America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 439 First Contact
Cucumber Li, Li Ji, Zheng Tong, and Guo Sheng, these four people have been together since the 90s and are known as the new four major families of Xiangjiang.

There are new ones, and naturally there are old ones.

The old four major families were He Li Luoli, or He Li Li Zhou.

Anyway, those few families, most of them rose at the end of the 19th century and were very brilliant in the early and middle of the last century.

Back then, the four old families, each with their own abilities, occupied the top spot on Hong Kong Island for decades.

The new four major families, on the other hand, almost all relied on the crazy real estate boom on Hong Kong Island since the 70s, through various monopoly companies, and only took the opportunity to reach the top after the British retreated on a large scale.

Even so, the old Big Four have not completely disappeared.They are in Xiangjiang, a bit like the current American Mellon family.

After hundreds of years of reproduction, the family has many children, and its branches are scattered in various industries on Hong Kong Island, occupying important positions.

On weekdays, they don't look as dazzling as the current Big Four.But if we really want to be serious, the influence of all aspects may not be comparable to them among the new big four.

Of course, now on the bright side, Xiangjiang's most prominent is the new Big Four.

It's just that, Ge Lianghui began to present this kind of spectrum more than [-] years ago.

These four families have monopolized most of HK's industries.

His bodyguard and driver are over there, and he is asking them to come pick him up.

When Ge Lianghui started to cover the sky with one hand in the 80s, Chen Jiajun was not as big as he is now, and the two often "dealed" at that time.

Ge Lianghui of the number group is such a character.

At this moment, Ge Lianghui already felt that the situation was not simple.

At this time, Ge Lianghui realized that today's Central Street is very unusual.

In the small city of Xiangjiang, there was a great era with great waves and treacherous waves.

Even if he is not as lawless and arrogant as before, no ordinary person would dare to mess with him.

Huo Yiguan, who was full of smiles, was stunned by Abel's straightforward words.

It has been going on for so many years, but it still maintains the style of the old Xiangjiang teahouse.

A few seconds later, Huo Yiguan walked out of Lu Yu's tea room.

Seeing Ge Lianghui who hadn't gone far, Chief Superintendent Chen pouted, "What age is it, and you're still messing around with XXX!"

In the antique and charming tea room.

In the morning of this day, Ge Lianghui, who was already in his sixties, went to Lu Yu Tea House on Steinhang Street in Central to have afternoon tea as usual.

Because beside Abel, there is a private chef team composed of outstanding chefs from all over the world.

"Du Na Xing! Tsar Huo is inside! Could it be that Cucumber and the others are also inside? Maybe the commander is in a good mood today and really drinks tea inside?"

Seeking revenge in the streets is very rare after entering the new century.

He was sent here to check on this American population first.

Abel was right. The old man came here on purpose today to disturb Abel's emotional experience in Lu Yu's teahouse.

But there were only two people, sitting opposite each other in the middle seat.

A younger brother of Ge Lianghui said that they are all the cars of the Central Police Station, and even the bosses of other nearby police stations...

"Get out, Lu Yu's tea room is not open today, get out as far as you can, understand? Otherwise, your mahjong room and KTV bar will be in trouble, understand?"

In fact, today's Hong Kong Island is no longer the same as it was back then.

So the current Ge Lianghui doesn't have the momentum he had back then.

Because Chen Jiajun and his two young men felt indifferent to the two ghosts who obviously held a wooden warehouse at the door of Lu Yu's tea room.

When people get old, they like nostalgia.

Chen Jiajun reprimanded directly.

Its interior decoration can be described as antique.The old waiters in traditional Tang costumes and the nostalgic dishes make it easy for people to feel deeply that they are here [drinking tea].

but a foreigner.

Hong Kong Island no longer has the soil for the big scenes of chopping each other on the street in those movies.

Second-tier Chinese tycoons like "Fan Liu", as well as the forces left behind by ghosts such as Taikoo, Jiadui, Jardine, and HSBC.

Now, being scolded by Chen Jiajun like that, Ge Lianghui could only keep a dark face, yelled "Go", turned around and left.

But, like other big names in the gray area of ​​​​the year.

These people are also more arrogant than ordinary people.

There are many of them, and they are also richer than ordinary people.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ge Lianghui found three notes in front of him, and the one in front of him was his "acquaintance" named Chen Jiajun.

