In the villa where Li Jiacheng lives, after the storm last night, there were red and fallen leaves.
Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper, was ordering his servants to clean up the mess in the garden.
Madam Zhuang Yueming is holding her youngest son Ah Kai in her arms and is treating Dr. Gui Lao.
Ah Kai has been coughing since last night. Tom, the ghost doctor, checked with a stethoscope and said it was due to wind chill and cold. He then prescribed aspirin and other Western medicines for the child and told him to take it three times a day after meals.
The eldest son, Ah Ju, has a toy gun hanging around his neck and is showing off his skills. Today is a day off. He doesn't have to go to school, let alone study the damn Ingres. It's rare for him to have time to play.
"Akai, what's wrong with you? Can you play with me?" Aju asked Zhuang Yueming, and then looked at his younger brother in his mother's arms.
Ah Kai blinked his eyes, coughed at him a few times, and said, "I'm sick. The doctor asked me to take medicine. I can't play with you."
Zhuang Yueming felt upset, so he said to Ah Ju: "Stop playing around and go to your room to study!"
Aju pouted: "No, today is a day off, I finally have time to play!"
"Then play less! Don't yell. Your father and his friends are talking in the study. Don't disturb them!"
"I know, in the worst case, I'll go play outside!"
…
In the study room.
"Brother Zheng, we have known each other for a long time. We used to be busy with our careers and rarely sit together to drink tea and chat!" Li Jiacheng picked up a purple sand teapot engraved with "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" placed on the Kung Fu tea table made of rosewood.
"" action, pouring the tea in the teapot into the purple clay teacup in turn, and finally using the "Han Xin Order" move, after throwing the last few drops of tea in the teapot into the teacup without any waste, he said: "Taste it.
Try it."
Hong Kong's "Steel King" Zheng Zhizhong picked up the tea cup and admired the tea soup, smelled the aroma of the tea, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, to be honest, you are not very good at making tea! Such good tea, but you are also
It’s ruined!”
Li Jiacheng smiled bitterly and said: "I have worked very hard to learn it. Those moves of Guan Gong patrolling the city and Han Xin's command of troops just now are very beautiful!"
"Good technique does not mean good cooking! The most important thing about this tea is the quantity and heat, not whether the technique is good or not!" Zheng Zhizhong put down the teacup in his hand and teased.
"No way! Maybe this is my weakness. I can learn everything quickly, but I can't learn how to make tea! I can only learn the surface, but not the inner meaning!"
Zheng Zhizhong knew that what he said was a bit serious, so he laughed and said, "I'm joking with you! Don't take it seriously!"
Li Jiacheng and Zheng Zhizhong have a close relationship. When Li Jiacheng was in the hardware business and opened a hardware factory, he relied on Zheng Zhizhong to provide steel raw materials.
In turn, Zheng Zhizhong's steelmaking factory relied on supplying goods to Li Jiacheng Hardware Factory to survive numerous difficulties.
"I know you are joking, but this tea set is a top-quality tea set that I bought at a high price. You can check it out!" Li Jiacheng raised the teacup in his hand somewhat showily.
Zheng Zhizhong took a closer look and exclaimed: "Good craftsmanship! Could it be Master Wang Yinchun's exquisite purple sand?"
Wang Yinchun is a famous contemporary master of purple clay teapots. His teapot making skills are exquisite, his works are highly sought after, and their collection value is very high. So much so that people call the purple clay teapots made by Wang Yinchun "Yinchun teapots".
They are all engraved with the words "Yinchun".
"Sharp eyes! You can also see this!"
"Of course you can see it. The word 'Yinchun' above is so eye-catching! Such a treasure, but I don't know how much it costs?"
"People are worth a thousand pieces of gold, but I am worth a pot of ten thousand taels!"
"Wow, doesn't that mean that just such a small teacup costs thousands of Hong Kong dollars?" Zheng Zhizhong played with the teacup in his hand in surprise, couldn't help but take a sip, and praised: "Although your tea-making skills are terrible, you are impressed by this precious tea set. I’ve made up for it! Now let’s taste the tea again, and it’s so good!”
Li Jiacheng smiled and said nothing, and sipped the tea lightly.
Zheng Zhizhong continued: "To be honest, you and Li Xuexuan and others have swallowed so much steel this time, but they are going to be prosperous - no wonder you are willing to entertain me with such a good tea set! This is a typical match between status and taste! "
Li Jiacheng's eyes showed a hint of pride, "I was scared at first! After all, it's worth 600 million, and I've already wiped out all the cash flow! Fortunately, it's stable now. With Li Zhaoji and others joining in, I have greater control over steel. At least it can influence the market price!”
