As soon as He Guohua said that, Fu Wan understood instantly.
The person Stephen would spend eight million Hong Kong dollars to buy fish to please must be of high status.
As if sensing Fu Wan's doubts, He Guozhong paused and said, "Ms. Fu, don't worry, his actions will not have any impact on the Hong Kong market."
"Of course, isn't Boss He here?"
Fu Wan laughed and made a joke, then rubbed her hands together.
"Oh, I was just asking casually. Mr. He, how are we going to split the money for the yellow croaker?"
He Guozhong was not surprised by Fu Wan's frankness. He turned around and gestured for his secretary to come forward, then took a piece of paper from the secretary's hand.
"Miss Fu, this is the reward you deserve. You worked hard at the fishing competition."
Fu Wan took the paper upon hearing this. Although it was written in traditional Chinese characters, she could still roughly understand it.
The paper was a remittance slip, and the amount on it was clearly the price of the fish that had just been auctioned!
"Mr. He, isn't this too much... Why did you transfer all the money from selling the yellow croaker to me?!"
Fu Wan looked up in disbelief. He Guozhong was much more shrewd than He Guohua. You know, organizing an auction requires a lot of manpower and resources, yet he gave her all the auction proceeds without asking for a single penny. This was just too strange to look at.
Back in the capital, Wan Jinlai had to take a 6% cut just to save face for Third Master!
He Guozhong noticed the doubt and unease in Fu Wan's eyes and immediately laughed.
"Let Ahua talk to Miss Fu about this. I have a meeting, so I'll be leaving now."
"By the way, Miss Fu and Mr. Bai, would you do me the honor of joining us for a casual dinner at my home tonight?"
Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, He Guozhong took his mobile phone and left the venue with his secretary.
Fu Wan turned to look at He Guohua, who was smiling broadly.
"Boss He, tell me, what kind of riddle are you two playing?"
He Guohua smiled mysteriously, "This is not the place to talk, Miss Fu, let's go outside first."
"Let's go out then," Fu Wan thought, unperturbed, "I have the remittance slip in hand."
She was just a little curious. There was no way that someone like He Guozhong would do charity. If he didn't want a single penny of the auction proceeds, it meant that he must have profited from somewhere else!
Moreover, the profit is definitely not small!
After a moment's thought, Fu Wan followed He Guohua off the field.
The people at the auction dispersed quickly, and there were only a few cars left parked outside.
As soon as Fu Wan and the others got into the car and settled in, He Guohua spoke up to clear up Fu Wan's doubts.
"Ahem, Miss Fu, I did know a long time ago that I was giving you all the money. My brother was right, you really deserve it."
Thanks to you, our He family has also gained a small benefit from this."
After saying that, he gestured with his hand.
"Small profits? Like your dock usage rights...?"
Bai Qianzhou was the first to react. He hadn't been idle these past two days; he knew quite a bit about the intricate relationships among the wealthy families in Hong Kong.
The Ho family's prosperity initially stemmed from the profits generated by dock transportation and department stores.
He Guohua laughed and glanced at Bai Qianzhou with surprise.
"It seems Mr. Bai is not only good at treating illnesses, but also has a keen business sense!"
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Fu Wan didn't seem surprised at all, and asked in astonishment, "Miss Fu, you guessed it too?"
Fu Wan nodded and smiled, "Most likely. Let me guess, this auction is not simple, is it? Besides the face value of this golden cod, is there... cough cough, other transactions involved?"
Upon hearing this, He Guohua readily admitted: "Haha, yes, you all remember when I said that Stephen, that foreigner, was buying the golden croaker to give as a gift, right?"
The fish were given to the person in charge, but actually, even without him, someone else would have bid. In the end, all the fish were given away. They also promised us, in addition to the pier usage rights promised for the fishing competition, fifty more piers, and extended the usage period to twenty years!
"Fifty? Twenty years?!"
So hasty? Just for a fish?
Fu Wan was astonished. No wonder He Guozhong didn't ask for a single penny of the auction money. Twenty years of dock usage rights could easily earn him hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, let alone millions.
No wonder He Guozhong is such an excellent businessman, Fu Wan said admiringly, giving him a thumbs up.
Fang Min was completely confused, and it took her a while to understand what He Guohua meant.
So today's auction was just a formality, and the one who will ultimately get the golden croaker must be someone from the Governor's high-ranking position!
Tsk, she's still too inexperienced.
What Fang Min could figure out, Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou had already guessed. This wasn't the first time they had encountered such a perfunctory situation.
Who cares, as long as the money ends up in my own hands.
Fu Wan put away the remittance slip, planning to go to the bank in the afternoon to transfer the money into her own account.
After this matter is settled, she can return to the mainland with peace of mind.
"By the way, Mr. He, have we booked our tickets back?"
He Guohua responded and reached out his hand to A Cai.
Ah Cai hurriedly handed over a bag, which He Guohua opened and took out several tickets from inside.
"Li Zhong is busy with other matters for now, Miss Fu. He booked a flight for tomorrow afternoon. I will have Ah Cai take you there."
After saying that, he sighed with some regret, "Alas, I originally wanted to go back to the mainland with you, but so many docks have all fallen into the hands of the Ho family. My brother wants me to stay and help out. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the mainland for a while!"
"Haha, the capable should do more, Mr. He. When you return to the mainland, be sure to contact me. I'll invite you to go out to sea in our area!"
He Guohua wasn't particularly interested in going to sea, but he would be quite interested if he could get his hands on some golden croaker.
Speaking of going overseas, He Guohua remembered something else.
"Miss Fu, I've already arranged for the paperwork to be completed for your speedboat and transported to the mainland. Li Zhong will contact you once it's cleared customs."
Fu Wan was somewhat surprised and looked at He Guohua with gratitude.
"Oh, you really delivered it to me! Thank you so much, Mr. He. It saved me a lot of trouble."
He Guohua waved his hand and laughed, "This is nothing. I'm happy that you were able to win such a big speedboat from that kid He Guoli."
At this point, Ah Cai couldn't help but chime in with a smile.
"Hehe, Miss Fu, you don't know yet, do you? He Guoli and He Guosheng have completely fallen out."
"They've fallen out?" Fu Wan asked with a gossipy look.
Seeing that He Guohua didn't seem to be stopping him, Ah Cai became even more gleeful and gossiped, "Haha, I heard from Ah Wang that He Guoli, that bastard, only remembered what happened at sea after he woke up."
He was furious that He Guosheng had used him as a shield, so he went to the next ward and pulled out all of He Guosheng's needles, and even kicked He Guosheng off the bed and onto the ground.
"Tsk, what a pity we weren't there, otherwise I would definitely have taken pictures of Ho Kwok-sing's miserable state and had the paparazzi put him in the newspaper!"
