Chapter 505: A Legend

There are many people with the surname Huo. If you say Mr. Huo in Xiangjiang, then it is probably Huo Yingdong.

Huo Yingdong's background and experience are extremely complicated, and there is no way to explain in detail. In the eyes of Xiangjiang people, this big man has mixed reputation and reputation, but Yin Jun is full of respect for him.

He is a legend, and Bao Yugang is a bit insignificant compared to him, let alone Li Chaoren and He Gambling King, they are all juniors——He Gambling King started with a casino license. Or borrow Huo Yingdong's money to buy it. When it came time for the casino to make a lot of money, Huo Yingdong didn't hesitate at all, and directly donated Nuoda's shares to his charity fund, and would not use a single profit from it for personal affairs.

Huo Yingdong is not only a legend in the business world, but also has a first-class character.

If it is said that when the country is in crisis, who can destroy the home of the wealthy Xiangjiang and relieve the crisis, Huo Yingdong must be the first one.

In fact, that's what he did, so the dignified originator of a real estate business was repeatedly suppressed by the British for decades, and finally overtaken by a series of younger generations.

You must know that Huo Yingdong came up with the methods of buying a house with installment payment and pre-selling a house. Such methods are still used decades later.

If he has been engaged in real estate, I am afraid that Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji, and Zheng Yoga will not have as much wealth as him.

It's a pity, because Huo Yingdong tends to the mainland in everything, so he was suppressed in the early 1970s. Currently, real estate has no part for him at all.

Huo Yingdong is worthy of being a genius, and he also has the courage of a self-made rich man.

If you don't let me do real estate, then I will do other things.

After fading out from the real estate business, he focused on the cargo terminal industry in Xiangjiang.

Even the first container terminal in Xiangjiang, which will be the No. 1 terminal with the largest throughput in the future, was successfully bid by Huo Yingdong, but in the end the British turned their backs and ruined the bidding, so he didn't make it trucking industry.

Otherwise, according to his relationship with the mainland, as long as he controls the freight terminal, the goods needed by the mainland must be docked and loaded and unloaded here first, and then enter the customs.

Think about the vigorous development of the mainland in the 1980s and 1990s. So many imported materials were transferred through Hong Kong's wharf. This kind of wealth is like sea water.

Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji, and Zheng Yutong happen to be in the real estate and wharf freight industries, so they can become the top five super rich in Asia.

After what happened at Pier 1, Huo Yingdong understood, you don't let me do this, you don't let me do that, you are trying to force me to death!

Therefore, he gradually withdrew many business activities, and gradually shifted his focus to sports and public charity, as well as various donations and support to the mainland.

Precisely because he often does those thankless public works that don't make much money, the people of Xiangjiang have a very good impression of him, much better than Li Chaoren's reputation.

Of course, Huo Yingdong is a banner of the mainland in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong, British government suppressed him because of the mainland, the mainland must not watch him suffer.

Therefore, before the 1970s, merchants in Xiangjiang could still buy river sand in the mainland, but since Huo Yingdong was severely suppressed, the mainland no longer sold river sand to second people, and only sold to Huo Yingdong alone.

Do you want to buy river sand?

Well, I can only find Huo Yingdong!

In modernization construction, what is lacking in river sand?

Building houses, roads, seawalls, etc., Xiangjiang wants to develop, but river sand is indispensable every day.

There are countless sea sands in the islands around the Xiangjiang River. However, although sea sand is also sand, it is completely different from river sand, and there is no way to use it.

The area around the Xiangjiang River is 600 kilometers, and there is only one place in the mainland that can have river sand. Baodao is 800 kilometers away, and it is a small island. Its own river sand is not enough, and it is impossible to give it to Xiangjiang in large quantities. up.

Besides, the addition of freight and labor costs for such a long distance is not a small sum. It is far less convenient and quicker than obtaining materials in eastern and western Guangdong in the mainland.

Because of such a river sand, Huo Yingdong became the master of all construction companies and real estate development companies. No matter how the British suppressed him, he was able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, and was honored as the "Tsar" in the end.

Have no idea.

Can the industrial chain of the construction industry be separated from river sand?

Even Jardine Matheson is such an amazing existence, why don't you try to annoy Huo Yingdong?

Stop supplying river sand to all companies under Jardine Matheson, and tomorrow Jardine Matheson will have its share price plummet by 50%.

With such a support, is it inconvenient for Huo Yingdong to do things in Xiangjiang?

