Hong Kong Island, New Territories.

Kadoorie Farms.

Horess Kadoorie looked at the young man brought by his nephew Michael in surprise, and said with a smile: "Tangyuan, right? Do you have something to do with me? ”

He knew Li Xing.

Li Xing smiled and said, "Grandpa Helishi, my father sent a telegram and wanted to ask for your help." ”

He Lishi let out a "wow" and said, "Lee? How is he now? I haven't seen him in a while, he's an interesting guy and I miss him. ”

Michael smiled and said, "Uncle, you miss the nine-turn large intestine made by Li, right?" ”

He laughed and said, "That's right. Plum...... What a partner that is hard to describe. He's a perfect guy if he's not always playing tricks. ”

Michael patted Li Xing's shoulder and said, "Li's son is the person you said." Uncle, Li has something to ask for help. ”

He Lishi patted the dirt on his hands and said, "What's the matter, tell me." ”

Li Xing said with a smile: "Grandpa Helishi, my father sent a telegram and wanted to ask you about the technology of large-scale modern pig raising. ”

He Lishi laughed and said, "Li, what is he going to do?" Planning to raise pigs on Hong Kong Island? ”

Li Xing hurriedly said: "No, it's in the mainland." Most people in the mainland can't even eat a pound of meat a year, and my father hopes to do something to change the status quo. ”

"Tangyuan, the pig raising technology of Kadoorie Farm was imported from Denmark, and you know, Denmark is a famous pig kingdom. There are more pigs than people in the country, with an average of five pigs per person. Their pig farming technology is also the most advanced in the world. ”

Li Xing sighed with emotion: "If you have a chance, you must go over and have a look." ”

"You're a good boy," he smiled. Come on, let's go to the pig barn and have a look...... There may be some flavor, do you mind? ”

Li Xing smiled: "Of course not." Grandpa Holis, I grew up in the countryside as a child and also fed pigs. ”

He Lishi laughed and said, "I know, pigs in captivity in rural areas of northern China...... The method of raising here may be different. ”

Michael hesitated, still feeling that as an elder, it was not good to leave the eldest nephew alone.

Luckily, I was prepared before I came.

Somewhat proudly, he took out two cotton balls from his pocket, stuffed them into his nostrils, and followed.

……

Looking at the tall and bright pig house in front of him, the snorting pigs in the pig pens like a room, changed his clothes, and even put on hoods, gloves, and foot covers, Li Xing, who passed through the disinfection room, said in surprise: "Grandpa Helishi, how many people need to feed so many pigs?" ”

Holis laughed, "Guess what. ”

Li Xingdao: "A hundred workers? ”

Holis shook his head and smiled: "The farm pig house has always maintained 20,000 pigs in the pen, and it takes twenty-six workers to raise them. In fact, it is already very backward, because the supporting facilities are not complete. In Denmark, 10,000 pigs only need an average of three workers to feed, and there is already a big gap on my side. They are highly developed there, and all aspects are very mature by them, such as feed, including protein feed, energy feed, roughage, green feed, silage, mineral feed and feed additives, etc., and are also divided into full feed, concentrate, premix and so on. Depending on the different stages of pig production, the type of feed is adjusted. ”

Li Xing humbly asked: "Grandpa Helishi, if the classification is so detailed, will the cost be much higher than that of a small domestic pig?" ”

Hores shook his head and said, "Although the investment is very large, overall, the cost may be lower. This is because modern feeding methods often use more efficient feed and feed management methods, as well as more rational building design, such as environmental control, ventilation and lighting. In addition, large-scale and intensive breeding methods can significantly reduce the cost of feeding a single pig. ”

Li Xing said: "What are the major aspects of expenditure? ”

"This includes the construction of a modern pig barn, the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment, and the requirements of the feed and veterinarians. However, although the labor cost of artificial free-range farming is lower in the past, the backward feeding method will also lead to problems such as feed waste and disease. ”

Michael nodded on the side and said, "Swine fever, that's really scary." ”

"Shut your beak!"

He Lishi scolded.

Li Xing couldn't hold back and laughed.

How can anyone mention these two words in someone's pig farm......

