We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

In May, the chairman’s office of Bauhinia Garden District.

"Pah." Luo Nianzhong, sitting on the sofa, threw the big red invitation in his hand onto the table.

"What kind of thing is this? Why don't you come forward to take care of it?

What's the matter? You don't want to stay in the Far East anymore and want to find a better job?"

"Chairman, what are you talking about? If I find a good family for the girl under my command, I will also help you solve the problem of your subordinates being single. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Looking at Zhou Liang Shuyi's embarrassed smile and Welch and others who were laughing secretly beside her, Luo Nianzhong didn't know what to say.

And what are you talking about? What do you mean by the girls under your command, Yihongyuan?

“No wonder people are saying that the female artists at Asia Media are becoming a place that trains wives for the bachelors in the Far East.

It would be fine if you were talking about the managers under you, but you, the Chief Administrative Officer of the group, have also fallen.

Wouldn't this only encourage this trend? Wouldn't people below be more likely to follow suit in the future?"

"Chairman, I don't like to hear this. What's the matter? Actors are inferior to others."

"I didn't mean that," Luo Nianzhong quickly denied.

“I’m afraid that women in the Asian media will see this as a way to marry into a wealthy family, which is not a good thing.

The most important thing for a good actor is his or her acting skills, not thinking about when to marry into a wealthy family every day."

Zhou Liang Shuyi gave Luo Nianzhong a look that said, "Even if that's the case, it's just the result of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being crooked."

After these words were spoken, Welch, John Baibo and others could no longer hold back and all burst into laughter.

So many senior executives from Luo Nianzhong's office gathered here today for no other reason than to deliver invitations.

Liang Jiadong, the former president of Honor Group, current CAO of Far East Group, and old subordinate of Luo Nianzhong, is getting married. The person he is going to marry is none other than Qiu Shuzhen, a female artist under Asia Media, who has just entered the entertainment industry for two years.

To be honest, Luo Nianzhong was quite surprised and felt sorry when he first received the invitation.

This is Shu-zhen Qiu, who is the epitome of sexiness. Although I haven't thought about what to do, I just feel a sense of pity in my heart.

What Luo Nianzhong did not expect was that this famous sexy goddess from the original time and space had not yet amazed the audience, but was about to get married.

Moreover, there are more than one or two middle and senior managers of the Far East Group who have married Asian media actresses. No wonder Hong Kong people say that this is the company that trains wives for Far East officials.

Luo Nianzhong didn't know whether this had anything to do with the fact that he had Zhao Yazhi and Matsuzaka Keiko in his family, but he couldn't really say that what Zhou Liang Shuyi said was wrong.

Luo Nianzhong, who was too lazy to argue with a woman, turned his attention to Liang Jiadong, who looked very happy, and said unhappily.

"You are getting married on your own and asking others to arrange it for you. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Yes, yes, I just have no experience."

Liang Jiadong is not as brave as Zhou Liang Shuyi to confront her directly. First of all, she is a woman. Secondly, what is the relationship between Zhou Liang Shuyi and the other girls of the Luo family?

This is also the reason why Luo Nianzhong didn't dare to admit that he looked down on actors. If he admitted it, there would be a huge uproar at home.

Seeing Liang Jiadong's expression that said what he said was right, Luo Nianzhong no longer wanted to save face. He congratulated him and let everyone return to their posts.

In an instant, the office that was bustling just a moment ago was left with only Luo Nianzhong, Welch, Zhou Liang Shuyi and Jason.

"I heard that you are organizing the D faction recently?"

It was no secret that Susan Chow wanted to start a career in management. Welch even talked to her a few years ago and thought she had good abilities and expressed his consideration of transferring her to the headquarters in the future.

But Zhou Liang Shuyi still refused and had a serious talk with Luo Nianzhong and Welch.

No matter what, Luo Nianzhong expressed her support, because the mark of the Luo family on her could not be washed away.

"That's right, isn't the Hong Kong government promoting democracy?"

Luo Nianzhong knew about this, and Peng Lizhi informed him immediately.

Democratic elections, Luo Nianzhong revealed a hint of sarcasm when thinking about it.

Before the ownership of Hong Kong Island was officially determined, did the British Hong Kong government ever talk about democratic elections?

From administration to legislation, the Governor of Hong Kong directly appoints and manages all the officials in Hong Kong Island from top to bottom. It can be said that all the officials are appointed by the Hong Kong government. Now you want to withdraw, and you are starting to lay mines.

When the British withdraw, they will certainly take away all the valuable people, so it is not surprising that they start to make friendly terms at this time.

Once they have enjoyed power, would they agree to give it up if you ask them to?

So the British are promoting democracy now in order to get the people of Hong Kong to be the first to rush to the front line when the time comes.

The rabbit has been protesting against the British tricks, but there is nothing he can do.

