Reborn Tycoon: Hong Kong's Entertainment Godfather

MacLehose became incredibly excited.

Gu Yuhan nodded: "Okay, you can go down now and continue to observe!"

At this point, Gu Yuhan turned to look at MacLehose and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, Governor, how about we make a bet?"

"A bet?" MacLehose asked curiously, "What kind of bet?"

Gu Yuhan smiled and slowly said, "Let's bet on when Hutchison Whampoa's market value will break through 100 billion!"

MacLehose suddenly relaxed, smiled, and slowly said, "I think we can break 100 billion by 2 PM this afternoon!"

Gu Yuhan thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I think this pace will be greatly accelerated. We will definitely break through the 100 billion market value before noon today!"

MacLehose laughed: "So, what's our bet?"

Gu Yuhan thought for a moment and said, "Give me a Justice of the Peace?"

"No problem!" MacLehose nodded, smiling as he said, "Absolutely no problem!"

Even if Gu Yuhan didn't mention it, MacLehose would still give it to him. Last year it was given to Gu Zhenguo, and this year, it's Gu Yuhan's turn no matter what. The influence of this father and son in Hong Kong is now enormous.

The two people were chatting.

Time, too, flows by, second by second.

Finally, at 11:45, Hutchison Whampoa's market capitalization officially surpassed 100 billion.

Upon seeing the number, Gu Yuhan smiled, and Mai Lihao smiled too, extending his palm towards Gu Yuhan: "Congratulations, Mr. Gu, you won!"

"I have to thank the Governor of Hong Kong for the merger of the four major stock exchanges; that gave me the opportunity to win!" Gu Yuhan simply smiled, "I wouldn't dare take credit!"

Now that MacLehose was completely relieved, he chatted briefly for a few more minutes before turning and leaving.

Naturally, MacLehose was bombarded by reporters.

"A market capitalization of hundreds of billions—I believe this is just the beginning. Hong Kong's future development will only be better; even a market capitalization of trillions is not impossible!"

"Have confidence in Hong Kong, and have confidence in the future development of humanity!"

Listening to MacLehose's interview, Gu Yuhan just smiled. Hong Kong will belong to the mainland in the future, what does it have to do with you, MacLehose? What does it have to do with Great Britain?

Time passed little by little.

Finally, it was 4:30 PM.

The entire data on Hutchison Whampoa was also compiled.

After the merger of the four major exchanges, the power unleashed was exponentially increased. Gu Yuhan glanced at the data and basically judged that the Hang Seng Index was about to surge.

Today's opening price was 1.000, the highest price was 14.400, and the trading volume was 1772 million shares.

Yesterday's closing price was 3000, with a low of 14.300 and a trading volume of 67.04 billion.

Turnover rate 2.19%, P/E ratio (TTM) 18.26, total market capitalization 1430 billion.

Now, Hutchison Whampoa's market value has increased to 143 billion, which is roughly equivalent to the nearly 20 billion US dollars that Gu Yuhan transferred back from the United States.

The moment this number was released, it caused an immediate stir throughout Hong Kong.

In just one year, Hutchison Whampoa's market value increased at least threefold.

Last year's peak was 50 billion, but at the current rate, it has increased threefold.

It's hard to say whether 143 billion will directly break through to 150 billion.

What is the name of Hong Kong's No. 1 family?

Just look at the Gu family and you'll understand.

Of course, this number is definitely inflated, but so what? As long as the vast majority of people believe that Hutchison Whampoa will create more miracles, that's enough.

I trust Huang and I trust the Gu family.

A market capitalization of 150 billion

This number has still been surpassed.

This number has deeply shocked the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens.

Three times the previous profit.

Gu Yuhan glanced at the financial report Huo Jianning handed him, then asked, "How much do you estimate you can cash out this time?"

Huo Jianning hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, boss. I think we can at least cash out this amount this time!"

As he spoke, Huo Jianning held up four fingers.

"Four hundred billion!"

Gu Yuhan didn't seem to care at all, and then slowly said, "You handle it, I trust you. ~There's one more thing!"

Huo Jianning quickly spoke up, "Boss, what do you say?!"

Keep an eye on the two groups.

One is Wheelock & Co., and the other is Caring Group.

"Whelton & Co.!"

Huo Jianning was not surprised at all. Gu Yuhan had already swallowed Hutchison and Jardine Matheson, so it was absolutely impossible for him not to have designs on the other two major central banks.

