Chapter 1066 Wealthy Family 【Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass】

Wang Lin rejected Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo regretfully said that Wang Lin should seriously consider it, because he is really the most suitable candidate.

Wang Lin directly said that there is no need to think about it, it is impossible for me to be the leader.

Mr. Huo did not leave immediately, but talked about business with Wang Lin.

Wang Lin has few idols in business, and Mr. Huo can be regarded as one of them.

He has some understanding of Mr. Huo's life story.

Mr. Huo started his career by opening a grocery store. Before that, after he first entered the society, he successively worked as a coal worker, a car repairman, an apprentice, a blacksmith and even a coolie.

His business has continued to develop, and now the scope of his business has expanded to include real estate, construction, shipping, hotels, restaurants, department stores, petroleum and other industries.

Mr. Huo had three wives in his life.

This was a very common thing in Xiangjiang in the past.

Tang Jixian also had a third-bedroom wife, and now the second wife is staying with him, and Tang Xiaowan's second wife is tantamount to being disconnected.

Mr. Huo's attitude towards the wife of the third wife is very clear. The eldest wife is the eldest wife and inherits the property, but he will not treat the other two wife badly.

In terms of their attitude towards their children, rich people are surprisingly unanimous.

Wang Lin and Mr. Huo talked more and more speculatively.

He learned a lot from Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo also did freight business and made his first pot of gold.

Several years of freight forwarding career has not actually made him a member of Xiangjiang's wealthy circle, but it has given him a lot of spare cash on hand.Due to the sensitivity of the freight business to population circulation, he noticed that Chinese and foreign businessmen gradually began to enter and exit Xiangjiang.

Seeing the backward housing conditions at that time, he had a keen sense of business, and decided to invest his money in real estate. In March 1953, he co-founded a company with his wife and officially entered the real estate industry.

At that time, his move was not favored by outsiders, who felt that he had moved the cake of the high-level.However, in the end, he also proved that he could do it with practical actions.

In real estate, he invented many pioneering works, among which two sales models and methods have continued to this day.

One is that he invented the building manual, which lists the price of the building, the date of sale, relevant information and other relevant information, and then distributes it to the public so that more people can quickly learn about it without delaying their working hours. The situation of the building, that is, today's leaflets.

The second is the "sale of uncompleted flats" he pioneered, which is actually what we call the pre-sale of commercial housing mortgages today.

After he made these revolutionary breakthroughs in the sales model, citizens who wanted to buy a house were already queuing up before his building was completed.

When he talked about the entrepreneurial history of this period with Wang Lin, he once said: "At that time, people from all over the country rushed to buy uncompleted properties, and even scalpers resold them. I was afraid when I received the money."

Wang Lin said with a smile: "In Xiangjiang at that time, real estate was already very developed."

Mr. Huo said: "Actually, it's not considered developed, but I see the future trend. Where there are people, there will be demand for real estate. It's like when I invest in the hotel industry in the Mainland, because I know the business will definitely be good. There is the Canton Fair in Huacheng, and there are many Chinese and foreign businessmen coming and going, so there is demand for high-end hotel industry. Only when there is demand will there be a market.”

Wang Lin was taught humbly.

It is better to listen to Mr. Huo talk about a business classic than to read a hundred business classics.

Listening to Mr. Huo's preaching, such an opportunity does not come often, nor is it available to ordinary people.

Just like Buffett's lunch, really smart people can learn the way of finance from it.

Mr. Huo's business journey has not been smooth sailing.

A turmoil caused him to withdraw from the most profitable industry at that time, but it did not shake the foundation of his business empire at all.

When developing the real estate industry, he also invested in infrastructure.At that time, Xiangjiang, whose economy was developing rapidly, could not do without sand for a day, and he happened to be involved in the sea sand industry where few people invested.

The reason why few people do it is because compared with finance and real estate, Haisha is thankless and can't make much money at all.Even with that said, he has put his considerable energy into the industry.

Finally, the scale of his sea sand industry has also become very large, so he is called the king of sea sand by outsiders.

The sea sand industry is not very profitable, but it is not useless either.On the contrary, the sea sand industry also played a pivotal role in his later business map.

