Chapter 557: Old and Not Dead as a Thief
Ten days later, the Beijing Master Pang Mansion feasted, Pang Taigong's 100th birthday, and all directions came to congratulate.
This is another major event that has caused a sensation in Beijing and even the upper echelons of China this year.
As the largest family in China, the Pang clan controls the energy, real estate, military industry and other pillar industries of the entire China, and the power is intertwined, and the descendants are even more competitive, among the Pang clan, only the most unproductive, the most unpopular go to business, and those who are capable, either in politics or in the military, firmly around the center of power, have never relaxed.
Although a month ago, Ponzi's face was beaten by the Lin family and the legendary man, and he also lost several earth-level powerhouses, but in the eyes of others, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, Ponzi's family has such a big cause, deep-rooted, a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, far from the point of collapse, the next battle, who will die, is still unknown.
Especially in the past month, the Lin clan has rarely made any substantive moves against the major families, and the powerful figure that caused everyone's headache has not appeared again, which undoubtedly gives the Huaxia families a respite.
For a time, all kinds of legends arose, and the most ferocious thing was that the man suddenly disappeared, and he would kill himself if he committed many injustices, and he was too arrogant because of his strength, so he was secretly cleaned up by the masters. Although the major families are still cautiously optimistic, such similar rumors are spreading more and more.
And the Lin family didn't make any response to this, but it seemed that there were two fights within the Lin family, although they were finally forced down by Old Man Lin, but in this process, the man who stood firmly behind Old Man Lin every time. Again, it never reappeared.
The families who received the news were even more excited, and they smelled something unusual. But no one dared to speak first, although there was already an undercurrent surging on the boundary of the capital. But the surface is still the same as before.
So this time, the old lady Pang held a 100th birthday banquet, which is of great significance in the eyes of the major families. As the first family in China, if the Pang family does not stand up and raise his arms at this time, I am afraid that the position of the first family in China will be given to the Lin family.
Everyone is paying attention to the every move of Pang and Lin, and every confrontation between them is likely to be a big move related to the entire Chinese national fortune.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Pang Mansion was already full of friends and guests. Before the official opening, the exquisite dishes that appeared on the flowing water table have already amazed many people. "The Pang family is really a wealthy family! This is a small white fish in boiling water transported from Tianchi, the meat is delicious and sweet, and it can survive in a hot spring at 70 degrees, and this ingredient is simply hard to find! Stewed for more than three hours with the above, and then accompanied by the old mountain ginseng hanging flavor, this taste, don't mention it! Absolutely! A gourmet, who is clearly a good eater, is excitedly introducing to the crowd.
A pot of fish soup was served, and the guests who knew the goods were amazed. To know. This is just a pre-dinner snack, not a delicacy at the official opening of the table. "What's this! Have you noticed? The tea in our cup is all first-class purple rhyme Biluochun from Yunwu Mountain, and there are so many guests in the audience. Tea alone, at least 30 million will be smashed, if it is not enough. My Xu Dachang's name will be written backwards in the future! “
The one who spoke was the boss of Dah Chong Commercial Bank. He is also the patriarch of the Xu family in Luoyin, and their Dachang Commercial Bank mainly operates high-end cultural industries. The tea ceremony is one of their main activities, and Xu Dachang is definitely a connoisseur among the connoisseurs, and he will never say such a thing easily. "Well, the Pang family really deserves to be the first in China, even these white porcelains used in our banquet are all century-old porcelain produced in Jingdezhen, they set up this banquet, this kind of century-old porcelain will be out of stock on the market for at least one year, it's amazing!" As he spoke, he gently rubbed his fingers against the cup noodles, looking like he couldn't put it down. "Lao Shi, you can look away this time, our outer seats are indeed used in the hundred-year-old porcelain, but look at the main table over there, what kind of porcelain is used on the twenty seats on the main table? That grade is much more valuable than the century-old porcelain we have at hand! “
The two people who spoke were both famous porcelain players, and they were quite famous in the antique circle, if they hadn't attended the Pang family's birthday banquet today, others really didn't know that they were also characters in the Huaxia family.
Ponzi's birthday banquet, a total of about 300 seats, each table of ten people, the outermost is these small family representatives, most of them are concentrated in the development of the business industry, close to the main table of the table, all of them are the military and political circles of weight and weight of the famous family, they are the backbone of the Chinese family.
Several of Ling Qingfeng's friends, their respective families also sent representatives to congratulate him, the Lan family sat in the position between the outer circle and the backbone, the Gao family was slightly closer to the main table than the Lan family, and the real Pang family in the middle was the Zhang, Li, Chen, Wu, Guo five major families Huaxia family, only the Lin family was missing.
If the Lin family is also willing to send people to participate, then the Huaxia family can be said to be gathered together, a rare grand scene.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the host of the 100th birthday banquet of the old lady Pang, Pang Yuqing, who was a talent, stood in front of the stage. "Distinguished guests, relatives and friends, today is the 100th birthday of our old man of the Pang family, thank you very much for coming! Let us wish the old man a day every year, and a future every year! After Pang Yuqing finished speaking, the audience raised a glass.
"Next, I would like to invite our birthday star Mrs. Pang to say a few words to you."
After that, the host Pang Yuqing stood aside, and Mrs. Pang was in a wheelchair and walked out by two children and grandchildren.
As soon as he saw Mrs. Pang's spirit, she immediately won the applause of the house.
Ruling the family for a hundred years, what a glory and what luck this is, all the family patriarchs present hope that they can be the same as the old man in the hall, holding the authority and living a long life, this is also the life realm that the children of the family dream of, a miracle life!
