Chapter 500: See Li Zhaoji Again
readx;
Li Mingbao is also a little slippery now, so he can directly skip such beautiful words as Huo Lao. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info anyway, even if these beautiful words are said a lot, they are not worth a dime, and with Li Mingbao's business, he has little to do with Huo Lao, so the relationship between him and Huo Lao is quite simple, there is no hatred and no interests. It's almost enough to say pretty things, and you don't have to think about further things at all.
As for the relationship between Huo Lao and then taking the line of the mainland, such a road is good for those little guys, after all, Huo Lao's era in Hong Kong is actually a signboard, but this approach also does not have much significance to Li Mingbao, because Li Mingbao himself can directly contact the mainland, through Huo Lao, not through Huo Lao, the treatment is almost the same, the mainland will not open more things to Li Mingbao because of Huo Lao's face, and will not give Li Mingbao less things because of Huo Lao's face.
To put it simply, to the extent that Li Mingbao has reached the level of cooperation with the mainland, the key lies in what he can give, and what the mainland will give him. The relationship between the outside world is not at all effective in such cooperation, but the role is also quite limited. Therefore, Li Mingbao's attitude towards Huo Lao and those other Hong Kong businessmen are the same, holding it high, and then standing aside, they talk about theirs, Li Mingbao does his own, there is not much relevance, if there is something to cooperate, then cooperate, if there is a cross-eyebrow and cold face, Li Mingbao will not lose a smile, accept people and things, it's as simple as that. Of course, a person who can handle such a relationship so easily in Hong Kong means that he is not simple, does not ask for others, and does not like others to ask for him.
Li Mingbao came to Huo Lao, and he was the first person to come, so he also had time to come and see Huo Lao's villa. If you want to talk about villas, Li Mingbao now has several in his hands, such as Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay, and Taiping Mountain. But these villas have only just been purchased, and they haven't had time to take care of them, and then they will be renovated according to their liking, and it will take at least two or three months, so until now, Li Mingbao still lives in that small villa and has not moved over. As for buying so many villas, it's not because Li Mingbao has money and no place to spend it, or because he celebrates his previous hand, it's entirely because when he bought these villas, he was trying to buy the bottom. The Hong Kong housing market has been very volatile in the past two years, especially those business buildings, or some new buildings, and some small and medium-sized villas, and the prices have fallen sharply. But these housing prices did not affect the real top villas too much, that is, at the last moment, those British were ready to evacuate, so they released these villas, and then let Li Mingbao and others pick up the cheap.
In fact, Li Mingbao picked up these cheap, they are all few, after all, they are not professionals, like those who do real estate, Li Chaoren has eaten a lot of high-quality properties this time, and if Li Zhaoji hadn't put a lot of money in the foreign exchange market, he could also eat a lot, but even so, Li Zhaoji ate more houses than Li Mingbao, who called him not a professional? Even if the British want to sell the house, they will not find him as a layman in the first place, but those insiders.
On this issue, Li Mingbao didn't pay much attention, anyway, the purpose of buying these houses is to live, and they are not ready to change hands, three or five villas, for their own family, it is just right, and no more, there is only resale, although the profit is still huge, and then until the return, Hong Kong's housing market is very prosperous, sold out around 95 years, and now 10 million Hong Kong dollars of villas, at that time, if there is less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, don't open your mouth at all. But Li Mingbao can't look at this money now, it takes more than ten years of layout to get this money, it is better to honestly get his own industry, and he can get more villas, which is naturally good, even if he doesn't get it, it doesn't matter, anyway, he is not prepared to rely on this to eat.
Huo Lao's side took quite care of Li Mingbao, and specially sent a son to guide Li Mingbao on the side, except for a limited number of places that are not very convenient to enter, Li Mingbao is in Huo Lao's villa, which can be said to be unimpeded. After seeing Huo Lao's villa, Li Mingbao was also worth the trip.
Although Hong Kong has always been known as the most densely populated place in the world, and in fact, a small island, plus the Kowloon area, has a population of five or six million, so many people are crowded here, and it is impossible for the population density to be small.
But the high population density is only relative, for a rich man like Huo Lao, these things are small problems, take Huo Lao's villa as an example, located on Taiping Mountain, and Li Mingbao's newly bought villa is not very far, but it is such a villa, with an area of more than 1,000 square meters, not only a swimming pool, but also a large golf course, plus the villa, if the ground here is not flat, maybe there will be a private golf course. In such a large area, there are not many people living in total, except for Huo Lao himself, his children and grandchildren, in fact, do not live here, but have another place to live, like such a large piece of land, to be placed in the central area, at least can accommodate the accommodation needs of hundreds of people, but this is Huo Lao's private land, even if the governor is not invited, he can't come in.
