Chapter 536 The Four Great Families of Xiangjiang (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

"Oh, what are you doing, let me sleep again!"

When Chen Le was woken up by Dai Zhen, he still stayed in bed reluctantly.

"Get up, Angkor is leaving!"

Dai Zhen went straight up and kicked Chen Le awake.

"Damn it, how dare you kick me!" Chen Le suddenly got up on the bed.

Dai Zhen looked at Chen Le amusedly: "What? You have an opinion!"

"Hmph, a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands!" Chen Le said sternly, Chen Le, who had already fought against Dai Zhen, knew that even if he had learned the avatar technique, he would not be Dai Zhen's opponent.

After he finished washing and getting dressed, he followed Dai Zhen to the car and waited for Wu Jianye.

Five minutes later, Wu Jianye also came out of the corridor, but this time it was only him. After getting in the car, Wu Jianye said, "Let's go and have breakfast!"

The driver turned around and said, "Director Wu, the place has been arranged!"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Then let's go!"

The place they are going to is Jiuji Beef Brisket in Xiangjiang Central. This is a century-old shop in Xiangjiang. It is well-known throughout Xiangjiang, and the owner of this shop is very personal. It opens at 12:30 every day. It is closed on Sundays and holidays. Rest, but even so, there are countless people queuing up every day.

And there is no need to be surprised to meet any celebrities here, because many celebrities are frequent visitors to their homes.

As for why Wu Jianye can eat it as soon as he wakes up in the morning, it is very simple. Someone has already arranged this matter last night, and the owner of Jiuji Beef Brisket is also very personable no matter how personality he has.

Soon a few people came to Jiu Kee Beef Brisket located on Gough Street in Central.

A lot of people gathered here, wanting to go in, but they saw the waiter blocking these people at the door, "Sorry, we have distinguished customers in our store today, so we opened the door earlier, those who want to eat, 12 noon Just come over at :30!"

Regarding this situation, the onlookers did not complain. Although they are living under Western rules, they follow the hierarchy more than people in China. In Xiangjiang, the rich are the privileged class, and they have long been used to this Case.

For example, in the early days, only ghosts could live in luxury houses in the Peak District and Mid-Levels of Xiangjiang, and people from Xiangjiang were not allowed at all.
The waiter quickly saw Wu Jianye, and immediately smiled: "Director Wu, you're here, the ingredients are all ready, and I'm just waiting for you to cook."

"Then let Jiuji take the blame, don't say that I haven't eaten your beef brisket noodles for a while and really miss it!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Then please come inside." The waiter smiled and invited Wu Jianye in.

After several people walked in, they found a table at random and sat down.

Chen Le looked at the crowd outside looking in, and said curiously: "Brother, why do I feel that you are more powerful in Xiangjiang than in Yanjing?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Eat your noodles, why are there so many nonsense!"

If you have money in Xiangjiang, you will be exposed, but in China, having money does not mean everything.
After a while, the waiter came over with four bowls of beef brisket noodles, and a few stacks of side dishes. Wu Jianye added some red oil and vinegar. After eating, the taste was still so authentic.

They didn't stay here for long. After eating the noodles, Wu Jianye and the others left. This time the driver did not drive to the apartment where Zhou Huimin lived, but came to the villa in Repulse Bay.

Before Chen Le could react in this luxurious villa, Gong Xie had already walked out with Wu Qichen in his arms. Seeing Wu Jianye teasing Wu Qichen and being intimate with Gong Xie, Chen Le felt that he had spent the past 20 years in vain up.
Seeing Chen Le's surprised look with a smile, Dai Zhen took him directly back to their room in the villa without saying anything.

Wu Jianye hugged Wu Qichen and chatted with Gong Xi.

In the afternoon, the villa's phone rang.

"Sir, it's Zheng Weng's call." The servant said.

Wu Jianye walked over to answer the phone: "Director Wu, how long are you planning to stay in Xiangjiang this time?"

"Zheng Weng, your news is really well-informed. Every day I just got home, I received your call."

"Haha, I also heard from my security guard today. I didn't know you came back until I saw your car today. Do you have time to sit down tonight? There are some things I want to talk to you about!" Zheng Yutong laughed.

Wu Jianye glanced at Gong Xi who was looking forward to it, and said with a smile: "Zheng Weng, I'm afraid I can't do it today, but tomorrow, tomorrow morning, I'll ask Zheng Weng to talk!"

Zheng Yutong didn't say anything, the two made an appointment to meet tomorrow, and hung up the phone.

