Chapter 443: Xiangjiang Fengyun
"Fan Liu" is Xiangjiang's alternate chaebol, compared to Li Cucumber and Li Ji and others, he can only be regarded as a junior.
He is the last super-rich man who seized the golden age of Xiangjiang.
In business, this man is known for his keen eye and great boldness.
In the 80s, it galloped through the stock market as a stock market sniper and rose rapidly.
If this kind of script, if it is in the United States or the United Kingdom, it is likely that in many years, he will become a financial tycoon.
To a certain extent, Abel in the United States can be said to be a strengthened version of "Fan Liu" at the beginning.
However, the area where "Fan Liu" is located is Xiangjiang.
Xiangjiang is a magical area where no matter what industry you are engaged in at the beginning, in order to succeed, you will turn to real estate.
Even the high-tech technology port in the direction of IT can eventually be turned into a place for super-giant real estate projects mainly for renting out shops and selling high-priced residential buildings.
It can be said that engaging in real estate has been made the only solution by the cucumber and Li gang to become a consortium in Xiangjiang.
This is also the reason why Hong Kong has not made an inch of progress since it entered the 21st century.
In an already small city, housing prices are sky-high. The average house price is more expensive than that of Manhattan, and the average price of CBD office buildings is among the top three in the world.
The key area is just over 1,100 square kilometers, but the population is as high as six or seven million.
In addition to real estate, there are also service industries such as finance and tourism, which can no longer afford to develop any serious industries.
At the root, there is no future for Xiangjiang.
The local tycoons are not stupid, and they can see this.
Most of them are not willing to be lonely, and most of them are looking for a way out.
The vast majority of people have their eyes set on the north. But the dragon and crouching tiger in the north are not what they used to be, they are all new centuries.
A small number of people have set their sights on the international community.
When the international super-giant crocodile, the world's richest man Abel Smith, came to Xiangjiang.
Any wealthy man in Hong Kong is very concerned about his itinerary.
When Abel left Lu Yu's tea room, Connaught Road, Central, inside a skyscraper.
Zheng Tong, one of the new four major in Xiangjiang, is surrounded by many people, and they are ...... Hoe big d.
"Hoe Big D" is a popular card game on Hong Kong Island and Guangdong Province.
The way of playing is to fight separately, to fight the big and small, and the first to finish the cards to win, also called "fighting for the top" or "running fast".
Although it is a one-man battle, it also pays attention to cooperation, bullying the weak, and joining forces.
If there are Xiangjiang media practitioners here, they can tell at a glance that almost all of these people around Zheng Tong are the billionaires in Xiangjiang.
In addition to Zheng Tong himself, there are also the famous "Fan Liu", Yang Shoucheng of King Entertainment, Ma Yamu, the king of buses, and so on.
Having said that, Hong Kong's media practitioners especially like to give nicknames to celebrities.
In addition to the stars in the entertainment industry, even the rich are not spared.
Like Superman, Uncle Four, Fan Liu, Bus King, Toy King, Costume King, etc.
If you look at those Hong Kong financial news, you will find that there are a bunch of "kings" everywhere in various industries on Hong Kong Island.
The local media especially likes to give him the title of "king of xxx" for a certain field and a relatively outstanding businessman.

Like cucumber, his nickname at the beginning was the king of plastic flowers.
"Pairs."
"Three."
"Five straights."
"Flush."
"Haha, no cards, right? Straight flush! Hahaha - give money to money, 130,000 yuan per person, Shenghui Shenghui! ”
Zheng Tong's happy voice resounded in the crowd.
This Zheng Tong touched a good card, killed everyone alone, and each person lost 130,000 to him.
It's only 130,000, not to mention Hong Kong dollars, even if it's dollars or pounds.
For these billionaires, it is just "sprinkling water".
The losers all smiled and pretended to be unwilling, and took out the cash and returned it to the winner, Zheng Tong.
And Zheng Tong, who won more than 1 million, looked even happier than him who made hundreds of millions in business at this time.
This is because Zheng Tong, one of the four super-rich people on Hong Kong Island, loves this game very much.
He often pulls his son and a group of rich friends to play this kind of hoe.
Over time, because of his identity, a large group of wealthy people rallied around him.
