I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

The open-air coffee shop of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel is not really open-air, but has parasols; there is a giant umbrella on top of each table, and the parasols are very beautifully designed and do not affect the customer experience. .

The open-air coffee shop is on a raised terrace, with a very good view, and you can browse a lot of beautiful scenery.

On the front is the beautiful Victoria Harbor, with blue sea and blue sky; on the opposite side is the main island, and many high-rise buildings have been erected at this time; when you take a closer look, there is a huge swimming pool not far away, which is the public swimming pool of the Ritz Hotel. A little lower, the whole pool is like an infinity pool, connected to the sea.

Behind it is the towering Ritz Hotel building, a modern building with a blue glass curtain wall, which is definitely a shock in this era of Hong Kong Island; when it was first built, many people on Hong Kong Island saw the Ritz Hotel building, like The Qing Dynasty people went to the scene of America.

There are grasslands and gardens on the left and right sides, which is refreshing to look at.

On the weekend, Wu Guangyao was invited by Brother Fang to talk about it together!

But at this time, Fang Geer's face was clearly showing a trace of unnaturalness and a trace of fear!

"Why are you so strange today? What trouble did you cause?" Wu Guangyao and Brother Fang have known each other for so many years, so they quickly discovered the abnormality; My brother changed places and lived a good life again.

"Master, I...I have another woman?" Brother Fang said hesitantly, like a child who did something wrong and faced his parents.

Wu Guangyao was amused to hear it for a while, and he thought something happened!

In Hong Kong Island, it is not normal for rich people to have one wife and several concubines;

Brother Fang's annual income is at least one million Hong Kong dollars, and he can be regarded as a figure on Hong Kong Island.

"Well, what are you going to do about it?" Wu Guangyao said lightly.

"You... aren't you angry?" Brother Fang's face flashed with joy, Brother Fang thought the young master would scold him!

"How can I be angry? I used to stop you because I was afraid that you would be young and vigorous. Now we are in our thirties, and the place that should be mature has also matured! But there is one thing, Li Xiao, you have to settle it properly. After so many years, you can't treat others badly when you have children for you; besides, her sister is still my executive. In addition, tell me about the situation of that woman, can she be admitted?" Wu Guangyao did not become a What happened, Brother Fang matured as he should have matured,

There is also need to worry about yourself.

"Her name is Ma Jing, and her family conditions are average..."

"Okay, you don't need to report so carefully, you can figure it out yourself!"

Wu Guangyao waved his hand, it was difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, all he could do was to remind him not to get too addicted to it; moreover, they were both pregnant, so it would be irresponsible.

At noon, the two had a few drinks in the hotel restaurant and talked about buying antiques across the street.

"Later, I'll give you another 2 million dollars to buy antiques, just treat it as an investment!"

"Master, no need! Heaven and Earth now have a monthly profit of 800,000 Hong Kong dollars. Even if you take away 60%, it will not have any impact. Why use your private money!"

Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said, "No, follow the established rules. The two of us only get 40% of the monthly profit, the other 30% goes to the helpers, and 30% goes to the company of heaven and earth; there are too many gangsters in the world, and there are no such I'm not sure about hundreds of heroes. Also, since you fill in the concubine's room, you will get 10% more. Your young master's current net worth doesn't look down on the hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. You and I After so many years, it’s time to think about saving more of your family business.”

In the past, Brother Fang would take 40% of the profits from heaven and earth, and then take another 30% of the 40% for himself, and give the rest to Wu Guangyao as shareholders.

That is to say, Brother Fang's annual income is around 1 million. As for Leidun Security, the profit is very small. Even if there is a profit, it will be used to expand the scale. Brother Fang will not take money.

Brother Fang was very moved, and said emotionally: "Without the young master, I would be where I am today!"

Wu Guangyao waved his hand, expressing that he should not speak so touchingly!

The two are brothers who struggle together, and Wu Guangyao is more like an elder brother; although Fang is two years older than Wu Guangyao, Wu Guangyao has been twice as old as him in the previous two lifetimes.

Two million US dollars is equivalent to more than a year's profit in the sky and the earth. Wu Guangyao gave it to Brother Fang with ease, so he naturally trusted him very much.

There are two main reasons why Wu Guangyao increased his efforts to acquire antiques from the Mainland:

First, Brother Fang has already established an antique purchase chain in the mainland. The suppliers are mainly concentrated in the capital and Jiangnan area. Many top-quality treasures can be obtained, and the authenticity can be guaranteed.

Second, there are still more than five years before the old building was destroyed in 1966. If Wu Guangyao does not rush to buy it, he is afraid that many treasures will be damaged;

"The authenticity of antiques must be identified. I don't want to collect a fake and keep it at home; it's not that I lack the money, but it's a shame to take it out later." Wu Guangyao couldn't help reminding that he didn't know the authenticity, and everything Brother Fang put the things he brought back into the treasury all by himself.

"Well, don't worry, young master, we have professional appraisers from the mainland."

"That's good. After the acquisition of 2 million US dollars is over, you take the initiative to ask me for it. I don't dislike many antiques. This is also equivalent to an investment of mine. You need to pay attention to me."

At this time, Wu Guangyao not only had two villas in Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay with treasuries; the villas on Barker Road and Mid-Levels were also under construction, so there were plenty of places to put treasures.

Brother Fang also knows that the young master has fallen in love with those things from now on; so he spent 2 million US dollars at one time, which is more than 11 million Hong Kong dollars.

Although prices in the mainland are low, some antiques can be worth several thousand Hong Kong dollars, but generally they are only worth tens or hundreds of Hong Kong dollars.

After the two of them finished their meal, Wu Guangyao invited Brother Fang to go with him to the yacht in the hotel.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Shangri-La Hotel newly purchased a batch of American-made yachts for operation;

Of course, this kind of yacht is generally rented by the top rich people of this era, and they are sailed on the sea for fun.

The yacht is more like a symbol of the luxury of the two hotels. As for the profit, there is no hope yet!

But with a yacht, it can sublimate the character of the two hotels a little bit.

Under the leadership of the staff, the two passed the beach, and then came to a small pier; the so-called small pier was built by the hotel and can park ten small yachts.

The two hotels bought a total of nine yachts, six for Ritz and three for Shangri-La.

Sitting on a yacht in the 1960s, you can also feel luxury and luxury; yachts in this era are mainly made of glued wood structures, and fiberglass has not yet been applied to yachts;

Moreover, the flybridge system of the yacht has not yet been developed, but at least there is a rather large deck where you can drink tea.

Wu Guangyao and Brother Fang were drinking tea and chatting on the deck, while four bodyguards in black stood straight not far away.

The yacht starts slowly and will circle around the main island for a total of 50KM.

A citizen who took the Star Ferry saw two people sitting and drinking tea leisurely on a luxurious boat, and there were four bodyguards standing there. He couldn't help but asked around: "That boat is so strange. Do you know what it does?"

Yachting is definitely a rare thing in Hong Kong Island in this era. After all, it has only been popular in Europe and the United States for ten years.

"I don't know much about it, it's called a yacht! To put it simply, it's a toy for rich people in Europe and America. These rich people can drive yachts, play in the sea, fish, relax, etc. The yacht you see seems to be Li You can buy it from Si Hotel or Shangri-La Hotel. If you have money, you can rent it for half a day, and bring your friends and family to play casually on the sea!"

"How much is half a day?"

"200 Hong Kong dollars!"

"What, two hundred Hong Kong dollars, this is thirty or forty more than my monthly salary!"

"That's why it is said that it is exclusive to the rich!"
