The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

Chapter 33 Love at first sight

October 9

He Jiahao is in charge of Manulife Development Company, handling the construction and property conditions of the Xinghua Village land.

A construction company has been hired to design and construct the Xinghua Village site. According to the plan, it will be completed in April next year and the property can be sold in the middle of the year.

The shops in Wan Chai and the offices on Austin Road in Kowloon have been rented out, but the two industrial buildings in North Point have not been fully rented out. The vacancy rate has reached 26%. However, the 7-story industrial building is already worth 5 million, and the 11-story industrial building has appreciated in value. 6 million, overall I still made a lot of money.

When Huo Jianning took out a loan of 20 million, he mortgaged a shop in Wan Chai and an office on Austin Road. The value of industrial buildings is not slow to appreciate, but it seems unlikely that it will exceed the price peak of 1973. In other words, the value of industrial buildings can reach its peak at any time, or even may decline, then the industrial building needs to be dealt with urgently to get the best value.

The land in Heng Fa Chuen is not large, and it is relatively close to Quarry Bay and Taikoo Place. There seems to be a lot of room for appreciation. However, the newly built industrial area next to it will affect the residential real estate, so Manulife Development Company chose to develop it as soon as possible to collect funds.

The Kowloon Tong and Happy Valley cemetery sites have greater potential, and their area is far larger than the Heng Fa Chuen site. They can be reserved for later development to obtain greater benefits.

While thinking about how to raise funds to grow the company, the phone next to him rang.

"Hello!" He Jiahao answered the phone.

"Boss, this is Luo Tang. Huo Zhenting, the son of the chairman of Huo Yingdong Group, came to Yunzhimeng to visit you. Do you want to come back and see you now?" Luo Tang's anxious voice came over the phone.

He Jiahao was a little surprised. He had no idea why Huo Zhenting was looking for him. It seemed that he had never dealt with the Huo family.

"Just tell him to wait, I'll be back now."

"OK!"

Twenty minutes later, He Jiahao saw Huo Zhenting in the office, whose hair was relatively long and combed back, revealing a shiny forehead. He smiled and stepped forward to shake hands and said, "Huo Sheng is here, I have been waiting for a long time."

No matter what, we must give face to Huo Yingdong, who loves his country more than his life, because He Jiahao is a Chinese.

"It's rude of me to come here rashly." Huo Zhenting was 12 years older than He Jiahao, but there was no slight expression of looking down on He Jiahao.

He Jiahao did not praise him too much, but said directly, "I wonder if Huo Sheng needs my help for anything?"

"No, I just came to ask He Sheng to do me a personal favor. I wonder if He Sheng is willing?"

"As long as I can do it, I naturally hope to help Huo Sheng." He Jiahao didn't want to refuse, partly because he wanted to build a relationship.

"If He Sheng makes a new movie, can you give up the position of the heroine to me?" Huo Zhenting said a little embarrassed, "I can also invest."

Hearing these words, He Jiahao remembered that in his previous life, Huo Zhenting fell in love with Zhu Lingling at first sight. He sent flowers almost every day and acted as a flower protector.

"Is it for Miss Zhu Lingling?" He Jiahao smiled lightly.

"Well" 31-year-old Huo Zhenting actually became shy.

However, He Jiahao became serious, "To be honest with Huo Sheng, I also made a movie specifically for my girlfriend, which will be released soon, so I understand Huo Sheng's mood very well. I actually have a movie script in my hand, You can let Miss Zhu Lingling take a look, and if you like it, just tell me and I’ll start shooting as soon as I’m ready.”

Ho Jiahao's attitude and efficiency surprised Huo Zhenting. You must know that Huo Yingdong offended the Hong Kong government in the 1960s, and his current situation is not very good. Not all Chinese will give face.

"Thank you, He Sheng. I can personally invest 300,000 yuan in this movie." Huo Zhenting quickly said that he could contribute the money, letting He Jiahao know that he is not incapable of dealing with the world.

"If this 300,000 yuan is Huo Sheng's spare money, I will be happy to let Huo Sheng invest."

The Huo family has very strict upbringing. Huo Zhenting definitely doesn't have much money, maybe 300,000 yuan, which he needs to scrape together.

"This" Huo Zhenting hesitated, obviously not a good liar.

"Actually, if Huo Sheng hadn't come to see me, I would have planned to shoot this movie soon." He Jiahao took out another document from the drawer and handed it to Huo Zhenting, saying, "This is the heroine's scene script, take it back. Let Miss Zhu Lingling take a look, and if it works, just give me a call."

Huo Zhenting took the script and quickly said, "Thank you, He Sheng."

Chatted with Huo Zhenting again, and finally He Jiahao and he returned to Manulife Development Company after lunch.

As for why Huo Zhenting came to him instead of looking for Shao, Jiahe and Princess Jin, He Jiahao was puzzled.

Maybe it's because of his reputation in the media industry.

Thinking of the news about Zhu Lingling and Huo Zhenting in his previous life, He Jiahao shook his head. Every family has a hard time learning, and it is indeed difficult to be the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family.

afternoon

He Jiahao received another call from Luo Tang, saying, "Miss Fang Yihua from Shaw Brothers Pictures would like to make an appointment to meet." ’

His expression turned very bad now. He Jiahao, a woman named Fang Yihua, had been in contact with him in his previous life. She was very difficult to get along with. She used power to dominate others, was self-righteous, and was bold and ruthless. These were her characteristics. The key was that this woman was not very capable. But he has an extremely restless heart.

Wanting to refuse, but unable to ignore Shaw Brothers' energy, Ho Jiahao could only agree and made an appointment at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

After clearing up his mood, He Jiahao continued to deal with Manulife's affairs.

Today's Manulife is somewhat short of funds, and the possibility of growing in a short period of time is very low. However, by next year, Manulife will accelerate its development.

When I returned to the apartment in the evening, Chen Yulian came back and sat on the sofa with an angry look on her face.

He Jiahao didn't know what happened, so he stepped forward and asked gently, "Who messed with my baby?"

"Baby? You don't just have me as a baby, you also have a baby named Zhong Chuchu." Chen Yulian said angrily.

not good!

The boat capsized!

He Jiahao was a little overwhelmed.

"Why don't you speak? Am I really just your lover?" Chen Yulian shouted loudly.

He Jiahao sighed and said, "You are all my girlfriends. If you want to leave, I will give you 500,000 as compensation for the loss of youth in these few months."

"Am I just a woman who loves money in your heart?" Chen Yulian almost jumped up and pointed at He Jiahao.

Hearing this, He Jiahao felt that things were turning around, so he walked over and put his arms around Chen Yulian's shoulders. After struggling a few times, he stopped resisting. Then he said, "I am a bit of a playboy, but I am serious about you all. I hope it will come to an end.”

"Does Zhong Chuchu know me?" Chen Yulian asked.

He Jiahao scratched his head and stammered, "This. This, I shouldn't know."

"Then if you were asked to choose one between the two of us, who would you choose?" Chen Yulian had hope in her eyes, hoping that He Jiahao would choose her.

"I'm greedy. I want both."

"No, choose one quickly."

"If you can't choose, then divide me in half, one half for each person."

"That's nonsense. They're all dead. Why do you want half of it? It's not too scary."

Just talking nonsense like this, Chen Yulian seemed to accept the fact that He Jiahao was a playboy. Maybe Chen Yulian never thought about leaving He Jiahao, a young, handsome and rich man.
