Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 281 No face?

By the time the fierce battle between Gu Weijun, Catherine and Constance ended, it was already the beginning of the lights.

After putting on his nightgown and ordering room service, Gu Weijun stood on the balcony with a few girls, shaking his red wine glass and pointing out the country, "Dear friends, don't think this place is small, and it's far away from Europe."

"But you have to know that this is the intersection of the old and new worlds, and behind it is New China!"

"The more important reason why Hong Kong has developed so well is that it serves as a window for exchanges between the East and the West, and a steady stream of wealth is intersecting every day!"

"Moreover, this status can exist for at least several decades!"

"So, my dear, this will be the starting point for our bigger career."

After listening to Gu Weijun's heroic words, only Constance looked thoughtful, while Catherine and the others were still a little confused.

Gu Weijun shook his head secretly and asked Constance, "Constance, do you know what is the most critical thing in the textile industry?"

Constance blurted out, "The human cost!"

Gu Weijun nodded with satisfaction, "That's right!"

Then he continued to give them guidance, "The labor cost here is only one-tenth that of Europe and the United States. What do you think is not profitable?"

“And it’s backed by New China, which is a big country with a population of hundreds of millions!”

“The business opportunities are endless!”

Gu Weijun continued to test Constance, pointing to Victoria Bay ahead, "Dear, can you see any business opportunities?"

Constance looked at the two banks that looked like stars, and blurted out again, "Land!"

"That's right!" Gu Weijun clinked glasses and kissed her, then smiled and said to Catherine and others: "In the future, you guys will listen to Constance on business matters. She is the one who really has business acumen, so you will be responsible." To clear up the relationship, let’s start with the fight.”

"Think of it as entertainment!"

"Of course," Gu Weijun turned around again, "Constance, just grasp the general direction and leave the trivial matters to professional managers."

"I don't want you to become a yellow-faced woman!"

"Haha!" cheerful laughter rang out in the presidential suite.

The next day, Gu Weijun, who had changed into a suit and dress, took Constance downstairs to go to the Hong Kong Government House to discuss factory land. At the same time, Catherine and the other girls used their long-sleeved dancing skills to attend cocktail parties with local celebrities in Hong Kong. While making connections, they also Check to see if the villas on Victoria Peak are for sale and buy them directly.

If there are no ready-made houses in Victoria Peak, buy some land in Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay and build your own.

Hey, it was a coincidence that the doorman from yesterday opened the door for Gu Weijun. Gu Weijun raised his eyebrows and asked: "Mr. Doorman, can you tell me today who the very rude woman was yesterday?" He asked and shook his head. A £100 note from the past.

The doorman quickly grabbed the banknote with both hands and responded quickly: "Sir, the person who was rude to you yesterday is the eldest daughter of Mr. Chen, the Hong Kong cotton spinning king!"

Hearing this, Gu Weijun raised his eyebrows again, "King of cotton spinning?"

"interesting."

Then we got into the Rolls Royce arranged by the hotel and went straight to the Hong Kong Governor's House.

When Hong Kong Governor Dai Linzhi saw Gu Weijun next to Constance, his face changed slightly. As expected, the Chinese were up to something behind him. Dai Linzhi cursed in his heart, "Don't they say that Chinese people are the most honest?" Didn’t we agree that we should abide by the three bottom lines and not interfere in Hong Kong?

Dai Linzhi forced out a smile, invited Constance and Gu Weijun to take a seat, and then started talking about the friendship between Britain and France, fighting side by side in World War II, and specifically mentioned that Queen Victoria had visited Constance's family's largest textile factory in Europe. This time, he is also very welcome to come to Hong Kong to open a textile factory. Then Dai Linzhi asked Gu Weijun casually, "Who is this gentleman?"

Constance's beautiful eyes floated over and looked at Gu Weijun affectionately. She smiled and replied: "This is my boyfriend Gu Weijun. You can call him Mr. Gu, the Governor of Hong Kong. As you can see, he is Chinese and comes from That mysterious red China!”

