Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Cold (Part II)

At the beginning of the day, the men in suits and leather shoes were graceful outside the Peninsula Hong Kong Hotel, holding the clothes of the ladies dressed up with incense, holding red invitations to attend the thank-you reception for the successful listing of Haohua Real Estate.

Haohua Real Estate, formerly known as Sohu Real Estate, skyrocketed when it went public, which was expected by everyone. A five-year-old real estate company, with a registered capital of only US$60 million, can reach total assets of HK$70 billion and net assets of nearly US$40 billion within five years. With the ability of a leader, coupled with the deep connections behind him, it is not difficult to imagine his potential for development.

Stocks are gambling for speculators, but for investment institutions and individuals, they are confidence in the future. The listing of Haohua Real Estate was very successful, and the scale of the first fundraising far exceeded the previous estimate of 100-12 billion Hong Kong dollars, exceeding 100 million Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop, and the market value also reached an astonishing 100 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming one of the largest private listed companies in China. The listing performance of Haohua Real Estate Company is a good proof that investors are optimistic about its future.

Ten years ago, Deng Hao, who was just a working boy, also became a new super-rich man with his 37.18% stake in Haohua Real Estate, and what is even more enviable is that he also holds 21.69% of the shares of the 'e era' chain Internet café. Don't look at 'e-era' is just a chain Internet café, but it is a real cash cow, Haohuadi's production capacity is unconventionally developed, in addition to the majesty of its helmsman, the cash flow of 'e-era' is also an immeasurable help.

Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. Today's Deng Hao is in high spirits, holding his dressed wife to socialize everywhere, clinking glasses, greetings, and thanking business seniors and partners from time to time.

Li Zhonghua, who is dressed in an elegant evening dress, is like a wealthy lady, and she has lost the ability of the strong women of the past. But Li Jiaming, who was scolded by her, not only had to follow her with a wine glass to entertain, but also had to whisper to her as a translator, and be polite to those elites who were obviously Chinese but liked to whisper a few English words from time to time.

What's worse is that every time he finishes socializing with those older guests, Li Zhonghua, who is like a noblewoman, will take out his younger brother behind him and show off with a smile. What is the implication, Deng Hao, who is on the rise, may not have thought much about it, Li Jiaming, who was scolded by her on the phone, knows what to do, but he feels warm.

As the old saying goes, 'relatives can't get rid of each other', which refers to this kind of kinship based on blood. In the eldest sister's heart, no matter how capable she is, in her eyes she is still the naughty and mischievous skin.

It's good, the eldest sister is like a mother.

After accompanying the eldest sister to socialize, Li Jiaming walked to the second brother-in-law who was bored in the corner. In fact, he didn't like this kind of occasion, if it wasn't for the eldest sister who reprimanded him on the phone, he wouldn't have come at all.

"Brother-in-law, are you hiding from the cat?"

The second brother-in-law, who was bored, was a little nervous when he saw his wife and brother coming, and even bent his waist subconsciously, and said busily: "Jiaming? Hehe, I'm not used to it." ”

Alas, even if the second brother-in-law becomes a billionaire, he is still a farmer at heart, and he really doesn't like this kind of occasion. However, the second sister is very suitable for this kind of occasion, and she is standing not far away and talking and laughing with Zeng Qiang's wife. In fact, this is not a bad thing, businessmen do have to socialize, but husbands and wives need to complement each other more. Outside the female protagonist and male protagonist inside, it may be more beneficial to family stability.

What do you think? Li Jiaming couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself, he even thought about this kind of thing, maybe his mental age was really old, and he had become old and sophisticated.

"Brother-in-law, it's actually not a bad thing. ”

The introverted Huang Guoqing doesn't know how to say it, he knows the personality of his wife and brother, otherwise he will think that he is making fun of himself. Li Jiaming also knew the temperament of his second brother-in-law, raised his glass and touched him, and accompanied him to chat in the corner.

