Chapter 788 Dinner table conversation
Wu Ma couldn't resist, and finally got Mr. Lu's favorite wine.
But it's not some expensive wine, but old rice wine.
"Little friend Lu, although my rice wine is ordinary, it has been stored in the cellar for almost thirty years. The wine is very mellow and fragrant. Come and try it." Mr. Lu said.
Wu Ma filled a glass for Lu Ye with her own hands. The wine in the glass showed an attractive amber color and was crystal clear.
"Although rice wine is cheap, it is one of the wines with the longest history in China. It has the functions of promoting blood circulation, dispelling cold, stimulating menstruation and collaterals, promoting appetite and anti-aging. The old man's jar of rice wine looks like the best at first glance.
The aged wine is a rare good wine.”

Aged rice wine has a mellow and restrained aroma, with a unique aroma. Lu Ye has also studied white wine and likes rice wine very much.
The alcohol content of rice wine is relatively low and has many benefits. Drinking it in moderation is very beneficial to the body.
When Mr. Lu heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter: "I didn't expect Mr. Lu to know so much about rice wine. Well, it seems that I have met someone of the same kind."
"Come on, let's have a drink!"
"The younger generation respects the old man."
Lu Ye raised his glass and followed him. The rim of the wine cup was lower than the rim of the old man's glass, and he drank it all in one gulp.
"Young Mr. Lu is so young, but he has extraordinary knowledge. I really like the old man. If you have time in the future, you can come to our house more often. We should have some topics to talk about while we drink tea and wine." Mr. Lu said with a smile.
"Definitely, it is an honor for the younger generation to look down upon me." Lu Ye also responded with a smile.
Mary moved her chopsticks and picked up a piece of rapeseed for Mr. Lu.
"Grandpa, the doctor told you to eat more vegetables and less meat, so that you will be healthy."

"Haha..., good..."
"Young friend Lu, you're welcome." The eldest granddaughter picked up some food for her. Mr. Lu looked relieved and asked Lu Ye to eat.
"Boss, try this braised sea cucumber with deer tendons. This is Wu Ma's specialty, it's delicious." Mary picked up a large chopstick and added it to Lu Ye's bowl.
This move made Mr. Lu pout.
My elbows are turned out, and my little cotton-padded jacket is leaking a little bit.
The tableware used by southerners for eating is somewhat different from that of northerners. Southerners use bowls for eating, and the small plates that come with them are usually used to hold discarded food residues.
Northerners are different. Small plates are also one of the tableware for eating. Food that cannot fit in the bowl or needs to be cooled is usually placed on the small plate first. The food inside is not unnecessary.
"I wonder if Mr. Lu has done any research on gambling?"
During the dinner, Mr. Lu asked casually.
"Betting, using winnings as bait, and fighting as a means, are just a process to make money. The younger generation has no interest in it, so there is no research on it." Lu Ye replied.
hehe····
"You can tell the true meaning of gambling in one sentence, so how can you say that you have no research? You know, just the word "bet" has made countless people dizzy. I am so young, but I have such a profound understanding.
The insight is already quite remarkable.”
Lu Jiahe was very satisfied with Lu Ye's answer.
Not everyone can see the truth clearly, and the one who takes advantage of it will always be the final winner.
As the old saying goes, it is not unreasonable to gamble for a long time and lose the family.
"Little friend Lu, I think your industries include finance, culture and entertainment, and technology companies. Although there are also real estate companies, they only hoard a few pieces of land. You must know that in Hong Kong City, the most profitable business is real estate.
And if you don't dig deeper, is it because you are not optimistic about the future of the real estate industry in Hong Kong City?"
Lu Ye heard this and said with a wry smile: "That's not true. Hong Kong City has a small amount of land and a large number of people. The real estate business will continue to be popular for at least twenty years. It's not that I don't want to do it, but I just lack competitiveness."
In the real estate industry in Hong Kong City, most of it is controlled by the four major families. All the money flowing out is water and water, and there is not enough to eat. Naturally, Lu Ye has no interest in further development.
"Many people outside are saying now that the port city is not the port city of the governor, but the port city of the four major families. What do you think of this?" Mr. Lu asked again.
"The indigenous people of the American continent are Indians and primitive people. After the white people discovered the American continent, they continued to colonize in large quantities and massacred the local Indians and primitive people. In order to expand the labor force, they also imported large quantities of people from all over the world.
They purchased black slaves, but after the Civil War, black people were liberated and became one of the masters of that land."
"Look at the beautiful country now. White people, black people, Indians, and people from all over the world all live on the same land, but who is the real owner?"
"The same goes for Hong Kong City. From the beginning of a desolate small fishing village to the rule of Gui Lao, after hundreds of years of development, there are Chaoshan people, Hokkien people, and Nan'ao people here. For several generations, no one is a native of Hong Kong City.
Therefore, Hong Kong City does not belong to a certain person or a few people at any time. Hong Kong City has always been a port city for China and a port city for the people of Hong Kong."
Lu Ye's answer seemed to be an endorsement of the mainland, but in fact, after careful consideration, what he said made sense.
The history of human development is a complete history of resource plunder.
From the records of civilization, there were wars between tribes, and then they merged into larger tribes, and then fought and merged again, and so on, and finally formed the concept of a country.
But no matter what, this land has never belonged to anyone forever, and everyone who has owned it is just a passerby.
Only the ethnic groups on this land continue to thrive on the land.
The other meaning in Lu Ye's words is also obvious. The port city has returned. The port city is the port city of the Chinese government. If the four major families cannot correct their positions, there will be no need to elaborate on the consequences.
After listening to Lu Ye's words, Mr. Lu's already small eyes narrowed into slits again.
"It's so well said. The Qian family fled to Gui Lao, thinking that under Gui Lao's protection, they could continue to develop the family. The Qian family is really getting worse with each generation. I think back then, the Qian family dominated the high seas and was known as the shipping king.
What a beautiful scenery, but it has been passed on to those two useless sons. I think sooner or later they will be eaten up by those ghosts."

