Reborn Tycoon: Hong Kong's Entertainment Godfather

Gu Yuhan was also calculating how much benefit he could get from the Kadoorie family, and what kind of business dealings the two sides could have. Next, he just had to wait for the next phase of the subway route planning.

……

……

Nowadays, more and more Hong Kong residents are flocking to Tseung Kwan O.

When Gu Yuhan developed the area in 1978, the population of Tseung Kwan O was less than 10,000. However, with the subsequent development of Gu Yuhan, the population has gradually increased to 50,000.

However, the population of Tseung Kwan O has now reached 80,000.

Moreover, the population is still pouring in, and people are constantly trying to buy houses in Tseung Kwan O. Even if they can't see a house, they can still buy a pre-sale apartment.

"I think we need to slow down a bit!"

Gu Yuhan looked at Huo Jianning and said, "The population of Tseung Kwan O has already reached 80,000. If more people continue to flock in, we may not be able to handle such a large influx in the short term!"

In the future, the population of Tseung Kwan O will reach 260,000.

Eighty thousand people is actually only one-third of the total population, still in a state of sparse population despite the vast land area. However, the problem is that Gu Yuhan has not continued to develop many areas, and given the scale of Gu Yuhan's current development, the future population could be much larger than 260,000.

After all, Tseung Kwan O, which is on a parallel line, didn't have a subway system initially, and there wouldn't be so many celebrities living there. Gu Yuhan thinks this is forcing growth and artificially inflating the population.

Huo Jianning nodded: "Boss, I think I understand what you mean. However, there's something I need to remind you. I just received the statistics today, and our population increase isn't 80,000, but has already surpassed the 100,000 mark!"

"How many people do you think we can accommodate right now?" Gu Yuhan asked. "Within the next three years!"

"150,000 people, that's the maximum!" Huo Jianning pondered for a moment before giving his answer.

"Then let's have 150,000 people!" Gu Yuhan nodded, then said, "Don't develop the rest of the land for now. When enough people flow in, I think the land price will continue to rise!"

"For the remaining land, we'll target high-end consumers!" Gu Yuhan thought for a moment, then quickly said, "Simply put, it's high-end. We'll sell to senior executives of companies, those with at least a million-dollar annual salary. Even if my property prices rise further, they can still afford it!"

"Okay!" Huo Jianning nodded quickly, then said, "Then, shall we start slowly acquiring land here? We won't develop it for now!"

"Let's first develop the areas we have on hand. For the remaining undeveloped areas, we'll create a concept, build a high-end community, and attract high-quality people!"

Gu Yuhan thought for a moment and said, "We can first promote it to the senior executives of our group and tell them that there are discounts for internal purchases!"

Huo Jianning nodded: "Good idea!"

"Then let's start with you!" Gu Yuhan suddenly laughed. "For the company's development, you, the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa, should take the lead in buying a house!"

Huo Jianning was stunned for a moment, then patted his chest and said, "Boss, I definitely have no problem with this. I believe this house will be renovated to be quite excellent!"

Gu Yuhan smiled: "We'll see when the time comes!"

The influx of people and profits from Tseung Kwan O has made countless Hong Kong capitalists envious.

A plan for 150,000 people—how much wealth will that generate?

Just by relying on property management, Gu Jia can make a fortune in a year. Moreover, this population of 150,000 is only a temporary plan. Everyone knows why Gu Yuhan is not in a hurry to develop the land behind it. He is waiting to absorb this population of 150,000 before developing it.

Once the subway is completed and the population is further absorbed, the value of this land will continue to increase.

envy!

Faced with the Gu family's domineering attitude, many people really don't have much of a temper.

After all, Gu Yuhan had spent a total of 300 million US dollars to acquire so much equipment, which squeezed out Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and won the MTR project.

In this day and age, most people simply don't have the vision or the ability to do this.

During this period, the number of wealthy individuals who came to see Gu Zhenguo and Gu Yuhan was definitely not small.

It started with the Kadoorie family, then the shipping magnate, and then Fok Ying-tung... Gu Yuhan is naturally not the kind of person who would hoard everything; he will share the benefits when necessary.

