Rebirth of the Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 127: Chapter 126: Getting to know each other
"Richard has just arrived in Xiangjiang, and needs to listen to the ideas of young people."

"If you two have time and are interested, can you chat with me?"

Wen Ning weighed up the identities of Lin Huaile and the two, and invited them to come over for a talk.

Lin Huaile turned his head to look at Xie Lan, and Xie Lan quietly stretched his hand to his lower back, twisted it vigorously, and then replied in English: "Of course, it is our honor to know Mr. Richard." pleasure."

Seeing that the two did not refuse, Wen Ning brought them to Richard and Shen Bi with a smile.

"Two, please allow me to introduce two young talents to you. This is Chairman Lin Huaile of Fengrun Insurance Company."

"And this beautiful young lady is also the director of Fengrun Insurance, Miss Xie Lan."

"This is my husband, Richard, and the other is Mr. Shen Bi, the executive chairman of HSBC."

Hearing the names of the two, Lin Huaile was secretly surprised. He didn't expect to come to the right place tonight.

Not only did he get to know Richard, the chief executive of the Chief Secretary, but he also had an unexpected surprise, being able to meet Shen Bi, the future financial emperor.

Now when Shen Bi's name is mentioned in Xiangjiang, only a few top rich people know his power.

But on the Internet 20 years later, his name can be regarded as thunderous.

When Superman left his post, he bought more than ten kilograms of gold, and asked the best gold casting master to create a model of the HSBC Building for him as a gift.

Sha Dantong will go to the golf course every weekend to play golf with Shen Bi, and he will never stop until he plays holes.

The series of operations that the ship king took ashore were all under the acquiescence and guidance of Shen Bi, before he won the Wharf.

Little Superman even got the support of his real gold and silver, and controlled the Xiangjiang Electric Group in his hands.

These are the properties of Jardine Matheson and Standard Chartered, and HSBC has played a disgraceful role in it.

"Hello, Mr. Richard, I'm Lin Huaile from Fengrun Insurance. Nice to meet you." After speaking, Lin Huaile stretched out his hand.

Li Chade looked at the young man in his twenties in front of him, and he knew all about the well-known rich men in Xiangjiang.

After all, he needs to nod his head to agree to any big or small things in the security department.

Even the police force, he has a way to influence, after all, the budget is approved by him.

There are rich people in Xiangjiang whose surname is Lin, but there is absolutely no one named Lin Huaile.

The upstarts like Richard are most jealous of these guys with unknown origins. If the Guardian pays off to expose the scandal, his future development path will be a failure.

After hesitating for a few minutes, Richard saw that Lin Huaile still had a calm expression, so he slowly stretched out his hand and held it together with him.

"You two, please take a seat."

"Mr. Lin is really young, Mr. Shen Bi, you are a know-it-all in Xiangjiang, you must have heard of Mr. Lin's name."

Richard did not shake hands with Xie Lan, but nodded to her as a greeting, and then looked at Shen Bi who was watching the play.

Among the people present, Shen Bi was the only one who knew the details of Lin Huaile.

It was also by chance that his old friend recommended this high-quality company to him.

Shen Bi was also aware of Richard's concerns, and said truthfully, "Fengrun Insurance is the insurance company with the best performance in Xiangjiang at this stage."

"Advertising investment is large, and customer growth is also very impressive!"

"I believe that in the near future, it will surpass the insurance companies under Jardine Matheson and become the No. in Xiangjiang!".

These words can be regarded as reassuring Richard's heart.

Although the 50 Hong Kong paper is attractive, it is not as important as the future.

Richard knew in his heart that the money came for the rights in his hands.

"Mr. Shen Bi praised it. Now Fengrun Insurance is still in its infancy, but it's just the right time to enter the industry. With luck, the performance is booming."

"Mr. Shen can't boast!"

Hearing Shen Bi's praise, Lin Huaile quickly waved his hands to show his humility.

