MTL - America’s Road To Wealth-v2 Chapter 441 Xiangjiang Fengyun
Chapter 441 Xiangjiang Fengyun
"Fan Liu" is Xiangjiang's alternate chaebol, compared to Li Cucumber and Li Ji, he can only be regarded as a junior.
He is the last super rich man who captured the golden age of Xiangjiang.
In business, this person is famous for his sharp vision and courage.
In the 1980s, he galloped in the stock market as a stock market sniper and rose rapidly.
If this kind of script is in the United States or the United Kingdom, there is a high probability that he will become a financial tycoon in many years.
To some extent, Abel in the United States can be said to be an enhanced version of "Fan Liu" at the beginning.
However, the area where "Fan Liu" is located is Xiangjiang.
Xiangjiang is a magical area where no matter what industry you are engaged in at the beginning, in order to succeed in the end, you will turn to real estate.
Even a high-tech IT port can eventually become a place for super-giant real estate projects that mainly rent out shops and sell high-priced residential buildings.
It can be said that engaging in real estate has been made the only solution to become a consortium in Xiangjiang by Cucumber Li and his gang.
This is also the reason why Xiangjiang has made no progress since entering the 21st century.
In a small city, housing prices are sky-high. The average house price is more expensive than Manhattan, and the average price of CBD office buildings is among the top three in the world.
The key area is only more than 1,100 square kilometers, but the population is as high as six to seven million.
In addition to real estate, there are also service industries such as finance and tourism. It can no longer develop any serious industries.
Basically, Xiangjiang has no future.
The local tycoons are not fools, and they can naturally see this.
Most of them are unwilling to be lonely, and most of them are looking for a way out.
Most people set their sights on the north. But the hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the north are not the same as before, it is the new century.
A small number of people set their sights on the international market.
When the international super giant, the richest man in the world, Abel Smith, came to Xiangjiang.
Any rich man in Xiangjiang is very concerned about his itinerary.
When Abel left Lu Yu Tea House, he was in a skyscraper on Connaught Road, Central.
Zheng Tong, one of the New Big Four in Xiangjiang, is being surrounded by many people. They are... hoeing big D.
"Hoe Big D" is a popular card game in Hong Kong Island and Guangdong Province.
The way of playing is to fight against each other. The big fights the small, and the first to run out of cards wins. It is also called "fighting for the top" or "running fast".
Although it is a single-soldier battle, it also pays attention to cooperation, bullying the weak, and joining forces. .
If there are Xiangjiang media practitioners here, you can tell at a glance that these people around Zheng Tong are almost all Hong Kong's tens of billions of billionaires.
In addition to Zheng Tong himself, there are also the famous "Fan Liu", Yang Shoucheng of Yingwang Entertainment, Ma Yamu, the king of buses, etc.
Having said that, Xiangjiang media practitioners especially like to give celebrities nicknames.
In addition to the stars of the entertainment industry, even the rich are not spared.
Like Superman, Fourth Uncle, Fan Liu, Bus King, Toy King, Costume King and so on.
If you read those Hong Kong financial news, you will find that there are a bunch of "kings" everywhere in various industries on Hong Kong Island.
The local media especially likes to give him the title of "King of XXX" for a relatively outstanding businessman in a certain field.
Like Cucumber, his nickname at the beginning was the King of Plastic Flowers.
"Pair."
"Three."
"Five-card straight."
"same color."
"Haha, no cards, right? Straight flush! Hahaha—give money, give money, 130,000 yuan per person, Shenghui Shenghui!"
Zheng Tong's cheerful voice sounded in the crowd.
This time Zheng Tong played a good deal of cards, and killed everyone alone, and everyone lost 130,000 to him.
It’s only 130,000, let alone Hong Kong dollars, even if it’s U.S. dollars or British pounds.
For these billionaires, it's just "sprinkling water".
The losers all smiled and pretended to be unwilling, and took out the cash and returned it to the winner, Zheng Tong.
Zheng Tong, who has won over 1 million yuan, looks happier than he has earned hundreds of millions in business.
This is because Zheng Tong, one of the four super rich people on Hong Kong Island, loves this game very much.
He often pulls his son and a group of wealthy friends to play this kind of big D.
