Chapter 2455
The He Family Looks Down On
For the poor, the problem is not scarcity but inequality.
Actually, it's pretty much the same for the rich.
The wealthier a person is, the less likely they are to flaunt their wealth in public.
Some people will boast about the element of luck in their success, for example, that their business started out just by playing around.
A company worth trillions was almost sold for a few hundred thousand back then.
Some people, however, hold up watches worth a few hundred dollars and preach thrift and frugality to others, even if they are top members of a certain luxury watch brand.
Why?
The goal is to make the public perceive their success as replicable.
With a little luck and a bit of effort, an ordinary person can also achieve this.
These people have all studied military strategy.
They know the principle of not flaunting their wealth.
Foreigners may not have military strategy, but they actually use similar methods.
For example, the world's second richest man loves to eat Coca-Cola burgers.
Some wealthy people just like to run alone.
It's actually a good thing that these people have a sense of awe.
Because those wealthy people who lack a sense of awe either keep climbing up the ladder, all the way to the top position in América.
If they stop, there can only be one outcome.
He became the target of public criticism, and his accumulated wealth was divided up by others.
Lou Xiao'e is not unaware of this principle.
But she's been so happy lately.
All my life's ambitions came true in this year.
How could I not be happy?
Therefore, it's understandable that some people don't think things through when they hear what others say.
But in front of her man who had never been proud, and in front of her daughter-in-law whom she had always wanted to be a role model for, she quickly sobered up after hearing He Yuzhu's words.
And they simply admitted their mistake.
He Yuzhu initially treated Zhang Chaoyang's request to go out and solicit business for advertising as a joke.
The real reason was to trick Zhang Chaoyang into coming to Hong Kong Island with him.
This brat had a really bad reputation in Beijing last year.
The people of Beijing gave him a nickname: "Golden Finger".
In other words, no matter what industry it is, as long as he gives a little guidance, it will surely be able to turn losses into profits and make a lot of money.
In the early years of reform and opening up, everyone was thinking about making money, and there were actually many people like him.
They can be found in various places.
Such a person must have an open personality and dare to say anything.
Using their knowledge that surpasses that of the general public, they offer guidance to those struggling in society.
It's nothing.
But something happened this year.
He Yuzhu was afraid that this kid might say something he shouldn't at a crucial moment.
So they gave him some work, requiring him to make a trip to Hong Kong Island.
Of course, there are other explanations as well.
Although advertising in mainland China has developed over the past two or three years, its costs are still too low.
If we're thinking about attracting sponsors for the Asian Games...
The highest price that those who can make the final decision can think of.
It's estimated to cost only a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan per piece.
Who knows, they might offer it for free to friends in Hong Kong Island for some reason, such as saving face.
Even if you manage to get hundreds of brand sponsors, how much advertising revenue can you actually generate?
A drop in the ocean!
Therefore, He Yuzhu wanted to keep this power in his own hands.
Isn't he still in the Asian Games organizing committee, holding the title of advisor?
Therefore, he has the authority to resolve some funding issues for the Asian Games.
That's how this trip to Hong Kong Island came about.
Let He Xinghua take Zhang Chaoyang to visit the homes of various billionaires and explain to them the importance of the Asian Games to the mainland.
Then it will make those people put away their petty grudges a little.
Don't just think about getting small advantages.
"Uncle, uncle, hahaha... a million, a million in sponsorship fees!" His voice preceded his arrival, perfectly describing Zhang Chaoyang.
The courtyard of the He family mansion is undeniably large.
But He Yuzhu heard Zhang Chaoyang's shout as he entered the courtyard clearly while sitting in the garden.
Lou Xiao'e covered her mouth and chuckled, then winked at her daughter-in-law.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law even had time to remove the two small ornaments hanging on He Yuzhu's body.
He led them into the inner room.
Although He Yuzhu treated Zhang Chaoyang as family.
But Lou Xiao'e didn't treat that "country bumpkin" as her own nephew or niece.
Lou Xiao'e also has her own misconceptions on this matter.
It can also create the illusion that one cannot see the people in the countryside clearly.
The key issue was that Zhang Chaoyang was too glib and smooth-talking, which made Lou Xiao'e dislike him.
Once the women in the family had gone into the inner room, Zhang Chaoyang excitedly went to He Yuzhu's side.
A group of Filipino maids or security guards followed behind, each carrying a large dog.
This is a luxury mansion!
The security and services are top-notch on Hong Kong Island.
This is also what He Yuzhu cares about most.
He had specifically reminded Lou Xiao'e several times, and after arriving in Hong Kong this time, he even called Ah Biao over for a talk.
The goal was to have Abiao elevate the security measures for Lou Xiao'e to a higher level.
He put it very simply.
If the foreign devils want to leave, our forces can't get in.
So for the next ten years or so, before Hong Kong Island returns to the mainland, there will inevitably be a power vacuum on Hong Kong Island.
At that time, all sorts of demons and monsters will come out.
It's perfectly normal for some people to want to take risks and make a fortune.
The He family is like jade; there's no need to compare its hardness with that of rubble.
Ensuring safety is a top priority for Ah Biao, the "chief steward."
He Yuzhu glanced sideways at Zhang Chaoyang, who was beaming with joy.
Keep quiet and composed!
Zhang Chaoyang was completely stunned!
He didn't know what mistake he had made this time.
But he knew that He Yuzhu's look was meant to make him reflect on his actions.
To be honest, he already knew something about He Yuzhu.
Being in a family like his.
Making friends isn't something you can do with just anyone.
But his original view of He Yuzhu was too superficial.
It wasn't until I followed Ho Yu-chu to Hong Kong Island that I witnessed the Ho family's authority there.
Only then did he truly understand what a so-called wealthy family should be like.
Hundreds of servants and security guards.
They are always picked up and dropped off in luxury cars when they go out.
If you're talking about a business deal, you'd be embarrassed to even mention it if it's less than a hundred million.
When He Xinghua led him to solicit sponsorships.
He noticed that He Xinghua looked shy and was too embarrassed to speak.
I thought He Yuzhu had set the standard for him, that a sponsorship fee of one million per person was too high.
As a result, the first thing they asked He Xinghua for was several million...
This kind of boldness also exceeded Zhang Chaoyang's expectations.
Only then did he realize that among the true tycoons of Hong Kong Island, a million was just a starting point.
It is said that this time, He Xinghua got married, and those who were qualified to come and give gifts were present.
The gifts given away were at least in the hundreds of thousands or even millions.
These things are all so far removed from his original life.
This is He Yuzhu setting a lower limit for him, as well as an upper limit.
Otherwise, he could have brought back tens of millions in sponsorship this time.
There are always some speculators who want to gamble big once and for all.
But the He family wouldn't consider someone like that. (End of Chapter)
