In the hall, Lin Yao was holding champagne and whispering to Nie Leilei.

There were a lot of people nearby, all of them were successful businessmen in their forties and fifties, talking about stocks and real estate, all of which were topics that Lin Yao was not interested in.

Occasionally, his eyes crossed, and he would look stunned when he saw Lin Yao's age.

The people here are all regular businessmen, and the level is relatively high.

doesn't care much about things in the rivers and lakes, Lin Yao's reputation on the road is very loud, but it is difficult to enter the vision of this group of people.

Some who had heard his name recognized him and whispered a few words to others.

One pass two, two pass three, three pass thousands.

Slowly, Lin Yao's identity was no longer a secret, and everyone's gaze towards him became complicated.

"Why is he here?"

"I don't know, could it be that Ji Lao invited me?"

"What's the matter, it's not the same kind of person as us anyway, so it's better to be less reasonable."

"That's it."

The merchants whispered, avoiding Lin Yao's arrival.

It's like he's a plague, and if you get close, you'll be infected, and it's hard for you to fit in with different circles.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Ji, please go in."

Lin Yao knew that he was not popular, and he did not have the idea of sticking a hot face to the cold skin stocks.

But he didn't want to be part of the circle of the medium business group, so he accidentally got an invitation from the circle of the high business group.

"Ji Lao is looking for me?"

Lin Yao was a little puzzled.

Today, Ji Lao celebrates his birthday, and the bigwigs of the Chaozhou business group are here, and it has not been so lively for many years.

At this time, Ji Lao looked for what he could do.

Glancing back at the elevator door, thinking about Li Chaoren and the others who were chatting upstairs, he confirmed again: "Are you calling me?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

The old butler said with a smile.

Lin Yao nodded and patted the back of Nie Leilei's hand: "Wait for me here for a while, I'll go up and have a look." ”

Lin Yao wasn't sure what Ji Lao called him for, so it was not good to take Nie Leilei up with him.

After all, he is not a pure businessman, in case he is called because of some fights and killings, it will not be good for Nie Leilei to hear it.

"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you here."

Nie Leilei chose a table and sat down, and watched Lin Yao get on the elevator.

Nothing to say all the way.

Lin Yao, accompanied by the old housekeeper, quickly took the elevator to the upper floor.

In the eye, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the room, some dressed as business tycoons in suits, and some dressed as police bosses.

Among them was an elderly woman, who looked gray-haired and wore a beige business attire.

If Lin Yao is not mistaken, this old woman is the current financial secretary, the second person in Hong Kong Island politics after the governor.

The demolition of the Kowloon Walled City in 87 was the work of this director and Li Chaoren.

After the demolition of the Kowloon Walled City, most of the land was swallowed up by Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Industries, with which Li Chaoren became the richest man on Hong Kong Island in the 90s.

The disappeared walled city, replaced by commercial streets and high-end apartments, turned into countless wealth, making Li Chaoren earn a lot of money.

"This is Ah Yao, a very shrewd young man, who only came to Hong Kong Island in 83, and in just three years, he has laid a large family business on Hong Kong Island with his bare hands."

Seeing Lin Yao coming up, Ji Lao took the initiative to introduce it to everyone.

"The Emperor of Mong Kok, very majestic."

There was a sarcasm from the big guy.

Lin Yao looked up and saw that it was a high-ranking official in a police uniform who spoke.

The rank is a badge and a star, and the position should be Senior Assistant Commissioner, which is two levels higher than the Chief Superintendent.

There are four such senior assistant commissioners on Hong Kong Island, who are in charge of the Operations Division, the Security Division, the Logistics Division, and the Intelligence Division.

Lin Yao is a mixed party and knows a lot about the intelligence of high-ranking officials in the police circle.

He was recognized the moment he saw him, and his surname was Hou, and he was the senior assistant director in charge of the Operations Division.

He is in charge of the Flying Tigers, the Stormtroopers, the VIP Protection Group, the Police Dog Brigade, and the Heavy Mobile Unit.

is a sworn enemy with Director Cao behind Lu Qichang, although he is from Chaozhou, his camp is on the side of the British, and he is a red-haired ghost.

"Director Hou laughed, I am a serious businessman, you should know that my interest in legitimate business is more than the black industry, and the so-called Mong Kok Emperor is just the imagination of some philistine."

