Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1018: 1003 [Returning to One’s Ancestors]

"Grandson, my dear grandson is coming back! Hurry up, everyone, get ready to welcome our little master back!"

Du's Mansion——
Dad Du Dapao was very proud and yelled at the servants.

Now the entire Du family is considered a large family with great wealth and power. In addition to Du Yongxiao's branch, there are also Du Yongshun and Du Yongmei's branches.

After Du Yongshun and his girlfriend Chunli failed in their business venture, they were finally persuaded by their mother Li Cuilian to return to the Du family.

In addition, Dad Du Dapao invested money to allow Du Yongshun and Chunli to invest in "Shunfeng Express" founded by Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongshun worked at the dock and his friends were all people from the city, so SF Express was a perfect fit for him.

Chunli is an ambitious woman, but her ambition has caused her to fail several times in her business ventures. After her setbacks, she realized that she was not a "business genius" and was nothing compared to Du Yongxiao. To be precise, if it weren't for the help of her boyfriend Du Yongshun's elder brother Du Yongxiao, she would not even have the chance to start a business.

Now she is aware of her own abilities and no longer forces things. She has also accepted the fact that her future husband Du Yongshun may be mentally handicapped but has a good heart, and plans to live a stable life as the young lady of the Du family.

Everything is moving towards the bright side.

Now even better news has come. Jiang Ling'er has given up the custody of her son and plans to let Xiao Tangyuan go home. This is simply great news.

Dad Du Dapao and Mom Li Cuilian almost cried with joy when they heard the news.

The old couple hugged each other and almost cried at night.

For Du Dapao, there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst of them is to have no descendants.

Du Yongxiao is his eldest son, but he has not yet married, let alone having grandchildren. This makes Du Dapao very depressed. Every time he worships the ancestral tablets, he feels that his ancestors are secretly giving him the "middle finger".

Mother Li Cuilian felt even more guilty, thinking that it was because she had not taught him well enough and did not discipline him strictly enough, so Du Yongxiao was still not married at such an age and had no grandchild yet.

it's good now!

A big grandson fell from the sky!

Little glutinous rice balls, little glutinous rice balls!
The old couple didn’t know how many times they had dreamed about this and cried.

When they heard that Jiang Ling'er had run away to Thailand with him, Du Dapao and Li Cuilian almost forced Du Yongxiao to chase her to Thailand and bring their grandson back.

Unfortunately, Du Yongxiao is not very capable.

I simply ignored the old couple's feelings and did not chase them to Thailand.

As a result, Du Dapao and Li Cuilian were in a cold war with their beloved son Du Yongxiao for more than half a year.

Du Yongxiao was afraid of being scolded, so no matter whether he lived at home, in the official residence, or on the Peak.

Now, Du Yongxiao has returned with his son Xiao Tangyuan in a majestic manner, wanting the child to "return to his roots."

This happy event almost made the old couple Du Dapao cry with excitement.

They arranged for servants to prepare various ceremonies, offer sacrifices to the ancestral tablets, and arrange incense, candles, fruits, three kinds of meat, roasted suckling pig, etc.

He also gave red envelopes to the servants, saying that today was a happy day and that everyone should celebrate together, and gave each servant a red envelope of 1,000 yuan!
The thirty-five servants happily said "a house full of children and grandchildren" and "rich and healthy".

Du Yongxiao hadn't returned yet, but Du Dapao had already put on a brand new red jacket, dressed like a groom, and was waiting at the gate to greet his little grandson.

Du Dapao was directing the scene at the gate. Li Cuilian was not idle either. She instructed the maids inside, "Go and make some more delicious food! My grandson is still young. A baby who is still breastfeeding is easy to take care of. You just need to make some golden silkworm soup with thousand-year-old ginseng, stewed old hen with cordyceps, steamed bird's nest with willow branches, slow-cooked hericium with shark fin, etc. Don't make it too much trouble. I don't know how my precious grandson's appetite is, but you have to let him eat a little. This is his first time eating at home. You have to find out his appetite so that you can keep him fat and white in the future..."

Li Cuilian's series of instructions completely confused the maids.

"Wow, this young master is so lucky!"

"Yeah, there are so many delicious menus available before we even meet anyone!"

"It's a good reincarnation, there's nothing we can do about it! This one dish is our monthly salary!"

"Be content, the master and his wife have treated us well. This is the first time we welcome the young master back. Everyone, please be careful!"

Towards evening——
The huge Du family’s house was decorated with lights and colors, and the glittering facade of the Du family could be seen from a distance.

Upon hearing this, the wealthy neighbors came to congratulate them with valuable gifts.

The first to arrive was Kowloon Bus tycoon Lei Juekun, who held a pair of jade ruyi, which means "everything goes well and everything is perfect."

