The four people sitting in the members' box at Sha Tin Racecourse were all big entrepreneurs and philanthropists in Hong Kong. After Liu Luanxiong's introduction, Feng Yifeng got to know the most famous one among them, Sir Tang Shiu Kin. The other three were all old friends for many years, and they were
Business partners. Kwok Desheng, known as Lao Kwok, was the founder of Sun Hung Kai Company. His three sons were the three brothers Kwok Bingxiang, Kwok Bingjiang and Kwok Binglian who later took charge of Sun Hung Kai Properties. They had great influence in the Hong Kong real estate industry.
An important position.
Feng Jingxi is also one of the founders of Sun Hung Kai Company. In 1963, he founded Sun Hung Kai Company with a joint venture of 1 million with his friends Guo Desheng and Lee Shau Kee. However, Feng Jingxi's interest was not in real estate developers. Instead, he had a strong interest in securities trading, and he studied it seriously.
Securities business, believes that securities trading has a very attractive prospect in Hong Kong. In early 1972, the Hong Kong stock market was booming and almost crazy, and the Hang Seng Index rose several times a day. During this period, Feng Jingxi set up his own business and established "Sun Hung Kai Securities Co., Ltd."
.
The last one has to be said that he is as famous as Hong Kong's richest man Li Ka-shing. He is known as the Asian stock god in Hong Kong. He is also known as the "fourth uncle" of "Henderson Development" chairman and "Sun Hung Kai Properties" vice chairman Lee Shau Kee. Since 1958,
, together with Feng Jingxi, Guo Desheng and other eight people formed the "Yongye Company", he began to get involved in the real estate business. In 1963, he even left other shareholders and formed a joint venture with Feng Jingxi and Guo Desheng to form "Sun Hung Kai Enterprises Co., Ltd."
, Lee Shau Kee served as the vice chairman of the board of directors and the general manager of the company. The three joined forces and became famous in the real estate industry, earning the name "Three Musketeers". As the Hong Kong stock market collapsed in 1973 due to the global economic recession, the real estate industry also fell into
Low point. Lee Shau Kee had a huge amount of cash in his hands at this time. He saw the opportunity and purchased land and old buildings at low prices. Finally in 1975, he established his own company "Henderson Development Co., Ltd."
These people are all Hong Kong's industrial and commercial tycoons. Someone once jokingly said: Li Ka-shing, Pao Yukang, Run Run Shaw, Fok Ying-tung, Cheng Yutong, Guo Desheng, Lee Shau Kee and other eight people already controlled half of Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s.
The economic lifeblood of Hong Kong affects the livelihood of half of the people in Hong Kong. Their casual words may cause the Hang Seng Index to rise or fall by more than 100 points. Of course, these are just exaggerations, but they also prove the influence of these Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong.
No less than the British businessmen who have dominated Hong Kong's economic circle for nearly a hundred years.
Although Feng Yifeng kept a very calm expression after entering the members' box, after Liu Luanxiong introduced these people, Feng Yifeng could not contain his excitement. Who are these people in front of him? They are all among the most successful people in Hong Kong.
Several of them hold tens of billions of wealth. In his previous life, Feng Yifeng had thought of getting to know these people, but as a deadlock, he became pregnant with a terminal illness before he had the chance. He was unexpectedly reborn and returned to Hong Kong, and finally met today.
Come and get to know this outstanding group of Hong Kong Chinese businessmen.
As a younger generation, Liu Luanxiong took on the job of a waiter, making tea for several elders and old people, and finally poured two cups for himself and Feng Yifeng. He calmly picked up the binoculars and looked at the track, not caring at all about Feng Yifeng and Deng Lao.
The conversation seemed to have nothing to do with him (indeed it had nothing to do with it. Feng Yifeng didn't even tell Liu Luanxiong clearly what he wanted to do with Deng Zhaojian. He was just an introducer).