And at this time, David Jones, who had been smiling by the side and stood still, also bent down and said softly in English:

Many times, I will be afraid and shrink back. After all, in that era, everyone knows everything.

Now that Abel said this, Huo Yiguan felt that his task seemed to be completed, but it seemed that he had not completed anything.

In the past, as the top leader of the number group, Ge Lianghui would push back no matter what for the sake of face.

Instead of being arrogant and domineering like before, arrogant...

It's just that I didn't bring a watermelon knife, and I don't want to bring that thing now.

The old man spoke proficient English, smiled and introduced to Abel the signature dishes of Lu Yu Teahouse:

Ge Lianghui didn't go far, but hid in the distance and observed around Lu Yu's teahouse.

Huo Yiguan knew this, but he didn't expect Abel to eat it.

If they are placed in a broader environment, such as the international community to compete.

Therefore, when preparing this dim sum for foreigners, many times, the chefs will not put the red onion that Chinese people like.

As for other aspects, there is naturally a taller person to worry about...

"STOP! Go back and shine!" (Stop! Go back and shine!)
The white giant had no expression on his face, and yelled loudly at Ge Lianghui, who was once one of the double-flowered red sticks.

The former bigwig was amnesty, so he jumped to the note, "Sir, I want to report. There is something wrong with reporting those two ghosts, look at their waists, what is it if it's not a wooden warehouse?"

Bill Gates once visited in 1994 under the guise of leisure tourism.

Hiding in his car, the former gangster Ge Lianghui was very curious about who was drinking tea in Lu Yu's teahouse at the moment.

Seeing two black ghosts and white ghosts blocking the way, Ge Lianghui couldn't help frowning slightly.

But Abel didn't find it strange or reminiscent.

The old man actually came in halfway. Abel was here today, and he didn't invite him specially, nor was he entertaining Abel.

In addition to these four, Xiangjiang naturally has many other rich people.

If in the past, even guys like them faced ghosts on Hong Kong Island.

If the world's richest man can invest, even if the scale is small, Huo Yiguan thinks it will be a great achievement.

"It's more complicated to make, and many restaurants don't or refuse to do it or do it badly. Just here at Lu Yu Tea House, it's done very well, and the taste has been the same for decades."

But now, Superintendent Chen has dozens of ways to make Ge Lianghui unhappy.

Abel smiled, but instead of picking up the knife and fork specially prepared for him as a foreigner, he picked up the chopsticks next to him.

Lu Yu Tea Room has three floors. The first floor is the reception area for individual customers, and the second and third floors are the group reservation area. Under normal circumstances, guests who do not want to be disturbed are in the downstairs box.

Huo Yiguan didn't know that his appearance at the door of Lu Yu's teahouse surprised Ge Lianghui, who was secretly watching from a distance.

While ensuring heat and quantity, Abel’s food is often prepared for him by a group of the world’s most outstanding chefs with different flavors.

Even if it is not necessary now, one of the top leaders of the number group still thinks that this kind of battle is necessary.

They just watched and waited from a distance, their eyes were curious and somewhat awed.

"It tastes good. But there doesn't seem to be any red onion in it? It's not authentic enough, it should be specially prepared for foreigners."

Huo Yiguan quickly reacted, and continued to smile and say:
"If this is the case, we welcome it infinitely. Not only Hong Kong Island, we have a wider beauty, which can let Mr. Smith experience the mystery and elegance of the East."

Huo Yiguan was really a little surprised, the old man didn't expect the world's richest man and the boss of an American conglomerate in front of him.

In the team, there are even Chinese food masters at the inland national chef level.

Not only are the chopsticks so good, but you can also taste the characteristics of this smooth chicken ball bun.

Ordinary people can't recognize them, but Ge Lianghui has "professionals" who specialize in memorizing these numbers.

"Of course, I'd go if I had the chance. Like Bill Gates, David Rockefeller, and the others."

On this day, I was sitting in a Mercedes-Benz car that most ordinary people on Hong Kong Island could not afford.

But the facts have proved that they are dragons or tigers in Hong Kong.But once they leave Hong Kong, most of them become worms outside...

he thought.

It's better to say that he remembers his lost youth and past glory.

He also made many movies, which fascinated many children with incomplete views.

Ge Lianghui came every day, saying that he wanted to taste the delicious snacks in the tea room.

