The Goddess Shines on America

　　 Li Ka-shing’s mansion is located at 79 Deep Water Bay Road, Hong Kong. This address was decided before he started his own business in his early years and was still operating a plastic factory without entering the real estate industry. This businessman from Chaozhou, Guangdong has lived here for a lifetime. Even when the family population is booming and he needs to change houses later, he will renovate the old house on the original site, and in another "larger" building. "Wait for seven years" in the villa before moving in.

　　 This mansion is located in the southernmost part of Hong Kong Island, nearly ten kilometers across the sea and land from east to west from the Hongkong Electric Power Station on Lamma Island. The shuttle bus departs from Tsim Sha Tsui again, passes through the Victoria Bay from the Hung Hom Undersea Tunnel to the south, passes through the prosperous urban area along the bay and goes all the way deep, and then is the vast and green hilly terrain.

　　 The Repulse Bay Road, which runs through dense forests, is long and winding, and there are only about ten mansions along the way. Naturally, they are extremely large and luxurious, but they are not the destination of this trip. After arriving at the southern end of Hong Kong Island, he passed the top coastal residential area in the east with high-end villas as the core, and then the car drove westward. After a short journey, he finally reached Deep Water Bay Road.

　　 First along the coast, then to the north and re-deep into the mountains, at the east-south corner at the top of the hillside road, and at the same time on the west side of the golf course on the east side, where the Li family's mansion is located.

　　 From time to time, the security measures in the later period are tight to the extreme. After all, Li Ka-shing still does not have so many children, and his wife Zhuang Yueming has not yet passed away. So for Alice, this trip is indeed full of freshness. The driveway is not a zigzag that avoids the highway gate. The front gate of the mansion is also facing the highway instead of facing it. This is not herself. Familiar feeling.

　　 got out of the car, of course she got out of the car first and then Li Zeju. Alice immediately saw the 60-year-old man approaching her.

　　 "Welcome to Hong Kong, Miss Wang." The familiar black suit, and the face that is much younger than the impression but very familiar, the old man's hand held the girl's hand: "The whole city will add luster to your arrival."

"You are too polite, Mr. Li." Alice smiled and shook hands with him: "Just like everyone else, call me Alice. In addition, your English accent is very authentic. If you don't look at yourself, it's usually unclear. Speaker identity."

　　 Li Ka-shing, wearing those black thick-rimmed glasses, accepted Alice's compliment politely, and nodded to the eldest son: "Ze Ju, please invite Alice into the house. She is the representative of our global Chinese businessmen."

　　 A very nasty name, Alice smiled and was invited into the house. Naturally, the size of this house is not amazing, and the decoration is not so gorgeous. After all, it was a house built many years ago. As for Li Ka-shing, Alice also knew that for this self-made businessman, his own safety was far more important than luxury, especially after the eldest son Li Zeju was abducted.

　　 In the spacious living room, a dignified and elegant lady appeared. It was Li Ka-shing’s wife, Zhuang Yueming. The distinguished guests came home, naturally, they wanted to welcome them at home, but after the three of them sat on the sofa, the hostess did not wait in front of them, but went to the kitchen immediately on the grounds of pouring tea.

"Alice," Li Ka-shing said after sitting down for a while, "I can imagine that you will definitely have this series of big moves when you come to Hong Kong this time. The stock market crash last year, the global stock market fell sharply, your short-selling behavior at least let I made a net profit of one billion, right?"

　　 "Just a lot more," Alice nodded with a smile: "I'm surprised that Mr. Li already knows so much about me. Is it the Hong Kong newspaper that has been reporting the details of the short-selling Hang Seng?"

Li Zeju chuckled and said: "Hong Kong is okay, mainly The Times and Daily Mail. You know, you are not only attending school at Eaton, but also a rare Chinese girl, but you are short-selling from the London stock market. After tens of millions of dollars, anyone will be clamoring and talking."

"Oh, that was a bit unexpected to me." Alice's thinking did not follow Li Zeju: "I thought that the Hong Kong media saw me, a Chinese businessman fishing in troubled waters in the global stock market, and could focus on reporting it. It seems to be a fig leaf. There is still a layer. Well, I won’t talk about this beforehand."

At the end of the opening three-sentence chat, Alice turned to say: "Mr. Li is right. I came to Hong Kong on this trip with the mentality of large-scale investment. After all, it is as good as London, New York and Tokyo has too many nationalized cities, and the mainland behind it has just established a reform and opening up zone in Guangdong. The future development potential is very strong."

　　 said that, of course Alice had another idea in her heart. It is true that Hong Kong's superb status can last for a long time. At that time, domestic cities were almost all the size of fishing villages, but within 30 years, the gdp of Shenzhen and Guangzhou should surpass Hong Kong as a whole. Of course, at that time, she didn't know how far her overall career had developed, so she didn't care about this kind of thing.