During his sea sand business, he accumulated a large number of ships, various professional machinery and equipment, construction teams and other resources, which allowed him to contract a large number of projects, and even contracted international bidding projects.

After that, he moved to oil, department stores, tourism and other industries.

Until 1978, after the country proposed an open policy, he began to invest in a large number of projects in the mainland.

Among them, the White Swan Hotel he donated to build has become a representative of his construction in the mainland, with a total investment of more than 4900 million US dollars.

Note that what is written here is donated construction, and the donated construction here means that the property rights will belong to Huacheng after the 20-year cooperation period expires.

Wang Lin benefited a lot from listening to him talk about his own development history.

Mr. Huo's business layout is similar to Wang Lin's.

It is all about deploying raw materials immediately after making money in an industry.

Before Mr. Huo came to visit Wang Lin, he had a certain understanding of him.

That's why he felt that Wang Lin was really a formidable businessman, quite similar to him when he was young.

When he saw Wang Lin himself, Mr. Huo felt even more like this.

Listening to Wang Lin's words, he is better than reading ten years of books, and the two of them talked more and more speculatively.

Before I knew it, it was already noon.

Huo Qingyao asked: "Mr. Wang, it's lunch time soon, are you at home alone? Why don't you come to my house for dinner?"

Wang Lin looked at the time and said, "I'm sorry for wasting your time. I'm alone at home today. May I invite everyone to go down to the mountain for dinner?"

Huo Qingyao said: "Don't be so troublesome, just go to my house to eat, Grandpa, what do you think?"

Mr. Huo said: "Mr. Wang Lin, you don't need to see outside, why don't you come to my house for a light meal?"

It was not easy for Wang Lin to refuse, so he agreed.

He locked the door and got into Mr. Huo's Rolls Royce.

Huo's House is located on Sassoon Road, Pok Fu Lam, Hong Kong. The feature of this house is that it is all built of stones, and it is a rare European-style castle building in Asia. It is unique among the luxury houses in Xiangjiang.

Sassoon Road is also the top mansion in Xiangjiang, next to the famous Xiangjiang University, and it is very close to Central, the business center of Xiangjiang.

It was the first time for Wang Lin to see the true face of this ancient castle.

He noticed the house number, it was 33.

The number 3 is somewhat particular.

In some places, this number is particularly taboo.

But some people especially like this number.

As far as he could see, the lawn at the entrance alone was more than 1 square meters, and the entire mansion had an area of ​​more than 3 square meters, covering an area of ​​more than 5 acres, with a swimming pool and other facilities inside. .

The mansion is backed by mountains and faces the sea, facing south from the north, and you can see the invincible sea view from the lawn at the entrance.The two big stone lions at the door further demonstrate the status of the host family.The market valuation of this house has reached at least 20 billion.It only cost 143 million to buy it that year. The value of 143 million has risen to 20 billion, and Mr. Huo has made a good deal.

Since buying the house, Mr. Huo's family has lived here for decades.

But only the big family of the Huo family lives here, and the second and third bedrooms have mansions in other places.

Although the castle is very big, the whole family is crowded here with more than a dozen people, plus servants, drivers and other handymen, it still feels too small.

However, Mr. Huo is a very traditional person. When he was alive, he did not want his grandchildren to move out, so the three generations lived together.

Wang Lin followed Mr. Huo to the castle.

He felt that this family was well-educated and treated others politely, without the airs of a rich man at all.

Except for that little girl, that little girl named Huo Qinglian, she thought Wang Lin was a servant before, and she was a little arrogant, but when she learned that Wang Lin was the master grandpa was going to visit, she didn't speak much, her eyes Li often showed a surprised expression, maybe he felt that there was a gap between Wang Lin and her imagination?
The Huo family treated Wang Lin very kindly and made Wang Lin feel at home.

His house has already prepared lunch.

On the dining table, Wang Lin didn't have any delicacies from mountains and seas, but only a table of home-cooked dishes.

During the meal time, no one at the two tables spoke, and no one even made too much noise.

Everyone was eating in silence.

Eat without talking, sleep without talking, in this kind of wealthy family, they are carried forward to the extreme.

Wang Lin was born in a common people's family, and the women around him are also ordinary women. There are really not so many rules in the family.

Whether they are eating or sleeping at home, they almost always chat.

But Wang Lin could hold back.

