Just as Li Wenbin and Chen Taoran were meeting privately at the Happy Valley Jockey Club, the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong Island opened promptly at 9 a.m. that day.
As everyone expected, Swire Group's share price plummeted immediately after the market opened, dropping by five percent in just half an hour.
However, from this point on, a large amount of capital continued to forcefully push up Swire Group's stock price. For the next hour, Swire Group's stock price fluctuated slightly without any further major fluctuations.
...... ........ ...
However, just when everyone thought that the outcome of Swire Group's share price movement this morning was pretty much clear, the police released a bombshell announcement.
The police have conclusive evidence that Swire Group maliciously manipulated the stock market and used it to launder money.
This news immediately caused a sensation in the Hong Kong stock market.
Swire Group's stock could no longer hold up and plummeted. Even the combined efforts of the four major real estate companies could not stem the decline.
There was no other way. In order to save Swire Pacific, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank joined forces with the Swire family. The four major real estate companies did their best and paid a huge price to finally stabilize Swire Group's share price once again.
Time quickly came to 11 a.m.
At this point, Swire Group's share price had been fluctuating around 34.8 by 1 yuan for a full 10 minutes.
Those who previously predicted that Swire Group was struggling to hold on have now changed their tune, saying that Swire Group can definitely hold on, at least until the midday close.
No one expected that Li Jun was preparing a final 'surprise' for the Swire Group, a surprise that would elevate the group to new heights.
In an office on the sixth floor of the Mengzhi Club.
"Brother Jun, as you instructed, the items have been delivered to those three people."
Ahua walked into the office and said to Li Jun with a smile.
"Okay, Ahua, thank you for your hard work."
Li Jun looked up at Ahua and replied with a smile.
'Jun-ge, I'm really curious about the reaction of those three people after they saw that thing.'
Ahua laughed.
"I probably won't be too happy."
Li Jun replied with a smile.
‘Ring ring ring~’
Just then, the satellite phone on the desk rang.
"Which one?"
Li Jun picked up the satellite phone, pressed the answer button, and asked.
"Brother Jun, it's me, Xu Xi."
Xu Xi's voice came through the receiver like a gentle breeze.
To make the Malayan monkeys on Marbacher Island more enthusiastic about their work, Li Jun sent Xu Xi ahead of time with 1000 supervisors trained at Golden Cape to Marbacher Island to contribute to Li Jun's gold mining business.
"Axi, you're calling me at this time, you must have some good news to tell me, right?"
Li Jun asked with a smile.
“Yes, Jun-ge, absolutely great news. The group of people you contacted before sent three representatives to Legabis yesterday, saying they wanted to see you. This morning, I brought them to Mabast Island, and now these three are standing right next to me.”
Xu Xi said slowly.
"Axi, you did a good job getting those representatives on the phone."
After hearing Xu Xi's words, Li Jun's face lit up with a bright smile, and he even temporarily put the matter of Taikoo Group's stock out of his mind.
Now, only Li Jun in the whole world knows the kind of impact the phone call he's about to receive will have on the entire Southeast Asia, and even the world...
[181] The Governor's plan to wipe out his family's wealth, Li Jun's brilliant stroke, and his decisive action.
Marbach Island.
After half a year of vigorous construction by Li Jun, coupled with the innate diligence of the Chinese people, the island has undergone a dramatic transformation.
In the southern plains of the island, 80 percent of the houses have been replaced with brick and mud houses, and the farmland and rubber plantations are well-managed.
On the site of the former Pixar Southnord estate, a building that also served as a fortress rose up and became Li Jun's residence on Marbacher Island.
Dr. Li, Li Jieying, Guo Kailin, Huang Xiaoqi, and other women of Li Jun all live here now, and Li Jun has also hired doctors and nurses from Singapore at great expense to take care of them.
Inside a room in the fortress, after listening to Li Jun's words, Xu Xi handed the satellite phone to the dark-skinned man beside her and said, "Mr. Bruno, Mr. Li wants to speak with you personally."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xu."
Bruno first thanked Xu Xi, and then took the satellite phone that Xu Xi handed him.
“Mr. Li, I am Bruno, the deputy commander of the Papua Liberation Front. Thank you for your concern for our Papua Liberation Front.”
After taking the satellite phone, Bruno pondered for a few seconds before uttering these words.
The Papua Liberation Front is an armed organization formed by the indigenous people of western New Guinea in their struggle for independence from Indonesia.
After taking control of Marbacher Island, Li Jun set his sights on several other large gold mines in Southeast Asia.
After some research, Li Jun set his sights on the island of New Guinea.
There are two reasons.
