Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King

Awu suddenly smiled, then opened the car door and let Tony and Dasha get in the car.

The convoy drove directly to Sheng Jiale's mid-level villa.

In the living room of the villa.

Sheng Jiale met Dasha and Tony here.

"Dasha, you're here." Sheng Jiale smiled.

"Master, it's great to see you getting engaged." Dasha said excitedly.

He grew up watching Sheng Jiale and has always regarded Sheng Jiale as a close relative. Ever since Sheng Jiale established Qiangsheng Group, he has been worried about Sheng Jiale's marriage.

In the eyes of people of Dasha's age, after young people have a successful career, getting married as soon as possible and having children is the top goal.

However, Sheng Jiale has always had no feelings about this matter, leaving Dasha helpless.

Fortunately, Sheng Jiale is finally engaged now, how can Dasha be unhappy.

At this time Tony said: "Boss, after Dasha learned that I was going to host the engagement ceremony, he said that he would handle it with me."

"Okay, with Dasha's help, you can feel more relaxed." Sheng Jiale nodded with a smile.

He also had great trust in Dasha's ability. In fact, if Dasha was not considering that he was old and might not be able to handle such a tedious task as hosting an engagement ceremony, his first choice would have been Dasha.

Since Dasha offered to help, Sheng Jiale certainly would not refuse.

"Where is that girl?" Dasha asked.

Sheng Jiale said with a smile: "I'm not engaged yet, of course it will be at my own home."

Then seeing Dasha's expression, he thought for a moment and said, "Well, Dasha, take a rest first, and then we'll go visit and meet the parents."

"Why rest? Let's go now." Dasha said directly.

"OK then."

Seeing Dasha being so anxious, Sheng Jiale didn't say anything. Anyway, it was just an hour's boat ride, and it was a luxury yacht, so it wouldn't be too tiring.

Sheng Jiale nodded and got into the car with Dasha.

"Go to the mountaintop manor." Sheng Jiale ordered.

"Yes, boss."

Luo Tianhong nodded and drove out in the Rolls-Royce.

Half an hour later.

Hilltop estate.

The Rolls-Royce drove straight to the courtyard.

"Boss, we're here." Luo Tianhong respectfully helped Sheng Jiale open the car door.

Sheng Jiale got out of the car and walked into the villa with Dasha.

He Xin is sitting in the living room. There is a cup of hot tea and a book of advanced golf skills on the coffee table in front of him, and he is looking at it with relish.

"Uncle He, I'm here."

Sheng Jiale coughed and said.

He Xin raised his head and saw that it was Sheng Jiale, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Haha, good son-in-law, you are here."

Although Sheng Jiale and He Tianer are not officially engaged yet, his title has already changed.

"Who is this?"

Then He Xin looked at Dasha beside Sheng Jiale and asked.

"Uncle He, this is Dasha, the elder who watched me grow up."

Sheng Jiale introduced.

Dasha nodded to He Xin and said, "Hello, Mr. He, I am the young master's housekeeper. Just call me Ah Fu."

Dasha did not rely on his old age, but said seriously, after all, his identity, strictly speaking, is just the butler of the Sheng family.

But even though Dasha said that, of course He Xin couldn't be called Afu.

He Xin could see that Sheng Jiale respected Dasha very much, otherwise he would not have brought him to see him personally.

He Xin said with a smile: "I'd better call you Dasha like Sheng Jiale."

Anyway, at his age, it wouldn't be inappropriate to call him Dasha.

He Xin still belongs to the middle-aged category, while Dasha has gray hair and looks like an old man.

"Come on, sit down, sit down." He Xin said, letting Sheng Jiale and Dasha sit down on the sofa, then personally picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

The three of them drank tea and exchanged greetings for a few words before Dasha said: "Now the young master is finally getting engaged. Alas, I think the master and his wife will be very happy under Jiuquan."

Hearing this, He Xin nodded heavily.