Although the British do not allow him to get involved in influential industries, such as real estate, docks, etc., Huo Yingdong can do other business.

For example, buy dozens of shops to maintain value, and sell them when the value appreciates.

Or directly, buy a piece of land, and then sell it to a real estate company when the land price increases.

In fact, Huo Yingdong bought a large amount of land as early as the 1960s. At that time, Xiangjiang, even Tsim Sha Tsui and Sheung Wan were still barren land, and the land was very cheap.

Huo Yingdong was banned from real estate development, but the land in his hands has always been there, so his net worth has already increased by more than ten times. By the time he passed away due to illness in 2006, the value of these lands had already increased by a hundred times.

Since the Huo Xingyetang of the Huo family is not listed, it is unknown how much land and real estate they own. However, when the Huo family's sons and daughters competed for the family property, they uncovered the tip of the iceberg, from more than 30 billion to more than 600 million Billion, and then to more than 100 billion, it can only be said that Mr. Huo is worthy of being Jiang or Lao Spicy. There is so much wealth hidden in the water.

...

After Yin Jun came out from Li Chaoren, he called Huo Zhenting, the eldest son of the Huo family, in advance, expressing his intention to visit Mr. Huo.

Although Li Chaoren meant that Huo Yingdong wanted to see Yin Jun, but as a junior, Yin Jun would definitely not lose his place by calling himself.

Naturally, Huo Zhenting called back immediately, inviting Yin Jun to visit their house tomorrow.

Huo Yingdong's house is not on the top of Victoria Peak, but it is also at the foot of Victoria Peak. This mansion located on Sassoon Road on Victoria Road has something to do with the entertainment industry.

It was built by Lu Yuntao, the eldest son of the Lu family, the richest man in Malaysia, in the 1930s. Lu Yuntao was the boss of Dianmao Film Company. He once defeated the Shaw Brothers and Sons Film Company. Shao Yifu only struggled hard when he came here. If it weren’t for Lu Yuntao’s family for 64 years Killed in a plane crash, whether the Shaw Brothers can dominate the Xiangjiang film industry for 20 years is a question.

After Lu Yuntao passed away, this house was always considered unlucky by others. It was not until about 70 years that Huo Yingdong took it over. More than a dozen, including his granddaughter-in-law Diving Queen Guo Meimei, also lived there.

It was the first time to visit the old man's house, Yin Jun didn't know what to bring, so he simply brought a set of mutton fat white jade jewelry from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which has a good meaning and a reasonable price, and is also suitable for the elderly.

Sure enough, after Huo Yingdong saw the mutton fat white jade necklace, bracelet, and pendant that Yin Jun brought, he felt very happy. After looking at it for a while, he handed it to the eldest son who was waiting beside him.

Whether he really likes these jewelry, Yin Jun doesn't know, but this is a very obvious signal, proving that Huo Yingdong has a very good impression of Yin Jun.

Huo Zhenting is slightly fat, naked, with a ponytail, and looks like a literati, but he doesn't speak much.

Yin Jun didn't see his second brother Huo Zhenhuan, he is probably working in the company at home now.

Originally in the early 1970s, Huo Yingdong wanted the boss Huo Zhenting to take over the company, but after Huo Zhenhuan returned to Xiangjiang in 1973, gradually took care of the family business and made many outstanding achievements, Huo Yingdong changed his mind , Vigorously raised the second son.

As for the eldest son, he has always liked him very much, so he often brings him with him, and at the same time, let him start to contact people in sports, and prepare him to become a wealthy scholar.

However, Yin Jun also knows that although Huo Yingdong is a top-notch person, he still has some regrets when educating his children and dealing with family affairs.

In this regard, he is not as good as Li Chaoren.

But things are not that simple.

Li Chaoren has only one wife and two sons, so it is naturally easier to manage and distribute.

Huo Yingdong's three-bedroom wife and ten or so children made it even more complicated.

The same is true for He Gambler of Omen, with four wives and more than a dozen children. As a result, when he was still alive, the family was in trouble, and the Huo family was at least five or six years after Huo Yingdong passed away, and the conflicts could not be concealed in the end .

"Ah Jun!" The 57-year-old Huo Yingdong is almost bald and thin, but he is very energetic, "Have you been in Xiangjiang for two years?"

"Yes." Yin Jun nodded.

