Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 134 [World Ship King]

Under the leadership of the waiter, Lin Rongheng and Zhang Lan walked into the banquet hall tonight. At this time, Lin Ronghe had already prepared in his heart that he was just a newcomer in the upper class of Xiangjiang, and no one would take the initiative to talk to him, but he Now I don't need to learn from before, like to attack everywhere to win connections; now I just need to grow up slowly, and soon I can become a tycoon in Xiangjiang.

However, Lin Rongheng underestimated his own influence too much. He dared to walk into the banquet hall, and saw HSBC Bank Sanders, Shen Bi, Bao Yugang and his wife came forward to say hello.

Shen Bi took the initiative to introduce Lin Rongheng to the Sanders couple and Bao Yugang couple, and greatly praised Lin Rongheng's career.

"This is Mr. Lin Rongheng! He is also the chairman of the board of directors of two group companies, Evergrande Real Estate and Modern Media, and also has a retail company with great potential; Mr. Lin, this is"

After some introduction, Bao Yugang praised: "What a young man! When I was your age, I was just an ordinary bank employee. I am old!"

Lin Rongheng said with a smile: "You are already the 'World Ship King', the guest of the leaders of various countries; and I have not even stepped out of Xiangjiang River, so it can be compared there!"

At this time, Bao Yugang has not yet been discovered by the world media, but his ships already have as many ships as the two world ship kings, Onassis and Nigras; therefore, Lin Rongheng called him the "world ship king" and did not Not without reason.

When Bao Yu just saw Lin Rongheng calling himself the 'world ship king', he couldn't help but be taken aback. This young man's media company is so powerful; since Lin Rongheng speaks English, Sandas and Shen Bi couldn't help but look sideways. Of course HSBC knows How many ships did Bao Yugang have, but he didn't expect Lin Rongheng's media company to be so well informed.

While Lin Rongheng was chatting with Bao Yugang, Sandas, and Shen Bi, Zhang Lan also chatted with Bao Yugang's wife Huang Xiuying. As for those foreign ladies who can't speak Chinese, Zhang Lan and Huang Xiuying can't speak English either. We had to talk about each other.

Huang Xiuying exaggerated that Lan was very good at dressing, Zhang Lan introduced herself as the fashion host of "Modern Weekly", and the two chatted; however, soon several ladies walked up to Zhang Lan and asked cautiously: " Excuse me, are you Miss Zhang Lan?"

Zhang Lan was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect a noble lady to respect her so much today, she almost didn't shed tears immediately.

"Hi, ma'am, my name is Zhang Lan, and I'm a fashion host of "Modern Weekly". Today I came to the banquet with my boss!"

"Great, Ms. Zhang! I fell in love with your clothes when I read your magazine recently, but I couldn't find any similar styles. Can you let us know! Don't worry, we are all your loyal readers , I will subscribe to "Modern Weekly" every issue in the future."

All of a sudden, Mrs. Fu and Ms. Fu flocked to Zhang Lan, and Zhang Lan responded politely; because everyone knew that Zhang Lan was brought by Lin Rongheng, and they would not regard her as a small employee. The favor of the two big men.

At this time, Zhang Lan, while dealing with these rich wives and young ladies, also felt a kind of feeling in her heart, "The feeling brought by this kind of fame and power is really too much to stop!" '

After chatting with Bao Yugang for a few polite words, Lin Rongheng started a serious chat with Shen Bi.

"Mr. Lin, your convenience store chain is developing very well. It's only been a month, and you've already opened three stores. I heard that the business is very good!"

"Well, the business is really good, and it has brought a lot of convenience to the citizens, and everyone is very happy to have this convenience."

"It can be seen that this is a chain retailer that is rapidly occupying the market. How many stores does Mr. Lin plan to open this year?"

"Not necessarily. Generally speaking, this kind of convenience store will continue to open as long as there is a suitable location. It is estimated that there will be ten this year!"

"Very good! If Mr. Lin needs a loan, you can contact me. We at HSBC Bank are very optimistic about this retail method and are happy to provide you with a loan."

Although HSBC is willing to provide loans for 7-ELEVEn convenience stores, 7-ELEVEn convenience stores are already self-sufficient; after all, 7-ELEVEn convenience stores have invested a huge sum of 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and they can use the previous profits to develop The loan, plus the supplier's payment, generally requires a deposit of 1 to 2 months, and 7-ELEVEn convenience stores can fully cope with the next expansion.

After chatting for a while, everyone went back to their seats. When Lin Rongheng took Zhang Lan to find their seats, he couldn't help being taken aback, and found Xu Shixun and his wife at the same table.