Naturally, he knew about Sheng Jiale's identity and background. He knew that Sheng Jiale's father and mother died in accidents, and now he can be said to be alone.

At the same time, he also understood that Sheng Jiale's purpose in bringing Dasha here was to act as a father figure to him. After all, it would be unjustifiable if only He Xin was present at the engagement ceremony and none of Sheng Jiale's elders showed up.

The engagement ceremony must always be witnessed by elders.

Dasha continued: "The master and his wife left just a few years ago and did not leave any family fortune to the young master, but fortunately, the young master was very ambitious and established the Qiangsheng Group in a short period of time.

It's even bigger than the master's family business back then. Now that the master is getting engaged, there are no elders, so I can only help the master host the engagement ceremony. "

Dasha's words also confirmed He Xin's guess.

He Xin sighed, feeling even more satisfied with Sheng Jiale.

He imagined what would happen if he were replaced by Sheng Jiale? Can the family business be revived and developed to where it is today in such a short period of time?

He Xin has no answer to this hypothesis.

"Dad, is Sheng Jiale here?"

While the three of them were chatting, the door of the villa opened and He Tian'er walked in from outside carrying a shopping bag.

She had gone shopping in the city before, and her engagement ceremony was about to be held. She always wanted to buy some jewelry that she wanted.

He Tian'er saw Luo Tianhong and Rolls-Royce in the courtyard and guessed that Sheng Jiale was here.

Sure enough, the next thing he saw was Sheng Jiale sitting on the sofa.

He Tian'er's eyes suddenly lit up, he hurriedly put down the shopping bag in his hand, and trotted to Sheng Jiale.

Regardless of the presence of He Xin and Dasha, he squeezed onto the same sofa as Sheng Jiale, holding Sheng Jiale's arm with a happy smile on his face.

"You are so presumptuous in the presence of elders. Why don't you say hello? This is the elder of Sheng Jiale, his name is Dasha."

He Xin coughed and said.

Only then did He Tianer realize that there was an old man with gray hair sitting on the sofa next to him.

During her time in Hong Kong Island, she had also met Dasha before. Knowing that this was an elder whom Sheng Jiale respected, she immediately stood up and said respectfully:
"Hello Dasha, I am He Tian'er."

"Okay, okay, the girl is indeed pretty." Dasha looked at He Tian'er with a satisfied smile on his face and nodded.

He Tian'er has a pleasant appearance and is He Xin's daughter. He and Sheng Jiale are a good match, and Dasha can clearly see that He Tian'er has very deep feelings for Sheng Jiale.

This can be seen from the moment she walked in the door and got tired of being next to Sheng Jiale.

Then Dasha, like an ordinary old man, pulled He Tian'er and kept chatting about home affairs, and the atmosphere in the living room was very harmonious.

Some time later, there were still two days until the engagement ceremony.

On this day, Sheng Jiale received news that Huo Jingliang was about to arrive in Haojiang by boat.

"Tianhong, Awu, come with me to the pier to meet Mr. Huo."

Sheng Jiale ordered.

"Yes, boss."

The two of them followed Sheng Jiale into the car, and then led a large number of young men to form a luxury convoy and drove to Haojiang Pier.

After all, the person coming is Huo Jingliang. As the inviter, Sheng Jiale must pick up the boat and prepare the corresponding pomp. These are the most basic etiquette.

On the Haojiang Pier, Sheng Jiale and his people arrived early and waited quietly on the pier.

Sheng Jiale stood at the front, and beside him were Luo Tianhong, who was wearing a crisp suit, and Jiaqian Ge Awu.

Behind the three people, there were rows of security personnel of Qiangsheng Group standing straight, looking very grand.

The other tourists on the pier all looked sideways and couldn't help but wonder, who could be such a big boss?

When they looked at Sheng Jiale, they looked very unfamiliar, unlike the local big guys in Haojiang.

Woo.

