Chapter 903 Giants Night Banquet (4000+ chapters~)
Hong Kong Island, No. 33 Sassoon Road! The villa of Emperor Huo!
At 6:30 in the evening, a Rolls-Royce with license plate hk1997 slowly drove to the Huo family mansion.
The housekeeper of the Huo family's mansion stood at the door to greet the guests. After seeing the car, he quickly led the car into the yard.
There are obviously many luxury cars parked in the yard, including Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Porsche, and the Nissan Presidential RV, which is the favorite of Hong Kong rich people.
In the 1992s, according to statistics from newspapers owned by Fengge Media, the two favorite models of Hong Kong's rich were Rolls-Royce and Nissan's presidential sedan.
There are more than 1,100 Rolls-Royce vehicles in Hong Kong, making it the city with the highest concentration of this model in the world. Hong Kong celebrities such as He Hongshen and Shao Liushu are particularly fond of Rolls-Royce.
As for the Nissan presidential car, because it is the throne of Emperor RB, it is especially favored by wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong. 40 cars are allocated to Hong Kong every year. It is rare and valuable. This car was once sold in Hong Kong for more than 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars.
Li Chaoren was particularly fond of this car. When his eldest son Li Zeju got married, Li Chaoren showed up in this car. However, after Li Zeju's accident, Li Chaoren replaced his car with a customized BMW.
In fact, it is not enough to just buy a car in Xiangjiang. You must also be able to afford the car. Not to mention the driver’s salary, a slightly better license plate costs hundreds of thousands. At the same time, you have to pay various taxes and fees. If the car owner If you don't have a private house without a single courtyard, you still need to buy a parking space, which costs tens to millions of Hong Kong dollars.
This year, "Ming Pao" reported that parking spaces in large housing estates (usually underground of buildings) cost nearly one million yuan, while parking spaces in Mid-levels were as high as 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars.
As a wealthy man in Xiangjiang, he is naturally very fond of license plates.
License plates in Xiangjiang are used for profit and are auctioned. Some beautiful numbers have also been auctioned at high prices. For example, the number 2 license plate of the former financial secretary of Xiangjiang, McGrath, will be used when he retires and settles in the UK. It was put up for auction, and the license plate number fetched a high price of 9.5 million, as well as Shao Liushu's No. 6 license plate. However, when Shao Liushu bought this license plate, it was in 1978, so the price was 330,000 Hong Kong dollars. Today , the price will definitely exceed 10 million!
This can be seen from the No. 9 license plate auctioned this year.
At the beginning of this year, the Hong Kong government put the No. 9 license plate up for auction. During the period, the license plate was once sold for 14 million Hong Kong dollars. The final transaction price was 16 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a historical record for Hong Kong license plates.
The person who took the photo of this license plate was Yan Wen, the president of Yiwang Group, and the person who competed with Yan Wen for this license plate was Yang Shoucheng of Emperor Group.
Previously in 1988, Zhou Tao also bid for the No. 8 license plate in Xiangjiang. However, because prices at that time were not as high as they are now, Zhou Tao's high price of 6 million exceeded the 5 million offered by Luo Dingbang, a veteran wealthy man in Xiangjiang. Obtained this No. 8 license plate.
Wu Jianye, Zhu Xian and Dai Zhen got out of the Rolls-Royce with license plate number hk1997.
Compared with those license plates that easily cost millions or even tens of millions, Wu Jianye’s hk1997 can be described as a land stall price.
After the dust settled on the Xiangjiang issue, the Xiangjiang Transportation Management Bureau put the license plate up for auction. The purpose can be imagined.
In fact, in another time and space, the price of this license plate was 25,000 Hong Kong dollars. It failed in the first auction. The Transportation Management Department had no choice but to re-auction it with a price of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. It was later sold to Wu Baoqiang of the Japanese Language School.
It was auctioned for HK$21,000.
But this time it was different. When the auction started, Wu Jianye asked Yanwen to help him take pictures. At the same time, at that auction, almost all the Geely numbers taken out by the Transportation Management Bureau were
Wu Jianye was photographed.
These include ‘7777’ and ‘9999’ which have no letter prefix in front.
When Wu Jianye usually travels to Xiangjiang, he will take the '7777' BMW, and when he usually attends events, he will take the 'hk1997' Rolls-Royce.
In the circle of top wealthy people in Hong Kong, everyone knows that this car belongs to Wu Jianye.
