Chapter 270: A Trip to Xiangjiang
Xiangjiang is a small natural island located on the east side of the Pearl River estuary, with an area of 1,100 square kilometers and a population of 8 million.
After World War II, Xiangjiang entered a stage of rapid development, and in the 80s of the 20th century, Xiangjiang was known as the Four Asian Tigers.
The Hong Kong River is roughly composed of 3 islands, the main ones are Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula and New Territories Island.
Between Xiangjiang and Pengcheng, there is only a small river, and the Haojiang River in the west is across the sea, and the distance is only about 60 kilometers.
In the 7th and 80s of the last century, in order to realize their dreams, many people risked their lives to 'swim' to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong people called this kind of "mainland boy" or "old watch".
Since 97 years later, the cross-strait comprehensive exchanges have begun, and millions of people travel and shop from Pengcheng to Xiangjiang every year.
Those explosive purchasing power completely hurt the self-esteem of Hong Kong people.
In the eyes of many people, as long as those from the mainland are put on the 'colored definition', they do not have the enthusiasm that their compatriots should have in the face of mainlanders, and they have long maintained a proud posture and measured each other by strict moral standards.
This is the reason why Yang Ye has not dealt with the people of Xiangjiang very much.
Of course, not all people in Hong Kong regard themselves as superior, and there are many cities in the mainland that attack each other.
This hostility is caused by the fact that the cultural structure is different from the surrounding environment.
For example, Nanzhou, which is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, where most of the farmland is located, and there is no toilet for seventeen or eighteen miles, so people are accustomed to 'local convenience'.
As soon as I came to other cities, the unfamiliar environment and the indifference of the big city. These outsiders do not dare to communicate with the locals, and they can't bear to make uncivilized behaviors.
Is this considered morally low?
On the contrary, people who are often in high-level positions maintain a relatively balanced posture, such as Li Jiacheng, who is very rich.
Two days later, Mr. Li will celebrate his 85th birthday, and his family members living in Mid-Levels have been preparing for a family banquet early in the morning, and their relatives and friends in overseas parts of the country have returned to Hong Kong one after another as soon as they received the notice.
In addition, there is one more thing that the old man should be happy about, that is, the upcoming visit of 'Yang Ye Ma Qingyun and his party'.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, a large number of reporters and tourists gathered in Xiangjiang International Airport, and Li Wenhua and Li Hongshan, father and son, who were in charge of the reception of the Li family, came to the airport VIP lounge early in the morning to wait.
Today, Yang Ye and his entourage have a large number of people, except for Liu Feiyan and Wang Yan. There are also representatives of the merchants. Ma Qingyun, Liu Huan, Liang Qiufeng and others have a total of 32 people.
Each of them is now worth more than 1 billion yuan, and with the water purification liquid that has recently been put into production and the money earned from the contract, the per capita net worth has about doubled!
Their current money adds up to 2 times the net worth of the Li family. Ma Qingyun alone has money in his hands. It's enough to be comparable to Mr. Li. Coupled with Liang Qiufeng, the inconspicuous rich second generation, it is enough to shock those rich people in Xiangjiang.
However, the person who made them really feel 'afraid' was Yang Ye, the leader of these ordinary merchants.
A psychopath no more than 25 years old. A spiritual leader who brought this group together in just 2 years.
The business community in Xiangjiang believes that Yang Ye brought so many people to Xiangjiang this time, not simply for tourism, but to seek partners.
Sure enough.
While they were staring at the TV and guessing, Li Hongshan and Li Wenhua, descendants of the Li family, appeared on the news screen.
International airport.
"Mr. Yang, let me introduce you, this is my father Li Hongshan." Li Wenhua pointed at his father and smiled.
"Hello Uncle Lee."
Yang Ye shook hands with him with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that my uncle was only two years older than my father, but ten years younger than him. β
"Haha, the virtuous nephew has won the award."
Li Hongshan exchanged a few words, and then looked at Liu Feiyan, Liu Huan and others.
After some introduction, everyone left Xiangjiang Airport by car and went to the Li family's mid-level villa.
The mid-levels here do not mean 'half-mountainside', but refer to the mid-levels of the Xiangjiang River.
Mid-levels is a gathering place for the wealthy, and most of the rich such as Li Jiacheng live here, including domestic smash hit film and television stars such as Stephen Chow.
Before coming, Yang Ye had already agreed with Ma Qingyun that after having lunch at Li's house at noon, he would go to Stephen Chow's residence to visit him in the evening. The next day, we went to Haojiang to meet Sir Ho.
Regarding his relationship with Stephen Chow, we have to start with a business party.
At that time, Stephen Chow saw Ma Qingyun for the first time, and when he saw that he was not good-looking, he thought he was the hotel's 'little brother', so he chatted with him, and asked him to do things and give tips.
As a result, when the party started, Stephen Chow learned that he was the owner of a company (Ali was not famous at that time).
Ma Qingyun has the impression that the number one comedy star in Asia does have a big temper, but he is not as difficult to get along with as he says on TV and the news, but he is very strict in doing things, even to the point of being harsh.
Recently, a lot of gossip about Mr. Zhou has inexplicably appeared on the Internet, and this time Ma Qingyun came just to comfort this old friend by the way.
The Li family in the middle of the mountain.
"Oh, the vase can't be placed like this, you have to face the mouth of the bottle inward, otherwise the wealth will pour out."
"You, be careful, quickly wipe off this water stain, the guests will slip when they come."
