Today Lu Yahua not only invited family members to witness the engagement ceremony, but also some business friends. This was mainly to make the Shi family and Jing Gao feel that he was serious about this engagement.
In the future, when the engagement is terminated, family members may help with the marriage, but business partners will not shy away from it and will definitely spread the word!
"Brother, congratulations."
"Oh, Lao Lu, congratulations."
"Mr. Lu, congratulations!"
Relatives and guests kept coming to the door of the banquet hall. Lu Yahua greeted friends and relatives from time to time, and greeted the guests inside with a cheerful face.
Lu Guangdong was waiting at the door.
At this time, there was a sound of chatting and laughing from the elevator entrance. Several middle-aged and elderly men were talking and laughing together, accompanied by assistants or juniors. They seemed to be the kind who had successful careers.
"Xiao Lu, congratulations!" The leader, an old man in his fifties who was rich, fair, and of medium height, shook hands with Lu Yahua with a smile.
Lu Yahua quickly leaned over, held his hand with both hands, and said, "Mr. Lu, thank you very much for coming to Quanzi's engagement banquet."
Lu Gangyu has assets of over 100 million and is also involved in the foreign trade industry. He is a toy maker, and the most profitable thing about toys nowadays is of course foreign trade. Because they have the same surname, Lu, he calls him "Big Brother" and follows others to do things.
For example, if Lu Gangyu gets a contract with an importer somewhere in the United States, they will also benefit from some small orders from the second level of subcontracting. After all, the demand for foreign trade orders is diverse.
Lu Gangyu smiled and said: "Xiao Lu, what do you mean? You sent me the invitation, can I not come? This is your son, right? What a handsome young man!" After saying that, he asked his assistant to hand the red envelope to him.
he.
"Thank you, uncle." Lu Guangdong said obediently.
Surrounding Lu Gangyu were all his business partners, businessmen of similar size to Lu Yahua, and they all sent red envelopes one after another.
Someone else joked: "Yahua, isn't your son still in college? It's too hasty to get engaged now? How can we shortchange your share?"
"That's right! Yahua, didn't I make up for your list last time?"
Lu Yahua was unhappy, but he still led Lu Gangyu and others to the banquet hall with a smile on his face. In the business world, he is not as strong as others, so it is normal to be teased and made fun of. Money is hard to make, and private life is hard to eat. This is a famous saying
!
The "mountain"-shaped banquet hall on the fifth floor of Blue Lake Wanda Hotel is medium in size. Currently, there are about seven or eight wine tables. The space is spacious and comfortable.
Lu Yahua led the business partners who came in to the second table on the left side of the main seat facing north and south. Taking the left as the honor, he picked up a cigarette and lit it for Lu Gangyu. Lu Gangyu patted the back of Lu Yahua's hand with satisfaction. Xiao Lu still treated him
I'm very respectful. It's not worth taking care of him. Suddenly his eyes narrowed.
Lu Yahua then offered cigarettes to the other "business partners", and suddenly saw Lu Gangyu standing up and walking towards the main table. He felt a little confused, but in an instant he understood what was going on.
…
…
Lu Gangyu is fifty-six years old this year. Seeing Jing Gao, who is sitting tall and tall at the main table, his heart feels like it is overturned. The past events of more than two years ago come to mind.
In Rongcheng, the county town below Baoding, he and his friend Xie Wangzhen helped Jinggao successfully acquire the textile company in Rongcheng. At the celebration banquet, Jinggao invited him to serve as the executive director of Xia Shang Textile Group. His friend Xie Wangzhen suggested that he transfer the textile business in his hands to Rongcheng.
The industry was directly merged into Xia Shang Textile Group, just like An Zhiwen, but he refused.
What he thought at the time was that he would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
However, looking back at this decision two years later is simply stupid! What is An Zhiwen’s status now? The CEO of Phoenix Group is respected wherever he goes. An Zhiwen is only thirty-six years old. He is completely younger than him
Twenty years old.
My friend Xie Wangzhen completely got rid of the textile industry in his hands, followed Jing Gao into the real estate industry, and helped Jing Gao manage Xia Shang Real Estate, which is currently listed on Hong Kong Island with a market value of HK$180 billion.
This market value has clearly demonstrated that Xia Shang Real Estate is a first-tier real estate giant in the country.
Counting the real estate companies in Hong Kong stocks, Xia Shang Real Estate ranks seventh. The top ones are: Sun Hung Kai, Evergrande, Vanke, China Resources, and Country Garden. Among the traditional investment and insurance companies, China Merchants Real Estate, Poly Real Estate, and Gemdale Group, plus Lenovo's former
Sunac, founded by Gold Medal Sales, was left behind by Xia Shang Real Estate.
Now it is hard for him to compare with his best friends! So much so that he rarely meets Xie Wang really now. This is too common in the business world. If they are not on the same level, they cannot interact with each other at all!
If he had agreed to Jing Gao's invitation at that time, if nothing else, he would have been at least the CEO of Xia Shang Textile Group with assets of hundreds of billions. His personal net worth would not still be around 200 million. His friend Xie Wangzhen holds a small share of Xia Shang
With shares in real estate, his net worth now exceeds 1 billion. He has become one of the richest tycoons in the country.
A net worth of 1 billion is a threshold!
However, is there any regret medicine in this world?