In a Xiangjiang market, a very mysterious "big D meeting" was formed.
The main program of the "Big D Club" is to play cards.
However, many times, every card in this kind of hand is actually playing capital outside the game.
Just like today, a large group of people seem to be playing cards, and Zheng Tong, who won money, is also very happy.
But most of their attention today was not on the game in front of them.
This can be seen from one of the main backbones of the "Big D Meeting", Zheng Tong's son Zheng Chun, who just came in from the outside, and in an instant, everyone's eyes were all gathered on him.
Zheng Chun, who was stared at by everyone, was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing that his father was also staring at him, Zheng Chun knew that now was not the time to sell Guanzi.
He spoke directly:
"It's been in Lu Yu's tearoom all the time, and the tsar in the middle has been in for a while. There was a ghost girl in the back, and I asked people to check, it was the sales director of a yacht company in France. Later, he left Lu Yu's tea room, went to Disney Park and Ocean Park, and went to the Taipan Building for dinner at noon. After eating, I went to the Nine Dragons Ice House. Leaving from the Kowloon Ice House, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, he went to 26 Garden Road. ”
After listening to his son's long words, Zheng Tong asked quietly
"That's it? In other words, he just met Yi Yiguan and saw a ghost girl? He didn't see anyone else? ”
Zheng Chun nodded, "At least that's all our people see." ”
What Zheng Chun just reported was actually the whereabouts of Abel and his people in Xiangjiang all day today.
It's Hong Kong Island anyway.
The Zheng family is one of the out-and-out head snakes of the earth.
Abel had no intention of acting in secret.
His entire whereabouts were even carried out under the protective surveillance of the old man on Hong Kong Island.
The Zheng family, a local snake, is really not a problem to get his whereabouts.
"Hell yes. Is this old American really here to visit Hong Kong Island? ”
In the "Big D Meeting", the richest "Fan Liu" besides Zheng Tong couldn't help but say.
"I don't believe it......," Yang Shoucheng said, "I don't believe it," Yang Shoucheng said.
"The ghost loves money like his life, his time is so precious, where is it not good to travel, come to our Hong Kong Island for tourism? Maybe the mystery lies in his meeting with Yi Guan? ”
Yang Shoucheng's words were approved by most of the people present, and even Zheng Tong felt that what he said was reasonable.
After all, who would have thought that the world's richest man, Abel Smith, is the core figure of an American consortium. In his pure Angsa-like body, there will be a soul with Chinese feelings.
"Uncle Tong." Fan Liu suddenly said: "You have a good relationship with Yi Guan, maybe you can ask him?" ”
Everyone's attention, as soon as Fan Liu said this, all converged on the "president" Zheng Tong.
Having said that, Zheng Tong loves to play cards.
So there was the emergence of the "big D meeting".
Even in the beginning, the members of the Big D Society were even more prominent than they are now.
The other three people in the new four major schools of Xiangjiang also have Yi Guan and He Gambling. Wang, these people used to be members of this big D meeting.
It's just that these people are addicted to cards, and there is no Zheng Tongqiang. In addition, this invisible organization has always been dominated by Zheng Tong.
Gradually, these elders slowly alienated themselves from the big D meeting.
But there is no doubt that Zheng Tong still has a very good relationship with them, and he is the one who has the best relationship with others in the new four majors.
Unlike the two Lees in it, the relationship is getting worse and worse.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have named his son's name like the other party's name.
Under everyone's gaze, Zheng Tong shook his head slightly:
"Why did Yi Guan go to him, you don't have to think about it to know that it means the north. But what exactly is going on, he is such a dense person, if he doesn't want to say, it's useless for anyone to ask. ”
Zheng Tong refused to ask, and others naturally didn't have the courage to ask the official.
After 97, the status of Lao Yi in Xiangjiang is an existence that even the old four and the new four must pay attention to.
Just as this group of people frowned and thought about the purpose of the world's richest man's "strange" whereabouts on Hong Kong Island.
One of Zheng Chun's secretaries walked in from outside, trying not to attract the attention of other rich people, whispered something in the boss's ear.
After listening, Zheng Chun showed a surprised expression on his face.
