Chapter 367 Meeting the Future Governor of Hong Kong
“Is this really good?” Yang Wendong asked rhetorically.
Actually, many super rich people or family members have stand-ins, but these are only for small public affairs. Like this gathering held by the Hong Kong Governor's Office, they must actually go.
But twins, people who are not very familiar with each other, cannot be distinguished unless they are acquaintances.
Bai Yujie said: "Why not? No one will recognize it, and I basically don't speak the whole time, just smile."
"But don't forget, Sanders knows your sister." Yang Wendong reminded.
Bai Yujie said: "My sister has also thought of this, so she has called Sanders in advance. It is a small matter, and he agreed to pretend that he didn't know. It has nothing to do with him. "
"That's okay." Yang Wendong nodded. Sanders didn't care about other people's trivial matters. If Sanders did this, Yang Wendong wouldn't interfere.
As for the other people at the venue, there may be a very few people who have seen Bai Yushan before, but they are not familiar with her at all.
"Let's go, I also want to see what the upper class is like?" Bai Yujie said with a smile: "I heard that you rich people drink limited edition red wine worth 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a bottle. ?”
"Well, sometimes this happens." Yang Wendong replied: "But not today. This is organized by the Hong Kong Governor's Office. It can't be so extravagant. A bottle of red wine only costs a few hundred Hong Kong dollars."
Although everyone loves money and enjoyment, and the Hong Kong Governor's Office may not necessarily be honest, in today's society, at least on the surface, we still have to "pretend".
"A few hundred is a lot." Bai Yujie said with a smile.
Yang Wendong said: "So, you helped me today, and when the matter is completed, I will give you a bottle of red wine worth 10,000 Hong Kong dollars for you to try?"
"It seems like It's a bit too luxurious," Bai Yujie said, shaking her head.
Although the Bai family can be considered rich, they are not so extravagant, and it is simply unnecessary.
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "It's just an experience. Many luxury goods are actually not that good, but countless years of media brainwashing have led to many people persisting in them and thinking they are good things;
But after you have experienced it, you will find that it is nothing more than that and meaningless.”
Many IQ taxes on luxury goods are actually caused by the media’s deliberate propaganda. The most successful one is diamonds, followed by diamonds. Things like LV bags, or when electronic watches overtake mechanical watches, mechanical watches are also defined as luxury goods, and the routine is the same.
Bai Yujie thought for a while and said, "It seems to be true, and you don't seem to have any luxuries, except cars and cruise ships?"
"Yes, I won't say that I don't buy luxury goods, but at least they have to be meaningful." Yang Wendong said: "Cars involve safety and comfort, and cruise ships are a place for complete entertainment and relaxation, so these things are more expensive, but they are still considered goods." It’s worth it.
Also, it’s for business needs. Otherwise, I would just buy ordinary clothes and it would make no difference.”
Although I have money, He will enjoy it, but he will not pay the IQ tax to buy some meaningless things. Instead, he will choose to buy super mansions, private jets, etc.
Bai Yujie touched the necklace around her neck again and asked, "What about the jewelry? My sister gave it to me."
"That's no problem." Yang Wendong smiled. : "You like these things. I bought them and my family is happy. It's worth it."
There is another point that I haven’t said yet, that is, rare jewelry, even if it is made of diamonds, will maintain its value. Large diamonds are also rare. Only broken diamonds can harvest the wealth of the middle class
“Oh, so Not bad." Bai Yujie nodded.
Yang Wendong said again: "Let's go then. In fact, real luxury does not need to be decorated with these external things. At a certain level, even if you have a piece of glass in your hand, other people will think that it is It’s jewelry, even if you tell others it’s glass Li, they will also think this is very beautiful, and your preferences are very stylish~"
"There is a great scholar who can argue for me." This sentence is absolutely correct. Successful people on the Internet in previous lives farted. They are all fragrant, and there are a lot of people explaining and analyzing them.
When you are truly super rich, why do you need any external objects to prove yourself? There are also some statistics in previous lives. Most of the people who buy LV bags and mechanical watches are the barely wealthy middle class, and hardwear is their first purpose.
"Yeah." Bai Yujie also thought it made sense.
