Chapter 294: The Gathering (3)

Hearing Old Man Bao's words, Old Man Huo Haha Xiaodao: "Your old Bao's eyes are poisonous, and you deserve to be the descendant of Bao Heizi."

Bao Heizi is naturally Bao Qingtian Bao Zheng during the Song Dynasty, but Lin Yu doesn't think that Old Man Bao has any connection with Bao Heizi no matter how he looks at it. As we all know, Bao Heizi is notoriously dark-skinned, but Old Man Bao is fair-skinned, which is also related to his pampering for many years

In Hong Kong, as we all know, the ship king Bao is the descendant of Bao Zheng, this matter has to be said in 1964, has left his hometown for many years Bao Yugang with a deep affection for his hometown, returned to Ningbo to visit, this trip home, he visited the oldest library in the south of the Yangtze River "Tianyi Pavilion". On this day, the ancient book management staff of "Tianyi Pavilion" heard that the visitor was Mr. Bao Yugang, the king of Hong Kong, so they specially brought out a set of "Bao's Family Tree" treasured by "Tianyi Pavilion" to Mr. Bao. The "Bao Family Tree" in this set of thread-bound ancient books records the root system of the Bao family. Bao Yugang immediately checked the "Bao Family Tree", and followed the Bao family's continuous vein, and unexpectedly found that he was the 29th generation grandson of Bao Zheng, and shouted happily: "I am the descendant of Bao Qingtian" This matter also became a topic of conversation among the Hong Kong people at that time.

However, Lin Yu didn't know about this, Old Man Huo saw Lin Yu's puzzled eyes, and said to Lin Yu with a smile: "Xiaoyu, don't underestimate Lao Bao, that is the descendant of the authentic Bao Qingtian, which is evidenced by the genealogy of the Bao type." ”

Lin Yu was stunned, but he didn't expect that this world-famous charter boat king was really a descendant of Bao Qingtian Bao Zheng, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I didn't expect Bao Lao to be a descendant of Bao Qingtian, it's really unexpected." ”

Old Man Bao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it at the beginning, but after checking the genealogy, I didn't expect it to be true, but I know it, and I have nothing to be proud of, it is the glory of our ancestors, let's be proud of our achievements, haha." He laughed.

Indeed, Mr. Bao's current achievements are enough to make him proud.

In 1978, Pao Yugang's maritime kingdom reached its peak, firmly sitting in the first place of the world's top ten ship kings, one of the top ten consortia in Hong Kong, and founded the "Global Shipping Group".

Pao's fleet reached its peak in 1980, with more than 200 ships and a total tonnage of 20 million tons. Foreign newspapers devoted a great deal of space to Pao Yugang, with the headline "Bigger than Onassis and Niakos -- Sir Pao of Hong Kong." The following year, Pao's fleet had a total tonnage of 21 million tons, larger than the total tonnage of the national fleets of the United States and the Soviet Union, making him a veritable "king of the world"

Hong Kong now has more than 4.5 million tons of ships, second only to the United States, as one of the world's shipping centers, and these developments are inseparable from Pao's contribution to the shipping industry. Because of his position in international shipping, he was noticed and appreciated by heads of state and big entrepreneurs. Queen Elizabeth knighted him, and the King of Belgium, the President of President Ma, the President of Brazil, and the Emperor of Japan awarded him the Order of Merit. This is an honor that no major entrepreneur in the world has ever received. Former British Prime Minister Heath specially invited him to a banquet at the villa and asked him in detail about his business methods. In 1981, when US President Ronald Reagan held his inauguration ceremony, Pao Yugang was invited to attend as a distinguished guest. His phone can be reached directly at the White House, and he is always available to speak to the President of the United States.

In the 70s, he decided to gradually shift his focus to land. A portion of the property earned will be invested in the increasingly booming real estate sector, which also operates hotels and transportation. In order to achieve such brilliant achievements on land as at sea, he and Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong, launched a thrilling struggle with the British capital group, which is the famous "Wharf War".

This battle caused a sensation in the entire Xiangjiang, greatly increased the morale of the Chinese, and dealt a blow to the arrogance of the British-funded consortium.

What Lin Yu admires most is Old Man Bao, but what makes Lin Yu interested in Old Man Bao is not this, but the relationship between the King of Chartered Boats and the old man of his godfather.

In Hong Kong, if you want to say that the person with the best relationship with the mainland, I believe that everyone will choose Mr. Huo, but many people also know that Mr. Bao and the mainland also have a relationship no less than Mr. Huo, that is, he has a lot of friendship with the old man who is known as the general design of reform and opening up.

In 81, the father and son of the charter boat king met with the old man, and the two sides met often after that time, sometimes even several times a year, but Lin Yu did not see the old man Bao in the capital. The relationship between the old man and Mr. Bao has also slowly developed from a personal friendship to a good family. Lin Yu also learned about this matter from Mr. Lin before he came to Hong Kong, and after those old people knew that Lin Yu was coming to Hong Kong, they also asked Lin Yu to go to Mr. Bao if he had anything to do in Hong Kong, so to speak, the relationship between Lin Yu and Mr. Bao was similar to that of Mr. Huo, and both of them had a lot of relationship with him.

Thinking of this relationship, Lin Yu smiled and said to Mr. Bao: "Old man, before I came to Hong Kong, my godfather also asked me to replace you, and his old man also mentioned you in front of me. ”

When Mr. Bao heard this, he laughed and said, "I thought you kid wouldn't recognize me, by the way, your godfather, his old man and your grandfather are all right?" ”

Lin Yu said with a smile: "The two old men are in good health, but they often miss the old men who are far away in Hong Kong, saying that the development of the country is inseparable from you patriotic businessmen, and I hope you can go back often to see if you are fine." ”

"You......" Old Man Bao and several old men said with a smile.

Originally, when Lin Yu spoke, several old men were still a little puzzled, how did it seem that this young man still had a relationship with Lao Bao, hearing Lin Yu say that he was a godfather, many people were puzzled, who is this young man's godfather, and if he can know Lao Bao, his absolute status will not be low, but after hearing the conversation between the two, a few old men can understand who the old man in their mouth is? But knowing that they knew, they were shocked at the same time, they had already thought that this young man would have a deep background, but they didn't expect him to have such a big background, no wonder Lao Huo and Lao Li attached so much importance to him.

Thinking of this, the eyes of several old men looking at Lin Yu were a lot kinder, with such a background and such an identity, how could they not be taken seriously?