"Ah Shrimp Ah Shui, go and see if the eldest young master has come ......"
"Ah Xia, you go to the kitchen and see how the dishes are. Mr. Yang's ancestral hometown in Nanzhou should have a heavy taste, so he asked the kitchen to cook more Lu dishes......"
"Also, the saltiness should be moderate, and umami is the most important ......"
"Hehe, Lao Hong, don't command the juniors there. Come and play chess with me. β
Looking at the busy old housekeeper Hong Yu, Mr. Li couldn't help laughing.
He smiled, and those employees who had complained were also much more comfortable.
When Hong Lao was young, he followed Li Jiacheng to run the dock together, and he paid the most attention to righteousness and did things the most attentively in his life.
Although he has less than primary school education, his understanding of traditional Chinese culture does not belong to mainland scholars at all, and he is responsible for the whole Li family.
With the recent age, Hong Yu has gradually converged a lot. If put in the past. He had already been furious because of the water stains on the ground.
"Alas, this Aaron is good at everything, but he is so-so. Don't blame him, sir. β
"Hehe, when did I say I blamed him?"
Li Jiacheng smiled and handed him a newspaper and said, "Come and see ......."
"Infinite Dream signs hundreds of millions of euros contract with the Swedish royal family......"
Seeing this, Hong Yu took off his glasses and asked, "Yang Ye has begun to lay out to Europe?" β
"Not bad."
Li Jiacheng said while drinking tea: "In the Americas, Yang Ye already has a collaborator, and Europe now has another Swedish royal family......"
"In Asia, there are countries that do business with them, and the sales channels are very easy to solve."
"The only channel we can get him interested in now is in Southeast Asia. There are also South African countries. β
"But I can't eat this alone. We must find the He family to cooperate, and the chips of our two families will add up to ......"
"I don't think that's necessary, right?"
Li Jiacheng's second son, Li Hongze, said: "The more people join, the less profit margins there are. Yang Ye shouldn't ask for too much licensing fees. β
"Besides, Uncle Ho is in the casino business. Yang Ye will not be interested in casinos either. β
"Then you'd be wrong."
Li Jiacheng lit a cigarette and said:
"If I'm not mistaken. Yang Ye is ready to close the net. Now he is one of the three major technology product partners. Basically controlling the global channels, we are dispensable to him. β
"So you can't get the technology if you don't use dim sum."
"Another, don't underestimate your Uncle He. He's 'old and confused' now. But the He family is not only the gambling king in Haojiang, but they also have shares in major European manufacturing companies, which are enough to exchange for the patented technology of water purification liquid. β
"Again, there has been a recent change in state policy, and his casino business is declining. If you don't take the opportunity to change careers, they will be the ones who will die when the time comes! β
"Master, the eldest young master and Mr. Yang are here!"
While the Li family father and son were talking, a maid hurriedly came in and said.
When I came to the door, I saw a row of seven-person extended Mercedes-Benz cars slowly stopping.
Yang Ye first got out of the car with Ma Qingyun and his entourage, and then Liu Feiyan and others......
"Hehe, what a hero. Seeing Mr. Yang and all of you today, Jiacheng really feels old. β
"Mr. Li is too modest. This is my fiancΓ©e......"
After two words of greeting, everyone was invited into the Li family's villa.
The wide hall and the servants waiting for each other make the Li family show the demeanor of a big family.
At the dinner table, Yang Ye, Li Jiacheng and others did not talk about business, they were all talking about family trivialities. It was during the chatting that Yang Ye learned that Old Man Li was going to celebrate his birthday recently.
After the luncheon, Yang Ye accepted Li Jiacheng's invitation to attend his birthday dinner, and in the evening, everyone went to the hotel arranged by the Li family, and Yang Ye, Ma Qingyun and others diverted to Stephen Chow's residence.
Stephen Chow's mid-levels villa is not far from his home, and he can occasionally see some familiar stars on TV near the villa complex.
When I came to the house, it was Mother Zhou and Sister Zhou who were in charge of the reception, and Master Xing was now in the company and couldn't come back for the time being.
"Oh, Mr. Yang and Mr. Ma really make us shine, Ah Xia doesn't go to pour tea." Mother Zhou said happily.
What are the identities of Yang Ye and Ma Qingyun now, she has heard about them on TV, especially Lao Ma.
For Hong Kong people who pay attention to their value, Ma Qingyun is the mainland's 'Li Ka-shing'.
However, because of media propaganda, Yang Ye mistakenly thought that he was just a simple 'Nobel Prize scientist', and the people of Xiangjiang did not understand the current situation of Pingshang at all.
"Aunt is really well maintained, what skin care products do you use every day, can you teach me?" Feiyan grabbed Zhou's mother and said.
"Hehe, it's all some bargains. For women, the most important thing is to regulate menstruation and replenish blood...... Oh, Mr. Yang, look at it casually, Ah Xing just called, and he came over in half an hour. β
As she spoke, Zhou's mother began to excitedly talk to Liu Feiyan and other women about women, while Yang Ye and these men wandered around the room.
Just five minutes later, the sound of broken glass woke everyone up!
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it might be that bastard kid playing with a slingshot again, Ah Xia, you go and take a look."
Mother Zhou's face changed at first when she heard the voice, but she quickly recovered.
Sister Zhou looked at everyone apologetically, and went to check the situation with a blue face.
The instantaneous changes in the faces of the two told Yang Ye that they seemed to have encountered something difficult, but they had unspeakable hardships.
