Chapter nine hundred and sixty-eight of the battle between swords and guns
A black car is speeding on the road.
The atmosphere in the car was a bit dull, and Xue Shan turned on the car radio.
"Meteorological experts predict that Typhoon Guy will pass through tomorrow and the next two days. Affected by the typhoon weather, there will be heavy rainfall in the next week. The general public is requested to pay attention to travel safety."
On the radio, the female announcer's voice came out.
"No wonder my eyelids keep twitching and I always feel like something is going to happen. It turns out that a typhoon is coming."
Xue Shan put his hands on the steering wheel and muttered.
"The left eye is for wealth, the right eye is for disaster. Whichever eyelid you have is twitching, maybe you want to get rich, maybe."
Jiang Hua leaned lazily on the back of his chair.
He was still recalling the details of his dealings with Mrs. Guo. This modern Cixi was far less high-profile than Li Bancheng in later media, but if he despised her because of this, he would definitely suffer a big loss.
"My eyelids are twitching. Am I going to get rich or am I going to be unlucky?"
Xue Shan looked unhappy.
At first, his left eyelid twitched, and after the left eye twitched, his right eye twitched again, which made him feel a little restless while driving.
"I'm not a fortune teller, so it's useless for you to ask me."
Jiang Hua rolled his eyes.
The car happened to drive past the Li Group's building. I don't know what happened there. There was a circle of people in front of the building.
"Mr. Jiang, do you want to stop the car and go have a look?"
Xue Shan glanced out the car window and asked.
"Don't join in the fun, this place has bad feng shui."
Jiang Hua said calmly.
"You said before that you are a staunch materialist and don't believe in Feng Shui."
Xue Shan was particularly speechless.
He felt that as a boss, he was good at everything, but his mouth was really capable of talking nonsense. He was always talking right and wrong, and whatever he said made sense.
"Don't you have eyes? Look up. Do you see the two cannons on the building opposite?"
Jiang Hua was talking about the two cannons mounted on the top floor of the HSBC building opposite the Lee Group.
"Is there really a cannon?"
Xue Shan originally thought Jiang Hua was joking, but when he looked up, he actually saw two dark cannons. Unfortunately, they were a little far away and couldn't tell the truth from the fake ones.
He was wondering why there was such a thing in the city center, and it was so good that it happened to be opposite the Li Group's building.
"Look to the left and see the building opposite. What does it look like?"
Jiang Hua pointed to the Bank of China Building on the other side of the Lee Group.
These three buildings are placed side by side, and the Li Group's building is obviously much shorter.
"Like a sharp machete."
Xue Shan felt a little chilled when he saw the sharp-edged design of the Bank of China Building.
The Lee Group Building is located between two tall buildings, and because it is much shorter, it looks less impressive.
Now on the left is the sharp "knife edge" of the Bank of China Building, and on the right is the giant human cannon mounted on the HSBC Building. Even Xue Shan, who doesn't understand Feng Shui, can see that the Lee Group's building does not have good Feng Shui.
"Do these two families have any grudge against the Li family?"
Xue Shan endured it again and again. He couldn't help but be curious and asked in confusion.
He had heard from Jiang Hua before that the Li family and HSBC had a close relationship. Looking at the design of this building, the two families really didn't look like good friends.
"You don't understand this. There is a story in it."
Jiang Hua smiled and talked about the origins of these three buildings.
People in Xiangjiang believe in Feng Shui, not just by talking about it, but by taking practical actions.
The Bank of China Tower was built in the 1980s. It was the tallest building in Hong Kong at that time. The designer designed the building with sharp edges and corners, just like the competitor HSBC Bank building.
At that time, a Feng Shui master said that this was a sharp machete aimed at HSBC!
In order to resolve this feng shui bureau with sinister intentions, HSBC's senior management consulted Mr. Chen, the most famous feng shui master in Hong Kong at that time. Mr. Chen gave HSBC an idea and said that if you put two cannons on the roof of the building, you could resolve this feng shui evil.
The top management of HSBC felt as if they had found a treasure. They happily built two human cannons on the roof of the building. They listened to the advice of the Feng Shui master and the muzzles of the cannons were facing the Bank of China Building.
This Feng Shui layout is called "Battle of Swords and Cannons" by Feng Shui masters in Xiangjiang.
Bank of China and HSBC are fighting each other, but the Lee Group, which is in the middle of the two companies, is dumbfounded. Because the building of their Lee Group Building was built earlier, the height of the building is not as high as that of HSBC and Bank of China.
He was short and slender, and looked very unimpressive. As a result, the two families were acting like this, making him feel even more uncomfortable.
After some careful consideration and consultation with a famous Feng Shui master, Li Bancheng finally came up with a solution.
He took over several surrounding pieces of land and prepared to rebuild the Lee Group Building and build the tallest building in Hong Kong, which will be the future famous CK Hutchison Industrial Center.
He designed the length and center into a square shield shape. According to Feng Shui masters, this can resolve the Feng Shui situation where the sword is on the left and the cannon on the right.
Of course, now that Jiang Hua has interfered with it, the Changhe Center must be stillborn, and Li Bancheng will definitely not have the chance to build it.
After listening to Jiang Hua's story, Xue Shan remained silent for a long time. He had an idea in his mind: Xiangjiang people are really good at playing, and they can do so many tricks when building a building.
"Mr. Jiang, where are we going now?"
Xue Shan asked angrily.
"I went to Yuanmao Real Estate and visited Xiangjiang several times. Apart from the Guo family, the only ones who have the strength to take over Li Bancheng's business are Yuanmao Real Estate."
Jiang Hua leaned on the back of the car seat and said with squinted eyes.
Gong Ruping, the current chairman of Yuanmao Real Estate, was once known as the richest woman in Asia-Pacific. However, after experiencing two kidnapping cases, this richest woman lived in seclusion and kept a low profile, which allowed Li Bancheng to take over from behind.
There is no navigation system these days, so there is no need to go to Yuanmao Real Estate. On a tall building not far away, there are two big words "Yuanmao" that can be seen from a distance.
"Mr. Jiang, we have never had any dealings with Yuanmao, why do we just come to visit him so rashly?"
Xue Shan asked worriedly.
"Once we are familiar with each other, we will become familiar again. If we meet a few times, we will become acquaintances."
Jiang Hua said nonchalantly.
There is no word "stranger" in his dictionary. He is familiar with everyone wherever he goes and can make friends with anyone.
It was a coincidence that Jiang Hua's car had just stopped at the entrance of Yuanmao Building, and he happened to see Gong Ruping, cheering in front and behind, leading a group of subordinates out of the building.
The former richest woman is in her fifties and has an ordinary appearance. She is dressed in a pink girl's outfit with two braids on her head, which is particularly inappropriate.
"Mr. Jiang, this Mr. Gong, is there a problem here?"
Xue Shan grinned, looked at Gong Ruping who was being hugged from behind, and pointed at his brain.
Mr. Gong is in his fifties, old enough to be a grandmother. She only wears pink girlish clothes. The two braids on her head look awkward.
"Feng shui masters can harm people. Didn't you see the goldfish-eyed man next to her? This is the most famous man in Hong Kong, Feng Shui Chen."
Jiang Hua was reborn from the future of information explosion and knew many secrets that outsiders did not know in this era.