Zheng Zhizhong nodded: "That's right! Now the storage of our steel plant has been sold out, and the steel plant at Pang Dingyuan has no stock! The whole of Hong Kong can only obey our steel alliance!"
When they thought that Li Xuexuan would raise the price of steel again, from HK$500 per ton to HK$600 per ton, both Zheng Zhizhong and Li Jiacheng were a little excited.
"Hey! Although we may make a lot of money here, many small businesses in Hong Kong will go bankrupt!" Li Jiacheng couldn't help but sigh, "To be honest, my conscience is a little bit bad!"
Zheng Zhizhong nodded, "I feel the same! This time we may have gone too far! After all, steel is for use, not for hoarding! Will our Steel Alliance suffer divine punishment if we raise prices so unscrupulously?"
There was a trace of worry on Li Jiacheng's face, and he drank all the tea in the cup. He closed his eyes and slowly tasted the taste. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "The matter has come to this, and we can't look back! Since I have used If you buy this precious tea set, you will never use the old street stall products again!”
Hearing this, Zheng Zhizhong certainly understood what Li Jiacheng meant. He also put the tea into his mouth and nodded slightly: "It is easy to be luxurious, but difficult to be frugal! If you make more money, of course you have to reward yourself!"
Li Jiacheng asked: "What about you? Are you looking for peace of mind, or more money?"
Zheng Zhizhong looked at Li Jiacheng, twitched the corners of his mouth with a wry smile, and put the tea cup back in his hand: "Do I still have a choice?"
"I have no choice!" Li Jiacheng's eyes were blazing, "Now I can only wish you good fortune!"
Zheng Zhizhong's expression was stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter: "That's right! Congratulations on getting rich! I wish you and I can achieve great success!"
At this moment, the two of them have completely let go of all their psychological burdens. As businessmen, it is natural to make money, so why worry about losing money? Could it be that if you do something wrong, you will really be punished by God?!
…
Just when Li Jiacheng and Zheng Zhizhong were having tea instead of wine and having fun over wine, there was a sudden bang and Zhuang Jiajun barged in from outside!
Early this morning, Li Jiacheng ordered his brother-in-law Zhuang Jiajun to go outside to inquire about the news and see how the market would react when Li Xuexuan raised the price of steel to 600 Hong Kong dollars per ton!
It seems that the results have come out.
Li Jiacheng did not see the anxiety and panic in Zhuang Jiajun's expression, nor did he criticize him for not knocking on the door when he came in. Instead, he greeted him: "Jiajun, are you tired? Come and have a sip of tea!"
Zhuang Jiajun seemed to be really tired. He walked over and picked up the teapot and drank it hard!
Only then did Li Jiacheng realize that something was wrong and frowned: "Jiajun, what happened?"
Zhuang Jiajun wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and suddenly cried. He said, "Brother-in-law! We are miserable!"
"What's going on?"
"That Shi Zhijian brought back millions of tons of steel!"
"Ah?" Li Jiacheng's precious teacup worth thousands fell to the ground with a clang and broke into two halves!
Zheng Zhizhong, who was next to him, also stared blankly at Zhuang Jiajun, with the corner of his mouth twitching and saying: "Doesn't that mean that our Steel Alliance is going to be doomed now?!"
Li Jiacheng stood up suddenly, "I want to find Li Xuexuan! I want to ask clearly!"
Before he could take a step, his body swayed suddenly, making him feel dizzy and shaky!
…
Sun Hung Kai Properties Company.
The boss Li Zhaoji is a typical workaholic. It rained so heavily last night, but it couldn't stop him from going to the construction site to inspect the business, and then rushed to the Hilton Hotel to attend a cocktail party.
The content of the reception was about the future development trend of Hong Kong real estate. As a leader in Hong Kong's real estate industry, Li Zhaoji took the stage to give a speech on behalf of Chinese real estate developers.
In his speech, Li Zhaoji first looked back on history, then looked forward to the future, and finally proposed that Chinese and British capital could work together to advance and retreat together and make great contributions to the prosperous development of Hong Kong real estate.
In short, in the past, Chinese-owned real estate was subject to various policies of the British Hong Kong government. Now the situation is different from the past. Chinese-owned real estate is getting stronger and stronger, while British-owned real estate is slowly shrinking. Even if the Chinese and Hong Kong British governments continue to
No matter how snobbish you are, no matter how much you look down on Chinese businessmen, you still have to spit out some fat and leave it to the Chinese businessman company to handle.
It can be said that on the stormy night last night, Li Zhaoji's speech at the Hilton Conference excited countless real estate developers. Everyone predicted that as the British Hong Kong government vigorously promotes education reform, there will be big cakes and fatties in the future in terms of education infrastructure.
, let’s see who can take the lead when the time comes.