The Gu family's power is nothing special, but their true strength lies in forming a network of interests that completely binds these wealthy individuals together.

Subsequently, MTR immediately announced the planning for the second route.

Basically, the Kadoorie family, shipping magnate Bao, and Fok Ying-tung were all within the scope of the plan. Following this route, these three families made a fortune, and the land prices under their control also increased rapidly.

This move naturally caused an immediate shock among Hong Kong capitalists.

Now they can see that although the Gu family is domineering, they are definitely not selfish. Look at the shipping magnate, then look at Fok Ying-tung, and finally look at the Kadoorie family.

Gu Yuhan does have a good relationship with Bao Chuanwang and Huo Yingdong, but he didn't have any cooperation with the Kadoorie family before.

If the Kadoorie family can cooperate, why can't they cooperate with me?

Subsequently, Guo Desheng immediately went to the Sunshine Group and started discussing cooperation with Gu Zhenguo. Then Li Zhaoji came to visit, and even Old Ma Deng from Wheelock & Co., despite being ill, personally went to see Gu Zhenguo.

They went to find Gu Zhenguo, Gu Yuhan, and even Duan Hong. Big businesses have their own ways of doing things, and small businesses have their own ways of doing things.

Both Gu Zhenguo and Gu Yuhan's attitudes were quite clear.

Cooperation is possible.

However, I must be able to accept this benefit; I absolutely cannot allow myself to suffer any loss while you make a fortune.

……

……

Bright Food Group, Reception Room

"Mr. Wang!"

Gu Yuhan looked at Wang Dehui with a smile: "Long time no see!"

Wang Dehui took out a gift and placed it in front of Gu Yuhan: "President Gu, this is just a small gift, nothing more!"

The entire box was exquisite. Gu Yuhan opened it casually and found a jade Guanyin statue that was a full 30 centimeters long. It was clear at a glance that it was very valuable.

Gu Yuhan smiled and calmly accepted Wang Dehui's gift: "Mr. Wang, you came to see me about the subway, right?"

"It's like this, Mr. Gu. As you know, our Huamao Real Estate has also purchased a piece of land. We previously discussed it with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and now that the project has fallen to you, Mr. Gu, I still hope to cooperate with you!" Wang Dehui's tone was very polite.

Gu Yuhan tapped her knuckles lightly on the box, her smile growing even wider: "Mr. Wang, I think you could have a good talk with Duan Hong about choosing a subway station. This is a matter that needs to be considered scientifically!"

When I approached you to buy shares in Hongkong Land Group, you asked for an exorbitant price. Now, it has finally fallen into my hands, hasn't it?

As she spoke, Gu Yuhan observed Wang Dehui: "This isn't something I can decide; we need to consider the risks!"

"President Gu!"

Wang Dehui said, "I'm planning to develop a third phase of the project. I hope that Guangming Real Estate can be entrusted with the sales of the third phase. Similarly, the property management fees will belong entirely to Guangming Real Estate. I wonder what Mr. Gu thinks?"

"So, you're getting ready to cut your losses?" Gu Yuhan looked at Wang Dehui with a half-smile, then held up two fingers and said, "Two installments!"

"Okay, two installments!" Wang Dehui nodded readily.

After the agreement was reached.

Gu Yuhan met with his father again.

The vast majority of businessmen have chosen to cooperate with the Gu family. They could cooperate with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries before, so they can naturally choose to cooperate with the Gu family now.

"That's pretty good!"

Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "Since everyone is willing to offer a considerable amount of benefits, I think that's about enough!"

Gu Zhen nodded, then said, "Also, Li Jiacheng came to see me!"

"Oh?" Gu Yuhan became curious instead. "He still has the nerve to come here?"

"Why can't he come? Not long ago, he acquired three plots of land, just waiting for the subway to open and the prices to skyrocket. Now that the subway is in our hands, how could he not come?"

"What did he say?"

Gu Zhenguo shrugged: "He's outside right now, do you want to meet him?"

As he spoke, Gu Zhenguo pointed to the main entrance.

"Right outside?" Gu Yuhan was slightly taken aback. "You're just going to let him wait outside?"

