Chapter 624: Woman's Heart
Yang Dongxu flew to Hong Kong after staying in Hangzhou for a few days. Compared with Bai Feng who talked about marriage first, Fu Chaming's wedding was relatively urgent, which was very similar to the blind date in the countryside, where people met and fell in love, and then they exchanged gifts, and then they got married.
The hotel where the wedding was held was the Peninsula Hotel, which has the title of "Oriental Lady". The Peninsula Hotel was built in 1922 and was once the command post of the British Army stationed in Hong Kong. It was used as a command post by Japan during World War II and later returned to the original owner.
In 1994, two years ago, the expansion project was carried out on the original basis. A new 30-story wing was added to the north. There is a helicopter airport on the top floor, which is convenient for important guests to use helicopters to travel directly to and from Hong Kong International Airport or travel over Hong Kong.
This is a wholly foreign-owned hotel, which is naturally British-owned. Hong Kong will return next year, and the mainland has just celebrated the National Day. Many people who come to attend the wedding will inevitably think more about holding a wedding in such a hotel.
Yang Dongxu is naturally the one who needs to think more. Although his relationship with the rich family cannot compare with such national events, the friction between the two sides is not well-known, but at least they know each other well.
Yang Dongxu is now the largest real estate developer in Hong Kong. This does not mean how many office buildings and residential houses he has developed in Hong Kong. It means that he has been crazy about purchasing houses in Hong Kong in the past two years, which has definitely reached the level of Yang Bancheng. He has never bought land and built houses in Hong Kong, but he has countless houses in his hands, which is more like real estate developers than real estate developers.
The biggest competitor of Yang Dongxu is naturally British capital, because before Hong Kong returned, not all Hong Kong wealth belonged to Britain, but at least British capital accounted for a large proportion, and real estate was the focus of the focus.
In fact, it was these people who blew up the Hong Kong real estate bubble at the beginning. Although the top leaders have determined to implement the one country, two systems policy when Hong Kong is about to return, these people must be uneasy, so if they want to sell the money in their hands at a good price, they naturally have to blow up the bubble a little and then pass it on to others.
But the involvement of Yang Dongxu, the troublemaker, made those who originally wanted to get out of it start to hesitate. Because Yang Dongxu did not hide his identity, his circle and connections at all. He also called a large number of people to buy real estate in Hong Kong, as if he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and wait for the government to take over at a high price.
This made the foreign capital that originally wanted to blow up the bubble and then withdraw, soberly withdraw, greedy still hesitant, and even jealous and crazy.
The residential building that was just sold yesterday rose by 10% today. If it was just a 1 million apartment, and it lost 100,000 at once, maybe it would just be distressed and regret selling it too early. But hundreds of millions of assets, suddenly lost tens of millions, it would be crazy.
Especially after spending an extra 10 million, the fixed assets that were sold were bought back, and the housing prices rose by 10% after more than a month. The house that was originally bought at a high price was sold again, and it was sold for more than 10 million more than before. This is not just jealousy and madness, it is simply obsession and unable to extricate oneself.
In such an environment, Hong Kong's housing prices, which were not low to begin with, have been rising like a bubble. In just one year in 1995, they have grown by 50%. This year is even crazier than last year. Just after October, the real estate price has risen by more than 70%. It seems that it can be foreseen that it will double before 1997.
So at this time, everyone is buying houses like crazy, holding on to their houses and not selling them, for fear of losing money if they sell them early. In addition, there is news from somewhere that the rich people in the mainland will buy a large number of properties in Hong Kong to set up company headquarters after Hong Kong's return. Yang Dongxu is just one of the representatives who started early.
This has made the already crazy real estate market even crazier. The casino's favorite is not the guests who leave directly after losing money, but the guests who have won red eyes after winning, because no matter how much they win, they will spit out double in the end.
So looking at the increasingly crazy Hong Kong real estate market, Yang Dongxu was originally worried about how to raise more funds. It turned out that you can't buy a house with money now, even if you offer a high price. Everyone is holding on to their houses and not selling them. Whether it is the government taking over or the mainland rich businessmen taking over, it seems that all the people who own houses are full of confidence.
The source of their confidence is that Hong Kong is the most prosperous, while the mainland is very backward. Rich people definitely want to live in prosperous Hong Kong and set up their own companies in Hong Kong, because compared to the mainland, which has just developed Shenzhen or Shanghai. Hong Kong is the shining pearl of the East, one of the international metropolises and international financial centers.
So if the mainland wants to enter the international market, Hong Kong is the best springboard, especially after Hong Kong's return, the government has a certain control over it, and there is no place more suitable as a springboard than it.
So for the original gambling hoarders, if there is no confidence, what else can there be? For the sake of profit, businessmen can abandon dignity, not to mention the law. How long will it take to gamble with such a convincing reason?
