Chapter 244 Slap in the face
The richest man was not interested in the bottles and jars accumulated by Hutchison Whampoa, a long-established British-owned listed group in Hong Kong over the past 100 years. Instead, he was more interested in land, buildings and hotels, which many Hong Kong people found incomprehensible.

Although they don't understand, ordinary people have a very strong ability to use their imagination. Since Mr. Fang is willing to exchange a big thing for a small one, it means that there must be value in it that they cannot discover.

Even this kind of self-brainwashing consciousness has made many amateur real estate speculators more convinced that there is great potential in the real estate industry.

You see, even the richest man is optimistic, so why should we ordinary people be pessimistic?
Harry Sharilela also invests in real estate, but he wisely chooses to bet on multiple areas and not put all his eggs in one basket.

In addition to Hong Kong, the Harilela family has purchased land and built hotels in Southeast Asia, Balakrishnan, the United States and other places.

"Haha, I can't say it was a robbery. It was an exchange between Mr. Li and I that was beneficial to both of us."

"Well, I apologize for my inappropriate words."

"Haha, it's nothing. To be honest with you, Mr. Xialilila, I go back to the Hilton Hotel every day after get off work. I almost regard it as half my home."

"It seems that Mr. Fang is very satisfied with Hilton's hotel services?"

"It's OK. The most important thing is that it's convenient!"

"A few days ago, I suddenly had an idea. When I visit major cities around the world, can I have hotels there? In this way, wherever I go, it will be like home."

At this point, Xialilila was completely certain that the other party wanted to enter the hotel industry.

"Haha, Fang Sheng is really an optimist."

"Oh? Is Mr. Xialilila praising me or is there something else behind this?"

As soon as Old Harry finished speaking, he realized that his words were inappropriate, so he changed his tone and said seriously:

"Of course I envy Fang Sheng's strong ability to adapt to any situation."

"Haha, thank you. So from that day on, I thought, since I have so much spare money, I don't want to keep it in HSBC to earn the interest, so I might as well invest it directly in the hotel industry."

"I also know that I am a complete layman, but I have a good mentality. Before making a decision, I comforted myself that if I really lose money, I can just buy a vacation villa for myself in various places."

When Old Harry heard this, he really wanted to spit in the face of the richest man opposite.

Damn, I've seen people showing off, but I've never seen anyone showing off and pretending so blatantly.

"So, Mr. Fang wants to buy my hotel?"

Old Harry didn't want to beat around the bush with the other party, so he directly pointed out his little thoughts.

"Haha, Mr. Xialilila is really quick to speak. Yes, this is exactly why I came here."

Old Harry was even calmer than before. He replied calmly:
"Mr. Fang, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. This hotel is the private property of the Xialilila family and is not for sale. You can ask other families. In today's economic environment, there may be a lot of people waiting to sell it."

"Haha, thank you Mr. Xialilila for your advice. I will also consider other hotels, but this does not prevent you from selling the Golden Mile Holiday Inn to me."

There was a strong sense of arrogance in Fang Hexuan's words, and four words were highlighted - I have money!

Frankly speaking, Old Harry didn't like the other party's somewhat aggressive attitude. He looked down on the Chinese in his heart and always prided himself on the gentleman spirit preserved by the British suzerain.

For example, Fang Hexuan feels that he is more like a civilized person. At least when it comes to doing business, he is more disciplined.

"I'm sorry Mr. Fang, I have to reiterate that the Xialilila family will not sell the Golden Mile Holiday Inn."

It can be seen that the other party is slightly angry, but Fang Hexuan does not seem to be angry at all. He still smiles and says:

"Mr. Xialilila, please calm down and listen to me. Thank you."

"I have investigated and found that your family has many hotels overseas. It is not necessary to lose this one." "I am asking you to sell the hotel with great sincerity. The price is really not a problem."

Fang Hexuan's words were half true and half false. He would not give the other party the opportunity to ask for an exorbitant amount of money.

Old Harry's expression eased slightly, he took a deep breath, and then said in a slightly reminiscent tone:
"Mr. Fang, since you have done your research, you must know what this hotel means to me, right?"

Fang Hexuan certainly wouldn't agree with him, but just said politely:
"Appreciate further details!"

Old Harry was too lazy to care about the other party's cheating and continued to reminisce about the past.

"I acquired this land with a partner in 1965. We originally planned to build a hotel two years later. But we didn't expect it to be hit by a landslide. All my partners withdrew their investment and left. I had no choice but to bear all the risks alone."

"Two years later, I finally decided to start construction, but the bank was unwilling to lend me money. I had no choice but to list 40% of the shares of my Empire Hotel on the stock market. That's how I had enough funds to build the Holiday Inn Golden Mile today."

"It can be said that the Xialilila family took a huge risk for this hotel. We were even prepared for bankruptcy."

"Mr. Fang, I admire the Chinese people's attitude of respecting heaven and following ancestors. For the Xialilila family, Golden Mile Holiday Hotel is a treasure left by their ancestors. How can we sell it to others?"

Old Harry was a little excited and his mouth was dry as he spoke.

Similarly, although Fang Hexuan was listening very seriously, he was secretly complaining in his heart.

These words were half true and half false. Fang Hexuan didn't believe that there was really a deal in this world that couldn't be reached.

If one day, Holiday Inn Golden Mile becomes a negative asset for the Xialilila family, do you think they will sell it?

"I understand Mr. Xialilila's feelings towards this hotel. It is like a child you have raised with great care."

Old Harry agreed with this statement and nodded.

"Well, yes, he is my biological son."

"Haha, Mr. Xialilila, I don't know if you have read Chinese history. In ancient times, many Chinese sold their children. I believe that this situation is also very common in Barak."

Old Harry was somewhat unhappy with Fang Hexuan's statement and was about to open his mouth to refute it.

"Don't be impatient. Please listen to me. They are all your own flesh and blood. No parent would really want to be separated from their children. They also want their children to survive."

"Fang Sheng, what do you mean by this?"

Fang Hexuan smiled slightly, did not answer immediately, but took a sip of coffee.

"What I said just now is very clear. Although the Golden Mile Holiday Hotel was built by you yourself, it is about to die. Mr. Xialilila, are you really willing to let it slowly be destroyed?"

Old Harry's eyebrows suddenly raised, and his whole face fell, looking very angry.

"Mr. Fang, even though you are the richest man in Hong Kong, you should be careful with your words and actions."

"Oh?"

Seeing that the other party was still relaxed and calm, Old Harry became more angry.

"Why don't you tell me why my hotel is slowly being destroyed?"
