Since the British colonization of Hong Kong, British law has largely been adopted, but in some areas the Chinese in Hong Kong have been allowed to continue to practice traditional Chinese customs. The concubinage system was one of them, and it was not until 1971 that the Marriage Reform Act came into force that concubinage was officially banned in Hong Kong.

Macau, on the other hand, has been governed by Portuguese law in parallel with the Qing Dynasty since it became a Portuguese colony. According to the treaty at the time, it was not until 1999, after Macao's return to China, that the Qing Dynasty Law could be completely abolished, which prohibited concubinage.

In Hong Kong and Macao, the outbreak of a war over property between wealthy families has always been a gossip news talked about by the whole society. The most direct reason for the frequent chaos of property competition for wealthy families is that at that time, there were few wealthy people who did not marry a few wives, and left many families and children after their deaths.

Ordinary people will wonder: why don't those rich people make wills and arrange the distribution of property properly when they are in good health and conscious? Why do you always have to leave some unclear places, let your wife and children quarrel endlessly, and even go to court, laughing and generous?

In fact, the reason is very simple: if the family property is divided very early, although the dispute can be settled, it will make the children lose the hope of "fighting for a little more", and they may no longer be so filial to their parents. Therefore, those rich people with a group of wives and concubines would rather delay making a will, so that each child thinks that he still has a chance to fight for an extra share. In this way, they will not worry about no one around them, whether it is true or false, and it is better than being ignored and waiting for death alone.

This is also the reason why in this palatial restaurant, King He Gamble, like the emperor, is favored by his wife and concubines and children in every way. It's a pity that Sun Ziming made a big deal of disgust to He Gambling King.

“…… Emperor Kangxi never expected that after his death, his sons would be imprisoned and persecuted by his successors, and even insulted as 'Aqina' and 'Seth Hei', which means that pigs and dogs are inferior. Hey, this is the famous Nine Kings in Qing history. ”

Sun Ziming's mocking compassion made the members of the He family stunned, and also made the face of He Gambling King very exciting, and it can be regarded as seeing what it means to be a 'true celebrity who is also crazy and chivalrous, can cry and sing and sell vulgar streams'.

However, people are all cheap bones, no one listens to good words, and the evil voice is shocking. Sun Ziming's undisguised ridicule, in addition to disgusting the He family, also added an extra layer of respect.

Huo Ye, who was watching the excitement next to him, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Boy, a few years ago, you were just hiding clumsy, but now you have the confidence to mock Ah Shen?" Well, young people have to have that kind of faith! What a gambling king, but an old guy with better luck, you have to be born in that era, and you are guaranteed to be more successful than him! ”

Sun Ziming didn't take it randomly, smiled politely, and continued to pick up chopsticks to eat. Respect for the elderly, not to mention that people are indeed a generation of heroes. If you don't have the opportunity to live a new life, you don't deserve to lift shoes.

The gambling king is also happy, and the transfer is a guest, not to mention that people are still distinguished guests. Don't look at this young man really young, but he is definitely qualified to judge his old guys, at least at his age, he is definitely not half as successful as him! No matter where you are, strength is always the most important, not to mention that this is a business family.

After Sun Ziming finished a tragic "History of the Qing Dynasty", the lively restaurant became quiet. Except for the two old men, the rest of the people no longer dared to treat Sun Ziming as a young man who could be treated equally or even looked down on, let alone say anything more tentative. However, Sun Zi was obviously arrogant, and Xiao Qi was a little uneasy, until his fifth brother stepped on him under the table, and then he became calm and calm. It is precisely this self-confidence that can be so calm in the face of the people of the world, which makes the second wife of the He family extremely satisfied.

After a luncheon with a strange atmosphere, Huo Ye also explained the things that the He family cared about on behalf of the Sun family brothers. Businessmen are interested in interests and contracts, and they are accustomed to quantifying everything and then weighing the pros and cons.

However, what all the members of the He family, including He Zhaoqiong, did not expect was that Xiao Qi, as the founder of the Sun Group, only had shares in the Carrefour supermarket chain and electrical appliance stores, and did not hold shares in Far Eastern Bank, Hanhua Energy, Hanhua Electronics, Guangsha Group, Light and Shadow Group, etc. Moreover, Xiao Qi's shares in the two chain enterprises are also less than they expected, accounting for less than 10%.

Facing the strange gaze of the He family, Sun Ziming said calmly: "Xiao Qi is my younger brother, but how much effort to get as many shares." The other companies were founded by me, my third brother and a few friends, and he didn't contribute, so naturally he didn't have shares. In our Sun family, it is impossible to get something without work. ”

The second wife's face was a little uncomfortable, she thought that her daughter was married to a golden beetle son-in-law, but she didn't expect that she was also a child of a new wealthy family who was a highlight. He gambling king does not see it that way, and when he reaches his status, he has seen through the essence of wealth: for ordinary people, wealth is the basis of consumption and a necessary condition for survival; For the rich, wealth is the control of the economy.

Xiao Qi seems to be worth less than expected, but he controls two of the largest and most cash-flowing mega companies in the mainland. In a sense, his economic status is higher than that of He Gambling King, but the Sun family is used to being low-key and not used to being hype. To put it bluntly, Hong Kong is a small pond, Macao is just a small puddle, and the mainland is a vast ocean!

