"I don't understand what you're saying, but my father-in-law and mother-in-law both like to trade stocks. Don't let them know you're investing in this kind of business, or they'll try every possible way to contact you through me, asking this and that until even I get annoyed. Now that your business is getting bigger, I have to think about whether you're busy before I call you. If news of this kind of internal trading gets out, it will have a huge impact on you. Most Hong Kong people can't keep their mouths shut. It can't be because my family wants to make a little money that we harm you."

Yin Zhe leaned on the balcony, enjoying the evening breeze, telling the truth.

He laughed after listening.

Chen Linzhi said, "I'm not usually busy, but I travel all over the world, so I may not be able to answer your calls. Looking at the life you're living now, it's quite enjoyable. It's a pity you decided to settle in Hong Kong. Otherwise, if you stayed in San Francisco, we could get together more often."

"It's alright, mainly thanks to you for giving me a stable job, otherwise it would be a little difficult to support my family. The customs and culture in Hong Kong are not quite the same as in San Francisco's Chinatown, but generally they are similar, making it a good place to live. There are also many trivial matters. Today I just had an argument with the neighbor next door, telling him not to put garbage and smelly shoes at the door. I can only say I'm just making a living. How can I compare to you? Miss Hong Kong, daughters of wealthy families, female stars, etc., you can have them all with just a flick of your fingers."

While saying this, Yin Zhe looked inside the house more than once, lowering his voice.

Even though he is a married man, with a wife and children, it's inevitable that he feels tempted by the glamorous world from time to time. It has nothing to do with maturity; it's purely an instinct from the heart.

Chen Linzhi chuckled:

"I do know a lot of beautiful women, but you have a family, so I can't harm you. It's better to be down-to-earth and build up your small family. Don't look at me now, all glamorous on the surface, I actually have many troubles, and they aren't the kind of small problems that can be solved with money. I've even seen a psychologist in private. She told me I'm just making a fuss about nothing. Anyway, I should be coming to Hong Kong often from now on. Let's keep in touch and go out for drinks when we have time. My female companion is still waiting for me at the hotel, so I'll go back now."

"Who? That rich girlfriend of yours?" Yin Zhe gossiped.

Chen Linzhi smiled and said, "A female star, but I can't tell you who..."

————————————————

He could clearly see one vortex after another.

The collapse of the Soviet Union, the bursting of the Japanese bubble, the Gulf War, the Reform and Opening Up policy, the great changes in the communications industry, the accelerated development of the Internet, etc. However, Chen Linzhi was in the middle of it all. Although he found it a bit interesting, he couldn't say he felt particularly passionate about it.

Looking at the history of human development, trivial things happen every day, and major events occur frequently.

If he looked up at the sky like some philosopher among civil servants, he would realize the vastness of the universe, the infinity of time and space. What is humanity? What are the major events of the moment? They are just ants and dust.

All he can do is to live his own life well, and help some people within his capabilities. It's good to be able to influence the world's格局 and leave a mark in history, but it doesn't really matter if he can't. Anyway, one day in the future, he will close his eyes and stretch out his legs, and everything will be gone.

Recently, Chen Linzhi acquired a string of jade court beads, which were originally the collection of Empress Dowager Cixi, then passed on to Emperor Guangxu, who then gave them to Consort Zhen. Such a well-preserved treasure is worth just over a million US dollars. Not only are the people gone, but the Qing Dynasty has long been gone. Countless dynasties have disappeared before that, and every dynasty had its own period of prosperity and glory.

If he thinks along these lines, it really is quite meaningless. No wonder so many wealthy people dream of immortality all day long, desperately supporting research teams working on life extension projects.

The reason why he was considering these things was because Chen Linzhi saw Yin Zhe's family living harmoniously, and suddenly realized that living like Yin Zhe seemed quite comfortable. Yet, he couldn't even find any family members with whom he shared a blood connection. In the end, he had the thought of "I should have a child" on the way back to the hotel, otherwise half the meaning of continuing to struggle would be lost, and it would be easy to fall into nihilism.

Before leaving Yin Zhe's house, Chen Linzhi specifically asked if he had any difficulties recently.

Yin Zhe just smiled and said that he had to work harder to build a family fortune for his big fat son, so that his son wouldn't suffer like he did when he was a child.

Just like Nagasawa Ayase didn't want to be deprived of the joy of making money, Chen Linzhi didn't actively interfere in Yin Zhe's life this time either. Otherwise, even if he casually let a little bit slip through his fingers, it would be enough for that family to live a life of luxury.

After thinking about it over and over again with the help of alcohol, he realized that being content with a small fortune was the most comfortable. No wonder so many wealthy people's children are unwilling to inherit their parents' coveted family property, but instead enjoy their own lives. No wonder Boss Zhang in his previous life could say classic lines like "I'm so rich, but so miserable." Being too rich inevitably brings a series of mental crises.

