Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 404 "403" Central Plaza Auction, Boss Guo: Can I do whatever I want as long as I have the support of the citizens? !

The New Year's Day holiday is over.

The Five Star Group continues to work.

Xie Weihao, the new general manager of the film and television company, reported to Guan Zu the release plan of "Infernal Affairs: If".

"It is expected to be promoted for a week and then officially released on January 1th."

"Infernal Affairs: If" means "if".

If there was no Guan Zu, how would Chen Yongren's fate have developed?
This version is the original version of "Infernal Affairs", Chen Yongren's tragic version.

"Okay! Just follow the plan!"

After Xie Weihao left,

Fang Ting reported the Guo family's auction invitation to Guan Zu: "Tomorrow, the auction will resume at Central Plaza. The time is 10 am, and the venue is the Sotheby's auction center at Chater House in Landmark Plaza..."

Because all the bidders’ money, billions of Hong Kong dollars, are piled up there, and not bidding as soon as possible would be a huge waste of funds.

Therefore, several bidders were urging Guo to auction the property as soon as possible.

Guan Zu nodded: "Okay, go get ready!"

Fang Ting left the office.
Guan Zu called Xiao Fu and said, "Gong Wei should be on a flight at 3pm. You and A Xing should go to the airport to pick him up."

Xiao Fu: "Okay, Brother Zu!"

……

……

At 3 pm, a plane flew over the abandoned Kowloon Walled City and landed towards Kai Tak Airport.

Gong Wei took Li Xia and Gu Gong off the plane.

Xiaofu and Axing arrived at the airport long time in advance, looking forward to it.

Xiao Fu leaned forward slightly, staring at the direction of the passage without blinking, his joy was beyond words, and he raised his hand to look at his watch from time to time.

"It should be arriving soon."

Soon, the crowd surged out like a tide, and Gong Wei and his family stood out from the crowd. Gong Wei came out with his luggage on his back, gently protecting his wife and children.

Gonggu's little head kept turning, looking around curiously, sometimes at the high electronic display screen, sometimes at the colorful taxi parked in the distance.

"Awei!" Xiao Fu shouted at the top of his voice as soon as he saw them.

Gong Wei was immediately excited when he saw Xiaofu.

"Brother Fu!"

Li Xia: "Brother Fu!"

Consolidation: "Uncle!"

The mother and son were very grateful to Xiaofu.

Xiao Fu said, "Brother Zu always remembered the time when you came to Hong Kong Island, and asked me to pick you up early in the morning. Brother Zu repeatedly reminded me to receive you well."

Gong Wei was immediately moved: "Thank you, Brother Zu!"

Ah Xing walked up to Gu Gong, squatted down, and said with a smile: "You must be Xiao Gu, you look very smart...Call me Brother Xing!"

Ah Xing is only 19 years old this year. In fact, he is very young and a little immature.

Gong Gu was very obedient: "Brother Xing!"

Ah Xing laughed and patted Gonggu's shoulder gently: "Xiao Gu, there are many fun places in Hong Kong Island. If you want to know anything, just ask me."

Gong Wei looked at the enthusiastic Xiaofu and Ah Xing, and his heart was filled with gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work, you came all the way to pick us up."

The five people left the airport reception hall and came to the parking lot.

A majestic black Chevrolet came into everyone's sight, with tough and smooth body lines, showing its extraordinary temperament.

After getting in the car, Ah Xing held the steering wheel steadily, while Xiao Fu sat in the passenger seat, occasionally looking back to interact with Gong Wei's family. The car sped towards the city, and the bustling street scene outside the window flashed by like a movie scene.

There are rows of towering skyscrapers, with glass curtain walls reflecting dazzling light;

We then entered the Kowloon area, where the streets were busy with traffic and colorful billboards were everywhere. We then entered the Hung Hom Tunnel, and after exiting the tunnel we arrived at Causeway Bay, and walked all the way into Causeway Bay.

Xiao Fu said to Gong Wei in the car, "The house that Zu Ge arranged for you is the same one as Zu Ge's. It's about 60 square meters. I hope you don't think it's too small."