But he never thought that the world would be so wonderful. He came to attend the engagement banquet of the son of his "younger brother" and met Jing Gao. This was really...too much!
Lu Gangyu took two steps forward and said enthusiastically but steadily: "Mr. Jing, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Jing Gao looked at the slightly familiar old man in his fifties in front of him and couldn't remember his name for a while, but out of respect for others and prudentness, he still stood up with a smile.
Looking at Jing Gao's slightly confused expression, Lu Gangyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart. More than two years later, Mr. Jing no longer remembered his appearance. While extending his hand to shake Jing Gao's hand, he introduced himself: "
Mr. Jing, my name is Lu Gangyu. I had a drink with Xie Wangzhen a while ago, and I mentioned that Mr. Jing, you are now like a dragon in the sky, and your career is rising steadily."
Jing Gao immediately remembered, how could he forget the acquisition of Rongcheng? That was his first step in transforming capital into power. It was that small step that led to his current glory and success.
Power.
He shook hands with Lu Gangyu, patted the back of his hand, and said with emotion: "Old Lu, we haven't seen each other for more than two years, right? I didn't even recognize you! You look a little old! Sit down!"
At the main table, besides my sister-in-law Jing Manni, my uncles Shi Junzhi, Shi Yanjun, Jing Gao, and Li Mengwei, there are also Lu Guangdong, his parents Lu Yahua and Xin Meiyu, my brother-in-law Lu Shixin, my aunt, my second aunt, and my aunt.
Lu Guangdong's aunt was young, only in her thirties, and she looked like a beautiful woman. She whispered in a low voice: "Who is this? It's a mess." Everyone at the table heard this, which was a clear expression of respect for Jing Gao.
dissatisfied.
After all, it’s not Shi Yanjun’s cousin’s turn to point fingers at this engagement banquet, right? Do you still respect the Lu family?
Lu Yahua was still socializing and smoking at the next table and didn't follow him in time.
Lu Shixuan shook his head, the water in the tea cup in his hand was rippling. He almost wanted to get up and cover the little girl's mouth, winking crazily. Little sister, you are crazy! This is something that even the elder brother is holding.
Mr. Lu. He has a net worth of 100 to 200 million!
In this society, people don't have much idea about other people's net worth of 100 or 200 million. It doesn't seem very rich at first glance, but only when such a rich person appears in your life, you will have a profound understanding.
Comparing all aspects of life, such as where you live, where your children go to school, the car you drive, the nanny, etc., you will know that their quality of life is higher than yours.
And this Mr. Lu treats Shi Yanjun's cousin with such respect, one by one Mr. Jing, what is the identity of this cousin? What does it mean for him to arrange a seat?
"Mr. Jing, thank you! Thank you!" Lu Gangyu was moved in his heart. He was an old Jianghu and had been involved in the business world for many years. As soon as he heard it, he knew that Mr. Jing sincerely invited him to sit down and have a chat. He was as friendly as an old acquaintance, but he
You can't be ignorant! This is Mr. Jing's cousin's engagement banquet. What does it mean for him to sit at the main table as an outsider?
"Mr. Jing, I won't sit down. I'm here to congratulate the two newlyweds today, so I can't overwhelm you. I'll toast you later."
Jing Gao smiled and nodded, "Okay. Save some wine. I'll treat you to two drinks after the party ends."
"Okay!" Lu Gangyu left with a smile on his face.
Li Mengwei smiled and shook Jing Gao's hand under the table. She didn't care how prestigious Jing Gao was in the outside business world, because Jing Gao rarely attended any formal social occasions, and as her girlfriend and fiancée, she didn't attend anything together.
activities. So it is rare to see him being respected outside and feeling his power. I didn’t expect to see him today!
The table was full of people. Lu Shixin used WeChat on his mobile phone to briefly explain the situation to his younger sister, "Little sister, Mr. Lu is in the textile and clothing business. My eldest brother's toy factory's export orders all depend on him. My eldest brother's business is coming today."
Among our partners, Mr. Lu is the most important. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Aunt Lu was not stupid, and she quickly realized what it meant. Mr. Lu, who had the same surname, respected Shi Yanjun's cousin so much. What did that mean? She suddenly felt a little restless. She glanced at Jing Gao covertly, wanting to apologize but not knowing how.
Open your mouth. If Jing Gao's female companion is not so beautiful, maybe she can rely on her status as an aunt and a beautiful woman to round out her words with half truths and half lies. Now, I'm afraid I can only wait for the banquet to start and take the opportunity to toast.
Mention it.
The second brother did the same and didn't remind her earlier.
If Lu Shixin knew that his younger sister was complaining about him so much in his heart, he would probably be aggrieved. How did he know that the "Mr. Jing" that his elder brother casually asked him to entertain had such a big background? Isn't he the cousin of his nephew's wife Shi Yanjun? It turns out...
His intestines are about to turn green now. Just now when he was handing the cigarette to Jing Gao, he clearly expressed his displeasure with Jing Gao for not taking the cigarette. He even gave him a sidelong look. This is really fatal.
…
…
A small episode passed quickly, and the invited emcee announced the start of the engagement ceremony. Two young men, Shi Yanjun and Lu Guangdong, came to the stage in front of the cameras and everyone, and exchanged engagement rings in the presence of their parents.
Each made a speech again, and then the banquet started.
