Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Hong Kong, everyone says it is the British Hong Kong! This land is owned by Swire Pacific. Most of the prime locations in Hong Kong now belong to Gui Lao. Even the leaders of the Construction Industry Federation of Trade Unions were raised by Gui Lao. To control the workers, but the situation is different now, because we have Cheung Kong Holdings and you, Henderson Land!"

On a building in a prosperous area of ​​Hong Kong Island, Boss Li of Li Jiacheng and his lawyer Song Bingshu looked at the bustling streets below, giving advice from time to time, and he was high-spirited.

Standing next to him was Henderson Real Estate boss Li Zhaoji. At this time, he also led a group of people to look at the area with Boss Li.

In recent years, Hong Kong's real estate has developed rapidly, especially with the increasing number of refugees and new immigrants pouring into Hong Kong, and the demand for housing has continued to increase.

The real estate companies under Cheung Kong Holdings and Henderson Land have always been old rivals. The two sides compete for land, demolition of old buildings, etc.

However, they are rivals and partners. When they found that they could not monopolize the land in front of them, they got together again and competed with the larger Gui Lao consortium.

At this time, their opponent was Swire \u0026 Co., Ltd. This foreign company occupied the most and largest prime location on Hong Kong Island and had already made all Chinese businessmen salivate.

This time Boss Li invited Li Zhaoji to join forces, and the other party agreed without even thinking about it.

"Let's discuss it while eating and drinking, okay?" Li Zhaoji waved his hand.

A row of people immediately came out next to them, and soon tables, chairs and benches were set up on the rooftop. A chef in a white robe served the steak cooked by himself, as well as red wine to accompany the meat.

In an instant, the originally empty rooftop turned into an open-air restaurant with a red carpet and high-end tables, chairs and benches.

Four violinists, wearing evening gowns worn only for performances, played "The Blue Danube" live to Li Jiacheng and Li Zhaoji.

Amidst the melodious sound of the piano, Li Jiacheng’s boss Li and Li Zhaoji raised their red wine glasses and smiled at each other.

This is the power of wealth, perfect!

After three rounds of drinking, I also ate about the same amount of steak.

Li Jiacheng then put down his knife and fork, pulled off the rag from his neck and wiped his mouth, threw it aside, sat up straight, picked up the red wine, shook it in his palm, and said to Li Zhaoji: "Back to the topic, we swallow this piece of land, it's probably too old. It’s very difficult to deal with the foreign company. I heard that you have a good relationship with the ghost guy from the Land Department, so I’d like to ask you to clear it up. As for the funding issue, I’ll pay two-thirds!”

Li Zhaoji slapped the table: "Okay! Boss Li is indeed a happy person. You provide the money and I contribute the efforts. But then again, I heard that you are planning to acquire thousands of acres of land in Tsuen Wan recently. Why are you suddenly planning to cooperate with me? Swallow here? Compared with Tsuen Wan, it’s drizzle here!”

"Hey, it's a long story!" Boss Li took a sip of red wine and put it down, "You also know, who is my opponent?"

"Du Yongxiao?"

"That's right, it's very difficult to be an enemy of him!"

Li Zhaoji was deeply touched and nodded: "I know, so I really want to know what the result will be?"

"How?" Boss Li smiled bitterly, "If the results are good, I won't drink with you here and discuss development plans together."

"That means losing?"

Boss Li nodded, "Yes, we lost miserably."

"How miserable is it?"

"Well?"

Boss Li wondered if the other party was gloating about his misfortune. At this moment, someone suddenly ran up to Song Bingshu and whispered a few words in his ear.

Song Bingshu's expression changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words into Boss Li's ear.

Boss Li's expression also changed suddenly.

Li Zhaoji on the opposite side could see clearly and asked quickly: "Did something big happen?"

Boss Li hurriedly shook his head and said: "Oh, it's nothing - but I have some things to deal with, so I'd like to excuse you first!" He stood up from his seat and said, "As for what we talked about today, I'll thank you Li Sheng for it. After it’s done, I’ll definitely come to thank you personally.”

"You're welcome, we are all friends, not to mention working together again this time." Li Zhaoji stood up and saw Li Jiacheng away.

Li Jiacheng was preoccupied, so he didn't say anything more, didn't linger anymore, and left directly with Song Bingshu and others.

Watching the other party leave in a hurry, Li Zhaoji pinched his chin and said, "What the hell? It's not a tsunami or earthquake, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

"Boss, do you want me to go investigate?" A confidant stood up and said.