"Ziming, if the elders of your family have no opinions, I would like to invite them to come to Macao to have a look. In the future, if you want to be relatives, you will naturally have to move around more, you see? ”

Sun Ziming bowed slightly and said respectfully: "This is natural, love is free, and marriage still has to be handled by elders." ”

The gambling king laughed and beckoned to the butler standing by the door, "Ah Fu, give No. 1 Repulse Bay Road to Ah Long and Ah Joong, and treat it as their future residence in Hong Kong." ”

The clever Xiao Qi hurriedly got up and changed his words: "Father-in-law doesn't need to, my brother has already given me the house on the top of the mountain, and my parents are used to living there." ”

The gambling king and the second wife were stunned, the property could not be bought with money, and the people living on the top of the mountain were all high-ranking officials of the British government in Hong Kong, which itself symbolized the superior social status. Huo Ye didn't expect that Sun Ziming would actually give such a symbolic property to Xiao Qi.

In the strange gaze again, Sun Ziming smiled and said freely: "Let everyone laugh, I naturally like the liveliness of the market." If it weren't for the fact that he is famous now, it is estimated that he would sit on the food stall with two or three friends every day and brag and drink. ”

Although He Gambling King has Jewish ancestry, he grew up in the Chinese world, and he knew the meaning of the Sun brothers' words after a little stunned, and couldn't help but look at his daughter with some concern. After pondering for a while, the relationship between father and daughter reminded King He, "Arjun, do you know the meaning of 'marrying a chicken with a chicken'?" ”

He Zhaoqiong, who was already excited, hurriedly said: "Daddy, when the fifth brother chatted with me last night, he said, 'The rain drops in front of the eaves, and the bits and pieces look like old marks', which means that parents are the best role models for their children, and I will definitely honor my parents as I honor you." ”

The familiar sentence of 'rain dripping in front of the eaves, bit by bit like old marks', made the gambling king He who was already over the age of ten years sad, and said after a while: "Ah Fu, No. 1 Repulse Bay Road will give Ah Qiong a dowry." ”

"Yes, sir"

……

Sending away the Sun brothers and the daughter who was about to get married, the second wife looked a little unhappy, and Huo Ye, who stayed to discuss business with his old friend, couldn't help but shake his head, secretly sighing that women are all 'long hair and short knowledge'. The population of the mainland is 100 times that of Hong Kong and Macau, and the managers of two super-large enterprises are not worthy of the daughter of a Macau gambling king? What's more, the two brothers of the family, one is more capable than the other, and can still treat their youngest brother badly?

He Gambling King was not so troubled, he had many children under his knees, and if he worried about each of them, it would not be enough to split him into more than a dozen parts.

"Alright, don't worry about it, Arjun is smarter than you. You go and do your own business, I'll talk to Ah Dong about something. ”

"Oh", the second wife left with a loss, and the two old friends also went to the study.

The marriage of the old and new wealthy families, in addition to the personal affairs of the children, will definitely be accompanied by a lot of business cooperation, otherwise why are those wealthy families keen on marriage?

It's just that Sun Ziming's cooperation plan made He Gambling King a little unexpected.

The last time Sun Ziming asked the Huo family to check the list of transactions, it was in the name of big business, and now that the mastermind behind the scenes has found out, he naturally has to fulfill his promise. It's just that Sun Ziming didn't expect that by chance, there was still the possibility of reconciliation between the two families, and when he went home this morning, all those eye-catching things had been removed, and the two sides were clear, so naturally the Li family's idea couldn't be beaten. No matter where you are, if you want to achieve great things, the more friends you have, the better, and the fewer enemies you have.

Fortunately, there are many investment opportunities, and Sun Ziming also happened to use the influence of Huo and He to expand the business scope of Hanhua Energy a little more. Formosa Plastics can draw a big pie for the central government with a 'canghai' plan, and his grandson may not be able to make more of a fuss about the Siberian oil and gas fields.

Huo Ye told Sun Ziming's plan and inventory, which scared He Gambling Wang, the petrochemical industry is not an entertainment industry or a real estate industry, which not only requires a large amount of capital but also technology and market, and is greatly affected by domestic politics and the international energy market.

This is not a small business, the gambling king thought about it for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Can the mainland agree?" It's not easy for the Sun family to pry open an opening, and will they be allowed to be so large-scale? ”

Huo Ye is known as the 'red capitalist', has an excellent relationship with the upper echelons, and agrees with Sun Ziming's plan very much, and explained in a low voice: "That's why he pulled us together?" Wang Yongqing's plan for the sea was only shelved because of Taiwan's political reasons, and if it were not for those obstacles, it might have been completed and put into operation long ago. Since there is a precedent for allowing Taiwanese to invest in monopoly industries, we must be treated the same as Hong Kong and Macao, otherwise how can our political status in Hong Kong be reflected? This is a fundamental issue that has a bearing on the future legal relations between the three regions, and it will not be hindered whether they are in power or not. ”

After explaining, Huo Ye pointed on the globe again, "See, the Russian oil and gas fields here are all owned by the Far East Group, and the Far East Group is in the hands of Yang Guozhong." In other words, these are indirectly controlled in the hands of Ziming.

As long as we cooperate with the Far Eastern Group and cross-sharehold, we will have a stable source of raw materials, coupled with the rapid development of the mainland's economy, the restart of the Canghai plan will be no less than a gambling money printing machine! ”

He Gambling King nodded excitedly, this is the real big business, Hong Kong and Macao are such a small place, how can there be such a good investment opportunity? Even if you invest overseas, you are not familiar with the place, not to mention the huge risk, and it is not conducive to nearby management.

However, thinking of the troubles in front of him, He Gambling King was a little hesitant again.

"Adong, what kind of person is that Sun Ziming? Is it the kind of person you can trust? ”

Huo Ye was agitated and whispered: "Gambling cards? ”

"Huh?"

"What do you want to do?"

He Gambling King hesitated, and shook his head slowly, he didn't think about that matter. The other party's conditions are very generous, but the additional conditions are also very difficult. Looking at Sun Ziming's appearance today, he will not be a good person, and if he wants to sacrifice part of his interests to help himself, it is estimated that he is seeking skin with the tiger.
