As the so-called wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night. Decades ago, Wei Hongdao fled to Hong Kong, thousands of miles away, for some historical reasons.
But it was a last resort, not what he thought.
Now that his son is so promising, he naturally wants to return to his hometown and make some contributions to his hometown, and those two invitations are just the beginning.
This time when she returned to her hometown, Lin Xueli also went back together.
In addition, there are Cui Muqing and six bodyguards, and let Cui Muqing go back together, mainly so that there can be someone to help Wei Hongdao and Lin Xueli deal with various affairs.
After all, now that the identity is different, there must be a lot of things to do when I go back this time.
Because there is no direct flight to Jiaxing, and Jiaxing is next door to Shanghai, Wei Hongdao and his party took a direct flight to Shanghai.
Then take a bus from Shanghai to Jiaxing.
When the plane landed in Shanghai, it was already afternoon, and as soon as I walked out of the exit, I saw a person holding a card with the words 'Wei Hongdao' written on it.
Cui Muqing immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is it from the Jiaxing Municipal Government?"
"Yes, I am Liang Zhengyi, deputy mayor of Jiaxing City. ”
The person holding the card was obviously just a small minion, and as soon as Cui Muqing's voice fell, a bald middle-aged man next to the person who held the card said with a smile.
"Hello, I am the first secretary of Mr. Wei Xiong's secretariat, you can just call me Secretary Cui. ”
"Hello Secretary Cui. ”
At this time, Wei Hongdao and Lin Xueli also came over, Liang Zhengyi immediately stepped forward, held Wei Hongdao's hand with both hands, and said excitedly:
"Welcome Mr. Wei back to his hometown, the people of his hometown are looking forward to you. ”
"There's Deputy Mayor Lao Liang. ”
"Hongdao. ”
"Are you Hongkang?" Wei Hongdao looked at the old man standing next to Liang Zhengyi, looked at it for a while, and said with some uncertainty.
"It's me. ”
"It's really you, Hongkang" Wei Hongdao, who has always been in front of Mount Tai and his face did not change, lost his previous calmness at this time, and excitedly stepped forward and clasped hands with the old man.
This old man's name is Wei Hongkang, and when he hears the name, he knows that the relationship with Wei Hongdao is not ordinary.
He and Wei Hongdao are cousins and grew up together.
The feelings are deep, but time is ruthless, decades have passed in a hurry, and the once sturdy young man has long since become a gray-haired old man.
……
The long-awaited King's Jewels first store has finally opened. Early in the morning, the store in Central is filled with congratulatory flower baskets.
Journalists from all walks of life are also in place.
In fact, as early as two or three months ago, the existence of the King's Jewel was known to reporters, and then relevant information continued to flow out.
But I have only heard its voice and not seen the facts, which can be said to have whetted the appetite of the media.
Until yesterday,
Merriam-Webster's Daily News and Hong Kong Daily each published a lengthy story about the King's Jewels.
The report introduces Wei Xiong's original intention of founding King's Jewelry, as well as King's Jewelry's business philosophy.
For the first time, everyone got to know the King's Jewels.
There is no doubt that with Wei Xiong's fame and prestige, King's Jewelry became famous as soon as it was unveiled, but this is only the first step.
For a jewelry brand, especially a high-end jewelry brand, to succeed, the first thing is the heritage.
Like today's famous jewelry brands.
Such as Cartier, Bulgari, etc., which does not have a history of hundreds of years, or even one or two hundred years. However, this is clearly not comparable to the King's Jewels.
As a brand new high-end jewelry brand, King is taking the fashion route.
In order to be accepted and liked by consumers, in addition to the quality of the product itself to meet this requirement, promotion is also the top priority.
So when the time came to 9 o'clock, with the first courtesy car stopped at the beginning of the red carpet.
A gorgeous scene comparable to the award ceremony appeared.
One after another familiar stars: Zhong Chuhong, Liu Dehua, Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui, Lin Qingxia, etc. appeared one after another.
Each one is dressed up to attend.
If it is said that the appearance of big-name stars makes the people watching around excited.
The first collective appearance of Na Weixiong's ten public girlfriends undoubtedly blinded everyone, including hundreds of media reporters at the scene.
That's right, this is the first time that the top ten beauties of Xiangjiang have made a collective appearance in public.
And it's all very grand.
Zhou Huimin put on the 'tears of first love', Wang Guxian put on the 'Sage Eye', Chen Hong put on the 'Bright Starry Sky', and even Li Jiaxin,
He also wore the 'Phoenix Star' crown.
These pieces of jewelry are the kind of treasures that money may not necessarily buy.
As for He Chaoqiong, Zhao Yazhi, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Zhi, Zeng Huaqian, and the six daughters of Zhilin, although there are no such treasures.
But each of them is wearing the best of great value.
I don't know how many reporters I killed when I appeared on the stage. In addition to Hong Kong stars, there are also many foreign stars, and they are all big-name stars.
Like Michael?? Jackson, Madonna and French Rose Sophie?? Marceau.
They were all invited by Wei Xiong.
There is no notice fee, pure friendship platform, and their arrival has invisibly made this opening ceremony more high-end.