Deng Zhaojian was obviously not in good spirits. He did not discuss with Guo Desheng and others whether the horses were in good condition. He just sat there quietly with his eyes half closed. At this moment, Feng Yifeng was very embarrassed and no one paid attention to him. Liu Luanxiong was following
Feng Jingxi and Guo Desheng were talking about horses, and from time to time they had to act as peacemakers between the two, responsible for changing the topic to prevent the two old guys who were already very young but very angry from having a heart attack and bursting of blood vessels. Lee Shau Kee arrived
In front of the small bar, he pours himself a drink. He doesn't watch or bet on horses. He just likes to have fun with his old friends.
"Mr. Deng, I...I want..." Feng Yifeng faced someone for the first time and didn't know how to speak. Now Deng Zhaojian is almost like an ordinary old man. Not only does he not put any pressure on Feng Yifeng, he also doesn't exude any momentum.
, just sitting there so peacefully and quietly. But this also made Feng Yifeng at a loss, because Deng Zhaojian didn't seem to take him seriously at all.
"What? Didn't you have great ideas just now? Didn't you speak to me very bluntly and aggressively? Why are you choked now? I'm such a bad old man, so I'm not so scary, am I?" Deng Zhaojian suddenly opened his slightly cloudy eyes.
, said to Feng Yifeng in a calmer tone. However, this made Feng Yifeng feel even more uncomfortable. It was not momentum, pressure, or spirit of any kind, but just a few words that were so calm and light, what Feng Yifeng wanted to say,
They all swallowed it back into their stomachs raw.
Picking up the tea cup in front of him, he drank the steaming tea that Liu Luanxiong had just brewed in one gulp, mustering up his greatest courage. Feng Yifeng knew that now he was completely suppressed by Deng Zhaojian and was out of breath. If he didn't react again,
Maybe I can't tell you why I came here today. I can only buy a little time by stimulating my senses with hot tea.
"Actually, I am interested in the shares of some companies held by Mr. Deng. I heard that Mr. Deng wanted to sell his shares, so I took the liberty to visit Mr. Deng to see if this junior is qualified to cooperate with Mr. Deng." Finally.
After finishing his words in one breath, he looked with ardent eyes at Deng Zhaojian, who still looked indifferent.
"Share? I didn't expect that before our old man died, someone would actually care about my family wealth?" Deng Zhaojian's words were very heartbreaking, making Feng Yifeng look like a bad guy who seeks wealth and murder. "Tell me about it.
, what shares does my old man have that you are interested in?"
Feng Yifeng is neither saying nor saying it now, and he is in an endless state of confusion. He really never thought that Deng Zhaojian would dislike him. From the time he came in until now, he has not said a nice word to him. Fortunately, Feng Yifeng's
Qi-nurturing skills are quite good, but Deng Zhaojian is an elder, so he has no choice but to tolerate his anger for a while since he has requests from others.
In response to Feng Yifeng's silence, Deng Zhaojian moved the corner of his mouth and showed a smile. Lee Shau Kee, who was sitting at the bar, also nodded and went on to drink his own wine.
"Mr. Deng, just because he and I are both members of the old Feng family, listen carefully to what he has to say! Young people sometimes do things inappropriately, but they are still young after all. They will make progress in the future. You see, big
Isn't Liu very good now?" Feng Yifeng was surprised that Feng Jingxi would actually put in a good word for him. Is it really because they are both named Feng?
Bystanders are fascinated by the authorities! Liu Luanxiong has now seen some truths, but he is not ready to remind Feng Yifeng now because he does not know the true intentions of these big bosses. Deng Zhaojian is actually the one who plays bad guy, and Lee Shau Kee is not involved in the matter.
After Gao Hangqiu, Feng Jingxi was the one who finally came out to smooth things over and make a fool of himself. It was just that Feng Yifeng was fascinated by Deng Zhaojian's words that mocked him. For a moment, he was still obsessed with the fact that he had offended Deng Zhaojian, so Mr. Deng had no good words for him.
