Chapter Ninety-Two: To Hong Kong
(Thank you for the world's jerking off, Shepherd 818 for your tip, thank you for your support.) There was a bit of a delay today, and I'm only back for an update now, sorry. )
After the frustration of the day, Kerry did not talk about cooperation again at dinner, but wanted to have a relationship with Zhou You first.
It's a pity that he chose to talk about Zhou You's private life, which Zhou You has always avoided talking about. Many of his secrets simply cannot be reasonably explained, and if they are really to be discussed, there will be more and more loopholes.
Therefore, his fart slapped on the horse's leg, and the two of them seemed even more out of tune than during the day.
In Kerry's eyes, he is extremely stubborn.
But in Zhou You's opinion, he is in the wrong direction, and no matter how hard he tries, it will be in vain. Now he is completely doing useless work, but he doesn't know it at all.
The differences in culture and thought are vividly displayed between the two of them.
He Jisheng did not refuse Zhou You's desire to mortgage the trademark loan, but he did not directly agree, but just asked Zhou You to go to Hong Kong and the two of them to discuss this matter.
Moreover, now that Pfizer has also tentatively sued Weiman and Zhou You in the Philippines, how to deal with it still requires him to communicate directly with He Jisheng.
The next day, Zhou You came to the police station with a new household registration document and a Hong Kong and Macao pass.
In this era, it is still very troublesome for household registration in other regions to apply for a Hong Kong and Macao permit. However, Yangcheng has established a direct channel with Hong Kong, and it is only a procedural issue for local household registration to apply for Hong Kong and Macao permits.
Liang Hao and they have finished the exam, and they have been busy buying gifts in the past few days, preparing to go back to their hometown for the New Year.
Zhou You was originally thinking about whether he would return to his hometown, and if he went back, at most he would go to the grave of his parents and worship him. During the Chinese New Year, I spent it with a few brothers at most.
His second uncle Zhou Jincheng had already said that he would let him celebrate the New Year with them, and after thinking about it for two days, he decided to send Liang Hao and them back, and then come back by himself.
Yan Fangqing still had the last test to be examined, Zhou You explained to her, and in the envious eyes of several brothers, followed the car of Weiman Company to Hong Kong together.
In this era, although Hong Kong has returned, in the hearts of the Chinese people, it is still the same as foreign countries. They only saw the prosperity of Hong Kong, but they didn't know that even more than ten years later, there are still countless Hong Kong people crowded in coffin rooms, just living on the streets.
Weemann is a joint venture company whose shareholders include several prominent families in Southeast Asia. The Pan Yuan family is only a small family, because their family is mainly engaged in the pharmaceutical business, so they can obtain nearly 20% of the shares, which is the second largest shareholder.
In addition, there are several families that are larger than the Pan Yuan family, but their main business is not the pharmaceutical industry, so they only account for a small number of shares.
The biggest of them is the Ho Chi Sang family, from 150 years ago, their family was the head of the four major families in Hong Kong, until now, no one can shake their status.
Like Li Jiacheng, although he became the richest man in China, this is only because of the Yangtze River and Hutchison under his name, which is brought by the listing, and he belongs to the generation whose reputation is greater than status.
really talks about the foundation, when it comes to soft and hard power, he can't see enough in front of these old families.
To say the simplest example, the gambling king He Hongyan is only one of the dozens of grandsons of the He family, so you can imagine how many people there are in their family and how powerful they are.
However, He Jisheng and their ancestors were only with He Hongyan's grandfather and brothers, although they are a family, but the relationship is already relatively distant. But when it comes to it, He Jisheng still has to call He Hongyan his uncle.
He Jisheng's branch, the most famous figure is the well-known Chinese pride Bruce Lee. He is also He Jisheng's cousin and the son of He Jisheng's aunt and grandmother.
This kind of big family, although the theory of generations is clear, but the age difference is very large, and many younger generations are much older than the elders.
He Jisheng is also in his sixties this year, and his granddaughters have all given birth to children and become ancestors. But Ho Hongyan's old tree bloomed this year, and his fourth wife was pregnant again. Speaking of which, this unborn child is still He Jisheng's sister.
Anyway, when it comes to the seniority in the big family, many realities are ridiculous. It's strange that if they worship their ancestors together, many old men want to call their children grandfathers, and I don't know if they will shout.
The company's car is a right-hand drive car with dual license plates in China and Hong Kong, so it was only a little checked at the Huanggang port, and the tour set foot on the land of Hong Kong again.
In his previous life, when he was married, he was preparing for a wedding with his wife, and he came to Hong Kong for the first time.
Later, I came to work in Hong Kong, but I only worked for less than three years, and most of the time I went to sea.
Although he likes to be lively, he has never had a very good impression of Hong Kong. Although it claims to be a cosmopolitan city, its people are intolerant and psychologically closed.
Not only mainlanders, but also people from other places, Hong Kong people do not have much patience and tolerance. It's a bit of arrogance, or the psychology of a small country and a widow.