Gong Xi asked, "Will it delay your business?"

Wu Jianye took Wu Qichen from Gong Xie's hands, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I guess it's about pure officials, nothing will happen!"

Zheng Yutong has retired this year, and his son was succeeded by Zheng Jiachun, who is known as a pure official in Xiangjiang. Yuzhi Investment is the second largest shareholder of New World. Zheng Yutong will naturally meet Wu Jianye. I hope Wu Jianye can also Trust your eldest son as much as yourself.

After hearing what Wu Jianye said, Gong Xi smiled happily, "Then you won't go out today!"

Wu Jianye lifted Wu Qichen up, teased Wu Qichen with a happy smile, and said, "Don't go out, even if the heavenly king and I don't go out today, the most important thing is to stay at home with your wife and son!"

Gong Xi's smile became sweeter and sweeter.

The two chatted for a while, and Wu Jianye remembered that his stupid younger brother came to Xiangjiang for the first time, so he picked up the phone, called Dai Zhen and Chen Le's room, and called them in .

"Chen Le is coming to Xiangjiang for the first time. I will let someone take you to play in Xiangjiang for a few days. You don't have to come back these days. You know where to live, Dai Zhen. Just look after Chen Le!"

Dai Zhen smiled and said, "I know Angkor!"

Chen Le asked again with certainty: "Brother, where are you?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about my side, just go and play at ease."

Gong Xi said, "If you want to go out to play, you have to wait until after dinner. Your cousin is coming to Xiangjiang for the first time, so he has to have dinner at home!"

Wu Jianye smiled at Chen Le: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Chen Le quickly said, "Thank you sister-in-law."

Hearing Chen Le calling her sister-in-law, Gong Xi seemed even happier.

Thinking that there would be a group of people eating at night anyway, Wu Jianye called Zhao Lei's family, Zhou Tao's family, and Yan Wen's family and asked them to come over for dinner.

Zhao Lei's family was the first to come here. He came to Xiangjiang for a vacation, so naturally he had nothing to do, so the couple came here with Zhao Ling'er in their arms.

As for Zhou Tao's family, it is more troublesome. Sun Qing is not in Xiangjiang at all, but in Pengcheng. The hotel in Pengcheng opens. Sun Qing spends more than half of the year in Pengcheng, which makes Zhou Tao a little reluctant. But there is no other way, Sun Qing's careerism is not much inferior to Qian Sisi's, and now she is focusing on the hotel in Pengcheng.

In the end Zhou Tao just brought Zhou Fei and Zhou Na to the villa.

After Zhou Fei saw Wu Jianye, he immediately ran over with his mouth pouted: "Uncle, where is my game console?"

Wu Jianye knew that Zhou Fei was talking about the Chinese New Year, so he promised his Gameboy, and said with a smile, "I prepared it for you a long time ago. After talking, I went to the bedroom and brought Zhou Fei a Gameboy."

Zhou Fei smiled when he saw this, and started playing with the handheld.

Yanwen and Qian Sisi were the last ones to arrive. Uncle Qian's retirement report will have to wait for a while, so they haven't arrived in Xiangjiang yet. After seeing Qian Sisi, Wu Jianye reprimanded her.

"Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to work, why are you here so late?"

Yan Wen complained from the side: "Brother, you can tell her, you have told her, and she will not be allowed to work, but still don't listen."

Qian Sisi glared at Yan Wen, and then coquettishly said to Wu Jianye: "Brother, my work must not be handed over to the people in the office."

Wu Jianye said: "Tomorrow is the last day, if I can't finish the handover tomorrow, I will call Luo Dazhuang and ask her to resign you directly!"

Although Qian Sisi has finished her internship, she has not officially resigned from Luo Wenjin Law Firm.

Regardless of whether it is now or 30 years later, when it comes to the four major families in Xiangjiang, it must be Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, and Guo Desheng. However, the first generation of the four major families since the opening of Xiangjiang is someone else.

They are the He Tung family, the first richest man in Xiangjiang, and Ho Hongshen, the later Haojiang gambling king, is the grandson of Ho Tung's younger brother He Fu.

The Li Xishen family is also a well-known comprador family in Xiangjiang, but their family history is not so glorious, and Li Xishen also died unexpectedly. Now the descendants of the Li family rely on the ancestral property left by their parents to collect rent, and their wealth also billions
The Gao Kening family, in fact, if you have to subdivide it, the Gao Kening family does not belong to Xiangjiang, but the top wealthy family in Haojiang. At the same time, Gao Kening is also the king of pawnbrokers in Hong Kong and Macau. Wang Fu Laorong's partner is him.

