Chapter 709: 694 Little Ma Arrives in Hong Kong, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu Shows Off in Front of Him: I Don't

"Beep-boop, beep-boop~~~"

An ambulance rushed out of Stanley Prison, heading toward the hospital.

Inside the ambulance, on a stretcher, lay Li Pangzi.

Because Li Pangzi's right leg was stomped on and the injury was too severe, he couldn't get effective treatment at the Stanley Prison infirmary, so he was being sent out of the prison to Mingxin Hospital for treatment.

The nurse accompanying the ambulance asked: "Dr. Chen, which hospital are we going to?"

Their ambulance didn't belong to a hospital, but to the Fire Services Department.

That's right, not the Medical Department, but the Fire Services Department.

This is completely different from the Mainland, where ambulances belong to hospitals or 120 emergency centers, all under the medical system.

In Hong Kong, before July 1, 1953, ambulances belonged to the Medical Department. Afterward, they were transferred to the Fire Services Department.

The doctor said without hesitation: "Mingxin Hospital."

Li Pangzi, who had been injected with anesthesia (to prevent escape), widened his eyes upon hearing Mingxin Hospital.

"Mmm mmm mmm~~~"

No, I don't want to go to Mingxin Hospital.

Isn't this walking into a tiger's den?

The nurse was surprised: "Eh, what's wrong with him?"

The doctor said seriously: "Maybe he thinks going to Mingxin Hospital is good; after all, he's bankrupt now, and Mingxin Hospital is the cheapest."

The nurse suddenly realized: "Makes sense~~"

Soon,

Li Pangzi was sent to the orthopedics department of Mingxin Hospital. The orthopedics department was very busy today. Li Pangzi had already been treated at the Stanley infirmary, so it wasn't an emergency. He waited and waited, for over 3 hours, before it was finally his turn.

And because it was busy, they found a novice doctor to perform his surgery.

The lead doctor: "It's okay, you have to get on the operating table eventually... I'll watch from the side, there won't be any problems..."

Excitement showed in the novice doctor's eyes.

Hahaha~~~

Finally, it's my turn to perform!

Li Pangzi: "Mmm mmm mmm~~~~"

No!

I don't want a novice to operate on me!

As another dose of anesthesia was injected, he fell into a deep sleep.

Before falling asleep, in his despair, tears slid from the corners of his eyes~~~

Soon, he had a dream, dreaming of a different Hong Kong. In that Hong Kong, there was no Five-Star Group, the British Hong Kong government was extremely tough, he was full of spirit, and in 1995 he founded "Apple Daily", which gradually developed into the second-largest newspaper, and then he constantly expressed views on politics, gathering batches of like-minded people... and then, his influence grew larger and larger, even being able to meet with high-ranking officials from Great Britain and the United States...

This dream was beautiful...

But soon his beautiful dream was shattered; he was arrested.

At this moment, he woke up.

"You're awake~~~"

When he opened his eyes, a strong light shone into his pupils, making him subconsciously close them.

After adapting to the strong light, he opened his eyes and saw a nurse looking at him.

"Mr. Li, I have to tell you some unfortunate news. Because your injury was too severe, the surgery result after being sent here was not good (the novice doctor messed up), and your leg might have a certain degree of distortion now..."

"Also, the hospital formally notifies you that you currently owe Mingxin Hospital 300,000 Hong Kong dollars in surgery fees, medical fees, and various other expenses..."

Li Pangzi: "............"

This is a dream, this must be a dream!

I want to wake up, wake up!

Ah ah ah~~~

HSBC was even more collapsed than Li Pangzi.

What?

Li Pangzi's wife fled to the United States? Abandoning Li Pangzi and the debt?

The loan manager felt the sky was falling!

Originally, after being messed with by the Five-Star Bank, HSBC's business was already shrinking. Now they were also cheated out of 3 million!

Soon, the HSBC manager ran to Stanley Prison, applying to see Li Pangzi.

However, Stanley Prison told him that Li Pangzi had been sent to Mingxin Hospital for treatment.

HSBC manager: "............"

He ran quickly to Mingxin Hospital, and then learned a piece of news from Mingxin Hospital — Li Pangzi also owed Mingxin Hospital 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The HSBC manager closed his eyes in despair.

Dead~~

Li Pangzi's affair could only become tea-time gossip in Hong Kong.

Now the most lively thing in Hong Kong was still the investment delegation from Shenzhen.

Under the leadership of the Five-Star Group, they met many wealthy people in Hong Kong.

Then they went on ATV news for interviews, answering questions from Hong Kong citizens regarding Mainland and Shenzhen policies.

Afterward,

The Guangzhou Investment Delegation and Dongguan Investment Delegation arrived in Hong Kong three days later.

They also visited the Xinhua News Agency and the Five-Star Group, then followed the same process: the Five-Star Group took them to meet various bosses in Hong Kong, and then they went on TV.