"We fell in love at first sight at a banquet in Paris. It is precisely because of his influence that I will consider investing in Hong Kong. I hope to be closer to my lover in the future."

Constance introduced Gu Weijun in a particularly frank manner, her words full of pride and admiration.

Dai Linzhi clapped his hands with a forced smile, falsely praised, and said in an aria tone: "Oh, it is really a beautiful love like a fairy tale, it really makes me envious!"

However, he still had a fluke mentality and wanted to test it again. Although it was a good thing for the French to invest in Hong Kong, he was worried that not only him but all British politicians were worried about China's influence on Hong Kong. All actions in Hong Kong, "Mr. Gu, where in Red China are you from?"

"Beijing!" Gu Weijun answered with a smile, "I have lived there since I was a child. When I was a student, I went to France and the UK as a translator. It was God's arrangement that allowed me to meet Constance."

"As you can see, we're in love!"

Because of the news of later generations, Gu Weijun knew the hypocrisy of the British very well, and he could guess that Dai Linzhi was trying, "Of course, as a Chinese, I have received patriotic education since I was a child, so I can't let go of my motherland, and there are still unfinished things to do." studies."

"However, God arranged for Constance to come to Hong Kong to open a factory. Distance is no longer a factor that prevents us from falling in love."

Then he pointed out the military port secretly, "Just like Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, although there is the beautiful Victoria Harbor between them, and there are many warships and ships, after all, distance is not a problem. Right, Mr. Hong Kong Governor?" "

"Yes, yes, yes!" Dai Linzhi's face turned pale and he immediately double-negatived it.

He doesn't dare to gamble!

After that, the conversation between the two parties became very harmonious and smooth. Dai Linzhi directly called the chief official of the Public Works Department, where did he want the land? As long as there is no owner, I will grant it to you!

Gu Weijun immediately expressed his hope for Hong Kong's continued prosperity and stability and his willingness to operate and pay taxes in good faith in accordance with Hong Kong laws.

Dai Linzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. This can be regarded as a win-win situation. It is more reassuring than the Chinese coming to open factories on their own. China Resources should continue to do trade.

As long as there is a labor movement without the support of the Chinese, the UK is very experienced in handling it.

After leaving the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, Constance glanced at Gu Weijun in surprise. She clearly felt that after Gu Weijun said those veiled words, Hong Kong Governor Dai Linzhi's expression became even more enthusiastic, as if he was sending a message to the devil, and he quickly approved the construction. Factory land sent them away.

Sensing Constance's eyes, Gu Weijun turned around and smiled, without explaining, the two looked at each other and returned to the Peninsula Hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Constance immediately called Lyon's mother Jacqueline Gliss for support.

On the phone, Jacqueline asked seriously about Hong Kong's labor, environment, logistics, tax rates and a series of factory-related information. At the end of the conversation, she suddenly asked a pun: "Constance, my daughter, Have you really decided?"

Constance replied gently but firmly: "Of course, my mother!"

"Okay!" Jacqueline was silent for a while, and replied with the same tenderness and firmness: "I support your decision, my dear, I will always be your backing!"

It is said that it is the hardest thing to accept the kindness of a beauty. Constance's love almost melted Gu Weijun completely. That is to say, the battle last night was fierce, otherwise the two of them would definitely make waves again.

Everything was ready on Constance's side, and she was waiting for the help arranged by her mother Jacqueline. Gu Weijun was not idle either. After going out and pretending to take a walk, he brought back two large suitcases and threw them directly in the presidential suite. The living room, when opened, is full of pounds.

"Dear, is 1000 million pounds enough for you to play with?" Gu Weijun said domineeringly, "It's not enough for you to talk about!"

It was also the first time for Constance to see such a arrogant person, who was willing to spend 10 million pounds in cash! You have to have beautiful eyes and an inquiring face.

Gu Weijun put the index finger of his left hand on his lips and made a "shhh" gesture. The left corner of his mouth turned up, saying nothing.

Suddenly, Gu Weijun thought of something else, "Dear, do you still remember what the doorman said when we went out this morning?"

"Remember, what? Are you attracted to another wife again?"
