The groom, it looks pretty good today. Yo, I also deliberately changed a pair of red socks!"

Zheng Jiachun and Huo Zhenting have a good relationship, both of them were prodigal sons in love in the early years, and they often went to Retiro to play together, so as soon as they entered the room, they couldn't help but joke when they saw Zheng Jiachun who was being sorted out and released by a makeup artist.

"Isn't it festive? Don't you have to wear it sooner or later?"

Huo Zhenting turned around and smiled, just caught a glimpse of Huo Yaowen who came into the door, and hurriedly said: "Yaowen, you came just in time, you have been married, help me see if the process of picking up the bride later." ”

"This ......"

Huo Yaowen glanced at the room, in addition to Huo Zhenting, there was also a makeup artist, and two strangers, a man and a woman, who didn't know.

Just hearing Huo Zhenting's words, he smiled and said: "Brother Huo, I am married, but the wedding was held in the United Kingdom, and it is also the custom there, mainly because Anna's mother helps, and I don't know much about this." ”

Huo Zhenting remembered that Huo Yaowen's wedding was in the UK, and he asked the wrong person.

"Forget it, don't care, let's talk about it then. ”

Huo Zhenting turned his head to look at the other person in the room: "Houhua, Youguang, let me introduce you, this is Huo Yaowen, the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa." ”

Immediately, he said to Huo Yaowen: "Yaowen, this is Ho Houhua, the eldest son of Mr. Ho of Macau Tai Fung Bank, and this is Ho Youguang, the eldest son of He Gambling King of Xinde Shipping. ”

Hearing Huo Zhenting's introduction, Huo Yaowen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the background of these two was actually the son of the Macau King of Tai Fung Bank and He Gambling King of Lisboa Entertainment.

He Houhua stepped forward and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Hello Mr. Huo." ”

"Hello Mr. Ho. Huo Yaowen shook his hand politely.

Then He Youguang also stepped forward to shake hands and talk to him.

After the three of them got acquainted briefly, He Houhua smiled and said to a few people in the room: "I often heard Mr. Huo's name when I was studying in Canada, and I can see it in the newspaper almost every day after returning to Macau. ”

Huo Yaowen waved his hand and said, "Where, Mr. He, you are too polite." ”

He Houhua smiled: "If Mr. Huo doesn't mind, I'll call you Brother Yaowen, you can call me Houhua, Brother Zhenting has always called me that." ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen hesitated for a few seconds, everyone was not familiar with him when they met for the first time, and it was not polite to call him by his name.

Huo Zhenting on the side seemed to guess his thoughts, and said, "It's okay Yaowen, Houhua is younger than you, just call him by his name." ”

He Houhua was born in 55 years, eight years younger than Huo Yaowen.

"Haha, it's my hypocrisy, then I'll be a few years older because of my infatuation, and I'll call Houhua. ”

"Brother Yaowen. He Houhua smiled, looking very honest.

Huo Yaowen glanced at him, grinned and smiled, thinking about something, but he was noncommittal.

With this precedent, when He Youguang, the son of He Gambling King, chatted, he naturally called his name.

Huo Zhenting saw that there was still a while before the time to greet his relatives, so he asked the makeup artist to go out first, and he accompanied Huo Yaowen and others to chat.

"Brother Yaowen, some time ago I read in the newspaper that your company has a market value of $1.5 billion after going public in the United States! Is this true?"

"Well, pretty much, I haven't been able to find out how much lately. ”

"Awesome!"

He Houhua gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Yaowen has developed the Huanyu Group so rapidly in just a few years, and he is also a well-known writer with an international reputation, which is really amazing. ”

He Youguang also nodded beside him and said, "Yes, I often hear my father mention Brother Yaowen. ”

Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

If Huo Chengcai had just come to Hong Kong with money and did not lose money in the hardware trading business, relying on the capital of the Huo family in Zhongshan, he might not be able to be a rich second generation as soon as he was reborn, and he would not have lived in the estate for two years before moving.