"He insisted on meeting me!" Gu Zhenguo shrugged. "But I didn't see him at all. Tang Ning sent him away. I didn't expect him to be waiting outside!"

Gu Yuhan couldn't help but roll her eyes: "This guy is really persistent!"

Gu Zhenguo scoffed, "This guy isn't even worthy of meeting me now. Besides, he's been sabotaging us behind our backs. Before the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, he even had the media smear our company. He wants to meet me? Are you kidding me?"

"That's true!" Gu Yuhan nodded.

What is the status of the Gu family this year?

Li Ka-shing is naturally incomparable to him. Since the failed acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, Li Ka-shing's capital has shrunk dramatically, and the market value of Cheung Kong Holdings has also plummeted. Although Li Ka-shing is still tenaciously surviving and maintaining the dignity of a wealthy person, he has actually fallen behind long ago.

Gu Yuhan thought for a moment and said, "I think he has suffered considerable losses this time, and it will be difficult for him to recover!"

"He brought this on himself!" Gu Zhenguo shrugged and said calmly, "It's not that I can't cooperate, it's just that I extremely dislike people who do bad things behind people's backs!"

"We need to make an example of him to teach him a lesson!" Gu Yuhan said with a smile. "Otherwise, these wealthy people might really think that the Gu family has no backbone at all!"

Cooperation is still necessary, but making an example of someone is also essential.

Now, Li Ka-shing is that chicken.

Sunshine Group

Li Jiacheng couldn't help but yawn. At that moment, Tang Ning approached him: "Mr. Li, Mr. Li!"

Upon hearing Tang Ning's words, Li Jiacheng hurriedly opened his eyes: "Secretary Tang, how is it? Has Mr. Gu returned?"

"Not yet, Mr. Li. I think you shouldn't wait any longer. If Mr. Gu returns, I will tell him to call you then. What do you think?" Tang Ning spoke politely, leaving no room for criticism.

Li Jiacheng stood up, glanced at Tang Ning, then checked the time, realizing he had been waiting for three hours. He stood up and said, "Then I'll trouble Secretary Tang!"

call!

When Li Jiacheng walked out of the Sunshine Group, he was slightly taken aback, and then he saw Shen Bi walk in.

"Mr. Shen!" Li Jiacheng was slightly taken aback and asked curiously, "What brings you here?"

"I had an appointment with Mr. Gu to discuss some matters!" Shen Bi smiled and said, "What are you doing here too!"

"I also came looking for Mr. Gu, but he doesn't seem to be here!" Li Jiacheng said. "Mr. Shen, I think you've come for nothing. Do you have some time tonight?"

"No, the time we agreed on is now!" Shen Bi looked at his watch and asked in surprise, "Not now?"

At this moment, Tang Ning came downstairs, saw Shen Bi, and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, please come in. Mr. Gu has been waiting for you for quite some time!"

A surge of anger welled up in Li Jiacheng's heart: "Secretary Tang, just now, just now, wasn't he not here?"

Tang Ning simply smiled: "Mr. Li, Mr. Gu has just returned. I'm sorry, he doesn't have time to see you right now. Please leave. If he has time, he will arrange to meet with you!"

Li Jiacheng was furious to the extreme, his fists clenched tightly, the rage in his heart beyond description.

He had been waiting here for three hours, and Gu Zhen was definitely in his office, refusing to come out, just wanting to see him make a fool of himself.

Shen Bi, clearly aware of Li Jiacheng's predicament, smiled and said, "Jiacheng, he just got back. Why don't you come another time?"

Li Jiacheng clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it, gritting his teeth and forcing a smile: "Alright, then I'll take my leave!"

Although he was laughing, every word he uttered was spoken through gritted teeth, filled with hatred.

Li Ka-shing then turned and left in anger.

At this moment, Li Jiacheng felt like a clown jumping around on the beam, feeling extremely frustrated, especially the way Shen Bi looked at him just now, which clearly showed that he was watching a joke.

He used to have some relationship with Shen Bi, but now, he looks at him as if he's watching a joke.

He has degenerated into a pathetic, clown-like figure.

Li Ka-shing was naturally furious.

Originally, he still held onto a sliver of hope that a reconciliation might still be possible.

