A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 197
Although it is not as snowy and silvery as the four-nine cities, the Spring Festival atmosphere in Hong Kong Island is no worse than that in China.

Starting from the 28th of the Lunar New Year, the entire Hong Kong Island is filled with the spirit of the Spring Festival.

High red lanterns, Chinese knots, wallpapers, dragon and lion dances, it was so lively.

In the past few days, Cao Zhihua has brought his whole family, bodyguards and their families to a large group of people.
In Causeway Bay, Kowloon, and Mong Kok, I strolled leisurely on the streets and bought New Year's goods. I was so happy.

It has been a long time since Cao Zhihua went shopping in such a relaxed way. The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to ordinary people's hearts.

Only by integrating into this festive festive atmosphere can Cao Zhihua feel that he is not out of touch with society.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, look at this dragon and phoenix jewelry. Can my second brother buy you a pair of heirlooms?"

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, come and take a look at this jade bracelet. You can try it on for size. Third brother will buy you one."

Cao Zhihua looked at the three little ones with a smile. Now that the older one and the second one were rich, they bought things for his sister who had grown up together so that she could have wealth.

Cao Zhihua didn't stop him. After all, this was a relationship between brother and sister, although he would not be missing anything from Xiaoyu.

But this kind of relationship is the most difficult, and Cao Zhihua is only responsible for shopping and eating some street snacks.

I don't bother to care about the others. Although Cao Zhihua and his group are different from ordinary people at first glance, everyone is rich and powerful.

But no one who is short-sighted is looking for excitement. After all, the dozens of strong men around Cao Zhihua are not vegetarians at first glance.

Watching floats parading on the street, lion dances, worshiping gods, asking for fortune-telling, and other activities,
It dazzled everyone.

"Sanhua, Sanhua, look at people offering incense and worshiping gods everywhere. It's really feudal and superstitious."

"Yes, feudal superstition has been eradicated in China a long time ago. I didn't expect that so many people in Hong Kong still believe in this?"

"Yes, isn't this deceptive? Materialism has proven that all ghosts, ghosts and gods are nothing and false."

Cao Zhihua was a little speechless as he listened to his bodyguard's family talking about topics that were incompatible with the atmosphere here.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this. It won't be good if someone hears it. Although we can't do as the Romans do, we shouldn't cause trouble to our men.

Didn’t you see that we men went shopping with our boss today?

If you talk nonsense here and others hear it, you are looking for trouble. Isn't this causing trouble for us men?
What if your boss gets angry? Do you still want to live on Hong Kong Island?

Or do you want to go back to live in China? "

"That's not it, that's not it. I must live in Hong Kong Island. Oh my, look at my bad mouth. I can't stop talking about it. I won't say it anymore. I won't say it anymore."

"Yes, just do as the Romans do. Why do you care so much? We are not government cadres. We can just live our own lives."

"Yes, Sanhua is right. No wonder her man can be the general manager, while our man can only be a soldier."

"Tch, that's enough, do you think anyone can be the boss's soldier?
The boss's salary for the soldiers is 1 Hong Kong dollars a month, which is no less than what other bosses outside earn.

Which one of you is not living the life of a young mistress now? "

"Well, the boss is the richest man in Hong Kong Island, can he be the same as other people?
When we men follow the boss, we enjoy the blessing of being the boss. "

"Yeah, look, everyone, the dragon dancing in front is biting the red envelope."

"Yeah, it's really fun. Can this faucet bite off the red envelope clicked on it?"

"It should work. Why order it if you can't bite it off?"

"Come on, let's go take a look."

"We won't get separated from everyone in the past, right?"

"Probably not, but it's okay even if we get separated. Hong Kong Island is only so big. We can just go back by ourselves when the time comes."

"Okay, let's go and take a look."

Naturally, Cao Zhihua also saw the dragon dance entering the store.

Basically every store along the street will welcome dragon dancing into the store. After all, this is a good sign and is meant to attract wealth.

Cao Zhihua took his family over to have a look.

The dragon dance first dances in the store for a while. After the boss hangs the red envelope on the front beam, the dragon dance starts to step on people and let the dragon bite the red envelope.

The red envelopes bitten off are the profits of the dragon dance team, so the dragon dance team is very profitable during festivals.

The tradition of the dragon dance team in Cao Zhihua's previous life has basically disappeared, and occasionally some dragon dance performances can be seen.

The custom of dragon dance troupes going door to door and biting red envelopes from door to door like in Hong Kong has long since disappeared.

Cao Zhihua's family was very excited to watch the dragon dance enter the store.

