Hong Kong: When the Wind Rises Again

Chapter 116 The pants are gone

Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce.

In the large office, Huo Zizheng was sitting at his desk, writing on documents with a pen in his hand. The white shirt he was wearing was ironed and without any wrinkles. His sleeves were slightly rolled up, making him look elegant.

He occasionally turned to look at his daughter Huo Ranran, who was sitting on the sofa reading extracurricular books, with a kind smile on his lips.

"President."

The personal assistant walked in, came to Huo Zizheng's side and whispered, "Wu Zhihui is here and wants to see you."

"Wu Zhihui?"

Huo Zizheng stopped writing and looked at the distinguished assistant: "What's he doing here? Just say I'm not here."

"If it was just like this, I would have sent him away long ago."

Huo Zizheng frowned when he heard this.

Wu Zhihui is a bit boring. He did himself a favor and helped him repay his favor. Everyone has settled down now, but now he still comes to find him, which is unwise.

The assistant said: "Wu Sheng said that he has a cooperation that he wants to discuss with you. He must meet with you. He said that you will definitely be interested."

As Huo Zizheng's personal assistant, she is certainly discerning. Last time, Wu Zhihui's wine association caused a stir.

Although Huo Zizheng ignored the pressure from Jiashi Group and readily gave Wu Zhihui help, he never saw Wu Zhihui from beginning to end.

Although Wu Zhihui has several identity blessings, his composition is too complicated, and he has the attributes of a community. To put it bluntly, he is white, but he is still not that white to a certain extent.

In other words, Huo Zizheng felt that Wu Zhihui was not from the same group as him. The chamber of commerce gathered all industrialists from mainland China, so he had no interest in having any further dealings with him.

"Do you want to see me?"

The assistant looked at Huo Zizheng, who didn't answer immediately, and waited for a while before asking: "If you don't see him, then I'll arrange for someone to send Wu Zhihui away."

"Brother Wu Zhihui?"

Huo Ranran, who was reading extracurricular readings on the sofa, immediately looked at Huo Zizheng when he heard Wu Zhihui's name: "Dad, let him in quickly. I haven't officially said thank you to my brother in person yet."

Huo Zizheng looked at his daughter whose eyes were bright, his brows furrowed and then disappeared, and he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, invite him in."

Huo Ranran said "Oh yeah", jumped down from the sofa, and followed the assistant out.

Children aged thirteen or fourteen are always the most energetic.

"Ha ha."

Huo Zizheng smiled and shook his head, looking at his daughter who disappeared at the door with his assistant, his face became serious.

My tutor has always been very strict, and I often tell my daughter to be grateful and repay kindness, but my child is still too naive and trusts others easily.

Logically speaking, a person like Wu Zhihui should be a vicious character. Although he accidentally saved his daughter, she shouldn't like Wu Zhihui so much.

Thinking of this, Huo Zizheng secretly blamed himself. He was too negligent and took care of his children last time, so his daughter was kidnapped and sold to Hong Kong Island. From then on, he kept his daughter with him. .

Soon.

My daughter's cheerful voice came from the corridor. It was obviously the second time we met, but it felt like we had known each other for a long time. She called her brother, which was kind.

After seeing Wu Zhihui, Huo Zizheng was surprised and understood why his daughter liked Wu Zhihui so much.

Wu Zhihui is about the same height as himself. He has a very handsome face with sharp edges and corners. He is still very young and looks very kind-faced. No wonder children would trust him so easily.

"Hahaha Wu Sheng is here."

A friendly smile appeared on Huo Zizheng's face, and he greeted him enthusiastically: "I have always wanted to meet you and say thank you in person, but I never had the chance. Today I finally have the opportunity to meet you again."

After the assistant sent the person there, he helped prepare tea and then closed the door and went out.

"Huo Sheng said something serious."

Wu Zhihui also laughed, shook hands with Huo Zizheng, and the three of them sat down on the sofa and chatted about home affairs.

After some pleasantries, Huo Zizheng sent Huo Ranran away. Xiaoran was also obedient and went aside again.

"Here, have a cigarette."

