The noise and music of the melodious and lively birthday party could be heard in the distance. The luxurious and restrained room was brightly lit, and about twenty people were drinking and socializing in this room.
It seems like another world here. Outside is a children's party, but here is the place where the storm is changing, the real center stage.
Michael Kadoorie introduced the rich and famous people present to Jinggao one by one. He didn't deliberately look for someone to be the first introducer, but just chatted and said hello one by one along the circles in the room.
This time, it was no longer Li Guobao who translated for Jing Gao, but Wu Jingshu.
The first person to introduce was He Chaoqiong, executive chairman and managing director of Shun Tak Group. The daughter of King Ho Gambling is famous in Hong Kong Island.
Jing Gao quite likes to read online articles. He Chaoqiong will appear in many Hong Kong entertainment articles. Some are even female protagonists. She was very beautiful when she was young, with outstanding business talents. Her relationship with the prince of love songs, Chen Baiqiang, was even more sad. She was the singer who sang "I Just Like You".
"Hello, Mr. Jing. Nice to meet you." He Chaoqiong has reached middle age, his appearance is no longer good, and he has gained weight. But as an entrepreneur, he has the magnanimity of a rich and powerful daughter. She now has not only business achievements, but also many public offices. It was obvious that she would be the heir to the He family.
Jing Gao gathered his thoughts and felt a little like he had entered the world. Shake hands with He Chaoqiong and say, "Hello, Ms. He."
The people chatting with He Chaoqiong are Xu Jiayin, chairman of the board of directors of Evergrande Group, and Yang Shuaishou of Emperor.
Xu Jiayin is not much different from the image on TV. He is wearing a suit and leather tie. He smiles and says: "Mr. Jing, it's better to see than to hear a hundred times! He is really a young talent. Do you have time recently? I'll treat you to a cup of tea. I have something to talk to you about." Please communicate. This is my business card."
"Excessive praise." Jing Gao said modestly. Exchange business cards with Xu Hengda. In fact, as soon as he heard these words, he knew that Xu Hengda was waiting for him here specifically. He happily agreed. "Mr. Xu, then tomorrow morning?"
Phoenix Fund also has real estate business. Evergrande is currently developing at a high speed. The richest man in China in 2016 was Da Laowang. Evergrande is very hopeful to make an impact. He is not afraid of any capital, but he will not mess around and make enemies randomly.
Xu Jiayin laughed and had a very good first impression of this young man. He shook hands with Jing Gao and said, "That's okay. I'll be waiting for Mr. Jing at Sir Kadoorie's Peninsula Hotel."
Everyone laughed.
…
…
Leaving this small circle, Wu Jingshu whispered beside Jing Gao at the right time: "Mr. Jing, they often play cards together, called the Big D Club."
Jing Gao nodded gently.
Next, Michael Kadoorie took Jing Gao to get to know the rich and famous people in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia. Hong Kong Island and Singapore are the two central cities in Southeast Asia. Since Jing Gao has come to Hong Kong Island and his business has extended to Southeast Asia, people who want to know him will not be limited to Hong Kong Island.
For family businesses like the four major families in Hong Kong, Jing Gao's weight is not enough for the family leaders to come out, but each family has sent their second generation to the scene as representatives. Mr. Jing is still very good!
Anyone who acquires a bank with a market value of HK$50 billion on the Hong Kong stock market will receive the attention it deserves. What's more, Uber has already begun investment and mergers and acquisitions in Southeast Asia, and its momentum is like a tiger going downhill.
On the contrary, Jiuge Capital, which was established by Jing Gao in the early stage, and Chenxi Bank and Chenxi Investment, which were newly recruited by Wei Chenjun, are quite low-key.
Jing Gao and Li Jiacheng's eldest son Li Zegou, Zheng Jiachun, who owns New World and Chow Tai Fook, manages Li Jiacheng, the Hong Kong Island business of Henderson Land Development, Sun Hung Kai's Kwok brothers Guo Pingjiang, Guo Pingxiang and others met each other and exchanged a few words.
They also include Sugar King, Guo Siyue, who is sent by the Guo family of Malaysia and serves as executive director and president of Galaxy Group.