After He Lishi finished scolding, he said to Li Xing: "Tangyuan, this is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, if your father really needs these skills, you can send someone to specialize in learning, especially a veterinarian, this is too important." ”

Li Xing said happily: "Thank you, Grandpa Helishi. So in terms of cost...... I need to give my dad a rough number, and you are welcome, because it could be a three-way cooperation between him and China Resources, as well as with local farmers. ”

He Lishi smiled: "Okay, I'll tell you after I have someone figure it out." ”

Li Xing and Michael said goodbye and left, and on the way back to Tsing Yi Island, Mi Gao asked Li Xing with concern: "Tangyuan, your reputation has been quite good recently. I read the statistics of "Cheng Pao" and "Economic Daily", your family has been eating gold in a low-key manner in recent years. When you were fifteen years old, you went to the gold and silver exchange to buy gold, did your old bean make you buy gold? ”

There was nothing to hide from Michael, Li Xing nodded and smiled: "Uncle Migao, our family has been eating gold since seventy-one years. Most of the money earned in the stock market in 73 years was used to buy gold, except for the acquisition of some old tenement buildings. ”

Michael screamed: "Wow~ Fake! Seventy-one years? "Cheng Pao" said that gold was only 35 US dollars an ounce in 71 years, right? ”

Li Xing nodded, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said, "Yes, it's only thirty-five dollars an ounce in seventy-one years, but at that time, I didn't eat much, mainly invested in the stock market." Thank you, Uncle Michael. ”

Michael's face turned blue and said, "Pick!" You Lao Dou also borrowed a lot of money from our family! He made a lot of money in the stock market, and later shorted the pen with his backhand...... Tangyuan, you won't tell me that all this money went to buy gold later, right? ”

Li Xing said with a smile: "Except for a small part of the old tenement buildings, and some of the real estate stocks, most of them are used to eat gold." In '73, it rose to $100 an ounce, and it also rose in the next three years, but not so much, and it also gave our family the opportunity to eat quietly. But from '76 to the present, the growth curve has suddenly gone up, and this year it has risen to $700 an ounce. ”

Michael exclaimed, "Then you still eat it?" The price is too high. ”

Li Xingdao: "My old bean said that as long as the cold war between Lao Mei and Maozi continues, and the possibility of a world war still exists, the direction of gold will not fall too much, and it is not a big problem to eat it." ”

Michael smiled and said, "No wonder when Shark Guts came to me for tea yesterday, he wanted me to help me get some gold from your house." The price of gold has skyrocketed, and Zhou Da's survival goods have come out too quickly, and their family is a little unbearable. ”

Li Xing said with a smile: "Eat, I can make my own decisions." If you come out, you have to nod my old bean. But if you say something, Grandpa Roland and Uncle Michael, I'm sure I'll have to do some too. ”

Michael glanced at him and said with a smile, "You kid...... No need, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and your family and the Zheng family have no friendship. As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xing again and said, "I don't have any envy for you Lao Dou, even if he has four beloved wives...... Well, that's still a bit enviable. But what makes me most jealous is that he has a good son like you. Philip can't compare to you, and Natalie is too young to be my son-in-law, oh, it's so sad. ”

"Hahaha! Come less! By the way, Uncle Michael, I heard that George Sassoon is coming to Hong Kong Island, right? ”

Li Xing asked with a smile.

Mi Gao was a little nervous, and said, "Tangyuan, don't act rashly." The power of the HSBC consortium on Hong Kong Island is beyond your imagination, even if you want to do something, you have to wait for your old bean to come back. You're still young, you're not there, your whole family is on Hong Kong Island, and you can't cover it up now if something big happens. ”

“…… All right. Uncle Michael, don't worry, I know the severity. ”

Li Xing looked out the window with some regret, he knew that his old bean really lacked the slightest favor for the people of this family.

He was the same.

But, as Michael said, he can't cover it now.

It's just that Li Xing didn't expect that he didn't provoke others, and others actually remembered him.

In the afternoon of the same day, he received an invitation letter from HSBC.

The face of the invitation is printed with a pattern that is the symbol of the Sassoon family:

Shenghai Sassoon Building.

……

"Although the Hong Kong government no longer had to hand over its finances to the UK 20 years ago, it seems that the Hong Kong government has been given complete financial autonomy, but in fact, the most profitable industries on Hong Kong Island have always been controlled by British-funded consortia, especially the financial industry."

