The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 248 Lantern Festival
"A lot of newcomers have come to our Hong Kong and Macau business community today, and this young man looks kind-hearted." On the tea table, Huo Yingdong suddenly looked at Xu Guanwu and said with a smile.

"Mr. Huo, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Xu Guanwu from the Xu Group, a Hong Kong media tycoon; Mr. Xu, this is Mr. Huo Yingdong." Liang Weilin introduced with a smile.

"Mr. Huo, hello! I have known you for a long time." Xu Guanwu smiled and said.

"Oh?! Me too!" Huo Yingdong also suddenly laughed, "To have the current net worth in two years really makes all of us pale in comparison. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and it's no good to be old."

"Brother Huo, you are not old, and you will contribute to China and Hong Kong in the future." A person next to him said with a smile.

"Yes, what I want to see most is that Hong Kong can return to the motherland." Huo Yingdong sighed, "I hope to see it in my lifetime."

"The New Territories were only rented out for 99 years, and there is still the possibility of taking them back. But Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula are hard to say." One person sighed, "At the beginning, they were directly assigned to the UK."

"The New Territories is still a large area of ​​rural areas. Taking it back will not help the motherland. On the contrary, Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula have been operating for many years, and all the wealth has been accumulated here. It is better to return all these to the mainland, and the British cannot continue to occupy them. .” Someone said again.

"Well, I remember that Mr. Xu's idea of ​​'one country, two systems' was very innovative. I don't know what kind of idea it is?" Huo Yingdong suddenly asked Xu Guanwu again.

Xu Guanwu's head grew dizzy when he heard it. He had just been taught a lesson by Dina, and he knew that the so-called "one country, two systems" concept should never be casually mentioned.Because there will be too many voices of opposition, and Xu Guanwu is not Taizong, how can he suppress other opponents?
Lu Xun once said that in China, if you move a chair, you will bleed.What's more, the current struggle situation is no less than that of the Republic of China. It is because the red flags are flying everywhere, and there are as many angry youths as dogs. The concept of "one country, two systems" is too advanced. If it touches the sensitive nerves of those people, the consequences will be unimaginable.Maybe they will be stuck on the wall with nails, and maybe they will be shot at the target with bullets every day.

"That was my wrong idea. After Ms. Dina's criticism just now, I have already realized my mistake, so I don't need to say any more." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

"Oh?! Really, that's such a pity. I wanted to hear your opinion again." Huo Yingdong said with a look of disappointment.

Then someone changed the topic to the Canton Fair, and everyone present became excited.

Xu Guanwu had never participated in the Lantern Festival before, nor had he paid attention to the news between China and Hong Kong, so when they were discussing the Canton Fair with great interest, Xu Guanwu couldn't help being distracted sitting next to him.

"Mr. Xu, are you interested in going to the Canton Fair with us this year?" Huo Yingdong asked suddenly.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but scratched his head with a silly smile, "I was too embarrassed to ask what you guys were talking about just now, what is the Canton Fair for?"

Hearing what Xu Guanwu said, everyone present couldn't help laughing.Liang Weilin looked embarrassed, "This is our mistake. We didn't do a good job in promoting the Canton Fair."

"No, no, it's because I seldom pay attention to news in the financial world, so I don't know much about it." Xu Guanwu said hurriedly, and he had a good impression of Liang Weilin who had the courage to admit his mistakes.

"The full name of the Canton Fair is the China Import and Export Fair. It is held in Guangzhou, so it is also called the Canton Fair. It is mainly for export business with overseas merchants." Huo Yingdong explained with a smile.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this. In his impression, the mainland was very closed in the 70s and [-]s. How could there be such an advanced trade fair?But it is also true to think about it in reverse. At that time, China and the third world countries made many friends. In addition to political exchanges, there must also be economic exchanges. It is normal to have trade fairs.

But I don't do foreign trade business, so why go to the Canton Fair?There is nothing to buy.However, it would be hurtful to directly refuse, Xu Guanwu thought for a while and asked, "When will the Canton Fair be held?"

"It is tentatively scheduled to be NO.15 in April this year." Liang Weilin said with a smile, "Mr. Xu can go and have a look if you are interested. Our domestic products are still very rich. I won't mention heavy industries such as machinery manufacturing. We also have a lot of light industries. Few competitive products, tea, silk, bamboo weaving, medicinal materials, ceramics..."

Mr. Liang Weilin has a really good memory. He mentioned nearly [-] kinds of light industrial products at once.Seeing the old man trying to sell with his fingers, Xu Guanwu couldn't help being moved.

This is a good cadre of the people. In order to win over every merchant, it is really not easy to memorize so many things at such a young age.Xu Guanwu felt that it was just for this point that he would not be a person if he didn't go.

"Yes, yes, I am very interested, count me in." Xu Guanwu raised his hands and signed up.

"That's really great! We all know that you are a rich man, Mr. Xu, so don't be relentless when you come to the trade fair, and you must vigorously support the country's economic construction." Huo Yingdong laughed.

"No problem, I happen to have some unused money in the bank." Xu Guanwu also said with a smile.

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" had a box office of more than 8000 million U.S. dollars. After deducting the share from the distributor, theater chain, and Douglas and his son, Xu Guanwu had more than 2000 million U.S. dollars left, which had been kept in HSBC Bank, and Shen Bi helped him to toss.

"Mr. Xu, do you want to disclose a number, so that we all have a mental preparation, so that when you sweep up all the goods, we will go for nothing." Someone said with a smile next to him.