Huo Zizheng brought Wu Zhihui to the living room, picked up the plain package of cigarettes with only the word "Chinese" printed on it and gave one to Wu Zhihui: "I heard from the assistant that Wu Sheng wants to discuss cooperation with me?"

He took a puff of his cigarette and puffed out: "Although I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I still need to listen to everyone's opinions on many things, and I have always been cautious about investments and the like."

These two simple sentences actually blocked Wu Zhihui's many words, telling him that I don't want to have any in-depth dealings with you.

"Ha ha."

Wu Zhihui nodded in agreement and took a puff of the cigarette. The flue-cured tobacco tasted smooth and mellow, which was obviously different from the taste of foreign cigarettes like Marlboro.

Um.
A long-lost taste.

"I know what Huo Sheng means."

Wu Zhihui was not in a hurry and went straight to the point: "I wonder if Huo Sheng is interested in the wine business?"

"I feel saturated."

Huo Zizheng actually has his sights set on this. He has already done market research: "Jias, San Miguel, Heineken, and the recently famous Deli that are related to Wu Sheng, why, Wu Sheng wants to attract investment?"

At present, among the major beer brands in Hong Kong Island, the largest beer group is Jiashi Group, and these three are the remaining ones.

“No investment is required to make a profit.”

Wu Zhihui shook his head and looked at Huo Zizheng: "The Zhejiang Merchants Chamber of Commerce is different from other chambers of commerce. I have learned that the members of the Chamber of Commerce are mainly industrial, and most of them are in the mainland."

Hong Kong Island is a financial and commercial city, and factories are not the main focus here.

"Jias has a very high market share, and it is difficult to catch up with him if we make profits in a short period of time."

Wu Zhihui then said an idea that shocked Huo Zizheng: "If there is an opportunity, would Huo Sheng be interested in joining hands with me to acquire Jiashi Group?"

He has already investigated Huo Zizheng, a serious Chinese from the mainland, one of the early doers, and very patriotic. He has donated funds to foreign countries in the mainland every year in these years.

"Um?!"

Huo Zizheng's eyelids twitched and he looked at Wu Zhihui in disbelief.

"The Chamber of Commerce has a single composition, which is a good thing but not a good thing."

Wu Zhihui talked eloquently and expressed his thoughts: "I want to join the Zhejiang Merchants Chamber of Commerce and take over the Jiashi Group at the same time to add some other colors to the chamber of commerce. How about it?"

"Taking down Jiashi Group?!"

Huo Zizheng repeated again in disbelief: "I'm afraid this matter is more than just words. Besides, if Wu Sheng wants to acquire them, Gui Lao won't agree."

It is impossible to say that Wu Zhihui's proposal has no idea, but Jiashi Group is too big, so it is impossible.

"Those have nothing to do with Huo Sheng."

Wu Zhihui didn't tell him that much at all: "The banknotes in my hand are limited. If Huo Sheng has enough money, I think we can cooperate and we can definitely earn it below the market price."

This was the reason why he approached Huo Zizheng. Jiashi Group was too big and he simply couldn't afford so much money.

"let me consider it."

Huo Zizheng looked at Wu Zhihui with twinkling eyes, but did not give an accurate answer, and felt that this was nonsense.

"Don't worry, the business will be done in one day."

Wu Zhihui stopped talking at this point and stayed here for a while before getting up and leaving.

"Wu Zhihui, are you crazy?!"

Huo Zizheng looked at Wu Zhihui's leaving figure and muttered, but as a businessman, he still had a certain eye for judgment.

Wu Zhihui has a complex background and has made a fortune quickly. He should not say such things without thinking at all. He called his personal assistant: "Assign someone to pay attention to the movements of Jiashi Group at all times."

···
Australia Island.

After receiving Lao Jiang and Browns, Tan Wenjia took them directly back to the hotel and arranged a sumptuous dinner for them.

But the purpose of the two people's visit this time was naturally not to eat, but to win money. After a quick bite, they entered the Moon Entertainment City.

Arriving at the VIP area with ease, Tan Wenjia gestured to the red vest inside: "Still as usual?"

"Not cool enough."

Lao Jiang shook his head: "What are you going to do, Mr. Browns? Let's go together."

"Look at you."

