Chapter 185 Huo Family Dinner (Part )

When He Yukai found Cai Wenqing, Cai Wenqing was chatting with the eldest lady of the Huo family and several noble ladies from Hong Kong Island.

He Yukai didn't know who the other person was, and was at a loss as to what to do when Lou Zhenhua came over.

He Yukai was embarrassed. He didn't know what to do after coming out of Mr. Huo's study. There was no one he knew at the scene. Cai Wenqing was chatting with others. Fortunately, Lou Zhenhua came over. He was the only one with nothing to do among the groups of people here. He felt really bad.

"Xiao Kai, before we set off, Mr. Huo asked me where your gold came from. I told him that the gold you mortgaged was lent to you by me. Is there something wrong here? I should have told you at home, but Xiao Qing and my wife were there, so I didn't dare to tell her because I was afraid that Xiao Qing would worry."

Lou Zhenhua looked at He Yukai worriedly. After all, he came from there and had some understanding of the situation in Shenzhou.

Since Mr. Huo called to ask personally, it was very likely that he was asked by someone. Although he didn't know it, his many years of business career allowed him to react in time and he immediately covered for He Yukai.

"It's okay, Uncle Lou. Someone must have asked Mr. Huo to investigate. Thank you, Uncle Lou, for covering for me."

He Yukai breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the key point was here. Although he was wondering in Mr. Huo's study why Lou Zhenhua said that the gold was borrowed, he seemed very sure. Although he breathed a sigh of relief, it did not mean that he did not have any doubts.

Now these are all businessmen. Shenzhou will certainly not blindly investigate at this critical moment. As long as it does not involve its own interests, it will not investigate.

If the person investigating was changed to Mr. Huo, there would be no problem. He Yukai had originally driven out of the Lou family villa and stayed at the Lou family. He had not loaded anything from others into the car. It was very easy to investigate his whereabouts.

I have caused some noise, so it is only natural that I get noticed. There is nothing wrong with this.

What he didn't know was that someone was also investigating him, and when they found out that he was from Shenzhou, they were quite nervous. If it was an official, it would be very difficult. Fortunately, He Yukai cashed out without delaying for too long, which made Lao Yinbi feel relieved.

"As long as you have the basics in mind, I'll just ask about the situation."

Lou Zhenhua looked at He Yukai thoughtfully. This young man was indeed not simple. He managed to transport so much gold to Hong Kong Island without making any noise. The key point was that he did not use his channels. He was unfathomable.

He Yukai thought that what he had been doing recently might not have much impact on Hong Kong Island, but it was all new to Shenzhou. It seemed that he had to keep a low profile in the future, at least at this stage.

It should be said that all those people who came to Hong Kong Island are under surveillance. If they had known earlier, they would have come here on their own. After finishing the business of the entertainment company, they can go back quickly!
"Mr. He, let me introduce you to some people."

While He Yukai and Lou Zhenhua were thinking about something, Young Master Huo came over with a few people.

"This is the Bao family, Mr. Wu"

He Yukai looked at Mr. Wu in surprise. Mr. Bao's second son-in-law was a legendary figure. His greatest achievement was helping Mr. Bao defeat Jardine Matheson's acquisition of Wharf Holdings, which enabled Mr. Bao to successfully transform. The Bao Group officially became a major merchant integrating shipping and distribution businesses, thus filling in the gaps of the Bao Group.

From then on, things were like a meteoric rise, and my vision kept rising. I think it was five years ago that I became Mr. Bao’s son-in-law.

"Hello, Mr. Wu"

He Yukai immediately shook hands and greeted him. This person might be helpful to his company in the future. Now they had met each other. This person might be able to obtain a cable TV license in the future. More friends mean more paths.

Mr. Wu also looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He was powerful and came from the mainland. Mr. Huo was so polite.

So much information already means that the person in front of him is not simple. If he had an ordinary background, Young Master Huo would not be so polite. After all, Young Master Huo's identity is there.

"Hello, Mr. He. If you have any problems in Hong Kong Island in the future, you can come to me. I can still give you some advice."

Mr. Wu was also polite to He Yukai. Since Mr. Huo was so polite, he was happy to interact with him.