Li Zhaoji nodded, "Check it out! Although I am cooperating with him now, if he causes any big trouble and cannot escape, I will not be willing to be dragged into the water by him! Or -"

Li Zhaoji's eyes showed a hint of shrewdness: "He can't get away, so can I take this land for myself?"

After telling his men what to do, Li Zhaoji looked around at the tall buildings, smelled the moisture in the air, and sighed, "It's going to rain again!" He turned and walked downstairs.

Outside, the sky has turned completely gloomy, just like someone's mood at the moment.

…

"Superintendent Chen, it seems that your wife and my wife are having a very happy chat."

Boss Li of Li Jiacheng personally helped the Chinese Chief Superintendent Datou Wen opposite to refill a cup of tea and said.

The guy opposite Da Tou Wen has obviously been quite high-spirited recently. After taking office as the Chief Superintendent of Chinese in Hong Kong, he has cracked a series of major cases, especially the recent case of armed fighting at the Zhongxinyi Association, the Ming Bao arson case, the deliberate assassination case of Lian Haodong, etc. As a result, his political achievements continued to rise. Not only did he become famous in the Chinese field, but even the ghost superiors also looked at him with admiration. They even issued documents to give him the opportunity to further his studies at "Scotland Yard".

As long as you go to Scotland Yard and come back gilded, your further promotion will be a certainty.

The relationship between Datouwen and Boss Li, a Hong Kong boss, is not good enough to have tea together, but this does not prevent someone from helping them thread the needle, and this person who helps thread the needle is Mr. Huo.

The Huo family has a transcendent status in Hong Kong. Although Boss Li is a rising star, he is very respectful to Mr. Huo and greets him every year and festival.

Therefore, after Boss Li came to ask for help, Boss Huo asked his son Huo Dashao to act as a middleman and help them connect. Only then did Boss Li and Datou Wen come to Lu Yu Tea House to drink tea, while their wives chatted beside them.

Datouwen was able to follow Du Yongxiao all the way, and he was not an idiot. Of course he understood that Boss Li had something to ask for from him this time. After a little thought, he knew it was related to the Li family.

As far as Datou Wen knew, the boss Li in front of him had been very close to Lee Siu-hang before, and they had a fierce fight over the Tsuen Wan land and wanted to deal with Du Yongxiao. Unexpectedly, Du Yongxiao turned around and took away Lee Siu-hang. Now you can't even get bail.

If Lee Zhaoheng cannot hold on, some of Mr. Li's old background may be revealed by then. Boss Li is famous for his shrewdness. He pays great attention to "preparing for a rainy day" and is always one step ahead. Only then did he take the initiative to find Datouwen, hoping that Datouwen would help him say a few good words to Du Yongxiao, and at least help him clear up the relationship.

"Haha, my wife is a rough person like me, with no education. Unlike Mr. Li, your wife, she looks like she comes from a famous family. My yellow-faced woman can't learn from that!"

Datou Wen is self-aware, and his education level is only junior high school. After studying with Du Yongxiao, he studied hard under Du Yongxiao's pressure. Now he can barely speak a few words about Ingredients. This time he went to Scotland Yard for further study. How can he be promoted without gold plating?

As for Da Tou Wen’s wife, she is the daughter of a street fish seller. She didn’t know a few characters when they met, and her whole body smelled like fish. However, her family was rich, but Da Tou Wen’s family was very poor at that time, so Da Tou Wen married her. In the beginning, it was purely "eating soft rice".

But who would have thought that Datou Wen would have a prosperous official career in the future. To be precise, with the help of noble people, with the help of Du Yongxiao, he directly became the chief superintendent from a plainclothes job.

Logically speaking, such a woman is no longer worthy of Da Tou Wen. Da Tou Wen can divorce his wife and remarry.

But Da Tou Wen and the other party have been married for so many years, and they have developed real feelings for a long time. Everyone tells them that a bad wife should not be abandoned.

Those Yingying Yanyan showed their charm towards Da Tou Wen, trying to squeeze out the fish seller and become Da Tou Wen's wife. The result was the same. He was kicked away by Datouwen and said: "I can sleep with you! I can play with you! If you want money, I will give it! If you fall in love, I will cooperate! You can only divorce me, no way!" "

Who would have thought that the powerful Chief Superintendent Da Tou Wen would have great affection and loyalty for his rotten wife. Even if she is old and ugly and still smells like fish, Da Tou Wen still doesn't dislike her.

"There is nothing that cannot be learned. If possible, in the future I can ask my wife to help your wife move around more, learn golf, horse riding, organize tea games, play mahjong and so on." Boss Li said with a smile.

