A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 312 Humiliation
Hong Kong Island, New Territories.

Kadoorie Farm.

Horace Kadoorie looked at the young man brought by his nephew Michael in surprise and said with a smile: "Tangyuan, right? Do you have anything to do with me?"

He knew Li Xing.

Li Xing smiled and said: "Grandpa Helix, it was my father who sent a telegram to ask for your help."

Helix said "Wow" and said, "Li? How is he now? I haven't seen him for a while. He is an interesting person. I miss him."

Mi Gao smiled and said: "Uncle, do you miss the nine-turn large intestine made by Li?"

Horace laughed loudly and said, "That's right. Li... is really an indescribable partner. If he didn't always play tricks on people, he would be a perfect person."

Mi Gao patted Li Xing on the shoulder and said, "Li's son is the person you said. Uncle, Li Xing needs your help."

He Lishi patted the dirt on his hands and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Li Xing smiled and said: "Grandpa Helix, my father sent a telegram and wanted to ask you for advice on large-scale modern pig raising technology."

He Lishi laughed and said: "Li, what is he going to do? Is he going to raise pigs on Hong Kong Island?"

Li Xing said hurriedly: "No, it's in the mainland. Most people in the mainland can't even eat a pound of meat a year. My father hopes to do something to change the status quo."

He Lishi said: "Tangyuan, the pig-raising technology of Kadoorie Farm is imported from Denmark. You know, Denmark is a famous pig-raising kingdom. There are more pigs than people in the country, and each person can share five pigs on average. Their pig-raising The technology is also the most advanced in the world.”

Li Xing sighed: "If you have the chance, you must go and have a look."

Horace smiled and said: "You are a good boy. Come on, let's go to the pig house and have a look... there may be some smell, do you mind?"

Li Xing smiled and said: "Of course not. Grandpa Helix, I grew up in a rural area when I was a child, and I also fed pigs."

He Lishi laughed and said: "I know that the pigs raised in captivity in rural areas of northern China...the raising methods here may be different."

Mi Gao hesitated for a moment, but still felt that as an elder, it was not easy to leave his eldest nephew alone.

Fortunately, I made preparations before coming.

He proudly took out two cotton balls from his pocket, stuffed them into his nostrils, and followed.

……

Looking at the tall and bright pigsty in front of him, the pigs grunted in the room-like pig pens. They changed their clothes and even put on headgear, gloves, and footmuffs. After passing the disinfection room, Li Xing said in surprise: "Grandpa Horace, with so many pigs, how many people do we need to feed them?"

Helix smiled and said, "Guess."

Li Xing said: "One hundred workers?"

Horace shook his head and said with a smile: "There are always 26 pigs in the farm pig house, which requires [-] workers to breed. In fact, it is already very backward because the supporting facilities are not complete. In Denmark, on average, [-] pigs only need three Workers come to feed, and there is already a big gap here. Their place is highly developed, and every link is very mature. For example, feed includes protein feed, energy feed, roughage, green feed, silage, and mineral feed. Feeds and feed additives are also divided into complete feeds, concentrates, premixes, etc. The types of feeds are adjusted according to different stages of pig production."

Li Xingxun asked humbly: "Grandpa Helix, if the classification is so detailed, will the cost be much higher than that of pigs raised by small families?"

Helishi shook his head and said: "Although the investment is very large, the overall cost may be lower. Because modern feeding methods usually use more efficient feed and feed management methods, as well as more reasonable building designs, such as environmental control and ventilation. and lighting, etc. Furthermore, large-scale and intensive breeding methods can significantly reduce the cost of raising a single pig."

Li Xing asked again: "What are the major areas of expenditure?"

He Lishi said: "Including the construction of modern pig houses, the purchase of advanced equipment, as well as feed and veterinary requirements. However, although the labor cost of artificial free-range breeding in the past was lower, backward feeding methods can also lead to feed waste. and disease issues.”

Mi Gao nodded and said: "Swine fever, that's really scary."

"Shut your beak!"

Horace cursed.

Li Xing couldn't help but laughed.

How could anyone mention these two words in a pig farm...

After He Lishi finished scolding, he said to Li Xing: "Tangyuan, this is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. If your father really needs these skills, he can send someone to learn them, especially veterinarians. This is so important."

