Wang Lin rejected Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo regretfully said that Wang Lin would consider it carefully because he is really the most suitable candidate.

Wang Lin said directly that I didn’t have to consider it, and I couldn’t be the leader.

Mr. Huo did not leave immediately, but talked about business with Wang Lin.

Wang Lin has few commercial idols, and Mr. Huo can be regarded as one of them.

He had some knowledge of Mr. Huo's life and deeds.

Mr. Huo started his business in a grocery store. Before that, after he entered society, he worked as a coal maker, a mobility repairman, an apprentice, a blacksmith, and even a coolie.

His career has been developing continuously, and now his business scope has expanded to various industries including real estate, construction, shipping, hotels, restaurants, department stores, oil and other industries.

Mr. Huo has three wives in his life.

This was a very common thing in Hong Kong in the past.

Tang Jixian also passed by the third wife. Now the two rooms are left by his side, and Tang Xiaowan's room is equivalent to being disconnected.

Mr. Huo has a very clear attitude towards the wife of the third house. The eldest house is the eldest house and inherits the property, but he will not treat the other two houses unfairly.

The rich people's ideas are surprisingly consistent in their attitude towards their children.

Wang Lin and Mr. Huo became more and more speculative the more they talked.

He learned a lot of knowledge from Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo also had a freight business and made his first pot of gold.

His freight career has not actually made him join the wealthy circle of Xiangjiang, but it has given him a lot of spare money. In order to do freight business and be sensitive to population circulation, he noticed that Chinese and foreign businessmen are slowly starting to enter and leave Xiangjiang.

Seeing the backward housing conditions at that time and a keen sense of business, he decided to invest the money in real estate. In 1953, he jointly founded a company with his wife and officially entered the real estate industry.

At that time, his actions were not favored by outsiders, and he thought that he was a cake for senior management. However, he finally proved that he could do it with practical actions.

In real estate, he invented many innovations, including two sales models and methods that have continued to this day.

One is that he invented the building instructions, which lists the price, starting date, relevant information, etc., and then distributed it to citizens, allowing more people to quickly understand the situation of the building without delaying their working hours, which is the current flyer.

The second is his first "selling houses", which is actually what we call pre-sale of commercial housing mortgages.

After he made these revolutionary breakthroughs in his sales model, before his building was built, citizens who wanted to buy a house were already lined up.

When he talked to Wang Lin about his entrepreneurial history during this period, he once said: "At that time, people from all over the world rushed to buy houses, and even scalpers were reselling. I was afraid of receiving the money."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "In that period, real estate in Xiangjiang was already very developed."

Mr. Huo said: "Actually, it's not quite developed, but I've seen the future trend. Where there are people, there will be demand for real estate. It's like I went to the mainland to invest in the hotel industry, because I know that the business will definitely be good. Huacheng has the Canton Fair, and there are many Chinese and foreign businessmen, and there will be demand for the high-end hotel industry. Only when there is demand will a market be created."

Wang Lin was humbly taught.

It is better to listen to Mr. Huo talk about a business story than to read a hundred business books.

Listening to Mr. Huo’s preaching, such opportunities are not often available, and they are not something that ordinary people can get.

Just like Buffett's lunch, truly smart people can learn the way of finance.

Mr. Huo’s business journey has not been smooth.

A storm caused him to withdraw from the most profitable industry at that time, but it did not shake the foundation of his business empire at all.

When developing the real estate industry, he also invested in the infrastructure level. At that time, Xiangjiang, where the economy was developing rapidly, could be said to be unable to live without sand for a day, and he happened to have a sea sand industry that few people invested in.

The reason why few people do it is because compared with finance and real estate, Haisha is thankless and can’t make much money. Even so, he has invested a lot of energy in this industry.

Finally, his sea sand industry was also very large, and he was therefore called the sea sand king by outsiders.

The sea sand industry is not very profitable, but it is not useless. On the contrary, the sea sand industry in his later commercial territory also played an important role.

During the Haisha business, he accumulated a large number of resources such as ships, various professional machinery and equipment, construction teams, etc., so he also contracted a large number of projects and even international bidding projects.

After that, he even switched to oil, department stores, tourism and other industries.

It was not until 1978 that after the country proposed an open policy, he began to invest in and build a large number of projects in the mainland.

Among them, the White Swan Hotel he donated became a representative of his construction in the mainland, with a total investment of more than 49 million US dollars.

Note that the donation here is written as donation. The donation here means that the property rights will belong to Huacheng after the 20-year cooperation period expires.

