Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King
Chapter 317 Xixian, what are you doing?
Sheng Jiale nodded and said.
Early the next morning, Sheng Jiale and Ruan Ruanmei walked out of the villa. Behind him were Luo Tianhong carrying luggage and a team of elite killers.
"lets go."
Sheng Jiale got into the car and ordered.
"Yes, boss." Luo Tianhong put the luggage in the trunk, then sat in the driver's seat and drove Sheng Jiale towards the airport.
Two hours later.
Sheng Jiale's plane landed slowly at Hong Kong Island International Airport.
Sheng Jiale and Ruan Mei walked off the plane together, and the latter held Sheng Jiale's arm tightly.
At this time, people from the Qiangsheng Group were already waiting here at the airport gate, and they had arranged a whole fleet of luxury cars, as well as a large number of young men in black suits.
The ostentation was so huge that pedestrians at the airport turned their attention to it, but the security personnel at the airport seemed very calm.
He had seen such a scene many times during this period and knew that these people were from Qiangsheng Group and were here to greet their chairman Sheng Jiale.
"Boss, please get in the car."
Luo Tianhong opened the car door and said respectfully.
Sheng Jiale nodded and pulled Ruan Mei to sit in the back row.
"Boss, go back to the company or go home?"
Luo Tianhong asked after closing the door.
"Go home first." Sheng Jiale ordered calmly. He missed Xinxin Xixinlii very much after not seeing him for a long time.
"Yes."
Luo Tianhong nodded and drove the vehicle towards Repulse Bay.
Repulse Bay villa area.
After Sheng Jiale got out of the car, he saw two beautiful figures standing in front of the villa, namely Xinxin and Xixili.
"Boss, you're back."
Seeing Sheng Jiale, Xixinlio trotted over and threw herself into Sheng Jiale's arms, rubbing her little face against Sheng Jiale's chest.
In contrast, Xinxin was much more reserved. She walked slowly but with uncontrollable joy on her face.
A pair of eyes like autumn water looked at Sheng Jiale, and the sparkling autumn waves kept rippling.
"Boss, welcome back." Xinxin said softly.
Sheng Jiale laughed, took Xinxin's hand, and held her in his arms.
Xinxin suddenly blushed, but she did not resist. She also longed to hug Sheng Jiale in her heart, but she was too shy to show it.
After Sheng Jiale was intimate with the two for a while, he patted Xixiaoli's little head and pulled her out of his arms.
"Okay, Tianhong is still watching from behind, so don't give him dog food. Let's go in."
Sheng Jiale's words immediately caused Xinxin, Ruan Mei, and Xixili to blush, and they glanced at Luo Tianhong who was standing by the car.
However, Luo Tianhong, as a straight man who is a martial arts fanatic, doesn't care about dog food or not at all. His face is as calm as water, as if he hasn't seen anything.
Then Sheng Jiale led the three of them into the villa.
Ding ding ding.
As soon as Sheng Jiale sat down on the sofa, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Huo Jingliang.
Sheng Jiale pressed the answer button and said, "Mr. Huo, your information is quite good. I called you just after I got home."
Huo Jingliang laughed and said, "I don't pay attention to you all the time. Xixian told me the news about your return. I just have to hold a banquet tonight. Do you have time?"
Come here to get together, Xixian often nags me, saying that I haven’t seen you in a long time. "
Hearing this, Sheng Jiale pondered for a while, then glanced at the three Xinxin people who were talking at the side, and saw that they didn't pay attention.
Sheng Jiale lowered his voice unconsciously and replied: "No problem, I will be there when the time comes."
"That's good, I'll be waiting for you Mr. Sheng." Huo Jingliang said with a smile.
Sheng Jiale hung up the phone.
"What's wrong, boss, what's going on?" Xinxin asked.
"Nothing, Huo Jingliang called me to tell me some business matters." Sheng Jiale said casually.