Li Xing said happily: "Thank you, Grandpa Helishi. As for the cost... I need to give my father a rough figure. You must not be polite, because this may be between him and China Resources Company, as well as the local farmers. Three-way cooperation.”

He Lishi smiled and said, "Okay then, I'll tell you after I have someone figure it out."

Li Xing and Mi Gao said goodbye and left. On the way back to Qingyi Island, Mi Gao asked Li Xing concernedly: "Tangyuan, your reputation has been quite good recently. I read statistics from Sing Bao and Economic Daily. In recent years, your family has You have been buying gold in a low-key manner. You went to the gold and silver trade market to buy gold when you were 15 years old. Was it your father who asked you to buy gold? "

There was nothing to hide from Mi Gao. Li Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Mi Gao, our family started to have gold in [-]. In addition to acquiring part of the old Tang Dynasty, the money we made in the stock market in [-] Outside the building, most of it was bought for gold.”

Michael screamed strangely: "Wow~Fake! 35? "Sing Pao" said that gold was only [-] US dollars an ounce in [-], right?"

Li Xing nodded, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said: "Yeah, it was only 35 US dollars an ounce in [-], but at that time, I didn't eat much, mainly invested in the stock market. Uncle Michael, thank you .”

Mi Gao's face turned green and he said: "Choose! Your father also borrowed a large amount of money from our family! He made a lot of money in the stock market, and later he made a short sale... Tangyuan, you won't tell me , all the money was used to buy gold later, right?”

Li Xing chuckled and said: "Except for a small part that was used to buy old tenement buildings and a part that was used to buy real estate stocks, most of it was used to buy gold. In [-], it rose to one hundred dollars per ounce. It has been rising for the next three years, but not that much, and it has also given our family the opportunity to sneak in. But from [-] to now, the growth curve has jumped up, and this year it has risen to US$[-] per ounce. .”

Mi Gao exclaimed: "Then you still want to buy it? This price is really too high."

Li Xingdao: "My father said that as long as the Cold War between the United States and Maozi continues, and the possibility of a world war still exists, the trend of gold will not fall too much, and there is no big problem in eating it." Mi Gao laughed. Said: "No wonder Shark Dantong asked my dad to help me get some gold from your family when Shark Dantong had tea with him yesterday. The price of gold has soared, and Zhou Dasheng shipped out the goods too fast. Their family is a little overwhelmed."

Li Xing chuckled and said: "If you eat, I can make the decision myself. If you give out, my father will nod. But if you, Grandpa Roland and Uncle Michael, say something, I will definitely give out some."

Mi Gao glanced at him and said with a smile: "You kid... no need, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and your family has no relationship with the Zheng family." After saying that, he glanced at Li Xing again and said, "I don't have anything to do with you, dad." I'm envious, even though he has four beloved wives...Okay, I'm still a little envious at this point. But what makes me jealous the most is that he has a good son like you. Feili can't compare to you, and Natalie is too Xiao, you can’t be my son-in-law, oh, it’s so sad.”

"Hahaha! Come on! By the way, Uncle Michael, I heard that George Sassoon came to Hong Kong Island, right?"

Li Xing asked with a smile.

Mi Gao became a little nervous and said: "Tangyuan, don't act rashly. The power of the HSBC consortium in Hong Kong Island is beyond your imagination. Even if you want to do something, you have to wait until your father comes back. You are still young, you are old Dou is not here, and your whole family is on Hong Kong Island. If something big happens, you can’t cover it up now."

"...Okay. Uncle Michael, don't worry, I know the severity."

Li Xing looked out the window with some regret. He knew that his father really didn't have the slightest affection for anyone in this family.

So does he.

But, as Mi Gao said, he can't cover it up yet.

However, Li Xing didn't expect that if he didn't provoke others, others would still care about him.

That afternoon, he received a specially sent invitation letter from HSBC Bank.

The pattern printed on the surface of the invitation is the symbol of the Sassoon family:

Shenghai Sassoon Building.

……

"Although the Hong Kong government no longer had to hand over finances to the UK 20 years ago, and it seemed to give the Hong Kong government complete financial autonomy, in fact the most profitable industries on Hong Kong Island have always been controlled by British consortiums, especially the financial industry."

