Hong Kong drama begins with Liang Kun

Chapter 183 Are You Serious?
Charlie was sitting in a secluded place, drinking coffee quietly,

When he saw Li Qiankun coming, he quickly smiled and waved at Li Qiankun...

Li Qiankun also waved his hand, and then walked in front of Charlie, stood his eldest brother on the table, and said with a smile: "The sun really came out from the west today, you old man would be willing to invite me to dinner?"

Charlie already knew Li Qiankun's character, and he had never taken the initiative to invite Li Qiankun to dinner, so not only did he not care about the sourness in Li Qiankun's words, but he explained with a smile: "I am usually busy with business. Li Sheng was left out in the cold."

"Don't say that, it makes me look like your harem." Li Qiankun quickly stopped Charlie's words.

Charlie also almost laughed out loud, coughed a few times and said, "Okay, I'll treat you today, you can order whatever you want."

"So good? Then I won't be polite." Li Qiankun looked around with the menu, and then ordered the most expensive meal for a table, and ordered a bottle of the legendary 82-year-old Lafite.

Although this era is only a few years away from 82, the production of Lafite in that year was small, so it is still very valuable.

Charlie didn't directly talk about the topic, but had a chat with Li Qiankun, and after the two of them were full, he asked, "Li Sheng, recently I heard that you bought several hundred million real estate. Are you planning to enter the real estate industry?"

"Nope, I just want to take advantage of the low housing prices and buy low and sell high." Li Qiankun said in a relaxed tone.

"It seems that you are very optimistic about Xiangjiang's real estate industry." Charlie glanced at Li Qiankun and said.

Li Qiankun never raised his head, but he responded in a seemingly casual tone: "That's right, I am not only optimistic about the real estate in Xiangjiang, but also in the real estate industry in Baodao and the mainland. I am afraid that the huge profits in this industry will be huge in the next few decades." It’s not much worse than getting out of the way.”

"So, do you really want to make a fortune in this industry?" Although Charlie said this in a rather flat tone, but in his capacity, coupled with today's frequent inquiries about Li Qiankun's views on the real estate industry Judging from this abnormal performance, there seems to be other meanings hidden in these words...

After all, Li Qiankun knew for a long time that although Charlie was the chief superintendent, he was running a lot of business behind the scenes.

Moreover, Charlie's father-in-law is actually a businessman from Yingguo, who owns not only an energy company, but also a large real estate company.

In the construction of some important facilities in Xiangjiang, there is actually the shadow of Charlie's father-in-law company.

"Mr. Charlie, what exactly are you looking for me for today? Why don't you tell me clearly, or you will be a guest for nothing." Li Qiankun asked directly, and at the same time turned to Charlie with a bad expression.

Charlie took out a cigar and handed it to Li Qiankun, then trimmed the cigar, and said in a solemn tone: "Actually, the government plans to demolish the Kowloon Walled City recently, but some resistances encountered, so that everyone does not know how to solve it." , so they threw this difficult problem to me, the chief superintendent, it's really a horse."

"Then you throw it back." Li Qiankun naturally knew that the demolition of the Kowloon Walled City was actually a major event that would inevitably happen in the long history, and it lasted for several years from the official confirmation of the demolition to the completion of the demolition. The key point is that the year when the demolition officially began seems to be a resolution that was formed only in the recent period.

So I must have encountered a major historical event this time. Knowing the future trend, he didn't take Charlie's words seriously, but kept joking with him...

"Kick it back? I'm afraid it won't work. This is a political task, and I, the police chief, will bear the brunt of it." Charlie shook his head and said helplessly.

Li Qiankun had also finished trimming the cigar. While lighting the fire, he was thinking about Charlie's performance today in his mind.

From the time when the other party invited him to dinner, and now that he personally told about the demolition of the Kowloon Walled City, Charlie must have used the strength of the community to complete this task.