After dinner, Mr. Huo invited Wang Lin to the living room for a talk.

There were only the two of them in the room, and no one else came to bother them.

There are so many people in the Huo family, but when Wang Lin and Mr. Huo were talking, the surrounding area was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Wang Lin did not leave until four o'clock in the afternoon.

Mr. Huo talked with him for a whole day without taking a break, and he was more energetic than Wang Lin, a young man.

Wang Lin missed a night's sleep last night, and today he only had a catch-up sleep in the morning, and at the moment his energy is a little low.

He came here by Mr. Huo's car, and Mr. Huo still arranged for a car to take him home.

Wang Lin thought that Mr. Huo would arrange a driver to take him off, but he didn't expect Miss Huo Qingyao to take him off in person.

"Miss Huo, don't bother you, just send a driver." Wang Lin said.

"Grandpa arranged my job, I dare not quit. Mr. Wang, please get in the car!" Huo Qingyao smiled sweetly.

Wang Lin was really tired and didn't bother to tell her, so he immediately took the co-pilot seat.

After the car started, Huo Qingyao said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, I didn't expect you to be a very knowledgeable and humorous person."

Wang Lin said: "Me? Hehe, I made you laugh."

Huo Qingyao said: "I also use the products of your Aixiu Group, and I found that your products are well designed."

Wang Lindao: "I study design, so I am very strict about design."

"You studied design?" Huo Qingyao looked over.

"Are you surprised?"

"I also studied design. But I study jewelry design."

"That's too lofty." Wang Lin smiled, "Is Ms. Huo planning to set up her own jewelry brand?"

"Yes, I have such a plan." Huo Qingyao said, "I'm preparing. Wang Chengsheng, you are a business tycoon, do you have any advice for the industry I am about to enter?"

"No." Wang Lin said, "Compared to your grandfather, I can only be regarded as a junior, so I don't dare to play tricks. If you don't understand anything, just ask your grandfather."

"My grandfather's investment vision is not bad, but when it comes to the jewelry industry, he is also a layman."

"Then I'm even more of a layman." Wang Lin stretched out his ten fingers and said with a smile, "Look at me, there is not a single jewel or jade in my whole body."

"Mr. Wang, you are too low-key. When I first saw you, I really didn't see that you were a billionaire. But after getting in touch with you, I felt that you are the real billionaire. You and Like my grandfather, he is very low-key and doesn't care about external material decorations."

"Thank you." Wang Lin said, "I admire your grandfather very much. He is my idol no matter in life or in business."

Huo Qingyao said: "Mr. Wang, how many wives have you gathered?"

"Huh?" Wang Lin laughed, "In modern society, you can only marry one wife."

"Didn't you think of marrying two wives too much?"

"Haha!" Wang Lin laughed, "Thought about it."

Huo Qingyao said: "Mr. Wang is a sweetheart. He is not hypocritical."

"..."

When we arrived at Wang Lin's house, Wang Lin asked, "Miss Huo, can we sit down again at home?"

What he said was really just a polite word.

Unexpectedly, Huo Qingyao took it seriously: "Okay."

Wang Lin had no choice but to open the door and invite her in.

Li Wenxiu and the others haven't come back yet, there are only him and Huo Qingyao in the huge room.

Wang Lin asked her to sit down, and the phone in the living room rang.

He went to answer the phone, gave a hello, and heard Deng Lijun's beautiful voice: "Where have you been? I haven't been able to find you."

"I went to Mr. Huo's house for dinner." Wang Lin said with a smile.

"Oh, he asked you? How was the talk?"

"I didn't agree. Sister Deng, thank you for your kindness. I really can't agree."

"This is an excellent opportunity. You can become a master and enter the upper class of Xiangjiang."

"I know, but I don't want to join in this way." Wang Lin said, "If I want to, I will find a way."

"Wang Lin, you must agree."

"Why?" Wang Lin glanced at Huo Qingyao.

Huo Qingyao thought he had some important call to make, so he got up and walked to the yard.

Deng Lijun said: "To protect me."

Wang Lin was startled: "How do you say that?"

"If you're doing it for my own good, you agree. Only in this way can you protect me better." Deng Lijun said.

Wang Lin felt that there was something in her words, even very important information!