This made Chen Linzhi more determined to "slay the dragon," otherwise he was worried that he would get bored and find a place with beautiful scenery to retire at a young age. He then began to ponder over taking some lessons from Old Mr. Qu at tomorrow's lunch, perfecting his ideas of opening a stock exchange in Casino, 1997, acquiring land in the suburbs of Hong Kong to build a semiconductor industrial park, and investing in the communications industry as one of Qualcomm's pilot projects in Asia.

If the other party is interested, some businesses can be done together, and he can also use Old Mr. Qu's influence in the three regions, which will inevitably make many problems easier.

It's easy to buy a gift for Yin Zhe, but he has to think carefully about what to give to Mr. Qu.

There are many fake cultural relics and antiques. It's good to give the right one, but wouldn't it be slapping himself in the face if he bought a fake? The other party doesn't lack money or other items, so he can't just show up with some fruit.

After careful consideration, he didn't have a good idea for a while, so he first made a phone call and asked Gao Boxue to send the two bottles of aged Maotai as soon as possible.

After meeting Jennifer at the hotel, he went out shopping for suitable gifts again.

After shopping for more than two hours, Jennifer bought a pile of things, but Chen Linzhi still couldn't find a suitable item, so he finally decided to pick an old, authentic item from the pile of antiques he had collected from all over the world.

Many of Chen Linzhi's antiques are currently stored in the Standard Chartered Bank vault in Hong Kong, so it won't be too late to pick them up tomorrow morning.

Jennifer couldn't understand Cantonese, so the plan to watch a movie was canceled. And Chen Linzhi, who had just gone to see Qian Yue, didn't want to go back to the hotel so early, so he went to a bar in Lan Kwai Fong. Not long after he sat down, a fight broke out, and the bodyguards quickly evacuated them.

……

The entrance of the Qu family mansion.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the weather was not good, with heavy rain accompanied by thunder.

In this situation, Chen Linzhi came to the Qu family as a guest with gifts.

There was no need to worry about security issues. He told the bodyguards to wait in the car. If you were to ask which place was the safest in all of Hong Kong, the Qu family's residence would undoubtedly be one of them. It would be too inappropriate to bring so many bodyguards when visiting someone's home.

Perhaps because they had rarely met in the first half of this year, Chen Linzhi was pushed down by Jennifer last night even after drinking two rounds of drinks. Even now, his back was still sore and he felt listless.

The girl stood on the side of the street last night watching other people fight, watching with great interest. In the end, both sides called dozens of people, shouted a few words, and then left.

It has to be said that the治安 in Hong Kong at this time was indeed not very good. No wonder movies like *Young and Dangerous* and *To Be Number One* could be filmed in the future. The plots also like to include some fighting and killing content. All that can be said about this is that a certain kind of soil will produce a certain kind of flower.

The UK didn't intend to seriously rectify local public security before, and it was even less likely after the return date was set a few years ago. I'm afraid they can't wait to leave a mess for the mainland, and are busy digging pits and burying mines.

Chen Linzhi had the intention to reverse the situation, but his foundation in the local area was not stable enough at present, otherwise he would not have come to know Old Mr. Qu instead of being busy with business first.

Carrying the gifts in one hand, he rang the doorbell. Not long after, Mr. Qu himself opened the door.

Speaking of one of the largest "docks" in Hong Kong today, Old Mr. Qu is undoubtedly one of them. His industries are all over Hong Kong. During his peak period, he had eight percent of the construction business in the entire Hong Kong. Now he can still compete with Old Li, and he will not be at a disadvantage.

If he was just rich and also held the position of chairman of the Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Chen Linzhi would be too lazy to come to拜码头. Whether in terms of personal worth or the speed of making money, looking around, there is no one in the world who can compete with him today.

The reason for the visit is mainly that the person in front of him has great righteousness. Even Chen Linzhi has the intention of taking advantage while doing good deeds, but this person is different. He is purely for charity and to help others. In recent years, he has generously invested in dozens of projects in the mainland, and has also attracted many Hong Kong companies to invest across the river.

"Please come in, please come in! I was thinking that since the rain is so heavy, we should reschedule for another time. When I called your hotel, I heard that you had already set off, so I had to wait for you. The weather in August is unpredictable, and this rain will probably stop soon." Old Mr. Qu said with a smile.

Chen Linzhi smiled and replied, "It's a rare opportunity to visit. Even if it hails, I have to come. I previously collected two bottles of 1952 black-label red-cap aged Maotai. Even the distillery doesn't have much of it in stock. I specially brought them to honor Uncle Qu."

The wine was just cleared through customs and delivered this morning.

There is also a Jian kiln black-glazed tea bowl from the Northern Song Dynasty, which is rare because it is engraved with the words "供御" (gong yu, for imperial use) on the foot, an authentic item from the palace.

"1952...thirty-eight years?"

The old gentleman shook hands with Chen Linzhi and continued, "There's water at the door, come in and talk. What's the point of bringing gifts? You're making me spend money. I've heard friends say that a Chinese American is doing very well in the United States, showing off his talent and bringing honor to us. I can't help but admire him..."
