A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 185 Rewards
After work, Cao Zhihua took Lou Xiaoe directly to Lou Bancheng's home in Deep Water Bay.

Since a war is about to begin, the family must ventilate the air first to avoid instability in the rear.

Loubancheng is also very busy every day now. TV equipment is arriving on Hong Kong Island one after another.
He needs to handle all aspects of the company's personnel recruitment, program production, signal tower installation, and interpersonal relationships.

When Cao Zhihua and Lou Xiao'e arrived at Lou's house, Lou's mother was still leading a group of people from the education sector to inspect the construction site of Repulse Bay School.
Two concubines from Lou Bancheng are also chic at the Victoria's Secret Club.

There was no one at home, so Cao Zhihua went directly to Lou's garden and looked at the decoration of his own house next door.

My own building, No. 79 Deep Water Bay, looks like the foundation, revetment walls, and walls have all been completed.
The two houses only have a lot of load-bearing columns on the ground, and the construction has not started yet.

Cao Zhihua estimates that it will take at least the second half of next year when the house is completed and meets the habitable standards.

Simply speaking, Cao Zhihua was not in a hurry to move in. He would either not do it or do it the best he could.

The design of the entire house was decided by Cao Zhihua. The house is a Mediterranean castle with a modern villa style. It is a modern sea view castle style that combines the advantages of all aspects.
Floor-to-ceiling windows, balconies, sunrooms, large terraces, and indoor gardens have been expanded. Cao Zhihua uses bulletproof glass for all the glass in his home.

The indoor and outdoor double swimming pools, especially the outdoor infinity swimming pool, have an infinite view and a sense of beauty that combines with the sea.

The entire villa is surrounded by mountains on two sides, and one side is the entrance. Cao Zhihua built an explosion-proof cement wall one meter thick and five meters high.
Only the side facing the sea is unobstructed. This ensures that except for Lou's house across the ravine, outsiders cannot see anything inside the villa.

When you live in a villa, you can also enjoy the unparalleled sea view and the artificial garden at home.

Cao Zhihua pinched his chin, and finally decided to talk to Xie Wenjun tomorrow and build a wall to block the view of Lou's house from the direction of his own home.

Otherwise, if I build a swimming pool ladder in the future, everyone in the Lou family will see it, which is not good at all.

Cao Zhihua took the Blue Mountain coffee delivered by the servant and walked around the Lou family's garden while drinking it.

What Cao Zhihua thinks is bad about Lou's garden is that it doesn't face the sea view.

This made Cao Zhihua, who usually likes to relax in front of the sea view when he has nothing to do at home, a little uncomfortable.

Not long after, Cao Zhihua saw Lou Bancheng's motorcade entering the gate of Lou's house, so he went directly to the living room of Lou's house to wait for Lou Bancheng.

After Lou Bancheng walked into the living room, he found that Cao Zhihua and Lou Xiao'e were both there, and said in surprise:

"Ezi, Zhihua, why are you here today?"

Cao Zhihua smiled and said to Lou Bancheng:

"I came here today mainly to talk to dad about something."

Lou Bancheng knew that his daughter and son-in-law would never come to him except during holidays, so he nodded and said directly:
"Then let's talk in the study."

Cao Zhihua pulled Lou Xiao'e to stand up and said with a smile:
"Okay, Dad, let's go to the study."

When I came to Lou Bancheng's study, the study was all made of mahogany furniture, antique style, antique, and very comfortable to stay in.

After the servants served tea to the three of them, Lou Bancheng said:
"Zhihua, what do you want to talk about?"

Cao Zhihua glanced at Lou Xiao'e. Things happened in such a hurry that even Lou Xiao'e didn't know the specific situation. Cao Zhihua only gave a rough idea on the way to Lou's house, so Cao Zhihua said:
"Qi Dezun from Hutchison Matheson called me this morning and made an appointment with me to go to the Peninsula Hotel in the afternoon to discuss cooperation.

When I arrived at the Peninsula Hotel in the afternoon, I found that all the senior executives from the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong were there.

Two things were discussed specifically. One was the material production chain.

You know, I've been busy with this lately,
Instigated by Hang Lung Group's Chen Zengxi, the four major foreign banks are also preparing to enter this industry.

However, the scale of this industry is not large now, and I have made arrangements in advance to block all the roads that should be blocked.

They didn’t dare to get involved anymore, so they wanted to sell me a good deal.

The second thing is more serious. They want the production authorization and sales agency rights of Zhihua Clothing.

I didn't agree, so John Madden from Wheelock threatened me directly.
You also know that I also have a bad temper. How could I be so angry?
So he just walked away.