However, Li Ka-shing is now truly desperate. The Gu family has no intention of forgiving him. They attacked him from behind to seize control of Hutchison Whampoa, and now they are using the media to smear the Gu family's infrastructure capabilities. How can you forgive them?

Gu Yuhan's motto is indeed cooperation first and customers foremost.

However, this is on the premise that we need to make an example of them. In the gangs, the first family that Gu Yuhan dealt with was the Ma family, and in the business world, it was the group led by Li Jiacheng.

Quite coincidentally, Li Ka-shing was that chicken.

As Li Ka-shing watched as Sir Michael Sandberg went upstairs, he knew that soon the whole of Hong Kong would be talking about this joke: he had waited for three hours, but Gu Zhenguo still wouldn't see him.

In the future, it will be difficult for anyone to cooperate with me. After all, what if I cooperate with you and offend the Gu family?

Gritting his teeth, Li Jiacheng felt incredibly agitated.

"Mr. Sim Bi!"

When Gu Zhenguo saw Shen Bi, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "I've been waiting for you for a long time! Come and try this; it's Longjing tea that I specially brought from West Lake!"

As he spoke, Gu Zhenguo personally poured Shen Bi a cup of tea.

Shen Bi also picked up his teacup, took a sip, and smiled, saying, "Excellent tea!"

Gu Zhenguo smiled slightly: "This is top-grade West Lake Longjing tea. It was very difficult to obtain before. We've only been able to get it in the last two years since the mainland opened up to the outside world. By the end of this year, we might be able to get pre-rain Longjing tea, which is said to taste even better!"

"Then, I can certainly look forward to it!" Shen Bi smiled, then cut to the chase: "Mr. Gu, I've come here today with a request!"

Gu Zhenguo held his teacup calmly, sipping his tea without saying a word: "Old Shen, we're old friends, why bother with requests? Just tell me what help you need!"

"I'd like to know how much money your Gu family has left, and whether it's possible to transfer this money to HSBC!" Sim Bi didn't mince words, getting straight to the point: "I hope you can deposit this money into HSBC!"

Gu Zhen hesitated for a moment, then his gaze fell on Gu Yuhan: "You might need to ask Yu about this!"

Shen Bi's gaze fell on Gu Yuhan, and he asked curiously, "Yuhan?"

"To be precise, this money was all earned by A-Yu!" Gu Zhenguo said with no small amount of pride. "This is money A-Yu earned last year in the US futures market. To be honest, it doesn't really have much to do with me!"

Shen Bi was surprised: "You earned A-Yu's money?"

Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, is the acquisition of OceanMilan Bank not going very smoothly?"

Sir Michael Sandberg nodded: "It hasn't been going very smoothly, so I hope you can do me a favor. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly; I will help you get into the HSBC board of directors!"

Gu Yuhan gave Shen Bi a deep look. Shen Bi was the type who didn't really reject Chinese capital. Historically, he helped shipping magnates like Bao and Li Ka-shing to enter the board of directors of HSBC.

However, the Gu family is currently the strongest, so Shen Bi naturally has the idea of ​​winning them over.

There was a certain degree of mutual benefit between Shen Bi and Chinese capital. Shen Bi lent money to Chinese capital, which helped it rise rapidly. In return, after rising, Chinese capital would help Shen Bi by providing him with ample deposits.

It was precisely because of this that Sir Michael Sandberg was able to spend 50 billion yuan to build the HSBC headquarters building in 1985 and also spend 31 billion US dollars to purchase 51% of the shares of OceanMillion Bank, demonstrating the strong strength of HSBC under his management.

This was a mutually beneficial process, and Sir Michael Sandberg also received extremely rich rewards from it, earning him the title of "King of the Big Boss" in Hong Kong.

"Joining the HSBC board of directors will grant you a 5% stake in HSBC!" Simbir calmly stated his terms: "Zhenguo, Ayu, what do you think?"

Gu Zhenguo glanced at Gu Yuhan, waiting for her reply.

Unfortunately, the money wasn't in Gu Zhenguo's hands. Gu Yuhan was basically the one who kept his word. To be honest, Gu Zhenguo really felt that his son was unfathomable.

