    The whole matter is not difficult to guess, Wang Yaocheng has been to Hong Kong twice in total, he knows very few people here, and he has no deep-seated hatred with ordinary people.

    ? As far away as Yuen Lang, the young and Dangerous boy with the prefix of 14k German came across the sea, and someone must have instigated it, or paid for it.

    After a closer look, the only thing that offended the Swire Group was the Pacific Plaza project. This is a large project involving 1.8 billion US dollars. Some people have unbalanced revenge in their hearts, which is a reasonable reason.

    Wang Yaocheng even guessed who it was;

    In all likelihood, it is Shi Nabei, a direct descendant of the Shi Huaiya family. That self-proclaimed guy was taught a lesson by himself in Yanjing City. This time, old and new enemies gathered together, and it must be from this person who bought murder and hurt others.

    As for the members of the family, there is a high probability that they don't know about it, otherwise they wouldn't act in such a haste.

    The founder of Swire Group is Swire Swire, an Englishman who came to Pearl City for development in 1866, and later transferred its foundation to Hong Kong. It has been 127 years since the Swire Group family passed down five generations.

    This is a chaebol family rooted in Hong Kong and headquartered in London.

    Swire, Jardine, Hutchison, and Wheelock are listed among the four major foreign firms in Hong Kong. The owners of these four foreign firms are all British, belonging to the Swire family, the Keswick family, the Cide family and the Marden family.

    After the 1970s, Hutchison and Wheelock were acquired by Li Ka-shing and Pao Yukang successively, and Jardine Matheson moved its registration to Bermuda. Only the Swire Group of the Swire family still developed in Hong Kong.

    Swire Group has been operating on Hong Kong Island for a long time, and its tentacles have extended to all aspects of Hong Kong's economy. It is an oligarch with unfathomable strength and background.

    People in the economic circles said; "How big is the huge ancient line? I am afraid that only the direct line of the family can tell clearly."

    ? 27 Lugard Road, The Peak of Victoria Peak

    This is the old house of the Shi Huaiya family. It is located on the top of the beautiful Victoria Peak. Hong Kong people generally call it "The Peak".

    ? Before the 1950s, the entire Victoria Peak villa area was the exclusive property of the British colonial government and British businessmen. They commuted by a dedicated cable car at the top of the mountain. The Hong Kong Island government strictly prohibited Chinese people from going there, let alone living there.

    The Hilltop Villa overlooks Hong Kong and the entire Victoria Harbour. The air is fresh and charming, warm in winter and cool in summer. It is the best place to enjoy the charming night view of Hong Kong.

    ? From the old house at No. 27 Luji Road, follow the tree-lined path to the east. Along the way, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. After a short walk, you will arrive at the Taiping Mountain Observatory. This is a good place for tourism and attracts many tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

    In the villa

    "I'm so mad, they are all a bunch of trash, such a simple thing can't be done well, why don't you die?"

    In a rage, Schnabe grabbed the antique porcelain vase on the table and slammed it on the ground. With a loud bang, the antique vase fell to pieces.

    This silk-wrapped bottle of fish, insects, flowers and birds in the Jiaqing period of Ming Dynasty was bought at a high price of 800,000 Hong Kong dollars at a charity auction, and it disappeared into the long river of history.

    The mature and prudent Mr. Smith shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and winked at the housekeeper Shirley next to him, "Please arrange for someone to clean up these messes to prevent people from being hurt."

    "Okay, sir, the cleaner will be here soon." The housekeeper Shirley took the opportunity to slip away.

    She is not stupid, the young master is angry now, and it is easy to be implicated if he stays here.

    Schnabe walked over angrily, pumping his fists and yelling; "This despicable yellow boy should go to hell, he took my big project by disgraceful means, damn it! That's a ¡ê1.5 billion development project,  I can't spare him."

    "You are too impulsive, young master, your rash actions will disappoint Chairman John Shi."

    "Then what should I do?" Schnabe said angrily; "My face was thrown on the ground and trampled on, and I will become the laughing stock of the Hong Kong business community. The news will soon spread back to London, my God  I can't imagine what kind of tragedy this is?"

    "The boss king is not a simple character. Your actions today will definitely anger him. I hope you calm down."

    "So what? I will fight bravely."

    Mr. Schmidt, President of Swire Properties, looked at the young and vigorous Schnabe and knew that he would not listen to his persuasion.

    As a professional manager who has worked in the Swire Group for 30 years, Mr. Schmidt wisely kept his mouth shut. After all, he was just a senior worker, and he couldn¡¯t help talking about how capricious his boss was.

    Schnabe, a top student at Oxford University, was bornThe Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Lake City shipped the first batch of bottled Coca-Cola to Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai in China for sale the following year.
