The Industrial Giant Reborn

As the biggest diamond king in Hong Kong and even the world, Chen Zhiwen can be said to be the best son-in-law for all girls in Hong Kong. Over the years, various media have spread the news that Chen Zhiwen has an official girlfriend, such as a member of a wealthy Hong Kong family. A lady, or a certain Hong Kong sister, or even some of TVB's popular actresses have been hyped, and the news is based on rumors. No one knows whether it is true or false, but people in the industry also know that those who spread rumors will generally be miserable later, but There are still people who are mean and insist on causing trouble for themselves.

But no matter how much news spread before, they were all about the topic of "boyfriends and boyfriends" and never touched on such a major event as marriage. As the news spread more and more widely, no one was dealt with, which suddenly made many people understand Yes, this may be true.

Of course, these are only for ordinary people. Hong Kong's wealthy families, or some people with higher status, have also received wedding invitations from Chen Zhiwen.

"Unexpectedly, Chen Zhiwen is actually going to marry Liu Xiaoli." In the Xinhua News Agency, President Shen said with some surprise. In fact, everyone in Hong Kong's upper class society also knew that a mainland woman next to Chen Zhiwen had a close relationship with him, but this It is also a private matter, and it is not convenient for anyone to go and ask. The mainland also knows Liu Xiaoli’s identity, but they have not gone to Liu’s house because it would be very bad if Chen Zhiwen knew about it, especially if the other party has a large amount of investment in the country. Down.

But no one knows whether this will happen in the end. After all, there are too many people who want to marry into the Chen family. Based on Chen Zhiwen's conditions, it is estimated that European and American consortiums would mind sending their own female members, but in the end, it actually happened. It’s done.

"Haha, this is also a good thing. Chen Zhiwen is closer to us in the mainland." Vice President Lin on the side said with a smile.

"It's not that easy. You're thinking too well." President Shen shook his head and said: "Hong Kong's wealthy families still prefer ancient culture. Women generally stay at home to support their husbands and raise children, and it is impossible to get involved in business. What do you think? I know that too, but it shouldn’t be possible.”

"Yes, but it is better to have this thing than nothing." Vice President Lin said.

"I can only look at it this way. The wedding is only half a month away, and time is a bit tight. I have to report to the mainland. Chen Zhiwen is getting married, and the mainland officials have to send some gifts no matter what." President Shen said.

"Yes, it's so sudden. It's probably a little hard to decide what gift to give." Vice President Lin said with a frown.

Not only the Mainland, the two of them were also on the wedding invitation list. After receiving the invitation, they also wanted to give some gifts. With Chen Zhiwen's worth, there was no point in giving something valuable, but he still had to give something with special meaning.

"We don't have to worry about what the higher ups do. We can just report it. How about we two find some antiques from the mainland?" President Shen asked hesitantly.

"There are indeed many rich people in Hong Kong who like antiques, but I haven't heard that Chen Zhiwen likes them?" Vice President Lin said.

"If you don't like it, you won't hate it, right? Let's find some ancient calligraphy and paintings. It should be okay." President Shen said.

"That's right, then leave this matter to me. I know the comrades from the Shanghai Municipal Cultural Bureau. It should be no problem to buy two pairs with foreign exchange." Vice President Lin nodded and said.

Antiques are still valuable in Hong Kong, but in the Mainland, they are not very useful. In the past few years, in order to obtain foreign exchange, some non-royal or significant antiques were sold to external parties, which was tacitly accepted, but this opening has opened After that, a lot of things that should not have been sold also flowed out. So, restrictions began last year, but they are not completely prohibited. Therefore, it can also be purchased through legal and formal means using foreign exchange, but if It may be a bit difficult when it comes to the calligraphy and painting of some very famous celebrities.

"Okay, let's do this for now." President Shen said.

"Okay, I'm going to make a call right now." After Vice President Lin said that, he went out.

"Chen Zhiwen's marriage seems a bit urgent." President Shen said to himself. He thought of a possibility, but there was no evidence, so there was no need to think too much about it. It had nothing to do with him anyway.

Invitations were also received, in addition to relatives on both sides, there were also many wealthy families in Hong Kong, including the owners of more than a dozen real estate companies that cooperate with Chen Zhiwen's companies, and some larger suppliers that provide parts for Midea or Red Bull. , or some political celebrities in Hong Kong, and outside Hong Kong, there are also people who have cooperative relationships. In addition, there are senior executives of all companies.

