MTL - Reborn Capital Tycoon-Chapter 7 Toshiuji family
Chapter 7 The Ricci Family
When people mention the four big families in Xiangjiang, the first impression in their minds is probably Er Li and Guo Zheng's four big real estate business families.
The four major families rely on real estate companies to monopolize all walks of life in Xiangjiang, becoming the most influential wealthy families in Xiangjiang.
However, what everyone does not know is that before the rise of the four major real estate families, in the era when the British were in power, the four major families in Xiangjiang were not the four major real estate developers Er Li and Guo Zheng, but the He Dong family headed by Zhou Yongtai. Family, Lee Hysan Family and Li Pei Cai Family.
Ho Tung Family
The Ho Tung family began at the end of the 19th century. It was the head of the four Hong Kong families in the era of the British Hong Kong government.
Many people may not have heard of the Ho Tung family, but when it comes to a more famous person, everyone will know that the famous Haojiang Gambler & Wang Hegambler in later generations is from this family.
Zhou Yongtai Family
The Zhou Yongtai family was originally from Dongguan. The first ancestor Zhou Yongtai came to Xiangjiang in the middle of the 19th century to develop. Later, his eldest son Zhou Shaoqi became a member of the Regulatory Bureau.
The Zhou Yongtai family is different from the other three major families. Its family power is mainly concentrated in the political circle. During the era when the British were in power, most of the family members held important government positions and were not deeply involved in the business world.
Lee Pae Jae Family
The Li Peicai family was the head of the early Xiangjiang Bank family. It started at the end of the 19th century. It was about the same time as the other three families. Compared with the three families, this family is so low-key that it is almost impossible to find much information. The only connection is East Asia. Bank, the largest independent local bank in Hong Kong.
With bankers as the source of capital, even if such a family is again, its strength is not comparable to that of ordinary families, let alone ranked among the four major families.
The last of the Lee Hysan family
The Lee Hysan family started in the 1920s, and started as a pornographic film in the early days. Although the Lee Hysan family was the latest of the four major families, its strength is not inferior to the other three families.
How profitable is the stuff that Ricci started?
Let's put it this way
At the beginning of the 20th century, Sanxin Company, controlled by the Lee Hysan family, was the largest filmmaker in Xiangjiang at that time, and its annual profit was equal to one-fifth of the fiscal revenue of the Republic of China.
One fifth, what a terrifying number?
But that thing hurts others and harms oneself, and no one can do it for long, so the Li family gave up the business they started a long time ago, and began to actively enter other legitimate industries. The Li family is keen on charity on weekdays, trying their best to whiten themselves, Erase the early black history.
Those who have been to Xiangjiang in later generations must have been to the Causeway Bay business district, the most prosperous area in Xiangjiang. You read that right, the most prosperous area in Xiangjiang is not Central, but the Causeway Bay business district.
Causeway Bay business district is the busiest shopping and dining area in Xiangjiang. The main commercial and entertainment venues in Xiangjiang are concentrated here. Later generations gathered many large department stores and large shopping malls. The more famous ones are Sogo Department Store, Times Square, and Lee Theater Plaza. and the World Trade Center.
It is worth mentioning that the Causeway Bay shopping area is the most expensive location in the world, not one of them.
The Li family purchased a large amount of land here in the early days, and has always enjoyed the title of land king of Causeway Bay. From this, one can imagine how rich this family is.
And Li Wenhui comes from the Li family of the four major families. The Li family has been passed down in Xiangjiang for several generations. The family has many members and is very powerful. Nowadays, Li Xiaohe is the most famous, and the famous Sixth Uncle Shao can only be inferior , Waited until after the other party passed away before officially entering TVB.
Which one of the current wireless masters is Li Wenhui's uncle, uncle, and brother of his grandfather.
"What? You want to see my uncle?"
Chen Yi didn't speak, just nodded.
Li Wenhui took a serious look at Chen Yi, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, frowned slightly, and asked, "What do you see my uncle doing? He is usually very busy."
"Is there nothing you can do?" Chen Yi was a little disappointed when he heard the words.
"Tell me first, why do you want to see my uncle?"
"Don't tell me that you want to enter the showbiz and become a star. If that's the case, I won't help you."
In this era, celebrities are actors, not only wealthy families, even elites with some status are not very interested in them.
It's not that Li Wenhui looks down on celebrity artists, the main reason is that once Chen Yi enters the entertainment industry, her parents and family will not be able to accept a celebrity artist as a son-in-law.
Although the two of them haven't formally dated yet, both of them are smart people who can feel each other's feelings for each other. Once Chen Yi takes that step, there is really no hope for the two of them.
In future generations, we can see that many actresses have gone through hardships to marry rich families, and no matter how famous the male stars are, there is no news of who took the daughter of which family.
It can be seen that wealthy families reject male stars far more than female stars.
"What do you think about in your head every day?" Chen Yi saw her staring at him with a tiger's face, and suddenly became a little angry. He reached out and flicked her forehead, "When did I say that I was going to enter the showbiz? What? When did you say you were going to be a star?"
"It hurts so much." Li Wenhui covered her forehead, looked at Chen Yi warily, and said hesitantly, "So, you're not going to enter the showbiz? Are you not going to be a star?"
"Nonsense" Chen Yi rolled his eyes.
Hearing this, Li Wenhui didn't care about Chen Yi's bad attitude, and said with a smile: "Then can you tell me, what do you want to see my uncle for?"
Chen Yi said: "You can't help, why tell you?"
Seeing Chen Yi's indifferent attitude, Li Wenhui was a little unhappy, and said angrily: "Who says I can't help, it's my uncle, I can see him whenever I want."
"Cut" Chen Yi cut, and muttered: "I believe you are a ghost."
"It's fine if you don't believe it." Seeing that Chen Yi didn't believe her, Li Wenhui was also a little angry, angrily vented at the food on the plate, and stuffed the food into her mouth.
"Miss didn't lie to you"
Qi Dahai, who was silent from the beginning to the end, couldn't help uttering a few words, which caused Chen Yi to look at him in surprise.
However, with Qi Dahai's words, Chen Yi no longer doubted it.
"Humph" Seeing Chen Yi looking over, Li Wenhui hummed twice, showing that I was still angry and didn't want to talk to you.
Seeing this, Chen Yi didn't speak again, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and grabbed things with Li Wenhui. Although the food tasted so-so, the two of them were very satisfied.
After the two large plates of food were emptied, both of them felt a bit stretched.
