"Huo Sheng."
"Shao Sheng."
Victoria Peak.
In a villa decorated with antique carvings.
The villa has cornices, white walls and black tiles, taking the beauty of Hui-style architecture as the main theme and matching the landscape of Su-style gardens.
It is condescending, has small bridges and flowing water, is elegant and elegant, and is not lacking in sophistication.
With a pavilion and fish pond, you can stand on the top of the harbor and enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbor.
Full of Chinese style.
This was the former Lei Mansion Villa, but after several years of design and renovation, it became a Chinese-style Zhuang Family Villa.
It has been designed by many domestic masters and is now the most elegant mansion in Hong Kong. It is the first Chinese-style mansion to be built. It is low-key but attracts attention in top circles.
At first, Zhuang Shikai planned to renovate the Lei Mansion villa and use it as a vacation home and for gatherings of senior police officers.
However, since he crossed the line with the motherland and became a patriotic businessman, he thought carefully that the golf club in the New Territories was enough for internal use of the police force, so he used this villa as a gathering place for patriotic businessmen.
We are all patriotic businessmen. We have both money and character, so we should enjoy some good things.
…
"Zhuang Sheng."
"You made this villa look more like a garden."
“I feel like I’m walking into the Humble Administrator’s Garden.”
Mr. Huo, Mr. Shao and others walked into the villa door wearing crisp suits with pocket squares stuffed on their chests and gentle expressions.
After looking around for a while, they started to praise him.
"Ha ha."
"Everyone please."
"Let's go to the pavilion and chat."
Zhuang Shikai smiled implicitly, pointed forward, and walked forward with several big bosses.
Brother Luo gave the villa to him back then.
It can also be regarded as a kind of inheritance.
Of course he couldn't waste it.
Although the villa is very valuable, it is impossible to sell it.
He is not short of money, how could he sell such a thing? And the higher the value of the property, the harder it is to sell it. There is almost no shortage of villas for people in Hong Kong who can afford to buy villas on the top of the mountain.
So instead of selling it, he poured money into it! And it smashes a lot!
In addition, due to design, construction period and other reasons, Zhuang's Villa is open to the public for the first time today.
After Zhuang Shikai finished handling the matters at the dock, he drove to the top of the mountain to prepare.
At this time, the group walked along the nine-curved corridor to the pavilion at the end.
"Please." Zhuang Shikai said with his hands tied.
The four of them nodded slightly and sat on the floor beside several square tables.
Next to the square table made of mahogany, there are several linen cushions.
On the square table is a plate of colorful pastries printed with ancient characters. A simple and elegant teapot made of purple sand. A box of Mingqian Longjing.
Although each portion of the pastry is not large, there are Cantonese style, Chaozhou style, Fujian style, and Su style, perfectly satisfying the taste preferences of guests.
In addition, in a pavilion ten meters away.
A girl wearing a plain robe sat upright with a guzheng in front of her, her fingers resting on the strings.
Two female waitresses wearing blue and white porcelain cheongsam stood beside the pavilion.
As the guests and hosts sat down one after another, the waitress immediately came forward to pour tea. There was also a melodious sound of the piano from the distant pavilion, and the piano musicians began to serve the piano.
Zhuang Shikai sat on the main seat, tapping his fingers on the coffee table, making a soft clicking sound.
On his left are the waterside pavilions and on his right is the night view of Victoria Harbor.
You can both watch the scenery and be in the scenery.
After Mr. Huo sat down and experienced it, he couldn't help but praise softly: "Zhuang Sheng."
“So elegant!”
Mr. Shao picked up a piece of Su-style pastry, took a bite, and said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I've had such an authentic snack."
Mr. Shao's ancestral home is in Zhejiang. Elders, relatives and friends in his family often buy Su-style pastries.
This also makes Mr. Shao somewhat partial to the Soviet style.
However, Hong Kong Island is mostly Cantonese-style and there are few shops selling Soviet-style food.
When Mr. Shao took a bite, he immediately felt a long-lost taste, and his soul seemed to be penetrated.
Zhuang Shikai knew the details of these people very clearly, and naturally arranged them carefully. At this time, his expression was calm, and he smiled as expected: "Shao Sheng, I specially asked a master chef to make it. Come and taste it if you have the opportunity."
"Definitely, definitely." Mr. Shao nodded frequently, holding half a piece of pastry in his hand.
After looking around for a while, the chartered boat king picked up his teacup and said, "Director Zhuang."
"Make a price!"
"I bought this villa!"
This sentence is undoubtedly a compliment to the master.
Zhuang Shikai smiled and replied generously: "Priceless!"
"As long as Mr. Bao wants it! Give it to me with both hands!"
"It's over."
"A gentleman doesn't take what others like! You can offer 100 million or 1 billion, but it really kills me to say it's priceless." The chartering king shook his head with emotion, while the big bosses next to him burst into laughter.
In fact, everyone liked Sir Zhuang's style of being in another hospital, and they complimented him deliberately in a different way.
As long as the owner is happy and the atmosphere is pleasant.
Who would really want to buy a house?
No one would sell this kind of house easily!
And cook tea, play the piano, chat, and taste snacks.
This is what Zhuang Shikai and Cai Yuanqi call eating midnight snacks.
There is no way, things are different for the boss. Mr. Huo and Mr. Shao will not drive a sports car or plane with him, and take a large group of people to Mong Kok to eat barbecue and fish eggs.
With whomever you communicate with, you must do things that are consistent with your identity.
Zhuang Shikai could neither neglect the other party nor let the other party look down on him.
Otherwise, others would think that he is just a police officer who can use knives and guns to kill.
