Chapter 0376 – Invitation
This hall was not small though. But the speed of passing the word between people is much faster, but in just a few minutes, almost everyone in the arena knows that Zhuang Rui’s grandfather is the old general Ouyang, at this time people look at his gaze, can be much more complicated.
From 97 after the return of Hong Kong, the two places to travel many times more than before 97, almost all the business tentacles of the Hong Kong family, are extended to the mainland provinces, due to the vast number of people in the mainland, they are from the lucrative returns, at the same time, for the mainland’s social patterns, but also have a more profound knowledge.
The Mainland and Hong Kong are different, no matter what you do, all pay attention to personal contacts, some times, you come up with gold dollar policy, but not as good as others randomly make a phone call, of course, call this person. Must be to have weight, such as government officials and so on.
Money is not as good as power, this is Hong Kong people doing business in the Mainland, summed up the most important piece of experience, with this premise, of course, we all want to interact with some of the Mainland’s real power figures, but they are big families, the eyes are also high, the eyes also aim at so many people, the Ouyang family naturally listed among them.
Not to mention, if Ouyang Jun came to Hong Kong, the young generation inside the people, there will definitely be half of the welcome, like Zheng Gongzi and Ouyang Jun’s relationship is good, of course, this is also Zheng Gongzi deliberately befriending the reason.
But this will be Zheng Hua heart is regretting it, just now and Zhuang Rui hitched a conversation, why and then cold others well, such a good opportunity to be their own let go, we must know that a few years ago in order to get on the relationship with Ouyang Jun, Zheng Gongzi but spent a lot of thought.
Now Mr. Zheng is thinking about whether to invite Zhuang Rui to go out to sea tomorrow to make up for the rudeness just now? In fact, he is not really rude, just know Zhuang Rui’s identity, he has this feeling.
As for Zheng Hua’s side of the cow son of the heart is another mind, their family business and the mainland less, even if he just gave Zhuang Rui ate a dumb loss that thing, cow son also not much on the heart. It’s not just a matter of three to five million dollars!
“Hubby, we haven’t been to the mainland for a long time, right? How about going to Beijing with Xiao Zhuang in a few days? It’s just the right time to meet the in-laws’ mother as well, and the house that Xiaozhuang mentioned.”
Fang Yi’s words made Qin Haoran cry and laugh a little, this utilitarianism is also a little too strong! Last month a branch in Xi’an ribbon cutting, the two only just went, to his wife’s mouth, it becomes a long time not to go, but Qin Haoran still nodded and said, “Good, when I turn back to discuss with my daughter first, and then look at Xiaozhuang’s opinion!”
As the current family member of Qin’s jewelry, Qin Haoran’s heart is to understand, not to mention the background behind Zhuang Rui, that is, he is the identity of the director of the Jade Association, but also can help their own family’s jewelry company, nowadays not only is the price of jadeite soaring, that is, nephrite’s market price, is all the way up, the raw material is more in short supply now.
“Uncle Zhou, Guo Lao, Sir He, you a few people first chat, I go over there and say hello to friends ……”
Zhuang Rui is the youngest in generation at this table, although it is said that other people give face to grandfather, but he is also a bit like sitting on pins and needles, seeing that in the distance, Bo Mengan is waving to himself, and hastily said goodbye to a few old people, and took Qin Xuan Bing to leave the table.
At this time the auction also continued, after Zhuang Rui’s identity is revealed, although people’s hearts are a little shocked, but then also relieved, not to mention that a few old guys, is Qin Haoran their group of middle-aged people, but also most of them are now received by the highest level of the head of the reception, the eyelids are not so thin.
In the Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuan Bing towards the Bo Meng An along the way, pass by the people have lifted up the hands of the wine glass to Zhuang Rui gesture, this feeling and just came in when no one asked for completely different. Zhuang Rui can’t help but sigh in his heart, the status brought by a person’s origin, although it can’t determine the person’s ultimate achievement, but it will definitely bring a lot of convenience to it.
If they are empty rich and no grandfather like background, I’m afraid that this people, the most to their own when the mainland to the bumpkin, want to get their respect, there are only two ways, one is that you are richer than them, the other is that you have the same social status with them, in order to get their recognition.
“Brother Zhuang, you are a real person! We are also considered to be people who have suffered together, you actually don’t reveal anything, tomorrow I’ll treat you to a few more glasses of wine!”
Bo Mengan and Zhuang Rui had experienced that frightening night on the Tibetan prairie together, although Bo Mengan would be drunk, but their relationship is indeed a little closer than these gentlemen.
“Brother Park said what words, you now do out of this achievement, but also not rely on the family, right? That just gives us a platform, whether we can make achievements, or not to rely on their own efforts!”
Zhuang Rui said some words are not sincere, said to go to Tibet that will, he is also aware of the name Ouyang Gang, but even if he dreamed that he would actually be his grandson, that will want to show off, but also do not have that bottom line ah!
