Chapter 711 Dong Family Entrusts Their Son to Others!
Early April.
In addition to asking people to keep an eye on Hong Kong's housing prices, Yang Ming himself was also paying attention to the development of Hong Kong's housing prices.
Although the appearance of Yang Ming may change Hong Kong's housing prices, the overall downward trend has not changed much.
When more and more investors began to sell, there were also people like Yang Shucheng who bet all their wealth on real estate at all costs, and kept buying Hong Kong's real estate with the funds they could get.
However, at this time, Hong Kong's housing prices did not stabilize, let alone rebound, but continued to decline.
. . .
April 12, 1982.
Monday.
15:30 in the afternoon.
Yang Ming was still working as the chairman of the Empire Group.
The landline phone in the office suddenly rang. Lin Xiuzhi went over to answer it and said, "Boss, it's the call from Lin's housekeeper."
"Housekeeper, it's me." Yang Ming took the microphone.
"Young Master Yang, the eldest son of the Dong family just came to see you. I hope to meet you as soon as possible."
The eldest son of the Dong family?
Yang Ming seemed to have thought of something.
"Butler, tell the eldest son of the Dong family that I will go back early."
Yang Ming hung up the phone.
Speaking of which, in history, in addition to many things happening in Hong Kong this year, it seems that something very important happened in the Dong family in Hong Kong.
Yang Ming said goodbye to Lin Xiuzhi and left the chairman's office.
He got in the car and drove back to the villa in the middle of the hill in Repulse Bay.
Half an hour ago.
The eldest son of the Dong family, he came here.
Knowing that Sir Yang was working at the Empire Group, he was waiting here. From his expression, in addition to being tired, he was still a little different from usual.
Normally, he and Sir Yang didn't meet much.
In addition to inviting Sir Yang to visit the Dong family, they met a few times in Yanjing.
During the global shipping crisis, his father insisted on developing the shipping industry and kept buying a lot of large ships around the world. At this time, as far as Hong Kong was concerned, Dong's Orient Overseas was already the third largest shipping group in Hong Kong.
In addition to Bao Yugang's Global Shipping and Asian Shipping, which add up to more than 20 million tons of deadweight.
Sir Yang's First Shipping Group also exceeds 12 million tons of deadweight.
Dong's Oriental Shipping has grown from a million tons of deadweight in 1979 to a deadweight of over 10 million tons now. It can be said that it has developed very rapidly.
Now the biggest support for himself and the Dong family, Dong Jianyan suddenly thought of his father's situation and became anxious.
"Young Master Dong, I just called Young Master Yang, and Young Master Yang said he has rushed back."
"Butler, thank you."
The eldest young master of the Dong family said hurriedly.
Lin Dezhong didn't dare to say anything.
Regardless of this, the Dong family is also one of the three major ship kings in Hong Kong at this time.
. . .
In less than two hours.
The Rolls-Royce that Yang Ming was sitting in stopped.
Lin Dezhong personally opened the door for Yang Ming.
When Yang Ming got out of the car, Lin Dezhong said, "Young Master Yang, the eldest young master of the Dong family has been waiting for you in the garden."
Yang Ming walked over.
Seeing a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a suit, tall and tall, he does look a bit extraordinary.
"Sir Yang." The eldest son of the Dong family has stood up.
"Young Master Dong, let's go upstairs to talk."
The two went upstairs.
Yang Ming is also relatively clear about the current situation of the Dong family.
Historically, the Dong family has successively acquired major shipbuilding companies overseas, including the second largest shipbuilding company in Country Y.
Now because of the appearance of Yang Ming, these shipbuilding companies have been swallowed up by the Empire Group in advance, and the Dong family naturally has no chance.
However, the Dong family has been buying large ships from Country M and Japan.
So much so that in three years, the Dong family's shipping industry has grown from millions of tons to the current tens of millions of tons of carrying capacity.
This Dong family seems to have become the world's shipping king, but in fact, it is heavily in debt, with an asset-liability ratio of more than 85%.
In this case, the high debt is still very dangerous for the Dong family.
This time, the eldest son of the Dong family came here not because of this matter, but because of his father.
His father was old. Although he had handed over the company to the Dong brothers in 1979, he still worked day and night in the past two or three years. In addition to his physical condition, he had been sent to the hospital for treatment several times due to heart attacks.
At this time, Dong Haoyun had already clearly felt that something was wrong with his body, so he asked his eldest son to meet Sir Yang.
"Sir Yang, my father has been feeling uncomfortable due to heart disease for some time and has been treated in the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital. My father wants to see you. I wonder if you are willing to meet him."
Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital?
Yang Ming had already guessed something.
The eldest son of the Dong family was still worried whether Sir Yang would refuse.
"Without further delay, I will go with you to meet your father now."
"Sir Yang, thank you."
When he heard that Yang Ming did not refuse, the eldest son of the Dong family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two came down from upstairs.
Yang Ming said something to housekeeper Lin, and he got into his Rolls-Royce.
While in the car, Yang Ming had already guessed.
Maybe Dong Haoyun felt that something was wrong with his condition, so he was able to meet Yang Ming before leaving.
As for what Dong Haoyun wanted to say to him.
Yang Ming didn't know.
He took a car to leave the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa and headed for the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital.
The Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital has been established for 60 years. It is a general private hospital and also a noble hospital in Hong Kong. It is near Happy Valley.
Yang Ming arrived outside the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital by car.
Get out of the car.
The eldest son of the Dong family took Yang Ming to a private ward inside.
Just arrived at the door.
Yang Ming saw the eldest son of the Dong family's younger brother Dong Jiancheng, and their cousin Zhang Peiwei.
"Sir Yang."
When they saw Yang Ming appear here, Dong Jiancheng, Zhang Peiwei and others greeted Yang Ming.
At the beginning, Zhou Kaixuan met Yang Ming because of Zhang Peiwei's introduction. Now Zhou Kaixuan is one of the most important executives around Yang Ming.
Zhang Peiwei admires Zhou Kaixuan very much and is a little envious of her.
"Miss Zhang, how is Mr. Dong now?" Yang Ming asked.
"My uncle just woke up and asked if you came, and then fell asleep again." Zhang Peiwei said on the side.
"Then I'll wait."
In this era, heart disease is also difficult to treat.
Even if you have money to get heart surgery or heart transplant, considering that Mr. Dong is so old, this will naturally not be so easy.
Yang Ming is waiting outside.
The time came to 19:35 in the evening.
The nurse inside came out and looked at Yang Ming respectfully and said: "Mr. Dong has woken up. He asked Sir Yang to go in alone."
Yang Ming went into the ward.
When he saw Dong Haoyun on the bed for the first time, he really didn't expect that after two or three years, Dong Haoyun would become like this.
"Mr. Dong, how do you feel?"
"Sir Yang, I, I'm fine."
When he saw Sir Yang coming, Dong Haoyun breathed a sigh of relief.
The Dong family and Sir Yang's Empire Group First Shipping Group are both in the shipping industry, but it does not mean that the two sides are competitors. What's more, the current strength of the Dong family is completely incomparable to that of the Empire Group.
Dong Haoyun may have felt that his time is running out, so before he leaves, he must find someone to help his children and descendants.
He knew that he was not familiar with Sir Yang, but from Sir Yang's usual practices, he felt that Sir Yang was a reliable person.
"Sir Yang, I feel that my time is running out. I hope that the Dong family can get your care in the future."
