203 [Shunshui Favor]
Generally, there are two basic conditions for the Governor to appoint Justices of the Peace, one is that he has contributed to Hong Kong society, and the other is that he has the recommendation of other Justices of the Peace.
Seeing that Huo Yaowen didn't speak, Huo Guantai pondered for a few seconds and continued: "Yaowen, since you call me uncle, and they are all the same ancestors and ancestors, I will definitely push you, but I don't know what your opinion is?"
At this moment, Huo Yaowen's heart is beating much faster than usual, and his original intention of establishing the Education Foundation is not to be a Justice of the Peace!
However, with Huo Guantai's help, he will owe a lot of favors.
Huo Yaowen glanced at Huo Guantai, saw him smiling, as if waiting for his answer, squinted slightly, thought for a moment, nodded and muttered: "Then there is Uncle Lao Huo in this matter." ”
Hearing Huo Yaowen's promise, the smile on Huo Guantai's face was even worse, "The relationship between you and my uncle and nephew, how can you talk about the word labor, Yaowen, you can rest assured, I still know a lot of friends in Hong Kong, and you can still be a justice of the peace." ”
The title of Justice of the Peace, if you don't wait for Hong Kong's return, Huo Guantai will not be able to mix it in his life, and it will be impossible for his children and grandchildren to get it, this is mainly due to the fact that he helped the mainland smuggle all kinds of drugs in the early years, even if he is not suppressed by the British government in Hong Kong, how can he be appointed as a Justice of the Peace?
However, Huo Guantai has been in business for more than 20 years, who doesn't know his name, plus he has a big family, and he doesn't need such a false title, but if he can sell a favor to this promising junior with the same surname and clan, and push him to a bigger stage, he will also be able to give more help in the Hong Kong business community in the future, why not do it?
...
"Mr. Huo, you have to send it off. ”
Huo Yaowen stood outside the car door, hugged his fists and smiled at Huo Zhenting.
Huo Zhenting said: "President Huo is too polite, just like my father said just now, you and I are the same ancestor, you call my father uncle, I am one year older than you, just call me big brother." ”
Huo Yaowen didn't shirk either, smiled and said, "Okay, then Brother Huo, you can just call me Yaowen or Ah Wen." ”
"Okay, since Awen you recognize me as a big brother, if there is anything unequal in Hong Kong in the future, contact me directly, this is my business card, and my phone number is written on the back, usually I am not in the company or at home. ”
Huo Zhenting seemed to be prepared, took out a business card from the pocket of his suit and handed it to Huo Yaowen.
took the business card and glanced at it, Huo Yaowen cherished the business card into the inner pocket of the suit, smiled and said, "Then next time I have time, I will ask Brother Huo to come out for a drink." ”
"No problem. Huo Zhenting smiled and nodded.
...
After a while, seeing Huo Yaowen drive away, Huo Zhenting turned around and went back to the hotel's box.
Huo Guantai saw his son come back and asked, "Yaowen is gone?"
"Yes, I got on the bus myself. Huo Zhenting nodded.
"That's good. ”
Huo Guantai took a sip of the teacup, raised his eyes to look at Huo Zhenting, put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Zhenting, you can be more close to Yaowen in the future, don't be jealous of people in nightclubs all day long." ”
Among Huo Guantai's children, Huo Zhenting is the most extroverted one and the most active one, often fighting with people in nightclubs, and even fighting, but no matter how he is outside, he is very respectful to Huo Guantai at home, and when he heard him speak, he immediately nodded and said, "I know my father." ”
...
On the way back by Huo Yaowen, he kept thinking about what Huo Guantai said before, and someone wanted to recommend him as a Justice of the Peace.
In Hong Kong, Huo Yaowen knows a lot of friends, but most of them are literati and ink writers like Jin Yong and Gu Long, except for a few business people, there are not many acquaintances, do the math, that is, Zhou Xinian has been in contact for a long time, of course, if Lei Luo is also counted, it is two.
