Hong Kong film: The Ni family tycoon, who kills people and then amasses an army.

Ni Yongyao stood up and greeted him (okay).

Norton laughed and then pulled a young girl over, saying, "Let me introduce you, this is my youngest daughter, Hilly."

Ever since you appeared on TV, she's become a huge fan of yours. When she found out you were at the banquet, she kept pestering me to bring her along.

Upon hearing these words, Ni Yongyao's gaze fell upon a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing next to Norton.

“Mr. Ni…”

Hillline seemed timid, keeping her head down and not daring to look at Ni Yongyao. As she spoke timidly, she also stretched out her arm in front of Ni Yongyao.

Hilly wore a white evening gown, which, unlike Firefox's fitted style, accentuated the girl's purity.

"Hello, Miss Hilly."

Ni Yongyao understood what Hillline meant, and then pinched the girl's fingers and gently kissed the back of her fair and delicate hand.

A hand kiss is a common courtesy in the British Empire, but Hillyne clearly didn't think so, her cheeks already flushed.

Upon seeing this, Norton immediately burst into laughter, attracting the attention of many people.

However, upon seeing the governor and his youngest daughter, everyone averted their gaze, and no one dared to risk eavesdropping on the conversation between the governor and Ni Yongyao.

"Syllyne, I'm thirsty. Could you get me a glass of red wine?"

Norton dismissed his blushing youngest daughter and then chatted with Ni Yongyao.

Norton greatly admires Ni Yongyao.

Although Hong Kong Island is large, no one has risen from adversity like Ni Yongyao in just a few months.

Furthermore, the companies they founded are all top-tier in their respective fields.

Even as governor, Norton had to treat Ni Yongyao differently, not to mention that his youngest daughter greatly admired him.

After their conversation, Norton developed an even greater appreciation for Ni Yongyao.

Norton patted Ni Yongyao on the shoulder and said, "What do you think of Hilly? As long as you marry my children, I will fully support you..."

P.S.: My new book is launching! I'm begging for your support with flowers, reviews, and monthly tickets! ...Zhou.

Even a single flower, a review vote, or a monthly pass would be appreciated...

Chapter 111 The Governor Makes Empty Promises! Expanding the British Market!

“I’m getting old and will be stepping down in a few years. As long as you marry Hilly, I will fully support you and you will have a chance to take my place.”

Norton spoke to Ni Yongyao in a tone that was not like he was talking to someone he had just met, but rather like he was talking to a junior member of his family.

This was certainly not because Ni Yongyao was handsome, nor because Hilline liked Ni Yongyao. What Norton truly valued was the power of the Ni family that Ni Yongyao controlled.

It is now 1991, and soon Hong Kong Island will be separated from the British Empire. Norton is well aware of this, and no one can change this process.

Therefore, Norton thought of bringing Ni Yongyao, who possessed enormous power and assets, into his fold, as a way to plan for the future. This way, whether he returned to the British Isles or stayed in Hong Kong Island, he would be much more at ease.

If Norton had said these words, anyone else who was valued so highly by the governor would likely have immediately pledged their loyalty.

But Ni Yongyao did not.

Ni Yongyao knew very well that Norton's words were nothing more than a huge promise, intended to bind him to Norton's side.

A few years later?

By then, Hong Kong Island will have returned to China. Even if Norton's promises come true, it will still be a loss for Ni Yongyao.

If Ni Yongyao really agrees, he will be branded as part of Norton's side and lose the support from the mainland, which is completely contrary to Ni Yongyao's plan.

Moreover, even setting aside these factors, Ni Yongyao simply couldn't accept marrying Hilly.

Ni Yongyao would never give up the whole forest for the sake of one tree.

Therefore, in response to Norton's enthusiasm, Ni Yongyao smiled but did not give any affirmative answer.

Seeing this, Norton didn't show any emotion and still said with a smile, "Anyway, you two still have a few years, so you can cultivate your relationship first."

Norton also planned to take this opportunity to observe Ni Yongyao for a while longer and see if Ni Yongyao could continue his previous success.

"I have a very good impression of Miss Hillyline."

Ni Yongyao said.

Marrying Hilly is impossible, but being "friends" is definitely not a problem.

After all, Sylvie is really beautiful.

"Haha, in that case, I won't get involved in your young people's affairs."

Norton laughed loudly.

Ni Yongyao nodded, and then took the opportunity to bring up his idea of ​​contracting out the prison.

If we're talking about the most powerful person in Hong Kong, it has to be this foreigner in front of me.

"Contracting out prisons?"

Norton said, somewhat surprised.

If anyone else had said the words "contracting out the prison," Norton wouldn't have even bothered to acknowledge them and would have told them to get lost.

However, since the target is Ni Yongyao, Norton needs to think it over carefully.

Norton had lived in Hong Kong for decades and was very familiar with the ways of the world in the East. Therefore, he knew that if he wanted to win over Ni Yongyao, he would have to offer him some sweetness first.

It seems that 430 isn't enough to get one Hilly.

"Young people like you have ideas. Tell me, which prison are you planning to take over?"

Norton stated.

Stanley Prison.

Ni Yongyao said that he had set this goal long before coming to the banquet.

Stanley?

Norton nodded, then waved to a Western woman not far away and said, "Lina!"

Lina, dressed in an evening gown, walked gracefully over and stood beside Norton and Ni Yongyao.

"Let me introduce you. This is my housekeeper, Lina. She will take care of things at Stanley Prison for you."

Norton pointed to Lina and introduced her.

"Mr. Ni."

Lina reached out her hand to Ni Yongyao, a hint of allure in her eyes.

After that, things became much simpler. With Norton's permission, Ni Yongyao and Lina discussed some details and finalized the deal to take over Stanley Prison.

After the banquet, Ni Yongyao bid farewell to Norton and, under Hilly's reluctant gaze, left the governor's mansion with Fire Fox.

Return to Ni Family Manor.

Ni Yongyao called Gao Jin to his study.

"Mr. Ni, what can I do for you?"

Gao Jin, dressed in a sharp suit and with his hair neatly combed, respectfully asked Ni Yongyao.

"Go to Stanley Prison tomorrow, complete the formalities, and then the prison will be under your management."

Ni Yongyao gave the instructions.

Appointing Ko Chun to manage Stanley Prison is a good fit for his expertise.

"Yes, Mr. Ni."

Gao Jin nodded solemnly and agreed.

"Go down."

Ni Yongyao waved his hand.

After acquiring Stanley Prison, Ni Yongyao planned to have Black Steel Industries send a batch of basic orders there for the inmates to complete, which would be a way to make use of the waste.

Taking over Stanley Prison was not important to Ni Yongyao in terms of economic benefits; it was just a side benefit.

The important thing is that from this moment on, the Ni family began to assume some of the social functions of Hong Kong Island.

In Ni Yongyao's plan, the Ni family will eventually assume all social functions, making millions of citizens of Hong Kong Island closely connected with the Ni family from birth to death.

By then, it won't matter to Ni Yongyao whether Hong Kong Island belongs to the mainland or the British Empire.

……

the next day.

Gao Jin left the manor and went to Stanley Prison to complete the formalities.

The manor then attracted two guests.

“Mr. Ni, the governor asked me to bring Hilly here.”

Lina said with a smile, with a shy-looking Hilly standing beside her.

Ni Yongyao's gaze swept over the two of them.