"You have suffered a lot when you came to Xiangjiang, but it's beyond my imagination that you can get ahead so soon." Huo Yingdong looked at Yin Jun approvingly and said, "Your success comes from talent and hard work, but your respect for Hua The care of compatriots in the country and the grasp of the overall situation are not even comparable to many old businessmen."

In his own factory, Yin Jun gave priority to the compatriots who came to Xiangjiang from the mainland and gave them great support so that they could get rid of suffering and live with their hands. This is something everyone can see.

Yin Jun hurriedly said modestly, "Mr. Huo, I just did what I should do. I am originally from the mainland. Since everyone is a hard-working person, I should naturally help them more when I achieve something. "

In the 1980s, the rich in Xiangjiang generally paid more attention to giving back to their hometowns in the mainland.

Huo Yingdong, Chartered Ship King, Li Chaoren, Hu Yinxiang, Li Zhaoji... and other wealthy people have all donated money to the mainland and funded schools.

In this day and age, helping compatriots in the mainland is a very common thing among the rich in Xiangjiang. Even the Xiangjiang government doesn't ask much about it, as long as you pay taxes in my Xiangjiang.

If Yin Jun was still so close to the mainland ten years later, when the British broke the pot, he would be ridiculed and squeezed a lot.

Besides, now that those people have taken Xiangjiang ID cards, they are already Xiangjiang people, so Yin Jun taking care of them is helping the Xiangjiang government, which is a great thing.

Of course, the main reason is that the best governor of Xiangjiang, MacLehose, is now in power. He has no views of the family, and he is broad-minded. He likes to think about Xiangjiang, and he has no hatred for the mainland.

It is definitely Yin Jun's blessing to meet such a good governor at this time.

If you meet Fei Peng, give it a try, and it will make you cry in minutes.

"It's good to think so...you are good!" Huo Yingdong laughed, "We are already old, and the future depends on you young people. If you can keep doing this, then believe me, your future The future is absolutely limitless."

"I don't want any future. If I can do my own business safely and help many people, that would be the best." Yin Jun replied harmoniously.

"It's not easy to be stable." Huo Yingdong said, "In Xiangjiang, the British are in charge now. If one day, they want you to completely oppose the mainland, in return, they will support you. Otherwise, you will be suppressed like me, and you can only struggle... Do you want to accept this kind of exchange?"

Yin Jun was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly.

For a person like Huo Yingdong, every word he said would not be nonsense.

When he asked this question, he naturally had his own considerations.

Relying on the power of the tsar, everyone thought that Huo Yingdong had already reached the pinnacle of his life as a prince, but only Yin Jun knew that Huo Yingdong's most glorious time had not yet come!

After the Huaying Joint Statement was issued in 1984, Xiangjiang's return to the mainland was already unstoppable. At this time, not only all the businessmen wanted to curry favor with Huo Yingdong, but the British did not dare to offend Huo Yingdong.

Even in 1993, Huo Yingdong became the deputy director of politics in one fell swoop, a proper deputy at the level, just like Boss Rong's deputy, it belongs to the pinnacle that a businessman can achieve!

Huo Yingdong's deputy position is not quite the same as Li Chaoren's later deputy position. There are more people who sell Huo Yingdong's face than those who sell Li Chaoren's face.

As long as Huo Yingdong is around, he will be the first one recognized by the mainland government in Xiangjiang, and no one else can replace him.

Knowing this point clearly, Yin Jun already had a clear understanding of his position and what attitude he should take towards Huo Yingdong.

In general, it is to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Huo in the overall situation, and to obtain the approval of Mr. Huo for various investment layouts in the mainland.

As long as these two points can be achieved, then Yin Jun's mainland entertainment career can be unbelievably smooth.

When Yin Jun has fully laid out the layout of the mainland, even if Hollywood blockbusters want to come to this future world to rank as the largest box office market to grab money, it will depend on whether Yin Jun is happy or not.

This is the benefit of preconceived ideas!

Yin Jun never thought that with his several years of hard work and support to the mainland, the mainland government would be able to obey him.

Only a businessman like Huo Yingdong, who has been deeply involved in the mainland for decades, and whose character and reputation are well known in the mainland, can have the face and ability to make the mainland government, based on his proposal, make some things that the government actually thinks are not good. How can something be done properly - for example, the development of Nansha was promoted by Huo Yingdong.

Knowing so clearly a long time ago, Yin Jun naturally knew what to say to Huo Yingdong's question now.