It's just that Lei Luo definitely doesn't have that ability, he is at best a former chief inspector who retired and retired at home, and he has a lot of black history, so he definitely won't recommend himself to the governor to be a justice of the peace.
Thinking about it this way, there is only Sir Zhou Xinian, who was not only a Justice of the Peace, but also has a knighthood awarded to him by the United Kingdom.
But even if Sir Zhou has this ability, the two are not too close to each other except for the Foundation, and Huo Yaowen is a little suspicious.
After thinking about it for a long time, when he couldn't think of a reason, Huo Yaowen put this matter out of his mind, anyway, now that Huo Guantai promised to push him, just wait for the good news, but before that, he can advance the matter that the foundation had planned to allocate funds to students in early March, so as to add a little bargaining chip to himself.
At this time, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Yaowen was not in a hurry to go back to school, the school would hold a Christmas party tonight, and he was too lazy to join in the excitement, he had participated in four sessions and was tired of watching it.
...
I just got home.
Huo Chengcai couldn't help but say to Huo Yaowen, who was slippers: "Yaowen, I went to Jiulongtang with your aunt and grandmother today, and I saw several buildings, and I fell in love with one of them, why don't we go over together tomorrow and have a look?"
"Oh?
Huo Yaowen glanced at his grandmother, who had just come out of the kitchen, and asked, "How did your grandmother look at the villa in the morning?"
Grandma hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Look, it's a bit expensive." ”
Huo Yaowen threw the briefcase on the table, walked up to his mother, and said with a smile: "Let's not mention the money first, Lao Dou said that you have a villa in your phase, how do you feel?"
Mother thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's good, it's three stories high, there are six rooms, as well as a garden and a swimming pool, and the location is also quite good, and it's only about a kilometer away from my sister's academy." ”
"That's not bad, how much does it cost?" Huo Yaowen heard that his mother was satisfied, and turned his head to look at his father Huo Chengcai.
Huo Chengcai said: "Together with the title deed, there is a total of 480,000 yuan. ”
"That's not expensive. ”
Huo Yaowen smiled, "Since you have taken a fancy to it, then buy that set, and you will go with Lao Dou to buy that villa tomorrow." ”
My mother was surprised: "It's not expensive, 480,000 yuan is enough for us to buy this house, seven or eight sets." ”
480,000 villas are indeed not expensive in Huo Yaowen's opinion, although a high-rise thousand-foot mansion can be bought for only 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, but the price of a villa with a single courtyard is definitely different, and now 480,000 yuan is bought, and it will be worth at least hundreds of millions in a few decades.
"According to your calculations, 480,000 can still build a building directly in the New Territories!"
Seeing his mother's distressed look, Huo Yaowen smiled bitterly twice, helped her sit on the sofa and said: "Auntie, don't worry, I still have a lot of money, and now the company is also making a profit, if you want to live, you must live the best, maybe our family will move to the top of Taiping Mountain in the future." ”
"That's... All right. The mother saw that her son insisted, and she really liked the villa she liked today, so after thinking about it, she nodded and agreed.
Huo Chengcai saw that his wife agreed, and he also smiled on his face, but when he thought of moving to the villa in the future, he couldn't help but think that the new villa was so big, and he was afraid that he would be busy cleaning the housework in the future, but he didn't dare to say it now, for fear that his wife would change her mind again.
Huo Yaowen glanced at the house, "By the way, what about Grandma?"
Mother said: "Your grandma went to your uncle's house to sit for a while, she should be back soon." ”
"Then I'll bring the passbook early tomorrow, and then you and Lao Dou will go to Kowloon to buy the villa." ”
"Okay, it's all up to you. In her opinion, the main purpose of buying this villa is to use it as a wedding room for Huo Yaowen, and when Yaowen gets married in the future, she will move back with Huo Chengcai and Grandma.