Not long after, a luxury yacht appeared on the sea. It approached the dock and the sailors put down the gangplank. Huo Jingliang walked slowly onto the dock without haste.

"Mr. Huo, welcome to Haojiang."

Sheng Jiale walked closer and said with a smile.

"Mr. Sheng, why did you bring so many people to pick me up?"

Huo Jingliang walked up to Sheng Jiale and said with a smile.

The Sheng family smiled happily, shook hands with Huo Jingliang, and then said, "Mr. Huo came all the way to attend my engagement ceremony. How can I show my sincerity without making it grander?"

"Come on, Mr. Huo, get in the car. Let's go to my house to drink tea and chat while we drink."

Sheng Jiale said, and asked Huo Jingliang to get in the car. The two sat in the back seat, and Luo Tianhong closed the car door respectfully behind him.

"Let's go." Sheng Jiale ordered, and the entire convoy immediately left the Haojiang Pier and drove towards the Mid-Levels Villa.

Among the villas in the middle of the mountain.

"Mr. Huo, how are you? The decoration here is pretty good, right?"

After Sheng Jiale saw Huo Jingliang walking in, he looked at the decoration here and asked.

Huo Jingliang nodded and said, "It's very novel. This is the first time I've seen this style of decoration. Where did Mr. Sheng find the designer? I also want to ask him to help me design my villa."

"There is no designer. I designed this myself."

Sheng Jiale waved his hand.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingliang was slightly surprised and said, "Mr. Sheng has also studied design?"

"No, I just pretended to look good."

After Sheng Jiale finished speaking, he added: "If Mr. Huo likes this style, I will send the design drawings to your home when he returns to Hong Kong Island."

"Okay, thank you very much." Huo Jingliang said.

His villa is decorated in a splendid style, which was quite popular in the 1990s and is basically the style of the upper class wealthy people on Hong Kong Island.

However, Huo Jingliang had long been tired of seeing it, so after seeing Sheng Jiale's post-modern style home decoration, he immediately became interested.

Especially he thought of his daughter Huo Xixian. As a young person, she should prefer this style, not to mention that it was designed by Sheng Jiale.

"Mr. Huo, please sit down."

Sheng Jiale and Huo Jingliang sat down on the sofa. He took out a bottle of fine red wine from the wine cabinet, pulled out the cork and poured two glasses.

Then he took out another box of cigars. This was the same box of Nizhou specialty cigars that Sheng Jiale had received when he attended Huo Jingliang's banquet.

The two of them each took one, cut it open with cigar scissors, lit it and took a puff.

"cheers."

After each puffing away, Sheng Jiale and Huo Jingliang raised their glasses and clinked them.

"Good wine and good cigarettes will relieve fatigue."

Huo Jingliang said, feeling that some of the fatigue caused by taking the cruise ship had quickly dissipated.

"Mr. Huo, I have sent people to Nizhou to form a mercenary army there.

Calculating the time, they should be almost there by this time. "Sheng Jiale said.

"Mr. Sheng is so efficient, but training mercenaries? Shouldn't we just send people there?"

Huo Jingliang frowned slightly.

Sheng Jiale explained: "The environment in Nigeria is harsh. After all, it is different from Hong Kong Island. If my people transport it there, not to mention that large-scale transportation is too risky.

Secondly, when you arrive at the local area, you will not be able to adapt to the environment immediately, and your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, it is better to select people from the local area and train them into a mercenary army to fight against those warlords. "

"But how long will it take? By the time the mercenaries are fully trained, the day lilies will be cold."

Huo Jingliang said worriedly.

"Mr. Huo, don't worry about this. I have 30% of the profit from the gold mine. I'm more anxious than you."

Sheng Jiale smiled and said: "The two people I sent there are experts in this field, and they are good at training mercenaries.

I believe it will be effective soon. Those small warlords in Nigeria do not need to train brave and capable warriors. "

Hearing Sheng Jiale's assurance, Huo Jingliang felt relieved.