With such good meaning, Du Dapao and Li Cuilian of course accepted it.

What's more, in this "10 billion battle" Lei Juekun firmly stood on the side of Du Yongxiao. He chose the right side and it was timely. Du Yongxiao won the victory and became the most powerful person in Hong Kong, the real emperor of Hong Kong. Lei Juekun now has to be more worldly-wise.

The second person who came after hearing the news was the "garment king" Lin Baixin, who was also Du Yongxiao's good comrade in investing in Africa.

In this 10 billion battle, Lin Baixin also expressed his firm support for Du Yongxiao.

Now that the dust has settled, Du Yongxiao has become the ultimate king, dominating Hong Kong. Lin Baixin took this opportunity to come and congratulate him, and by the way, reorganize the relationship they had established before to avoid any unfamiliarity.

The gift that Lin Baixin brought this time was an antique "Pearl Shirt", which is the treasure of Lin Baixin's collection.

After he obtained this treasure, he started to make a fortune by making clothes. It can be said that this "pearl shirt" is of great significance to him.

It is said that this pearl shirt once appeared in the ancient and modern novel "Sanyan Liangpai" "Yu Shi Ming Yan", and the title was called "Jiang Xingge Reunites with the Pearl Shirt".

In other words, this "Pearl Shirt" is a real treasure from the Ming Dynasty.

This time, Lin Baixin took the risk and directly took out the heirloom and gave it to the Du family, which shows how much he values ​​this "friendship".

Du Dapao and Li Cuilian did not expect Lin Baixin to give them such a valuable gift. They wanted to decline, but Lin Baixin stopped them and said, "Ah Xiao and I are as close as brothers!"

Looking at this wealthy man with gray hair, who is ten years older than him and is now in his fifties, but is as close as a brother to his son, Du Dapao didn't know what to say.

Such hospitality,

I can only accept it.

As Lei Juekun and Lin Baixin arrived one after another, other bigwigs were not willing to be left behind and came to congratulate them one after another. The scene was so crowded that the door was packed with people.

The third person to come and congratulate was the eldest son of the Huo family, Huo Zhenting.

Young Master Huo and Du Yongxiao are truly "as close as brothers".

His coming is both appropriate and necessary.

As everyone knows, the entire Huo family is behind Mr. Huo, and the Huo family is a well-known "red aristocracy" in Hong Kong.

Now they not only have the support from the mainland, but the British Hong Kong government has also relaxed its suppression of them, so the future is promising. But even such a big family has to take the initiative to make friends with Du Yongxiao.

the reason is simple---
Du Yongxiao is now truly the number one person in Hong Kong.

There is no chance to create opportunities to make friends with him.

If there is a chance, I will certainly take the initiative to renew my friendship with Du Yongxiao.

As for Mr. Huo, he didn't think so much.

Although he came here on behalf of the Huo family this time, it was more of a personal relationship, since he is Du Yongxiao's nominal "big brother".

Du Yongxiao called him "big brother" more than once.

The relationship between the two is extremely close.

Especially on the eve of this 10 billion dollar war, everyone was pessimistic about Du Yongxiao, believing that Du Yongxiao would be vulnerable to the anti-Du alliance and would undoubtedly fail.

Even the entire Hong Kong business community is collectively speaking ill of Du Yongxiao.

No one was willing to help Du Yongxiao, for fear that the money would be wasted.

Only Mr. Huo insisted on taking out 300 million to support Du Yongxiao without his family's knowledge.

Three hundred million!

The value of this money is no less than the friendship between Du Yongxiao and his young master Huo!

It also made Du Yongxiao fully realize the loyalty of Brother Huo.

Although Du Yongxiao did not accept the money in the end, he kept this friendship firmly in his heart. The Huo family and Mr. Huo are his lifelong debt of favor!
So this time when Young Master Huo came to congratulate Du Yongxiao, he did not bring any expensive gifts, but just a simple painting and calligraphy, and this painting and calligraphy was written by his father, Mr. Huo Yingdong.
The painting is very simple, a picture of lotus leaves with several large and small fish swimming around underneath the leaves. With just a few strokes, it is vivid and interesting.

Next to it is "Han Yuefu Jiangnan" written by Huo Da Lao in calligraphy: "Lotus can be picked in Jiangnan, the lotus leaves are so lush, and fish play among the lotus leaves. Fish play on the lotus leaves in the east, fish play on the lotus leaves in the west, fish play on the lotus leaves in the south, fish play on the lotus leaves in the north..."

The whole painting is so simple, but people with a little knowledge know the meaning of this painting: "Enjoying the joy of being in the family, with children and grandchildren around the knees."

Du Dapao and Li Cuilian are both not very educated people, but that does not prevent them from liking this painting very much. What's more, there are many highly educated people around them who will take the initiative to explain the meaning of this painting to them.

