"Excuse me...are you Shi Zhijian, Mr. Shi?" When Luo Bao found Shi Zhijian at the Sha Tin horse race as Yan Xiong said, Shi Zhijian was feeding a black horse in the stable.
Shi Zhijian looked back at this strange old ghost, and continued to pass the grass towards the horse's mouth, "Yeah, who are you?"
"Oh my god, you are so young, I can't believe it!" Luo Bao exclaimed and glanced at Chen Huimin, who was guarding him next to Shi Zhijian, "And there are very few bodyguards around you, unlike others.
Hong Kong tycoons are always cheered and supported when they come in and out!"
Hearing this, Shi Zhijian became interested in this ghost old man for the first time. He turned to look at Luo Bao: "You haven't answered yet, what's your name?"
"My name is Rogelio Robau!"
"Are you from Macau? Who are you, Pedro Luo Paulo?" Shi Zhijian looked at the other person.
Luo Bao immediately laughed and said: "God, you are the first person to know my identity after I reported my name! Yes, he is my father, and I am his useless son!"
Shi Zhijian nodded, "Tiger father has no dog son, you don't have to be too modest!"
Luo Paul scratched his head, "I'm not being modest, I'm telling the truth! Since I inherited the family business, our family business has been going downhill."
The black horse finished the fodder handed over by Shi Zhijian and barked at him.
Shi Zhijian touched the horse's forehead.
Luo Paul: "Is this your horse? What's its name?"
"Black Lightning!" Shi Zhijian said with a smile, "It was originally the beloved horse of a friend of mine, and then it was bought by another friend of mine. Now he has left Hong Kong, and I am the only one to take care of it!"
Luo Bao blinked: "If my guess is correct, this black lightning horse was originally Xu Sanshao's racehorse. Mr. Shi, you and Inspector Lei Luolei made their first pot of gold with it. Later, Inspector Lei wanted to commemorate this
On a meaningful day, I spent a lot of money to buy this racehorse from Mr. Xu. I wonder if I am right?"
Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's right! It seems that Mr. Luo Bao, you have put a lot of effort and done a lot of homework! This is not a place to receive guests, why don't we go to other places to discuss!"
Shi Zhijian himself is an interesting person, so he also likes to interact with interesting people. Obviously, this young master Luo Bao, who said he had no talent and ruined the family business, is an interesting person.
…
Inside the cafe.
Shi Zhijian ordered two cups of coffee and talked face to face with Luo Bao.
Luo Bao now finally understands why Shi Zhijian doesn't like other Hong Kong tycoons who greet each other before going out, but he only takes one person with him because it's not necessary.
As long as you inquire a little bit, you will know that both black and white in Hong Kong are now controlled by Shi Zhijian, the boss behind the scenes. Who dares to have bad intentions towards him? I am afraid that they will be taken advantage of before they even take action.
Luo Bao took a sip of coffee, then took out a piece of information from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it to Shi Zhijian: "Mr. Shi, I am very sincere in coming from Macau this time, and this is the expression of my sincerity!"
Shi Zhijian took the information and looked at it with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Your sincerity is too much. You actually gave me 3% of the equity of Luobao Group?"
Luo Bao smiled: "I don't have any talent in business, but I have unique skills in distributing money. My late father told me this many times! But let's disperse like this today
It’s the first time that we have a 3% stake in the group.”
Shi Zhijian put the equity on the table, tapped it with his fingers and looked at Luo Bao: "Why are you doing this?"
"Because I want to make friends with you, Mr. Shi! Only in this way can I express my sincerity!" Luo Bao said with a smile, "Besides, I heard that Mr. Shi, you are planning to enter the jewelry industry, and our Luo Bao Group started out as a gold trader.
Yes, you must know this very well. If you can own three-thirds of the equity, you will be even more powerful in the jewelry field!"
Shi Zhijian raised his fingers to take a sip of coffee, raised his eyes and said: "Now I doubt what you said before. You are a very mature businessman no matter how you look at it. At least you understand what equal exchange is. Look at what I paid for it."
We also need a lot of things----"
Luo Bao did not answer, but took out another piece of information from his briefcase and handed it to Shi Zhijian: "Please take a look at this before talking!"
Shi Zhijian curiously took the second piece of information handed over by Luo Bao, forgetting it without reading it, but when he saw it, he was stunned by the idea of this ghost old Luo Bao.
It turns out that Luo Bao actually wanted to build the Kowloon Walled City, a city within the city of Hong Kong, into a second Macau!
The area of the Kowloon Walled City is about the same as that of Macau Street. In addition, it is originally a "three no matter" area. Therefore, the gaming industry can be operated openly in the Kowloon Walled City and the Kowloon Walled City can be built into a new gambling city that is parasitic within Hong Kong.
!
To put it bluntly, the Luobao family has declined in Macau, so the young master in front of him has taken a different approach and is preparing to start over from the Kowloon Walled City to start a new business for the Luobao family. There is no doubt that the gaming industry is the least investment and the most profitable.