After all the guests arrived, the journalist with the invitation was allowed to enter the store.
Others, sorry, are closed today.
The area of the store is very large, and it is not a problem to accommodate forty or fifty customers, and at this time, several beautiful clerks are introducing the jewelry in the counter to guests and reporters.
The most striking of these are the five sets of jewels, all five of which are complete sets.
Including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings.
Among the five sets of jewelry, the most attractive is a set of jewelry named 'Tears of the Stars', which is surrounded by people.
According to the beautiful clerk, this set of jewelry is made of a rough diamond weighing 738 carats.
The main body is a necklace with a 215-carat diamond pendant.
The pear-shaped diamond was cut by renowned jewelry designer Mildos Kuys and his two assistants using state-of-the-art laser technology.
The process took almost four months.
It is also one of the largest known diamonds in the world, more than twice the size of the Koh-i-Noor, which is set in the crown of the Queen of England.
Rarely, the clarity of the diamond is the highest flawless (FL).
The color has also reached E+.
It is worth mentioning that this was beyond Mildos Kuys's expectations, because the previous rough identification, although the clarity and color were very good.
But it didn't reach such a perfect level.
It can only be said that the most perfect part is encased in the rough stone, so that there is an error.
In the words of Mildos Kuys,
It was the most complete diamond he had ever seen in his life, and it was one of the most difficult to replicate in his life.
In fact, it is.
In the counter, illuminated by three laser lights, this priceless treasure emits a light that can eclipse anything.
All those who stand around it have a desperate gaze on it.
Except for necklaces.
Mildos Kuys also designed a pair of earrings, a pair of studs, two bracelets and a ring from cut offcuts.
"Mr. Wei, I took a look just now, and some of the jewelry on the counter seems to be the same as Chow Tai Fook?"
"You're right. ”
"It's true that some of them are the same as the ones that came out in Chow Tai Fook this spring, because King Jewellery and Chow Tai Fook Jewellery are already a partnership. ”
Of course, the company's lack of design power also has something to do with it. ”
"But we've hired a number of jewellery designers, including renowned jewellery designer Mildos Kuys. ”
"There will be more talents in this area in the future. ”
"It seems that Mr. Wei has a lot of confidence in King's Jewelry. The young New York Times reporter frequently flattered Wei Xiong with a pair of beautiful eyes.
This blonde female journalist is none other than that.
None other than the New York Times's daughter, Angelina?? Salzberg.
A few days ago, Wei Xiong called Angelina and said that his jewelry company was about to open and wanted to invite the New York Times to the store for an interview.
Wei Xiong's purpose is simple.
Capitalize on the New York Times' huge circulation and influence around the world to quickly make King's Jewels famous, not just in Hong Kong.
At that time, Angelina agreed without even thinking about it, and came to Hong Kong in person three days later.
I didn't need her to come in person,
Because Hong Kong has reporters stationed in the New York Times, it is completely possible for the reporters stationed in Hong Kong to cover the interviews and then send the interview materials back to New York.
But Angelina still came, and then you can imagine.
Angelina and Wei Xiong had several fierce and harmonious friendly battles.
"Of course. ”
"I heard that all ten of your girlfriends will be the face of the King's Jewels. ”
"You're very well informed, yes, the advertising and promotional photos have been taken, and it should be available to the public in a few days. ”
"How much do you pay for it?" the female reporter quipped.
"I think it's enough to have me. Wei Xiong smiled slightly.
"It seems that you are still a confident man. Can you tell us about your next move, like where are you going to open a second or third branch?"
"The initial plan is to open a store in New York and a store in Paris, and we are already looking for a storefront. ”
"Ask a question that interests me. ”
"Do you plan to give that jewel called 'Tears of the Stars' to a woman?" Angelina's eyes burst into a sparkling light.
"If I had to give it to a woman, I think I would give it to my mother. ”
"But until then, it's going to be the treasure of the town. It will be placed here for the next week for consumers and tourists to visit. ”
"Aren't you worried about the safety of your jewelry?"
"Security measures have been put in place, and tomorrow 'Tears of the Stars' will be placed in a bulletproof and explosion-proof glass cover. At the same time, I also applied for a protective order. ”
"When the time comes, the police will step up patrols in the neighborhoods. In addition, the number of security guards in the store will also be increased. ”
……
What questions to ask, Wei Xiong and Angelina have already communicated, and now it's just a formality, so the interview went smoothly.
After the interview with Wei Xiong, Angelina interviewed Sophie again?? Marceau.
And just a minute ago, Sophie?? Marceau has just been interviewed by the French newspaper Le Monde.
"Hello Sophie. ”
"Hello. ”
"Can I take a little of your time?"
"Absolutely. ”
"Can you tell us how you feel about the King's Jewels?"
"I feel that it is no worse than those traditional jewelry brands, whether it is workmanship or style, and it is very much in line with the consumption concept of young people now. ”
"Do you see the necklace around my neck?"
"It was designed by the king according to my request and was just in my hands last night and to be honest, I really like this necklace. ”
"It's really good. ”
Angelina took a closer look at Sophie?? The necklace around Marceau's neck, nodded, and said, "It seems that you are quite optimistic about the prospects of the King's Jewels. ”
"I'm not the only one I want to be optimistic about. ”
"Will you continue to spend money at the king, or will you introduce your friends?"