Xinxin didn't pay attention and pulled Ruan Mei with Xixili to ask questions, asking what happened to her and Sheng Jiale in Wanwan these days.
Sheng Jiale did not get involved in the gossip of the three women. He poured himself a glass of ice water, and after drinking it, what came to his mind was what gift should he bring to Huo Jingliang's dinner party that evening?
Of course he couldn't go empty-handed when he went to see Huo Jingliang, especially after such a long time. It would be too rude if he didn't bring a gift.
After all, Huo Jingliang also helped him a lot.
Time soon came to night, and Sheng Jiale found an excuse to leave the Repulse Bay Villa.
"Tianhong, go to the shopping mall first." Sheng Jiale ordered.
"Good boss."
Luo Tianhong agreed, stepped on the accelerator and drove away from Repulse Bay.
Sheng Jiale went to the shopping mall to prepare a gift for Huo Jingliang. It was not an important thing in itself, it was just a dinner, so the gift did not need to be expensive, just meaningful.
In the shopping mall, Sheng Jiale chose a set of exquisite blue and white porcelain tea sets and prepared to use this as a gift.
Then he and Luo Tianhong drove towards Huo Jingliang's Taipingshan Villa.
It was already completely dark at this time, especially around Taiping Mountain. There were few people here, and the entire Taiping Mountain was shrouded in night.
However, the top of the mountain is brightly lit. From a distance, it looks like a pearl, shining brightly on the top of the mountain.
Along the winding mountain road, Sheng Jiale arrived at the gate of the manor.
"Boss, we're here." Luo Tianhong helped Sheng Jiale open the car door.
Sheng Jiale got out of the car and the first thing he saw was Huo Xixian standing at the door of the manor, receiving guests.
Huo Xixian was dressed exceptionally beautifully tonight. She was already tall, and now she was wearing a black low-cut evening dress, which further highlighted her figure.
The evening dress was made of soft fabric and was cut very appropriately. It tightly wrapped Huo Xixian's body and highlighted the bulging figure, making Huo Xixian look charming.
Sheng Jiale took Luo Tianhong and walked towards Huo Xixian.
Over there, Huo Xixian had just greeted a guest. He turned around and saw Sheng Jiale walking over. His beautiful eyes suddenly lit up and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Sheng Jiale, you're here, long time no see."
Huo Xixian greeted Sheng Jiale, then lifted up his skirt gracefully and treated Sheng Jiale with aristocratic etiquette.
Sheng Jiale walked in front of her and said with a smile: "Xixian, should I hold your hand now and kiss the back of it?"
"It's not as exaggerated as you said. I'm not a princess." Huo Xixian also said with a smile.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they didn't feel that they were indifferent to each other, and they had already become warm after just two or three words.
"Sheng Jiale, come with me. Dad is waiting for you in the study."
After Huo Xixian finished chatting with Sheng Jiale, he took Sheng Jiale into the manor.
At this time, both the villa and the courtyard in the manor have been decorated like a banquet.
Sheng Jiale followed Huo Xixian into the villa and saw the hall on the first floor decorated with lights. The first thing that caught his eye was a bright red carpet, which divided the entire hall into two.
There are long banquet tables on both sides, with all kinds of cold food on them, a dazzling array of varieties.
A large number of guests were standing in the hall, gathering together in twos and threes, chatting or drinking.
The guests who were able to attend Huo Jingliang's banquet were all of high status and were from the upper class of Hong Kong Island.
The men wore high-end suits, held champagne and red wine in their hands, talked very well, and behaved politely.
The ladies, like Huo Xixian, wore low-cut evening gowns and looked charming.
There are also several famous social butterflies among them, walking among the men, talking and laughing.
From time to time, a lady's charming smile would be heard in the hall. Although the banquet had not officially started, the atmosphere was already extremely lively.
"Sheng Jiale, follow me."
Huo Xixian said, taking Sheng Jiale to the second floor of the villa and walked to Huo Jingliang's study.
dong dong dong.