Two days later, a national-level investment delegation arrived, with a scale of over 200 people, including delegations from various places.

They held an investment conference directly at the Convention and Exhibition Center in Wan Chai...

The entire Hong Kong was lively.

Then the big leader went on an ATV interview to introduce his identity.

Unfortunately, at this time, Hong Kong citizens didn't quite understand the official ranks in the Mainland, quite like: If you are not in politics, seeing me is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; if you are in politics, seeing me is like an ant seeing the blue sky.

At this time,

In the large team of the national investment delegation, some strange people were mixed in.

Little Ma!

Little Ma had always been a social butterfly, and he came to Hong Kong with the Zhejiang delegation.

As soon as Little Ma heard that Zhejiang was also going to Hong Kong, he begged his father to find connections for him, and because he was a social butterfly and quite famous in Hangzhou, he managed to tag along.

In the past week, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's theory of "30 years of the East and America arm-wrestling" had been hotly discussed on major BBS forums in the Mainland.

So today, as soon as Little Ma arrived in Hong Kong, he ran to the Five-Star Group headquarters, which he had long admired.

"Is this the headquarters?"

"So tall!"

Little Ma was envious after seeing it, thinking that if he had money in the future, he would also have such a tall office.

He had a flash of inspiration and ran to the main gate checkpoint, wanting to bluff his way in to take a look.

Unfortunately, his face was too unique, making people unable to help but stare.

"Hey, what's going on with you? Which company are you from?"

The security guard blocked him.

"I am..."

Little Ma started speaking pure English, bluffing for a while. The security guard finally felt that he didn't look like a bad person, so he let him in.

However, he was soon disappointed; he didn't have a door card and couldn't get to the floors of the Five-Star Group at all.

He tried to mix in with the Five-Star Group employees, but his appearance was too unique, leading to vigilant questioning, and finally... he was caught.

Security Department.

It just so happened that Gao Gang was free. By this time, he had replaced Xu Xu Xu Xu Xu Xu Xu Zhengyang and officially became the head of the Security Department.

In the office,

Gao Gang was in a suit, quite leader-like, looking at this guy with a unique appearance. Which big genius sent this spy? Shouldn't a spy have a normal appearance?

"Who are you!"

"My name is Jack Ma..."

"Where are you from..."

"Hangzhou..."

Gao Gang: "???"

He was stunned for a moment,

Then he laughed and scolded: "You're from Hangzhou, why are you speaking English? How did you run here?"

Little Ma heard that Gao Gang's Mandarin actually had a Beijing accent and couldn't help but be curious: "Are you also from the Mainland?"

Gao Gang: "I used to hang out in the Imperial Capital."

Little Ma breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "One of our own, I'm Little Ma. You can just call me Little Ma. I came here actually because..."

Blah blah blah... his social butterfly attribute was unleashed; he was eloquent, saying he came to Hong Kong because he admired the Five-Star Group, and also mentioned that the Five-Star Group was very popular on domestic BBS forums...

Gao Gang became interested after hearing this and asked about the situation on the BBS.

Little Ma naturally wanted to promote himself hard, talking about his ideals and goals...

Such a person with grand ideals easily gained Gao Gang's approval.

Soon the two became friends. It was almost lunchtime,

Gao Gang looked at his watch: "Let's go, I'll treat you to lunch..."

In the afternoon,

Le Le Huizhen dragged Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu to the Five-Star Supermarket in Harbour City for shopping, truly acting spoiled because of her pregnancy.

Then they lingered in the baby product area.

"Boss~~"

"Ms. Le~~~"

The sales staff bowed when they saw Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and Le Le Huizhen. They weren't surprised by their relationship because many Hong Kong citizens had known for a long time. Besides, it was normal for Hong Kong tycoons to have several wives, especially since Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was so handsome, charming, and rich; that he wasn't playing around everywhere already made people think he was a good man.

"Is Ms. Le pregnant?"

"Yes~~"

"Congratulations, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, Ms. Le... are you preparing to learn about things for the baby's birth?"

Then the sales staff started introducing various brands of baby bottles and clothes, knowing them like the back of their hand.

Le Le Huizhen listened with great interest.

Although she said she wanted to focus on her career, she still valued it highly after truly becoming pregnant.

Just then,

At the entrance of the Five-Star Supermarket, many people in administrative jackets walked in.

"Wow~~ Is this the Five-Star Supermarket? So big!"

"It's already equivalent to a large shopping mall."

"Compared to this, supermarkets in the Mainland are too far behind."

These were the investment delegation from the Mainland.

They had long heard that the Five-Star Supermarket under the Five-Star Group was extraordinary, but seeing it now, it was ridiculously large.

In the Mainland, there were also supermarkets.

On April 12, 1981, the first self-service supermarket in Mainland China — Guangzhou Friendship Supermarket — officially opened for business.