"I am at Mr. Lin's age, and I am still studying. I also met my wife, the love of my life, at Oxford University."

After listening to Shen Bi's words, Li Chade knew the details of Lin Huaile initially, and immediately became enthusiastic and praised a few words.

"Yeah, Richard played tennis well at that time, and won the championship in the school competition."

"When we were in Australia, we even discussed with Master Ben."

"This master also praised Richard's skills, saying that he is not inferior to professional players and should participate in professional competitions."

"It's a pity that Xiangjiang doesn't have a good course, otherwise, we must play a few rounds well."

"Mr. Lin, can you play tennis?"

Wen Ning recalled the good memories of her acquaintance with Richard at school, and then looked at Lin Huaile, asking if he knew how to play tennis.

tennis?

Lin Huaile shook his head lightly. If it was badminton, he would be able to hit it twice. In tennis, he has opened nine out of ten apertures and knows nothing.

"I'm a complete novice, but Miss Xie Lan is a tennis lover, and she can't miss a game on TV."

"She can fight with you two for a few rounds."

Lin Huaile shook his head with a smile, and then recommended Xie Lan.

"It can only be said to be a fan, but the turf in Xiangjiang has always been unqualified. The Tennis Association has been established for almost 70 years, and it has not even held a public match."

"What a dereliction of duty!"

"I'm currently preparing for a new tennis association. I don't know if Mrs. Wen Ning is interested in joining. After all, it is to contribute to Xiangjiang's sports career."

You have to hit seven inches when you hit a snake. I'm afraid that you don't want anything, and you will act like a Bodhisattva every day.

As long as you know what you like, you can prescribe the right medicine.

Hearing that Wen Ning likes to play tennis, and that there is no good tennis court, Xie Lan immediately reacted, casually mentioned a name, and invited her to end the game.

Wen Ning was a little moved, she and Richard had no children, and Richard would work late every day, and spent most of his time in the mansion on Mount Taiping, only the servants would accompany her to talk a few words.

A dinner like today can only be held once in a month or two.

If it is held more often, the governor and Whitehall will have objections.

"Cough cough!"

"The facilities in Causeway Bay Park are not too bad."

"But the idea of ​​contributing to Xiangjiang's sports career is very good."

"Report to the Planning Bureau, I think they will approve it!"

"Honey, we haven't danced for a long time, can I invite you to dance together?"

Richard interrupted the conversation between the two. His wife was a greedy carp. When she smelled a bit of meat, she couldn't wait to bite into it, completely ignoring the danger behind the bait.

Wen Ning immediately stretched out his hand and placed it in Richard's palm, and the two of them walked to the center of the dance floor sincerely.

When the conductor of the orchestra saw that the officer and his wife had left the stage, he immediately changed the rhythm to make the music more cheerful.

Those who were still dancing immediately stepped aside to make room for the official and his wife.

Lin Huaile sat on the chair, took out his cigarette, and politely gave one to Shen Bi.

Shen Bi shook his head, glanced at Xie Lan, then at Lin Huaile, and said in Chinese with a smile: "Young man, the speed of drawing the stick is too fast, it scared the fish away."

"Richard has been in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more than ten years. Caution and vigilance are engraved in his bones. He will not let his wife be tricked by your little girlfriend."

"However, it is generous to spend 50 yuan on a meal, which is really bold!".

When Lin Huaile heard Shen Bi's fluent Chinese, he knew that one of the rumors on the Internet would disappear.

What Zhuang Mingyue was the translator, and Little Superman helped introduce it, so that the ship king and Shen Bi got on the line, gave support, and then won Wharf.

This Chaoshan dialect is more fluent than myself, so I need a translator!
Taking a puff of cigarettes and spit out the smoke quickly, Lin Huaile did not deny his purpose, but said frankly: "Sometimes, you have to make a high profile, so that the fish in the pond will know you are coming."

