The Peak Restaurant in Hong Kong should be the most luxurious hotel in the Energy Group, and it is also one of the best in the world. Except for the seven-star hotel in the Middle East that is known to the whole world, this one seems to be the most powerful, so Li Cong, who pays attention to pomp and circumstance, is here.
A cocktail party was held here. Since this was the first cocktail party held by Li Cong after arriving in Hong Kong and Macao, some leading figures from Hong Kong and Macao families were expected to attend tonight, which made the Flying Tigers of the Hong Kong Police Department very nervous.
Apart from the arrival of central leaders, even the 100-day celebration of Hong Kong's richest man, Sun Tzu, was not of such a large scale.
As for the hostess, she can only be Liu Yan. One of the two from Jinan is pregnant, and the other has to work in the company. As the third wife, Liu Yan is natural. But the rich ladies in Hong Kong really let Liu Yan know.
What does it mean to be a wealthy lady? The noble ladies in the mainland are at least a little restrained, but the ones here are all arrogant and start to show off some of their accessories at every turn. This makes Liu Yan, who has never been very good at dressing up, a little embarrassed.
Taiwan, these noble ladies began to wonder if Liu Yan was not well received at home, otherwise the accessories on her body would really not look like the wife of a rich man.
Li Cong took his daughter to meet the rich people in Hong Kong, but these rich people always wanted to marry the little girl in front of him, which made him unable to cope. According to Li Cong's idea, his daughter
It's no wonder that someone who is like a fairy can marry an ordinary person in your family. In my eyes, no one is worthy of my own daughter.
Originally, Li Cong wanted to be a good host and entertain him well, but in the end, he was enough. Who the hell are these people? It was just such a banquet, but they started talking nonsense to him. He was really
It's not suitable for entertaining, and it's also because Li never understood the situation. Most of the people who come out to entertain are some of the boss's outhouses. Only the banquets held at home will bring their wives with them. Naturally, these concubines are all unscrupulous people.
A woman who knows etiquette is only that shallow.
Just when Li Cong was about to take a break, a family came over that Li Cong had to brace up for. This was the Li family, the former richest family in Hong Kong. Of course, the current richest family is also the Li family, but it was replaced by the Li family.
Li Cong's family, from the time Li Cong started enclosing land in Hong Kong, it showed that Li Cong was going to stay in Hong Kong, so when people talk about the richest man in Hong Kong, they understand that they are no longer the Li family before.
"Mr. Li is really giving you face. The whole family is here. It's really a face." Li Cong led his daughter over with one hand and greeted him. Unlike others, the ones who came were the top figures of the Li family, Li Ka-shing, Li Ka-shing's eldest son Li Chenghou,
Grandson Li Yujie, as for the second son who often appeared in entertainment gossip tabloids, and the second son's celebrity wife did not appear, which made Li Cong's wish to meet the celebrity unfulfilled.
"Haha, let's not forget that Mr. Li is older than Mr. Li. Five hundred years ago, we were a family, so why not just form a clan? I am a generation older than you, so I wouldn't call you a good nephew.
Let's live." Li Chaoren is not only very good at doing business, he is also good at building relationships. Li Cong can reject those people in front of him, but he thinks that he will have to hang out in Hong Kong for a while in the future. This request is okay. According to his own
According to the standard, this person in front of me can have a relationship with me, and I can take advantage of him because of his age. After all, the eldest son of Li, who is nearly fifty, has to call himself a brother.
"Of course it's good. It's an honor for me to be related to the first family of Hong Kong. Come and invite me." This is how the relationship slowly emerged. Hundreds of years later, it will be because of these words.
Become a family friend, but the question is whether such a family friend can be relied upon.
Take the four major families as an example. In the early years when the Kuomintang occupied the mainland, there were also intrigues. But at that time, after all, everyone was eating on the same boat, and everyone suffered losses and prosperity. But what is it like now?
Although there are still relatives, the families are now on the same page. This is family friendship, but it is different with the Skull and Bones Society. Several big families have been friends for more than a hundred years, but they still get along very well.
Okay, this is related to the laws of an organization. Anyone who damages the family friendship within the organization will be executed immediately. During this period, the heirs of several major families also had some quarrels, but they were all executed. No matter what your abilities are,
, as long as there is discord with the organization, there will be absolutely no mercy within the organization.
Thinking of this, Li Cong thought of the difference between Easterners and Westerners. There was nothing he could do about it, and Li Cong couldn't change all this. He only hoped that the Skull and Bones Society in the future would not regard him as an Easterner, or
This will allow you to smoothly integrate into the Skull and Bones Society until you possess him.
"The first family in Hong Kong is not me now, but you, nephew. You must know that you are the most popular in Hong Kong now. Some old guys mentioned you to me and they all praised you. This is you.
My second daughter? She looks really beautiful." Li Ka-shing pinched the little face of the second lady of the Li family and said with a smile that the little girl was a little shy, after all, she had never come out to participate in such entertainment before.
After chatting for a while, Li Cong certainly knew that Li Ka-shing came here to gossip with him. After asking Liu Yan to take other members of the Li family to eat, Li Cong and Li Ka-shing found a secluded place to talk.
Gossip" comes.
Li Ka-shing's intention was obvious, he wanted Li Cong to join another organization, this one was the Chinese Association.
Speaking of this Chinese Association, Li Cong has never heard of it, but several of his friends are members of this organization. Qin Wuye, Kong Rende, Stanley Ho and the Li Chaoren in front of him are all members of the Chinese Association, but they
These people are only second-class members of the Chinese Association. The real people in power will not come out to show their faces. It is not that they have not thought of wooing Li Cong in the past few years, but the Skull and Bones Society will never allow such a thing to happen. Now let’s follow
It was completely different in the past. Even the Skull and Bones Society had to take Li Cong's power into consideration. Li Cong already had great power to choose. Even if he joined the Chinese Society, the Skull and Bones Society would not say anything.
In the past two years, there has been a lot of quarrel in order to win over Li Cong to join the association and give Li Cong some position. The main strength of the Chinese Association is in places where Chinese people gather. Qin Wuye and Kong Rende naturally want Li Cong to be the vice president.
Yes, but some people who are really in power in the Chinese Association don't want Li Cong to hold such high power. In their opinion, such a person has no foundation no matter how powerful he is. How could he be given the title of vice president?
This is the short-sightedness of the Chinese Association. The Skull and Bones Association gave Li Cong such a conspicuous position, but the Chinese Association always does things with an oriental feeling instead of weighing the actual interests, so from here
Look, their invitation this time is going to fail. Li Ka-shing and Kong Rende have also discussed this matter privately and believe that Li Cong will never be satisfied with the price offered by the organization.
