Wu Jianye was sitting in the living room, writing something as usual, but if someone passed by Wu Jianye at this time, they would see him drawing a circle within a circle on a piece of white paper.
The servants of the villa were all driven back to their rooms by Wu Jianye at this time.
At this time, I was in the room upstairs with Gong Yin and his son. As for what to say, Wu Jianye didn't know. Anyway, he knew that today's hurdle was probably over.
About an hour later, my mother hugged Wu Qichen and Gong Ying helped her walk down. When I saw Wu Jianye, my face instantly dropped. This little bastard quietly caused such trouble to me.
It was a big trouble, but seeing how well-behaved her two grandsons were, I decided to spare Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye immediately put down the pen and paper in his hand and walked over with a flattering smile.
"You know how to laugh, but let me tell you, I have already told Xuexue, if you dare to make Xuexue, mother and son unhappy in the future, I will not forgive you!" I said harshly.
Wu Jianye said quickly: "Look what you said, it's too late for me to feel pain. How can I make them unhappy?"
Gong Yin looked at Wu Jianye, whom he had never seen before, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, but the redness in his eye circles still did not disappear.
At this time, I had the time to look at the villa where Wu Jianye was now, and asked: "How much money did your kid earn outside? Isn't this place a waste of money?"
Wu Jianye knew that I was worried about money, so he quickly said: "It didn't cost much, it's about the same as what I spent in Yanjing!"
This is probably a common trick used by children against their elders. A bag cost tens of thousands, but they say it cost two hundred, either because they are afraid that their elders will say that they spend money lavishly, or because the money comes from irregular channels.
.....
At this time, I came from a rural area. If it were a knowledgeable mother, I would have asked Wu Jianye to use some of the family property at this time to give Gong Yin and her son peace of mind.
Now that the storm has passed, Wu Jianye also suggested to my mother whether it was time for my aunt and others to come over.
Hearing what Wu Jianye said, I had another headache. In my opinion, this kind of thing is not a good thing, and now everyone knows about it.
However, I also knew that this matter had reached this stage and it was impossible to hide it, so I had no choice but to nod.
Then Wu Jianye went to make a phone call, and soon everyone arrived at Yanwen's villa.
The aunt obviously already knew what was going on here from Chen Le, so she just talked about Wu Qichen's cuteness, while I complained to Lu Fangfang.
The New Year atmosphere in Xiangjiang is no worse than that in China, and is even livelier than that in China.
Xiangjiang is a very strange place. It is a city that combines China and the West most harmoniously. Many customs that cannot be seen in China have been completely preserved in Xiangjiang.
In the past few days, accompanied by Gong Ying, I also took a good stroll around Xiangjiang. At the beginning, it was indeed very fresh, and I was even a little bit unable to let go. I always felt a little out of tune with the atmosphere here, even if I go there every time
When I went out, in the eyes of others, my travels were just like those of an old lady from one of the top wealthy families in Hong Kong.
When I came back today, I sat on the sofa in the living room and complained, "I really don't know what's so good about this shabby place. There are so many people and thieves, and things are so expensive. I just saw a bracelet. It cost hundreds of thousands."
How do people live here?"
The aunt laughed next to her and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of families and they don't let you pay!"
Gong Yin has been accompanying his mother these two days, and Wu Jianye didn't go out, so he heard what his aunt meant and asked strangely: "Why didn't you spend any money?"
The aunt said: "Originally, your mother was not prepared to buy it, but Xue Xue insisted on buying it. Then, in the gold shop where we were, a young man happened to come over. Everyone called him Young Master. That man knew Xue Xue. I got it.
After becoming your mother, you will give it to us no matter what you say!"
Wu Jianye glanced at Gong Yin.
Gong Ying explained: "My mother, my aunt, and I went to the Chow Tai Fook Gold Store, and we happened to see the official Chun inspecting the store."
The old woman said: "There are hundreds of thousands of bracelets, and they are given away as soon as they say they are given away. Do you think you don't need to pay back these sentiments?"
After finishing speaking, my mother looked at Wu Jianye and said worriedly: "No, you can return my and your aunt's bracelets to others later. Don't let them come to you to do something difficult again!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "You and auntie, just keep it with peace of mind. That gold shop also has our shares, so it'll be fine!"
