Lu Yahua not only invited family members to witness the engagement ceremony today, but also invited some business friends. This is mainly to make the Shi family and Jing Gao feel that he is serious and serious about this engagement.
In the future, when the engagement is terminated, family members may help with the marriage, but business partners will not shy away from it and will definitely spread the word!
"Brother, congratulations."
"Oh, Lao Lu, congratulations."
"Mr. Lu, congratulations!"
Relatives and guests kept coming to the door of the banquet hall. Lu Yahua greeted friends and relatives from time to time, and greeted guests inside with a cheerful face.
Lu Guangdong was waiting at the door.
At this time, a burst of chatter and laughter came from the elevator entrance. Several middle-aged and elderly men were chatting and laughing together, followed by assistants or juniors. He seems to be the kind of person who has a successful career.
"Xiao Lu, congratulations!" The leader, an old man in his fifties, rich, fair, and of medium height, shook hands with Lu Yahua with a smile.
Lu Yahua quickly leaned over, held his hand with both hands, and said, "Mr. Lu, thank you very much for coming to Quanzi's engagement banquet."
Lu Gangyu has assets of over 100 million and is also involved in the foreign trade industry. He is a toy maker, and the most profitable thing about toys nowadays is of course foreign trade orders. Because the two of them had the same surname, Lu, they called him "eldest brother". Do things after others.
For example, if Lu Gangyu gets a contract with an importer somewhere in the United States, they will also benefit from some small orders from the second level of subcontracting. After all, the demand for foreign trade orders is diverse.
Lu Gangyu smiled and said: "Xiao Lu, what do you mean? You sent me the invitation, can I not come? Is this your son? A handsome young man!" After saying that, he asked his assistant to hand the red envelope to him. he.
"Thank you, uncle." Lu Guangdong said obediently.
Surrounding Lu Gangyu were all his business partners, businessmen of similar size to Lu Yahua, and they all sent red envelopes one after another.
Someone else joked: "Yahua, isn't your son still in college? Is it too hasty to get engaged now? How can we shortchange your share?"
"That's right! Yahua, didn't I make up for your order last time?"
Lu Yahua was unhappy, but he still led Lu Gangyu and others to the banquet hall with a smile on his face. If you are not as strong as others in the business world, it is normal for you to be teased and ridiculed by others. Money is hard to make and food is hard to eat. This is a famous quote!
The "mountain"-shaped banquet hall on the fifth floor of Blue Lake Wanda Hotel is medium in size. Currently, there are about seven or eight wine tables. The space is spacious and comfortable.
Lu Yahua led the business partners who came in to the second table on the left side of the main seat facing south. With Zuo as the respecter, he picked up a cigarette and lit it for Lu Gangyu. Lu Gangyu patted the back of Lu Yahua's hand with satisfaction. Xiao Lu still respected him very much. He was worthy of his care. Suddenly his eyes narrowed.
Lu Yahua then offered cigarettes to the other "business partners", and suddenly saw Lu Gangyu standing up and walking towards the main table. He felt a little confused, but in an instant he understood what was going on.
…
…
Lu Gangyu is fifty-six years old this year. Seeing Jing Gao, who is sitting tall and tall at the main table, his heart feels like he is shaking. The past events of more than two years ago came to mind.
Back then, in Rongcheng, a county town below Baoding, he and his friend Xie Wangzhen helped Jing Gao successfully acquire a textile company in Rongcheng. At the celebration banquet, Jing Gao invited him to serve as the executive director of Xia Shang Textile Group. His friend Xie Wangzhen suggested that he merge his textile industry directly into Xia Shang Textile Group, just like An Zhiwen, but he refused.
What he thought at the time was that he would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
However, looking at this decision two years later is simply stupid! What is An Zhiwen's current status? The CEO of Phoenix Group is respected wherever he goes. An Zhiwen is only thirty-six years old. A whole twenty years younger than him.
My friend Xie Wangzhen completely got rid of the textile industry in his hands, followed Jing Gao into the real estate industry, and helped Jing Gao manage Xia Shang Real Estate, which is currently listed on Hong Kong Island with a market value of HK$180 billion.
This market value has clearly demonstrated that Xia Shang Real Estate is a first-tier real estate giant in the country.
Counting real estate companies in Hong Kong stocks, Xia Shang Real Estate ranks seventh. The front ones are: Sun Hung Kai, Evergrande, Vanke, China Resources, and Country Garden. China Merchants Real Estate, Poly Real Estate, and Gemdale Group, among the traditional investment and insurance companies, as well as Sunac, founded by Lenovo's former gold medal sales, are all left behind by Xia Shang Real Estate.
Now he can hardly compare to his friends! So much so that he rarely meets Xie Wangzhen now. This is very common in business. If we are not on the same level, there is no way we can date together!
If he had agreed to Jing Gao's invitation at that time, if nothing else, he would at least have been the CEO of Xia Shang Textile Group, which has assets worth hundreds of billions. His personal net worth will not still be around 200 million. My friend Xie Wangzhen holds a small share of Xia Shang Real Estate and is now worth over 1 billion. Become one of the richest people in the country.
A net worth of 1 billion is a threshold!
However, is there any regret medicine in this world?
