776 [Clan Association]
Hong Kong, December---
Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, as an international metropolis, although Hong Kong is very capitalized in the West, it still maintains a very strong festival customs in traditional festivals, such as dragon and lion dances, and relatives and friends.
And before the Chinese New Year in Hong Kong, the most common is all kinds of "clan associations". For Hong Kong people with a strong sense of clan kinship, such an event must be held before the Chinese New Year to be considered a success.
Nearly half of Hong Kong's population of 7 million people come from Cantonese-speaking areas, with Cantonese-speaking Cantonese people being the largest ethnic group in Hong Kong, followed by the Hakka people, who account for more than a quarter of Hong Kong's population, and the Chaoshan people, who account for more than one-tenth of Hong Kong's population.
Therefore, the annual clan meeting is basically the best time for these three ethnic groups to show their power in Hong Kong.
What's more, this year happens to be the triennial election of the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, so in order to win over relatives and friends and vote in groups, these clan associations are even more lively.
Among the many clan associations, the Huo clan association is very famous, because the three presidents of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce are all members of their clan associations--- Huo Yingdong.
In the past few years that Huo Yingdong has been in charge of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce of Hong Kong, as a local business celebrity in Hong Kong, he has basically had a close relationship with the mainland, so he seems to be very calm in dealing with the issue of the return of 97, to be precise, he has confidence in his heart.
On the contrary, those businessmen who like to embrace the British government and the British godfather are uneasy one by one, fearing that they will be settled after the return.
Therefore, for the Huo clan association, Huo Yingdong's resignation as president this time has a huge impact, and who can lead the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to maintain the status of the chamber of commerce in the return has become the biggest problem.
Therefore, whether it is for the business community or for the political community, the holding of the Huo clan meeting this time is of great significance--- you can get a glimpse of the successor of Huo Dagang.
......
On the day of the Huo clan meeting---
Located in the western suburbs of Sha Tin, Hong Kong, the Fok Clan Ancestral Hall.
The originally deserted Huo clan ancestral hall is particularly lively today.
A group of men in black dressed in black and wearing sunglasses guarded the surroundings.
Those who are familiar with the Huo family's style know that the bigwig Huo Yingdong has always scoffed at things like hiring bodyguards.
In his opinion, if you do too many evil things, even if you hire a thousand bodyguards, you will not be able to protect you; as long as you stand up to the sky and have a clear conscience, you can walk sideways between heaven and earth.
But today is different, in addition to him Huo Boss, there are many Huo family members, as well as guests who were invited.
So during the security period, Huo Dagang still acquiesced to this airtight security measure.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Huo clan people arrived one after another.
To tell the truth, the Huo family is not a big family in Hong Kong, and the branches are also very messy, from the mainland to Hong Kong, as well as Hong Kong, and even overseas, these messy Huo clan people all rely on different genealogies, because each other's interests are slowly combined to form a big family.
As a well-known boss in Hong Kong, Huo Yingdong has become the leader of the clan association, commonly known as the "leading brother".
As an elder, Huo Yingdong led everyone to worship the ancestors and ancestors in the ancestral hall, and then said a few words to seventy or eighty clansmen and relatives.
At this time, someone walked over and whispered a few words to him.
Big Huo smiled and said, "Please let him in." ”
The people of the Huo clan knew that Big Huo had something to talk about, so they went out very consciously.
Soon, Li Wannian, who was nominated as a candidate for president this time, walked in with his son Lin Jiahao, who is also the current helmsman of the Lin family.
Seeing Big Guy Huo, Lin Wannian took his son to say hello first.
To tell the truth, although Lin Wannian is very famous in Hong Kong, he is still one level lower than Huo Da Lao, to be precise, Lin Wannian's level is about the same as Huo Da Lao's three sons, but this time Huo Da Lao's nomination of the president was not chosen from his family, but he Lin Wannian was chosen, which made Lin Wannian grateful.
Therefore, as soon as the clan meeting was held this time, Lin Wannian took the initiative to bring his son to greet him, which was also an opportunity to contact his feelings.
After serving tea, Lin Wannian didn't talk nonsense, he knew that Boss Huo was a person who did things more simply, and he liked people to go straight to the point.
Lin Wannian told Big Guy Huo that he hoped to win the presidential election, but Fu Yunheng and Li Chaoren were both very strong opponents. It's okay for Fu Yunheng to say something about his in-laws, but that Li Chaoren is really powerful, and now he is also one of the top two bigwigs in the Hong Kong real estate industry, plus his Chaoshan identity, I am afraid that many people will support him at that time.
After listening to Lin Wannian's words, Big Guy Huo didn't say anything, but picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Putting down the teacup, Big Guy Huo glanced at Lin Wannian, who was full of expectation, and said: "I have lived for so long and understand one thing, there is nothing in this world that cannot be done, and nothing is absolute." ”
Lin Wannian: "Huo Lao, I don't understand what you mean by this. ”
Lin Jiahao said next to him: "Abba, I think Uncle Huo is trying to tell you that although Li Chaoren is strong, we are not without the certainty of victory. At least our Lin family has a good relationship with the mainland, and you have recently donated a few universities and a few welfare homes in the mainland, which are all merits. ”
Lin Wannian glanced at his son, and then looked at Big Guy Huo, "Having said that, I'm still a little uneasy, after all, Li Superman is not an ordinary person, Superman, of course he is very sharp!"
Big Huo smiled, "You came to me to talk about this, are you asking for help, or looking for comfort?"
"No, I'm here to ask for advice. ”
Lin Jiahao said: "Abba, don't hide it anymore, Uncle Huo is who, he will understand your mind as soon as you come." ”
Lin Wannian blushed a little, twisted a little, and said to Big Brother Huo: "To tell the truth, I'm here to ask for your help, I am bound to win this election!"
Big Huo smiled, "Everything I can help has already been done, nominating you as a candidate, I have actually made a statement, what else do you want me to do?"
"This ---" Lin Wannian was speechless.
"What you lack now is not my help, after all, I am no longer the president, my influence is limited, and there are others who can help you. Big Huo pinched the tea lid and said slowly.
Lin Wannian was stunned, "Oh, who is it?"
Lin Jiahao was also surprised, except for Huo Dagang, who could help his father participate in the election.
At this time, I saw Big Guy Huo snap on the ground, put down the tea lid, and said to the door: "Okay, the father and son of the Lin family are here, you should come out too!"
As the words landed, I saw a tall figure walking out from outside, before anyone arrived, the laughter said first: "Mr. Lin, and Lin Shao, if you don't see more, are you two good?"
When Lin Wannian and his son Lin Jiahao saw this person, they couldn't help but be shocked, got up and blurted out: "Why are you!"
