Chapter 401: 0400 [Embroidered Silk Banners Overnight! 】
Kowloon Peninsula.
presidential suite.
When Shi Zhijian arranged all the work overnight, it was already dawn, and a ray of sunlight shone in through the window and surrounded him, giving him a sense of satisfaction with high ambitions.
Shi Zhijian was dressed in a neat suit, with his hair combed back, a cigarette in his mouth, and his eyes fixed on a map hanging on the wall.
Above the map is the sphere of influence of real estate development in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories are all divided up by countless real estate predators.
Among them, the Huo family, the Li family, the Guo family and the Luo family are the most powerful.
These four are known as the four major real estate developers of Hong Kong Chinese, and they are also honored as the "Four Heavenly Kings" in the real estate industry.
Among them, the helm of the Huo family is the big brother Huo Yingdong.
The helm of the Li family is Li Zhaoji.
Guo Desheng is at the helm of the Guo family.
And the helm of the Luo family is Luo Yingshi.
These four real estate tycoons basically control the real estate development in the three major regions of Hong Kong.
Brother Huo mainly operates the Kowloon Peninsula.
Li Zhaoji and Guo Desheng mainly operate Hong Kong Island.
The Luo Yingshi family mainly operates in the New Territories.
In addition, there are some ghost real estate tycoons in Hong Kong, such as the Keswick family, the Kadoorie family, and the Swire family.
However, these ghosts like to do banking and finance the most, or air transportation, and they don't have much advantage in real estate development.
To put it bluntly, ghosts don’t know much about Hong Kong culture, Chinese people’s longing for “home” or the traditional Chinese culture of “family, country, world”, so they can’t compete with those wealthy Chinese businessmen in real estate development. .
Hong Kong real estate has experienced a leap from the 1950s to the 1960s, but has fallen into a trough in the last four or five years.
Nowadays, with the influx of mainland immigrants, Vietnamese immigrants, and Southeast Asian immigrants, Hong Kong's population has skyrocketed again, and Hong Kong's real estate industry has gradually recovered and began to bottom out.
Both Li Zhaotian and Li Jiacheng are shrewd people who have already felt the potential explosive power of Hong Kong's real estate industry, which is why they are so interested in developing Tsuen Wan.
Shi Zhijian took a puff of his cigarette, and looked at the densely marked places on the map.
Those places were marked with red pens, extending from the Kowloon Peninsula, to Hong Kong Island, and then to the New Territories, like red flags everywhere, waving in the wind.
These marked places are the spheres of influence of major real estate developers. Others don't know, but Shi Zhijian knows that Hong Kong real estate will have 30 years of glory in the future, and Hong Kong's housing prices will become one of the highest in the world. Houses in the styles of "Pan Fang", "Pigeon Cage" and "Coffin Shop" will also emerge accordingly.
Shi Zhijian took a puff of smoke towards the map, and then crushed the end of the cigarette that was almost finished on the site of Tsuen Wan!
"Tsuen Wan" was burned by cigarette butts, and the burnt yellow slowly spread, sparking a prairie fire, unstoppable!
...
As a special area in Hong Kong, Tsuen Wan has always been considered as the "frontier" of Hong Kong.
Many police officers made mistakes and were sent here to guard the pond.
Because of the geographical location, it is rarely developed by people. Even if it is developed, it will take advantage of the cheap labor here, and the cheap land to set up plastic flower factories, textile factories, and oil refineries, etc.
However, Tsuen Wan during this period was pushed to the forefront of real estate development in Hong Kong.
With the relocation of the Texaco Petroleum Company, Tsuen Wan, which had no interest in it before, suddenly became a favorite.
There are mountains and water, near the sea, primitive and undeveloped...
These, in turn, have become favorable conditions for the development of high-end villas and holiday villas.
Today, Shinhwa Real Estate Company is going to hold a foundation laying ceremony here, and Tsuen Wan, which has always been deserted, has become lively. Both sides of the dirt road are occupied by stalls of various small businesses and hawkers, taking advantage of today's happy day to try their best to solicit business.
"Selling duck pears! Big sweet and crispy pears!"
"Zongzi! Glutinous rice dumplings! Authentic and refreshing glutinous rice dumplings!"
"Dog skin plaster! Sore waist and leg pain, just apply it!"
A car honked its horn and drove over with a beep.