Huo Xixian knocked on the door, then opened the door and went in, saying, "Dad, Sheng Jiale is here." Sheng Jiale followed him in and saw Huo Jingliang sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigar. He smiled and said hello: "Mr. Huo, I'm here."
"Haha, Sheng Jiale, you came just in time, come and sit."
Huo Jingliang greeted, then waved to Huo Xixian and said, "Xixian, please greet the other guests. Mr. Sheng and I will talk about something."
"it is good."
Huo Xixian nodded, knowing that they were going to talk about business, so he stopped disturbing them too much, closed the study door and left.
After the door was closed, Huo Jingliang opened a delicate box placed on the coffee table, which contained fine cigars.
Huo Jingliang took out one and threw it to Sheng Jiale.
Facing the thrown cigar, Sheng Jiale stretched out two fingers, clamped it firmly, put it under his nose and smelled it.
Sensing the various flavors in the cigar, Sheng Jiale's eyes lit up and he said, "Mr. Huo, where did you get this cigar? The quality is even better than the Cuban cigars I have smoked before."
Huo Jingliang laughed and said, "This is a rare good thing, and I only got this small box.
This kind of cigar comes from a small and remote tribe in Nigeria. The output is very small and there is no way to mass-produce it. "
"Oh? Nizhou?" Sheng Jiale asked curiously.
"I also have some business there."
Huo Jingliang introduced.
Sheng Jiale nodded, becoming more interested in this cigar. He picked up the cigar scissors, cut off one end of the cigar with a click, and took out a special lighter for cigars to light it.
Sheng Jiale took a nice puff, exhaled a large cloud of smoke, felt the refreshing feeling in his body, and said, "What a good thing. Mr. Huo, are there really no more?"
Sheng Jiale wants to get some back.
Huo Jingliang shook his head and said, "No, the output is only so much, and I can't do anything about it, but if you want it, we can split this box into two."
"it is good."
Sheng Jiale did not refuse, and he would not be polite to Huo Jingliang. The relationship between the two was no longer as simple as a partnership.
Then the two of them puffed away in the study room.
Half-smoking a cigar, Sheng Jiale said, "Mr. Huo, I see that you are always frowning. Is there something on your mind?"
Sheng Jiale had long noticed a trace of sadness on Huo Jingliang's eyebrows, and guessed that Huo Jingliang came to him not only for attending the banquet, but also for other things.
Sure enough, Huo Jingliang slowly said: "I really can't hide it from your eyes. Indeed, I came to you this time for other things."
"Let's talk and see if I can help." Sheng Jiale asked.
Huo Jingliang nodded and said, "I bought a piece of land from a company in Nizhou.
But just as construction began to excavate the foundation, gold was discovered. "
"Gold mine? Isn't this a good thing?" When Sheng Jiale heard about the gold mine, he became interested and asked.
"It was originally a good thing."
Huo Jingliang sighed and said: "But the news of the discovery of the gold mine quickly leaked out and was learned by the local indigenous warlords.
They are eyeing gold mines. You also know that in Nizhou, there is no order at all due to wars all year round. The warlord there is the emperor. "
"Indeed."
Sheng Jiale agreed.
He also has some understanding of the situation in Nigeria.
“They came to me and wanted to buy the gold mine at an extreme price, but how could I let go of the fat in my mouth, so I had a conflict with them.
It's just that my company in Nigeria is mainly business-oriented. First of all, the strength in hand is not strong, and it is at a disadvantage compared with those warlords. "
After speaking, Huo Jingliang paused, then looked at Sheng Jiale and said, "Mr. Sheng, I know that your Qiangsheng Security Company has a large number of security personnel, and they are all elite and have strong combat effectiveness.
I wonder if you are interested in gold mining? "
"Of course I'm interested," Sheng Jiale said decisively.
Developing gold mines can definitely be said to be a hugely profitable industry, and gold will always be the hard currency in this world.