After all, this is a traditional Chinese cultural custom, and it is also very lively and interesting.

Cao Zhihua doesn't have a fixed program, he just goes shopping casually, so he doesn't spoil everyone's interest. Everyone can play whatever they like and watch whatever they want.

When the lanterns came on, Cao Zhihua and his family returned home happily.
I think the New Year’s Eve festival in Hong Kong is really fun, it’s so lively.

The family had a New Year's Eve dinner at home and began to watch the New Year's Eve.

Cao Zhihua bought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers early and waited to set them off on time at 12 o'clock.

The family moved a TV set and turned on the wireless TV station in Lou Bancheng. This year, it was the Spring Festival Gala that Cao Zhihua suggested to Lou Bancheng.

Each program, one song, one joke after another, with climaxes and ups and downs, made the entire Cao Zhihua family watch with great excitement.

Unknowingly, the time came to 12 o'clock, and Cao Zhihua led everyone to light the fireworks that had been prepared.

"Boom, boom,"

Cao Zhihua led everyone and watched the firelights rush into the sky, explode, and colorful lights scattered in the sky.
Everything was beautiful. At this moment, Cao Zhihua suddenly had a sentence in his heart, "Flowing water and falling flowers, spring is gone, heaven and earth".

The fireworks in the middle of the night were so beautiful that no one cared about the smell of dust and sulfur.

After everything calmed down, Cao Zhihua led everyone in high spirits back to the room to prepare for a rest.

On Hong Kong Island, where everyone is in the first grade of junior high school, a popular custom is to add incense first.

Cao Zhihua did not have such a habit, and after getting up, he did a set of boxing, had breakfast, and went to the industrial park with Lou Xiao'e with the red envelope he had prepared.

Cao Zhihua took Li Shengnan, Zhang Guohua and others who were on duty today to visit departments and workshops one by one to pay New Year greetings and distribute New Year red envelopes to every employee at work.

Cao Zhihua's company is too big, with too many people and many departments.

Especially Cao Zhihua’s announcement of three times the salary for overtime during annual leave.
The overtime rate of employees on these production lines has reached 90%, and they go back to attend the New Year’s Eve dinner during the Chinese New Year.It's really crazy to make money, but capitalists like Cao Zhihua must like employees like this the most.

The reason why Cao Zhihua has such a good reputation among the bottom class of Hong Kong society is really not about how well he does.

It's because of the praise of colleagues, compared to the behavior of those in the industry who want to squeeze the bones out of employees.

Cao Zhihua just relaxed a little, gave a little more, and did a little better in the face-saving project, which made all employees grateful and willing to contribute.

Among all the migrant workers in Hong Kong Island, who wouldn’t say that Mr. Cao Zhihua, the richest man, is the most conscientious boss in Hong Kong Island?

Who doesn’t say that the richest man, Mr. Cao Zhihua, is the best boss to his employees?

Who doesn’t say that the richest man, Mr. Cao Zhihua, is the boss who loves his employees the most?

Whether it is working environment, accommodation conditions, living and food, or wages and benefits, Zhihua Group is far ahead of its peers.

Can everyone be dissatisfied and not be proud to work for Zhihua Group?

Of course, these are also complementary to each other. Cao Zhihua also received unprecedented satisfaction from everyone's praise.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Zhihua and senior officials of the Zhihua Group spent the day with blessings for making a fortune in the new year.

After all the red envelopes were distributed, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Cao Zhihua did not stay any longer and took Lou Xiaoe to the Victoria's Secret Club and continued to distribute red envelopes to all employees.

After everything was done, I returned home and watched the sun set, sinking little by little along the coastline, illuminating the entire horizon and coastline with red clouds.

Everything is beautiful, like a dream.

After a busy day, Cao Zhihua returned home and changed into his swimsuit and went to the swimming pool to start exercising.

Big Gouzi and Er Gouzi also became interested and wanted to have a swimming competition with their eldest brother.

Cao Zhihua felt that these two brothers were not looking for abuse, so he agreed without hesitation.

Sure enough, with Xiaoyu and the maids cheering and cheering, Cao Zhihua won the race by leading one lap.

"Brother, you don't know how to let us swim, and you don't know how you exercise to swim so fast."

"Hey, you still lack exercise. I will exercise every night when I come back.

After all, the body is the foundation of everything.

Don't let the two of you neglect the importance of your body just because you are making money or because you love to have fun.

Only a good body can have everything. "

"No wonder my eldest brother has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. It turns out he has known the importance of the body for a long time."

