Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Unlike the last time I went to Hong Kong, I had to act secretly to avoid being arrested by the Hong Kong authorities.

After reporting the situation of the Gauls to China, the office naturally took over the negotiation with Barney and his team, as well as the subsequent arrangements for their entry into China.

Zhang Renkang either went to Lou's house in the name of inspection, or visited various streets in Hong Kong Island to buy some novel toys and food, etc., and then took them back with space. Although the slogans in China are loud now, it does not affect some people's appreciation of red wine and luxury goods. Some things are more varied in private than in public.

If you don't believe me, just watch Tingquan Appraisal of Treasures

Lou Xiao'e became happier and happier, not caring about Zhang Renkang's body and greedily asking for rewards, looking forward to having another child.

Today, the two of them were looking for a place to live in a villa area, planning to prepare for their future home. After all, now that Lou Huaijin's eldest son has returned, it would be inappropriate for Lou Xiao'e to continue living in the Lou family.

What's more, after meeting Lou Huaijin this time, Zhang Renkang has already planned to let Lou Xiaoe and Lou Huaijin separate, and the two sides will separate and not interfere with each other in the future.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and hugged Zhang Renkang and asked

"Renkang, do you think this is okay?"

"It's a three-story villa. The yard alone is one acre. When the time comes, we can plant some lawn and the kids can play football here."

Zhang Renkang took a look and found that most of the villas in Hong Kong Island at that time were in John style, which originated from the design of Western castles. Relatively speaking, the house design was not as advanced as that of later generations, not to mention the concept of living and rest areas.

The living room, kitchen and dining room are designed on the south side of the first floor, but an empty room is placed on the north side. The toilet is actually a protruding room, which needs to be exited from the hallway.

The second floor has two bedrooms and a study with a terrace. The third floor has the same layout as the second floor, and there is also a basement.

The yard outside the house is designed with a swimming pool in a trendy way. Each villa is separated by a two-meter-high wall and greenery.

Zhang Renkang nodded. He didn't care. This place was just a temporary residential area for Lou Xiao'e and her son. The only advantage was that it was in the residential area of ​​the Johns, and the surrounding area was the Johns' residential area. The public security was the safest place in Hong Kong Island.

When they all move to Hong Kong Island, they can look for a new residence. At worst, they can develop their own community. Anyway, they have no shortage of funds and land.

"Let's go here. It's in the center. The size and space are suitable."

“When Kangcheng Group’s business gets on track, it won’t be too late for us to build a community ourselves.”

Zhang Renkang waved his hand to signal John, the butler who was following him, to come forward. This community was developed by John's company, and all security was provided by John's people. More importantly, the governor's family stationed in Hong Kong was in the innermost villa. Apart from the Governor's Mansion, the security and environment here were the best in Hong Kong Island.

If the Chinese were not increasingly important in Hong Kong's political, police and economic sectors, they would not allow Chinese dignitaries to enter and buy real estate here.

The reason why Zhang Renkang and Lou Xiao'e were able to come here to inspect the real estate today was because Lou Huaijin got a letter of recommendation from the Governor of Hong Kong.

"This is the only one we have. After completing the formalities, we will go to the bank to process it."

Butler John bowed slightly, nodded and said in English

"Yes sir, as you wish."

The subsequent procedures will naturally be followed up by the Lou family's housekeeper.

Zhang Renkang took Lou Xiao'e and Zhang Sisi to take a family photo, and then went to a private custom studio to order clothes for Sisi and a dress for Lou Xiao'e. When the sun was about to set, he drove Lou Xiao'e's car back to the Lou family.

Lou Huaijin and Lou Tan have already prepared dinner at home

Lou Huaijin raised his glass and smiled at Zhang Renkang

"Renkang, how was your inspection these days?"

"Hong Kong Island has developed very quickly in recent years. I suggest you go around more often."

"It's a pity that Hong Kong Island is good for developing some light industries, but there is not much room for heavy industries. John's people positioned this place as a transit point for the financial industry and entrepot trade."

"If you want to conduct a complete industrialization survey in China, you can only go to Europe or the United States."

"Or I heard from a few friends that the Japanese are also vigorously developing industrial construction, and I heard that they have achieved considerable results."

"The world is changing so fast now that we old people can't keep up."

Lou Huaijin's words have hidden meanings

Zhang Renkang smiled and didn't care. He said directly

"Xiao'e and I went to see the house today"

"Since my eldest brother and his family are back, I think it would be better for Xiao'e and Sisi to live outside."

"I also plan to use Xiao'e's name to set up a family business in Hong Kong Island. For at least 30 to 40 years, Hong Kong Island can be guaranteed to develop as a window for external exchanges of the mainland."

Lou Huaide said softly

"My idea is to separate the Lou family's current real estate company and give it to Xiao'e to make it independent."

"Renkang, do you think it's appropriate?"

Zhang Renkang was shocked for a moment, then figured out the situation.

Although the current Hong Kong Island real estate has shown some development momentum, it is still in a downturn. Especially after a round of development and construction, the population that poured into Hong Kong Island more than a decade ago was mainly concentrated in the new area north of Shatin District and the border with the mainland. Now Hong Kong is not too enthusiastic about housing.

More importantly, the current situation is a critical stage in the game between the Chinese forces and the John forces. The Johns who just used the "Starlight Bank" to severely punish the Huo family are now in high spirits. The Huo family has now begun to sell off their land and property assets on a large scale, which has once triggered a downturn in the real estate industry in Hong Kong Island.

Lou Huaijin may not have seen through the opportunities and future trends here at all

Zhang Renkang nodded and shook his head and said

“I don’t have any opinion.”

"Are you and your elder brother sure?"

"I've made it clear in advance that although the real estate industry in Hong Kong Island is in a downturn, there are still many people and little land here."

"One day, population growth will promote the development of the real estate industry. Please don't say that Xiao'e took advantage of the Lou family."

Lou Huaijin laughed and said

"It's their own choice. Although there is room for development in Hong Kong's real estate industry, the market capacity is limited after all. No one knows to what extent it can develop."

“It’s possible to make money, but it’s not as secure as having factories and assets.”

"Don't worry about that. I will ask a lawyer to draft a professional division agreement. Then no one can say who is at a disadvantage."

"However, I can only leave the four factories of the Lou family in Hong Kong to the Lou family. Please understand."

Lou Huaijin was a tyrant, but he had lived in China for a long time and lacked a real vision. In his opinion, industry and manufacturing were the hens that laid eggs and were family heirlooms, so he left the Lou family's current factories to his two sons. The eldest son inherited three, and the second son, John, inherited one.

Lou Xiao'e could only get two plots of land in Shenshui District that the Lou family had bought before and several buildings that they had purchased at a low price. This was because of the two boxes of small yellow croaker that Zhang Renkang had given her. Otherwise, Lou Xiao'e would not have been eligible to share the family property.

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Since you have already booked it, I have no objection."

"All of them belong to Xiao'e"

"But please think it over carefully. Are you sure you want to give Xiao'e the channel to contact the mainland?"

"Will the Lou family withdraw from this in the future?"