He still trusts Sheng Jiale and knows that Sheng Jiale is not the kind of person who talks nonsense and always does what he says.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Sheng's mercenaries to show their prowess." Huo Jingliang smiled, clinked glasses with Sheng Jiale again, and then drank the red wine.

"By the way, I have already asked someone to register a mining company in Nigeria. It's called Jingbai Mining, and it's specifically responsible for gold mines."

Huo Jingliang still used the name of the company he cooperated with Sheng Jiale this time. The last time they cooperated in real estate business, they also used the name Jingbai Company.

"it is good."

Sheng Jiale has no objection.

Huo Jingliang continued: "Since Mr. Sheng's manpower is almost in Nigeria, I can't fall behind. After that, I will have someone draft a contract and hand over to you the transfer letter of 30% of the shares of the mining company."

"No hurry, no hurry."

Sheng Jia smiled happily and said, "I still have this little trust in Mr. Huo. This is not the first time we have cooperated. We are all friends."

"Brothers are still settling accounts. The more friends we are, the more we should clarify the equity as soon as possible. I will get this matter settled as soon as possible."

Huo Jingliang said with a laugh.

"Okay." Sheng Jiale nodded and stopped insisting.

As Huo Jingliang said, brothers settle accounts clearly. This is an unchanging truth since ancient times.

As long as everything involves the distribution of interests, the sooner it is clarified, the better, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Sheng Jiale comes from the Internet era. He has heard of countless people who turned against each other because of the distribution of interests, and father and son became enemies.

Sheng Jiale and Huo Jingliang smoked cigars and drank red wine, chatting happily.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Sheng Jiale sent Huo Jingliang to the Hilton Hotel, where he had already reserved the presidential suite for Huo Jingliang.

With Huo Jingliang's status, it would be inappropriate to stay in another room, and it would be embarrassing to go to Sheng Jiale.

When there is only one day left before the engagement ceremony,
Sheng Jiale was lying on a deck chair in the courtyard, enjoying the sunbathe comfortably.

Ding ding ding.

His cell phone rang.

Sheng Jiale picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was from Wanwan's number. Zhou Chao called first, so he pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou?" Sheng Jiale asked, "What's wrong? Are we almost arriving at Haojiang?"

He thought Zhou Chaoxian called at this time to inform him to pick up the ship.

But then, Zhou Chaoxian's apologetic voice came over the phone.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng, I have something going on here that I can't get away from.

The legislative election is coming soon, and there is really no way to rush to Haojiang to attend your engagement ceremony. "

"It's nothing. Of course the election is more important." Sheng Jiale didn't care after hearing this and said with a smile.

"I'm so sorry this time, but I will send my confidant Sanpao over to bring the gift. I hope Mr. Sheng doesn't mind." Zhou Chaoxian continued to apologize.

"It doesn't matter. We are all friends. Besides, I have already known about your candidacy for the Legislator. Don't worry about it. I understand you."

Sheng Jiale said, and then added: "But you missed the engagement ceremony, so you must come when I get married."

"Don't worry, Mr. Sheng. I will definitely handle the matters at hand and attend your wedding in person."

Zhou Chao agreed first.

"Haha, okay, then you have to bring a big gift." Sheng Jiale said jokingly.

"Of course."

Zhou Chaoxian also laughed.

After talking to Sheng Jiale, he confirmed that Sheng Jiale was not angry because of his absence from the engagement ceremony, and then hung up the phone with satisfaction.

For Zhou Chaoxian, Sheng Jiale was a connection that he needed to maintain carefully, so he made this call to explain specifically.

Even after Zhou Chaoxian successfully ran for the Legislative Council, Shengjiale would still be a very important partner for Zhou Chaoxian based on its current strength.

Shengjiale has considerable power in Wanwan and Hong Kong Island, and even expands its business to other parts of Asia, which requires cooperation with Shengjiale. (End of chapter)
