Chapter 329: Barker Road Luxury House and Miss Hong Kong
After studying Italian for a whole night, Qi Sheng did not gain as much as Ceretti.
Under his teaching, Cereti said a lot of livelier titles.
But in the final analysis, the two of them are just a transaction.
Qi Sheng left Milan without any reluctance and took his private plane.
Returning to China, I spend time with the group of pregnant women at home.
After being silent for less than a month, Qi Sheng appeared at the Spicy King roadshow.
It’s no secret that Spicy King is on the market.
Many investors are eager to buy Lawang shares after the listing so that they can make a fortune.
Lawang has seven stores in four first-tier cities, Chengdu and Chongqing.
Five branches were opened in second-tier cities.
Three branches were opened in third-tier cities.
Two branches were opened in fourth-tier cities.
Today, Lawang has 622 stores across the country and employs more than 100,000 people!
Although the number of stores is less than half of Haidilao.
However, the sales per square meter of a single store crushed the other company.
The annual turnover exceeds 60 billion, and the net profit is as high as 12 billion.
The number of its stores is only half of Haidilao's, but its turnover is twice as much.
In terms of net profit, the two are incomparable.
This is why Lawang refused to raise further funds.
Otherwise, you will be knocked down by a group of investors waving checks.
Lawang’s roadshow was even more popular than Pop Mart’s.
After all, Lawang is a catering giant with the potential to reach a trillion-dollar market value!
Because there are too many investors, Lawang did not hold so many roadshows.
It was only held once in Hong Kong Island, and the tickets were sold at sky-high prices.
But this time when he came to Hong Kong Island, Qi Sheng did not stay at the Four Seasons Hotel.
Although the hotel is very good, it is crowded and eye-catching.
Thinking that he might come to Hong Kong Island frequently in the future, Qi Sheng thought about buying a property in Hong Kong Island.
If you ask where the wealthy people in Hong Kong like to live the most, it must be Barker Road in the Peak.
Even Mr. Ma, who has never liked money, bought a luxury house on Barker Road.
Mr. Ma does not like money, but he did not say that he does not like luxury houses! ...
Barker Road is only 1.7 kilometers long.
Although it is a two-lane two-way carriageway, buses and minibuses are prohibited from passing through.
The main entrances of the houses along the way are not on the roadside.
Instead, it is connected by an elevated ramp and there are security guards at the intersection.
Looking towards the south mountain, you can see the Lion Pavilion of Taiping Mountain.
Looking north, you can see Victoria Harbour and both sides of Central and Tsim Sha Tsui in the distance.
A seemingly simple house number.
The owners behind the scenes are a small group of the richest and most famous people in Hong Kong Island.
The average price of a single luxury home will not be less than 500 million yuan.
There are so many luxury homes worth over 1 billion that they cannot be counted on both hands.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom drove slowly along Barker Road towards the top of the mountain.
Finally, it stopped in front of the iron gate of a luxury house with the house number "35 Barker Road" on it.
The butler, who had been notified in advance, opened the black iron gate early.
The Phantom successfully drove into the alley inside the mansion, and Qi Sheng was able to get a glimpse of the true appearance of this most luxurious mansion in Hong Kong Island.
There are three white villas and an outdoor swimming pool.
This constitutes the super luxury mansion that has been hotly discussed by the people of Hong Kong Island.
When I bought the land for this luxury house 10 years ago.
The Li Zhaoji family spent a full 1.8 billion yuan, and the floor price was equivalent to 2 million yuan per square meter.
Yes, per square meter.
It took a full 10 years just to design and build this mansion.
Even though Qi Sheng had the power of compulsory acquisition, it still cost him 4 billion to buy this luxury house.
But I have to say, there is a reason why it is expensive.
Hong Kong Island has a large population and limited land area, and there are many people living in cramped conditions.
But the luxury house that Qi Sheng bought from the Li family has three villas with a total construction area of more than 2,300 square meters.
According to Hong Kong Island, it is a 26,675 square foot luxury house.