When he mentioned this, everyone became interested. They all heard how rich Xu Guanwu was, and he jumped up as fast as a rocket, but that was just a legend after all, and I had never seen it with my own eyes.

Xu Guanwu scratched his head, "About 400 million, US dollars, not Hong Kong dollars."

"Wow!" Everyone present was Chinese, 400 million US dollars, more than 3000 million Hong Kong dollars, definitely considered a lot of money at the time.

Especially for import and export trade, every penny is earned by careful calculation, and it may not be possible to earn hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in a lifetime.Everyone present here can be regarded as the backbone of the Hong Kong business community, but there are really not many who are worth more than [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

To be honest, if the net worth is really more than [-] million Hong Kong dollars, there is no need to do business with the mainland at that time, and it would be a risk of beheading.Just like businessmen are now willing to take risks to do business in North Korea, even if they don't have their heads pinned to their waistbands, they are really trembling every step they take.

Huo Yingdong was also a little surprised by Xu Guanwu's arrogance. Hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars are nothing to him. He often goes to Guangzhou to discuss business every year, and the annual transaction volume is tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.But his relationship with the mainland has long been as strong as iron, and his contacts have already been established, so he has no fear of throwing a lot of money.

But Xu Guanwu clearly didn't even know what the Canton Fair was before, so he dared to spend 2000 million US dollars to sweep the goods for the first time, which was a bit foolish and bold.

Liang Weilin was overjoyed when Xu Guanwu reported a figure of more than 2000 million. He turned around and heard him add that it was US dollars, not Hong Kong dollars, and he immediately choked.

Twenty-four million dollars! In the 400s, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only small, and they never reached double digits, okay?Twenty-four million dollars!What a huge contribution the foreign exchange reserves have directly increased by ten percent!
Liang Weilin was almost dizzy with joy, "Mr. Xu, if there is a turnover of 2000 million US dollars, I will personally apply to the country to award you a grand prize."

"Then President Liang, you need to hurry up and make preparations. Make sure that the supply of goods is prepared over there, otherwise Mr. Xu will wrap up everything, and we will run out of goods when we go." Someone said with a smile.

"No, no, the country's productivity has improved a lot now, and we guarantee that there will be no shortage of goods." Liang Weilin laughed.

……

After the Lantern Festival ended, Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi went home by car.

After getting into the car, Zhao Yazhi put away her smile and sat by the window with a straight face.

Xu Guanwu glanced at her, "What are you doing again? Why are you unhappy?"

"Don't talk to me, I don't want to talk to you." Zhao Yazhi said coldly.

"What's the matter, you're playing childish again!" Xu Guanwu frowned, "Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Okay, you asked me to tell you, then let me ask you, why did you agree to go to the mainland and participate in the Canton Fair?" Zhao Yazhi asked with her eyes wide open.

"Just because of this?! Is this worthy of being angry?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing, "What's there to be angry about? Everyone here can say it, but I can't say it alone, doesn't it seem very out of group? Besides, I said that I have sincerely invited you, so I just took a trip. Hong Kong is so close to the mainland, why don’t we see each other for the rest of our lives?”

"It's very dangerous for you to do this. If the Hong Kong British authorities find out, you will be suppressed by them." Zhao Yazhi beat Xu Guanwu's arm angrily.

"Hey! Be more vigorous, beat your back a few more times, I feel uncomfortable these days, and your whole body is smooth after being beaten a few times by you." Zhao Yazhi thumped, Xu Guanwu shouted, and Zhao Yazhi stopped thumping in anger. , Twist it up directly.

"Alas! Alas! Let go, let go, it hurts!" Xu Guanwu shouted, "What are you worried about? The British Hong Kong authorities have not had a good life for a few days. Besides, with my current status, it's not like they can handle it as they want. Yes. The big deal is that I will stop my business and buy a yacht with you to travel around the world. With my current assets, am I afraid that I won’t be able to support you?"

"Hmph! When people tell you serious things, you will talk about these useless things." Zhao Yazhi said angrily, "Think about it, even Huo Daheng was bullied by them and dare not move around, you have grown a few more heads ?”

"Well, if you want to speculate, you have to take some risks, otherwise there is no such thing as a huge profit in the world." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Not to mention other things in the mainland, there are hundreds of millions of people. This is such a huge market. Once it is opened up, it will be released. How much energy, have you considered all of this?"

"You mean the mainland has more potential than Hong Kong?" Zhao Yazhi asked in disbelief. In her impression, the people in the mainland were not fed enough to wear clothes, and they lived a miserable life under high pressure.

The potential exceeds that of Hong Kong, what a joke!
"Of course, the rise of Hong Kong is due to the decline of the magic capital. Once the magic capital rises, what else can Hong Kong have?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help sneering, "The place is small and underpopulated. The potential of the city far surpasses that of Hong Kong."

"Then according to what you say, the mainland must be better than Hong Kong?" Zhao Yazhi asked, "Then why don't other people go, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng and others? Don't these people have a higher business vision than you?"

"You underestimate your husband and me too much. Which of these tycoons like me has jumped up in two years?" Xu Guanwu said depressedly, "Besides, they are all real estate developers, and the mainland is not open to the real estate industry. What are they running there for? And the current strategy is to explore the road first and then pave the road. When the time comes, the mud-paved road will become a diamond-golden road. Naturally, giving charcoal in the snow is easier to move people's hearts than icing on the cake. They move slowly Now, when they really rise, and then run over to join in the fun, can they still get so many political dividends?"
