Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 541 If that incident happens, the Hu family will be on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, Yang Wanyu and the others were discussing amongst themselves and whispering among themselves.

Anyone with eyes can see that they definitely didn't say anything nice.

"See? Hu Jiangshan isn't answering his mother's calls."

"Exactly, he even said he was too busy. What could a young master like Hu Jiangshan be busy with? Busy looking for girls?"

"I think it's just an excuse that Yuan Caihua made up."

"Yeah, I don't believe that a room that's so hard to book can be booked with just one phone call!"

"If you ask me, Wanyun is more capable. The Hu family is simply no good; they don't have the ability."

"Is there even a question? To put it nicely, the Hu family is a second-rate aristocratic family; to put it bluntly, they're a fallen family. What's so great about them?"

Yang Wanyun smiled slightly: "Don't underestimate others. Haven't you heard that the Hu family is gaining momentum?"

The others exchanged smiles and continued chirping.

"Hey, what's the big deal? The Hu family's dream of turning things around is just that—a pipe dream, it's impossible."

"That's right. There are some people praising the Hu family right now, but that's not the case at all. They just talk about it and don't take it seriously."

"The Hu family was already on a downward spiral. Even if things have improved recently, it's just a temporary resurgence, a flash in the pan, and they'll soon revert to their true colors."

Unlike the others, Yang Wanyu always wore a smile, sipped her tea, and ate melon seeds.

Of course, Yang Wanyu was just being modest when she said that; in reality, she didn't care about the Hu family at all.

It seems that the only family that Yang Wanyu can take seriously on Hong Kong Island is the Li family; the other three families are not worth mentioning.

Even if there are any left, they belong to the Huo family.

The Huo family's power is indeed extraordinary, similar in nature to the Hu family, but not on the same level.

The main reason is that the new generation of the Huo family is more capable, while the younger generation of the Hu family is not worth mentioning.

Hu Jiangshan has indeed been making a lot of noise lately, but it's mostly just hype and can't withstand close scrutiny.

As for the Li family, their strength is indeed the greatest in Hong Kong, but upon closer analysis, the area where the Li family can exert influence is limited to the Asia-Pacific region.

Outside this area, the Li family is nothing, far inferior to Yang Wanyu's family background.

For example, although the Li family has many businesses in Britain, they are all at the mercy of others. If the British want the Li family to leave, the Li family has to obey obediently. Even a minute's delay is considered disrespectful to the British.

Yang Wanyu's family is different. As senior executives of the Huasheng Street Fund Company, they have the power of life and death over many promising companies. If you mess with them, you will suffer the consequences, especially those from Hong Kong Island.

However, on the other hand, while Yang Wanyu's husband is indeed a threat to other companies, he really can't do anything to family businesses like the Hu and Huo families for the time being.

The two families' roots and connections are in mainland China, and they don't have much involvement with the United States, which is the most difficult thing to deal with.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the Hu family is very weak, and that young master Hu Jiangshan is nothing to fear.

At this moment, Yuan Caihua's group was also whispering among themselves, but their voices were noticeably softer, and their expressions were slightly more serious, not as excited.

Since Yuan Caihua couldn't get through on the phone, her momentum weakened, and she didn't say much.

Sister Hong comforted her, "Caihua, it's okay. Ashan will definitely call you back when he's done with his work. As for those people... don't worry about what they say."

Yuan Caihua waved her hand: "I don't care what they say. Let them say whatever they want, what's the big deal?"

"That's right, these people just love to talk badly about others behind their backs, their moral standards are really low!"

"This could give them something to talk about."

"Look at Yang Wanyu, she acts all high and mighty. Her family is nothing in Hong Kong. People just give her a little face."

"Sister Caihua, why don't you call again in a bit? Maybe you'll be done with your work and won't have checked your phone."

"That's right, let's try hitting them again. We can't let them continue to be so arrogant."

"Stop making a fuss. Ah Shan is very busy right now. He has a lot of things to do at the company, and the rocket is about to launch. He definitely has a lot of things to deal with."

"That's right, don't care about them. No matter what you do, they'll always have something to say!"

It would be a lie for Yuan Caihua to say she didn't care.

Although she didn't pick up her phone, she would glance at the screen every now and then so that she could see it immediately if Hu Jiangshan called.

Coincidentally, the phone screen actually lit up now.

