Outside the Huo's Manor, a convoy slowly drove over.
Leading the pack was a Rolls-Royce, the car of Hong Kong Island's newly crowned richest man, Shen Dong.
It is now the fourth day after the competition.
At the invitation of the Huo family, Shen Dong brought Li Xinxin to visit the Huo family manor.
Among the four girls, Li Xinxin is the housewife, which was decided by Shen Dong early on.
Therefore, scenes like this must be attended by Li Xinxin.
Even if she couldn't come because of other things, Shen Dong would not bring the other three women to participate.
No rules no standards.
For the sake of the stability of the harem, the necessary rules must be established to avoid future troubles within the family.
Old man Huo Yingdong personally led his three sons to greet him, giving Shen Dong enough face.
After getting out of the car, Shen Dong quickly walked up to Huo Yingdong, stretched out his hand, and said, "Mr. Huo, why did you come out? Isn't this shortening my life?"
Shen Dong has deep respect for Huo Yingdong, the most famous patriotic businessman of his time.
In the battle with the Lighthouse Country, Huo Yingdong risked his life to smuggle medicines for the Xia Country’s army, saving countless soldiers’ lives.
If he were in Mr. Huo's shoes, Shen Dong would definitely not be able to be as selfless as Mr. Huo.
Huo Yingdong was in high spirits. He shook Shen Dong's hand very forcefully and said, "I have to welcome you, Mr. Shen. I would like to introduce you to him."
Shen Dong looked at Huo Yingdong's three sons and said with a smile, "I have met Mr. Huo Zhenbei. Although this is the first time I have met Mr. Huo Zhennan and Mr. Huo Zhenxi, I have seen them in newspapers many times. Even if I see them on the street, I can recognize them."
Huo Zhenbei said: "Mr. Shen, we meet again. My father has mentioned many times about the last land purchase, and I must thank you very much."
Shen Dong said: "I just did it casually, you don't need to take it to heart. Xinxin, come and pay a visit to Mr. Huo."
Li Xinxin bowed to Huo Yingdong and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Huo, my name is Li Xinxin."
Huo Yingdong looked at Li Xinxin and praised: "Mr. Shen is so lucky to be favored by Miss Li."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "I think so too."
Li Xinxin quickly said, "Mr. Huo, thank you for the compliment."
Huo Yingdong said, "That's not an exaggeration at all. The charity foundation you set up in Hong Kong Island has helped many orphans. I heard that the charity foundation in the mainland has also started operating. The 200 million donations every year are used to build Hope Primary Schools. It is really a great achievement."
Li Xinxin said: "We do these things just to seek peace of mind. Compared with you, it is really far behind."
Just from these few words, Shen Dong could feel that after two or three years of experience, Li Xinxin had transformed from an ordinary teacher into an excellent and virtuous wife.
The two followed Huo Yingdong into the living room.
Huo Zhenbei's wife personally served a cup of tea to Shen Dong and Li Xinxin.
Shen Dong thanked him, and seeing that the children of the Huo family were all sitting upright on their chairs, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so he said to Huo Yingdong: "Mr. Huo, I come from a low-income family and don't know the etiquette of the wealthy. This time I came here mainly to chat with you, and we don't need to be too particular."
Huo Yingdong was a man of great character. He immediately understood what Shen Dong meant and said with a smile, "You are an orphan, and I am a sailor. We are both the same. All right, all of you can go down. I will chat with Mr. Shen for a while."
"Yes."
Everyone agreed and left.
Only the eldest son, Peter Ho, stayed.
Obviously, Huo Yingdong wanted to tell everyone that the future heir of the Huo family is Huo Zhenbei.
Huo Yingdong asked: "Mr. Shen, have you met the old man in Yandu?"
Shen Dong knew that Huo Yingdong was someone who could directly reach the ears of the emperor, so he did not hide it and said, "I have seen him."
Huo Yingdong said: "It seems that the old man approves of you very much."
Shen Dong smiled bitterly and said, "He really approves. He approved a loan of 100 billion Xia Yuan for me, to be repaid in U.S. dollars, 3 billion U.S. dollars per year, to be repaid in five years. Mr. Huo, next time you see the old man, please tell him that there is an idiot in Hong Kong who was cheated by him."
Chapter 515 Visiting the Huo Family
"Ha ha ha ha"
Huo Yingdong laughed and said, "You should be happy. There are only two businessmen in Hong Kong who are qualified to be cheated by him. One is you and the other is me."
Shen Dong said: "Now that you say that, I feel quite comfortable."
Huo Yingdong sighed and said, "It's difficult for the old man. Such a big country is so poor. As the helmsman, you can imagine how much difficulty and pressure he will face."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "This is also the reason why I took the initiative to jump into the pit."
Huo Yingdong asked: "Mr. Shen, what do you think..."
Shen Dong interrupted him and said, "Mr. Huo, please don't call me Mr., just call me by my name, it sounds more comfortable."