"It's just luck. ”

Huo Yaowen said modestly, and said with a smile: "I just heard Brother Huo say, Houhua, Youguang, you are all top students in the management department of a well-known university, and you will definitely be much better than me in the future, and one of the things I regret most in my life is that I did not choose the management department when I was studying, but chose philosophy." ”

A few people chatted like this.

At the end, suddenly the topic shifted to the new subway recently built by the Hong Kong government.

"I've heard that the subway project may be cancelled recently. ”

"Revocation?" Huo Zhenting was stunned, he hadn't heard of it, He Houhua had just come back from abroad not long ago, how did he know about it?

"yes, didn't you hear the news?"

He Houhua glanced at Huo Zhenting in surprise, then at Huo Yaowen and Zheng Jiachun, and saw that the three of them looked dazed, and also explained: "I heard that the British company that bid for the subway project may decide to withdraw from this project because of lack of funds, just like the Japanese company a few years ago. ”

"No, I remember which British infrastructure company in the bid is still very strong. Huo Zhenting thought about it, if I remember correctly, the parent company behind the British company in the bid is one of the largest consortiums in the United Kingdom.

"I don't know about this, maybe I think the Tsuen Wan Line subway is too expensive. ”

He Houhua shrugged his shoulders, he also heard his father mention it when he was eating at home before, and when he saw the topic talking about this, he took the opportunity to say it, as for the truth or falsehood, I think my father wouldn't joke.

When Zheng Jiachun heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said: "If this company withdraws, I don't know if the Hong Kong government will bid for external bidding again." ”

How could Huo Zhenting not know Zheng Jiachun's thoughts, and said with a smile: "That's also an external bidding, Hong Kong's local infrastructure companies haven't built a subway yet, and I'll hand it over to you in the new century, are you sure you can do it well?"

"Haha, I just said casually, it's okay to build a house, but it's not okay to build a subway. Zheng Jiachun thought about it, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"In fact, the construction of the subway in Hong Kong, or the Tsuen Wan area, is not so difficult to start construction, and the technical aspect is not a problem. ”

Huo Yaowen suddenly interjected.

When everyone heard this, they looked at him suspiciously, waiting for him to continue.

Huo Yaowen said: "My wife has a cousin who is the owner of a real estate company in the United Kingdom, although this real estate company is not famous, but their company participated in the construction of the first subway tunnel in the United Kingdom. ”

Anna's West family is not a big family in the UK, but it is also a nobleman for hundreds of years, whether it is a marriage in the past or a marriage, the connections it has in the UK are not comparable to ordinary people.

This is also one of the reasons why, when Huo Yaowen and Anna got married, the Queen of England personally sent someone to send a beautiful necklace as a gift.

And the cousin in Huo Yaowen's mouth is called Anlibo Donner, whose ancestor is also a British nobleman, but it is not hereditary.

In 1853, when the British Parliament approved the construction of the world's first underground railway, the Metropolitan Underground, Downer Architects, as a local construction company in London, participated in the project smoothly.

It took ten years to build the subway, which caused a sensation all over the world, and they sent olive branches to the big construction companies that built the subway.

Slowly a hundred years have passed, and it has developed so far, it is one of the largest companies in the British infrastructure industry, but because the Donner Construction Company is not listed, and most of them are to complete government orders, and they are not too involved in the real estate industry, so the reputation is somewhat insufficient compared to the Tamac Company, except for people engaged in the infrastructure industry, ordinary people rarely know that there is such a company.

"Donner Company?" Huo Zhenting frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I've heard of this name, but I didn't expect there to be such a history." ”

Huo Yaowen nodded and smiled: "Yes, if it weren't for Anna introducing this cousin to me when I got married, I wouldn't have known that there was such a construction company in the UK." ”

"Yaowen, how is your relationship with the boss of the Donner Company?"

Zheng Jiachun asked suddenly.

"Okay, we've talked a few times. Huo Yaowen glanced at Zheng Jiachun, how could he not know his thoughts. In fact, he took the initiative to say it, and he also had the idea of pulling everyone together to cooperate.

It's just that it's not clear which British company will not withdraw from the subway project at this time, and it is useless to say it.

If he really quits, with the introduction now, if these people have ideas in the future, they will definitely call him.
