Chapter 360 Meng Shanling Comes Out of the Mountain
"Ajin, we meet again."
Seeing Li Jin getting out of the car, Huo Zhenzhou walked up with a smile.
He shook hands with Li Jin vigorously with one hand, patted Li Jin on the shoulder with the other hand, and said with a hearty smile.
Li Jin smiled and said: "I will be in trouble a lot when I come to Hong Kong City this time."
Huo Zhenzhou smiled and said: "You're welcome, we should have done our duty as landlords."
With that said, Huo Zhenzhou pulled Li Jin through the door and said as he walked: "How is the scenery of the port city all the way from the airport?"
Li Jin thought for a moment and said sincerely: "I saw the prosperity along the way, and I also saw the opportunities everywhere."
Huo Zhenzhou said meaningfully: "Young people are energetic and have really different vision."
"Let's go. The old man is in the backyard. I have discussed your matter with the old man. He wants to see you very much," Huo Zhenzhou said.
Following Huo Zhenzhou to the backyard, Li Jin saw an old man in loose casual clothes wearing a straw hat and weeding in a small vegetable garden.
Frankly speaking, Li Jin really didn't expect that his first meeting with Mr. Huo, a business legend, would be like this.
"The old man usually has nothing to do and just likes to mess around in this small vegetable garden. We can't do anything about it." Huo Zhenzhou explained and walked towards the vegetable garden.
At this moment, Mr. Huo also saw the two of them. He ignored Huo Zhenzhou who was walking over, but waved to Li Jin and motioned for him to come over.
Li Jin walked into the vegetable garden and said with a smile: "Old man, you are in good health."
The old man was born in 1923 and is now 77 years old.
Mr. Huo was holding a hoe, with a slight sweat on his forehead. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "As we get older, we don't have the energy to do other things. On the contrary, it is interesting to be in the vegetable garden."
"Come, junior, come and talk."
Li Jin came to the old man's side, and at this time, the two had the opportunity to look at each other head-on.
The old man was very lean, not too tall, and he didn't have the aura of a hero in the novel, who would act like a domineering king when his body trembled.
Instead, he looks more like an ordinary old farmer, except that his eyes are very bright. Although he is nearly eighty years old, his eyes are not cloudy, but full of energy.
The old man looked Li Jin up and down and praised: "Not bad."
"Young man, come and see how my vegetable garden is doing?" the old man said proudly.
Li Jin looked around and saw that the vegetable garden was not big, but it was obviously taken care of carefully every day, and the growth of some vegetables was pretty good.
If this were to happen to ordinary people, they would have to think of words of praise and flattery no matter what.
But Li Jin shook his head, "Old man, you planted the wrong seed."
The old man was stunned and asked: "What's wrong?"
Li Jin pointed to a tomato seedling and the cucumber seedling next door and said: "Old man, tomatoes and cucumbers cannot be planted together. The root system of cucumbers is relatively shallow and requires frequent watering, but the opposite is true for tomatoes, which have very deep roots.
Water requirements are not high.”
"If you plant these two things together, either the cucumbers will die from drought or the tomatoes will die from waterlogging. Only a child born in a farmer's family like me knows this."
The old man slapped his forehead and said suddenly: "I wonder why these tomatoes always fail to grow. Alas, it turns out that the results on paper are shallow."
Not far away, Huo Zhenzhou was sweating.
No matter how many times he calculated, he could not count that the old man and Li Jin, two people with an age difference of more than fifty years, could actually have a good conversation about growing vegetables.
Huo Anlan, who came next to me at some point, did burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing?" Huo Zhenzhou asked curiously.
Huo Anlan looked at the two people in the vegetable garden and said: "I didn't listen to my advice to grandpa before to get more rest. Now that I'm fine, I've been exposed. Grandpa probably won't be able to show off that hoe anymore."
At this moment, the old man smiled and said to Li Jin: "As a human being, you will understand this as you live for a long time. It is the same as growing vegetables."
"From loosening the soil, sowing, fertilizing and watering, to waiting for flowers and fruits to bloom, every process must be meticulous and done step by step."
"There may be problems in every link. The soil quality is not good enough, the seeds cannot develop, there is too much fertilizer and it burns, there is too little fertilizer and there is dryness, there is too much water and there is waterlogging, and there is too little water and there is drought. It has to be just right."
Li Jinshen nodded in agreement: "The smallest land is only a few feet square, but it also has great wisdom."
The old man said happily: "I heard from the second brother that you promised to help the Huo family earn back the 9 billion?"
Li Jin said seriously: "I'm sure."
But the old man waved his hand and said, "There is no need to put any pressure on me. The Huo family likes to make friends, especially young talents like you."
"Money is just a bunch of numbers. With or without the 9 billion, the Huo family will still be the Huo family. You don't have to worry about the future generations."
Li Jin smiled and said: "The old man is open-minded, and I naturally admire him. However, I also plan to take this opportunity to consolidate my foundation, so I can't miss it."
"If you need anything, you can ask the second brother, and the Huo family will give you the greatest help." The old man said.
"Thank you, old man." Li Jin was not hypocritically polite.
The presence of others in Hong Kong City and standing in the Huo family has already proved the alliance between the two.
The Huo family needs him, and he also needs the Huo family.
Helping each other is what an alliance should be.
"I'm tired. Let's go upstairs and have a rest. You can take a walk around Huo's house and have a casual meal together in the evening." The old man said.
"Okay." Li Jin smiled.
The old man was in front and Li Jin was behind. They walked out of the vegetable garden.
"Dad, don't be busy with this vegetable garden. Just leave it to the servants to take care of it." Huo Zhenzhou said.
"Grandpa, let me help you go upstairs." Huo Anlan said with a sweet smile.
"My granddaughter still understands me." The old man smiled and patted Huo Anlan's hand, and then said angrily to Huo Zhenzhou: "Just take care of your business. I haven't seen you have any potential at this age, and you still come to lecture me every day.
?”
Li Jin stood beside Huo Zhenzhou and watched the old man leave.
It would be really stupid to think that this old man is just an ordinary old man because of his appearance.
This old man is a real tycoon in Hong Kong!
As a wealthy family, the Li family, the richest man in China, encountered gangsters who kidnapped his son. However, the Huo family has always stood firm despite all the storms over the years. No matter whether they are underworld or white, no one dares to touch them. Why?
It's because the old man of the Huo family is still here.
This old man was a real big shot who understood both black and white, and his hands and eyes were very good. In the early years of the Huo family, they were not involved in the arms business.
And very few people know that the Huo family holds a lot of shares in Macao's gaming industry. Back then, the gambling king offended the old man, and the old man said, "Don't set foot in Hong Kong until I die."
The gambling king is so frightened that he still dare not set foot in Hong Kong City.
In later generations, it was not until the death of the old man that the gambling king dared to come to Hong Kong to relax.
This shows that although this old man has retired a long time ago, he is still busy in this vegetable garden every day.
But his name can still dominate the entire cities of Hong Kong and Macao.
There is a saying that everyone knows in the upper circles.
Mr. Huo is the first and only real red-top businessman since the reform and opening up!
It’s no exaggeration to call Mr. Huo’s ability as extraordinary!
