Chapter 352 [Connecting the Relationship]
Hong Kong people are very fond of horse racing, so many people know Happy Valley as a place. As the name suggests, Happy Valley is where horses are run.
In fact, Happy Valley is not only the Jockey Club's racecourse, on the contrary, Happy Valley is a high-end residential area in Hong Kong, many well-known mansions are built here, and there are not a few Hong Kong celebrities who live here again, and even if the Jockey Club's racecourse is built here, Happy Valley is also a model of Hong Kong's peace and quiet compared with Wan Chai and Causeway Bay.
There are no night games in this district, there are no entertainment venues, the flow of people is relatively simple, of course, Shing Wo Road, Shanguang Road and other street high-end restaurants and hotels are indispensable, more than 20,000 members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which member's horse wins, will be held in the nearest Happy Valley hotel to hold a celebration banquet, and the Jockey Club members are either rich or expensive, so over time, in addition to horse racing, even hotels and restaurants are also famous in Hong Kong, many people who come to Hong Kong to travel, even if they do not watch horse racing, will come to Happy Valley to taste high-end food.
Chen Tianlang drove the car along Blue Pond Road into the open-air car park outside the Happy Valley Racecourse, picked up the gift box and got out of the car, and walked towards the Lido Hotel directly opposite the racecourse.
Looking at this red banner, Chen Tianlang remembered many Hong Kong films and TV series he had watched before. It seems that many bigwigs in movies like horse racing, and even Hong Kong TV has filmed two TV series for this reason, one is "Racecourse Tycoon" starring Huang Rihua, and the other is "Racecourse Storm" starring Zhang Jiahui. It can be seen that Hong Kong people have a special preference for betting on horse racing. In the capitalist society of Hong Kong, the poor have to wait a year or two or more to receive a small amount of relief from the government, but in the same city, the upper class, who is either rich or expensive, can rent an entire hotel because of the victory of a horse they raise, and the cost of this dinner is probably worth the sum of the poor people who are waiting for the relief of Hele Post.
Drunken gold, bright lights, poverty, rain and wind, rich and poor staggered to build this Oriental Pearl.
On one side of the Lido's main entrance, a red steed stood quietly next to the jockey, receiving praise from all sorts of people, while the young Chinese-British jockey occasionally thanked the "Fortune Boy" for his praise.
Huang Renfa and his wife Huang Li Shujing stood at the main entrance of the hotel, shaking hands with the guests attending the promotion banquet, and the hotel staff led the guests towards the wedding banquet hall in an orderly manner.
"Councilor Huang, congratulations, congratulations on being promoted this year, and you will definitely win the championship next year!" Chen Tianlang held the golden horse in both hands, and waited for Huang Renfa to walk over quickly when there was no one else in front of him, and shouted with a smile on his face.
Huang Ren looked at Chen Tianlang when he heard this, and the subtle smile on his face immediately turned into a daze, as if he was guessing who the other party was, and his face was very angry.
"I'm Chen Tianlang. Chen Tianlang had to make another introduction.
Huang Renfa remembered who the other party was, and a warm smile immediately appeared on his face: "Oh, it turned out to be Chen Sheng, I'll wait for you to come after you called, I'll arrive so late, remember to accompany me to drink a few more drinks later." β
Huang Renfa didn't even look at the golden horse in the transparent glass gift box in Chen Tianlang's arms, but Huang Li Shujing next to him saw this golden gift, and the smile on her face was a little more, and she asked next to her, "Renfa, who is this young man?"
Chen Tianlang also looked at Huang Renfa, he guessed that this was Huang Renfa's wife, but Huang Renfa would be rude if he didn't introduce himself and spoke rashly.
"This is my wife, and she is also my good helper. Huang Renfa introduced his wife to Chen Tianlang, and then pointed at Chen Tianlang to Huang Li Shujing and said with a smile: "Chen Sheng, the president of Hong Kong Caixing Company, the director of Avril Company, a young handsome man, just twenty-two years old, is now a big boss worth hundreds of millions, absolutely young and promising!"
knew that all Huang Renfa's affection was polite, but it was extremely natural to say it from his mouth, as if Chen Tianlang was some kind of junior close to him. However, there is one thing that Huang Renfa did not understand, that is, Chen Tianlang is no longer a small billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of millions, but a billionaire. Although there are many wealthy people in Hong Kong, there are very few people of Chen Tianlang's age who are self-made.
