"Boss ......"

Luo Hou waved his hand to stop the assistant's report, and watched her stop talking, knowing very well in his heart what she was going to say, it was nothing more than some ghosts or gangsters, seeing that their business was so profitable, they all suffered from pink eye. It's just that as soon as his next plan is launched, under the pressure of the general trend, those clowns who are about to move will not be able to take care of themselves, and now this dilemma will naturally be solved.

For the poor, of course, it is dangerous. At present, Hong Kong can be described as a mixed bag, smuggling is hot, gangsters are piled up, and most of the more than 100 ports in Hong Kong are controlled by the double-spat red sticks of various gangsters.

In particular, this year, the Kuomintang was defeated, gangsters including Du Yuesheng and other bigwigs fled Hong Kong, and more than 80 percent of the wealthy businessmen and tycoons and warlord gang leaders in Shanghai in the old era gathered in Hong Kong. At this time, in Hong Kong, except for the local aborigines, there was no concept of Hong Kong people at all.

Shanghai is the most well-known, most common and most upscale name.

For dinner, the most well-known restaurant must be invited from Shanghai, and the signboard must also have the name of Shanghai; Clothes, the most famous, must be the well-known handmade clothing shop in Shanghai that once cut clothes for the President of the United States; Entertainment, the most lively and powerful, is the Retiro Garden opened by the Shanghai Qinggang boss Li Jufa.

These rich people have accumulated wealth over the years of hard work in Shanghai, and they are so rich and extravagant that even the ghosts are shocked.

In Hong Kong in this era, with money, it can basically be said that there is everything.

Luo Hou looked at his lawyer, "William, what happened to the incident I said before I left last time?" ”

Lawyer William put his finger on his glasses and replied very seriously, "Boss, the current head of the Kadoorie family, Roland? Mr. Kadoorie, I was very interested in your offer of cooperation, and replied that I wanted to meet you for afternoon tea just the day after your last departure, at the Peninsula Hotel. It depends on your schedule, and Mr. Lorence said that he wants to do it as soon as possible. ”

Luo Hou nodded, indicating that he already knew, and he was not surprised that the meeting place was at the Peninsula Hotel, after all, this was the Kadoorie family's own place, whether it was for secrecy or security, it was the best choice.

It's just that I didn't expect that Kadoorie, who had already begun to make a fortune, had such a keen sense of smell, and decided to cooperate with him only the next day, after more than half a day of investigation?

Should it be said that the Kadoorie family has been elevated to the top family in Hong Kong, and the future tycoon Lorence who was knighted by the Queen of England? Kadoorie?

"Reply to three o'clock this afternoon, the venue will be arranged by Mr. Roland."

Luo Hou nodded to lawyer William, acknowledging his work.

This lawyer William immediately changed his appearance, his spirit rose a lot, and he already had a premonition that his career would usher in a new peak.

3 p.m., The Peninsula.

William, who was notified, told him that Roland had arrived at a room at the Peninsula Hotel and was waiting for Roho to go.

Already waiting? So enthusiastic? Sure enough, it's a workaholic!

The other party was so enthusiastic, Luo Hou didn't want to slack off, so he quickly called the lawyer and assistant, and walked quickly towards the agreed room. Kadoorie is already waiting.

Lorantz? Kadoorie was born in Hong Kong in 1899 into a Jewish merchant family. His father, Erie? When Kadoorie came to Hong Kong from Shanghai in his early years, he had only 500 yuan on him. He used the money to open a stock brokerage firm, and with Jewish shrewdness, Kadoorie made his first pot of gold in stock trading. Money begets moneyJews seem to be born with it, Erie? Kadoorie quickly invested the money it earned. In collaboration with a friend, he founded the CLP Power Company in 1903. Although the power of generators was small and only a few foreigners in Hong Kong had access to electric lights, the clever Kadoorie foresaw that the electricity industry was a promising industry. He focused his efforts on CLP Power. In 1906, Erie? Kadoorie also acquired a substantial stake in the Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, becoming the majority shareholder.

