Seeing Li Ka-shing suddenly come up to her and offer a toast, Luo Zixi couldn't help but find it amusing.
After all, he had snatched the peak of someone else's life from the very beginning. Without this brilliant move of the snake swallowing the elephant, Li Ka-shing would not have become the legendary Superman.
He was still that newly emerging real estate tycoon.
Li Ka-shing's vision is indeed very unique; he bought a lot of land and built many buildings in advance.
The shipping magnate also set his sights on the real estate industry. By the time he passed away, he owned more than 18,000 houses.
Every year, the family earns a very substantial income from rent alone, and this huge sum of money ensures that the Bao family's descendants have no worries about their future.
Li Ka-shing had already set his sights on the Hong Kong real estate market early on, and had been buying and hoarding land for some time.
However, Luo Zixi had already begun this process. Most importantly, she acquired all the land she could get in Hong Kong at high prices.
No matter how high the price seems now, it can be sold for an even higher price in the future in this area of Gangcheng.
Hong Kong's property prices have experienced several ups and downs, but have remained consistently high. By the 21st century, Hong Kong had become one of the world's most expensive places to buy property.
Therefore, buying land now will not result in a loss no matter what.
Moreover, Luo Zixi had long disapproved of a group of wealthy people who tightly controlled the economic lifeline of Hong Kong and used the real estate market to control the behavior of the entire city's residents.
In the time before Luo Zixi's rebirth, Hong Kong was controlled by four major families, who in fact controlled the real estate market and all land.
When the port city's real estate market reached its peak, those who already owned land stopped building houses, thus keeping the market high. This allowed them to better control the lifeline of the port city.
In fact, the port city's later development was far inferior to that of other newly developed cities in the East, largely for this reason.
These so-called wealthy families have become complacent and closed-minded, turning what was originally a bright pearl of the Orient into a tiny place!
Yet many in the port city remain arrogant and complacent, clinging to the glory of the past. They are completely unaware that with the rise of the East, countless cities have already left the port city behind.
And all of this is largely thanks to this Li Ka-shing.
The issue of shared area, which has been a source of much criticism in the real estate industry, was invented by this very Li Ka-shing.
Luo Zixi had a neutral opinion about Li Ka-shing, but she genuinely couldn't bring herself to like him.
Many people admire him for starting from scratch and eventually becoming the richest Chinese person, but in the end he showed no responsibility and only cared about making money, disregarding the friendship between Hong Kong and the East.
But from a business perspective, this richest Chinese man's decisions are often very clever and correct.
They are even extremely calm, bordering on cold-blooded.
Perhaps after reaching a certain level, the mindset and thoughts of this Chinese tycoon in Luo Zixi's memory underwent a tremendous change.
Luo Zixi couldn't control these things, but now she had a way to intercept them!
Just like the case of the snake swallowing an elephant and the acquisition of Ji Yanghang, it can be said to be Li Ka-shing's battle to make a name for himself, and it also established his glorious status in the metropolis of Hong Kong.
But now, all that glory and status belongs to Luo Zixi.
How could Li Ka-shing not be full of resentment?
"Ms. Fei is truly remarkable for her young age; I admire her greatly!"
Li Ka-shing spoke with a smile, but Luo Zixi could tell from his tone that he was gritting his teeth.
"Hehe, Mr. Li, you are the real outstanding person. I was just lucky to get there first. Otherwise, compared to you, I am really nothing."
"I'll need your guidance in the future. Please go easy on me in business."
Luo Zixi naturally took everything into consideration and gave Li Ka-shing plenty of face.
After all, you can't hit someone who's smiling at you. Li Chaoran came over to toast her and kept praising her. Whether it was sincere or not, she had to give him face at this point.
If she were to embarrass Li Ka-shing at this moment, she would leave an aggressive impression on other tycoons and business partners.
It's just acting; anyone can do that.
Li Ka-shing clearly hates her, but on the surface he still has to fawn over her. He's probably bleeding inside right now.
However, on the surface, Li Ka-shing remained very humble and polite, even though he was older and more senior than Luo Zixi. He still showed considerable respect to this young woman.
"Ms. Fei, you flatter me. How could I compare to you? I hope you will go easy on me in the future."
"Your business tactics are very sophisticated and domineering. I'm afraid my old bones can't withstand a few of your attacks."
"If there are any profitable projects in the future, I hope Ms. Fei can give this old man a helping hand."
"Look at me, I can only afford to wear this kind of ordinary quartz watch now. The business is really struggling, barely getting by..."
Hearing Li Ka-shing's words and seeing him wave his quartz watch, Luo Zixi couldn't help but find it amusing, and at the same time, she remembered one of Li Ka-shing's most classic stories.
Li Ka-shing always wears a cheap electronic quartz watch worth around a hundred yuan in front of reporters and the public. He says he only needs it to tell time, so why would he need such a nice watch? He has been wearing this quartz watch for more than ten or twenty years and is still using it.