But this matter has just begun. Neither these foreign companies nor I will let it go. So I came here today mainly to talk to you and ask you to be careful recently and don't let these white-skinned people find a breakthrough here. . "

When Lou Bancheng heard what Cao Zhihua said, he seemed to be unable to hold back the anger in his heart. He let out a heavy "hum" and said:
"That's too much bullying. What do these idiots want to do? Rob?"

Cao Zhihua understood Lou Bancheng's anger. He couldn't stand it, let alone Lou Bancheng, so he said:
“Dad, don’t be angry, this group of people used to like extortion and thought everyone would fall for it.

But this doesn't work for me.

I'm not bragging, it's just a business war. The four of them combined are just enough to compete with me.

Unless HSBC goes out of business, they have no chance of winning.

As for HSBC, I am certain that they will act as peacemakers at best and will never step in on their own. "

Lou Bancheng was not as optimistic as Cao Zhihua. After thinking about it carefully, he asked:
"Are you planning to attack four foreign companies at the same time?"

Cao Zhihua shook his head and said:

"That's definitely not the case. If you do it this way, it will cause too much noise, and there will be more uncontrollable factors and it will not end well.

My real target this time is Hang Lung Group. Since I dare to play games, I plan to make it impossible for him to survive in Hong Kong Island this time and let him know the consequences of playing games randomly.

As for the four major foreign banks, my initial idea is to select one, focus on a certain industry, and hurt them all at once to let them know that they have no qualifications to be arrogant in front of me, and they can just teach them a lesson.

Because if I hit him too hard, the top management would definitely intervene and mediate.

Since there is no way to kill a foreign company in one go, we simply take this opportunity and let Wheelock bleed a lot and make him feel the pain. "

After Lou Bancheng listened to Cao Zhihua's words, he looked at Cao Zhihua with appreciation and said:

"Zhihua, I think you chose your goal very well, and when you implement it, no matter what method you use, I think it's already very good.

By cracking down on these two companies, we can not only warn the jackals staring at us and teach us a lesson, but also reasonably realize our strength.

I think it's good, and we welcome Wheelock to fight back against us. The more he fights back, the more reason we have to bleed him more. "

Lou Bancheng is still more scheming. If he offends someone, he will do it to death.
If Wheelock doesn't resist, Cao Zhihua might as well go too far. If he resists, Cao Zhihua can use more resources and means.

"Dad, I'm afraid that when I take action, they will jump over the wall.
I have analyzed it carefully and there should be no loopholes on my side that can be exploited by the other party.

The only thing I'm worried about is that they will use some means on you, so think about what loopholes you need to fix, and let's find a way to fix them together. "

When Lou Bancheng heard Cao Zhihua's words, he began to think deeply. After a while, Lou Bancheng shook his head and said:

"No, there shouldn't be any loopholes here. Except for the TV station, the newspaper company and radio company here have very little investment and can't control me. As for the TV station, it hasn't officially started broadcasting yet. The worst is, I will delay the start of the broadcast. Just a while.

As for other means, I believe they dare not use them. After all, our family has not just arrived in Hong Kong Island. We have very few connections in all aspects, especially in the media.

With our current reputations, I believe no one in the Hong Kong government would dare to let go.

As for the underworld methods, if you can prevent them, and arrange some bodyguards for your mother and aunt, I think it won't be a big problem. "

As a lady of the family, Lou Xiao'e is indeed Cao Zhihua's best helper. She always supports the man unconditionally when he does things.I thought this conflict might have a serious impact on the family, but Lou Xiao'e didn't say a word throughout the whole process and fully supported Cao Zhihua's decision.

After Cao Zhihua finished talking with Lou Bancheng, he didn't eat at Lou's house and went home directly with Lou Xiao'e.

Cao Zhihua and Lou Xiao'e arrived home, and Chen Xueru and Shen Jing were already there.

Cao Zhihua called the two women together and after explaining clearly what happened today to them, he completely relaxed.

After the family had a rich dinner, Cao Zhihua came to rest on a beach chair by the swimming pool.

In fact, Cao Zhihua has never been a person who likes the most excitement.

After all, as the supporter of several women and children in the family, Cao Zhihua prefers stable development and life.

But not causing trouble does not mean that you are afraid of trouble. When trouble comes, people will uproot themselves, and Cao Zhihua's character determines to respond with all his strength.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He suddenly wanted to drink, so he ordered:
"Li Rong, I want to check how your recent music and dance studies are going.

Go and call everyone out, change your costumes, and perform for us.
Shanshan, go and open some bottles of Romanee-Conti. I want to drink some wine. "

"Okay, sir, but we have only learned two songs and one dance now."

Cao Zhihua chuckled and said:
"That's fine, just follow what you learned."

