"Huo Sheng."

"Shao Sheng."

Victoria Peak.

Inside a villa decorated with antique carvings.

The villa has cornices, white walls and black tiles, taking the beauty of Hui-style architecture as the main theme and matching the landscape of Su-style gardens.

It's condescending, with small bridges and flowing water, and it's elegant and exquisite.

From a pavilion next to the fish pond, you can stand on the top of the harbor and enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbor.

Full of Chinese style.

This was the former Lei Mansion Villa, but after several years of design and renovation, it became a Chinese-style Zhuang Family Villa.

It has been designed by many domestic masters. It is now the most elegant mansion in Hong Kong. It is the first of its kind to build a Chinese-style mansion. It is low-key but attracts much attention in top circles.

At first, Zhuang Shikai planned to renovate the Lei Mansion villa and use it as a vacation home and for gatherings of senior police officers.

However, since he crossed the line with the motherland and became a patriotic businessman, he thought carefully that the golf club in the New Territories was enough for internal use of the police force, so he used this villa as a gathering place for patriotic businessmen.

We are all patriotic businessmen. We have both money and character, so we should enjoy some good things.

…

"Zhuang Sheng."

"You made this villa look more like a garden."

"I feel like I'm walking into the Humble Administrator's Garden."

Mr. Huo, Mr. Shao and others walked into the villa door wearing crisp suits, pocket squares stuffed on their chests, and gentle expressions.

After looking around for a while, they started to praise him again and again.

"Ha ha."

"Everyone please."

"Let's go to the pavilion and chat."

Zhuang Shikai smiled implicitly, pointed forward, and walked forward with several big bosses.

Brother Luo gave the villa to him back then.

It can also be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

Of course he couldn't waste it.

Although the villa is very valuable, it is impossible to sell it.

He is not short of money, so how can he sell such a thing? And the higher the value of the property, the harder it is to sell it. Almost all people in Hong Kong who can afford to buy a villa on the top of a mountain are short of villas to live in.

So not only did he not sell it, but he poured money into it! And he spent a lot of money at once!

In addition, due to design, construction period and other reasons, Zhuang's Villa is open to the public for the first time today.

After Zhuang Shikai finished handling matters at the dock, he drove to the top of the mountain to prepare.

At this time, the group of people walked along the nine-curved corridor to the pavilion at the end.

"Please." Zhuang Shikai said with his hands tied.

The four of them nodded slightly and sat on the floor beside the table.

Beside the square table made of mahogany, there are several linen cushions.

On the square table, there is a plate of colorful pastries printed with ancient characters, a simple and elegant teapot made of purple sand, and a box of Mingqian Longjing.

Although each portion of pastry is not large, there are Cantonese style, Chaozhou style, Fujian style, and Suzhou style, which perfectly meet the taste preferences of guests.

In addition, in a pavilion ten meters away.

A girl wearing a plain robe sat upright, with a guzheng in front of her, her fingers resting on the strings.

Two female waitresses wearing blue and white porcelain cheongsam stood beside the pavilion.

As the guests and hosts sat down one after another, the waitress immediately came forward to pour tea. A melodious sound of the piano came from the distant pavilion, and the piano musicians began to play the piano.

Zhuang Shikai was sitting on the main seat, tapping his fingers on the coffee table, making a soft clicking sound.

On his left is the waterside pavilion, and on his right is the night view of Victoria Harbor.

You can both watch the scenery and be in the scenery.

After Mr. Huo sat down and experienced it, he couldn't help but praise softly: "Zhuangsheng."

“So elegant!”

Mr. Shao picked up a piece of Su-style pastry, took a bite, and said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I've had such authentic dim sum."

Mr. Shao's ancestral home is in Zhejiang. Elders, relatives and friends in his family often buy Suzhou-style pastries.

This also makes Mr. Shao somewhat partial to the Soviet style.

However, Hong Kong Island is mostly Cantonese-style and there are few shops selling Soviet-style food.

When Mr. Shao took a bite, he immediately felt a long-lost taste, and his soul seemed to be penetrated.

Zhuang Shikai knew the details of these people very clearly, and naturally arranged them carefully. At this time, his expression was calm, and he smiled as expected: "Shao Sheng, I specially asked a master chef to make it. Come and taste it if you have the opportunity."

"Definitely, definitely." Mr. Shao held half a piece of pastry in his hand and nodded frequently.

After looking around for a while, the chartered king picked up his tea cup and said: "Director Zhuang."

"Make a price!"

"I bought this villa!"

This sentence is undoubtedly a compliment to the master.

Zhuang Shikai smiled and replied generously: "Priceless!"

"As long as Mr. Bao wants it! Give it to me with both hands!"

"It's over."

"A gentleman never takes what others like! It doesn't matter if you offer 100 million or 1 billion. It really kills me to say it's priceless." The chartering king shook his head with emotion, while the big bosses next to him burst into laughter.

In fact, everyone likes Sir Zhuang's style of being in a different courtyard, and they deliberately praise him in different ways.

As long as the owner is happy and the atmosphere is pleasant, that's fine.

Who would really want to buy a house?

No one would sell this kind of house easily!

And cook tea, play the piano, chat, and enjoy snacks.

This is what Zhuang Shikai and Cai Yuanqi call eating midnight snacks.

There is no way, things are different for the boss. Mr. Huo and Mr. Shao will not drive a sports car or plane with him, and take a large group of people to Mong Kok to eat barbecue and fish eggs.

With whomever you communicate with, you must do things that are consistent with your identity.

Zhuang Shikai could neither neglect the other party nor let the other party look down on him.

Otherwise, others will think that he is just a police officer who can use knives and guns to kill.

Then it's not beautiful.

Not only will there be much less business cooperation in the future, but many opportunities will also be missed. You will not be able to be true friends with the big bosses and can only maintain superficial relationships.

After all, knowing how to "play" is also an important ability for the upper class.

As long as people can "play" together, they are true friends.

Obviously, Zhuang Shikai's style of play is not only in line with his own aesthetics, but also very popular with several big bosses. During the conversation, they have regarded Zhuang Shikai as a "playmate" instead of a simple collaborator.

At this time, Mr. Song raised his wine glass and said: "Come, let's congratulate Mr. Zhuang on becoming a director of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and drink a cup of tea together."

"Drink tea."

"Drink tea."

Mr. Huo, Mr. Shao and others raised their teacups.

"Thank you."

Zhuang Shikai smiled slightly, raised his glasses together, picked up the teacup with three fingers, and put the tea into his mouth.

Today, there is a gathering of five people from the top circle. It’s not like someone is hungry and just makes a phone call and asks them to come out for a late-night snack.

There is a reason... The reason is that Zhuang Shikai became a director of the "Chinese General Chamber of Commerce" in Hong Kong Island on the recommendation of four people.

"Hong Kong Island Chinese Chamber of Commerce" is the most influential "Chinese nation" chamber of commerce in the world.

Founded in 1900 on Hong Kong Island, it has spanned dynasties and centuries of change, with more than 8,000 members covering various industries such as retail, manufacturing, technology, real estate, finance, media, and transportation.

Each member is wealthy, has huge influence, and has the right to vote in various parliaments.

In Hong Kong Island, only those who join the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce can be called "big bosses".
