Upon hearing this, Liao Lieying responded softly, but a hint of jealousy welled up in her heart.
But she knew that things had come to this point, so she had no choice but to agree.
As they spent more time together, Liao Lieying came to know a little about He Yuzhu's character.
This person appears to be a virtuous gentleman on the surface, but in reality, he is a complete lecher.
The Du sisters, whom he brought with him when he was in Hong Kong, have long since become his bedmates.
Now, she has an ambiguous relationship with her assistant named Huang Zhirou. Although Huang Zhirou still appears to be a virgin and has not yet been completely subdued by He Yuzhu.
When Xu Huizhen, the legal wife, returned this time, she brought back two other women, Xu Huizhi and Zhao Yuezhen, along with her.
It is clear from the faces of those children that the offspring they each gave birth to are undoubtedly He Yuzhu's own flesh and blood!
In this way, it can be clearly shown that these three women are all He Yuzhu's confidantes.
As night falls, they control most of the time, while she, as the mistress, can only enjoy intimate moments with He Yuzhu during the day.
One night, after resting, He Yuzhu slowly got up from his bed and drove to find Huo Yingdong.
Upon his arrival at his destination, Huo Yingdong warmly invited him to sit down and eagerly inquired:
"I heard you successfully acquired a giant ship with a size of tens of thousands of tons?"
He Yuzhu nodded slightly in response:
“That’s right, that’s why I came here specifically to discuss this matter with you.”
He then made no attempt to conceal his plans to get involved in the transportation of scrap steel and metals.
After listening, Huo Yingdong immediately agreed and said directly:
"It just so happens that I own a fairly large shipping company. Why don't you entrust that ship to my company for management and operation, and lead a professional team to carry out business together? What do you think?"
He Yuzhu did not immediately accept the olive branch extended by Huo Yingdong.
After all, he knew that his core strength lay in the field of machinery manufacturing, and he was not entirely confident about venturing into the shipping industry at this moment.
Moreover, setting aside other factors, the waters outside Hong Kong are still frequently harassed and attacked by pirates from Southeast Asia, and the potential risks are not to be underestimated.
"Great! I've been thinking about how to develop this business lately, and I've finally found a clue."
He Yuzhu said excitedly.
"Hehe, what a coincidence! We happen to have a shipment going to America, so we can take that scrap metal with us on the way. We'll bring it back for you on our return trip," the other person replied with a smile.
After some discussion, the two quickly reached a consensus and settled the matter.
At this moment, He Yuzhu suddenly remembered what they had discussed on the phone earlier and quickly asked:
"By the way, didn't you say on the phone that someone wanted to sell a villa? What are the details?"
"Yeah, it's right above my house. Why don't we go over and take a look now?" the other person suggested enthusiastically.
"Sure! I've been having trouble finding a suitable place to stay lately. If I could find a villa I like, that would be perfect!"
He Yuzhu replied with great joy.
"But let me be clear from the start, that house is quite old and hasn't been repaired or maintained for many years. It will probably need a major renovation. So it definitely won't be habitable in the short term," Fok Ying-tung kindly reminded him.
"I know, I know. I do have a temporary place to stay right now, so there's no rush to move in. As long as there's nothing seriously wrong with the house itself, it's fine."
He Yuzhu nodded in understanding.
And so, the two chatted as they walked out of Huo Yingdong's company.
They then got into the car and drove up the winding mountain road.
Huo Yingdong's home is located at 2 Pollock's Path on the Peak in the Central and Western District, a quiet and scenic place.
Back then, he spent a full HK$40 to buy this villa! Moreover, near his home, at No. 4 Pollock's Path, lived the taipan of HSBC, the largest bank in Hong Kong, making it a veritable gathering place for the wealthy.
The car slowly drove up Pollock's Road, first passing Fok Ying-tung's villa, and then continued uphill. Finally, it stopped in front of villa number 12.
Huo Yingdong slowly and smoothly parked the luxury car in front of a magnificent villa.
After getting out of the car with graceful movements, he smiled and introduced himself to the person next to him:
"This villa originally belonged to a foreigner. However, he has now left his post due to a job transfer. Coincidentally, the real estate market has recently started to recover, so he decided to put the house on the market. As soon as I heard the news, I contacted them immediately and asked them to hold it for us."
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows with a hint of smugness.