Although it only had an area of about 270 square meters and a few rows of shelves, for the Chinese people, it meant a brand-new way of shopping had entered their lives: no longer "paying and receiving goods at the same time," but free and easy, without coupons, without limits, with a rich variety of goods, sufficient quantity, and free selection!

At that time, everyone was very shocked: aren't you afraid of theft?

Guangzhou citizens flocked to experience this new form of shopping without sales clerks.

This brand-new way of shopping soon spread across the country with the spring breeze of reform and opening up.

In 1983, Beijing Jinghua Self-Service Supermarket opened.

In 1985, Hangzhou Jingqing Self-Service Mall opened.

Then it blossomed everywhere...

These supermarkets seemed very trendy in the Mainland.

But compared to the Five-Star Supermarket, they suddenly looked very backward.

The Five-Star Supermarket here in Hong Kong was too big, too bright, too clean, too neat, and too high-end!

"What do you say, how about introducing the Five-Star Supermarket to our city?"

"Eh~~~~"

At the next shelf, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu heard this and had a flash of inspiration: "Hmm??"

These people didn't see Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu behind the shelf and soon went to other parts of the supermarket.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu continued to listen to the sales staff talk about the points of attention for buying maternal and infant products with Le Le Huizhen.

"Some look like big brands, but the quality is actually average..."

"The brand I recommend is..."

Just then, another person walked into the supermarket.

Little Ma.

After eating with Gao Gang, he ran around everywhere again, even taking Gao Gang's business card to act like an acquaintance everywhere.

Now he ran to the Five-Star Supermarket to take a look.

After walking around,

He was attracted by an area.

That was a "Takeout Area".

With the development of the Internet in the past two years, many wealthy families in Hong Kong had computers, and the Five-Star Group developed a takeout webpage. Customers chose goods online and sent orders to the Five-Star Supermarket.

Then the Five-Star Supermarket packed the goods, let employees deliver them, and collected money at the customer's home.

This model was rarely used now; it was just a supplement to the Five-Star Supermarket.

Actually, at this time in the United States, last year, which was 1993, World Wide Web technology was gradually becoming popular. On August 11 of this year, the world's first online shopping website "NetMarket" was born in the United States, marking the start of e-commerce.

Little Ma relied on Gao Gang's business card and curiously ran to ask the staff how this was achieved.

The staff saw that he was "one of our own" and didn't hide anything, introducing it to him.

Little Ma felt like a new world had opened up.

So you could also shop through the Internet.

It was simply too convenient.

This made him unable to help but have a thought: if I opened a website where netizens across the country and the world could buy goods, how great would that be?

This thought appeared a few months earlier than when it originally appeared in 1995.

It is estimated that when Little Ma succeeds and brags in the future, he will no longer brag about the United States, but will brag: "That year, I witnessed the Five-Star Supermarket selling products through the Internet in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong citizens buying goods through the Internet without leaving their homes... blah blah blah~~~"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was listening to the sales staff talk about baby product knowledge with Le Le Huizhen for about half an hour.

Little Ma also stood in the "Takeout Area" for half an hour.

Finally,

Le Le Huizhen felt it was about enough and dragged Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu to shop elsewhere.

Little Ma also saw enough and started to shop elsewhere.

Then they met in the electrical appliance area.

At this moment,

The two looked at each other.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was stunned.

Little Ma was also stunned.

"Who is this? Who is this?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was shocked!

He recognized the young version of Little Ma, but the problem was, shouldn't Little Ma be in Hangzhou?

Little Ma recognized Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, and his eyes turned green.

Being a social butterfly, he didn't retreat but rushed forward, extremely enthusiastic:

"Hi, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan... I'm Little Ma, a friend of Gao Gang!"

He was afraid Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu would ignore him, so he directly sacrificed Gao Gang.

"Hello, Little Ma!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu smiled and shook hands with Little Ma.

Little Ma felt the strength of the handshake and felt flattered.

I shook hands with a billionaire.

"Listening to your accent, you're from the Mainland?"

"Yes, I am... blah blah blah~~~" Little Ma introduced himself.

"How do you know Gao Gang?"

"It's like this, blah blah blah~~~"

"Oh~~~"

Le Le Huizhen wanted to drag Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu away, but was pulled back by Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu. She immediately understood Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's meaning; it seemed Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was interested in this person with an extraordinary appearance.

Could he be a talent?

Next, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and Little Ma chatted a lot.

Little Ma was still a bit familiar with Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, knowing that Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu liked to do good deeds:

"I heard that Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan is very demanding about the quality control of the supermarket, and the prices are also people-friendly. In that case, wouldn't the supermarket have very little profit?"

"Wouldn't you have earned a lot less money?"

Invisible flattery!

"Money?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu laughed out loud.

He looked serious, just like Little Ma's expression back then:

"Actually, I don't care about money."

"I have never touched money, and I am not interested in money."