"Okay, sir."

Lou Xiao'e, Chen Xueru, and Shen Jing were greeted by Cao Zhihua and quickly came to sit down by the swimming pool and said:

"Sir, why are you so good today?"

Cao Zhihua turned over lazily and said:

"Jingjing, you have such a big belly now. Aren't you too tired with such a big belly? Do you want to go back to the room to rest first?"

Lou Xiao'e is also a good housekeeper, and the women in Cao Zhihua's house get along well with each other. Each of them is responsible for a business and has never blushed.

So now Shen Jing has a big belly, but she is the baby of the whole family. Because of her pregnancy, Shen Jing's motherly glory is getting heavier and heavier. She has less and less energy left over from her hard work in the market. It makes her happy to hear that everyone cares about her. He didn’t refuse and said with a smile:
"Okay, it's rare that I'm in the mood today, so I'll ask my two sisters to have fun with him."

Chen Xueru is most interested in drinking. In the past, in Sijiu City, she had to drink two glasses of white wine every night before she could fall asleep.

Now that I have arrived in Hong Kong, I have a career and someone to accompany me, so I drink less.
From the beginning, I didn’t really like red wine, but then I drank some red wine while running the club.

Instead, I started to like red wine and red wine culture.

At home, Chen Xueru is the only one who likes to drink, so Cao Zhihua doesn't want to drink at ordinary times, and Chen Xueru rarely drinks at home at night.

After a while, the 20 little maids at home, after changing into various new cheongsam performance clothes, began to move various musical instruments to the swimming pool.

Cao Zhihua picked up the glass goblet and clinked the glasses with Chen Xueru and Lou Xiaoe, then began to taste the wine carefully.

Now Cao Zhihua's living habits are very good. He has to eat some oranges, apples, oranges and other digestive fruits after dinner in the evening.

Cao Zhihua, Lou Xiao'e, and Chen Xueru drank red wine with fruits, which also had a unique flavor.

After a while, after all the maids were in place, Liu Lirong stood up and said:

"Master, mistress, and second wife, the first song is performed by Li Rong's group for you. The song is "I love you so much that I can't express it in my heart. Please enjoy it."

Cao Zhihua said expectantly:

"Very good, Li Rong, sir, I'm cheering for you."

Liu Lirong smiled sweetly and said:

"Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely work hard."

Liu Lirong returned to her seat, and music with various musical instruments started playing. After the prelude, Liu Lirong's young and crisp voice came out:

"Oh...ah...I love you so much that I can't express it in my heart."
I don't know what to say

Oh...I love you so much that I can't express it in my heart
Oh...heh...I won't see you for a day
It's like there's something missing around me

Oh...I love you so much that I can't express it in my heart
. . . . . . . . . "

The three of Cao Zhihua drank wine and listened to the performances of the ten girls in Liu Lirong's group, feeling very comfortable.

After Liu Lirong's group finished their performance, Cao Zhihua and the other three applauded fiercely.

"Not bad, very good. I didn't expect that in such a short time, Li Rong and your group performed this song so perfectly. It's very good.

Moreover, Li Rong, your singing voice is very beautiful, and you will be more than enough to become a popular singer in the future. "

When Liu Lirong heard Cao Zhihua's compliment, her face turned red and she was very happy and said:
"Master, I don't want to be a singer. From now on, I just want to serve you."

Cao Zhigang smiled happily and said:

"Okay, okay, okay, my little Lirong will follow you and serve you from now on."

Liu Lirong felt sweet in her heart and said with a smile on her face:

"Master, next is the Shanshan group's performance."

Cao Zhihua faced Liu Lirong with both hands and said:
"Okay, Shanshan's group will perform. Come into my arms and I will give you a hug."

Although Liu Lirong was happy, she looked at Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru carefully. After seeing that the two ladies had no objection, she came to Cao Zhihua's arms and let Cao Zhihua hold her on his lap.

When Zhou Shanshan saw that the performance of Liu Lirong's group was praised by Cao Zhihua, she felt very motivated and stood up and said:

"Master, mistress, second wife, Shanshan's group's performance is Rose Rose I Love You, please enjoy it."

Cao Zhihua smiled and encouraged:
"Well, Shanshan, come on, it's up to you."

"Rose is the most beautiful rose
Roses are the most beautiful
Changxia blooms on the branches
rose rose i love you

rose rose love

rose rose love

Changxia blooms among thorns
rose rose i love you"

After Zhou Shanshan finished her performance, Cao Zhihua said happily:

"Shanshan's performance is also very good. She is as good as Li Rong. Master likes it very much. As a reward, both of you can sleep with me, haha."
