Chapter 193: The Huo Family's Banquet (I)
The car drove and stopped outside the gate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lei Juewen took his sister Lei Jiayin and the two got out of the car, and the waiter was already standing on the side, leading the two in.
The lights are brilliant and the flowers are abundant.
Lei Jiayin held Lei Juewen's hand, and after entering the gate, he turned his head and said, "Brother, this place is much bigger than our family." ”
Lei Juewen was also looking at this mansion, this was the first time he came to this mansion, and he replied with a smile when he heard this: "Of course it's bigger than our family, this is a famous stone manor, covering an area of about 3,000 square meters." However, there are a lot of people in the Huo family, and our Lei family is only two brothers and sisters, and on average, we live in a bigger place than them. ”
Lei Jiayin smiled and said, "Brother, how can you compare like this." ”
Lei Juewen couldn't help laughing, the reason why the two brothers and sisters came here today was because they received an invitation from the Huo family, known as the first wealthy family on Hong Kong Island, and the name was Huo Yingdong, the head of the Huo family, celebrating his birthday.
Lei Juewen was puzzled by Huo Yingdong's invitation to him, the Lei family used to be pro-British, and even if he was not a sworn enemy with the Huo family, at least he had no contact, when the Lei Lin Group was destroyed, these pro-northern factions were more or less contributing, and the Huo family was naturally no exception, so Lei Juewen didn't understand why the other party invited him to the banquet. But although it is strange, since the invitation was sent, Lei Juewen naturally would not go, so he brought his sister Lei Jiayin over.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Lei Juewen and Lei Jiayin came to the main building and walked into the hall from the gate. Lei Juewen, who was standing at the door of the hall, swept his eyes and saw many famous rich people on Hong Kong Island in the hall.
"It's Lei Sheng, right?"
As soon as Lei Juewen and Lei Jiayin walked into the hall, a man and a woman walked over to them, and the man stretched out his hand and said, "I'm Huo Zhenting, this is my lover Zhu Linlin." ”
"Hello, Mr. Huo, I'm Lei Juewen."
Lei Juewen stretched out his hand and shook Huo Zhenting, pointed to Lei Jiayin beside him and said, "This is my sister Lei Jiayin." ”
"Miss Lei, you're so beautiful."
Huo Zhenting praised it, stretched out his hand and shook Lei Jiayin.
Lei Jiayin smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
After the polite handshake, Huo Zhenting invited the two of them in, and said as he walked: "The two of you can come, I thank you on behalf of my father." ”
Lei Juewen said: "Mr. Huo is polite, Huo Lao's birthday, how can we who are juniors not come." ”
Lei Juewen and Lei Jiayin were taken by Huo Zhenting to a place where several young people gathered, these people are in their thirties at most, and for the older generation, they can be said to be juniors.
Among these people, Lei Juewen has seen only one, that is Zheng Jiachun, the eldest son of Zheng Yutong, the owner of Chow Tai Fook, and the two have met several times and communicated because Lei Juewen has bought a lot of jewelry from Chow Tai Fook.
"Brother is here, let me introduce you."
Zheng Jiachun saw Lei Juewen arrive and introduced Lei Juewen to several people who were chatting with him.
"This is Lin Jianming, the eldest son of Mr. Lin of Lai Sun Group, this is Wu Zhengguang, the second son-in-law of Mr. Bao Lao, the shipowner, and this is Guo Licheng, the eldest son of Mr. Guo of Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts Group."
Every time Zheng Jiachun introduced one, Lei Juewen shook hands with them, and when he shook hands with Guo Licheng, Lei Juewen looked at him very strangely, because he found that Guo Licheng shook hands with a little bit of force, which seemed very unfriendly. But Lei Juewen didn't understand very much, he and Guo Licheng had never met, why was the other party unfriendly to him? Could it be that the Lei family and their Guo family, what other grudges he doesn't know? Although it was strange, on this occasion, Lei Juewen didn't show it, he just kept it in his heart.
After Zheng Jiachun introduced him, Huo Zhenting, who arrived with the two brothers and sisters, said: "Lei Sheng, let me introduce you, these two are my younger brother Huo Zhenyu and Huo Zhenhuan. ”
Lei Juewen shook hands with the two of them and said hello.
Lei Juewen didn't understand what the Huo family invited him to do here, but if nothing happened, he would just treat it as if he didn't know, and just come here to attend a birthday party.
The Huo family also had to entertain other guests, and after chatting a few words, Huo Zhenting and his wife and Huo Zhenyu left one after another, leaving Huo Zhenhuan to accompany a few people.
Several people here are all children of wealthy families on Hong Kong Island, and while chatting, a few people naturally talked about business.
Zheng Jiachun said to Lei Juewen: "Brother, you have made another good deal recently, brother, I haven't congratulated you yet." ”
Lei Juewen said with a smile: "Brother Zheng said that it was just a small business, which is like you Chow Tai Fook, it can be said that it is a daily income." ”
Zheng Jiachun shook his head and said, "Small business? Not necessarily, right? Brother, I've done the math for you, your "Tianxia" magazine sold nearly 200,000 copies in the first week, and it reached 270,000 copies in the second week last week. ”
Lei Juewen waved his hand and said: "It's not as exaggerated as you said, Brother Zheng, how can there be nearly 10 million incomes, how can you cut it in half." He knows best about the monthly income, it is indeed tens of millions, but he will not honestly say it, "Tianxia" signed two more advertisements last week, a total of 3.3 million Hong Kong dollars, five advertisements have 6 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the sales of the weekly, a steady income of 10 million Hong Kong dollars. After the expiration of the first three advertising contracts, with the increase in sales, the advertising fee will naturally be added, and the latter two newly signed advertisements are examples, and the monthly income will not only be just 10 million Hong Kong dollars, not to mention that the comics have not yet been released as a single book.
Zheng Jiachun shook his head when he heard this: "Brother, don't fool me, others don't know, I still don't know your income?" He has a reason not to believe it, Chow Tai Fook's advertisement in "Under Heaven" cost 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and "Under Heaven" has a total of five advertisements, with an average of one million Hong Kong dollars each, which is 5 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the sales of the weekly itself, how can it be that it is only 5 million Hong Kong dollars, at least 7 or 8 million Hong Kong dollars, and he will not believe it.
Lei Juewen smiled, and before he could say anything, Wu Zhengguang, the second son-in-law of the ship king, said: "Even if he only has an income of five million Hong Kong dollars, Lei Sheng has made a good deal, with an annual income of sixty million Hong Kong dollars, and a market value of three or four billion Hong Kong dollars. ”
Lei Juewen listened and said: "Wu Sheng said that he laughed, the "Tianxia" magazine has only been published for two weeks, if there is this kind of sales throughout the year, then it will be auspicious for you." ”
Wu Zhengguang's words are not wrong, but this requires the sales of "Tianxia" magazine not to decrease, otherwise if the sales volume is low, how can there be such a possibility as an annual income of 60 million Hong Kong dollars and a market value of 3.4 billion Hong Kong dollars.
