Rebirth: Outstanding - Chapter 549
Xu Pingsheng traveled from Guangdong to Hong Kong for decades, because he was not a rich man since he was a child, so even if he is now known as the ship king in Hong Kong, he is still far inferior to the Shanghai and Shanghai that Yu Shiting has seen before in terms of enjoying life. business.
This is why the Shanghainese would call Hong Kong people the same as the unseen turtles after they came to Hong Kong.
It’s like when Yu Shiting entertained Song Tianyao, he chose the place of hospitality among the quiet garden he spent hundreds of purchases. Only a quiet garden can be equal to all the shops on the five streets in the eastern district of Hong Kong Island. For Shi Ting, this is just a leisure garden for his banquets and relaxation, and he doesn’t necessarily go in once a month.
In contrast, Xu Pingsheng hosted the local and Hong Kong shipping merchants tonight is much smaller. He set up the dinner in his backyard with more than a dozen tables in the open air. Although they have everything they need, they also deliberately. Invite a Western band to accompany him, but Xu Pingsheng is more like an ordinary businessman who lives thrifty and frugal than Yu Shiting’s magnanimity.
However, no one would laugh at Xu Pingsheng for being stingy. It’s just that he has a different hobby. He likes horse racing. The money spent on the horse team over the years is probably enough to buy two or three quiet gardens. The pursuit of his own quality of life is actually the last place. .
Besides, the guests sitting today know that Xu Pingsheng’s invitation to the banquet is just a decorative supporting role. The real protagonists are Song Tianyao and Tan Jingwei, who are in the limelight recently. Especially Song Tianyao, who is now being offered a high-priced reward for his life outside, is hosting the dinner in Xu Mansion.
“Boss Xu is protecting Song Tianyao!” A Hong Kong shipping merchant was sitting at the table, observing the guests passing by, and uttering his views to the people at the table.
The other boat dealer sitting on his left shook his head: “It depends on what the people on both sides talk about tonight. If they don’t agree, Song Tianyao may not leave Xu Mansion.”
The remaining ship merchants at the same table also nodded secretly, apparently agreeing with this statement. The crux of the matter now lies in the irreconcilable contradiction between Song Tianyao and Tan Jingwei. If this problem is not resolved, who is the enemy and who is Friends, outsiders like them can’t see clearly.
“I heard that Chu Xiaozhong also used two million hidden flowers to kill Song Tianyao. I am afraid that tonight is more than Song Tianyao and Tan Jingwei’s grievance!” A Shanghai shipping merchant sitting on another table picked up a wine glass and raised his eyes to the side door of the backyard. Looking at it, a small western-style building was built there, and through the windows of the western-style building, the people inside were vaguely visible.
Xu Pingsheng invited the shipping merchants from Hong Kong and Shanghai tonight, as well as Chu Yaozong, Yu Shiting, Lu Wenhui, Zhou Xiyu, Cai Wenbai, Gu Quan and others. Anyone of these people came out and stomped, it’s enough. This has caused turmoil in the entire Hong Kong economic chain, and only Xu Pingsheng, a Chinese tycoon of the same level as them, can invite these people out and gather together.
These real Chinese tycoons, of course, cannot, like the supporting actors downstairs, set up a few tables on the green lawn in the backyard to entertain them. Even if they don’t care, Xu Pingsheng can’t afford to lose this person as a host.
In the spacious second-floor conference hall, there were no long tables, only a few sofas were placed at will, and a tea table was placed in front of the sofa. Xu Pingsheng invited a group of Chinese tycoons to take a seat one after another, and he was the last one to take a seat, smiling at everyone.
“It’s rare that you all have a leisure time today. Come to my house and sit down.” Xu Pingsheng looked at Chu Yaozong, who was smiling but silent, with a kind smile on his face. He pointed to the tea set placed on the tea table in front of him: “Yao Zong, the Pu-erh tea cake from the Daoguang period, I asked for this from Xi Yu. You must taste it today.”
When Zhou Xiyu heard him mention himself, he hehe smiled: “I still wonder that you don’t even taste Biluochun and Tieguanyin at ordinary times. Why did you stare at my tea cake because it turned out to be a favor.”
Chu Yaozong also laughed: “Well, you Zhou Xiyu, you lied to me that you drank this tea cake last time. It turns out that you want to hide it and enjoy it slowly. The friendship between me and you for decades can’t match. This tea cake?”
“Friendship is friendship, and tea cake is tea cake.” Zhou Xiyu smiled in his eyes: “If you old fellow is really about friendship, why don’t the two big red robes hidden at home come out to entertain me?”
Everyone in the hall knew that both Chu Yaozong and Zhou Xiyu were tea lovers. At this moment, they couldn’t help but smile when they heard them bickering.
