Chapter 1146 The Most Dazzling Second Generation of the Family
A group of super-rich people who went to Huajing this time originally wanted to stay in Huajing for a few more days, but after more than a week, they hurried back to Xiangjiang.
the reason is simple.
On April 15th, Dong Haoyuan, the world's number one shipping king, who was terminally ill, passed away. All his relatives and friends came to pay their respects.
Even if they are not relatives and friends, as long as they are acquaintances and have business contacts, they all have to come and have a look.
There is no way, what we Chinese people pay most attention to is the issue of etiquette. Even if we are criticized for being too extravagant and wasteful in posthumous affairs, everyone still enjoys it.
Mr. Huo and the chartering king are all Dong Haoyuan's old friends. Of course they must come back. Otherwise, how will the people you call Xiangjiang think of them?
Only Yin Jun was okay. Le Yiling was responsible for business matters, so Sister Le went to express her condolences on behalf of the Kirin Group.
But when the funeral was held, Yin Jun happened to have returned to Xiangjiang, so he had to go too.
Compared with Japanese businessmen, Chinese businessmen are basically a mess, but in Hong Kong they are a little better. Everyone relies more on laws and moral rules to do things, unlike in the mainland, who only rely on money. , recognize nothing.
If Yin Jun didn't go, I'm sure many people would gossip, say he looked down on others, or was arrogant or something like that.
So Sister Le told Yin Jun specifically and told him to appear.
When Yin Jun's Mercedes-Benz arrived at the scene, it was still surrounded by reporters.
Unlike the bustling entertainment reports, the reporters not only tried to wear plain clothes, but also did not loudly shout the names of the celebrities who came to the scene, asking them to be interviewed.
Because the celebrities here are not celebrities who are allowed to be reported by them, but super rich people with a net worth of tens of millions. Who dares to be so presumptuous?
Yin Jun, who was wearing a black suit and white shirt, walked out of the car holding Guan Zhilin, who was wearing a black dress. The reporters' eyes lit up.
This is really the most matched pair of golden boys and girls in Hong Kong.
Even in plain colors, they still have charm in their clothes. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. They are really enviable!
Yin Jun and Guan Zhilin ignored them and walked directly inside.
After learning etiquette and fashion for so long, and her husband is a super rich man in Xiangjiang, although Guan Zhilin is not old, she is now filled with a sense of nobility, instead of being only beautiful and without charm in her previous life.
First, he went to pay his final respects to Dong Haoyuan, then greeted and shook hands with the Dong family members. Under the leadership of the master of ceremonies, Yin Juncai took Guan Zhilin and sat down at the back.
Originally, with Yin Jun's current social status and wealth, he could sit in the front row with Mr. Huo, Charter King and others.
But in a place like this, people are not ranked by wealth, but by seniority. As a junior like him, he naturally has to sit at the back.
Having a seat is a good thing, but many people didn't even get a seat.
Yin Jun looked up at a middle-aged man in mourning kneeling next to the coffin and sighed slightly.
Guan Zhilin next to her thought that he was a little sentimental after seeing birth, old age, illness and death, so she quickly squeezed her brother Jun's hand, preparing to give him some warmth.
Yin Jun's thoughts were not in this regard.
He was just lamenting that the Dong family would really have a hard time in the next few years.
As early as more than a year ago, that is, in December 1980, Dong Shipwang's "Sea Giant Ship" was launched in Japan, with a tonnage of 564,800 tons. Even in 2020, it will be the largest super tanker in the world. .
How majestic was Dong Haoyuan at that time?
His high-spirited photos and interviews are everywhere in Hong Kong, as if he has become the world's second largest shipping king, well, that's actually the case.
But sometimes, being number one does not mean the best and the strongest.
After the charter king came ashore, the remaining shipping giants in Xiangjiang were all vying for the honor of being the first in shipping. Dong Haoyuan relied on his own strategy of desperately increasing the number of ships to win the honor of being the first in Xiangjiang and the second in the world.
But the problem is that the current shipping industry has gradually declined.
Oversupply of energy is the biggest problem!
Not to mention freight, China's demand has not exploded yet, the world's freight demand is stable, and because of the deepening of low birthrate and even childlessness, the demand of European and American countries On the contrary, it is constantly decreasing.
In fact, starting from 1980, the situation of the shipping industry, which was already a bit unsatisfactory, suddenly deteriorated a lot, and it has worsened every year since then.
Now in 1982, Oriental Overseas Company, the Dong family's core industry, has begun to take on large liabilities in banks.
That is to say, Dong Haoyuan is holding on. Everyone believes in Dong Haoyuan's ability and character, so they continue to borrow money.
Once Dong Haoyuan is gone, it will be fun for the Dong family.
If there is no one with enough strength and prestige to take charge, but the middle-aged man who is currently kneeling at the helm, this will cause a big problem.
Although the middle-aged man is the most glorious person in the Dong family. He is recorded in history because he served as the first and second governor after the two terms of return, but the problem is that Dong Jianhua cannot do business now. .