"That's no need. My wife doesn't like these things. She usually likes to wash clothes, take care of the children, or go to the fish market to kill fish..." Da Tou Wen refused.

"Uh, killing fish?" Boss Li was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up to the photo and said: "It is said that Superintendent Chen loves his wife the most, and it turned out to be true when we saw him today! I admire him! I admire him!"

Datouwen shook his head and smiled: "What do you admire? She suffered a lot when she married me. Her originally slender waist became thicker because she helped me give birth to a baby, and her hands were calloused. Now all I can do is to She’s better!”

Boss Li nodded, "That's why I admire you even more. At least not any man can do this."

"Okay, Boss Li, don't put your hat on me anymore. Tell the truth. What's the point of inviting me to tea today?"

"Haha, Superintendent Chen is quick to talk. In this case, I won't talk in circles anymore! Now, this is the first prize lottery ticket for this issue. The prize is a little small, but it is still more than one million." Boss Li said from his own words He took out a horse racing ticket issued by the Jockey Club from his pocket and handed it to the person with the inscription on the opposite side: "Bring the ticket to the Jockey Club to redeem your prize, and you can exchange it for HKD 1.3 million upon sight."

Da Tou Wen took the lottery ticket and looked at it, shaking it in his hand: "In Hong Kong, all men are very fond of buying lottery tickets. People like me, although they don't buy every issue, they still smash it." I spent a lot of money, but I have never won a prize, let alone the first prize. I just found out today that the first prize ticket looks like this.”

"Haha, buying horse racing tickets depends on luck. Superintendent Chen, you have a prosperous official career and are already very lucky. If you are allowed to kill everyone at the racecourse again, wouldn't it be against the heavens?" Boss Li said with a smile.

Datou Wen nodded, "You're right, you can't be too greedy." He handed the lottery ticket back, "So please take back this jackpot."

Li Jiacheng's boss Li did not take the lottery ticket, but just picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "We have an unwritten rule in business, that is, the money we take out cannot be taken back. Superintendent Chen, please accept it, of course. If you think it’s too little, please say so!”

"One million and three hundred thousand, that's quite a lot!" Datouwen took a look at the ticket and suddenly asked: "How much cash did you spend to buy this ticket?"

"Not much, I paid 100,000 yuan more, bought it from the winner, and together with the cost of robbing this lucky person, it cost about 1.5 million yuan." Boss Li shrugged at Datou Wen: "You haven't won a prize, why don't I arrange for you to win the first prize next time? The racecourse is easy to control, you just need one or two good racehorses--"

"Thank you! I'm a civil servant, it's not convenient for me to go in and out of the racecourse. Besides, I can get here, in addition to the help of noble people, I have also defeated many opponents. Those people are eyeing me and are always eyeing my position. I can't ruin my bright future for a few horse races. As for this horse ticket, I can accept it."

Datou Wen put away the horse ticket that Boss Li prepared for him: "When do you want me to call for you?"

"The sooner the better!" Boss Li said, "I listen It is said that Li Zhaoheng is in custody and cannot even be released on bail. "

Datouwen picked up the pure silver tea set and took a sip: "I am very curious. There are so many people around Mr. Du, why did you come to me?"

"The reason is very simple--" Boss Li said: "First, in the entire police force, you have been with Du Yongxiao the longest, second, you saved his life, and third, you are a man of your word--I have found out everything before coming here, is there anything wrong?"

Datouwen smiled and said to Boss Li: "To be honest, I am a rough man. But I know what to do and what not to do. Since I am willing to accept your lottery ticket, I will do my part, you can rest assured about this!"

Boss Li said happily: "That's good!"

Now what he is most afraid of is that Li Zhaoheng will not be released on bail, and then he will be dragged into the water. According to Du Yongxiao's vengeful personality, it will be miserable at that time.

Just when Datouwen was having the last conversation with Boss Li---

Someone suddenly ran in and whispered to Datouwen.

Boss Li knew that person. He was Datouwen's subordinate and was also responsible for tipping off.

After the person finished speaking, Datouwen waved his hand with a strange expression, asked the person to leave, and then looked at Boss Li: "Now there are two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Is it related to me?"

"It is related."

"Then let's start with the good news."

"Li Zhaoheng's subordinate Li Tiansheng all pleaded guilty, and Li Zhaoheng was acquitted."

"Uh, what?" Boss Li stood up and widened his eyes.

"What's the bad news?"

"The bad news is." Datouwen stood up and shook the lottery ticket, "I don't plan to return this thing to you!"
