Chapter 252 Meeting an old friend at a cocktail party

As May approaches, the temperature in Hong Kong is getting hotter and hotter.

The most popular Governor of Hong Kong is about to leave office, and many Hong Kong people are somewhat confused and worried about the future.

In this anxious social atmosphere, Fang Hexuan quietly established a group company - Mengxuan Hotel Group.

He had no talent for naming, so he just took the first character from DreamWorks and combined it with his own name.

The company's headquarters is also in the Global Building, and many managers are recruited through headhunters.

The group currently has three hotels, namely Hilton Hotel, Imperial Hotel and Holiday Inn Golden Mile.

Hilton Hotel is operated by the American Hilton Group and Mengxuan will not interfere.

Mengxuan controls 60% of the shares of Empire Hotel and has the right to change the name according to the rules, but Fang Hexuan has no plans to do so for the time being.

The name of Holiday Inn Golden Mile cannot be retained because it is a hotel brand owned by the Harilela family.

If Fang Hexuan had not agreed to give up the name of the hotel, Old Harry would probably have argued with him for a long time.

In fact, he had originally planned to abandon the name "Golden Land Holiday" after the acquisition was completed, so it was not a pity.

The handover process with the Xialilila family would take a week, but Fang Hexuan had already had to start thinking of ways to clean up the mess he had created.

Taking advantage of the change of ownership, Golden Mile Holiday Hotel needs to lay off many Indian management and service staff, and also needs to renovate.

However, the most troublesome thing is to get the Hong Kong government to revoke the administrative order of "protective development".

Some newspapers that were still following the news line of the historical relics of the last regime of the Southern Song Dynasty in Hong Kong were surprised to find that the Golden Mile Holiday Hotel, which was listed for protection, went directly from limiting the number of guests it accepted to closing the store.

The reporters thought they had discovered big news, but after careful investigation, they found out that the hotel had changed its owner.

Several overjoyed newspapers directly reported this news which was somewhat unexpected to many people.

Hong Kong citizens immediately imagined that the richest man decided to buy the Holiday Inn Golden Mile in order to take the lead in protecting precious historical relics.

I didn't expect it to be exposed so soon. With no other options, Fang Hexuan could only issue a brief statement to the public.

After acquiring Holiday Inn Golden Mile, in order to better cooperate with the Hong Kong government's "protective development" policy, Mengxuan Hotel Group decided to invite the most professional archaeological team from the United States to use the most advanced underground survey equipment to accurately locate the location of historical relics and establish more effective guidance for subsequent targeted protection.

As soon as the statement came out, people from all walks of life expressed their appreciation for Mr. Fang's spirit of respecting history and caring for cultural relics.

Fang Hexuan could only make the best of a bad situation and indeed planned to find the world's most powerful geological and archaeological survey company to help lift the curse on Golden Mile Holiday Hotel.

On May 5, Fang Hexuan and You Bingwen took their mother to attend the farewell reception for Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose.

Lao You is now considered a big boss in Hong Kong's taxi industry, so naturally he received an invitation from the Hong Kong government.

The cocktail party allowed the invitees to bring one partner, but Fang Hexuan did not bring Takakura Miki.

Because there are so many people attending this cocktail party, from all walks of life in Hong Kong, isn't it intentional to increase the topic by letting the Japanese girl attend with me?
Fang Hexuan had originally planned to get rid of her before the end of the year, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Although Lao You is considered a figure, he still lacks connections in Hong Kong's upper class society.

Therefore, it becomes necessary to take him and his mother to visit some political and business leaders and celebrities.

When I was chatting with Li Fuzhao, the former chairman of the Far Eastern Exchange, I happened to meet Li Huanggua, who was accompanied by a follower - Huang Yulang of Yulang International.

Li Fook-szau was born into a wealthy family in Hong Kong and was very talented in finance. Both Fang Hexuan and Li Huanggua respected him.

Therefore, no matter how unpleasant the relationship was before, they were all laughing and talking happily now, saying hello and shaking hands, without any awkwardness at all.

"Mr. Li, I heard recently that your Hutchison Whampoa is doing very well. Congratulations!"

"Thank you very much. Mr. Fang is very successful in the business world of Hong Kong. I envy him so much!" "Haha, we're the same. I didn't expect that Mr. Li is also planning to enter the comics industry?"

As he said this, Fang Hexuan looked meaningfully at Huang Yulang behind Huanggua.

"Mr. Fang misunderstood. The Hutchison Whampoa business has almost cost me my life. How can I have the energy to take care of non-related businesses?"

"Haha, it seems that I am really petty and have misunderstood Mr. Li and Mr. Huang!"

"No, Mr. Huang and I are from Chaoshan. We just happened to meet each other."

"Haha, the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce is really full of talented people!"

"Haha, the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce is no less impressive!"

The two people who were originally destined to be rivals were exchanging witty remarks in front of the smiling Li Fuzhao, leaving no one else able to get a word in.

Fang Hexuan did not point it out. Since he already knew that Wong Yuk-lang was planning to bring in Li Huanggua as foreign aid, all he had to do was to be prepared.

However, he still deliberately smiled with a dagger hidden in his heart, stepped aside Li Huanggua and shook hands with Wong Yuk-lang behind him, saying:
"Mr. Huang, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are still as charming as ever!"

Wong Yuk-lang had previously arrogantly stated in front of Li Huanggua that he would collect negative information on Fang Hexuan. Now that he has met the real person again, he still lacks confidence.

He could only force a fake smile and said:
"You are not as glorious as the richest man in Fangda. You are the one who is more glorious than anyone else."

"Haha, then I'll borrow Huang Sheng's words."

"However, Mr. Huang has to work harder, as there are still eleven comics alliance companies waiting for Yulang International to slowly acquire them."

Fang Hexuan did not lower his voice when he said this, so everyone around him could hear it clearly.

Those who don't know the inside story are confused, but top business figures like Li Huanggua and Li Fuzhao know everything.

However, they didn't say anything and just pretended not to hear.

"Uh, thanks for Mr. Fang's reminder, I know what to do!"

When Fang Hexuan heard Huang Yulang's perfunctory answer, he used his height advantage to stare down at him for more than ten seconds.

Everyone around could feel the tension and the flashing of swords in the air, and Wong Yuk-long, who was being stared at, was not feeling well either.

"Haha, I hope so. Just don't forget our agreement!"

After saying that, he didn't look at him again, but continued to chat with Li Fuzhao about the current financial environment in Hong Kong.

Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Li Huanggua knew that he could not interrupt, so he had to take Wong Yuk-lang away from the scene.

"Mr. Li, you've seen it all, Mr. Fang simply doesn't take you and the entire Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce seriously."

Huang Yulang felt very embarrassed after being bullied by Fang Hexuan just now, and after leaving, he hurried to find Li Huanggua to sow discord between them.

Who is Huanggua? He is an old fox who has wrestled with Fang Hexuan. How could he not know about Wong Yuk-lang's crude tricks?

However, they were from the same hometown after all, so he did not directly refute the other party, but just replied calmly:
"He is only 22 years old, and he is already the richest man in Hong Kong. If you were him, you would have the right to be so arrogant!"

After hearing this, Huang Yulang was stunned and didn't react for a long time!