One was Swire Group, and the other was Wheelock.

Of these, Wheelock was the weakest.

"Old Madden hasn't been in good health lately, and young Madden isn't focused on his career. I think the chances of taking it over are still quite high!" Huo Jianning nodded quickly, then asked with a slight hint of doubt, "But what's the situation with this Jia Ning Group?"

"The merger of the four major exchanges is bound to create a huge bubble!" Gu Yuhan chuckled, then slowly said, "What we need to do is make that bubble burst. There are definitely scammers involved!"

The Caring Group fraud case, also known as the Caring Group fraud case, is a large-scale corruption and fraud case. The mastermind is Chan Ching-chung, the owner of the Hong Kong Caring Group. The Caring Group case lasted for 17 years and involved hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars. The litigation costs exceeded HK$2 million. However, the mastermind Chan Ching-chung was only sentenced to three years in prison, and spent more than a year of that in a detention ward. Meanwhile, three people closely related to the case died mysteriously!

Gu Yuhan still remembers this case very well.

The Carrie Lam case directly caused signs of a stock market crash in Hong Kong, and even triggered a sharp drop in the Hang Seng Index.

Right now, Jianing Group is just a small part of the group. Chen Qingsong hasn't fully unleashed his persuasive skills yet. However, if possible, Gu Yuhan wouldn't mind giving it a push, as long as he can make money.

"I hold 10% of the shares in Jianing Group, but don't let anyone know!"

Gu Yuhan smiled and slowly said, "Don't discuss cooperation with Jianing Group openly. It must be real money with them. Chen Qingsong asked you to invest, but don't do it openly either. If it's a cooperation between subway stations, then cooperate with them. If they want to do things under our name, let them do it. But don't explicitly tell anyone that we have a cooperation with them, understand?"

To be honest, with Hong Kong's acceleration, the Hang Seng Index soared to the sky. Gu Yuhan was also very curious about how much of a boast Chen Qingsong could make and how many people he could lure into.

Huo Jianning nodded: "I understand. By the way, boss, there's an opening ceremony being held in Tseung Kwan O. Would you like to take a look?"

"It's going to open to traffic?" Gu Yuhan was slightly taken aback, then smiled. "Great, invite me to come and take a look!"

Repulse Bay, Gu Zhen's villa

The father and son are chatting together.

Gu Zhenguo's physical recovery is quite good now. Although he has steel nails in his body, his walking and activities are not much different from those of a normal person.

The main thing is to avoid overly strenuous exercise!

"If the Governor of Hong Kong wants to retire, just bring him into our company and hire him!" Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "The compensation will be better!"

"Did the Governor of Hong Kong imply this?" Gu Zhen frowned slightly.

"Even without that intention, we'll still do it!" Gu Yuhan smiled. "If he doesn't agree, then we'll start with his wife and daughters. However, we won't reveal anything while he's still alive. We'll wait until he retires, until he's received enough benefits, then the scales will naturally tip in our favor!"

Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "Why be so blunt? We're doing this to show the new Governor of Hong Kong that if he cooperates in Hong Kong, we'll definitely reap the benefits!"

"This area around the MTR station, especially in Tseung Kwan O!"

Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "The subway line will be open soon. The subway cars were designed in mainland China, and the steel for the tracks was also produced there. My plan is to invite leaders from mainland China to come and see it. This year, they've put a lot of effort into it, so it wouldn't be right not to invite them!"

The subway construction is progressing a little faster than expected.

One is the use of tunnel boring machines, and the other is that the technology on the mainland is really not lagging behind.

In the past two years, thanks to Gu Yuhan's investment, the mainland took advantage of the honeymoon period to purchase a batch of advanced equipment from the United States and Western countries. Although it was not the most advanced batch, the design of the subway tracks and subway cars was still not a big problem.

The construction and opening of the subway was much faster than expected.

Gu Zhenguo nodded: "You're right!"

"This ceremony should still be held!"

Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "Also, Dad, we need to prepare red envelopes for all the workers, whether they're from China or abroad. Since they're working for us, we shouldn't be stingy with the money. We need to build up the reputation of the Gu family!"

"I never expected that we would actually build this subway!" Gu Zhenguo took a deep breath.

"I told you, it's all about human effort, and besides, this isn't exactly some kind of highly advanced technique!"

