Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Advertising is just a scam.

At least in the current Hong Kong Island where the legal system is not yet comprehensive, this kind of gameplay is no different from that of a big liar.

It’s just like the publicity direction that Lou Xiaoe set for those decoration companies.

What European manor-style aristocratic style, British exquisite style...
It has attracted a large number of potential customers, including those who have returned from studying abroad in those places, as well as white-collar workers who yearn to move up there.

This also allowed the developers who cooperated with Lou Xiao'e to make a lot of money.

The speed of house sales has increased a lot compared to the past.

Located in the luxury residential area of ​​Deep Water Bay, the "wooden house" is backed by Victoria Peak and faces Deep Water Bay, conforming to the pattern of "hiding wind and gathering water".

The house has three floors and covers an area of ​​5,000 square feet.

If you include the courtyard, it's 18,000 square feet.

This sounds impressive, but if converted into our area unit, it is equivalent to 2.5 acres of land.

In today's rural areas, a slightly larger courtyard is not much different from his home.

But the cost is definitely different.

Just like today, the courtyard is brightly lit and filled with all kinds of upper-class people, all of them well-dressed, very gentlemanly and ladylike.

Lou Xiao'e was wearing a plain embroidered cheongsam. She just stood there holding a glass of red wine, raising her glass to the passing guests with a sweet smile.

The aura is not lost at all.

"Ms. He Lou, thank you for your visit. It is an honor for our humble home!" The owner of the house, Mr. Mu, did not keep Lou Xiao'e waiting for long.

After exchanging some polite words with the foreigners over there, he walked through the crowd and appeared in front of Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e raised the wine glass in her hand towards the foreigners over there.

There was nothing to be done. The other person was proud of his status and was unwilling to come over, but he made a gesture of raising his glass to Lou Xiao'e.

Then Lou Xiao'e couldn't just ignore those people.

Of course, if Lou Xiao'e took the initiative to go over, she couldn't afford to lose face.

It is obvious that two small circles have been formed at today's cocktail party.

The local businessmen in Hong Kong Island form a large circle.

But there were also a few self-righteous foreigners or fake foreigners who gathered together and formed a small circle.

They are all senior executives of various banks or foreign companies in Hong Kong.

In fact, the level of Mr. Mu’s cocktail party was not that high-end.

This is also in line with his current business status, with one foot in the wealthy circle and the other foot still standing outside.

Many real celebrities did not come.

Some barristers, chief judges, current senior officials in Hong Kong, and some bigwigs in the cultural community did not give him this favor.

If Lou Xiao'e hadn't been invited by the other party, and hadn't had some small calculations when she returned from the old city, she wouldn't have planned to come.

He Yuzhu asked her to observe Mr. Mu more in the real estate market and seize the opportunity.

So as future enemies, knowing yourself and knowing the enemy is also one of the primary conditions.

"I am honored by Mr. Mu's kind invitation.

I just came back from a business trip and didn’t have time to prepare a suitable gift for Mu Weng.

Please forgive me!" Lou Xiao'e also learned bad things from He Yuzhu. When she came here as a guest today, she prepared a bottle of red wine that ordinary people would never see in their lifetime.

But for people of their level,
It's really not presentable.

Although today's red wine has a certain reputation among foreigners, many wealthy Western people also rely on collecting wineries as their background.

But in fact, the market price was not as exaggerated as it was in later generations.

Red wine really became popular during the real estate bubble in the 1980s.

It was at that time that people in Hong Kong also learned how to live a simple life.

Later it was introduced to the mainland.

This is truly a global hit.

So it was not very respectful for Lou Xiao'e to come as a guest with a bottle of so-called high-end red wine. However, everyone was just a courtesy, so Mr. Mu naturally did not want to argue with Lou Xiao'e about this.

The most important thing is that Lou Xiao'e's business has nothing to do with his.

Even though Lou Xiao'e had recently been "not doing her job" to do decoration work, she had promoted it at the yacht club organized by the Huo family.

I didn't ask Mr. Mu for help at all.

This made Mr. Mu very uncomfortable.

Because of that charity fund, Lou Xiao'e is now respected as a "celebrity" in Hong Kong Island.

As for Mr. Mu, the Hong Kong tabloids describe him as a "new rich man" at best.

In the eyes of Hong Kong people, he is inferior to the fat woman in front of him.

Of course, he could also set up a charitable foundation.

But that thing is not something you can do just by wanting to do it.

As mentioned before, you must have a legitimate reason to do this.

Otherwise, you'll end up trying to draw a dog instead of a tiger.

Lou Xiao'e was close to Sijiucheng, and when Sijiucheng was considering whether to accept Lou Xiao'e's assistance, there were different opinions.

Later, Hong Kong accepted it, and Lou Xiao'e suffered a lot of slander in Hong Kong Island.

That's what this thing is.

It is easy to invest some money and set up a charity fund.

But who to help?

Who is willing to make you famous?
Will other people who failed to help have opinions about you?

These are all problems.

Just like Mr. Mu now, he made his fortune by running a plastic flower factory.

He is not stingy, but just average to the workers in the factory.

It's just not generous.

Now he is relying on the foreign companies again.
So even if he wanted to set up a fund similar to Lou Xiao'e's, the question was who to donate to.

It’s about helping the citizens living in the slums of Hong Kong Island.

Maybe some workers from his factory would come forward and ask him to increase the workers’ wages and help “his own people” first.

There will definitely be foreigners asking him for help outside, which will be troublesome.

If you are not careful, you may not only spend money, but also lose your reputation and get into trouble.

Lou Xiao'e had experienced something similar some time ago.

If the ancestors of Hong Kong people were not all in the mainland, Lou Xiao'e's case might not have been resolved.

Of course, now that Lou Xiao'e has transferred all the factories under her name, there will be no problems in this regard in the future.

Otherwise, there won’t be bosses in the future who will laugh at other bosses and say:… I hate some people the most. Their own factories are not doing well, but they still donate money to this and that every day…

If you have the time, you can raise the wages of your workers...

The reputation gained by cheating is also the most unreliable.

Unless you are like the singer in later generations, who does everything by himself, is open and transparent, and persists in doing so for more than ten years.

"...Mr. Lou, there are some friends from the banking industry over there. Would you like to go over and have a chat with us?..." After chatting for a while, Mr. Mu extended another invitation to Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e still had a smile on her face, but she said coldly: "Boss Mu, go and take care of something first.

They are all old friends over there.

We meet quite often.

I walked around and saw the structure of the house.
There is water in front and mountains behind, it is obvious that this is the plan of a famous designer!
Mr. Mu will be rich and powerful in the future, and it is just around the corner!"
