Li Ka-shing's mansion is located at No. 79 Deepwater Bay Road, Hong Kong. This address was decided before he started a business in his early years and was still running a plastic factory, but he did not enter the real estate industry. This businessman from Chaozhou, Guangdong lived here for a lifetime. Even when his family's population flourished and he needed to change houses, he also renovated his old house on the original site, and "waited for seven years" to move in another "larger" villa.

This mansion is located in the southernmost part of Hong Kong Island, nearly ten kilometers from the Lamma Island Gangdeng Power Station to the east and west. The pick-up car sets off from Tsim Sha Tsui, crosses Victoria Bay from the Hung Hom Underwater Tunnel to the south, passes through the bustling downtown area of ​​the bay and goes deeper, and then comes the vast and green hilly terrain.

The Repulse Bay Road, which crosses the dense forest, is winding and long, but there are only about ten mansions along the way, which are naturally extremely huge and luxurious, but these are not the destination for this trip. Until it arrived at the southern end of Hong Kong Island, it passed through the top coastal residential area in the east with high-end villas as the core, and the car drove westward. Not long after it moved forward, it finally arrived at the Deep Water Bay Road.

First along the coast, then go deeper into the mountains north and deeper into the mountains, at the corner from east to south at the top of the hillside road, and also on the west side of the golf course in the east, where the Li family's mansion is located.

From time to time, the security measures in the late stages were extremely strict. After all, Li Ka-shing doesn't have so many children yet, and his wife Zhuang Yueming has not yet passed away. So for Alice, this visit was indeed full of freshness. The driveway was not z-shaped from the main road gate, and the main entrance of the mansion was also facing the highway instead of facing it. This was not a familiar feeling.

After getting off the car, of course, she got off the car first and then Li Zeju. Alice immediately saw the 60-year-old man walking towards her.

"Welcome to Hong Kong, Miss Wang." The familiar black suit and face that was much younger than the impression but extremely familiar, the old man held the girl's hand: "The whole city is adding luster to your arrival."

"You are so polite, Mr. Li." Alice smiled and shook hands with him, "Just like everyone else, call me Alice. In addition, your English accent is very authentic. If you don't look at yourself, you will generally not know the identity of the speaker."

Li Ka-shing, wearing the pair of thick-framed glasses, politely accepted Alice's praise, and nodded to his eldest son: "Zeju, why don't you invite Alice into the house quickly. She is the representative of our global Chinese businessmen."

What a stingy title, Alice smiled and was invited into the residential area. Naturally, the area of ​​this house is not amazing, and the decoration is not very gorgeous. After all, it was a house he built many years ago. Alice also knew that for this self-made businessman, his own safety is far more important than luxury, especially after the incident of his eldest son Li Zeju being kidnapped.

In the spacious living room, a lady dressed solemnly and elegantly appeared. It was Li Ka-shing's first wife, Zhuang Yueming. The distinguished guest came to the door and naturally wanted to welcome him at home. However, after the three of them sat on the sofa, the hostess did not wait in front of them, but immediately went to the kitchen on the grounds of pouring tea.

"Alice," Li Ka-shing said after sitting for a moment, "I can imagine that you will definitely have this series of big moves when you come to Hong Kong this time. Last year's stock market crash, global stock markets fell sharply, and your short-selling behavior made you net profit of at least one billion yuan. Is this true?"

"Only more, no less," Alice smiled and nodded, "I'm surprised that Mr. Li has already learned so much about me. Is it because Hong Kong newspapers have been reporting on details of Hang Seng that were shorted?"

Li Zeju chuckled from the side and said, "It's okay for Hong Kong, mainly the Times and the Daily Mail. You know, you are not only in Eaton, but also a rare Chinese girl, but you have sold tens of millions of dollars from the London stock market, and anyone will talk nonstop."

"Oh, that's a bit beyond my expectations." Alice's idea was not consistent with Li Zeju: "I thought that when the Hong Kong media saw me, a Chinese businessman, take advantage of the global stock market, and could report it in a concentrated manner. It seems that there must be a layer of fig leaf. Well, I won't talk about these in advance."

After the three consecutive casual conversations at the beginning, Alice turned to say, "Mr. Li is right. I came to Hong Kong this time, and I did have a large-scale investment mentality. After all, this place is no less than London, New York and Tokyo, and the mainland behind me has just established a reform and opening-up zone in Guangdong. The future development potential is very strong."

