In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 276 Guo Henian's Commission
After returning to the Shi Xundao Villa, Lin Haoran specially arranged for the kitchen to purchase more ingredients to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Around six o'clock in the evening, Lin Haoran finally met Guo Henian's family.

They don't live far away, so it's very convenient for them to come here.

Lin Haoran stood outside the villa, greeting them with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Guo, long time no see."

"Hello, Mrs. Guo."

"Ms. Guo, you are dressed so beautifully today!"

……

Lin Haoran shook hands with them one by one and after a few words of greeting, he invited them into the villa.

Guo Henian stood in the lobby on the first floor, took a quick look around the house, and said with a smile, "Haoran, your decoration is really simple."

"I don't pay much attention to these things. There's no need to spend too much time on decoration. What's more, for me, I might move to another place in a year or two." Lin Haoran replied with a smile.

Although his place is not luxuriously decorated, it is definitely not simple either.

It’s just that his original design was mainly modern and simple style.

Because of this, the decoration was completed in just two months.

"That's true. With your current wealth, you can live anywhere you want. I'm even planning to buy a villa in Deep Water Bay." Guo Henian also laughed.

Deep Water Bay is home to many Chinese tycoons, such as Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng, etc., almost all of whom live there.

Guo Henian wanted to establish good relationships with these local wealthy people in Hong Kong, so it was obvious that moving there would be a good fit.

On the contrary, the area around the mountaintop villas is still mainly occupied by wealthy foreigners.

Of course, as foreigners gradually withdrew from Hong Kong due to their lack of confidence in Hong Kong and returned to Britain or to Australia, the United States, Singapore and other places, the villas became empty once they left.

Because of this, in the future, mountaintop villas and even mid-mountain villas will gradually be dominated by wealthy Chinese.

"It would be good for Uncle Guo to move to the Deep Water Bay villa area and continue to be my neighbor. Although I seldom go back to live there, I will go back at least once or twice a month. The atmosphere of wealthy Chinese businessmen is indeed stronger there." Lin Haoran said in agreement.

"I bought the villa mainly for investment. I didn't just want to buy one, I was planning to buy several. There will definitely be more and more wealthy people in Hong Kong, and villas are a scarce resource.

I am particularly optimistic about the Mid-Levels Villa Area, the Hilltop Villa Area, the Deep Water Bay Villa Area, and the Repulse Bay Villa Area. I think if you have money, you can buy a few more villas to stockpile and there is no need to worry about future appreciation.

Although I know that many foreigners and even Chinese are not optimistic about Hong Kong's future due to political reasons, I am just the opposite of them. I believe that Hong Kong's future is very promising.

With a huge market of over one billion people, Hong Kong will surely have a brighter future as long as the mainland can develop. Moreover, the mainland now uses Hong Kong as a transit point to import and export goods. The prosperity here is largely due to the mainland. I went to Beijing last month and met with the old man. He gave me great confidence!" Guo Henian seemed to be reminding Lin Haoran.

His trip to the mainland must have given him great confidence. He could speak so frankly to Lin Haoran, which showed that he treated his junior Lin Haoran quite well.

"Uncle Guo, I am definitely confident about Hong Kong's future, but I also have my own opinion. I think the current development of Hong Kong's real estate industry is a bit blind and exaggerated.

Various financial groups have been increasing their investment in real estate. In addition, banks have been lowering their lending requirements to push up housing prices. In addition, wealthy people from Southeast Asia and other places have entered the Hong Kong market. All of this has caused the growth rate of real estate prices in Hong Kong to deviate from the normal development speed, and it will sooner or later face a crisis.

But after the crisis, it will continue to rise, just like the stock market, where there is a bull market there must be a bear market, Uncle Guo, you should also be mentally prepared. Of course, I just said it casually, Uncle Guo has much more experience than me, and he will definitely have his own judgment. "Lin Haoran laughed.

There was nothing wrong with him saying these words in a speculative way. As for whether Guo Henian believed it or not, that was Guo Henian's business and had nothing to do with him.

It might be inappropriate to say this as a junior, but Lin Haoran said it anyway, mainly because the Guo family did provide considerable help to his company during this period. Regardless of whether the other party had any purpose, Lin Haoran appreciated it, so he made a special reminder.

Lin Haoran and Guo Henian were chatting, and Guo Xiaohan was listening quietly on the side. Today, she was dressed very ladylike and beautiful, giving off the feeling of a lady from a noble family.

Mrs. Guo was sitting on the sofa coaxing her baby.

"Master, distinguished guests, the food is ready." At this time, the servant of the family came over and bent down to remind.

"Uncle Guo, Miss Guo, let's go over and have dinner first. After dinner, we'll go to the study and talk." Lin Haoran stood up and said with a smile.