Chen Tianlang hugged the golden horse, saw Huang Li Shujing stretching out his hand towards him, decisively handed the golden horse in his hand into Huang Renfa's arms, and shook Huang Li Shujing: "Mrs. Huang, just call me Alang." β
After speaking, Chen Tianlang smiled apologetically at Huang Renfa: "Mrs. Huang shook hands with me, I was very rude to hold the gift, please trouble Councilor Huang to help hug it, you are promoted to the horse race, this time you will hold the golden horse, and you will definitely be the first in the first class next year." β
Huang Renfa also seemed to be very satisfied with Chen Tianlang's junior posture, pointed at Chen Tianlang and smiled at his wife: "Young man, because I shook hands with you and asked me to help him hold the gift box, he didn't consider me an elder at all. β
Although he said that Chen Tianlang did not respect his elders, his smile and tone told a few other caring people who stopped not far away, Huang Renfa was just ridiculing, and he was very satisfied with Chen Tianlang.
"It's a guest from afar, and Alang has to complain when you ask you to help him get a gift box, really. Huang Li Shujing smiled at Chen Tianlang, she was still a little surprised that Chen Tianlang was worth hundreds of millions at such a young age, so she couldn't help but like this young man a little, and couldn't help but bring the tone of an elder in her tone: "Alang, the first time we met, I let you break the bank, it's really a shame not to go, there must be a lot of girls in mini." β
"Ah Biao, help me take Ah Lang to the guest room that I have opened above. After talking and laughing with Chen Tianlang for a few words, Huang Renfa called the driver standing behind him, handed the golden horse to him, and instructed him.
"Yes, Mr. Huang. The driver, Ah Biao, took the gift box and turned around to put the gift in the hall first.
Huang Renfa said to Chen Tianlang: "I'll greet the guests at the door first, you go up and wait for me." β
"Of course, it is the most important wedding banquet for the promotion of the councillors, it is better to talk about it another day, and today I have made a special trip to drink this cup of wine. Chen Tianlang's smile remained unchanged, and when he talked about his own affairs, it seemed that it was not worth mentioning compared to Huang Renfa's horse racing promotion.
"You go and wait for me. Huang Renfa didn't say much, just smiled, Ah Biao had already come out and said to Chen Tianlang: "Mr. Chen, please come with me." β
"Thank you. Chen Tianlang followed Ah Biao into the Lido Hotel, did not stop in the lobby on the first floor, and took the elevator straight up to the eighth floor to the presidential suite opened by Huang Renfa
Ah Biao opened the door, stood on the side and said politely to Chen Tianlang: "Mr. Chen, you can wait here, the cigar bar, the bar is all available, if there is something, you can call the hotel staff directly, Councilor Huang will come up soon." β
After Chen Tianlang nodded in thanks, Ah Biao gently closed the door of the guest room and left, Chen Tianlang walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, and through the bright glass window, the entire Happy Valley race course opposite was in full view.
The reason why he came to see Huang Renfa this time was that Chen Tianlang was also forced to do so. You must know that Hong Kong pays the most attention to interpersonal relationships, and rich people basically play together. A politician like Huang Renfa will not make a move, if he really makes a move, then it will be hopeless for Avril to turn over. However, at present, Huang Renfa doesn't seem to have any intention of helping the Xiang brothers, after all, his identity is here, how can he help others without the slightest benefit. However, as the general election approached, it was not good that Huang Renfa took out the Avril incident as a political bargaining chip in order to win votes. Therefore, Chen Tianlang had to come over first to get through the relationship, so as not to be unable to end it when he got it.
In addition, Chan is also interested in making friends with Hong Kong politicians like Wong Yan Fat. The reason is very simple, in a place like Hong Kong, if you do business small, it doesn't matter, as long as you get a little bigger, you have to have dealings with these politicians. Not to mention anything else, in his previous life, many of Chen Tianlang's friends worked hard in Hong Kong and wanted to take land to develop real estate, which one was not to drink tea and chat and play golf with those politicians, with only one purpose of asking for care and intelligence. In short, if you want to gain a firm foothold in Hong Kong, a treasure of feng shui, and become a tumbler, you must know how to be a person, and being a person is the most fundamental foundation for doing great things.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for more than ten minutes, the door of the guest room outside opened again, and Ah Biao stood on one side to let out Huang Renfa's figure.
"You're waiting for me outside the door. Huang Renfa first gave an order to Ah Biao, and then entered the guest room, and said with a chuckle to Chen Tianlang: "Come and sit." β
Chen Tianlang walked over quickly, sat at the bottom of the sofa, Huang Renfa picked up two cigars from under the coffee table, skillfully cut off the eggplant cap, and handed one to Chen Tianlang: "After you called, I asked Ah Biao to help me check today's newspaper, the news was posted to the family, there is a problem between you and their brothers?"