If Yin Jun remembers it well, in four years' time, the Dong family will be in debt with billions of Hong Kong dollars and encounter more than 200 creditors (people) to collect debts, causing a sensation all over the world.
If it weren't for Mr. Huo's hard work and the help of Dong Haoyuan's old friends who helped Orient Overseas survive bankruptcy and reorganization, the Dong family would be doomed.
However, it cannot be said that Dong Jianhua is completely incompetent.
It was after a few years of purgatory from now on that he completely exploded into his small universe, successfully completed the bankruptcy reorganization of Orient Overseas Company, and then spent several years taking care of the family business to a successful stage. On the right track, he paid off all the debts one after another, and made a solid return to his father.
It is true to say that at least half of the debts of Orient Overseas Company, now and in the future, are due to Dong Haoyuan's decisions. Dong Jianhua, the rich second generation, not only survived, but also paid them all off, revitalizing Dong Haoyuan. Home, this is a place to be proud of.
That is to say, because Dong Jianhua showed his outstanding strength in this crisis, Mr. Huo strongly supported him as the first governor who returned.
Who is Mr. Huo?
On the Huajing side, he is the anchor of Xiangjiang, the most trustworthy old friend, and one of our own.
Therefore, even if Wu Guangzhen jumped up and down, and initiated a series of relationships with his old father-in-law, hoping that he would obtain this honor that would be recorded in history, there was no way he could match Mr. Huo's influence, and he could only watch helplessly. Follow Dong Jianhua to the top.
Of course, it was another extremely exciting drama.
It's not just the connections between Mr. Huo and the Bao family that are competing, but also super-rich people like Li Chaoren, who have also stepped in. The fight is so exciting that it would be enough to write a book.
It's just that now, in everyone's eyes, Dong Jianhua, who is kneeling there to observe filial piety, is just a rich second generation who was forcibly dragged into the horse. Even he had a lot of work experience before, but as a member of the family The first person in the family is completely different from the important leader in the family in terms of meaning, responsibility, vision, and judgment.
If family leaders do something wrong, they can be criticized and encouraged to continue working hard.
But if the head of the family does something wrong, the whole family may be wiped out!
Xiangjiang has been open as a port for hundreds of years. Aren’t many large families that were once famous and prosperous have disappeared now?
The Dong family has been in a bit of trouble recently, and everyone knows it, but no one knows that they have begun to fall into a quagmire, and now they are sinking step by step, without the ability to struggle at all.
On this occasion, naturally no one came to discuss the future of the Dong family and how to deal with Dong Jianhua, but no one knew what they were thinking.
At least Yin Jun was thinking about how he was going to deal with Dong Jianhua.
Others don't know, but Yin Jun knows that this man has been in charge of Xiangjiang for ten years. No matter how others say he is the leader of Huajing, he is the number one person in Xiangjiang in the legal sense. Having a good relationship with him will There is nothing wrong with that.
Even though Dong Jianhua was forced into such an embarrassing situation by a group of real estate businessmen, and the grand plan of 80,000 public housing units per year was finally halted in an awkward manner, he actually did a lot of things.
For many important decisions in Hong Kong, you still have to look to Dong Jianhua to make them. Others are at most secretly opposed, and it is impossible to oppose him openly. No one is that stupid.
Yin Jun does not need Dong Jianhua to help him, and Yin Jun is not even afraid that Dong Jianhua will target him, because if this trend continues, Yin Jun may have moved his roots to the mainland by 1997.
Besides, even if Yin Jun doesn't leave, in terms of his relationship with his superiors, his own and the mainland's economic interests, and his foundation in Hong Kong, will anyone dare to touch him?
Are you kidding me?
00544?
Does anyone really dare to say, 44944?
However, if there is the first person in Xiangjiang who is kind to me, my life will be much more comfortable in the past ten years.
Not to mention, it's not like Yin Jun didn't use the Dong family.
Don’t forget, the Dong family is now the largest shipping king in Xiangjiang!
They have the largest oil tanker in the world, with a huge transportation capacity of hundreds of ships.
If you think about China’s reform, opening up, and liberalization, especially after 2000, the huge demand for oil, the huge demand for natural gas, the huge demand for iron ore...etc., don’t you all rely on shipping? Of?
Even if you don't think about things that far away... then, don't forget about Australia.
Yin Jun has already started to work hard in Australia, and tens of thousands of young people have been sent there one after another under Yin Jun's arrangement. In only two or three years, Yin Jun will capture those super iron ores. middle.
At that time, he will start construction and development, and then work hard to transport it to the country.
At that time, was it necessary to have a large and trustworthy fleet for transportation?
Although these ships of the Dong family have become a burden now, won't they be the best transportation carriers at that time?
When they were most in dire straits, Yin Jun reached out and gave him a hand. Wouldn't Dong Jianhua be grateful and shed tears? That gave him a life-saving ship!
With such a kindness and cooperation in iron ore, the relationship between Yin Jun and Dong Jianhua is an unbreakable cooperative alliance!
Immediately, Yin Jun no longer had to worry about many things in Xiangjiang until 2007.
Being able to ignore everything else and concentrate on building his own entertainment empire is Yin Jun's favorite situation!