.
Shi Zhijian closed the documents in his hands and threw them on the table.
Luo Bao looked confident, holding his coffee and waiting for Shi Zhijian's reply.
You know, after discovering this business opportunity, Luo Bao was excited all night, thinking that it was the right time, right place, and the right people. Kowloon Walled City was unique in terms of area, location, and jurisdiction for historical reasons. It was simply to create a new casino.
Born in the city!
If Shi Zhijian is an ambitious person, then he will definitely accept his proposal, and then the Luo Bao family will be able to gain a new life with the help of Kowloon Walled City.
"Master Luo Bao, I have to say that your idea is very good, very unimaginable! It is also shocking!" Shi Zhijian said calmly.
Paul's face showed joy: "Then you mean... you agree?"
"Wrong! I object!"
"What?" Luo Bao almost jumped up in shock. He couldn't understand why Shi Zhijian vetoed such a seamless plan to make a fortune.
"Mr. Shi, did I hear wrongly? You actually oppose my plan? Do you know how much new wealth you can get if Kowloon Walled City becomes a new Macau? You will be the new gambling king of Kowloon Walled City!
Even the gambling king of Macau will bow to you..."
"Sorry, I already have enough wealth. I don't need to rely on gambling to accumulate wealth for myself!" Shi Zhijian said calmly, "I am not a saint or a gentleman. I like money and the feeling of sitting on wealth.
.But you can never make enough money in this world, let alone relying on gambling to make money. I feel uneasy no matter how much money I make!"
Shi Zhijian glanced at Luo Bao, who looked a little angry: "To be honest, Mr. Luo Bao, if I accept your proposal today and turn the Kowloon Walled City into a new gambling city where everyone is greedy for gambling, then it will be the same as before.
What's the difference? What I, Shi Zhijian, want to do is to save the Kowloon Walled City, not save the Kowloon Walled City and then throw it into hell!"
Luo Bao was stunned for a moment, with a hint of disdain on his face: "Then I'm curious, how will you build Kowloon Walled City in the future?"
Shi Zhijian put down his coffee and glanced at Luo Bao: "Do you really want to know?"
"Yes! Give me a reason to see if it's worth it for you to reject my new casino plan?"
"It's very simple. I plan to build the Kowloon Walled City into a city of technology!" Shi Zhijian said in a dreamy tone, "I will move the best semiconductor technology in the world to the Kowloon Walled City! Let it become Hong Kong's Silicon Valley!"
"Huh?" Luo Bao was in a daze, and then laughed: "Semiconductors? Technology? Do you think those are more profitable than opening a casino?"
Shi Zhijian did not answer directly, but replied: "Time will give the best answer."
"Okay, okay! Then I'll wait and see! Whether this city of science and technology of yours can succeed!" After saying that, Luo Bao stood up and took away the equity and plan before leaving.
"Finally, Mr. Shi, I still want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to discuss this plan. Although you declined, it does not mean that others will not be interested!"
"Others?" Shi Zhijian smiled, "It seems that I am the only one who can control Kowloon Walled City..."
Luo Paul smiled: "Maybe it is now, but it doesn't mean it will be the same in the future!"
After saying this, Luo Bao packed up his suit, carried his briefcase, gave a slight salute to Shi Zhijian, and said goodbye.
Watching Luo Bao leave, Shi Zhijian stroked his coffee cup. Indeed, Luo Bao's plan was a very tempting big cake, but it was also a very dangerous time bomb. I don't know which greedy people would want to take a bite of the cake.
And trigger this bomb.
As for the science and technology city envisioned by Shi Zhijian, in fact, Hong Kong missed such a development opportunity in the previous life.
At that time, Hong Kong was about to return to China and was preparing to transform its economy from an economy dominated by real estate to one dominated by technology development. To this end, it was necessary to build a technological Hong Kong and a science and technology park in Hong Kong.
It's a pity that such a good planning blueprint has been ruined by those Hong Kong capitalists who rely on real estate. They are afraid that once Hong Kong's technology develops, real estate will decline, and the land they hoard and the shops they own will shrink.
, this is a devastating event for them.
In order to be able to rely on the land for generations, those Hong Kong capitalists used various excuses to suppress the construction of the science and technology park. They said that the land for the construction of the science and technology park belonged to an environmental protection zone, causing environmentalists to protest against the establishment. They also charged high fees for technology companies that moved to the science and technology park.
The water and electricity bills, etc. eventually led to the abortion of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park plan, and many technology companies no longer moved their companies to Hong Kong.
Since then, Hong Kong has become a unique financial center by selling land and building buildings alone.
Now Shi Zhijian wants to break the constraints of this era and let Hong Kong start to take off relying on technology from this era.
Especially in a place like Kowloon Walled City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Three Controls, the most valuable thing is that you can look north to China. With the support of the mainland, semiconductor technology can help the construction of the motherland in the future and not be choked by other countries!