He Yukai nodded, but did not take such polite words seriously. The two of them had no communication and were at most acquaintances. He Yukai was not so conceited as to think that what others said was true.

Just listen to what these wealthy businessmen say. Unless it can lead to a win-win situation, it is just empty talk.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu. I will definitely visit you if I have any questions in the future."

No matter how much you think about it, you still have to do it to save face.

"Mr. He, this is the eldest son of the Guo family."

Young Master Huo continued to introduce them to He Yukai, saying that these were all young masters from wealthy families with distinguished identities. He did not expect to meet so many of them today.

However, Du Han seems to be very well-mannered. He must have witnessed the hardships his parents went through in starting their business, which is why he is so strict with himself. His future achievements are not low.

"Hello, Mr. Guo"

He Yukai looked at this man who would one day be ranked among the top ten richest people in Hong Kong Island. If He Yukai were to evaluate him, he could only describe him as gentle and elegant.

"Hello, Mr. He"

Mr. Guo’s gentle smile is full of affinity.

The four largest Chinese families in Hong Kong are all here. Old man Li’s son is only in his teens and is obviously not in the eyes of these people.

"Mr. He, what do you think about China's economy? You are from China, so you should have a better understanding of it."

Mr. Wu looked at He Yukai and asked his own question. Mr. Wu was not just the son-in-law of the Bao family. His family was also quite powerful. Now the Bao family was paying attention to Wharf.

Of course, everyone knows about He Yukai's operations and believes that there is absolutely no problem with He Yukai's vision. At the same time, he is vigorous and resolute. Hutchison Whampoa was in an upward period, but He Yukai withdrew decisively. This point cannot but make people take notice. The stock price was inflated because Jardine Matheson was preparing to reap a wave of profits.

He Yukai entered the market with 300 million and exited with million, with a net profit of million. Although he adopted a five-fold leverage, the final % profit was naked.

"Mr. Wu, let me first briefly talk about China's advantages. China's biggest advantages are cheap labor and a huge market. I won't talk about cheap labor, as everyone knows that a huge market is also a given. With a population of almost one billion this year, shouldn't it attract many investors?"

He Yukai is full of confidence when he speaks of this. China is now full of opportunities and is at the forefront of the storm. The bigger your ideals are, the bigger the cake you can make.

"But..."

Mr. Wu was still hesitant to speak. Investing is not just about the market. There are many other aspects that must be considered. It is not that simple.

"Mr. Wu, I know what you are worried about. I think it is totally unnecessary. Mr. Huo knows that person. He is a strong-willed person who is determined to change the backward situation.

What I want to emphasize here is that those who enter the market first will get greater benefits and more discounts. The first person to try something new will be valued. When more people enter the market and more choices are available, things will be different.

Mr. Wu, if you believe me, follow Mr. Huo in the first batch, you won’t regret it.”

Mr. Wu looked at He Yukai in front of him and knew that He Yukai was speaking from the heart. Eyes are the windows to the soul. When He Yukai said this, he was in high spirits and full of confidence in the future. There was no mistake about this.

"I'm going to follow Mr. Huo to take a look."

Just at this moment, a strange male voice came.

He Yukai turned around and saw a strange middle-aged man walking towards him.

"Mr. Ho, this is the eldest son of Shaw Brothers. He is now managing Sing Tao Real Estate and Department Store in Singapore. When did Mr. Shaw come to Hong Kong Island?"

When Mr. Huo saw the person coming, he immediately introduced their origins to He Yukai. He was the host, so of course he was the one to introduce them if there was any doubt.

"I arrived yesterday. I heard that Mr. Huo was organizing a dinner today, so I followed my father here to broaden my horizons. He said that we should go together to take a look. Even if we don't invest, we can still take a look at the ancestral land.

I believe that China is a place full of opportunities and challenges. Although I have been in Sing Tao, I am very interested in charity work. I was planning to return to Sing Tao tomorrow. But what I heard from Mr. He today successfully aroused my interest. To be more precise, Mr. He’s confidence touched me. What do you think? "

Mr. Guo and Mr. Wu were silent. They both had huge families behind them, so they certainly couldn't express their opinions casually. Their situations were different from those of the Shaw family. The eldest son of the Shao family ran the business independently and had a lot of autonomy, but he didn't have that much autonomy.

