It was not easy to divert Nangong Tian's attention.
Jiang Yu quickly came over and admired the surrounding decorations. He also took Xiao Nizi with him and said that he wanted to see the bride's other wedding dress, as well as the piles of gifts and dowry. He was very excited.
When Su Yehao saw this, his face almost turned green and he was speechless for a while.
Headache……
After a while.
His mother came over, holding a crocodile skin limited edition Hermès Birkin bag, and around her neck was a blue diamond necklace, blue diamond earrings, and a bracelet to form a three-piece set.
Looking at the center diamond, which is bigger than a pigeon egg, it would be difficult to get it for less than 18 million Hong Kong dollars. Considering that buying it in the name of a company can not only deduct tax, but also preserve and increase its value, Su Yehao only thinks that this set of jewelry is amazing.
What he felt was not worth it were the ordinary small diamonds that were sold at high prices.
The number of natural top-grade fancy color diamonds that only high-end players can afford is so rare that they have become collectibles and works of art. There are many potential buyers and they cannot be generalized.

Mrs. Tang looked around and asked curiously: "I just saw the little girl from the Nangong family with you. Where is she?"
"I went to look at the dowry with Jiang Yu."
Su Yehao sounded helpless and continued: "I regret a little bit. I shouldn't have come today. Nangong just said that she likes weddings like this. This kind of occasion is simply poisonous..."
Mrs. Tang thought about it for a moment and immediately guessed the reason why her son said he shouldn't come.
She smiled and said: "Weddings happen every day. It's impossible not to let her see them all the time. Some troubles will always have to be faced in the end. Who makes you so affectionate?"
When talking to my mother, I don’t have so many worries. I don’t have to worry about turning my elbows outward.
Su Yehao spread his hands and said:
"Anyway, I have made up my mind that I may never officially get married in this life. I might consider going to Las Vegas and letting her wear a wedding dress in a church. It doesn't matter who I choose to marry. After marriage, everything will be different.
Once you are photographed shopping with another woman, you will easily get scolded if the photo is published in the newspaper. You can't expect to get back the money you received as a gift."
"You are still young now. Maybe you will have another idea in the future. But if you really don't get married, I should consider making a big deal on my fiftieth birthday and give out millions of gifts one after another.
, always looking for reasons to take it back.”
There are many relatives and friends, tens of thousands are given here, tens of thousands are given there, and things keep happening all day long.
Just like when the restaurant located near the Ruins of St. Paul's opened, there were many people giving money to Su Yehao. It was normal to give out millions of dollars in gifts one after another.
Su Yehao smiled and said: "When you are fifty, tell me what you want in advance."
"As long as you are safe and healthy, I am already thankful to God. I know you have money now, but I have always been uneasy. Money comes too easily, and you have to be able to keep it."
Seeing that his mother was in class again, Su Yehao immediately lost his temper and decisively changed the subject and asked: "I know, I know, Mom, your jewelry is so beautiful. How much did it cost to buy it?"
"This set was a gift from your father. It was customized from Cartier in 1988. It seems to have cost more than one million U.S. dollars. I originally planned to give it to my daughter-in-law as a family heirloom. If you don't plan to get married, you will mess up my plan.
I'm getting older day by day, and diamonds are no longer suitable for me. Some of my friends are already grandmothers. I wear a simple pearl necklace when I go out. Time flies so fast..."
————————————
Being led by my mother, I met many famous people in Hong Kong City.
For example, the owner behind the Peninsula Hotel is the head of the Kadoorie family, which almost monopolizes the power industry in the port city.
This family is relatively low-key, but most people in Hong Kong know about it. The shadow of this family can be seen in all aspects of life. It came to Asia to develop as early as the last century. At the beginning of this century, it spent millions of taels of silver in Shanghai.
He built residences in the city and is still one of the wealthiest families in Hong Kong.
In addition, the second son of the Li family stood beside the groom as the best man, and people from other wealthy families in Hong Kong also attended.
Su Yehao rarely walked around with them. Today, when he looked at the bosses of several major real estate developers, he suddenly realized that there was still a big gap between them. Their strength was obviously not at the same level.
According to my mother’s introduction, the people Su Yehao cares about are the Shipwang family, the Li family of Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa, the Kuok family and the Li family of Sun Hung Kai, plus the Zhou family of Tai Fook Jewelry and New World Properties.
.
The difference in worth is actually not that big, but at their level, it's not just personal wealth that needs to be compared.
Some people hold the right to speak in giant companies through partial shares. Their net worth may only be around 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, but they manage assets worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. Their influence is undoubtedly far greater than that of the current Su family and Tang family.
Facing the so-called "four major families" ranked by others, Su Yehao had to be convinced.
Both of his parents together could barely reach the threshold of a first-class wealthy family, but they were a little behind in terms of foundation and strength. Not only were they not as good as the four major families, but they also had a certain gap compared with some of the established first-class wealthy families.
Of course.
Su Yehao just had nothing to do and thought about it in his mind.
With this foundation in mind, he doesn't have to envy others at all. It won't be long before he can overtake on a curve, making these veteran wealthy people look at the taillights of his car and sigh, "The waves in front of the Yangtze River beat the waves behind."
He was acting out in every situation, with a stiff smile on his face, and was led everywhere by his mother to meet his elders.
It wasn't until the master of ceremonies started to speak that Su Yehao found Xiao Nizi and took a seat at the VIP table closer to the front.
Probably because they are worried about diners' taboos, the menu lists the detailed ingredients of each dish. Fish maw, bird's nest, and sea cucumber are standard. There are also Australian dragon, soft-shell turtle, abalone, squab, suckling pig, etc., priced per table.
Thirty-nine thousand.
After some hindsight, he finally realized why the leader of Kadoorie whom he had met before was so happy today.
There were more than 300 tables for this wedding, and seven banquet halls were reserved. Only the main hall could see the wedding scene, and other guests could only eat. After completing this business, the Peninsula Hotel made enough profit to buy a new Rolls Royce.
S.
Judging from the expenses, it is estimated that the betrothal gifts are not enough, and there is a high probability that you will lose money.
Finding another reason to refuse to get married, Su Yehao was looking forward to the banquet. While wandering around, he was thinking about opening a better hotel than the Peninsula when he had spare money someday. It was not about how much money he could make, but the style.
The emcee's speech sounded like an old lady's foot wrap. Su Yehao was stunned for more than 20 minutes before he finally got through all the steps.
When the dishes were served, he felt energetic, poured a glass of genuine Lafite, and drank it with his mother and acquaintances present.
The process was similar to the weddings I had attended before, including toasts and red envelopes.
Not long after eating and drinking, a stranger stopped Su Yehao, introduced himself as the investment banking manager of HSBC, and wanted to take the opportunity to chat with him.
As soon as Su Yehao heard about this person's workplace, he immediately lost interest.
He waved his hands and left, for fear that when he woke up, he and his money would be gone...