Facing their gazes, Gu Yuhan picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip. "Uncle Shen, I have a small question!"

Shen Bi looked at Gu Yuhan and said with a smile, "Go on!"

"Does joining the HSBC board of directors refer to my father, me, or both of us?" Gu Yuhan asked with a smile.

Shen Bi was stunned, but he immediately understood Gu Yuhan's intention.

If they were to join the HSBC board of directors, it certainly couldn't be just one person; both father and son wanted to get into HSBC. He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I'd like to know, how much money do you have left?"

"After acquiring Jardine Matheson and Jardine Matheson, we didn't have that much capital left!" Gu Yuhan smiled. "We probably still have about 5 to 8 billion left, but I'll need to consult with the finance department for more details!"

"Ten billion!" said Shen Bi. "If you can deposit ten billion this year and not withdraw it within three years, I can persuade the shareholders to let you and your son both join!"

"Ten billion?" Gu Yuhan shook his head. It wasn't that he couldn't come up with the money; he had about 1.2 billion US dollars in the United States.

However, this sum of money cannot be touched. When the 21st century war breaks out in 1980, this will be the best opportunity for me to make money, so I definitely cannot take it out.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "What about next year? What if I deposit 20 billion into HSBC?"

Shen Bi was taken aback, but then became curious: "Ah Yu, are you really sure you can still deposit 20 billion next year?"

"Of course!" Gu Yuhan said with a smile, "Is that really a problem for me?"

Shen Bi took a deep breath: "So, initially, I need you to deposit 3 billion, and not withdraw it within five years. Is that a problem for you?"

Gu Yuhan smiled: "No problem!"

"Excellent!" Shen Bi laughed. "Then, one of you, father and son, can come in first. If we really reach 20 billion next year, I'll find a way to get both of you onto the HSBC board of directors!"

At this point, Shen Bi smiled and said, "Zhenguo, Ayu, we're old friends. Don't worry, I certainly won't mistreat my friends!"

Gu Yuhan smiled slightly: "Of course, I believe Mr. Shen Bi will definitely not treat us unfairly!"

Shen Bi couldn't help but sigh. The Gu family father and son were truly impressive. Last year, they were eagerly sending him money, but now, he was inviting them to join the board of directors of HSBC.

However, it is undeniable that the Gu family is indeed very powerful, and cooperating with the Gu family would greatly enhance HSBC's strength.

In Sir Michael Sandberg's style, the first priority was, of course, to enhance HSBC's strength, and then, incidentally, to make money for himself.

Nowadays, winning over the Gu family can both increase HSBC's strength and make money for themselves, so why not?

However, everything comes at a price.

Since he valued the father and son so much, Gu Yuhan wouldn't hold back. He was already calculating whether he had the ability to swallow HSBC Bank whole.

Banks are a great thing!

……

……

Subsequently, the news that Gu Zhenguo had become a member of the board of directors of HSBC immediately spread throughout Hong Kong.

Global Group

"What?" The shipping magnate was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "You've become a member of HSBC's board of directors? When did this happen?"

Holding a newspaper, Wu Guangzheng quickly said, "It seems to have happened just yesterday, Dad, look!"

As he spoke, Wu Guangzheng pushed the newspaper in front of the shipping magnate Bao: "This news has been confirmed by Sir Michael Sandberg. Sandberg believes that the Gu family is now very powerful, and their entry into the HSBC board of directors will undoubtedly greatly enhance HSBC's strength!"

Bao, the shipping magnate, couldn't help but take a deep breath, then said, "Unbelievable, truly unbelievable! Last year, the father and son were begging Simbair, and now, Simbair is inviting them to join the board of directors of HSBC!"

"That father and son are really something else!" Wu Guangzheng exclaimed, then slowly said, "Dad, shouldn't we congratulate them?"

The shipping magnate slightly lowered his gaze, then nodded: "Indeed, I must congratulate them properly. These days, father and son are quite different; they're incredibly sought-after in Hong Kong!"

Wu Guangzheng said, "Shall I prepare a gift?"

The shipping magnate nodded: "Okay!"

Repulse Bay, Li Ka-shing's Villa

boom!

