Chapter 331: I don't love the country and love the ugly girl

After leaving the business school, the organizers of Xia City University announced to the students that there was an afternoon shopping time.

The crowd reveled.

"Go shopping!"

When you come to Hong Kong, at least bring some gifts for your family, friends, lovers, wives, and girlfriends.

Everyone walked out of the hotel and entered the shopping street of Hong Kong, which has long been a shopper's paradise in China.

This is because Hong Kong is a free port and is known as a "shopping paradise", where the vast majority of goods are tariff-free, and goods from all over the world are shipped for sale, some of which are cheaper than the place of origin.

So if you don't come to Hong Kong to shop, then you don't call Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong store sells a wide range of products from around the world, from top international brands to local specialty items.

Hong Kong shopping is world-renowned in terms of product variety, price and service.

Hong Kong has almost become the first choice for mainland tourists to shop abroad. After Hong Kong opened up to the mainland in July 2003, the number of mainland tourists visiting Hong Kong has become more convenient and the number has been rising, reaching more than 10,000 in 2013, and shopping has become an indispensable itinerary for Hong Kong tourists.

According to the latest Research Bulletin, in 2004, shortly after the implementation of the Individual Visit Scheme (IVS), mainland tourists spent about RMB27 billion on shopping in Hong Kong. In 2013, this consumption has surged to 170 billion yuan, a 6.3-fold increase in 10 years. So far, it has already exceeded 200 billion yuan!

The members of the president class of Xia City Business School walked on the streets of the luxury stores, and everyone felt that there were jewels everywhere.

High-rise buildings line the streets, and the lavish furnishings are extravagant.

Just looking at it makes people think about shopping.

Glittering with gold everywhere, it's no wonder that Hong Kong is a shopper's paradise, and when Xi Ming steps on the streets here, he can even breathe the smell of gold.

If it was the previous Xi Ming, he wouldn't dare to enter these shops, and he couldn't afford to buy the things inside if he sold him!

But in this life he is different, he is not the past, he is no longer short of money, how much can it cost to buy things here, a million, millions, tens of millions?

Not to mention that it is difficult to reach that level of shopping this time, even if it really costs so much money, Xi Ming has no feeling, behind him is a hundred billion empire, worth hundreds of millions of people, shopping in this kind of place is called being able to buy happily, isn't it?

The only thing that he is a little embarrassed about is that he doesn't quite know what girls like?

What to bring to your little girlfriend's summer sweets?

What do you bring to your female tenants who get along day and night?

And my cousin's family, what toys do those two cute little angels bring?

When the rhino is dazzled by a dazzling array of goods.

That's when the savior came.

Things in the world are often so wonderful, there are many coincidences, and there are also many inadvertent misses.

In the crowd, Li Ningning was shopping with bodyguards, and she was wearing sunglasses, and Xi Ming recognized her at first sight.

Li Ningning also saw Xi Ming.

The two smiled similarly.

The relationship between people and people is a subtle feeling, Li Ningning first came into contact with Xi Ming, she had a feeling of familiarity at first sight, and even had a good feeling, but the other party already had a partner, and they had no fate with each other, maybe it was destined by God.

"Brother Rhino, what a coincidence!"

"Haha, yes, what a coincidence. "Actually, Li Ningning was thinking, I came here specially, you are leaving Hong Kong, I want to give you a gift, okay......

"Ning Ning, I'm worried that I don't know what gift to buy?"

Li Ningning smiled: "I bought it for my girlfriend." ”

"Hey, not exactly. There are other people's. ”

"Well, then I'll help you with the staff. Li Ningning blinked his eyes and said very mischievously.

"Thank you so much. ”

"How old is your girlfriend?"

"Uh, eighteen. ”

Li Ningning's eyes widened and asked in surprise, "What do you like Lori?"

"Uh, eighteen, she's an adult, okay, it's not Lori, it's just younger than me"

Seeing Xi Ming's appearance, Li Ningning burst out laughing: "Hey, sister control still doesn't admit it!"

Xi Ming: "......"

The two were in a jewelry store.

At this time, I don't know if it was a coincidence between Xi Ming and Li Ningning.

"Hey, isn't this Ning Ning? Haha, I didn't expect us to meet when we shopped, Ning Ning, we really have fate. ”

Li Ningning's brows furrowed slightly, she looked at the person who came, it was the "eldest grandson" of the wealthy Guo family, he was wearing a famous brand, and he was stared by a group of bodyguards.

The Guo family is one of the four wealthy families in Hong Kong.

The "eldest grandson" of the Guo family was recognized by the Guo family's son, and he changed his surname, but in fact, he himself has no Guo family's blood.

The Guo family started as a foreign product.

Created by Guo Desheng, he is the number one person on the same level as Li Ka-shing, but he has not lived as long as Li Ka-shing.

Guo Desheng was born in 1911 in Shiqi Village, Shanshi, Guangdong Province, and opened a grocery store with his father since he was a child. In the 20s of the last century, Kwok Tak-sheng came to Hong Kong, rented a store in Sheung Wan, and opened a small grocery store called "Hung Hing Heji". Guo Desheng was born to be a businessman, no matter what time it was, he always smiled at the guests, and soon won the favor and trust of the surrounding residents, and the business became prosperous day by day. A few years later, Guo Desheng had a small accumulation, so he expanded his business and changed to the wholesale of daily groceries and industrial raw materials, and the store was renamed "Hongchang Department Store Wholesale Company". The goods he handled were moderately priced, and people said that he was an "honest businessman".

