America's Road to Wealth

Fan Liu is Xiangjiang's candidate chaebol. Compared with Li Huanggua, Li Ji and others, he can only be regarded as a junior.

He is the last super rich man to seize the golden age of Hong Kong.

In business, this person is famous for his keen vision and courage.

In the 1980s, he rode the stock market as a stock market sniper and rose rapidly.

If this kind of script were played in the United States or the United Kingdom, there is a high probability that he will become a financial tycoon in many years.

To a certain extent, Abel in the United States can be said to be an enhanced version of Fan Liu from 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 in the end, you will turn to real estate.

Even the Science and Technology Harbor, which is engaged in high-tech IT, can eventually become a place for super-large real estate projects that mainly rent out shops and sell high-priced residential buildings.

It can be said that engaging in real estate has been made by Cucumber Li and his gang the only solution to becoming a consortium in Hong Kong.

This is also the reason why Xiangjiang has made no progress since entering the 21st century.

In a small city, housing prices are sky-high. The average house price is more expensive than 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 to seven million.

In addition to real estate, there are also service industries such as finance and tourism. It has been unable to develop any serious industries.

Basically, Xiangjiang has no future.

The local tycoons are not fools, and they can naturally see this.

Most of them are unwilling to be left alone and are looking for a way out.

Most people set their sights on the north. But in the north, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It’s not the same as before. It’s the new century.

A small number of people have set their sights on the international world.

When the international super giant and the world's richest man Abel Smith came to Hong Kong.

Any Hong Kong rich man is very concerned about his itinerary.

When Abel left Lu Yu Teahouse, he was in a skyscraper on Connaught Road in Central.

Zheng Tong, one of the New Four in Xiangjiang, is surrounded by many people. They are...hoeing the big D.

Hoe Big D is a popular card game in Hong Kong Island and Guangdong Province.

The way of playing is to fight independently, with the big player fighting the small player. The winner is to play out all the cards first, which is also called fighting for the top or running fast.

Although they are fighting alone, they also pay attention to cooperation, relying on the strong to bully the weak, and joining forces with the strong. .

If there are media practitioners in Xiangjiang here, they can tell at a glance that the people surrounding Zheng Tong are almost all billionaires in Xiangjiang.

In addition to Zheng Tong himself, there are also the famous Fan Liu, Yang Shoucheng of Yingwang Entertainment, the King of Buses Mayamu, etc.

Having said that, media practitioners in Xiangjiang especially like to give nicknames to celebrities.

In addition to celebrities in the entertainment industry, even the rich are not spared.

Like Superman, Fourth Uncle, Fan Liu, Bus King, Toy King, Costume King, etc.

If you read the financial news in Hong Kong, you will find that there are a lot of kings everywhere in various industries on Hong Kong Island.

The local media particularly likes to title outstanding businessmen in a certain field the King of XXX.

Like Cucumber, his nickname at the beginning was the King of Plastic Flowers.

Couple.

Three.

Five straights.

same color.

Haha, are you out of cards? Flush! Hahaha - give money, give money, 130,000 per person, great benefits, great benefits!

Zheng Tong's happy voice sounded in the crowd.

This time Zheng Tong got a good hand and killed everyone by himself. Everyone lost 130,000 to him.

It’s only 130,000, not to mention Hong Kong dollars, even US dollars or pounds.

For these rich people, whose net worth is measured in billions, it is just a matter of spreading water.

The losers all smiled and pretended to be unwilling, and took out the cash and returned it to the winner Zheng Tong.

Zheng Tong, who had won over 1 million, looked even happier than when he had made several hundred million in business.

This is because Zheng Tong, one of the four super rich people in Hong Kong, loves this game very much.

He often takes his son and a group of rich friends to play this kind of hoe.

Over time, a large group of wealthy people rallied around him because of his identity.

A very mysterious Big D Meeting took shape in Hong Kong.

The main program of Big D Club is playing cards.

However, many times, every card played in this kind of card game is actually capital outside the card game.

