In the evening, Mong Kok East, Mount Dogalee, Kowloon!
It is also called Kadoorie Hill, named after the Kadoorie family in Hong Kong. Although it is not as well-known as Repulse Bay, Mid-Levels, Peak and other famous luxury residential areas in Hong Kong, in fact the people who live here are either rich or noble.
Surrounded by greenery on Kadoorie Hill, the luxury homes are mostly low-density residences and independent bungalows with private gardens. It can be described as an oasis in a busy city.
Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang were sitting in the car. Lin Feng and Qin Peng were sitting in front. They drove forward slowly and soon stopped in front of a garden villa.
The door of the villa was open. In front of Chu Huan's car, luxury cars drove in slowly. Lin Feng drove into the villa and found the parking lot.
Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang got out of the car.
Under the leadership of the servants of the Tang Dynasty, the two came to the hall where the reception was held today.
Walking into the door, the place is brightly lit, and pairs of men and women in formal wear are walking among the crowd with wine glasses in their hands, chatting with their familiar friends with smiles on their faces.
When Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang walked in, there was a brief silence in the hall, and many people were looking at Chu Huan intentionally or unintentionally.
Obviously, by this time everyone already knew that Chu Huan would appear here tonight.
After seeing Chu Huan, a young man came over with a smile on his face, patted Chu Huan's shoulder heavily, and spoke affectionately.
"You kid can do it. You have become the youngest and second largest shareholder of a listed company in Hong Kong without making any noise!"
Chu Huan had also recognized the identity of the other party at this time. He was Tang Yunian, the only son of Tang Jiqian, who was slightly older than Chu Huan.
In fact, the two of them didn't have much intersection before this, but they both belong to the younger generation in Xiangjiang, and their families are doing the same business, so it is inevitable that there will be some intersection.
"It's just good luck, not worth mentioning!" Chu Huan said modestly.
The Tang family, among the many wealthy families in Xiangjiang, is inconspicuous, but in fact this family is just low-key.
Long before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Tang family was one of the four major families in Liangxi. The other three major families were Rong, Xue, and Yang!
The most famous among them is naturally the Rong family!
The Tang family mainly has two branches, starting with Tang Jiqian's grandfather's generation. Tang Jiqian's grandfather left Tang Jiqian's branch, and the other branch of the Tang family in Xiangjiang... also belongs to Tang Yunian's generation.
Tang Yingnian will become the director of the Hong Kong Financial Secretary in the future!
It was Tang Jiqian's intention to have Tang Yunian come over to entertain Chu Huan. Chu Huan was still too young. If Tang Jiqian came out to greet Chu Huan in person, it would look ugly.
"You two should be close now, right?"
Tang Yunian looked at Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang and asked with a smile.
"We are still in school, we probably have to wait until after graduation!" Chu Huan understood what Tang Yunian meant.
After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, under the leadership of Tang Yunian, Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang came to Tang Jiqian's side.
"Uncle Tang!"
Both of them called Tang Ji Qiandao very politely.
After Tang Jiqian saw Chu Huan and the two of them, he also laughed: "I said you two should be here. How come there is no traffic jam on the way here?"
This is purely about looking for a topic. Although Chu Huan's identity has come up now, in fact, compared with Tang Jiqian and others, he is still far behind.
What these people value is Chu Huan's future, not the present.
After Chu Huan replied politely, Tang Jiqian introduced the people around him to Chu Huan.
Judging from the friends around Tang Jiqian, it can also be seen that most of his friends are from the older generation of wealthy families in Xiangjiang.
"This is the simple and strong chairman of Bank of East Asia."
The first important person Tang Jiqian introduced to Chu Huan was the current head of the Jian family, the first generation of top wealthy families in Hong Kong.
In 1919, Jian Dongpu of the Jian family, Feng Pingshan of the Feng family, and Li Guanchun of the Li family jointly founded the Hong Kong Bank of East Asia. After the establishment of the Bank of East Asia, Jian Dongpu gradually took over power because of his familiarity with banking business, while Feng Pingshan gave up his rights.
, create your own business.
After Jian Dongpu's death, Jian Yueqiang became the chairman of the board of directors of Bank of East Asia. After Feng Pingshan's death, his son Feng Bingfen reorganized the family business and founded Feng Bingfen Group.
As an aside, Kan Yueqiang has a very high influence on the British people. It is said that in 1974, Kan Yueqiang went to England to attend a meeting. It happened that the then Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, was on vacation in Scotland. MacLehose asked Kanyueqiang to go to him.
While playing at the farm and chatting at home, we talked about the corruption problem in Xiangjiang, and we all felt that a special organization should be set up to deal with it.
After returning to Hong Kong, MacLehose began to organize and establish the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Whether the matter is true or not is unknown, but it can be seen from this that Jian Yueqiang's influence in Hong Kong is obvious.
"Uncle Jian, hello!" Chu Huan could only chat with everyone here as a junior.
Jian Yue forced a smile and said: "Young people are awesome. From now on, Xiangjiang will be your young people's world. Work harder!"
"Uncle Jian is joking!" Chu Huan said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Tang Jiqian then introduced Ma's Department Store to Chu Huan. As one of the largest department stores in Hong Kong, Ma's also has a huge influence in Hong Kong.