After understanding the meaning of the painting, Du Dapao and Li Cuilian were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They felt that this painting was better than any gift.

The Du family has everything they need now. They have jade ruyi and pearl shirts, but those are all material possessions and money. They have everything they need. The only thing they lack is a grandson. No, they lack many, many grandsons and granddaughters!

With the appearance of Mr. Huo, other big bosses and wealthy people in Hong Kong came on the scene one after another. This time, Qiu Degen, the boss of Far Eastern Bank, who had received favors from Du Yongxiao and asked Du Yongxiao to "repay evil with kindness", came with a valuable gift.

Li Zhaofu of Far East Securities, who had "turned hostility into friendship" with Du Yongxiao and was spared by Du Yongxiao, came with valuable gifts.

Shaw Brothers Film Company boss and cinema tycoon Run Run Shaw and his close lover Mona Fong came with valuable gifts.

Jewelry tycoon Zheng Yutong, century shipping king Bao Yugang, shipping giant Xu Aizhou, Cao Wenjin, Mr. Dong and others all came to congratulate with valuable gifts.

This scene shocked Hong Kong and was comparable to any film, television or commercial celebration.

Bigwigs and tycoons arrived one after another like they were walking on a red carpet, and media reporters who heard the news rushed to report on the event, turning tonight into a day of celebration for the whole world.

At the gate of Du's mansion——
Reporter interview-——
"Hello Mr. Zheng Yutong, I am a TVB reporter! How do you feel now?"

"I'm very excited now! Mr. Du and I hit it off right away and have become close friends! Now the Du family has an eldest son and grandson, I'm happy for him and the Du family! This is a happy day, I hope everyone can give it some space and not report it recklessly! Thank you!"

"Hello, Mr. Xu Aizhou! What do you think about what happened to the Du family today?"

"Well, although Mr. Du and I are not very familiar with each other, we are both directors of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and we are both Chinese. We often help each other! As for the opinions, this is of course a great joy. We Chinese have always valued branching out and flourishing, haha! So today is really a great joy! Excuse me, I have to go in!"

"Excuse me, Mr. Dong, are you here to celebrate the Du family's big event today as well?"

"Of course, as the Chairman of the Hong Kong Shipping Association, I have worked with Mr. Du Yongxiao in many aspects. I admire him very much! The most important thing is... this should be a time for universal celebration. After all, the Du Group has a successor!"

"Wow, Mr. Dong, your last sentence is very meaningful. Can we understand it this way? The future successor of the Du Group has been determined?"

"How you interpret it is your business. I'm going in now. Excuse me, please make way!"

Those media reporters were still blocking the door, hoping to interview more business tycoons.

In fact, in addition to those business tycoons who have cooperated with the Du Group, some political bigwigs also came after hearing the news.

First of all, the police, with high-ranking foreigners coming together, used to be dismissive of this kind of Chinese tradition, but now that their "boss" Du Yongxiao's family is having a wedding, of course they, their subordinates, have to come to celebrate, as the more gifts the better.

Next came some Legislative Council members, some Justices of the Peace, and bigwigs from various departments including the Urban Planning Agency, the Taxation Bureau, and the Environmental Protection Bureau.

What was surprising was that Sir Baili Qu, the big boss of the Justice Bureau, also came!
As everyone knows, Du Yongxiao and Baili Qu are sworn enemies, and no one expected that this foreigner would show up uninvited.

Only those who knew the inside story knew that the Justice Bureau boss, Baili Qu, had already joined Du Yongxiao. It seemed that Mr. Du had caught him by the tail. Anyway, the two of them had made peace with each other...

The appearance of Baili Qu brought the scene to a climax.

The Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, sent his secretary from the Governor's Office to celebrate, which heated up the whole scene.

"Oh my God, the Governor's Office has sent someone!"

"The Du family is so prestigious!"

There was a sensation among the crowd.

The media reporters were extremely shocked!

He stared at everything in front of him with wide eyes, looking at it in disbelief.

Originally, the grandson of the Du family "returned to his ancestral home" today. This was a private matter of the Du family, and there was no need for the Governor's Office to come and congratulate them.

But Murray MacLehose took the initiative to send his personal secretary over. What does this mean?
This shows that Du Yongxiao's status and position cannot be ignored by the Governor's Office!

It can even be said that the Hong Kong Governor's Office is actively "fawning" on Du Yongxiao!

This is not an exaggeration.

Judging from Du Yongxiao's current strength in all aspects, he really has the power to make the Hong Kong Governor's Office dare not underestimate him.

Just when the scene was full of surprises--
Du Yongxiao returned by car holding little Tangyuan!
moment--
Firecrackers are blasting!

Du Family——
boiling!
