Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 190, Loss and Party
In the early morning hours in Osaka, an earthquake of unknown magnitude suddenly occurred.

Zhao Mancang, who was in a temporary safe house in the suburbs, watched helplessly as his safe house was shattered and torn apart by an unknown force.

There were many people shouting in fear all around. The screams exceeding 60 decibels meant that the person was still alive.

On the contrary, those who are taken away unknowingly in their sleep are the most miserable.

Earthquakes are nature's punishment on mankind. They are unstoppable and can only be avoided as much as possible.

"help me!"

Just when Zhao Mancang was still in shock, a cry for help came from not far away. A woman screamed in standard Mandarin, which made Zhao Mancang rush forward to save people without thinking.

There was a crack in the ground, and a crumbling stone lay on the broken grass. One end of the stone was embedded in the soil, and the other end was a woman's hand with white nails, obviously holding it very tightly.

Zhao Mancang placed his hands on the two women and pulled them up with force, thus rescuing the woman.

During this process, the stone began to loosen due to being touched by the woman's body.

It's very dangerous!

If she had been any slower, the woman would have fallen into the deep crack. Although the crack didn't seem deep, if she fell in, she would have been completely destroyed.

Because at this time the aftershocks of the earthquake are still there, although they are not as strong, but they are still there. Who knows if there will be a big one that will bury people directly.

What's more, if you fall down dozens of meters, even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured. How can you get up at this time?
"thanks, thanks!"

The woman who was rescued hugged Zhao Mancang tightly, kept saying thank you, and her face was full of horror.

This woman was his next-door neighbor, but he had never expected that she was actually a Chinese.

A woman who can speak such fluent Mandarin must have a story, but Zhao Mancang is not interested in this story.

At this time, the neighbors on the other side were also shouting for help. Zhao Mancang did not go to rescue them. Instead, he let go of the woman's hands and looked at the scene in front of him with a frown.

As for the current situation, it is really too tragic.

The safe house was no longer safe and was torn to pieces. This was something Zhao Mancang had never expected.

Previously, he disguised himself as a local of Kimura and bought a temporary safe house here. He thought that even if this place was an earthquake-prone zone, it would not be such a coincidence that he would come across it, right?
But less than half a year later, he really encountered it. This is so unlucky.

"Damn it! Next time I won't come here. I'll go to the Peninsula. They shouldn't be so unlucky there, right?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Mancang did not stay where he was, but turned around and left.

The safe house is just a house. There is nothing in it related to him personally. Even if it is destroyed, it will only result in a small loss of yen.

This amount of Japanese yen is not worth mentioning to Zhao Mancang.

When we arrived at Osaka Airport, we were told that the airport was closed and the flight could not take off temporarily.

Fuck!

Zhao Mancang cursed inwardly, left the airport, went to the beach, made sure there was no one around, parked the car, then went into the sea and dived away.

Zhao Mancang spent most of the day changing to a submarine and then to a seaplane, and landed quietly on Hong Kong Island in the afternoon.

At Deep Water Bay Beach, Zhao Mancang emerged from the sea wearing swimming trunks, then went to a nearby public changing room to change his clothes. Then he went to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the Qifa Building in Central.

The 36th floor of Qifa Building, the headquarters of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily News, has been shrouded in dark clouds recently.

Bruce Chapman, Chen Liangsheng, Fan Chunbao and others were all listless, as if all their energy had been drained away.

"Oh, I don't know when the boss will come back. What will we do if he finds out that all our money has been taken away?"

In the office, Bruce and Chen Liangsheng frowned, not knowing what to do.

Some time ago, Alex Redmayne, the senior inspector of the police force who had not appeared for a long time, appeared in the Qifa Building and asked Bruce and others to immediately contact Nicholas, the boss behind them.

If I can't contact him within three days, don't show up again. From now on, the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily will be his.

But how can Bruce and the others contact Zhao Mancang?
Even when Fang Xiaohui at the front desk asked Xu Wenluo, she still got no results.

Xu Wenluo didn't know where Zhao Mancang had gone.

Perhaps in the eyes of Fang Xiaohui and others, Xu Wenluo and Zhao Mancang have an extraordinary relationship, but only Xu Wenluo herself knows that her relationship with Zhao Mancang is very pure.

She wanted to wait until she grew up and then marry him, but Zhao Mancang's attitude towards her was friendly yet distant. Except for seeing a doctor, he would never have any physical contact with her at other times.

