Chapter 539 The Four Great Families of Xiangjiang (4000+ Chapters~)
"Oh, what are you doing? Let me sleep a little longer!"
When Chen Le was pushed awake by Dai Zhen, he stayed in bed reluctantly.
"Get up, Angkor is leaving!"
Dai Zhen stepped forward and kicked Chen Le awake.
"Damn it, you dare to kick me!" Chen Le suddenly got up on the bed.
Dai Zhen looked at Chen Le funny: "What? You have an opinion!"
"Hmph, a gentleman talks but never strikes!" Chen Le said with an inward tone. Chen Le, who had already fought against Dai Zhen, knew that even if he had learned the clone technique, he would not be Dai Zhen's opponent.
After he finished washing and dressing up, he followed Dai Zhen to the car to wait for Wu Jianye.
Five minutes later, Wu Jianye also walked out of the corridor, but this time he was alone. After getting in the car, Wu Jianye said: "Let's go have breakfast!"
The driver turned back and said: "Director Wu, the place has been arranged!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Then let's go!"
The place they are going to is Jiu Kee Beef Brisket in Central, Xiangjiang. This is a century-old restaurant in Xiangjiang. It is well-known throughout Xiangjiang. Moreover, the owner of this store is very personalized. It only opens at 12:30 every day. It is closed on Sundays and holidays.
There is also a break, but even so, there are countless people queuing up every day.
And you don’t have to be surprised to meet any celebrities here, because many celebrities are frequent visitors to their home.
As for why Wu Jianye can eat it when he wakes up in the morning, it's very simple. Someone had already arranged this thing last night, and no matter how personality the boss of Jiuji Beef Brisket is, he still deserves it.
Soon a few people arrived at Jiuji Beef Brisket located on Gough Street in Central.
Many people gathered around here, wanting to go in, but they saw the waiter blocking these people at the door, "Sorry, there are distinguished guests in our store today, so we opened the door early. If you want to eat, we will open the door at ten o'clock at noon."
Just come over at half past two!"
Regarding this situation, the onlookers did not complain. Although they lived under Western rules, they followed the hierarchy more than people in China. In Xiangjiang, the rich are the privileged class, and they have long been accustomed to this.
Case.
For example, in the early days, only ghosts could live in the luxury houses in the mountain top and mid-level areas of Xiangjiang, and not Xiangjiang people at all...
The waiter quickly saw Wu Jianye and immediately smiled: "Director Wu, you are here. The food is all ready and waiting for you to cook."
"Then let Jiu Ji take the pot. Don't tell me that I haven't eaten your beef brisket noodles for a while and I really think about it!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
"Then please come in." The waiter smiled and invited Wu Jianye in.
After a few people walked in, they randomly found a table and sat down.
Chen Le looked at the crowd of people outside looking in, and said curiously: "Brother, why do I feel that you are more prestigious in Xiangjiang than in Yanjing?"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Let's eat your noodles, where does all this nonsense come from!"
If you have money in Xiangjiang, you will show off, but in China, having money does not mean everything...
After a while, the waiter came over with four bowls of beef brisket noodles and a few stacks of side dishes. Wu Jianye added some red oil and vinegar. When he ate it, the taste was still so authentic.
They did not stay here for long. After eating the noodles, Wu Jianye and others left. This time the driver did not drive to the apartment where Zhou Huimin lived, but to the villa in Repulse Bay.
Before Chen Le could react in this luxurious villa, Gong Ying had already walked out with Wu Qichen in his arms. Seeing Wu Jianye teasing Wu Qichen and being intimate with Gong Ying, Chen Le felt that he had been there for more than 20 years.
Living in vain......
Dai Zhenxiao looked at Chen Le's surprised look, and without saying anything, he took him directly back to their room in the villa.
Wu Jianye hugged Wu Qichen and chatted with Gong Yin.
In the afternoon, the phone in the villa rang.
"Sir, this is Zheng Weng's phone number." the servant said.
Wu Jianye walked over and answered the phone: "Director Wu, how long do you plan to stay in Xiangjiang this time?"
"Zheng Weng, you are really well-informed. I received a call from you every day as soon as I got home."
"Haha, I also heard what my security guard said today. I saw your car today and I didn't know you were back. Do you have time to sit down in the evening? There are some things I want to talk to you about!" Zheng Yutong said with a smile.
Wu Jianye glanced at Gong Ying, who was looking forward to it, and said with a smile: "Zheng Weng, I'm afraid it won't work today. Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, I'll ask Zheng Weng to play waves!"
Zheng Yutong didn't say anything. The two made an appointment to meet tomorrow and hung up the phone.
