At the same time, he did not forget to invoke his father's name again, trying to intimidate the dangerous and mysterious man in front of him.
Upon hearing this, Lei Hao's lips curled into an undisguised disdain.
He slowly got up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
With a "whoosh," the heavy curtains were pulled open.
Outside the window, the boundless blue sea instantly came into view.
“Miss Zhao,” Lei Hao’s voice was soft, yet carried a cold sarcasm that clearly reached Zhao Xiaolan’s ears, “look carefully, this is Hong Kong.”
"What you call a threat is worthless here."
He turned around gracefully, his gaze returning to Elaine Chao.
His gaze was as if he were examining a fine toy.
“In addition,” Lei Hao said calmly but powerfully, “I am worth nearly HK$200 billion in Hong Kong.”
"Moreover, with my abilities and strategic planning, it is not difficult for me to reach a wealth level of hundreds of billions in the future."
“Do you think,” he leaned slightly forward, exuding a condescending and oppressive aura, “in Hong Kong, who would risk offending someone with a net worth of tens of billions, a promising future, and extensive connections just to help you?”
Even those close to your father would only advise him to prioritize the bigger picture.
"No matter how prominent his status is, can it be more important than the stability of Hong Kong as a whole?"
Lei Hao's words grew increasingly arrogant and domineering, each one brimming with undeniable power.
Zhao Xiaolan's face gradually turned from deathly pale to an ashen blue.
With a net worth of nearly HK$200 billion? A future worth of hundreds of billions is within reach?
The first two points sound like pure fantasy. Can you really just boast about 20 billion and 100 billion?
However, the last analysis about the importance of Hong Kong's stability was like a cold needle, piercing through her last psychological defense.
Because this is the harsh reality: her and her father's importance is indeed insignificant in the face of Hong Kong's stability.
Realizing that the power and background she had relied on for survival were so pale and powerless in front of this man, and could not exert any intimidation whatsoever.
Zhao Xiaolan's defenses finally crumbled completely.
Lei Hao looked down at her, a hint of cold amusement in his eyes.
He tightened his grip on her chin slightly, and a sharp pain shot through her instantly.
“Miss Zhao,” he said with a mocking tone, “I still prefer the arrogant look on your face when you threatened Lin Zonghui.”
“Since you keep saying you want to do big business,” Lei Hao’s tone left no room for argument, “then put away your arrogant attitude.”
"Stay by my side obediently, watch carefully, learn well, and I can guarantee that you will definitely feel that this trip was worthwhile in the future!"
Zhao Xiaolan was suddenly jolted.
She wanted to resist, to curse, to tear apart the hateful face in front of her.
But the situation is stronger than the people.
At this moment, life and death are in the other party's hands. If you should bow your head, you can at least suffer less physical pain.
Moreover, this is Hong Kong.
Her father, Zhao Lichun, may wield immense power and influence in mainland China.
But this is a realm he can never reach.
She, Zhao Xiaolan, the apple of the eye of a high-ranking provincial official, who usually looked down on everyone, had never suffered such humiliation.
At this moment, however, she is like a canary locked in an exquisite cage, completely at the mercy of others.
This huge gap in her social status filled her with a deep sense of powerlessness and despair.
From then on, the world temporarily lost Elaine Chao, who once held sway over Handong.
There's now an extra secretary in the chairman's office of Lei's Holdings.
……
Meanwhile, Zhao Lichun, far away in Handong Province, was already furious.
His daughter Elaine Chao's mysterious disappearance left him extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
He mobilized all available resources and manpower to launch a near-frenzied, carpet-bombing search.
However, no matter how he investigated or searched, his daughter seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
The investigation revealed that Elaine Chao's last known location was Tazhai Village.
However, the records clearly show that she left Tazhai safely and returned to the Dongshan City Guesthouse.
Then, the next day, they disappeared without a trace.
Who is Zhao Lichun?