This was especially true after her legs healed.

Even Xu Wenluo couldn't contact Zhao Mancang, let alone anyone else.

So when the three days were up, Alex brought the police over and took away all the money in the finance departments of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily and Ming Pao.

With Alex holding a gun to his head, the financial manager couldn't hold out for more than three seconds and immediately opened the safe.

However, there wasn't much money in the safe.

The remaining money was in the bank, so Alex asked the financial manager to withdraw all the money.

In this way, Alex took away more than one million Hong Kong dollars in cash.

The two companies, Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily, had a total of two newspapers and one magazine. Every time Zhao Mancang came to Hong Kong and Kowloon, he would take away a portion of the profits, transfer the money to his personal bank card, and then buy gold for investment.

Alex was draining the pond to catch all the fish, draining the cash flow of the two companies and taking away all the profits of the past half month.

You should know that the magazine "Women's Health" transfers money from its two branches in New York and Great Britain back to Hong Kong and Kowloon every two weeks.

It just so happened that when Zhao Mancang returned to Hong Kong and Kowloon last time, the money had not been remitted back yet. In addition, he announced the distribution of red envelopes at that time, so a lot of this money was spent.

This resulted in the two companies' working capital reaching HK$1 million when Alex arrived.

Such a huge sum of money surprised Alex.

Sure enough, robbery is the fastest way to make money.

More than one million Hong Kong dollars. He will have to wait for at least a month to get such a huge sum of money.

And because of this incident, he learned that the magazine "Women's Wear" was so profitable?

You should know that in the two months of June and July, the sales of "Women's Wear" exceeded 100,000 copies both in New York and in Great Britain.

Especially in Great Britain, the number reached 133,000 in July, which is undoubtedly a terrifying figure.

Even after deducting the operating costs of the Great Britain branch, the monthly profit exceeded 100,000 pounds. Based on the fixed exchange rate of one pound to sixteen Hong Kong dollars, this is 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars.

In just half a month, the profit reached 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is definitely a terrifying profit.

The monthly profit in New York can reach more than 250,000 US dollars, which is 1.625 million Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

Therefore, with about half a month's worth of profitable foreign exchange checks, the cash flow of the two companies would exceed one million, almost two million.

In this situation, Alex was of course overjoyed.

This is definitely a cash cow.

"Hello, boss. It's great that you're back."

On the 36th floor of Qifa Building, at the front desk of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily News Company, Fang Xiaohui saw Zhao Mancang coming out of the elevator. She opened her mouth in surprise and then stood up in delight.

The noise at the front desk was soon heard by Bruce and others in the office, so they hurried out to greet the big boss Zhao Mancang.

However, their fearful look made Zhao Mancang laugh.

After all, when he was in North America, he had already learned that something had happened in Hong Kong and Kowloon through the negative emotion experience points prompted by the system.

So at this moment, when Zhao Mancang saw Bruce and the others were still here, he actually relaxed.

If even Bruce and the others were not here, the situation would be even worse.

The dark tactics from competitors would give Zhao Mancang a headache. On the contrary, he is not too worried about people like Alex.

After all, people like Alex are just looking for money and power.

"Boss, I'm sorry, we..."

In the meeting room, Bruce and his companions bowed their heads and apologized because they had failed to protect this home.

Zhao Mancang stopped and said:
"This matter has little to do with you. No need to apologize. Just briefly report our losses and whether our newspapers and magazines have been affected."

Soon, Zhao Mancang knew the result.

After confirming that newspapers and magazines were not affected, Zhao Mancang felt much more relieved.

The money he lost was of no consequence to him.

Because anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

After letting Bruce and the others leave, Zhao Mancang picked up the landline phone on the desk and called HSBC CEO Pu Weishi himself.

The latter is going to work!
Although he gave money to Pu Weishi because he needed the other party to help him with a loan so that he could invest in gold, the same situation still applies to the current situation.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, you finally showed up. It's really rare."

Pu Weishi was very surprised when he received a call from Zhao Mancang.

Because Pu Weishi knew exactly what Alex had done some time ago.

Based on Zhao Mancang's many businesses at HSBC, Pu Weishi also paid special attention to the former.

You have to know that it was a US$100 million loan, plus the previous HK$200 million loan, the total was HK$850 million.

