In Hong Kong, which is such a small place, news spreads very quickly!
Shi Zhijian's battle with the Gui Lao Court on behalf of the Chinese people not only did not damage his reputation, but was further commended by the Queen of England as a "Viscount". News spread like wildfire!
Since the British colonized Hong Kong, there have been very few Chinese knights. You can count them on your fingers in the past hundred years. The most powerful among them is undoubtedly "Wei Baoshan", known as "Lord Wei".
It is said that when Jin Yong wrote "The Deer and the Cauldron", he was the prototype, and Wei Xiaobao became a classic character.
Wei Baoshan was born in Hong Kong in 1849, alias Wei Yu. The dynasty he lived in was the Qing Dynasty. His father was a local Yin Fu, and his two younger brothers were both lawyers. It is reported that Wei Baoshan was a Hong Kong banker and politician who was sent to prison when he was 18 years old.
He studied in Western Europe and traveled in Europe after graduation. After returning to Hong Kong, Wei Baoshan worked in business, held public office, and entered the National Defense Bureau and the Statute Bureau. In his later years, Wei Baoshan was knighted by the British court, becoming the successor to Sir Ho Kai and the Eurasian mixed-race Ho Tung.
After the knighthood, he was the third Chinese to be awarded the knighthood.
However, most of the titles of He Qi and Ho Tung are "Subordinate Knights", which is the oldest knighthood in the UK. Most of the people who are awarded the "Subordinate Knights" are judges of the Supreme Court and members of famous families.
Wei Baoshan directly belongs to the ranks of barons, so Wei Baoshan is also nicknamed "Sir Wei" by Hong Kong people!
In contrast, Shi Zhijian became a baronet at a young age, and now he has been directly promoted from a baronet to a baronet, which is unique in the entire Hong Kong Chinese community!
Many envious Hong Kong tycoons sarcastically say that knighthood in the British Empire has become cheap and anyone can get it.
Some people who can't eat grapes and say sour grapes even went so far as to say that the people in London, England, did this to cover up their scandals and to win people's hearts, and Shi Zhijian was just being used as a pawn by them!
But no matter what, Shi Zhijian's acquisition of a viscount directly broke the convention in Hong Kong's history that the highest Chinese title could only be a baron. Not only did all the Chinese stunned, but also many ghost tycoons dropped their jaws!
All of a sudden, bigwigs from all walks of life in Hong Kong arrived one after another, and the Shi family mansion was almost overrun!
Shi Yufeng, who was entering a period of spiritual practice, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, was directly interrupted by this wave of ferocious guests.
Shi Yufeng always thought that Papaya and Ding Yongqiang could "turn the danger into safety" this time and that she had made a great contribution to her belief in Buddhism, so she planned to fast for a month and not let others disturb her practice.
But not even a day had passed, and my younger brother had turned into a viscount! The people in London were still urging Shi Zhijian to go to England to receive the honor.
Shi Yufeng was dumbfounded. Looking at the newly built Buddhist temple, she didn't know whether she should return to the world.
She was still hesitating. Shi Zhijian's three wives, Nie Yongqin, and the others could no longer resist them. There were too many guests, and they, the female family, needed to find a backbone. Besides, Shi Yufeng was still Shi Zhijian's sister. The seniority was put aside here, and there were many
They can’t make the final decision!
Not to mention the eight servants of the Shi family, they were all in a hurry as waves of guests arrived!
Even the little black dog raised by the Shi family was exhausted by the neighbor bitches. Because they heard that this was the black dog of the Shi Zijue family, many neighbors had bad intentions and let their bitches seduce him, hoping to get pregnant.
Get Xiaohei's "dragon seed" and feel happy!
Seeing that the entire Shi family was in chaos! Shi Yufeng couldn't bear it anymore, put down the beads and said: "That's it! As long as you have Buddha in your heart, I don't need to do much!" Then she lifted the hem of her cheongsam and shouted outside: "
I’m going to fuck you up, guests are here and they still don’t serve tea? Bring out the best oolong tea from our Shi family! Also, if they come to visit us in the future, ask them to call and make an appointment first. If they don’t make an appointment, it won’t even bother them.
Get food!"
…
The Shi family is bustling with activity.
The shares of Shinhwa Group created by Shi Zhijian have soared, and the performance of unlisted companies has soared!
For the group, Shi Zhijian's promotion to Viscount is a great benefit!
At this time, those companies that had cooperative relationships with Shinhwa Group and were related to the Shi family also followed suit.
Boss Li Jiacheng of Yangtze River Industry was even more happy from ear to ear, because recently Yangtze River Industry was cooperating with Shinhwa to develop hydropower projects. Such a major benefit directly caused the stock of Yangtze River Industry to soar from 1.2 yuan to 2.5 yuan! That’s a lot.
