Chapter 245: Full Moon Feast

Beginning at 6 p.m., Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing greeted the guests outside the Peninsula Hotel. In the banquet hall, He Zuozhi, Cao Wenjin and Stanley Ho were responsible for accompanying the guests.

Due to the continuous increase of Li Guangyu's influence and the network of his father-in-law Cao Wenjin in Southeast Asia, there are also a lot of Chinese families in Southeast Asia this time, including Malaysia and Thailand, the top Chinese families in Malaysia and Thailand have come to Hong Kong to attend the dinner.

When Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing were greeting the guests outside, inside the banquet, the ladies of the heads of these families who came also chatted with their own circles. There are many who will always come to Cao Zhou Meiqi's side first to take a look at the little guy he is holding.

After Zheng Yutong's wife Zhou Cuiying came here, she looked at Li Songtao and said to Cao Zhou Meiqi with a smile: "Meiqi, this little family looks so cute." ”

Cao Zhou Meiqi said with a smile: "Sister Cuiying, isn't Zhigang of the pure family also very cute? You don't manage the jewelry company anymore, and you are dedicated to taking care of your grandchildren at home, I envy you very much." ”

After the birth of her eldest grandson Zheng Zhigang this year, Zhou Cuiying put down the management of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company and took care of Zhou Zhigang with her eldest daughter-in-law at home, and she was in a very good mood.

Zhou Cuiying said, "Meiqi, now that I have a grandson with me, after Weizu and Weide get married, you will be busy, and you won't be able to take care of it then." ”

While the two were talking, Li Ka-shing's wife Zhuang Mingyue also came here, and after greeting Zhou Cuiying and Cao Zhou Meiqi, she said, "Sister Cuiying, Sister Meiqi, I really envy you for having a third generation, my two boys haven't grown up yet, I don't know how many years it will take, I can be like you, and take care of my grandchildren at home with peace of mind." ”

On Cao Wenjin's side, there are many families related to shipping, among which Bao Yugang, Zhao Congyan, Dong Haoyun, Xu Shixun and other new and old ship kings are here to chat about the topic of shipping.

Zhao Congyan asked, "Yugang, now that you have put your main energy on the Wharf side and reduced the investment on the shipping side, what do you think about the future shipping industry?"

Bao Yugang said with a smile, "I'm just a number of investments, diversify risks, if you want to talk about the future of the shipping industry, Congyan, you are asking the wrong person." Wen Jin was next to him, he must have some ideas, he was starting to reduce the number of ships in his hands now. ”

Cao Wenjin said, "I am also eyeing the profits of the real estate industry, and you don't know the real estate industry in Xiangjiang today, the price is rising every month, and I am also learning from Yugang." It's just that I don't have the ability to acquire the group in the hands of the British-funded consortium, so I can only build a new real estate group by myself, so that Guangyu's group can develop. ”

After listening to these words, these people here knew that Bao Yugang and Cao Wenjin were not optimistic about the shipping industry in the next ten years or so.

Some of them have a different view from Pao Yugang and others, they are still expanding the size of the group's fleet, and they still believe that with the development of the economy, the shipping industry will only become more and more prosperous, and it is a good time for the group to expand.

Zhao Congyan asked Dong Haoyun, "Haoyun, the 5.67 million ton giant ship ordered by your group in Japan is about to be launched, and the transportation tonnage of your fleet will really become the first in Xiangjiang at that time." ”

Dong Haoyun is still very happy that his fleet can surpass the king of chartered ships, he said, "This is also Yugang and Wenjin who gave me this opportunity by reducing their own fleet, and the news from Japan that this giant ship can be launched in mid-December." ”

Cao Wenjin did not persuade these old friends to reduce their investment in the fleet, after all, no one can be sure that global shipping will enter a cold period in the future. If the shipping industry continues to thrive, few people will blame themselves for it.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Li Guangyu said in his speech at the dinner, "Thank you to all the guests and elders for coming to attend the full moon banquet of Songtao, and thank you for your love and blessings to him." ”

……

After the completion of the congratulatory speech, the evening feast officially began, and Li Guangyu came to the Governor of Xiangjiang, MacLehose, and said to him, "Mr. MacLehose, thank you for coming today. ”

MacLehose said, "Mr. Li, you are welcome, I am not only representing myself this time, but also our Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and our Majesty the Queen asked me to send my blessings to Li Gongzi on their behalf, Her Majesty hopes that the next time you go to England, you can bring Lady Li and Li Gongzi with you, and Her Majesty also wants to meet them." ”

Lee Kwang Woo said, "Mr. MacLehose, thank Her Majesty and Prime Minister Thatcher for your concern, please tell Her Majesty that the next time I go to England, I will definitely take Wei Qing and Song Tao to Buckingham Palace to visit Her Majesty." ”

Later, Li Guangyu expressed his gratitude to Luo Cheng, who was also a guest who accompanied the Xiangjiang government mainly for Li Guangyu today, after all, Luo Cheng himself was also a member of the Legislative Yuan.

After that, Li Guangyu came to Zheng Dong of the Xinhua News Agency, Hu Wenbin of the Zhonghua News Agency, Qiying Sumitomo, and Fujiwara Yamaken to express his gratitude for their arrival.

The dinner party did not end until about 11 o'clock in the evening, and after seeing off the major families in Xiangjiang, Li Guangyu arranged for people to lead the guests from other regions to the rooms prepared for them to rest.

When Li Guangyu instructed Gan Qin to send Elanlee Herrington, who came to Goldman Sachs for the dinner, she said, "Mr. Li, do you have time tomorrow afternoon, I hope to visit you in your group." ”

Li Guangyu said, "Ms. Hairington, I will be waiting for you tomorrow afternoon at the Jiayi Building. ”

Elanlee Hairington said, "Then I won't bother you, I'll take my leave first,"

The reason why Elanlee Helrington came to Hong Kong this time is not only to represent Goldman Sachs to attend the full moon wine of Li Guangyu's child, but also to take on the role of president of Goldman Sachs Greater China, responsible for Goldman Sachs' affairs in Treasure Island, Lisboa, Hong Kong and the future mainland.

Goldman Sachs also took into account Li Guangyu's influence in these regions, so he specially sent Elanly Herrington, who had a relationship with Li Guangyu, to participate in Li Songtao's full moon wine, send Goldman Sachs' blessings, and let her serve as the president of Greater China, so as to facilitate the contact between Goldman Sachs and Li Guangyu.

When Li Guangyu finished arranging for the guests to return home with Cao Weiqing, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. As for the little guy, he had already been brought back by He Jin to sleep.

At today's dinner, the little guy is also angry, so many people came to see him, some would hug him, suddenly contacted so many people, there was not too much crying, most of the time he seemed very happy.