"The means may be clumsy, but they work!"

"I think, senior, you should also agree with this stupid method!".

Shen Bi was stunned for a moment, but soon understood the meaning of the young man's words, laughed loudly, took out a cigar, lit it and put it in his mouth.

"The cigars, the gentlemen of London, once assembled and voted the most important cargo of the British Empire to harvest in the colonies."

"Eighty percent of the gentlemen vote for cigars."

"Our Prime Minister of the Iron Curtain cannot do without it for a moment, and even becomes a corner of his image."

“I also love a cigar, especially when it’s dry and moldy, you get a complex flavor profile.”

"I lived on these moldy cigars on the battlefield in North Africa."

"The power of the desert fox makes me often wake up in bed."

"What a terrible experience!".

Shen Bi leaned back in the chair, recalling the bad life in North Africa.

Telling your own experience is the best way to get closer.

Lin Huaile looked the old fox in front of him up and down, and realized that he was an idiot.

The governor changes every three years, and the governor leaves every ten years, but the capital will always be there.

Jardine and HSBC, happy friends, will always be the overlord of Xiangjiang.

Of course, Richard's relationship cannot be let go. The Governor's Mansion has countless properties in Xiangjiang, and a casual bite is enough to make him a billionaire.

Both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be hard.

"The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood are the only things that have brought us today's wealth."

"London should have the most complete aristocratic system in the world. Among the seven crowns, the queen's light always ranks first."

"The rest of the royal family, except for the little devil's emperor, has become history."

"I like Zweig, he wrote it in Things Past."

"The aristocratic society always naively attributes the greatness of the aristocrats to the superiority of the family. They deeply understand that one person can ascend to heaven."

"Those who have not experienced wind and rain, their judgments must be idealized, and they have ridiculous hopes for a cruel world."

"But you are different, you know that to hesitate is to die."

"It's been proven on the battlefield."

"You see what I said, right?"

Lin Huaile called the waiter, took a glass of mineral water from the tray in his hand, took a sip, and washed away the sweetness brought by champagne in his mouth.

"Haha, your words will make many people uncomfortable."

"The nobles live off the ancients, and you can't get rid of them."

"Such sharp teeth and sharp mouth will not lead to good results in the market."

Shen Bi also likes Zweig very much. His sharp writing style tears up the lives of the nobles in front of the common people.

The more we chat, the happier we are.

Shen Bi's affection for the young man in front of him also increased greatly.

"The most important thing in business is to choose the right way and follow the right people."

"Otherwise, even if you move mountains of gold and silver, you won't be able to pay for it."

"HSBC is a big ship. Fengrun Insurance is preparing to be listed on the Far East Exchange, and the time for the meeting has been confirmed."

"I don't know. Is my ticket on the HSBC ship, and there is a bed for the two of us to rest and rely on?"

Going around will not have very good results. Chinese people's reservations will be regarded as hypocrisy abroad.

If you have interests, you can go, if you don't have interests, you can run away, there is no problem.

Lin Huaile had to figure out Shen Bi's attitude, whether HSBC would become his bullet depot.

Otherwise, you have to find a water house to raise money to tide over the current difficulties.

Xie Lan also looked nervously at Shen Bi in front of him, as long as the HSBC executive in front of him was willing to nod and Fengrun Insurance went public, there would be no obstacle at all.

"Young man, according to London rules, business is not discussed at balls."

"Although some cooperation was finalized at the ball, it was also the result of many rounds of negotiations."

"However, Fengrun is indeed a high-quality insurance company."

"The insurance business department of HSBC is just hitting with a hammer, and they can't wake up."

"The board is very unhappy with them."

"Splitting, mergers and acquisitions, and reorganization are already on the table."

"But those who stare at this piece of fat are more powerful than you."

"And the backgrounds of the two of you are really criticized. If you spread it, it will be detrimental to Fengrun."