Inside the car, Tsuen Wan District Councilor Zuo Qiaozhi looked at the mirror and plucked out a nose hair protruding from his own hand, and said to the accompanying secretary: "A Chai, have you found out clearly that there will be many important figures in today's foundation laying ceremony?"
The accompanying secretary, A Chai, held up the mirror with both hands to ask Zuo Qiaozhi to pluck his nose hair, and said with a flattering smile, "Of course, I heard that Shi Zhijian is very powerful. Last time Mrs. Shi celebrated his birthday, even the four major detectives came!"
Zuo Qiaozhi nodded, asked A Chai to remove the mirror, kicked the driver in front of him and said, "I'm busy, drive faster! Slow like a dog!"
After scolding the driver, Zuo Qiaozhi said to A Chai: "I believe you! But if you guess wrong, watch out for your dog's head!"
A Chai hurriedly nodded and bowed: "Don't worry, Senator, I've made all the arrangements, and you can show off at that time!"
"What do you mean by showing off? I call it serving the people! As a member of the Tsuen Wan District Council, of course I have to pay attention to the economic development here! In addition——" Zuo Qiaozhi raised his finger: "When the reporters take pictures later Don't let them take my profile! Many people say that my profile looks like the big star Marlon Brando!"
...
"Grandfather, let's hurry up, the foundation laying ceremony is about to begin!" Shi Zhijian's second uncle Shi Dagui urged the old man anxiously.
Taigong Shi looked hesitant, with his hands behind his back, he walked slowly towards the site of the foundation laying ceremony.
Today his cheap grandson Shi Zhijian is going to hold the foundation stone laying ceremony here, he should be very happy.
But the last time Shi Zhijian broke with him directly and said that he would no longer have anything to do with the Shi family, which made Mr. Shi very heartbroken.
Although Shi Zhijian's father, Shi Dafu, was not his own, he was still a father and son in name. Now that Shi Zhijian, a cheap grandson, has developed, he doesn't even recognize himself. It's unreasonable!
Taigong Shi felt uncomfortable. He didn't want to come here to participate in the foundation laying ceremony, not to mention that Shi Zhijian didn't send him an invitation letter.
But Shi Zhijian's second uncle, Shi Dagui, and third uncle, Shi Darong, were unwilling to let go of this opportunity to "moderate relations" with Shi Zhijian.
Others didn't know it, but the two of them knew it very well. Since the outside world knew about Shi Zhijian's relationship with them, it became much easier for them to do business.
Take Shi Dagui's medicinal material business as an example. There was a buyer who owed the payment for more than three years. When he learned that Shi Zhijian was his nephew, he took the initiative to send the money over with three years' interest on it!
This surprised Shi Dagui who didn't care much about being Shi Zhijian's second uncle.
I didn't expect this identity to be so useful.
The third son, Shi Darong, is the same. His business is larger than that of the second son, Shi Dagui. He mainly deals in freight. In the past, he was often blackmailed by many gangsters from the New Territories to Kowloon to Hong Kong Island.
The last time he took a load of mountain goods to sell in Kowloon North District, he was followed by a local policeman again. What's the name of that policeman, Datouying, by the way, Inspector Feng Yingfeng.
In desperation, Shi Darong tried to get rid of the relationship, revealed his identity, and said that he was Shi Zhijian's third uncle.
Shi Darong's idea was very simple, he hoped that Inspector Feng would give him some face, even if he was less extortionate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he revealed Shi Zhijian's name, Inspector Feng's face turned pale with fright. Not only did he not ask for a penny, but he also invited him to drink and eat.
During the banquet, Inspector Feng even called him brother and brother, and was so enthusiastic that Shi Darong felt a little embarrassed.
After experiencing the above incidents, Shi Dagui and Shi Darong finally understood how famous and famous their nephew Shi Zhijian was.
As long as they establish their "nephew and uncle" relationship with Shi Zhijian, doing business in the future will be like holding a sword of the upper hand, and they will never be disadvantaged.
It is precisely because of this that even though they did not receive the "invitation letter" from Shinhwa Company, the two of them still approached shamelessly, and even pestered Mr. Shi to come together to celebrate Shi Zhijian.
For this reason, the two even embroidered the silk banner overnight, and enlarged the relationship between themselves and Shi Zhijian's "nephew and uncle" on the silk banner. They wanted everyone at the scene to know that Shi Zhijian was their nephew and they were a family!
