Tsing Yi Island, Li Family Manor.

Approaching the end of the year, the Li family is getting busier and busier.

Each company should issue year-end bonuses, not only that, but some outstanding performances should also hold banquets, condolences to family members and so on.

Although most of them are done according to Li Yuan's words: the bonuses are in place, and the others are all false, don't talk nonsense.

But for example, the seven Chinese medicine practitioners in eastern Guangdong, as well as their families, must have a meal together.

The Dragon Tiger Hall was supported by them and the disciples they had cultivated, and it was thriving more and more.

Making money is a trivial matter, but the influence of the Li family is getting bigger and bigger.

You can't take the heroes lightly......

It was busy until the twenty-eighth day of the new year, and all aspects were almost over.

Lou Xiao'e, Lou Xiu, and Nie Yu finally found time to go shopping in Central, and when they returned home, they greeted a large number of children to try on new clothes, hats, shoes, socks and various toys.

"Where's your second brother?"

After picking up the third, fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, and ninth questions, he found that the eldest and second were not there, and Lou Xiao'e asked the third son Fuguidao.

It doesn't matter if the boss is busy, what is the second child doing?

Fugui volunteered: "I'll call the second brother!" ”

After Fugui didn't run away, Lou Xiu said to Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao Si is probably also worried about his eldest brother." ”

Lou Xiao'e sneered: "He's a fart!" That bank was originally obtained for nothing, and if it was earned, it was earned, and if it was lost, it was pulled down. ”

Nie Yu reminded: "That's not for nothing, I used so much gold, and I only paid the down payment." The pressure of the rice balls is so great. Also, I heard from Xiao Qi that Chubby hasn't been at home for a few days. ”

Lou Xiao'e frowned when she heard this, and said, "You don't say that I haven't found out, why haven't I seen Fat Fat in the past few days?" ”

Lou Xiu said worriedly: "Did you quarrel?" ”

Nie Yu sneered: "Could it be that their family is snobbish, thinking that Hengsheng has lost money, and our family is about to lose, so they don't let their daughter come to our house?" ”

Before it was confirmed, just hearing this, Lou Xiu's face turned white with anger, and said, "How can this be?" ”

Lou Xiao'e hurriedly shook her head and said with relief: "No, no, when people are with us, we don't have any family background, so we still rent that small tenement building to open a dragon and tiger hall." I guess that the chubby father wants to test the rice balls to see if he can withstand the wind and rain. ”

In the end, it is a person who has been tempered for more than ten years, and the style of looking at the problem is much higher.

Lou Xiu also reacted and said, "I see." The ancients said: Watching people in the face of wealth, watching people in difficulties, watching people in ignorance, and watching people after drinking. ”

Lou Xiao'e asked: "I know about wealth, hardship, and drunkenness, what is it to ignore?" ”

Lou Xiu said: "It's the subtleties, the places that ordinary people don't care about." Wealth, neglect, and drunken estimation have all been tested, and now the test is in trouble. It's just that the He family is a little excessive. ”

Lou Xiao'e didn't understand: "What's wrong?" ”

Nie Yu sneered: "I'm afraid that the difficulty is not big enough, and I also added a drama where the husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes." I don't know what to do, who do they think they are? A group of inferior three, my Li family's son, it's their turn to test?! ”

Li Si, who was pushed out by Fugui to try on new clothes, was still a little impatient, but when he came out and saw Nie Yu's mother who was suddenly angry, he instantly looked at his nose and nose, and made up his mind to be a good clothes rack honestly.

There's no way, no one can afford to mess with a few mothers in the family.

Lou Xiao'e and Lou Xiu can understand some of Nie Yu's thoughts, didn't she almost lose her life because of this delay......

Now that I see Tangyuan being treated like this, I feel empathy, and I will inevitably lose my temper.

Lou Xiao'e also felt sorry for her son, and asked Li Sidao: "What about your eldest brother?" ”

Li Si shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Don't know?"

Lou Xiao'e raised her eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with this answer.

Li Si hurriedly said: "Mom, I really don't know. The eldest brother has been very busy lately, and he has to study, and he has to have meetings with the bank, and he has to have meetings with people from Glaxo and Roche. But it stands to reason that this is time to return...... Mom, don't you worry, I'll drive out and look for it, right? ”

Lou Xiao'e glanced at him and said, "Your grounding is not over yet, stay at home honestly, and wait for your father to come back and then send you down." Go, call the front and ask where your eldest brother has gone. ”

Li Si had no choice but to call the security team of the factory in front.

