A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

The night is long!

Masami Nagasawa quickly became flustered. She had originally planned to take a shower and rest, but when she followed the sound, she saw a shy scene.

“Yami”

"Ah, Butler Yukina, I didn't mean it!"

Yukina smiled and hugged Masami Nagasawa, saying, "It's okay! You've grown up now, it's normal."

"Ah, but Okaasan, won't Ms. Tsukasa Yoko fire her?"

After finally getting in touch with the zaibatsu, Okaasan did something like this. Will they have a hard time making a living in the future?

Yukina said with a smile, "Mr. Chen has health problems, so Ms. Tsukasa Yoko couldn't stand it anymore and asked you, Okaasan, to help resolve it. By the way, you probably don't know anything about this kind of thing yet, right? Since you've already seen it, why not learn a bit? Consider it a lesson!"

"Ah, Butler Yukina, how could I do such a shameful thing!"

"It's okay, listen to me!"

Early the next morning.

Chen Guangliang and Si Yezi had breakfast together, and Ishihara Satomi and Nagasawa Masami also sat down with them, and even Yukina sat down.

"Yamei, you can rest here for the day. You worked hard last night!"

Recalling the scene from last night, Chen Guangliang smiled. Masami Nagasawa was the most tender food he had ever eaten, the kind that bursts with juice with every bite.

Masami Nagasawa dared not look at Satomi Ishihara at this moment, and Satomi Ishihara's feelings were also conflicted. She didn't know how things had developed this way. Her relationship with Mr. Chen was completely acceptable, after all, Mr. Chen was very charming, and it was with Ms. Yoko Tsukasa's permission. But last night, when Masami Nagasawa was pinned down by Mr. Chen, she didn't even get up to stop it; she could only watch helplessly.

Masami Nagasawa said shyly, "Yes, Mr. Chen!"

After breakfast, Satomi Ishihara was called to the study by Chen Guangliang and Si Yezi.

Si Yezi then reverted to her strong-woman demeanor and said, "Li Mei, from now on, you and Ya Mei will both be my husband's pets. Of course, if you don't want to, you can refuse today, but you can no longer follow me!"

Satomi Ishihara felt instantly humiliated. She looked at Chen Guangliang and quickly said, without any apparent reason, "Master."

Si Yezi then smiled and said, "Good! As long as you serve me wholeheartedly every time, you can be as trusted as Nao Miharu and gain my favor, and a life of high society will be within your grasp."

Satomi Ishihara immediately revealed her ambition and said, "Thank you, Ms. Tsukasa Yoko."

Looking at the four women, Chen Guangliang thought to himself, "This is what a tycoon looks like."

Being a 'chaebol' in Hong Kong is quite possible, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy in Japan, thanks in large part to Si Yezi's thoughtfulness. Therefore, to express his gratitude to Si Yezi, Chen Guangliang would not allow other Japanese women to become pregnant.

In the evening, Chen Guangliang took Si Yezi and Xue Nai back to the ancestral home of the fourth branch of the Chen family in Tokyo.

As soon as he got home, he found that Chen Wenying had brought a girl home; she had come to meet his parents.

Chen Wenying's girlfriend, Junko Tokugawa, is a descendant of the Tokugawa family in Japan, also known as the "Japanese nobility." After the Tokugawa Shogunate ended, the Tokugawa family did not perish but became local financial groups. Although they cannot be compared with Japan's six major financial groups, they are at least considered a strong local faction.

"Father, Mother, this is Junko Tokugawa. She was a student in England and went on to work in diplomacy after returning to Japan."

Junko Tokugawa looked at Chen Wenying's mysterious father, and when their eyes met, she felt inexplicably nervous, and of course, a little surprised. She admired Chen Wenying very much, thinking him to be a very intelligent, opinionated, and capable man, and that he himself was very charming.

After dating for six months, she gave herself to Chen Wenying, because she simply couldn't resist his charm. But today she discovered that Chen Wenying's charm was inherited from his father; no wonder this refined man could be such a womanizer.

At the beginning, Chen Wenying told Tokugawa Junko that his mother was just one of his father's mistresses, and that he could be called an 'illegitimate child'. Tokugawa Junko was taken aback by this frankness, but she soon discovered that Chen Wenying remained confident and still showed fervent adoration when talking about his father.

Now it all makes sense!

Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen

Chen Guangliang sized up Tokugawa Junko. He didn't have high requirements for his daughter-in-law; education and character were enough. As for whether Tokugawa Junko was a descendant of a prominent family, that was secondary. In any case, his son and grandson would also rise to the top of the real country, because of their genes and command abilities.