"Of course. ”
"Are you sure it's not because of your personal relationship with Wei Xiong?"
"Of course I'm sure, as I said earlier, King is a great and great jewelry brand, so why don't I continue to spend it?"
"If my friends are in need, I'm certainly willing to give them some advice. ”
"Wei Xiong will definitely be happy to hear you say that. ”
……
"Sister Zhi, after you gave birth, you are more beautiful than before. A female reporter from Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao walked up to Zhao Yazhi.
"Thank you. Zhao Yazhi's smile was still so elegant.
"Can you tell us about your maintenance secrets? I'm really recovering well, just like I never had a baby. The female reporter looked excited, obviously a fan of Zhao Yazhi.
"Actually, there's no secret, it should have something to do with each other's physique. ”
"I'm so envious. ”
"There were rumors before that the baby was going to hold a full moon wine, and reporters from all walks of life were looking forward to it, but in the end it didn't, can you reveal the reason?"
"There's nothing special about it, it's just a full moon, and I don't want to make it too complicated. ”
"But the family still got together for dinner. ”
"Does it also include Zhou Huimin and Wang Guxian?"
"It's all family. Zhao Yazhi did not answer positively, but her answer made the reporter more excited than the positive answer, which was too expected.
"Will there be a birthday party when you are one year old?"
"I won't talk about this today, you can tell us more about the jewelry in the store. Zhao Yazhi smiled slightly and politely rejected the female reporter's question.
"Well, I heard that you will all be the king's spokesman?"
"yes. ”
"You are all the most popular actresses in Hong Kong, wouldn't it be too extravagant to endorse one brand all of you?"
At the same time, ten popular actresses were invited to be spokespersons, and there seems to be no precedent.
I can't help but not have Hong Kong, and neither does the world.
Such a big deal is estimated to be something that only Wei Xiong can do. After the official launch of the advertisement, the King's Jewels could not be popular.
At least in Asia, it will definitely become popular at a terrifying rate.
"Isn't that great?"
……
"Miss Siccone, can I ask you a few questions?" said a reporter from Sing Tao Daily blocking McDonald's.
"Absolutely. ”
"I heard just now that you, Michael, and Sophie came to Hong Kong this time, and it was completely a pure friendship platform, and there was no notice fee?"
"I think it's right for friends to help each other, and King is a great brand. ”
"It seems that Miss Siccone has a good relationship with Mr. Wei. ”
"It's just that why there has never been a relevant report in the media before? Can you tell us more about the acquaintance with Mr. Wei?"
Madonna is a famous prodigal slut in Hollywood, and Wei Xiong is a world-famous playboy.
Didn't this playboy spark when he met a prodigal slut?
The reporter of "Sing Tao Daily" hoped that this prodigal woman, who had always been bold in words and deeds, would be amazing again, and that would be great.
"There's nothing to say about it. ”
Madonna shrugged her shoulders with a smile, and just as the reporter was a little disappointed, Madonna continued: "But Wei Xiong is indeed a great man. ”
"I should say that he is the best man in the world, and other men are as small as ants compared to him. ”
"What are you referring to?" the reporter asked excitedly.
"Guess?" Madonna smiled, it was a charm.
I guess the expression of the reporter of "Sing Tao Daily" is wonderful, if it weren't for the public, he might have just stripped Madonna's clothes.
Let Lao Tzu guess, why don't you say let Lao Tzu plug in, you will know that it is a at a glance.
……
"Mr. Wei, last night the Zhejiang TV station in the mainland reported that your father, Mr. Wei, will not only attend the inauguration ceremony of the Xizha Village Scenic Area when he returns to his hometown this time. ”
He will also lead the Wei clan of Xizha Village to hold an ancestor worship ceremony. ”
The Ming Pao reporter held up a tape recorder to Wei Xiong.
Ming Pao has always been the most widely reported newspaper in Hong Kong's neutral media on the mainland, so it has a channel to get news from the mainland.
"I don't know about this, the ancestor worship activity should be temporarily arranged after returning to my hometown. ”
"Then I wonder if the family tree will be renewed?"
"According to Chinese tradition, overseas Chinese who return to their hometowns will go to the ancestral hall to renew their genealogy, if there is a continuation of the genealogy, will Zhao Yazhi, Zhou Huimin and others write it in?"
"I really don't know about that. Well, don't ask these irrelevant questions. ”
Wei Xiong once again said something unclear and went out.
At the same time, I have to sigh again in my heart, it is a pity that Hong Kong reporters do not go to be agents, and any little wind and grass can have so many associations.
And it's also a very reliable association.
……
The opening ceremony lasted more than an hour, after which some guests left and the rest moved to The Peninsula for lunch.
Just a very ordinary Chinese lunch.
After lunch, most of the guests left, Michael?? Jackson and the others went back to their guest rooms to rest, and there was a formal Western-style dinner in the evening.
Shortly after leaving, Wei Xiong returned to the hotel and entered Madonna's room.
