Chapter 1455 Li Chaoren's Social Gathering (Part 2)
After entering 2000, if we talk about who is very dazzling in Chinese real estate, the local industry is naturally Hurricane Construction. It is not only the leading industry in China, but now the project has expanded overseas.
In addition to the mainland, the investment of Hong Kong, Australian, and European and American foreign capital in Chinese real estate is the most dazzling, and Li Chaoren is definitely in the top three, and even a strong contender for the first place.
And because of the title of Asia's richest man, Li Chaoren is more awesome than Hurricane Construction in many people's minds. There is no way that China has just developed, and people still have a little inferiority in their hearts.
I always feel that foreigners are richer than domestic people, and Hong Kong-funded, European and American companies are better than domestic companies. This is just like the Chinese businessmen who began to pour into Africa in a dozen years.
At that time, as long as Africans see an Asian face and regard him as a Chinese, their first reaction is that Chinese people are rich. In fact, not all Chinese people are rich, just like not all Africans are poor.
Some local kings not only have a lot of wives, but are also absolute rulers. They have all kinds of minerals and gold in their hands, which are richer than the Chinese people who are rich in the eyes of the Chinese people.
But the people's mentality in this regard has always been emotional. In addition, they have watched Hong Kong movies since they were young, and when they were still living in adobe houses, they saw the high-rise buildings in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
So it is normal to feel that people in Hong Kong and Taiwan are richer than people in the mainland, not to mention that the halo of the richest man in Asia on Li Chaoren's head is real.
Therefore, when it comes to Li Chaoren's fame, it is definitely greater than Hurricane Construction. For example, the source of Li Chaoren's fame is Changhe Industrial, but many people know Li Chaoren, but not Changhe Industrial. This is a real example of a person's fame exceeding a corporate brand.
Since he became the chairman of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce, Li Chaoren can be said to be in high spirits. He is not only the representative of Hong Kong businessmen and the richest man in Asia, but also has been greatly blessed in some invisible power.
So in recent years, Li Chaoren has been traveling between Hong Kong and the mainland, and every time he has been in the newspapers, when he went to invest in a place, the standard of reception was much higher than that of Yang Dongxu.
For example, even if Li Chaoren simply went to Chengdu to see the pandas, the local officials would have to receive him well. Yang Dongxu wanted to see the pandas, but he needed to buy a ticket.
Not only when he came to the mainland, but even when he went to Japan and South Korea to engage in business activities, the reception standard was also very high. When Ma Fengyun became the richest man, what kind of treatment and standard would he receive when he went on a business trip abroad to discuss cooperation, or when he discussed business with some business delegations in China.
Looking at Li Chaoren now, basically Ma Fengyun will be at this level in the future.
It's just that the Internet is not very developed now, and ordinary people only know Li Chaoren, but they don't have a deep impression of him.
Unlike more than ten years later, the Internet is extremely developed, and anything can be directly posted on the Internet. Everyone feels that Ma Feng seems to be the number one business person in China, super powerful, even more powerful than Li Chaoren.
The standard of today's banquet is very high. Not only did Li Chaoren come in person, but the guests invited were also very wealthy.
To what extent? If any of the guests today hold hands with a female star, even if they are just friends and nothing happens, they can be on the headlines of Hong Kong gossip.
What makes this banquet more high-profile is the arrival of Yang Dongxu.
Speaking of Yang Dongxu, many people may still be a little confused. After all, the boss of Hurricane Construction is too mysterious. Everyone knows that there is such a person, but they don’t know who this person is.
But Li Chaoren personally came to the door to greet him, and then someone who knew who this young man was mentioned a little, and in an instant, the identity of the boss of Hurricane Construction spread among the crowd.
The bosses who were originally accompanied by others respectfully in other occasions stretched their necks one by one at this time, like curious children, wanting to see the mysterious face of the boss of Hurricane Construction.
"He is the boss behind Hurricane Construction, right? He is too young."
"Maybe he is the son of the boss behind Hurricane Construction, for example, he is from a big family."
"What are you talking about? He is the boss of Hurricane Construction, and he may be from a big family. But he is definitely the boss of Hurricane Construction. He is the one who manages Hurricane Construction. I had the honor to meet him at an official party before."
"How is it possible?"
"What is impossible? There have been rumors in the industry that the boss of Hurricane Construction is very young. Isn't he very young? It just happens to be right."
"But he is too young. Is he thirty years old?"
"He looks like he is only twenty-four or twenty-five."
"He is in charge of Hurricane Construction, a behemoth, at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five. Then what are we at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five?"
The sudden arrival of the boss of Hurricane Construction caused a greater sensation among the guests than Li Chaoren's personal attendance at the banquet.
"Seeing Director Yang, I feel really old." Li Chaoren said with a smile, taking a glass of wine from the waiter.