Just like today, a large group of people seemed to be playing cards, and Zheng Tong, who won money, was also very happy.

But most of their attention today was not actually on the card game in front of them.

This can be seen from the fact that one of the main backbones of the Big D Meeting, Zheng Tong's son Zheng Chun, just came in from outside, and for a moment everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Zheng Chun, who was stared at by everyone, was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing his father staring at him, Zheng Chun knew that now was not the time to show off.

He said directly:

We were always at Lu Yu Teahouse, and Tsar Huo went in for a while. A ghost girl came in behind, and I asked someone to check. She was the sales director of a yacht company in France. Later, he left Lu Yu Teahouse and went Disney Park and Ocean Park, and went to the Taipan Building for lunch at noon. After eating, he went to the Kowloon Ice Room. After leaving the Kowloon Ice Room, he went to No. 26 Garden Road at around two o'clock in the afternoon.

After listening to his son's long words, Zheng Tong asked calmly

That's it? In other words, he only met Huo Yiguan once, and also met a ghost girl? He didn't meet anyone else?

Zheng Chun nodded, At least this is all our people see.

What Zheng Chun reported just now was actually the whereabouts of Abel and his people in Xiangjiang throughout the whole day today.

No matter what, this is Hong Kong Island.

The Zheng family is one of the out-and-out local snakes.

Abel had no intention of acting in secret.

His entire whereabouts were even carried out under the protection and surveillance of Hong Kong police officers.

For a local snake like the Zheng family, it is really not a problem to get his whereabouts.

Damn it. Is this American really here to visit Hong Kong Island?

In the Big D Club, Fan Liu, the richest person besides Zheng Tong, couldn't help but say.

I don't believe it... Yang Shoucheng said:

Every ghost loves money as much as his life. His time is so precious. Where can he travel? Come to our Hong Kong Island? Maybe the secret lies in his meeting with Huo Yiguan?

Yang Shoucheng's words were approved by most people present, and even Zheng Tong felt that they were reasonable.

After all, who would have thought that the world's richest man, Abel Smith, is a core figure in an American conglomerate. In his pure Angsa-like body, there will be a soul with Chinese sentiments living in him.

Uncle Tong. Fan Liu suddenly said: You have a good relationship with Huo Yiguan, maybe you can ask him?

After Fan Liu said this, everyone's attention was focused on President Zheng Tong.

Having said that, Zheng Tong loves playing cards.

Hence the emergence of the “Big D Conference”.

Even in the beginning, the members of Big D were even more prominent than they are now.

The other three people in the Xiangjiang New Four, as well as Huo Yiguan and He Gambling Wang, were all members of this big D group.

It’s just that these people are not as addicted to cards as Zheng Tong. In addition, this invisible organization has always been led by Zheng Tong.

Gradually, these big guys became alienated from Big D Club.

But there is no doubt that Zheng Tong still has a very good relationship with them, and he has the best relationship with others in the New Four.

Unlike the two Lis in it, their relationship is getting worse and worse.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have named his son so similar to the other person's name.

Under everyone's gaze, Zheng Tong shook his head slightly:

Why Officer Huo Yi went to find him? You don't need to think about it to know that it means the north. But what exactly is it? He is so popular. If he doesn't want to tell, it will be useless for anyone to ask.

Zheng Tong didn't even want to ask, so naturally the others didn't have the guts to ask Huo Yiguan.

After 1997, Lao Huo's status in Xiangjiang is something that even the old four majors and the new four majors 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 in Hong Kong Island.

One of Zheng Chun's secretaries came in from outside and whispered something in the boss's ear while trying not to attract the attention of other wealthy people.

After listening, Zheng Chun had a surprised expression on his face.

The eldest son of the Zheng family immediately said: Maybe you don't have to guess anymore. Maybe you will know the reason tomorrow night.

His voice focused everyone's attention on him.

What should I say? Zheng Tong looked at his son and asked.