Gong Wei quickly said, "No, no, and it's our honor to live near Brother Zu."

Xiao Fu: "What Ka Kui... um, no, furniture, quilts and the like, have all been purchased. You can see if there is anything you need and buy it yourself... By the way, regarding your sister-in-law's illness, go to Mingxin Hospital tomorrow to handle the formalities. Brother Zu has arranged for someone to take you there. First, you will have a comprehensive examination, and then we will organize a consultation with experts."

Gong Wei, Li Xia and Gong Gu all felt Guan Zu's care.

Xiao Fu: "Oh, there is one more thing. You are new here, so I would like to invite you to his house for dinner tonight."

Gong Wei's eyes were red.

He couldn't bear such deep concern!

at night,

Guan Zu invited Abu, Gao Gang, Li Jie, and the two little kids Gao Hu and Guiyan to the family dinner.

Guan Zu called a neighborhood auntie over to make a sumptuous dinner.

Guan Zu raised his glass and said: "Welcome Ah Wei to join our team. We will be a family from now on!"

"cheers!"

Abu, Gao Gang, Li Jie: "Cheers!"

Gong Wei and Li Xia (tea) raised their glasses quickly: "Thank you!!"

The three little ghosts Gao Hu, Gui Yan and Gong Gu were drinking juice.

Gao Hu and Guiyan looked at Gonggu, and Gonggu looked at Gao Hu and Guiyan, staring at each other.

Ghost Eyes was eager to try: "I heard that you are a young martial arts champion?"

Consolidation: “Yeah.”

Ghost Eyes said excitedly: "Let's go to the ring tomorrow. I want to fight you."

Gong Gu was also excited: "Okay, but I have to go to the hospital with my mother tomorrow."

Ghost Eyes: "Okay, I'll wait for you. Don't play tricks on me, or you won't grow taller!"

Consolidation: “…………”

Oh, so childish~~~
At this time, Guan Zu looked at the loyalty level above Gong Wei's head, which had reached 100%.

"Dear fellow citizens... welcome to watch tonight's ATV News..."

"According to the latest information obtained from the police force... based on the great contributions made by Organized Crime and Triad Bureau and the Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters in eliminating the gangster gang last time..."

"Former Director of the Hong Kong Island District and Assistant Commissioner of Police, Wong Ping-yiu, has been promoted to Senior Assistant Commissioner... and transferred to the position of Director of Department B (Criminal and Security Department) under the Operations Department..."

"In addition, the former head of Organized Crime and Triads, Chief Superintendent Szeto Kit, was promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police and transferred to the post of Chief Police Officer of Hong Kong Island!"

“In addition, other meritorious police officers have received corresponding rewards.”

Guan Zu was not surprised when he read the news.

Because Guan Zu had already received the news yesterday, he opened champagne to celebrate halftime last night.

This time, the promotion and transfer were obviously the work of the big boss, who won over Wong Ping-yiu and Szeto Kit, without losing the base in Hong Kong Island and O-Triad Society because of the promotion.

In addition,

Chen Guozhong and Qiu Gangao were both promoted to senior superintendent of police, and everyone behind them was also promoted.

And what about Raymond in West Kowloon?

I was so envious that I wanted to cry. I called Guan Zu to talk to him and asked him to give me a big case someday.

However, cases like the Gangster Band are rare.

ATV News Wen Huixin continues to report:
"Here's a new piece of news..."

"Tomorrow, the auction plan of Central Plaza will be restarted, and the venue will be changed to Chater House in Landmark Plaza..."

"The list of wealthy people who participated in the bidding for this project includes Mr. Li Ji from the Mega Group, Mr. Guo from the Swire Group and Kerry Properties, Mr. Wu from Wharf Properties... and Mr. Guan from the Five Star Group..."

“Who will win the Central Plaza this time?”

"Stay tuned..."

……

……

a new day,
The morning light penetrates the gaps between the high-rise buildings on Hong Kong Island and pours down onto the Chater House and Sotheby's Auction Center at The Landmark.

