Chapter 47 Even a puppy has a temper
According to the concept of "separation of tasks" proposed by Alfred Adler, the founder of individual psychology.
This incident itself raises three issues: the problem of ruthless criminals, the problem of tycoons, and the problem of society.
Naturally, three different perspectives on right and wrong emerged, differing only in the angle from which the issue was viewed, and thus, three victims were identified.
The ruthless criminals are punished by law or forced to flee, the tycoons suffer losses of fame and fortune, and society becomes tense and fearful because of the incident. There are no winners.
"So this matter can be completely avoided!" Zhou Xinian concluded regarding the issue.
"Yes, to avoid some risks!"
Chen Guanjiang turned to Wang Dehui and said, "So, it's no problem for me to have bodyguards when I go out! Since it's no problem, what the hell were you yelling at me for? You son of a bitch!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, you shit-eating dog?"
Chen Guanjiang's fluent and clear pronunciation of classical Chinese poetry caught Wang Dehui off guard, causing him to slam his fist on the table and stand up to teach Chen Guanjiang a lesson.
"Woof woof woof..."
"I'm just teasing you about eating braised food. If you're so craving ginger, why don't you try it yourself?"
Before he finished speaking, two bodyguards grabbed Wang Dehui from the left and right, respectively. Hunlun, who was almost an adult, stood on end with his fur standing on end and barked wildly, as if he would pounce and bite at the slightest command.
Chen Guanjiang slowly walked up to Wang Dehui and lectured him, "Hiring bodyguards not only avoids risks, but also ensures that you won't lose face when dealing with someone like you, understand?"
Hitting someone is out of the question, and killing someone is even more impossible. Given the current identities of both parties and the changing political situation, it's clear that they can't operate like gangsters.
but!
When Chen Guanjiang was refused a handshake and was even subjected to sarcastic remarks, the importance of having a bodyguard on the scene became apparent, given that a child is physically weaker than the other party and using weapons would escalate the situation.
At this moment, the two bodyguards were simply holding Wang Dehui in place. If he dared to make a move, he would be beaten up unilaterally, and the news would be widely publicized in the newspapers tomorrow.
But if he endures it like this, he will be verbally reprimanded and humiliated in front of Zhou Xinian. If there were no bodyguards present, Chen Guanjiang would be the one who loses face.
Although he has been fawning over people a lot in the past six months, it doesn't mean that Chen Guanjiang likes to put on a smiling face.
To rise in rank, one must adopt a humble attitude, but one shouldn't fawn over everyone who tries to curry favor with them.
Everyone's in business. Helping someone buy land earns a brokerage fee, and building a cattle farm is also giving the other company business. If you want to make money, why complain about money?
"If Butcher Zhang dies, we won't eat the hairy pig anymore."
Wang Dehui was not the only one who knew the "Five Surnames Taigong" in the New Territories; Chinachem Group was not the only real estate company in Hong Kong to build cattle farms.
"That's fine."
Zhou Xinian spoke up to mediate, his voice trembling slightly, his heart filled with indescribable mixed feelings.
Back when he was a powerful figure in Hong Kong, would any guest he invited be neglected at the dinner table? And who would dare to be so presumptuous at his dinner party?
"snort!"
Feeling humiliated, Wang Dehui snorted coldly, shoved aside the bodyguards on both sides, and stormed out the door. Chen Guanjiang put his plate on the ground and began to eat it without any disgust.
"Why…"
Zhou Xinian sighed and said, "Ma Ji is about to start. I submitted the membership applications of the three of you, but only your application was rejected."
Hong Kong Jockey Club!
Even Zhou Xinian did his best to avoid giving up his position on the Jockey Club board, which shows how important the Jockey Club is. In terms of social status alone, it is even higher than the position of the Dairy Farmers.
It was understandable that my membership application was rejected, given that I was too young and the Jockey Club's membership standards were too strict.
In fact!
The opening of Hong Kong as a treaty port and the opening of five treaty ports were carried out almost simultaneously. Foreigners brought horse racing culture to various places, and culture was one of the most crucial factors in governance.
