The lights in Xiangjiang are bright at night, and the Peninsula Hotel is particularly lively tonight. As soon as night falls, luxury cars arrive at the door of the hotel, and those who get out of the cars are big bosses from the business and even political circles in Xiangjiang.
Today's reporters in Xiangjiang are also very dedicated. Even though it is already evening, they still do not go home from get off work. Instead, they squat outside the hotel, filming and even interviewing the big guys getting out of the car.
Because today is Saturday, not to mention the weekend tomorrow, it will still be Christmas. Chen Xinyi is also on vacation at home. When she heard that Li Jianhui was going to attend the HSBC Annual Charity Gala, she immediately expressed that she also wanted to participate.
Anyway, you can bring your female companions and family members to such a party. Since Chen Xinyi wanted to go, Li Jianhui took her to the Peninsula Hotel.
He had no idea that the reason why Chen Xinyi came with her was not to attend the party, but to keep an eye on him tonight to prevent him from being seduced by the ladies or ladies present.
As Huihong Game Company develops better and bigger, Chen Xinyi, who cannot be with Li Jianhui for a long time because of her studies, does not feel that her inner sense of security is too high.
Today she and Li Jianhui attended together, firstly to prevent the vixen from getting close to Li Jianhui, and secondly to announce to the top management in Xiangjiang that Li Jianhui already has a significant other, so that these wealthy bosses should not think about recruiting Li Jianhui as their son-in-law.
Even though Li Jianhui has stirred up troubles several times this year, he is only an elite of the younger generation and a rising star. On today's occasion, he is far less attractive to the media than the helmsmen of the four major foreign companies, the four major shipping kings, and the four major families.
Among them are representatives of the three families: He, Luo and Xu.
As for the Li family among the four major families, they are in charge of the Bank of East Asia and have never had a good relationship with HSBC. Naturally, the Li family of East Asia will not come to attend such a party today.
In addition, the future leaders of the four major families are also very famous, and Li Jianhui currently does not have the strength to suppress them.
In addition, Li Jianhui's female companion was Chen Xinyi, and there was no gossip for entertainment reporters to follow. So today, after he and Chen Xinyi got off the car, they did not need to face reporters' questioning and entered the hotel directly.
Walking into the banquet hall, Li Jianhui realized that he thought he had arrived early, and many big shots here were earlier than him.
Zhao Congyan, Dong Haoyun, Luo Decheng, Stanley Ho, Lin Boxin, Zheng Yudong and other big names are already chatting in familiar circles.
As a newcomer, Li Jianhui is quite embarrassed. He is not familiar with any of these big guys, and it is not easy to join these circles rashly.
Chen Xinyi is a very considerate girl. Perhaps because she knew Li Jianhui's situation, she directly found a reason to drag Li Jianhui to a relatively quiet corner to sit down.
Then he started to comment on the food at the party, tasting it himself, and even passing the fruit to Li Jianhui's mouth from time to time.
The big guys are building relationships and talking about cooperation, but Li Jianhui and Chen Xinyi show off their affection on such occasions, and they are not embarrassed at all.
Some boys and girls who came with their fathers were very angry when they saw the two of them. These two went too far, and they actually acted like shit in public.
You must know that the purpose of the family for these young men and women to attend such a party today is to allow them to get to know more talented people from various families, and it is best to get acquainted with one of them. When the time comes, the two families will marry to enhance the strength of the family.
In the past hundred years in Xiangjiang, marriages between wealthy families have been common. Many children of wealthy families even have no freedom of marriage at all. They must obey the arrangements of their elders and can only choose their significant other among wealthy families.
The relationship shown by Li Jianhui and Chen Xinyi is exactly what these wealthy young masters and ladies dream of. Seeing these two people and thinking about their own love, envy, jealousy and hatred rise from the bottom of their hearts at the same time.
Li Jianhui and Chen Xinyi didn't know that they had become the public enemies of the second generation of wealthy families. They were talking sweetly to themselves in this relatively remote and quiet corner, and they had no intention of integrating into these circles.
Regardless of the major Chinese family circles or the four major circles of Jardine, Swire, Wheelock, and Hutchison Whampoa, Li Jianhui did not have much interest in it.
These will be his competitors in the near future, and he has no intention of being inferior to others. He is unwilling to be a marginalized person in a circle.
His allies are Dao Heng, Chen Zhiyong, Pan Zhiyong, Xiang Jia, Guanghua Jianye, and the others are more temporary cooperation.
In these current circles, let’s not mention the big shipping kings for now. Anyway, the world’s shipping winter will come in a few years.
The other major circles are mainly the real estate industry and the financial industry, and Li Jianhui will not give up on either of these. In addition, he also has Dao Heng and Guanghua Jianye as allies, so he does not need to find allies in this area.
Within a circle, too much industrial homogeneity is not conducive to internal unity.
This can be seen from these circles today. Each of the four major foreign companies has its own circle, and the same is true for several big bosses of Chinese families.
In addition to these top bosses, the leaders of Hong Kong's major wealthy families also integrated into these circles after their arrival. Only Li Jianhui, an outlier, does not have his own circle here and does not choose to integrate into other circles.
HSBC organizes such a party every year. First, it increases everyone's relationship with HSBC and ties these big guys to HSBC's chariot.
Secondly, it also provides everyone with a platform for cooperation and communication. It is usually difficult to have so many big guys gather together. Today is a good time to establish connections and discuss cooperation.
But Li Jianhui was indifferent to this and just watched as a spectator. It seemed that there was no one in the banquet hall worthy of his special friendship.
His performance was also noticed by these big guys, who also labeled him as young and frivolous.
Thinking about these big guys, on an occasion like today, Li Jianhui should have tried every means to make friends with them, and they would then take advantage of the situation to show goodwill to them and establish initial contact with them.
However, Li Jianhui didn't seem to take them seriously and had no interest in getting to know them at all. This made the big bosses who felt good about themselves happy.
And if Li Jianhui doesn't come to get to know them, they naturally won't lower themselves to get to know Li Jianhui.
This also led to a strange phenomenon in the banquet hall. Various circles were chatting enthusiastically, but Li Jianhui and Chen Xinyi seemed quite quiet here. Those who didn't know it thought the lovers were here for dinner.
As today's host, Chief Executive Wang Shenbi naturally noticed the situation in the banquet hall. He also lamented that his invitation to Li Jianhui was a bit hasty.
Although this guy is really talented in business, the development of Huihong Game Company far exceeds the imagination of the outside world.
But after all, Li Jianhui is still a boy under seventeen. With the blessing of Huihong Game Company's achievements, he is too proud and unwilling to lower his head to make friends with these big guys.
In addition, he was not born into a wealthy family, and his industry is in the gaming industry that no one else in Hong Kong is engaged in. He has no cooperation with these big guys, so he has no connections at all in today's situation.
He originally hoped that this party would help Li Jianhui expand his network and build a relationship between Li Jianhui and HSBC, but now it seems that the plan has failed.
And through observation and the news about Huihong Game Company these days, he also gave up on wooing Li Jianhui.
He knew very well that in a short period of time, this young man was tightly tied to Daoheng Bank's ship, and it was impossible to choose HSBC.
And with this young man's ambition, as long as it develops smoothly, the banking industry will definitely not let him go, and HSBC will only have one more strong competitor in the future.
