Chapter 58

Wang Zhong ignored the sounds outside, as the design of the HSBC building had consumed too much of his energy.

Moreover, Wang Zhong never paid attention to advertisements; he only cared about results!

The performance of HSBC would make these people shut up!

The main building of the HSBC tower was shaped like a giant armchair, complemented by the太平山 (Taiping Mountain) behind it, forming a four-element pattern with Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

Since he was already the second-largest shareholder of HSBC, he put even more effort into the design.

Even the park in front of the building was designed with great ingenuity. The Queen's Statue Park was named by Wang Zhong, with a large number of trees and vegetation planted to neutralize negative energy, and complete recreational facilities were built to attract people from the surrounding area.

At the center of the park, a bronze statue of Queen Elizabeth I, the most prosperous period of Britain, was erected. The bronze horse leaped high, with Queen Elizabeth I sitting on its back, drawing her sword and pointing it across the water, looking very heroic.

Because of this bronze equestrian statue, Hong Kong citizens affectionately called it the Queen's Park!

The bronze statue was exquisitely crafted, with even the folds of the clothing and expressions clearly visible, its artistic value not inferior to the statue in the museum. Many tourists liked to take photos under the statue, which became a landmark in Central, but few knew that this statue was actually a feng shui object, or even a magical artifact.

Wang Zhong's design considered several aspects:

First, the bronze statue of Queen Elizabeth I, with her sword pointing across the water, could block the oncoming negative energy, having the effect of warding off evil.

Second, the park had a huge flow of people, even at night, it was a good place for citizens to relax. The large number of people made the park turn from yin to yang. The bronze statue of the deceased Queen Elizabeth I had strong yin energy, fitting the feng shui concept of yang containing yin.

Third, weapons are instruments of death. Although the statue of the queen holding a sword was heroic, it was full of negative energy. It was a rare feng shui object, like a nail, pinning down the dragon vein of Central. It is known that the dragon vein is a living thing, and without the feng shui object to suppress it, the dragon vein would move.

Fourth, the statue of Queen Elizabeth I standing in front of the HSBC building symbolized the queen leading the fight. Queen Elizabeth I was revered in the hearts of the British people as invincible. Under her leadership, there would surely be one victory after another. Many people in later generations liked to place statues of the founding father, perhaps for similar reasons.

Fifth, the bronze horse leaping over the sea harmonized with the grand feng shui pattern of the Heavenly Horse leaping over the sea. It could replace the golden horse on the roof of the City Hall, which Wang Zhong had collected.

The golden horse on the roof of the City Hall, due to a widely spread legend and the feng shui pattern of the Heavenly Horse leaping over the sea, had become a very good magical artifact over time.

As the second-largest shareholder of HSBC, Wang Zhong and Charles Chen had a simple discussion and then took possession of the golden horse.

The Hong Kong Governor highly praised HSBC's construction of the equestrian statue of Queen Elizabeth I in the Cheung Chau Park and reported it to London.

Queen Elizabeth I was deeply moved by the Hong Kong people's creation of a statue for the deceased queen, and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher saw it as a rare opportunity for publicity. After a discussion by the think tank, Queen Elizabeth I decided to personally inaugurate the Cheung Chau Park.

At the suggestion of the Queen and the Prime Minister, the Hong Kong government took the initiative to undertake all the recreational facilities in the Cheung Chau Park.

The government also announced that all financial funds would be managed by HSBC, and the British Royal Family used this method to show goodwill to HSBC and Wang Zhong.

This was unexpected by everyone.

The stock of HSBC in Hong Kong was stimulated by a series of good news and closed at the limit on the trading day.

Wang Zhong's 35% stake gained 5 million Hong Kong dollars in one day!

But Wang Zhong did not cash out; instead, he continued to acquire scattered stocks in the market. Because the future of HSBC was not limited to this!

"Boss, Mr. Li from the Cheung Kong Group sent 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and Rossa performed brilliantly at the racecourse. Many tycoons have ordered purebred Rossa horses, and this 5 million is the first phase of profit!"

Mary came in with a 5 million Hong Kong dollar check, speaking excitedly.

"Boss, you don't know, Rossa has a very high reputation for winning. Many bookmakers have opened betting lines!"

"Do you like gambling?"

Wang Zhong asked, somewhat surprised.

"Not often!"

Mary said, a bit embarrassed.

"Just occasionally, occasionally!"

"Boss, you don't know how amazing Rossa is, he's the king of the track!"

