Chapter 166 The Master's Rules Are Rules
“Your cousin said she’s having some heart problems and asked me to take a look,” Jiang Tiansheng said, looking at Ruan Mei with a calm smile.
"Oh"
Ruan Mei simply said "oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
After staying for a while, Jiang Tiansheng said goodbye and left.
"Cousin, I don't remember you having heart disease, right?" As soon as Jiang Tiansheng left, Ruan Mei turned around and questioned Ruan Wen, "Why did you let the chairman examine your heart condition?"
Ruan Mei suspects that Ruan Wen has ulterior motives and wants to seduce the chairman.
She clearly doesn't have a heart condition, yet she claims to, striking that seductive pose from before.
Ruan Mei was very dissatisfied with this.
“I didn’t have this problem before, but recently I’ve been feeling a bit uncomfortable in my heart, so…” Ruan Wen began to explain.
There was nothing she could do; she couldn't tell the truth.
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mei looked at Ruan Wen with suspicion.
"Of course."
Ruan Wen said with certainty, "Otherwise, why did I ask so many questions just now? It was to see if I had also inherited the family's congenital heart disease...right."
After much persuasion from Nguyen Van, Nguyen Mai temporarily came to believe him.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Ruan Wen made an excuse that she was tired and went back to her room to rest.
Back in his room, Ruan Wen's expression immediately turned serious, and he then took out a cell phone from his pocket.
"Owner……"
A charming voice rang in Jiang Tiansheng's ears.
The word 'master' didn't come from Natasha's mouth, but from Fang Ting.
Fang Ting turned around and glanced at Jiang Tiansheng.
It was raining heavily outside tonight, a real downpour. Fang Ting felt like a small boat adrift on a vast ocean.
Fortunately, the helmsman was experienced, which prevented the boat from capsizing at sea.
Finally, after the storm subsided, everything returned to harmony and peace.
"Finally alive."
Fang Ting lay there, still shaken, as if she had escaped death.
“Starting next month, your monthly allowance will increase to 50.” Jiang Tiansheng said slowly as he finished dressing and looked at Fang Ting, who was still recovering.
"Really?"
Upon hearing the figure of 500,000, Fang Ting, who had been exhausted, instantly perked up.
That's 500,000 a month!
Based on current Hong Kong property prices, one only needs a year's allowance to buy a luxury penthouse of over 1,000 square feet in the city center.
The current average house price in Hong Kong is around 3000 per square meter, which is several hundred dollars higher than last year.
“I’ve prepared a 2000-square-meter villa for you in Repulse Bay. A driver and maid have been arranged for you.” Jiang Tiansheng looked at Fang Ting and continued, “From now on, you can move there.”
No matter what, she was still his concubine, so she couldn't be treated badly.
Given Jiang Tiansheng's current wealth, he is not short of money at all.
"Master, you are so kind."
Fang Ting blinked, her eyes revealing an undisguised allure.
"If you keep staring at me like that, I might not leave tonight," Jiang Tiansheng said calmly, looking at Fang Ting. Upon hearing this, Fang Ting immediately became more composed.
No, she really can't.
If Jiang Tiansheng had stayed, she might have really died.
"Master, may I bring my family along?" Fang Ting hesitated for a moment before finally asking.
During this period, Fang Ting used a lot of the pocket money that Jiang Tiansheng gave her to help her sisters at home.
"It's only for you three sisters; no one else is allowed."
Jiang Tiansheng looked at Fang Ting and said casually.
"Master, you are so kind."
Upon hearing this, Fang Ting immediately became excited.
After Jiang Tiansheng left, Fang Ting couldn't wait to share the news with her sisters.
However, after thinking about it, I decided to wait until I got back tomorrow to tell them about it.
By the way, let me mention the move.
Now...
No, Fang Ting is too tired. All she wants to do now is rest.
"Let me see him? Who does Jiang Tiansheng think he is, that I should see him?" Xiao Jiadao was furious after hearing Xinghe Group's reply.
It's important to understand that the Kadoorie family in Hong Kong is practically the invisible king, if not the hidden king.
Many of the lands owned by Li Ka-shing in later generations were actually acquired from the Kadoorie family.
The Kadoorie family used to hoard a lot of land in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is divided into four administrative districts: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula, New Territories, and Islands District.
In addition to the areas currently under development in the four major regions.
Of the remaining undeveloped land, much of it is controlled by the Kadoorie family.
Especially in the New Territories, nearly half of the land that will be developed in the future is held by the Kadoorie family.
Of course, these were several changes in shareholding methods, and it was difficult for outsiders to find out about them.
While it may appear that many of the land parcels are controlled by offshore companies, these offshore companies actually belong to the Kadoorie family.
Apart from the outlying islands, whether it's Hong Kong Island or the Kowloon Peninsula, where is there no land owned by the Kadoorie family?
CLP is simply the smallest of the Kadoorie family businesses.
To put it simply, Jiang Tiansheng's net worth has now exceeded 100 billion, ranking him among the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, or more precisely, seventh.