The business has become bigger, Guo Desheng has become more and more diligent, getting up early every day, greedy for darkness, busy with work outside. It didn't take long for him to expand into Southeast Asia. In 1952, his firm was renamed "Hongchang Import and Export Co., Ltd.", specializing in the wholesale of foreign goods, so the neighbors called him "the king of foreign miscellaneous goods".

He distributes more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars of goods every year, and the company has gradually become a commercial enterprise with a small scale.

In 1958, Hong Kong's economy entered a more rapid development stage, and the real estate industry was booming. Guo Desheng and two friends set up "Yongye Enterprise Co., Ltd." to try to run a real estate business. They opted for small-scale project development, and after 5 years of cyclical operation, they finally gained a firm foothold in the Hong Kong real estate industry.

In 1963, Kwok changed the company's name to "Sun Hung Kai Enterprises Limited", with a capital of 3 million Hong Kong dollars. A humble grocery store, after more than 40 years of careful cultivation by Kwok Tak-sheng, has grown into a well-known large enterprise in Hong Kong.

On August 23, 1972, Sun Hung Kai & Co. was listed in Hong Kong under the name "Sun Hung Kai Properties". The profit for the year reached 51.42 million Hong Kong dollars, which was as much as 50% higher than the expected profit. That year, Guo Desheng was 61 years old.

After the company's listing, Kwok bought a large amount of land and doubled the land bank, so that Sun Hung Kai was always able to complete the development plan according to the set goals. Even if the property market is sluggish, there is no mistake. Some people describe Sun Hung Kai as a building manufacturing factory, which continuously processes the "raw materials" of land into buildings and brings them to the market. By the end of 1981, Sun Hung Kai's market capitalization had increased tenfold in nine years, making it the fourth largest real estate company in the Hong Kong stock market.

In October 1990, Kwok died of heart failure in Hong Kong at the age of 79. At this time, Sun Hung Kai has become a large real estate group with a market value of HK$25.4 billion, and the industry has grown by 63.5 times compared with when it was founded and listed.

After the death of his father, the three brothers of the Guo family took over the business. Kwok Bingxiang was appointed as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Group, while his second brother Kwok Pingjiang and third brother Kwok Pinglian were appointed as Vice Chairman, Director and General Manager respectively. Sun Hung Kai changed from one person to three people driving together.

The three Kwok Bingxiang brothers were all born in Macau, and when they were young, they devoted themselves to learning and studied at prestigious universities. Kwok holds a master's degree in civil engineering from the University of London and Imperial College London.

The three brothers all have a down-to-earth style and simple feelings. Guo Bingxiang is even more low-key, insisting on personally inspecting the front-line business all year round, and rarely has the arrogance and pomp of a big boss.

After inheriting their father's business, the three brothers united as one, innovated and operated, and achieved brilliant achievements.

At the end of 1992, Sun Hung Kai's masterpiece Central Plaza was officially completed, making it the largest real estate company in Hong Kong by market capitalization that year.

The Kwok Brothers also continued to develop shopping mall projects, eventually owning more than 50 large commercial buildings in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories. They also actively promote diversified investment development, actively participating in transportation, telecommunications and information technology and other sectors, and have franchises for Hong Kong Route 3, River Trade Terminal, Airport Air Cargo Centre and Commercial Aviation Centre.

Sun Hung Kai has been an active investor in the Mainland, having been involved in the China Hotel project in Guangzhou in 1980, and later in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Zhongshan, Guangdong. For example, the new Dong'an Market in Wangfujing, Beijing, the Central Plaza, Mingshi Garden, and IFC in Shanghai, and the Yicui Garden project in Zhongshan have all become local landmarks.

The Kwok brothers have been running Sun Hung Kai for 20 years, and the company's market value has reached 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its assets have increased nearly eight times compared with when they took over.

People say that "no one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days". The three brothers have cooperated for many years and have been disliked for life; After the contradiction was difficult to reconcile, it finally split. On 27 May 2008, Sun Hung Kai officially announced the change of the board of directors, appointing Kwong Siu-hing, the 79-year-old mother of the three Kwok brothers, as the chairman of the board, and Kwok Bingxiang was transferred to a non-executive director on the same day.

Previously, Kwok had applied to the court for an injunction against changes in the company's management, but it was rejected by the Hong Kong High Court.

He also filed a lawsuit in court against his two younger brothers for defamation, saying that they "spread false statements, misled shareholders, and alleged that they were mentally ill and obstructed the operation of the company". He described the remarks as "deplorable" as they undermined his right to lawful governance and family ties with Sun Hung Kai. He repeatedly stated that after being examined by four famous doctors, he had no mental problems.

It's all because of a woman, the Guo family doesn't love the country and loves the beauty".

But that woman is neither a beauty nor a "red face", she is a strong woman in the business world who is over the age of six.

The strong woman's name is Tang Jinxin, who is 3 years older than Guo Bingxiang. Hong Kong business people commented that she was "petite, with a big mouth and a big nose, and a black appearance, but she has attracted many business people to pursue her". She used to run an electronics factory, and later did an investment business, and she was also a wealthy person. The two knew each other when they were young, and later developed a relationship, but due to the opposition of the Guo family, the relationship failed to develop. Tang divorced more than 20 years ago, but Guo Bingxiang still has a family. Tang and Guo Bingxiang were very close to each other.

This "eldest son" is Tang Jinxin's son.

A thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old man who is eyeing Li Ka-shing's eldest granddaughter.
