A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Golden autumn.

On this day, a red Ferrari sports car drove into a villa in Stanley.

This is a villa area, but it can't be called 'garden-style detached villas'. It can only be called 'detached villas', meaning they don't have spacious gardens, but they all come with their own swimming pools.

Guan Jiahui, sitting in the passenger seat of the sports car, was both nervous and excited. It turned out that today, her 'confidante' Dibola had brought her to meet the rich.

Two months ago, she met Diborra by chance. Diborra valued her highly, introduced her to advertising shoots, and showed her what it meant to be rich.

JOY perfume, LV bags, Hermes clothing. These are just child's play. According to 'Big Sister Dipola', she now owns five apartments in Taikoo Shing and three luxury homes in Mid-Levels. She travels by sports car and occasionally acts in movies.

Although Deborah didn't tell her where she got all this, Guan Jiahui wasn't a novice in the industry, so she naturally understood that Deborah was being supported by a rich person.

Moreover, this wealthy person must have a considerable fortune; otherwise, it would be difficult for a small-time actor to fill so many properties.

So after knowing each other for a while, Deborah saw that Kwan Ka-wai was very envious, so she took the initiative to introduce her to a rich boyfriend, and today was the day she came to meet him.

Beforehand, Kwan Ka-wai was somewhat worried, but Deborah repeatedly assured her that if she didn't want to leave, she could leave immediately, as Hong Kong is an absolute 'rule of law/society'.

"Come in, don't be shy, Mr. Chen is very easy to talk to!"

Guan Jiahui walked into the villa's hall with some trepidation and soon saw a man reading a book on the sofa. At first glance, he looked somewhat familiar to her (Chen Guangliang would always appear older in the media, wearing glasses without lenses, but in reality, he preferred to look younger at home), but she couldn't quite place him. More importantly, she felt it was impossible.

However, in Guan Jiahui's opinion, Chen Guangliang was indeed quite old at this time, probably in his thirties, but he was very refined and handsome, which made her a little attracted.

At this moment, Chen Guangliang put down his newspaper, stood up and looked at Guan Jiahui. She was quite youthful and fresh-faced, and he had been into this type of woman for the past few years.

Deborah introduced, "Mr. Chen, this is my friend Guan Jia Hui. She's still in school, but she's already working part-time!"

Chen Guangliang said with a smile, "So it's a little girl named Jia Hui. Don't be shy, make yourself at home and play as you like!"

That's right, it's going to become Kwan Ka-wai's own home!

Chen Guangliang is quite confident in his charm; of course, he would be even more charming if he spent money on him.

Guan Jiahui asked, slightly nervous but also excited, "Mr. Chen, what kind of business do you run? You seem very wealthy?"

"Haha, we have all kinds of business. Let me show you around the villa first. We're having a party here today, you're welcome!"

Guan Jiahui nodded. She suddenly felt that Chen Guangliang was very approachable, and she was no longer so worried.

Then, Chen Guangliang led Guan Jiahui and Dibola to visit his villa.

In fact, Chen Guangliang doesn't even look at this kind of villa, even though its current value is probably around HK$8 million, which is enough to buy about eight luxury homes in Mid-Levels.

However, these villas are perfect for 'keeping women', so he naturally rented several from Cheung Kong Holdings.

When they pushed open the door to a bedroom on the second floor, Kwan Ka-wai and Deborah were both startled. They saw stacks of HK$100 bills on the bed, probably worth over a million.

Chen Guangliang laughed and said, "I forgot to pack, but the security here is very good, so it's fine!"

Guan Jiahui couldn't help but want to experience what it was like to have so much money, but she still knew that the rich man's money wasn't so easy to get. Even if she wanted to submit to this rich uncle, she had to be clear-headed. Guan Jiahui was not a girl who hadn't seen the world.

"Oh"

Guan Jiahui did not stay long and voluntarily left the room.

Diborah whispered to Chen Guangliang, "You still need to play this kind of game!"

Chen Guangliang grabbed a handful of her buttocks and grinned wickedly—she may look glamorous on the surface, but who isn't a thief or a prostitute?

He, Chen Guangliang, also had a wicked heart that he was suppressing, and now that he's retired, he wants to let it out.

Later.

The three arrived at the poolside. Guan Jiahui had already changed into a conservative swimsuit, while Chen Guangliang was only wearing boxer shorts, revealing his muscular physique. At that moment, Guan Jiahui thought Chen Guangliang was only thirty-five or thirty-six years old.

At this moment, Guan Jiahui began to have some doubts about Chen Guangliang's identity. She remembered the appearance of 'Chen Guangliang' in the newspaper, and the man today looked somewhat similar, only much younger.