Caller ID: Ah Shan

Yuan Caihua perked up and said with a smile, "See? Ah Shan is calling now."

Upon hearing this, everyone else looked over at Yuan Caihua.

Hongjie and the others were naturally happy. Hu Jiangshan calling back meant there was hope. Yang Wanyu's group, on the other hand, were in a completely different state, both surprised and somewhat uneasy.

Of course, whether Yuan Caihua can actually book a room at the resort depends on what Hu Jiangshan says.

At this moment, Yuan Caihua had already answered the phone.

"Ah Shan, where did you go just now?... Ah, in a meeting, no wonder, that's good, work comes first."

"Here's the thing, I called to ask if you could actually get the rooms at that resort? Ah Shan, it should be fine, right?"

When Yuan Caihua asked this question, everyone else listened intently, their attention focused, not daring to breathe, for fear of missing any crucial information.

Then Yuan Caihua said, "Oh, I understand, Ashan. Call and ask, then give me a message as soon as possible. My good sisters are waiting. If we have definite news, we need to prepare in advance."

"Hey, of course, we absolutely have to prepare. You have no idea how popular your Tenglong Island resort is right now. It's impossible to get a reservation; everyone's just watching with envy."

Yuan Caihua chatted with her son for a while longer before hanging up the phone.

Yuan Caihua told Hongjie and the others, "Ashan went to make a call and asked. We'll have news soon."

When Sister Hong and the others heard this, they became a little worried.

Hasn't he asked yet?

Yuan Kaihua said with a smile, "Don't worry, he only verbally told the resort's executives to help reserve a room, but he didn't make any specific arrangements. He'll call and ask now."

Hongjie and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Hu Jiangshan had verbally spoken to the resort staff before, it means there's still hope. Such a high-end resort should have decent management staff who wouldn't ignore these matters and understand the implications.

If you verbally agree but then don't reserve a room, that's a sure way to offend people, something a high-end resort hotel wouldn't do; it's a definite elementary mistake.

Yang Wanyu and her group didn't think so.

"Did you hear that? It turns out Hu Jiangshan didn't make any arrangements at all."

"Exactly! They even said it to them verbally. It sounds nice, but just saying it verbally doesn't count!"

"Exactly. If it were a regular hotel, it would be fine. If they verbally agree, they'll probably agree and arrange a room. But who would reserve a room for such a sought-after hotel? Wouldn't it be better to let someone else make more money?"

"Sister Caihua is too naive. She still thinks this is the past. Things are different now. There aren't so many social niceties anymore."

"Just wait and see. Hu Jiangshan will call in a bit and will definitely say there are no rooms available and we can only book for a later date." "I'm not so optimistic. I don't think Hu Jiangshan will even call. If there aren't any rooms, there aren't any. It would be embarrassing for him to call now."

While they were talking, Yuan Caihua could barely hear a few words from their side, but everyone tacitly agreed not to expose them.

We're all in the same circle, we see each other all the time, it's unwise to tear each other apart. Sometimes doing things intentionally is a good choice, but you should criticize whoever you want behind their back without any hesitation.

Hongjie asked in a low voice, "Caihua, did Ashan say when he called?"

Yuan Caihua said, "He said he would call back in a little while. Don't worry, he will definitely call back when he has news."

Sister Hong nodded. It wasn't that she insisted on staying at the ancient-style resort on Tenglong Island; she was just furious at Yang Wanyu and her group's arrogant attitude.

She'd rather fight for pride than for the money. Even if it cost double, no, three or five times as much, she'd still be willing to stay there without batting an eye.

Money doesn't matter, the key is to feel good and have emotional value.

More importantly, the owner behind the Tenglong Island traditional-style holiday home is Catherine Guise.

That's an extraordinary person. If you can stay there during the first wave of openings, it will be a great topic of conversation and something to be proud of.

As they were talking, Yuan Caihua's phone rang again.

Everyone's expression changed, and they became tense again.

It must have been Hu Jiangshan who called, right?
Judging from Yuan Caihua's expression, it's most likely true.

Yuan Caihua answered the phone, feeling uneasy, unsure whether the news Hu Jiangshan brought was good or bad.

"Ah Shan, how's it going? Any news?"

Yuan Caihua's expression changed slightly after hearing something, and she said, "It's alright, okay, I understand. Then we need to make preparations in advance."