Doubled!
But before Li Jiacheng could finish being happy, he heard that Hong Kong's Dai's Enterprise's stock was even more powerful than theirs, Cheung Kong Holdings, and soared three times!
The big boss of the Dai Group, Dai Fengnian, was even more happy to receive the red envelope. The reason was that Dai Fengni openly admitted her close relationship with Shi Zhijian and announced that Master Dandan was Shi Zhijian's "only son"!
In other words, the Dai Group controlled by Dai Fengnian actually possesses the magic weapon "Shijia Longzi". It would be strange if the group's stock price does not skyrocket!
The good news from Dai's Enterprise here has not stopped, and there is also good news from Ritchie Group, which has been criticized by others. Ritchie has signed a perfect "strategic partnership relationship" with Shinhwa Group and plans to work together within ten years.
Join hands for in-depth cooperation in the food industry, real estate industry, and electronics industry!
You must know that these three major industries are the pillars of Shinhwa Group. They have never cooperated with others easily, but now they are willing to join forces with Ricci. What does this mean? It shows that Shinhwa and Ricci have emerged from the quagmire of mutual hostility and have begun to become close comrades-in-arms.
!
Why is this happening? According to reliable sources, Lee Seol-hyun, the female head of Ritchie Group, is actually Viscount Shi Zhijian’s favorite “horse” in private!
As soon as this news came out, Ritchie's stock soared! It actually broke the curse of years of weakness and became a "magic stock" sought after by many investors!
Li Zhaotian, who was in prison, was shocked by the news!
He always thought that letting Li Xuexuan control Li Shi on his behalf was just a temporary measure, and that Li Xuexuan was only used. When Li Zhaotian left, he could directly seize power and make a comeback!
But now——
There is no doubt that as Lee continues to grow stronger, those old shareholders and board directors will definitely change their direction and start supporting Lee Seol-hyun!
"Damn it!" Li Zhaotian shouted as he grabbed the prison fence. How he wished he could fly out at this moment!
…
Compared with those big companies in Hong Kong that have received huge dividends from this promotion, for the people of Shijia Village in Tsuen Wan, Shi Taigong and others are very worried!
Not long ago, they just built a new tomb for Shi Zhijian's father, Shi Dafu, and erected a monument to the tomb of "Baron Shi Zhijian's father". But now, the baron has become a viscount, what should we do?
Shi Zhijian's second uncle Shi Dagui suggested that it would be better to just remove the baron and replace him with a viscount.
But Taigong Shi shook his head and refused, because the tombstone cannot be changed casually!
There is no other way, so the only choice is to re-erect the monument, which will involve making a shocking noise, beating gongs and drums, and most importantly, spending money to treat guests...
There was so much commotion last time that Taigong Shi couldn't bear it. If Shi Yufeng hadn't given Shi Taigong 100,000 yuan in the end, Taigong Shi wouldn't have known how to explain it to his two living sons.
Just when Shi Taigong was extremely worried, the nearby dignitaries heard about this incident and generously donated their money and decided to contribute a little bit to this incident of Shi Zijue's family!
In the blink of an eye, one million is available!
One million to erect a tombstone?
Shi Taigong simply couldn’t imagine the money in his hands!
The second uncle, the third uncle and others never imagined that this kind of thing could make money without losing money?!
In fact, the dignitaries and dignitaries nearby are not stupid either. Since they can shell out one million, they can certainly earn back two to three million!
As a result, based on the suggestions of these people, Shijia Village was directly developed into a tourist attraction! Its main attractions include "The Ancestral Hall of the Shi Family", "Sir Shi's Birth Room", "Sir Shi's Childhood Playing on the River Beach", "Sir Shi's Childhood Stealing Room"
"Guardian" and other famous scenic spots.
For a time, Shijia Village became famous in Tsuen Wan, and even broke through the New Territories and went beyond Hong Kong Island and Kowloon!
…
Wan Chai, Hong Kong, Bobo Dance Hall.
"Woof woof woof!" The puppy Bobo snuggled into Xu Sanshao's arms with great dissatisfaction, looking at Shi Zhijian who was walking towards this direction with a pair of dog eyes sadly.
I think back then Bobo was also a high-spirited and energetic pet dog. Just because of Shi Zhijian, a bitch, Xu Sanshao was so cruel to him that Bobo became a dog eunuch. Now he eats nothing and plays with it.
Nothing boring, the greatest pleasure all day long is to bask in the sun.
Bobo is a dog that holds grudges, so his hatred for Shi Zhijian has been building up for three years.
Now that it saw its enemy again, it was of course very dissatisfied and barked at Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian saw Xu Sanshao and the others, and also saw Bobo waiting for him with a pair of dog eyes. He immediately took out a dog's favorite rubber ball and threw it to Bobo.
