Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1636 To Touch or Not to Touch?
Why do people jump off buildings in Hong Kong every year? Besides those who have gambled away high-interest loans or lost their lives due to stock market losses, there are also those who have failed in their business ventures and are left with a mountain of debt.

Because there have been many opportunities to start a business and make money in Hong Kong in recent years, a large number of young people believe that starting a business is glamorous in front of others but suffering behind the scenes, while working for others is also suffering in front of others and behind the scenes. Since they are suffering anyway, why not give it a shot?

The idea is good, but very few are actually going to succeed.

Even so, many ambitious and capable young people in Hong Kong choose to start their own businesses after entering the workforce.

However, among these people, there was one who chose the thankless and arduous path of manual labor and devoted himself to it for more than forty years.

He not only amassed a considerable fortune but also earned the title of "King of Hired Managers".

This person is Huo Jianning, and the boss he works for is none other than Mr. Li, who will one day swallow up Hong Kong Electric, this cash cow.

Huo Jianning returned to China in 79 and joined Li's group company. Three years later, she left to start her own business, establishing an accounting firm with a friend.

Unfortunately, his business failed, and he rejoined Mr. Li's group company. However, because of his previous business experience, he was promoted from accountant to chief accountant.

It is said that Huo Jianning was secretly observed by Li for five years after joining the company, and was not given a prominent position until 84, when she became the executive director of a certain company in Huangpu.

Subsequently, Huo Jianning was present at most of the occasions where Li appeared. In 87, she was promoted to vice director and general manager, and in 93, she became director and general manager of a certain company in Huangpu.

Next, the business myth of "selling oranges for hundreds of billions" was created. On the eve of Hong Kong's return to China, Huo Jianning saved Li a total of more than 24 billion in unnecessary expenses. One plan made the group earn more than 5 billion.

Huo Jianning won the title of "King of Employees" in Hong Kong listed companies for 19 consecutive years thanks to his own abilities. By 2000, he could earn more than 200 million yuan a year from his annual salary and dividends in the group.

Getting back to the point, Han Li felt that if he could find Huo Jianning, he could basically rest easy for a long time.

Of course, this requires Han Li to be willing to delegate power and offer sufficiently high annual salaries and bonuses.

When Han Li thought of Huo Jianning, the "Emperor of Hired Managers," he inevitably thought again of the cash cow that Li would eventually acquire.

Whether it's the "King of Hired Managers" or Hong Kong Electric's cash cow, whatever Han Li wants, Li will inevitably come across.

So, Han Li is currently wondering whether he should try to confront the other party.

It's important to know that Li acquired a certain branch of Whampoa in 79 with virtually no financial backing; ostensibly, he only received assistance from HSBC.

However, it's clear to anyone with eyes that this would have been very difficult to achieve without the support of those foreigners in the Hong Kong government, which shows how deep Li's relationship with those foreigners is.

This was one of the reasons why Han Li hesitated when he thought of Hong Kong Electric last time. Of course, the biggest reason was that he didn't have that much money at the moment.

This time, in order to recruit the "King of Hired Managers" and make it easier for him to relax in the future, Han Li had no choice but to get involved with this Li person.

As for whether Huo Jianning would give up her current company and agree to switch to Han Li's little-known company, he didn't care at all.

If the promises are big enough, the benefits are good enough, and the power is high enough, even the most powerful employee wouldn't be able to resist, let alone the future king of employees who isn't yet a wealthy one. Thinking this way, Han Li felt he had to let Li have his way with him.

Moreover, Han Li knew that once he poached the person Li had been observing for many years, there would be nothing left for the two sides to discuss.

If things are calm, that's fine. But if Li tries to save face by suppressing the real estate company Huo Jianning switched to, then it's not a matter of whether Han Li wants to get involved or not.

That's why Han Li felt that if he managed to recruit Huo Jianning, he should be prepared to run into Li.

In that case, Hong Kong Electric's cash cow is definitely the best battlefield.

If Han Li wins the match, not only will he increase Huo Jianning's approval rating, but he will also have a golden goose that can lay eggs indefinitely.

It wouldn't matter if he lost, after all, Li has plenty of money in Hong Kong and the help of foreigners, which Han Li can't compare to at all.

However, if things really come to that point, it would be best if Han Li could swallow his anger.

What if I can't resist?
Han Li estimated that he would use his cheat code to make the feng shui of Li's properties, real estate, and even his home bad and cause all sorts of strange phenomena. Then, through stock market manipulation, he would make Li pay out his losses to vent his anger.

If Han Li were a little more ruthless, he could spread the word that Hong Kong Electric's cash cow was a nemesis of Li's family, and maybe he could get that cash cow back.

After thinking about this, Han Li opened his eyes and shook his head vigorously, throwing away most of his previous thoughts.

Han Li picked up his teacup, took a sip to calm his thoughts, and checked the time—it was only 10:30.

The chaotic thoughts he had just had, and the choices he was about to face, prevented Han Li from revisiting the idea of ​​possessing Mount Wutai and enjoying bubble tea.

So Han Li picked up his briefcase and car keys, ignoring Lan Jieying and Ye Zimei's stares, and left the real estate company.

Han Li was feeling a bit confused. He drove away from Knutsford Terrace and had nowhere to go, so he came to the land he had acquired in Saigon to clear his head.

Han Li stopped the car and sat on a rock by the sea. He lit a cigarette, enjoyed the sea breeze, and watched the waves crashing against the shore. He watched the fishermen steer their small boats to fish in the nearshore waters. This gradually calmed his somewhat agitated mood.

After leaving the beach, Han Li drove around his own territory, but he didn't get out of the car at all, only driving on roads that were passable.

Han Li drove from east to west, and because he drove as he pleased, he unknowingly arrived at the foot of Feie Mountain.

Han Li looked at the rusty roadside sign, so worn that even Feie Mountain was barely visible. It reminded him of a scene in a movie where a character named Little Stutterer was captured and taken to the mountain to eat char siu buns.

This also reminded Han Li of a certain female celebrity's future super mansion here, which covers more than 5000 square meters and is known as a "private palace" or "super fortress".

The mansion reportedly features an organic farm, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, numerous recreational facilities, and employs a top chef and 18 servants.

That's all for the future. Right now, land prices in Feie Mountain are very cheap. Han Li is considering whether he should become neighbors with that female celebrity.
Right now, the person who was loitering near Han Li's house in Houhaizi is arguing with someone in Hong Kong.
