Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

He inspected the company from the third floor upwards again, making sure that there were no problems in each company before returning to his office on the ninth floor to start today's work.

It was called work, but in fact, he just made a cup of coffee and then checked the summary of the trivial matters that Li Hangluo had given him on the site yesterday.

Such trivial matters worthy of Li Hangluo's record are not common, unless Liu Xu needs to make a decision or handle it personally, then it will be recorded.

For example, today, Liu Xu said he had started working, but in reality there was nothing on his desk except a cup of coffee, a blank piece of paper and a pen.

"Knock knock knock~" Liu Xu sighed that the knock on the door came just in time, just as he finished a cup of coffee.

"Brother Xu, someone is looking for you. It's the middle-aged man who said he wanted to visit the mountain last time. Although he looks familiar, I didn't bring him up directly. Do you think you should meet him or not?"

Paying respect to the mountain? As soon as this word flashed through Liu Xu's mind, he knew who the visitor was.

He nodded slightly and instructed Bo Zai, "Take him to the leisure area and prepare tea for him. I have some official business to attend to, so I'll go there five minutes later and ask him to wait for me."

In fact, he did not have any urgent business to deal with immediately. He chose to arrive at Dongsheng Building later for two deep considerations:

One is to deliberately leave the other party alone in order to strategically suppress the other party's temper and aggressiveness.

Timely "ignoring" can subtly adjust the psychological balance of both parties, making the other party more cautious and humble in subsequent exchanges, thereby gaining more initiative for themselves.

The second is to deliberately maintain the mystery of being a superior and silently convey a message to the other party: that one is not only the master of time, but also the leader in this interaction or cooperation.

In this way, you can establish your authoritative image in the eyes of others.

As time slowly passed, Liu Xu looked up at the top of his desk, where a clock was hanging. Its minute hand had moved far beyond five and now reached seven.

Feeling that the time was right, he stood up and strode towards the leisure area.

After a brief conversation, Liu Xu learned that the other party went to Jiangxi Province after the conversation with him. He immediately felt that his decision to leave the other party alone was a bit unfair.

Although this young man makes money through shady means, he has very high emotional intelligence and smart methods. No wonder his subordinates are so loyal to him.

The rural areas of Jiangxi Province were not much different from those in other provinces: most of the rural areas at that time still maintained their traditional pastoral scenery.

The rice fields are vast and boundless, with golden grains swaying in the wind, and a few low earthen houses or brick and tile houses dotted among them.

Some villagers were wearing straw hats and hanging towels on their shoulders, harvesting rice continuously; some were sitting under a big tree at the entrance of the village chatting and enjoying the cool air, while children were playing at the end of the alley, and their laughter echoed in the country lane.

The county town is not much different from those in other provinces: the main streets are paved with bluestone or cement roads, while some secondary roads are vaguely muddy and visible to the naked eye.

There are various small shops on both sides, including grocery stores, cloth shops, teahouses, etc. Occasionally, you can see one or two newly opened supply and marketing cooperatives, attracting farmers from the surrounding areas to come and purchase.

There is an iconic building in the center of the county town, which is the office location of the leaders. According to Zhang Zihao's description, it always becomes a landmark in the hearts of every local person in the county town.

The city is still not much different from other provincial urban areas: in this era, it has begun to show more obvious urban characteristics.

The streets are wider, and the buildings on both sides are mostly two- to three-story buildings. Some are equipped with neon lights, flashing a faint and warm light at night.

Although buses run infrequently on the streets, they are an important means of transportation for citizens. The most common bicycle is the Phoenix brand bicycle that needs to be pedaled while standing up.

The commercial district in the city center began to gain popularity, with an increasing number of department stores, restaurants, bookstores, etc. On weekends and holidays, it was crowded and bustling.

As for the provincial capital, perhaps because Gan Province is located inland, it has gradually become a relatively prosperous city.

But compared with provincial capitals such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hubei, it seems somewhat underdeveloped.

Commercial districts such as Zhongshan Road and Shengli Road are lined with shops, selling not only local specialty goods but also goods from all over the country, demonstrating the vitality of the market economy in the early days of opening up.

Parks such as East Lake and South Lake are shaded by green trees and sparkling lakes, making them a good place for citizens to relax and have fun. In addition, institutions of higher learning have injected new vitality into the development of cultural education and scientific research.

After listening to Zhang Zihao's narration, Liu Xu raised his teacup and toasted him to express his gratitude. In his previous life, he was born in the 1990s, and by the time he could really remember things, it was already the millennium.

He couldn't help but feel a little dazed when he learned about the overall situation of Jiangxi Province in the 1980s. Especially the description of the countryside aroused his memories of his childhood in his previous life.

Seeing Liu Xu lost in his memories, Zhang Zihao immediately shut up and kept quiet. According to what he had heard, this big shot seemed to have never been to the north and had grown up in Hong Kong Island since he was a child.

He had a lot of doubts in his mind, but he didn't ask directly. He was worried that if he asked rashly, he would offend the other party if it involved the other party's privacy. He knew that it was better to have less trouble than more.

It took a moment, maybe one minute, maybe three minutes. Liu Xu came back to his senses from his trance, smiled apologetically, and there was some sincerity in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry. Your description of the scenery and people of Jiangxi Province, especially the rural scenes, reminded me of some stories that I have heard from my elders even though I haven't experienced them myself."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zihao showed a barely perceptible hint of pride on his face. He knew that his narration had touched the heartstrings of this big boss and left a good impression.

"Brother Xu, you are too polite. It is my honor to have the opportunity to share these experiences with you. This time, in addition to reminiscing about the past, I also came to discuss the business I proposed last time. I hope you can be flexible."

Liu Xu nodded: "No problem, but your previous plan was too small-minded. I think you can add a few more targets to the plan."

Considering that the other party had gone to Xia Country because of what he said, and might not have had time to choose a suitable target in Tsim Sha Tsui, he stood up and walked to the map on the wall, drew a circle and continued:

"This is Kimberly Street, and it is also a famous gold and jewelry sales center in Tsim Sha Tsui. There is not only the gold shop of Chow Siu Fook, a local enterprise in Hong Kong Island."

"Even foreign companies such as Bulgari, Bulgari, Longdebao and Wanwan's Shitouji operate jewelry stores in this area. Among them, Shitouji and Longdebao operate gold stores."

"It is only one kilometer away from the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station. From the time the police station receives the alarm, to the time the police gather and set off, to the time it rushes to the scene, this journey only takes three minutes."

"The PTU's patrol location is fixed here every Tuesday and Friday at 3 p.m." Liu Xu pointed to the location near Victoria Harbour on the map.

“It only takes five minutes from the time the main reception desk calls us to the time we get to Kimberly Street.”

"You covered your faces and controlled the staff inside the store to prevent anyone from calling the police. You then completed the robbery within three minutes and took another three minutes to turn into Jordan Lane via Chatham Road."

"There is no surveillance here. You can change cars here and then go back to Chatham Road from Jordan. As long as no one sees your face and you change your clothes, you will be completely safe."

Zhang Zihao stared at the circled location on the map with fiery eyes: "What do you want?"