Among the celebrities, there are many doctors, barristers and parliamentarians. This made Jing Gao feel quite surprised. He has participated in banquets many times, and the composition of this kind of celebrity gave him a different experience. Of course, this is a capitalist society!
It is true that the customs are different.
Jing Gao thought that was over, so Michael Kadoorie took Jing Gao to another small circle where they were chatting and introduced: "This is Director Gu of the Joint Office." After greetings, he introduced the big-name reporters who were present today. Consuls of various countries on Hong Kong Island.
"Sir, thank you for your hospitality." Jing Gao raised his glass and signaled to Michael Kadoorie. At this time, the two of them were resting in a corner of the room.
Michael Kadoorie smiled and said: "You're welcome. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Jing. Oh, I'm really tired, so I'll excuse you for a while. If you need anything, you can ask the butler. Philip, please entertain Mr. Jing for me."
The old gentleman was old and left with the support of his second son. Jing Gao chatted with Philip for a while and saw that he had no intention of requesting cooperation on the spot. He was very particular about his work, so he gave the wine glass to the messenger and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
At this time, Guo Lingyu came over with Guo Siyue. Guo Siyue is a beautiful woman in her forties, and her charm is still there. He looks like he is in his early thirties. Wearing a lavender dress, she has a slender and graceful figure, with a quiet and luxurious temperament.
"Hello, Mr. Jing." Guo Siyue reached out and shook hands with Jing Gao. She looked at the young man in front of her with a pair of wonderful eyes and said with a half-smile: "I want to talk to Mr. Jing about the conditions for the peace talks of the Galaxy Group. Mr. Jing Do you have time?"
Jing Gao was noncommittal and looked at Guo Lingyu, who was about ten years younger than her, with bright eyes and white teeth.
Guo Lingyu stood firm and explained with a chuckle: "Mr. Jing, I acquired some companies during this period and had a conflict with my aunt. Therefore, she wants to talk to you face to face."
Jing Gao understood clearly, made a gesture, and went to a small viewing room next to Guo Siyue and Guo Lingyu. After all, this is the top of the mountain. In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you can clearly see the bright night view of Victoria Harbor.
Guo Siyue and Guo Lingyu stood beside Jing Gao, one on the left and one on the right. The azure sea is dark and indescribably dark in the cold night, full of the loneliness of winter. People can't help but feel the ups and downs and changes of this island city.
Jing Gao put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "President Guo, this is not a question of whether I am willing to negotiate peace. It is that President Ren and his son will not negotiate peace with me at all. This involves the issue of inheritance rights."
Guo Siyue's eyes were very spiritual, and the eyes of a woman in her forties had the wisdom and charm that had gone through many vicissitudes of life. She laughed and said insistently: "Oh, Mr. Jing, you and Mr. Ren lack the necessary trust. Let's talk about it first.
I joined Galaxy Group fifteen years ago and rose to the positions of executive director and president. I am basically in charge of Galaxy Group’s overseas business. Therefore, you don’t have to doubt my influence on Mr. Ren and within the Galaxy Group. "
Guo Lingyu nodded to Jing Gao. In fact, her aunt had more crucial things she didn't say. Mr. Ren had an ambiguous relationship with her aunt back then. Her aunt's influence on Mr. Ren is several levels higher than An Xiaoqian of Haiyi Group.
Jing Gao felt the power of this beautiful woman, thought about it, and said calmly: "President Guo, I take back what I just said. In my heart, I am actually not willing to negotiate. After all, I can't do it anymore. Stop. My ultimate goal now is to disintegrate the Galaxy Group."
Guo Siyue looked at Jing Gao and felt Jing Gao's determination, and stopped asking for the reason. If you haven't experienced other people's difficulties, how can you easily persuade others to let go? Sighing softly, "
Fine. Mr. Jing, you are so candid that I am impressed. I hope you don't doubt lili's professional ethics. Galaxy Group is also where I have devoted my life. There's no way I'm going to give it up. "
Jing Gao felt Guo Siyue's "peace", recalled some old news, and suddenly realized that this was an extremely rare opportunity.