"Well! Young people are easy to be impulsive. We were also young before. We did things regardless of the consequences and often left no room for anything. People who do things like this are not allowed. We must understand the principle of leaving a thin line today so that we can meet each other in the future." In the middle, when everything is in the middle, it is called harmony. The middle is the foundation of the world; the harmony is the way of the world. When harmony is achieved, the heaven is in place and all things are nurtured." The thoughts of the noble monk Zhong "As the essence of Eastern civilization, it is also an integral part of the basic spirit of our Chinese culture. Liu, do you understand what I said?" He said he was asking Liu Luanxiong, but in fact, his eyes were always looking down, as if Feng Yifeng in confession.
"Thank you, Mr. Deng, for your teaching." Liu Luanxiong stood up respectfully and kicked Feng Yifeng, who was still sitting there without any movement, and said, "Didn't you hear what Mr. Deng said? Why didn't you react at all?"
"Huh? Uh! This is the golden mean. I have heard my grandfather talk about it before. It is a common behavior of the Chinese nation to not go to extremes in life, to focus on safeguarding collective interests, to seek common ground while reserving minor differences, and to maintain harmony in interpersonal relationships. Criterion. This has a positive effect on the cohesion and expansion of the national spirit and the maintenance of a unified multi-ethnic regime. There was a proverb: if the sail is raised only five points, the ship will be safe; if the water is only five points, the vessel will be stable. That is, half; the wine is half full, and the flowers are blooming half the time. There is also the saying that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are too tight, there will be no wisdom. These are the wisdom of the mean that can be seen in many aspects of life experience." These words were all spoken by Feng Yifeng's grandfather when he was teaching his son-in-law Feng Shengdong, who was still a policeman in Cheung Chau. For this reason, his grandfather also lost his temper with his own family. Feng Yifeng also heard it from his mother later, and now he picked it up easily and actually let him He spoke eloquently.
After listening to Feng Yifeng's words, Deng Zhaojian smiled more and more. Even Lee Shau-kee, who was sitting at the bar, came over and applauded: "Well said, very well said. I didn't expect that a boy who has studied Fanshu and made a fortune in a foreign country actually knows how to understand The essence of Chinese culture is really rare. Mr. Deng, this guy is a talent that can be created!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Deng Zhaojian said three good words in a row, seeming to be surprised and satisfied with Feng Yifeng's understanding. "Everyone sat down. It is a kind of fate to meet this little kid Xiaofeng today. "Turn around and said to Feng Yifeng: "I'm just going to rely on my elders and act like my elders. I'll call you Xiaofeng. You won't mind, right?"
Feng Yifeng couldn't accept the drastic change. Just now, he was harsh and sarcastic towards him. Why did he suddenly become so amiable and amiable that even Xiao Feng called him out? "Well, Mr. Deng, what is this...?"
"Haha! What's wrong? Do you think that an old man like me is difficult to serve and fickle?" Mr. Deng didn't look senile or sickly at all. Instead, he smiled brightly and said to Feng Yifeng.
"It's a bit, just now... I'd better not say this." Could it be that Mr. Deng is capricious? How can I say this out loud, I can only think about it in my heart.
The four big bosses all burst out laughing. They could naturally see what Feng Yifeng was thinking, and they also understood that he still couldn't figure out the purpose of these people.
Deng Zhaojian stood up majestically and came to the floor-to-ceiling glass. Looking at the bustling racecourse and the crazy gamblers outside, he sighed and said: "On the surface, it is a prosperous scene, but there is an undercurrent surging inside. These people They are all confused by the petty profits in front of them. Have they forgotten that as Chinese, they have been governed by the British for nearly a hundred years, exploited and enslaved? Are the Chinese really so servile? Is it heavy?
In the members' box, in terms of wealth, Deng Zhaojian is not the richest. Guo Desheng and Li Shauji only have much more wealth than him. But in the box, the other three people respect Deng Zhaojian very much and call him "Mr. Deng".
". This is not just because he is older or a senior, but because he admires his noble sentiments and his endless donations to charity. People in Hong Kong who know him think that he is a great philanthropist and the King of Charity, and
He is courteous, courteous, sincere, charitable, and amiable. Sir Edward Youde, the Governor of Hong Kong, once described Deng Shiu Kin as having made particularly "significant", "long-lasting and glorious" contributions to charity....