Huo Yingdong said, "Okay, then I'll call you Adong. Your large-scale investment in the inland areas has made the Eagle Sauce government very unhappy. The last Black Hawk attack helicopter incident was obviously caused by them. You'd better be more careful in the future."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Huo for your concern. I have decided that Tengfei Group will not be listed before Hong Kong returns to China. The Eagle Sauce guys want to attack me in the financial market, but that is impossible. The Hong Kong government is divided into three factions, which check and balance each other. With the help of the mainland faction, I am not afraid of them finding fault. Therefore, the Eagle Sauce guys can only plot some intrigues against me in secret. Haha, I am not bragging, but in terms of despicableness, I can be their ancestor."
Li Xinxin touched him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about."
Huo Yingdong said, "Ms. Li, it's great that Adong is proficient in these methods. Back then, our Huo family was hindered from developing by the despicable tricks of the Eagle Sauce Man, which caused the Huo Group to stagnate in recent years. Now with the care of the Inland, we can regroup and enter the real estate industry again. Adong, I have a plan that needs your support."
Shen Dong asked: "What plan?"
Huo Yingdong looked at Shen Dong with burning eyes and said, "I want to establish the Xiaguo Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong Island and invite you, the four major families and major companies in Hong Kong Island to join."
Shen Dong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Mr. Huo, are you sure Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoshan, and Guo Shengli will join?"
Huo Yingdong asked: "Do they have any other choice?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "You are forcing them to choose sides."
Huo Yingdong said in a deep voice: "The relationship between the four major families and the Eagle Sauce Consortium has always been unclear. I want to use the Xiaguo Chamber of Commerce to test their intentions, so that the inland government can see clearly the ambitious people hidden in the Hong Kong business community."
Shen Dong knew that Huo Yingdong, who had kept a low profile for twenty years, dared to do this, and he must have received support from the mainland.
Otherwise, with the Huo family's current strength, it would be impossible to accomplish this.
Li Chaoren and the others must also know the meaning behind the Xiaguo Chamber of Commerce.
At that time, those who disagree will be offended by the inland government, and those who agree will be offended by the Eagle Sauce people. The four major families and those fence-sitter groups will immediately be caught in a dilemma.
Shen Dong didn't care about it. His relationship with the Eagle Sauce Group was already as bad as it could be, so it didn't matter whether he offended them or not.
"Mr. Huo, are you being too hasty? What are people in the inland saying?" Shen Dong asked tentatively.
Huo Yingdong said: "I have sent a letter to Yandu about the establishment of the Xiaguo Chamber of Commerce. We will know what they say tomorrow. If the inland government agrees, I hope you can be the first merchant to join the association."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "No problem."
Huo Yingdong said happily: "That's great. With the support of you, the richest man in Hong Kong, I feel completely relieved."
Shen Dong said: "Mr. Huo, you think too highly of me."
Huo Yingdong said: "Anyone who looks down on you is a fool. Every operation you make in the business world is a classic. Your extraordinary vision and foresight have made you a great success in the stock market. Adong, I really want to know how you were able to accurately predict the stock market crash in the Lighthouse Country?"
Shen Dong said: "My macro analysis of finance plus a little bit of luck made me earn a lot of money."
Huo Yingdong asked: "What about the gold futures war?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "That time it was purely a matter of courage. When gold rose to that level, everyone knew that it would definitely plummet in the future, but we didn't know when it would happen and how much it would fall. At that time, I had sufficient funds. As long as gold did not rise to 2,000 US dollars, my position would be safe, so I would have no problem waiting for two or three years. Haha, you said that it was a sure win, so why shouldn't I do it?"
Huo Yingdong gave a thumbs up and said, "Great. But not everyone has your courage. Zhenbei also shorted gold before, but unfortunately he sold it at $750, losing more than $1 billion."
Shen Dong said: "Mr. Huo's approach is the safest, and I am a little too eager for quick success."
Huo Yingdong asked: "Adong, where do you think the next opportunity to make money is?"
Shen Dong said without hesitation: "It must be in Japan."
Huo Yingdong was stunned and said, "It seems that you have no plans for Japan?"
Shen Dong was also stunned and said, "Mr. Huo, you misunderstood. I meant that the Japanese economy is about to collapse."
Huo Yingdong said: "Japan is already the world's second largest economy. According to the current development momentum, some people predict that Japan will replace the Lighthouse Country in five years. I heard that many wealthy people in Hong Kong have invested their money in the Japanese stock market and made a lot of money. Why don't you think it's good?"
Huo Zhenbei, who was standing by, was very concerned about this question and immediately pricked up his ears.
He has invested a total of 1.2 billion US dollars in the Japanese stock market, and has made a huge profit of 1.5 billion US dollars so far.
Huo Yingdong asked him to lock in the money, but Huo Zhenbei felt that the Japanese economy still had great potential and that he would be able to make more money if he waited for a while.
This was the first time that the father and son had a disagreement on an issue.
Huo Zhenbei really wanted to hear Shen Dong's opinion.
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Huo, you just said that Japan will replace the Lighthouse Country in five years. If you were the boss of the Lighthouse Country, would you allow this to happen?"
