Hong Kong Island Old Events

Among the four major foreign banks, only Wheelock, the weakest, made a lot of profits from this incident and took many customers from Chinese bank accounts. It is true that the smaller the goal, the better it is; the smaller the ambition, the more practical it is. The other three foreign banks lost all their money. Many political resources were used unsuccessfully once and would not be used the second time.

One month later.

Liyuan East Street, Chu Mansion.

There was a buffet table in the garden, decorated very festively, with waiters coming and going, carrying trays, and many upper-class Chinese people gathered together, all dressed formally in suits and chatting with each other while holding wine glasses.

Red longevity characters are everywhere, and one of the biggest ones hangs behind the ceremony table.

Chu Weinan stood in front of the microphone with a flower on his chest, raised his glass and said with a smile: "I welcome all my relatives, friends and business colleagues to attend my birthday party. The development of Xingzhou Company cannot be separated from your support."

"I am very happy to be able to gather with you all today, and I am sincerely grateful."

Wang Laoji, Fang Suquan, Chen Lanfang and others all stopped talking and looked at the podium with smiles on their faces. Members of the four major families, including Luo Wenjin, Luo Wenhui, Jian Leqiang, Jian Lewei, Zhou Junnian, Xian Defen, Wu Zhongjing, and Zhou Xinian, were also present with solemn expressions.

There were legislators, justices of the peace, business giants, as well as rising stars and big bosses of the new generation.

Such as Zheng Yutong, Huo Guantai, Xu Shifen and others.

Although these new generation of big bosses are not as powerful as the older generation of big businessmen, their potential has been realized. Each company is as powerful as a tiger, and it is foreseeable that they will have a strong position in the business world in the future.

Jian Leqiang, Zhou Xinian and others did not dare to look down upon them, but they surrounded He Dingxian closely, looking at the old man on the stage with admiration and respect.

Today is Boss Chu’s fiftieth birthday. Boss Chu, who had no interest in celebrating birthdays in the past, specially organized a fifty-year-old birthday party. Firstly, the fiftieth birthday is of great significance, and there is indeed a traditional custom of entertaining guests. Secondly, some things need to be gathered together from the beginning.

Boss Chu would agree to call all the business celebrities, the top Chinese people in Hong Kong, which is obviously not a small matter.

"Crash."

Chu Weinan spoke simply, bowed quickly and left the stage, picked up his wine glass and saluted everyone.

The guests also gave the warmest applause.

The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant.

He Dingxian was wearing a suit, his oily hair was neatly combed, and his posture was straight and very eye-catching. However, he was a real guest at the venue, standing and chatting with Zheng Yutong, Huo Guantai and others. When Chu Weinan brought his family to toast, he also led his youngest son to introduce the guests. Chu Yunnan is already married. She has her hair tied up and is wearing a blue dress. She follows her father to take care of him, but she will not be specially introduced to the guests.

This is not a family relationship, but a formal occasion where the Chu family and the He family must be clearly distinguished. If there is even the slightest hint of overpowering the guests, it will arouse the imagination of outsiders. Is Chu Weinan dying? Is the Chu family going to be swallowed up by the He family?

It was precisely because of his great power that He Dingxian had to pay more attention to avoid being accused of coveting his father-in-law's property. What's more, there is no need to explain their marriage relationship. Chu Weinan's "birth" is actually a kind of protection.

At this time, Chu Weinan brought his children to the young man, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Axian, introduce me to more of your friends."

"Dad, this is Mr. Huo Guantai, the big boss of Huo Xiantang Real Estate." He Dingxian smiled and made an introduction. Huo Guantai quickly bowed lightly and nodded in greeting: "Mr. Chu, you are in good health and everything will go well."

"Thank you very much." Chu Weinan raised his glass, took a sip, and praised: "I often hear Ah Xian mention you. It is said that you used to do a very good job in the maritime connection business. There were many companies and cargo ships. After the war, The first person to abandon ship and land."

"I also wanted to develop the shipping industry before, but unfortunately I was not familiar with the shipping business. So far, I still rent more cargo ships from outsiders."

Huo Guantai said modestly: "Mr. Chu focuses on trade and has extraordinary vision. His family history is still worthy of learning by colleagues in the business world. If he doesn't do shipping, it's just not worth it."

"This is my son Younan, Younan, his name is Uncle Tai."

Chu Younan was already a teenager, with a childish look on his face, and he shouted crisply: "Uncle Tai."

"Ha ha."

Huo Guantai smiled heartily and said happily: "Master Chu is very smart and very cute."

"Brother-in-law."

Younan opened her eyes wide, held her head high and called again.

He Dingxian looked at his cheap brother-in-law. Perhaps it was because he was still young when he met Chen Younan. He was just a blank sheet of paper and had no reason to hate him at all. After eight years of getting along, and watching a little kid grow up, I still feel very close to him.

Although Chu Younan's academic performance is mediocre, and he has a lot of silly, garrulous, and stubborn qualities that a child should have, he has a good nature, is polite, knows how to respect others, and will be a talent when he grows up. After all, as long as he is not a prodigal, the second generation ancestor, the Chu and He families will have many opportunities for him to train and hone himself.