Although the sky had not darkened at this time, the Huo family mansion was already brightly lit, and many rich men could be seen coming in and out with their female companions.
The appearance of Wu Jianye and the others has aroused the attention of countless people. After these years of management, Wu Jianye's influence in Hong Kong is no longer as loud as it was in previous years. Now the media in Xiangjiang pay more attention to
Wu Jianye focused on his identity as a director.
Wu Jianye's previous success in business has long been hidden by Fengge Media. It is precisely because of this that Wu Jianye's name has not appeared in the financial sector for many years. Nowadays, social development
People's memories are naturally not that good, so when Wu Jianye no longer appears in the financial section, few ordinary people still remember the news that Wu Jianye is one of the three major financial institutions in Hong Kong.
News about the boss behind the group.
But this is only in the circle of ordinary people, but in the circle of the top wealthy people in Hong Kong, it is a different concept!
With the development of the three major groups Yaoguang, Yiwang, and Fengge Media, Wu Jianye's importance in their hearts has become larger and larger.
So when Wu Jianye appears here, you can see some elderly financial group heads or heads of Xiangjiang families. When they see Wu Jianye, they will come over to say hello very politely, and some
Young people who follow their elders will show some doubtful expressions.
Dai Zhen whispered to Wu Jianye: "Brother, I went shopping by myself!"
Emperor Huo's banquet had a place specially prepared for drivers and bodyguards. Although Dai Zhen could follow Wu Jianye into the main hall, he didn't like that environment. It would be better to have a happy meal and chat with some drivers and bodyguards.
Woolen cloth!
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Well, go ahead!"
At this time, Emperor Huo's eldest son Huo Zhenting also came out. Standing next to him was his well-dressed wife Zhu Lingling, who was known as the most beautiful Hong Kong lady. The two came to Wu Jianye and Zhu Xian.
"Director Wu, welcome, my father has been waiting inside for a long time!" Huo Zhenting said with a smile on his face.
Since the Hong Kong newspaper war, Wu Jianye rarely participated in such dances except for a small-scale personal party held by Zheng Yutong. This time Wu Jianye was able to take Zhu Xian to Huo Tsar Huang's dance.
Obviously, Huo Tsar Huang was given enough face, and Huo Zhenting naturally felt that his face was bright!
Wu Jianye smiled and looked at the couple who looked very loving at this moment, and said with a smile: "Thank you for keeping Huo Weng waiting!",
The wedding of Huo Zhenting and Zhu Lingling shocked the whole Hong Kong. It was called the most perfect combination of the Hong Kong entertainment circle and the rich circle. Zhu Lingling's situation even gave many female stars in the Hong Kong entertainment circle the vision of marrying into a wealthy family.
Although there were many reports in later generations that Zhu Lingling did not get the respect she deserved in the Huo family, and even the use of a string of jewelry had to be registered, in fact such rules existed before Zhu Lingling married into the Huo family.
.
Later, even though Zhu Lingling divorced Fok Zhenting, she still fell into the arms of another rich man. After all, Zhu Lingling is indeed one of the Hong Kong sisters with the best ending!
Under the guidance of Huo Zhenting, Wu Jianye came to the middle of the dance.
At this time, we can see that in Xiangjiang, even the business community is divided into classes. For example, those standing in the middle are top tycoons such as Huo Tsar Huang, Zheng Yutong, and He Hongshen. Some other tycoons can only stand on the periphery.
Looking at it with envy.
When Emperor Huo and others saw Wu Jianye from a distance, they also smiled.
When Wu Jianye walked to the center of the field, Emperor Huo took two steps with a smile on his face, met Wu Jianye, and said with a smile: "Director Wu, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Your arrival this time will make me happy."
The flowers are shining brightly here!"
Wu Jianye responded with a smile: "Huo Weng is so polite. Coming to visit you is what we juniors should do!"
Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen also smiled and greeted Wu Jianye.
Those on the periphery watched Wu Jianye chatting and laughing with the three top businessmen in the venue, and they didn't feel anything was wrong. Even the most marginalized businessmen who can participate in the ball held by Huo Tsar are among the first-class businessmen in Xiangjiang.
A consortium!
It was precisely this identity that allowed them to know Wu Jianye's true identity.
To be honest, at this time, many people were already preparing to come over and get close to Wu Jianye. After all, it was not easy to capture a living Wu Jianye.
