220, Engagement Ceremony Hong Kong Celebrities Gather(2/3)
The whole world knows that when the shipping industry entered a cold winter, Dong Haoyun still held a ceremony to launch the ship into the sea with great fanfare, vowing to surpass Bao Yugang and become the real world shipping king.
How could such a person admit that he is inferior to young people?
"Uncle Dong is so humble. Your full container ship business is the first of its kind in Hong Kong. We, the younger generation, should ask you for more advice!"
Dong Haoyun's Orient Overseas was the first pioneer in Hong Kong to enter the container era. In 1969, it even started an all-container business, converting seven old cargo ships into container ships and sailing to the West Coast of North America once a week!
This matter has always been Dong Haoyun's proud work. Now that Chu Huan mentioned it, he also said with great joy: "I didn't expect you, Ah Huan, to know so much about the shipping industry!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "I think even if you don't understand, you can definitely know these things!"
This indirectly explains Dong Haoyun's achievements.
Just when Chu Huan and Dong Haoyun were complimenting each other, Cao Yunzu came over and whispered to Cao Wenjin: "Mr. Bao is here!"
Mr. Bao is naturally Bao Yugang, another shipping king in Xiangjiang.
Although Cao Wenjin is also one of the shipping kings and has a competitive relationship with these people, Cao Wenjin has always been low-key and rarely competes with his peers. He just focuses on the development of his own company, so he and Xiangjiang's
The relationship between several shipping kings has always been very good.
When Dong Haoyun heard that Bao Yu had just arrived, he smiled and said, "I'm going to say hello to some old friends first, and we'll talk later!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Cao Wenjin looked at Dong Haoyun's appearance, smiled and said nothing.
Bao Yugang came over at this time under the guidance of Cao Yunzu.
Looking at the now nominally richest man in Xiangjiang, Chu Huan also smiled.
Why do you say nominal? Because in the minds of the people of Xiangjiang at this time, the real richest man should be Huo Tsar. However, the relationship between Huo Tsar and Gui Lao is not very good, and business has been targeted, so he is very low-key now, but
Being low-key doesn't mean you have no strength.
On the contrary, it is precisely because he is so powerful that he needs to be low-key.
"Brother Bao, you're fine!" Cao Wenjin said to Bao Yugang with a smile.
Among the four great shipping kings, Cao Wenjin is the youngest!
Bao Yugang laughed loudly and said: "It's okay, it's okay. I've often heard the name of Brother Cao, your son-in-law riding a dragon. Today is such a day worth celebrating. I mean I'm going to come over and feel happy!"
Bao Yugang entered the shipping industry when he was in business for 55 years. At that time, Bao Yugang invested US$700,000 to purchase a 27-year-old coal-burning ship with a load capacity of 8,700 tons. He later named the coal-burning ship
As the "Jin'an", by the end of 1956, through mortgage loans, Bao Yugang's Global Shipping already had 7 ships.
At that time, the bank responsible for the loan to Bao Yugang was HSBC, and the person responsible for this matter was Sundas. By 1962, Sundas had become the boss of HSBC, but Sundas had resigned last year and took over.
The first is Sha Ya, and after Sha Ya is Shen Bi.
"Young people have a formidable future, and the operation of acquiring Jiahu Textile is even more amazing!"
Bao Yugang talked to Chu Huan with a smile on his face.
Chu Huan continued to preach modestly: "Uncle Bao is so complimentary. What my nephew has done is far from what you have achieved, Uncle Bao. Uncle Cao has always told me before that if it weren't for Bao
Uncle, you broke Xiangjiang Bank’s rule not to lend money to shipping companies, and now it’s impossible for us to achieve what we have now.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The smile on Bao Yugang's face became brighter and brighter. This matter has always been the thing that Bao Yugang is most proud of.
"Brother Cao, I regret it now. Why did your Cao family discover such an outstanding young man first? I have four daughters!"
Bao Yugang had no children in his life and only had four daughters. The eldest daughter married the Austrian lawyer Helmut Sockman in 1969, who was later Su Haiwen.
This year his second daughter will also marry Wu Guangzheng, a classmate from Xiangjiang whom he met in New York. Wu Guangzheng later inherited most of Bao Yugang's property.
However, after Wu Guangzheng returned to Hong Kong this year, he did not join Bao Yugang's Global Shipping Company immediately. Instead, he first went to work for Chase Bank of North America in Hong Kong and would not join Global Shipping until 1975.
The future husband of the third daughter was Japanese architect Shinichiro Watari, and the two later settled in New York.
The fourth daughter will marry Zheng Weijian, a Chinese-American cancer expert in the future, and will also settle in North America!
Cao Wenjin laughed and said: "Brother, you can't envy this kind of thing!"
The two joked about it, and Bao Yugang also went to chat with his friends, while Chu Huan continued to accompany Cao Wenjin to entertain the guests.
"Uncle, why haven't you seen Uncle Guo?"
Chu Huan is talking about Guo Henian!
Cao Wenjin smiled and said: "He, the company has something to do, so he called me yesterday and will come over later today!"
Chu Huan nodded.
