175 Attend the Birthday Feast
If you want to talk about luxury houses in Hong Kong, it is natural to be led by those mid-level mansions, and in Hong Kong, you want to say that mid-levels mansions are the first to be located in the bustling neighborhood of Hong Kong, the origin of China's mid-levels villa mansions, and the famous Taiping Mountain, such as Peak Road, Pak Ka Road and so on. Here you can see Victoria Bay in the north, the sea in the south, and overlook the invincible sea view.
As early as the mid-19th century, Sir McDonald, the Governor of Hong Kong, chose the site to build a summer house in order to enjoy the cool and pleasant living environment at Victoria Peak. The residence of Victoria Peak was officially listed as the exclusive right of the upper class and foreign envoys, and even the extraordinary status of the mountaintop was even initially forbidden to Chinese people.
Although this system was later abolished, the scarcity of Taipingshan's resources has been inherited. The owners of luxury houses in the mid-levels of Taiping Levels are either rich or expensive, and the mansions are exclusively used by business tycoons, executives of multinational companies, political dignitaries, and even outright refusal of entertainment stars.
Hong Kong's Mid-Levels luxury homes mainly refer to the surrounding property areas located below the "fog line" on Hong Kong Island. Located between the Peak of Victoria Peak and Central, it starts from the boundary between Wan Chai District and Central and Western District in the east, extends to Pok Fu Lam in the west, country parks in the south, and Sheung Wan in the north.
Here you can not only enjoy the scenery of Victoria Harbour, but also close to Sheung Wan, Central, Admiralty business districts, convenient transportation. On the other hand, the Mid-Levels are a rare place in Hong Kong, with its mountain scenery, abundant vegetation and fresh air.
Hong Kong's Mid-Levels Mansion can be said to be the origin of China's Mid-Levels luxury residences, and the scarcity of location and natural resources, coupled with the prominent and noble history of humanistic residence, has made Hong Kong Mid-Levels luxury residences famous.
……
In his previous life, Li Feng could see from time to time on the Internet that celebrities and dignitaries such as the chief executive of Hong Kong, the top leaders of various departments, such as the director of a certain department, lived in it, and there were also famous 'domestic double horses' in later generations, all of whom had bought luxury houses in the mid-levels of Taiping Mountain. Of course, among them, those wealthy families in Hong Kong are indispensable.
In addition to the mid-levels mansions in Taiping Mountain, the next thing is naturally the famous Repulse Bay, which is another gathering place for Hong Kong's top rich and celebrities after Taiping Mountain, the most famous is Li Chaoren's Repulse Bay mansion.
However, there is no restriction like Taiping Mountain, as long as you have money, you can have it, therefore, Hong Kong's entertainment industry people in the Victoria Shan can not be satisfied, they all take owning a Repulse Bay mid-level mansion as their highest goal, and later generations of online news can also see a certain star living in a Repulse Bay mansion or something.
Tonight's Repulse Bay Li family's mansion is brightly lit and full of people. The Li family's mansion is located at 79 Deep Water Bay Road, which is a typical feng shui treasure land near the sea and mountains.
Just like what Li Feng saw when he was at the yacht party before, he passed through Repulse Bay, but a little regrettable is that the mansion is not big, only covering an area of more than 400 square meters, and the mansion does not match the identity of the Li family in Hong Kong.
However, because the mansion has witnessed Li Chaoren's road from an ordinary plastic flower factory to a rich and powerful tycoon, it has always been considered by Li Chaoren to be a feng shui treasure land where 'yin and yang converge'.
Because of this, it is said that Li Chaoren would rather give up the top houses on Baijia Road and Peak Road in Taiping Mountain than give up the 'hut' here. In Li Feng's memory, according to news reports on the Internet in later generations, it seems that Li Chaoren demolished his mansion and rebuilt it.
……
Tonight's Deep Water Bay Road is destined to be a busy night, because the owner of No. 79 is holding a 70-year-old birthday party, at this time, on the way to No. 79 Deep Water Bay Road, there are many famous cars, and the top bosses in Hong Kong and Macao have begun to gather slowly.
When Li Feng's Rolls-Royce and the Cadillac off-road vehicles arrived one after another, they didn't attract much attention, mainly because among the guests who came tonight, there were really a lot of people with such pomp.