As mentioned before, Wu Jianye rarely appears in such circles, so many people are thinking about how to communicate with Wu Jianye!
Since it was a dance, after a few people chatted for a while, they naturally entered the venue to dance. Wu Jianye and Zhu Xie also entered the venue to dance a song. However, the most eye-catching person on the dance floor was He Hongshen. He had danced at the time.
He is known as the king, and his fourth wife is his dance partner.
Lizhi also served as He Hongshen's dance partner for two years in the past two years...
Wu Jianye was not very keen on such occasions, and he came here purely to give face to Emperor Huo Tsar, so after dancing a song, he stood aside and chatted with Zhu Xian.
But it was obvious that Wu Jianye could not be idle at this time. Many people came to Wu Jianye and introduced themselves, and Wu Jianye had no choice but to reply to them one by one with a smile on his face.
"Director Wu, I am very happy to see you here. I have watched all of your movies!"
At this time, a middle-aged man came over and handed his business card to Wu Jianye!
Wu Jianye took it and saw that it was Chen Qizong from Hang Lung Real Estate.
Hang Lung Properties was once one of the top five Chinese real estate companies in Xiangjiang, but fell behind for a time in the 1980s. However, it finally managed to survive with its strong foundation.
Last year, the Chen Qizong family ranked tenth among the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, but this year it will drop to 12th. According to the Hong Kong Economic Journal, the market value of Hang Lung Properties this year is as high as HK$31.2 billion!
But Wu Jianye didn't have a good impression of him. This was Pan Yiyi from Xiangjiang!
He is also a rich man who likes to donate to foreign institutions of higher learning that he has never been to...
In fact, Wu Jianye doesn't have much resentment towards rich people who donate to foreign universities. After all, many people donate money just to let their children enter this school. It is not much different from going through the back door.
It is a pity that some wealthy people make donations in an extremely high-profile way, and more importantly, after donating, they still act like they are doing it for charity. Of course, if this is the case, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, you can do whatever you want.
What makes people dissatisfied is that while they donate to foreign universities, they also belittle domestic education and universities, which is meaningless.
"Thank you!" Although he was dissatisfied with some of this person's actions, there was no grudge between the two parties after all. Wu Jianye naturally couldn't slap him in the face like a second grader, so Wu Jianye still greeted the other person with a smile at this time.
of!
"I heard that Director Wu has just finished filming his new movie. I don't know when I will be able to see it!" Chen Qizong said with a smile.
"We have to wait until New Year's Day this year!" Wu Jianye replied.
"It's still a long wait. It seems like us movie fans are still going to have to suffer for a while!" Chen Qizong looked pityful.
After the two chatted about the movie for a while, Chen Qizong explained his thoughts this time.
It turns out that Hang Lung Properties now wants to expand its real estate business in Xiangjiang. One is to cooperate with Land, and the other is to get some loans from Standard Chartered Bank!
"You have to discuss this matter with Zhou Tao and Yan Wen. I don't have any positions in these two groups, so there is really no way to do this!" Wu Jianye replied politely.
Chen Qizong said with a smile: "Director Wu is being humble. Who in Xiangjiang doesn't know the relationship between you and Yao Guang, Yi Wang and the two major groups!"
Wu Jianye's expression changed slightly, and then he said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is joking, I really have no relationship with Yaoguang and Yiwang Groups!"
"Sorry, there are friends over there, so I won't bother you any more!" After saying that, Wu Jianye left with Zhu Xie.
Chen Qizong looked at Wu Jianye's back with a somewhat complicated expression.
He Hongshen looked at Wu Jianye with a smile and said, "How is it? Are you feeling a little bored?"
At this time, He Hongshen has finished his dance. Although He Hongshen is over 70 years old at this time, he is still immortal.
Wu Jianye smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, just finish it earlier. By the way, I haven't congratulated He Sheng yet!"
The reason why He Hongshen's sword is said to be immortal is because He Hongshen's fourth wife is already pregnant...
He Hongshen laughed and was very proud.
After a while, Zheng Yutong also came over. The three of them were old friends, so naturally they had more topics to talk about.
However, the three of them had just chatted for a while when Wu Jianye saw the Huo family servant who had just received him walk up to Huo Zhenting and said something in a low voice, and then Huo Zhenting came to Wu Jianye.
"Director Wu, there are some things that you may need to handle!"
Wu Jianye was stunned for a moment, wondering if there was anything he needed to handle in the Huo family, and asked, "What is it?"