Eat a trench and grow wise, the core members of the Li family go out, and there are people from the security team following behind.

Most of these people were killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and their families were all working in the Li family's factory, and they lived in the Li family's cheap rented houses, and they were loyal.

After a while, Li Si came back with a strange face and said, "Mom, where do you guess the eldest brother has gone?" ”

Lou Xiao'e looked at his face, guessed impatiently, and said, "Where did you go?" Sell less, say quickly. ”

Li Si grinned: "Cao family." ”

Lou Xiao'e didn't react for a while, and asked, "Cao family, which Cao family?" ”

It was Lou Xiu who reacted first, and his expression was also weird, and he said, "Xiao Si, could it be Yongshan coming back?" ”

Lou Xiao'e: "......"

Nie Yu leaned back on the sofa and was speechless.

Could it be that everything in the world is circulating, and this scene is too fucking.

Poor chubby, could it be that his house is going to be raided......

……

Deep Water Bay, Cao's house.

The four major ship king families on Hong Kong Island, the charter ship king family are in full swing in the real estate industry, and the Dong family and the Zhao Congyan family are like a rainbow in the shipping industry, especially the Dong family, a commercial fleet, almost catching up with the commercial fleet of a giant empire like Lao Maozi.

Only the Cao family, for some reason, suddenly sold all the ships this year......

Some people say that it is because there is no successor of the Cao family, and the eldest son of the ship king Cao Wenjing studied architecture in the United States, followed the master, and had no intention of family business.

The second son was even more dragged and would rather go to Thailand to do palm oil business by himself than take over the family shipping business.

The two daughters are doctors who are doctors, and those who marry full-time wives are full-time wives......

Other wealthy families are about to break their dogs' brains in order to compete for family property, and no one in the Cao family has taken over......

Li Xing sat in the living room of the Cao family's mansion very respectfully and politely, looked at Cao Wenjing and said with a smile: "Cao Sheng, my father once told me that there are not many people he respects among the many tycoons on Hong Kong Island, except for Huo Sheng and He Sheng...... Mr. He Shanheng, the elder class of Hang Seng, and Uncle Shao Liu of TVB, have the most respect for Cao Sheng. Say that you have encountered countless hardships in your life, and if you change a person and encounter any of these blows, there is a high probability that you will collapse, but along the way, you can always survive in a desperate situation, never give up, never be discouraged, and it is an example for us to learn. ”

Beside him, there was a quiet and beautiful girl, with long hair and waist-length, eyebrows and eyes that were not stunning, but beautiful and warm, which made people look comfortable. The legs are elegantly placed together on the oblique side, and it can be seen that it is particularly slender.

Cao Wenjing smiled: "I saw you when you came to my house as a guest when you were a child. I never thought that you could do such a big thing at this age. ”

Li Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Cao Sheng has an overreputation, and he is almost defeated. ”

Cao Wenjing smiled: "What, have you already admitted defeat?" ”

Li Xing said: "That's not going to happen. ”

Hearing his understatement, but categorical answer, Cao Wenjing smiled and said: "Hang Seng has been falling for more than half a month, not only falling out of the Hang Seng shares, but even the Monetary Authority has issued a warning letter questioning the huge financial risks of Hang Seng Bank. If this continues, it's hard to say whether you can keep your license or not. ”

Li Xing shook his head and said: "So far, Hang Seng has not had a single case of default. There is no justification whatsoever for the Monetary Authority to revoke or suspend our banking license. ”

Cao Wenjing said: "But if this continues, Hang Seng Bank will almost be worthless." The bank itself accepts a lot of investment funds, right? Now many people have filed lawsuits demanding compensation from Hang Seng. When the time comes, you will not only be able to keep the bank, but you will also have to be burdened with huge debts. Now, you know how good HSBC is, right? ”

Li Xing nodded and said, "On Hong Kong Island, especially in the financial industry, HSBC covers the sky with one hand, and no one is invincible. Still, I want to keep going. ”

Cao Wenjing frowned and said, "Victor, do you know why I decisively sold most of the big ships of Wanbang Shipping?" ”