Mary looked at Wang Zhong, speaking excitedly.

"Don't gamble, nine out of ten gamblers lose, be careful not to end up bankrupt!"

Wang Zhong, seeing Mary's excited look, wanted to warn her.

"It's fine, boss, I only bet small. I know the principle that small bets are for fun, and big bets are harmful!"

Mary stuck out her tongue and said with a smile.

Seeing Mary's unconcerned look, Wang Zhong shook his head helplessly.

"Big bets always start from small bets!"

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside.

A man with a pale face, looking anxious and frightened, burst in.

"Sir, do you have an appointment?"

Mary stepped forward to block him, politely asking.

"Miss, please let me hide here, someone is trying to kill me!"

The man, seeing Mary, seemed to have found a lifeline, pleading desperately.

"This..."

Mary looked at him, somewhat troubled. The security situation in Hong Kong in the 1980s was not good, with frequent gang fights and street killings.

"Mary, go out and close the door, I'll talk to this gentleman!"

Wang Zhong smiled confidently, easing the tension of both Mary and the man.

Although his appearance had changed significantly, Wang Zhong immediately recognized the man as Wu Mengda, known as the "Golden Supporting Actor."

He and Stephen Chow created one comedy after another, and Wu Mengda's contribution to Stephen Chow's success was indispensable!

However, few people knew that in his youth, Wu Mengda was once very popular but became addicted to gambling, which ultimately ended his career and left him with no chance of becoming a top star!

His gambling addiction also led to a poor marriage, with multiple families and children, and he had to work hard to pay high family support fees, even leading to a recurrence of heart disease in his old age.

Wang Zhong gestured for Mary to go out and block the gang members, and he personally got up to pour a glass of water for Wu Mengda.

"Don't worry, it's safe here!"

"Boss, that gambler has entered this room!"

Outside the studio, several gang members with dyed hair, holding knives and sticks, one of them pointed at the door of Wang Zhong's studio.

"Damn, he ran pretty fast!"

The gang leader, out of breath from running, cursed.

"Search the place!"

"Yes, boss!"

The door of Wang Zhong's studio suddenly opened, and Mary, like a proud little peacock, walked out with her head held high.

"This is a private place, please leave!"

"Damn, bitch, do you know who you're talking to? Open your eyes and look, this is Big Brother Hao from the Hung Hing!"

A gang member, with a fierce look, pointed at Mary and said viciously.

"Do you believe we'll first rape and then kill you?"

Big Brother Hao looked at Mary arrogantly, thinking, this girl is so pretty, I should find a chance to play with her!

Suddenly, he looked at a calligraphy hanging on the wall with fear, rubbed his eyes hard, and confirmed he wasn't mistaken.

Big Brother Hao's arrogance disappeared, leaving only fear, regret, and bitterness!

Hong Kong Martial God!

Jin Tang's inscription!

These seven words were like seven sharp knives, piercing Big Brother Hao's heart. His breathing became heavy, and he felt suffocated.

The gang member was still shouting, but the face that used to seem clever and likable now looked particularly hideous and hateful to Big Brother Hao.

Slap!

The gang member's back of the head was hit hard by Big Brother Hao.

"First rape and then kill, go to hell!"

"I'll rape you first tonight!"

"Miss, this brother doesn't know how to speak, don't mind. We'll leave right away!"

Big Brother Hao beat the gang member and looked at Mary with fear and flattery.

"Wang Sheng likes peace and quiet!"

Mary nodded, warning him with a glance, and returned to the front desk.

"Yes, yes, yes, we'll leave right away!"

Big Brother Hao nodded like a chicken pecking.

"Big Brother Hao, you hit him hard!"

Leaving Wang Zhong's feng shui and destiny studio, the gang member rubbed his head, complaining.

"Did you fancy that girl? But to be honest, she's really pretty, prettier than movie stars!"

Slap!

The gang member was hit hard again.

"You damn fool, if you don't study well, if you don't study well. You don't even recognize the Hong Kong Martial God, you're asking for trouble!"

Big Brother Hao burst out, and his slaps fell like rain.

"If you want to ask for trouble, don't drag me along. Is the woman of the Martial God Wang Sheng something I can think about?"

"Turns out that was the studio of the young Martial God Wang Zhong!"

The gang member looked at the building with fear, wishing he had more legs to run away from this terrifying place.

The gang members looked at Big Brother Hao gratefully and then pounced on the talkative gang member.
