Among the four major foreign banks, only the weakest Wheelock made a lot of profits in this incident and ate many customers who had outflowed from Chinese-funded silver accounts. It's true that the smaller the goal, the easier it is to do, and the smaller the ambition, the more realistic. The other three foreign banks all lost their money, and many political resources were used once without success, and they could not be used the second time.

A month later.

Liyuan East Street, Chu Mansion.

There is a buffet table in the garden, decorated in a very festive manner, with waiters coming and going, carrying trays, and many Chinese bigwigs from high society gathered, all dressed in suits, dressed formally, and talking to each other with wine glasses.

The red word for shou is everywhere, and one of the largest hangs behind the ceremonial stand.

Chu Weinan pinned a flower to his chest, stood in front of the microphone, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Welcome to all relatives, friends, and colleagues in the business community to attend my birthday banquet. ”

"I am very happy to be here with you today, and I sincerely thank you."

Wang Laoji, Fang Suquan, Chen Lanfang and others all stopped talking and looked at the podium with a smile on their faces. Luo Wenjin, Luo Wenhui, Jian Leqiang, Jian Lewei, Zhou Junnian, Xian Defen, Wu Zhongjing, Zhou Xinian and other four family members were also present with solemn expressions.

There were legislators, justices of the peace, business tycoons, and rising stars, the new generation of big bosses.

Such as Zheng Yutong, Huo Guantai, Xu Shifen and others.

Although the strength of these new generation of big bosses is not as strong as that of the older generation of big businessmen, the potential has been realized, and the company is like a tiger, and it is foreseeable that the future business status will be achieved.

Jian Leqiang, Zhou Xinian and others didn't dare to underestimate them, but they closely surrounded He Dingxian, their eyes were admiring, and they looked at the old man on the stage with respect.

Today is Boss Chu's fiftieth birthday, and Boss Chu, who had no interest in celebrating birthdays in the past, specially held a fiftieth birthday party. First, the 50th birthday is very significant, and there is indeed a custom of treating guests traditionally, and secondly, some things need to be gathered together.

Boss Chu will agree to call Qi business celebrities, the top figures of the Chinese on Hong Kong Island, which is obviously not a trivial matter

"Whoa."

Chu Weinan spoke simply, quickly bowed off the stage, picked up the wine glass and saluted everyone.

The guests also gave the warmest applause.

The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant.

He Dingxian was wearing a suit, his oil hair was neatly combed, his posture was straight, and he was very eye-catching, but he was a real guest at the venue, completely standing with Zheng Yutong, Huo Guantai and others and chatting. When Chu Weinan took his family to toast, he also led his youngest son to introduce it to the guests. Chu Yunnan is already married, with her hair coiled and wearing a blue dress, she follows her father to take care of her, but she will not be specially introduced to the guests.

This is not a family relationship, but a formal occasion where the Chu family and the He family must be clearly distinguished, but whenever there is a little bit of noisy taste, it will attract infinite reverie from outsiders. Is it that Chu Weinan is not good, and is the Chu family going to be swallowed by the He family.

He Dingxian has to pay more attention because of his great power, so as not to bear the name of greedy for his father-in-law's family property. What's more, the in-law relationship between them does not need to be specially explained, Chu Weinan's "birth" is actually a kind of protection.

At this time, Chu Weinan came to the young man with his children, raised his glass and smiled: "Ah Xian, introduce me more to your friends." ”

"Lao Dou, this is Mr. Huo Guantai, the big boss of Huo Xiantang Real Estate." He Dingxian smiled and made some introductions, Huo Guantai hurriedly bowed lightly and nodded: "Mr. Chu, be healthy, everything is successful." ”

"Thank you." Chu Weinan raised his wine glass, took a sip, and praised: "I often hear Ah Xian mention you, it is said that you used to do a very good job in the connection business at sea, there are many merchant ships, and you are the first person to abandon the boat and land after the war. ”

"In the past, I also wanted to develop the shipping industry, but unfortunately I was not familiar with the shipping business, and now I still lease more freighters from outsiders."

Huo Guantai said modestly: "Mr. Chu focuses on trade, has an extraordinary vision, and his family history is still worth learning from colleagues in the business world. ”

"This is my son Younan, Younan, called Uncle Tai."

Chu Younan was already a teenager, his face was childish, and he shouted crisply: "Uncle Tai." ”

"Haha."

Huo Guantai smiled heartily and said happily: "Young Master Chu is smart and clever, and he is really very cute. ”

"Brother-in-law."

Younan opened his eyes wide, held his head high and shouted again.

He Dingxian looked at his cheap brother-in-law, maybe the other party was still young when he contacted Chen Younan, and he was a blank piece of paper, so there was no reason to hate it. After eight years of getting along, and watching a little kid grow up, I still feel very kind in my heart.

Although Chu Younan's studies are average, there are a lot of stupidity, broken mouths, and stubbornness that children should have, but he has a good temperament, is polite, knows how to respect people, and will be a talent when he grows up. After all, as long as he is not a loser, the second ancestor, the Chu He family has many opportunities for him to exercise and sharpen.

