179 Banquet in the Li Mansion
Taking advantage of the gap, Li Feng looked at the expressions of the two sons of the Li family, and suddenly smiled slightly in his heart, from the subtle expressions of the two brothers, it can actually be seen that the two brothers are not as good and intimate as the legends of later generations.
At this time, the outside world can be said to be hotly hyped about who is the successor of Li Chaoren between the two brothers, but it is clear to anyone with a discerning eye that the eldest son is the successor of the Li family.
The eldest son, who was born in '64, is now 33 years old and has always been by his father's side, and is now the vice chairman of Cheung Kong and a major member of the board of directors of HSBC.
You must know that before the handover, there was a saying that HSBC was the controller of Xiangjiang, and the Bao family and the Li family, the richest Chinese families in the world for two generations, should actually rise with the support of HSBC.
Although before 2000, Li Zekai was known as a 'little superman', and his reputation in the business world far exceeded that of his eldest brother, and he became famous all over the world because of Li Zekai's various scandals with actresses in the entertainment industry.
But it is precisely these rumors, etc., in fact, it can be said that it further confirms that the issue of superman's successor has been determined early, and if Li Zekai is still likely to become the successor, it is impossible to have so many not very good rumors.
After all, as one of the top wealthy families in Xiangjiang, he still pays attention to all kinds of comments on the issue of heirs, and Li Zekai's romantic reputation is by no means the reputation that a successor should have.
Compared with the rebellion of Li Ergongzi, the eldest son's rules and diligence are more popular with Li Chaoren, as the so-called 'it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to do the country', Li Ka-shing has worked hard all his life, and to the point where he is now, in the issue of succession, stability is the first choice.
……
Li Zeju's life from birth to the present is relatively flat, growing up with his younger brother under the influence and cultivation of Li Chaoren, and studying majors according to his father's arrangement when he went to university.
After graduation, he directly entered Cheung Kong Industrial, started from the grassroots level, and then after showing his ability, he rose to the top and finally became a veritable second-in-command of Cheung Kong Industrial.
Compared with his brother's calmness, the growth trajectory known as 'Little Superman' was deviated in college, and Little Superman rebelled.
When Superman was in college, he also followed his father's arrangement at first, but it didn't take long for him to choose the major he was interested in - computer.
Although Li Chaoren is open-minded in terms of children's education and acquiesces in his son's choice, in Li Feng's view, at least it started here, and Li Chaoren began to favor the eldest son in the choice of his successor.
Later, with the steady side shown by the eldest son, Li Chaoren made a choice early. After all, what is needed to achieve Li Chaoren's career level today is not a pioneering leader, but a steady leader who can ensure that Cheung Kong and the Li family's business can be inherited.
Although the starting point of Little Superman's entry into the business world is also very high, and he has entered the media and telecommunications industries that he is interested in at the beginning, and he has done a very good job, but after all, this is just the icing on the cake of the Li family's career on the original basis.
There is a saying that what is called, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, although this is about the meaning of others pulling at the lowest point, but in fact, even at the peak, the meaning can also be applied.
At your peak, others have helped you develop a further career, although you will be happy, but compared to the career you care about the most, it is just a little happy, maybe it will be over, and the most important thing is that the career in your hands will not be damaged.
……
In Li Chaoren's heart, he may also have this kind of thought, although Li Ergongzi has done a good job in the media real estate business, but it is only a little expansion of the Li family's territory, and his two flagship Cheung Kong Industrial and Hutchison Whampoa, this is the problem that Li Chaoren is most concerned about.
Therefore, although the outside world is now hyping up the issue of the successor of the Li family, Li Feng has heard all kinds of news about the successor of the Li family in his previous life.
Now, from Li Feng's point of view, this so-called 'successor' issue is really just hype, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly, in fact, it has been confirmed early.
Therefore, when everyone praised the eldest son of the Li family, Li Feng suddenly thought about it and paid attention to the expression of the second son of Li, obviously, Li Feng found that when everyone praised his eldest brother, for a moment, the expression of Little Superman was a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Although Li Feng thought about it so much, he finally felt that when he was reborn, Li Chaoren had not yet retired, and it was said that he still worked 10 hours a day, and he was really old and strong, which made people have to admire.
Of course, Li Feng is skeptical about working 10 hours a day, perhaps the rumored one is a total of 10 hours a day from getting up to before going to bed. How is it possible for you to ask a person who is almost 90 years old to work 10 hours a day.
When Li Feng saw such news on the Internet, Li Feng also thought that a person who is almost 90 and works 10 hours a day is really a 'superman', anyway, Li Feng will never be able to work 10 hours a day.
……
"Xiao Li Sheng, come together, our group of old guys also hope to be able to get close to young talents like Xiao Li Sheng, otherwise we will be too outdated. At this time, Li Chaoren joked to Li Feng with a smile.
"Oh, Old Li, that's my honor!" Listening to the invitation of this wealth idol in his previous life, Li Feng also smiled and agreed.
"It's really Xiao Li Sheng, Lao Li, is your surname Li too prosperous, you look at your Lao Li and Li Lao Si in the past, and there are geniuses like Xiao Li Sheng in the later generations, and the Li family is really too prosperous. At this time, He Gambling King smiled and praised, and immediately won a joke from everyone.
"Old He, you have won the award!" Li Feng replied modestly again and again, winning the favor of the bigwigs.
Next, the group walked together to the center of the hall, where a small stage was set up. Seeing that the hall was all quiet and his eyes were focused on himself, Li Chaoren showed a humble smile and walked to the front desk, accompanied by his two sons.
"Hello relatives and friends, those present are either our relatives and friends of the Li family or the best business partners of the Li family, thank you for enjoying the light tonight, and let the house shine brightly tonight.
Without further ado, I hope that all of you here tonight will have a happy and happy night, and thank you again for coming, everyone, please!" he said, raising his glass of wine.
"Cheers..."
“cheers!”
"Bang Bang Bang..."
As Li Chaoren's words fell, applause rang out at the scene.