"Okay, Ah Shan, you can go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about the rest."

As soon as Yuan Caihua hung up the phone, Hong Jie and the others were all staring at her.

Yuan Caihua's expression remained calm, but she said nothing.

Hongjie and the others looked at each other with unease and uncertainty.

What's happening here?
Why does Yuan Caihua have that expression?
Did Hu Jiangshan fail to resolve the issue?
Yang Wanyu and the others couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Wanyu said, "Sister Caihua, how is it? Is it difficult to book a room? I think if Ashan is really having trouble, he can book for the next few days. He doesn't necessarily have to be among the first to check in. There's no need for that. Don't you all agree?"

"Yes, yes, Wanyu is right."

"That makes sense. It's unnecessary. There's no point in vying to be the first."

"In the end, it's just a resort hotel. There are plenty of hotels out there, and you don't necessarily have to stay on Tenglong Island."

"Sister Caihua, if you really want to stay on the island, I have other hotel rooms on other islands available. You can choose whichever you like!"

Yuan Caihua should have been furious after being provoked by such words, but unusually, she smiled slightly.

"You don't need to worry about it, the room has already been booked."

Yang Wanyu and the others were stunned.

Even Sister Hong and the others were very surprised. Goodness, Yuan Caihua has learned to keep people in suspense.

Yuan Caihua was pleased with the expressions on other people's faces and said, "Ah Shan just called and told me that this matter has been taken care of."

Sister Hong asked, "Have rooms been reserved? How many rooms are there?"

"Not a room."

"Not a room? Then...it's not a vacation home, is it?"

Yuan Caihua smiled slightly: "Yes, they said they reserved three holiday homes for us, which should be enough for us."

Upon hearing this, Sister Hong and the others showed joy on their faces.

Holiday homes are much better than regular hotel rooms; they are spacious and comfortable, offer better service, and allow you to get closer to nature.

More importantly, it looks high-end, classy, ​​and sophisticated!

It all comes down to those four words—emotional value.

Hongjie and the others looked at Yang Wanyu, and sure enough, the latter's expression fell. Although she tried her best to pretend to be indifferent, her eyes betrayed her thoughts.

Yang Wanyu managed to book a holiday home through various means, and was quite pleased with herself for it.

What matters isn't what Yang Wanyu can order; the key is scarcity. If others don't have it, then it's impressive.

Now, Yuan Caihua has gone a step further, booking three vacation homes directly.

Wow, that sounds absolutely amazing! So amazing that even Yang Wanyu and the others thought she was just bragging.

But rationally speaking, Yuan Caihua didn't need to brag.

This kind of boasting is meaningless; it will be exposed immediately and is completely pointless.

Sister Hong chuckled, looking rather smug.

"Caihua, Ah Shan is really amazing. He got three holiday homes so easily. It's not easy. Many big shots can't get even one even after trying for a long time."

Others also chimed in.

"Sisters, what does this mean? It means that Ah Shan and Catherine have a good relationship!"

"That would be great, otherwise how could we work together?"

"Ah Shan has a lot of face."

"By the way, Sister Caihua, do Ah Shan and Catherine have some kind of special relationship?"

"Yeah, could they be a couple?"

Yuan Caihua quickly waved her hand: "Don't spread these rumors. I don't know if they have any connections. This is their business, and I can't interfere."

"That's right, Ah Shan is really amazing. No wonder the Hong Kong government values ​​him so much now."

"That's for sure! Ah Shan is a representative of the younger generation of entrepreneurs! He's the hope for Hong Kong's future!"

“Sister Caihua, I have a few girls here. Why don’t we introduce them to Ashan and let him choose one? Maybe he’ll like one.”

"Don't think about it. Didn't you hear someone saying that Ah Shan and Catherine might have that kind of relationship?"

Yang Wanyu and her companions looked at each other in bewilderment.

Did Hu Jiangshan have an affair with Kathryn Guise?
To be honest, this is a truly horrifying topic.

This is impossible; the probability is close to zero.

Who is Catherine? She's the daughter of a big shot from Blue Star, a top-tier figure. Ah Shan, a mere young master, is not in her league at all; their statuses are worlds apart.

But then again, what if this actually happens?
That's not a good thing!
The Hu family would be on their way to heaven!