Gu Yuhan shrugged and said with a smile, "This time, Tseung Kwan O is also an excellent example, allowing other wealthy people to see what cooperation with us can bring!"

"Of course, we'll invite the Governor of Hong Kong too. After all, it was during his tenure that we initiated the merger of the four major stock exchanges, established the ICAC, and even built the MTR. All of that is thanks to him!" Gu Yuhan spread his hands and said with a smile, "How about it?"

Gu Zhen nodded again: "Okay, we'll do it your way!!"

At this point, Gu Zhenguo suddenly laughed and continued, "By the way, Sir MacLehose just called me and said he made a bet with you, and you won. He's going to award you a Justice of the Peace!"

"So, our family now has two Justices of the Peace!" Gu Yuhan laughed heartily. "It should have been given to us a long time ago, but it's been delayed until now. However, I'm not so concerned about being a Justice of the Peace now; it all depends on whether the Queen is willing to give us a knighthood!"

"It's not that easy," Gu Zhenguo chuckled. "There are only a handful of Chinese players who can beat the Jazz right now!"

"This thing was only useful before 97. After 97, it was meaningless!" Gu Yuhan shrugged and said indifferently.

"Before '97?" Gu Zhenguo was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"

You'll find out when the time comes.

Do you think the status of a knight is useful?

The honor is undeniable, but it needs to be viewed differently.

Anyway, as a time traveler, Gu Yuhan always felt that Great Britain was a troublemaker. Forty years later, it was nothing more than a clown. Gu Yuhan thought that Great Britain might even split him apart. The title Great Britain gave him was a joke.

If Great Britain really did separate from Sugar Land, the title it would give you would be truly...

Gu Yuhan did some thinking. Even if he was given a title, the shelf life of that title would only be about twenty years.

Gu Yuhan wouldn't take him seriously, but Gu Zhenguo might.

In the 1990s, this title became somewhat overused, and it was even given to some celebrities. Isn't that a joke?

The title of Justice of the Peace is sufficient now. Anyone with common sense in Hong Kong can see that the Gu family's influence in Hong Kong is definitely worthy of a knighthood.

MacLehose understood this perfectly and naturally needed to report the situation to Great Britain.

If there are no major problems, the title will be removed before MacLehose leaves office completely.

Before this, MacLehose had shown considerable sincerity by actively seeking cooperation with Gu Yuhan and the Gu family. Naturally, he hoped to have more achievements to show for himself before leaving.

Naturally, this time MacLehose once again personally conferred the title of Justice of the Peace upon Gu Yuhan.

It should be understood that even if an ordinary person obtains the status of Justice of the Peace, it is usually just a matter of sending someone over randomly.

However, both Gu Zhenguo and Gu Yuhan went to Government House in person, and the Governor personally presented them to them.

This is an attitude.

Last time it was Gu Zhenguo, this time it's Gu Yuhan.

MacLehose personally invited Gu Yuhan to the Hong Kong government, and then, in front of countless reporters, personally awarded Gu Yuhan the medal of Justice of the Peace, personally put it on Gu Yuhan, and then personally gave him words of encouragement.

This demonstrates the extent of the importance attached to it.

Many reporters witnessed Gu Zhenguo becoming a Justice of the Peace last year, and this time they saw Gu Yuhan become a Justice of the Peace.

This is a family of two gentlemen, and the whole family is wealthy.

of course

Besides being a Justice of the Peace, Gu Yuhan actually has another identity, one that is on par with Huo Yingdong.

National Political Member

This identity can completely guarantee Gu Yuhan's influence in China. You wouldn't trade it for a knighthood.

The value of the Gu family in the united front is undeniable.

Currently, he is higher than Huo Yingdong.

Huo Yingdong can only bring capital, while Gu Yuhan brings capital, technology, channels, and also more market planning and construction.

Historically speaking, the Gu family is definitely not as good as the Huo family.

However, if we look at current value, the Gu family definitely surpasses the Huo family.

Following that, Tseung Kwan O was opened to the public.

The opening of the Tseung Kwan O MTR attracted political figures from Hong Kong and mainland China, as well as a large number of Hong Kong citizens.

Last time, Gu Yuhan opened the Tseung Kwan O construction site to the people of Hong Kong for viewing. Now, almost a year has passed, and it will soon be 1981. Gu Yuhan's promise has begun to be fulfilled.

The Tseung Kwan O MTR line has officially opened.