Chen Tianlang helped Huang Renfa light a cigar before saying: "I came to Hong Kong from the mainland to develop, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, what can be the problem? I walk on tiptoe, for fear of alarming those bigwigs, but those bigwigs have some preferences, not to mention robbing my business of Caixing, and now they are beating the idea of my Avril company, and if they can't use force, they will come up with ideas to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, make my company's reputation stink, and then take the opportunity to swallow it." β
Huang Renfa nodded: "It's just the old way, the methods that the Xiang brothers are making now are very common, this is his first step, to expand his influence, he will not rush up and bite you like a mad dog, but use public opinion to amplify your problem, and at the same time ensure that he is involved in this matter on his own side, so that he can continue to act next." β
Chen Tianlang played with his cigar and nodded, Huang Renfa said Xiang Huasheng's first step was the same as he thought, to expand the situation, and at the same time, Xiang Jia was only involved from the side at this time, and did not confront himself head-on.
"Three news in two days, Xiang Jia has a wide range of contacts in Hong Kong, this is just the beginning, if you speak out, that is, you admit that you have done something wrong, your heart is weak, if you don't make a sound, he can continue to burn you on the side, burn to a limit When everyone is guided by his public opinion, you can raise the torch head-on, bang, set your whole person on fire, you tell me what you think after you know the news, I will listen to it. Huang Renfa looked at Chen Tianlang and said.
"I'm silent for the time being, I'm going to find a suitable entry point to fight back, but now I can't judge how much of a storm the Xiang brothers will set off, so I'll trouble you, Councilor Huang. Chen Tianlang stretched out his hand and loosened the collar of his shirt and said.
Since he wants to rob your business, of course, he hopes to kill everything, the rivers and lakes talk about being a man and leaving a line, and the business field only pays attention to the inexhaustible wildfire, and the spring breeze blows and grows, and he must do everything absolutely, since he wants to completely defeat you, and do not give you a chance to turn over, of course, he will do as big as he wants.
Yongsheng Entertainment has done a lot in Hong Kong in the past few years, and he has dealings with many people, and his connections will not be just in the circle, I guess that his next step may be to use some politicians like me to speak for him and crusade against your Avril company.
At that time, even if you admit defeat, it will be useless to cancel the so-called fur competition, they must have grabbed the other handles of Avril Company, and when the time comes, throw them together, directly step on your company, and when you can't hold on, then use the shell company as a savior, buy your Avril at a low price, and then become the owner of the company, and then stand up and say that you want to completely transform Avril, in fact, it is to fire some old people, replace their own people, completely turn the company into their own, and finally follow Avril's original development strategy, actively develop overseas business, and strive to go publicγ You must know that making a clothing brand in Hong Kong is the most profitable and easiest to list, and as an international metropolis, Hong Kong will always be at the forefront of fashion. β
Huang Renfa is forty years old, and his mind reaction is at its peak, and it is completely based on the three pieces of news released by Xiang Jia at this time, it is speculated that the Xiang brothers want to kill Chen Tianlang's Avril Company: "If you follow my analysis, where will you choose to start a counterattack?"
Huang Renfa looked at Chen Tianlang and asked rhetorically with a smile, like an elder examining a young man in a school.
Chen Tianlang pondered for a moment: "After the parliamentarian spoke out, I began to fight back. β
Huang Renfa nodded appreciatively: "If you can think of this, it means that you have a plan in your heart, and it is not an accident that you can achieve your current position at a young age." β
Huang Renfa did have a good impression of Chen Tianlang, he was not interested in the golden horse sent by Chen Tianlang, but he was interested in Chen Tianlang. Of course, he was not interested in it from the beginning, but after accepting the golden horse sent by Chen Tianlang, Huang Renfa specially asked people to check Chen Tianlang's details. Then Huang Renfa found that he had made a big mistake, Chen Tianlang's net worth was not hundreds of millions, but more than a billion!
A child with a net worth of hundreds of millions is just enough to have a glass of red wine with him, after all, there are many billionaires in Hong Kong, but those with a net worth of more than one billion are worth his help, the reason is very simple, this is a potential stock that many people have not noticed.
You must know that in Hong Kong, the combination of power and wealth is very important. Now that he is going to run for the new district council, he must get the support of some financiers. In previous years, the appetite of those gold owners was getting bigger and bigger, which made Huang Renfa a little unhappy. He is a district councilor, not their intelligence agent, and he has to inquire about everything. Now the appearance of Chen Tianlang just gave Huang Renfa a good opportunity.
First of all, Chen Tianlang is not familiar with Hong Kong, and the only person he can rely on is himself, if Huang Renfa shows favor a little, the relationship between the two will definitely be harmonious. Secondly, at present, Chen Tianlang's request for his help can only be regarded as a big and small matter, and this little thing can sell a big favor, why not do it?
In short, Chen Tianlang found him for help, why didn't he wait for him to help him in the future.
Mutual benefit, this is the way to cooperate.