Over time, because of his identity, a large group of wealthy people united by his side.
A Xiangjiang workshop, a very mysterious "Big D Club" was formed.
The main program of "Big D Club" is playing cards.
However, many times, every card in this kind of game is actually playing capital outside the game.
Just like today, a large group of people seem to be playing cards, and Zheng Tong, who has won money, is also very happy.
But most of their attention today was not on the game in front of them.
This can be seen from the fact that one of the main backbones of the "Big D Club", Zheng Tong's son Zheng Chun, just came in from the outside, and everyone's eyes were focused on him for a moment.
Zheng Chun, who was stared at by everyone, was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing his father staring at him, Zheng Chun knew that now was not the time to play tricks.
He said directly:
"I've been in Lu Yu's tea room all the time, and Tsar Huo went in for a while. A ghost girl went in behind. I asked someone to check. She was the sales director of a yacht company in France. After that, he left Lu Yu's tea room and went to Disneyland and Ocean Park, went to the Taipan Building for lunch at noon. After eating, he went to the Kowloon Ice Room. After leaving the Kowloon Ice Room, he went to No. 26 Garden Road after two o'clock in the afternoon."
After listening to his son's long words, Zheng Tong asked calmly
"That's it? In other words, he only met Huo Yiguan and a ghost girl? He didn't see anyone else?"
Zheng Chun nodded, "At least that's all our people see."
What Zheng Chun reported just now is actually the whereabouts of Abel and his people in Xiangjiang all day today.
This is Hong Kong Island no matter what.
The Zheng family is one of the out-and-out big snakes.
Abel did not intend to act secretly.
His entire whereabouts were even carried out under the coverage, protection and monitoring of Hong Kong police officers.
It is really not a problem for a local snake like the Zheng family to get his whereabouts.
"Damn it. This Yankee, did he really come to visit Hong Kong Island?"
In the "Big D Club", the richest "Fan Liu" besides Zheng Tong couldn't help but say.
"I don't believe it..." Yang Shoucheng said:
"Ghosts love money like life. His time is so precious. Where is it not good to travel? Come to our Hong Kong Island to travel? Maybe the secret lies in the meeting between him and Huo Yiguan?"
Yang Shoucheng's words were approved by most of the people present, and even Zheng Tong felt that what he said was reasonable.
After all, who would have thought that Abel Smith, the world's richest man, is the core figure of an American consortium. In his pure Angsa body, there will be a soul with Chinese feelings.
"Uncle Tong." Fan Liu suddenly said: "You have a good relationship with Huo Yiguan, maybe you can ask him?"
Everyone's attention was focused on the "chairman" Zheng Tong when the fan Liu said so.
Having said that, Zheng Tong loves playing cards.
So there is the emergence of "Big D Club".
Even at the beginning, the members of the Big D Club were even more prominent than they are now.
The other three members of the Xiangjiang New Big Four, as well as Huo Yiguan and He Gai. Wang, were once members of this big D club.
It's just the card addiction of these people, without Zheng Tongqiang. In addition, this invisible organization has always been dominated by Zheng Tong.
Gradually, these bigwigs gradually alienated the big D club.
But there is no doubt that Zheng Tong has a very good relationship with them, and he is the one with the best relationship with other people in the New Four.
Unlike the two Li in it, the relationship is getting worse and worse.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have named his son's name as similar to the other's name.
Under everyone's gaze, Zheng Tong shook his head slightly:
"Why Huo Yiguan went to look for him, you don't need to think about it to know the meaning of the north. But what exactly is it, he is so well-spoken, if he doesn't want to say, it's useless for anyone to ask."
Zheng Tong refused to ask, and the others naturally didn't have the courage to ask Huo Yiguan.
After 1997, Lao Huo's status in Xiangjiang was an existence that even the old and new Big Four must pay attention to.
Just as this group of people frowned, they thought about the purpose of the "strange" whereabouts of the world's richest man on Hong Kong Island.
A secretary of Zheng Chun walked in from the outside, tried not to attract the attention of other rich people, and whispered something in the boss's ear.
After listening, Zheng Chun showed a surprised expression on his face.
