Chapter 1212 – Birthday (II)

“Good day birthday man, I wish you good fortune like the East Sea and longevity like South Mountain!”

Although Dr. Shu Wen is a foreign devil, he speaks Cantonese and Mandarin with that smoothness, “Elder Qin is a jade expert, I didn’t bring anything with me, this Qianlong Jade Seal will be used as a congratulation for Elder Qin’s birthday.”

Shu Wen is more than ten years younger than Qin old man, see the old man personally welcomed up, posture put very low, this let the onlookers guests also feel quite surprised.

To know, Shu Wen’s maritime kingdom spreads all over the world, and has the foundation laid by his father-in-law, the old ship king, there is no need to look at the face of the mainland side of the face, and now acted out such a show, do not know what the intention is?

“Oh, Mr. Shu too polite, fast, inside please, today old friends but came a lot of ah!”

Onlookers may not know, but Master Qin’s heart is like a mirror, in recent years, the international financial situation is not very good, on the contrary, the domestic economy is developing rapidly, which makes a lot of Hong Kong tycoons who did not enter the mainland market before regret.

Shu Wen is also the same, some years ago, the attention of the attention of the revitalization of the ship king’s industry, and from the death of his old father-in-law, there is very little and the domestic high level of communication, especially a few years ago with Zhuang Rui after the war, has been to enter the domestic market concerns.

This time personally come to celebrate the birthday of the old man Qin, also has the intention of wanting to ease the relationship with Zhuang Rui, after all, counting the rich and powerful on Hong Kong Island, the Qin family is definitely the closest relationship with the mainland senior a family.

On the left is the fourth wife pushing the gambling king’s wheelchair, on the right is the world’s ship king Shu Wen, and in the center is the old man Qin, surrounded by a crowd of people, walking towards the back garden, attracting the attention of the young generation guarding the front garden.

Elder Qin’s heart is also full of emotion at this moment, if in previous years, he is not qualified to participate in these Hong Kong Island super rich and powerful people’s party, but today, these people are door to door to pay their birthday call, give him enough face.

This was also the Qin family’s most glorious moment after a hundred years of struggle in Hong Kong Island, and there was no doubt that after this birthday, the Qin family would also be ranked among the super families of Hong Kong Island.

“It’s all brought about by this young man!”

The old master saw Zhuang Rui who was being surrounded by a group of young people in the middle, secretly celebrating his good luck, this granddaughter-in-law’s character was beyond reproach, more importantly, his deep background benefited the Qin family greatly.

Business and politics have never been unrelated. Although Zhuang Rui is not a direct member of the Ouyang family, nor does he hold any official position, his status is enough to allow the Qin family’s business to move freely in the mainland.

Dr. Shu Wen followed the old man Qin to the back, while the grandson of that ship king, but stayed behind, period, walked to Zhuang Rui, said: “Zhuang …… Zhuang Rui big brother, you …… Hello! ……”

“It’s old brother Niu ah! Come, come, please sit, please sit ……”

Although Zhuang Rui did not have any good feelings towards this dude who had clashed with himself, the things that happened a few years ago were already in the past, so he enthusiastically shook hands with Niu Hong at that moment and gave him a seat.

But this bullish guy, these years or no growth, in Zhuang Rui circle listened to a while they talk about antiques Genghis Khan Mausoleum thing, just feel like a needle felt, not a moment to find an excuse to slip out of the circle of Zhuang Rui, looking for a few smelly friends on the sidelines bragging about the star sports car to come.

Soon the night fell, and the Qin family villa area in the mid-levels, is brightly lit, the old man of Qin’s birthday, in this moment is considered to be the official start.

Elder Qin was sitting in the middle of the spacious garden, by Qin Haoran with his two younger brothers and Qin’s children, kowtowing to the old man to wish him a happy birthday, nowadays, the country has seldom kowtowed to the elders, but this custom, however, is retained in Hong Kong, no matter how old you are, in the New Year’s festivals or the birthday of the elders, it is mandatory to kneel down to pay respect to them.

“Grandpa, I wish you a crane counting a thousand years of life and a pine age of ten thousand years of spring, my grandson wishes you a happy birthday.”

After Qin Haoran paid his birthday respects, it was Zhuang Rui who brought Qin Xuanbing to wish the old man a happy birthday, and presented two congratulatory gifts that were placed on the square table next to the old man.

And then after that is to come to pay tribute to the birthday of some of the younger generation, in turn up to the old man Qin birthday congratulations presented birthday gifts, not long, in the table next to the old man, on the table, filled with a variety of antiques and paintings jade and precious stones.

When the guests presented their gifts, someone would sing the directory according to the gift list, and when it came to Dr. Shu Wen’s jade seal, Duke Niu said proudly, “My aunt’s jade seal, which was auctioned off in England, cost 10 million pounds at the time, I think, today’s congratulatory gifts will be the most expensive of our family.”

Although when he came here today, his aunt and uncle repeatedly explained that he should not publicize it, but his temperament made him do so, Niu Hong still couldn’t help but praise his family’s congratulatory gift.

“Hehe, old brother Niu’s family lineage, this is definitely an extraordinary gift.”

