Chen Xia used to be very cautious when investing in Hong Kong, fearing that it would offend local capital.
It's because he was a doctor in both of his lives that he has relatively little knowledge of economics.
He always believed that in Hong Kong, as long as he did not play with finance or engage in real estate development, he would not touch other people's core interests.
Then the Chen family will be safe.
As a result, the Wang family of Wing Lung Bank taught him a lesson.
The issue is not whether you have touched other people’s cakes, the point is that your cakes are so delicious that people will come and take them away along with the bowl.
Yes, if you want to join the industry they dominate, you are breaking the rules of the game.
On the other hand, if they want to mess with you and kill your entire family, the rules of the game will become bullshit.
For example, now, Chen Xia has developed the jewelry industry with his golden fingers and opened stores all over Hong Kong, but the Zhou family thinks that he is provoking them and destroying the unspoken rules of the wealthy circle.
They naturally thought that electricity belonged to the Li family; urban transportation and the bus company belonged to the Guo family; the gas company belonged to the Wang family; mobile communications belonged to the Zhou family; and the shipping industry belonged to the Bao family.
The real estate industry is jointly owned by the top ten financial groups, and no one else can interfere.
This time, Chen Xia wanted to protect Wang Lianjie and take advantage of the martial arts trend in the early 1990s to develop his own film and television company. However, he was considered to be breaking the rules of the game and disrupting the tacit understanding among the wealthy.
Because the boss of the film and television industry belongs to the Zhou family, this is tacitly acknowledged by everyone, and this is the rule of the game for Hong Kong people.
Then Chen Xia couldn't understand it. Wasn't Hong Kong a free port? Didn't the British Hong Kong government declare it to be the land of free democrats?
How come he wanted to develop his own business, without stealing or robbing, but ended up being a breaker of the rules of the game?
Are you playing double standards?
The news Chen Shuqin brought back the next day was not good news.
She had always had a good relationship with the Zhou family and was also acquainted with Jiahe's boss, Zhou Yuwen, so she went there in person to inform them that Mr. Wang Lianjie had signed a contract with Four Seasons Films and would develop in both mainland China and Hong Kong.
At the same time, in order to respect the Zhou family, Chen Shuqin personally set up a table in the restaurant and invited boss Zhou Yuwen and Zhou Er to come and have a meal.
In Hong Kong, hosting a banquet to entertain guests is a way of showing the greatest goodwill. Even in the business world, it is considered the biggest concession, indicating that the Four Seasons Group has no intention of becoming an enemy of the Zhou Group.
As a result, Zhou Yuwen not only refused the invitation, but also explicitly asked Chen Shuqin to hand over Wang Yongjie.
He also taught this junior a lesson with a stern face, telling her not to break the rules of the underworld, and that no one could stop the Zhou family from dealing with those they wanted to deal with.
When Chen Shuqin reluctantly hung up the phone, she clearly heard Zhou Yuwen say to others in a contemptuous tone:
"This northern girl wants to get involved in the film and television industry, but she's overestimating herself."
In this era, "Beigu" actually means the same as "Fengjie", which means calling Chen Shuqin a "junkie".
Since the Four Seasons Group had grown, when had she ever heard such insulting words? She was so angry that she threw all the documents on her desk.
The Zhou family has the confidence. The Zhou Group is one of the top ten conglomerates in Hong Kong, with jewelry stores, film and television companies, real estate, telecommunications companies, etc.
Although Four Seasons Group has a large overseas asset base and receives billions of dollars in royalties and dividends every year, its income may exceed that of ordinary consortiums.
But outsiders don’t know all this.
Because Four Seasons Group is not a listed company, its financial statements are not public.
In the eyes of Hong Kong people, Four Seasons Group is just the largest pharmaceutical retailer and jewelry store in Hong Kong, and it also owns shares in the Tsuen Wan Pharmaceutical Factory.
That's all.
Outsiders don’t even know that the property management company under the Four Seasons Group already owns more than 10,000 residential units, 58 office buildings, and numerous shops.
In the eyes of these top wealthy people, this giant crocodile hidden under the water is just an ordinary rich family.
Chen Xia was in the hospital at that time. Listening to Chen Shuqin's madness, he felt both angry and amused.
"Aunt, see? Yesterday I told you not to reason with them, but you refused to listen and insisted on going to inform them in person. You even wanted to treat them to a meal. Do you regret it now?"
"Get lost, you little brat! Your aunt has been insulted like this, and you're still so heartless. Do you want me to help you in the future? Wasn't this incident caused by you?"
Chen Xia quickly asked the aunt to sit down, flattering her and pinching her shoulders:
"Don't worry, little aunt. No matter how the Zhou family scolds you today, I will scold them back. It's okay if they just talk, but if they do anything to harm the Four Seasons Group, they will be the ones who will suffer."
"But Xiao Xia, the Zhou family is one of the top ten richest families after all. You may not know their power in the mainland. Now that the foreigners are retreating, won't they still have the final say in Hong Kong?"
"They have the final say? They're overthinking it. Our Chen family hasn't said anything yet. How can they have the final say?"
"Bah, you just brag!"
Here, the aunt and niece of the Chen family were discussing the affairs of the Zhou family, and over there, at Zhou Yutong's house, the Zhou brothers were also talking about the Chen family.
"Brother, what's up with this Northern girl Chen Shuqin? She's been targeting our family everywhere. She initially tricked us into only doing jadeite business, but now she's selling everything. Isn't this a blatant attempt to steal our jewelry business?
They've already taken over the jewelry business, but now they're even trying to get involved in the film and television industry? If I hadn't brought Wang Lianjie from mainland China to Hong Kong to develop his career, would he have become so famous?
Now this guy wants to burn his bridges, feels he's grown strong enough to fly solo, and even clings to the Chen family. I can't stand this. When did our Zhou family become so powerful that even a mainlander could manipulate them at will?
Jiahe boss Zhou Yuwen has a very hot temper. When he gets angry, he is not afraid of anyone.
He was a senior executive of Shaw Brothers at the time, but because of his disagreement with Mr. Shaw, he left Shaw Brothers in a fit of anger and founded his own "Jiahe Film Company"
He even refused to give face to Mr. Shao, the godfather of the film and television industry, which shows how stubborn his character is.
There are not many real action stars in Hong Kong, so Bruce Lee, as well as Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung who were both from the Dragon Tiger Class, were able to become famous in one battle.
After watching the movie "Shaolin Temple", Zhou Yuwen was very optimistic about Jet Wang and felt that this was a money-making machine.
As a result, the cooked duck has escaped and joined forces with the mainlanders, which not only made him lose face, but also made him lose his substance.
It would be strange if you could tolerate the anger of a guy who wants to kill someone over a disagreement.
The eldest brother Zhou and his companions sat on the sofa without saying a word, listening to their second brother's complaints, but in their hearts they were thinking about how to use this incident to deal a severe blow to the Four Seasons Group.
So what if you have mainland capital support? He is confident that they have the final say in Hong Kong.