Gong Yin asked: "Will it delay you from doing your business?"
Wu Jianye took Wu Qichen from Gong Yin's hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I guess it's purely an official matter, nothing will happen!"
Zheng Yutong has retired this year, and his son Zheng Jiachun, who is known as a pure official in Xiangjiang, has taken over New World. As the second largest shareholder of New World, Yuzhi Investment will naturally meet Wu Jianye. I hope Wu Jianye can do the same.
He trusts his eldest son as much as he does himself.
When Gong Yin heard what Wu Jianye said, he smiled happily, "Then you won't be going out today!"
Wu Jianye lifted Wu Qichen up, made Wu Qichen smile happily, and said, "I'm not going out. I won't go out even if the King of Heaven calls me today. The most important thing is to stay at home with my wife and son!"
Gong Ying's smile became even sweeter.
The two chatted for a while, and Wu Jianye remembered that his silly brother came to Xiangjiang for the first time, so he picked up the phone, called Dai Zhen and Chen Le's room, and called them in
.
"Chen Le is coming to Xiangjiang for the first time. I'll let you have a good time in Xiangjiang for a few days. You won't have to come back for a few days. Dai Zhen, you know where to stay. Just keep an eye on Chen Le!"
Dai Zhen smiled and said: "I know Angkor!"
Chen Le stood by and asked again with certainty: "Brother, where are you?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about me, just go and have fun."
Gong Yin was standing by and said, "If you want to go out to play, you have to wait until dinner is over. Your cousin comes to Xiangjiang for the first time, so he has to have dinner at home!"
Wu Jianye smiled at Chen Le and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Chen Le said quickly: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Hearing Chen Le call him sister-in-law, Gong Yin seemed even happier.
Thinking that there would be a lot of people eating at night anyway, Wu Jianye called Zhao Lei's family, Zhou Tao's family, and Yan Wen's family and asked them to come over for dinner.
Zhao Lei's family was the first to come over. He came to Xiangjiang for a vacation, so naturally he didn't have much work to do. It didn't take long for the couple to come over with Zhao Ling'er in their arms.
As for Zhou Tao's family, it's more troublesome. Sun Qing is not in Xiangjiang at all, but in Pengcheng. The hotel in Pengcheng is opening. Sun Qing will spend more than half of the year in Pengcheng, which makes Zhou Tao a little reluctant.
But there was nothing that could be done about it. Sun Qing's career ambitions were not far behind Qian Sisi's, and now she was focused on the hotel in Pengcheng.
In the end, Zhou Tao just brought Zhou Fei and Zhou Na to the villa.
After Zhou Fei saw Wu Jianye, he immediately ran over with his mouth pouted: "uncle, where is my game console?"
Wu Jianye knew that Zhou Fei was talking about the New Year, and he promised him the gameboy. He smiled and said, "I have prepared it for you a long time ago. After that, I went to the bedroom and brought Zhou Fei the gameboy."
When Zhou Fei saw this, he smiled and started playing with his handheld device.
The last ones to arrive were Yan Wen and Qian Sisi. Uncle Qian's retirement report would have to wait for some time, so they had not arrived in Xiangjiang yet. After seeing Qian Sisi, Wu Jianye scolded them.
"Didn't I tell you that I won't let you work? Why are you coming here so late?"
Yan Wen complained from the side: "Brother, please tell her something. I told her not to let her work anymore, but she still doesn't listen."
Qian Sisi glared at Yan Wen, and then said coquettishly to Wu Jianye: "Brother, my work must not be handed over to the people in the office."
Wu Jianye said: "Tomorrow is the last day. If the handover cannot be completed tomorrow, I will call Luo Dazhuang and ask her to fire you directly!"
Although Qian Sisi has finished her internship, she has not officially resigned from Luo Wenjin Law Firm.
Whether it is now or thirty years later, when talking about the four major families in Xiangjiang, they are definitely the Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, and Guo Desheng families. However, the first generation of the four major families since the opening of Xiangjiang was someone else.
They are the first generation's richest family in Hong Kong, the Ho Tung family. The later gambling king of Haojiang, Ho Hong-shen, is the grandson of Ho Tung's younger brother, Ho Fu.
The Li Xishen family is also a well-known comprador family in Xiangjiang, but their family's fortune history is not that glorious, and Li Xishen also died unexpectedly. Today, the descendants of the Li family rely on the ancestral property left by their fathers to collect rent, and their net worth is
Also billions...
In fact, if we have to break down the Gao Kening family, the Gao Kening family does not belong to Xiangjiang, but is the top wealthy family in Haojiang. At the same time, Gao Kening is also the king of the pawn industry in Hong Kong and Macao. As for the first generation of gambling in Haojiang
He is Wang Furong's partner.
