Chapter 666 0664 [The Sun Is Like Blood! 】
Nathan Road.
St Mary's Royal Hospital.
Charles, who was wounded by the gunshot wound, was lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen mask over his mouth and an electrocardiogram machine next to him.
He is seriously injured and has not passed the critical period at this time.
Because he just came to Hong Kong to take office, his family members are still in London, and there is no one else except the old butler beside him.
The door opened, and the old butler bowed to invite the distinguished guests to enter the ward.
The man was wearing a suit, holding a civility stick, and wearing a top hat.
"Thank you!" The man nodded lightly, "I want to stay alone with Mr. Charles for a while, don't you mind?"
"Of course I don't mind! Mr. Li, you are Charles's best friend!" After the old butler finished speaking, he turned around and went out, closing the door again.
Seeing the old housekeeper go out, the man turned around and took off his hat with one hand, revealing a domineering Chinese character face!
If anyone was present, he would be able to recognize this person. He is the helm of the famous Li family in Xiangjiang --- Li Zhaotian!
Li Zhaotian went to the United States to investigate the "Disneyland" that Shi Zhijian called.
In Li Zhaotian's opinion, this Disneyland is really amazing! The theme idea, and the design of the cartoon world are very attractive!
If Disney can be introduced from the United States to Hong Kong, then Disney, which is so profitable, will be the unique entertainment kingdom in Asia!
Li Zhaotian has great ambitions!
He is different from Li Jiacheng.
Li Jiacheng could see that what Shi Zhijian said about Disney was a money-sucking trap!
Although making a lot of money, the initial investment is huge, and the time period is relatively long. If there is no strong capital to support it, the result will only be on the street!
But Li Zhaotian is different. While he sees the trap, he also sees a huge business opportunity.
So after Li Zhaotian finished his investigation in the United States, he made a bold decision——
He wants to engage in Disney in Hong Kong!
So Li Zhaotian took the plane back to Hong Kong and began to contact the major banks in Hong Kong and the British Hong Kong government.
Of course, Li Zhaotian will not pay for it himself, he will borrow money from the bank in the name of the government, and carry out this project in the name of the government.
The reason why Li Zhaotian is so confident is because he knows Charles!
...
Speaking of the friendship between Li Zhaotian and Charles, it can be traced back to the time when Li Zhaotian was studying in London, England.
At that time, Li Zhaotian was a high-spirited young man who met a lot of blond and blue-eyed ghosts in school, including this Charles.
Charles has always discriminated against Hong Kong people, thinking that Hong Kong is a colony of their British Empire, and Hong Kong people should be enslaved by British nobles like them!
Li Zhaotian therefore had a fight with Charles in the school gymnasium.
The name of the two fights is "boxing contest".
In the end, Li Zhaotian broke the bridge of Charles' nose.
Charles broke Li Zhaotian's ribs.
Do not know each other!
Charles, a ghost, actually fell in love with Li Zhaotian, a tough guy.
Li Zhaotian also intends to make friends with this serious British nobleman.
After coming and going, the two became friends.
Drink, smoke, pick up girls!
It was an age of indulgence!
Every time late at night, when they were drunk, they would lie on the grass of Cambridge University, look at the stars in the sky with their pillows on their heads, and tell each other their ideals.
Charles' ideal is to restore the glory of their Charles family and become an excellent official of the British Empire. It is best to go to Hong Kong and take charge of the Hong Kong police!
Li Zhaotian's ideal is to further expand the Li family! Especially to wash away the black history of Lijia's previous fortune by relying on crows!
Li Zhaotian wants to be the number one Xiangjiang tycoon!
...
Now, Li Zhaotian is in charge of the Li family, and he is well-known in Hong Kong. He is still a few steps away from the number one tycoon, so he is not reconciled!
This time we must play a big one!
And Hong Kong Disneyland is his promotion ladder!
According to Lizhaotian’s plan, as long as he has the help and recommendation of Charles, he can establish a relationship with the top leaders of the British Hong Kong government, and then win a large piece of land, and then get money from the bank for development.
You must know that before 1941, Hong Kong was small in size and had few natural resources and mineral deposits, so it was used by the British as a commercial port and trade entrepot. In the nearly 100 years before World War II, British Land Corporation was also the most important player in the Hong Kong land market.