The eldest son of the Zheng family immediately said: "You may not need to guess, maybe you will know the reason tomorrow night."
His voice brought everyone's attention to him.
"How to say?" Zheng Tong looked at his son and said.
Zheng Chun didn't dare to show off to his father, so he said directly:
"Just now the secretary informed me that there will be a party tomorrow night at No. 26 Garden Road. Consul General Gao Lesheng, please invite you to the party tomorrow night."
After hearing what his son said, Zheng Tong became interested:
"You mean, the main function of Gao Lesheng's party is to entertain Abel Smith?"
"Should be like this? The party at the ancestor's house was also of the same nature." Zheng Chun said uncertainly.
At this time, beside Yang Shoucheng, a wealthy member who just joined the big d club not long ago.
He whispered to Yang Shoucheng, who was always more loyal beside him:
"Brother Albert, what's the matter with the ancestral banquet?"
Although Lao Yang has a ruthless reputation, this guy has a gentle appearance, and he looks like a gentleman.
In the same level of ecosystem, he has always been a very enthusiastic person.
This can be seen from the fact that he later took the initiative to invite Zhang and Xu from the Mainland to join the Big D Club.
"It was a banquet at the ancestor's house last year. At that time, it was the American envoy in London, and he hosted the banquet for Abel Smith, who was not the richest man in the world. It is said that all the people who attended the banquet were super big men, such as envoys from various countries in the UK, Top tycoons from various countries and the like. It is said that even the Crown Prince of England wanted to go, but his identity was not suitable. After all, so many diplomats were present. Mr. Zheng happened to be in London that time and was taken in. But he was very humble, He said that at that banquet, he was the little transparent in the corner. Even Mr. Zheng said that, one can imagine the grade of that banquet."
Yang Shoucheng said with a fascinated expression.
After Yang Shoucheng's explanation, the new members suddenly realized.
The new members have just come from the Mainland not long ago.
But I also know that "ancestral home" is on Hong Kong Island, which generally refers to England or London.
The older generation on Hong Kong Island, the more they admire sheep, the more often they have an inexplicable yearning for the country where the sun has set.
This trend is especially true in the rich circle.
Like Zheng Chun, he likes to share his experience of participating in that banquet and often talks about it in the big d meeting.
Obviously at that banquet, Abel didn’t even feel the existence of Zheng Chun, and didn’t know it, he was just a little transparent.
But just because he participated in the banquet of the level of his ancestors, Zheng Chun was always proud of it.
Even if it is a little transparent.
This is true of Hong Kong Island bigwigs like Zheng Chun.
One can imagine what some ordinary Hong Kong people feel like.
"If it's the same as that time." Zheng Tong made a direct decision:
"It's not just me. There should be many of you, and you can all receive the invitation from No. 26 Garden Road. Go there tomorrow night, and you should know whether it's a donkey or a horse."
Everyone nodded.
In fact, Zheng Tong did not make a mistake in his judgment.
The banquet held at No. 26 Garden Road tomorrow night will be very grand.
It is true that Zheng Tong is not the only top Hong Kong Island figure like Zheng Tong who received the invitation.
In order to expand its influence on Hong Kong Island, No. 26 Garden Road sent invitations to most of the celebrities and dignitaries in Hong Kong Island.
And No. 26 Garden Road is the address of the US Consulate in Xiangjiang.
It is the largest consulate in Hong Kong, with a large area and can hold parties of up to a thousand people.
In the mind of gathering wool, and in order to make the party as grand as possible to please Abel.
Consul General Gao Lesheng sent out hundreds of invitation letters at once...
Basically, all the celebrities on Hong Kong Island, and even Hong Kong and Austria, were caught in one sweep.
When the dignitaries and celebrities in the city were mobilized by the invitation letter from Consul General Gao Lesheng.
Consul General Gao Lesheng himself, at the same time, was in a secret conference hall of the consulate.
Watching one of the heads of CLA in Asia.
Being trained by Abel Smith, he couldn't lift his head.
"Who do you think you are? Sir, who do you think I am? Do you think I'm an employee of CLA or FBl? How dare you ask me? Sir, are you sure you're not joking?"
"No, not what you think. That's not what I meant, Mr. Smith."
