Harp Restaurant is a very unique Western restaurant in Hong Kong.
Unlike many Western restaurants in Hong Kong that take the high-end and elegant route, Harp Restaurant is more lively. Not only is there a karaoke machine, a dart board, and oak wine barrels inside the restaurant, the whole environment has a western American feel.
Du Yongxiao waited at the seat near the window for ten minutes before he saw Liu Jianxiong arriving late.
Compared with the previous life, the current Da Liu in front of him did not have the aura of a super tycoon, nor was he surrounded by people shouting at him, let alone someone with a towel to help him wipe his hands and disinfect them.
Twenty-two-year-old Liu Jianxiong is tall. Although he is not very handsome, he has a unique charm of a man, and he has an enchanting confidence in his movements.
When Liu Jianxiong entered the restaurant, his eyes first lingered on the blond and blue-eyed waitress, and then he withdrew his eyes and fell on Du Yongxiao.
Liu Jianxiong was surprised, as if he didn't expect Du Yongxiao to be so young.
Skeptical, Liu Jianxiong stepped forward and asked, "Is this Du Yongxiao, Mr. Du?"
Du Yongxiao stood up: "Yes, I am Du Yongxiao. Are you - Liu Jianxiong?"
The two shook hands and sat down.
Liu Jianxiong looked at Du Yongxiao again and said in a contemptuous tone: "Mr. Du is very young. I thought you were at least forty years old."
"Liu Sheng, you are also very young. I heard that you just came back from Canada?"
"I died in the exam!" Liu Jianxiong showed off his English, "I studied economic management at the University of Waterloo over there. Do you know about the University of Waterloo?"
"Sorry, I've only heard of Cambridge in the UK and Harvard in the US."
"It's a pity that the University of Waterloo is also very powerful - what degree does Du Sheng have?" ap.
"Me? Huangren Academy."
As the "first official school" in Hong Kong, Queen's College has always been a "divine school" in the eyes of Hong Kong people, and it is an extremely lofty palace in the hearts of countless students. Every year, it attracts more than a thousand people to apply for limited places.
As one of the earliest government secondary schools in Hong Kong, Queen's College (formerly known as Central College) has produced countless outstanding talents since its founding in 1862, including Sun Yat-sen who studied here!
For example, gambling tycoon Ho Hung-sun, a legendary figure in Hong Kong and Macao and a descendant of one of the four major families of the "Ho Tung Family", also studied at this college when he was young. After graduation, he donated heavily to his alma mater to set up special scholarships many times.
In addition, Fok Yingdong, the boss of Hong Kong’s tycoons, is also an alumnus of Queen’s College.
It can be said that in Hong Kong, Queen's College is definitely well-known. Unfortunately, in Liu Jianxiong's view, Du Yongxiao's academic level is still too low.
"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Du graduated from Queen's College. It's okay. Heroes don't ask where they come from! It's not bad to be able to study in such a school." Liu Jianxiong said, but his eyes showed a trace of disdain. Compared with someone like him who studied abroad, It seems that Du Yongxiao's academic qualifications are obviously not qualified.
Du Yongxiao smiled and ignored Liu Jianxiong's contempt, but waved the waitress over.
Before Du Yongxiao could speak, Liu Jianxiong deliberately showed off and said in Canadian English: "Excuse me, let's order two cups of coffee, mine wants a latte, and as for my friend——"
Liu Jianxiong turned around and asked Du Yongxiao: "Saorui, I wonder what kind of coffee Du Sheng likes to drink?"
Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "You order a latte, I'll order a cappuccino, less sugar, more milk!" He also used English, and it was still a very authentic British emphasis.
"God, your English is so good!" the waitress praised.
"Just average!" Du Yongxiao nodded with a smile and looked at Liu Jianxiong: "Compared with Mr. Liu's Canadian English, it's a little better."
Liu Jianxiong's face turned red and he coughed: "Okay, I'm very busy. Mr. Du, please just tell me. What's going on during this meeting?"
The waitress went to prepare coffee, and Du Yongxiao said: "Simple, our Hengchuang Real Estate is in the development stage and is very short of people, especially elite talents like you, Liu Sheng. Du is very thirsty for knowledge——"
Liu Jianxiong smiled, "Last time I applied for a job just for fun. You should have listened to my cousin. I came back from Canada to inherit the family business!"
"Can you give me an expensive electric fan?"
"Not bad!" Liu Jianxiong looked proud and pointed outside through the window glass: "Did you see that the Liu's Electric Fan Shop with the golden signature is our industry!"
Du Yongxiao looked in the direction pointed by Liu Jianxiong. Sure enough, there was an electrical appliance store open for business directly opposite the Harp Restaurant. It looked like the business was very good.
"Your cousin Bai Yingjun is quite good at choosing places," Du Yongxiao said with a smile, "I'm afraid I don't know that you will inherit the family business in the future——"
"So I'm sorry, I refuse your kindness!" Liu Jianxiong said bluntly.
Du Yongxiao nodded, and when the coffee was served, Du Yongxiao made an invitation gesture, drank the coffee, and talked slowly.
"What is Mr. Liu's opinion on Hong Kong real estate?"
"Hong Kong's real estate has a bright future. Hong Kong has less land and more people. Now there are still 300,000 people pouring in from Southeast Asia and the mainland every year. In the future, housing problems will be the primary issue of Hong Kong people's livelihood." Liu Jianxiong analyzed.
"To be honest, Du Sheng, Hengchuang Company is too small and you are too young, so it has no appeal to me. Even if I was interested in real estate, I would choose a big company."
"In addition, as for me, I don't like to be controlled by others. My plan is to help my own electrical appliances company develop and go public first, and then invest the money raised from the listing into real estate. To put it bluntly, I, Liu Jianxiong, will be my own boss. Don’t work for people!”
Liu Jianxiong was ambitious, and when he told Du Yongxiao about his ambitions, he did not hide his contempt for Hengchuang and his disdain for Du Yongxiao.
Du Yongxiao did not interrupt Liu Jianxiong's self-pleasure. It was not until Liu Jianxiong finished speaking that Du Yongxiao picked up the coffee and took a sip. He raised his eyes and looked at Liu Jianxiong and said, "Does this mean that all you own is your own electrical appliance store?"
"Yes! I majored in economics and management. The electrical appliance store is the foundation for my career development. It is also the capital for my development and listing. It is also the fast track for me to move to real estate in the future! Sorry, maybe I am bragging a little, but the family business Just such a few benefits, less detours than many people, owning a good company, can save me 30 years of struggle compared to my peers!" Liu Jianxiong looked proud.
"Then now you should also understand the reason why I rejected you! Thank you for the coffee, Du Sheng, see you again when we are destined!" Liu Jianxiong said and stood up.
Du Yongxiao smiled: "Many things in the world are unreliable! Will the family business help you take off? Maybe it will become a burden to you!"
"Ha, are you jealous?" Liu Jianxiong looked disdainful, "How could my family business become a burden? You are simply——"
Before Liu Jianxiong finished speaking, he heard shouting outside: "No, the electrical appliance store is on fire!"