On the basis of acknowledging some of the private land that had already obtained title deeds from the Qing Dynasty, most of the land in Hong Kong belonged to the British royal family (called official land), and the British Hong Kong authorities were big real estate developers who managed the land for the royal family.
In order to ensure control over the land, the British Hong Kong authorities insisted on two principles: only renting and not selling and public auction of land. The so-called land refers to the right to use the most surface layer of the land. When auctioning land, the Hong Kong and British authorities will mark a reserve price to ensure the minimum auction proceeds. For privately funded land reclamation, the government should also share proportionately, and private individuals only get one-third.
Before World War II, Hong Kong’s economy had no advantage compared with its surrounding areas, but after World War II, with the influx of a large number of people and wealth, the supply of land in Hong Kong was in short supply, and the British Hong Kong authorities promoted the three highs of “high land prices, high property prices, and high rents” According to the policy, Hong Kong housing prices have far exceeded the growth rate of per capita income and have risen sharply. Up to now, real estate-related income has accounted for nearly half of the government's total fiscal revenue, which is called an irreplaceable cash cow.
It can be said that the largest Chinese family in Hong Kong will basically rely on real estate to make a fortune and grow in the future!
There are three major factions of Hong Kong businessmen in this era.
One is the Chizi Danxin faction headed by Dong Chuanwang, Huo Daxie and others. Their hearts are inland and they have done a lot for the country!
These people have all been sanctioned by the Hong Kong British government with various means, such as land purchase and development, there are many restrictions. As a result, Mr. Huo's real estate industry in the future will be more and more difficult, and finally he will be overtaken by Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji and others!
The other is the pro-British faction dominated by Li Shihe. Relying on their relationship with the British Hong Kong government, they can easily obtain land development rights.
Finally, there are the original Guilo faction in Hong Kong, including the Kadoorie family, the Keswick family, the Swire family and so on.
Compared with the Chinese in Hong Kong, they have unique conditions. They can directly participate in the most lucrative financial projects of the British Hong Kong government, as well as hydropower projects, so they disdain the sale of real estate.
It is precisely because of this that Li Zhaotian is going to play the next big game this time, and ask Charles to help him contact the government and help him clear the obstacles at the same time!
And that obstacle is - Shi Zhijian!
For Li Zhaotian, Shi Zhijian is too smart, he can think of moving Disney in the United States to Hong Kong, this kind of whimsical idea is beyond his imagination!
Also, this young man started from nothing in just two or three years and became a new tycoon. This speed of promotion is really terrifying!
The most important thing is that Shi Zhijian and the Xu family, the Huo family are too close, and they have touched many interests of their family in the commercial field, such as the last Tsuen Wan development plan, and Li Jiacheng's waterworks construction plan and so on!
Li Zhaotian had a hunch that sooner or later Shi Zhijian would become his rival!
He won't do things like raising tigers!
What he likes to do most is to uproot the other party while he is still very young!
Unfortunately, this time it fell short again!
Charles not only failed to get rid of Shi Zhijian and Lei Luo, he almost lost his life in it!
Now Li Zhaotian's Disney plan will also be shelved!
...
Looking at Charles who was having difficulty breathing on the hospital bed, Li Zhaotian walked over slowly, shook Charles' hand, looked at him and said, "I know you don't like this! You might as well die like a useless person! Don't worry, I will help you!"
While speaking, Charles gently took off Charles' oxygen mask.
A distorted and uncomfortable expression appeared on Charles' face, and the electrocardiograph quickly drew a curve, and gradually, it became a straight line!
Only then did Li Zhaotian help Charles put on the oxygen mask again, "Go all the way! Leave the rest to me!"
After Li Zhaotian finished speaking, he turned around and put on his hat again, and walked out of the ward with a civilized stick in his hand!
Outside,
The sun is like blood!
Thanks to the book friends for their concern, the right eye was diagnosed as subretinal inflammatory hemorrhage. Alas, I will watch less art films with two or three actors in the future, they are very popular!
The two updates owed yesterday will be made up later, and finally thank you everyone!