That's really fast enough.

MacLehose was aware that the Gu family had a good relationship with the mainland. In fact, he had already vaguely sensed the mainland's attitude towards Hong Kong. Many Chinese-owned businesses in Hong Kong had contact with the mainland, and the Gu family was one of the best among them.

However, the global landscape has now changed.

China's relationship with the world is getting better and better, especially with the United States, which is in a honeymoon period. Although MacLehose knows this, he won't say anything and just turn a blind eye.

The steel needed for the subway tracks was supplied by mainland China, and the subway cars were also manufactured and designed by mainland China.

Gu Yuhan exercised extremely strict control over these things.

Seeing this, Mak Lei-ho couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

His first impression of the subway was that it was clean.

In addition, there are still some GG (Goblin) stickers placed on the subway handrails, which is also an important source of subway revenue.

When you're on the subway, you feel the speed of the wind.

There was no shaking sensation.

"The subway built by the Gu family is technically and product-wise up to standard!" MacLehose made his judgment.

Yuan Geng, standing to the side, couldn't help but exclaim, "How long has it been? You actually finished repairing it?"

"It wasn't me; some of the workers are from mainland China!"

Gu Yuhan smiled and slowly said, "Moreover, we're using brand-new technology. As I mentioned before, this tunnel boring machine can greatly increase our digging speed, directly boosting it to one thousand meters per day. I used five before, and now I have ten, so the speed will only be faster!"

"Then, Mr. Gu, could we perhaps take a look at this tunnel boring machine?" a middle-aged man asked quickly. "Could it also be used on the mainland?"

Gu Yuhan nodded: "Of course, no problem!"

These political figures from the mainland are now truly shocked, suddenly feeling a huge gap, and naturally experiencing a great sense of loss.

"I wonder when we will be able to produce our own tunnel boring machines!" A political figure from the mainland couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, yes!"

Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "As long as you're willing to study it, it definitely won't be a problem!"

Gu Yuhan was quite confident about this. After all, in the future, there would only be a handful of powerful countries that could sell tunnel boring machines, and one of them was the mainland.

Sitting on this high-speed train.

Several political figures from the mainland kept asking Gu Yuhan a barrage of questions, as they had many doubts in their hearts.

Gu Yuhan patiently provided the answers.

"We designed this subway car and these tracks ourselves?" A mainland political figure couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Previously, mainland China purchased a batch of equipment from the United States, part of which consisted of steel mills and the other part of internal combustion engines. It couldn't be considered world-class equipment, but combining them to produce subway cars wasn't a problem!"

Yuan Geng nodded: "This thing has truly broadened my horizons!"

"I predict that within five years, the MTR will connect the entire Hong Kong!"

Gu Yuhan smiled and continued, "This is just the first step. Later, I think we can definitely try it in Shenzhen, and also in major cities across the country. We can use it as we go, discover its shortcomings, and then make improvements!"

Several people nodded.

One official from mainland China couldn't help but exclaim, "This speed is incredible! So fast, and so convenient!"

Gu Yuhan simply smiled.

His line of thinking remained unchanged: "Boss, this is my view: although we have absorbed some Western technology, we still need to abandon the idea that 'it's better to sell than to be early'!"

"Let me give you an example. Take this tunnel boring machine of mine, for instance. I bought one before for about 50 million. Last year, when I came to buy it again, they quoted me 80 million. They said, 'Take it or leave it!'"

Many people frowned upon hearing Gu Yuhan's words.

"Then, when the tunnel boring machine broke down and we sought help from a foreign manufacturer, guess what they said to me? Two words: inflate the price."

"I had a tunnel boring machine that was originally second-hand. I sold an old tunnel boring machine at the price of a new one, and even added 100% to the price of the parts. Just because an imported tunnel boring machine didn't hold the segments properly, the other party didn't care about the specific situation and demanded 300 million yuan for repairs."

At this point, Gu Yuhan was also full of complaints: "Even so, when the foreign experts were doing maintenance, they had to put up a cordon to prevent us from getting close to watch, for fear that they would steal our technology."

"This is too much!" Yuan Geng couldn't help but say angrily.

"So!" Gu Yuhan slowly began, "I desperately hope that there will be a domestic alternative, at least that way I won't have to be at their mercy!"

At this point, Gu Yuhan continued, "You tell me, is the gap between China and other countries big? Actually, it's not that big. I think if we can do some serious research, we can achieve breakthroughs in our technology. That way, I won't have to be at their mercy anymore!"