Therefore, some people usually put the Gao Kening family outside the four major families of Xiangjiang, and the Zhou Yongtai family or Li Peicai family replaced their family into the four major families of Xiangjiang.

Since the 50s, the Zhou Yongtai family has been very low-key, with little news, while the Li Peicai family has produced many influential figures, the most outstanding of which is Li Fuzhao, who founded the first Chinese stock exchange.

The last one that is relatively uncontroversial is the Luo Wenjin family. Different from the above several families, although the Luo Wenjin family is also from a comprador background, they later put more energy into Xiangjiang political circles.

Luo Wenjin has risen to the top of the political circle, 28 years old, was canonized as a justice of the peace, 39 years old, served as a defense gentleman and member of the Health Bureau, 42 years old, served as a member of the Legislative Council, 48 years old, awarded her honor by the Emperor, 53 years old, served as a member of the Executive Council , 55 years old, the Emperor knighted him.

There are many lawyers (lawyers) in the Luo family. It is the oldest and most influential family of lawyers in Hong Kong, among which Luo Wenjin is the most famous.

By the way, Luo Wenjin's wife is He Tung's eldest daughter, He Jinzi. When the two got married, the then governor of Hong Kong, Mrs. Mei Hanli, personally attended the congratulations, which shows the influence of the two families in Xiangjiang.

Of course, there are actually many opinions about the four major families in this ranking in Hong Kong and Macau, but the least controversial ones are the Ho Tung family and the Luo Wenjin family.

The current head of Luo Wenjin Law Firm is Luo Wenjin's son, Luo Wenjin, who is known as "Da Luo" in Xiangjiang.

Qian Sisi said helplessly: "Understood, can't you be obedient!"

Seeing Qian Sisi agreeing to Wu Jianye's request, Yanwen smiled happily. Don't look at Yanwen is the top class of a consortium with a market value of tens of billions when he is outside, but he still has nothing to do with his daughter-in-law at home.

Only Lu Fangfang and Wu Jianye can control Qian Sisi, not even Qian Aijun.

"Just know how to laugh!" Qian Sisi gave Yan Wen a blank look.

Then Gong Xi smiled and said: "You too, the first three months of pregnancy are very dangerous for a girl, so don't dare to have any problems at this time."

Qian Sisi studied in Yanjing, and came to Xiangjiang with Yan Wen after graduation. It can be said that both Zhu Jue and Gong Xie have a very good relationship. Said, hugged Gong Xi's arm with a smile, and said coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, I understand, I want to drink your soup today."

Gong Xi said pamperingly: "Okay, my sister-in-law will cook soup for you later, and I will come here often when I have nothing to do. I used to call and ask you to come, but I always said that I am busy with work. This time I have no work. Do you want to come home often?"

Qian Sisi smiled sweetly: "Understood!"

As the hostess, Gong Xi brought Qian Sisi to talk with Chai Ou, while Wu Jianye chatted with Yan Wen and others.

Wu Jianye brought a few people to the study room, and said to Yan Wen: "You can stop investing in RB, and I will give you six months to sell all the company's real estate and stocks in RB!"

After the Plaza Accord, RB has entered a stage of false high-speed development. Whether it is real estate or the stock market, they have developed in a shocking way. Even during the 87 stock market crash, RB's Nikkei index was in reverse growth.

At the time of the Plaza Agreement, Wu Jianye didn't invest too much money in the RB market, but after the stock market crash ended, Wu Jianye asked Yanwen to put most of his experience in the RB market. Especially real estate and stocks. However, RB's economic bubble will reach its peak this year, and Wu Jianye doesn't have to wait until the economic bubble officially bursts next year before leaving the market. It will be too late by then.

Now is the best time to leave the RB market in an orderly manner.

In fact, the RB government has already felt the pressure at this time, and the rise in asset prices has begun to be unable to get the support of the industry, but at this time RB will decide to change its monetary policy. From May this year to August next year, RB Bank raised the central bank five times. The discount rate ranged from 2.5% to 6%. At the same time, the RB Ministry of Finance required all financial institutions to control real estate loans, and the RB Bank required all commercial banks to significantly reduce their loans. By 1991, RB Commercial Bank had actually stopped lending to real estate.

Immediately afterwards, the RB real estate market bubble burst, and then a series of chain reactions, RB also began a decade-long economic recession!
