: Earthly things are like tide, people are like water

It is actually not difficult to understand this matter. In terms of fundamentals, Hong Kong Island's economy has not undergone any substantial changes. The current situation is actually more caused by man-made things.

There are both the conspiracy of some forces and the worries of ordinary people about the future.

However, in the eyes of some big bosses with broad plans and clear ideas, such turmoil is actually brewing opportunities.

However, such a general trend cannot be reversed by a simple individual. It must rely on another general trend.

As Huang Zhan said, "Earthly things are like tides and people are like water." However, in every tide, there is always water that sinks into the abyss, and there is water that becomes the top of the wave.

It is obvious that Li Qiyan most likely wants to be at the top of this wave.

Or one of several wave tops.

To get help, you have to let others see your attitude clearly, so how to express this attitude also requires opportunities.

As for the issue of ownership of "Chunhua Pavilion", I have to say that this is a pretty good opportunity.

Of course, all this has a premise, that is, Zhou Zhi's speculation is indeed Li Qiyan's idea.

In any case, after this analysis, both Director Wang and Zhou Zhi felt that there was a glimmer of light. At least they no longer had no chips at all when facing the competition between An Siyuan and Anzhai Eiichi.

Early the next morning, Li Lehai drove here again and took Wang Limei and Zhou Zhi to the mountain.

Victoria Peak is actually divided into three districts. The foot of the mountain is the famous Central Ring Road, and there is actually an Upper Ring Road. The mountainside part is called the "Mid-Levels District" and is dotted with some noble residences. The top of the mountain is where wealthy and successful people and foreigners live.

's mansion.

Here you can overlook Hong Kong Island and Victoria Bay. If Victoria Bay is a crown, Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are like the two crown jewels.

In modern terms, this is a place with a unique geographical environment and cultural landscape; in old terms, this is the "dragon vein" of Hong Kong Island, a treasure trove of wind and energy, with excellent Feng Shui.

However, the current trend of land prices in Victoria Bay makes people feel anxious.

The area above the middle of the mountain was similar to a concession during the colonial era, and Chinese and dogs were not allowed to enter.

The first person to live here was named Ho. At that time, the British Hong Kong government wanted to grant him the title of knight, but he refused and asked to live in Taipingshan.

Finally, after a long period of hard work, the British Hong Kong government agreed to his request and still awarded him a knighthood in view of his outstanding contributions.

Since then, Taipingshan has become an area where wealthy Chinese and elites can live.

These stories became garrulous as they were told, but looking at Li Lehai, he believed them deeply.

Thoughtful, I don't think this place was chosen as a noble community because of Feng Shui. The air is fresh. Hong Kong Island is already a hot area, and there are many people in the mountains. You can imagine the sanitary conditions and air quality in the old days.

But it is located in a high port on the bay, with a wide view. The sea breeze and sunshine have the effect of sterilization. In addition, the air is fresh and the population density is low. If you have the conditions to live here, the environment is far more beneficial to people's health than down the mountain.

However, I dare not say this argument out loud, otherwise I will definitely be despised by local superstitious people like Li Lehai.

Li Qiyan's villa has the best location in the entire Taiping Mountains. There are lush green trees outside the villa, and there is a swimming pool and golf putting lane inside.

It is said that this man also has a hobby, which is to let the little stars from Hong Kong come and play golf with him.

But when Zhou Zhi and Director Wang came in today, Li Qiyan was alone, without Xiao Hua, and he was pushing quite seriously.

Hong Kong people are greatly influenced by the British culture and also like horse racing, tennis, golf, sailing and other sports. Among them, horse racing, which is closely related to the gambling industry, is even more popular.

Now some Hong Kong media who are close to the central government have vividly interpreted the policy commitment of "no change for fifty years" as "horses can run and dances can dance", which is known to all women and children.

Li Qiyan has taken good care of himself. He is now wearing a POLO shirt and a peaked cap, gently pushing the club in the morning light of the bay, and he still looks a bit like a star.

As the porcelain ball fell into the hole, Zhou Zhi and Director Wang both applauded softly.

"Here?" Li Qiyan handed the club and gloves to the butler, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands: "Go to my study for a chat first, and then let's drink tea."

Guests and hosts do as they please, and Zhou Zhi and Director Wang are of course obedient.

Li Qiyan's study is very large, with many books and collections. There is also a huge thangka and Tibetan Buddha statue at the entrance. I don't know how many years it is. The mineral paint on it is still bright and eye-catching, and the old

The silk base creates a sharp contrast.

The pattern is very delicate, and coupled with the gilt bronze statue in front, you can tell at a glance that there must be something special about the placement.

If Master Denzin came here, he would definitely be able to tell you something, but Zhou Zhi didn't understand any of this and was just watching the fun.

However, after bypassing the "gateway" composed of thangkas and Buddha statues, the things in the study are thoughtful and considerate.

The paintings and calligraphy on the walls, the porcelain on display, even the shelves for books, and the toys on the table are all high-quality cultural relics.

It can be seen that Li Qiyan is particularly fond of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, especially Zheng Banqiao. The four paintings hanging behind the guest sofa are all of Zheng Banqiao's ink bamboo.

However, one of the Zhou Zhi paintings looks a bit weird, with the bamboo leaves appearing out of the frame, which is something that does not appear in Banqiao bamboo paintings.

Seeing Zhou Zhi's eyes fall on the edge of the painting with incomplete bamboo leaves, Li Qiyan showed a hint of shame: "I'm an expert at it, I can tell it at a glance."

"It was because I was ignorant when I was young. In order to make four Banqiao ink bamboo screens of exactly the same size, I cut off the one that was slightly larger and had some damage on the edges..."

The damage can be repaired, so save yourself the trouble and just cut it off...

However, there is no way to blame Li Qiyan for this matter. His greatest contribution to Chinese culture was to intercept a large number of scattered cultural relics on Hong Kong Island and prevent them from further flowing out. This is a great merit.

Even now, the price of Zheng Banqiao's paintings has just started to rise. At that time, the purchase price of these things was probably not much more than that of scrap paper. Li Qiyan was able to design it carefully, then frame it and hang it. On the contrary, he really liked its performance.

There is a Confucian businessman in Li Qiyan, and his reputation as a scholar and businessman comes from this. There is no reason for this.

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to look away and said with a smile: "Fortunately, it fell into the hands of Mr. Li, so we still have the chance to see you today..."

Li Qiyan waved his hand: "If you are wrong, you are wrong. There is no need to avoid this. I hang them in the study to remind myself all the time."

Zhou Zhi's impression of Li Qiyan is actually not good, but now he has discovered that anyone who has achieved something will naturally have his charm.

Li Qiyan's desk is also very large. On the desk now, there are several pairs of gloves and two piles of old calligraphy.

There are two piles of calligraphy in the form of folded pages, one is very tall and relatively new, and the other is old and has only four volumes.

The size of the calligraphy and calligraphy is like a five-fold large picture album. This is the purpose of this trip. Prince Cheng's "Linchunhua Pavilion Poster" and Bi Shi'an's "Chunhua Pavilion Poster" are ancestral copies.