Chu Weinan greeted the other young bosses again, led the children to recognize them, and then left the place with great regret and walked towards the next group of guests. It's not that he wants to gain any benefits among young people, but that young people are full of high spirits and high-spirited. People like it. Chatting is like going back to when they were young. The smell of hard work emerges in everyone, unlike the old people. The bones are thinking about how to hold on to the country and maintain their status.

Most young people feel that they are ordinary and unremarkable, and do not think there is anything special about young people. As everyone knows, young people have unlimited ideas and unlimited futures. The kind of vitality that dares to think about anything and venture into anything is something that no elderly family member can find back.

"Mr. Chu is in really good health. Some people believe him when he says he is in his thirties. He doesn't look like a fifty-year-old at all." Zheng Yutong marveled as he held the wine glass. He Dingxian glanced at him and said speechlessly: "You are not afraid of being struck by lightning if you tell lies. My old father-in-law is indeed in good health, but the wrinkles on his face look like he is only in his thirties?"

Zheng Yutong said with a naive smile: "You have to respect the elderly."

He Dingxian smiled: "He often goes to the farmland in the New Territories to plant rice, and sometimes goes back to factories in the mainland to raise pigs. He is much more capable than a fat guy like you. If you want to lose weight, you can really go to him."

Zheng Yutong felt the insult, puffed up his belly, and snorted: "Say it again?"

"alright."

Huo Guantai smoothed things over and said, "Be careful A-Xian catches you in."

At this time, Chu Weinan and the talkers from the four major families had walked into the villa hall and sat down to drink tea. The eyes of many business bosses followed the four major families. Although, the fact that they were invited to Boss Chu's dinner proved that they had a high status in the business world and did not need to rely on the eyes of the four major families. But everyone looked around and found that a named person from the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce had arrived. We were not fools, and they more or less guessed that President Chu would definitely have something to discuss.

If the four major families decide on something and the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce nods, it can be implemented without any resistance in the business community. The bosses present also wanted to know the news in advance so as to make the best response.

"Mr. He."

"The master wants you to come in and have a cup of tea." Haibo, the Chu Mansion's housekeeper, came to the crowd, bowed his head and respectfully asked. He Dingxian nodded to him, turned around and smiled at Huo Guantai and others: "Sorry, I'm going in for tea."

"You guys stand and drink first. I'll ask you to come in together when I get the chance."

Huo Guantai, Zheng Yutong, Bao Yugang, and Xu Shifen all watched him leave.

living room.

Under a chandelier.

Members of the four major families were standing or standing. Some were smoking cigars, while others were holding teacups. Luo Wenjin and Xian Defen had relaxed expressions, while Jian Leqiang and Zhou Xinian had serious expressions.

"Axian, you are here."

Chu Weinan was sitting on the sofa in the main seat. When he saw his son-in-law walking into the living room, he waved quickly: "Thank you to the elders for supporting Guangdong Trust Bank during the financial war and avoiding a lot of losses for them. I want to make a special trip to say thank you." .”

He Dingxian sat down next to Chu Weinan. He felt that the atmosphere was very serious. There must have been a debate just now.

"Mr. He, thank you."

Zhou Xinian wore glasses, bowed slightly, and had an excellent attitude.

"Isn't it?"

He Dingxian took the teacup handed over by his father-in-law and said exaggeratedly: "How many uncles are you so polite to me? In front of the ghost, the yellow-skinned Chinese are all one and the same. Whatever can be done will be done, and the trust of Guangdong Province is in the hands of our own people. I guarantee you won’t lose money.”

The four major families have actually acquired part of the equity of Guangdong Trust. On the one hand, they want to provide operating funds for Guangdong Trust to restart operations and hold the family assets. Second, they want to have in-depth control of the trust, check the accounts, and avoid bank funding problems.

"You still have to thank me."

Luo Wenjin stood up and said: "The four major families are also relying on your help this time. The ghost guy wants to eat people, but it doesn't depend on your identity."

Although Luo Wenjin and others are members, gentlemen, and knights, as long as funds are transferred in the market, there is always the risk of being eaten by ghosts.

"In addition, you fought a great battle for the Chinese capital. The uncles have something that they can't agree on now and want your help in making a decision." Chu Weinan said from the side: "Sir Da Luo and Senator Ronaldinho, Sir Xian hopes to fight back."

"Sir Zhou, Councilor Le, and Mr. Wu hope to pass legislation to standardize bank supervision to ensure the safety of Chinese finance."

"Which method do you think is better?"

He Dingxian smiled and said: "They are all pretty good."

Zhou Xinian's expression was surprised. He didn't expect that his character would be so merciful. He Dingxian continued: "Can't we take a two-pronged approach, both to fight against ghosts and to legislate to protect the financial industry?"

Luo Wenhui raised her eyebrows: "Axian, if both parties use their efforts, political resources will be dispersed, and the effect will not be good."

"Arrange the steps to defeat the ghost guy first, so that the ghost guy can also lose money in the financial industry. Will it be smoother to legislate to protect the financial industry?" He Dingxian said: "In a different way of thinking, we are not legislating to protect ourselves, but It’s about legislating to protect them.”