In the original history, ten years later, the investment capital put forward by Pao Yue-Kong for the cross-sea tunnel from Causeway Bay to Hung Hom was only over 300 million Hong Kong dollars, that was all.

This shows how huge a sum of money 850 million Hong Kong dollars was in 1959.

With such a business, how could Pu Weishi not pay attention to Zhao Mancang?
At present, Zhao Mancang has invested in very few industries, except for "Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily", "Ming Pao" and "Women's Wear".

If we must count No. 66 Deep Water Bay, it can be said to be one of his assets.

As for the "Xingxing Daily" and "Guanghui Daily", these were businesses that Zhao Mancang deliberately hid, and he did not let outsiders know about it.

Of course, if someone really conducts an in-depth investigation, the truth cannot be concealed for long.

Obviously, Pu Weishi did not investigate too deeply, so he did not know about the two companies, "Xingxing Daily" and "Guanghui Daily".

In addition, there is no sign of the hospital that Zhao Mancang and Senior Inspector Alex mentioned.

"Yes, I'm back"

Zhao Mancang smiled and asked the other party to have dinner with him, and Pu Weishi readily agreed.

There are two reasons why the latter was so straightforward. First, the price of gold has soared a lot in the past half month.

It can be seen that Zhao Mancang has a very good vision. He started investing in gold half a year ago. By mid-to-late August, the price of gold has risen from US$35.19 per ounce to US$36.07 at present.

The increase is not very large, but the amount of investment by Zhao Mancang is huge.

With an investment of HK$850 million and an investment of more than US$130 million in gold, the future profit margin is very considerable.

Second, Alex had done such a thing, and Pu Weishi really wanted to know how Zhao Mancang responded.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Mancang smiled.

After staying in the company for more than half an hour and taking a tour, Zhao Mancang left.

Zhao Mancang arrived at the Wanbang Building in Sheung Wan and stayed there for more than an hour before leaving.

The development of the two companies, Xingxing Daily and Guanghui Daily, was relatively stable and they did not encounter any difficulties.

The only troublesome point is the Sing Tao Daily and Sing Pao. They still hate the Sing Tao Daily and Kwong Fai Daily very much.

Because the latter two newspapers were completely engaged in malicious competition, readers preferred "Xingxing Daily" and "Guanghui Daily" more, which made Hu Wenxian and Mou Yanfang extremely hateful, but helpless.

How readers choose is their own business.

The key point is that Sing Tao Daily and Sing Pao have no way to retaliate so far. The so-called reports and plagiarism lawsuits are not even a tickle for the two companies of Sing Tao Daily, which have a large team of lawyers.

Therefore, Hu Wenxian and Mou Yanfang were extremely angry, but they could only stare blankly.

The sales of their two newspapers have fallen out of the top ten of the Hong Kong and Kowloon newspaper rankings. Among the top ten, four newspapers that only appeared this year, namely, "Sing Sing Daily", "Kwong Fai Daily", "Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily" and "Ming Pao", are very strong.

As for the magazine "Women's Wear" promoted by the "Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily", it is not very popular in Hong Kong and Kowloon. As for its sales in New York and Great Britain, the outside world is unaware of it.

At sunset on August 18, Zhao Mancang came to a private restaurant in the Peninsula Hotel to dine with Pu Weishi and Joseph Grant. There were also several women accompanying them, one of whom was the beautiful bank employee Ning Shujia.

Joseph, that old pervert, always brings Ning Shujia with him whenever he comes to see Zhao Mancang.

It seemed that he wanted to sell Ning Shujia to Zhao Mancang, but the latter refused to accept it.

The meal tonight is just a casual chat to keep in touch with each other.

Just when Pu Weishi thought that was all, Zhao Mancang suddenly proposed to attend the party to be held at the Governor's House the day after tomorrow.

This statement surprised Pu Weishi greatly.

Some time ago, after Zhao Mancang borrowed 100 million US dollars from HSBC, Joseph sent various invitations to Zhao Mancang every now and then.

Joseph was worried that Zhao Mancang would "run away", so he actively acted as the latter's "guide" and led Zhao Mancang to integrate into the upper class society of Hong Kong Island.

Although Zhao Mancang didn't need it, he couldn't resist Joseph's enthusiasm.

Among the invitations recently, the one that is most suitable for Zhao Mancang to attend is the party to be held at the Governor's Palace the day after tomorrow.

But Zhao Mancang had already received the invitation, so he could just go there directly and there was no need to tell Pu Weishi about this.