Li Jiacheng angrily slammed the newspaper he was holding onto the coffee table, his face contorted with rage: "The Gu family! The Gu family!"

Seeing the Gu family gradually grow stronger, Li Jiacheng felt extremely uncomfortable.

Originally, he had a deal with Wong, but it was snatched away. He finally managed to cooperate with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, but after acquiring three plots of land, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries withdrew.

This Gu family member seems to be my nemesis!

Hate, it was real hate!

Li Jiacheng never expected that the Gu family was becoming more and more prosperous, while he himself seemed to be getting worse year by year.

That's just how it is sometimes.

A small mistake can lead to a huge error. If you miss an opportunity, the best thing to do is to calm down a bit and then try again. In this great era, there will always be many opportunities.

However, Li Ka-shing was too impatient.

Because of his obsession with Hutchison Wong, he completely offended the Gu family.

Of course, for Gu Yuhan, whether Li Jiacheng was in a hurry or not, he was going to oust Li Jiacheng anyway. He couldn't help it; he was far too familiar with Li Jiacheng's rise to power. Who else would he target if not Li Jiacheng?

……

……

The Gu family remains highly sought after today.

"Birthday?" Gu Yuhan was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but say, "My birthday!"

Gu Zhenguo smiled and said, "Yes, it's your birthday!"

"I didn't even know it was my birthday!" Gu Yuhan shrugged, surprised. "You didn't make a fuss about my birthday last year either!"

Gu Zhenguo said, "At this time last year, our family was busy acquiring Lee Hysan Holdings, so we didn't have time to celebrate your birthday. This year, we're going to throw you a birthday party!"

Gu Yuhan's facial muscles twitched slightly a few times, then he couldn't help but say, "I think we should forget about it; it seems like it's still too much trouble!"

"I think we should definitely celebrate your birthday!"

Gu Zhenguo slowly began, "There are plenty of people who want to get along with the Gu family right now. Which of these Hong Kong tycoons doesn't want to be on good terms with us? This time, for your birthday, we actually need to come up with a little excuse!"

"The point is to give these Hong Kong tycoons a chance to get together. You always have to give them an opportunity to give gifts, right? This also shows that the Gu family is very willing to cooperate with them. Now that we've joined the HSBC board of directors, there are definitely a lot of people trying to curry favor with us!"

Gu Yuhan thought for a moment and understood quite a bit. He nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, you arrange it!"

After a slight pause, Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "Then let's put it in my Tseung Kwan O villa. The environment here is quite nice, and I think many people would be willing to come. However, I still have one request: no reporters are allowed to come. I think we all need to protect our privacy!"

Gu Zhenguo nodded: "Okay, then we'll settle you in the villa in Tseung Kwan O. Don't worry about the reporters, none of them will come!"

Gu Yuhan smiled and nodded, saying, "That's good."

Now that Gu Yuhan is celebrating his birthday, the scale of the celebration is naturally extraordinary.

Although it was called a birthday celebration, it was actually more of an exchange between people in the same circle. Gu Yuhan gave the order, and then the entire General No. 1 began to be set up immediately.

Besides the wealthy, there are also some celebrities from the entertainment industry.

These are all our own artists; all the ones who can come are B-level artists, or at least some pretty female artists.

In short, a grand display is still necessary.

Happy birthday, Ayu!

When Shen Bi arrived and saw Gu Yuhan, he took a few steps and immediately gave Gu Yuhan a bear hug. Shen Bi's attitude towards Gu Yuhan is now somewhat different.

Previously, I just thought he was Gu Zhenguo's son, but now I realize that this kid is extraordinary. Naturally, I want to win him over, since he still has 20 billion in savings next year.

Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Shen!"

Shen Bi smiled, casually pointed to the golden lighthouse to the side, and said with a smile, "This is for you!"

"Thank you, Uncle Shen!" Gu Yuhan smiled.

Shen Bi smiled and said, "Your Gu family is very popular right now, and I still have high hopes for you next year. If you need anything, just let me know, and I will do my best to meet your needs!"

"Then thank you in advance, Uncle Shen!" Gu Yuhan smiled again.

