At 6 p.m. on February 26, Lee rushed to the Peninsula Hotel to attend a charity gala hosted by HSBC.

Today's Peninsula Hotel security is extremely strict, and this is the first time that Li Guangyu has participated in such an exchange activity in the upper echelons of the Hong Kong River.

The party started at eight o'clock, and when Li Guangyu walked into the banquet hall at seven o'clock, many people had already arrived, and Li Guangyu didn't know any of the people inside, so Li Guangyu found a quiet place to stay, waiting for the arrival of the big people behind.

As the start time of the party gradually approached, those big families in Xiangjiang began to appear. Li Ka-shing, Pao Yugang, Lee Shau Kee, Kwok Tak-sheng, Cheng Yu-tung, Lin Baixin, Stanley Ho, and a number of tycoons walked in, from which you can see how high the status of HSBC is in Hong Kong. Well, well, the current Standard Chartered is also quite strong in Xiangjiang, but Standard Chartered is more like only serving the British-funded consortium.

What is more amazing is that Li Guangyu saw that He Chaoqiong actually came with Stanley Ho, what interests He Chaoqiong.

He Chaoqiong also found Li Guangyu and immediately walked over, and said with a smile at Li Guangyu: "I didn't expect me to come, I'm not surprised, I heard that day that you were going to attend today's party, so I called Daddy to bring me along." ”

Li Guangyu was surprised by He Chaoqiong's arrival, and he was not happy at all, he asked He Chaoqiong to play by himself first, and walked towards Stanley Ho, he had to go over to say hello.

"Hello Uncle Nine!"

Stanley Ho saw Li Guangyu come to say hello, so he said: "Guangyu, you did a good job, now Xiangjiang is praising your company everywhere, come and let me introduce you to some people to get to know you, and you can get along well in the future." ”

Stanley Ho took Li Guangyu to get to know the famous giants in Xiangjiang one by one, allowing Li Guangyu to expand his network.

As soon as 8 o'clock arrived, HSBC Chairman Shen Bi began his speech at the party, welcoming the guests and expressing his gratitude for their support for HSBC's philanthropy, and then announced the start of the HSBC charity auction.

Li Guangyu sat at the sixth table, and the first few tables were either business tycoons or political elites, and Li Guangyu's current family background was not enough to sit with the bigwigs at the previous tables. The strange thing is that He Chaoqiong did not sit with his father, but ran to Li Guangyu's table.

Li Guangyu looked through the auction album tonight and saw one item after another, and he didn't understand the value of these items. But when he came to this party, he couldn't go back empty-handed, so he asked He Chaoqiong next to him: "Cousin, do you have anything you like, tell me, and my cousin will give it to you after the auction." ”

He Chaoqiong looked at the items on the album, and finally took a fancy to a necklace inlaid with sapphires.

In the auction of one item after another, Li Guangyu observed that basically every family would make a sale, and the price was basically higher than the item itself, and he did not see the kind of deliberate raising of the bar in later novels, and the family was on top.

The necklace that He Chaoqiong fancied was worth more than 300,000 yuan, and Li Guangyu shouted an auction price of 1 million, which can be regarded as a contribution to charity.

When the auction is over, everyone starts to carry out activities and communicate with each other, which is the purpose of so many bigwigs here.

The essence of HSBC holding such a party is to pull in the relationship between everyone and HSBC and promote everyone's exchanges and cooperation.

Lee Kwang Woo was also busy in the crowd, and now was a good time for him to build a network, constantly greeting the main members of various families, including the Chen family, who cooperated with Lee Guang Woo's company, and the Wu family, who were assembling and OEM Li Guangyu's arcade machines.

After Li Guangyu returned to his table seat again, the party was almost over, and He Chaoqiong was just eating with her head bored, and she didn't talk to Li Guangyu, with an unhappy expression on her face.

Li Guangyu will not accommodate her, now is not the time for him Li Guangyu to play around. If the family wants to climb to the top of the Xiangjiang River, it is not just about being rich, it must have a broad network of people and weave a big net, so that the family can be called a wealthy family.

And what Li Guangyu lacks the most is the accumulation of contacts, money is not a problem for people like Li Guangyu who know the future development, but the network is not so easy to establish, not that you know each other, the relationship is established, which often requires some conditions and time.

For example, most of Li Guangyu's relationships now rely on the He family, and this relationship is relatively reliable. Take the He family and the Luo family as an example, the two families have established a deep alliance after several generations of mutual marriage, and this in-law relationship is also the most lasting.

The second is the relationship of interest, which is also a relationship between the family and the extensive connection, an industrial supply chain formed by the development of the enterprise, and the relationship is also very stable when your company's development is good.

Such an alliance composed of interests, for example, the more orders Li Guangyu has now, the more orders the Wu family will also get with the orders, so Li Guangyu has to consider pulling more allies in the future, especially Shuang Li, and he must seize the opportunity to pull these two down his chariot in the future.

After the party, He Chaoqiong took the necklace and left in a huff. Stanley Ho saw the unhappiness on his baby daughter's face and immediately got angry and said: "Good daughter, who made you angry, Daddy went to teach him a lesson." ”

When He Chaoqiong saw her father say this, she told Stanley Ho about it, bluntly saying that he came specifically for Li Guangyu, but he didn't accompany him, but kept looking for people everywhere to pull relationships, making people sit there alone.

Stanley Ho comforted after hearing He Chaoqiong's story: "Good girl, you have to understand Guangyu, his family is now supported by himself, if it wasn't for your fifth grandfather a few months ago, maybe the Li family would have been dispersed." Don't look at the newspapers that hold him up to the sky now, what a god of wealth, a genius, and the idol of Xiangjiang teenagers. ”

Stanley Ho sighed: "People who are not the head of the family will not know how much pressure he has, the relationship network needs to be rebuilt, the family business must maintain stable development, and the company's hearts and minds must be stable." If it weren't for the huge profits he generated as soon as he entered the game industry, maybe the company's morale would be scattered now, and his Li family would be finished. ”

"You think he is willing to drop out, he can't help it, he doesn't go to the company every day to watch, and the company's people will be unstable. However, this kid is lucky, he has already multiplied his family's assets several times, maybe Xiangjiang will have a place in his Li family in the future. ”

Pansy Ho listened to Stanley Ho's words, and after meeting several meetings with Li Guangyu in the past few months, she found that her cousin had indeed changed a lot. More often than not, he was dressed in formal clothes rather than boyish clothes, and although he only looked more mature, he could still see a trace of tiredness between his eyebrows.

He Chaoqiong thought about this, and she no longer had Li Guangyu's anger. said to Stanley Ho: "Daddy, you can help Cousin Guangyu more, it's quite tiring to see him all day." ”

Stanley Ho was surprised when he heard He Chaoqiong's words: "You still care about people, he doesn't need my help now, the only thing he lacks now is connections, which needs to be established by himself, and the façade of the He family is his biggest reliance." ”

Li Guangyu didn't know what happened later, and now he is busy going back to sort out tonight's harvest, sorting out the people he made today, his family, and the industry he is engaged in, so as to lay the foundation for future interactions.