Li Xing thought for a while and said, "Aren't you optimistic about the shipping industry in the next ten years?" ”

Cao Wenjing's brows stretched slightly, and said, "Tell me, what do you think?" ”

Li Xingdao: "Hong Kong Island's economy has begun to transform, with the substantial increase in workers' wages and the increase in cost factors such as raw materials, the decline of Hong Kong Island's processing industry is imminent. Coupled with the iron curtain between Laos, the United States and the Soviet Union, the world economy has slowed down, and trade circulation has been greatly reduced. Therefore, the shipping industry will not have a good time in the future. Cao Shengneng broke his wrist at this time, sold most of the ships of Wanbang Shipping, and cashed out at a high position, which was a very wise move.

Cao Sheng, I know you want to give this example to persuade me to make a decision, to take it and put it down, and not to lose it.

However, the banking industry is different from the shipping industry, and the economic transformation of Hong Kong Island is from the processing industry to the financial field, which is the best period for the development of banks.

If the Li family is out this time, there will never be such an opportunity in the future.

Cao Sheng, I'm not holding on to it for the sake of face. It's just that most of the time, there are not many opportunities that people can encounter in their lifetime. If you miss a lot of things, you won't have a chance again.

Angel invited me to be a guest today, and I was very happy to meet my friends again, so I came to meet Cao Sheng, but I didn't mean to ask for help.

My father once taught me that the most important thing in dealing with others is not to make things difficult for others, especially to friends, which is not a kind way to do it.

Cao Sheng, I understand and appreciate your kindness, but I have my persistence. ”

Cao Yongshan said softly on the side: "But, you have borrowed money from Pan Qian's father." ”

Li Xing smiled and said softly, "Angel, Pansy ...... It's not the same. ”

Cao Yongshan's tears flowed out at once, and she looked at Li Xing sadly and said, "Are you blaming me for all the years I left?" ”

Li Xing shook his head and said softly: "Angel, I didn't blame you, I knew you couldn't do anything at that time." It's just that...... That's where it is today. Angel, we can be good friends. I assure you, friendship never changes. I remember and cherish the beauty of my childhood. ”

Cao Yongshan's mother, Feng Meihui, patted the coffee table on the side and said: "Victor, you're right, creation makes people, things have come to this point, don't blame you children, it's Angel and her father who are too much." But, as you said, creation makes people. Now you are in such a big difficulty

Li Xing hurriedly said: "Auntie, it really doesn't have to be like this. The influence of the HSBC consortium is indeed beyond my imagination, and if the Cao family makes a move, it will inevitably attract the anger of HSBC, which is not necessary. ”

Cao Wenjing smiled: "It seems that you still don't know me, don't you know that my Cao family does business and never borrows from the bank?" My father was the general manager of Quanye Bank in Shenghai in his early years, I just graduated from university, I have to go to the bank in the morning to do things, in the afternoon to go to the foreign bank to do things, and in the evening to go to the family shipping company to escort the ship, busier than you are now. I work in a bank, and I know that banks are all collected on sunny days by umbrellas and rainy days, and too many creditors are forced to go bankrupt and commit suicide by jumping off buildings. So when I was in business, I never wanted to borrow money from banks. Now that the Cao family's shipping industry has temporarily died down, I'm afraid of HSBC? Angel's mother lends you $10 million, and I'll lend you another $20 million, enough for you to hold on for a while. Your dad is coming back, isn't he? ”

Li Xing nodded, but was still thinking about the wording, how to decline the loan without hurting Cao Yongshan's feelings.

He has his pride and respect for his feelings.

Three million dollars did not shake him.

Feng Meihui said: "Victor, don't think of us as too vulgar, it's not that the daughter of the Cao family can't get married, so I have to pay you for it." It's just that we think it's a pity that you're not together.,Childhood sweethearts.,If you regret it for life because of some mistakes in the past by your elders.,Then I'm hard to die.。 The matter of money is just a little bit of our elders' thoughts, and it has nothing to do with your feelings. How you end up working it out is your own business. Auntie and grandpa will never interfere with you, and we are not so angry as to use this money to do things. ”

Li Xing smiled bitterly when he heard this, these people are still too powerful, and they blocked the wording that he had just prepared and had not yet been exported.