Before Jiang Tiansheng, there were six other families who were even wealthier than him.
Among them is the Kadoorie family, whose assets rank among the top three, or even possibly first or second.
Therefore, Xiao Jia was very unhappy after she learned what Jiang Tiansheng had said.
"Mr. Kadoorie..."
The assistant standing to the side looked at Xiao Jia.
If it were any other company, Xiao Jia would have already given the order to teach them a lesson.
However, to be honest, Xinghe Group is actually somewhat difficult to suppress.
No matter what businesses Xinghe Group has under its umbrella—telecommunications, power, security, banking, or the soon-to-open hospital—it cannot suppress them.
Not to mention telecommunications, Galaxy Group is the dominant player in Hong Kong.
Even though replicas of the PHS phone have appeared elsewhere, there's no way to replicate this legend in Hong Kong.
Not to mention the power industry.
CLP and HK Electric are now being steadily defeated by Star Power.
His purpose in meeting with Jiang Tiansheng was to ensure fair competition and prevent the latter from engaging in low-price dumping, which would prevent everyone from making money.
The Kadoorie family isn't afraid of a normal price war.
Your price is low?
Okay, I'll give you an even lower price.
The concept of burning money is not a recent invention.
The so-called "burning money" is just a continuation of the price war.
The Kadoorie family has nothing but money.
However, Jiang Tiansheng did not play by the rules. Not only did he set a low price, but he also signed a 20-year contract with no price increase.
At first, Xiao Jia thought Jiang Tiansheng was playing a contract trap.
There is suspicion that Jiang Tiansheng's claim of signing a contract is actually a ploy to raise prices after securing the market.
So Xiao Jia Dao Dao specially had someone bring over a contract.
The final result was that he had people study it carefully, word by word, and the conclusion was that there were no problems.
Xingdian Company is very honest; the contract clearly states that the electricity price will remain unchanged for 20 years.
This makes things very difficult.
They can wage a price war for a while, but they won't wage a price war for 20 years.
If they sign the contract according to Jiang Tiansheng's prices, CLP will lose at least HK$20 billion a year, which would amount to HK$400 billion over twenty years.
This is all based on the assumption that coal prices will not rise, and all calculations are based on the minimum.
Even a fool wouldn't do a business where you have to pay out more than 400 billion Hong Kong dollars before you even see a chance to win.
Capital only pursues profit.
Otherwise, Xiao Jia wouldn't have wanted to have a proper talk with Jiang Tiansheng, but it's clear that the other party has no intention of talking now.
Although Xinghe Security is a newly established branch, it is clear that it is only there to serve the Xinghewan project.
He had no way to suppress them through the Kadoorie family's connections.
As for Xinghe Hospital, it goes without saying.
“Mr. Kadoorie, perhaps we can make a big deal out of Chiang Tien-sheng’s triad affiliation.”
The assistant standing to the side looked at Xiao Jia and offered some advice.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jia's eyes lit up, and she looked at her assistant.
“Mr. Kadoorie, I have received some news. It is said that Chiang Tin-sing refused the Governor’s summons…” the assistant whispered in the young Kadoorie’s ear.
"good."
Xiao Jia listened attentively, nodding occasionally. Then she instructed her assistant, "Now, contact the Governor of Hong Kong immediately and ask him when he will have time to invite him to dinner."
“Yes, Mr. Kadoorie, I’ll take care of it right away.”
The assistant said this, then turned and left with a smile.
“Young Kadoorie from the Kadoorie family wants to see me.”
Soon, the Governor of Hong Kong received a report from his subordinates.
Putting aside the Kadoorie family's background, their Jewish identity alone makes them a force to be reckoned with.
In particular, the other party has connections and dealings with many Jewish financial groups.
Ultimately, the Governor agreed to the meeting, which was scheduled for 8 p.m. that evening at the Governor's residence.
"Mr. Kadoorie, welcome, welcome."
When the Governor of Hong Kong saw that Little Kadoorie was coming, he personally came out to greet him.
“Governor of Hong Kong.”
Little Kadoorie, dressed in a black suit and tie, carrying a cane, walked over with a smile.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.
At the dinner table, the Governor of Hong Kong warmly entertained Little Kadoorie, but they did not talk much.
But after they finished their meal and went to the study, no one knew what they talked about.
In the end, Xiao Jia left with a big smile on her face.
...
"Master, there is news."
Jiang Tiansheng was sitting in his car, preparing to return to the villa, when his phone rang. It was Natasha calling.
"What's the matter?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng immediately asked.
“Master, an hour ago, Kadoorie met privately with the Governor of Hong Kong. The two talked for a long time in the study. I don’t know exactly what they talked about, but when Kadoorie left, the Governor personally saw him off, and the two seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation…” Natasha reported in detail over the phone.
She even knew what dishes the Governor of Hong Kong and John Kadoorie ate, but she didn't know what they talked about.
"It seems the two of them have joined forces to deal with me," Jiang Tiansheng said calmly.
