Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 109 Lou Xiaoe: Have a glass of coconut juice!
Three years later.

In summer, Hong Kong Island and Repulse Bay have calm waves, fine sand, a wide beach bed, a gentle slope and warm sea water.

In the evening, the beach was crowded with people, and all kinds of swimsuits formed a colorful picture.

Under the parasol, Liu Hongchang, shirtless and wearing sunglasses, quietly enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

In recent years, he has come to Hong Kong Island for more than half a year every year, and his business is spread all over the world.

At first, he started out by selling Cynomorium songaricum wine and Ruby wine and opened a factory. Later, he spawned many health care products companies and cosmetics companies based on these two products and made a lot of money.

Especially at the beginning of this year, Liu Hongchang spent a lot of money to hire various scientists to develop Viagra. Once it was launched, it became good news for men all over the world and greatly improved the lives of countless families.

At this point in time, Viagra came out more than ten years earlier than in the original world, allowing Liu Hongchang to make a fortune and prosper.

It can be said that he has basically achieved financial freedom and his influence is growing day by day.

In the future, Liu Hongchang also plans to get involved in many industries such as finance, energy, media, real estate, hotels, cruise ships, computers, semiconductors, home appliances, textiles, fast food, and security.

However, compared with the booming development abroad, the domestic business is just average.

Of course, this is only relative. In recent years, Master Liu Food Factory has built a complete sales channel across the country, mainly selling Master Liu brand pickles, soy sauce, vinegar and Lao Gan Die chili sauce.

But that was all. The original plan to build factories in various provinces was not realized. The interests of all parties were complicated and difficult to sort out. Liu Hongchang did not have much energy to take care of it, so he could only develop slowly.

"Boss, Miss Lou is here." Gao Yue came over and reminded quietly.

In recent years, when Liu Hongchang came to Hong Kong Island, he only brought Gao Yue with him to help take care of some of the things he was doing.

She was capable in all aspects, had a strong character, and was loyal to Liu Hongchang, so she was quickly reused.

"Bring it here!" Liu Hongchang came to his senses, took off his sunglasses and ordered.

Gao Yue responded, turned and walked away, and brought Lou Xiao'e back after a while.

Lou Xiao'e is in her forties and is Xu Damao's first wife. More than ten years ago, due to changes in the environment, she followed her parents to Hong Kong Island.

After this woman divorced Xu Damao, she got together with Sha Zhu because of the matchmaking of a deaf old lady, and she became pregnant with a child, who is now in his teens.

Of course, Shazhu didn’t know about the child yet.

The circle of wealthy people in Hong Kong Island is so small. After Liu Hongchang came here to develop his career, he finally met Lou Xiao'e at a cocktail party.

After all, they were neighbors in the same alley, so they knew each other as soon as they met and have maintained contact over the years.

"Mr. Liu, it's not easy to find you!" Lou Xiao'e walked forward and said with a smile.

Liu Hongchang pointed to the reclining chair beside him and said with a smile, "Sit down! What would you like to drink?"

"Have a glass of coconut milk!" Lou Xiao'e sat down and replied with a smile.

Gao Yue next to him responded and soon brought over a glass of coconut milk.

"Are you going back to Beijing for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Lou Xiao'e asked directly after taking a sip of coconut juice.

Liu Hongchang thought about it, shook his head and said, "It's hard to decide now, let's see when the time comes!"

"I want to go back. If you go back, tell me and we can go together." Lou Xiao'e negotiated.

Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "Okay."

Lou Xiao'e looked at him shirtless, with well-proportioned muscles and a masculine aura, so she quickly pulled a blanket and threw it over to him, grinning and saying, "You're blinding me, can you please stay away from me?"

Liu Hongchang smiled and joked, "What's the matter? You want to date young girls? That won't work, Sister Lou. I'm loyal and I always like 18-year-olds. Don't have any ideas about me." "What a shame! Haven't you heard that people become more elegant as they get older?" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes.

Liu Hongchang gave a thumbs up and said, "After all, you have lived in Hong Kong Island for more than ten years. You have had a lot of fun!"

The two chatted for a while, and then Lou Xiao'e got down to business: "This time, in addition to wanting to go back and see the world, I also want to do some business in the mainland. Do you have any suggestions?"

"I can't give you any advice on this. Just take your time to study it after you go back!" Liu Hongchang lit a cigarette and replied casually.

Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and asked, "You said before that you opened a food factory in Beijing. Is it profitable?"

"It's okay! There's no problem in supporting the family." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e frowned and said, "Can't you just tell the truth? I've asked around and your factory is doing very well."

Liu Hongchang glanced at her, smiled, and didn't reply.

"My father recently wants to invest in several special economic zones in the south." Lou Xiao'e revealed with a smile.

Liu Hongchang shook his head and said, "Don't tell me this. I have my own investment plan and partners."

He knew which industries made money, had no shortage of connections or funds in the mainland, and had a much larger cash flow than the Lou family, so there was no need for him to get involved with them.

At least before seeing certain benefits, Liu Hongchang doesn't want to cooperate with them for the time being.

Since the beginning of this year, there has been a wave of people going into business and the environment has become more relaxed, but there will be many cases of late spring cold snaps in the future.

The Lou family was once known as Loubancheng. To have such a large family business, it is impossible to accumulate so much wealth just by earning clean money, and they have offended many people.

If they hadn't dared to give up some assets, they would not have been able to leave.

Because of this, the Lou family wanted to return to the mainland, but had various concerns and fears, so they wanted Liu Hongchang to take the lead.

Of course Liu Hongchang would not do such a thing. He just wanted to be a hidden rich man and develop his business in a low-key manner. He did not care about some false reputation.

Seeing that he was being straightforward, Lou Xiao'e sighed secretly.

When she married into the Hongxing Courtyard, she watched Liu Hongchang grow up. Who would have known that this man would become so successful.

Not only did he develop well in Beijing, but after coming to Hong Kong, it only took him a few years to join the circle of wealthy people.

More than ten years ago, Lou Xiao'e would not even dare to think about this. Even her Lou family had ready-made interpersonal relationships and countless boxes of gold bars as backing, which allowed them to barely gain a foothold here.

Even so, after so many years of hard work, he is still not as good as Liu Hongchang's three axes. This is really admirable.

After that, the two of them stopped talking about business. Lou Xiao'e changed the subject and asked, "How miserable is Shazhu's life?"

Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "Well, two years ago, Yu Li opened a restaurant and hired him to be the chef for 2,000 yuan a month. But within a few months, his fat apprentice stabbed him in the back, and he went back to work."

"Maybe he got too complacent with the 2,000 yuan a month salary, so he quit after working for a few months and went to do private work."

"It just so happens that there are many chefs who have gone into business in recent years. He has a bad temper and has offended many people. Over time, his reputation in the industry has also declined, and few people hire him."

"When I came here this year, I heard Huaihua say that the family ate noodles every day, so they probably didn't have a very good income."

Lou Xiao'e frowned and said, "I didn't ask him about his work, but I heard you say that Qin Huairu treated him badly."

Liu Hongchang shook his head and said, "Not only is it bad, but she doesn't give him children and she doesn't give him pocket money. If he wants to smoke, he has to go to the store and buy cigarettes on credit. Tsk tsk..."