After the cigar was completely lit, Li Qiankun breathed out the smoke vigorously, and then said with a smile: "Charlie, there are tens of thousands of policemen in Xiangjiang, even if there is great resistance in the Kowloon Walled City, it will not do to just flatten it." Why are you so distressed?"

"You said it lightly, and it's impossible for me to dispatch all the tens of thousands of people. Besides, we can only use force when we encounter large-scale riots. Otherwise, even the police chief can't do anything." Charlie After finishing speaking with a little regret in his tone, he immediately stared at Li Qiankun's reaction.

"That's it, then there is really nothing to do." Li Qiankun naturally understood the meaning of Charlie's words, but if he helped him, he would be an enemy of the entire Kowloon Walled City, and that was Li Qiankun. Things you don't want to see.

If he got into trouble because of the demolition in the future, it would be too fucked up.

Charlie saw Li Qiankun pretending to be confused in this picture, so he could only say more directly: "Actually, the conditions given by the government for the demolition of the Kowloon Walled City are already very generous, and it is completely possible to satisfy most people. It’s just that those gang members who have committed crimes and those unlicensed black doctors, no matter how much money these people give them, they will not agree to the demolition.”

Speaking of this, Charlie deliberately leaned forward, and said in a solemn tone: "So I think you, Hong Xing, should be able to help me."

"Really? Then you should go to Jiang Tiansheng, right? Why did you tell me these things?" Li Qiankun asked disapprovingly.

Charlie gradually leaned back on the chair, sighed and said, "Actually, I have already approached Jiang Tiansheng, but he doesn't seem willing to help, so I have nothing to do."

"Hahaha……"

Li Qiankun couldn't help laughing, pointed at Charlie and said, "We came out to hang out, all for money, you just ask others to help, it doesn't do any good? How can you help?"

Li Qiankun had already decided that Charlie just wanted to seek help from social organizations at a very low price, so he had a hard time with Jiang Tiansheng.

But when Charlie heard this, he smiled instead, waved his hands and said, "You've misunderstood, I think the conditions offered to Jiang Tiansheng are already very generous, it's just that he is not optimistic about Xiangjiang's future real estate industry. "

"How do you say that?" Li Qiankun asked very curiously. After all, the favorable condition that Charlie thought must be a condition with great potential, and from the other party's words, Li Qiankun could roughly guess that this The so-called favorable conditions must be related to the real estate industry.

Charlie breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Actually, you also know that my father-in-law's family has always been a wealthy businessman in Yingguo, and their real estate company is currently bidding for several pieces of land in Mong Kok and Central, but the official bidding conditions It is proposed that the Kowloon Walled City and these pieces of land should be packaged together for construction, so if anyone can solve the problem of the Kowloon Walled City, whoever can officially get these pieces of land.”

"What's so difficult about this? Didn't you say that the government is also planning to formally demolish the Walled City? With the support of the government, isn't this job easy?" Li Qiankun continued to ask tentatively. After all, there are still some problems. He didn't figure it out,
First of all, what Charlie said is that the government has the idea of ​​demolishing the Kowloon Walled City. After all, there is no official announcement on this point, so Charlie's words alone can't be counted now.

In addition, is the real estate company under the name of Charlie's father-in-law, whether there is such an agreement with the government, if the demolition and construction of the Kowloon Walled City can be solved, will it really be able to smoothly obtain several high-quality land? .

If so, then Charlie's father-in-law will also try his best to use his son-in-law as the chief superintendent to win the first place in such a project, and continue to force his son-in-law to participate in the demolition work.

So in this way, Charlie is likely to face pressure from two aspects, one is the official administrative order, and the other is the strong demand of his father-in-law.

Charlie paused, and then slowly said: "Now the Xiangjiang government is studying the demolition of the Kowloon Walled City, and I believe that this resolution will be formed soon. By then, the demolition and construction of the Walled City will become an issue. It's a very difficult event, and I, the Chief Superintendent, will definitely be the first person in the demolition work. Of course, if I can help my father-in-law establish a better image in front of the authorities If so, those few good pieces of land will naturally become my father-in-law's pocket."