"Although the West has sold us a lot of things, there are still many things that aren't so wonderful. I really think we need to develop our own things, absorb their technology, and turn it into our own!"

"Furthermore, we will encounter another problem: we will experience malfunctions. This is an experience and a lesson learned, but what's tragic is that because we don't have our own technology, this experience and lesson become someone else's. They can further improve and upgrade the tunnel boring machine, and then we will have to spend even more money to buy their equipment. The experience and lessons we have painstakingly gained have completely become someone else's. It's truly a tragedy!"

Gu Yuhan promotes this kind of content whenever he has a spare moment, at least to make some people take it seriously and avoid being fooled by the West.

……

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, the person mainly in charge of Hong Kong Island was still his father, Gu Zhenguo.

MacLehose was very satisfied with the successful construction of the subway.

When the Koo family was brought in to take over the Hong Kong MTR, MacLehose faced considerable pressure. This was mainly because the Chinese community lacked experience in this area, and many questioned the Koo family's capabilities, even suspecting whether they had any improper dealings with the Governor of Hong Kong.

Finally, MacLehose simply had the ICAC investigate him personally to prove that he had absolutely no relationship with the Koo family.

Now, the subway is open.

MacLehose immediately felt a significant reduction in the pressure on him, especially since the speed was both fast and steady.

This also earned high praise from Ma Lihao.

The subway is open!

For Hong Kong residents, the opening of the Tseung Kwan O MTR was also a very exciting event.

For just five dollars, you can drive directly to Tseung Kwan O.

It's only been a little over a year, and they've actually finished repairing the subway.

This speed of 1.4 degrees is really fast.

Moreover, this subway is both fast and stable.

Many Hong Kong tycoons have realized a major problem: if this trend continues, property prices in Tseung Kwan O will really skyrocket.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that there's a Gu family in Tseung Kwan O means that the area's development will definitely not be inferior.

When facing reporters' interviews, Gu Zhenguo remained calm and composed, smiling as he said, "Dear reporters, as you have all seen, this is our subway. I said last year that we would form a Hong Kong subway network within five years, and now, the opening of the Tseung Kwan O subway line is a positive publicity for us!"

Gu Zhenguo continued, "Last year, many people questioned whether a subway network could be formed in Hong Kong within five years. But now, I can tell every citizen of Hong Kong with absolute certainty that we can definitely do it within five years, not only can we do it, but we can do it well!"

"It will soon be 1981, and we will have entered the 1980s. Five years from now, I hope everyone can wait and see if Hong Kong's subway network can be formed, and whether our Gu family can fulfill its promise!" Gu Zhenguo's words were naturally full of domineering confidence.

After all, Hong Kong is progressing at an incredibly fast pace.

The speed of development in Tseung Kwan O is now vastly different from what it used to be.

Three years ago, this place was deserted, with a population of only 10,000.

But now, Tseung Kwan O has become one of the most prosperous areas in Hong Kong. The buildings here are still much taller than those in Central. Moreover, the plazas and shopping malls that Gu Yuhan built here are basically larger than those in Central.

Central was developed early and is overcrowded. Although many residential buildings, shopping malls and hotels have been developed in the city, the overall planning is not very reasonable.

However, Gu Yuhan began to devote a lot of effort to Tseung Kwan O.

On the one hand, the traffic of cars is taken into consideration, and on the other hand, attention is paid to building commercial streets, pedestrian streets, and food streets, so as to maintain the quality of a big city as much as possible while also preserving the local flavor.

The collaboration with the Kadoorie family quickly resolved the electricity issue in Tseung Kwan O.

This naturally attracted a large number of Hong Kong residents to migrate there.

After all, the prosperity here is no less than that of Central, and the housing prices here are only one-third of those in Central. Of course, that was last year. This year, the low prices in Tseung Kwan O have also started to skyrocket at an extremely terrifying rate.

With the influx of a large population, Tseung Kwan O quickly became prosperous.

The subway makes commuting convenient, and the presence of Gu Yuhan's Guangming Group here has also created numerous job opportunities.

Although Gu Yuhan has moved many of his businesses to the mainland, this does not mean a reduction in job opportunities; rather, it means that jobs are increasingly being moved to other industries.

