Reborn Tycoon Rise

While Xu Zhi was chatting with Wu Guangzheng, Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji and others were also chatting casually. Although it was possible to talk about business on this occasion, it was impossible to talk in detail. They talked more about macroeconomics. House price trends, etc.

"It's so lively here!" A loud voice came, and everyone turned their heads to look.

Among the many rich people in Xiangjiang, many of them can become the business card of Xiangjiang. In the 1960s and 1970s, the shipping king Bao Yugang was famous overseas. After the 1980s, Li Jiacheng was called the Superman of Xiangjiang. But there is one person, even though his wealth is more than Not as good as the other two, but their fame and influence are far inferior to those of Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng.

Huo Yingdong was born in Xiangjiang. Affected by World War II, he dropped out of school to work. Later, he continued to run grocery stores, maritime businesses, real estate and other businesses.

In the 1950s, Huo Yingdong pioneered pre-sale "off-the-plan" business methods, installment payments, shared area and other business methods, which made great contributions to the development of Xiangjiang's real estate industry. After entering the new century, the mainland's economic explosion was also inseparable. Develop these "great inventions".

When everyone saw it was Huo Yingdong, they immediately stopped their conversations and stepped forward to say a few polite words. After a while, Huo Yingdong pulled out and came to Bao Yugang and others.

"Bao Sheng, long time no see." Huo Yingdong came over to say hello.

Bao Yugang laughed and said, "Huo Sheng, you too, I heard you went on a trip?"

Huo Yingdong replied: "Yes, I recently went to the north again and saw a lot of scenery!"

Bao Yugang smiled and said: "Yes, but it's a pity that I don't have time, otherwise we could go together."

Huo Yingdong glanced at Wu Guangzheng next to Bao Yugang and said, "Sooner or later, the world belongs to young people. We old men should retire early and stop thinking about business every day."

"It's not that easy!" Bao Yugang sighed.

Huo Yingdong is actually 5 years younger than Pao Yugang. However, because he was suppressed by the Hong Kong government in the 1960s and 1970s, the Chinese Bank that Huo Yingdong invested in and built in Central was unable to have water and electricity, and other businesses He was also made things difficult for him, and in the end his arms were no longer strong enough for his thighs. After selling the Chinese Bank, Huo Yingdong left the business world and semi-retired. Otherwise, with his business talent, there would be nothing to do with Li Jiacheng in the future.

It was not until the 1970s that Sino-US relations broke the ice, the mainland began to ease relations with the West, and the British Hong Kong government no longer targeted businessmen who were pro-North Korea. Huo Yingdong slowly became active. However, after a long period of self-cultivation, he no longer valued money so much. In recent years, he has been bent on helping the mainland get rid of poverty. At the same time, he intends to persuade more like-minded business figures in Hong Kong to invest in the mainland, or to change some of their ideas.

Bao Yugang turned around and introduced to Huo Yingdong: "Huo Sheng, this is Xu Zhi, you should have heard his name."

Huo Yingdong's eyes lit up, he glanced at Xu Zhi, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Xu Sheng made a lot of money in the United States. This has increased the prestige of our Xiangjiang!"

Xu Zhidao: "It's not that exaggerated. I'm still just a junior above the shopping mall. I have to learn more in the future!"

Huo Yingdong smiled and said, "No problem. I heard that you also opened a real estate company. So you are preparing to enter the real estate industry?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, we have this plan."

Huo Yingdong said: "A hero comes from a young age. It seems that other real estate businessmen in Xiangjiang will have to worry again.

However, Xu Sheng should also know that the north is undergoing reform and opening up, and there are many opportunities contained in it. Moreover, the mainland government is now very welcoming to investors in Xiangjiang, and the policies are also very good. Xu Sheng can go and take a look, maybe there will be better ones. invest! "

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Okay, I will choose a time to go and have a look."

"Let's do it." Huo Yingdong thought for a while and said: "Next Tuesday I will invite many rich people to my mansion to chat about daily life. If Xu Sheng is free, you can also come and have a look. Although this is a party at the Hong Kong Governor's House, There are many people, but it’s not suitable for detailed discussion.”

"No problem!" Xu Zhi thought for a while, then nodded and agreed!

"Ding ding ding......"

There was a sound, which was the official start of the banquet. Countless waiters were carrying trays of champagne glasses, and everyone present had a glass in their hands.

Hong Kong Governor MacLehose walked to the front row, said a few words to the host, then took the microphone, whistled a few times, and said with a smile: "Gentlemen and ladies, thank you very much for coming. Come here to attend this charity gala for the elderly and orphans. On behalf of these people, I thank you all!"

After saying that, he bowed slightly on the host stage.

"Bah bang bang..." The people below clapped their hands.

MacLehose stood on the podium, enjoying the bursts of applause below. After a while, he raised his right hand and opened his palm to signal everyone to stop.

After the applause stopped, MacLehose coughed dryly and said: "Although I am from the UK, Hong Kong is my second hometown. From the first day I came here, I have been determined to build this city into the top city in Asia." city.

After five years of hard work and the cooperation of everyone in the audience, Hong Kong is now the brightest pearl of the British Empire in Asia. But this is just the beginning. We have an obligation to maintain the prosperity of Hong Kong.

From a small fishing village more than a hundred years ago to a world-famous metropolis now, we in the UK..."

If he were sitting here, Xu Zhi would probably doze off while listening. Unfortunately, this is a party, not a banquet, and everyone is standing. There is a restaurant next door, and those who are willing to eat after the party can go and have a meal.

However, MacLehose was giving a passionate speech. It seemed a bit too disrespectful to go next door to rest at this time.

After waiting for a while, MacLehose slowly finished speaking. Although this guy didn't say it clearly, he kept praising the contribution of his motherland, the United Kingdom, to Hong Kong. In other words, he said that other than the United Kingdom, no other country should manage Hong Kong. , are all unacceptable and not in the interest of everyone present.

But a politician is a politician. He expressed what he meant. Everyone understood what he meant, but he didn't say anything directly. I guess even the officials from the mainland wouldn't be able to refute it. After all, they didn't say anything directly. , the things mentioned all happened in the past. Although some people put all the credit on the British, it is not a big problem.

But this theory is bullshit. If you rob someone else’s house and renovate it, will the house become beautiful? Should this house be yours?

That's all the bandit theory is!

After MacLehose finished his speech and walked off the stage, members of the International Red Cross Society also came on stage to give a speech. Afterwards, the charity auction officially began.
