Chapter 2088
A Woman's Wisdom
Seeing He Xinghua's bewildered expression, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but chuckle and explain, "You thought about human nature and conspiracies, but you didn't consider other people's perspectives."
We can predict the future development of mobile phones.
Do you think those investors didn't anticipate this?
They're bringing tens of millions in cash, and they're just trying to test you out with some random questions?
Our valuable asset isn't the paging center we invested millions in, nor the base stations we rented.
Rather, we spent a lot of favors to get this license.
Believe it or not, if you offered those people a buyout price of forty or fifty million US dollars...
They might just agree immediately.
By then, you won't be able to regret it.
····
If you dare to back out, those foreign devils in Hong Kong will immediately come out with all sorts of accusations to make you have some sense of contractual obligation.
And through the media, they publicized it extensively…
Lou Xiao'e's words made He Xinghua break out in a cold sweat.
He was indeed planning to ask for an exorbitant price, since those foreign devils were thinking of taking advantage of the situation.
He decided to quote a price several times higher.
As mentioned above, his family's paging company has only invested a small amount of money so far.
That's about ten to twenty million Hong Kong dollars.
And to this day, the costs haven't been recovered.
Therefore, the premium that He Xinghua could think of was only one or two times the original price.
In other words, the 'high price' he was prepared to offer was within HK$100 million.
Converted to US dollars, that's about 25 million.
If you offer that price, they might actually agree immediately.
By then, even if the He Group wanted to back out, it would be difficult.
It's possible that even the Governor of Hong Kong will intervene and urge the deal to go through.
After all, it was He Xinghua who personally agreed to it.
Lou Xiao'e's asking price of 200 million pounds sterling represents a pre-emptive investment of the development potential for the next ten to twenty years.
This includes mobile phones, which will occupy a mainstream market share of profits in the communications industry.
Lou Xiao'e did not blame her son for his shortsightedness. Her son was so young, and it was already very impressive that he could think of these things.
She patted her son's big hand and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged."
When your father was your age, he wasn't as good as you.
When he first came to my house to cook, he wouldn't even look me in the eye.
When Lou Xiao'e talked about the past, a blush crept onto her face.
She recalled the first time she met He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu was cooking in the kitchen, and she hid by the door, peeking inside.
What clothes was she wearing at that time?
What kind of strange look did He Yuzhu give her?
····
Lost youth is always something to be missed.
If you want to encourage a young person, you inevitably have to denigrate someone else, especially someone that the young person is close to and respects.
Therefore, He Yuzhu was once again unfairly blamed.
However, this approach is quite effective.
He Xinghua then pestered Lou Xiao'e to tell her about the scene when she first met He Yuzhu.
"...Your dad was a bit clueless back then..."
He had a bowl cut hairstyle and looked kind of silly...
All we need to do now is stay calm and composed, remaining steadfast even amidst the raging storm outside.
Our family's most important businesses right now are home appliances and investments in China.
Finally, there are mobile communications.
As for gold,
That's the least important thing; you don't need to take it too seriously.
Despite losing all that money, the Ho family remains a top-tier wealthy family in Hong Kong.
····”
Lou Xiao'e's eyes flickered slightly as she spoke of these things. She knew very well that He Xinghua was still too young.
The pressure she put on her son might be too much for He Xinghua to bear.
So she deliberately downplayed the gold investment.
Afterwards, Lou Xiao'e gave more instructions regarding her son's travel safety.
This is also what she cares about most.
Now, A Biao's team has expanded further.
She actually asked several highly skilled experts from Beijing to take charge of the safety of her family.
To be honest, Lou Xiao'e has now taken on all the pressure.
Then she provided a stage for her son to perform boldly.
She once sent a telegram to He Yuzhu, asking when this high-pressure situation would end.
He Yuzhu replied to Su Manyun's message through her channels in a somewhat mysterious way.
As He Yuzhu said at the beginning of the year, that is
~A foreign woman wrestling in Beijing.
When that time comes, Hong Kong Island will finally be at peace.
This reply is worse than a doggerel.
Lou Xiao'e didn't care too much at first, and thought He Yuzhu was joking with her.
But in May of this year, the new boss of the British government was a foreign woman.
This made Lou Xiao'e's entire soul feel like it was about to explode.
She didn't know if He Yuzhu's words were foreshadowing something.
But it filled her with hope for the future.
He Yuzhu was also quite helpless, as he was very unclear about the current and future situation in Hong Kong.
All he knew was the outcome: Hong Kong returned to its mother's embrace at the appointed time.
As for the public security situation on Hong Kong Island, when did it improve, and when did it become one of the safest cities in the world?
He really didn't know.
To put it bluntly, before he was reborn, the Hong Kong movies he watched depicted Hong Kong as a place full of fighting and killing.
Ask him to explain himself; he knows nothing.
However, if you use normal logic to reason things out, you can probably figure it out.
Once John Bull decides to return Hong Kong Island to our home, the Hong Kong community will eventually be able to discern the winds.
By then, those who are close to Beijing will be people that Hong Kong's triads won't dare to mess with.
It's that simple.
The He family of Beijing.
Liu Ting described everything she had learned in the past few days to He Yuzhu as gossip.
He Yuzhu looked up, eyes closed, mouth wide open.
It was clearly a sneeze, but you wanted to sneeze but couldn't.
Liu Ting casually picked up a feather duster from the side, plucked a feather, and swept it a few times in front of He Yuzhu's nostrils.
After sweeping, Liu Ting turned her head back and hid far away.
"Achoo...Achoo..." He Yuzhu coughed wildly a few times, tears and snot streaming down his face.
He rubbed his nose and said to Liu Ting in an unseemly manner, "Did you insult me?"
Liu Ting rolled her eyes at him, thinking of saying something back, but in the end she held back.
What she wanted to say was definitely not something nice.
It's nothing more than some random woman talking about He Yuzhu.
But Liu Ting tries her best not to say such things now.
Now that she had accepted that He Yuzhu might have someone else, she didn't want to argue with him about it every day.
Even if not for her own sake, it has to be for the sake of her children.
He Ping's recent change in mood had already given her a wake-up call. (End of Chapter)