Three villas are built on a large platform.
Below the platform is a parking lot that can accommodate 16 cars in total.
It cost 400 million yuan to build this platform to park these 16 cars.
Led by the butler Zhou Fu, Qi Sheng visited the three villas.
No. 1 is the largest, with an area of 658 square meters.
No. 2 is the same size as No. 3, both are 590 square meters.
When the house was originally designed, Li Zhaoji and his two sons would each live in one unit.
But the old man is too old and has never moved here.
Qi Sheng took advantage of this opportunity.
If the system hadn't intervened, would the Li family be forced to sell this luxury house that took 10 years to build for a mere 4 billion yuan?
After all, Li Zhaoji was the former richest man in Hong Kong Island and he definitely doesn't lack this money.
…
Qi Sheng's move into No. 35 Barker Road naturally aroused the curiosity of many nearby neighbors.
After all, this is the 'Lee's Palace' painstakingly built by the family of Li Zhaoji, the former richest man in Hong Kong Island.
But who could have thought that it would be bought so suddenly.
Seeing the many invitations handed over by Zhou Fu, Qi Sheng looked at them one by one with great interest.
"Tomorrow night, please help me arrange a cocktail party and invite the neighbors nearby to attend."
"Yes, sir."
Zhou Fu bowed slightly.
"Nothing else, you should go to bed early."
Qi Sheng waved his hand and walked into the master bedroom.
The area of hundreds of square meters is enough to make people in Hong Kong Island envious.
Their so-called thousand-foot mansion was nothing more than the master bedroom where Qi Sheng lived.
Qi Sheng just came out of a hot bath wearing a swimsuit.
Just when Qi Sheng was about to fall asleep, Zhou Fu knocked on the door gently.
"Sir, are you resting now?"
"Not yet. What's up?"
Qi Sheng was browsing Muse out of boredom.
"There are several girls participating in this year's Miss Hong Kong pageant who hope to receive your sponsorship. Are you interested in meeting them?"
"Miss Hong Kong?"
Qi Sheng actually became interested and got up from the bed to open the door.
"Are there any photos?"
"Yes, the quality of this year's Miss Hong Kong is slightly better than the previous ones."
Zhou Fu took out his cell phone preparedly.
While Qi Sheng was flipping through the photos, he introduced the other person's information from time to time, including education level, figure, etc.
“It’s very ordinary.”
Qi Sheng really wasn't being picky. It was true that she couldn't compare to the pretty girls in the Hong Kong circle that he had imagined.
"There's nothing we can do. Girls in Hong Kong Island are getting worse with each generation. Miss Hong Kong is not as popular as before. It can only be a stepping stone for amateurs at best."
Zhou Fu was also helpless.
As a native of Hong Kong Island, he has witnessed the beauty and glamour of those Hong Kong actresses.
If the boss had been born 20 years earlier, he might have had the chance to get his hands on those Hong Kong actresses.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Miss Hong Kong pageant is a fake competition.
"Just Chen Shengyu and Song Wanying."
Qi Sheng picked out the tallest of the short guys and picked two lucky ones who were barely pleasing to his eyes.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Zhou Fu left in a hurry, not worrying at all that they would refuse.
Anyone from Hong Kong Island who hears the three words "Barker Road" will know how valuable this invitation is.
Just as Zhou Fu expected.
After receiving the invitation, Chen Shengyu and Song Wanying started dressing up without stopping.
It wasn't until the Rolls-Royce came to pick them up that they felt a little unreal.
I was really chosen by the super rich people in Baijiadao.
Watching the car driving along Barker Road towards the top of the mountain, Chen Shengyu and Song Wanying became more and more excited.
As we all know, the higher the mansion is on Barker Road, the more prominent the identity of its owner is.
It was not until the car arrived at No. 35 Barker Road and drove into the yard that we were greeted by the butler Zhou Fu.
They got out of the car with some excitement and fear.
"Good evening, ladies. Mr. Qi has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."
Zhou Fu smiled slightly and made an inviting gesture.
