Zhou planned to tie Pao Yue-kong to HSBC, but after Pao Yue-kong took over the Wharf Group with the help of the Flower Group, Shen Zhou knew that this plan was hopeless. So Shen Zhou looked for a new candidate - Li Ka-shing.

In addition, Shen Zhou also plans to join forces with the three major capital groups, Jardine Matheson, Wheelock and Swire, to launch an attack on the Flower-Growing Group and not allow the other party to expand recklessly.

In fact, Shen Zhou had never expected that in just eight years, the Zhonghua Group would expand its territory like a giant dragon. In the year before last, the other party became the second largest shareholder of Ford and controlled Hitachi Manufacturing, etc.

Even if Shen Zhou used his toes to guess, he could have guessed that America's "Fortune" magazine had greatly underestimated the value of the Zhonghua Group itself. It was far from the 25 billion US dollars that the other party claimed. Based on the actions of the Zhonghua Group two years ago, Zhang Weiguo's net worth had at least exceeded 50 billion US dollars.

Shen Zhou was also shocked by his own conjecture, and at the same time realized that with the expansion of the Flower Planting Group, the other party would definitely get involved in the banking industry in Hong Kong Island. If HSBC faced off against the Flower Planting Group at that time, could they really win?

Shen Zhou was uncertain and couldn't guarantee anything.

This year he will accept William's position and become the boss of HSBC. He will never allow HSBC to decline and must curb the expansion of the Flower Group, so Hutchison Whampoa must not let the other party take over.

Just when Shen Zhou was thinking about how to curb the growth of the Flower Planting Group, a breakthrough came from Flower Planting Island.

Inside the Materials Building.

"First test."

"No problem. The magnetic field of magnetic materials is stable."

"Increase the current."

"Stablize!"

"Increase it again."

"The magnetic field strength becomes 1.2 times stronger."

"Increase it again."

"The magnetic field has become chaotic. It must have reached the material's tolerance limit."

"Lower the current and determine the critical value of the magnetic material."

An hour later, the experimenter said, "Boss, the critical value has been determined. At 1.14 kilowatt-hours, the magnetic properties of the material will be completely chaotic."

Zhang Weiguo watched all this from outside the transparent laboratory and nodded with satisfaction. He then said to the experimenter, "Continue to test the data in extreme environments and vacuum environments."

After nearly a month, the magnetic material was finally synthesized successfully. This was under the premise of having systematic data. If there were no systematic data, Zhang Weiguo would not dare to think about how many experiments would be required to synthesize the magnetic material.

Now that the most core materials have been prepared, the next step is to design and manufacture the mechanical parts.

At the same time, Zhang Weiguo also needs to work on the core operation codes himself. There is no other way because he cannot extract the data directly.

The previous times the system gave out the technology, it took Zhang Weiguo many weeks to sort out the information. At the same time, in order to keep it confidential, it could not be given all at once, but it didn't tire Zhang Weiguo to death. It was because he had taken the gene potion that his physical fitness and intelligence were far superior to ordinary people, otherwise he would have been exhausted to death.

However, after manufacturing the prototype of the gravity simulation equipment, Zhang Weiguo will also have to participate in the design of cold nuclear fusion and engines. I guess he will be very busy.

In the Flower Planting Building, Sofia hung up the phone with Pao Yue-kong and sat in the office chair with an unhappy look on her face.

"Boss lady, did you fail to reach an agreement on the Hutchison Whampoa matter?" Lin Qing asked tentatively.

"Oh... don't mention it. Brother Bao just called me and told me that HSBC didn't agree to sell Hutchison Whampoa to us. Even the negotiation team we sent was rejected by the other party."

Sofia picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip depressedly before asking Lin Qing, "Sister Lin Qing, what do you think my husband would do if he were here?"

"Boss..." Lin Qing thought of Zhang Weiguo and two dimples appeared on her face unconsciously. Then she said, "According to the boss's temper, if the other party doesn't sell, we will beat them until they beg us to buy."

Hearing Lin Qing's words, Sofia's eyes lit up: "Sister Lin Qing, you are absolutely right. Just beat the other party until they beg us to buy it."

Then Sofia looked at Lin Qing and suddenly asked, "Sister Lin Qing, do you also want to marry a husband?"