"Well, Wenying should have told you about our family, right?"

“I did say that. Wenying said that you are very charismatic, Uncle, and also a very great entrepreneur. He hopes that he can become an outstanding entrepreneur like you.”

Chen Guangliang looked at Tokugawa Junko and said, "You're very smart!"

After chatting for a while, Chen Guangliang led Chen Wenying upstairs to the study, while Si Yezi chatted with Tokugawa Junko.

"Father, what do you think of Chunzi?" Chen Wenying asked somewhat nervously.

If his father didn't like Junko, he would never marry her, because he wouldn't go against his father's wishes.

Chen Guangliang said with a smile, "As long as you can win her over, what objection could I possibly have? For me, as long as my daughter-in-law has a good education and good character, everything else is up to you to like. Of course, you also have a mission to complete!"

Chen Wenying said, "I know, it's about having Chunzi give me sons, at least two! Because I bear the responsibility of expanding the Chen family in Japan!"

Chen Guangliang was very satisfied with his son's intelligence and obedience, and said, "In short, get married and have children as soon as possible! Career is important, but family is also very important."

"Yes, father"

Then, Chen Guangliang handed a document to Chen Wenying and said, "This is a concept for a 'handheld game console GAME & WATCH.' Electronic Arts should establish a project department as soon as possible."

Chen Wenying excitedly took the materials and was immediately captivated. The GAME & WATCH section already included a schematic diagram of the design—a D-pad and an LCD screen. Regarding game software, there was an introduction to "Donkey Kong," and they could also explore cooperation with Midea Games Entertainment to distribute "Hong Kong Blocks."
"Father, are you entrusting us with the development of the 'Donkey Kong' game?"

He understood that Atari in the United States, Electronic Arts in Japan, and Midea in Hong Kong were all part of his father's business portfolio, with Midea Games and Entertainment primarily responsible for software.

"Yes, we'll leave the development to you. After all, GAME & WATCH needs a representative game software!"

Thank you, Father.

Chen Guangliang nodded and said, "You can contact me if there are any issues."

"Ok"

Chen Wenying happily walked out of the study, and then he saw that Tokugawa Junko was also favored by his mother, which made him smile.

That night, Tokugawa Junko stayed overnight, and Chen Wenying went straight into her bedroom.

Upstairs, Chen Guangliang was also busy. The housekeeper, Xue Nai, was lying on the desk with sushi on her body, while Chen Guangliang and Si Yezi were holding wine glasses, thinking about the feast.

Yukina has a very voluptuous figure, which makes the sushi look petite and delicate. But speaking of which, after so many years, Yukina, at 45, actually looks like a woman in her thirties, appearing much younger.

She is special in this family. Chen Wenying, Chen Wensheng, and Chen Yingyi all know about Aunt Xuenai's relationship with their father. Although Xuenai is the key, the two sons and one daughter call her "Auntie" and treat her like a mother.

And Yukina always kept her duties in mind, making her an ideal housekeeper.

Soon after, loud, booming sounds also came from the study.

Afterwards, Si Yezi lay in Chen Guangliang's arms, while Xue Nai lay panting on one side.

Si Yezi twisted her body to adjust to the most comfortable position: "Husband, let's plan to have Wenying and Chunzi get married this year, and then have a child this year too."

"So urgent?"

Si Yezi smiled and said, "Yes, I also want to become a grandmother as soon as possible. If I can't get pregnant this year, I will, and give them another little brother!"

Family, family, she had to ensure that the third generation increased.

Chen Guangliang laughed and said, "Chunzi looks like she's good at having children, so you don't need to worry about that. Besides, Wenying and Wensheng look like well-behaved kids. If each of them has four children, that's eight children. According to our family's genes, there will be at least four boys, maybe even five or six."

In the second generation of the Chen family, only Chen Wenkai has two sons and two daughters, with a male-to-female ratio of 50/50; however, Chen Wenkai and his wife Fang Yi plan to have another child.

Chen Wenming and An Shuhui, a married couple, had four sons.

Chen Wenjin and Kelly are a married couple with four sons and one daughter.

It's normal for Si Yezi to have such thoughts; she also has to ensure that the third generation of this branch of the family in Japan will have many children and much happiness.

Si Yezi smiled and said, "That's for the best."

The next morning, Junko Tokugawa blushed as she ate breakfast. She wondered if her aunt and uncle had heard the strange noises she had made the night before. She quickly realized they must have; her aunt had already shared her parenting advice with her.

After Chen Guangliang left Japan, Si Yezi immediately threw herself into her work.

