Chapter 232, the atmosphere of the year
A few days at the beginning of the year are days off, which is exactly the same whether it is in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, whether you are a white-collar worker in a company or a family in the literary world, or a cartoonist, everyone should rest at this time.
Even the best-selling comic magazine "Painting King" was suspended for two weeks with the consent of Lei Weidong, which can also allow the editors-in-chief of the company who have worked hard for a year to take a good rest, relax their nerves, and have time to do their own things.
In his previous life, Lei Weidong was like this, since the beginning of the new year, he has been visiting relatives every day, paying New Year's greetings, and basically he can't be idle until the fifth day of the new year.
But now it's different, because there are no relatives to leave, Lei Weidong went to Zhong Chuhong's house to pay New Year's greetings in the name of his son-in-law, and the rest of the time is either to call for New Year's greetings, or to write at home, write scripts, and then chat and fart with a few little girls.
I have to say that Hong Kong people are good at gambling, which can be seen from the gambling films that swept Hong Kong in later generations, at least the atmosphere of playing mahjong in Hong Kong is much more powerful than that in the mainland.
What Lei Weidong didn't expect was that several girls in his own family, driven by Wen Bixuan, a little girl, actually learned to play mahjong.
"In the red."
"Shichijo!"
"I'll eat!"
"Wait. I'm! ”
"What the hell. Why are you so quick to get out of the way! ”
"Yes. I haven't even heard it yet. ”
"Yours, your luck is too good."
“……”
Wen Bixuan laughed and spread out his hand, and the rest of the women handed over the chips in their hands with a bitter face, and then rubbed the mahjong depressedly and prepared to start the next game.
Although Wen Bixuan, a little girl, went home for the New Year, she only stayed at home for a few days, and she ran back only when she was in the third year of junior high school. In Wen Bixuan's words, there are too many people at home, it's too noisy, and it's still comfortable here.
Although Wen Bixuan likes money, he still takes good care of his family, and the hundreds of thousands of bonuses at the end of the year, Wen Bixuan except for setting aside a part of it to buy clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics for himself, and the rest of the money is used to build a house for his family and add furniture.
Although the new house has not been fully built because of the tight time, the family has already moved in this Chinese New Year, because compared with the old house, only the overall frame has been built and the interior has not been decorated, and the new house with water and electricity is much better.
In Wen Bixuan's words, the next new house is to live in and decorate at the same time.
But because of the construction of a new house, there are a lot of talents during the Chinese New Year, all of them are relatives and friends around, Wen Bixuan, who has begun to enter the upper class of Hong Kong's social life, of course, can't stand the noise at home, so he ran out early.
The family also knew that Wen Bixuan had run to Lei Weidong, not only did he not stop him, but he encouraged him a little, and everyone knew very well about the attention.
Because everyone is very free these days, some boring Wen Bixuan began to hand over a few women to play mahjong, come and go, a few women learned, novices are generally very addicted to cards, only from learning to play cards, a few women at home all day long.
Except for Xu Xiaoling, because her legs and feet are inconvenient and not suitable to play cards! The rest of Zhong Chuhong and Xu Xiaoying are addicted to cards. Three missing one plus Lei Weidong was really not interested in playing cards, so the girls pulled Liu Ying over to make up the number.
Because they are all their sisters, the girls don't gamble money, just play casually.
Among the four, Zhong Chuhong, Xu Xiaoying and Liu Ying are all novices who don't know how to play cards, but Wen Bixuan was nurtured by her gambler father since she was a child, and she played a good hand at a young age.
If it is gambling money, Wen Bixuan will always want to win more money because he always wants to make big names, and he will lose even if he is too lazy to draw himself. But now it's just playing, Wen Bixuan, who has the best card skills, is not something that the other three girls can block, and it is impossible to kill all sides at the poker table.
As for Lei Weidong, he was aggrieved and prepared fruits and drinks for several girls with Xu Xiaoling. Several women also instructed Lei Weidong while playing cards, especially Zhong Chuhong seemed to want to sprinkle the depression of losing cards on Lei Weidong.
"Adong! Are there oranges? I want to eat oranges. ”
"Brother, I want to eat apples."
"I want a drink, Adong brings a drink."
"It's coming!" Lei Weidong hurriedly put the prepared fruits and drinks in the tray! Of course, I didn't forget to hand it to Xu Xiaoling in advance.
"Taste, it's a cocktail I just made! After Lei Weidong served the fruit plate again, he flattered each of the girls with a drink! ”
"It's beautiful! Wen Bixuan picked up the cocktail and praised as he looked at the colorful colors.
"Hmmm! It's good to ask! Zhong Zhong Chuhong took a sip and nodded in praise.
"What the hell are you betting! The fire is so big! ”
"I won't tell you, brother, this is a secret between us women!" Wen Bixuan smiled and refused.
