Reverse Rebirth 1990

Chapter 1394 1414 [Four Great Families of the British Empire] Part [-]
England, near the Thames Canal——
As a veteran capitalist country, the glory of the British Empire was brought into full play in the 89s.

And this Howard Castle, located near the Thames River, was the famous "Duke Castle" in the British Empire at that time.

Because the people living in this castle are none other than the famous Howard family of the British Empire.

The Howard family rose in the "Tudor Dynasty" period of the British Empire. At that time, Howard's patriarch had a close relationship with King Henry VIII. Among them, one of the two women of the Howard family became Henry VIII's mistress and the other became Henry. Queen of the Eighth.

That is to say, relying on this unspeakable secret nepotism, the Howard family became the largest investor in the UK at that time, and almost arranged all the major projects in the UK.

Today, although the glory of the British Empire is no longer there, the Howard family's influence on the British Empire and overseas has not only not declined, but has increased.

At this moment, in the banquet hall of Castle Howard, Philip Howard, as the head of the family, is entertaining distinguished guests from Hong Kong.

Hong Kong tycoon Kang Zuyao and his son Kang Yonglian sat on the seats with some anxiety.

Kang Zuyao was domineering by nature, but that was also in Hong Kong. As Hong Kong's former colonial mother country, Kang Zuyao had a natural sense of fear, or inferiority complex, towards the British.

Duke Philip is 55 years old this year. He is blond, blue-eyed, and handsome.

At this moment, Duke Philip looked at Kang Zuyao with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with Kang Zuyao's restraint and anxiety.

Also, as a British nobleman with noble blood, Philip has always looked down on the Chinese.

In Philip's perception, the most precious things in the world, such as hunting dogs and racehorses, all have their own noble blood, but China, which is the most populous country in the world, does not pay attention to these.

Not only that, Chinese people seem to not care much about bloodlines from ancient times to the present, what they care about is the kind of ridiculous "princes and generals have kindness!"

The Chinese don't believe in blood, they only believe that my fate is up to me.

This disgusted Philip.

Low-level human beings are low-level human beings, no matter how much fate favors you, it can't change your lowly bloodline!
"Mr. Kang, this is the red wine that our castle specially prepares for VIPs. Try it!" In front of the long dining table, Duke Philip raised his red wine glass and gestured towards Kang Yonglian.

Seeing this, Kang Yonglian hurriedly picked up his wine glass, and gave his son Kang Yonglian a wink, meaning to be reserved, solemn, and not to lose face.

After taking a sip of the red wine, Duke Philip put down his glass and said to Kang Zuyao and his son with a smile, "Actually, you came to London from Hong Kong this time, and I know what you are doing..."

"That's right, our Howard family in Hong Kong has invested in a lot of real estate before. It can even be said that more than half of the real estate in Hong Kong belongs to our Howard family. But you also know that today is not the past, and now Hong Kong has returned to China. Due to political reasons, Our family has sold many real estate properties, among which the four biggest real estate developers in Hong Kong are the ones who bought the most.”

Kang Zuyao swallowed, then looked at Duke Philip with piercing eyes and said: "Your Excellency, I know what you said, but I also hope you can understand that Song Zhichao is like an emperor in Hong Kong now. If I want to To control the entire Hong Kong, you must overthrow him, and this also represents the interests of you and the British Empire!"

Philip smiled, "You're right, dear Kang, but there's one thing you don't seem to understand, and that is—there's no future in real estate now!"

"Oh, why did Your Excellency the Duke say that?"

"This is the result of my think tank's analysis." Duke Philip said with a smile, "It is almost the year 2000, and the lifeline of the global economy has shifted from the traditional real estate industry, financial industry, to the IT industry, and also to the IT industry. There are two major areas of the communications industry.”

"Apart from other things, my think tank team of 2000 people concluded that future wealth will be concentrated in these two areas, so if you are still thinking about speculating in Hong Kong, the ideology is too low-level. "

"Ahem," Kang Zuyao couldn't help coughing, after all, anyone would blush if someone called him low-level in front of his face.

"I'm sorry, dear Kang, I'm just so straightforward." Duke Philip shrugged and smiled gentlemanly. "I did this just to let you understand that times have changed, and if you want to defeat your enemies, you must change your thinking!"

Kang Zuyao was taken aback.

Next to him, Kang Yonglian interjected: "Abba, the Duke is right! We have to change! Now that Song Zhichao is in full swing in Hong Kong, if we don't change, we will be swallowed by him sooner or later!"

Kang Zuyao's face was a little ugly. Duke Philip said that he was stubborn, and it was fine. Even his son said that, wouldn't it embarrass him?

"Hahaha! Well, dear Kang, I know you are in a bad mood, but it's okay, I will give you a good suggestion, and your mood will get better soon." Philip said.

Speaking of this, Philip clapped his hands, "Come out, dear friend, and meet your Hong Kong buddy!"

As Philip's words fell to the ground, a young man walked in proudly from the outside, and when he saw Kang Zuyao, he smiled and said, "Mr. Kang, hello!"

"Why are you?" Kang Zuyao looked a little surprised.

"Yeah, why is it you?" Kang Yonglian was even more surprised.

I saw that the person in front of him was wearing glasses, although he was not a graceful tree, but he was also handsome and handsome, especially the smile that no one paid attention to on the corner of his mouth, which made him even more arrogant.

This person is none other than Hong Kong Little Superman - Li Zekai!
At this moment, when Li Zekai saw Kang Zuyao and his son looking at him in surprise, he smiled and said, "To be honest, our Li family and Duke Philip Howard's family are family friends. I was just a kid when I met the Duke. Twenty years!"

Philip also smiled and said, "Yeah, time makes people old. When I first met you, I was a very handsome young man, but now, I have gray hair on my sideburns, and I am about to grow old."

Seeing that Li Zekai and Philip are "reminiscing about the old days", Kang Zuyao and his son look at me and I look at you. I have to admit that the relationship between the Li family and the Howard family is really extraordinary—at least not comparable to that of the Kang family.