Browns was very proud: "Play big to be exciting, just play according to the maximum limit." The entertainment city has entertainment city regulations, and it is not allowed to be too high.

"How about playing underpinning?"

Tan Wenjia chuckled: "When those big guys come to play, they drag two, one drags three, and some even more."

"What do you mean?"

Lao Jiang and Browns asked, this is a way of playing that they don't know.

"To put it simply, leverage is the floating edge when we play mahjong."

Tan Wenjia explained briefly: "For example, if you play one against two, no matter how much you win on the table, I will pay you twice as much personally. Of course, the same goes for vice versa."

This gameplay is much more exciting.

Junket operators have money, that’s how money comes from.

"PS: After watching the movie A-Ma is a City, you will know that the role of Teacher Wu Gang is very good."

Lao Jiang was more reserved: "How about we drag the two together? Keep a low profile. After all, Mr. Browns is here to make me happy."

"How can that be done? It defeats Mr. Jiang's interest!"

Of course Browns would not agree. He came here just to cooperate in depth with Lao Jiang. He naturally wanted to have fun: "Double it, let's drag four."

"That's okay?"

Lao Jiang laughed, and the two of them went to the table. It was still the baccarat they played last time. It was simple and quick and effective.

Of course, you have to pay your own money to play this time. The two of them took 40 chips. The colorful chips were brought up and they started fighting.

only.

Lao Jiang's points today were too memorized. In less than 10 minutes, twenty points were gone, and he had to give Tan Wenjia another eighty points after four.

Browns, on the other hand, was happy. Lao Jiang liked to stare at Zhuang, but he was different. He and Xian, after these 10 minutes, the chips in front of them had doubled, and Tan Wenjia had to give him one hundred and six.

"Hem home shovel!"

Lao Jiang gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, then snapped his fingers and asked Tan Wenjia to bring up another 50 chips: "I don't believe it."

"cough."

Browns looked at Lao Jiang with an ugly face, and quickly realized that he was here to accompany Lao Jiang, and waved his hand: "I'll take it away first, and give Mr. Jiang some luck."

"no problem."

Tan Wenjia snapped his fingers, and not long after, he was asked to pay the 160 chips to Browns. The colorful chips were packed in a chuck in a very regular manner.

He redeemed it very readily.

Browns looked at the chips in the tray. In just over ten minutes, more than 200 chips had come in. It was too fast. He was just a businessman. How could a businessman bet?

Ok.

Cash in your chips, stop gambling, call it a day.

"really not bad."

Tan Wenjia bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Mr. Browns is very good. Today's luck is unstoppable. We are destined to kill everyone."

"hey-hey."

Browns was in a beautiful mood. The two stood beside Lao Jiang and watched him play. Naturally, Tan Wenjia would not ask Browns to continue gambling.

If you ask him to gamble, he will definitely not lose too much. He has to take the initiative to take action again. Only if he takes the initiative to gamble again will the real loss begin.

Gambling is something that can extremely mobilize the whole person's energy and spirit.

Staring at the opening result, the extreme secretion of adrenaline, dopamine and other hormones during this waiting process can bring great stimulation to people and give them an experience they have never had before.

Especially the moment you win money, the joyful beauty cannot be replaced by anything.

The satisfaction of good food?The indulgence brought by beauty?The moment of pleasure that a seasoned smoker feels when he smokes?

No, no, no, it’s too weak, it’s simply incomparable to these.

This is why there are so many people who are bad gamblers, even if they lose a lot of money, they can still enjoy it.

If you lose, you always want to get your money back, right?Wouldn’t it be more satisfying if you get your money back?The two sides just go back and forth, often back and forth, making people trapped in it. If they cannot defeat themselves, their biggest enemy, they will never get out.

The two of them watched Lao Jiang play, and Lao Jiang began to improve one after another. Browns felt itchy and unbearable. He looked at the chips he had not cashed in, gritted his teeth and said secretly:
"Damn, that's all. If you lose, forget it. No matter how much you win, you won't continue playing."

Tan Wenjia looked at Browns who had joined the battle again, with a proud smile on his lips. Since he had taken the bait, he didn't need to keep an eye on him anymore and let them play by themselves.

