Hong Kong Mid-Levels Mansion, Fok Villa ---
A black Bentley sedan slowly approached from a distance and stopped at the villa's gate.
The car door opened, Song Zhichao motioned for Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong to stay outside first, tightened his black windbreaker, took the fruit basket handed over by Jin Jiu, and then pressed the doorbell, waiting for the villa door to click open, and then stepped in directly.
Song Zhichao has been to this mansion more than once or twice, compared with other mansions, the scenery outside is still very primitive, especially the weeds and flowers in the garden are clustered side by side, as well as the earthy herbs drying around the villa, as well as salted fish or something, which makes people feel that this should not be a villa, but the kind of ordinary compound that coastal residents like to live in.
At the door, as the housekeeper of the Huo family, Uncle Xiang was already preparing to greet Song Zhichao at the door.
"Uncle Xiang, how is your old man doing lately?" Song Zhichao handed over the fruit basket.
"Thanks to you, it's not bad. Uncle Xiang said with a smile and led Song Zhichao inside.
In the living room, Big Guy Huo was sitting on the sofa, looking through the "Huashang Daily" in his hand, and when he saw Song Zhichao coming in, he pointed to the sofa, "Sit!"
Song Zhichao sat down.
His own servant took the initiative to bring him tea.
Here, Big Guy Huo put down the newspaper and pointed to the tea: "Drink tea." ”
Song Zhichao was thoughtful, nodded with a smile, and took the opportunity to take a look at the page news, but it was about the development of sports in the mainland.
Big Guy Huo took a sip of tea, then looked at Song Zhichao and said, "Chaozai, do you know what the so-called call of you this time?"
Song Zhichao shook his head and said, "I don't know, I still hope that Huo Lao will tell me." ”
Big Huo nodded and said, "Yes, victory is not arrogant." It's just a pity that I went the wrong way......"
"Is Huo Lao referring to my stock speculation?" Song Zhichao guessed something. In his previous life, Song Zhichao admired Big Huo very much, because this person had left some prohibitions to the family, such as not speculating in stocks, because stocks are not industrial, just some rising and falling numbers, can not help the family rejuvenate the country; and said that he could not do gambling business, because gambling harmed people a lot, so he also sold his own shares in Lisboa Casino; and finally said that he could not do real estate, deliberately to raise housing prices, because Chinese have the concept of home, you can make money, but people can't even afford to buy home, then it hurts yin morality.
Because of this, before making a fortune, Huo Da Gang dabbled in real estate, and relied on his shrewdness and wisdom to become the first person to "sell pre-sale".
Originally, Huo Dagang's original intention was good, that is, selling off-plan properties can allow people to buy houses at a low price on the one hand, and on the other hand, they can also help the company raise funds for large-scale construction of buildings.
It is precisely because of this that Huo Da Boss made a lot of money in the real estate business. It's a pity that later those builders sang the idea of "selling off-the-plan properties", to be precise, they took the initiative to sing crookedly.
Huo Dagang originally created this concept to help people, but it is a pity that those mercenary real estate developers rely on "selling off-plan" to prove how popular their houses are, so as to loot people's funds and constantly raise property prices. Later, Li Chaoren went one step further and invented the so-called "shared area", which is not even a shared area abroad--- and was also sought after by real estate companies.
It is precisely because he sees that Hong Kong is becoming more and more capitalized and more and more impersonal, and that in addition to money or money in the eyes of businessmen, Big Huo sighed, feeling that he has been a businessman all his life and has done a lot of things, both right and wrong, and now that he is old, he must do something to make up for it, and compensate the society and the people. As a result, a sense of responsibility arises.
Because Song Zhichao was familiar with Big Guy Huo, he knew what he meant by what he said just now.
"Huo Lao, do you think I did something wrong in stock trading?" asked Song Zhichao.
Big Guy Huo stared at Song Zhichao with a pair of eagle falcon eyes: "Don't you think you did anything wrong?" paused and said, "Stock speculation can bankrupt overnight, or you can get rich overnight, such as you, it is said that this stock speculation won more than 20 billion at once, which can be said to be sharper than getting rich overnight." ”
"23 billion, to be exact. Song Zhichao said, "Because of the investment of 2 billion, it is normal to be able to earn this number." ”
"Is it normal? You're scarier than gambling. Big Huo snorted coldly, "At least gambling can also see who your opponent is, who the loser is, what about stock trading, you are just fighting with a set of numbers." ”
Song Zhichao didn't speak, because he knew that what Huo said was right.
"Small gambling can be pleasant, big gambling can ruin people--- like you is no longer just a big gamble, you have won more than 20 billion, then those losers have lost more than 20 billion, the wool is out of the sheep, what do you think they will do? Every day you see the newspaper, there are a lot of people who have jumped off the building and committed suicide because of stock speculation...... Maybe the money they lose is the one you win. Big Huo said in a serious tone.
Song Zhichao did not refute it, although he did not fully agree with these views of Big Brother Huo.
"What, am I not right?" Who is Big Brother Huo, and he understands what Song Zhichao thinks by simply observing his words and feelings.
Song Zhichao knew that he had to speak, so he said: "Huo Lao, what you said is correct in analysis, but the stock market is a little different from the casino, there is only one bookmaker on the gambling table in the casino, and in the stock market, anyone can be the bookmaker." ”
Big Huo smiled: "You mean that you are the dealer this time." ”
Song Zhichao actually-for-tat: "Why not?"
Big Brother Huo was slightly stunned.
Song Zhichao continued: "This time I am the bookmaker, from beginning to end to design short Soviet futures--- I don't go to hell, who goes to hell." If I lose, I will face it calmly and go bankrupt, and if I win, it will be what I am today, sitting on more than 20 billion yuan, and I can drink tea and chat with you all the time. ”
"Life is a gamble, and I've just made a big gamble in my life. Maybe for you, you think I'm a good gambler, but for me, I'm just shortening the distance with you super-tycoons by trading stocks. ”
"Of course, compared to you old-timers, I have undoubtedly taken shortcuts. But Huo Lao, the times are developing, and many things have changed, just like when you start a business, haven't you also gambled several times?"
Song Zhichao's words happened to speak in the heart of Big Brother Huo.
Back then, Huo Dagang also tied his head to the waistband of his trousers, smuggled drugs at sea, and then gambled on Hong Kong's industrialization and Hong Kong's real estate...... Along the way, it can be said that every bet is huge.
"Hahaha!" Suddenly, Big Guy Huo laughed, then stared at Song Zhichao with burning eyes, pointed at him and said, "Okay, you have passed the test --- are eligible to join the Chinese Chamber of Commerce!"
