Chapter 404 The envy of little women and the doubts of big men (4000+ chapters~)
Kowloon, Wong Tai Sin Temple!
Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin arrived here.
Wong Tai Sin Temple is very famous in Hong Kong. There is never a shortage of people burning incense and worshiping Buddha here. When talking about Hong Kong, the first thing that comes to mind is the prosperity and movies here.
But little did they know that Xiangjiang, which was far more prosperous than the country at this time, had always been very obsessed with Feng Shui, ghosts and gods. Everyone in Xiangjiang paid attention to Feng Shui, and it could be said that everything was as small as having children, weddings, weddings, building buildings, and investing.
, you should ask a Feng Shui master to take a look.
Even the newly completed HSBC Tower in Xiangjiang has Feng Shui.
The later president of HSBC Asia Pacific studied abroad for many years. With a master's degree in engineering and computer science, he firmly said at a lunch banquet: The most beautiful high-rise building in Hong Kong is the HSBC Headquarters Building.
Some people have also commented on this. The "Dragon Vein" of Hong Kong starts from the Kowloon Peninsula, passes through Victoria Harbor, goes ashore and goes straight to Victoria Peak and then enters the sea in Central. The HSBC Head Office is located in the direction of the most "wealth-gathering" at the mouth of the sea. It is the "hidden treasure" of Hong Kong.
"Vault" location.
Later, there were also descriptions of the famous Xiangjiang Feng Shui War in Hong Kong.
The construction of the Bank of China Building started in 195, with the blade pointed at the Government House (today's Government House). In December 196, Duke Youde suddenly died of a heart attack in Yanjing, becoming the only Hong Kong governor to die while in office. The blade was second.
One pointed at the military barracks of the Hong Kong Garrison at that time. Another pointed at HSBC. At that time, HSBC's performance suddenly declined and its stock price plummeted.
After consulting a Feng Shui master, HSBC creatively set up two "cannons" on the roof of the building to form a "battle of swords and cannons" with Bank of China to resolve the issue.
Since then, many high-rise buildings have quietly imitated the Feng Shui trick of "mounting cannons on the roof".
The HSBC Tower and the Bank of China Tower started as two heroes competing for hegemony, and later Li Chaoren's Yangtze River Group Center also joined the fight.
In the late 1990s, the location of the center of the Yangtze River Group owned by the richest man Li Chaoren was awkwardly sandwiched between Bank of China and HSBC. Following the advice of a Feng Shui master, the richest man Li built the Yangtze River Center in the shape of a shield on all sides, giving it an airtight appearance.
Just like a fortress, its height cleverly avoids the relative position of the "knives and cannons". Although it has been repeatedly criticized for not being beautiful enough, it has remained unscathed since its completion.
The story is not over yet. It is said that one year a typhoon blew the cannon upstairs of HSBC Bank askew and pointed it at Standard Chartered Bank. Although the brothers were both British-owned banks, the matter was so important that they could not take it lightly. Standard Chartered Bank
A lawyer's letter was sent to HSBC, demanding correction within a deadline. After the Bank of China Building was completed, the Citibank Building built next to it was designed in the shape of a book opening, with its opening corresponding to the sharp corner of the Bank of China Building. It is said that
It is also to block murderous intent.
This shows how deeply rooted the theory of Feng Shui is in Hong Kong.
On weekdays, Asia Television and TVB will also invite Feng Shui masters to TV stations to do programs, and the ratings are still very high...
Although Wu Jianye has never paid much attention to the theory of ghosts and gods, but he has encountered such things as rebirth and time travel, so naturally he would rather believe it or not.
"I thought you didn't believe this!" Zhou Huimin walked beside Wu Jianye and said with a smile.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "This kind of thing has always been mysterious and unpredictable, so I should just buy it for peace of mind!"
The two read some inscriptions. Wong Tai Sin Temple, formerly known as Sik Sik Yuen, was built in 1921. After decades of careful management, the entire temple has been resplendent and magnificent.
The architecture of Wong Tai Sin Temple is majestic and resplendent, and is full of the characteristics of Chinese classical temples. The temple covers an area of more than 1,000 square meters. In addition to the main hall, the Main Hall, there are also Sansheng Church, Congxin Court, etc. Among them, the archway building is the most distinctive and fully
Express Chinese traditional culture.
The Nine Dragon Wall in Wong Tai Sin Temple is modeled after the Nine Dragon Wall in Beijing. On the wall are engraved poems by the chairman of the Chinese Buddhist Association, adding to the traditional Chinese characteristics of Wong Tai Sin Temple.
The main hall is splendid and magnificent, with fine carvings. Under the atmosphere of incense, believers worship with their heads bowed and pray for good fortune. There is an inscription in the hall, which briefly introduces the process of Huang Chuping becoming an immortal.
