Chapter 10 Cheung Kong Industrial
The three elders of the Zhong family all looked at Zhong Shi in unison, and even Liu Lan, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the side, stopped and stared at his son with a strange look.
"Are you all looking at me?" Even though Zhong Shi had decades of life experience, he couldn't stand the inquiring gaze of these elders, and he complained quietly.
"Come on, let's smoke a cigarette, let's talk in the house!"
Liao Chengde saw that everyone was stunned, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, he had an idea, took out a cigarette from his arms, handed them to the three men of the Zhong family one by one, and coaxed them back to the hall, and then squeezed Zhong Shi's eyes.
Zhong Shi glared at him angrily, and followed him into the hall, since he couldn't hide, he had to face it hard.
Liao Chengde has lived in Hong Kong for 20 years and has long been integrated into life there. Hong Kong is different from mainland China in that it has a strong atmosphere left over from the old society.
In the old society, there was such a saying, which said that walking the rivers and lakes, there were three kinds of people who were more special, and it could also be said to be dangerous.
One is the monks, such as monks and Taoists, the second is women, and the more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous, and the third is the child. Therefore, with Liao Chengde's current net worth and status, he does not have the slightest contempt for children like Zhong Shi.
After everyone sat down, Liao Chengde thought for a long time, and then said cautiously:
"I won't tell you the truth, I do some small business in Hong Kong, so I won't say much about the specifics. Two days ago, I heard from my subordinates that there was a little friend named Zhong Shi who said that there was something important to discuss, so I took the liberty to come here this time, and I ask you not to blame! ”
"Hey, old fellow, what did I say?"
Before anyone else could react, Zhong Shi said in a weird way, of course he didn't want to admit that he had said something shocking.
"Little rock, shut up! How do you talk to your elders! How do I teach you so rudely? ”
Zhong Jianjun scolded Zhong Shi all the time, and slapped his head at the end, but the slap was very light, obviously not really angry.
"Since it's not the government's business, then I, the old man, will go back first!" Although Zhong Shi's words were not polite, where could he hide Zhong Fangzhuo's eyes, he was old and refined, and understood that this grandson didn't want to talk about things in front of people, so he sat for a while and then offered to leave.
"Dad, big brother, it's all a family, what's not to say openly?" Seeing his father like this, Zhong Jianjun quickly got up to stop his father, and at the same time glared at Zhong Shi dissatisfiedly, this time he was really angry.
Seeing his father's stern eyes, Zhong Shi also panicked, so he could only tell the truth:
"Grandpa, uncle, I am looking for this Mr. Liao, in fact, I want to do some business with him!"
"Doing business? What kind of business did you do at a young age? Zhong Fangzhuo asked strangely. He has two grandsons, a granddaughter, the eldest grandson is angry, admitted to the most famous school in China, the eldest granddaughter in the school is also good, the teacher said that it is possible to be admitted to the county high school, now there is only this little grandson, but he is still young, and now there is no need to worry about anything.
The Zhong family is a scholarly family, and they have been proud of reading and learning for generations, and they look down on businessmen from the roots, Zhong Fangzhuo was unhappy when he heard Zhong Shi say this, and he didn't even notice the strangeness shown by this little grandson.
Zhong Jianguo was careful and found the strangeness in it, why did this Mr. Liao come all the way to come with a very humble attitude? And judging by the attitude of the previous cadre, this Mr. Liao does not look like a person who is easily deceived.
Seeing that the little grandson was silent, Zhong Fangzhuo was so angry that he stomped his feet, he stood up tremblingly, and said in a stern tone:
"You talk, you talk!"
With that, he brushed his sleeves and left. When the two brothers Zhong Jianguo and Zhong Jianjun saw it, they hurriedly followed, and whispered in his ear.
"It's... This..."Liao Chengde looked at this change in amazement, and was speechless for a long time.
"Liao Sheng, let's go out for a walk!" Zhong Shi also felt helpless in his heart, but he also knew that it was impossible for his stubborn grandfather to accept the reality for a while, so he could only persuade slowly in the future.
Liao Chengde followed behind Zhong Shi, said hello to Liu Lan, and walked out of the courtyard and walked around.
With Santana's departure, most of the onlookers dispersed, and there were not a few people left near Zhong Shi's house, Zhong Shi called "uncle" and "aunt" sweetly as he walked, leaving Liao Chengde behind him, nodding awkwardly.
When he arrived at a place where there was no one around, Liao Chengde said:
"Zhong Xiaoyou, I would have been skeptical, but as soon as I saw it, I felt that what you said might be true, and it seems that I really didn't run in vain this time."
"Nonsense, of course I won't let you run for nothing, as long as you listen to me in the future, I will ensure that you will have a lot of money in the future, and you will make money every day." Zhong Shi said angrily.
Where had Liao Chengde ever seen someone talking to him like this, he was suddenly a little dazed, and stood in place for a while, speechless.
"What? Gangcan, don't you believe what I say? You must have heard of Cheung Kong in Hong Kong! When Zhong Shi saw Liao Chengde's appearance, he thought he didn't believe it, and continued to say in a mocking tone.