As she said this, Alice had another idea in her mind. Indeed, Hong Kong's super status could last for a long time. At that time, almost all domestic cities were fishing villages, but in less than thirty years, the GDP of Shenzhen and Guangzhou should surpass the entire Hong Kong. Of course, at that time, her overall career had long been developing to a certain extent, so she didn't care about this.

Zhuang Yueming brought the tea and immediately sued him. Li Ka-shing took the initiative to fill Alice with a cup, then gently blew the bubble on his cup, and said: "The acquisition of the Peninsula Hotel is symbolic than the actual income; a loan of $500 million from HSBC proves that you are preparing for a larger-scale investment project. As for your visit to the Hong Kong Lamp Company, a subsidiary of Changjiang Infrastructure, and proposed a cooperation targeting Cisco, it is just that your market expansion behavior of your own industries has nothing to do with the previous two."

After drinking half a cup of tea, he smiled and said, "So kid, I'm really curious, what purpose did you come to my Hong Kong?"

"In order to move towards the industrial field," Alice said: "My current enterprises are basically concentrated in Silicon Valley, that is, the only industrial industry that has been put on the table is just a clothing brand. And that is just a clothing brand, not a real clothing processing industry."

He only said half of the words, but it was enough to make people understand. Without pondering, Li Ka-shing immediately further said: "You have become a billionaire with Microsoft, and Cisco is also a newly listed IT company, and its future development potential is very strong. Why don't you focus on the development of the existing field, but expand it to the industrial field?"

As the conversations passed through the two of them repeatedly, Alice's answer came out: "The national economy will take off in the industrial field after all. If there is no sufficient physical product foundation to support it, no matter how high the output value of the service industry is, it will be just a castle in the air. Maybe I can earn tens of millions of funds by just tapping the computer, but that is just a string of numbers after all, not something that can be seen and touched."

Li Zeju smiled and interrupted. Li Ka-shing didn't ask anything immediately, but when he nodded slightly, Alice clearly observed and a smile of comfort and satisfaction appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If I talk about the development in the industrial field, I can be considered to be rich in experience," he looked at Alice after a moment. "My initial entrepreneurial achievement was a plastic products factory, and I became the king of plastic flowers with the technology I learned in Italy, which led to the basic capital of real estate. Now it seems that you are much more advanced than me in the same development steps. You have developed the news about winodws10 in one or two weeks, but it has been published in industry journals and magazines in detail."

Alice immediately waved her hand modestly: "Where, where, it's just a little cleverness..."

"Tell me, kid," Li Ka-shing sat upright and poured Alice a cup of tea: "What can I do with my Yangtze River Group to help you?"

Now, Alice laughed completely.

"Your industry," she said: "is a huge system built with Changjiang Industrial Co., Ltd. as the core."

Li Ka-shing nodded slowly and waited patiently for the next sentence. Even though he admired the little girl who suddenly appeared and was willing to support her, of course, it is necessary for the other party to understand him.

"'Cheung Shi' is the flagship of Cheung Kong Group. It is a real estate development and strategic investment company. Its members in Hong Kong include three listed companies that are also constituent shares of the Hang Seng Index: Cheung Shi, Hutchison Whampoa Co., Ltd. and Cheung Kong Infrastructure Company."

"Chengshi is one of the largest real estate developers in Hong Kong. He develops a series of residential and industrial and commercial properties in Hong Kong and owns nearly half of Hutchison Whampoa's shares. Hutchison Whampoa is a large multinational enterprise with business operations all over the world. It operates six core businesses in 52 countries around the world, including ports and related services, real estate and hotels, retail, infrastructure, energy, and telecommunications."

"The final Yangtze River Infrastructure... After all, Mr. Li, you really made your company complicated enough. The company's subordinates invested in Hong Kong Lamps and then marched towards cement. Then Hong Kong Lamps merged and listed with other related power companies... Well, it's really complicated, it's messy to sort it out!"

The first two were very clear-cut, but the last one was confused. Looking at Alice's disgusting look, the distinct gap made both the Li family laugh.

"Okay, okay, it's rare that you have the intention to investigate." Li Ka-shing nodded with satisfaction. Seeing Alice take another sip of water, her eyes signaled, Li Zeju immediately filled her with another cup: "Well, Alice, since you have done some investigations on my elder brother's company, I have a problem before I tell you about your willingness to cooperate."

Alice easily drank one-third of the hot tea in one sip: "Well, please ask."

It was natural that an old man asked a young and successful American compatriot: "You said just now that the composition of my Yangtze River Infrastructure is a bit chaotic. So what do you have unique opinions on the development status of my entire group? Little Alice?"