It is true that people are different. The eldest son of the Shao family has independent decision-making power in many of his businesses, but they don't. Mr. Wu's own family has businesses and he also holds a position in the Bao family. He is definitely not as free and easy as the eldest son of the Shao family.

"Let's go back and discuss it with our family. If it doesn't work, we can just go there on a tour to find our relatives and see if we can get there," said Young Master Guo cautiously. He had been moved by the prospects described by He Yukai. None of these people didn't want to be independent and show everyone that they were still elites even after leaving their families.

He Yukai said that he understood their thoughts, but they still had a big problem to worry about and could not express their opinions casually in public. They also had to consider the opinions of their elders.

Even though Young Master Huo has considerable autonomy, matters like this still depend on Old Master Huo's opinion, and he dare not express his opinions casually in public.

"Okay, then we'll go with Mr. Huo to take a look."

The eldest son of the Shaw family looked like a generous man. He knew everyone's situation and did not let anyone express their opinions.

As for Young Master Huo, he will definitely go. Old Master Huo has already made a decision and is preparing to convene a large inspection team to go to Shenzhou.

"Okay, meeting is fate. When you all arrive in Shenzhou, I will definitely do my best to be a good host. When the time comes, I will definitely let you feel the charm of Shenzhou. You will definitely be reluctant to leave.
He Yukai also stated that when he gets there, he will be the host and he will make sure you fall in love with this land. At the same time, this is also a good opportunity for him to get closer to the people and how could he miss it.

The cultural level is not low, but He Yukai does not have a profound culture. Thousands of years of accumulation cannot compare to that of Hong Kong Island.

Besides, if you look around, you will find opportunities everywhere. For those who have been exposed to big business since childhood, how could they let go of the benefits that are within their grasp?

Businessmen all pursue projects that maximize profits and can make big money, and no businessman is immune to this.

The others all expressed their dissatisfaction. He Yukai was right. Once they got there, he would be the local boss. With him around, many things might be easier to handle.

Some people also consider whether to take out their own money to invest. It will just sit there anyway. Each of them has their own money, but it's not a lot.

In Mr. Huo's study, a group of old men were inside, and they were also discussing whether to go to Shenzhou.

"We have almost reached our conclusion. The delegation will depart in a month. No matter what you think, you must make a decision by then. I will definitely go. You should go back and think it over carefully."

While He Yukai and the others were holding up red wine and chatting, the bigwigs in the villa had finished their discussion. The head of the Shenzhou delegation had also read out the relevant preferential policies. Then Mr. Huo directly announced his ideas in their circle, saying, "Whether you go or not, I will definitely go."

Mr. Huo looked at these people. The purpose of today's dinner has been achieved. It just depends on how many people will come.

"Let's go, let's go out and show ourselves"

Mr. Huo was the host, so of course he was the one to lead the way. The big guys filed out and appeared in front of the garden. At this time, He Yukai was a little angry. Many people around him were worshipping foreigners, especially those small businessmen who had achieved some success.

When Young Master Huo came over, Lou Zhenhua left quietly.

Young Master Huo and his people can be said to be of the younger generation. I am of the older generation, but I am not strong enough to participate in the negotiations with the older generation. It would be very embarrassing to stay with the younger generation.

"Mr. He, what are you doing?"

Young Master Huo was the first to sense something was wrong with He Yukai, and his face turned livid, seemingly meaning no offense, as they had just been having a pleasant conversation.

As the host, I must understand that my father must have his reasons for attaching so much importance to He Yukai.

"It's okay. These people around me who have yellow skin but think they are superior are so shameless. These people who have forgotten their blood, their ancestors, and where their roots are actually standing here in a dignified manner. Their boastful appearance is disgusting."

That's right, He Yukai was angry. He was so worshipful of foreign things and still felt complacent about it. It would have been fine if he hadn't heard it, but now that he heard it, how could he suppress his inner anger?

"After more than 80 years of colonial experience, foreigners acted superior to others. It is inevitable that some people would forget their origins and their identities. Please forgive us for the poor hospitality of the Huo family."

Young Master Huo also knew that his father disliked such people. He did not expect that these small businessmen not only did not restrain themselves after being invited by the Huo family, but also talked big here.