The eldest prince of the Zheng family immediately spoke: "You may not have to guess, maybe you will know the reason tomorrow night." ”
His voice focused everyone's attention on him.
"How?" Zheng Tong looked at his son and said.
Zheng Chun didn't dare to sell Guan Zi to his father, so he said directly:
"The secretary just informed me that there is a party at 26 Garden Road tomorrow night. Consul General, Father invites you to tomorrow night's party. ”
After listening to his son's words, Zheng Tong became interested:
"You mean, the main purpose of this party is to entertain Abel Smith?"
"That's how it should be, right? The nature of the ancestral family's party is also like this. Zheng Chun said uncertainly.
At this time, beside Yang Shoucheng, a wealthy member who had just joined the Big D Club not long ago.
He whispered to Yang Shoucheng, who has always been more righteous around him:
"Brother Albert, what's the matter with the ancestral banquet?"
Don't look at Lao Yang's ruthless reputation, but this guy has a polite appearance, and he looks like a Sven person.
In the same level of ecosystem, he has always been a very enthusiastic person.
This can be seen from the fact that he later took the initiative to invite Zhang and Xu from the mainland to join the big D meeting.
"It was a banquet that happened at my ancestor's house last year. At that time, he was the envoy of the United States to London, and he hosted a banquet for Abel Smith, who was not yet the richest man in the world. It is said that the people who went to that banquet were all super bigwigs, envoys from various countries to the UK, top rich people from various countries, and so on. It is said that even the British crown prince wanted to go at that time, but his identity was not suitable, after all, so many diplomats were on the scene. That time, Zheng Gongzi happened to be in London and was taken in. However, he was very modest, saying that at that banquet at that time, he was the little transparent in the corner. Even Zheng Gongzi said so, you can imagine the grade of that banquet. ”
Yang Shoucheng said with a fascinated expression.
After Yang Shoucheng's explanation, the new members suddenly realized.
The new members have actually just arrived from the mainland.
However, I also know that the "ancestral home" is on Hong Kong Island, which generally refers to the United Kingdom or London.
The older generation on Hong Kong Island, the more they admire the sheep, the more they often yearn for the country where the sun has set.
This kind of atmosphere is especially true in the rich circle.
Like Zheng Chun, he likes to take out his experience of participating in that banquet and often talk about it in the big D meeting.
Obviously, in that banquet, Abel didn't even feel Zheng Chun's existence, and he didn't know, just a little transparent.
But just because he participated in a banquet of this level in his ancestral family, Zheng Chun is often proud of it.
Even if it's a little transparent.
Zheng Chun, a big man on Hong Kong Island, is like this.
One can imagine how some ordinary Hong Kong people feel.
"If it's the same as that time." Zheng Tong directly clapped the board:
"It shouldn't be just me, there should be a lot of people who can get an invitation to 26 Garden Road. If you go on a trip tomorrow night, whether it's a donkey or a horse, you should know it. ”
Everyone nodded.
In fact, Zheng Tong did not misjudge.
The banquet to be held at 26 Garden Road tomorrow night is very large.
It is indeed not only Zheng Tong who has received the invitation, but also a top Hong Kong Island bigwig.
In order to expand its influence on Hong Kong Island, 26 Garden Road has issued invitations to most of Hong Kong Island's celebrities and urban elites.
26 Garden Road is the address of the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong.
It is the largest consulate in Hong Kong, with a large area and a capacity of up to 1,000 people.
In the spirit of wool, and in order to make the party as grand as possible, in order to please Abel.
Consul General Gao Lesheng sent out hundreds of invitations at one time......
Basically, the celebrities on Hong Kong Island and even Hong Kong and Austria have been wiped out.
When the magnates and celebrities in the city were mobilized by the invitation letter of Consul General Gao Lesheng.
Consul General Gao Lesheng himself, at the same time, was in a secret meeting room of the consulate.
Look at one of the heads of the CLA in the Asian region.
was trained by Abel Smith so much that he couldn't lift his head.
"Who do you think you are? Sir, who do you think I am? Do you think I'm an employee of CLA or FBL? How dare you ask me? Sir, are you sure you're not kidding? ”
"No, not what you think. That's not what I meant, Mr. Smith. ”
One of the heads of CLA Asia.