Therefore, some people generally put the Gao Kening family outside the four major families in Xiangjiang. The people who replaced their family in the four major families in Xiangjiang are the Zhou Yongtai family or the Li Peicai family.
After the Zhou Yongtai family entered the 1950s, they have kept a very low profile and rarely made news, while the Li Peicai family has a large number of influential figures, the most outstanding of whom is Li Fuzhao, who founded the first Chinese stock exchange.
The last family that is relatively uncontroversial is the Luo Wenjin family. Unlike the above families, although the Luo Wenjin family also came from a comprador background, they later focused more on the political circles in Hong Kong.
Luo Wenjin rose rapidly in the political world. At the age of 28, she was canonized as a justice of the peace. At the age of 39, she was appointed as a gentleman of defense and a member of the Health Bureau. At the age of 42, she was appointed as a member of the Legislative Council. At the age of 48, she was awarded a knighthood by the King. At the age of 53, she was appointed as a member of the Executive Council.
, 55 years old, the King of England knighted him.
The Law family has many lawyers (lawyers) and is the oldest and most influential family of lawyers in Hong Kong. Among them, Law Man-jin is the most famous.
By the way, Luo Wenjin's wife is Ho Tung's eldest daughter, Ho Jinzi. When the two got married, the then Hong Kong Governor Mei Hanli came to congratulate her in person, which shows the influence of the two families in Hong Kong.
Of course, there are actually many theories about the four major families in this ranking in Hong Kong and Macao, but the most uncontroversial among them are the Ho Tung family and the Luo Wenjin family.
Now the head of Luo Wenjin Law Firm is Luo Wenjin's son, Luo Decheng, who is known as "Big Luo" in Hong Kong.
Qian Sisi said helplessly: "I know, why don't you just obey me?"
Seeing Qian Sisi agreeing to Wu Jianye's request, Yan Wen smiled happily. Although Yan Wen was the boss of a consortium with a market value of over tens of billions outside, he still couldn't do anything to his wife at home.
The only people who could control Qian Sisi were Lu Fangfang and Wu Jianye, not even Qian Aijun.
"You just know how to laugh!" Qian Sisi rolled her eyes at Yan Wen.
Then Gong Yin smiled and said: "You too, the first three months of pregnancy are a very dangerous time for a girl, so don't dare to have any problems at this time."
Qian Sisi went to school in Yanjing, and followed Yan Wen to Xiangjiang after graduation. It can be said that both Zhu Xian and Gong Yin have a very good relationship. They regard them as their big sisters, and they do the same now when they see Gong Yin.
Said, smiled and hugged Gong Yin's arm, and said coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, I understand, I want to drink the soup you made today."
Gong Yin said dotingly: "Okay, my sister-in-law will make soup for you later. I will come over often when I have nothing to do. I called you before and always said you were busy with work. This time I have no work. You have to come home more often, you know!"
Qian Sisi smiled sweetly and said, "I know!"
As the hostess, Gong Yin took Qian Sisi and Chai Ou to talk to the side, while Wu Jianye chatted with Yan Wen and others.
Wu Jianye brought several people to the study room and said to Yan Wen: "You can stop investing in rb. I'll give you six months to sell off all the company's real estate and stocks in rb!"
After the Plaza Accord, RB entered a false stage of rapid development. Both real estate and the stock market were developing in a shocking way. Even during the 1987 stock market crash, RB's Nikkei Index was experiencing negative growth.
At the time of the Plaza Accord, Wu Jianye did not put much money into the RB market, but after the stock market crash ended, Wu Jianye asked Yan Wen to put most of his experience into the RB market.
Especially real estate and stocks, but the economic bubble in rb will reach its peak this year. There is no need for Wu Jianye to wait until the economic bubble officially bursts next year before leaving. By then it will be too late.
Now is actually the best time to start leaving the rb market in an orderly manner.
In fact, the RB government has already felt the pressure at this time. The rise in asset prices has begun to be unable to be supported by the industry. However, at this time RB will decide to change its monetary policy. From May this year to August next year, RB Bank raised the central bank's policy five times.
The discount rate increased from 2.5% to 6%. At the same time, the RB Ministry of Finance required all financial institutions to control real estate loans, and the RB Bank required all commercial banks to significantly reduce loans. By 1991, the RB Commercial Bank had actually stopped lending to the real estate industry.
What followed was the collapse of the rb real estate market bubble, followed by a series of chain reactions, and rb began a decade-long economic recession!