Could he be the second generation of the Chan Kwong Leung family in Hong Kong?

Then I've struck gold!
So she quickly relaxed, and besides, Mr. Chen was quite charming!

In the swimming pool, Chen Guangliang, under the pretext of teaching Guan Jiahui professional swimming techniques, took advantage of her by touching her inappropriately. Guan Jiahui did not refuse at this time and relaxed her guard, but instead enjoyed the feeling.

"Mr. Chen, do you swim often? It's so nice to have a swimming pool at home!"

"The swimming pool at home is just for taking a bath. I usually go swimming in the sea by yacht."

"Wow, that's really cool, but aren't you afraid of the danger?"

"Haha, what's so dangerous about it? Of course, there are still the necessary safeguards. There will definitely be bodyguards watching over us in motorboats."

When talking to immature people, you naturally have to lower your guard, otherwise there will be a generation gap!
When they reached the shore, Chen Guangliang had one hand on Guan Jiahui's waist. Her skin was like that of a porcelain doll—so white and so tender.

I can't believe it, if this woman had used his gene serum, her skin would probably be even better.

Even just the size of her chest could have been upgraded by two levels. Looking back now, I should have made the move last year.

The maid brought over two glasses of champagne, and the two of them took a small sip before placing them on top.

"Are you hungry? Shall I take you to eat?"

"I'm hungry. Oh, where's Sister Deborah?"

"She didn't want to be a third wheel, so she ran away!"

"Oh, come on, I haven't even agreed to be your girlfriend yet!"

Chen Guangliang smiled and took his hand as they walked into the villa.

However, this meal was indeed complicated. Guan Jiahui discovered that she was in a Rolls-Royce convoy heading towards the Stanley pier.

When they arrived at the dock, a yacht was already waiting for them, and there were many bodyguards around. She became even more convinced that this man was the second generation of the Chen family. Could he be an illegitimate child?

Rumor has it that the "Four Tigers of the Chen Family" each lead a large conglomerate, each comparable to HSBC, so Kwan Ka-wai can't believe that the "Four Tigers of the Chen Family" would like her.

So, only Sir Chen Guangliang's illegitimate son could resemble him and possess such abilities. "Where are we going?"

Chen Guangliang, with Guan Jiahui in his arms, sat on the deck of the yacht, feeling the sea breeze, and felt as if he were thirty or forty years younger. Over the years, although his body had aged slowly, his mind had aged quickly.

If it weren't for the young woman saving him, he was truly afraid that one day he would still have good conditions, but his mindset would become old-fashioned.

No, he must keep up with the internet mindset and not be left behind by the times.

You'll find out soon.

Guan Jiahui was quickly stunned, then pointed ahead and said, "The British and American Superyacht!"

This yacht is not only familiar to Hong Kong people, but also very well-known in the world, because it is the personal yacht of the world's shipping magnate and has entertained many heads of government and celebrities.

As Guan Jiahui mechanically followed the others onto the British American Superyacht, she still felt like she was in a dream, just like Cinderella dreaming of Snow White, a dream that would linger even after she woke up.

Inside the superyacht Britain and America, the walls are adorned with photographs of Chen Guangliang chatting and laughing with heads of state from various countries—including the deceased Kennedy, Nixon, the current Carter, the British Prime Minister, and even an elderly Chinese man whom Guan Jiahui finds both unfamiliar and familiar.
"How come you look so much like Sir Chan Kwong-leung?"

"Because I am him."

Guan Jiahui stared in disbelief, frozen in place. She simply couldn't believe that Sir Chen Guangliang, whom she had heard so much about since childhood, was actually trying to woo her today. She couldn't believe even more that Sir Chen Guangliang, who had been a prominent figure in Shanghai's entertainment industry in the 1920s and 30s, was still so young. In short, she just couldn't believe it.

Seeing that Guan Jiahui was frozen in place, Chen Guangliang took the initiative to move closer and enjoy the sweet nectar of youth.

"woohoo"

Guan Jiahui hugged Chen Guangliang tightly; she felt completely melted at that moment.

After a long while, the two separated, and Guan Jiahui finally realized what was happening and said, "You're lying, you must just be a descendant of Sir Chen Guangliang!"

Chen Guangliang put his arm around her waist and walked towards the restaurant.

Soon, Guan Jiahui learned what luxury and wealth truly meant.

Before this, none of the people she saw or thought about were considered rich.

When she saw the maids addressing him as "Mr. Chan," Kwan Ka-wai gradually began to believe that this was Chan Kwong-leung himself. After all, if he were an illegitimate child, the maids would not respect him so much, since this ship was "Sir Chan's vehicle."