"Richard is already interested in you. Tomorrow morning, there will be detailed information on the two of you on his desk."

"I think, Richard will also feel scruples."

"I'm curious, what will you do to make him accept you again?"

Shen Bi made it clear that HSBC really intends to enter the insurance industry.

However, the insurance department established by HSBC does not do Chinese business at all, and still focuses on the business that British companies do not have much.

This annoyed Shen Bi, who advocated the development of Chinese businessmen.

Since you are disobedient, find a way to deal with it.

Shen Bi, who had worked so hard in North Africa, quickly made a decision, chatted with several board representatives, and passed the resolution smoothly.

Even the weak insurance business department also takes into account the business of HSBC's freight company.

No matter which insurance company eats it, it will greatly increase its strength.

Shen Bi, who is the food sharer, must weigh it carefully.

"Big cake."

"Eat it in one bite, even if you don't get overwhelmed, it will take time to digest it slowly."

"Mr. Richard has no shortage of friends, those who are rich, powerful, and have knives."

"But I am very ordinary, I only have one heart."

"I always tell my subordinates, don't look at what I say, but look at what I do."

"Business can grow big because we can share enough benefits for everyone. I, Lin Huaile, am not stingy and can bring enough benefits to my friends."

"The mouth can lie, and the hands can move, but only the interests can't."

"You think so? Mr. Shen Bi!"

Lin Huaile drank the mineral water, played with the crystal glass quilt, and talked freely.

Both are lying, but there is truth in the lies.

When you lie, the point is not what you lie, but why you lie.

People who only know how to get angry when they are cheated are no match at all.

You should know how to admire this technique to be considered a real businessman.

Shen Bi was very satisfied with Lin Huaile's answer. The function of the mouth is to lie, and the function of the hands is to defend the interests. Only those who are willing to give benefits are worthy of long-term investment.

Thinking of this, Shen Bi took out a business card holder, his personal business card with his office phone number on it.

Played with it for a while, and handed it to Lin Huaile in front of Richard and his wife who had just returned from dancing.

"Find out what to do and call me."

"I still have a few in stock in my office, waiting for you to appreciate them together."

After Shen Bi finished speaking, she stood up, buttoned up her buttons, said goodbye to Richard and left the ball.

The Taipan of HSBC is also a top figure in London. Richard did not dare to neglect, and led his wife to see him off, and said some thoughtful words by the way.

Lin Huaile threw the business card to Xie Lan, feeling that the 50 he spent at night was worthwhile. Although he only got acquainted with the chief secretary, at least he got to know Shen Bi, and got the office phone number.

"Scared me!"

"I'm afraid that this dead ghost won't let go, now it's all right, our financial problem has been solved!".

Xie Lan carefully put away Shen Bi's business card and put it in her bag.

"Write the check first, and hand it in later."

"There should be no ghosts in the Foundation's office, and it will be handed over to Mrs. Wen Ning in a while."

"We should say goodbye too!"

"Sit any longer, it will be boring."

"You and I have a good impression. We bought it for 50 yuan. Next time, it will definitely not be at this price."

Lin Huaile extinguished the cigarette in his hand, indicating that it was time for the two of them to leave.

Xie Lan nodded, took out the check book prepared in advance, happily wrote down the figure of 50, and signed his own name.

After sending Shen Bi away, Richard and his wife returned to the ball and came back to the side of the two of them.

"Mrs. Wen Ning, it's too late today, we two won't bother you two."

"The ball was so successful. I believe that in the next few years, there will be no more ball than today's."

"Doing good deeds for the citizens of Xiangjiang is what we have always wanted to do, but we have never been able to figure it out. Tonight, under the inspiration of Mrs. Wen Ning, we finally understand the meaning of charity."

"This is my modest effort for the library, please Mrs. Wen Ning, please don't refuse."

Xie Lan made a big deal of hypocrisy, and then put the prepared check into Wen Ning's hands.