Young Master Huo listened carefully. The discussion of those people was still going on, but since he was the host, he could only remember these people secretly. These people didn't know that they had been put on the Huo family's blacklist while they were talking big.

"If you ask me, you still have to invest in John Bull, so that you can get John Bull's recognition. If you can get the title, then your life will be worthwhile," said Merchant A.

"With your strength, you can get a title? You are dreaming. If you donate your assets for free, I wonder if you can get the lowest title. It's a pity that my strength is not up to the standards of the foreign masters, otherwise I am willing to donate my assets for free."

When Merchant B talked about the title, the passion in his eyes and tone could not be concealed.

He Yukai couldn't bear it any longer, but he couldn't say much. He now represented the mainland, and although he was not a member of the delegation, he came with the delegation after all. A conflict would not be conducive to the work of the delegation.

"Master Huo, is the venue's sound amplification equipment working?"

He Yukai couldn't refute directly. After all, it was the Huo family's dinner party and he couldn't ruin the party.

"Mr. He, it can be used, what do you mean?"

Young Master Huo looked at He Yukai in confusion. Is this guy going to start a speech?
“After arriving in Hong Kong Island, I happened to hear a song to liven up the atmosphere for everyone.”

At this time, He Yukai was determined. Even if Mr. Huo disagreed, he would still sing to expand the influence of Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhang's patriotic sentiments.

"sure"

Mr. Huo also wanted to hear what kind of songs would be sung on this occasion. At this stage, songs in Hong Kong are still created with the emotional entanglements between men and women as the background.

He Yukai nodded helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, your song is the best for this occasion. I plagiarized it in advance. I will give you one later as compensation."

Although plagiarizing a song is still a bit awkward, I don’t mind it too much. The purpose of a song is to resonate with people and influence everyone.

"Hello everyone, I am from the capital of China. I have been in Hong Kong for quite some time and have come into contact with so many people who deeply love China and are quietly helping China grow in their own way.

There is a great patriotic sentiment among the merchants that never fades, which moves me. Below I use a song I heard by chance to thank all the patriotic people for their help to China. I also ask for your comments. I would like to emphasize thanking Mr. Huo here. Mr. Huo’s patriotism is what touched me the most.”

There is no background music, so he can only sing a cappella. He Yukai is not very good at singing, and his voice is not accurate. However, He Yukai has his own patriotic feelings, and he should be able to express that feeling by singing with emotion.

The song "My Chinese Heart" was banned by capital for 14 years because of its singing. The pure patriotic sentiment makes people cry.

Mr. Huang's patriotism moved He Yukai, and Mr. Zhang's singing was full of tears. Even though Mr. Zhang was banned, he still sold his car just to raise funds for the Asian Games. This is a pure patriotic sentiment in Hong Kong Island, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a patriotic role model.

He didn't care what the people in the audience thought of his behavior, nor did he pay attention to those who looked at him with ridicule. He thought of the century-long national humiliation, the ancestors who fought bloody battles for fourteen years, and what he saw and heard on the battlefield. Although he didn't have any singing skills, as long as the song was infused with emotion, it would be different for the listeners.

Singing is not just about having a good voice, the most important thing is whether you can put your own emotions into it. There is a world of difference between singing with emotion and singing without emotion.

"The mountains and rivers are only in my dreams, I haven't been close to my motherland for many years..."

The song was finished with He Yukai shedding tears.

He Yukai's song made everyone linger on the hardships of China's century-long struggle and final liberation, on the countless Chinese sons and daughters who bravely fought for the country, and on the patriotic enthusiasm of countless overseas Chinese who donated money and materials.

He Yukai's song made those who had been making big comments bow their heads, of course there were also some people who disagreed.

However, everyone present listened and felt He Yukai's emotions.

Many people who were wavering became determined and prepared to go and have a look. There were also many reporters at the scene, recording this scene. The reporters were very excited, finally there was a tip-off. Some reporters looked at their colleagues and prepared to leave quietly, and immediately produced the article to get it published in the newspaper tomorrow.

He Yukai blushed at everyone's praise. After all, it was not his. Mr. Huang might not have finished composing the song yet, and Mr. Zhang had not started singing yet.

But their patriotic enthusiasm is the same, and the meaning they express is the same, and that is enough.
