At six o'clock in the evening on February 26, Li Guangyu rushed to the Peninsula Hotel to attend a charity gala hosted by HSBC Bank.
Security at the Peninsula Hotel today is extremely strict. This is the first time that Li Guangyu has participated in this kind of upper-class exchange event in Hong Kong. The party started at eight o'clock. When Li Guangyu walked into the banquet hall at seven o'clock, many people had already arrived.
Li Guangyu didn't know anyone inside, so he found a quiet place to stay, waiting for the arrival of the big shots behind him.
As the start time of the party gradually approached, the big families in Hong Kong began to show up. Li Ka-shing, Pao Yugang, Li Shauji, Guo Desheng, Cheng Yutong, Lam Baixin, Stanley Ho, tycoons walked in one after another. From them, it can be seen that HSBC
How high is its status in Hong Kong? Well, okay, Standard Chartered is also quite strong in Hong Kong now, but Standard Chartered seems to only serve British-funded consortiums.
What's more amazing is that Li Guangyu saw that He Chaoqiong came with Stanley Ho. What interested He Chaoqiong? He Chaoqiong also noticed Li Guangyu and immediately walked over, smiling at Li Guangyu and said: "I didn't expect that I would come.
Well, surprise or not, the other day I heard that you were going to attend today’s party, so I asked Daddy to take me with him.”
Li Guangyu was shocked by Ho Chaoqiong's arrival, but he was not happy at all. He let Ho Chaoqiong play by himself first and walked towards Stanley Ho. He had to go over to say hello.
"Hello Uncle Jiu!"
Stanley Ho saw Li Guangyu coming to say hello, so he said: "Guangyu, you have done a good job. Now everyone in Hong Kong is praising your company. Come and let me introduce some people to you, so that you can get along easily in the future."
Stanley Ho took Li Guangyu to get to know the famous giants in Hong Kong one by one, allowing Li Guangyu to expand his network of contacts.
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, HSBC Chairman Shen Bi began his speech at the party, welcoming the guests and expressing his gratitude to everyone for supporting HSBC's charity, and then announced the start of the HSBC charity auction. Li Guangyu sat at the sixth table, in front
There were either business tycoons or political elites at the tables. Li Guangyu’s current family was not qualified to sit with the tycoons at the previous tables. The strange thing was that He Chaoqiong did not sit with his father, but went to Li Guangyu’s table.
Coming.
Li Guangyu looked through tonight's auction album and saw items one after another. He didn't understand the value of these items. But he couldn't leave the party empty-handed, so he asked He Chaoqiong next to him: "Cousin, what are you doing?
If you like it, tell me and my cousin will give it to you after the auction."
He Chaoqiong looked through the items in the album, and finally took a fancy to a necklace set with sapphire.
When each item was auctioned, Li Guangyu observed that almost every family would take action once, and the price was basically higher than the price of the item itself. He did not see the kind of deliberate arrogance and family rivalry in later novels. He Chaoqiong
The necklace he was interested in was worth more than 300,000 yuan. Li Guangyu shouted out the auction price of 1 million yuan, which was a contribution to charity.
After the auction is over, everyone starts to carry out activities and communicate with each other. This is the purpose of so many big guys coming here. The essence of HSBC organizing such a party is to deepen everyone’s relationship with HSBC and promote everyone’s communication and cooperation. Usually there are few
There is such an opportunity for many big names to gather together, and HSBC provides such a platform.
Li Guangyu was also busy among the crowd. Now was a good time for him to establish contacts. Main members of various families kept saying hello, including the Chen family who cooperated with Li Guangyu's company and those who assembled arcade machines for Li Guangyu.
The Wu family of workers.
After Li Guangyu returned to his seat again, the party was almost over. He Chaoqiong was just eating without talking to Li Guangyu, with an "I am unhappy" expression on his face. Li Guangyu would not accommodate her now, but now
This is not the time for Li Guangyu to play around. If a family wants to climb to the top in Hong Kong, it is not just about having money. It must have a broad network of contacts, editor
Only by weaving a large network can such a family be called a wealthy family. What Li Guangyu lacks most is the accumulation of connections. Money is not a problem for people like Li Guangyu who know the future development. On the contrary, connections are not so easy to establish.
If you know each other, the relationship is established, which often requires some conditions and time. For example, most of Li Guangyu's current relationships are
It relies on the He family. This relationship is relatively reliable. Take the He family and the Luo family for example. After several generations of marriage, their families have established a deep alliance. This in-law relationship is also the most lasting.
The second type is the interest relationship, which is also a relationship that is widely connected by the family. It is an industrial supply chain formed by the development of the enterprise. When your enterprise
When the industry develops well and my company also benefits, this relationship is also very stable. Such an alliance composed of interests. For example, the more orders Li Guangyu Game Company has now, the more orders the Wu family will receive, so Li Guangyu
Guangyu should consider recruiting more allies in the future, especially Shuang Li, and must seize the opportunity to pull these two off his chariot.
After the party, He Chaoqiong took the necklace and left angrily. When Stanley Ho saw the unhappy look on his baby daughter's face, he immediately said angrily: "Good girl, who made you angry? Daddy, go teach him a lesson."
Seeing what her father said, He Chaoqiong told Stanley Ho, saying frankly that she came here specifically for Li Guangyu, but he did not accompany her, but kept looking for people to build relationships, leaving him to sit there alone.
After hearing He Chaoqiong's story, Stanley Ho comforted him: "Good girl, you have to understand Guangyu. His family is now entirely supported by himself. If your fifth grandfather hadn't come forward a few months ago, the Li family might have been broken up. Don't
Look at the newspapers now that praise him to the sky. He is a god of wealth, a genius, and the idol of young men. People who are not the head of the family will not know how much pressure he is under. The relationship network needs to be rebuilt, and the family business must be rebuilt.
To maintain stable development, the company's people must be stable. If he hadn't generated huge profits as soon as he entered the game industry, maybe the company's people would be gone now, and the Li family would be doomed. Do you think he is willing to drop out? There is nothing he can do.
, if he doesn’t go to the company every day to watch, the company’s people will be unstable. However, this guy is very lucky and has doubled his family’s assets. Maybe Xiangjiang will have a place in the Li family in the future.”
He Chaoqiong listened to Stanley Ho's words and reviewed the several meetings with Li Guangyu in the past few months. He found that his cousin had indeed changed a lot. He wore formal clothes more often than teenage clothes, although he only seemed to have become more mature.
, but you can still see a trace of fatigue between his brows. Thinking about this, He Chaoqiong was no longer angry with Li Guangyu. She said to Stanley Ho: "Daddy, please help cousin Guangyu more. He won't be able to see him for a day."
Quite tiring.”
He Hongshen was surprised when he heard He Chaoqiong's words: "You still care about people. He doesn't need my help now. The only thing he lacks now is connections, which he needs to build by himself, and the He family's appearance is his biggest reliance.
.”
Li Guangyu didn't know what happened next. He was busy going back to sort out what he had gained tonight, sorting out the people he met today, their families, and the industries they were engaged in, so as to lay the foundation for future interactions.