It seems to be a lot, but for Hong Kong's wealthy families, it is nothing. It can be regarded as a medium-sized wedding. For example, when the Huo family won Miss Hong Kong's wedding of the century, almost all the Hong Kong media and everyone on Miss Hong Kong's side were invited. Colleagues, friends, it can be said that half of TVB people are here.

Chen Zhiwen was not so exaggerated this time. The media industry only invited a small number, and TVB only came with a few people. The Huo family needed a strong wedding to introduce the second generation successor of the Huo family to the entire Hong Kong, but the Chen family did not need it.

The wedding venue was naturally arranged at his own Mandarin Oriental Hotel. After the Land was acquired, Chen Zhiwen also became the owner of this hotel, which can be regarded as filling the vacancy after the previous Hilton Hotel was demolished.

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel was once a hotel under Landmark, and its level of luxury was even greater than that of Hilton. It has the largest banquet hall in Hong Kong. From inside the banquet hall, you can also see half of Hong Kong Island.

After learning that the big boss was going to hold a wedding here, the entire Cultural Oriental Hotel was fully prepared and found the largest wedding company in Hong Kong. They worked day and night to prepare the wedding site, purchase various materials, and also needed to convince many people who had already made reservations. Customers have to accept three times the compensation to check out, or transfer to other hotels. Everyone is very busy.

However, Chen Zhiwen didn't pay attention here, because he needed to take wedding photos, which was okay. Liu Xiaoli didn't have any stomach at the moment. She just took some photos, so there was no problem at all.

The shooting locations were chosen after many choices, and were finally settled on Hong Kong, Liu Xiaoli’s hometown of Hankou, and the Deep Sea University of Science and Technology where they first met. For future honeymoons, they can go anywhere, but wedding photos still need some special touches. A place of meaning.

The local government in the mainland also knew that Chen Zhiwen and others were here to take wedding photos, so naturally they would not come to discuss business without interest at this time. Both cities sent city leaders to give their blessings, and then they did not disturb them.

It took 7 days for the two to finally take wedding photos, but the main time was still in Hankou City. No matter how high Chen Zhiwen's status was, he still had to go to the Liu family as his son-in-law. Naturally, he also gave a lot of gifts. Fortunately, at present There is almost no such thing as betrothal gifts in the mainland, which makes Chen Zhiwen feel more comfortable.

It didn't matter to him no matter how much money he paid as a bride price, but he just felt uncomfortable. It was very reasonable for this thing to exist in ancient times, because when ancient people married their daughters, they might never return to their parents' home, or they were very I rarely go back to it, but this is not the case in modern times. Especially decades later, the style of work in some places makes people speechless.

The time soon came to September 16th, the wedding day.

A total of more than 600 guests from Hong Kong and all over the world gathered at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. This number is not very large, but they are all very influential at least in Asia, especially the Chinese group, almost Representing more than half of the world's size, such a business group, if it is a business visit, will definitely be received by the highest level in any country they go to.

Although there were not many people, it was just because the Chen family felt that there was no need to invite some people with whom they were not closely connected. However, as the most wealthy family in Hong Kong, spending money on weddings was naturally indispensable.

On the 88-table wedding table, all the white wines come from Hennessy XO brandy and several high-end white wines imported from the mainland. The red wines are also the most popular 82-year-old Lafite on the market. Henry Morgan was entrusted to purchase these. We sent a plane directly to bring them back to Hong Kong.

The cost per table is HKD 6,666, and the food comes from all over the world. The Mandarin Oriental Hotel also specially invited dozens of senior chefs from all over the world to satisfy the large number of guests in terms of taste.

Chen Zhiwen's suit is much simpler. It was made by a private tailor from Armani in Italy. Liu Xiaoli's wedding dress is the most proud work of French wedding dress design master Susan Lawrence. The wedding dress sells for up to 500,000. The US dollar has 3600 different large diamond crystals on the surface. Under the special light, it will show a very beautiful halo and shine.

"So beautiful, even prettier than the Hong Kong sisters!" When Liu Xiaoli walked into the wedding scene wearing a wedding dress, a white transparent gauze scarf, and a blue dove egg gem around her neck, everyone stood up. Some people started discussing in low voices.

"Isn't this nonsense? If you are not beautiful, can you marry into a rich family?" An older reporter rolled his eyes and said: "Rich people want wives. Some people like people who are knowledgeable and reasonable, and some people like people who have an open personality." , some people like people with artistic talent, some people like people with high academic qualifications and strong abilities, and some people choose a well-matched person, or another strong business woman, but in all cases, the premise is that you must be beautiful, not beautiful, and you have other abilities. It's useless no matter how strong you are.