It's practically impossible for Hong Kong's manufacturing industry to develop. After all, labor costs are constantly rising, and there's no industrial chain. Hong Kong's geographical location and special status determine that its manufacturing industry is destined to be absorbed by the mainland. This applies not only to Hong Kong but also to the Four Asian Tigers.

The dominant industries in Hong Kong in the future will still be trade and logistics.

Although finance, tourism, and services are also pillar industries, they still rely on Hong Kong's trade and logistics. Hong Kong is a natural deep-water port that does not accumulate silt, and within a five-hour flight radius, it covers half of the world's population.

This place is not suitable for manufacturing, but it is very suitable as a port for transporting goods.

Gu Yuhan acquired Hutchison Whampoa, and Jardine Matheson mainly focuses on developing these areas. Under Gu Yuhan's guidance and requirements, the entire company's planning, implementation, and control of the transportation and storage of goods, services, and related information from their origin to their destination has been greatly improved.

It also enables trading companies to have close connections with logistics activities. As the world's busiest and most efficient international container port, it is a place to develop regional or transnational logistics and supply chain businesses.

There's no way around it, Hong Kong's geographical location is indeed too advantageous. Otherwise, why would the British insist on the Qing Dynasty ceding Hong Kong in the first place?

This geographical location can create enormous opportunities for industrial production, transportation and logistics.

Although manufacturing has shifted to the mainland, it has not reduced employment in Hong Kong. On the contrary, the concentration of people in Hong Kong has given rise to more industries, such as snacks and entertainment.

Tseung Kwan O has now become a gathering place for the vast majority of young people.

Previously, the most prosperous area was the film studio area, but now it has expanded to the entire Tseung Kwan O area.

However, for the vast majority of Hong Kong residents, this area has become a district that is no less impressive than Central. Moreover, Gu Yuhan spared no expense in planning it, creating numerous shopping malls and schools in preparation for attracting people.

With the sound of the subway wailing, Tseung Kwan O subway line opened.

More and more Hong Kong residents began to flock to Tseung Kwan O.

The prices in Tseung Kwan O also change three times a day.

"At this rate, the population of Tseung Kwan O will soon exceed 500,000!" Huo Jianning looked at the financial statements in his hand and said to Gu Yuhan, "Boss, our properties are basically sold out. Our prices have increased at least twenty times compared to when they were first built!"

"Twenty times?"

Gu Yuhan took the financial statements from Huo Jianning, a smile appearing on her face: "Not bad!"

"Fortunately, we didn't rush to sell all the houses last year. Based on this situation, it seems we can still continue development!" Huo Jianning said with a wry smile, "One-seventh of Hong Kong's population has come. I'm now worried that Tseung Kwan O can't handle such a large population!"

"I don't think there's a big problem!" Gu Yuhan smiled. "This population is definitely not a small number!"

Huo Jianning smiled and continued, "Boss, do you think we should stock up a bit more? I think property prices will only go higher in the future!"

Gu Yuhan shook his head slightly: "I think that's unnecessary. Leaving one or two communities is enough. Next, what we need to do is provide good service and try to get these Hong Kong residents to spend money here!"

Huo Jianning nodded again, then said, "Understood. So, should we acquire a few more plots of land?"

Now, the subway project is completely in Gu Yuhan's hands; he can decide where to make money with just a word.

Gu Yuhan took a deep breath and continued, "No need. We've already reached agreements with many people, and there's no point in going back on our word. We'll continue cooperating with them and let them earn every penny they're entitled to!"

Huo Jianning nodded: "Understood!"

Gu Yuhan has always been thinking about how to make the pie bigger and stronger; he has no intention of keeping it all to himself.

Business partnerships are not about being the strongest and everything being fine; rather, they require forming a community of shared interests where everyone cooperates to create a market.

Rather than forcing himself to make the decisions, Gu Yuhan prefers to establish principles and rules that everyone should abide by.

envy!

Many people were already filled with envy when they saw the income of the Gu family.

Many businessmen idolize Gu Yuhan to the point of worship.

Many Hong Kong residents also remarked that Gu Jia earns a lot of money.

However, most people really don't have much of a temper.

After all, Gu Yuhan is really not short of money, and he is cooperating with you to develop the subway, which will allow you to make a fortune. What is this?

This guy is practically a god of wealth.

Basically, Gu Yuhan refused to cooperate with Li Jiacheng and He Sheng.