Nathan De Funeso, who was stationed on Hong Kong Island, hurriedly explained.
The CLA is very powerful, especially against those small countries, and even the leaders and monarchs of small countries will tremble when they hear their names.
However, the CLA has always been not internal to the outside world, and it is the largest foreign intelligence agency of the United States.
Not to mention that the big man in front of him is a character who even the top boss of CLA has to be polite and respectful.
At this moment, in the face of Abel's frenzy, Nathan Defuneso had to keep apologizing:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith. I really didn't mean that, I'm really sorry, please calm your anger......"
Nathan De Foneso now hates his boss.
What does it mean to "Abel Smith can cooperate with some of your actions", "This is an authorization from the Grand Commander", "You can do things with confidence, I am your strong backing"......
Shet!
Nathan was skeptical that he would have to make a phone call now.
To his immediate boss, he said that he might have provoked Abel Smith, and hoped that the boss could help him with something like this.
The boss will definitely hang up his phone immediately, and he may immediately hold himself accountable.
Although he has been stationed abroad for a long time, he is, after all, a member of the intelligence agency.
Born with a very strong understanding of information and intelligence.
Nathan De Funeso knows very well that a big man in China like Abel wants to play a small role like himself.
Really, a lot of the time, it's just a phone call, or even just a word or two in front of someone.
It's almost as difficult as trying to kill an ordinary foreigner.
It is definitely not a question of whether you want to or not.
Seeing Abel's angry look, Nathan Defuneso now just wants to whip himself hard.
I also hate to fool my top boss.
And Abel looked at the head of the CLA Hong Kong Island organization who was sincerely frightened and kept admitting his mistakes in front of him, and he finally lost a little anger.
Just now, in front of Gao Lesheng, the consul general of Hong Kong Island.
Nathan said he was going to ask Abel to do something for CLA.
Abel asked what it was.
Nathan said it was arranged by the White House.
He wanted to invite Abel to take a group photo with some local people on Hong Kong Island, such as students, university professors, officials, etc.
I would also like to ask Abel to come forward and attend some small, special banquets organized by CLA after this evening's banquet.
Abel immediately thought of something that had made him angry.
Although from the perspective of his interests today, it may be beneficial for him to do such a thing.
But that would make him feel unhappy inside.
If he wasn't happy, Abel directly caught Nathan Defuneso and squirted.
Abel promised George that he would help the intelligence agencies abroad in the United States by the way.
But in his heart, he still doesn't want to do these things on Hong Kong Island, and he doesn't want to do these things in his former soul home country.
At least not now.
Nathan De Funeso was out of luck.
Even if the intelligence chief's status on Hong Kong Island is high, those so-called new and old four big will tremble in front of him.
But in front of Abel, Nathan Defuneso is really a small character.
When the small intelligence leaders of the empire who are dispatched abroad face the top elites of the empire.
Don't care if it's reasonable or not, don't care what the powerful have promised before.
As long as the powerful are not happy, it is so powerless.
Abel scolded enough, plus Nathan Defuneso was really sensible and kept apologizing.
Abel then reined in his anger a little.
He looked at Gao Lesheng next to him.
Gao Lesheng, who was watching the play, immediately smiled at Abel.
"Michael, I think spies who play intelligence sometimes just don't have brains."
Gao Lesheng's original name was Michael Klossen, and Gao Lesheng was just his Hong Kong-style Chinese name.
Most of the ghost elders who live and work in Hong Kong will give a Chinese name in order to integrate here and facilitate work.
This was no exception even to the former governors of Hong Kong.
Looking at Nathan De Funeso, who was scolded and didn't dare to refute it, the Sacred Heart of Gaole wanted to call you to make it difficult for me before.
But Abel can pat his ass in two days. Shares are gone.
Gao Lesheng will at least work in Xiangjiang for another year or two.
During this time, he and Nathan De Funeso were always colleagues.
So of course he won't make the relationship between the two sides really that bad.
Gao Lesheng smiled for Nathan Defuneso, distracting Abel's anger.
"Hah—you're right. But Mr. Smith, you are one of our American media moguls and entertainment magnates. Guests of this banquet tonight, I wonder if you are interested in meeting the local industry leaders? ”
"For example?"