Intuition gnawed at him like a venomous snake, telling him: his daughter's disappearance was definitely related to Tazhai!
What's more, the two elite bodyguards he specially sent to protect his daughter were also cleanly and efficiently knocked unconscious.
Even though there is no direct evidence at present, Zhao Lichun can't care about that anymore.
He immediately used his considerable power to exert enormous political pressure on the Guangdong provincial authorities.
"I don't care what methods you use!" Zhao Lichun roared at the people from Guangdong Province over the phone, "Get rid of all the people related to Tazhai!"
He even went so far as to make a blatant threat that he would escalate the situation if people did not comply with his demands.
However, the immense pressure exerted by Zhao Lichun was quickly and quietly dissolved by an even larger and invisible force.
Lei Hao had already accurately predicted Zhao Lichun's reaction.
He immediately instructed his trusted subordinate Jimmy to convey a crucial message to Liao Yaohui in Pengcheng.
During the meeting, Jimmy spoke calmly yet with considerable weight: "Mr. Lin Yaodong of Tazhai Village is one of the important shareholders of our Xiangjiang Lei's Holdings Group."
Jimmy's casual remark was like a wake-up call, instantly enlightening the people of Shenzhen.
Pengcheng was greatly shocked and dared not delay, so he quickly reported this crucial information to his superiors.
Standing behind Tazhai Village was none other than Lei Hao!
This tycoon is a top-tier figure in Hong Kong, possessing both immense wealth and extensive connections!
Even more fatal is that Pioneer Technology's VCD factory is currently one of the most core and important economic development engines in Guangdong Province!
It is a pillar industry that can bring huge economic benefits and lead the future development of technology!
If Lei Hao is angered and moves this gold mine-like factory out of Guangdong Province, the resulting losses will be catastrophic!
At the same time, Jimmy inadvertently revealed Zhao Xiaolan's true purpose in going to Tazhai.
Elaine Chao has now been invited to Hong Kong to meet with Mr. Raymond Lui to discuss cooperation matters.
This gave Guangdong province a crucial handle to counter Zhao Lichun.
Elaine Chao participated in a large-scale resale of color televisions!
Neither side is clean now!
In order to fully confirm Elaine Chao's current safety and quell the controversy, Pengcheng Mayor Liao Yaohui personally contacted Shen Lei, the head of the Xinhua News Agency branch in Hong Kong.
After receiving the call, Shen Lei was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
A young lady wanted to indulge in a moment of power and capriciousness, but little did she know she would accidentally kick a titanium alloy steel plate.
Just recently, he received a phone call from the mainland with the same purpose and content as Liao Yaohui's demands.
original.
After learning the details of the VCD factory project, the leadership of Guangdong Province immediately understood the priorities.
They were all experienced politicians, well-versed in weighing the pros and cons.
What right does a vice governor from another province have to interfere in Guangdong's affairs?
The Guangdong provincial authorities had no intention of paying any attention to Zhao Lichun's pressure!
As for Elaine Chao's so-called "disappearance"?
Who can prove she's missing?
"Maybe she just decided on a whim to go somewhere by herself to clear her head!"
A simple "go for a walk alone" completely dissolved all of Zhao Lichun's anxious pursuit and questioning, leaving them pale and powerless.
Zhao Lichun was furious when he learned of the Guangdong provincial government's perfunctory response.
He never imagined that, given his current status, he would be so helpless and powerless when it came to his daughter's affairs.
In desperation, he had no choice but to use all sorts of private channels to desperately try to find out about the mysterious figure behind Lin Yaodong of Tazhai, whom even the entire Guangdong province feared—Lei Hao.
When he finally found out that Lei Hao was actually a Hong Kong tycoon with a net worth of nearly HK$200 billion and a deep and extensive network of connections in Hong Kong.
Zhao Lichun's heart sank to the bottom of an icy abyss.
He never imagined that his daughter had offended such a powerful and wealthy figure in Hong Kong!
There was really no other way out.