Zheng Yutong's New World System is also a huge consortium, including Chow Tai Fook. Yu Zhi Investment is the second largest shareholder of New World, and is naturally a shareholder of Chow Tai Fook.
But this kind of thing doesn't mean that if you own Chow Tai Fook's shares, you can take the things at will. Even Zheng Jiachun will definitely have to pay for it.
But the things here are too complicated, and I can’t explain them clearly to my mother.
I feel that I have been stimulated more in the past two days than in most of my life. First, I got a daughter-in-law and a grandson inexplicably, and then I found that my son seemed to have opened a big business without telling me. Now he even has a gold shop.
All the business was done.
In the minds of the older generation, gold shop business is not something ordinary people can do.
If it weren't for the stimulation of the past two days that my ability to withstand psychological stress has increased several times, I would probably have to have a good fight with Wu Jianye at this time.
After just a few words of conversation here, the phone in the living room rang. After Wu Jianye answered the call, it turned out to be Zheng Yutong's call.
"Director Wu, when I came back from North America, I didn't even make a call!" Zheng Yutong laughed on the phone.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "I haven't been back for a few days. I knew that Zheng Weng was busy, so I didn't call Zheng Weng!"
Zheng Yutong's voice sounded very excited, and he said: "Do you have time, Director Wu, to play some games together tonight?"
Wu Jianye thought for a moment, but did not refuse. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be there in a minute!"
"Okay, I'll make an appointment now!" Zheng Yutong said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Jianye went to change clothes. When he was about to go out, my mother suddenly asked: "What are you going to do?"
Wu Jianye was slightly startled. In the past, when he went out, Gong Yin would rarely ask him what he was going to do, but would only ask when he would be back. Now someone suddenly asked him what he was going to do, but he was not used to it.
"I'm going to discuss something with my friends. You don't have to wait for me tonight, I'll play cards with them!" Wu Jianye said.
"Playing cards? Play small!" the old lady warned.
Wu Jianye said nothing and agreed with a smile.
After walking for about ten minutes, Wu Jianye arrived at Zheng Yutong's villa. Although their villas were connected, according to some laws in Hong Kong, their villas were still somewhat apart.
After seeing Wu Jianye, Zheng Yutong and Li Zhaoji quickly stood up and exchanged greetings.
"If Jiachun hadn't seen your mother today, he wouldn't have known that Director Wu had come to Xiangjiang!" Zheng Yutong said with a smile.
Wu Jianye said: "The old man missed his grandson, so he took it over!"
As for the gold shop matter, Wu Jianye would not mention it. This kind of thing was tacitly understood by everyone and would not be brought up to talk about.
Zheng Yutong said: "For people of our age, grandchildren are the most important thing!"
Zheng Jiachun has already contributed to their Zheng family. The third generation successor of the Zheng family, Zheng Zhigang, has also been born. He is now ten years old and is well protected by the Zheng family.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Yes, the old people are all relatives of the next generation!"
Li Zhaoji laughed from the side and said: "Director Wu has time to teach my eldest son, he only knows how to work and study every day. Now he doesn't even have a girlfriend, and I don't know what he is thinking about every day!"
Li Jiajie, the eldest son of Li Zhaoji, is definitely a breath of fresh air among the rich second generation in Hong Kong. He has a low-key personality and is introverted. He does not like to go to colorful social occasions and has never been isolated from nightlife.
She loves skiing, horse riding, cycling and other healthy and sunny sports. She hires teachers to study hard for each sport and requires herself to be the best.
According to rumors, Li Jiajie’s skiing level is close to that of professional skiers.
Li Zhaoji is naturally satisfied with such a son, but Li Jiajie is already 27 years old this year and does not have a girlfriend yet, which makes Li Zhaoji a little anxious.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Fourth uncle, you don't have to worry. If you have a good meal, don't be afraid of being late. Maybe Peter will give you three babies by then!"
Li Zhaoji smiled bitterly, feeling that Wu Jianye was making a joke on him.
After a while, Li Chaoren also arrived belatedly. In fact, in the later period, neither Li Chaoren nor Li Zhaoji participated in the activities of Zheng Yutong's conference. But the difference now is that they were playing with Wu Jianye.
Most people can't play poker, only people at their level can.