"Mr. Chen, how old are you this year?" Guan Jiahui hesitated for a long time before finally asking a question that wasn't very good.

"He's only sixty-eight years old," Chen Guangliang said nonchalantly.

Guan Jiahui was shocked again. How much older was he than her? She should practically call him "Grandpa Chen." But looking at Chen Guangliang's skin, she thought he was really well-maintained and could easily pass for someone in his thirties.

"What, you think I'm too old to be your friend?" Chen Guangliang said with a playful smile.

He's bound to succeed in pursuing women; even if he were a millionaire today, his charm would still be enough to win over Kwan Ka-wai.

Guan Jiahui quickly said shyly, "No, I didn't expect it to be you!"

"Haha, don't be nervous!" Chen Guangliang said with a smile, "I like making friends with young people; it keeps my mindset young. Tell me, what do you usually like to do? Let me see if we have any common interests!"

While enjoying her meal, Guan Jiahui recounted how her family was well-off when she was young, how she had been to Lane Crawford, and how she had danced.
After dinner, Guan Jiahui freely explored the yacht, except for a few cramped rooms, she could visit the rest of the area at her leisure.

In fact, this superyacht has already been renovated twice, and each renovation takes more than a year.

evening.

Upon entering a bedroom, Kwan Ka-wai discovered that there was another large amount of Hong Kong dollar cash on the bed, even more than before.

This time, she went straight up and grabbed them, feeling the value of the HK$100 and US$100 bills.

Of course, this time Guan Jiahui also felt someone hug her from behind, and then warm breath tickled her neck.

However, she didn't care; all she wanted now was to have the money in her own hands.

No~~

Chen Guangliang picked up Guan Jiahui, who was now only wearing 'Hello Kitty underwear' (copyright owned by Huatai Group, applied for in 1970), and placed her on the other side of the bed, where a towel was laid on top of her.

Clearly, this is cash, but also a 'trap'.

"Sir Chen, I'm not ready yet!"

"Close your eyes."

Chen Guangliang felt like he was back in his twenties!

Time flies and it’s August in a blink of an eye.

Hong Kong media have been frequently reporting 'good news' recently, for example:

According to the Oriental Daily News, the Hsin Feng Textile Group, established for about half a century, has recently earned hundreds of millions of US dollars thanks to its invention of fleece fabric. Under the same conditions, fleece provides twice the warmth of wool and four times that of cotton. It is also lightweight and dries quickly. Even if it gets dirty, it's not as troublesome as wool sweaters; simply toss it in the washing machine and the problem is solved.

According to the Sing Tao Daily, Uniqlo sold millions of fleece jackets in Japan and South Korea last year, and is expected to break even higher sales records this year. Orders have even been placed with Europe and the United States, and the U.S. military is also a customer.

According to the Oriental Daily News, two arcade games developed by Midea Games Entertainment this year have once again achieved great success in overseas markets. To date, Midea Games Entertainment has developed four arcade games that have reached the "100 million yuan club".

According to Ming Pao, Hong Kong's high-tech industry is no longer defined as a "money-losing industry" and has begun to become an option for entrepreneurs. All this success stems from the Cheung Kong Industrial Group's invention of world-renowned products such as plastic flowers, suitcases, and instant noodles in the 1950s. Today, Cheung Kong Industrial Group has become a global conglomerate with products sold worldwide, making it Hong Kong's undisputed "number one conglomerate."

When citizens saw this news, they were naturally proud.

“When my son went to university, he chose Hong Kong Polytechnic University (which was upgraded from a junior college to a university in 1972). The tuition was paid entirely by the Chan Kwong Leung Foundation. After graduation, he joined Midea Group, a subsidiary of Cheung Kong Industrial Group, and now he earns an annual salary of 15 yuan!”

"Wow, that's impressive! Midea Group must be the most technologically advanced group within the Yangtze River Industrial Group, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. Anyway, they're really amazing. They make everything from Walkmans and digital watches to tape recorders, arcade machines, and game consoles, and they place great emphasis on talent development."

At this time, Hong Kong had become an era in which manufacturing, high-tech industries, trade, and real estate were equally important.

Especially in manufacturing, Hong Kong's real estate sector can hardly be said to surpass manufacturing. In particular, when manufacturing is mentioned, Hong Kong people inevitably think of the massive Cheung Kong Industrial Group.

Media reports indicate that Cheung Kong Industrial Group has 10 registered employees, and the Chan family behind it is the true "Governor" of Hong Kong, whose every move affects the economic lifeline of Hong Kong.

With Chen Guangliang fading from the four major conglomerate groups, the Chen family's "Four Tigers" are beginning to be accepted by the public—the second generation of the Chen family has completed the succession. (End of Chapter)