Zheng Chun did not dare to show off to his father and said directly:

The secretary just informed me that there will be a party tomorrow night at No. 26 Garden Road. Consul General Gao Lesheng invites you, father, to attend the party tomorrow night.

After listening to his son's words, Zheng Tong became interested:

You mean, the main function of Gao Le Saint's party is to entertain Abel Smith?

It should be like this, right? The nature of the party at the ancestor's house was also like this. Zheng Chun said uncertainly.

At this time, next to Yang Shoucheng was a wealthy member who had just joined the Big D Club.

He whispered to Yang Shoucheng, who was always more loyal to him:

Brother Albert, what's going on at the ancestral family banquet?

Despite Lao Yang's ruthless reputation, this guy looks gentle and looks like a gentle man.

In the same level of ecological circle, 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 took place at my ancestor's house last year. He was the American envoy to London at the time, and he hosted a banquet for Abel Smith, who was not yet the richest man in the world. It is said that all the people who attended the banquet were super big shots, such as envoys from various countries to the UK. The top rich men from various countries and so on. It is said that even the British Crown Prince wanted to go, but his status was not suitable. After all, so many diplomats were present. Mr. Zheng happened to be in London that time and was taken in. But he was very humble, He said that at that banquet, he was just a transparent person in the corner. Even Mr. Zheng said so, so you can imagine the level of that banquet.

Yang Shoucheng said with a fascinated expression.

After Yang Shoucheng's explanation, the new members suddenly understood.

The new members actually just came from the mainland not long ago.

However, we also know that ancestral home is in Hong Kong Island, which generally refers to the United Kingdom or London.

The older generation of Hong Kong Island, the more they admire sheep, the more they have an inexplicable yearning for the country where the sun has set.

This trend is especially true among the rich.

Like Zheng Chun, he likes to share his experience of participating in that banquet and often talk about it in large gatherings.

Obviously during that banquet, Abel didn't even feel Zheng Chun's existence and didn't know about it. He was just a little transparent.

But just because he attended a banquet of this level in his ancestral family, Zheng Chun was always proud of it.

Even if it is a little transparent.

Big figures in Hong Kong like Zheng Chun are like this.

One can imagine how some ordinary Hong Kong people feel.

If it's the same as that time. Zheng Tong decided directly:

It shouldn't be just me, there should be many of you who have received invitations from No. 26 Garden Road. Go there tomorrow night. You should know whether it's a donkey or a horse.

Everyone nodded.

In fact, Zheng Tong was not wrong in his judgment.

The banquet held at No. 26 Garden Road tomorrow night will be very grand.

It is true that top Hong Kong figures like Zheng Tong were not the only ones to receive invitations.

In order to expand its influence on Hong Kong Island, No. 26 Garden Road sent invitations to most of the celebrities and dignitaries in Hong Kong Island.

No. 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 can hold parties of up to a thousand people.

It was based on the idea of ​​​​gathering wool, and also in order to make the party as grand as possible to please Abel.

Consul General Gao Lesheng sent out hundreds of invitations at once...

Basically, they caught all the celebrities in Hong Kong Island and even Hong Kong and Austria.

When the dignitaries and celebrities in the city were mobilized by the invitation letter from Consul General Gao Lesheng.

Consul General Gao Lesheng himself was in a secret meeting room of the consulate at the same time.

Looking at one of the heads of ClA in Asia.

Being trained by Abel Smith, I couldn't even lift my head.

Who do you think you are? Sir, who do you think I am? Do you think I am an employee of ClA or FBl? How dare you ask me? Sir, are you sure you are not joking?

No, it's not what you think. Mr. Smith, that's not what I meant.

One of the heads of ClA Asia.

Nathan Defuneso, who was stationed on Hong Kong Island, hurriedly explained.

ClA is very powerful, especially when it comes to those small countries. Even the leaders and monarchs of small countries will tremble when they hear their names.

But ClA has always been open to the outside world but not to the inside. It is the largest external intelligence agency of the United States.

