Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

He spent three days with Martha in the capital, and they ran into her friends four or five times in luxury stores. One of the women, a woman who was already in her late twenties, caught He Yuzhu's attention.

"If you're interested in Kami, I advise you to stay away from her. My distant aunt has also said that some people are the kind who cripple or kill others."

Moreover, no one in her family shares my disinterest in politics; her father repeatedly emphasized the need for ruthlessness and zero tolerance for certain issues.

"You know so much about this? You two must be quite close?"

"I'm not very familiar with her. We both belong to a large circle, but not a small one. We have connections, but there are no major conflicts of interest. We're quite warm when we meet."

Some things about her have spread widely in our circle, including three times when she crippled men. She's three years older than me, and we don't usually hang out together, but news of anything happening to anyone spreads very quickly.

"No man."

"Heh, our marriage was a political arrangement. Who cares if we don't go too far with our affairs? She's still not divorced because her family is powerful, isn't she?"

"The entertainment industry is so chaotic!"

"Hmph, you'll be the same in the future. Once you have power and status, you'll change women faster than you change clothes. I just hope you'll spend more time with me, that's all I ask for."

My cousin is only four years older than you. He started changing clothes at fifteen, but because of the family's reputation, no one dares to say anything.

Indeed, later generations reported on the chaos in their circle. Once they grew up, there was basically no distinction between men and women, and there were issues of arranged marriages. Moreover, the younger generation understood how the older generation played their games.

"It's better to keep a low profile. Being too high-profile will only breed resentment and get you into trouble."

"We generally won't be too high-profile. We all need to be mindful of our image, especially those in positions of authority."

"We're fine like this."

"Not many reporters here know me. My father keeps a low profile here, and Minker is in Hong Kong. He has relatives here, and his family is in Nottingham."

"That's good; it won't affect your reputation."

"Haha, maybe you'll be a celebrity in a few years. Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you at the hotel, did you know about the big family in Hong Kong that disappeared without a trace?"

"I know. They've disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead. The higher-ups are exaggerating it; it's impossible not to know. I've also sent a few more bodyguards."

"Our new boss wants to resolve some issues in an extreme way, especially the problems between the two sides. You should act as a pure businessman there and never say anything reckless."

I went to Hong Kong this time because of some properties left by that family. Someone had divided them up to Charles and Richard, but they didn't like them and sold them to me very cheaply.

With these shares, I have reason to frequently visit Hong Kong. Your government also auctions off one-third of its properties.

"They haven't even confirmed whether the person is dead or alive yet, aren't you all being too impatient?"

"What does it matter? If he comes back to life, we'll buy him back with the money, and a small portion of the money belonging to his family will be refunded."

"You guys are really domineering."

"They've already been very polite. They're only dividing the family property, not the person. It's just a front. His family's assets aren't small. I mainly want to see how good the technology of the machinery company is."

What kind of company do you need? I'll buy it for you. This time, you won't get a share; we'll handle it internally.

"I want a large plot of land."

"His machinery company is doing well; it occupies about 0.4 square miles in the west. He also has a grain company and a shipping company, but the land area in Central isn't large!"

"Take over the machinery company. The machinery manufacturing level here isn't as good as yours, but it's acceptable here."

0.4 square miles is not small; it is at least larger than Causeway Bay. One square mile is 2.589 square kilometers, and the area is over one square kilometer.

"no problem."

"Masha will tell you something quietly: if you have the ability and need stable shares to secure your family's financial resources, invest in public utility stocks in Hong Kong. They are gradually going public."

"Is it a stable income, a sure thing? We like this kind of stock the most. In fact, five years ago, my family lost half of its stock income."

Regarding the nationalization issue you mentioned a few days ago, I've been discussing it with my parents, and they've basically agreed. Which country do you favor?

"The US, Japan, Germany, the US, and us here. The US is still the first choice."

"Which company brands do you think are worth buying?"

"Texas Instruments, IBM, Philip Morris, Polaroid, Kodak, and some consumer brands—Americans have money and like to spend it."

"I've noted that. Our family and other families seem to cling to local businesses, and I wonder if they've even grasped the current situation."

"Haha, you can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep."

"That's a good assessment. They're all stubborn, just like you described. They talk about glory all the time; it's so annoying."

"Grandpa's generation!"

"My grandfather and my eldest uncle."

"Besides their past glory, they have little left."

"You are getting to know them."

"We'll have to deal with them sooner or later, so it's essential to understand them. There's a saying where I'm from: 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!'"

"Your military strategy, He, you will succeed. I won't have chosen the wrong person. I don't have much ambition. I just hope my family won't suffer too much and that they can still live in high society while I'm alive."

"Don't be frightened by the plight of some nobles. With me here, you'll be fine. You'll definitely live in high society."

"Okay, thank you."

He Yuzhu thought Masha was a good woman. Her marriage had nothing to do with him. In order to help him gain a foothold in Niu Niu, he wrote a very serious plan.

He kept asking himself if money was important, and only wrote the plan after finally deciding that he wanted to use money to buy status.

After the 1970s, there were so many new industries that it was too easy for her family to live a decent life, even if she let a grain of sand slip through her fingers.

.......

"Hello Mr. Rick, it's a pleasure to meet you." He Yuzhu met Richard Mountbatten at the golf course on the afternoon of the fourth day. He's such a handsome foreigner, I'm a little bit jealous.

"Hey, it's great to see you. How about a drink, or a game of golf?"

"I'd like a light drink. I've played golf a few times; I'm not very skilled, but I'm quite accurate."

Why?

"I know martial arts, so I have excellent control over my strength, which gives me a good feel for the game, making it suitable for sports like golf."

"What? You know martial arts? The legendary Eastern martial arts." Damn, why is Richard so excited?

"I know a little, I know a little."

"Well, could I...? I'm sorry I was being a bit abrupt, but I admire your martial arts. I'm in university..." Richard explained.

It's not a big deal, it's just that this kid saw one of our beautiful girls and, relying on his incredibly handsome looks, tried to woo her.

And that was it. The four young men who were together were beaten to the ground in two pairs, right in front of the school cafeteria.

This time, they lost face completely. Four invincible sophomores were beaten to the ground by a woman in half a minute, and were made to look like monkeys for two or three minutes.

Our pride!

However, he was still a person of status and disdained to play other underhanded tricks against his classmates. He found someone to play against three female classmates and lost 12,000 Niuniu coins.

The four dared not continue fighting, and Richard Mountbatten and his companions remembered it for eight long years.

The harm to women is not severe, but the humiliation is extremely strong!

The four best friends all wanted to regain their pride, and after graduating from university, their female classmate went abroad.

They still remember this!