Unless Zhao Mancang wanted to inform Pu Weishi and hoped that he would attend the party as well.

Only in this way can Zhao Mancang use Pu Weishi to bully others.

Pu Weishi quickly guessed what Zhao Mancang was thinking, smiled slightly, and said there was no problem.

He didn't mind being used by Zhao Mancang, and even hoped that Zhao Mancang would use him more, because only in this way could he get more red envelopes from Zhao Mancang.

Faced with the generous Zhao Mancang, Pu Weishi had no reason to refuse.

So, the purpose of this dinner tonight was achieved.

Ning Shujia looked at Zhao Mancang who walked out of the private room without hesitation, her face full of resentment, but she did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Because Zhao Mancang is a dragon in the sky, a big shot, and she is just a small bank clerk, how dare she have such extravagant hopes?

The next day, Zhao Mancang came out of the private detective's office with a cold smile on his face.

Zhao Mancang had worked with this private detective once before. That time was because of rutile. He asked the other party to help keep an eye on the Middle Eastern businessman. In the end, he found him in Oceania, and then found Moscow, taking away more than 50,000 tons of rutile.

Because of these rutile stones, Zhao Mancang was no longer short of money. After all, rutile stones were really expensive.

Of course, he hasn't sold many until now. After all, only if he successfully sells these rutiles can he make money. Otherwise, they are just ordinary ore.

Rutile ore can only be sold to a rutile refinery near Burbank, Los Angeles; otherwise, no one else will know about it.

As for Walker Company's general manager, Walker Kruglat, he wasn't sure how much he could take. Zhao Mancang's favorite thing was to find more fearless arms dealers like Walker Kruglat, because only they could swallow more rutile.

These people are not afraid of death and have strong connections. When they purchase rutile, they probably act as middlemen and sell it to the Burbank Rutile Refinery to make a small profit from the difference.

Because these arms dealers are absolutely clear about who the real buyers of rutile are.

Unfortunately, Zhao Mancang’s connections were not strong enough, otherwise he wouldn’t have lost the price difference.

Today, Zhao Mancang learned a lot of information about Senior Inspector Alex Redmayne from this private detective.

The latter had used the more than one million Hong Kong dollars he had obtained from the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily last time, as well as his own savings, and some "merits" to successfully surpass the Chief Inspector and be promoted to the youngest Senior Superintendent in the Hong Kong Island Police Force.

The police force in Hong Kong and Kowloon has promotions from Senior Inspector to Chief Inspector, then to Senior Superintendent, Chief Superintendent, Assistant Commissioner of Police, and so on.

There is no need to mention the directors mentioned later. They are already the top leaders among the top police officers, and their number is extremely rare.

On the contrary, it is the position of Senior Superintendent, which is not low, but not particularly high either.

But Alex is only 28 years old, and he has become a senior superintendent at this age. Even if he paid more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars and some "merit", this promotion speed is still very shocking.

Now that he knew about this, Zhao Mancang would certainly not let the other party go.

Because the other party took more than one million Hong Kong dollars from him, which is a huge sum of money.

You know, the "protection fee" that Zhao Mancang promised to the other party was only six figures, at most a little over 100,000.

But now, the other party took things without asking, and brought people and guns to the Qifa Building to rob. Zhao Mancang could not afford such a "protection umbrella".

But now Zhao Mancang couldn't kill the other party in an accident immediately, so he could only take it slowly.

Just like he did to people like Qi Zhengze, he used his medical expertise to make them die slowly in pain.

This is the best form of revenge.

It is better to act early than late, so Zhao Mancang plans to take action tonight.

During the day, Zhao Mancang did not make any moves. He just stayed in the office and worked normally.

In the afternoon, he went to No. 159 Deep Water Bay and met Zhuang Xiaoting, who contributed experience points again, but it did not make Zhao Mancang happy.

After all, the experience points contributed by Ma Jiugong and his team each time were several hundred to nearly a thousand, especially when Li Qizhen and the other three were added, the experience points directly exceeded a thousand.

Therefore, the 159 experience points contributed by Zhuang Xiaoting can be handled calmly.

Zhuang Xiaoting was very resentful because Zhao Mancang had been ambiguous towards her over the past few months, and his attitude was neither close nor distant.

It was like an extreme pull, making her very uncomfortable.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm leaving Hong Kong and Kowloon next week. Will you come and see me off?"