"Isn't this good? Your father-in-law made money, so you will benefit too?" Li Qiankun laughed.

Charlie didn't explain too much, but looked directly at another dining table not far away.

And there was always an old man sitting on this dining table, who also looked like a native of Ying country.

When Charlie's eyes met the old man's, he immediately got up and walked towards this side.

And Charlie stood up and smiled at Li Qiankun: "This is my father-in-law. Next, you two have a good talk, and I will take my leave first."

"Hey, what do you mean?" Li Qiankun yelled at Charlie, but no matter how he yelled, the other party left the restaurant without looking back.

At this moment, the old man also walked in front of Li Qiankun, he stretched out his hand and smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Charles, I think Charlie has introduced me to you, right?"

"Hello, Mr. Charles, my name is Li Qiankun." Li Qiankun also shook hands with the other party very politely.

Charles sat in a chair, then asked the waiter for a cup of coffee,
After a while, Charles said to Li Qiankun: "I think you already know that I am eager to win a few pieces of land, but at the same time I need to help the authorities demolish the Kowloon Walled City."

"That's right, I know about it, but Mr. Charles, don't worry, your son-in-law is the Chief Superintendent, so what can you do?" Li Qiankun smiled.

Hearing this, Charlie sighed, shook his head and said: "Although Charlie manages thousands of police officers in name, they can only do things on the surface. As for other things that are inconvenient to come forward, I'm afraid they can only rely on the help of the association." power." Charles said bluntly.

"That's right, Charlie told me all about it, but I think Mr. Charles should show more sincerity, otherwise how could a leader like Jiang Tiansheng be willing to help you?" Li Qiankun suggested.

Charles nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, I feel that I am sincere enough, because if I win the bid successfully, I am willing to develop the two lands in Mong Kok and Central with the other party. The benefits of this, as long as there is a little long-term vision Everyone can see it, right?"

"How about a cooperative development method?" Li Qiankun asked curiously.

Charles took a sip of the coffee on the table and explained: "In the future, the land in Mong Kok will be built into a high-end residence, and the land in Central will be built into a large CBD core living area. At that time, I will give it to my partners for free. Floor, isn't that considered generous?"

"Forget it, of course forget it." After listening to Charles' explanation, Li Qiankun actually felt overwhelmed in his heart.

You must know that whether it is Mongkok or Central, the land price and house price there will continue to increase with the passage of time,
If you can get a few floors there now, it will always be a good business for rent collection in future generations.

Especially places like Central, from now to later generations, will always be the financial center of Southeast Asia, so if you get a few floors in the core area of ​​the CBD there, it is equivalent to getting a long-term meal ticket. You can do any business.

"Does Li Sheng have any good suggestions?" Charles asked suddenly.

Li Qiankun coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Actually, if you give enough chips, I can also help you complete the demolition work of the Kowloon Walled City."

When Charles heard this, he showed a surprised expression: "Li Sheng, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious. You said so much today, don't you just want me to help you?" Li Qiankun asked back.

But Charles suddenly laughed a few times, shook his head and said: "Li Sheng, you have misunderstood, Charlie and I came to you today to persuade Jiang Tiansheng through your relationship, and at the same time find some more The fact that the power of the association joined it is not just to invite you to come forward, you must know that the troubles in the Walled City cannot be solved by you alone."

"Are you looking down on me?" Li Qiankun frowned, and tightly clenched the hand holding the wine glass.

He didn't expect that he would be underestimated by the other party under such circumstances,

At first, I thought that the other party wanted to ask me to solve the trouble, but I didn't expect that they just wanted Li Qiankun to be a middleman and a lobbyist. They didn't really think that Li Qiankun could solve the problem of the Kowloon Walled City by himself. .