[Du Naxing, it's the 21st century, no one dares to openly bring a wooden warehouse on the street, right? 】

Just as he was terrified, several police officers in police uniforms suddenly walked by.

Of course, even without the previous "covering the sky with one hand".

There are also Jiadui and other ghost consortiums, which are not of the same kind.

After all, he was a ten-year-old hero who dared to drive a speedboat to fight pirates and water bandits at sea.

Everyone else is standing.

However, Ge Lianghui and his group were blocked by two burly black and white men in black suits with stern faces at the door of Lu Yu's tea room.

When approaching the door, Huo Yiguan did see a young and beautiful foreign girl and was ushered in.

Huo Yiguan still wanted to say a few more words, but he also knew that it would be useless to say a few more words.

For a patriotic old gentleman, this is simply wished for.

After the sun came down, the mice ran to their deaths, and most of them hid like Ge Lianghui and lived a well-behaved life.

Thanks to Gui Lao's "blessing", Ge Lianghui has never been brought to justice.

The old man did not expect that this ghost would be so direct.

There is absolutely no way for them to gain their status in Xiangjiang.

Looking at the small cage in front of me, there can only be one big bag of chicken balls.

Although not as beautiful as before, Ge Lianghui feels that he is now one of the big men in the city.

Under the eaves, the bigwigs of the rivers and lakes could only smile and say:
"Sir, I just want to go in and drink tea. But look..."

That era happened to be the most glorious youthful years for people like Ge Lianghui.

And in Lu Yu's tea room where Ge Lianghui was extremely curious.

If it was before, Ge Lianghui would even dare to choke back.

The old man could only smile, and under the watchful eyes of a group of ghosts, he stood up gracefully and walked outside.

"Hey, what are you doing. We're going up for tea. You go away."

The younger brother who led the way could even speak a few words of simple English.

Even if it is at the bottom, it is higher than ordinary people.

"Bad boy Hui! What are you doing here?!" Chen Jiajun frowned.

Probably that Miss Beneteau.

Before the Shuanghua Dahongstick boy could make a move, Ge Lianghui's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face suddenly changed dramatically.

Ge Lianghui got off near Lu Yu's teahouse.

The gray area of ​​the city used to make outsiders quite curious.

But Abel didn't respond positively. He just smiled and said, "I think... there should be such a day."

If he really wants to invest, Huo Yiguan feels that the money must not be small.

There are no such conditions when going out, and only bring a Chinese chef, a barbecue master and a French chef.

"Is there a big party for the messengers? Could it be that the chief is drinking tea on it? But I have never heard of the reason why the chief uses ghost bodyguards..."

Immediately, his face turned red from the excitement, and he was about to yell back, his hands were still subconsciously waving, as if he was about to strike.

But this group of rich people on Hong Kong Island, except for Huo with a special status.

The old man had no choice but to give a thumbs up and praised loudly: "Mr. Smith, you are really amazing. You can eat all of this, and many of us can't eat it."

Just like that, the two boys in front cleared the way, and Ge Lianghui took the lead in walking forward.

Ge Lianghui is not as afraid of ghosts as before.

Downstairs, the individual visitor reception area can accommodate up to hundreds of guests, although there are also more than [-] people.

There is no discussion about the specific time or anything.

That is to tell the whole world that there is a super hot spot for investment. Didn’t you see that even the world’s richest man is here?
There are good advertising benefits here.

During this period, even the richest man in the world invested.

In addition to these glamorous rich people and consortiums that were born in the great era.

Being in it will give people a feeling as if they have returned to Hong Kong Island V and 1960.

At this moment, as Chen Jiajun said, he was temporarily taken over.

Where was one of the once double-flowered red sticks yelled at like this?
Even his boss, Ge Lianghui, never yelled at him like that.

The other party returned a ladylike smile.

Now that I hear Abel, I want to see others.

It can only be said that the special environment in Xiangjiang back then created them and a large number of rich people.

Lord Rabbit is kind-hearted and doesn't want to see such a scene.

"Pooh--"

"Oh, maybe we can find a time now? Mr. Smith, you are very welcome." Huo Yiguan said with a smile.

Although there are still passers-by, or tourists pass by from time to time.

Huo Yiguan also heard it.