He arranged for his confidants to come over and keep an eye on the plate, while he went to deal with other matters. At one o'clock in the morning, he came over to take a look. Lao Jiang had already died down, but Browns was sipping his cigar and staring at the plate, as if I can't get down anymore.

Tan Wenjia chuckled lightly and went to sleep in the hotel next door. When he woke up the next morning and saw Browns again, Gui Lao's eyes were already bloodshot and bloodshot, and the fingers holding the cigar began to tremble.

The confidant walked up tiredly: "I've already lost three hundred, I can't persuade you anymore." He was tired of staring at the side, but the ghost guy seemed to be welded to his seat and couldn't get down.

Three hundred, which was lost in the entertainment city. If you include the one-on-one with Tan Wenjia, you will lose another [-].

"Damn things!"

Browns slapped his hand on the table, looked at the empty chips in front of him, and smashed the cigar in his hand.

"Mr. Browns."

Tan Wenjia persuaded with a smile: "That's almost it. I'm tired after a whole night. Let's go have breakfast first, take a nap to recover, and then continue playing."

"Eat whatever you want and keep playing."

Browns growled angrily: "Keep playing! Get the chips."

Seeing that Tan Wenjia couldn't persuade him, of course he wouldn't say anything anymore. He knew the details of Browns, so naturally he wouldn't be afraid that he couldn't afford to lose. As soon as Browns signed, he was immediately offered another 100 million chips.

Browns finally couldn't bear it any longer, so he went down to sleep for four hours, but his sleep was not stable at all. In his dreams, he was always losing money. He woke up angrily, took a few mouthfuls of rice, and started eating again. table.

At ten o'clock in the evening.

When Tan Wenjia came back, Browns sat in front of the table with a sigh. The thick dark circles under his eyes formed a sharp contrast with the bloodshot eyes, which was a bit scary.

The new dealer was frightened when he saw this posture and looked at Tan Wenjia.

The dealer has to keep an eye on the market and calculate mentally. If he can't work for too long, he will have to be replaced by another person when the time comes.

Tan Wenjia said: "It's almost done."

"Come again!"

Browns had already taken out a pen and was ready to sign, but this time Tan Wenjia didn't bring it to him: "The account must be cleared first, otherwise I won't be able to deliver the report."

He put the receipts in his hand in front of Browns. There were five in total, worth 900 million. Of course, Browns did not bring so much cash.

Browns looked at the documents in front of him and became stunned. Unknowingly, he had signed so many? !

Looking at Lao Jiang, who was going up and down the table intermittently, after playing like this, he actually won more than 30 games, not much, but at least he didn't lose.

Next, it's not Tan Wenjia's part. Each entertainment city has a responsible force. Some entertainment cities even have two or three. They will talk to Browns.

If you can't come up with so much money late at night, then you can find another way, and you can sign a mortgage.

Browns was the president of the Jiashi Group, and some of it was in the form of a mortgage. In the end, he took out [-] of his equity shares in the Jiashi Group as a pledge, and signed with the cooperation of professional lawyers before leaving.

Don't be too familiar with this kind of pledge business. There are many companies that do this kind of pledge, and their efficiency is extremely fast.

After coming out of it, Browns finally woke up. Unknowingly, he was deeply trapped in it. He worked all day and night in vain. He went out in vain and still owed Tan Wenjia so much.

Tan Wenjia personally put him and Lao Jiang on the boat, waving his hands nonchalantly: "No need to worry, Mr. Browns. I'm not in a hurry. I just need to pay the money for the entertainment city first."

"oops."

Lao Jiang spoke earnestly and taught earnestly: "Browns, you are too high-minded. I can't even stop you from shouting. I have long thought that you should come down. Please be careful next time and don't do this again."

Browns looked at Lao Jiang with a faint look in his eyes. If he knew the history of China, he would definitely say the words of hindsight.

But what can be done.

The bet was made by oneself, no one forced oneself, the words were signed by oneself, and no one threatened oneself. Unknowingly, I lost everything.

Brown's intestines are full of regret, what can he do?First pay the money owed to the entertainment city and get back the pledged equity in your hand.
