Chapter Seventy-Nine: Charity Dinner

"Hey, who one do you ask?" Lin Cheng picked up the phone and asked.

"Lin Sheng, I'm Huo Qigang, I think you should have heard my name. A voice came from the other end of the phone that surprised Lin Cheng.

"Huh?" Lin Cheng was really taken aback when he heard this name, he never expected Huo Qigang to call him, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he was shocked: "Huo Sheng, hello, we have never known each other, I don't know what you are looking for me?"

Huo Qigang said politely: "Lin Sheng, you are really a blockbuster if you don't make a sound! Today, all the newspapers in Xiangjiang are your news." That's right, today is August 1st, just one month after the return of Hong Kong to the motherland, my grandfather held a grand charity dinner to celebrate the return of the motherland at the Convention and Exhibition Center, and please be sure to come. ”

Huo Qigang's words made Lin Cheng stunned again, Huo Yingdong held a charity night to celebrate his return, and he wanted to invite himself to participate?

Lin Cheng hurriedly said, "I'm honored to be invited by Huo Sheng, I will definitely arrive on time tonight." ”

Huo Qigang said with a smile: "Okay, Lin Sheng, I'll send someone to deliver the invitation later, and we'll see you in the evening." ”

Lin Cheng forcibly suppressed his emotions and said calmly: "Okay, we'll see you in the evening." ”

"What's wrong, are you not feeling well?" Li Muzhen saw that Lin Cheng was so excited that his whole body was swinging, and he thought he was unwell, so he asked with concern.

"I'm fine, do you know Mr. Fok Yingdong? He invited me to a charity banquet. Lin Cheng replied.

"Huo Yingdong, I haven't heard much about it, so do you want to go?" asked Li Muzhen.

"Go! Of course I have to go, Huo Yingdong gave me face, can I not carry it?" Lin Cheng said categorically.

Who is Huo Yingdong? After returning to China, he will be the closest Xiangjiang tycoon to the Chinese government, and he will be appointed vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) by the central authorities in March next year, becoming the first Xiangjiang man to become a national leader.

After the outbreak of the Korean War in the 1950s, Britain and the United States came up with a United Nations resolution to impose an embargo on the mainland of the motherland, officially announcing to the world: "Anything that can be used by a soldier is not allowed to be shipped to Red China." ”

In the blockade of the island chain in the Pacific Ocean against the mainland of the motherland, Hong Kong and Macao were the last gap, and the British government in Hong Kong strictly enforced the requirements of the "total embargo".

However, under such difficult circumstances, Fok Yingdong not only undertook the main task of transporting military supplies between Hong Kong, Macao, and China, but also organized a sophisticated reconnaissance team to monitor the movements of the British government's anti-smuggling boats in Hong Kong.

And in order to get rid of the surveillance of the authorities, he even changed three different locations in one day as the "command" of the entire transportation system.

During this "global embargo", Fok Yingdong provided a large number of strategic materials to the mainland to help the motherland resist US aggression and aid Korea, which soon aroused the dissatisfaction of the British and American governments, and was therefore criticized by the British government in colonial Hong Kong.

In order to suppress Fok Yingdong, the British government in Hong Kong even banned him from engaging in the most profitable real estate industry in Xiangjiang, you know, the real estate industry at that time was the first one he brought up, and those pre-sale real estate and loans to buy houses in later generations were all his remaining means, but he was banned from entering this industry by the government, which is not a heavy blow.

If Huo Yingdong has been developing in the real estate industry, how can Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoji, rising stars in the real estate industry, surpass Huo Yingdong so easily, and they will definitely be pressed under Huo Yingdong all the time.

Of course, Mr. Fok Yingdong's huge sacrifice for the mainland of the motherland will not be in vain, after the return of Xiangjiang, the Huo family in the mainland to do business is called unimpeded, the Huo family to build a wharf or invest in real estate all made a lot of money

Now, if such a legendary figure who has worked hard for the prosperity of the motherland wants to invite him to a charity dinner, can Lin Cheng not go? Of course not!

However, what made Lin Cheng feel worthless for Huo Yingdong was that his popularity in the mainland was too low, and he was not as good as Li Chaoren, who was good at speculation! Li Chaoren had a lot of names, and he won the richest man in Xiangjiang, the richest man in China, and the richest man in Asia, so that everyone in the mainland knew about him.

Take Li Muzhen next to Lin Cheng as an example, she knows Li Chaoren's family very well, but she has never heard of Huo Yingdong. But this can't be blamed on Li Muzhen, after all, it was Lin Cheng's self in his previous life, and it wasn't until Huo Qigang and the diving queen fell in love and got married in the new century that the Huo family was so awesome.

It's sad to think about it, Huo Yingdong, such a legendary big man, can only become famous throughout the country by relying on the scandal between his grandson Huo Qigang and the diving queen.

"In Xiangjiang, there is still an existence that is more awesome than Li Chaoren?" Li Muzhen felt a little unbelievable after listening to Lin Cheng's popular science on Huo Yingdong.

You must know that Li Chaoren is already a trendy phenomenon in the country, there are thousands of books that introduce his developed history alone, and Li Chaoren's self-made deeds are cases that young people strive to study, and many people want to find their own way to entrepreneurial success from his family history, so as to embark on the peak of life.

Lin Cheng smiled when he heard this: "If it weren't for the deliberate suppression of the British government in Hong Kong, with Huo Yingdong's ingenuity, the position of the richest man in China would not have been Li Chaoren's turn to sit at all." You must know that the real estate industry in Hong Kong was first started by Mr. Fok Yingdong, and the shipping industry is also the basic plate that he began to make a fortune, but unfortunately these two industries were banned by the British government in Hong Kong, otherwise we should call Mr. Fok Yingdong Huo Chaoren now. ”

After Lin Cheng's profound explanation, Li Muzhen realized at this moment that Huo Yingdong, who is not very famous now, actually has such a big background, and he has made such a huge contribution to the mainland of the motherland, which is really too high for her.

What Li Muzhen especially admires is Mr. Huo Yingdong's selfless dedication to the motherland for decades, which alone is worthy of her great admiration.

Compared with Huo Yingdong, Li Chaoren's investor's face is undoubtedly revealed, Li Chaoren is a guy who can only share wealth and prosperity but not suffering, maybe it is really his political backer who has fallen, or he is really not optimistic about the mainland economy, in short, in the year that Lin Cheng has passed, nine out of ten of the Li family's industries have been evacuated overseas, and even the industries in Xiangjiang have been sold to others.
