Chapter 163. Take advantage of the situation
Facing Huo Yingdong and Stanley Ho who were waiting for him, Chen Xuanting immediately made a decision and apologized to the three of them: "I'm sorry, I'm late!" "Haha! Say Cao Cao Arrive! That Ren Darong got up, pulled Chen Xuanting to sit down and said, "You are indeed late, let the two such distinguished guests wait for a long time, come and punish three glasses!" With that, he picked up his whiskey glass and poured three full glasses of whiskey.
Chen Xuanting smiled and picked up the wine glass, and said, "Then I will use this wine to apologize to the two bigwigs!" Do it first! As he spoke, he drank three full glasses of liquor in one go.
drank so heavily that Huo Yingdong and Stanley Ho couldn't help but look at each other and smile, and said in their hearts, this young man is interesting.
After Da Sixi and Ren Dahua arranged the drinks, refreshments and other things, they carefully closed the door and went out.
In the entire luxury private room, only Chen Xuanting and the four of them were left.
"Ting, you don't need me to introduce you, these two are big celebrities in Hong Kong, one is Mr. Fok Ying-tung, and the other is Mr. Stanley Ho!"
"I've heard of the name for a long time, I can't imagine that I can meet today, and the younger generation is really honored!"
"Hehe, Chen Sheng speaks very gently, worthy of being a cultural person, I am a big old man, to put it bluntly, I started by pulling boats, so we will be ......straightforward if there is anything" Huo Yingdong smiled, quite bold.
Chen Xuanting understands that this Fok Yingdong said that he is coarse, but in fact he is very shrewd, otherwise he would not have been able to start a business with just a few broken ships, lay such a big family business, and become one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong.
In addition, this person is also at the helm of the 14K Hong Kong community, although in the future because he became a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in the mainland, he had to be bleached and resign from the things that talk about people, but everyone knows that secretly he is still a big boss, like the movie "Dark Flower" filmed in Hong Kong in his previous life, in which the "Hong Ye" is a metaphor for Huo Yingdong himself.
Hong Ye - an old guy who hasn't been back to Macau for more than ten years, what's so powerful, but he is the one who indulges in this drama. The life and death of all people are in his hands. The only explanation is that this Hong Ye is not a human, but a god and a fate!
Fok Yingdong is the god of Hong Kong! And this is also the main reason why Zhang Ziqiang dared to kidnap Li Ka-shing's son later, but no one dared to hit the Huo family's idea, Fok Yingdong himself is the big tyrant of the entire Hong Kong underworld ~ Tao!
"Since Huo Lao, since you say so, then I will get straight to the point!" Chen Xuanting sorted out his thoughts a little and said. "Now that the situation in the Soviet Union is unstable, I believe that there will be huge changes in the future, and this is the time for us to rob the financial markets, as long as we do it right, I believe that the profit can be as high as dozens of times!" Chen Xuanting said briefly.
"Hahaha!" Huo Yingdong laughed, "Chen Sheng, everyone knows that you are a director, I didn't expect to have such a good study of the financial market!" Obviously, he didn't quite believe in Chen's personal abilities.
"Brother Huo is extremely right!" Stanley Ho echoed, "According to our identity, we receive a lot of tips every day who think we are smart, this one says that real estate is accurate, and that one says that speculating in gold will win, in the final analysis, it is just to take money from us!" Stanley Ho sneered.
Chen Xuanting was not annoyed by his contempt, but smiled: "That's good! Both, do you think I'm a villain like that? ”
"Haha! Chen Sheng, you are so humorous! can run such a large-scale club in just half a year, if you are a villain, how can others live? Fok Yingdong obviously didn't buy Stanley Ho's account.
Chen Xuanting couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the two of them were not in harmony with each other.
Fok Yingdong and Stanley Ho used to jointly run the Macau Lisboa Casino, but later Fok Yingdong and Stanley Ho had a gap in operation, and Fok Yingdong even sold his Lisboa shares, which made Stanley Ho very unhappy. Hence the fact that there is a mustard between the two tycoons. Now Stanley Ho intends to ease the relationship between the two, but unfortunately Fok Yingdong is dismissive.
"Although he is not a villain, he is not a master!" Stanley Ho continued to sneer, "I heard that Andy Lau's "Las Vegas Tycoon" was filmed by you behind your back? ”
"It's too ugly, I just wrote the script and made an investment!" Chen Xuanting said calmly.
"You write me and Brother Huo well, no one can praise me for how amorous I am when you look at it!" Stanley Ho seems to be very dissatisfied with Chen Xuanting's writing of himself too abusively.
"It's a movie, it's just an artistic means of expression, Mr. He won't take it seriously, right?" Chen Xuanting asked rhetorically.
Stanley Ho was speechless for a while, he really seemed narrow, and besides, people also greeted him before filming.
Next to him, Huo Yingdong saw Stanley Ho deflated, not to mention how happy he was.
Chen Xuanting continued: "Actually, I am not writing about the history of a tycoon's fortune in that play, but about a kind of brotherhood! ”
"In this world, there are two things that cannot be measured and bought with money, and that is family affection and friendship!"