In fact, this is also good for the Luo family, but it must be within a controllable range, so the Luo family strongly supports Zhou Liang Shuyi's move.

Although Zhou Liangsuyi's main position is the president of Asia Media, in fact she has many other responsibilities.

He has served as a member of the Legislative Council, a member of the Executive Council, a councillor of the Kowloon East District, a member of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Development Council, the president of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association, and many more.

It can be said that in politics, Suk-yee Chow already has a huge foundation and connections. If she were to create a faction now, she would definitely be able to gain a lot of support.

"In addition, Britain is preparing to support Chinese capital. The most typical example is Li Kuzhi. Not only has he begun to prepare to enter the media industry, but the joint consortium he formed at the beginning of the year also obtained several very interesting plots of land."

"Hmph, a clothes seller really thinks he's such a big shot. This game of chess is not something he can play."

In fact, on the issue of Hong Kong Island, it would be more accurate to say that Luo Nianzhong is playing chess against Britain rather than saying that Britain is playing chess with the rabbit.

As early as after the Hong Kong Island issue was identified, the British had formulated a plan to hollow out Hong Kong Island.

Their idea is to raise real estate prices to create a bubble, which will not only increase the Hong Kong government's revenue through land sales, but also provide blood transfusions to Britain through infrastructure contracting.

They can also make a fortune in the financial market after the bubble bursts and complete another round of harvest.

However, because of Luo Nianzhong's relationship, the real estate industry in Hong Kong Island was suppressed.

Although the Hong Kong government has become richer and Britain has made a lot of money through project contracting, the big financial sector has never formed a bubble.

Later, England wanted to reap the lifetime income of Hong Kong citizens through real estate speculation, and let Yingzi Bank be responsible for lending to those real estate speculation groups. Stirring up the property market was one aspect, but once the real estate market collapsed, Hong Kong citizens would be burdened with lifetime debts.

But at this time, Luo Nianzhong stood up and not only cut off HSBC's arm, but also cut off the main artery of the British plan.

In order to maintain its reputation, HSBC handed over the housing loan project to Hang Seng. However, it did not expect that in the end not only Hang Seng lost the project, but HSBC was also driven out of Hong Kong Island.

Now, Hong Kong Island has started to support Chinese capital again, with the aim of controlling the Hong Kong Island's economy. Historically, wasn't it at this time that Li Bancheng started to open up the British business?

But the problem now is that the economy of Hong Kong Island has been transformed because of the Far East Group. Unless Far East is defeated in its field, it is simply a pipe dream to influence the economy of Hong Kong Island.

"It feels like the British are now at their wit's end. Their consortium is a joke, even if they add British capital.

Economically, Britain has lost its voice in Hong Kong Island. I guess they know this, and what they really need to be wary of is the government.

Looks like we need to help our old friend, England is just testing him."

Welch pointed out Britain's purpose very accurately.

Peng Lizhi's term ends in 94, and even if he is re-elected, he may not be able to last until 97.

Now that Britain knows it has run out of options economically, the key becomes promoting liberal democracy.

Now England is watching Peng Lizhi's performance. If he performs well, he will definitely work until the end. If he performs poorly, he will be replaced immediately.

"That's perfect, we will definitely support him with all our strength, but it's not up to England to decide who gets promoted.

The emperor is far away and the sky is high. What can they know about playing Infernal Affairs?

Don't they like Anglophiles? Give them that.

Having said that, Luo Nianzhong looked at Zhou Liang Shuyi and said, "It seems we need to find an opponent for you."

"That's right. Also, economically, we need to paralyze our opponents and strike them with all our might." Welch agreed with Luo Nianzhong's idea and gave some advice.

As he said this, he looked at Jason again and said, "You and the Vincent family have to take action. Find some people to become Hong Kong citizens and enter the judicial system."

"It's not easy. England will be wary of us." Jason shook his head to indicate that it was difficult.

"Hahahaha." Luo Nianzhong laughed and said, "Jason, you are too narrow-minded. Didn't we talk about democracy?"

Jason was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I understand."

"It seems that some things have to be done in advance." Luo Nianzhong seemed to be talking to himself and no one asked.

It is certain that the Luo family has its own strength, it would be strange if they didn’t.

……

The Far East Group acted quickly, starting with suppressing Li Rouzhi's base and core industry, the clothing industry.

In 1981, Li Zhi founded Giordano, but the first store was not opened until 1983.

Li was a mentally retarded person from Shunde. Later, due to some reasons, he started earning money to support his family at the age of eight.

In the 60s, he sneaked into Hong Kong Island via Macau and worked illegally. Later, he was inspired by others and studied hard to become a better person.

Li Rouzhi once worked as a manager of a sales company, but he was punished by the company for some things, which made him decide to start his own business.

Once when I was on a business trip to New York, I happened to come across a pizza restaurant called Giordano. Later, when I returned, I found Giordano’s napkins in my pocket, so I named my own brand Giordano.