Around 5 p.m.:
Yang Wendong’s Mercedes-Benz motorcade arrived at the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel. As soon as they got off the car, they spotted several acquaintances in the mall.
The number of people invited to this banquet today is as high as hundreds, covering Hong Kong's political, business, cultural and other fields. Anyone who is somewhat famous in Hong Kong is here.
"Yang Sheng, long time no see." Jin Yong walked over and said with a smile.
"Hello, Cha Sheng." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "I heard that the daily sales of Mingbao exceeded 40,000, which is very gratifying."
Jin Yong was invited here not because of His novels are so good because his Ming Pao newspaper has become one of the top three newspapers in Hong Kong. Although he doesn’t make much money, his influence is huge, especially when coupled with his status as a well-known novel author, his fame , it’s just stacking buffs.
“Haha, I just got some results in the newspaper.” Jin Yong laughed and said: “Compared to Yang Sheng who will have his own TV station in the future, I am far behind.”< br>
Among the media, the strongest is the television station. This is recognized globally. In many countries, television stations are controlled by the state for this reason.
Yang Wendong said: "Sheng Cha, this TV station is expected to be officially established in the middle of next year. There is something I want to discuss with you."
Historically, it took two years for the TV station to be established, but now Yang Wendong will not wait that long. Whether it is infrastructure construction, TV station personnel, overseas equipment purchase, engineer training, etc., they are all carried out simultaneously, so the speed is naturally much faster.
"Yang Sheng wants to obtain the TV series copyright of my novel?" Jin Yong is also very smart.
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Yes, I purchased the audio and movie rights from you before, but both of them have shortcomings. The former can only be spread by voice description, and although the latter has a high box office, Due to time constraints, the content captured was not very good. .
Only TV dramas with long enough episodes can film all the plots of your novels. This will be the best result for you and me. ""Okay, I can agree. The specific price. Let's discuss it later?" Jin Yong agreed.
"Okay, I will send someone to Mingpao to negotiate with you later." Yang Wendong smiled.
It was also because it was related to the TV station and he met Jin Yong today that he mentioned it by the way. Otherwise, if this trivial matter were in other industries, it would only be worthy of him checking the company's monthly report every month. A line of words
Jin Yong said: "So Yang Sheng, shall we go in together?"
"Okay, please." Yang Wendong also said.
The two soon arrived at the banquet hall on the 26th floor. The Hong Kong police arranged security measures at the elevator entrance. Anyone, including Yang Wendong, had to be inspected.
This is normal. Those who are here today are all top people in Hong Kong. To say that people here control 80% of the wealth and power in Hong Kong may be a bit conservative.
After the security check, several people came to the banquet hall, and then everyone separated.
The banquet had not officially started, and Yang Wendong met acquaintances in the venue one by one, such as Huo Yingdong, Zheng Yutong, Ding Kejian, etc. In this era, Huo Yingdong had not yet been recognized by the British. Targeted at.
“Li Sheng, congratulations. "After seeing Li Jiacheng and Zhuang Yueming, Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Congratulations on your marriage."
In the past life, there was a lot of controversy about whether Li Jiacheng started from scratch, because his wife was. The daughter of Hong Kong’s watch king is also his cousin.
But in Yang Wendong's opinion, he should count, because he also married his wife by himself. Just like "Brother Dong" in his previous life, he also found a powerful ex-girlfriend, which is also his own ability.
When Li Jiacheng was a child, he came to seek refuge with relatives. Although he was not bullied, it was not because of this relationship that he could marry Bai Fumei, who studied in the UK as a junior high school student. , regardless of whether it is deception or even just sweet talk, to deceive others, it is as good as the ability. The same security consort of Samsung.
There are actually rumors in the market that even though Li and Zhuang insisted on being together, because Zhuang's father did not agree, they never got married until Li Jiacheng became the plastic flower king in Hong Kong. After years of accumulating a net worth of tens of millions, Father Zhuang let go and the two of them got married this year.
This year, Li Jiacheng is 35 years old and Zhuang Yueming is 32 years old. In this era of early marriage, getting married at this age must have many unknown secrets behind it.
Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "Thank you Yang Sheng."
