Chapter 290: Invitation from the Two Big Guys!
Chapter 290: Invitations from the two bigwigs
In Hong Kong, there is a name for himself on one acre and three points of land, or only people with a little insight know that Mr. Huo, who is the president of the Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, and Li Chaoren, the richest man in Hong Kong and owns the Cheung Kong Industrial Group Company, are both well-known for their frugality, and compared with some rich people who are not as good as them, they each have their own hobbies, some people like to pack * stars, some people like to buy mansions everywhere, and some people like to continue his "patriotic complex". But Old Man Huo and Li Chaoren have always been very thrifty, especially Li Chaoren, who has been living in a dilapidated house for nearly 2 years. This kind of frugality makes the whole Hong Kong people talk about it, of course, Li Chaoren is still very generous in other aspects.
For this time the invitation letter personally issued by the two of them to hold a party in the Huo family manor, everyone felt strange. These two Hong Kong tycoons have always held parties in person that can be counted on their fingers, and they don't want some people, so they often like to have a party and have a lively time. And this time, it was two people who posted it, which made everyone feel very strange.
Strange is strange, but you still have to go, first, both of them are bigwigs in Hong Kong, and they can't help but give face, and second, they really want to know what the two bigwigs are doing with this party. When celebrities all over Hong Kong received this invitation, they almost all had such an attitude in their hearts.
Of course, there are a few people who are exceptions, one is Sir Youde, the governor of Hong Kong, who received an invitation letter from the secretary, Sir Youde opened it and looked at it, and saw that it was jointly invited by Mr. Huo and Li Chaoren, and he was still a little strange in his heart, but remembering another piece of news he got, Sir Youde knew why this party was, Sir Youde smiled, they government personnel had to have a good relationship with these rich businessmen, so that even if they couldn't go to the next level, they would live a very nourishing life. He still has to go to the joint invitation letter of Old Man Huo and Li Chaoren, and the purpose of this party is even more unbearable, and there are some things that he still has to talk about with that person.
Another person is Yan Liguo, Commissioner of Police of the Royal Hong Kong Police, when he was about to get off work today, he suddenly received an invitation letter from the secretary, Yan Liguo looked through it, and saw that it was a joint invitation letter from Mr. Huo and Li Chaoren, and he was a little strange in his heart.
After returning home in the evening, Yan Liguo had dinner with his wife. Yan Liguo told his wife about this, and his wife was a resourceful person, and after he became the Commissioner of Police on the Hong Kong side, his wife followed her husband to Oriental Hong Kong. Over the years. Because of this lady's mention everywhere, although he did not go to the next level, it is not a big deal, and this part of Hong Kong is also thriving, of course, if there is a chance, he is still willing to return to the UK, because there is a broader stage for him to swing.
Madame listened. I thought about it for a moment. picked up the exquisite invitation letter on the table again, and after not seeing anything, he felt a little strange in his heart, and he didn't say anything about the invitation of Old Man Huo and Li Chaoren. After a while, Yan Liguo's wife said to him: "It is enough to show the importance of this party that the two of them can jointly invite a party, but they didn't say anything about it, and we don't have to guess anymore, just go over when the time comes." ”
Yan Liguo didn't say anything, he couldn't call and ask what was going on. I think that as long as the time comes, I will know, and generally such gatherings are only good for politicians like them. At about 9 o'clock, the phone in Yan Liguo's country rang suddenly, and there was nothing strange about the sudden memory of the phone. Someone in this position. I often answer some phone calls in my spare time. As usual, a maid went to answer the phone.
Yan Liguo, who didn't care too much about the phone, crossed Erlang's legs easily and looked at the newspaper in his hand. He guessed that someone must have asked him to do something. Generally at this time, and it is selective to call at home, generally hoping that you can take care of it, or have something to do by yourself.
"Sir, a gentleman named Brell came to you and asked you to answer the phone." The nanny was also specially brought from the UK, as an authentic British, Yan Liguo was worried that the nanny here was not as good as the nanny who had been with him for many years, and Yan Liguo also heard that the nanny in the East was not clean, and he was not willing to use such a person.