As for why he opened his first store in 1983, it was because he had no funds.

At the beginning, Giordano engaged in clothing wholesale. Relying on the environment of the Hong Kong Island textile base, it first promoted its small brand in the United States and then placed orders with processing factories in Hong Kong Island.

Later, when he had accumulated capital, Li Rouzhi started to build his brand. It was Jeanswest that gave him the inspiration in this regard.

Jeanswest relies on celebrities to promote fast fashion clothing and captures the hearts of young people by selling in large quantities at low prices.

Giordano also adopted this strategy in the beginning, which is why it developed rapidly in Hong Kong Island.

"Boss, this is not a solution.

Our order volume is not at the same level as that of the Siyahui Group, and the OEM factory simply cannot offer us this price.

If the price war continues like this, we will definitely be the ones who suffer.”

"Follow, keep following.

We will also lower the price and wait until it reaches the cost price.

This round of price cuts will allow Jeanswest to seize the market, and it is also an opportunity for us. With the increase in sales, we can negotiate with the factory about the purchase price."

Li Rouzhi had to follow, as this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and with the British investment, his career could be taken to the next level.

He cannot retreat before the battle, and must let the British capital see his determination and firmness.

The clothing brands Jeanswest, Fila and Baleno owned by the Siyahui Group have all started to cut prices and promote sales in Hong Kong Island, which has had a huge impact on Giordano.

But crisis is a place where danger and reward coexist, and he knows that.

Sure enough, hard work paid off. Three days later, Li Rouzhi obtained a loan of 50 million Hong Kong dollars from HSBC.

"11 million Hong Kong dollars is a huge sum for Giordano which only has stores, but this guy was too impatient and actually used the money to expand stores in places like Hong Kong Island and Macau Bay."

"His idea is very simple, to increase sales and negotiate new contracts with OEM factories to reduce procurement costs."

"I'm afraid his understanding of price war is still at the profit-making stage. He is so naive."

After dinner, Luo Nianzhong and Chris talked about Li's stupid behavior, which made Luo Laosi very angry.

"This is the topic I brought up. Can you include me in your discussion?"

"I didn't stop you from speaking."

Luo Laosi slightly opened his lips and seemed to be about to say something, but stopped himself, thinking to himself that he should have a say too.

The price war with Jeanswest as the main force soon broadened Li Rouzhi's horizons. The price of Jeanswest's clothing dropped by more than half to the level before the war.

"Boss, we can't afford this price. If we add up all the costs for selling a piece of clothing, we will lose 14 Hong Kong dollars on average."

"Where's the other party?"

"Well, I probably won't lose money, of course, that's excluding rent.

As you know, all the stores under Siyahui's brands in Hong Kong Island are their own, which saves them a lot of expenses.

Moreover, if Jeanswest cuts its prices, they can make up for it with other products such as women's underwear.

Finally, it is about scale. For us, Hong Kong Island, Macau Bay and other places are our entire business, but for Jeanswest, the sales in these three places account for less than 30% of Jeanswest’s total sales.

Jeanswest hasn’t cut prices elsewhere, so they can share the burden.”

"I understand." Li waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, as he wanted to be alone.

The blow to Li's mental retardation was not only in the clothing industry, but also in the media industry.

You should know that in Hong Kong's printing industry, except for a few giants such as Ming Pao Group which have their own printing factories, the rest are in the hands of Asia Media.

The newly established Next Magazine has been reporting many inaccurate news recently. Lai Chi-chi even filed a lawsuit against Asia Media's printing company, claiming that the printing factory did it on purpose.

It’s easy. Just drag out the lawsuit. The worst that can happen is you’ll have to pay compensation.

Either you set up your own printing factory, otherwise such things are inevitable in the future.

The problem is that the sales of Next Magazine are not making any money at all now, and Li Rouzhi is not stupid. He is following the lead to gain publicity even if it means losing money.

Finally, in the real estate industry, the joint consortium formed by Lai Houzhi obtained plots of land in Yuen Long and Tuen Mun.

This is the first time that the Hong Kong government has allocated land in the New Territories after Far East Land Corporation acquired a large tract of land in the New Territories, and the land is right next to Far East Land Corporation.

The fact that the land was awarded directly without any bidding is very telling.

However, Luo Nianzhong said that these lands should be regarded as wastelands, so they are wastelands.

You should know that the surrounding areas of Far East Real Estate’s land have not been developed, not to mention the land of the adjacent joint consortium.

On April 4, Far East Land officially announced that it had decided to temporarily suspend development to the south and instead focus on developing the north.

Two days later, all major bus companies followed suit, announcing that they would temporarily suspend their original development plans in the southern parts of Yuen Long and Tuen Mun, and would not open bus routes for the time being.

"Bang." In Li's office, he was so proud of himself a while ago, but now he smashes everything he sees.