Guan Zu, Fang Ting and Xiao Fu got out of the car and entered the auction center.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a huge mammoth bone.

"Mr. Guan!"

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind.

Guan Zu looked back and saw that it was Mr. Wu from the Wharf Group.

"Mr. Wu..."

Guan Zu took one look at the dozen or so bodyguards behind Boss Wu, all dressed in black suits and ties, and was speechless.

Are you too scared of death?

Boss Wu was also speechless: Guan Zu was kidnapped once, why did he only bring one bodyguard?

What confidence this is!

Guan Zu: "Mr. Wu, you guys at Wharf Holdings don't lack landmark buildings, so there's no need to fight for this project, right?"

"Haha, who would complain about it being too little? Right?"

Guan Zu: "Okay, I won't be polite later, I hope I won't hurt our relationship."

The two are now in a partnership. Guan Zu rented 1 square meters of Harbour City for 10 years for HK$15 to open a five-star supermarket. Boss Wu: “Hahaha~~ No way.”

While the two were chatting, they saw the Malaysian boss Guo, who was coming with a dozen bodyguards.

When Guan Zu saw Boss Guo coming, his expression immediately changed.

He doesn't have a good impression of Boss Guo.

Well... in short, I just don't like it. After all, what with the golden arowana and orchids... what with the blended cooking oil and science and technology...

By the way, Mr. Guo’s cooking oil is not sold in Five Star Supermarket.

After seeing Guan Zu, Boss Guo came over and said enthusiastically:
"Mr. Guan... I have heard a lot about you and have always wanted to meet you. I wonder if you are free after the auction..."

The reason was that Five Star Supermarket did not include his rice, flour, oil and grain in its purchasing list.

This was also due to his boss Guo. At that time, the Five Star Supermarket was being planned, and Boss Li found Boss Guo and told him not to supply Guo’s products to Guan Zu.

At that time, Boss Li's supermarket empire occupied 75% of the market share, a complete monopoly. Boss Guo did not dare to offend him, so he refused to let Tan Meili in.

And now...

Five-star Supermarket is beating Wellcome and Baijia Supermarket. Now it is Boss Guo’s turn to feel uncomfortable. The sales of his rice, flour, grain and oil have been hit hard.

Therefore, Boss Guo tried to negotiate with Tan Meili and Guan Zu many times, but was turned away.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

You looked down on me before, but now you can’t afford me.

Tan Meili was proud of this for a long time.

"Ah……"

Guan Zu just chuckled. The elevator arrived at that moment. He walked in with Fang Ting and Xiao Fu, ignoring Boss Guo.

When Boss Wu saw the conflict between Guan Zu and Boss Malay Guo, he did not get involved and walked into the elevator with a blank expression.

A bunch of bodyguards squeezed in and the elevator was full.

Boss Guo who couldn’t get on the elevator: “…………”

His face turned pale instantly.

……

……

Auction hall.

Soon, Guan Zu, Fang Ting, and Boss Wu and his secretary walked into the hall.

At the entrance of the hall, there are two life-size bronze sculptures on both sides, one is Hermes, who is in charge of commerce and wealth in ancient Greece, and the other is Zhao Gongming, the ancient Chinese god of wealth.

The entire hall is oval in shape, with an auction table half a meter above the ground in the center, carved from a single piece of black marble.

Above the dome, the giant crystal chandelier looks like falling stars.

The walls are inlaid with precious walnut panels and hung with paintings by famous artists, ranging from classical European landscape paintings to abstract modern art...

In the auction hall, Boss Li Ji, the foreigners from Swire Group, and Mr. Huang from Singapore came to join in the fun.

As soon as Guan Zu and Boss Wu came in, everyone looked over.

"Mr. Guan~~"

"Mr. Wu~~"

"Mr. Li~~"

Say hello to everyone.

At this time, the host, Mr. Guo Da, Mr. Guo Er, and Mr. Guo San, came in and started chatting with everyone.

Boss Guo forced a smile and walked into the auction hall.

10: 00,

The auction officially begins.