Inside Villa No. 66 in Deep Water Bay, Zhao Mancang looked at the workers renovating in the distance. Hearing Zhuang Xiaoting's words beside him, he was startled and said,

"where are you going?"

"I'm going to study in North America. We might not be able to see each other for a long time. Will you come and see me off?"

Zhuang Xiaoting looked at Zhao Mancang expectantly. Although she was asking whether he would come to see her off, she actually hoped that Zhao Mancang would keep her and let her stay.

In this era, once you leave a city, there is a high probability that it will be a farewell forever.

It is now August and she has already graduated. She originally planned to work in her cousin's architectural design company and then move to other large companies in the future.

But she felt that she had met true love, but unfortunately, Zhao Mancang had always been indifferent to her, sometimes close and sometimes distant, and had never given her any definite news, which made her very distressed.

So she made up her mind and decided to study abroad in North America to see if she could make it and improve her abilities at the same time.

In addition, if she goes to study abroad in North America, she may also meet a better man, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, she still did not give up and hoped that Zhao Mancang could keep her.

But she was disappointed.

"Going to North America would be great, but I'll be very busy soon, so I might not have time to see you off."

Zhuang Xiaoting was trembling all over, looking at him resentfully, with tears in her eyes.

Zhao Mancang had already turned his head away, not looking at her. His mouth, which was at 36 degrees Celsius, spoke words that were 36 degrees below zero:

"Take good care of yourself and study hard when you get to North America. I heard the resources there are very good. Keep going!"

But go to hell, who wants to listen to you say this?

Zhuang Xiaoting was so angry that she cried and wanted to hit someone, but Zhao Mancang left first.

Feng Yue, who was on the other side, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

Alas, some people are obviously very close, but actually very far away. This is fate, you have to accept it!

In fact, Zhao Mancang was also quite conflicted at this time.

Once Zhuang Xiaoting went to North America, it meant that he had one less tool. Although the experience points she brought were not many, 159 experience points were really a lot.

"Forget it. Without Butcher Zhang, do we have to eat the hairy pig? Let's see if there are other people who can be used to fleece the pig."

After leaving Villa No. 66 in Deep Water Bay, Zhao Mancang brought Xu Wenluo to Delicious Kitchen for dinner.

Zhuang Xiaoting has already left, and he doesn't want Xu Wenluo, the tool, to run away again.

"Wenwen, your memory hasn't recovered yet?"

At the dining table by the window in Delicious Kitchen, Zhao Mancang and Xu Wenluo sat face to face, eating and chatting. Outside the window was the beautiful Victoria Harbour and the sunset.

Dining in such an environment is indeed a great enjoyment.

Xu Wenluo, a girl in her teens, has recovered almost completely after more than half a year of rest and recuperation. She is completely different from the disheveled girl that Zhao Mancang saw in the prison-like room in the factory on Mindanao Island.

It is hard to imagine that the girl in front of me was the thin, scarred and disabled girl a few months ago.

When Zhao Mancang brought Xu Wenluo back to the Legarda Hotel, if she had not brought him 199 experience points, Xu Wenluo would have been sent to an orphanage.

"no!"

Xu Wenluo frowned painfully, then smiled generously and wrote on the paper:
"Actually, I think I'm doing pretty well now. I'm very happy to have you, Brother Zhao, taking care of me."

She once again expressed her love and thoughts, but Zhao Mancang said she was still young and jokingly said:
"When you regain your memory, you might be the daughter of a billionaire. By then, you'll definitely be going back to Mindanao. How could you even remember me as your savior?"

He specifically emphasized the word "savior", not because he wanted to ask for repayment, but because he wanted to make it clear to her that this was the extent of their relationship.

But Xu Wenluo got angry and even held his big hand, hurriedly expressing his position.

Zhao Mancang calmly pulled his hand away and told her to stay calm, saying it was just a joke and not to take it so seriously.

"Brother Zhao, I'm serious. I really, really want to follow you and repay you with the rest of my life."

"." Zhao Mancang was speechless. He regretted bringing her out for dinner.

Xu Wenluo is different from Zhuang Xiaoting. She is like a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off. He is actually worried that this tool will run away?
Zhao Mancang was about to change the subject after bursting into laughter, but at this moment, a figure he did not expect appeared behind him.

"So this is your girlfriend?"

Zhuang Xiaoting's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Zhao Mancang and Xu Wenluo heartbrokenly.