In the past, due to the HSBC incident, Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong and Wu Jianye were not alienated. Now that they are in their position, these things will not really cause problems.
While chatting, Zheng Yutong also complained about Wu Jianye: "Director Wu, I called you before and hoped that you could attend the opening ceremony of the convention and exhibition center!"
In fact, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center was completed in the 1988s, but Zheng Yutong chose to unveil it in November last year.
The Convention and Exhibition Center made people in Hong Kong aware of Zheng Yutong’s influence.
When the foundation was laid, the Queen of England was invited to attend the groundbreaking ceremony. Last year, the Crown Prince Charles and his wife Diana were invited to unveil the Xiangjiang International Convention and Exhibition Center.
At the same time, the Convention and Exhibition Center has also left many questions for ordinary citizens of Xiangjiang, such as the content of the agreement between New World and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council? The actual cost of the project? What is the economic prospect?
Outsiders don't know these things, but Wu Jianye, as a shareholder of New World, naturally knows that New World has gained a lot of advantage this time.
The main agreements between New World and the Trade Development Council are:
1. New World Group does not have to pay any land premium;
2. Bear the rent of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council’s office in the Great Eagle Center before the Convention and Exhibition Center is completed, with a maximum annual burden of HK$6 million, which is HK$24 million over four years;
3. Pay HK$75 million to the Hong Kong Trade Development Council for its funding;
4. After the property is completed, the exhibition hall, conference hall and conference room ownership will belong to the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, and the rest will belong to New World Group;
5. New World Group leases the right to operate exhibition and conference venues from the Hong Kong Trade Development Council for 40 years, with an annual rent of US$650,000 (HK$5.07 million) or 5% of gross operating income, whichever is higher.
As for the rate of return of the Convention and Exhibition Center, New World's shareholders are very satisfied. The actual cost of the Convention and Exhibition Center project is only 2.25 billion Hong Kong dollars. However, based on the rate of return of the various businesses of the Convention and Exhibition Center, the Convention and Exhibition Center will bring new benefits to New World every year.
A revenue of HK$552 million!
How many interested parties are involved in this? Although Wu Jianye is the second largest shareholder of New World, he has never interfered with these matters. Being a shareholder who only pays dividends with peace of mind is what Wu Jianye said to Xiangjiang
policies of several major groups.
It was Wu Jianye's behavior that made Zheng Yutong and others attach great importance to Wu Jianye. Everyone hoped that the second largest shareholder of their company could stand with them.
This will save you a lot of trouble.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I'd better forget about this kind of thing. Besides, there are indeed things that I can't come back from at that time!"
Wu Jianye, who has already decided to participate in as few business activities as possible in the future, will naturally not appear on such occasions. Let alone the convention and exhibition center, Wu Jianye will not participate in the opening ceremony of the domestic international trade.
In the business field, Zhou Tao, Yan Wen, Zhao Lei, Jiang Zhiqiang and others will be at the front in the future. Keeping a low profile is the way to go.
Zheng Yutong and others didn't say much. Everyone has their own way of life. In fact, they are also very satisfied with Wu Jianye's current attitude. A low-key shareholder who does not participate in specific work is always good for them.
.
While several people were playing cards, Liu Luanxiong also came to Zheng Yutong's villa.
Although Liu Luanxiong is now a new rich man in Hong Kong, he can still only be a younger brother to Wu Jianye and others, so he can only take on the job of waiting on the card game.
In this card game, Wu Jianye still ended up losing money. He didn't lose much, less than one million. Anyway, it was more than the bracelets on his mother and aunt's hands.
After the card game ended, everyone finished breakfast at Zheng Yutong's villa before it was over.
When leaving Zheng Yutong's villa, Liu Luanxiong invited Wu Jianye to sit down for a while. This was basically Wu Jianye's reserved item every time he came to Xiangjiang. Wu Jianye did not refuse, and the two agreed on a time.
Seeing the night, he slowly returned to his villa.
When I saw Wu Jianye coming back after staying out all night, I could not help but complain a few times.
Wu Jianye took a look and saw that his aunt and Gong Yin were not there, so he whispered to his mother.
"Mom, there is actually a surprise in Xiangjiang. My son will take you to see it this afternoon!"
