Chapter 152 You have the right to remain silent "Although I am older than you, seniority is not important in the business world. With your current achievements, you are far superior to what I was then. Even if you are younger than me now, you are not much worse." "After all, I am able to get to where I am today thanks to the support of my ancestors, but you started from scratch. If we really talk about it, you are definitely better than me." "To be fair, if we were in each other's shoes, I would definitely not be as good as you." Guo Henian's tone was somewhat emotional, and his words were full of admiration. What he said was not just polite talk, but came from his heart. When Guo Henian was a child, his family was considered wealthy in Malaysia. If he had not inherited his father's grain company, he would not be where he is today. As for Lin Zehao's rise to wealth, he was more or less aware of it. It was indeed very difficult for him to climb from a lowly gang member at the bottom of the society to the position of the leader in just two years, but that was not what he admired. What really makes Guo Henian feel sincerely admired is that Lin Zehao can jump out of the cage of young and dangerous people, break the shackles, and open up a whole new world of his own! Only those who have experienced it understand how difficult it is to undergo such a huge transformation! After Guo Henian and Lin Zehao chatted for a few words, Ren Darong and Wang Bingyao saw this and deliberately found an excuse to leave space for the two.
They have completed their mission as introducers. Due to their identities, it is not convenient for them to participate in what happens next. "Mr. Lin, to be honest, I want to build a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. I wonder if you can help me?" Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Guo Henian finally mentioned one of the purposes of this trip. He knew that if he wanted to do business in Yau Tsim Mong, he had to first pay homage to the support of Sheng and Wei Long. Even the Kadoorie family, an old-established family in Hong Kong, and its Peninsula Hotel, have to pay property fees to Lin Zehao, right? Before this, Guo Henian had been developing in Malaysia and had only been in Hong Kong for a few years. He was not well-known and did not have many connections. That's why he asked Ren Darong to introduce Lin Zehao to him. This is much better than rashly going to the person's house to ask for a meeting. Regardless of whether things succeed or not, there is always room for detours. "Oh? That's a good thing." "I heard that the Shangri-La you built in Malaysia is very good." "Don't you know the address of the hotel? Where is it?" Lin Zehao did not say whether he agreed or not, but asked back. Guo Henian smiled and said, "The land at 64 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui has been bought. As long as Mr. Lin can make it convenient, I will start construction." "Don't worry, I know the rules. As long as Mr. Lin can help, I am willing to give out 20% of the shares of this hotel as a thank you gift." "I have brought the equity agreement. As long as you nod, you can sign it now." Nowadays, the most prosperous area in Hong Kong Island is undoubtedly Yau Tsim Mong. Any businessman with a little bit of ambition cannot avoid this place. Therefore, Guo Henian knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Hong Kong Island, he must have a good relationship with Lin Zehao. These shares are indeed valuable, but if they can be exchanged for the friendship of a big boss, then it will definitely be worth it! "Since Mr. Guo is so generous, I will be disrespectful to refuse it."
"Don't worry, I won't take your shares for nothing. If you encounter any difficult problems in Hong Kong Island in the future, just come to me." Lin Zehao thought for a while and finally nodded in agreement. First of all, Guo Henian’s potential is worthy of Lin Zehao’s friendship, and he was introduced by Ren Darong. No matter how you look at it, it is difficult to refuse. Since he had to agree, he couldn't help for nothing. Otherwise, after the news got out, more people would come to him with empty words. Therefore, accepting 20% of the shares is neither a violation of the rules nor a way to improve relationships. "Mr. Lin is indeed a young hero, quick-witted and outspoken." "Take a look at this contract. If there is no problem, you can sign it now." Guo Henian waved to his assistant and handed over two contracts. "No need to look at it. I still trust Mr. Guo's character." Lin Zehao did not bring Li Wenbin with him when he went out today. Moreover, he was certain that Guo Henian would not play tricks on a hotel, so he signed his name immediately. The most important thing is that Lin Zehao has the confidence. If Guo Henian dares to play tricks on this, he will not let him leave Hong Kong Island! As both parties signed their names on the contract, they naturally looked very happy. After chatting for a while, Guo Henian suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Lin, are you married?" "When I was your age, I already had a child." Lin Zehao shook his head and said, "My parents passed away early, so I haven't found a husband yet." As one's status continues to rise, it becomes increasingly difficult to find a marriage partner. Although Rosamund Kwan and Gao Lihong were both his women, they were definitely not marriage partners. No one, including themselves, would ever have such an idea. They knew that with Lin Zehao's status, it was absolutely impossible for him to marry a woman of ordinary background. This has nothing to do with love, it's just based on reality. "Please accept my condolences, Mr. Lin. If your father and mother are still alive, they would be very pleased to see you in your current state." Guo Henian first said a few words of comfort, and then said: "I happen to have a daughter, two years younger than you, named Huishu. I will introduce her to you when I have the chance." "You are all of the same age, so you have common topics to talk about. What's more, I feel more at ease with your character." The more Lin Zehao listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did these words sound more like the man was looking for a son-in-law? He doesn't mind blind dates. Moreover, considering Guo Henian's wealth and status, if he really planned to marry his daughter to him, they would be considered a good match. In fact, from a certain perspective, Lin Zehao is marrying above his station. However, this is only based on the current situation. If we talk about future potential, Lin Zehao is definitely worthy of it. However, without knowing what he looked like, Lin Zehao decided to choose carefully and said, "Okay, let's have dinner together when we have a chance." "I will definitely bring my daughter with me next time, don't worry."
The more Guo Henian looked at Lin Zehao, the more satisfied he became, otherwise he would not have introduced his most beloved youngest daughter to him. After finishing the conversation, they played football for a while. When they had sweated enough, the game was considered a success. Just as Lin Zehao was about to leave by car, Wang Bingyao's car pulled over. Seeing this, Lin Zehao lowered the rear window. "By the way, there is a superintendent in the West Kowloon Crime Unit named Huang Zhicheng." "According to police files, he has a cousin, Huang Wenwu, who was previously on the run from Organized Crime and Triad Bureau." Wang Bingyao seemed to say it casually, then rolled up the car window and drove away. "Let's drive." Lin Zehao nodded slightly, said something to Ama, narrowed his eyes, and looked thoughtful. …… Mahjong parlor. The shrinking guy who was playing mahjong was visited again. However, this time, it was police officers from the serious crime squad. "I am Liu Jianming from the West Kowloon Crime Unit. You are suspected of participating in group gambling. Please return to the police station to assist in the investigation." "You have the right to remain silent, but what you say will be used as evidence in court." Liu Jianming showed his ID and signaled the police officer beside him to take the shrinking belt away. As for the other three card-playing friends, they found that no one was paying attention to them, so they subconsciously looked at each other and tiptoed out. As soon as he got out of the door, he started running away. (End of this chapter)