Then it's not beautiful.
Not only will there be much less business cooperation in the future, but many opportunities will also be missed. You will not be able to be true friends with the big guys and can only maintain superficial relationships.
After all, knowing how to "play" is also an important ability for the upper class.
As long as people can "play" together, they are true friends.
Obviously, Zhuang Shikai's gameplay is in line with his own aesthetics and is also liked by several big bosses. During the conversation, Zhuang Shikai has been regarded as a "playmate". Rather than just a partner.
At this time, Mr. Song raised his wine glass and said: "Come, let's congratulate Mr. Zhuang on becoming a director of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and drink a cup of tea together."
"Drink tea."
"Drink tea."
Mr. Huo, Mr. Shao and others raised their teacups.
"Thank you."
Zhuang Shikai smiled slightly, raised the glasses together, picked up the teacup with three fingers, and put the tea into his mouth.
Today, there is a gathering of five people from the top circles. It’s not like someone is hungry and just makes a phone call and asks them to come out for a late-night snack.
There is a reason... This reason is that Zhuang Shikai became a director of the "Chinese General Chamber of Commerce" in Hong Kong Island on the recommendation of four people.
"Hong Kong Island Chinese Chamber of Commerce" is the most influential "Chinese nation" chamber of commerce in the world.
Founded in 1900 on Hong Kong Island, it has spanned dynasties and centuries of change. It has more than 8,000 members covering various industries such as retail, manufacturing, technology, real estate, finance, media, and transportation.
Each member has considerable wealth, great influence, and voting rights in various parliaments.
In Hong Kong Island, only those who join the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce can be called "big bosses".
Zhuang Shikai had long joined the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce as the "Shi Hing Group", and then established a connection with the mainland. After being recommended by Mr. Fok and others, he became one of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce.
The current president of the Chamber of Commerce is Mr. Shao, and the most powerful people are Mr. Huo, Charter King and other "patriotic businessmen."
After all, the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce supports the motherland! This is a century-old tradition outside!
There is always a group of people who never forget their roots.
Mr. Song, who is here, is a big businessman in the manufacturing industry. Three generations of his family have made great contributions to the motherland.
Zhuang Shikai heard that Mr. Song had a son named Song Shichang, who had begun to take over the family business and was managing it very well, so he roughly knew the identity of the other party.
At this time, Mr. Song seemed to have thought of something. He put down the tea cup and asked aloud: "Zhuang Sheng."
"Your landowners will."
"It seems like there have been a lot of purchases in Japanese stocks recently?"
Zhuang Shikai nodded: "Japan's post-war reconstruction momentum is very good."
"They gave up their sovereign interests and returned to economic construction."
"Japanese stocks will take off in the next few years."
What Zhuang Shikai means is that he can make a lot of money in the Japanese stock market.
And this is indeed a historical event, and it has entered a period of rise. However, the Plaza Accord has not yet been signed, and the bubble has not completely exploded.
However, the landlord association has already begun to make plans and will be able to make a lot of money by then.
"Zhuang Sheng is so sure."
"I have to buy things early." Mr. Song said with a smile.
Mr. Huo, Mr. Shao, and the chartered boat king all laughed and said, "Then we should buy some too."
The Landowners' Association under Zhuang Shikai is already a big brother in the financial world. As top businessmen, they will not question the strength of the Landowners' Association.
What's more, with Zhuang Shikai speaking so confidently, they were even more confident.
Coupled with the trading and judgment of his subordinates, after a set of operations, a large amount of money will be recorded in the account.
The speed at which rich people make money.
It's so simple.
Ways to make money?
It’s always that simple!
They really are! real! It’s really hard to spend it faster than you make it!
And after drinking two cups of tea and chatting for a few words, a business opportunity worth billions or billions will be right in front of you.
"OK."
"I'll let you know if there's any news." Zhuang Shikai drank tea lightly and nodded slightly.
"Thank you." Mr. Huo and others raised their glasses to express their thanks.
It is said that Mr. Li also bought stocks in Japan. He probably judged the movement and invested a random amount of money with the intention of making a short-term profit.
Zhuang Shikai thought that if there was a chance, he could trick Mr. Li into a piece of meat in the Japanese stock market.
You should know that although Mr. Li is also a member of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, he does not belong to the circle of "patriotic businessmen" and seems to be slightly dissatisfied with Zhuang Shikai as a director.
However, the businessmen all maintained great restraint, and Zhuang Shikai would not take the initiative to cause trouble for him. But if I had the opportunity to eat a piece of him, I could teach him a little lesson.
…
"Zhuang Sheng."
"As far as I know, the Hong Kong Island Police Force works hard in handling cases and suffers a lot of casualties every year."
"I happened to be planning to build a private hospital last year. It will be completed and delivered by the end of this month. The doctors and staff are all set up."
"I'm going to give it to you for free, just think of it as doing something for the police force."
Mr. Shao sat next to him and preached.
He took advantage of the business opportunity and reciprocated the favor.
Donating it directly to the police force would be suspected of tampering with the police force. Instead, it would be better to give it to Zhuang Shikai in person.
Mr. Shao made a good grasp of it.
Sending things has always been Mr. Shao’s style.
"Thank you, Mr. Shao." Zhuang Shikai thought for a moment and did not refuse. He agreed with a smile.
Mr. Huo smiled and said: "Since it is given to Zhuangsheng, it cannot be called Shaw Hospital."
"Zhuang Sheng."
"You pick a name."
Zhuang Shikai's mind changed and he suddenly said: "Let's call it Mingxin Hospital."