Seeing the Huo family father and son lost in thought, Shen Dong continued: "Throughout world history, when an emerging power has the ability to challenge the rules and order established by the established power, war is bound to break out between the two. Japan is a country that has been garrisoned by the Lighthouse Country for a long time, and its territorial sovereignty is not complete. How can it be qualified to challenge the Lighthouse Country? Just wait and see, in as short as half a year or as long as two years, the Lighthouse Country will definitely launch an economic war against Japan. I boldly predict that this war is likely to completely defeat Japan and cause its entire economy to collapse. At least it will not be able to turn things around in the next twenty years."
After hearing Shen Dong's prediction, Huo Yingdong and Huo Zhenbei frowned.
In recent years, the business circles in Hong Kong have been praising the speed of Japan's economic development, and the Fok family father and son have almost got calluses on their ears from hearing it.
It was the first time for the two of them to hear someone look at the future of Japan's economy from this perspective.
However, I have to admit that what Shen Dong said was very logical.
Chapter 516 Hai Yuan was hijacked
Huo Yingdong pondered for a long time and asked, "Adong, would you short the Japanese stock market?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Not only the stock market, I also plan to short the Japanese yen. I'll see when exactly. After all, the international situation is ever-changing, and no one knows what will happen next. The only thing I can be sure of is that the Lighthouse Country will definitely suppress Japan and will never give it a chance to challenge itself. Mr. Huo, I have a suggestion for you, let someone keep an eye on Wall Street."
Huo Yingdong's eyes lit up and he said, "Good idea."
Shen Dong said: "Although Wall Street is a group of bastards who eat people without leaving any bones, we have to admit that their ability in finance is indeed very awesome. According to their usual nature, they will definitely release a lot of good news before attacking Japan, so that the stock market will soar and investors will go crazy. When it reaches the highest point, they will swallow up most of the short-selling financial institutions and then smash it down. By then, Japan's decades of accumulated wealth will be swept away by them. If you are interested, you can go down and play. Eating the dividends of the little devils can also be regarded as venting the anger of the older generation who sacrificed during the War of Resistance."
Huo Zhenbei, who had been silent the whole time, could not help but ask, "Mr. Shen, are you so confident in your prediction?"
Shen Dong said: "Of course. No matter what industry a person is in, self-confidence is a must. And my greatest advantage is self-confidence."
Huo Yingdong laughed and said, "A Dong, chatting with you seems to have brought me back to the days when I started my business in Hong Kong Island decades ago. At that time, I was full of confidence, just like you. Even if I encountered the biggest difficulties, I believed that I could solve them. Unfortunately, I am old now and I don't have that drive anymore."
Shen Dong said: "As you get older, you should be stronger. You should not lose your ambition even when you are old. As you get poorer, you should be more resolute. Mr. Huo, it is never your physical age that affects a person, but your mental age. As long as you think you can do it, then you can do it. Age is nothing."
Huo Yingdong slapped his thigh hard and said, "Well said. After so many years of silence, it's time for our Huo family to show up."
The lunch banquet lasted for three hours.
Shen Dong and Huo Yingdong talked a lot at the dinner table and they had a very pleasant conversation.
Especially in terms of attitude towards the inland, there is a surprising consistency.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Dong saw that Huo Yingdong was a little tired, so he took Li Xinxin and said goodbye.
Looking at the slowly departing convoy, Huo Yingdong laughed and said, "I never thought that I would be able to make a friend even though I am older than I used to be. I am not alone in my path."
Huo Zhenbei said: "Dad, this is the first time I see you so happy in all these years. What do you think of Mr. Shen?"
Huo Yingdong thought for a moment and said, "A dragon among men is rare in that he still has a pure heart. With his ability and vision, I believe he will have a place in this world."
Huo Zhenbei was greatly shocked. It was the first time he heard Huo Yingdong praise a young man like that.
After leaving the Huo family, Shen Dong received a call from Haitang.
"What? Haiyuan is gone? What happened?"
Shen Dong's face changed and he asked in a deep voice.
Haitang said, "An hour ago, I received a call from the school saying that Haiyuan fainted during physical education class and was rushed to the hospital. But before I arrived at the hospital, the school called me again and said that the school bus was hijacked by a group of people on the way. The driver and two teachers were knocked unconscious, and Haiyuan was missing."
Shen Dong frowned and said, "Where are you? I'll be there right away."
Haitang said, "I'm on my way to the Sar hospital. The driver has woken up, and I want to ask him a few questions to see if I can find any clues."
Calm enough!
Shen Dong couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart.
After all, he was the former leader of the Donghu Gang, so he wasn't at all panicked when encountering problems.
If it were Li Xinxin or Qiu Ti, they would have probably cried their eyes out.
"We'll see you at the Sal Hospital."
Twenty minutes later, Shen Dong, Li Xinxin and Haitang walked into a ward.
"Mr. Zhu, you said that you vaguely heard Japanese, right?" Shen Dong asked.