Perhaps it is the self-confidence that has been lost by more than 100 years of British rule, a blind inferiority complex and a sense of pride, without a little generosity.
Ass issues aside, Singaporeans are definitely doing better than Hong Kong in this regard. Although it is politically separated from the mainland, it is now working hard to become an international city. No matter what culture or person the people there have, they can accept it lightly, which is indeed incomparable to Hong Kong people.
It doesn't matter if you're a mainlander, an Indian, an African, or an American, as long as you're accepted into Singapore, you won't feel too much of a barrier at all.
But in Hong Kong, even if you get a Hong Kong household registration, you will always be an outsider without several generations of integration.
Zhou You also considered immigrating to Hong Kong, but Hong Kong, like the mainland, will not provide any help to Zhou You's Ocean Treasure Hunt Program. If there is no government support for them, the pressure they face is definitely not something that one person can bear.
So, he considered immigrating to Singapore.
A few colleagues who went to Hong Kong got off the bus in Yau Ma Tei, and the driver drove the car directly through the tunnel and came to Hong Kong Island.
Seeing that Zhou You kept looking down at Wen Jiàn without raising his head, the driver couldn't help but ask, "Has Zhou Sheng been to Hong Kong before?" ”
"Nope."
He smiled and said: "It's really not like it, anyone who comes to Hong Kong for the first time is like a curious baby, but you don't seem to be interested in anything outside." ”
Zhou You sneered: "Isn't it just a little taller, what's there to see?" ”
He shook his head speechlessly, unable to continue. I smuttered in my heart: No wonder you can be a boss at a young age, and you can only be a driver at the age of dozens of years.
The car drove up the hill from Causeway Bay, surrounded by cool breezes, and when I saw that I was about to reach my destination, I put down the indictment in my hand and prepared to rest my mind.
The car stopped in front of a villa on Peak Road, surrounded by mountains and forests, and there were no other houses in sight. It's not like the center of Hong Kong, it's like being in a primeval forest.
He Jisheng enjoyed it.
Stunned in front of Zhou You, this driver was more enthusiastic. As soon as the car stopped, he hurriedly helped Zhou You to open the door, but when he saw that Zhou You had already opened the car door by himself, he hurriedly helped to press the doorbell.
"Zhou Sheng, do you want me to come and pick you up in the afternoon?"
"I don't know if I'll go back in the afternoon, so let's leave me a call, and if I go back, I'll call you, if I don't call, you don't have to worry about me."
He hurriedly took down a business card from the car and said with a smile: "My name is Wei Ze, Yangcheng Conghua, if Zhou Sheng is in Yangcheng in the future, Hong Kong needs to use a car, or need to ask for directions, you can call me, I am familiar with both places." ”
Zhou You put away his business card and said with a smile: "Thank you in advance, when you return to Yangcheng, I will invite you to dinner." ”
A security guard opened the door of the villa, and a Filipino maid stood next to him and said in English: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, the master is waiting for you." ”
Although He Mansion can be regarded as luxurious, it is only luxurious in terms of location and pomp. For those who have seen the mansions worth hundreds of millions of dollars in later generations, this mansion built in the seventies can only be regarded as quiet and elegant.
Following the Filipino maid through the garden, He Jisheng, accompanied by a forty-year-old woman, waited at the door of the villa. From the fact that he could greet him at the door, Zhou You's heart felt a burst of warmth, and the other party's attention made him quite useful.
Without waiting for He Jisheng to speak, Zhou You hurriedly walked a few steps briskly, and said, "He Dong is really too polite, so tormenting juniors. ”
He laughed and said, "When you're old, you should also move your body." This is Uchiko. ”
"Hello Mrs. He." Zhou You nodded to her and didn't rush to reach out to shake her hand.
She nodded slightly. "In the past few months, Jisheng has been praising you at home, thinking that you are a rare talent. Not only me, but also several juniors in the family are curious about you. ”
Although she is over forty years old, this woman makes people show a kind of elegance. Judging from her age, she can't be He Jisheng's original partner, because He Jisheng's eldest son is probably older than her.
Of course, this young woman is relative to He Jisheng, and for Zhou You, she can be a mother at this age.
"I hope I can get out of He Mansion safely today, He Dong is not praising me, he is pulling hatred for me!
Zhou You didn't expect that he would still be someone else's child one day.
Hearing what he said interestingly, He Jisheng and his wife both laughed. The three of them gave in and entered the house.
The furnishings in the house are not as luxurious as you would have imagined, but are full of a sense of history.
In the hall, the most conspicuous thing is a photo of the three brothers He Dong, and there is a small photo next to it, the quality is blurred, this is their ancestor He Shiwen.
Perhaps because the history is so old, the photos at that time could not be enlarged, so they are not conspicuous.
He Jisheng saw that Zhou You was interested in this, and immediately talked about the history of the family, and told him two jokes within their family, narrowing the distance between the two sides.