Chen Shengyu and Song Wanying, who had never gotten along well in the car.
They couldn't help but look at each other, each with their own little calculations in mind.
There aren't many opportunities to get close to such a super rich person.
The two of them don’t have a sponsor yet, so their ranking is not very high.
As long as you serve the financial sponsor well, it will be easy to get into the top three.
Today's Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has long become a tool for wealthy men to pursue their mistresses.
Not only mainland netizens are complaining, even Hong Kong locals are lamenting the lack of competition for the Miss Hong Kong title.
…
Walk into Villa No. 1 and look at the magnificent and luxurious decoration.
Chen Shengyu and Song Wanying couldn't help but feel ambitious, they also wanted to become the hostess here.
Just like the Miss Hong Kong predecessors in the past, they let the super-rich spend huge sums of money on them.
"I won't go in. Your performance will determine your final ranking in the Miss Hong Kong pageant."
"Mr. Qi is the head of Universal Entertainment. I believe you understand how important this opportunity is."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhou Fu’s words are concise and to the point.
"The head of Universal Entertainment?"
Chen Shengyu and Song Wanying's eyes lit up, obviously they were well-known to the mainland's Universal Entertainment.
After all, it had just spent 24 billion to acquire Wanda Films.
A leading film and television company in the entire cinema industry! Even big directors in Hong Kong Island would bow and nod to toast Qi Sheng when they saw him.
Otherwise, if you want to go north to make movies and make money? As long as Qi Sheng is unhappy, don't even think about getting any screenings.
With this mood, Chen Shengyu and Song Wanying gently pushed open the door.
Taking a deep breath, he prepared himself to be pressed down by the old man.
But the moment they saw Qi Sheng, they were both a little dazed.
They couldn't help but look at each other, with surprise flashing in their eyes, and called out in a sweet voice.
"Mr. Qi."
It turns out that the boss of Universe Entertainment and the owner of 35 Barker Road is so young!
"Go take a shower first and change your clothes before coming out."
Qi Sheng waved his hand and lowered his head to continue looking at his phone.
"OK."
Chen Shengyu and Song Wanying didn't dare to refuse and went to the bathroom obediently.
The bathroom alone is fifty or sixty square meters.
It’s bigger than where their family lives.
The happiness of the super-rich is so naked.
For ordinary Hong Kong residents, they can only get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg in dreams and movies and TV dramas.
Although they had already washed themselves clean before coming.
But since the sponsor has made a request, they naturally dare not go against it in the slightest.
She washed the already fair body carefully again.
After drying off, I went to the cloakroom connected to the bathroom.
The area of the cloakroom is no smaller than the bathroom.
An entire wall is filled with sexy pajamas and special uniforms.
These are the small gifts Zhou Fu prepared for Qi Sheng in advance.
After changing into clothes that they were satisfied with, they walked out at the same time.
Qi Sheng was originally looking down at his phone.
Hearing the crisp sound of high heels hitting the wooden floor in the room, she couldn't help but look up.
Chen Shengyu on the left has a better figure, and his score is estimated to be about C+.
She is wearing a black sleeveless dress, paired with long black stockings and lace high heels, which is quite charming.
Song Wanying on the right, although her figure is slightly worse.
But there is also C, which has better body proportions.
She wore a pink sleeveless dress with flesh-colored stockings and white high heels.
The slim fit design of cheongsam shows off the graceful figure.
It should be said that I was able to pass the Miss Hong Kong interview and become a contestant.
The two of them still have some potential, so they shouldn't be ridiculed so badly by the people of Hong Kong Island.
It can't be compared with those stunning beauties from earlier years, but it's still much better than ordinary people.
At least, they all scored over 80 points.
With this appearance, she might not even be selected into the top 10 during the years when Miss Hong Kong was the most popular.
But now, maybe we all have a chance to get into the top three.
Qi Sheng patted his thigh, and Chen Shengyu and Song Wanying understood and sat on both sides.
The pleasant but not strong smell of perfume kept coming into Qi Sheng's nose.