　　 Zhuang Yueming brought the tea, and immediately retired. Li Ka-shing took the initiative to fill a glass for Alice, and then gently blew the bubble on the surface of his glass, and said: "The acquisition of The Peninsula Hotel is more symbolic than actual income; a loan of 500 million US dollars from HSBC proves that you are in Preparing for larger-scale investment projects. As for your visit to the Hongkong Electric Company under the Changjiang Infrastructure Company and proposed cooperation with Cisco, it is just your market expansion behavior for your own industry, which is not directly related to the previous two."

　　 After drinking half a cup of tea, he smiled and said, "So boy, I'm really curious, what purpose did you come to Hong Kong with?"

"In order to move into the industrial field," Alice said: "My current enterprises are basically concentrated in Silicon Valley, that is, pure technology flow. The only industrial industry that has gained the upper hand is just a clothing brand. And it is just a clothing brand. Brands are nothing but a real garment processing industry."

　　 only half of the words were said, but it was enough for people to understand. Li Ka-shing did not indulge, and immediately further said: "You have become a billionaire by virtue of Microsoft, and Cisco is also a large company in the IT industry that has just gone public, and its future development potential is very strong. Why don't you focus on developing in existing fields? But to expand into the industrial field?"

Rounds of dialogues repeated between the two, and Alice’s answer came immediately: "The national economy’s take-off is ultimately dependent on the industrial field. If there is not enough physical product foundation to support it, the output value of the service industry will be high no matter how high it is. It’s just a castle in the air. Maybe I can make tens of millions of money by just tapping on the computer, but that’s just a bunch of numbers after all, not something that can be seen or touched."

　　Li Zeju smiled and interrupted. Li Ka-shing didn't ask anything immediately, but when he nodded slightly, Alice observed it clearly, and a gratified and contented smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"In terms of development in the industrial field, I can be regarded as rich in experience." A moment later, he looked to Alice: "My first entrepreneurial achievement was a plastic product factory, and in one fell swoop, I became an expert on the technology I learned in Italy. The king of plastic flowers, this has the basic capital to move towards real estate. It seems that you are much more advanced than me in the same development steps. You have independently developed the news of winodws1.0 in one or two weeks, but there are some in the industry. It’s been published in detail in periodicals."

　　 Alice immediately waved her hands modestly: "Where, where, it's just a little clever..."

　　 "Go ahead, kid," Li Ka-shing sat up straight, and poured another cup of tea for Alice: "How can my Yangtze River Group help you?"

　　 Now, Alice laughed completely.

　　 "Industry under your control," she said, "a whole huge system built with Cheung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd. as its core."

　　 Li Ka-shing nodded slowly, waiting patiently for the next sentence. Even if he admired the little girl who appeared suddenly and wanted to help her, it is of course necessary to understand the other party's understanding of himself.

"Cheung Kong, the flagship of the Cheung Kong Group, is a real estate development and strategic investment company. Its members in Hong Kong include three listed companies that are also constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Index: Cheung Kong, Hutchison Whampoa Limited and Cheung Kong Infrastructure "

"Cheung Kong is currently one of the largest real estate developers in Hong Kong~www.readwn.com~, which develops a series of residential and commercial properties in Hong Kong, and owns nearly half of the shares in Hutchison Whampoa. Hutchison Whampoa is a company that has businesses all over the world. The world’s large multinational conglomerate operates six core businesses in 52 countries around the world, including ports and related services, real estate and hotels, retail, infrastructure, energy, and telecommunications."

"The last infrastructure of the Yangtze River... After all, Mr. Li, you really made the subordinate companies complicated enough. The subordinates of the company invested in the Hongkong Electric, and then marched in the direction of cement, and then the Hongkong Electric merged with other related power companies here. Going on the market... well, it's really complicated, and it's messy to organize!"

　　 The analysis of the first two was very good, but the last one was confused. Seeing Alice's disgusting look, the stark difference made the Li family laugh.

"Okay, okay, it's rare for you to investigate." Li Ka-shing nodded with satisfaction, watching Alice take another sip of water, and his eyes signaled, Li Zeju immediately filled her with another glass: "Then Alice, since you have treated me The company’s eldest brother has done some investigations, and before telling your intention to cooperate, I have a question."

　　 Alice easily drank a third of the hot tea: "Well, may I ask."

Quite logically, an old man asked the young American compatriots: "You also said just now that the composition of our Yangtze River Infrastructure is a bit messy, so what is unique about the development status of my entire group What do you think? Little Alice?" (To be continued.)
