I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state.

Federal Building.

Imperial Group.

Office of the Chairman.

Yang Ming sat there drinking hot coffee that Lin Xiuzhi had just brewed.

"Lin Xiuzhi, go get Merlis."

"Yes, boss."

Lin Xiuzhi came to the general manager's office next door.

Melis is also busy.

Now Malice is the general manager of the Empire Group. Companies such as Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa are not under his control. However, all matters of the Empire Group, large and small, basically fall into his hands.

I used to be the CEO of Haw Par Corporation in Singapor. It seemed that I managed a lot of things. Compared with the Imperial Group, it was really far behind.

"General manager, the boss asked you to go there."

"Secretary Lin, I'll be there right away."

Merith stood up.

Mai Lisi came to the chairman's office, and Yang Ming said: "Ma Lisi, do you know where I went last night?"

Where did Yang Ming go last night?

Mai Lisi didn't know, and neither did Lin Xiuzhi.

"I went out drinking with Ma Shimin last night."

Ma Shimin is an alcoholic.

Everyone who has been with Ma Shimin knows this. However, Ma Shimin's drinking does not affect the other party's work.

And in the Imperial Group.

Meris is the second-ranking figure in the Imperial Group.

Ma Shimin is the third person in the Imperial Group.

Is there any competition between the two?

There must be some.

Meris was a little envious, but he rarely drank alcohol. Except for the occasional red wine, he would not touch brandy or vodka.

In addition, the Imperial Group has many affairs, and he rarely even touches red wine.

"Ma Shimin and I went to Lan Kwai Fong."

This place is Lan Kwai Fong.

Just in the Central District of Xiangjiang.

Located on the south side of Queen's Road Central in Central.

It only takes 15 minutes by car from Causeway Bay.

It's not too far from the Federal Building.

Neither Ma Shimin nor Lin Xiuzhi knew about this place.

However, when Lin Xiuzhi heard this name, she always felt it was weird.

Yang Ming asked Mai Lisi to sit down.

Meris was listening, and he knew that the boss was definitely not looking for him to talk about drinking with Ma Shimin.

"I found a big business opportunity. There are many white people in Xiangjiang, and many white people like to live in Europe and the United States. Although Xiangjiang is greatly influenced by Europe and the United States, it is still a little different from Europe and the United States."

Over the past hundred years, Xiangjiang has become a colony of country Y.

Country Y brought a large amount of culture to Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang became a place where China and the West merged.

However, in Xiangjiang, there is always a lack of the bar street feel like abroad.

As Sheng Zhiwen said, Hong Kong is an international metropolis. Country M has Soho, Canada has Montreal, and Hong Kong can also have Lan Kwai Fong.

In fact, this is a kind of bar culture.

At present, the bars in Xiangjiang are actually relatively scattered.

Maybe there will be one on the beach in Victoria Harbor or one in a corner.

In this case, it is more difficult for white people to choose a bar that suits them.

If dozens or even hundreds of bars and Western restaurants were opened in Lan Kwai Fong, then for those white people, it would be as if they had whatever they wanted.

Most of the "yuppies" who work in Central want to find a place to chat after get off work.

No other place is suitable.

Historically, it was Sheng Zhiwen who discovered a place like Lan Kwai Fong by chance, and eventually turned Lan Kwai Fong into a famous scenic spot in Hong Kong and even internationally.

When Yang Ming said that, Meris finally understood.

It turns out that the boss wanted to invest in a place specifically for people to drink.

This place is Lan Kwai Fong.

In other words, this is actually a kind of property investment.

Yang Ming plans to buy or rent the entire area around Lan Kwai Fong, and then make it available for rent after overall renovation.

Instead of two or three scattered bars like now.

There are already a few scattered bars there, but they have not yet become large-scale and have not been publicized, so outsiders have no idea about them.

"Boss, do you mean to buy everything around Lan Kwai Fong?"

"Yes, if the price is right, buy them all."

"Boss, I have to take a look at the situation there first and investigate the information on the surrounding properties."

"No problem, I'll leave this matter to you."

I have to say that with Meris, Yang Ming can feel much more relaxed.

He explained these things clearly to Meris.

Meilisi and his subordinates can do a good job.

Meris returned to his general manager's office, brought his subordinates over and assigned tasks.

Among them, information on properties in Lan Kwai Fong, including shops and buildings, was investigated.

In addition, this should be done quietly.

If discovered by others, it will trigger a series of chain problems.

Melis found himself joining the Imperial Group.

In addition to acquiring Siamese Xu Shubiao’s ownership of Red Bull.

Acquired Li's TV station.

Now comes the third major acquisition.

This time we are acquiring the entire Lan Kwai Fong property, which may be a bit more troublesome.

. . .

That afternoon.

Merith leaves the Federal Building.

I took a few people and quietly came to Lan Kwai Fong where the boss said.

Lan Kwai Fong is really not well-known now, so they found it by searching maps and detailed road signs.

When they saw an L path going uphill to an alley, they finally knew the place.

This place is actually in an alley of a somewhat shabby building in the bustling city center of Zhong District.

Many buildings here are not very high, only two or three floors.

Because it is mainly a hillside, even if it is two or three floors, it is not actually a short place.

Now, when they came here, they actually didn't see many ghosts.

Except for a few scattered bars that were closed, I occasionally saw a few citizens or tourists who came here accidentally.

Bars and Western restaurants only open here at night, and white people only come here at night to drink and listen to music and spend the night.

Of course there was no one to be seen in broad daylight.

Just this kind of place?

Even in the bustling city, the boss Mr. Yang actually wants to buy the entire place for overall investment.

Meris was a little confused, and his subordinates were even more confused.

However, Meilisi never doubted his boss's business talent.

How could Mr. Yang, who could swallow up Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and even buy a stake in Huifeng Bank, have bad eyesight?

Merisi walked around for almost half an hour, taking in everything around him.

He probably figured it out.

Can these places be acquired as a whole?

We still need to investigate clearly.

Melis took his subordinates and left here.

Return to the Federal Building Empire Group.

"Boss, I just went to Lan Kwai Fong you mentioned."

"how?"

"Like an alley in a slum."

In the early 1970s, those places might have looked even more dilapidated if the Government House had not been investing money in repairs, reconstruction, and beautification of the environment.