"The foundation is still in preparation, so we can only keep everything simple."

"On behalf of the citizens, I would like to thank you two for your kind deeds. Ms. Xie, my charity foundation still lacks a partner who will go forward side by side. I wonder if you would like to become a director of the foundation."

"Let's bring the glory of the Lord to this chaotic land together!"

Wen Ning didn't refuse, just took the check in his hand, and immediately invited Xie Lan to become the honorary director of the foundation.

Xie Lan wished for a good relationship with this female ghost, and immediately agreed.

Seeing that the mission was completed, Lin Huaile took Xie Lan with him, and left without hesitation.

Changmao mopped the floor with a mop in high spirits. His old man also took a day off and was chatting with Zhang Yuntian inside.

Today is a big event for Baguamen, the martial arts hall reopens.

Lin Huaile took out 10,000+ from the company's accounts and bought a three-story tenement building in Tsuen Wan.

After looking for Liwang to renovate, it became the martial arts gym of Baguamen.

Seeing that everything was ready, Dehua drove Changmao all night, picked up the master and Uncle Zhong from the countryside, and prepared to re-light up the signboard of the Baguamen.

The purchased tenement building is not big, but there is a large yard behind it, which is just right for the apprentices to exercise.

As soon as the martial arts gym opened, horse boys signed up one after another. Everyone knew that when they came out to play in the rivers and lakes, skill in their hands was the most important thing.

Usually it's a bastard punch, whoever has the most strength wins.

But the fierce people in their early years all have kung fu foundations, and they are simply not something they can fight against.

It's all right now, Brother Le specially hired a master to teach boxing, and it's not expensive every month, only a few hundred yuan.

In the past, I might not be willing to part with the money.

But it's different now. Since passing through Tsuen Wan, everyone can earn thousands of dollars a month from the land, which is much more luxurious than before.

Crackling!

Crackling!

Two firecrackers hung with rings were lit at the entrance of the martial arts hall.

Zhang Yuntian, dressed in a Tang suit, stood in front of the door, looking at the century-old plaque of the sect, which was once again hung on the lintel.

Raise your eyebrows!

"Master, I didn't frame you, did I!"

"I said Brother Le will definitely reopen the martial arts gym for you, let's see if it comes true now!"

Changmao stood behind Zhang Yuntian and shouted loudly.

Compared to the bustle of the Baguamen Boxing Gym, the top floor of the disco and Tuodi on Yangcun Road are very quiet.

Lin Huaile was looking at the ledger carefully, looking at how much his two streets had earned this month.

When he was making straw sandals, he only needed to manage a dozen or so Changmao brothers, and he had to do the job well.

At that time, there was only one mahjong restaurant, and it was still my own business, as long as it was enough for everyone to eat.

But now, every day when he opens his eyes, there are hundreds of people waiting for him to arrange a start-up meal.

If there are too many people, there will be disputes, and those who come out to be dwarf mules are all violent.

Moreover, there will be occasional conflicts among the brothers below.

People from Tsz Yun Shan and those who came later are somewhat incompatible, even though they are each other's guides.

It turns out that the rest of the brothers in Tsuen Wan are not honest, but their strength is not good enough, and they are low-key and small.

"Brother Le, hundreds of people are working now."

"Shuifang has opened eight or nine mahjong halls in a row, and they are still on the site. The brothers have great opinions."

"Fans who have won consecutive victories have sent numbers this week, and they can roughly match."

"But they have been selling sugar pills in bulk outside the venue. They have warned several times, but it has no effect."

"I have an appointment, but I haven't shown up for a long time, and I don't know what the hell is going on!"

Situ Haonan was in charge of the site business. It took him a week to get the order in the two streets.

Hung Hom is okay, they are all food stalls, just charge a fee when the time comes.

But Tsuen Wan is different. The whole street, bars, nightclubs, restaurants, grocery stores, are all kinds of things. It took him a lot of effort to get it done.