"Needless to say, family affection, as for friendship, especially the kind of friendship that has been born and died together and is willing to stick a knife in the ribs for friends, it is even more valuable. If I had to measure it in terms of money, I think a thousand dollars are rare! ”
Seeing that Fok Yingdong and Stanley Ho did not speak, Chen Xuanting continued: "Arabian legend says that there are two friends who traveled in the desert, and at some point during the trip, they quarreled and slapped the other. The beaten man felt humiliated, and without saying a word, wrote on the sand: Today my good friend slapped me. They kept going. It wasn't until they reached the fertile field that they decided to stop. The one who was slapped almost drowned, but fortunately was rescued by his friend. After being rescued, he took a small sword and carved it in the stone: Today my good friend saved my life. A curious friend asked, "Why do you write on the sand after I beat you?" Another replied with a smile: When you are hurt by a friend, write it in a place that is easy to forget, and the wind will be responsible for erasing it; On the contrary, if we are helped, we have to engrave it in the depths of our hearts, where no wind can blow!"
After saying this, Chen Xuanting smiled and said nothing, and took a glass of wine.
Looking at Huo He and the others again, they didn't think much of it when they heard Chen Xuanting tell the story at first, but after listening to him finish the story, Huo Yingdong among the two couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and the heart that had already been cultivated seemed to have been hit.
Chen Xuanting's words can't help but remind Huo Yingdong of the time when he and Stanley Ho joined hands to fight the world when they were young.
Just like what is said in "Las Vegas Tycoon", in those bitter days, two people eat one steamed bun for two people, and two people taste a bowl of barbecued pork! It's bitter, but it's happy!
Later, both of them developed, but they parted ways because of the uneven distribution of profits in the casino. Until now, they have achieved fame, but they are constantly intriguing.
Like Fok Yingdong, Stanley Ho at this moment was also touched by Chen Xuanting's words.
It's easy to say something like this, but no one dares to say it to their face. There are even many people who are happy or like to watch the two of them fight back and forth. But now Chen Xuanting said it bluntly......
As people get older, the feelings of family and friendship in their hearts become heavier and heavier. Thinking about the past, the two couldn't help but sigh .......
"Of course, I'm not here today to let the two of you judge my movie, mainly because I hope you two big guys can give me a chance to prove my ability!" Chen Xuanting diverted the topic, looked at them and said.
"Good! Young man, I admire you! Suddenly, Huo Yingdong said, "Mr. He and I are not the kind of people who are not enlightened, let's say, how do you want to prove it?" ”
Chen Xuanting said confidently: "It's very simple, I want the two of you to come up with 10 million each, and I will make a magic trick for you!" ”
"Magic?" Fok Yingdong looked at Stanley Ho.
Stanley Ho said: "It's better to go to my casino to watch magic - yours, what's the miracle?" ”
Chen Xuanting smiled slightly, "The miracle is that you will know in a week!" ”
"Sell it to us? Boy, you've got a kind! Huo Yingdong laughed, "I can still afford 10 million!" Lao He, are you interested in playing?! ”
From Mr. He to Lao He, Fok Yingdong obviously has the meaning of resolving the estrangement, Stanley Ho hurriedly said: "Why not, I am also very curious, what kind of miracle can this Chen Sheng conjure!" ”
Ren Darong, who was looking at him all the time and didn't say much, pinched a handful of sweat for Chen Xuanting, from beginning to end, this Chen Xuanting was stunned without stage fright! You must know that even Ren Darong himself will feel a little oppressive in the face of these two super-rich people, but Chen Xuanting seems very calm, which has to make him admire Chen Xuanting's calm practice.
It's just that when he heard that Chen Xuanting was going to use 10 million to make a magic trick for the two tycoons, his heart rose again.
10 million, what kind of magic can you conjure?!
10 million may not be a big deal for two super tycoons, but for Chen Xuanting, it is a rare opportunity to show his talent.
Is it magic? He is definitely better than Liu Qian!
After Fok Yingdong and Stanley Ho left, Ren Darong couldn't help but grab Chen Xuanting and said: "Ah Ting, I didn't say you, you have always been very calm, why are you so careless this time?" Let them take 10 million each to do magic, and if they become good, if they don't get good, even I will be pulled into the water by you! ”
Chen Xuanting knew Ren Darong's mood at the moment, Chen Xuanting was introduced to the two bigwigs by him, and if he didn't perform well, it would be regarded as losing his face.
"Don't worry, since I dare to say it, I will be sure!" Chen Xuanting said firmly.
"Oh, then tell me, how do you make a show?" Ren Darong wondered.
Chen Xuanting smiled slightly, seeing that Ren Darong was a little anxious, he felt that the time had basically come. Chen Xuanting wiped the lighter and leaned over to help Ren Darong light a cigarette.
"Then I'm not going to go around. Now there is a house in Mong Kok East, I don't know if you have noticed it, Brother Rong. Originally, it was used as a shopping mall, but after a few big supermarkets were stationed there, it was iron-hearted to build a shopping mall. So the company was going to sell the property and recoup the money. ”
Ren Darong nodded, and seemed to have heard of it, "I know about that house, but it seems that almost no one is interested in that house, although they open it at a very low price......"
