Chapter 292: The Gathering (1)
Chapter 292: Gathering (1)
Although the time has reached the beginning of spring, Hong Kong, which is located in the south, is still a little cold, but even so, there is still an endless stream of people who come to Huo's Manor.
The Huo family, as a big family with wealth in Hong Kong's financial industry, has few families who have cooperated and corresponded with it, and there are many people who rely on the Huo family to survive, so before six o'clock in the evening, the Xue family's manor was already full of guests.
This party was arranged in the huge manor hall, and the old man Huo was wearing a brand-new Tang costume, pulling a jasper stick, practicing his spirits, and greeting the people who came with a smile. Li Chaoren also greeted everyone with a smile, looking at the smiles on the faces of the two, many people were wondering if the two of them had any big business moves, otherwise how could they be smiling.
Lin Yu wore a straight dress, sat leisurely in a corner of the hall, holding a glass of juice, tasting slowly, turning his head to look around, all the gorgeously dressed guests in the hall of nearly 1,000 square meters men and women gathered in groups of three or five, or discussing, or laughing, or listening, one by one, they were talking and laughing, and they were happy. The well-dressed and well-mannered servants who carry trays full of wine glasses and weave through the crowd from time to time, all these elements combine to set off the splendor of this opulent and luxurious hall.
This is the villa mansion of the famous bigwigs and billionaires in Hong Kong, and many of them are here for the first time.
Although it is not the first time for Lin Yu to participate in this kind of similar party, when he was in the United States, Lin Yu rarely participated in such a party, no way, since he was invited by Wall Street, many rich people will invite him when they hold a party, and Lin Yu is not easy not to go, so Lin Yu has not participated in such a party.
Every party is basically to see a group of old men and women socializing hypocritically together, and the young people either learn to cheat like those old people, or they are a pus-filled loser, bragging about themselves there.
Such a party plays hypocrisy, and the world is most famous for the hypocrisy and euphemism of the Chinese, Lin Yu does not know what kind of people he will meet in this party, what kind of people he will meet, originally he was not in a hurry to come, but think that this is a gathering between Old Man Huo and Li Chaoren, and it is mainly for him, so after thinking about it, he and Liu Qianjing came over early.
But when he came, he found that there were not many people who came now, and Lin Yu basically didn't know any of the people who came, and it was estimated that they were all little-known people, Lin Yu called a waiter and asked, "Why are you so good?" ”
"No, today Huo Lao and Li Lao are invited by almost all celebrities in Hong Kong's political and business circles, and of course friends from the entertainment industry will come to cheer, but the time has not yet come, so everyone has not come." The waiter said politely.
After Lin Yu heard this, he didn't think about anything, so he pulled Liu Qianjing to sit in a corner.
Just when Lin Yu was thinking wildly, a luxury car slowly drove into the manor, every guest who came will be strictly inspected at the door, and must show an invitation card to be released, in order to prevent accidents, Mr. Huo and Li Chaoren also sent the company's security guards to strictly protect every corner of the manor.
Seeing familiar license plates and faces scribbling in front of them, the reporters who were waiting at the door of the villa were all shocked, not only the governor of Hong Kong, the secretary of the financial bureau, the president of the court, the commissioner of police, the minister of commerce and other high-level dignitaries of the government brought their families to the scene, and even the rich and famous people in Hong Kong were not lacking, and they brought their juniors to the scene. In particular, the arrival of several bigwigs such as the charter boat king and Mr. Chen made this party directly raise the level.
In fact, Old Man Huo and Li Chaoren had already called a few bigwigs when they posted and explained the purpose of this party a little, otherwise, they would not have come to the party if they were not allowed to go out easily.
Of course, Ye Rongxuan and Ye Shuya, brothers and sisters, were also brought by the old man of the Ye family, and when they saw Lin Yu and the two sitting in the corner, the two walked over to this side.
"Xiaoyu, why are you sitting here, you must know that this party is mainly for you, you are the protagonist sitting here, so what is the meaning of this party." After saying hello to Liu Qianjing, Ye Rongxuan said with a smile.
"You have this spare time, why don't you introduce me to who are here?" Lin Yu said speechlessly.
With the passage of time, there are more and more people in the hall now, and some Lin Yu feels familiar, but more are strange.
"It's all all politicians and rich and celebrities in Hong Kong, you don't need to know them, they will come to know you when the time comes." Having said that, he still picked up some important people and gave Lin Yu a brief explanation.
