Chapter 993 The Ship King’s Final Song 2
When she heard that her son did not force her and her daughter-in-law to participate, she immediately understood what he meant. She should be worried about her; it is not a secret in the whole of Hong Kong that the richest mother, Li Yulin, does not like to go out to participate in various activities. In addition, the last time he was ill, it was also known to everyone in Xiangjiang. No one would complain. As a newlywed wife, it was understandable that Zhang Youran would not participate. And moving around more often is better than anything else.
When she heard that her husband didn't ask her to participate, Zhang Youran didn't say anything. Although she still doesn't understand, she still doesn't have the final say in matters at home.
Bao Zixuan didn't explain too much. Some things had to be understood by oneself.
June 15, 1984, Xiangjiang Funeral Home.
Heung Kong Funeral Parlor, commonly known as Heung Kong Hotel, is the only funeral parlor on Xiangjiang Island, located at the junction of King's Road and Java Road in North Point. Its history began in the 1930s. Like the Kowloon Funeral Parlor in Tai Kok Tsui, Kowloon, it was managed by Siu Ming and his family, known as the funeral king. Initially, it only operated in a simple bamboo shed built on Wan Chai Road. It moved to its current location in 2001 and continues to operate the newly built Heung Kong Funeral Home in North Point. Heung Kong Funeral Parlor charges higher fees, but the transportation is convenient, and many celebrities and wealthy people live in Hong Kong Island, so it has become the first choice for funerals of celebrities and wealthy people in the city.
As the founder and manager of a funeral home, Xiao Ming did not dare to neglect. Because he knew what would happen today. The fall of a generation of shipping kings would have a great impact all over the world. After the richest man Bao Zixuan learned the news, he put down his British business and came back immediately.
With the vigorous publicity by the British, people in Xiangjiang knew that Bao Zixuan had invested in the UK. And there are three projects at once. The projects have just been launched now, so it is definitely the busiest time. It is said that Bao Zixuan has a good relationship with the Dong family, but now it seems that what they said is true.
Mr. Dong has always been kind to others and has basically never offended anyone. There must be many people coming to pay homage, most of them are celebrities. There will inevitably be a lot of reporters here, seeing so many business tycoons at once. Opportunities like this don't come around all the time. If someone has a problem with the Xiangjiang Funeral Home today, it's unclear whether the business can continue in the future.
As a supporter, Bao Zixuan must arrive first, so he rushed over early in the morning. When I arrived, I realized that I was not the first one to arrive.
Huo Yingdong and Hu Yingxiang actually arrived earlier than him, which shows that they have a deep friendship with Mr. Dong. This is not a simple superficial job. If you don't come and go, it will be useless to come here in the morning. Of course, given their identities and status, they really don't bother to do superficial work.
Last time I was in China, I was very embarrassed. Huo Yingdong felt a little embarrassed when he saw Bao Zixuan. But all the unhappiness today cannot be shown. The main task is to send Mr. Dong off for the last time.
As for Hu Yingxiang, it doesn't matter, and I don't know the specific situation. I just heard that Bao Zixuan was in trouble in China, but it was hard to ask more about the specific reasons.
I definitely had to come up and say hello when I saw him today. At least there was no conflict between him and Mr. Bao. In addition, we both have backgrounds in studying at prestigious American universities, so we can still talk about many things.
Hu Yingxiang: "We haven't seen you for a long time, little Baosheng, but you are constantly creating surprises for us. The money invested in the UK in the past was more than our entire net worth, which is really admirable."
Bao Zixuan knew that Hu Yingxiang had been keeping an eye on the Humen Bridge. This has also affected my own business to a certain extent, and I am a little embarrassed about this matter. After all, it was with his support that the Humen Bridge was built ahead of schedule. Moreover, Heiyun Group is the largest shareholder of Expressway and Bridge. Now it is somewhat unjustifiable to ask Hu Yingxiang to run forward and backward.
Bao Zixuan: "The Humen Bridge and the highway connecting Shenhai and Yangcheng were built very quickly. The progress of the project was much faster than expected; the quality is even more remarkable. These are all the contributions of Hu Sheng. So don't laugh at me, Hu Sheng’s investment in the UK will definitely feel like nothing in the future.”
Mr. Dong passed away, probably in Xiangjiang, and Hu Yingxiang was one of the few friends. Cherishing is one thing, and more two people can form a good complement to each other.
Bao Zixuan studied mechanical manufacturing and aviation power, and has a deep foundation in the computer field. Hu Yingxiang studied civil engineering, and his majors are in housing construction and bridge design. There must be great potential in the Middle East, and Fucairah must be vigorously developed. After all, Salad has been promised, so it must be done.