So now Yang Dongxu wants to use money to support foreign businessmen who want to run away, or to purchase more properties from residents to reduce the losses of ordinary people after the bubble bursts, because they simply sell the properties in their hands.
"When did you have a relationship with the rich family?" Yang Dongxu asked in surprise as he looked at Bai Feng who appeared in front of him in an evening dress.
Although the expansion project of the Peninsula Hotel has not yet been completed, today they made an exception to stop the work for the wealthy family and let them book the venue to hold a wedding banquet. This was a courtesy that had never been given since the completion of the Peninsula Hotel, so that this hasty wedding was also Call it the wedding of the century.
In addition, the rich family seems to want to show off their muscles at this wedding. Everyone in the rich family who had secretly separated their families used their own connections. Not to mention the rich people in Hong Kong, many rich people from all over the world came.
Originally, Yang Dongxu's female companion at the wedding was Zhou Ya. After all, Zhou Ya happened to have time in the Mainland. Due to the relationship between the two families, it would be rude for her not to come.
But when she learned that the wedding was held at the Peninsula Hotel, and that the traditional wedding recommended by Yang Dongxu was only partially adopted in terms of clothing, and the entire wedding still followed Western procedures, Zhou Ya declined and did not come again.
As for bringing Chen Hong or other female companions over. It would be inappropriate for him to bring any female companion without Zhou Ya, so he simply came over alone.
Although he was alone and did not know many world-class celebrities, Yang Dongxu did not feel lonely. Although he has no acquaintances in the celebrity world, everyone in the entertainment industry knows about him as a big boss.
For such a wedding, male and female celebrities who want to be famous must be keen to get in and see if they can catch a big fish, so naturally there are many people from the entertainment industry, and there is even no shortage of big-name celebrities.
Almost all of Hainer's namesakes and people who have been around in Hong Kong circles came here without missing a single one, so they naturally came over to say hello when they saw the big boss like him.
Yang Dongxu dealt with it for a long time, talking to a few familiar people, and then Fu Decai went to entertain others. He accidentally saw Bai Feng in the crowd.
"Why, you have a few Hong Kong friends, but I can't have any friends?" Bai Feng, who looked elegant in an evening dress, was holding a goblet and looking at him with a teasing smile on her lips.
"No matter how lenient I am, can I still control who you make friends with?" Yang Dongxu replied nonchalantly.
Seeing that the other party really didn't care, he was just surprised because he didn't know she would come before, and didn't mean anything else. Bai Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think too much, the domestic base station is about to start construction." Well, I was inspecting and discussing technology with a Hong Kong telecommunications company these days, and I happened to meet the other party who also invited me, so naturally I wanted to take it."
"Are you trying to make me think more, or do you not want me to think too much?" Yang Dongxu looked at the dull expression on Bai Feng's face without any fluctuation.
It's okay if Bai Feng doesn't explain. This explanation makes it difficult for people to think about it. You happen to be on a business trip in Hong Kong, so why does the rich family give you, a stranger, an invitation to attend the wedding?
Nowadays, the conflict between the rich family and Yang Dongxu is well known to everyone. But there are a lot of rumors circulating, and the most crazy rumor is that the rich family wants to leave his big ship and go it alone, and the main focus of development is still in the mainland.
Now that Bai Feng is relying on the Wei family, it is difficult for people not to think about her explanation. The rich family invited her here just to express their goodwill and prepare to build their own network of contacts in the mainland, and the past conflicts between him and the Wei family were nothing. secret. So the enemy of the enemy is one's friend.
"You are still as smart as ever." Bai Feng smiled and raised his glass in toast to Yang Dongxu.
This sentence still has two meanings. One is that Yang Dongxu has a calm heart and sees through her trick. The other is that Yang Dongxu is smart enough. As soon as he sees her appearing at the wedding of the rich family, he understands the relationship between her and the rich family. The relationship between. In short, the methods of sowing discord continue.
Yang Dongxu glanced at Bai Feng, gathered the wine glass in his hand and took a sip without saying anything. She was the one who showed her true temperament when Yan Jing was helping her, and now she is the one who is as calm as an old fox, seducing others.
A woman's heart alone is beyond the reach of a needle in the ocean. Yang Dongxu is too sensible to explore the heart of a beautiful and intelligent woman without curiosity.
"Is that the wedding dress you recommended to me? It looks pretty good." Yang Dongxu didn't want to talk to Bai Feng to avoid losing more brain cells, but the other party didn't seem to let him go.
"We are in a hurry, so the dress preparation is not good enough. When it comes to your wedding, both the dress and the wedding will be so luxurious that you can't imagine. The ancient emperors who married their daughters are probably not as good as you." Yang Dongxu calmed down and said, After all, she is a customer, and I still want to make money from her, he comforted himself in his heart.