What else can he say, and if he refuses, it will be too heartbreaking.

Li Xing got up and bowed to Cao Wenjing and Feng Meihui respectively to express his gratitude.

……

After Li Xing and Cao Yongshan went out, Feng Meihui looked at Cao Wenjing and smiled: "Dad, are you so optimistic about him?" There was also a special international call to call us back. You didn't say before that you were going to lend him $20 million. ”

Cao Wenjing reminded: "Angel is coming back, not because I called. ”

Feng Meihui laughed and said: "If it wasn't for you to report the news, how would Angel know that Victor was in a big disaster?" ”

Cao Wenjing shook his head and advised: "You must distinguish this point clearly, in case you say the wrong thing in the future, the consequences will be very serious." Emotional matters, sometimes there is no room for a grain of sand.

Angel's feelings for the Li family are sincere, which is the premise. As for my optimism about Li Xing...... Before today, I just thought that this kid was not bad, and he had the shadow of me. Diligent, hardworking, studious, and courageous. Coupled with the road paved for him by his old beans, he will definitely have a bright future in the future. There are so many wealthy families on Hong Kong Island, and the younger generation is better than him, I really didn't find how many.

Outsiders say that I had better gamble, not money, but luck and future. The ups and downs of life are all because of a gambling word.

But no, I would only bet on people and things that I am very optimistic about.

I didn't mention the $20 million because we didn't talk about it today. After today's conversation, I am even more convinced that there is absolutely nothing wrong with betting on the Li family!

Victor and I really seem to have an eye on an industry, and if we feel hopeful, we dare to persevere to the end!

When I was in the shipping industry, I managed to get two boats to run the boat at the beginning, but I encountered a mine and sank one of them with a bang, not only did I not make any money, but I also lost a lot of money.

Later, because of secretly transporting rubber and gasoline to the mainland, he was blacklisted by Lao Mei, and he couldn't turn over for several years.

But I still persevered, and I have today's Wanbang Shipping!

And he bet on the banking industry.

I believe that he will also do very well in the future and become a financial tycoon. ”

Feng Meihui was suspicious: "But Dad, didn't you sell most of the boats?" ”

Cao Wenjing smiled and said, "If you sell it now, it doesn't mean that you won't buy it back in the future." ”

After speaking, he got up and said: "You can walk around with the Li family more these days, it's not easy to find a good family for your daughter." Today's refusal of this little guy made me look at it even more, it is indeed a rare piece of jade, and it can't be given to He Gambling King. ”

……

Deep Water Bay Beach.

The leather shoes stepped on the soft sand, leaving two rows of footprints.

Cao Yongshan grabbed Li Xing's arm, both of them were wearing windbreakers, and the sea breeze swept the waves to the shore, blowing the skirts of their clothes and dancing.

"Victor, you've worked too hard."

Cao Yongshan suddenly spoke.

Li Xing smiled when he heard this, shook his head slightly, and said, "My father has already laid a good foundation for me, and they are all ready-made, so I can't talk about how hard it is." Before this turmoil, I was actually a little complacent, thinking how great I was. Now that I look at it, outside of my father's sphere of influence, what I do is actually vulnerable. Now, I can only wait for him to come back and clean up the mess, ashamed. ”

Cao Yongshan said distressedly: "It's already good!" ”

Li Xing looked at her, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Do you think I will feel sorry for myself?" Wrong. Such setbacks will only make me more and more courageous. The only regret is that I am afraid that it will disappoint my father a little. ”

Cao Yongshan hurriedly said: "It must not!" Uncle Li would never have said that! ”

Li Xing looked at Cao Yongshan's kind and soft face, and smiled: "Of course he won't say that, my parents are always the most tolerant of us." ”

A waning moon is in the sky, and the stars are shining brightly.

Cao Yongshan's eyes reflected the waning moon and stars, looked at Li Xing brightly, and asked, "Tang Yuan, can you tolerate me for a while?" I know the laws on Hong Kong Island have changed, but I don't care. All I care about is you. ”

Li Xing's expression was moved and shocked, after he and Cao Yongshan looked at each other for a while, when Cao Yongshan's eyes were red, the fog was filled, and he was almost sad to cry, he still chose to be gentle and firm, and hugged her into his arms: "Tomorrow, come with me to pick up Dad." ”

"Hmm!"