"Cheung Kong? Li? How do you know? Liao Chengde was stunned when he heard this, but he thought about it and laughed a little dumbly, at this time Li Ka-shing was already well-known on Hong Kong Island, and it was not surprising that people in the mainland knew about it.
Li Ka-shing, born in 1928 in Chaozhou, eastern Guangdong, 40 years in order to escape the Japanese invasion, the family fled to Hong Kong, since then began a legendary life, he worked as a teahouse runner, clock repairman, hardware factory salesman, and later founded his own plastic factory "Yangtze River Plastics", in 58 years, officially entered the real estate industry, 72 years, became a famous tycoon on Hong Kong Island, in 79 years, "Cheung Kong Industrial" and the Chinese ship king Bao Yugang teamed up, with a price of 620 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire the old British firm" Hutchison Whampoa" has a 22.4% stake, becoming the first Chinese to acquire a British-funded commercial bank.
In the 80s, "Cheung Kong Industrial" grew by leaps and bounds and became a leading enterprise in Hong Kong's real estate industry, and Li Ka-shing's wealth doubled as a result, and he became the richest Chinese man, and since then Zhong Shi is still the richest Chinese in the world.
In 1984, Huaying signed the "Joint Declaration" on Hong Kong, the two sides agreed to return Hong Kong to the Chinese government by the British in 97, with the political prospects and the recovery of Hong Kong's economy, the real estate industry entered a 10-year boom period, in this good period of industry development, Li Ka-shing's "Cheung Kong Industrial" became the biggest winner.
"Cheung Kong Industrial" was listed in Hong Kong on November 1, 1972, taking advantage of the opportunity of the big bull market to raise a large amount of funds and invest in the real estate industry, by the end of 1981, the market value of "Cheung Kong Industrial" has surged from the initial 126 million Hong Kong dollars to 7.877 billion Hong Kong dollars, becoming the second largest real estate company after Hongkong Land.
Although it is already 1984, Zhong Shi knows in his heart that the development of "Cheung Kong Industrial" has just begun, and in the next few years, with the large-scale expansion of "Cheung Kong Industrial" and the arrival of the big bull market of Hang Seng, the stock price of "Cheung Kong Industrial" will soar sharply.
Zhongshi's first pot of gold was aimed at "Changjiang Industrial".
"Nonsense, of course I know Li Ka-shing, he's Chinese... Big shot! Zhong Shi was so quick that he almost said that he was the richest man in China.
Although Li Ka-shing was already a famous tycoon on Hong Kong Island at that time, compared with some old tycoons, he was still a little worse, compared to the Bao family and the Huo family, Li Ka-shing could only be regarded as a rising star.
“
So what do I do? Liao Chengde is a businessman, and after listening to Zhong Shi's words, he blurted out a question.
"Hehe, naturally I went all out to buy the shares of Cheung Kong Industrial, and then sat back and waited for the penny!" Zhong Shi was not afraid that he would cross the river and tear down the bridge, so he said loudly.
"Aren't you afraid that after I hear it, I'll turn around and leave, and won't cooperate with you?" Liao Chengde asked strangely. He listened to Zhong Shi's words, and he didn't think about it, although Cheung Kong was very strong, but because it often issued new shares, the stock price has been hovering between 5 and 6 Hong Kong dollars.
"Hehe, I'm scared to death, but if you miss me, I think you'll regret it later!" Zhong Shi smiled, but instead he opened up Liao Chengde.
"There is also that Dingyao porcelain bowl, which is estimated to be worth 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and you can help me exchange all of them for the shares of 'Changjiang Industrial'. You have to remember that I definitely don't just make money through stocks, and you will have a lot of opportunities to make money in the future! ”
Liao Chengde listened to Zhong Shi's words, his face was sunny for a while, and he obviously couldn't make up his mind.
Liao Chengde naturally knows about stocks, but speculating in stocks is risky, and it is far less profitable than reselling cultural relics. However, he also has concerns, with the development of the mainland's economy and the government's control over the smuggling of cultural relics, his bowl of rice is becoming more and more unpalatable.
He invested in industry between two provinces and one city for the sake of the future.
"What? Still undecided? Zhong Shi saw that Liao Chengde didn't speak for a long time, so he couldn't help but pout, and a sneer appeared on his face.
This Mr. Liao was obviously smuggled to Hong Kong before, or he wouldn't be so fluent in Mandarin in private. This Mr. Liao is even more hateful, and he actually engaged in the business of smuggling cultural relics, which is even more disgusting.
If there was a choice, Zhong Shi would not choose him as his agent, now it depends on how he chooses!
Liao Chengde looked at the self-proclaimed eight-year-old child in front of him again, it felt like a dream, he gritted his teeth, and then said:
"I believe your words for the time being, and I will invest some money in the 'Changjiang Industrial', if I can't do the 20 times the income you said, then the cooperative relationship between us will end."
"You will not be disappointed, let's limit it to three years, and you will definitely be proud of today's decision, let's sign an agreement, and bring a formal entrustment contract when you come next time!" Zhong Shi also breathed a sigh of relief, it was difficult to contact people from Hong Kong and Taiwan these days, and now that he finally found one, he didn't want to spend any more energy to find another one.
"What, to sign a contract? Can't you trust me? Liao Chengde screamed, he couldn't believe what he heard, is this child really eight years old?