Hearing this, He Yuzhu, who was standing to the side, felt grateful and quickly said:
"Thank you so much! I didn't expect you to find a suitable place so quickly. Ever since Xu Huizhen and the others were about to arrive, I've been thinking about arranging a good place to stay as soon as possible. So, I quickly called a few old friends to help. But who knew that you would be the fastest and find such a villa for sale right away."
Just then, a security guard walked out of the guard post.
The security guard looked quite old, but he was energetic and walked with a steady gait. He opened the gate and respectfully invited everyone in.
Upon entering the villa courtyard, the first thing that catches the eye is the main building, which is full of Western style.
This villa has four floors, including one basement level and three above-ground levels.
Each floor is quite spacious and grand, but unfortunately, due to being uninhabited and unmaintained for a long time, the entire villa appears somewhat dilapidated and decaying.
Huo Yingdong and He Yuzhu first carefully toured the various rooms and layout inside the main building.
Afterwards, they went to the courtyard and inspected the row of auxiliary buildings next to it.
These auxiliary buildings also have two floors, with as many as seven rooms on each floor.
In addition, there is a dedicated garage next door for convenient parking.
In the backyard, there is a sizable swimming pool. Although the water is a bit murky, one can still imagine its beautiful appearance when it was crystal clear.
He Yuzhu carefully examined the entire villa, and thought to himself that overall he was quite satisfied with it.
There are plenty of rooms here, which can fully meet the needs of Xu Huizhen's family of three plus their child.
However, the interior of this house obviously needs a proper renovation.
"Hmm, it's really nice! How much did this villa cost?"
He Yuzhu turned to Huo Yingdong beside him and asked.
Huo Yingdong smiled slightly and replied:
"The asking price is 55. If you are sure you want it, we can discuss the price with the seller."
Upon hearing the price, He Yuzhu thought for a moment and then said:
"Alright, I think this house suits my taste, let's settle on it then."
At this moment, Huo Yingdong couldn't help but sigh:
"It's unbelievable! In just two years, the house price has increased by more than 100,000 yuan. That's incredibly fast! The house we bought back then was about the same size as this one, and we could have easily gotten it for only 400,000 yuan two years ago."
He Yuzhu nodded in agreement after listening:
"Yes, although it seems a bit expensive to buy such a villa for around 50 right now, you have to know that an 11-story industrial building only costs a mere million to build. So, this house is almost worth half of an industrial building!"
He then continued to say to Fok Ying-tung:
"So I'll have to trouble you to contact the seller for me. If there are any other villas for sale, please let me know as soon as possible. I might consider buying a few more."
However, as is well known, the number of villas located on the top of Xiangjiang Mountain is extremely limited, and each one is a rare treasure.
Even if one of these buildings were placed in the future, its value would easily exceed 10 billion RMB.
At this moment, although He Yuzhu lacked a large sum of money, a few hundred thousand yuan was as easy as picking something out of a bag for him.
If he wanted to buy a few more luxury villas like these, it wouldn't cause him any financial burden at all.
"Okay, I will notify you as soon as any suitable properties become available."
After finishing his conversation with the other party, He Yuzhu slowly walked down the mountain.
Before long, he arrived at the magnificent industrial building in Xihewan and went straight to the top floor.
Chapter 504 Want to enter the clothing industry
"father!"
As soon as he stepped into the room, He Yuzhu heard his eldest daughter Xiuxiu's clear and melodious voice.
Immediately afterwards, a petite and lovely figure rushed to him like lightning, then, with a joyful expression, shouted loudly and threw herself into his warm embrace.
With a broad smile, He Yuzhu picked up his eldest daughter, gently kissed her rosy cheek, and asked tenderly:
"My darling daughter, how was your day?"
The eldest daughter blinked her big eyes and pouted her little mouth, saying:
"Dad, this place is no fun at all. When can we go home?"
He Yuzhu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and asked in return:
"This will be our new home from now on, so why wouldn't you like it?"
Xiuxiu, like a little adult, counted on her fingers:
"Dad, we can't push the iron hoop here like we used to, and we can't jump rope with our friends anymore. There aren't even any candied hawthorn vendors here, let alone my favorite crispy candy and maltose. In short, there's nothing good to eat or fun to do here!"
After saying that, the little guy pouted with a wronged look on his face.