At the same time, some people also noticed that the two young people who pushed Mrs. Pang's wheelchair out, one was the eldest grandson of Pang's family, Pang Yu, the first-hand Jingshi who had not shown up for many days, and the person who accompanied him in the wheelchair was an extremely beautiful girl, and she was also a strange woman who was famous in Beijing. Guo's jade has grown into a jade and is known as Guo Caiyu, a jade beauty!
Unexpectedly. I really didn't expect Guo Caiyu to appear on such a formal occasion. She and Pang Yu are holding Mrs. Pang's wheelchair together, and the meaning contained in this is special!
For a while, more than half of the children of the family present set their eyes on the Guo representative sitting in the front seat.
As we all know, in the battle between the Guo family and the Lin family a while ago, their vitality was greatly damaged, and even the clan master was gone! And the Pang Clan also suffered heavy casualties in that battle, and was ruthlessly beaten by the Lin Clan and Ling Linfeng.
Now the two of them put on such a high-profile rhythm and appeared on such an important occasion as Mrs. Pang's birthday banquet. Could it be that Ponzi and Guo have a new move?
At this time, Old Lady Pang waved his hand at everyone in the audience, and everyone suddenly fell silent.
Old lady Pang can be said to be the first person in the Huaxia family in terms of age and prestige, people with status better than him have not lived long enough for him, and there may be people who have lived longer than him, but people have long stopped showing up.
As the old saying goes. Old and immortal are also called thieves, and this kind of thief who has experienced a hundred years of rise and fall and the changes of the times, an old thief. Even if you are a thief, you are the king of thieves!
The children of the family present are 100% regarded as the juniors of Old Lady Pang. So when he waved his hand, everyone was silent. The audience was silent. "Today is the old man's 100th birthday, hehe! So many people came to accompany me. Very good! Very good! My children and grandchildren want me to tell you a few words, okay! Then I'll just say two words! Man! It's good to be alive! As long as you live, there is hope, and there is a chance to turn over. If you don't live, you have nothing! The old man has no ability, he has lived for a hundred years, he can't write, he can't do martial arts, and his luck is average, just live a long time, long enough! In the past hundred years, the old man has seen all the waves and clouds, the vicissitudes of the world, how many stormy waves, how many winds and rains, and how many amazing heroes, but in the end, I survived! The Pang family survived! That's enough! So I wish all of you here to live and live a long time! “
Mrs. Pang's words are awe-inspiring, he did not hide half a sentence, he was straightforward, but it felt like a morning bell in the evening, which was sobering.
Because he said a truth that cannot be ignored, a fact that cannot be concealed, that is, after a hundred years, Pang Zi did not fall, but climbed all the way, in the past hundred years, all opponents, whether strong or not, all fell, fell in front of Pang Zi, only Pang Zi, just like the old lady Pang, old and strong, tenaciously survived.
Many people can't help but think, so this time, what will be the final result of the dispute between Ponzi and Lin? Will the Lin clan be the same as the opponents of the past hundred years, and finally fall in front of the Pang Clan and become a stepping stone for the first family in China?
Old lady Pang smiled, reached out and grabbed the right wrist of the eldest grandson Pang Yu, and waved it gently, the old lady continued: "Today there is a happy event in our Pang family, let's announce it through the old mouth!" My grandson Pang Yu will welcome the daughter of the Guo family, and the two juniors will tie the knot in front of all their relatives and friends today, and get married on a certain day! "You represent the younger generation of the Pang family, you are new, you are the newborn sun!" We, the older generation, have successors, the family prospers, and life and glory continue! Ha ha! These are superb! I am happy! “
It is of far-reaching significance for Mrs. Pang to announce this news personally! Is it really because the old lady loves Pang Yu's grandson too much? The answer is clearly not! Pang Zi invited the old lady to announce this blockbuster news, and in front of the representatives of the family in China, this is to make this matter an ironclad fact and an established fact!
And the timing of this news announcement is very delicate, just after the death of Guo Huailong, the head of the Guo family, when the Guo family has no leader, the meaning behind this is not just as simple as a family marriage!
Could it be that from today onwards, the two Pang-Guo families will merge into one? Soon, many Maisons thought of this great possibility!
This is unprecedented since the founding of the People's Republic of China, two first-class families have completely merged into one, how many times should their power swell! This is definitely not as simple as one plus one, but a chemical reaction that multiplies exponentially.
Everyone turned their eyes to Guo's birthday representative, who was obviously just a disguise, and he didn't even raise his head at the moment, just stared at the table, motionless.
At the main table, Guo Caiyu's face was as calm as water, and she let her hand squeeze it in Pang Yu's palm, no one knew what she was thinking at the moment. "Today is a good day, our Pang family is happy, and the whole world is coming to congratulate! Lao Yu wants to ask all the guests to be a witness, from now on, the surname Pang and the surname Guo are a family, come, cheers! “
With the order of Mrs. Pang, all the guests present raised their glasses again.
Pang Yuqing, the host next to him, lost no time in saying: "Such a beautiful day, a full moon, let us wish Mrs. Pang good health, and wish our grandson Pang Yu and Miss Guo to be together, I think no one present will object to this pair of lovers Yuyuan!" “
This joke made everyone smile, and they raised their glasses as they agreed.
Who would object at such a time! Even if the Lin family was present, they wouldn't do such a bad thing! "I'm against it!" Just when everyone was thinking so, an unexpectedly loud voice was heard. (To be continued.) )