"Satomi, why haven't you prepared the stock information I requested regarding copper, silver, and gold?" Si Yezi immediately gave Ishihara Satomi a hard time.

Satomi Ishihara quickly replied, "President, it's still in preparation, but I'll definitely be able to hand it over to you tomorrow!"

Si Yezi slapped Ishihara Satomi on the buttocks and said seriously, "Life is life, and work is work. I don't like it when you can't tell the difference. Remember, what I can give you, I can also take away."

"Yes, President."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Watching Satomi Ishihara leave, Si Yezi smiled. She knew that any woman her man had trained wouldn't cause trouble. Of course, she also needed to keep a close eye on her subordinates and prevent them from causing trouble.

“Rimi and Yami have kept my husband here for quite a while this time. It seems he has been holding back for a long time. Although all four of us wives can satisfy him, a man as great as my husband is truly special.”

"I can't be selfish! The company can recruit a pair of sisters later, since this company doesn't need to be too formal anyway!"

Now, Si Yezi's two sons have each gone their own way. Although her investment company has a lot of assets, they are all just simple securities and property investments. So what if it becomes her husband's comfortable home?

Of course, this company still has many employees.

On April 4, Tang Xin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the MTR Corporation, and Chen Wenjie of Cheung Kong Holdings first signed an agreement for the development of properties above Central Station; the agreement for properties above Admiralty Station will be negotiated and signed at a later date.

On April 5, Hong Kong newspapers reported on the bidding results, all focusing on "Cheung Kong defeating Hongkong Land".

The Commercial Daily reported: "The former General Post Office site in Central District, valued at approximately HK$2.6 million and bid by 30 major conglomerates, was ultimately won by Cheung Kong Holdings Limited. This 'land king,' with an average land price of just over HK$1 per square foot, had long been coveted by major conglomerates, but was finally acquired by Cheung Kong."

According to the MTR Corporation, the main reason was that the conditions listed in the proposal submitted by Cheung Kong were exceptionally generous and attractive, which ultimately enabled them to stand out and win the exclusive right to operate the development of the area with the MTR Corporation.

"The board of directors of the MTR Corporation approved the terms of the agreement yesterday, which requires Cheung Kong Holdings to build a 37-story single-tower building with mixed commercial and office space on a 2270-square-foot site above the future Central Station of the MTR."

"Cheung Kong Holdings Limited has agreed to pay the MTR Corporation a cash payment upon signing the agreement, and to continue to make cash payments several times in a manner that guarantees the MTR Corporation a profit regardless of circumstances."

That evening, Tang Xin held a press conference and told the reporters present:

“The building will be sold to the public floor by floor, with the profits shared between the MTR Corporation and Cheung Kong Holdings, with the MTR Corporation taking the larger share.”

"Several companies were very interested in cooperating with our company, resulting in fierce competition. All proposals were studied in detail, and in the end, Cheung Kong was the winner because its proposal was the most attractive to our company."

The media said that Cheung Kong's winning the bid was "a matter of course" and "within reason." However, the media praised Chen Wenjie, saying, "Like father, like son, he has soared to great heights."

This is the biggest thing Chen Wenjie has done since becoming general manager.

It is said that the Keswick family is very dissatisfied with Newbigen's loss of the prime land in the central district!

Upon returning to Hong Kong, Chan Kwong-leung was not surprised to learn that Cheung Kong Holdings had won the bid.

“The real estate market will definitely be booming next year. At that time, we will sell the ‘International Building’ above the Central Station to Cheung Kong Industrial. Of course, we need to communicate well with the MTR Corporation!” Chen Guangliang instructed.

Chen Wenjie nodded and said, "As long as the real estate market is booming and the profits are substantial, we will sell this building. The MTR Corporation won't really care who we sell it to; they just want a one-time sale with a good profit. Cheung Kong Industrial Group isn't short of money either, and they're considering long-term development, so it's no problem for them either. However, the development rights for the Admiralty station are larger than those for the Central station."

Chen Guangliang waved his hand and said, "Regardless of what, Cheung Kong and Cheung Kong Holdings will jointly acquire Admiralty Station, each holding half of the shares."

"Ok!"

Then, Chen Wenjie said, "Father, the Hong Kong government will definitely auction the one next to our site in Tsim Sha Tsui next month. I will personally attend the auction and win it."

Chen Guangliang nodded, thinking that no real estate company would deliberately try to sabotage the project. If Cheung Kong Holdings intended to develop the two plots of land together, it would just be a normal auction.

In Tsim Sha Tsui East, three plots of land are currently being auctioned, and prices haven't yet skyrocketed, but they should start to rise this year. (End of Chapter)
