Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"What? Are you saying I'm too old to learn your martial arts, and that I'd be better off learning military combat techniques?"

"We basically start training martial arts for children who are six years old or older. I started at six, and my younger sister started at seven and a half.

I can easily generate a force of a thousand pounds, mainly because I've been practicing martial arts for the past sixteen years, and it was very tough when I first started.

"It's a pity, there are requirements for practicing martial arts."

"It's not exactly a requirement, but a basic condition. Age makes a difference, and the training results also differ..."

"He, thank you. I understand. It's a matter of reaching the upper limit, not that you can't practice it, but the effect isn't as good as military combat techniques."

"Uncle Rick, Aunt Martha, what are you talking about? Will you play golf with me?" A child's voice came from twenty meters away. One was a child of about ten years old, and the other was a man of about thirty.

"Charles, you've arrived. Are you here for a golf game today? Let me introduce you. This is He, from Hong Kong, and this is Prince Charles."

"Hello Charles." Martha and Charles were also familiar with each other.

"Your Highness, hello. My name is He Yuzhu."

"Hello, my name is Charles, you can call me Charles from now on. I haven't met many Asians, but I feel a sense of familiarity with you, I don't know why?"

"In the East, we call it 'love at first sight,' which means two people feel a connection with each other upon their first meeting—it's a bit of a mystery."

You're so friendly towards me. Could it be that we both have widow-loving blood? This transcends national boundaries, and our friendship will last forever.

Next, he accompanied Charles to play golf. Their royal family has a lot of training, and the thirty-year-old man was there to supervise and accompany him during the golf game.

"He, your technique isn't perfect, but your power control is amazing. You can hole out long bunker shots from fairways in one shot. You can also do short putts of about a yard."

"He's really good. If I were as good as him, I wouldn't play golf anymore. I'd prefer horseback riding and hunting." He's still a boy, so he likes more exciting activities.

"It's a pity we have to leave in a couple of days, otherwise we would go hunting. Charles, there are some things we need to learn. In a few years, when you're older, you'll have places to play."

"I will grow up as soon as possible."

"......"

Charles and Richard left before four o'clock; two hours together was not a short time.

"He, I hope to see you often in the future, and we can play together when I grow up."

Me too.

"Goodbye, He. I'm sorry, I have something to attend to. See you next time."

"Rick, see you again sometime."

Martha watched the departing group, then turned to He Yuzhu with a smile, "I didn't expect you and Charles to be so close. He spoke to you so casually, without any deliberate formality, which is quite rare."

"Really? In the East, we do call it 'first impression,' which is extremely important. It almost determines your lifelong impression of someone. It's a very subtle feeling, and it doesn't discriminate against anyone."

What about me?

"Of course there's a connection. How could we be together if we weren't destined to be? In our area, we believe it takes a hundred years of cultivation to share a boat ride and a thousand years to share a pillow. It's all about fate."

"I know that. It's a bit superstitious, but that makes it even more interesting!"

"The connections between people are strange. Some are good, and some involve wanting to kill each other on the first meeting. I don't understand it either. How do you plan to arrange it?"

"Go back first, I'm not interested in golf."

Three days later, He Yuzhu and Masha flew to Kuala Lumpur and then flew to Hong Kong.

"If you want to do business here, they're about to become independent and form their own country. Let's wait and see in a few years. We don't know what will happen in the future."

Richard and Charles have already invested, and their teams are looking for suitable car brands; they may have to create their own motorcycle brand.

"They have people to do it, I'll give you both technologies when I get back, you can decide whether to ship by air or sea."

"I'll be staying in the port city for ten days, so spend more time with me."

"It's no big deal!"

This is no small matter. Masha during the day and Qin Huairu at night, the results are excellent, they are outstanding plumbers.

But why is my back so weak? It's holding me back a bit, and I almost have to hold onto the wall to walk. Am I getting old?

Six times! My back is killing me!

Eleven days later, Martha left, carrying a considerable amount of both sets of technical data. She took the most crucial parts with her, while the rest were transported mostly by sea, with little air freight.

This time, He Yuzhu also saw the light and realized that Niu Niu was indeed making money here, and he didn't care about anything else if he didn't have money or connections.

A piece of land of more than one square kilometer, plus a large machinery company, costs only five million Hong Kong dollars.

The land in Causeway Bay that I acquired is small, and the price, including all the industrial land, is HK$64 million. It's just land, and there are no factories in it yet.

No comparison!

The western district will also be a good place in the future. Although the factory is closest to the westernmost part, the property prices here will be the highest in the city.

If we consider the central and western districts together, the price per square meter can reach over 200,000 yuan. If planned well, it could be a lucrative area.

Central and Western District: The administrative, financial and commercial core of Hong Kong, concentrating the CBD areas such as Central and Admiralty, boasting the most Grade A office buildings in Hong Kong (reaching 62,000 square meters in 2024), and is a hub for international corporate headquarters, financial institutions and high-end retail.

Causeway Bay: Primarily a commercial, entertainment, and tourism hub, it is one of Hong Kong Island's major shopping centers and is known as "Eat in Causeway Bay," boasting a large number of department stores, restaurants, and entertainment facilities.

The two places have clearly different futures, so Zhao Youcai needs to plan them well to avoid chaos and disorder.

"Mr. He, this is the site of the 'Ries' Machinery Company. You've acquired it; it will be a treasure trove in the future."

"Those powerful people have quietly divided up everything left by that family, including the funds in the bank, the land and factories sold, and Martha got them. From now on, it's ours."

"Hahaha, He Sheng really has a way with women; the 'handsome man trap' should definitely have a place among the Thirty-Six Stratagems."

"I'm really struggling. Didn't you see I had to lean on the wall to walk the other day?"

"Keep it up, Mr. He! Practice more! There are plenty of good women out there. I believe in you!"

"Go further away."

Having acquired another prime piece of land, Zhao Youcai was quite pleased. He discussed some company matters before leaving.

Some things are still troublesome!

The factory attracted attention because of its large workforce. Fortunately, the whole village was working there, and with the clan elders keeping things under control, and the factory's good benefits, some people couldn't find a loophole, and the matter didn't escalate.

We must take precautions in advance!

He summoned Kuang Biao and said, "There are nine of them in total. Are you all keeping an eye on them?"

"Keep an eye on them? I'll tell Youcai about their problems."

"They're all in the former Jardine Matheson factory. You weren't caught spying on them, were you?"

"No."

Are the other employees in the factory emotionally stable?

"Our wages and benefits are the best among all factories, so they have no excuse to cause trouble, and they are considered outsiders."

In Yuen Long, Tsz Wan Shan doesn't get any lively atmosphere; everyone there is an acquaintance, so who are they?

Now they're all heading to Dapu, where the factory was bought and the inhabitants are locals. Aside from a few workers with ulterior motives, nobody pays them any attention.

Are there still workers wanting to get involved?

"There are eleven people, all of whom are, as far as I know, either lazy workers or short, hunchbacked men with criminal records; they are not regular workers."

"I think so too. If I create a few accidents, I'll arrange for a few to be transferred away, and the remaining ones won't cause any trouble." He Yuzhu didn't intend to get involved; having people on both sides would only create more trouble.