This is the premise, but there are many beautiful people. Whether you can successfully marry into a rich family depends on luck. If you are lucky enough to meet a rich man who likes your personality, you may become a successful candidate. "

"That makes sense. Among the Hong Kong sisters, only Lingling Zhu married into a wealthy family. The others, no matter how beautiful they are, have not succeeded. It's such a pity." The young apprentice sighed.

"Is it none of your business? You make 1,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, and you still think about being a Hong Kong girl? Rich people don't like me, and they don't like you either. Don't be stupid." The old master said with a smile: "When you get rich, maybe I don’t like them anymore, everyone is like this. Hurry up and get to work, we have to take the photos at today’s conference, and the fees provided by the Chen family are not low!”

"Okay." The apprentice agreed.

"In addition, please do not take photos and negatives out without permission. If the wedding photos are leaked, everyone will be in trouble today. If it is found out who did it, they will no longer be able to live in Hong Kong." Master He said seriously again.

A group of them were invited to take pictures for the Chen family. After all, it was a big wedding and it was of great significance. Rich people didn't care about film, so they invited many photography experts to help and paid them a favor.

But for the wedding of the richest man in Hong Kong, many reporters outside, and even many media from abroad, also wanted to get first-hand information or photos. However, this wedding of the Chen family is different from the previous wedding of the Huo family. It was completely private and was not allowed. Leaked photos.

If such a thing was really done, there would be no need for the Chen family to take action. I don’t know how many people would be willing to do things for the Chen family.

"I understand, don't worry, I'm not stupid." The apprentice nodded and said, "The wedding will start soon."

"Okay, prepare to take pictures, choose the focus, and take pictures of more guests." After the master finished speaking, he started to get busy.

On the stage, Liu Xiaoli, led by her father, came to Chen Zhiwen's side. At this moment, a total of six people from the Chen family and the Liu family formed a row at the request of the master of ceremonies.

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the wedding of Mr. Chen Zhiwen and Ms. Liu Xiaoli. It is a great honor to be able to hold it for these two people today..."

The emcee performed his unique skills with all his strength on it, trying to make the wedding scene interesting in a humorous way.

This has actually been rehearsed before, and the six people on stage can just do it again with familiarity.

…

After 15 minutes, the activities on the stage were over, and the guests in the audience could start using their chopsticks. This was also arranged by Chen Zhiwen. A normal wedding banquet would always make the guests wait too long, and many people would be really hungry.

After a while, the bride changed her clothes, took off her wedding dress, and put on a bright red traditional wedding dress. This was also Liu Xiaoli's request. The current mainland culture is still a bit biased towards ancient times. For example, many people still like to wear Chinese tunic suits.

The bride and groom and their parents go to each wine table to toast. No matter what the status of the visitor is, the visitor is a guest. This is the truth.

Everyone is also very polite. No one will ignorantly let the Chen family drink unless they want to drink.

"President Shen, thank you very much for coming to my wedding." After arriving at the table where Xinhua News Agency was located, Chen Zhiwen said with a smile and a toast.

"Mr. Chen, you're welcome. We from the mainland are naturally happy to come to Mr. Chen's wedding," President Shen said with a smile.

Because Chen Zhiwen asked for a simple wedding, he only invited people he knew. Otherwise, a heavyweight from the mainland would definitely be sent over, but this just avoided the current sensitive time.

"Well, thank you very much for the gift from the Mainland. I like it very much." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile again.

Xinhua News Agency sent two pieces of ancient calligraphy and painting. Chen Zhiwen didn't pay much attention to it. The gift representing the mainland was a calligraphy written by the leader himself: "A happy marriage will last a hundred years, and a precious son will be born soon!"

This is much more meaningful than an antique. It is not easy to get the words of a big leader, especially if it is given to others. It is even rarer. Although it is not necessary to enter a museum because it is relatively recent, it is not possible. Money can buy it.

"Haha, as long as Mr. Chen likes it, I also need to tell you something. If Mr. Chen is free, you can go to Yanjing often." President Shen said with a smile.

"Definitely." Chen Zhiwen nodded. He has been busy with marriage matters during this period, and other things have also slowed down a bit, including his subordinates who will not look for him at this time.

After today, there may be a honeymoon, but after that, there are still some important things. (End of chapter)