A little while later, Bao Chuanwang arrived at the banquet with his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng.

The gift from the shipping magnate was quite simple: a sailboat made of gold.

When you're unsure what gift to give, gold is definitely a great choice.

Subsequently, more people arrived at the banquet. Although Laurence Kadoorie was too old to attend in person, his son did.

Then three of the four future major families arrived: Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng, and Zheng Yutong.

The Wheelock & Co. firm was represented by Martin Marden himself.

Everyone present could be considered a prominent figure in Hong Kong. Subsequently, Taiwan also sent representatives, with the Bamboo Union Group, Tiandao Group, and Sihai Group sending their key confidants.

The scale of this scene is truly exceptional.

It's worth noting that Gu Yuhan only turned nineteen this year.

However, the Gu family is now so powerful, especially after they took over the subway. There are countless wealthy people in Hong Kong coming to them seeking cooperation, and even more people wanting to curry favor with them.

Zhao Yazhi, Mi Xue, Chen Yulian, and Chung Chuh-hung are also dressed to the nines.

Naturally, those who were there all knew that the four of them were Gu Yuhan's women, and everyone treated them with exceptional politeness. In fact, the four of them received quite a few gifts.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Gu Yuhan is a woman is enough to make countless people fawn over her.

Chung Chu-hung was initially uneasy. When she learned that she was not Gu Yu-han's only woman, she was initially resistant. However, Gu Yu-han had given her so much.

Besides Chung Chor-hung herself, there's also her entire family. She's well aware that she can't escape this situation, but she doesn't know how to handle her feelings, so she's just taking it one step at a time.

In addition, there was Zhao Yazhi, who was also worried that her relationship with Gu Yuhan would be exposed. However, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no reporters at the scene. She was afraid that she would be exposed, otherwise, she would really suffer social death.

Among this group, the most relaxed pair is actually Mi Xue and Chen Yulian.

Chen Yulian has completely let go of her inhibitions. As long as she makes money, that's all that matters. At this birthday party, she wore heavy makeup to make herself look even more radiant and beautiful, giving the impression that she wanted to be the center of attention.

In fact, Chan Yuk-lin even chatted with Chow Yun-fat for a while.

Chow Yun-fat has now completely given up hope. The current Chen Yulian feels like a stranger to him; he can't recognize her at all. This is the same innocent Little Dragon Girl from before, who now seems to have an irresistible charm.

He sighed.

Chow Yun-fat also knew that there was a big gap in skill between the two sides, and he completely extinguished his anger.

"Young Master Yu, it's time to blow out the candles!"

Two beautiful young women, Wen Bixia and Li Saifeng, pushed out a large cake.

"...Thank you all so much for coming to my birthday party today. Let me first raise a glass to you all to express my gratitude..." Gu Yuhan said politely, holding up his wine glass.

Meanwhile, a pair of eyes in the crowd were fixed on Gu Yuhan.

It's Rosamund Kwan.

Rosamund Kwan has been keeping an eye on Gu Yuhan for a long time. Ever since the filming of Happy Ghost was completed, Rosamund Kwan has continued to go to school. At that time, she had been keeping an eye on Gu Yuhan, and it wasn't just for a day or two.

When Rosamund Kwan learned that Gu Yuhan had given every woman around him a villa, she admitted that she couldn't sit still.

Rosamund Kwan is very confident in her looks, believing she is no less beautiful than Cherie Chung or Idy Chan, and even younger. She doesn't hide her true desire to rise to the top.

She just wanted to live in a bigger villa.

Rosamund Kwan had an intense desire for money due to her parents' divorce.

The restaurant was playing melodious waltz music. Gu Yuhan was chatting and laughing with many wealthy young ladies. He was also talking to people about business and cooperation.

Gu Zhenguo is right. Gu Yuhan's birthday banquet, though called a banquet, is actually more of a networking event. Many business deals are made and finalized during this banquet, leading to further cooperation.

Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in Gu Yuhan's ear: "Young Master Yu, may I ask you to dance?"

Gu Yuhan's eyes flashed, and she spotted the stunning beauty Rosamund Kwan standing before her. A smile immediately spread across her face: "Okay!"