But he never thought that the world would be so wonderful. He came to attend the engagement banquet of the son of one of his "younger brothers" and met Jing Gao. This was really... such a blessing.
Lu Gangyu took two steps forward and said enthusiastically but steadily: "Mr. Jing, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Jing Gao looked at the slightly familiar old man in his fifties in front of him and couldn't remember his name for a while, but out of respect for others and prudentness, he still stood up with a smile.
Lu Gangyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at Jing Gao's slightly confused expression. More than two years have passed, and Mr. Jing no longer remembers his appearance. While extending his hand to shake Jing Gao's hand, he introduced himself: "
Mr. Jing, this is Lu Gangyu. I was having a drink with Xie Wangzhen a while ago, and I mentioned that Mr. Jing, you are now a rising star and your career is rising steadily. "
Jing Gao remembered it immediately. How could he forget the acquisition of Rongcheng? That was his first step in transforming capital into power. It was that small step that led to his current glory and power.
He shook hands with Lu Gangyu, patted the back of his hand, and said with emotion: "Old Lu, we haven't seen each other for more than two years, right? I didn't even recognize you! You look a little old! Sit down!"
At the main table, besides sister-in-law Jing Manni, uncles Shi Junzhi, Shi Yanjun, Jing Gao, Li Mengwei, and then there are Lu Guangdong, and his parents Lu Yahua and Xin Meiyu. Brother-in-law Lu Shixin and eldest aunt, second aunt, and younger aunt.
Lu Guangdong's aunt was young, only in her thirties. She looked like a beautiful woman. She whispered in a low voice: "Who is this? It's a random arrangement." Everyone at the table heard this, which was a clear expression of respect for Jing Gao. dissatisfied.
No matter what, it’s not Shi Yanjun’s cousin’s turn to point fingers at this engagement banquet, right? Do you still respect the Lu family?
Lu Yahua was still socializing and smoking at the next table and didn't follow him in time.
Lu Shixuan shook a little, the water in the tea cup in his hand was rippling, and he almost wanted to get up and cover the little girl's mouth, winking crazily. Little sister, you are crazy! This is Mr. Lu who even the eldest brother will support. He has a net worth of one to two hundred million!
This society has little regard for other people's net worth of 100 or 200 million. At first glance, the numbers don't seem very rich, but only when such a rich man appears in your life, you will have a profound understanding.
From the comparison of all aspects of life, such as where you live, where your children go to school, the car you drive, the nanny, etc., you know that their quality of life is higher than yours.
And this Mr. Lu treats Shi Yanjun's cousin with such respect, one by one Mr. Jing. What kind of identity does this cousin have? What does it mean for him to arrange a seat?
"Mr. Jing, thank you! Thank you!" Lu Gangyu was moved in his heart. He was a veteran of the Jianghu industry and had been involved in the business world for many years. When he heard it, he knew that Mr. Jing sincerely invited him to sit down and have a chat. He was as friendly to him as an old acquaintance, but he You can’t be ignorant! This is Mr. Jing's cousin's engagement banquet. What does it mean for him to sit at the main table as an outsider?
"Mr. Jing, I won't sit down anymore. I'm here to congratulate the two newcomers today, so I can't overwhelm you. I'll toast you later."
Jing Gao smiled and nodded, "Okay. Save some wine. I'll treat you to a couple of drinks after the party ends."
"Okay!" Lu Gangyu left with a smile on his face.
Li Mengwei smiled and shook Jing Gao's hand under the table. She didn't care how prestigious Jing Gao was in the outside business world, because Jing Gao rarely attended any formal social occasions, and she, as his girlfriend and fiancée, did not participate in any activities together. So it is rare to see him being respected and feeling his power outside. I didn’t expect to see it today!
The table was full of people. Lu Shixin used WeChat on his mobile phone to briefly explain the situation to his little sister, "Little sister, Mr. Lu is in the textile and clothing business. The export orders of the toy factory of the elder brother depend on him. The business of the elder brother who came today Among our partners, Mr. Lu is the most important. Don't talk nonsense."
Aunt Lu was not stupid and she reacted quickly. Mr. Lu, who has the same surname, respects Shi Yanjun's cousin so much, what does that mean? She suddenly felt a little restless. He glanced at Jing Gao covertly, wanting to apologize but not knowing how to say it. If Jing Gao's female companion was not so beautiful, maybe she could rely on her status as an aunt and a beautiful woman to round out her words with half truths and half lies. Now, I'm afraid I can only mention it after the banquet is over and take the opportunity of toasting.
The second brother did the same and didn't remind her earlier.
If Lu Shixin knew that his younger sister was complaining about him so much, he would probably be aggrieved. How did he know that the "Mr. Jing" whom his eldest brother casually asked him to entertain had such a big background. Isn't he the cousin of his nephew's wife Shi Yanjun? result…
His intestines are almost broken now. Just now when he was handing over the cigarette, he clearly expressed his displeasure at Jing Gao's refusal to take the cigarette. And gave him a sideways glance. This is really fatal.
…
…
A small episode passed quickly, and the invited emcee announced the start of the engagement ceremony. Two young men, Shi Yanjun and Lu Guangdong, came to the stage to exchange engagement rings in front of cameras and everyone in the presence of their parents.
Each made a speech again, and then the banquet started.