Through his introduction, Lin Yu learned that today's political leaders and celebrities from all walks of life in Hong Kong are almost all present, and the whole scene can be called grand, with many dignitaries gathered and many celebrities.
Those card-playing stars will naturally not be invited by Mr. Huo, but Huo Zhenyu and they invited them to come to the show, and many first- and second-tier stars have not received invitations, but have been brought in by major rich and celebrities, this toothpaste can not only make rich and famous people have face, but also give these first- and second-tier stars the opportunity to show their faces on such upper-level occasions, increase some popularity, and maybe get to know some big people, which is very important for their development. If the celebrities can't even appear at these upper-level gatherings, it can only mean that their popularity has declined.
All in all, there are almost all the celebrities in Hong Kong who talk about everything from financial matters to anecdotes from the upper echelons, and many of the trends on Hong Kong Island can be determined by a few jokes. If there was a media reporter here, he would have been the biggest news topic in decades.
Any one of the people present who walked out was not a person who stomped his feet and trembled, especially those old men who were famous, which one of them was not prestigious? What's more, with so many bigwigs gathered together, it can be said that if these people present stomp their feet one more, Hong Kong will immediately change color. Whoever sees it can't help but re-evaluate Zhu Jianjun's strength.
With such a Huali lineup, not only Lin Yu didn't expect it, but even Huo Zhenyu and others were surprised, they naturally knew what the purpose of the old man's party this time was, but they didn't expect the old man to hold it with such fanfare, and Li Chaoren also stepped in, which can be said to have given Lin Yu enough face.
I believe that after this gathering, no one will underestimate Lin Yu, an outsider.
In Hong Kong, strength determines your status.
Looking at the countless slightly unfamiliar and somewhat familiar faces in the hall, Lin Yu's heart can be said to be overturned, who are these people, the rich people in Hong Kong now, the top rich people in Hong Kong in the next ten or twenty years, and the big people who have led Hong Kong's economy for decades.
Just when Lin Yu and Ye Rongxuan were chatting, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Xiaoyu, why are you hiding here, it really makes me easy to find for a while." ”
Lin Yu turned his head and saw that it was Huo Zhenyu who strode over, and he kept saying something.
With his voice, the city attracted a lot of attention, and many guests saw Lin Yu at the beginning, although he looked dignified and magnificent, but after all, he was too young, and most of them thought that this was just a descendant of which family brought him to see the world, otherwise how could no one greet him for so long, but when Ye Rongxuan passed, everyone began to guess Lin Yu's identity, you must know that Ye Rongxuan is very famous in Hong Kong, It is not easy for the Ye family to move towards the ranks of Hong Kong's top families under his leadership. Now I actually sit with a young man talking and laughing, which can't help but make people think about it. Just when a few people wanted to go up and make a talk, Huo Zhenyu came, and greeted him as soon as he came, which made people even more surprised.
Although Huo Zhenyu did not work in the Huo family's company, everyone knew that he was the most valued son of Old Man Huo, and now seeing Huo Zhenyu greeting Lin Yu so affectionately, they were all shocked, and everyone felt that their nerves were beating hard a few times, and many people regretted that they didn't go up to say hello just now, but it was too late to say anything now.
Seeing everyone's suspicious gaze, Lin Yu smiled bitterly, stood up and greeted Ye Rongxuan together, and said, "Uncle Huo, why are you here?" Don't entertain guests, don't skip words.
Huo Zhenyu hugged Lin Yu's shoulders affectionately, and said with a smile: "What guest?" Aren't you the most honored guest? Okay, come with me, the old man is looking for you everywhere. ”
Lin Yu listened to it and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Huo, today's movement is a bit too big." ”
Huo Zhenyu said with a smile: "You kid knows how to keep a low profile, today's matter was arranged by the old man, if you have any questions, just ask him." Now, come with me. ”
Lin Yu smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at Ye Rongxuan's brothers and sisters, and said, "Both, then I'll go over first." ”
"Go ahead, don't let Huo Lao wait for a long time, we'll also walk around the hall in a while." Huo Rongxuan said with a smile.
Lin Yu nodded, and Ye Shuya on the side hurriedly looked at Huo Zhenyu and asked, "Third brother, what about Xianqiang?" ”
Huo Zhenyu listened, smiled, and said, "Xianqiang, it should be in the hall, you may be able to meet him after a while." Rong Xuan, help me entertain guests, I'll take Xiaoyu over. ”
After seeing Ye Rongxuan nodding, Huo Zhenyu pulled Lin Yu and left.
