He Hongsen usually lives in his company in Macau. Apart from Macau, he spends the longest time in his independent manor-style villa in Repulse Bay.
After all, although Macau is a world-famous gambling city, its area is still too small to accommodate too many real estate developments.
Rich businessmen in Macau also often like to buy real estate properties in Hong Kong, and Ho Hongsen is the same.
In addition to himself, several wives also own expensive mansions in Hong Kong. For example, the second concubine Lan Qiongqing owns a luxury villa worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in Jardine's Lookout, Hong Kong.
In recent days, Xu Jinsheng woke up naked with a prostitute in a back alley and was prosecuted by the Hong Kong police for whoring, and Xu Jianming was attacked at home late at night, and He Xueyun suddenly announced to the media that he divorced Xu Jinsheng. There was a lot of buzz.
The He family has also received a lot of attention. Reporters can often be seen waiting outside the houses of several aunts and wives.
The media wanted to know the He family's attitude towards He Xueyun's divorce announcement, and to see if He Hongsen's decision was supported by He Hongsen, but He Hongsen and anyone in the He family never responded, as if He Xueyun was not from the He family.
Today is He Hongsen's seventy-seventh birthday. In previous years, the three concubines would celebrate his birthday separately, but this year he sent a message to his family, asking all his wives and children to go back to the He family mansion in Repulse Bay for him. Happy birthday.
It can be regarded as a special family gathering, and besides the dignitaries, the guests invited are all important friends of He Hongsen.
People in the fourth room of the He family were guessing that He Hongsen wanted everyone to gather together to celebrate his birthday this year, probably because of He Xueyun, and they were more gloating at He Xueyun's misfortune.
According to He Hongsen's temper, he hates the family members who spoil the door sound very much, and the punishment will be extremely severe.
In the evening, the He family's mansion in Repulse Bay was brightly lit. The invited dignitaries came one after another, and all kinds of luxury cars were parked in the spacious courtyard.
"He Weng, congratulations, I wish you a happy life every year!" This is a man in his fifties and sixties. He is short and fat with gray hair and a smile on his face. He is the overlord of the rubber industry in Malaysia. Xie Taiwang is also He Hongsen's old friend for many years.
"Be polite, be polite, I'm very sorry to have you come all the way from Malaysia."
He Hongsen wore a tailored black suit tonight. He is already tall, so even though he is nearly 80 years old, he still looks energetic and radiant.
Xie Taiwang smiled and greeted the three concubines who were by He Hongsen's side: "Hello, three sisters-in-laws. I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are younger than before."
As wealthy ladies, the three wives of the He family naturally knew
How to maintain his image in front of people, he smiled and nodded to Xie Taiwang reservedly to show his thanks.
But I heard Xie Taiwang suddenly said sadly: "Oh, in the blink of an eye, sister-in-law Wanzhen has passed away for more than 20 years, time flies so fast, but you, He Weng, are still as energetic as you were then, I envy you It's tight."
He Hongsen was also a little disappointed when he heard his friend mention his wife who passed away for many years. After all, he had a very good relationship with his first wife Liang Wanzhen, even though she had passed away for many years.
He Hongsen is still unforgettable. Although Lan Qiongqing's three concubines are favored by him, they have always been by his side as concubines.
The faces of Lan Qiongqing and the others were not so good. Although the three of them fought openly and secretly on weekdays to make the backyard of the He family as lively as an ancient harem, they all knew the status of Liang Wanzhen, the "big house" in He Hongsen's heart.
They were also very jealous, now that Xie Taiwang mentioned it, even though they were angry with him in their hearts, they did not dare to show it.
"By the way, I heard that something happened in your family during this time." Xie Taiwang said to He Hongsen.
He Hongsen naturally knew that he was talking about the matter between He Xueyun and Xu's family, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the children are naughty and disobedient."
Xie Taiwang laughed: "You can manage a large consortium worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but you can't manage your own children. You can't compare to me in this respect."
Even though he knew that Xie Taiwang was just joking, and he had a very harmonious relationship with his friends, He Hongsen was still very displeased when he heard Xie Taiwang's words, and even more annoyed He Xueyun, the "culprit" of this incident.
"Huh? Isn't that your Macau Governor Wei Qili? Let's go over and say hello to him." Xie Taiwang said.
He Hongsen nodded, and walked towards the Macau Governor Wei Qili with Xie Taiwang, but he was a little worried.
Macau will return to China next year. Ho Hongsen's fortune is closely related to the colonial government. It can be said that he was able to slowly develop his family into a local snake entrenched in Macau because of the support of the Portuguese government.