Lin Yao's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but he didn't dare to accept Hou Zhihui's black pot.

"Today is not a public trial, what are you doing with this."

An old man with a pipe spoke.

Lin Yao's identity was not clear, but after he opened his mouth, the director didn't say anything more, obviously he was also a bigwig-level figure.

"Ah Yao, you just came back from the mainland, we called you up just to ask you, what's the situation in your hometown now?"

Li Superman took over the topic.

Looking at Li Chaoren, who was in the prime of life and was less than sixty years old, Lin Yao finally understood the purpose of these people calling him up.

Huo Lao has been making continuous moves in the past two years, building factories and wharves in his hometown, and his big moves have attracted the interest of a large number of investors.

It's just that interest is interest, and the turmoil that ended in 76 has not passed for ten years.

No one is sure that there will not be another turmoil, and it is really not necessary to have money to invest, but also to have courage.

"The wind direction in my hometown is a little unclear, and if you want me to say, it's not a good time to invest."

Lin Yao said.

"Oh, then why do you dare to invest?"

Superman Lee's question goes straight to the core.

"Because my friends will protect me.

You may not believe it, although I have invested in a few large shopping malls there, I don't actually own many shares.

First of all, there is 45% of the shares, which are controlled by the local government, and they contribute the land and I contribute the funds to jointly build a supermarket.

This is a large shopping mall that is nominally mine, but in fact, after completion, I will pay dividends according to the share structure of 5.5 to 4.5, and only half of it really belongs to me.

In this half, there is still a part to be distributed to my good friends, I won't say how many friends I have, anyway, it's quite a lot, and the money earned by these super malls is less than forty percent in my hands.

And that's just for now, when the supermarket becomes profitable, I'm sure more people will come to me.

They will come to be friends with me with conditions that I can't refuse, and in the end, I can't guarantee whether I can keep 30% of the profits.

I think that the current investment conditions are very harsh, and you may not be able to do anything if you go.

It's not for you big businessmen to invest over there. ”

Lin Yao smiled.

He didn't lie, and even said it modestly in some places.

Hearing his words, all the bigwigs present looked at each other, and Li Chaoren, who was the most sensitive to business behavior, frowned even more and whispered: "Is the situation so bad?" ”

"It's difficult today, it's difficult tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow it could be even harder."

Lin Yao said with self-deprecation in his tone, and spread his hands and said: "You don't have to look at me, I also kneel to make money, make money, kneel is not ashamed." ”

"Can't you just stand and make money?"

One of Hong Kong's double Lis, the fourth uncle Li Jizhao said.

"I can't make it, the 5,000-year-old official-based world will not become a capital position because of a change.

What's more, now in my hometown, there is still a debate around the issue of names, and there are many people in the surname society.

You go to invest, he cards you, and doesn't help you.

I can't do anything I want, I kick the ball in various departments, and I want to vomit blood.

It's not interesting to vote less.

Hundreds of millions, billions of dollars will be invested, delayed for three or five months, and then delayed next spring, if you want to withdraw your capital, who can afford to play. ”

Lin Yao said it very bluntly.

The current Tang Kingdom is not suitable for outsiders to invest, unless you have an extremely hard background and don't care about losses, just like Huo Lao.

The others should wash and sleep.

This problem was difficult to solve for several years, until in '92, when he shouted: "Whoever opposes the reform should be put to sleep." ”

At this point, Tang Guo ushered in the first batch of investment booms, completely blowing the spring breeze of reform.

Prior to this, overseas investments were all tentative investments.

You invest in a hotel, I invest in a factory, it's all a face-saving project, and making money is not the main purpose.

Many of them made money after investing, and after recovering the principal, they donated the factory to the state free of charge, and did not use it to make a profit at all.

Strictly speaking, this is not a commercial practice.

Li Chaoren is considered to be the first batch of businessmen to do business in the mainland in the true sense.

In 1993, he led the Chaozhou business group to invest 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in Yanjing to build Oriental Plaza.

This shot is the first shot to start domestic investment.

So everyone asked him if he could invest now.

Lin Yao's answer was very cautious, these people are not him, and they have no relationship with him, and now they will have to invest eighty percent of them.

I'm sure I'm going to get in trouble with him when I turn around.