Hu Yingxiang: "Everything Xiaobaosheng said was that the mainland workers are very efficient and never give in to difficulties, let alone complain about hardship and tiredness. I have never seen such hard-working and hard-working workers in the industry for decades. I believe that mainland China will definitely be able to develop."
After saying this, Huo Yingdong sounded very happy. Hu Yingxiang is an alternative among the wealthy people in Hong Kong. He comes from a well-established family, and he is highly educated and capable. I dated them before, although they seemed very harmonious. But I still don't understand many aspects. After all, the education I received is too different.
It wasn't until Bao Zixuan appeared that the situation changed; the two had a lot in common. They both have backgrounds in science and engineering, so there is really no obstacle to cooperation.
Bao Zixuan: "When Mr. Dong's funeral is over, I don't know if Hu Sheng has time. Let's have a meal together and discuss anything with you."
Hu Yingxiang: "I'm afraid no one in Xiangjiang can refuse Xiao Baosheng's invitation. Just tell me in advance. I will stay in Xiangjiang for a while. Don't worry about the construction progress in the mainland. There is no need to go there for the time being."
Huo Yingdong knew that Bao Zixuan had problems with him. Inviting Hu Yingxiang without the Huo family is enough to explain the problem. But there are many things that can't be helped. After all, he and Bao Zixuan are very different.
Although Hu Yingxiang didn't know what to do with Bao Shaofu's invitation. But one thing he always firmly believed was that he would never suffer a loss. And judging from this, it must be a big business, and there must be very considerable profits and gains in the future.
In less than five minutes, people came one after another. All of their rooms are filled with spirit-supporting people, and only those with the tycoon level can enter.
The chartered boat king, Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, and He Hongsheng walked into the room respectively. Although they had some conflicts with Zheng Yutong and the chartered boat king, today was the day of Mr. Dong's funeral, and no one could make trouble.
Moreover, they are all people with status, so it is impossible for them to start fighting each other just after meeting.
He Hongsheng's main industry and business are in the gambling city, and he doesn't have many interactions with other people. At most, he would have more contacts with Huo Yingdong. After all, the two families are in a cooperative relationship.
No conflict of interest means peace and quiet...
Although the current occasion is inappropriate, it doesn't matter much. No one can live in sadness all the time, and many things cannot be taken too seriously. And when we are together, we always have to find something to talk about, and we can't just stand around.
When it comes to marrying a wife, no one present is a match for He Hongsheng. But for his original wife, he will still give him due respect and care. He can be considered a man if he is romantic but not vulgar.
Huo Yingdong was the first to speak: "My wife has been saying that she hasn't seen Mrs. He for a long time and we just wanted to go over and get together."
After Huo Yingdong expressed his stance, others expressed that there was no problem.
In his previous life, Bao Zixuan also knew about He Hongsheng's first wife. She was the most beautiful woman in the casino back then, and she was definitely a famous person.
Li Wanhua married He Hongsheng in 1942 and gave birth to a son and three daughters. In the first year after marriage, He Chenggong earned his first pot of gold, one million, paving the way for him to become the overlord of the gambling world in the future. In 1957, Lai Wan-wa suddenly suffered from colitis, which could not be cured even after seeking famous doctors. In addition, it caused other complications, so she had to have her stomach removed. She took medicine for a long time and could only eat liquid food. Her weight dropped from 115 pounds (about 52 kilograms). to 70 lbs (approximately 31 kg).
According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the gambling king at that time asked for an extra wife, namely his second wife Lan Qiongying. He once said in the book: "I can't be a monk for the rest of my life. Besides, I already had a big family and a very busy job. I had a lot of various entertainments. I needed a woman to take care of the housework and accompany me from time to time."
In 1973, Li Wanhua was involved in a car accident in Portugal. Her brain was severely injured and she was in a coma for a whole month. Her health condition became even worse. The third daughter Chaoxian recalled: "When my mother woke up, she had lost most of her memory. She couldn't eat for a long time and it was difficult to move."
Misfortunes never come singly, and this tragedy happened again to the only son Youguang and his daughter-in-law eight years later. In June 1981, the two had just finished dinner at their father He Hongsheng's residence in Lisbon, Portugal, when an accident occurred on their way back to their home. The gambling king was extremely sad, and Li Wanhua, who had always regarded his son as his lifeblood, suffered an even greater blow.
Bao Zixuan was thinking when he suddenly saw everyone looking at him and said quickly: "No problem, I will be there on time."
In fact, the richest man Bao was just thinking about what he would do if Zhang Youran had a similar problem. The result will definitely be the same as He Sheng, they are both men, everyone can understand.