“Boss Yu, on the route from Hong Kong to South Africa, I don’t plan to run next year.” Xu Pingsheng turned his face to Yu Shiting, with a sincere tone: “I heard that Ji Zhong will be celebrating his birthday soon, as I gave him his birthday in advance. Gift, what do you think?”
The room was quiet, and everyone looked at Yu Shiting’s expressions calmly. Xu Pingsheng and Yu Shiting have fought secretly for so many years, and now one of them has taken the initiative to make profit, even a fool can smell it. The taste, let alone these old ghosts.
Yu Shiting rubbed the jade finger on his thumb and looked back at Xu Pingsheng with a smile: “Boss Xu, didn’t you say that today is a family dinner and will not discuss business? You give such a big gift for no reason, I am afraid that I will return later. Sorry!”
Back to your mother! Xu Pingsheng had already cursed at Shiting a long time ago, but the smile on his face did not fade: “What business is not business, I just think that everyone is Chinese and should help each other. I have occupied the route for so many years. Now the Brit can’t help but want to come in and get a piece of the pie, and let Jie Zhong deal with it so that they can block their mouths. Is it really letting the Brit cut meat from us Chinese?”
This sentence is a bit blatant. Xu Pingsheng has a mouthful of a Chinese, and anyone can hear that he is helping Song Tianyao to speak, although he ostensibly stated that the South African route is a birthday present to Yu Shiting’s eldest son, Yu Jianzhong. But everyone here can hear that this gift is more like a gift, given to Yu Shiting’s adopted daughter and Song Tianyao.
Gu Quan, the tycoon of Yongan Group, coughed lightly, smiled and said to everyone in the hall: “Speaking of gifts, my daughter Lin Shan will be getting married in a while. Boss Xu, we have known each other for so many years, you can’t Be favoritism!”
When Yu Shiting heard Gu Quan speak, he hummed softly and turned his head aside.
Gu Quan’s daughter Gu Linshan and Tan Jingwei have recently been suppressing the shares held by Shanghainese. However, because it is a struggle between juniors, a tycoon at the level of Yu Shiting could not intervene. Otherwise, Hong Kong people are still fighting. When the people of Shanghai go to war, it will turn into a big game of capital between the two parties, which is not good for anyone.
However, Gu Linshan and Tan Jingwei are backed by Yongan Bank and the other by Taiwan. The energy of the two parties’ joint efforts can no longer be underestimated. At least from the current situation, Song Tianyao has been retreating steadily.
Now that Gu Quan mentioned Gu Linshan’s marriage, he clearly told everyone present that you can hold Song Tianyao up at Yu Shiting, and Yongan can also hold Tan Jingwei out.
“Brother Quan…” Xu Pingsheng looked at Yu Shiting’s face, and was about to stand up to make a round of it, but Gu Quan did not give him this opportunity.
Gu Quan interrupted Xu Pingsheng’s words: “Boss Xu, I guess you know that too. My son-in-law is also Chinese. Will you deny this?”
Everyone in the hall heard the words with different expressions, and no one jumped out to refute Gu Quan.
Song Tianyao is a Chinese, and Tan Jingwei is of course also a Chinese, but one represents the mainland and the other represents Taiwan. The difference is too great if they have to be confused.
But Gu Quan’s words were both emotional and rational, and Xu Pingsheng typed out the Chinese name to support Song Tianyao, but who would dare to say that Tan Jingwei is not Chinese? This kind of team does not stand casually. No matter how much capital you have, once you rise to the political level, it will be no different from a fat sheep that is harmless to humans and animals.
The atmosphere in the hall has solidified a bit, and several Chinese tycoons are holding tea cups or cigars, all seemingly irrelevant.
Lu Wenhui is a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, and his backing is a British person. Even if he has a clear stand at this time, it is impossible to stand up for Song Tianyao or Tan Jingwei.
Chu Yaozong, Chairman of Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Xiyu, Chairman of Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, and Cai Wenbo, Chairman of Wuyi Chamber of Commerce, are in the same situation as Lu Wenhui, and the three of them have talked about it more than once in private and have come to conclusions. That is, if you can’t touch this pool of water, you will never touch it. Their position represents not only themselves, but also the thousands of fellow villagers who followed them to eat. One step wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, Chu Yaozong, the president of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, did not want to speak, but Xu Pingsheng was not going to let him go.
“Yao Zong, you were trained by you alone, don’t you say a few words at this time?” Xu Pingsheng glanced at Chu Yaozong, who was an old monk, and asked with a smile.
Chu Yaozong seemed to have been wandering beyond the sky. At this time, he heard Xu Ping’s eloquence suddenly recovered, but he didn’t plan to pick up the hot potato that Xu Pingsheng handed over. Instead, he smiled and picked up the teacup to the people in the hall. Signaling: “Come, please tea.”