However, Zhuang Rui’s words, is to get next to the crowd of nodding recognition, they are all born in the rich family, since the birth of the family, it is a lot of attention, do well is relying on the family shade, if it is not doing well, then it will be accused of bit of playboy, uneducated and unprofessional.
So these rich and powerful sons and daughters although get to be more than the next person, but that kind of pressure, is also to be far greater than ordinary people, even marriage can not be independent, Zhuang Rui this unintentionally said words, is said in their heart, a time these people look at Zhuang Rui’s eyes, have become softer, is considered to be formally admitted to Zhuang Rui into this small group of them.
“Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Ouyang Jun and I are also old friends, if you come to Hong Kong and I don’t entertain. That would be something Mr. Ouyang would accuse me of, how about this! Tomorrow let’s go to the high seas for a bit of fun, we’ll all go together, what do you think?”
Zheng Hua also issued an invitation to Zhuang Rui, their family’s annual turnover of jewelry stores in the mainland now far exceeded their share of sales in Hong Kong, so for befriending the mainland’s real power figures, he was in a much more urgent mood than Bo Mengan.
“Tomorrow ……”
Zhuang Rui hesitated for a moment, turning his face to look at Qin Xuan Bing before replying, “Mr. Zheng, tomorrow is not expected, I came to Hong Kong and haven’t gone to Xuan Bing’s house yet, it’s a bit inappropriate. Brother Park, Mr. Zheng, how about this! When I leave Hong Kong that day, I will invite all my friends to get together, let’s see if it’s okay?”
Zhuang Rui this is half-true, tomorrow he is indeed to go to Qin family to pay his respects, but more of his mind, is placed on the body of Qin Xuan Bing, compared with the sea fishing excursion, obviously Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuan Bing do something good for the body and mind sports, more to be interested in some.
“Good, then it’s a deal, I’ll be the host at that time, Mr. Zhuang must visit ah!”
Zheng Hua also did not force Zhuang Rui, then and Zhuang Rui exchanged business cards, after seeing the title on Zhuang Rui’s business card, he was also surprised and said, “I didn’t think that Mr. Zhuang is actually the director of the Jade Association! When I go to Beijing in the future, I’ll be sure to intrude.”
“If Mr. Zheng comes to Beijing, just call me.”
Zhuang Rui was thinking in his mind at the moment, whether or not he should ask the Jade King of Xinjiang – Master Adira – to sell a little bit of jade to Hong Kong! That being said, his own hands are really a bit tight right now, even if this piece of violet eyes is solved, that won’t be able to be exchanged for money in an instant.
However, after promising the Jade Prince that he would not interfere in any matters concerning the jade mine, Zhuang Rui thought about it for a while, but still dismissed the idea.
In fact, Zhuang Rui does not know, Hong Kong Hetian jade jewelry import channels, most of them are from the Jade Prince, that old man is far more shrewd than Zhuang Rui imagined, his current hoarding behavior, has caused the mainland and Hong Kong’s nephrite raw materials tensions, the price is already a few times over.
That old man is trying to take this opportunity, the national nephrite raw materials market, re-examine a reshuffle, to some of the raw materials of small businessmen are eliminated out, in that case, he can form a monopoly of the Hetian jade market, China is not like the United States, there will be someone to sue you for monopoly in the court of law, the Jade King does not eat this set of.
“Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and guests, we are now going to proceed with the auction of the last lot of the day, which is offered by Commander Huang, please see ……”
While Zhuang Rui and Zheng Hua and the others were chatting, this charity auction also came to an end, and the grand finale lot, which was provided by Commander Huang, two soldiers in military uniforms, carried a tray with a diameter of more than half a meter into the hall, only the object on the tray, was covered with red silk, but from the outside, the size of this thing should not be small.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”
After the tray was placed on the table, the auctioneer lifted the red silk cloth up, an airplane made entirely of shells and bullet casings, presented in front of the eyes of the crowd, the entire aircraft body is about one meter long, the wings are made of a machine gun bullet, while at the nose, it is a howitzer warhead, of course, all the bullets were fired, the ground fire has been destroyed.
The whole warplane was ferried with a layer of silver color, the shape had beautiful lines, and under the light, the silver glittered, which instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
“One hundred thousand, I’ll offer one hundred thousand dollars for this fighter plane.”
“Two hundred thousand dollars, it’s really beautiful.”
“I’ll offer three hundred thousand dollars!”
“Qin Sheng, don’t fight over this thing, let me have it! I’ll offer half a million dollars.”
After the crowd was shocked for a moment, they started bidding, unlike the items auctioned earlier, almost no one was willing to make concessions, and the price of this model warplane went all the way up, and in the end, it was only when Guo Lao bid up to nine million Hong Kong dollars that he took it for himself.