Guests were coming in one after another, and soon Zhao Congyan, the last of the four major shipping kings in Hong Kong, accompanied by Zhao Shizeng, also arrived!
In a corner of the reception, Bao Tianming, Chen Haichao, Liu Pingkui, and Zhu Xiaozhao also came. They watched from a distance as Chu Huan chatted and laughed with those big shots who usually could only be seen on TV or in newspapers.
He looks a little complicated.
"What? Are you envious?"
Bao Tianming was the first to react.
Liu Pingkui was the first to answer: "This is not envy, but happiness. The more powerful Brother Huan is, the happier we will be."
Chen Haichao said nothing, but nodded seriously.
Zhu Xiaozhao's eyes fell more on Cao Yunshang who was next to Chu Huan. Cao Yunshang was so dazzling tonight that none of the women in the entire dance could match her elegance.
Maybe this is Brother Huan’s perfect match for his life!
"But I found that Brother Huan is really sharp. On such an occasion, he not only called us here, but also Li Xiaolong, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and others. Look at how unnatural they are sitting there.
.”
Liu Pingkui smiled and preached to Bao Tianming and others.
It is true that Li Xiaolong is now the most popular movie star in Hong Kong, and it is true that thousands of fans cheer for him when he goes out. But on an occasion like today, even if he has reached the level of Li Xiaolong, among the people present, he can only be a small one.
transparent.
Li Xiaolong is like this, not to mention Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and others.
So what Liu Pingkui said is not false at all. They were sitting on the other side, and they were indeed a little uncomfortable. Li Xiaolong was better, after all, he was very famous, and Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and others were a little arrogant and charming.
At this time, Hong Jinbao felt extremely lucky that he had not chosen to leave the black and white image in the first place. It turned out that what Chu Huan did was all fake.
Now looking at Chu Huan chatting and joking with those first-class rich people in Xiangjiang, and then thinking that Chu Huan actually invited herself to such an occasion, it would be a lie to say that I am not excited.
"Ah Huan, I didn't expect that an amateur would deceive us professionals!"
Li Xiaolong said angrily, thinking that he had told him not to rush to invest in his own movie because of Chu Huan's affairs, but now he realized that Chu Huan was just acting at that time.
"After the engagement ceremony is over, I have to let him apologize to me for everything I say!"
Listening to Li Xiaolong's complaints, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long looked at each other and smiled. They did not have Li Xiaolong's mentality at this time and were still nervous.
On the other side, Chu Huan was chatting with Cao Wenjin and Guo Henian who had just arrived. Cao Yunzu came over again and said with a complicated look: "Daddy, Qi Dezun from Hutchison International is here!"
Chu Huan and others looked at each other. Today's engagement ceremony between Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang was attended by many business celebrities from Xiangjiang, but they were all Chinese businessmen. However, Qi Dezun did not expect that Qi Dezun would come.
Cao Wenjin whispered: "I handed the invitation to Qi Dezun, but I didn't expect that he actually came in person."
Guo Henian smiled and said: "It seems that Ah Huan left a deep enough impression on him last time!"
Everyone at the scene knew that Guo Henian was talking about the previous Niu War.
At this time Qi Dezun came over. Although the current stock market crash caused Qi Dezun heavy losses, he was still smiling at this time.
"Congratulations, congratulations, I'm not late!"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "The senior class was joking, why is it too late? It's just right!"
Qi Dezun laughed and said: "Ah Huan, this time you are famous in Xiangjiang!"
"If Taipan hadn't kept his promise, I wouldn't have won so easily!" Chu Huan continued modestly.
Qi Dezun smiled and said: "When you made that request, Ah Huan, I knew you would definitely succeed. So I didn't believe the news that appeared some time ago. But now it turns out that it is just as I guessed.
That way.”
Jian Yueqiang, Tang Jiqian, and Bao Yugang, who were chatting not far away, saw Chu Huan chatting and laughing with Qi Dezun, and all three of them had puzzled expressions on their faces.
"When did Ah Huan become so familiar with Qi Dezun?" Jian Yueqiang said with some surprise.
Tang Jiqian smiled and said: "You don't even know, how can we know!"
Something suddenly came to Bao Yugang's mind, and he said in shock: "You two, do you still remember the cattle war last year?"
Jian Yueqiang and Tang Jiqian nodded at the same time. How could they not remember the most exciting business war in Hong Kong last year?
"When I was chatting with Sha Ya a few days ago, I heard Sha Ya say that after the end of the cattle purchase war, Qi Dezun suddenly became one of the major shareholders of Land Land, and the shares he held had exceeded his holdings in the dairy company.
190,000 shares held!”
Jian Yueqiang and Tang Jiqian showed a hint of surprise.
"You mean that Qi Dezun has already secretly purchased the shares of the milk company?" Tang Jiqian couldn't help but ask.
Jian Yueqiang said: "This is impossible. According to Qi Dezun's character, if he holds so many shares in the dairy company, Qi Dezun must have started to fight back after Land Land launched the acquisition!"
Bao Yugang also said: "Yes, Sha Ya and I think so too. The extra 190,000 shares in Qi Dezun's hands should have been acquired after the cattle buying war!"
