"He Dong, I understand what you mean and how you feel. From a personal perspective, I very much support your actions, but our situations are different."
Li Heng smiled bitterly and interrupted what the middle-aged man in front of him had not yet said.
He Dong, the head of the He family in Hong Kong Island, is also the president of the Hong Kong Island Chinese Business Association. Over the past few decades, he has provided help to the north and transported supplies. Guanghuasheng Shipping does not know how much work it has taken on from them.
Today he came over again to persuade Li Hengneng to set off to the north with them.
The same drama has been played out every year since the 1960s to the present seven or eight years.
I don’t know why this He Dong thought he could succeed.
Li Heng really admired this person. It was really not easy to do something for decades.
In particular, the He family has actually been having a tough time these past few years. He has been very vocal about his help, which is no different from the United Bank. Because of this, he has been targeted by British-funded companies. If it weren't for the fact that the He family has many allies,
It provided him with a lot of help, and it may have been absorbed by British-owned enterprises long ago.
Huasheng has actually provided a lot of help to their family over the years. Just like when they opened the first entertainment city on the island in the west, the He family first looked for Huasheng. If Li Heng hadn't nodded in the end, that entertainment city would have been
Hejia couldn't get in at all.
Not to mention the second company, which was completely led by Huasheng. In the end, some members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce were given some shares, and they were brought along to play together.
It is precisely because of the presence of Huasheng that those British-funded enterprises did not dare to go too far. In addition, members of their Chinese Chamber of Commerce worked together to tide over the difficulties together. This is how they have managed to survive these years.
"Mr. Li, I still think you should go and take a look. As Chinese, that is our hometown. If our home is better, those of us who work hard outside will have more confidence, right?"
Obviously, Dong and Dong are not so easy to get along with. He doesn't care about anything else at all and just talks about what he should talk about.
He is five years older than Li Heng and has just passed his fifties. Li Heng just celebrated his fiftieth birthday in July last month. Because there were elders above him, he only ate with Fang Xiaoya on his birthday.
For a bowl of noodles, Yirou secretly learned how to roll the noodles by herself, and also made a poached egg for each of them.
Closer to home, after so many years of dealing with Dong, I have already figured out Li Heng’s psychology and know that he is not the kind of person who is difficult to deal with, so the conversation between the two is more like an exchange between friends. The only difference is that others can be
Friends are like-minded, and they feel more like they cherish each other.
Li Heng admired from the bottom of his heart what He Dong had done for the country over the years, and He Dong admired that Li Heng could build such a powerful business empire in just twenty years.
Although Fang Xiaoya manages all affairs in the company, anyone with a discerning eye actually knows what is going on.
"He Dong, I still say the same thing, Huasheng's situation is different from your company's situation. I can make the decision on some things, but I really can't make the decision on some things. When will foreign capital be allowed to invest there?
I might ask Huasheng to go over and see if there are any suitable opportunities, but for now..."
At this point, Li Heng spread his hands: "With all due respect, it's hard to say what the situation will be like in the future. We also read the news. I'm really afraid that orders will change overnight. I have to be responsible to Huasheng's shareholders."
, but also responsible for Huasheng’s nearly one million employees around the world.”
"Mr. Li, I understand your mood, that's why I invite you to go and take a look. It's really different from previous years. There have been great changes, especially in terms of politics."
"Well, I have heard what you said, but I still have concerns. To be honest, losing a little money is nothing to us in Huasheng, but if I lose the people under me, I will
How to explain to other people's wives, children and young children.
Moreover, I know that you and Dong have been going there a lot over the years. You go there almost every year. If you just go there and take a look, can you really see the real situation? I’m afraid all you see is them.
I want you to see it."
"Well……"
There is no way Dong and I can refute these words. This is the fact. What I can show you is always the best side.
After sighing silently in his heart, he changed the topic to Dong and talked about something else. He actually came here with other tasks today.
"Mr. Li, let's not talk about this today. You can think about it later. I actually have other tasks when I come here today. I just want to come and propose marriage to you."
Propose marriage?
Li Heng was almost stupid for not listening!
What the hell, his eldest son Xiao Yichen is only eleven years old this year, and there are no children of this age in the He family at all. No, no, there is, but if you want to talk about it, he is the third generation of the He family. This
She is the daughter of Dong's eldest son and is a generation younger than Yichen. Is this old guy trying to take advantage of her?
Thinking of this, he looked over suspiciously.
"No, no, no, no, no, Mr. Li, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not here to kiss my granddaughter, and I don't have the dignity to be your elder."
The retired head of the He family, who is over seventy years old, and Li Heng are brothers. Dong and Dong, who are only five years older, dare not take advantage of this. They are definitely looking for scolding.
"I am referring to my youngest daughter, Heli, who is eight years old this year. I want to betroth her to your second son, Yidong."
This is right!
After listening, Li Heng nodded inwardly.
The little daughter Dong was talking about was born to his third concubine. If she was betrothed to Yitong, she would be a good match. If he wanted to betrothed to Yichen, it would be ugly.
Yichen was born to Fang Xiaoya. According to the older generation, he was the eldest son of the Li family, and it was definitely impossible to marry the daughter of a concubine.
Yitong was born by Yirou and had the same status as Dong's younger daughter, but Li Heng felt a little uncomfortable.
In his mind, all his children are the same, regardless of whether they are direct children or concubines, but others don't think so.
"He Dong, is it too early to get your child engaged so early?"
The two children are ten and eight years old, which is indeed a bit early. Who knows what life will be like in the future.
But He Dong obviously wanted to find a strong in-laws for himself, and it was a pity that the children of the Li family were too young and could not get married right away.
Li Heng also didn't expect that he would have to worry about marriage now that his child was older. It was quite interesting no matter how he thought about it.