"Hong Kong Island has also had very good Chinese banks, such as Hang Seng Bank. In three or three years, outstanding Chinese businessmen such as Lin Bingyan and He Shanheng founded Hang Seng Yinhao, which has been particularly friendly to Chinese-funded businessmen for decades and has also developed into the largest Chinese commercial bank. As a result, the banking crisis broke out in 65 years, and there were constant rumors in the newspapers that were unfavorable to Hang Seng Bank. Within 10 days, he lost 200 million Hong Kong dollars in deposits. That's six or five years...... For a private bank, this is a dead end. ”

Sijiu City, the courtyard of the capital, after dinner, Li Yuan and Qin Daxue told the story of Hong Kong Island.

Qin Daxue frowned and said, "I'm afraid that someone wants to annex Hengsheng, right?" ”

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Of course, for no reason, there are no omissions and major problems in Hang Seng's own operation, and there is no secret trouble, how can this kind of dead end occur?" HSBC bought the most valuable asset of the Chinese Bank at a price of 50 million, and also eliminated the most threatening rival of the banking industry on Hong Kong Island, and established its monopoly advantage in the retail industry of Hong Kong Island banks. A few years later, Hang Seng Bank went public with a market capitalization of HK$1.6 billion and continues to appreciate. Money is actually a trivial matter, but since then, there is no Chinese-funded bank on Hong Kong Island that can become a climate, and there is no one that even threatens HSBC in the slightest. Who is behind it, at a glance. ”

After hearing this, Qin Daxue was silent for a while, and said slowly: "A hundred years of national shame." Now the right to issue Hong Kong dollars is still in the hands of HSBC, right? ”

Li Yuan said "um" and said, "Standing behind the HSBC family is the Sassoon family, which is a Jewish family that made a fortune by selling films. Half of the Yapian imported into China in the late Qing Dynasty were imported by this family. Even the outbreak of the Yapian War was promoted by this family behind the scenes. Later, he did real estate business in Shenghai, when one-fifth of the high-rise buildings in Shenghai were owned by the Sassoon family, and before the war burned to Shenghai, all of them were sold, swept away a huge amount of wealth, and retreated to Hong Kong Island. ”

Qin Daxue looked at Li Yuan in surprise and smiled: "You didn't kill the New Year pig again?" ”

She knew that after seven or six years, Li Yuan had a few votes before leaving.

Li Yuan said helplessly: "This family is already hidden underwater, just like some super-rich families in the West, who hide their wealth in a dazzling equity cross." The current major shareholder of HSBC basically no longer sees the shadow of the Sassoon family. And HSBC's current senior Shen Bi is a very skilled figure, single-handedly supporting a series of Chinese tycoons such as Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang, so that HSBC's power on Hong Kong Island has almost reached the point of self-respect.

Hong Kong Island residents now like to buy the most popular stocks are HSBC's.

Moreover, my efforts have already been registered in the security departments of various countries.

If I don't make a move, they are all afraid of me and don't dare to do anything to the Li family, Xiao'e and the children are safe.

Once I make a move, it is equivalent to taking the lead in declaring war.

Of course, this does not equal a dead knot.

It's not a big problem to find an opportunity to take out a few Sassoon with firearms outside Hong Kong Island. No evidence could be found, and they had nothing to say.

They also know this, so they don't dare to provoke our family easily. ”

Qin Daxue said: "It's already amazing, a sword can block a million soldiers, just like a legend." You say, does the country know what you are capable of? ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "The more this level, the more everyone will choose to act within the rules." You preach morality, and I preach morality. With legitimate business methods, I don't care if I win or lose, and I'm not someone who can't afford to lose.

But if anyone wants to use extraordinary means, then I guarantee that he will die a miserable death. In that case, what do I have to worry about? ”

……

Nine p.m., The Peninsula.

Li Xing was an hour late, and after finishing his homework at Hong Kong Island University, he hurried over with He Pingshi.

But they didn't go to the sixth floor for an appointment, but had a dinner at the restaurant on the first floor and left together.

Sitting in the passenger seat of Li Xing's broken Gundam car, He Pingshi looked at the man with his neckline open and blowing the evening breeze at will, and his eyes were full of him.

Having done so many times in Hong Kong and Kowloon, who else dares to humiliate the Sassoon family like this?
