Li Jiacheng never expected that Shi Zhijian would slap him in the face, criticizing the "couple trick" he came up with - the public stall was useless, and mocking him as a beggar fighting for food.
You know, in order to design this public stall, he racked his brains, how to calculate every penny, and how to maximize the profits of the real estate. These are the fruits of his hard work after spending countless days and nights.
But all these efforts were dismissed by Shi Zhijian as worthless, and he was also scolded for throwing himself into the street.
However, Shi Zhijian knew very well that in 1968, Li Jiacheng devised the concept of "pool area" when selling the Champagne Building.
Because this concept has helped countless developers seek more profits, it is still used today.
The simplest thing is that if you buy a 100-square-meter house, the shared area may only occupy 20 square meters. In fact, you only own a house of 80 square meters, and a lot of money is spent on the "unlivable" shared area.
Shi Zhijian, like many people, hates this kind of "shared area" unique to the country!
It’s okay to get money, but when it comes to getting it like this, if you don’t throw money at someone else, who will?
Seeing Li Jiacheng blushing at being scolded by Shi Zhijian, Li Zhaotian was busy trying to smooth things over: "There are a hundred ways to do business with a hundred people! Since Ajian you don't like this kind of shared area, then don't do it!"
Looking back, Li Zhaotian said to Li Jiacheng: "Boss Li, don't be angry. I understand that you are doing this for the good of us real estate developers! Have fun making money, and I think many people will be grateful to you!"
"
"Since Mr. Shi doesn't accept my suggestion, I won't force anyone to do anything difficult! I just hope that Mr. Shi will do what you say and never use a public stall in your life!" Li Jiacheng said harshly.
Li Jiacheng is full of sincerity. The stall he invented is so profitable that anyone who is greedy will inevitably adopt it. Will Shi Zhijian still slap him in the face?
"Okay, let's not dwell on this issue anymore!" Li Zhaotian chewed his cigar and rolled it twice, then smiled and said to Shi Zhijian: "Since you are unwilling to accept Boss Li's kindness, then you must accept my kindness.
Take it!"
After a pause, he said in a seductive tone: "The food association I am in charge of still has a spot for the vice chairman!"
"I have been the chairman of the Food Association for almost three years. I recently intend to quit. When the time comes, the vice chairman will be my replacement!"
Li Zhaotian looked at Shi Zhijian with a smile, held his cigar between his legs, and blew out a puff of smoke at Shi Zhijian: "Ajian, I am very optimistic about you! You are young and promising, and you have such a character! As long as I give you a little push from behind,
You are the youngest association president in Hong Kong!"
"Of course, if you are good enough, you can become a JP (Justice of the Peace) like me and become a member of the Legislative Council when you become the chairman!"
Bang the ground.
Everyone at the scene felt like their ears were exploding!
JP?
Legislative Council Member?!
How is that possible?!
…
It is said that there are three major associations in the Hong Kong business community, namely the Hong Kong Real Estate Association, the Hong Kong Jockey Club, and the Hong Kong Food Association.
Although the Food Association is the least conspicuous among the three major associations, it has the strongest monopoly.
The ultimate goal of real estate and horse racing is to make money.
Food types such as grains, oils, rice and noodles are related to people's livelihood, so food associations can not only make money, but also engage in politics.
Li Zhaotian relied on his status as the chairman of the association to be crowned a "Justice of the Peace" by Gui Lao, and he also served as a "legislator" in the Legislative Yuan.
This member of the Legislative Council and the district councilor of Zuo George are in the same place.
District councilors only show their prestige in one district, but George Zuo can only show his prestige in Tsuen Wan.
However, the members of the Legislative Council can wield such authority in the Legislative Council that even many ghosts have no choice but to fawn over them.
The bait thrown by Li Zhaotian is not a big deal.
As long as Shi Zhijian bites him greedily, Li Zhaotian can control him and do whatever he wants in the future.
As for joining the development team in Tsuen Wan, is it easy?
Li Jiacheng felt jealous as he listened.
Although he has a lot of money now, his status has not been promoted much, especially he has not held many important government positions, and he has no honor at all.
Li Jiacheng was extremely envious of Li Zhaotian's status as "Justice of the Peace" and "Legislator".
His requirements are not high, just a "justice of the peace".
In his previous life, Li Ka-shing's beautiful wish was not realized until 1981, when he was appointed by the British Hong Kong government as a new generation of "Justice of the Peace".
But now, Li Zhaotian actually recommended Shi Zhijian to be the vice chairman of the Food Association, and promised to help him win the chairmanship when the time comes.
Doesn’t that mean that this kid might be able to advance to the top position faster than me?!
Li Jiacheng couldn't help but think about the scene after Shi Zhijian took office. He had to nod and bow down and call him "Congressman Shi" and "JP Shi".
Li Jiacheng shook his head violently, he couldn't imagine it!
I can't imagine how I would look like when I was groveling in front of this kid!
Everyone around was also shocked by Li Zhaotian's conditions.
In particular, Zuo George opened his eyes wide and looked at Shi Zhijian with envy. What a great opportunity, he would probably have agreed, even knelt down and hugged Li Zhaotian's legs and called him his father.
At this moment, apart from George Zuo, the ones with the most nervous and excited expressions were Shi Taigong's family.
Mr. Shi Taigong spent his whole life teaching and educating people in Tsuen Wan, but in the end he only got the title of "high moral and respectable". His two sons are just small businessmen. If the Shi family can really produce a JP and a member of the Legislative Council, it will definitely be a high-profile event.
Smoke rises from ancestral graves!
"Second child, third child, did I hear correctly? Can A Jian really be a JP and a member of the Legislative Council?" Shi Taigong was so excited that he could hardly speak.
Shi Dagui and Shi Darong also looked shocked, and they were almost numb from the shock of Li Zhaotian's words.
"It seems so! Now it's up to Ajian whether he agrees or not."
"How could he not agree? Such a good thing!"
Not only Shi Taigong thought so, but others also thought so.
Especially Li Zhaotian, who was chewing a big cigar, with a proud posture and a playful look in his eyes. He felt that Shi Zhijian would not reject him this time unless he was a fool.
"Sorry, I refuse!" Shi Zhijian said.
"Cho, did I hear you correctly?" Li Zhaotian almost dropped the big cigar he was biting.
Others around him also looked shocked, looking at Shi Zhijian in disbelief.
Taigong Shi swayed even more and almost died on the spot.
No one expected that Shi Zhijian would really refuse, and refuse so confidently.
Just when everyone was waiting to hear the reason for Shi Zhijian's refusal, Shi Zhijian suddenly said: "Chairman Li, Boss Li, I wonder if you are interested in climbing the mountain with me?"
"Uh, mountain climbing? What do you mean?"
Shi Zhijian pointed to Tai Mo Shan not far away and said: "We will be at the top of the mountain and have a panoramic view of the mountains! Aren't you two curious about what kind of scenery there is on this mountain?"
Li Zhaotian and Li Jiacheng looked at each other and knew that Shi Zhijian had other intentions, so they immediately nodded and said: "Okay!"
