Chapter 2247

Even He Yuan is no match for her

As Lou Xiao'e got older, she really became a bit superstitious.

Her experiences made it impossible for her not to be a superstitious person.

Based on her original background and normal development, the fate of her half-sister, who died somewhere outside the Great Wall, should have been hers.

Even if she managed to escape.

Without He Yuzhu's initial arrangements and subsequent support, it would have been impossible.

In all likelihood, she will still be used as a bargaining chip by the Lou family in Hong Kong and traded away.

There was no way around it; Tanya's status as a concubine meant she was destined to be under the control of the Lou family.

Now, the Lou family is gone.

The Lou family was forced to leave Hong Kong Island by the mother and daughter, and then forced to go to Australia.

During the last gold rush, the entire main branch of the Lou family was wiped out, not a single one remained.

She knew it was Tanya Li who did it.

But she didn't intend to question Tanya Li.

Ultimately, her mother was doing it for her and her children, so that they wouldn't have to deal with this kind of trouble again.

Lou Xiao'e always had a feeling that He Yuzhu was a 'god' sent to her by heaven, constantly pointing her in new directions.

Her mother was her protector, willing to offend the whole world for her sake.

These strange ideas further solidified Lou Xiao'e's idealistic thinking.

To put it simply, it's just that I'm getting older, and looking back on the past brings a bit of emotion.

The beliefs of Chinese people have always been very practical.

Take Lou Xiao'e, for example. In the past two years since the reform and opening up, the projects she has invested the most in in the mainland have been various schools.

But what she most wanted to build was a few temples.

Of course, this is not yet open up in mainland China.

So it's just something I can only dream about.

However, if the policy is ever relaxed in the future, Lou Xiao'e will probably be one of the most enthusiastic supporters.

This is beyond doubt.

However, she also donated to many churches on Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, simply attributing her to a belief in a certain aspect doesn't seem quite right.

"...Sister-in-law, when did you find the time and inclination for this?"
"These flowers are growing quite well." Back in Lou Xiao'e's office, Guo Shumiao immediately noticed a pot of orchids in the corner.

Lou Xiao'e glanced at it, pursed her lips, and said, "This is a gift from the local government to me by the manager who went to the interior of the country to collect furs."

They said it was their city flower, representing their friendship towards Hong Kong businessmen.

The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water!

hehe···
It is said that the local market is very active in the market.

There's also a discussion about this in the Southern Yangcheng Daily.

There are all sorts of opinions.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but let out a cold laugh as she said this.

To her, the fact that a northerner gave her a southerner's bonsai was like a joke.

But that's just how things are.

People give her gifts out of courtesy, not because she has a choice.

"This!" Guo Shumiao was also stunned; she really didn't know what to say.

At a time when the entire population of Hong Kong is focused on technology, the sudden hype surrounding this on the mainland seems completely out of place.

This is similar to how, in later generations, we fought fiercely with foreigners for market share in semiconductors and high-precision instruments.

As it turned out, the foreigners were discussing whether our family could import some soybeans and corn from them.

It always exudes a sense of absurdity.

"Another businessman approached me, wanting to pretend to export a batch of orchids under our company's name..."

Several people contacted our people to communicate.

I firmly refused.

My reply to them was, "If we can do the fur business, great; if not, we'll part ways." Lou Xiao'e said, a look of disgust on her face. This kind of tactic wasn't common these days, but she was very familiar with it.

She has no intention of becoming a shill for those with ulterior motives.

For a big boss like her, the benefits she would gain from doing that kind of thing wouldn't even be enough to make her lose face.

"There are so many smart people in the mainland!" Guo Shumiao exclaimed.

Anyone who encounters this situation would be speechless.

Strictly speaking, there's nothing wrong with what they did.

Just like the kitchen and bathroom appliances under Lou Xiao'e's name, she was able to open up the market in Hong Kong by borrowing the gimmicks of Western designs and Western styles.

This applies to any business that wants to generate hype.

Foreign monks are better at chanting scriptures.

Even if it's just a bunch of family members in a small circle, there's still a limit.

They know each other very well.

He Yuzhu's monthly salary of three or four hundred is considered high.

If he were to take out a thousand or eight hundred at this moment, he could buy a pot of orchids.

Some people believe that, after all, He Yuzhu could indeed afford to spend that money for his hobby.

But it would cost He Yuzhu tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, to buy a pot of orchids.

Everyone would just think he's crazy.

In situations like this, outsiders usually have to be allowed in.

For example, Hong Kong businessmen and foreigners, regardless of whether they have money or not.

With just a little dressing up, someone can look presentable and sell a pot of orchids for over 100,000 yuan.

To those unaware of the inside story, orchids of the same grade would be worth hundreds of thousands.

This is similar to how Lou Xiao'e is still an honorary director of the Hong Kong Jade Association.

All useless things are played in roughly the same way.

First, it was within a small circle, with all sorts of encouragement.

Then draw on historical background and famous figures.
Just like tulips, it later even brought some kind of family honor.

Finally, based on product grade and other criteria, a series of tiers of lower-tier markets are established for market penetration.

Now some people over there are thinking of getting Lou Xiao'e to back them up. It just goes to show that the person who set this up is quite capable.

Of course, Lou Xiao'e didn't get involved, so those people didn't suffer any losses.

If they can't hire real big bosses from Hong Kong Island, then they'll just package a few bosses.

"Sister-in-law, the Hong Kong stock market and property market are still so hot. What do you think?" After a few casual words, Guo Shumiao got down to business.

The task entrusted to her by the city of Sijiu seems to be getting increasingly difficult to complete as the Hong Kong market becomes more and more popular.

She was truly uncertain about herself, so she could only turn to her close older sister for comfort.

“It’s not normal. The market on Hong Kong Island is actually just like that potted flower.”

It seems that no matter how high the price, there are always people trading in the market.

But in reality, it's very abnormal.

What's the rush?

Those of us who have tens or hundreds of millions of dollars sitting in the bank waiting around aren't in a hurry.

"You don't have any coins, what's the rush?" Lou Xiao'e spoke to Guo Shumiao very casually.

She didn't maintain that dignified demeanor in front of outsiders at all.

Guo Shumiao was speechless.

Is she rich?

Compared to the vast majority of people in mainland China and Hong Kong, she is a millionaire, one of the few who have achieved financial freedom, at the very top of the pyramid.

But compared to Lou Xiao'e?

Well, she can't compare to He Yuan in terms of wealth.

Although He Yuan is still young and at the age where she's always asking for candy, her shares in the property management company are now worth tens of millions. (End of Chapter)