Chu Weinan greeted the other young bosses again, led the child to recognize the person, and then left here with great memorability and walked to the next group of guests. It's not that he wants to get any benefits among young people, but young people are high-spirited, and the feeling of being vigorous and upward is very likable.

Most young people feel that they are ordinary, ordinary, and do not think that young people are anything special. As everyone knows, young people's ideas are unlimited, the future is unlimited, and the kind of vitality that dares to think and dare to break through anything is something that every old man's family can't find back.

"Mr. Chu is really in good health, and some people believe that he is in his thirties, not like a fifty-year-old at all." Zheng Yutong held the wine glass, amazed. He Dingxian glanced at him and said speechlessly: "I'm not afraid of being struck by lightning when I tell a lie, my old father-in-law's body is really okay, but the wrinkles on his face seem to be in his thirties?" ”

Zheng Yutong smiled and said, "You have to respect the elderly." ”

He Dingxian smiled: "He often goes to the farmland in the New Territories to plant seedlings, and sometimes goes back to the factory in the mainland to raise pigs, which is much more capable than you as a fat guy, and you can really find him if you want to lose weight." ”

Zheng Yutong felt insulted, straightened his belly, and snorted coldly: "Say it again? ”

"Alright."

Huo Guantai played a round and said, "Be careful that Ah Xian catches you in." ”

At this time, Chu Weinan had already walked into the villa hall with the talkers of the four major families and sat down to drink tea, and the eyes of many business bosses moved with the four major families. Although, the fact that they were able to be invited to Boss Chu's dinner proved that their status in the business world was quite high, and they did not need to rely on the eyes of the four major families. But everyone looked around and found that someone with a name and surname from the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce had arrived, and everyone was not stupid, and they more or less guessed that President Chu would definitely have something to talk about.

If the four major families decide on something, and there is the nod of the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce, it can be implemented without resistance in the business world. The bosses present also wanted to know the news in advance so that they could best respond.

"Mr. Ho."

"The master told you to go in and have a cup of tea." Hai Bo, the butler of Chu Mansion, came to the crowd, bent down and bowed his head, and asked in a respectful tone. He Dingxian nodded to him, turned to Huo Guantai and the others and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm going in for tea." ”

"You stand and drink first, and there is a chance to call you in."

Huo Guantai, Zheng Yutong, Bao Yugang, and Xu Shifen all watched him leave.

Living room.

Under a chandelier.

The members of the four major families were standing or standing, some were smoking cigars, some were holding teacups, Luo Wenjin and Xian Defen had relaxed expressions, and Jian Leqiang and Zhou Xinian had heavy expressions.

"Ah Xian, you're here."

Chu Weinan sat on the sofa in the main seat, and when he saw his son-in-law walking into the living room, he hurriedly beckoned: "Several elders thanks to you for supporting Yuedong Trust Bank in the financial war and avoiding many of their losses, I want to make a special trip to thank you." ”

He Dingxian sat down beside Chu Weinan, feeling that the atmosphere at the scene was very serious, and there must have been some argument just now.

"Mr. He, thank you."

Zhou Xinian wore glasses, bowed gently, and had an excellent attitude.

"Isn't it?"

He Dingxian took the teacup handed by his father-in-law and exaggerated: "How many uncles are still so polite to me?" In front of the ghosts, the yellow-skinned Chinese are all one, and those who can do it will definitely do it, and the Guangdong Provincial Trust is in the hands of your own people, I guarantee that you will not lose. ”

In fact, the four major families have acquired a part of the equity of the Guangdong Provincial Trust, on the one hand, to provide operating funds for the Guangdong Provincial Trust, re-operation, and hold the family assets, and on the other hand, they want to deeply control the trust, check the accounts, and avoid bank capital problems.

"Thank you."

Luo Wenjin stood up and said: "The four major families also rely on your help this time, and the ghost guy eats people, but it doesn't depend on your identity." ”

Although Luo Wenjin and others are parliamentarians, gentlemen, and knights, as long as the funds are transferred in the market, there is always a risk of being eaten by ghosts.

"In addition, the war you helped Huazi fight is very beautiful, and several uncles have something to talk about now, and I want you to help make a decision." Chu Weinan said on the side: "Sir Da Luo and Councillor Xiao Luo, Sir Xian all hope to fight back. ”

"Sir Xiao Zhou, Councillor Lok, and Mr. Ng hope to pass legislation to standardize banking supervision and ensure the safety of Chinese-funded finance."

"Which one do you think is better?"

He Dingxian smiled: "It's all pretty good." ”

Zhou Xinian's expression was unexpected, but he didn't expect that his personality would be like mud. He Dingxian continued: "Can't we do both, both to fight ghosts and to legislate to protect the financial industry?" ”

Luo Wenhui raised his eyebrows: "Ah Xian, I'm afraid that the efforts of both sides will disperse political resources, and if the effect is not good."

"Arrange the steps, first subdue the ghosts, let the ghosts also lose a lot in the financial industry, will it be smoother to legislate to protect the financial industry?" He Dingxian said: "In a different way of thinking, we are not legislating to protect ourselves, but legislating to protect them. ”