The two of them walked around and donated some sesame oil money to the master here.
Zhou Huimin looked at Wu Jianye shyly and asked, "Why don't you ask for a signature? It will be very effective!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Okay, what do you want to ask for?"
Zhou Huimin: "I won't tell you." Then she left a string of laughter like silver bells and ran to the place where the signatures were asked to be signed.
Wu Jianye walked to Zhou Huimin's side with his hands behind his back and watched her pious request for signatures without saying a word.
Zhou Huimin soon asked for two signatures, but after taking a look at Wu Jianye, he pushed them aside and asked the master to read the signatures with a blushing face.
Wu Jianye stood there bored, looking at Zhou Huimin.
Soon Zhou Huimin excitedly found Wu Jianye with the sign, handed a sign to Wu Jianye, and said with a smile: "Sign up."
After Wu Jianye took it, he looked at it and saw that it read: Golden scales are not objects in the pond. They transform into dragons when encountering the storm.
.......
When the two of them walked out of Wong Tai Sin Temple, they encountered several girls playing and playing with each other, which caught Wu Jianye's attention, because several of the girls inside looked very familiar to him.
Zhou Huimin laughed and said: "These are female artists from TVB!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "I know, that one is Zeng Huaqian who starred in Miao Ruolan in "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain", and the other two are Wu Junru who starred in "The Deer and the Cauldron" Zeng Rou, and Fang Yi's Liu Jiali."
Zhou Huimin glanced at Wu Jianye in confusion.
Wu Jianye smiled, knowing what she was thinking, and touched her head and said: "Fengge Entertainment has the idea of signing them. I happened to be in Xiangjiang recently, so they gave me their information and wanted to ask me.
Views!"
Zhou Huimin nodded.
Zeng Huaqian and others obviously recognized Wu Jianye. The voices of the girls were obviously much softer. Liu Jiaqing even bravely nodded to Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye nodded, said nothing, took Zhou Huimin's hand and left Wong Tai Sin Temple.
"Wow, that was mainland director Wu Jianye just now, he has such a strong aura!" Wu Junru sighed with her mouth wide open.
Zeng Huaqian curled her lips: "That aura is so powerful, why didn't I notice it?"
Wu Junru rolled her eyes at Zeng Huaqian and said, "Then why did your voice become so quiet just now?"
"That's because you all spoke in a low voice. If I spoke louder, wouldn't I look unladylike?" Zeng Huaqian said sternly.
"cut!"
Liu Jiali didn't say anything, but she couldn't hide the envy in her eyes. In May this year, Wu Jianye attacked the Academy Awards out of anger, causing the Academy Awards to lose face.
He is obviously a top presence in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
And the girl next to him, she also knew, was ATV's most popular actress, Zhou Huimin.
There have always been rumors about the scandal between Zhou Huimin and Wu Jianye on the radio. Now looking at the closeness between the two, it seems to be true, and Liu Jialing is envious of Zhou Huimin.
.......
Wu Jianye went to see the charter king on Thursday night.
He also formally proposed to acquire 15% of the equity of Standard Chartered Bank from the chartering king.
If it was this time last year, Wu Jianye approached the chartered ship king and proposed to acquire the shares of Standard Chartered Bank from the chartered ship king, the chartered ship king would definitely not agree.
Before the Charter King came to Hong Kong, he was actually the manager of a bank in Shanghai. He always had ideas about the financial industry. At that time, in order to invest in Standard Chartered Bank, the Charter King even withdrew from his position as a director of HSBC.
At that time, experts in Xiangjiang also believed that the Charter King would achieve his third major goal in life after the Shipping King and real estate giant, becoming the first Chinese executive of the old Standard Chartered Group and dominating the Asian financial world.
It's just that although the charter king is the largest private shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, he became a "controlling equity" holder, holding more shares than any other shareholder in the group. He later served as the group's vice chairman.
However, things did not develop in the direction that people hoped for. The chartered ship king's opinions never influenced the management, and his plan to increase the share purchase did not succeed. The chartered ship king was somewhat discouraged.
If it were just these conditions, the charter king would still not sell his shares in Standard Chartered Bank, but this year the charter king had health problems.
The Charter King found out that he was suffering from cancer. This made the Charter King, who had always been ambitious, fall into grief for a while. He was no longer as enthusiastic about Standard Chartered Bank as before. At this time, the Charter King
Speaking of which, the most important thing is to take care of your own affairs.
The chartering king had no children in his life and only had four daughters. The four daughters were Bao Peiqing, Bao Peirong, Bao Peili, and Bao Peihui. The four sons-in-law were Austrian Helmut Sokoman, and later his daughter-in-law.
Bao Peiqing named him Su Haiwen.