"Go open a bottle of wine to liven things up."
Qi Sheng patted Song Wanying on the right.
When this girl introduced herself just now, she said that her mother was the former runner-up of Miss Macau.
She comes from a family of beauty pageant contestants.
As the saying goes, mixed-race beauties emerge. Song Wanying's appearance score is 85, which is above the passing line for high-quality beauty.
Song Wanying was born in 1999, four years younger than Qi Sheng.
But let alone a 4-year age gap, even a 40-year age gap wouldn’t be a problem.
This is Hong Kong Island, the world of the rich.
Song Wanying came back with a bottle of champagne.
Then he saw another competitor pulling Qi Sheng's hand and moving it towards his leg.
"Bitch!"
Song Wanying couldn't help but curse inwardly and walked over quickly.
With a sweet smile on her face, she poured two glasses of champagne and handed one to Qi Sheng.
"Mr. Qi, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Please take care of me in the future."
"No problem."
Qi Sheng smiled and clinked his champagne glass with Song Wanying.
The crisp sound of collision echoed in this luxurious master bedroom overlooking the beautiful Victoria.
Two contestants who are currently participating in the Miss Hong Kong pageant are vying for favor, unwilling to fall behind.
There is no man who doesn't like this kind of extravagant happiness.
Qi Sheng was naturally no exception.
…
The next day, Qi Sheng got up very early.
Having a max-level physique makes you so confident.
It is wishful thinking for Qi Sheng to be hollowed out by his flesh and blood.
Wash off the smell in the bathroom.
Qi Sheng went to the cloakroom, changed into a lighter T-shirt and shorts, and left the room wearing running shoes.
After saying hello to Zhou Fu, I started jogging along Barker Road.
There are not many people who can jog on Barker Road, and even fewer who are as young as Qi Sheng.
But despite their curiosity, no one dared to disturb them.
After running for an hour, Qi Sheng was only sweating a little.
When they got home, Zhou Fu immediately handed over a towel and asked Qi Sheng if he had any requests for lunch.
"The main thing is steak, and the rest will be up to you."
Qi Sheng went upstairs and took a shower in the bathroom.
Hearing the noise, Song Wanying glanced at Chen Shengyu who was still sleeping soundly, and tiptoed into the bathroom.
"Mr. Qi, let me rub your back."
It was more than an hour later when I came out of the bathroom.
Song Wanying felt like her whole body was falling apart.
It was all thanks to Qi Sheng holding her that she didn't fall to the ground and make a fool of herself.
Although she had had a boyfriend before, Qi Sheng left a particularly deep impression on her.
She didn't even dare to imagine what kind of woman could withstand the torture of Mr. Qi.
Chen Shengyu, who was still sleeping, was awakened by Song Wanying's lewd voice.
But his body couldn't hold on any longer, and he could only watch Song Wanying try to please Mr. Qi first.
"You two have performed very well. Regardless of your results in this Miss Hong Kong competition, I will arrange resources for you later."
Qi Sheng is not the type of person who would get something for free.
Anyway, for him, the little resources he spent were nothing.
"Thank you, Mr. Qi!"
Hearing Qi Sheng's promise, Chen Shengyu and Song Wanying were excited and hurried to express their gratitude.
Hong Kong Island is too small, so all the artists flock to the north to make money.
With Qi Sheng’s status in the mainland entertainment industry.
Not to mention making them famous.
But if you have a small fire, it won't be a problem.
"Mr. Qi, I feel like I've had a good rest."
Perhaps it was the stimulation of a bright future that made Chen Shengyu, who was originally a little tired, come over in high spirits.
Even Song Wanying, who had just been severely punished by Qi Sheng, came over unwilling to be left behind.
"Lao Zhou, lunch will be postponed for two hours."
Qi Sheng pressed the service bell and gave instructions to Zhou Fu.
Holding the two future Miss Hong Kong in his left and right hands, he went to another bedroom.
Since they have taken the initiative, wouldn't it be very disrespectful for Qi Sheng to refuse? (End of this chapter)
