While Xu Zhi and Wu Guangzheng were talking nonsense, Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng, Li Shauji and others were also chatting casually, although they could talk about business on this occasion, it was impossible to talk about it in detail, and it was more about the macro economy, housing price trends and so on.

"It's so lively here!" a loud voice came, and everyone turned their heads to look.

In the 60-70s, the ship king Bao Yugang was famous overseas, after the 80s, Li Jiacheng was called the superman of Xiangjiang, but there is one person, even if the wealth is not as good as the two, but the fame and influence are great, Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng are far inferior.

Huo Yingdong was born in Xiangjiang, dropped out of school to work due to the influence of World War II, and later continued to run grocery stores, maritime businesses, real estate and other businesses.

In the 50s of the 20th century, Huo Yingdong pioneered the pre-sale of "pre-sale", installment payment, shared area and other business methods, which made great contributions to the development of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang.

Seeing that it was Huo Yingdong, everyone immediately stopped their conversation, and stepped forward to say a few polite words, and after a while, Huo Yingdong pulled out and came to Bao Yugang and others.

"Bao Sheng, long time no see. Huo Yingdong came over to say hello.

Bao Yugang laughed and said, "Huo Sheng, you too, I heard that you went on a trip?"

Huo Yingdong replied: "Yes, I recently went to the north and went around again, and I saw a lot of scenery!"

Bao Yugang smiled: "Yes, it's a pity that I don't have time, otherwise we can go together." ”

Huo Yingdong glanced at Wu Guangzheng beside Bao Yugang and said: "Sooner or later, the world is full of young people, we old men should retire early, and we shouldn't think about business every day." ”

"How can it be so easy!" Bao Yugang sighed.

Huo Yingdong's age is actually 5 years younger than Bao Yugang, but because he was suppressed by the Hong Kong government at that time in the 60s and 70s, Huo Yingdong invested and built the Chinese Bank in Central at that time, there was no way to connect water and electricity, and other businesses were also troubled.

It wasn't until the 70s, when Sino-US relations broke the ice, the mainland began to ease relations with the West, and the British government in Hong Kong no longer targeted pro-northern businessmen, that Huo Yingdong slowly became active, but he has been cultivating himself for a long time and has not attached so much importance to money.

Bao Yugang turned around and introduced Huo Yingdong: "Huo Sheng, this is Xu Zhi, you should have heard his name." ”

Huo Yingdong's eyes lit up, he glanced at Xu Zhi, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Xu Sheng has made a lot of dollars in the United States, which has increased the prestige of our Xiangjiang!"

Xu Zhidao: "It's not that exaggerated, I'm just a junior in the mall, and I have to learn more in the future!"

Huo Yingdong smiled: "No problem, I heard that you also opened a real estate company, so you are also preparing to enter the real estate industry?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, I have this plan." ”

Huo Yingdong said: "Heroes are teenagers, it seems that other real estate businessmen in Xiangjiang are going to worry about it again."

However, Xu Sheng should also know that the north is reforming and opening up, and there are many opportunities in it, and now the mainland government is very welcoming to investors in Xiangjiang, and the policy is also very good, Xu Sheng can go and see, maybe there is a better investment!"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pick a time to take a look." ”

"So be it. Huo Yingdong thought for a while and said: "Next Tuesday, I will invite many rich people to chat about family life in my mansion, Xu Sheng can also come over if he is free, although there are many people at the party of the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, it is not suitable for detailed discussion." ”

"No problem!" Xu Zhi pondered for a while, but nodded in agreement!

"Dingding............dingding"

There was a sound, this was the official start of the banquet, and countless waiters were holding plates of champagne glasses, and everyone present had a glass in their hands.

Hong Kong Governor MacLehose walked to the front row, and after a few words with the host, he took the microphone, and after blowing a few times, he said with a smile: "Gentlemen, ladies, thank you very much for being able to come here to participate in this charity party for the elderly and orphans, I thank you on behalf of these people!"

After speaking, he bowed slightly on the presiding stage.

"Papapa......" The people below applauded.

MacLeho stood on the podium, enjoying the applause below, and after a while, he raised his right hand and opened his palm, signaling everyone to stop.

After the applause stopped, MacLehose coughed dryly and said, "Although I am from the UK, Xiangjiang is my second hometown, and from the first day I came here, I was determined to make this city the best city in Asia."

After 5 years of hard work and the cooperation of everyone in the audience, Xiangjiang is now the most brilliant pearl of the British Empire in Asia, but this is only the beginning, and we have the obligation to maintain the prosperity of Xiangjiang.

From a small fishing village more than a hundred years ago to a world-famous metropolis, we in the UK .................."

If you sit here, Xu Zhi is estimated to be able to listen and doze off, but unfortunately this is a party and not a banquet, everyone is standing, there is a restaurant next door, and those who are willing to eat after the party can go to have a meal.

However, MacLehose is giving a passionate speech, and it seems a little too shameful to run next door to rest at this time.

After waiting for a while, MacLehose slowly finished speaking, although this guy didn't say it explicitly, but he praised his motherland, Britain's contribution to Xiangjiang, and said that except for the United Kingdom, any other country to manage Xiangjiang is not good, and it is not in the interests of everyone here.

However, a politician is a politician, he expressed his meaning, everyone understood what he meant, but he didn't say anything directly, and it is estimated that the officials in the mainland came, and there was no way to refute it, after all, people didn't say anything directly, and the things they said were all things that happened before, although some put all the credit on the British, but it was not too much of a problem.

But this theory is bullshit, robbing someone else's house, and then decorating it well, the house will become beautiful?

The robber theory is nothing more than that!

After MacLehose stepped down after his speech, members of the International Red Cross also took the stage to give a rambling speech, and then the charity auction officially began