"Brother-in-law, those who ponder people can become officials, and those who ponder things will get rich. Not socializing is sometimes not a bad thing. ”

"Jiaming?"

The second brother-in-law's understanding is still a little worse, and Li Jiaming had to explain: "People's energy is limited, and it is unlikely to think through people and things. If you are a chain restaurant, customers come for hygiene and taste, as long as the service is good and the quality is good, these interpersonal relationships are not so important. ”

This is a personal society, Huang Guoqing couldn't understand what his wife and brother said, but it was not easy to ask in detail, so he had to say yes again and again. But his submissiveness made the Li family smile bitterly, because the second brother-in-law in the family was not the first to have a sense of awe for himself, but he was more obvious. The uncles and aunts in their hometown, in addition to the second uncle and second aunt, even the ancestor and Aunt Cha Ju are in awe of themselves, and they all reveal a kind of politeness when they speak.

"Jiaming"

Broken Mandarin came from behind him, and Li Jiaming looked back, a polite smile on his face.

"Brother Jin Zhe, this is my brother-in-law, who is in the chain restaurant industry, and I will ask my brother to take care of me in the future and charge less store rent." ”

The greeting was Xu Jinzhe of the Hui family in Hong Kong, a graduate of Stanford, ten years older than Li Jiaming, but he is not famous. However, his cousin is a famous flower boy who has had scandals with many actresses. If nothing else, she will marry the most beautiful Hong Kong sister in Hong Kong in the future. If it were replaced by his cousin's visit, Li Jiaming might pay attention to it, but this is the grandson of the Xu family, and he is a rice worm who only focuses on enjoyment and not struggle, so he really can't be interested.

"I don't need you to introduce it, the National Day brother is a celebrity, a well-known fast food industry tycoon in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. ”

Although Huang Guoqing is introverted, he is also a person who has made hundreds of fast food restaurants larger, and others take the initiative to greet him, but he is also decent. The three of them chatted casually, and Huang Guoqing walked away under the pretext of chatting with this Mr. Xu, he didn't feel anything, but with his wife and brother, he always felt a little depressed, even if it was his own wife and brother.

"Jiaming, your brother-in-law?"

Everyone is not familiar with each other, so they came to greet themselves, there must be something, it is estimated that it is for the listing of Lifang. But this person is too unsophisticated, obviously he wants himself, but he uses his brother-in-law as a talk, I really don't know where these wealthy children get their sense of superiority?

Li Jiaming, who laughed secretly, diverted the topic and said: "It's okay, everyone's personality, it's been better in the past two years, and it used to be a gourd with a sawed mouth." Hey, if you don't come to me in the pile of beautiful women, it shouldn't be something, right?"

The handsome and dignified Xu Jinzhe knew that Li Jiaming was perfunctory, but he didn't mind, if it wasn't for the relationship between the two of them as an alumnus, maybe he wouldn't have found an excuse to chat with this party Haoxiong.

"It's not a big deal, just a little bit of the alumni association. I didn't feel it in school before, but after graduating more than ten years later, I began to miss my alma mater. We want to have a party, do you have time?"

Eating, drinking, and having fun with a group of rich third and fourth generations? Li Jiaming really doesn't have this Yaxing, but it's not easy to refuse, after all, everyone is still an alumni.

"Brother Jin Zhe, I really don't have time, if my sister hadn't called and scolded people today, I should have been arguing with people in my hometown at this time. ”

"Hometown?"

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, Li Jiaming said bluntly: "Brother Jin Zhe, my teacher is an official, and he always wants to take out more money from me to set up a factory, in my hometown, in addition to doing bamboo and wood processing industry, what else can I do? Instead of running some loss-making factories, I might as well donate more money to run education." ”

This is an excuse, but Li Jiaming said it very sincerely, and Xu Jinzhe, who asked for him, was also skeptical.

"Ok, then we won't force it, and we will have a chance to get together again in the future."