At this time, Zhao Mancang and Xu Wenluo still had a somewhat close relationship. After all, they came out to eat and there was no one else around, and Xu Wenluo was holding Zhao Mancang's hand just now.

All this shows that the relationship between the two of them is not simple.

Xu Wenluo is full of youth, with a pretty face and regular features. Although she has not fully grown up yet, she is obviously a beauty at first glance.

Although there is no saying in this era that "a man remains a boy until he dies, and time cannot change his true nature", it seems to be a consensus that men have always liked girls around sixteen, seventeen or eighteen years old, right?
So, there is nothing wrong with Zhuang Xiaoting 'catching someone cheating' now, right?
"Hey, what a coincidence?"

Zhao Mancang glanced at him in surprise, then smiled casually, without any intention of explaining. "You came here to eat by yourself? Are those your family members?"

In the direction where he pointed his mouth, there was a man and a woman standing, both middle-aged, obviously Zhuang Xiaoting's parents.

Xu Wenluo was very happy because Zhao Mancang did not explain, which meant that he had her in his heart.

If Zhao Mancang knew what she was thinking, he would definitely make a few comments: Girls’ feelings are always poetic and they love to dream!
Zhuang Xiaoting's face was full of disbelief. She snorted coldly and turned away.

She was heartbroken and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

She didn't even bother to give an explanation, which showed that she had no place in Zhao Mancang's heart at all.

Who isn’t a proud little princess?
So she didn't want to humiliate herself anymore.

Zhao Mancang looked at the other person's back as he left, shook his head, turned to Xu Wenluo and said, "Are you full? If you are, let's go back."

This little episode did not cause any ripples in Zhao Mancang's heart.

Although he regretted losing a tool man, it didn't matter, there would probably be other tools men in the future, right?

At night, when dusk fell, Zhao Mancang sneaked into Alex's house. The smell in the house was very bad, not only the other person's unpleasant body odor, but also the smell of perfume, alcohol, etc.

The latter was already fast asleep, with a graceful woman lying next to him. It seemed that she was his prey tonight.

After a few silver needles, Zhao Mancang put Alex and the woman into a deep sleep, so that he didn't have to worry about them waking up suddenly.

Then he took out the prepared potion from the system space and gave it all to Alex.

In order to make sure that Alex is unaware and even the doctors in the hospital cannot find out and are helpless, for Zhao Mancang, all he has to do is pay attention to the details.

Anyway, this isn't the first time he's done something like this, so it's pretty simple.

In less than twenty minutes, Zhao Mancang finished his work.

"Have a good sleep. You won't have such good sleep quality in the future, hehe."

After saying that, Zhao Mancang left.

The next day, Zhao Mancang went to a third-party construction company, which was responsible for supervision and review of construction quality. It was also the third-party company that Zhao Mancang had previously hired for his villa at No. 66 in Deep Water Bay.

Villa No. 66 in Deep Water Bay is his home in Hong Kong Island. Even if Lin Wan is not willing to come here now, this does not affect the status of this villa in Zhao Mancang's heart.

Lin Wan was not happy to come here, but their children might not be so happy.

When they reach a certain age, Zhao Mancang will definitely bring his children here.

It is now 1959, and there are still about seven years before the Siberian cold wind passes through. By then, Xiao Taozi will be exactly seven years old and will be in the first grade.

Although being in the first grade didn’t have much of an impact, it was still not good.

So it is relatively better to bring him to Hong Kong and Kowloon to go to school.

Zhuang Xiaoting was so heartbroken yesterday, and Zhao Mancang couldn't guarantee that her cousin Feng Yue would not do anything tricky when he was not in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

Therefore, it is better to take precautions before something happens than to regret it later.

After giving instructions to the third-party construction company, Zhao Mancang returned to Qifa Building and began to think about the next industrial layout.

The competition in the newspaper industry in Hong Kong and Kowloon is indeed very fierce. He has already published four newspapers and a magazine, which seems to be quite stressful.

After all, if he wants to continue publishing newspapers, it means he will need to spend a certain amount of experience points to exchange for novels, which is a bit of a loss.

Therefore, it is imperative to develop other industries.

The real estate industry is the trend of the future, but there is no need to rush now.

Although Changda Real Estate has been established, it is currently only acquiring some land, which is completely a bottom-fishing behavior.

