Chapter five hundred and forty fifth position determines marriage
Early this weekend, Liu Xiaojuan went to Li Chunrong's residence to help clean up the house and prepare today's dinner.
Although everyone in the family knew that Li Chunrong already had a boyfriend, and also knew some of Du Wenxiong's situation, after all, it was the first time that Li Chunrong brought her boyfriend to the house, so the Li family naturally took it very seriously.
Not only Liu Xiaojuan, but also Li Chunxue went to help in the morning. Li Jianyang, Li Jianhui, and Li Chunmei would also go there in the afternoon, waiting for Li Chunrong to return with Du Wenxiong at 6 p.m.
Not to mention the preparations made by the Li family in Li Chunrong's villa, Du Wenxiong, who was buying gifts with Li Chunrong in Mong Kok, was feeling a little nervous.
Although he had known about Li Chunrong's family situation for a long time, he was still a little nervous when he actually went to meet Li Chunrong's family.
After all, what we have to face tonight is not only Li Chunrong’s mother, but also her younger brother Li Jianhui, a business leader in Hong Kong, a representative of the Chinese business community, and the helmsman of the largest family in Hong Kong.
There are also the eldest sister Li Chunxue, the richest female businesswoman in Hong Kong, and the eldest brother-in-law Zhang Guangwen, the head of one of the top ten families in Hong Kong.
His eldest brother Li Jianyang is also a rich man with a net worth of billions of Hong Kong dollars. Although he is an entrepreneurial generation, the Xinyang Li family has become famous in Hong Kong.
The second sister, Li Chunrong, has also become famous in the venture capital industry in the past two years. The second brother-in-law, Wang Shanbin, is also at the helm of an infant products group with a market value of billions of Hong Kong dollars. The reputation of the Xinbin Wang family has also grown rapidly in Hong Kong in the past two years.
Although strictly speaking, these cannot be regarded as truly wealthy families. After all, their rise is too short, and they cannot compare with the Du family.
But its strength has already surpassed or rivaled those families that have been inherited for hundreds of years, and the Du family can't even see their backs.
"Wenxiong, it's not like you don't know my mother's situation. Just buy whatever you like. There's no need to consider this or that."
"Chunrong, after all, this is my first time to meet my aunt, so I need to leave a good impression. Please give me some reference."
Li Chunrong was speechless. She was just meeting her family. Is she so solemn and nervous?
"If you have time to think about this gift, why don't you think more about how to deal with my eldest sister and little brother?
After all, the relationship between your Du family's camp and my younger brother and eldest sister's camp is not very friendly, especially in recent months.
I'm afraid your father still holds grudges against me, Jianrong Real Estate, after all, Zhou Xinyue ruthlessly killed Huayi Real Estate, a subsidiary of your Du family."
Hearing this, Du Wenxiong was even more upset. In the past few months since he returned to Hong Kong after graduating from college, he also learned more about the inside story of the upper class in Hong Kong, especially the relationship between several major business groups.
Li Chunrong's eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, eldest brother, and younger brother are all members of the Tung Wah Association. Her younger brother is the president of the Tung Wah Association, and her eldest brother-in-law is the executive director of the Tung Wah Association.
But his Du family is a member of the Xianghua Association, and his father is also a core member of the Xianghua Association and the executive director of the Xianghua Association.
It is no secret that the Tung Wah Association has joined forces with the Sun Hung, New Asia, and Nanyang associations to target the Heung Wah Association among the upper echelons of Hong Kong, and the relationship between the two parties has also reached a freezing point.
I'm afraid he needs to decide his position today. If he is like his father, it may be difficult for him to get married to Li Chunrong.
To be honest, it is really difficult for him to decide at the moment. If he chooses love, he is destined to miss the Du family assets. Although he knows very well that with the support of Li Jianhui, it is not difficult to rise. This can be seen with Li Jianyang and Li Chunmei.
But there is a problem here. Just like the current Li Chunmei family, although Wang Shanbin manages the industry, the main shares of Xinbin Holdings and Beibei Group are owned by Li Chunmei. Wang Shanbin is more like a professional manager.
He knows very well that if he marries Li Chunrong, the assets belonging to Li Chunrong are unlikely to belong to him. In the future, he will more likely become a senior professional manager like Wang Shanbin.
Of course, he also knew that if the relationship between the two could continue, whether the assets belonged to Li Chunrong or his own, they would belong to their children in the future. In this regard, Li Chunrong's dowry could be said to be very generous.
In the car heading to Li Chunrong's villa, Du Wenxiong asked: "Chunrong, what do you think of Beibian and Xianghua? What is the attitude of Jianhui and eldest sister?"
"Wenxiong, you shouldn't ask me and my eldest sister and younger brother what they think, but you should ask yourself what you think in your heart. You must think carefully about this. I don't want us to quarrel because of these things in the future, and I don't even want it to happen in the future.
Because of this, you are at war with the eldest sister and the younger brothers."
Li Chunrong will not try to influence Du Wenxiong's position now by relying on her feelings, lest conflicts arise in the future.
She is no longer the person she was two years ago. She no longer has the innocence to abandon everything for love. There is absolutely no way she would choose to stand on the opposite side of her siblings for the sake of marriage.
Moreover, she herself strongly supports the stance of Li Jianhui and others, and the family she raises in the future will definitely be a member of the Tung Wah Association.
As Li Jianhui's sister, her marriage is no longer just about having feelings. It also involves many, many things. With different positions, even if the relationship is touching, it will only end in tragedy.
Although the Li family and the Du family were not at odds with each other, Li Chunrong could not help but consider this factor.
"I know that you siblings have lived in Tiu Keng Ling since you were young, and the education and ideas you received are significantly different from those in other areas.
But I..."
"You don't need to say anything, I understand your thoughts, and I admire your choice. You may be the object of admiration by everyone in the future.
It's just that I don't think we need to continue. Don't expect to be able to influence the attitudes of Jianhui and Sister through me. I will never become a tool for you to use.
No matter what education or ideas we Tiu Keng Ling people have received, we have never asked you for a sip of water or a bowl of rice in the past decades."
Originally, Du Wenxiong hoped to reach an agreement with Li Chunrong first, but he did not expect to receive such a strong response from Li Chunrong before he finished speaking.
"Chunrong, please listen to what I have to say. I am not against Jianhui's position.
And to be honest, Jianhui, who grew up in Tiu Keng Ling, can treat the north with his current attitude, which is extremely righteous.
…”
"Okay, you should go back and be your young master of the Du family. Not only Jianhui and the eldest sister are unwilling to place their hopes on each other's kindness, but I, Li Chunrong, also don't want to.
I don't have such big ideals or ambitions, and I can't even sacrifice my family for everyone. I just hope that my family can be safe and not worry about material life.
I wonder if you know about the herbal tea brand recently acquired by Taota Group. This brand now belongs to Taoda Group around the world, but not in the north. Do you know the reason for this?"
Although Du Wenxiong had a thousand words in his heart, he could not come up with any words to refute Li Chunrong's fact.
Of course, he could also say that it is already in the past, what happened in the past will never happen again, and everyone should look forward, but he knows very well how feeble this statement is.
Neither he nor Li Chunrong is Li Jianhui. They don't know the development situation in the following decades, so they are naturally at a loss about future development.
Li Jianhui, on the other hand, was too ambitious. He knew very well that the North would never allow a huge private monopoly consortium to take root within it, so his attitude towards the North was naturally fickle, which also caused trouble to many people.
