Chapter 491: The Kadoorie Family

……

After taking a few sips of tea in the cup again, he put down the teacup and quickly looked at the old man in front of him, "Mr. Kadoorie, now that the tea has been drunk and the polite words have been finished, should we talk about something else?" ”

Michael Kadoorie nodded, and after a slight sigh, he looked at Wang Zheng and said, "A few days ago, I went to visit Li Zhaoji. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Wang Zheng couldn't deny waiting for the other party's next step.

"That old brother is more than ten years older than me, and in addition to neurasthenia, he also has high blood pressure, kidney failure and other geriatric diseases. But after only half a month, he actually sank away and was refreshed? It's amazing how much has changed before and after, and I heard him say that this is due to Mr. Wang? ”

Looking at the other party's straight eyes, Wang Zheng read a vague longing from it.

Wang Zheng, who had long expected that the other party would mention this, did not hide it, "The fourth uncle is actually wrong. It is not my credit that he was able to heal, but my master's credit! ”

"Master? It's too long, isn't it? ”

"It seems that the fourth uncle told you!"

Michael Kadoorie nodded.

"I'm very curious about China's mysterious religious metaphysics and traditional Chinese medicine, I wonder if Mr. Wang can introduce Master Ling to me?"

"This...?" Wang Zheng's face showed embarrassment.

"What? Is there any difficulty for Mr. Wang? ”

Wang Zheng nodded.

"Since Mr. Kadoorie is interested in Chinese metaphysics, he should know that the biggest difference between Taoism and Buddhism in China and Western Christianity is that the latter pays attention to accession to the WTO; The former pays attention to detachment from the world and avoids red dust. My master has a profound Taoism, and he likes to hide in the mountains, recite the Yellow Garden, and study the Taoism. Last time, in order to see the fourth uncle, I begged him for several days before finally inviting his old man down from the mountain. Now, if I open my mouth to disturb his old man's cultivation again, I really can't open this mouth. ”

"Is there nothing that can be done?"

Wang Zheng shook his head in embarrassment, "At least for now!" ”

Seeing her father's disappointed look, Natalie Kadoorie next to her immediately said, "Mr. Wang, as long as you can let Venerable Master go down the mountain to see my father, we are willing to spend as much as we want." Moreover, we Kadoorie family will also remember Mr. Wang's kindness this time! ”

"It's not about how much it costs! It's that my master's character is like this, and I can't be sure that I can persuade him! Wang Zheng still shook his head in embarrassment.

Everyone is not close to each other, and they are not good friends. If he doesn't come up with enough benefits, why should Wang Zheng help the descendants of a colonist.

"As long as Mr. Wang is willing to help, you can ask for anything!" Natalie Kadoorie said.

Wang Zheng glanced at the old Kadoorie who was sitting opposite, looking relatively silent, and his heart was full of thoughts, and after taking a sip of the teacup, "I have always respected Mr. Kadoorie very much, so if you help, of course it's no problem." But in the end, it's hard to say! ”

Michael Kadoorie pushed his daughter out and wanted to get to the bottom of himself. But Wang Zheng is not stupid, and he is not asking for help, so he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for the father and daughter to take the bait automatically.

Looking at Wang Zheng, who was as calm as before, Kadoorie father and daughter glanced at each other vaguely, and then exchanged glances with each other.

"I know that Mr. Wang has been pursuing an acquisition of the Wharf Group recently, and we at Kadoorie are willing to provide you with a $1 billion low-interest loan!" Natalie Kadoorie said.

"Thank you for your help. But I've got the money to buy Wharf Group! ”

"If Mr. Wang doesn't need the funds, then we still have 1.29 million square feet of Type B land exchange rights and interests in Kadoorie Real Estate, and we are willing to take out half of the rights and interests to cooperate with Mr. Wang's Wharf Group!"

"Type B land exchange rights letter?"

Wang Zheng's pupils shrank, which made him a little excited. Nowadays, with the increasing population of Hong Kong, the urban area becoming more and more crowded, and the transportation becoming more and more convenient, the New Territories, which was originally a remote place, has become a more popular place for ordinary people to live because of the relatively low cost of living.

As a latecomer to Hong Kong's real estate industry, Li Zhaoji later became the second largest real estate giant in Hong Kong second only to Cheung Kong by virtue of hoarding the New Territories Type B land exchange rights and the renovation of old buildings in the central city of Hong Kong.

However, 1.29 million square feet is only a little more than 40,000 square meters, and half of the rights and interests will be given to Kadoorie. Wang Zheng also disliked that this piece of meat was not fat enough to satisfy his greed. Moreover, Wang Zheng's original goal was not this.