After all, the housing prices in Hong Kong and Kowloon had not started to rise in 1959 and were still very depressed, and would continue for another one or two years.

Companies such as Wharf Holdings and Dairy Farm, which own a large amount of particularly good land, are all assets of British-owned groups. It would be difficult for Zhao Mancang to acquire them, and it could even be said that it is impossible.

Unless he creates a British white person vest for himself, it will be difficult!
Since this is the case, Zhao Mancang has no choice but to find another way.

In Hong Kong and Kowloon, we will not continue to make so many small moves. We will first set up a new white vest, stack more layers of armor, and then acquire Changda Real Estate Company. Then we will lie low and then acquire the milk company when the time comes.

Apart from this, the rest of the small actions should be carried out on the North American continent, otherwise it will be difficult to continue causing trouble.

After finalizing the plan, Zhao Mancang came to the Governor's House in the evening to attend the party.

There is nothing mysterious about Western-style parties. When you walk into the hall, you will see well-mannered "gentlemen" and well-dressed "ladies" and ladies. The air is filled with various perfumes, which are very strong.

There is no such thing as a light and elegant perfume series, because it is August now and the climate in Hong Kong and Kowloon is very hot and humid, and the sweat glands of white people in Great Britain are very developed. At this time, they can only rely on the strong smell of perfume to cover up their body odor.

So, if it wasn't necessary, Zhao Mancang really didn't want to come to such a place to attend a party.

But there is no way. Even though my experience points have exceeded 10,000, it is still not enough. Instead, I feel even poorer.

He must seek a large 'protection umbrella' to protect his industries. Only in this way can he continue to acquire experience points.

Although the experience points generated by tools like Chen Liangsheng are pitifully small.

But a little bit of sand can make a tower. After all, he couldn't be so lucky to always meet tools like Xu Wenluo, Ma Jiugong, Yuan Yushan and others.

Even a tool like Zhuang Xiaoting has abandoned him, what can he do?
"Mr. Zhao, you're here. Come, come, let me introduce you."

As soon as Zhao Mancang entered the hall, he was stopped by Pu Weishi who was waiting at the door. Pu Weishi enthusiastically introduced him to many people.

The so-called "upper class" of Hong Kong and Kowloon attracted many British gentlemen and socialites, as well as many wealthy Chinese.

Although there are not many wealthy Chinese, there are not too few either.

Huanggua Li is not here, and I don’t know if he is not qualified enough. But Pao Yue-Kong is here. He is the world’s shipping king, so of course he will not be absent.

Henry Fok, chairman of the Lixin Construction Company, which has tens of thousands of employees, was also present.

However, the reason why Ho Ying-tung was excluded was very simple. He was biased towards our domestic side, which was fundamentally different from other wealthy people.

If it was an ordinary party, it would be impossible for Ho Ying-tung to appear here, but today was a party at the Governor's Mansion, so of course it was different.

The three words "Zhao Changshou" were a little unfamiliar to Ho Ying-tung, Pao Yue-kong and others. They didn't know that this was the boss behind the "Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily".

However, Pu Weishi, the boss of HSBC, took the initiative to introduce Zhao Mancang to others, which immediately made others even more confused.

P.W. Powell can be said to be the highest-ranking God of Wealth in the colonial city of Hong Kong and Kowloon, except for the Governor.

Sometimes, even the Governor of Hong Kong had to rely on Pu Weishi.

Pu Weishi, who is in such a high position, is actually willing to "guarantee" for Zhao Mancang?
Many people were speculating about Zhao Mancang's identity, but Zhao Mancang just smiled and said nothing.

Those who should know about his loan of 100 million US dollars from HSBC will naturally know about it, but the investment in gold is strictly confidential, and only Pu Weishi, Joseph and a few others know about it.

Just when Pu Weishi brought Zhao Mancang to Standard Chartered Bank's CEO, Fernak McGarry, and was about to introduce Zhao Mancang to the latter, Fernak opened his arms and hugged Zhao Mancang.

"Oh, Nicholas, my good friend, I didn't expect to see you here. It's such a pleasant surprise. When did you come back to Hong Kong and Kowloon? Why didn't you tell me? Do you know how much I want to have a meal with you?"

hiss!
This scene fell into the eyes of Pao Yue-kong, Henry Fok and others, and immediately made them open their eyes wide with an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

Pu Weishi's alarm bells rang: This bastard Fernak actually knew Nicholas? And they were so close?
