Chapter 447: Network Circles
Hong Kong’s racecourses are always so lively, which may be related to Hong Kong’s living environment. Hong Kong’s common people generally like to gamble,
and the Jockey Club is a place where gambling is legal in Hong Kong, and it is also a place where white foreigners can legally reap profits. In this era, the support given to the Jockey Club by the Hong Kong government and the conscious promotion of white foreigners have made the Jockey Club’s social status very high.
When Wang Yuanchao and Michelle arrived at the Jockey Club, they saw a huge crowd of people in front of the Happy Valley Pavilion, with colorful flags fluttering, people setting up stalls, hawking goods, and special green guards maintaining order.
Wang Yuanchao looked at everything in front of him with admiration. It was truly a prosperous scene.
The Anti-Smuggling Team of the Industry and Commerce Administration is the predecessor of the Hong Kong Customs. In two years, it will be separated from the Industry and Commerce Administration and an independent customs will be established.
"Mr. Wang, let me introduce you to Mr. House, the deputy captain of the anti-smuggling team of the Industrial and Commercial Administration.
Mr. House helped me with the customs declaration. Mr. House, this is Wang Sheng from Xiangjiang Group.
Wang Yuanchao gave House a hug and a kiss on the cheek, then took out the gift in his hand and said, "Mr. House, we Chinese have a saying, 'Men carry Guanyin and women carry Buddha.
This Guanyin necklace was blessed by Master Xinghai of the Buddhist Kingdom. I brought it back from the Buddhist Kingdom specially. This is our first meeting. I hope Mr. House will like it. "
House looked at Wang Yuanchao curiously, then picked up the box handed to him by Wang Yuanchao and opened it. He saw a gold-inlaid jade Guanyin on a pure gold chain. It looked very luxurious. House closed the box with satisfaction and laughed happily, "Mr. Wang is indeed a big businessman. He is a generous person. We will be friends from now on. If you have any trouble with customs, you can come to me."
Wang Yuanchao took out a box of Cuban cigars with a smile, took out one and handed it to House, saying, "Mr. House, this is a Cohiba cigar from Cuba, would you like one?"
House's eyes lit up, he reached out to take the cigar, then took out a small cigar cutter from his pocket, cut it from the top of the cigar cap, lit it and smoked while saying:
"Yeah, that's the taste, authentic.
Wang Sheng is a fellow traveler. "
Wang Yuanchao also cut his cigar, lit it, took a puff, and said:
"Hey, as a man, beauties, fine wine, cigars, and red wine are all essential interests for men."
After hearing what Wang Yuanchao said, House felt closer to him. He laughed and said, "Yes, God asked us to spread the gospel and shepherd the sheep. He also gave us life so that we can enjoy the world and enjoy life.
"Does Mr. Wang believe in religion?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Mr. House is a truly devout Christian.
But we Chinese generally believe in our ancestors and the inheritance of our bloodline.”
House and Wang Yuanchao looked at each other and smiled. Westerners generally believe in religion, and faith is integrated into their blood. There are indeed devout believers and martyrs, but they are only a minority.
Christianity is ultimately similar to Confucianism in China. Both are used by the ruling class to govern the people, and are a way of ruling the people in an ignorant way.
When one reaches a certain social status, belief becomes a communication interest. If one believes in it, then he believes it. If one does not, then he just laughs. “Oh, it’s the theory of bloodline. It’s the same everywhere. We in Europe also pay attention to this.
By the way, Mr. Wang, is your import and export business limited to grain business? "
"No, the food business is only temporary. In the future, our company will still enter the clothing industry, the electronics industry, and even the high-tech industry.
However, this is still in the planning stage, and the specific implementation needs to be done step by step."
House looked at Wang Yuanchao in astonishment, and further hinted:
"Mr. Wang, Hong Kong is a world port with very developed global trade. I thought Mr. Wang came to me because he wanted to enter some money-making industry."
Wang Yuanchao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Mr. House, I am still young. I can take my time in doing business. There is no end to the money you can make in this world.
What I am pursuing is just a legitimate and legitimate way of making money.
This time I asked you to meet me, I really just want to make friends with you.
After all, if you are doing legitimate business, you will inevitably offend people and be inconsiderate, so having more friends means having more options. "
After hearing what Wang Yuanchao said, House's enthusiasm faded a lot, but he still said with a smile: "That's right, more friends, more paths. I like making friends the most. Mr. Wang, we should visit each other more often in the future."
"Of course, of course. It's my honor to be friends with Mr. House."
Wang Yuanchao, Michelle and House were watching the horse racing and chatting at the same time, and they gradually became familiar with each other.
As for personal connections, they are something that are built up slowly and are not meant to be used at any time. And when problems arise, being able to spend a certain amount of money and find someone who can solve them is enough for Wang Yuanchao.
After all, Wang Yuanchao will only stay in Hong Kong for a few years at most, and he will eventually return to his country to develop.
In the future, Wang Yuanchao's focus will still be on the domestic market. After all, Hong Kong is still too small, and its future development will be very limited. Moreover, it will continue to decline in the future.
In the next few decades, China's economy will develop rapidly and become the world's largest economy.
After saying goodbye to House, Wang Yuanchao drove Michelle to the mountaintop restaurant.
While enjoying the sea breeze of Victoria Harbor and eating Almas caviar, "Honey, you and House didn't talk about anything today. Are you really just making friends with him?"
"Yes, Michelle, you know, I just came to Hong Kong not long ago, and I don't have many connections here, so I have to slowly build my network.
Otherwise, how can I enter the upper class society?"
Mi Xilu blinked at Wang Yuanchao and said playfully:
"My dear, don't you still have me?"
Wang Yuanchao laughed and said:
"That's right, Michelle, you are my most important connection in Hong Kong, but only women can enter the upper-class circle by following men.
No man has ever been able to enter the upper class circle with a woman.
After all, this is a male society. No one will look down on those who live off their wives.
So making money is one thing, and having your own network of contacts is another.
When both aspects are achieved to a certain extent, I will naturally enter the upper class circle and become a member of it. At that time, you will naturally follow me and become a member of the upper class circle. "
When Michelle heard Wang Yuanchao's sudden and touching words, she looked at him with her beautiful eyes and said:
"Don't worry, dear. I will help you."
"Well, Michelle, I know, I know you will help me. Please believe me, we will definitely have a place in the top wealthy families in Hong Kong in the future."
"Yes, I believe it."