Zhuang Rui smiled on the side, this jade seal is indeed Qianlong imperial, and is imitation of the imperial seal of the state, in recent years in the international auction prices soared, ten million pounds of auction price is not an exaggeration.

Compared with the white jade carved longevity male ornament given by Zhuang Rui, this jade seal is indeed much more expensive, and Niu Hong said that it is the most expensive gift in the room, which is not too much.

“That’s of course, Brother Zhuang heard that he is playing antiques, why don’t you get something good to give to the old man?”

Niu Hong became more and more flamboyant after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, hearing some of the people around Zhuang Rui frowned, “Is there such a thing as talking like this? Birthday gift is a thought, how can you take money to measure?”

To say that Niu Hong in these families within the son, is indeed counted as an anomaly, uneducated not to mention, alone this see people want to provoke the temperament, can live to now also so moist, all thanks to his grandfather of the ship king in the life of a wide range of good relations.

Just Niu Hong does not know, Zhuang Rui sent inside the congratulatory gift, there are things not known to outsiders, alone the shares of the new company in Macau, its value is incalculable. Of course, these things were to be operated privately, there was no need to publicize them in a big way.

In some ways, the fact that the Qin family had a strong political background in the mainland was not enough to place them among the ranks of Hong Kong Island’s super families, but with that fifteen percent stake in Macau, the Qin family had the qualifications to do so.

Because in Hong Kong Island’s super family, more or less hands will have some Macau casino shares, which implicitly become a measure of Hong Kong Island family financial strength and strength of a standard.

“Oh, the old man birthday, when the younger generation to send a token of appreciation, there is no need to be so pompous.”

Zhuang Rui of course will not and Niu Hong really, this guy even grandfather’s private collection of antiques can be stolen out of the gambling, simply a two hundred and five, smiled and responded a sentence.

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Niu Hong thought he had the upper hand and said proudly, “Well, you mainlanders are just a bit petty when it comes to gambling.”

Niu Hong’s words made the aside Bo Meng An look away and digress, saying, “Brother Zhuang, what’s that gift of yours that’s in the long box?”

Zhuang Rui casually replied, “Oh, it’s a piece of calligraphy given to Grandpa Qin by the elders of the family, it hasn’t been framed yet, so I didn’t take it out.”

The speaker has no intention to listen, Zhuang Rui’s words, so that those around him know his family history of people’s eyes, are bright up, to know, can be called Zhuang Rui elders, in the country are not in a high position ah!

Only Niu Gongzi, who was oblivious to the changes in the eyes of the people around him, asked carelessly, “Che, what’s so good about a piece of writing, right, Brother Zhuang, is your family a calligrapher?”

In Duke Niu’s opinion, in this world, except for those who have more money than their family, are worthy of respect, like what artists stars and so on, that are all for them, especially female stars, that are just playthings for rich people.

Zhuang Rui shook his head and said, “The elders’ writing is average and a token of appreciation.”

“Then there’s no need to look, Brother Zhuang, will you be free in a while? There’s a small party at my place in the evening, a few of last year’s Hong Kong Sisters will be there.”

When Niu Hong heard the word not a celebrity, he was even more unconcerned, he hadn’t forgotten the purpose of his aunt’s asking him to make friends with Zhuang Rui this day, but apart from playing with celebrities, Niu Gongzi was just racing cars, so with his intellect, he really couldn’t think of any activities to invite Zhuang Rui to.

“Oh, Mr. Niu, I’m sorry, it’s too late today, next time there’s a chance, I’ll definitely go, I’ll definitely go.”

Zhuang Rui has not really seen such a two-stick, his wife is right next to him, he actually dared to shout at himself to go play with women to go? Not to mention Hong Kong, even in the mainland, who does not know the nature of the party that invited those Hong Kong ladies to participate in ah?

“Hey, I say, you can’t not give face to Brother Zhuang!”

“Alright, Niu Lao Er, go aside ……”

Niu Hong was still to say more, when a hand coldly pushed his body to the side.

“Holy shit, which puffer boy dared to push …… Uh, it was Zheng! Sorry, sorry ……”

Duke Niu was trying to be brash, but he saw that the person who pushed him was Zheng Hua, and a smile appeared on his face, knowing that within their generation, except for the little superheroes who were seldom in Hong Kong, Zheng Hua was the head of the three generations of children.

Although Niu Hong was brash and despised Zhuang Rui in his heart, he didn’t dare to call Zheng Hua’s bluff, knowing that that old man of the Zheng family was on the same level as his grandfather.

After rebuking Niu Hong, Zheng Hua turned his face to Zhuang Rui and said: ”Brother Zhuang, I think you’d better take out that calligraphy of the elder to have a look! Let us juniors also see the elder’s ink treasure.”

“Yeah! Let’s open our eyes!”

“The elder’s writing, that must be extraordinary, old brother Zhuang, must take a look.”

“Little Zhuang, the ink treasures of the elders are to be opened! It’s also a way to cheer up Uncle Qin’s birthday!”

As soon as Zheng Hua’s words fell, a crowd of people chimed in, even some of Qin Haoran’s peers who were standing not far away were attracted over.