There is also Li Mingze of the Li family, one of the first four major families in Xiangjiang.
In 1928, the head of the Lee family, Lee Hysan, was assassinated by a gunman when he was passing by Wellington Street in Central to go to the club for lunch. He died of serious injuries on the spot. The 23-year-old Lee Ming-ze rushed back from England.
Started to get involved in the family business.
In addition, Li Mingze's younger brother Li Xiaohe co-founded the famous wireless TV station with Shao Yifu!
Some people have even said that the Lee family is the largest landowner in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong!
"Hello Uncle Li!" Chu Huan continued to say hello.
Li Mingze smiled and said: "Huanzi shocked us old people as soon as he took action."
What could Chu Huan say? He naturally continued to be modest.
Later, Chu Huan met the descendants of the Yu family of Yu Ren Tang in Xiangjiang. Yu Ren Tang is most famous for its "Bai Feng Pill" and "Bao Ying Dan", which are sold well in Hong Kong and overseas.
But what Chu Huan found interesting was that here Chu Huan also met Lin Baixin from Lixin Garments.
Lai Sun Garment was established before the war, but it was just a small factory at the time. After Lin Baixin took over, he actively expanded overseas markets. At that time, he received an order from East Africa, ordering 700 dozen shirts and requiring delivery within a limited time. At that time, every day in Hong Kong
There are only ordinary ships sailing from Japan to East Africa via the Xiangjiang River every month, and they only stay in Xiangjiang for three or four days.
Lai Sun immediately ordered man-made fiber fabrics from Japan. At that time, the whole factory worked all night long. They went out for sewing early in the morning, then returned to the factory to tie the collar, tack buttons... and finally packaged.
It was this single business that established Lixin Garments.
However, for future generations, their understanding of Lin Baixin comes more from his son Lin Jianyue, especially the scandal between Lin Jianyue and Wang Zuxian...
Lin’s mother’s words: Just treat your son as PJ!
It directly ruined the acting career of King Zuxian...
After chatting with these business tycoons in Xiangjiang for a while and establishing preliminary interpersonal relationships, Chu Huan left here with Cao Yunshang and Tang Yunian.
"There's nothing interesting here. I've made an appointment with a few friends to sit down at the Jade Club later. Ah Huan, Yun Shang, how about you two come together!?"
Tang Yunian sent an invitation to Chu Huan.
The Jade Club is an early club established in Xiangjiang. Only celebrities in Xiangjiang cannot enter.
Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang looked at each other, and Chu Huan said: "The guest does as the host does."
"Haha, I knew you wouldn't refuse, Ah Huan." Tang Yunian was obviously very happy with Chu Huan's decision.
Although he agreed to Tang Yunian's invitation, Chu Huan still had to continue his performance here before the reception was over.
At such a cocktail party, there won't be the kind of show-off and slap-in-the-face plots in novels. Rich people still have a face and know what to do on what occasion.
If it were a cocktail party in the entertainment industry, it might happen, but in a formal business cocktail party like this, even if everyone has any grudges privately, it would be impossible to show them.
Because that will only embarrass yourself and won't do any good.
After Chu Huan first collected a wave of connections, he found Jian Yueqiang, who was temporarily alone.
"When your father was doing business, he often cooperated with our Bank of East Asia. Unfortunately, Chu Tianxiao later chose Overseas Trust Bank!" Jian Yueqiang saw Chu Huan coming over and started greeting with a smile.
This is actually one of Chu Huan's advantages. After re-entering this circle, the connections that Chu Huan's father left for him will become his connections as long as Chu Huan manages them properly.
"I also heard my father say that I received a lot of help from Uncle Jian back then." Chu Huan continued.
After the two briefly chatted for a few words, Chu Huan told Jian Yueqiang about his purpose of visiting.
"Uncle Jian, my nephew wants to discuss some business matters with you. I wonder if Uncle Jian is free tomorrow morning?"
Jian Yueqiang was not too surprised by Chu Huan's request. In Jian Yueqiang's opinion, a young man like Chu Huan who suddenly succeeded must be very arrogant. Arrogant people like to take risks, and if Chu Huan
If you have this idea, you need a lot of money.
At this time, all the people in Xiangjiang believed that if Chu Huan could become the second largest shareholder of Jiahu Textile, he must have already spent all his cash. Therefore, if Chu Huan wanted to take any action, he needed to have cash in hand.
In this case, it is understandable that Chu Huan found him.
Not only was Jian Yueqiang not surprised, he was also very happy. From the current point of view, Jiahu Textile's stock was very valuable, and if Chu Huan wanted to get a large amount of funds from the bank, he must have collateral.
In addition to the shares of Jiahu Textile, what else can he pledge?
"Okay, I have some time tomorrow morning, you can just come to the company to find me!" Jian Yue forced a smile.
Chu Huan said: "Then thank you Uncle Jian first!"
After Chu Huan left, Tang Jiqian came to Jian Yueqiang: "What do you think?"
Jian Yueqiang smiled and said: "He is a young man with ideas, but we still have to see what happens next. Taking too big a step is not always a good thing!"
Tang Jiqian smiled and nodded: "Then let's continue looking!"