"Hong Kong Island has also given birth to outstanding Chinese-owned banks, such as Hang Seng Bank. In [-], outstanding Chinese businessmen such as Lin Bingyan and He Shanheng established Hang Seng Bank. Over the past few decades, it has been particularly friendly to Chinese businessmen and has developed into the largest Chinese businessman. Bank. As a result, the banking crisis broke out in [-], and there were constant rumors in the newspapers that were unfavorable to Hang Seng Bank. Even though Hang Seng Bank put the Hong Kong dollar code on a wall in the lobby, under the manipulation of thoughtful people, it still could not stop the run. . Within ten days, [-] million Hong Kong dollars in deposits were lost. That was sixty-five years ago... For a private bank, this was a fatal disaster."

Forty-nine cities, the capital compound, after dinner, Li Yuan and Qin Daxue talked about the story of Hong Kong Island.

Qin Daxue frowned and said, "Is it possible that someone wants to annex Hengsheng?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Of course, for no reason. There are no omissions or major problems in Hang Seng's own operations, and there is no secret trouble. How could such a dead situation happen? HSBC bought the most valuable asset of the Chinese Bank at a price of 5000 million. assets, and also eliminated the most threatening rival in Hong Kong Island’s banking industry, establishing its monopoly advantage in Hong Kong Island’s banking retail industry. A few years later, Hang Seng Bank was listed with a market capitalization of HK$16 billion and continued to appreciate. In fact, money It’s a small matter, but after this, there is no more successful Chinese-owned bank in Hong Kong, not even a slight threat to HSBC. It’s clear who is behind the scenes.”

Qin Daxue was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said slowly: "A century of national humiliation. The right to issue Hong Kong dollars is still in the hands of HSBC, right?"

Li Yuan said "yes" and said: "Behind the Huifeng family is the Sassoon family, a Jewish family that made its fortune selling pornographic films. Half of the pornographic films imported to China in the late Qing Dynasty were imported by this family. Even Even the outbreak of the Yapian War was promoted by this family behind the scenes. Later, they did real estate business in Shenghai. At that time, one-fifth of the high-rise buildings in Shenghai were owned by the Sassoon family. In front of Shenghai, they all took action, took away a huge amount of wealth, and retreated to Hong Kong Island."

Qin Daxue looked at Li Yuan in surprise and said with a smile: "You didn't kill the New Year Pig again?"

She knew that after July [-]th, Li Yuan did a lot of things before leaving.

Li Yuan said helplessly: "This family has been hidden underwater, just like some wealthy families in the West. They hide their wealth in dazzling equity crosses. The current major shareholders of HSBC Bank basically cannot see the Sassoon family. The shadow of HSBC's current chief executive, Chen Bi, is a very capable figure. He has single-handedly supported a series of Chinese tycoons such as Li Jiacheng and Pao Yugang, making HSBC's power in Hong Kong almost dominant.

Hong Kong Island citizens, the most favorite stock to buy now is HSBC Bank.

Furthermore, my skills have been registered with the security departments of various countries.

If I don't take action, they will all be afraid of me and dare not do anything to the Li family. Xiao'e and the children will be safe.

Once I take action, it will be equivalent to being the first to declare war.

Of course, this doesn't mean it's a dead end.

Find an opportunity and use firearms to kill a few Sassoons outside Hong Kong Island. It won't be a big problem.There was no evidence and they had nothing to say.

They also know this, so they don’t dare to offend our family easily. "

Qin Daxue said: "It's already amazing. One sword can stop a million soldiers, just like a legendary novel. Do you think the country knows about your ability?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "The more this level is, the more everyone will choose to act within the rules. You are moral, and I am moral. Using proper business methods, I don't care whether I win or lose. It's not like I can't lose." The one who got up.

But if anyone wants to use extraordinary means, I guarantee that he will die miserably.In this case, I have nothing to worry about. "

……

[-]pm, Peninsula Hotel.

Li Xing was an hour late, and after finishing his homework at the University of Hong Kong, he hurried over with He Pingshi.

But he did not go to the sixth floor to keep the appointment. Instead, he left together after having a dinner in the restaurant on the first floor.

Sitting in the passenger seat of Li Xing's broken Gundam, He Pingshi looked at the man with his collar open and casually blowing the evening breeze, her heart and eyes were filled with him.

After visiting Hong Kong and Kowloon several times, who else dares to humiliate the Sassoon family like this?