Not to mention that the big man in front of him is a character that even ClA's immediate boss must show courtesy and respect.

At this moment, facing Abel’s outburst, Nathan Defuneso had no choice but to apologize continuously:

I'm sorry, Mr. Smith. I really didn't mean that. I'm really sorry. Please calm down...

Nathan de Funeso now hated his boss.

What do you mean by Abel Smith can cooperate with some of your actions, This is an authorization from the commander-in-chief, You can do things with confidence, I am your strong backing...

Shet!

Nathan doubted that he would make a phone call now.

He told his immediate boss that he might have offended Abe Smith and hoped that his boss could help him, something like this.

Then his boss will definitely hang up the phone on him immediately, and may even hold him accountable immediately.

Although he has been stationed abroad for a long time, he is still a member of the intelligence agency.

He is born with a very strong ability to understand information and intelligence.

Nathan Defuneso knew very well that if a big shot like Abel wanted to play a small role like himself.

Really, many times, it's just a phone call, or even just a few words in front of certain people.

It is almost the same difficulty as trying to kill an ordinary foreigner.

It just depends on whether you want it or not, it’s definitely not a question of whether you can do it or not.

Seeing Abel's angry look, Nathan Defuneso just wanted to slap himself hard now.

I also hated my immediate boss for lying to me.

And when Abel looked at the head of the ClA Hong Kong Island organization who was frightened and kept admitting his mistakes in front of him, he finally calmed down a little.

Just now, in front of Gao Lesheng, the Consul General of Hong Kong Island.

Nathan said he would ask Abel to help ClA do something.

Abel asked what it was.

Nathan said it was arranged by the White House.

He wanted to invite Abel to take photos with some local figures on Hong Kong Island, such as students, university professors, officials, etc.

I also want to ask Abel to come forward and attend some small special banquets held by ClA after tonight's banquet.

Abel immediately thought of something that had made him angry.

Although from the perspective of his current interests, doing this kind of thing may be of some benefit to himself.

But doing so would make him feel unhappy inside.

Feeling unhappy, Abel immediately caught Nathan Defuneso and squirted him.

Abel promised George that he would do something for U.S. intelligence agencies abroad.

But in his heart, he still didn't want to do these things in Hong Kong Island, or in his former soul motherland.

At least not now.

Nathan de Funeso was unlucky.

Even if the intelligence chief has a high status in Hong Kong Island, the so-called New Four and the Old Four will tremble in front of him.

But in front of Abel, Nathan Defuneso is really a small character.

When the empire's small intelligence chief dispatched abroad faced the empire's top dignitaries.

Never mind what is right or wrong, never mind what the powerful have promised before.

As long as the powerful are unhappy, they are so powerless.

Abel had scolded him enough, and Nathan Defuneso was indeed sensible and kept apologizing.

Abel then calmed down his anger a little.

He looked at Gao Lesheng beside him.

Gao Lesheng, who was watching the play, immediately smiled at Abel.

Michael, I think intelligence spies sometimes have no brains.

Gao Lesheng's original name is Michael Crossen, Gao Lesheng is just his Hong Kong-style Chinese name.

Most of the ghosts who live and work in Hong Kong will give them a Chinese name in order to blend in and work more conveniently.

Even the previous governors of Hong Kong were no exception to this point.

Looking at Nathan de Funeso who did not dare to refute even after being scolded, Gao Le Sacred Heart wanted to tell you that you have always made things difficult for me.

But Abel can leave in two days.

Gao Lesheng will at least stay in Xiangjiang and work for another year or two.

During this period, I will always be colleagues with Nathan Defuneso.

So of course he wouldn't make the relationship between the two parties really that bad.

Gaule Saint smiled for Nathan de Funeso, distracting Abel's anger.

Ha - you are right. But Mr. Smith, you are one of our media tycoons and entertainment giants in the United States. As a guest of this banquet tonight, I wonder if you are interested in meeting outstanding local people in related industries? ?”

for example?