"Miss Kadoorie, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I'm not sure!" After the words fell, Wang Zheng raised his hand to look at the time, and then said, "Mr. Kadoorie, the dinner party is still going to start in a while." I'm the organizer again, so I can't stay here any longer. ”

As he spoke, Wang Zheng stood up, "Thank you very much for the tea prepared by Mr. Kadoorie." In addition, I hope that Mr. Kadoorie will be able to attend my dinner and say goodbye! ”

Michael Kadoorie smiled and nodded, then stood up as well.

Wang Zheng turned around and strode to the door, just as he was about to go out, he suddenly stopped, turned around with a smile and quickly swept over the faces of the father and daughter, and then looked at the entire study, "Mr. Kadoorie, your study is good, antique, and full of all kinds of artworks, it is my favorite style!" ”

After the words fell, and after smiling slightly, Wang Zheng turned around, stepped out of the door, and disappeared into the corner of the corridor with the burly Dian Wei.

It wasn't until the footsteps near and far disappeared and Natalie Kadoorie came back from closing the door that old Kadoorie asked calmly, "What do you think of this person?" ”

"Greedy, cunning!" Natalie Kadoorie frowned.

"Greed? Cunning? It seems that you don't have a very good impression of him! ”

"Of course! Whether it is the $1 billion low-interest loan in the front or the Type B land exchange interest in the back, the price we offer is good enough. But this guy still won't let go easily. Natalie turned around, "Father, is the master in his mouth really worth your investment?" ”

"If you spent a billion dollars to extend your life by 20 years, would you be willing?" Michael Kadoorie asked rhetorically with a different question.

"Of course I do!" After blurting out, Natalie frowned again, "But I don't believe that his master is really that magical." Moreover, both Chinese and Western medicine are doctors, even if they have their own strengths and weaknesses. It doesn't go too far. What is impossible for Western medicine to do, it is impossible for Chinese medicine to really completely solve it. … Father, don't let yourself be deceived by the illusion of seeing! You must know that eyes can often deceive people! ”

"Natalie, I understand your concern! In fact, if I hadn't witnessed the changes in that old man Li Zhaoji, I wouldn't have really been so sure! After a pause, Michael Kadoorie exclaimed, "When you reach my age, you will understand that no matter how much money you make, a healthy body is more important!" ”

"But we tried twice in a row, and the guy didn't let up, and it was clear that his appetite had exceeded our expectations by too much. Is it really appropriate to do this? ”

"Suitable! If I had been given a healthy body and a chance to live one or two decades longer, I would have created far more value in business than I had lost now! Michael Kadoorie said confidently.

After nodding in agreement, Natalie frowned, "But what exactly does that guy want?" ”

"He wants The Peninsula!" Michael Kadoorie said in a quiet tone.

"What?"

Looking at his daughter's stunned appearance, Michael Kadoorie sighed with a look on his face, "Actually, I had this feeling from the moment he chose The Peninsula as the venue for his private dinner. When he left just now, the sentence he deliberately said even more revealed his true purpose. ”

Natalie said suddenly: "He said he likes your study, but he doesn't like the study, but he likes the whole Peninsula Hotel?" ”

"That's right!"

Michael Kadoorie gave his daughter an appreciative look.

"His appetite is too great! It's unreasonable! Natalie, who understood, gritted her teeth.

"There's nothing unreasonable. It's not surprising that when I have a good card in my hand that others covet, I will also choose 'Lion Mouth'! ”

"But father, do you really plan to give him the Peninsula Hotel, this is the most valuable asset of the family!"

"The family's most valuable asset is CLP Group!" After emphasizing, "CLP Group's profitability is indispensable to the family." And the Peninsula Hotel.... Michael Kadoorie gritted his teeth, "As long as Wang Zheng can let his master cure my heart disease, I am willing to sell it to him at a low price!" ”

Seeing her father's appearance, Natalie opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"Let's go, let's go down!"

"Go down?"

"Today is Wang Zheng's private dinner, how can we, as landlords, not attend?" Seeing his daughter's unhappy appearance, Michael Kadoorie advised, "Natalie, if you want to be a true business elite, don't always complain when you encounter setbacks. Instead, we must actively change our thinking, reduce losses as much as possible, and even turn disadvantages into advantages! ”

"Father, I understand what you said, but I just can't stand us being bullied like this by that guy Wang Zheng!"

"So there's a lot more to learn in the future! Let's go! ”

Looking at his daughter, who was stalking, Michael Kadoorie smiled and said, "If you don't want to go, I won't force you!" ”

"No, I'll go! I'm going to see what kind of guests that guy can bring in today. ”

Looking at his daughter, who was in high spirits and striding out of the door, Michael Kadoorie smiled and shook his head. Although this eldest daughter still has some shortcomings, as long as she is honed, she is still a qualified business leader. With her, there is no need to worry that the next generation of the Kadoorie family will not have qualified family leaders.