To this day, he still doesn't know the purpose of Guo Henian's visit.

But Lin Haoran also knew that the other party must have some purpose and it was impossible for him to come and visit for no reason.

Just like himself, whether he went to Bao Yugang's house or visited Governor Murray MacLehose, he went there with a purpose. If nothing happened, even if he visited, he would not know what to talk about, and it would not be possible to talk for too long.

"Okay, sorry to bother you today." Guo Henian said cheerfully.

"Uncle Guo, if you want to come, feel free to come over. It's no bother at all. Please." Lin Haoran made a gesture of invitation.

Several people moved from the living room to the dining room.

More than a dozen sumptuous dishes have been prepared on the dining table, mainly local Hong Kong specialties.

Guo Henian is a native Malaysian Chinese. His father is a Hokkien, so he should be accustomed to eating Hong Kong cuisine.

The last time he went to Lin's father's house, Lin Wanan also prepared local Hong Kong dishes. Lin Haoran noticed at that time that Guo Henian and Guo Xiaohan both ate with gusto.

"There aren't many dishes. Don't be dissatisfied. Uncle Guo, Mrs. Guo, Miss Guo, please take a seat." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"There are only a few of us, and we have prepared so many dishes. It's a bit of a waste. How can there be no more dishes?" Guo Henian laughed.

"Uncle Guo, would you like to drink?" Lin Haoran asked.

"Forget it. I usually have to drink when I socialize. When I come to your place, there is no need to drink. So I won't drink if I can." Guo Henian shook his head and said.

"It seems that Uncle Guo also hates socializing. My father is like this. He had too many social engagements, which made him unwell. Now he has retired early and his health has recovered. What Uncle Guo said is right!" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

More than half an hour later, dinner ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

After dinner, Lin Haoran invited them into the study to talk.

Mrs. Guo did not go into the study because she had to take care of her baby, and stayed in the living room watching TV.

In the end, Guo Henian and Guo Xiaohan followed Lin Haoran into the study.

As the host, Lin Haoran made tea for them.

Before Guo Henian's family came over, Lin Haoran asked the servants to clean the study and wash all the tea sets.

Normally he would not make tea by himself at home, so this set of tea set was rarely used.

After brewing the tea and pouring a cup of hot tea for Guo Henian and Guo Xiaohan respectively, Lin Haoran got straight to the point and said, "As the saying goes, no one comes to visit you for no reason. I guess Uncle Guo must have something to discuss with me this time, right?"

"Can't I just come visit you if there's nothing wrong?" Guo Henian laughed.

"That's not the case, but I think Uncle Guo must have a purpose for coming here." Lin Haoran said firmly.

"I really can't hide it from you. Haha. I came here this time because I really have something to ask you. You should go to England tomorrow, right?" Guo Henian said with a smile.

"Yes, Uncle Guo, tomorrow I will follow Hong Kong's business seniors to the UK for a week-long visit." Although he was not sure why Guo Henian brought up this matter, Lin Haoran still nodded and said.

It is normal for Guo Henian to know about this kind of thing.

Unfortunately, Guo Henian is not a native of Hong Kong. Given the Guo family’s wealth, it may be even more than Li Jiacheng’s today.

After all, the Guo family is the richest family in Malaysia and even in the entire Southeast Asia.

If the Guo family were local businessmen in Hong Kong, they would definitely be invited to participate in this visit to the UK.

"Haoran, this is the case. I would like to ask you to bring Xiaohan with you on this visit. The purpose is to let her gain some experience and broaden her horizons. Xiaohan has shown great talent in the business field. She is an excellent junior in our Guo family and is very worthy of training.

In addition, our Guo family has several cooperative projects underway in the UK. Xiaohan can also inspect and supervise the progress of those projects on behalf of our Guo family. I wonder if this arrangement will cause you any inconvenience?" Guo Henian got straight to the point and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

Lin Haoran turned his gaze to Guo Xiaohan who was sitting diagonally opposite him. Their eyes met, and Guo Xiaohan's face gradually blushed, then she lowered her head shyly.

He retracted his gaze and said to Guo Henian with a smile: "Uncle Guo, this is a small matter, of course it's no problem. Miss Guo can gather with me at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will go to the UK with her in person.

If everything goes well, we will have the opportunity to meet with British government officials and even the Queen after arriving in the UK, and Ms. Guo can participate as my assistant. I just have to ask Ms. Guo to play this role temporarily. "

"Mr. Lin, I have been working as my uncle's assistant during my stay in Hong Kong. I believe I can do this job and will not cause any trouble for Mr. Lin!" Unexpectedly, Guo Xiaohan raised his head and said confidently to Lin Haoran.

Guo Henian first looked at Lin Haoran, then turned to look at his niece, a complicated smile appearing on his face.