Yang Wendong asked again: "Li Sheng, I heard that the plastic flower business is not doing well this year?"
"Yes." Li Jiacheng nodded and said: "The market is still very big, but now there are too many Factory production, prices have plummeted, and there is no profit anymore.
If it weren’t for the plastic particles that Yang Sheng bought from Wanwan, the price was cheaper than in the previous era when British-owned foreign companies controlled, then Hong Kong would not know how much plastic Flower factories are going to close down.”
Yang Wendong also said: “Today, Hong Kong’s industrial development is getting better and better, but for individuals, if there is no innovation, it will be difficult to compete. "
"Yes, it's a pity that I have never found a better direction. Unlike Yang Sheng's Changxing Industrial, the current achievements are really enviable," Li Jiacheng said with a smile.
Yang Wendong said: "Li Sheng, actually I have an idea. Maybe we can cooperate in some aspects."
"How to cooperate?" Li Jiacheng also suddenly became interested.
Yang Wendong raised his hand to check the time, then looked at the Hong Kong Governor and others not far away, and said: "Li Sheng, it's a bit late at this time, so let's attend the banquet first. Today's protagonist is New Port Governor;
How about we meet at the Four Seasons Hotel tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to discuss cooperation?"
Li Jiacheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be fine for these two days. Yang Sheng, please set an exact time. .”
"Then tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon." Yang Wendong said.
"Okay." Li Jiacheng agreed.
The two of them chatted for a while and then separated. Bai Yujie smiled and asked, "Brother Dong, you are so busy. You have already discussed two business deals in a short time."
"It doesn't count as being busy. Usually I just set a general direction and discuss the intention with the other party. Professionals will take over later. The specific details are the most time-consuming." Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "And Today is a special situation. Didn’t you see that there are almost all the big businessmen in Hong Kong, but I only negotiated business with two or three people?” Then he asked: "Is this Li Jiacheng special? He used to be the king of plastic flowers, but it seems that he is not so good now? Plastic flowers seem to be unable to make money now."
Yang Wendong said: "You can't make money from plastic flowers, but Li Jiacheng can. Do you think that without plastic flowers, people can't make other businesses?"
A capable person can make money in any environment. Trying to make money by any means, to put it an exaggeration, send Li Jiacheng to the Republic of China or even ancient times. As long as he doesn't die, there will be some achievements.
People who are rich may rely on luck, but those who have succeeded in multiple industries continuously are really capable. Even though many people in the mainland did not like Li Jiacheng in his previous life, it is estimated that few people would deny his ability in business.
"You think so highly of him?" Bai Yujie said.
"Yes, I am optimistic about anyone who has the ability." Yang Wendong smiled.
"Oh." Bai Yujie nodded and said nothing more.
After the meeting, the banquet officially started. First, the current Hong Kong Governor Robert Brown gave a speech on the stage. He talked about Hong Kong’s achievements under the leadership of the British government and his achievements during his term, including: public housing , reclamation projects, education reform, water supply projects, etc.
Naturally, the future Governor Dai Linzhi came to power, and he also described his future governing views. The content was similar, and the core was to safeguard Hong Kong. The development of industry and commerce has made it the Oriental Pearl of Asia.
After the two men finished their speeches, the new governor began to meet the guests who came to the venue one by one to get acquainted. Even if they had known each other before, but now This identity is already different
Soon, Dai Linzhi and Bai Liji came to Yang Wendong and said, "Eric, I don't think I need to introduce him anymore."
< br>
"No, Eric can be considered an acquaintance." Dai Lin said with a smile: "The most incredible thing about Hong Kong in the past few years to me is that Eric can start a business from scratch in a few years. Such a miracle, if it were placed in the UK, That will definitely be the idol of the whole people."
Blicki smiled and said: "Yes, but it will be the same even in Hong Kong. Eric, I have already submitted your application for Justice of the Peace. I think next year, you will become the youngest justice of the peace in Hong Kong."
"Thank you, Mr. Governor," Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Dai Linzhi asked again: "Eric, as the most successful businessman in Hong Kong today, I would like to ask how Hong Kong's economy will develop in the future?"
PS: Please vote for me.
