Although there is a gap of several decades in age between the two, the gap in their status is also huge.
But what Li Jin did along the way determined that what he had to do would not be easy.
"What can make you so serious? I'm interested." Mr. Huo said warmly.
When Mr. Huo said these words, he actually thought in his heart that Li Jin most likely encountered a difficult opponent and needed to use the power of the Huo family to solve it.
The old man didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
In his opinion, the better a person is, the more enemies he will have. If he really has no enemies, he is either invincible, or the person is just a piece of mud, and others are not even interested in dealing with him.
Mr. Huo himself has also been trained and tempered by one enemy after another to get to where he is now.
However, what Li Jin said next made Mr. Huo's snow-white eyebrows tremble.
"Old man, the last time the Internet economic bubble burst and the Hong Kong stock market plummeted, it was obviously the entry of Western capital that was behind all this."
"Just like the year they returned, their thieves are still there and they are always trying to steal our economic gains through such despicable means."
"This means that in the eyes of Western capital, we are just livestock they have raised in captivity. When we grow fat and strong, they can break open our doors at any time and take away all our hard-earned money if they are willing.
"
The gentle smile that Mr. Huo always wore in front of Li Jin disappeared, and his eyes that had gone through countless vicissitudes were now full of resentment and unwillingness.
The Huo family is unique among the many wealthy families in Hong Kong City because Mr. Huo is a truly patriotic businessman from the bottom of his heart.
He really puts patriotism into practical actions, giving up or even damaging his own considerable interests for the collective benefit, rather than the slogan of patriotism that some rich people shout every day.
Because whether it was the year of the return or the financial crisis earlier this year, Mr. Huo already had a deep hatred of Western capital.
"Ajin, it's good that you can see this level at your age." Mr. Huo said, but his tone was full of helplessness towards reality besides admiring Li Jin.
"But whether it is the port city or the entire mainland, the actual situation is that we are still weak and poor. In the face of powerful forces, we have no way to fight back. We can only endure this bad breath for the time being."
"Only when we are strong, with sufficient capital and strong enough fists, others will not dare to bully us."
Li Jin heard this but said: "Others don't know, but I can't bear it."
Mr. Huo smiled, and instead of attacking Li Jin, he praised: "Yes, young people must have such spirit and drive."
"We old people will tolerate it because we have to consider the overall situation, but you are still in the stage of tempering yourself. Learning to hide one's strength and bide one's time too early may not necessarily be a good thing."
"Old man, I plan to take action." Li Jin said suddenly.
The smile on Mr. Huo's face froze for a moment. Although it only lasted for a few breaths, this obviously emotional loss of control appeared on Mr. Huo, which clearly shows the impact Li Jin's words had on him.
"A Jin, don't be too impulsive." Mr. Huo frowned and said.
A second ago, he was praising Li Jin for being impulsive as a young man, but now, he was trying to stop him from being too impulsive...