One of the heads of ClA Asia.
Nathan De Funeso, stationed on Hong Kong Island, hurriedly explained.
ClA is very powerful, especially when targeting those small countries, even the leaders and monarchs of small countries will tremble when they hear their names.
But ClA has always been the largest foreign intelligence agency in the United States.
Not to mention the big man in front of him, a character that even ClA's immediate boss would respect and respect.
Facing Abel’s anger at this moment, Nathan De Funeso had to keep apologizing:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith. I really didn't mean that, I'm really sorry, please calm down..."
Nathan De Funeso hates his boss now.
What do you mean by "Abel Smith can cooperate with some of your actions", "This is the authorization from the commander", "You can do things with confidence, I am your strong backing"...
Shet!
Nathan suspected that if he made a phone call now.
To his immediate boss, he said that he might have provoked Abel Smith, and hoped that the boss could help him.
Then his boss will definitely hang up his phone immediately, and he may even hold himself accountable immediately.
Although he has been stationed abroad for a long time, he is a member of an intelligence agency after all.
Born with a very strong ability to understand information and intelligence.
Nathan De Funeso knew deeply that if a big man like Abel wanted to play a small role like himself.
Really, many times, it’s just a phone call, or even just a few words in front of some people.
It is almost the same difficulty as trying to kill an ordinary foreigner.
It only depends on whether you want it or not, it is definitely not a question of whether you can.
Looking at Abel's angry look, Nathan De Funeso now just wants to pump himself hard.
I also hated my immediate boss for fooling me.
And Abel looked at the leader of the CLA Hong Kong Island organization who kept admitting his mistakes in front of him in fear, and he finally calmed down a little.
Just now, in front of Gao Lesheng, the Consul General of Hong Kong Island.
Nathan said that he would ask Abel to do something for CLA.
Abel asked what was the matter.
Nathan said it was arranged by the White House.
He wanted to invite Abel to take a group photo with some local people on Hong Kong Island, such as students, university professors, officials, etc.
I also want to ask Abel to come out and attend some small special banquets held by CLA after the banquet tonight.
Abel immediately thought of something that made him angry.
Although from the perspective of his current interests, doing this kind of thing may be beneficial to himself.
But doing that would make him feel unhappy inside.
Feeling unhappy, Abel immediately grabbed Nathan De Funeso and sprayed him.
Abel promised George to help the intelligence agencies abroad of the United States by doing something.
But in his heart, he still doesn’t want to do these things on Hong Kong Island, or in his former spiritual mother country.
At least not now.
Nathan De Funeso was out of luck.
Even if the head of intelligence has a high status on Hong Kong Island, the so-called New Big Four and Old Big Four will tremble in front of him.
But in front of Abel, Nathan De Funeso is really a small role.
When the small intelligence chief of the empire dispatched outside faced the top elite of the empire.
Don't care if it's reasonable or unreasonable, don't care what the dignitaries promised before.
As long as the powerful are unhappy, they are so powerless.
Abel has scolded enough, and Nathan De Funeso is really sensible and keeps apologizing.
Abel calmed down a little.
He looked at Gao Lesheng next to him.
Gao Lesheng, who was watching a play, immediately smiled at Abel.
"Michael, I think spies who play intelligence sometimes just have no brains."
Gao Lesheng's original name is Michael Crossen, and Gao Lesheng is just his Hong Kong-style Chinese name.
Most of the ghosts who live and work in Hong Kong will have a Chinese name in order to integrate here and to facilitate work.
This point, even the former governors of Hong Kong were no exception.
Looking at Nathan De Funeso who dared not refute even being scolded, Gao Le Sacred Heart wants to tell you that you have always made things difficult for me.
But Abel can leave in two days.
Gao Lesheng will at least stay in Xiangjiang and work for another year or two.
Will always be colleagues with Nathan De Funeso.
So of course he won't really mess up the relationship between the two parties.
Gao Lesheng smiled for Nathan De Funeso, distracting Abel's anger.
"Ha - you are right. But Mr. Smith, you are one of our media tycoons and entertainment giants in the United States. The guests of the banquet tonight, I wonder if you are interested in meeting outstanding people in the relevant local industries? "
"for example?"