"What, you mean Breel?" Hearing the nanny's respectful words, Yan Liguo immediately put down the newspaper in his hand, and then tidied up his clothes. If he didn't hear it wrong, this Blair must be his old father-in-law, he didn't know what his old father-in-law called him at this time, but looking for himself so late at night and not letting his wife answer the phone, there must be something unusual to tell him to do.
After receiving the phone from the maid, Yan Liguo immediately said with some respect: "Hey, hello, I'm RymnAnning." ”
Yan Liguo is a British, but he is in Hong Kong, a Chinese place, in order to better integrate in, in order to better communicate with these Chinese businessmen, he also gave a Chinese name, when facing Hong Kong businessmen, he used his Chinese name, and when facing British officials, he used his real name.
On the phone, Yan Liguo's attitude was very respectful, and his tone also revealed respect and cordiality, after all, he was his father-in-law, and no matter how old his father-in-law was, he was also his wife's father, that is, his Yan Liguo's father, so it was relatively cordial. Although Yan Liguo's wife didn't stand too far, she didn't hear the sound of the phone, he naturally knew that it was his father on the other end of the phone, but private affairs were private affairs, and business affairs were official affairs, which was something that his father had always told her to pay attention to, so she generally wouldn't listen to her husband when he answered the phone, no matter how big or small the matter was. Seeing that her husband was respectful and kind, she was naturally happy, after all, no one wanted to leave a cold business between the family.
Her father called so late, it was naturally an important matter, and she could only hope that this incident was a good thing, otherwise, the date of her and her husband's return to China might be lengthened.
Yan Liguo and his wife have been in Hong Kong for more than two years, although they live in Hong Kong very nourishingly, but Hong Kong is not Britain after all, nor is it a place where British people live, Hong Kong is nominally British territory, but this place is too Chinese, and the sinicization is a little uncomfortable for these two couples, think about how many years they have also been to some other overseas areas of the United Kingdom, those places are almost completely ruled by British culture, and some people have even forgotten their original language, but in Hong Kong, nearly 15 years of ruleHong Kong is still Hong Kong, a place that makes them feel both intimate and uncomfortable.
Seeing her husband put down the phone, she hurriedly stepped forward and looked at her husband expectantly, at this time Yan Liguo had already recovered, there was still a trace of excitement in his face, and after calming down for a while, Yan Liguo said with a smile: "My father-in-law called me to tell me something, let me do this well." ”
When Madame heard this, she smiled and asked, "What did Dad ask you to do?" ”
Yan Liguo smiled and didn't say anything, just walked to the place where he had just put away the invitation, took out the invitation, and then smiled lightly, and said to his wife: "I guess it should have something to do with this matter." ”
"What does it have to do with this party? Could it be that it has something to do with Old Man Huo and Li Chaoren? Yan Liguo's wife looked surprised, and looked at Yan Liguo with some incredulity.
"You also look up to them too much, this matter has nothing to do with them, speaking of which they are just a small businessman, although their company is very large, but it is not enough to attract the attention of my British Empire, but it has something to do with Old Man Huo. My father-in-law said that there was a big man who had come to Hong Kong, and that there had been some conflict between that big man and Hop Hing Society, so that I had to obey Sir Youde's decision, and that everything could be done to that big man as long as it did not harm the interests of the British Empire. "Yan Liguo was still a little unbelievable when he said these words, did that big man really have such great energy? actually let himself, the Royal Commissioner of Hong Kong Police, listen to him.
"Not to the detriment of the interests of the British Empire? Everything is up to the man? Is this possible without skipping words. Yan Liguo's wife asked in some surprise. To be honest, Yan Liguo was also very surprised when he heard such words just now. Is this what an orthodox English aristocrat said?
"That's what my father-in-law said, saying that the man had a relationship with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative Party, and that I had to have a good relationship with the big man, which would be good for my future." Yan Liguo said.
"Then dad said that the big man is who he is, don't jump words. Hearing her husband say that this was related to his future, Yan Liguo's wife hurriedly asked.
Yan Liguo's wife is now anxious to know who came to Hong Kong to make the Prime Minister of the British Empire and her father pay attention to it. And listening to the husband's meaning, as long as he has a good relationship with that person, it will also be good for his husband's future, and it is enough for his father to say such things.
"Lin Yu, a Chinese." Yan Liguo said word by word.
