Chapter 501: Becoming a Buddha in One Thought
Wang Yuanchao picked up a piece of fish belly meat from the chopped pepper fish head and ate it with melancholy. He took a sip of red wine, sighed and said, "Since ancient times, the foundation of the aristocratic families has relied on a huge network of relationships, land and population. Even now, the wealthy families in Hong Kong will not find servants from outside to serve us and randomly hire security personnel from outside like we do. These wealthy families have the means and time to train death squads and house-born servants from a young age.
The servants and bodyguards used in the house, the people who serve the family, are all trained from childhood.
Only those who know their roots and have been educated and brainwashed to serve the family since childhood are qualified to serve at home. "
After taking another sip of red wine, Wang Yuanchao looked at Liu Qianqian, Liu Mei, Dongdong, Xixi, and Xiaohuaer, who were all full of curiosity, and continued, "You should know that money is only a stepping stone to enter a wealthy family, not even a threshold. A wealthy family has never been measured by the amount of money. Take our family as an example. Our maids are all found through the channel network of HSBC. Although these maids in the family have been educated in the Maid Training Academy and are specialized in serving the rich, the maids selected in this way will only be looked down upon by the people of the real wealthy families. Even now, which real wealthy family does not select talents from the house-born children and dead soldiers trained at home?
To be honest, I have been in Hong Kong for such a long time. Through inquiries during this period, I have learned that our Wang family fled from Star City and has branches all over the world. The main family is now in the United States. There are branches in Taiwan and Hong Kong, but I have no plan to recognize my relatives with them.
Although becoming related to them can make up for the shortcomings of our family's personal connections, I will have to shoulder huge responsibilities and be drained of blood by the main branch of the Wang family, which I don't want to do.
Because in my heart, the future development and foundation of our family lies in our own country, not in Western capitalist countries.
We have lived in China for so many years, and given my uncle Lu's current status and position in China, I would rather build my own network of relationships in China in the future and become the helmsman of our Wang family, rather than going to the main branch of the Wang family to recognize my relatives and rely on the main branch of the Wang family now.
In this world, if you have no value in yourself, there will be no frequent exchanges of favors, and the network of favors will naturally disappear.
You have to know that the world is big and there are many people. The reason why a wealthy family is wealthy is that they form alliances and make alliances. As the old saying goes, there are 360 professions in the world and every profession has its top talent. The fairest thing in the world is that everyone has the same amount of time.
Everyone's energy is limited, so no one in this world can control everything.
There are many things that we cannot do by ourselves, but they may be solved by just a few words from others.
Many public intellectuals boast that Western countries in Europe and America abide by laws, standards, and rules, and do not care about social relationships or backdoor dealings, and that they are not "humanistic societies." This is simply nonsense.
You have been in Hong Kong for a long time, and you should know that Western capitalist society is not only a "society of human relationships", but also commercializes and regularizes this "society of human relationships".
In Western capitalist society, if you have no money, no connections, and no connections, no one will care about you. You may run around and still not be able to get anything done.
Therefore, for aristocratic families, the most important element of social skills is frequent interactions.
And these are exactly what our family lacks.
But my family has a trump card, I am still young, time is on our side, and we don’t need to be too anxious.
As long as our group company develops well and rapidly, we will have the opportunity to turn Hong Kong, the Oriental Pearl, into our Wang family's city in the future."
Wang Yuanchao raised his crystal wine glass meaningfully and clinked it with Liu Mei and Liu Qianqian.
After Liu Qianqian and Liu Mei clinked glasses with Wang Yuanchao and took a sip of red wine, they did not take Wang Yuanchao's words seriously and just thought that Wang Yuanchao was bragging.
But Wang Yuanchao didn't think he was bragging. You have to know that Hong Kong was once the Li family's city in the past. But later, after Li Huanggua bet on both sides and failed in speculation, the saying of "Li family's city" lost its market.
In this life and this era, Wang Yuanchao's company is much more profitable than Li Huanggua's company.
Compared with Li Huanggua, Wang Yuanchao's only disadvantage is that he does not have the close relationship that Li Huanggua has with the white government and HSBC.
However, Wang Yuanchao was unwilling to act as the white glove of the white people. In the future, when foreign capital withdrew and Chinese businessmen rose, Wang Yuanchao would not be able to take over the core assets and land from the white government and foreign companies directly from the white government like Li Huanggua did.
However, while the return of Hong Kong has not yet been made public, the white people who have made a lot of money in Hong Kong have not yet planned to retreat.
Wang Yuanchao can now take advantage of the end of the Hong Kong financial crisis to vigorously acquire some land as the company's land reserve and lay the foundation for future plans.
After the family finished their meal, they went to the garden terrace on the third floor, changed into their swimsuits, and swam beside the infinity pool on the third floor . Wang Yuanchao lay on a beach chair, looking down from his own mansion on the top of Repulse Bay.
What comes into view is a charming blue ocean, the sea surface is sparkling and shining with golden light under the setting sun.
The beach in Repulse Bay is very beautiful. The sand on the beach is fine and white, like a silver ribbon winding along the seashore, contrasting with the blue sea.
The waves on the shore gently hit the beach, creating layers of white foam, as if the sea was telling a gentle story.
Looking inland from the top of the mountain, you can see the luxurious villas built along the Repulse Bay Mountain Road. These architectural styles vary, some are European classical style, and some are modern minimalist style. These mansions are hidden among the green trees, showing a low-key and luxurious atmosphere.
The high-rise buildings and busy traffic in the Hong Kong city in the distance form a sharp contrast with the tranquility of Repulse Bay, making people feel the prosperity and vitality of this city.
Wang Yuanchao felt the beauty and children around him, tasted the juice and snacks fed by the maid, and enjoyed the full body massage from the maid. For a moment, Wang Yuanchao had the illusion that life was just like this.
Yes, Buddha and devil are two sides of the same coin, and so are people. One thought can make you a Buddha, and another can make you a devil. Just like Wang Yuanchao now, he can completely rely on the planting ability of space to easily reap wealth, choose to lie down, and enjoy life happily every day.
But Wang Yuanchao just didn't want to do it. He just had ambitions and wanted to make trouble and want more.
Otherwise, I don’t know how good life would be.