Therefore, no matter where the rich man is, he is a rich man and has a privileged life. Even in a densely populated place like Hong Kong, Huo Lao's living conditions are not much different from those on the mainland. There is no such thing as land, it is a joke to them, of course, now that Li Mingbao has also entered this class, there are quite a few big brothers who don't say the second brother.
When Li Mingbao admired Huo Lao's villa, other people also came one after another, although Huo Lao's punctuality was half past six, but in the whole of Hong Kong, there are not many people who are really qualified to come to Huo Lao at such a time, even if it is the Hong Kong Governor, in order to show respect, under the conditions of no special circumstances, the Hong Kong Governor will come a few minutes early, instead of stepping on the time, it is easy to make enemies.
In fact, Li Mingbao is also qualified to be late now, even if he comes over in the last few minutes, the other businessmen in Hong Kong can at most say that he does not respect the elderly, but will not say that he is not qualified. But doing this, in fact, is a technical job, need to have professional personnel to guide, although Li Mingbao can afford to hire these professionals, but he does not have this demand, for him, the upper class is also that bird-like, it seems that there are countless etiquette as if it is very high-end, in fact, what is really related, or naked interests, in the circle of interests, even if you understand etiquette and move the interests of others, you can't use etiquette to be able to overturn others, and in the end you have to rely on strength to speak.
So etiquette or something, for Li Mingbao, who is still young, is still a little early, and it doesn't make much sense, maybe he will consider these issues when he really needs it in the future, and now, Li Mingbao can't learn to pretend like that.
This time, Huo Lao invited a lot of people, in fact, there are quite a lot of people, that is, there are people who are not delegations, and even people like Ni Frame are also invited, but Ni Frame also knows what Huo Lao's invitation means this time, so Ni Frame simply does not come, and there are quite a lot of people who do not come, some are under pressure, some are not interested in the mainland, and there are also many banana people, anyway, Huo Lao's invitation was sent out, but less than half of the people who are sure to come. From this point of view, the current Hong Kong people, especially the rich, are not so optimistic about the mainland, so even if Huo Lao has a big face, he can't invite anyone.
It was Li Mingbao who was walking around Huo Lao's villa, and he saw a person, a person who had played him before, and then he played again.
"Xiao Li, I didn't expect you to come so early, I thought you wouldn't come? After all, you've made a lot of money on the British side recently, so you have to give the British a face, right? This is quite yin and yang, and there is a little sour feeling, except for Li Zhaoji, who has recently had a grudge against Li Mingbao, no one else will talk to Li Mingbao like this.
Seeing Li Zhaoji, Li Mingbao knew that he had to play tricks again today.
"Business is business, position is position. My position, even if it is the Hong Kong government, is something that has long been known, so whether I come or not, it is impossible to avoid suspicion, in this case, then why can't I come over generously? On the contrary, it is Mr. Li, I am afraid that the Hong Kong government hates you a little more than me, and if you come here today, I am afraid that the situation is even worse than mine, Mr. Li, are you not afraid? If there is no profit on the black market, Mr. Li, my business will probably be difficult to do. Li Mingbao replied unhurriedly.
Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Li Zhaoji's face darkened a little. For him to be half a financial insider, he naturally knows about the transaction between Li Mingbao and Standard Chartered, and he doesn't know the specific things, but if he doesn't know the general things, he is not Li Zhaoji. Therefore, the grudge between Li Mingbao and the Hong Kong government is really not as big as the grudge between the Hong Kong government and him. Li Mingbao's hand, to put it bluntly, is a willingness to fight, a willingness to suffer, and consensual things, there is no big deal.
On the contrary, it is him Li Zhaoji, who does not earn as much as Li Mingbao this time, but the hatred is definitely full, not only are the other people who lent him money quite dissatisfied, even if it is the Hong Kong government, they will not have a good face for him. After all, his money is an unplanned thing, and he has always been in charge of the black market, when the Hong Kong government stabilized the exchange rate, Li Zhaoji did not hold back his hand, and went up to make a light profit, although he did not earn much, but the Hong Kong government lost a lot.
So if you really want to talk about reputation, Li Zhaoji is on the side of the Hong Kong government, and his reputation is definitely more infamous than Li Mingbao. As for what Li Mingbao said, it is actually the truth, even if Li Mingbao is willing to follow Hong Kong Ying, Hong Kong Ying does not dare to ask Li Mingbao, after all, Li Mingbao's roots are at this level, and it is not a secret thing at all.