"It will be easy if Mr. Sheng is interested."
Huo Jingliang breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was that Sheng Jiale was not interested in gold mines.
"Mr. Sheng, I invite you to join me in the development of the gold mine and work together to protect the gold mine."
"Of course, I won't let Mr. Sheng's efforts go in vain."
Huo Jingliang laughed, raised three fingers and said, "Let's develop the gold mine together. I'm willing to give 30% of the proceeds to Mr. Sheng."
"Thirty percent?"
Sheng Jiale frowned. Although he had a good relationship with Huo Jingliang, he still had to make things clear when it came to business matters.
Brothers must also settle accounts.
"Thirty percent is already a lot." Huo Jingliang explained: "Mr. Sheng, do you know how to mine gold? Do you have the corresponding equipment and technical personnel?"
Sheng Jiale shook his head, he really didn't have these.
Huo Jianliang continued: "You only need to be responsible for the security of the gold mine so that the warlords cannot reach out.
Apart from this, Mr. Sheng does not have to worry about anything. I am responsible for all the mining and transportation of gold mines. "
Hearing these words, Sheng Jiale also nodded slightly, agreeing with Huo Jingliang's words.
If calculated like this, he only needs to pay some labor costs to get 30% of the gold mine's income, which is really not a small amount.
After all, gold mines do not mean that you can dig out gold with a hoe. You need to purchase professional large-scale mining machines.
Moreover, the difficulty of mining gold mines is not low. After it is dug out, it is not the finished gold directly. It also requires tedious processes such as smelting and purification. Each process costs a lot of money.
After deducting all costs, plus the cost of smoothing relationships in all aspects, Huo Jingliang's achievement is good if he can only leave three or four out of the 70%.
"Okay, I agree to cooperate." Sheng Jiale nodded.
"Hahaha, with Mr. Sheng's cooperation, it will be easier." Huo Jingliang said with a smile, looking very happy.
He is very confident in the strength of Qiangsheng Group.
Sheng Jiale has risen at a comet-like speed since its debut, and in successive external battles, it has won all of them with an overwhelming advantage.
Huo Jingliang believed that Sheng Jiale's manpower would not be a problem against the warlords in Nigeria.
After all, it can be said that everyone knows the qualities of the Nigerian warlord.
Warlord is just a general term. In fact, most of them are just larger gangs, unorganized and undisciplined stragglers.
Often when a few hundred people gather together, they dare to call themselves generals. In ancient times, they were bandits and robbers who dominated the mountains and became kings.
As for the gap between the two sides, Huo Jingliang was worried that Sheng Jiale's personnel had not used firearms.
But this is not a problem. There is no control over firearms in Nigeria, and large quantities of military supplies can be purchased casually.
But what Huo Jingliang didn't know was that the people under Sheng Jiale were no strangers to firearms. There was a high-end Ronin Killer Training Camp, which had all kinds of firearms.
On a simpler level, there is Qiangsheng Security Company, which conducts regular small firearms and automatic firearms training.
"Mr. Sheng, come, let's have a drink."
After Huo Jingliang and Sheng Jiale finished talking about business, he took out a bottle of Lafite 1982 from the wine cabinet and poured a glass of wine for Sheng Jiale.
"cheers."
Sheng Jiale raised his glass.
The two clinked glasses, then drank red wine, smoked cigars, and chatted about interesting things. They had a great time chatting.
Soon the cigar was finished and the red wine was bottomed out.
Huo Jingliang said: "Mr. Sheng, it's almost time. I think Xixian is anxious waiting outside. You go out and chat with her."
Sheng Jiale also laughed when he heard this, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll take my leave first."
With that said, Sheng Jiale left the study.
Sure enough, I saw Huo Xixian waiting outside.
At this time, Huo Xixian puffed out his cheeks and stood leaning against the wall, playing with his hair with one finger out of boredom.
"Xixian, what are you doing?" Sheng Jiale asked. (End of chapter)