"Xu Sheng, what a coincidence!"

Xu Shixun deliberately said: "You, Lin Rongheng, cling to the trend. I called you just now, but you didn't see it!"

The relationship between Xu Shixun and Lin Rongheng has become better than before since they were equal in status, so it's okay to joke around like this.

And Xu Shixun's wife, Xu Jianxingchun, quickly stabbed her husband, she thought he shouldn't be so reckless; in fact, although Xu Shixun also likes to play outside, he does respect his wife very much.

It can be said that the rich men in Xiangjiang have been more or less romantic, as long as they don't bring them home, it will be a good talk in later generations; after all, who knows how romantic these people were when they were young?
There are no paparazzi in this era, and no one dares to provoke these big shots, so naturally there will be no records.

Lin Rongheng quickly said: "Ah! I'm really sorry, Xu Sheng, we are old friends, you won't see outsiders!"

Xu Shixun said to his wife: "Our relationship is good! It's okay to joke with him!"

Lin Rongheng also said to Xu Jian Xingchun: "Xu Sheng is right. Thanks to Xu Sheng's promotion, I am where I am today!"

Xu Shixun patted Lin Rongheng on the shoulder, and then introduced Lin Rongheng to his deskmate. They were all bigwigs in Xiangjiang in this era. Of course, Lin Rongheng also knew the CEO of the Bank of East Asia, Li Fushu and his wife. They had worked together before.

After everyone was seated, Governor Dai Linzhi took the stage to speak very soon, in order to create momentum for her wife.

"Gentlemen and ladies, good evening! It is my honor to stand here and speak for this charity gala. The prosperity and development of Xiangjiang cannot be separated from the support of the United Kingdom and the Queen, and it is also inseparable from the joint efforts of people from all walks of life. Finally , I wish this charity dinner a complete success and provide more help to those in need in Xiangjiang, thank you!"

"clap clap"

There was thunderous applause. Under the queen's rule, don't underestimate the influence of the queen. It is said that the previous queen visited Hong Kong after the Sino-British negotiations.

After Dai Linzhi finished his speech, his wife, Margaret Gould, spoke again, mainly explaining that the money raised from the charity dinner will be used for the resettlement of refugees from over there.

Westerners have always paid attention to "hypocrisy", that is, I can pity you, sympathize with you, and give you alms, but you cannot be equal to me, and you cannot live as superior as mine.

"clap clap"

In any case, everyone will not be stingy with applause, and listen to whoever is under the rule. This principle cannot be simpler!
Soon, the dinner officially began. It was indeed a banquet at first, and the waiter brought western food and red wine.

In the middle of the meal, the host announced the official start of the charity auction.

I saw an energetic middle-aged British man in a suit and leather shoes walking up, wearing a pair of white gloves.

This British auctioneer, Lin Rongheng knows, because he participated in a government auction, he is the auctioneer; the auctioneer is called Hans, and he is an experienced auctioneer. The white gloves on his hands are a symbol of the auction. teacher's highest honor.

How great is the "white glove" in the auction house?

The highest honor for an auctioneer is to be awarded a "white glove". Being awarded a white glove is the highest honor for an auctioneer, and it marks a 100% turnover rate for an auction.

It also represents everyone's high recognition of you, so if the auctioneer gets "white gloves", it is the greatest recognition in this industry.

Of course, a pair of white gloves only symbolizes the 100% success rate of an auction, but Hans is said to have won the 'white gloves' from the organizer for 16 consecutive auctions, which shows his skill in the auction house.

As the winner of the "white gloves" - the auctioneer, his witty and rational performance on the field, as well as his performance like a pinnacle, all played a decisive role in the auction.

Since buyers and sellers are always a pair of contradictions, it is the special skill of the auctioneer to stimulate the willingness of bidders to bid well.A good auctioneer can not only communicate with bidders through their eyes, but also adjust the tense or depressed atmosphere on the field through changes in tone of voice.

Through ingenious control of the quotation, price increase, and hammer drop rhythm, the auctioneer may increase the price of the lot by several thousand yuan in a second. Participating in such an auction is like experiencing a competitive competition combining mental and physical strength. Exciting.

It is not surprising that an auctioneer like Hans can be invited to today's auction. After all, the governor is equivalent to a toubob in Xiangjiang.

Hans walked to the auctioneer's seat and said with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening everyone! I am Hans the auctioneer today, and I am very happy to participate in such a charity auction. I am here to announce a Question: That is my reward for tonight, which will be donated to the organizer of tonight’s party for charity.”