"Hmmm! Can't tell you! The rest of the women nodded as well.
Seeing the serious looks of the girls, Lei Weidong was confused, and he couldn't pull his face when he wanted to ask, so he had to retreat and continue to sort out the fruits.
After staying for a while, Lei Weidong looked up to see that the time was about the same, and then got up and said to the girls: "You continue to play, go out and have something to do." ”
During the Chinese New Year, Lei Weidong was not at home to accompany a few girls and needed to go out to run errands, of course, because a very important person came to ask Lei Weidong to do something.
Although Lei Weidong's status is very high now, in the eyes of some real bigwigs, Lei Weidong is still not good. At least because of his age, Lei Weidong is still a junior in the eyes of those people.
About an hour after leaving the villa, at 11 p.m. Hong Kong time, Lei Weidong, accompanied by several bodyguards, sat in an ordinary Mercedes-Benz car into the underground parking lot of a building, and then went straight to a high-end club on the 16th floor.
This is a private club, and you can open a card to spend in this private club. They are all Hong Kong's richest people, and their net worth is at least 30 million Hong Kong dollars or more to be eligible. The 30 million Hong Kong dollars can be compared to underestimating, which is equivalent to at least 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in the 21st century.
In fact, the services he can provide are similar to those of other private clubs, and even some services for lonely people are not available, but if the name of the owner of this high-end club is Huo Daheng, then it is reasonable that he is so sought after.
As we all know, although under the blow of the British government in Hong Kong, Huo Daheng has a great decline in Hong Kong in terms of net worth and influence, and even the most profitable industry in Hong Kong, real estate, cannot enter, and can only watch those juniors make money in it.
But don't forget that Huo Daheng also has the title of River Tsar. It can be said that 90% of Hong Kong's river sand is under the control of Fok Taitycoon. It can be said that if you offend Huo Daheng, the consequence is that the four most famous Chinese land kings, Li Shoufu, together they can't stand it.
No matter how good you are a real estate developer, if you can't even buy the basic building materials of river sand, what kind of real estate do you do, you can only drink the northwest wind, it can be said that as long as this title is not removed, Huo Daheng's status in Hong Kong will not change at all.
The gossip is far away. Anyway, although Huo Daheng is very low-key now, his status as one of the top ten wealthy families in Hong Kong is unshakable.
Of course, the bodyguards of the private club were not allowed to enter, and the waiter who looked like a flower took Lei Weidong to the door of the box, and after Lei Weidong entered, he closed the door again.
Compared with the lives of Hong Kong celebrities, the lives of the rich are more reluctant to be exposed, including talking about business or something, so there are private rooms everywhere, and there are people talking about business everywhere.
Seeing Lei Weidong come in, President Liang, who had been waiting inside for a long time, hurriedly got up to greet him.
"I'm sorry, President Liang, I'll just keep you waiting." Lei Weidong didn't dare to slack off in the greeting of President Liang, and hurriedly said hello! I have great respect for this old revolutionary Lei Weidong.
"It's okay, Lei Shao." President Liang picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot black tea, and said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated you in person, you have earned hundreds of millions of dollars on this trip to the United States!" Compared to you, I really lived for nothing at such an age."
"Where, Old Liang, you are an old-timer, everyone's work is different, and compared with your old man's contribution, I earn a small amount of money." Lei Weidong said a little embarrassed.
Lei Weidong was not surprised that President Liang knew that he was making hundreds of millions of dollars in the United States this time, after all, his personal power in front of the country was too small. It's too simple for the state to know what to do! ”
"Liang Lao came to me this time to talk about the bidding!" Lei Weidong went straight to the door and made his words clear.
"Yes, Lei Shao! We should really thank you for winning so many bids for the last design bid, without your support, we may not even be able to participate in the project! President Liang first thanked him for the last design tender.
"Don't say that about Liang Lao, this is all because the comrades are very capable!" Lei Weidong hurriedly excused himself.
"Compared with foreign designers, the comrades in the mainland are not worse than them in terms of design skills and ability, except that their thinking is somewhat backward, otherwise the internationally renowned designer Mike will not praise his mainland counterparts, and invite them to participate in the design of five-star hotels!"
"I just don't know when the design drawings will come out, you must know that the construction standard is waiting for these drawings!"
"Don't worry about that!" President Liang patted his chest and reassured.
"Now the comrades in the mainland are working overtime to draw the design drawings! The major design institutes have drawn elite soldiers to support the future, and even the Spring Festival is not a holiday, I can guarantee here that the drawings will be rushed out before the Lantern Festival, and it will definitely not be too late for the construction of the target! ”
"Don't be in such a hurry!" Lei Weidong waved his hand and said: "The drawings can come out within a month, and the time is still very large, no later than the construction bidding!" Let's talk about the project now! ”
"Not bad!" President Liang nodded, the design standard has passed, and the construction standard below is the top priority of his work.