Now that Macau is about to return to China, although He Hongsen has already contacted the central government early, he wants to maintain the development of the He family by moving closer to the central government.
However, although the central government treated He Hongsen very well, He Hongsen himself knew that the central government did not make any promises to him like it did to the Li family and the Guo family when Hong Kong returned, which made He Hongsen very uneasy.
"Sir He, congratulations, may you grow old like a pines and cypresses and have a long life like Nanshan."
Wei Qili speaks Chinese well, and the reason why he called He Hongsen a knight is indeed because He Hongsen has the Portuguese "Grand Cross" and is a genuine nobleman.
He Hongsen smiled faintly: "Thank you Governor."
At this time, some of He Hongsen's
The sons came over and greeted Wei Qili one after another, and Wei Qili smiled at He Hongsen: "It's better for you Chinese to say that a tiger father has no dogs, Sir He, you young masters are very good.
Keeping your company in order has also made a great contribution to the economic development of our Macau. "
"The governor has won the award. They are still very young. I don't know when they will really take over from my He family."
He didn't mean to be modest on purpose, but the results of his sons really didn't satisfy him very much. After all, they didn't grow up from the stage of building a family from nothing.
Compared with himself, there is still a big distance. Many big decisions in the company still require him to make the final decision by himself.
Faced with He Hongsen's reprimand, the young masters of the He family all bowed their heads and obediently received the training.
No matter how unscrupulous they are outside, they are more obedient in front of He Hongsen than the most docile cats and dogs, and they dare not disobey He Hongsen in the slightest.
At this time, He Hongsen caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man in a gray and white Chinese tunic suit appearing at the entrance of the hall, followed by two tall and straight guards.
He was overjoyed immediately, and said to Wei Qili and Xie Taiwang: "Let's go there, that is General Lu Zhenwu, the commander of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Garrison in Hong Kong."
Of course, He Hongsen knows how high Lu Zhenwu's status is in the Chinese military. As the first commander of the armed forces after the return of Hong Kong, the person who can take up this position must be a heavyweight general in the Chinese military.
Given that Lu Zhenwu is less than 50 years old, he is already a "young cadre" in the Chinese military, and his future will definitely be brighter.
If you can build a good relationship with Lu Zhenwu, it will be very beneficial to the development of the He family, and the Hong Kong Garrison is very close to Macau, so Lu Zhenwu has become He Hongsen's primary target.
It's just that He Hongsen asked someone to send invitations to Lu Zhenwu many times before, but Lu Zhenwu refused his request because he was busy with business.
This time He Hongsen sent an invitation to Lu Zhenwu originally without hope, but unexpectedly Lu Zhenwu came in person, which made He Hongsen feel that his purpose of relying on the central government to consolidate the position of the He family had great hope.
"General Lu, welcome!" He Hongsen held Lu Zhenwu's hand very enthusiastically: "I really didn't expect that General Lu would come in person. I'm really flattered."
Compared to He Hongsen's enthusiasm, Lu Zhenwu looked a little cold, and gently withdrew the hand held by He Hongsen
With a calm smile: "Mr. He's birthday party, Mr. Lu always wants to treat him.
Oh, by the way, this is the first time for Lu to meet Mr. He. Please accept this birthday present as a way of expressing Lu's respect. "
A person behind him took out a small glass box and handed it to He Hongsen. Inside the glass box was a green Jade Maitreya.
"General
Jun, you are really, alas, then I will not be hypocritical, so I will accept it, thank you General Lu. "He Hongsen accepted the Jade Maitreya with a smile, and warmly invited Lu Zhenwu inside.
Compared with Lu Zhenwu, the key figure to whether the He family can gain a stable foothold in Macau, the other people at the banquet seemed insignificant.
He Hongsen used the communication skills he had honed over decades, tried his best to please Lu Zhenwu, and asked his three concubines to introduce Lu Zhenwu one by one to show the closeness of the He family to him.
He Hongsen is a tycoon in the gaming industry. He travels all over the world and has extraordinary knowledge. He has accumulated nearly a century of experience. Talking about the world can inspire and gain a lot.
However, Lu Zhenwu always had a calm appearance, and the calm temperament of a senior general was another manifestation of his charm.
While He Hongsen was talking eloquently, he also tried to test the central government's attitude towards the He family from Lu Zhenwu, and hinted several times to Lu Zhenwu that he hoped to get his help.
But Lu Zhenwu didn't know whether he didn't understand He Hongsen's words or did it on purpose. No matter what He Hongsen said, he never leaked anything and didn't make any statement.
At this time, a servant came to He Hongsen and whispered to him: "Master, Miss Xueyun is here."