The banquet was a buffet, not an annual meeting. Zhuo also had to arrange the seating arrangement for the birthday banquet. A buffet-style banquet is more relaxing.
Those who feel qualified can hold a glass of wine and go into the core circle to make some connections. It is more relaxed and convenient for everyone to get to know each other.
"Mr. Li is still strong and a role model for us young people to learn from." Yang Dongxu smiled and clinked glasses with Li Chaoren.
He didn't come here to show off. He came here because some people and some things have been a bit big recently. He came here to show his face and let these people wake up. There is a big tiger lying here. Don't forget to get too close.
Such a deterrent may be to deter some people from tacitly joining forces to block Hurricane Construction when it recently acquired land. It may also be just because the country encourages cultural industries, which is good for the real estate market, and he, a big leader in the mainland, came out to show his face to show support.
In short, people with bad intentions have their own guesses, and those who don't understand just think about whether they can have a little relationship with this big leader.
After a few friendly and harmonious conversations, Li Chaoren held a glass and talked with a few good friends, and chatted with some "fans" by the way.
Yang Dongxu was not idle here either. Many well-known bigwigs in the mainland came to say hello. These are all worth hundreds of billions in the future, and several of them are competing for the throne of the richest man.
However, although these people have begun to dominate the business world now, their power is weaker than in the future. After all, they are still growing crocodiles. At the same time, these people look much younger than those seen in newspapers a few years later.
Moreover, when they meet in such occasions, they are not very serious and majestic. Instead, they speak very nicely and are very talented, and they will laugh and tease each other.
Among this group of people, Yang Dongxu saw a familiar person, Dong Li!
After Xiao Wenchen came to Shanghai to study, Yang Dongxu rarely went to Hangzhou. Even if he went there, he would leave after dealing with the affairs of Xuri Technology, so he had less contact with these old friends. I didn't expect to meet them at a banquet for outsiders today.
"It's really not easy for Mr. Yang to see you." Dong Li smiled and raised his glass and clinked it with Yang Dongxu.
He is already over 60 years old and looks like a man who has just reached 50 years old. He is very energetic. At the same time, as he grows older, his aura becomes more and more friendly. If he changes his clothes, you would think that the uncle next door asked you if you had breakfast when you went out. It's very friendly.
"Boss Dong, what you said sounds like a creditor who wants to pay back his debts." Yang Dongxu smiled and teased.
Although the age difference between the two is a bit big, Dong Li is more than ten years older than Yang's father, but there is no generation gap when they talk.
Not only Dong Li, but also Boss Zong and Boss Lu of Lucheng all get along well.
This may also be because apart from the cooperation in Minsheng Bank, the other businesses are all managed by each of them, there is no competition, and there is no conflict of interest, so they get along more purely and harmoniously.
For example, Yang Dongxu and Shi Niuren's aura is a bit wrong, because they met each other several times, either to borrow money or to discuss business. There is no private friendship at all, only commercial interests, so the relationship is naturally much more distant.
"When did Boss Yang owe me money? I forgot, pay it back quickly." Dong Li said with a smile.
"Boss Dong is getting younger and younger." Zhao Yu and Dong Li next to him clinked glasses.
Yang Dongxu came here today just to show his face. If there is any specific exchange or communication between peers, it is Zhao Yu's job, so he came along.
Otherwise, after Yang Dongxu came to attend the banquet, he would go to Yanjing in two days, and it is unknown when he will come to the company next time. If there is something, it is still his. Instead of going back and asking his boss to relay it, it is better to come directly.
"You said I was young in front of your boss. I feel like you are scolding me, Mr. Zhao."
"This cannot be compared. When compared, we were like eating dry food for decades." Zhao Yu teased his boss. It seemed like a tease, but it was also a compliment to the art of speaking.
However, this is not a random compliment, because if we really talk about each other's achievements according to age, then compare with Yang Dongxu, who is more than 30 years old.
When they were in their thirties, they were simply not worth mentioning. One is in heaven and the other is underground.
"That's right, this cannot be compared. It makes people depressed just thinking about it." Dong Li said with a big laugh.
"Hello, Mr. Dong, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Yang!"
These few days, several people talked and laughed, and people kept coming to say hello. Yang Dongxu nodded and clinked glasses with a smile, and gradually the banquet was divided into two factions.
The businessmen in Hong Kong subconsciously leaned towards Li Chaoren, while more real estate developers from the mainland came to Yang Dongxu's side.
This situation was seen by those who cared about it. After all, they were all bosses of real estate companies. A fool could not be so successful. They were all smart.
At the end of the banquet, Yang Dongxu walked towards Li Chaoren with a glass of wine. Many people looked at him curiously. Although they seemed to be talking to each other, their attention was focused on Yang Dongxu.
Many people suddenly felt a sense of excitement at this moment, not knowing why.