"Someone took advantage of our Lu family and forced us into the four major families. I don't like this kind of title."
Mr. Lu said in a deep voice.
When a person reaches his age, he has already seen through many things.
The titles of the four major families would still be of some use when the ghosts were in power, and the people of Hong Kong City would feel proud when they mentioned them.
But at the moment, the titles of the four major families are almost like a reminder of death. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
Many of the Lu family's properties are in gray areas, so naturally there is a lot to worry about, especially now that the year has entered 1999, and Aowan is about to return to China. In the future, there will be a principle of dealing with these so-called gambling kings.
No one can say what kind of attitude that will be.
At this time, the Lu family was ranked among the four major families, which made Mr. Lu very worried.
Shooting the first bird is not what Mr. Lu wants to see.
Lu Ye heard the implication of Mr. Lu's words and said softly:
"The development of the four major families has actually evolved into a unique culture to a certain extent. As long as you use it well, you don't have to worry too much."

"Oh, do you have any good suggestions?" Mr. Lu asked with interest.
"Carry out charity, wear a coat, and establish a persona."
Lu Ye said immediately: "The Lu family has always maintained a low profile in the past and tried not to appear in public. But even so, people have dug it out now. It shows that this method is not feasible."
"Instead of hiding yourself, it's better to stand up openly and do something to divert public attention and earn some fame for yourself."
"Boss, tell us what you can do, please tell us." Mary asked eagerly.
"Aowan, like Hong Kong City, has already established the policy of one country, two systems before the handover. The operation of the casino should not encounter major changes. If you want to maintain the current situation, the best way is to show goodwill to the mainland.
, just like the Li family.”
In order to show goodwill to the mainland, the Li family undertook many major projects on the mainland, almost all of which were done at a loss. In addition, they also donated a lot of materials and technology.
This matter has not been made public yet, but within the small circles in Hong Kong City, everyone is aware of it.
The Li family swallowed up the four pieces of land that the Qian family had obtained through bribery, and was not implicated at all. This is the root of the problem.
"I know about the Li family's affairs in the mainland. Construction is the strength of the Li family, but it is the weakness of our Lu family." Mr. Lu shook his head slightly.
"The Li family is very smart. Even if they show their goodwill to the mainland, they are still scheming. There is absolutely no need for the Lu family to imitate them."
"The Li family has shown goodwill to the government. The Lu family can definitely show goodwill to the people and donate money to build schools in poor areas so that children in poor areas can go to school. The more schools built, the more stable the Lu family's reputation will be. People in mainland China will
You need to know how to be grateful. Even if someone wants to plot against the Lu family in the future, they have to consider whether they can bear the overwhelming public opinion."
Lu Ye said sharply.