However, apart from Guangzhou, which was the earliest, the other four ports that were opened to trade also established their own racecourses, but the Hong Kong Jockey Club was the last to admit Chinese members.
Chen Guanjiang did not request to join the Jockey Club, but Zhou Xinian knew that he might not be able to keep his board seat, so he took advantage of his position to pave the way for others with the mentality of "casting a wide net and catching more fish".
If the family faces difficulties in the future, remember this bond of kinship. I don't expect to be able to lend a helping hand, but at least kicking someone when they're down will be criticized.
As for your applications, the "three" of you...
Besides Wang Dehui, who stormed out of the room, and himself, who had been rejected, there was actually someone else who had passed the membership application? Chen Guanjiang couldn't help but look at the master chef who was cutting the goose.
The old chef smiled warmly and said, "I am Gan Hui, the owner of Diamond Restaurant. It's a pleasure to meet you, young friend."
"Hello Mr. Gan, I am Chen Guanjiang..."
Unexpectedly, the owner of Diamond Restaurant would personally chop a goose for his guests; it seems only Zhou Xinian would have such a prestigious position.
Yung Kee Restaurant is a household name in Hong Kong. Its roast goose was featured in Fortune magazine and it was named one of the "World's Top 15 Restaurants," which is well-deserved.
Of course, what Hong Kong people care about more is Kam Sui's ability to make money.
从一家小摊慢慢积累，在寸土寸金的中环威灵顿街持有32号、34号、36号、38号、40号五块地皮，将其打通建起镛记大厦。
Furthermore, on the land at Queen's Road Central, they built the top-rated restaurant in Hong Kong, Diamond Restaurant, and opened branches on Percival Street in Causeway Bay and Sai Yeung Choi Street in Mong Kok, all of which are self-owned properties.
After a few pleasantries, Chen Guanjiang got down to business: "How much did Sir Zhou sell his stocks for?"
"What are you going to do?" Zhou Xinian couldn't help but feel wary.
"hey-hey…"
Chen Guanjiang smiled ingratiatingly and said, "How about lending me your money for the time being? It'll be 10% interest for three months."
"Don't even think about hitting on me..."
Zhou Xinian downed his drink in one gulp and said, "I have other uses for the money from selling stocks."
Chen Guanjiang stroked his hairless chin, pondered for a long time, and said, "Kowloon Motors?"
How did you know?
Zhou Xinian looked at Chen Guanjiang in shock; the decision he had just made had been directly exposed.
"Is it hard to guess?"
Chen Guanjiang laughed and said, "Losing the Dairy Farm means losing influence, so we need to strengthen our influence in other areas to ensure that we are not taken away from our position on the Jockey Club board."
"Currently, your only real advantage is to increase your stake in Kowloon Motors and assume the position of taipan, which would give you a chance to regain control of the Milk Company."
Zhou Xinian remained silent for a while before asking, "So, do you think I will succeed?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
The dairy company’s enormous influence lies neither in the cows nor in the few plots of land it owns.
The truly terrifying influence lies in the freight system, which can cover the capillaries of Hong Kong and Kowloon.
Too many companies, lacking the capacity to build their own freight systems and heavily reliant on dairy companies for transportation, depend on them for survival. This is the core influence behind Zhou Xinian's position as a director of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
If the Hong Kong government is going to take away even the transportation system, it is even less likely that it will stand by and watch Zhou Xinian take away the more important public transport system.
They actually dared to dream of controlling Kowloon Motors? It's understandable to be desperate and try anything, but this is just wishful thinking.
After guessing correctly one after another, Zhou Xinian had no choice but to believe Chen Guanjiang's words. However, he had nowhere to vent his frustration, so he hurriedly drank a cup of wine and coughed until his face turned red.
This only made Gan Suihui more confused about the relationship between the two. She didn't understand why Zhou Xinian would help the guy who had slandered her, nor did she understand why she was sure of what the guy said.
Even more astonishing is that Chan Kwun-kong possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of the grudges and feuds among various figures in Hong Kong in his early years—something that is not something an ordinary person from a poor family could accomplish…