The first reason is that Indonesia is a country that was forcibly created by the windmill nation. As the main democracy in Indonesia, the Javanese people can only truly control the two islands of Sumatra and Java.
In other words, the only places that Indonesia can truly control are the islands of Sumatra and Java.
As for the other islands in the "683" alliance, such as Borneo, Sulawesi, New Guinea, and Timor, Indonesia's control is not strong. For this reason, coupled with ethnic conflicts, there are local indigenous resistance organizations on these islands.
Later, some resistance groups even successfully established states, such as East Timor.
Li Jun chose the Papua Liberation Front to support this resistance organization and use them to control the Glasberg gold mine located in northwestern New Guinea.
This gold mine is one of the world's largest, with a monthly pure gold production of up to 8 tons, far exceeding that of the Marbacher gold mine.
As long as he can acquire this gold mine, Li Jun can harvest more than 10 tons of pure gold every month, which is equivalent to more than 10 million system points. In other words, even if Li Jun does nothing afterward, he can accumulate 200 million system points for upgrading in just over a year.
Moreover, Li Jun knew that the Glasberg gold mine contained not only gold, but also an even more astonishing amount of copper.
Copper is very useful in the military industry and plays a very important role in Li Jun's future military plans.
Therefore, Li Jun was determined to acquire the Glasberg gold mine.
As for the second reason, it is that Li Jun particularly dislikes Indonesian monkeys, especially the current Indonesian president Sutoha, whose hands are stained with the blood of Chinese. Li Jun is not powerful enough yet, so he can only cause trouble for Indonesia and take some flesh from them.
Once Li Jun has enough strength, what awaits Sutoha and Indonesia will be much more than just adding to their troubles and causing them some losses...
On the other end of the phone, after listening to Bruno's words, Li Jun said with a smile, "Mr. Bruno, I don't like beating around the bush. My assistance to your Papua Liberation Front is conditional."
Li Jun didn't pretend to be a civilized envoy; instead, he went straight to the point and stated his purpose.
Li Jun knew very well that for an organization like the Papua Liberation Front, talking about bringing them the spark of freedom or the light of civilization was nonsense. It was better to just tell them what he needed.
Sure enough, Bruno's expression relaxed after hearing Li Jun's words, and he said with a smile, "Mr. Li, I like your way of communicating. Then please tell me what we can give you, and what you can give us."
"I want priority development rights to all of Papua's mineral resources, and what I can give you is everything Papua has besides these minerals."
Li Jun said slowly.
“Mr. Li, your demands are a bit excessive. If we give you all the mineral resources, how will we survive even if we become independent?”
Bruno frowned slightly and replied.
“I can give you 20 percent of the profits from mineral resources. You don’t have to do anything and you can just sit back and collect the money.”
Li Jun said with a smile.
"Mr. Li..."
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, Bruno wanted to speak again, but he was interrupted by Li Jun as soon as he opened his mouth, "Mr. Bruno, don't forget, without my assistance, these mines have nothing to do with you."
"..."
After Li Jun finished speaking, Bruno fell silent.
In fact, the Windmill Nation was supposed to give Sutoha 40 percent of the profits from the Glasberg gold mine. It was precisely because Sutoha sold these mines to foreign companies and reaped the pure profits that he was able to build a relatively powerful army and navy in Southeast Asia to suppress resistance forces like the Papuan Liberation Front.
Li Jun didn't urge him, but quietly waited for Bruno to 'figure it out' on his own. He knew very well that no matter how long Bruno thought about it, his final answer would definitely be to cooperate with him.
Sure enough, after pondering for nearly two minutes, Bruno spoke up: "Mr. Li, after all we Papua Liberation Front has sacrificed, what can you give us in return?"
Bruno also understood that things only became his own once they were in his hands, and he had no reason to refuse to cooperate with Li Jun just because some things were still in Sutoha's possession.
"10,000 of your most elite soldiers will help you wipe out the Javanese monkey soldiers on Papua Island, and the strongest fleet in the South Seas, consisting of four destroyers, will block all Javanese aid brought in by sea."
Li Jun spoke slowly, word by word.
"..."
After hearing Li Jun's words, Bruno remained silent for a long time.
After nearly three minutes, he slowly spoke, "Mr. Li, the conditions you have proposed are very harsh, but for us, freedom and independence are more precious than anything else. If you can help us obtain freedom and independence, then you can take whatever else you want."
Bruno's tone was full of bitterness, and his eyes were full of resentment, but there was nothing he could do; weakness was the original sin.
“Mr. Bruno, believe me, you and the Papua Liberation Front will thank yourselves for the decision you made today.”
Li Jun smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