"Well, of course, right now. It's not too late for you to start exercising from now on."

"Well, brother, we will. When I get to the beautiful country, I will find a gym and go to exercise every day."

"Well, me too. I'm also planning to build a horse farm at my manor. I can ride horses every day when I have nothing to do. This kind of exercise is also very good."

"Okay, as long as you are willing, you know, money is used to improve your own life.

No matter how much money you make, it doesn't matter if you don't use it for yourself.

Especially for someone like my eldest brother, who already has too much money to spend.

If you don't spend money to improve yourself and treat yourself well, you will no longer have the motivation to make money, right? "

"Just like giving out red envelopes to employees today, what did you do?"

"Hey, yes, this will not only satisfy the vanity in the eldest brother's heart, but also bring enough reputation to the eldest brother, so that the eldest brother will have more prestige and appeal in Hong Kong Island in the future, and it will allow the eldest brother and his family to live in Hong Kong Island. It’s safer and better, isn’t it?”

"So spending money is also a skill. We can learn enough from our elder brother."

"Yes, since I was little, my eldest brother has been my most admired and best teacher. We all followed his lead and learned bit by bit."

Cao Zhihua said disdainfully:

"You two are just talking nice, follow my example, why haven't you seen your woman?
Your eldest brother doesn't have much else but a lot of women. Just look at the 20 or so women living at home.

what about you?You're so old, and you're not a woman yet, and you're just learning from me like this?
When I was your age, your eldest nephew Liangliang was already born.
what about you?There is no woman, and I don’t know what you are thinking about every day. "

Big Gouzi and Er Gouzi looked at each other and smiled bitterly, shaking their heads. They felt that the eldest brother was a little crazy, how could he be so hasty.

How did the two little ones know that Cao Zhihua's bad taste in his heart made him feel very happy by urging them to get married. Cao Zhihua was giving the two little ones a conservative program to let them know in advance that future generations would celebrate the New Year. This was very satisfying, okay?
Time flies and a week passes.
Cao Zhihua spends this week at home with his family.

Today is finally the time for Big Gouzi and Er Gouzi to go to Beautiful Country and Big Eagle Country.
Cao Zhihua and Xiaoyu got up early in the morning, took them to the airport, and sent them off to the plane.

However, Xiaoyu's mood improved a lot this time, unlike the first time when she broke down and burst into tears.

After all, it’s been such a long time, and Big Gouzi and Er Gouzi are living very well outside, so there’s nothing to worry about.

After being put on the plane as usual, Xiaoyu reluctantly returned to the car, preparing to go home and catch up on some sleep.

Now Cao Zhihua's Zhihua Group is the main force in the economic development of Hong Kong Island. Not only can clothing companies earn funds from all over the world and return to Hong Kong,

Moreover, the big moves of Zhihua Real Estate Company have also continued to increase the demand in the Hong Kong Island economic chain.

Especially after digesting Hengnong Group and Wheelock Real Estate Trust, Cao Zhihua vigorously developed Hengnong Group's residential projects, three 3-year commercial projects under Wheelock Company, and Zhihua Real Estate's own theater construction. Commercial complex project.

For a time, the economic center of Hong Kong Island revolved around Zhihua Real Estate.

But what is possible is that all properties of Zhihua Group, except for the houses for which Hengnong Group has received payment before, need to be delivered.

All other projects developed by Zhihua Group are intended to be self-sustaining and have no intention of selling them at low prices now.

Until there is a joint statement between the Hong Kong government and the mainland in the future, the annual land grant will not exceed 50 hectares (750 acres).

The Hong Kong government took this opportunity to significantly increase land prices, causing housing prices on Hong Kong Island to take off and increase countless times.

Cao Zhihua will never sell the property in his hands.

At that time, the Hong Kong government collected 1000 billion Hong Kong paper every year and transferred it back to the island.

Isn't it too much to join in the fun at that time and collect a batch of cash and put it in your own bank?
Cao Zhihua feels that it is not excessive at all. When the time comes to collect a batch of cash and invest it in the country, it will increase the wealth countless times.

Wouldn’t it be better to use the funds accumulated in Hong Kong Island’s property market in the future to fund domestic reform, development and development?
Wouldn't it be nice to invest tens of billions or hundreds of billions of funds by ourselves to vigorously develop domestic industrialization and urban construction?
Do we have to let these idiots drain Hong Kong Island of its funds and kidnap all the citizens of Hong Kong Island into real estate?

Cao Zhihua doesn't want this. He might as well use his precious funds to develop the country, right?