What's more, back then, Lu Yu's tea room was still one of the places that people like them liked to go to when they were "talking about numbers".

This gave Ge Lianghui a sense of pride that he was a big shot, and the idlers avoided him.

Into the new century, the sun shone, and the grays returned to where they belonged.

Now is the time when investment attraction is the hottest, and foreign investment is extremely welcome.

Once again, the number is even more.

But many foreigners don't like the taste of red onions.

That is both the face and the inside.

But in this city, many times now, his words are more effective than the so-called old four and new four.

Abel put down his chopsticks, looked directly at Huo Yiguan, and suddenly said seriously:
"Henry Huo, let me call you Mr. Huo. I know that you come to me, you mean over there. But I want to tell you, I won't do anything here, I just pass by and want to experience it The flavor of the ancient oriental country with a long history of civilization, and no other bad thoughts, I will go to Southeast Asia in two days. You can feedback my words to there. To be honest, I am here to travel."

Abel shrugged his shoulders in an American way. He knew this movement, and it was the most familiar gesture for Chinese people to ghosts.

Lu Yu Tea House has a history of more than 60 years.

But today, none of the boxes upstairs are open.

Abel laughed and commented.

After getting off the car, many of Ge Lianghui's younger brothers and horse boys immediately dispersed around him to guard, forming a vacuum zone.

Who is the identity of the old gentleman, which is most suitable for completing this kind of task.

Huo Yiguan had already achieved his goal, he quickly stood up, and said with a sensible smile:
"Ah, since Mr. Smith wants to see other guests. Then I'll leave first. I'm sorry for disturbing you."

But near Lu Yu's teahouse, many vehicles were parked, and some of them were parked illegally.Many of Ge Lianghui's younger brothers knew the license plates of these vehicles.

"Boss, Miss Beneteau has arrived."

In the 80s and 90s of last century, in that chaotic era.

The vehicles on the road didn't stop much.

But the person drinking tea inside was not the Chief Executive of Hong Kong Island that Ge Lianghui had imagined.

And some passing citizens, or foreign and foreign tourists who came to travel, saw this kind of scene, of course, they would not foolishly join in.

The two black and white giants guarding the door ignored him. Huo Yiguan stood at the door of the tea room and waved his hand in the direction of the north side of Shidanhang Street in Central.

Abel smiled and didn't speak again.

"Mr. Smith, look at this steamed chicken ball bun. It is made of shrimp, mushroom, barbecued pork, chicken thigh, meat smooth, salted egg yolk, scallop and other materials. It should be more in line with your American taste. You want to taste Chinese food. If so, it is definitely a choice not to be missed.”

Because the normal chicken ball buns do need to add red oil and shallots.

The former gangster has a lot of experience.These experiences made Ge Lianghui keenly discover that the two foreigners had already put their hands on their waists and stared at him with cold and stern eyes.

They use HK as their base camp and operate various businesses around the world.

Huo Yiguan thought that Abel, like other foreigners, had milk and steak sandwiches every day, so he was very wrong.

That old guy David has been here many times.

One of them is naturally the big capitalist from the United States, the richest man in the world, Abel Smith.

What's more, the American media have long let foreigners who care about American news, almost everyone know the super strong strength of the world's richest man in front of them.

The taste is really good, and it is full of fresh fragrance after one bite.

He really took the mission.

But Ge Lianghui didn't know that if possible, Cucumber and the others really hoped to go in and have a cup of tea with Abel.

Abel held the chopsticks skillfully, and put a chopstick on the traditional Cantonese pastry. Looking at Huo Yiguan who was opposite him with a slightly surprised look, he put it in his mouth and tasted it.

Ge Lianghui's power is more than ten times stronger than it is now.

Outside of Hong Kong Island and the Chinese community, more than 99% of people have never heard of it.

Another very old gentleman is Chinese.This old man does not have a great reputation internationally.

But now, it's the new century.

The old gentleman nodded politely to the other party, which was regarded as a greeting.

Abel is not in the mood to meet and drink tea with other wealthy Chinese.

In his eyes, this is just a bunch of old hats who hide in Hong Kong Island and occupy themselves as kings.

If it comes to the international market, Abel has at least 100 ways to make them cry for their parents...

Didn't you see that in London last year, did he bury some of these people in advance?
Based on Abel's current position, if he attacks these people, he will really show no mercy at all.
