Chapter 31: The Li Family

Zhao Jiajie's hand stopped in mid-air, looking very embarrassed, but he showed his self-cultivation at this time, and quietly withdrew his hand.

In his impression, although these rich second generations in the city do not know each other, they have all heard of each other's fathers, and they have a little impression of each other, and some families are friends when they were in the previous generation, and they are very familiar with each other.

And the children of those newly promoted rich people do not have much confidence when introducing themselves, and often add their parents' names when they are introduced. When people who are really confident introduce themselves, most of them just say their names, and they will not use their fathers or other titles to show themselves, because they themselves are a symbol of strength.

And the young man surnamed Zhong in front of him is either ignorant and ignorant, or bullish and coaxing. But which one it is, Zhao Jiajie didn't see it for a while.

"Huh?"

Just when Zhong Shi finished saying hello and poured himself a glass of red wine, Zhao Jiajie suddenly found that the trademark on the cuffs of Zhong Shi's suit had not been cut, and with his eyesight, he couldn't recognize the brand of this suit.

Now he fully understood, it turned out that the arrogant young man in front of him was actually a trickster, and he didn't know how he got in, nine times out of ten it was a relative of the Liao family, who was brought by Liao Chengde to open his eyes.

At the same time, the group of sons who followed behind him also noticed the strangeness of Zhong Shi's cuffs, and their faces showed contempt. Zhong Shi swept over at a glance, and took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and his expression remained unchanged. But I secretly looked forward to it in my heart: the meat drama is coming.

Just when Zhao Jiajie was about to taunt and humiliate Liao Xiaohua, Xu Mai walked to the steps in front of the hall, took a microphone and tapped it twice, attracting the attention of everyone who was whispering in the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the dinner hosted by the Chinese Associated Press. In the past year, Hong Kong's investment in the mainland has exceeded 10 billion yuan, and I would like to thank you for your support for the construction of the mainland of the motherland. ”

He spoke in an official voice, but in his capacity. I have to say these things again. After all, this is a public and semi-official gathering, so these clichΓ©s are inevitable.

As soon as the words fell, there was a round of warm applause in the hall. Everyone applauded politely. However, most of the younger generation have disapproving expressions on their faces. The older generation, on the other hand, listens attentively and has a thoughtful expression on their faces. Naturally, it is capturing the overtones of this set of official statements.

"I would like to make a promise to you that there will be no change in the government's policy towards Hong Kong's business community, and that you are welcome to continue to invest in the mainland. In addition, I would like to thank you for your support to the charity in the Mainland, especially during the floods in East China, where your generosity helped many people rebuild their homes......

Xu Mai on the stage talked endlessly, and most of the people in the audience who listened carefully showed a knowing smile after hearing the assurances he made, and their expressions relaxed after taking the reassuring pill. They know that the promises made in their attitude towards Hong Kong businessmen are definitely not something that a single vice-ministerial-level official can make, and it must have been instructed by the Yenching government to do so.

When the dull and lengthy speech finally ended, the hall erupted in a round of applause, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

However, most of their speeches lasted three or five minutes, not as long as Xu Mai, which is of course related to identity, but more because of the limited time, even if the person with a lot of money can only say a few words hastily.

When it came to the speech, it was the turn of Mr. Li Jiacheng of Changhe Industrial, who has been in the limelight in recent years, to give a speech, wearing a pair of wide-rimmed glasses, smiling, and bringing a young man who looked like him in his thirties to the front stage.

Changhe Industrial has benefited from the development of the real estate market in recent years, and now its market value has reached tens of billions, and Li Jiacheng, who holds nearly half of the shares of Changhe Industrial, has also risen as a result, and his net worth has risen to the 10 billion mark, becoming the richest man of the new generation in Hong Kong.

"Thanks to President Xu, we will continue to support the economic construction of the mainland. Today, Lao Yu introduced the dog to his peers, Li Jiangli, who has just returned from Canada, and Changhe Industry will gradually hand it over to him to take care of in the future......"

After he finished his introduction, the young man standing behind him smiled shyly, bowed slightly to everyone present, and then retreated behind Li Jiacheng.

In recent years, Li Jiacheng has become older, and the training of successors has also begun to be put on the agenda, before this he has introduced many old friends in the circle to Li Jiangli, and now he takes this opportunity to let Li Jiangli make a public appearance, which can be regarded as fully expanding his contacts.

"Zhong Shi, this guy is really a blessing!" Liao Xiaohua, who was standing beside Zhong Shi, sighed with envy.