Gu Yuhan refuses to cooperate with those who oppose him, but he is happy to cooperate with others.

During this time, Gu Yuhan also developed increasingly better relationships with many wealthy individuals.

When it comes to cooperating with the Kadoorie family, shipping magnates, Fok Ying-tung, and He Xian, Gu Yuhan is truly decisive.

At Guangming Group, Gu Yuhan was chatting with Huo Yingdong.

"Land prices have increased twentyfold!" Huo Yingdong couldn't help but exclaim, "Ayu, you've really struck gold this time!"

"This is all small change!"

Gu Yuhan smiled and continued, "To be honest, I don't want to keep pursuing the real estate business, and I certainly don't want to rely solely on being a landlord to make money. I hope to contribute to technological advancement. What I truly desire is to be able to produce our own tunnel boring machines and lithography machines!"

Huo Yingdong looked at Gu Yuhan with some surprise, then smiled and said, "Young people are so much better. I rarely hear others mention these kinds of ideas. They usually talk to me about doing various businesses. But you, you're thinking about developing technology?"

"I not only think that way, but I also do it!"

Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "Last year, my televisions already surpassed those of Japan. I believe that in the future, I can create even more and better products!"

Huo Yingdong was at a loss for words at this moment.

The biggest problem with Gu Yuhan is that you might think he's just bragging, but in reality, almost all of his boasts have come true.

To be honest, the wealth and status of the entire Hong Kong is not even close to that of Gu Yuhan.

Although Huo Yingdong has an excellent relationship with the mainland now, if you were to ask him whether the mainland's economy could rank second in the world in forty years, he would most likely not believe it.

If you ask him about the technological achievements of mainland China, he probably won't be able to see them either.

However, Gu Yuhan was a time traveler who witnessed all of this firsthand. In his heart, he didn't have much of a sense of sanctity towards Western civilization; he saw it as nothing more than technologically advanced, something that would eventually be surpassed.

Of course, Gu Yuhan doesn't expect other wealthy people in Hong Kong to be like him, but at least he doesn't mind being the leader and letting more people see that making money isn't just about real estate; technology can also be profitable.

"I'm really looking forward to it!" Huo Yingdong laughed, then quickly added, "Ayu, let's continue talking about the subway!"

When it comes to technology, even Huo Yingdong is clueless.

Gu Yuhan simply smiled and said, "Okay!"

Guangming Film Industry

Gu Yuhan was looking at the financial statements that Zhou Jun had given her.

"Did Panasonic come to you to play GG?" Gu Yuhan asked casually.

"Yes!" Zhou Jun blurted out, "Boss, do you think I should refuse?"

"No need. The film and television industry needs to make its own money!" Gu Yuhan smiled and said slowly, "It's foolish not to make money if it's available. As long as the price is reasonable and it doesn't violate our principles, we can accept their failure!"

This is also Gu Yuhan's consistent approach.

The company also has its own profit centers. When it comes to things like GG, whoever pays the most gets to do it. We can't force someone to take over our GG just because Gu Yuhan orders us to.

I took a quick look at Panasonic's GG (Golden Age).

Gu Yuhan couldn't help but laugh: "Panasonic's TVs are huge this year too?"

"Hmm!" Zhou Jun nodded. "It seems they've developed a 30-inch model. The TV is huge; it looks like they want to compete with you, boss, in the market!"

"Hong Kong is practically my stronghold. It's understandable that they want to storm in and completely defeat me on my home turf!" Gu Yuhan smiled and continued, "However, beating me won't be that easy!"

Zhou Jun chuckled and then said, "I don't think it's anything special. How could they possibly be a match for you, boss!"

Gu Yuhan hummed in agreement.

Zhou Jun couldn't help but ask, "Boss, you look very tired?"

"Having too many women around me is a troublesome problem!" Gu Yuhan opened his eyes and said helplessly, "Do you know how crazy these women around me are?"

Zhou Jun couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't this good?"

"good?"

Gu Yuhan leaned back in his chair, saying helplessly, "You have no idea what kind of life I'm living right now!"

The competition among the females was so fierce that they all seemed to want to devour each other alive.

Although she was able to win every time, Gu Yuhan was truly helpless because everyone wanted to get pregnant and have children as soon as possible.

My father is completely out of control. One woman after another is drawn to me, and they've even started forming factions and alliances, each one trying to squeeze every last drop of blood out of me.

Having too many women can also be a problem.