Lorantz? Kadoorie studied in Shanghai and England as a child, and returned to Hong Kong at the age of 19 to join the board of directors of CLP Power China, which his father chaired. In the same year, the Kadoorie family acquired a controlling stake in CLP Power from the British-owned Qichang Insurance Company, making CLP the main force of the Kadoorie family's business. Under the management of Kadoorie and his sons, CLP has developed rapidly. By the outbreak of the Second World War, CLP had become one of the largest enterprises in Hong Kong, monopolizing the supply of electricity to the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories.

Erie? In 1926, Kadoorie established Sir Kadoorie & Sons as the family's holding company. By the time of the Second World War, the Kadoorie family's business had grown rapidly, involving industries such as electricity, real estate, trading, finance, hotels, cable cars, and even to major cities such as Guangzhou and Shanghai in the mainland. In the late twenties, the Kadoorie family invested US$400,000 to build the Peninsula Hong Kong, one of the most luxurious hotels in Asia at the time. When The Peninsula was inaugurated, it was crowned with unprecedented pomp. The Kadoorie family became famous in Hong Kong. After the outbreak of the Second World War, the Kadoorie family's business suffered significant losses. In 1941, on the eve of the fall of Hong Kong, Kadoorie was ordered by the Hong Kong government to blow up the power plant of the China Power Company on the Kowloon Peninsula. The Kadoorie family's business in Chinese mainland also fell into the hands of the Japanese and was confiscated by the Japanese. In Hong Kong, the Kadoorie family's hotels and other businesses were requisitioned by the Japanese army. The Kadoorie family was even detained in a concentration camp. In 1944, Erie? Kadoorie died of illness in a Japanese concentration camp and did not see the light of day.

After the war, Lorantz? Kadoorie was determined to carry on his father's legacy and restore the family business. Under his auspices, the CLP power plant was quickly rebuilt. The Peninsula Hotel and other hotels have also been renovated and their business has been expanded. In 1964, Roland? Kadoorie reached an agreement with Oriental Energy Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Standard Oil Company, a well-known oil company in the United States, to jointly invest in the establishment of "Peninsula Power Co., Ltd.", in which CLP Power Co., Ltd. holds 40% of the shares and is responsible for sales. In this way, since the mid-60s, the Peninsula Power Company has invested billions of Hong Kong dollars in the construction of power plants such as Tsing Yi Island and Xinheyuan. By 1977, CLP had sold 71.9 per cent of Hong Kong's electricity consumption, an increase of 3.5 times over 1964. In the 80s, CLP cooperated with an American company to invest HK$20 billion in the construction of the Castle Peak Power Plant in Kowloon. At Lorance? Under Kadoorie's leadership, CLP's business has grown rapidly, and its assets have grown exponentially. Today, CLP is one of the top 10 listed companies in Hong Kong by market capitalisation, and has become a goose with golden eggs in the Kadoorie family.

In 1985, Roland? Kadoorie went to Beijing in person, met with Deng Xiaoping, a senior leader of the Communist Party of China, and reached an agreement with China to jointly build the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in Shenzhen. CLP has a 25 percent stake in the plant, which has an investment of more than HK$10 billion. After the completion of the Daya Bay Power Station, its powerful power was fed into Hong Kong through the power grid of the China Power Corporation, providing a driving force for the further development of Hong Kong's economy.

At this moment, he should have been busy with work, pushed back the original arrangement, and was in a room in the Peninsula Hotel, which was regained control after the war, waiting for an agreed meeting with a stranger.

If the British in Hong Kong knew about Lorence at this time? Kadoorie took time out today to wait for a Chinese, and the whole of Hong Kong will be in an uproar.

But Lorantz? Kadoorie himself does not.

Because he knew what a big business it was, with high profits and no risks, although he respected his own reputation of the Kadoorie family in Hong Kong, but this kind of forced money, Lorence said that he was not Chinese, and he still did not understand it.

At this time, the door was opened by the waiter.