Bobo immediately whined and started playing with the little leather ball happily.
Seeing this, Xu San scolded: "A dog is a dog, it has no concentration at all! When you have a ball to play with, forget about killing the bird!"
Shi Zhijian glanced around and said: "Three or four years have passed in the blink of an eye. This dance hall is also old. It seems that I need to ask Yong Qin to help decorate it!"
"Why should we decorate? Nowadays, dance halls are not popular anymore. Let's just change them into saunas! Those customers come here to dance, so why don't they look for girls to take advantage of them? If you want to use saunas, you can pay as much as you like!" Xu Sanshao
He took out his cigarettes and threw one to Shi Zhijian.
Next to him, Young Master Huo said: "You are wrong to say that, Third Young Master!"
"What's wrong?"
"Akin is now a quasi-viscount, the number one Chinese in Hong Kong! If word spreads about him doing something like this, his reputation will be ruined!"
"Pick! Isn't the Viscount amazing? My third young master will also be promoted to a justice of the peace this year! Although he is a little lower than A Jian, he is still very sharp!" Xu Sanshao's mouth was full of sourness, "Hey, I don't tell you that you won't
I know that according to my ability, I can actually be knighted, but I don’t like it! Why do I want to be a knight of foreign devils because I am a Chinese? I have black hair, black eyes, and I am the descendant of the indomitable dragon!"
"Here you go, drink first!" Shi Zhijian helped Xu Sanshao open a can of beer and handed it over, saying with a smile.
"Wow, so attentive? Lord Viscount actually opened a drink for me?! Needless to say, you are either a traitor or a thief!" Xu Sanshao took the beer and touched it with Shi Zhijian first, took a sip of the beer, and then joked.
"You've already said this, and I'm not polite to you. Have you finished the task I asked you to do?" Shi Zhijian put down the beer and smiled at Mr. Xu.
Xu Sanshao shrugged and leaned on the sofa with a big boss attitude, "That's okay, of course it's OK if I take action!" As he spoke, he took out some information from his pocket and threw it on the wine table, "You take a look first!
It contains the contact information of my friend John Hong, and I will ask him to pick you up at the airport at that time! Also, I will help you with your place of residence, admission procedures, etc. Do you like it or not?"
Shi Zhijian picked up the information and looked through it a few times, "Where's my niece's? You know she's going to England with me too."
"Is she really going to go if she is so young? Your sister is too cruel!" Xu Sanshao said, but pointed at the information, "The last one! The aristocratic boarding school! The annual tuition fee alone is one hundred thousand pounds.
, most people simply can’t bear it!”
Shi Zhijian nodded and looked through the information more carefully than his own. Sure enough, as Xu Sanshao said, that school is a very famous aristocratic middle school in the UK. Many children of Hong Kong bosses go to school there, and they can graduate.
Promote directly to an institution under the University of Oxford and Cambridge in the UK, laying the foundation for studying at Oxbridge in the future.
Here, Young Master Huo also took a sip of beer and said, "Okay, I can't drink this wine for free! I can handle what you asked me to do, Ajian!" He also took out the information from his body and said, "These are
It took me a lot of effort to get the detailed information of some coal mining and natural gas companies in the UK. Please take a look first!"
Shi Zhijian couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this and hurriedly looked at the information.
Young Master Huo couldn't help but said: "Hey, I don't understand. Now the coal mines and natural gas companies in the UK are about to go bankrupt. What's the use of studying them?"
The UK is a resource-rich country in Europe, especially coal and natural gas resources. In the past, it continuously exported coal and natural gas to neighboring countries such as France and West Germany through country-to-country transactions, earning a lot of gold and silver.
However, as the situation between the Soviet Union and neighboring European countries has eased in recent years, especially relying on East Germany as a transportation link, cheap coal and natural gas from the Soviet Union have been continuously transported to countries such as West Germany and France, causing the British side to
Coal and natural gas cannot be sold! As a result, many energy companies are facing bankruptcy!
The book "A Hundred Years of British Economy" once recorded: "In the first half of 1971, 13 coal mines and 18 natural gas companies declared bankruptcy due to poor management and other reasons, and some companies were in foreclosure.
The bidding started in pounds, but no one took it!"
But Shi Zhijian knows that on October 28 this year, the British House of Commons will vote 356 to 244 to announce that it will officially join the European Economic Community in the future!
By then, the price of coal and natural gas in the UK will skyrocket! Coal mines and natural gas companies will become veritable "gold mines"!
Now all Shi Zhijian has to do is go to the UK, acquire those cheap coal mines and natural gas companies that are about to go bankrupt, and become the "coal boss" of this era!