Wang Lin benefited a lot from listening to him telling his development history.

Mr. Huo’s commercial layout is similar to Wang Lin’s layout.

After making money in an industry, they will immediately lay out raw materials.

Mr. Huo had a certain understanding of Wang Lin before he came to visit him.

That's why he felt that Wang Lin was really a powerful businessman, quite similar to him when he was young.

When Mr. Huo saw Wang Lin himself at this moment, he felt even more like this.

Wang Lin was better than reading for ten years when he heard what he said. The more he talked, the more he became more and more speculative.

Before we knew it, it was already noon.

Huo Qingyao asked, "Mr. Wang, it's lunch time soon. Are you at home alone? Why don't you invite me to have a meal?"

Wang Lin looked at the time and said, "I'm sorry, I've been wasting your time. I'm alone at home today. I'll invite everyone to dinner at the mountain, right?"

Huo Qingyao said: "Don't be so troublesome, just go to my house to eat, grandpa, what do you think?"

Mr. Huo said: "Mr. Wang Lin, you don't have to be out of here, just go to my house for a meal, right?"

Wang Lin was not easy to refuse, so he agreed.

He locked the door and got on Mr. Huo's Rolls-Royce.

Huo House is located in the Sasun Road, Pofulin, Xiangjiang. The characteristics of this house are all made of stone. It is one of the rare European castle buildings in Asia. It is unique among the luxury houses in Xiangjiang.

Sasun Road is also the top luxury house in Xiangjiang. Next to it is the famous Xiangjiang University, which is also very close to the Central Business Center of Xiangjiang.

This is the first time Wang Lin has seen the true face of Mount Lu in this ancient castle.

He paid attention to the house number, it was No. 33.

The number 3 is somewhat particular.

This number is particularly taboo in some places.

But some people like this number very much.

With his sight, the lawn at the door alone exceeded 1,000 square meters, the entire mansion exceeded 3,000 square meters, covering an area of ​​about 5 acres of land, and all the swimming pools and other equipment were available.

The mansion is surrounded by mountains and sea, facing north and south, and you can see the invincible sea view on the lawn at the door. The two large stone lions at the door further demonstrate the owner's status. The market valuation of this house has reached at least 2 billion. It only cost 1.43 million to buy it that year. 1.43 million yuan appreciated to 2 billion yuan, and Mr. Huo has made a good deal.

Since buying this house, Mr. Huo's family has lived here for decades.

However, only the Huo family's large house lives here, and the second and third houses also have luxury houses in other places.

Although the castle is large, the whole family is crowded with more than a dozen people. In addition, the servants and drivers and other servants still feel that it is too small.

However, Mr. Huo is a very traditional person. When he was alive, he didn't want his grandchildren to move out, so the three generations of grandparents lived together.

Wang Lin followed Mr. Huo to the castle.

He felt that the family was very well-educated, polite and polite, and had no airs of a rich man at all.

Except for that little girl, the little girl named Huo Qinglian, she thought Wang Lin was a servant and was a little arrogant, but when she learned that Wang Lin was the master whom her grandfather was going to visit, she stopped talking much. Her eyes often showed a look of surprise. Maybe he felt that Wang Lin and her imagination were a little different?

The Huo family treated Wang Lin very friendly and made Wang Lin feel at home.

His family has lunch ready.

On the dining table, Wang Lin did not have any delicacies, but only had a table of home-cooked dishes.

During the meal, no one at the two tables spoke, and no one even made too loud noises.

Everyone was eating silently.

If you don’t eat or sleep, you will be promoted to the extreme in such a wealthy family.

Wang Lin was born in a commoner's home. The few women around him were all ordinary women. There were not so many rules at home.

Whether they eat or sleep at home, they almost always chat.

But Wang Lin could also hold back and not say anything.

After dinner, Mr. Huo invited Wang Lin to the living room to have a conversation.

There were only them in the room, and no one else came to disturb him.

There are so many people in the Huo family, but when Wang Lin and Mr. Huo were talking, the surrounding area was so quiet that it was easy to hear.

Wang Lin did not say goodbye until four o'clock in the afternoon and left.

After talking to him for a day, Mr. Huo did not rest, and his energy was even more energetic than that of Wang Lin, a young man.

Wang Lin delayed one night's sleep last night, and only made up for one night this morning, and he was a little impatient at this moment.

He came by Mr. Huo's car, and Mr. Huo still arranged for the car to take him home.

Wang Lin thought Mr. Huo would arrange a driver to take him away, but he didn't expect that Miss Huo Qingyao would deliver him personally.