Everyone took their seats.

The female auctioneer walked onto the stage in a black backless dress, looking very elegant:
"Good morning, distinguished guests..."

"The 45% stake in Central Plaza that was auctioned today is located in the core area of ​​Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island. It integrates high-end commercial, top-level office, luxury shopping and other diversified business formats..."

The project was introduced for more than 10 minutes.

Then he talked about the auction rules.

"The starting price is HK$35 billion, and each bid increase must not be less than HK$100 million. Please raise your placards and follow the bidding order."

After he finished speaking, he tapped the auction hammer lightly:
"The auction officially begins!"

Guan Zu raised his hand and held up the number plate high: "36 billion!"

The brief silence at the beginning was instantly broken.

Not to be outdone, Mr. Wu of Wharf Properties quickly followed up with, “36.5 billion.”

Although the three Guo brothers were the sellers, their eyes were also fixed on the auction situation at this moment.

The representative of Swire Properties then raised a sign: "36.7 billion."

Boss Li Ji raised the price again without hesitation: "36.8 billion."

Bidding boards went back and forth, and the prices soared.

The wealthy people kept clashing with each other, each with their own thoughts, and every time they raised their signs it seemed like a silent contest.

Five minutes later, the price approached 5 billion.

The competitive pressure remains high.

This price has exceeded the 45 billion that everyone originally thought it would be. It is obvious that several wealthy people are very optimistic about this project.

The same goes for Guan Zu. Making money from this project is a small matter. What matters most is reputation and strength.

"51 million!"

"52 million!"

"53 million!"

A consecutive increase of 3 million!

At this moment, several wealthy men showed some hesitation.

"53 million!"

"53 million!"

Then the speed began to slow down.

Boss Li Ji thought about it and decided he had another project plan. He had a piece of land in Central (the future Hong Kong International Financial Center (Phase 1998, ) (Phase was the building that was criticized by Hong Kong residents as "mosquito-repellent coils", as shown in the picture)).

(ps: The shorter one on the left side of the picture is the first phase.)
Now this Central Plaza is not the only choice for boss Li Ji.

So he chose to give up.

At this time, Boss Wu also hesitated. Just as Guan Zu said, his Wharf Group has Harbour City, so it is not short of landmark buildings. Now the price is a bit beyond expectations.

So, Boss Wu also chose to give up.

On the Swire Group side, the Swire Group has several landmarks, and it seems that Guan Zu and Boss Malay Guo are still as imposing as ever.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up.

So, only Guan Zu and Malay Boss Guo were left at the scene, and the two of them were fighting back and forth.

Boss Guo needs a building to demonstrate his strength.

Guan Zu: “54 billion!”

Boss Guo: “54 billion!”

Guan Zu: “55 billion!”

Boss Guo: “55 billion!”

Guan Zu did not hesitate: "56 billion!"

Boss Guo: “…………”

Hesitated.

Then he started to feel embarrassed.

He is different from Guan Zu. Guan Zu's money is the citizens' money, with a base of 70 billion, and if there is not enough money later, he can still continue to raise funds!
And what about yourself?

If we acquire this part of the equity, we will need to invest more than 20 billion yuan in the future to continue building the building...which means that more than 70 billion yuan or nearly 80 billion yuan will not be able to be redeemed in the next two years.

Can you handle it?
Even if it is mortgaged to a bank, will it increase the risk of capital turnover?
Thinking of this,
He sighed and stopped holding up the sign.

I feel that 'the local gangs are too rude'. How can they use the citizens' money to compete with rich people like themselves?

Is it a big deal to have the support of citizens?

Can you do whatever you want?
Hey!
"56 billion, is there a higher price?"

"56 billion for the second time..."

"56 billion for the third time..."

Bang~~~
Finally, the auction hammer fell heavily.

The dust settled.

Auctioneer: "Congratulations, Mr. Guan Zu, for successfully bidding for 56% of the shares of Central Plaza at a high price of HK$45 billion!"

Guan Zu smiled.

The Central Plaza project is officially in hand!