Afterwards, Gu Yuhan danced with Guan Zhilin on the dance floor, and Guan Zhilin leaned against Gu Yuhan's chest, a bright smile still on her face: "Young Master Yu, happy birthday!"

"Thank you!" Gu Yuhan smiled.

"Young Master Yu, it's your birthday. We didn't prepare a birthday present. You won't be upset, will you?" Rosamund Kwan asked cautiously.

"Oh, how could I be unhappy over such a small thing?" Gu Yuhan smiled, but his hand moved towards Guan Zhilin's buttocks.

Very moisturizing!

Rosamund Kwan took a deep breath, then whispered in Gu Yuhan's ear, "Young Master Yu, I actually prepared a birthday present. Do you want to know what it is?"

"What is it?" Gu Yuhan asked curiously, a smile appearing on his face.

"I'm turning eighteen this year. I'm giving myself to Young Master Yu as a birthday present. Young Master Yu, do you like it?" Rosamund Kwan looked up, her eyes blazing with fury.

If we were to list the most beautiful actresses in Hong Kong history, Rosamund Kwan might not be number one, but she would definitely be a strong contender for the top spot. Whether it's her looks or her charisma, she's a true superstar.

However, what is somewhat frustrating is that although this beauty has played many classic film and television roles, such as Aunt Thirteen.

She played classic roles such as Lan Xiaodie in "The New Legend of the Condor Heroes", but what made her famous all the time was the sport of golf, and she was even given the title of "Golf Goddess".

Of course, Gu Yuhan is certain that Guan Meiren is still a virgin.

A faint fragrance wafted towards him, and Gu Yuhan immediately had a physiological reaction.

Rosamund Kwan clearly sensed Gu Yuhan's reaction and couldn't help but giggle. Confident in her charm, she moved even closer to him, gently blinking her eyes: "Young Master Yu, do you like this gift from me?"

Gu Yuhan had to admit that this was an absolutely deadly little vixen, especially her eyes, which were an invincible weapon.

Guan Meiren's beauty was so striking that even Huang Zhan, who was used to seeing beautiful women, said, "This stunningly beautiful woman's eyes are electrifying. If she glances at you, eleven out of ten men will be confused and fall in love with her."

Gu Yuhan agrees with this statement.

He felt his impulse growing stronger and stronger, and he wished he could take the girl right there and then.

To be honest, at her peak, Rosamund Kwan didn't even need much makeup. Just a touch of powder and lip gloss was enough to make her radiant and stunningly beautiful.

Rosamund Kwan is only eighteen years old now, but she already possesses extremely terrifying destructive power.

In particular, those eyes were so stunning that even a seasoned veteran like Gu Yuhan was amazed by them, and he even subconsciously swallowed.

Rosamund Kwan clearly sensed Gu Yuhan's reaction, and she moved even closer to him, even rubbing her teddy bear against him: "Young Master Yu, tell me quickly, do you like this gift?"

"I love it, of course I love it!" Gu Yuhan hugged Guan Meiren tightly, a smile spreading across his face. "You put a lot of thought into this gift, I really like it!"

Rosamund Kwan chuckled and moved even closer to Gu Yuhan. She knew perfectly well that she had almost succeeded.

During this time, she also learned about the treatment of the girls around Gu Yuhan. Each of them lived in a large villa, were covered in all kinds of luxury goods, and had countless resources.

Rosamund Kwan didn't want to hide these things; she wanted them too.

Guan Meiren's life is a whole palace drama. As a bewitching fox spirit, she is constantly vying for men with other women.

Even on a television program, the stunning beauty Kwan once declared confidently, "Everything I do is for money!"

She experienced the decline of her family's fortunes. Her father, Kwan Shan, was a veteran star of Shaw Brothers and the first Chinese international film emperor.

However, after becoming famous, Guan Shan went out to do business, but little did he know that he was not cut out for business. He opened a film company, but the film company went bankrupt. Later, he continued to make TV series and made a lot of money. As a result, he was caught having an affair. A few years ago, his wife divorced him and took their son to the United States.

Then, Guan Shan paid a large sum of child support and went back to doing business, which resulted in his mother losing so much money that she exploded.