Li Zhaoji remembers clearly that at that time he looked at those people with crazy expressions and crazy eyes, and his heart was full of contempt!
For Li Zhaoji, what is important in the real estate industry is strength. Without strength, everything is empty talk! And Sun Hung Kai happens to be one of the strongest real estate companies in Hong Kong!
If Fok's Real Estate could influence Hong Kong in the past, then with the British Hong Kong government's suppression of Fok, Sun Hung Kai took advantage of the situation to rise and replace it!
Everything is foreseeable in the future, that is, Sun Hung Kai will become the overlord of Hong Kong's real estate industry, with unlimited glory!
Of course, all this is based on the stable development of Sun Hung Kai and the absence of thunderstorms and glitches.
…
"Wow, these ghost guys really know how to play! This is called indoor golf!" Guo Desheng chewed his cigar and held the club in his hand, ready to swing.
The third child, Feng Jingqi, was chewing a cigar and said: "Be careful, don't break your waist!"
"Bah, bah, bah! Crow's mouth, I don't know how sharp my waist is! Even if yours is broken, mine is still fine!"
Li Zhaoji watched the two good brothers fight. He couldn't help but take a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet, poured a glass with ice cubes, and said, "Are you two okay all day long? Why do you always come to my place?"
"Is it possible to be lazy?" Guo Desheng hit the golf ball and actually hit the hole!
"Puta's mother, hit!" Guo Desheng chewed a thick cigar with a proud look on his face.
Feng Jingqi pouted: "A blind cat meets a dead mouse!"
"What do you mean a blind cat meets a dead mouse? Come and give it a try?"
"Just give it a try!" Feng Jingqi didn't want to let him go. He took the golf club and made a few gestures with the placed balls.
Li Zhaoji walked up to the two of them, putting one hand in his pocket and holding whiskey in the other: "I'm afraid that Shi Zhijian is going to be miserable! Even if Li Xuexuan raises the price this time, he won't sell steel to him! Since then,
The boy’s Wharf construction site will be completely shut down!”
"It would be best for him to stop work!" Guo Desheng said, "Everyone knows that he flatters the Hong Kong Governor Dai Ganoderma and makes him feel comfortable! If the Wharf construction site is successfully completed this time, he will have a good reputation in the real estate industry.
Let's compete for strength. When the time comes when the Guilao Hong Kong governor hands over those education construction projects to him, it will be a matter of course! Now, as long as he throws himself into the street, he will be looked down upon! Then it will be Guilao Port.
If the governor wants to help him, he must also consider the overall situation and watch the reactions of those around him!"
Snap!
Feng Jingqi hit the golf ball. The ball rolled a certain distance but did not enter the hole.
"Go to the street!" Feng Jingqi cursed fiercely, and turned to Li Zhaoji and said: "The girl named Li is not a good thing, we have to be careful about her!"
"The third child is right, that girl is arrogant and arrogant! This time when the batch of steel is sold, we will draw a clear line with her after we get the money!" Guo Desheng rarely stood on the same front as the third child Feng Jingqi.
Li Zhaoji took a sip of whiskey. The sharp sour taste of the cold whiskey mixed with the foreign wine made him a little uncomfortable.
But there is no way. Now when doing business, we have to deal with those ghost guys. The ghost guys like whiskey and brandy, so Chinese businessmen like them have to replace Wujiapi, Moutai, and Wuliangye with this sour foreign wine.
Hong Kong does not suffer cultural invasion every year or two, and many people have long been used to it.
"I have my own sense of responsibility for this!" Li Zhaoji said, "The most important thing now is to take advantage of the increase in steel prices to make a huge profit! If we invest 200 million, we will have to make tens of millions!"
"Haha, yes! The price increase of one ton of steel is 100 yuan, and 1.2 million tons is more than 100 million! If we divide it among Sun Hung Kai, Ritchie's, and Yangtze River, we will have at least more than 30 million!" Guo Desheng laughed!
road.
Feng Jingqi curled her lips and sang the opposite tune: "I'm just afraid that there will be unforeseen circumstances and good things will be hard to come by!"
"Hey, do you think you're unhappy with me, or are you talking like a crow? What are you talking about? Do you know that good things don't work and bad things work?"
Just when Guo Desheng was yelling and entangled with Feng Jingqi, there was a knock on the office door, and it was the secretary who reported the news!
"It's bad, three bosses! Shi Zhijian has shipped back millions of tons of steel from South Korea..."
"What?" The cigar Guo Desheng was biting fell to the ground!
Feng Jingqi also dropped the club in his hand to the ground in shock, his eyes widening.
Li Zhaoji felt a lump of air blocking his heart, and his heart was throbbing with pain!
He was covering his chest with his left hand, and the whiskey glass in his right hand could no longer be held, and it fell to the ground with a bang!
