Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Lou Zhenhua wasn't lying. Putting aside Shenzhou for now, just based on the dividends over the years, buying a villa here would be a piece of cake!
"Forget it, we should use our resources wisely. Now is the time to spend money!"

He Yuzhu simply remarked that the villas here do indeed have great potential for appreciation, but fixed assets are nowhere near as profitable as liquid funds.

Xu Damao found that he couldn't get a word in edgewise. Good heavens, he had already heard the driver mention the prices of villas here on the way to the car. A number that would make him despair was being spoken of so casually by these people.

It was only after coming to Hong Kong Island with Ho Yu-chu that I realized how ignorant I was. I thought I had some money, but now it seems that even mentioning my savings is embarrassing!

"Zhu Zi, as you said, we started working on the toy market here and have made some money. I have to thank you for reminding me. I was originally planning to work in an industry I was familiar with."

"If you hadn't reminded me, and I hadn't taken your advice, we might not have been able to overcome this economic downturn. Zhu Zi, you are a benefactor and a lucky star for my family. Thank you!"

At the time, his wife still wanted him to work in a familiar field, as venturing into a new industry was not a good thing, especially in a place where he knew no one.
Lou Zhenhua also hesitated, but in the end he chose to believe He Yuzhu. After all, he believed He Yuzhu in their decision to come to Hong Kong, and in the end, he found that He Yuzhu was right.
If we really get involved in heavy industry, materials and equipment will be a huge expense. Most importantly, heavy industry companies here are subject to the supervision of the Governor's Office, which is too restrictive.
Although he was very curious about how He Yuzhu could win battles from afar, everyone has their own secrets, and he dared not reveal them!

"That's good. It means my suggestion was effective. To be honest, I was quite worried when we hadn't restored communication a few years ago, fearing that I might cause you some losses!"

He Yuzhu appeared calm on the surface, but he was still very proud inside. He was a reborn person, so this was nothing!
It was only through conversation that I learned that Lou Xiao'e had married the son of a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, Lou Xiao'e's life was full of misfortunes. On her wedding night, her husband was kidnapped, and in the end, her husband's family called the police.

As expected, Lou Xiao'e became a widow. Her husband's family was very powerful, and Lou Xiao'e could only marry someone from the same social class; otherwise, her husband's family would not agree.
Although the Lou family was not weak, Lou Xiao'e's husband's family was an affiliated family of the Li family, which was incomparable to the Lou family. Therefore, Lou Xiao'e's marriage was delayed. However, Lou Xiao'e did not seem to be very enthusiastic about marriage!

"Uncle Lou, what's the current state of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong?"

In He Yukai's eyes, the entertainment industry is the most promising sector in Hong Kong today. The chaotic competition among Hong Kong's entertainment industry occurred in the 1980s, when many popular classic songs emerged, influencing a generation and making the industry the most profitable.
He must accumulate enough strength, as there will be many tough battles to fight in the future. He Yuzhu is no longer short of money; he can confidently say that he has a lot of money.
But shouldn't we all have some pursuits in life? Now that we're not short of money, we should naturally do something big and leave our mark on the world!
Not to mention, he also had an idea: to see if he could acquire a small bank on Hong Kong Island. Of course, this was just a trial run; without a suitable leader, the decision was difficult to make, and he dared not make it lightly. But having his own bank was essential, as it would affect his future...

The best idea is to bring Yu Shui over to study at the University of Hong Kong and then work at a bank to thoroughly master the processes. Like Cai Qiuyue, He Yu Shui is very sensitive to numbers, so he might be a suitable person for monitoring. However, he is definitely not suitable as a leader; such talent is hard to find!
As for entertainment companies, Ho Yu-chu believes that the media is very important. The media not only has influence, but can also subtly change the thinking of people in Hong Kong Island and create gossip and scandals.
It's a pity that our economic strength is not enough right now. Otherwise, with the development of cinemas, Hong Kong's media industry would definitely be able to dominate in the future!
"In today's entertainment industry, most people have triad backgrounds. To stand out from the crowd, they either need to be one of the four major families or a transcendent family like the Huo family."

"Ordinary people probably can't do it, Zhu Zi. Your foundation is in Beijing, and Hong Kong is relatively weak. Are you really planning to get involved in the Hong Kong and Macau entertainment industry?" To be honest, Lou Zhenhua was not optimistic. It wasn't that he didn't believe in He Yuzhu's abilities, but many times, talent and ability don't mean anything. Strength is the key.

No matter how talented and capable you are, those lawless gangs will come to cause trouble every day, and you won't be able to keep your business running. If it weren't for the support of the Huo family, you might not even be able to keep your own factory running.
The Lou family and the Huo family met by chance 49 years ago. When Lou Zhenhua was young, he was studying on Hong Kong Island and by chance saved the Huo family.
After arriving in Hong Kong Island, I met that big shot by chance, which is how I got his endorsement. Otherwise, it would have been too difficult for me to make a name for myself in Hong Kong Island, where I was unfamiliar with the place and gangs were rampant.
He couldn't ask the Huo family to support He Yuzhu either. Favors aren't inexhaustible; they diminish with use. Such an important resource certainly couldn't be shared.
Although I cannot do without Ho Yu-chu’s growth and success in Hong Kong, everyone has selfish desires and no one is completely selfless!

"Uncle Lou, don't worry, I have a plan!"

He Yuzhu is someone who stands on the shoulders of giants. He knows the development trend of the entertainment industry. He has an innate advantage and is well prepared. If even the gang becomes an obstacle, wouldn't he be a real waste?

"In that case, let's give it a try!"

With He Yuzhu so confident, Lou Zhenhua naturally couldn't say much, nor did he mention coming to him if he needed anything; he knew his own affairs best.

The only asset he could rely on was the Huo family, but that was the Lou family's trump card, which couldn't be used lightly. He Yuzhu had to rely on himself!
After dinner, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao went to their guest room to rest. Before resting, they naturally had to talk. After arriving in Hong Kong, Xu Damao didn't say a word. Perhaps he was shocked by the prosperity of Hong Kong, or perhaps he had some thoughts about the still wealthy Lou family.
"Da Mao, how are you feeling?"

"Brother Zhu, I've been too narrow-minded. I didn't realize Hong Kong was so prosperous. But from what Lou Bancheng said, entertainment companies are backed by triads. Can we really make it work?"

"Da Mao, you may not know this, but it's true that there are triads in Hong Kong, but there are also security companies that have legal gun licenses. Therefore, our trump card is the security company. Aren't small-time thugs afraid of firearms?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't worry, starting tomorrow, you'll attend an intensive course at Hong Kong Island University to quickly master the company's processes, then find a job and understand how an entertainment company operates!" (End of Chapter)