The second son-in-law, Wu Guangzheng, was born in Shanghai. He was educated in Xiangjiang and went to college in the United States, where he majored in architecture, physics and mathematics. Later, by some strange coincidence, his interest shifted to business and he obtained a bachelor's degree at Columbia Business School.
MBA
Bachelor of Science.
The third son-in-law, Shinichiro Watanabe, met Bao Peili at the University of Washington. At that time, Shinichiro Watari was studying architecture and Bao Peili was studying art. Their common aesthetic vision sparked the spark of love between the two young people.
After receiving a master's degree, he first stayed in Los Angeles, and was later called back to Hong Kong by the chartered ship king.
The fourth son-in-law, Zheng Weijian, is from Guangdong Province. He was born in Hong Kong and is engaged in cancer research in the United States. He is an academician of the Medical College of Wisconsin and the New York Memorial Hospital for Cancer.
Zheng Weijian loved his career very much. After marrying Bao Peihui, the two settled in the United States, established their own business, and lived an ordinary life. Every time the chartering king went to the United States, he would visit his daughter, son-in-law, and grandson at his daughter's home in Long Island.

197
Zheng Weijian just returned to the team in 2006.
Last year, the charter king was actually planning his retirement plan. In September 2016, the charter king gave up the position of chairman of Global Shipping Group to his eldest son-in-law Su Haiwen. After that, Su Haiwen was elected as a member of the Legislative Council and became the charter leader.
The only successor in the family to enter the core organization of power in Xiangjiang.
In October 2006, the charter king handed over the chairmanship of Wharf to Wu Guangzheng. Currently, Wu Guang is the successor of the land kingdom of the Bao Group. He is responsible for seven listed companies of the Wharf and Wheelock groups.
As for the third son-in-law, Shinichiro Watanabe, the chartering king has always had complex feelings for the rb people that are difficult to express in words. Therefore, the arrangement for the third son-in-law once made the chartering king very embarrassed. In the end, he decided to transfer all the Bao Group's control of rb.
The business was handed over to Shinichiro Watanabe, who acted as the spokesperson of the Bao Group in rb.
When the chartering king was diagnosed with cancer this year, he finally recalled his fourth son-in-law back to Xiangjiang, and handed over the Bao family's nearly 10 billion U.S. bonds, stocks and cash to Zheng Weijian to take care of...
....
It was under such circumstances that the chartering king also knew that his four sons-in-law could not truly succeed him in realizing his ideas in the financial industry, so he came up with the idea of disposing of Standard Chartered Bank shares.
If Wu Jianye had not appeared, Standard Chartered Bank would have proposed a rights issue fund-raising plan this year to compensate for its losses in the financial crisis. At the same time, it also had the idea of diluting the equity of the chartered ship king. If according to the chartered ship king's position in Standard Chartered Bank,
Shares, this time the rights issue raises funds, the chartering king needs to contribute 46 million pounds!
In the end, the charter king gave up the rights issue to raise funds, first sold part of his shares in Standard Chartered Bank, and then next year will sell all his remaining shares in Standard Chartered Bank.
It was precisely for these reasons that when the chartering king heard that Wu Jianye wanted to acquire his shares in Standard Chartered Bank, he did not refuse, but asked.
"The outside world has been rumoring that Wu Sheng wants to acquire Land, and now he turns around and wants to acquire Standard Chartered Bank. Wu Sheng should know that this will be a huge sum of money, right?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Funds are not a problem. If Bao Weng is willing to sell, we can start formal negotiations immediately. After the negotiations are over, the funds will be received immediately!"
The Charter King fell into deep thought. At this time, he had a new understanding of Wu Jianye's financial resources. Whether it was Land or Standard Chartered Bank, the funds involved were calculated in billions of Hong Kong dollars.
.
Could it be that the news that Wu Jianye wanted to acquire Land was false and that his real idea was to acquire Standard Chartered Bank?
But this doesn’t make sense. Wu Jianye had clearly shown that he was determined to acquire Land...
"Will the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank's company also make Yaoguang Group?"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "It's not Yaoguang Group, but Shanhai Investment, the holding company of Yaoguang Group!"
It is not an easy thing to acquire Standard Chartered Bank. It not only involves the exchange of money, but also another problem that needs to be solved, that is, Standard Chartered Bank is registered in England. If you want to acquire Standard Chartered Bank,
, you must obtain the consent of Yinglun. If it is acquired as Yaoguang Group, Yinglun may not necessarily agree!
Investment registered in Shanhai in the Cayman Islands will be a better choice.
The chartering king took a serious look at Wu Jianye. The young man in front of him was only in his early thirties, but he actually had such strong financial resources?
In the end, the charter king did not give a definite reply, but told Wu Jianye that he needed to think about it.