Chen Xuanting: "Yes, the reason why the price is very low is because there are only 34 years left in the land to use it. ”
Ren Darong was stunned, "It's only been more than thirty years, you don't plan to buy it yourself, right?" ”
Chen Xuanting laughed, "It seems that I can't hide anything from you, I have this intention!" ”
"Ting, are you crazy? It's a disadvantage to do so! If you really take the 20 million of those two bigwigs to take this risk, I will resolutely disagree! ”
"Of course, there is a reason why I dare to do this. If you are not very sure, how can you dare to say big things, wouldn't that be self-inflicted? ”
Seeing that Chen Xuanting was so determined, Ren Darong said: "Okay, Ah Ting, don't sell Guanzi, just say what you have." As he spoke, Ren Darong poured each other another glass of wine.
"The house was really hard to manage, and the thirty-four years of access seemed very difficult to deal with. But I decided to buy it, cut it and renovate it, make it into a house, and then split it up and sell it......"
Speaking of this, Ren Darong glanced at Chen Xuanting helplessly, and directly interrupted Chen Xuanting's words, "Ah Ting, I thought that you, a great talent, could make some great moves, just this way, all the real estate speculation in Hong Kong will be all possible!" Besides, why don't the others do it, because this trick is not possible on this house, and who would want to buy a house with only thirty-four years of use rights? Okay, I think it's better to return the money to those two big guys, just admit defeat and forget it, I'll say a few words for you, just say that you are young and ignorant?! ”
It seems that Ren Darong has lost confidence in Chen Xuanting's "high moves".
Chen Xuanting smiled again: "Brother Rong, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet!" ”
Ren Darong took a sip of wine, "What else do you have to say?" That's good, you say. ”
"No one will buy it as a regular residence, but what if it is a hotel? Or a hotel-managed condominium? People who will buy this kind of house must not be used to live at home, they are long-term investors, used to rent, or to save rent and buy a house to live in for a year or two. In this way, is there a possibility of a surname in sales? ”
Ren Darong was silent, and he also knew that it was indeed the best solution for this building at present.
"I have investigated before, this building is near a famous university in Hong Kong, and college students are now renting houses, and their families can help them pay more and more expenses, which must be better than me."
"It's not the 70s and 80s in Hong Kong anymore, and few students want to live in a dormitory with eight people. In many old buildings near the university, the landlord rents out his house to students after simple renovation and charges a lot of rent. However, there have been many fires in old buildings in Hong Kong recently, which has caused panic, and many parents are very dissatisfied with such old buildings. ”
Ren Darong nodded, as a senior Chinese official in the Hong Kong police department, he was still very clear about such a fire accident, and repeatedly ordered to prevent it from happening. The Hong Kong public also reacted strongly to these fire incidents, demanding that the political axe carry out strict leasing control on these old buildings, if the policy is down, I am afraid that the leasing industry will cause a big storm, and those old buildings with substandard fire protection facilities are likely to be banned from leasing.
"In addition to the unsafe fire protection facilities, the biggest weakness of those old buildings leased in Hong Kong is the chaotic management, the key is that they are all old-fashioned communities and the property environment is poor. If the building is converted into a serviced apartment, and the property keeps up, what security guards, 24-hour cameras and other things are all equipped for him, and the safety of students is further guaranteed, do you think those parents are willing to pay more money to buy peace of mind? ”
"Lease a well-managed serviced apartment...... Ren Darong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded: "This idea is really good, but it can't be completed at all for a while, not to mention whether the owner of this building is willing to sell, let's just say that the whole renovation process will take a while...... Ting, you said you were going to do a miracle in a week! Ren Darong reminded Chen Xuanting.
Chen Xuanting smiled: "Of course I know this, I can't hide it, in fact, I started planning this matter two months ago, and I borrowed a huge amount of money from the bank, and now the owner of this building is me!" ”
"Ah, what did you say?!" Ren Darong looked at Chen Xuanting in disbelief.
Chen Xuanting smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I went around in such a big circle, I can't help it, I like to plan ahead when I do things, and I will say such big things when I am sure." This building has already begun to be renovated, and as for the 10 million I asked Huo He and the two bigwigs, it is just to repay some loans and pay some decoration costs. Look at it, I'll rent out this building in a few days and make a big profit! ”
Looking at Chen Xuanting's sworn appearance, Ren Darong had to shake his head and sigh: "Ah Ting, I really don't accept you, you even calculated me from beginning to end, it seems that I am sorry for you!" ”
Chen Xuanting smiled and said, "Don't say that, Brother Rong, I still remember your concern for me." So I've left two of the best units in that building for you, so that if you have relatives and friends whose children are going to college nearby, you can live without worry! ”
Ren Darong smiled, "Ah Ting, you really know how to do things, but I deserve it!" ”
Chen Xuanting smiled and said: "Brother Rong, if you say that, you will see the outside, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to know Huo He, the two super-rich people, right?" ”
Ren Darong couldn't help but feel a little relieved to see Chen Xuanting being so good at being a man, look, this friend is not in vain!
