Chapter 353 Different moods
Different from the small stone building of the Hung family, the Hung family house is a branch of the family house in Hong Kong.
This year's New Year's Eve was extremely unhappy.
For no other reason than something happened to Hong Yanxiong.
I have a pity for this kid. I dated a young movie star some time ago and ended up getting pregnant.
It doesn't matter, it's not the first time, it's probably something that can be wiped out with a few bucks.
But the problem is that in order to compete for this little star, Hong Yanxiong injured a film director.
What was even more unexpected was that a film this director had just taken on was actually used to launder money for two brothers from the Chinese family who had just entered the film industry and had a social background.
As a result, just after New Year's Day, Hong Yanxiong suffered revenge.
Not only was he sent to the hospital, but he was also threatened and extorted huge compensation by the two brothers from the Hua family.
Thanks to Hong Fucheng and the fathers of the Hua brothers.
They all used to be "dirty workers" under Mao Renfeng, and they were still in love.
Hong Fucheng asked "Big Brother"'s father to speak, and then the big issue became a trivial one.
In the end, the Hong family settled the matter by paying 200,000 yuan to the director to recover from his injuries.
But the problem is that somehow the "paparazzi" found out about this incident and published it in the newspapers to publicize it.
In this way, the Hong family's face still fell to the ground.
Moreover, on New Year's Day, Hong Yanxiong was still lying in the hospital unable to move.
Needless to say, facing the third wife Huang Wanyu who was sighing and looking sad throughout the table.
I heard the second wife He Peizhi and her daughter Hong Xinyi constantly fanning the flames.
Complaining that Hong Yankang, as the eldest son, didn’t know how to come back during the Chinese New Year and left the family in a mess.
It would be strange for Hong Fucheng to feel happy.
Therefore, the old man couldn't bear the sumptuous banquet this year.
After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner hastily, I didn’t even want to play mahjong.
I hid in the cigar room in the basement alone to try to be quiet.
But purity means purity. Don’t forget what kind of day this is?
Even with a cigar in his mouth and fragrant cognac in his hand, Hong Fucheng still felt an empty sense of loss in his heart.
He smoked a cigar and sat alone for a while, feeling increasingly bored and anxious.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered several video tapes that his eldest son, Hong Yankang, had sent him years ago.
It is said to be the TV series "Four Generations Under One Roof" that was just shot in the Mainland.
The actors performed very well, and the dialogue, dressing up, and feeling are all exactly the same as those in Peiping back then.
So he looked for it to see if that was what happened.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I took out a disc and started playing it, I suddenly heard my old song from the TV.
It turns out that although Hong Yanwu originally helped Yu Wanyu find the role, it didn't work out.
But he didn't run away in vain.
It is this kid's habit to hug grass and hunt rabbits.
He also used 10,000 yuan in sponsorship fees to exchange with the director for an opportunity to place an advertisement.
According to the plot, after the Japanese soldiers entered the city, Xiao Cui, the driver of the rickshaw, ran back to the "Little Sheep Circle" alley.
Unexpectedly, he met Qi Ruixuan who was going to school.
Xiao Cui tried his best to dissuade the Qi family boss from going out.
It was precisely this episode that revealed the chaos in Peking, so the director slightly changed the dialogue.
This is what Xiao Cui said as he wiped his sweat from the scene being played out on the TV.
"Mr. Qi, please don't go out. There is chaos in the market. You don't know that even the 'Yanmei Building' and 'Yanmei Zhai' were smashed by the Japanese soldiers, and the Hong family's old boss was also arrested. That's all.
Because people take the initiative to take the initiative and are unwilling to open to serve them..."
As a result, Hong Fucheng was stunned by this sentence.
Maybe it’s because this special time makes people prone to overflowing with emotions, or maybe it’s because people’s nerves become extra sensitive as they get older.
His hands shook, and his thoughts drifted completely involuntarily to the far north, to the time and space decades ago...
This is what happens in the world, the same rice can feed all kinds of people.
There are patriotic businessmen like Hong Xiaoru in our country who would rather lose money and make a profit than become a slave to the country's subjugation.
There can also be people like Hong Yanwu who do not hesitate to use crooked ways to bring glory to the country.
But it is also an objective fact that good things vary from bad to bad.
Brothers like Hong Fucheng and Hong Lucheng still live differently.
Of course, not all Chinese people can direct their energy in one place.
Far away in Paris, France, Zhou Manna was chatting and laughing happily at a reception, attracting a lot of handsome foreign guys. She was such an alternative.
While foreigners like these explain traditional Spring Festival customs and folklore.
She also went out of her way to describe the sadness and pitifulness of Chinese people sitting in a well and looking at the sky, clinging to incompleteness.
And he does not hesitate to exaggerate the progress, prosperity and values of the Western world with enviable words.
But she didn't know that the parts of her words that those blondes and blue eyes were most interested in were often the things she despised.
Two Americans were quite touched after hearing her words.
After the conversation dispersed, they had the following discussion in private.
"What do you think, Mr. Lane?"
"Well, I'm very inspired. I think I understand a little bit why our subsidiary has difficulty in carrying out its work in China and is running into obstacles. People in this country don't like to be too direct. They like to talk in circles. They don't understand the market and business. Personally
He is very selfish and does not pay attention to the law, so there are many loopholes that can be exploited."
"Haha, this is the point. Moreover, their companies listen to officials and are not too keen on real interests. Isn't this the best thing? You should adjust the business strategy of the Huaxia subsidiary in Beijing and don't let them
Their energy is being put in unnecessary directions, they should learn to give gifts and learn to focus on flattering officials."
"you mean?"
"Whatever their officials want, we will agree to it, as long as we make them happy. Because whether the Chinese people can really get it depends on the contract. There is a lot we can do in this regard. The worst we can do is give the GDP to
We take away all their profits."
"Haha, that's true. Karl, I think you have found the key trick. I think we will definitely not get nothing again this year. By the way, what is the name of the company that Logan is interested in? It has sufficient market share in the capital.
The one that leads me."
"It's called Yili. Their food business has a lot of overlap with our Nabex Food Company. If we can use it as a breakthrough and merge it, we will own half of the market in Beijing. We can even successfully extend our business to the entire North China region.
.You know, although China’s economic level is very low, biscuits are still affordable. This is a very lucrative market.”
"Well, you're right. Since it's so important, I think it's better to explain it to the group's board of directors in person without further delay. You'd better leave for the capital tomorrow. Didn't that girl say that the Lunar New Year is a
It's a good opportunity to give gifts. I think we shouldn't miss this opportunity and be Santa Claus who comes to visit them. As you said, we will agree to whatever they want."
"Okay, I've always wanted to try roast duck. Logan praised it as being like food in heaven..."
"Karl, don't let me down. Focus on doing this well first, don't just enjoy it. As long as we can successfully achieve profit growth and define this market, I will gain the support of the board of directors and get more power. To
When the time comes, I can let you live in heaven every day, and maybe Logan's seat will be yours."
"I understand, boss, please don't worry."
"Hey, by the way, are you familiar with the girl just now? Do you think we can hire her? She seems to be very capable in China, and she may be able to help us a lot."
"Well, I have to say, Mr. Lane, this is not a good idea. You are right, she has an unusual background and is considered a noble of the Republic. But the problem is, precisely because of this, she can easily get into trouble.
People. Someone told me that she had seen people from the CIA around her. We are businessmen. There is no need to get involved in such trouble..."