However, when Li Feng and his party got out of the car, they quickly attracted people's attention, and the security next to them was too eye-catching. Among the 6 security guards who got off the bus, 4 were western faces, and at first glance, they were very imposing and tough security personnel, all of whom were tall and powerful, muscular and very large.
Such a security team, and the leader is obviously a young man, looking at the face with a bit of mixed-race effect, could it be that those British wealthy families hidden in Hong Kong are here, many people guess so.
In the eyes of many Hong Kong people who are not clear about the situation, Hong Kong's mixed-race people are basically the descendants of those British-funded consortiums and wealthy families before the handover, such as the Ho Tung family, the Kadoorie family, and so on. Naturally, there are also discerning people who quickly recognize it as St. John Lee, a super-genius rich man from the United States, who is now stirring up trouble in Hong Kong.
……
"John, you're here, my father has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Just as Li Feng was about to walk to the villa, a familiar voice came, wasn't it the second son of the Li family who came out, and there were a few middle-aged men beside him, Li Feng only recognized the eldest son of the Li family, the future successor of Li Chaoren, and the protagonist of last year's 1 billion Hong Kong dollar kidnapping case - Li Zeju.
"Richard, so I'm late?" Li Feng replied with a smile.
At the same time, he nodded to Joseph and Wang Jianguo behind him, and signaled, at tonight's party, Wang Jianguo will accompany Li Feng to enter, and the rest of the people will naturally wait in the car.
"Hi... , Victor, long time no see!" As several people walked in, Li Feng also smiled and said hello to the eldest son of the Li family, he had met twice before, and he could be regarded as acquaintances.
"John, long time no see, thank you for coming to my father's birthday. By the way, I would like to introduce you to two business elites of our company, this is Mr. Huo Jianning, the Managing Director of Cheung Kong Asset, and this is Mr. Yuan Tianfan, the Vice Chairman of Pacific Century Digital Power Company. ”
"Oh, I have also heard of the names of the two, it is said that the two are the right-hand men of Mr. Li, and now they are by the side of the two sons of the Li family, it seems that Mr. Li has arranged the family business early. Li Feng replied with a smile.
For these two, Li Feng is really familiar, I have heard of it in my previous life, the two of them are the working emperors of Hong Kong or something, it is said that the annual income of the two of them is in the unit of 100 million, and they are one of the veritable global working emperors.
Similarly, one assisted the eldest son in Changjiang Industrial, and the other was arranged by Li Chaoren to Yingke to help the younger son, in Li Feng's mind, the little superman can linger in the flowers of the entertainment industry, if there is no support from the old superman behind him, without the help of top professional managers such as Yuan Tianfan, where is there such idleness.
Obviously, it was Li Chaoren who helped his two sons find talents to control the overall situation.
……
In later generations, Li Zekai's reputation was blown darkly, and the name of 'Little Superman' was earth-shattering.
In Li Feng's view, if there is no support from Li Superman, where is there a little Superman, look at Li Zekai's starting place - Star Media, which was not established by Li Ka-shing.
Let's look at Li Zekai's main business in the future, Yingke Telecom, isn't it established through the funds obtained from the sale of Star Media.
At first, Pacific Century Group was not mainly based on real estate, but later engaged in an empty shell - Pacific Century Cyberport project, and obtained a large piece of land in Hong Kong with the momentum of empty gloves and white wolves.
Later, in 2000, by borrowing 12 billion US dollars, in the form of cash and equity, it acquired Hong Kong Telecom, which had a market value of nearly 400 billion Hong Kong dollars at that time, which led to the later Yingke Telecom.
Without the help of Li Chaoren and the support of the Hong Kong government and the mainland government, where would it be so easy. It can be said that many of the private transactions between the Li family and the mainland government are unseemly, such as the loan of 12 billion US dollars, without the support of the government, even with the Li family's financial resources at that time would not have been possible.
Of course, it cannot be denied that the Li family has made a certain contribution to the return of Hong Kong and maintaining stability, but compared with the benefits obtained, the Li family is still far exceeded, and therefore, when the Li family withdrew from the mainland in later generations, the media in the mainland and so on reacted more violently.
......
"Hello, Mr. Li, I have admired my name for a long time!"
“......“
After some introduction, Li Feng followed the two sons of the Li family and Wang Jianguo behind him towards the gate of the Li family's mansion.
