So whenever there is an occasion for foreign business exchanges, we try to call Xiao Ai together, such as looking at the goods and inspecting the goods, settlement, and various business negotiations, anyway, as long as there are external social activities, we try to pull him up, and also introduce him everywhere, uh, this Mr. Ai is a shareholder of our Australian Nanyang Development Company, this is not a lie, right? We're all shareholders, aren't we? Or a shareholder of Diao Mining, uh, that's kind of that, right?

And he is also a lifelong member of the Australian Federal Parliament! That's no problem, we're all members, are you afraid of the national parliamentarians?

"The Federal Assembly? What's going on? ”

Hou Xianglin asked keenly.

"Oh, this is something that the people of the Fire Pond Club recently proposed, saying that the name of our plenary meeting is not regular, and now that the name of the Australian Federation has become famous, then changing the name of the plenary assembly to the federal parliament also responds to the meaning of the title.

It's just that Captain Sun Lao Gu and Lao Ba and a group of old guys don't care about this kind of thing at all, and Sun Lao is often absent, so he just stays there, and for this name, now some people just say it casually. ”

Dai Xiaoshan responded and continued:

"Then we also introduced that Xiao Ai is the executive director of our Australian Commonwealth Nanyang Development Corporation."

"What about this company?"

Hou Xianglin was confused for a while.

"Blind a few handfuls! You have to talk about a company or something that people can understand, right? These are all titles that a gentleman should have, right? What's more, this executive director, there is no problem with the statement, although the execution is all the sailor work on the ship, that is also the execution, right? We're not lying, are we? ”

"Okay, and then pinch?"

"Then for a while, Xiao Ai was in and out of the Governor's Palace and the City Council of Macau for several days, and he really looked like a gentleman in dress, of course, the brothers were also very cooperative, as long as they were in front of outsiders, they also deliberately pulled 'Ai Dong' aside from time to time, and then muttered a few words, pretending to be discussing things.

Of course, people Ai Rushi is not ignorant of anything, after all, people have never eaten pork and have seen pigs run, such as when inspecting the goods sent by the other party, we sometimes have to pretend to ask Xiao Ai's opinion, and Xiao Ai is also very good at doing it, in front of outsiders, Ya nodded for a while and shook his head, and from time to time he was arrogant, don't you say, people Xiao Ai can sometimes really get to the point, it seems that this young man is usually paying attention to learning, for this, we are very happy, these young people are indeed growing.

However, sometimes this product is also very deliberate on some occasions, so that we almost can't hold back laughter several times, but once finally Li Sanduo couldn't hold it back, and sprayed tea on the spot in a negotiation with the city council, and we hurriedly sent Sanduo away, afraid that he would do something bad.

Anyway, after a few days, Qiao Fanna told Xiao Ai that Qiao Dagongzi wanted to meet me and Xiao Ai, of course, the excuse was to thank us for the gift we gave to other people's daughters, and wanted to invite us to a meal, obviously this is just an excuse, in fact, it is a blind date in person, and the main purpose is to meet Xiao Ai. ”

"It seems to have an effect, the question is how do you know that it is mainly Xiang Xiaoai?"

Hou Xianglin asked with a question mark on his face.

Dai Xiaoshan immediately said unashamedly, because I don't need to go on a blind date at all, I am on the street every day, and the citizens of Macao have met me countless times for his old man, and I am more or less a celebrity in Macau......

"And then? How's it going? Tell you, in this era, in that family, the rules for inviting guests to dinner are very big, don't you know? ”

Hou Xianglin was noncommittal to Dai Xiaoshan's statement, and quickly interrupted his boasting.

"Of course, we also know the importance of this matter, so we asked Dr. Zhu to give us both an etiquette class for one night, from the gifts we brought to the time of entering the banquet, from the way we dressed to the way we walked, and of course, the rhetoric, all kinds of taboos, all kinds of tricks, belch, in short, the difficulties in this are not something that ordinary people can bear......

"And then?"

"Then, we'll be alive and have successfully finished this dinner and come back!"

"When are you going to get married?"

Hou Xianglin finally asked another question.

"At least two to two and a half years of waiting, because Old Lady Qiao passed away, and the whole house is guarding the three-year filial piety period!"

"Oh? That's a lot of rules......"

"It's not a thing, I'll tell you, for the marriage of the two sisters, I heard that the old lady of the Qiao family had a rare time taking the second son to Harry's bar in person, and discussed with the eldest son of Qiao for a long time, because Xiao Ai and I both expressed that we would follow the opinions of the eldest prince and Ms. Harry, and the wedding would be held in the church in the future, but the ancestor of the Qiao family disagreed, saying that it must be in accordance with the rules of the old Qiao family.

Dai Xiaoshan took a breath when he said this.

"This old lady, let's suddenly get serious? Didn't you say that you were separated? Your father-in-law can't inherit the family business of his Qiao family, and the old lady actually interfered in this matter, isn't it a bit too much? ”

Hou Xianglin responded.

"Here's the problem, this happened at the end of March, wasn't it an official telegram from home appointing me and Xiao Ai as ambassadors to Macau, one as a deputy, the other as a deputy delegate, in short, an official.

That morning, Xiao Ai and I went to the Governor's Palace to hand over the letter of appointment to Bugano, in fact, the so-called 'letter of state' that Brother Zhu put together was a piece of flower-skin Christmas gift wrapping paper, on which the appointment matters were written with a pen, and Nima's seal was still the same piece of soap that signed the trade agreement in Sulu, and I don't know what method Brother Zhu used, but it hasn't been heated yet...... In short, after handing in the national credentials in the morning, the old lady of the Qiao family went to the door of the eldest son's house in the afternoon and asked to include the two daughters plus me and Xiao Ai in the family tree.

Therefore, since it is another family, the marriage matter will naturally be decided by her, the old man with the highest status......"

"Well, anyway, that's a good thing...... So ask a little gossip question, how far have you gotten now? ”

Hou Xianglin was a little drunk at this time, and asked with a wine hiccup.

"Xiao Ai's side seems to have already passed the stage of holding small hands, I have just held small hands here, this is because of the convenience of work, Lilia is the Portuguese teacher of the school, and she has to attend classes every day......"

Dai Xiaoshan replied honestly.

"Obviously, this Qiao family has re-incorporated the eldest prince's family into the family because of our relationship, just look at the business contact between the Qiao family and us now, the old lady also takes into account that the relationship between the eldest prince and us is related to the major interests of the family, which is also a normal move, no matter what, I am still pleased with this win-win situation......

Hou Xianglin nodded and said a word of understanding when he heard this, but at this time, he felt it on behalf of Xiaoshan, and said that now the Zhong family and the Qiao family are getting closer because of the matter of becoming imperial merchants, in fact, those four Chinese businessmen have dealings with me, and there were also trustees who asked me about the eight characters, and I only reacted later, this is the meaning of climbing relatives, but I met Lilia first.

Of course, the reason why I know some of the business heads and tails of these four companies is that they have no intention of hiding them from us at all, and it can be seen from here that we Chinese businessmen have always paid attention to trust in doing business.

Of course, there is another important reason, I later learned that the old lady of the Qiao family is actually the sister of the head of the Zhong family, and she turned out to be the son-in-law of the Zhong family who married into the Qiao family......

Until now, I finally learned that the four families of Liang, Qiao, Zhong and Ao are all in contact with their in-laws, and in the territory of Macau, the four major families are advancing and retreating together, and they also support each other in the business field, which is really a combination of glory and loss......