"Really?" Zhong Shi replied disapprovingly. You must know that this Mr. Li Jiangli encountered the biggest crisis in his life a few years later, and was openly kidnapped by bandits, making Li Jiacheng take out one billion Hong Kong dollars in cash to ransom people, Liao Xiaohua may not have the current idea.

In addition to these, there is a younger brother who is more capable than him, especially after creating another myth of wealth, which casts a shadow over his succession.

"What, do you have an opinion about Mr. Li Jiangli?"

Zhao Jiajie, who was listening from the sidelines, finally seized the opportunity and hit Zhongshi without hesitation. Even in their circle, the super-rich second generation like Li Jiangli is also the object of their envy.

"Uh...... It's not a big deal, it's just that he has a good father. ”

Zhong Shi nodded disapprehantly, for those who were born with the golden key, except for those who can carry forward the ancestral industry again, it is good that others can keep it more than enough. The person who "fights for his father" is just a good fate, but in fact, it is nothing great, at least in front of him, a reborn person.

Hearing this, Zhao Jiajie realized. He was facing an ignorant and arrogant guy, and he suddenly became energetic: "Since Mr. Zhong said so, could it be that you are richer than him?" ”

"Maybe it's okay, it's estimated that I'm about the same as his dad now, much more than he must be." Zhong Shi nodded honestly and replied earnestly.

Zhao Jiajie was completely dumbfounded, he thought that the young man in front of him was an uninformed character, but now it seems that he is still a bragging and undrafted, and even a little neurotic. If I continue to talk to such a person, I am afraid that I will become a daxiao in the circle of the son.

What he didn't know was. Everything Zhong Shi said was the truth. And more importantly, Zhongshi's funds can be withdrawn at any time, which is much more real than the wealth on the books.

Take Li Jiacheng, for example, most of his wealth is in shares of Changhe Industrial. These fortunes fluctuate at any time. And it's hard to cash out. Because he is the single largest shareholder. Once cashed out, the market will definitely have a lot of suspicion about it, which will cause a wave of selling. And Changhe Industrial's share price will also fall, followed by a sharp decline in his net worth.

Zhao Jiajie decided to ignore Zhong Shi and turned to Liao Xiaohua, who had been "staying out of the matter": "Liao Gongzi, I heard that you lost 500 million yuan in a big gamble in Macau, is it true?" ”

This incident is an indelible stain on Liao Xiaohua, and it is also a laughing stock in Hong Kong's rich second-generation world, these sons and brothers often gamble on weekdays, but they are not as out of line as Liao Xiaohua. When they met Liao Xiaohua, they naturally would not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dog.

It's just that they don't know that the Liao family has long since come out of this deep pool, and their wealth is much more than before. It's just that Liao Chengde's business now needs to be low-key, and it is not a listed company, and its finances do not need to be announced to the outside world, so these sons and daughters don't know either.

Just imagine, if the Liao family became an ordinary family, how could they be invited to this gathering of high society?

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Liao Xiaohua knew that he was at a loss, and he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't say why. This kind of performance naturally caused a burst of low ridicule from many sons and buddies behind Zhao Jiajie.

Zhong Shi frowned slightly, looked around for a while, and found that another group of young people not far away happened to be looking at this side for a long time, pointing and pointing from time to time, and he suddenly understood in his heart that these two groups of people were competing in secret, and the target of the topic was him and Liao Xiaohua.

Zhong Shi guessed correctly, and another group of young people also discovered the abnormality between him and Liao Xiaohua, but they were a little scheming, instigating Zhao Jiajie's group to come over and provoke, and then watch the jokes of these two groups of people.

It's just that this Zhao Jiajie, who looks polite and polite, doesn't want to be a person with no heart, why can't he see through this simple provocation? What Zhong Shi didn't know was that once a woman was involved in everything, no matter how good a man was, there would be a time when his demeanor was lost.

"Yes! Is it that now that you can't even eat enough, you still come here to eat and drink? ”

"I guess I haven't eaten enough, there are still a lot of lobsters there, do you want to take some and continue to eat?" I'm afraid it's been a long time since you've eaten something so delicious! ”

"That's it! It is! Don't forget to pack more when you go back, so that your family can also try it, and I don't know when the next time you can eat these! ”

……

The sound of ridicule sounded one after another, Zhong Shi shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect that these well-dressed young people would be ruthless in their losses, and what they said viciously, so that people couldn't imagine that this was a group of rich second generations with prominent family backgrounds, but they were more like shrews scolding on the street.

Liao Xiaohua's face was flushed, his fists were clenched, and he was on the verge of exploding. (To be continued......)
