Chapter 1389 The He Family’s Wedding!
January 1, 1994.
Saturday.
Today is also New Year's Day.
It is also a festive holiday in Hong Kong.
In addition, the Governor's Office officially announced the construction of Hong Kong Central Park, which is to expand the area of Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport through land reclamation, which is the same as the area of New York Central Park.
Today, the groundbreaking ceremony was officially held at Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport.
A few days ago, after the last domestic flight to Hong Kong, all international and domestic flights to Hong Kong will fly to the new Hong Kong International Airport.
As for the old site of Kai Tak International Airport, it will become Hong Kong Central Park.
Today is the official groundbreaking ceremony. Considering that land reclamation is still needed to expand the area of the park, this project may take two years.
In other words, if the construction starts in 1994, it should be completed by the end of 1995.
By then, Hong Kong will also have its own Central Park, which will also be one of the largest parks in the world. This can be regarded as a benefit for ordinary citizens of Hong Kong.
Because with such a Central Park, Hong Kong citizens will have a new place to go in the future.
New Year's Day happened to be Saturday.
Yang Ming stayed in the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa to drink tea and chat with his parents.
For Yang Jirong and his wife, Yang Ming had long regarded them as his biological parents.
"Peter, where are you going this Spring Festival?"
Originally, Yang Jirong and his wife wanted to go back to their hometown for the Spring Festival this year, but they didn't expect that Yang Shuhai's departure would make Yang Jirong and his wife go back early, and now they are in no mood to go back to their hometown.
According to Yang Ming's plan.
It is indeed possible to go out and see during the Spring Festival.
Today, Yang Ming has a lot of private land around the world. Although many of them are held in the name of Empire Group or other people, Yang Ming has long been the world's largest landowner.
In China, in Hong Kong, in Macao, in Southeast Asia, in Australia, in Canada, in the United States, in South America, in Europe, and even in Africa, there are lands of Yang Ming and Empire Group.
"Daddy, Mommy, do you want to go somewhere closer or farther?"
Yang Ming knew that the couple had been feeling a little depressed these days because of the death of his uncle Yang Shuhai, so he could take them out to relax.
If they want to go somewhere closer.
Yang Ming thought they could go to Qionghai.
Although Yang Ming had just been there last year, the temperature in Sanya, Qionghai, was also very warm during the Spring Festival, and it was by the sea, which was much more comfortable than the seaside in Hong Kong.
If they want to go farther, Yang Ming could just take them to Australia in the southern hemisphere.
Although Yang Ming has a lot of land in Australia, he has never been there.
As for his hometown?
Yang Ming knew that he might not go back these years.
"It's all right." Yang Jirong said.
"Daddy, Mommy, then you can discuss it these days. If it's closer, you can go to Sanya in Qionghai. We went there last year and the scenery is really nice. If you want to go farther, we can go to Australia or even South Philippines."
Monday.
Yang Ming went back to the Empire Group Building to work normally.
Now the Empire Group is still functioning normally without him. The Empire Group's affairs, big and small, are basically handled by the cabinet and the secretariat.
Unless there is a problem related to the life and death of the company, Yang Ming may need to deal with it personally.
Now Yang Ming is in his chairman's office, looking out the window, and he can see clearly from a long distance.
In recent years, Hong Kong's infrastructure has also been expanding on a large scale, especially in Lantau Island, and there are more and more high-rise buildings in Central Hong Kong. However, no matter how they are built, they are only one-third or even one-quarter of the height of the Empire Group at most.
Yang Ming retracted his gaze.
Continue to work.
That afternoon.
Yang Ming took a car back to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
Just after getting off the car, Lin Dezhong and Ah Zhu came over and said, "Young Master Yang, the Ho family in Haojiang sent someone over."
Ho family?
Could it be the fifth son of Ho?
"Is it the fifth son?"
"No."
Yang Ming already understood.
Arriving at the garden, Yang Ming saw a middle-aged man. When the other party saw Yang Ming, he hurriedly greeted Yang Ming.
"Sir Yang, I am here on behalf of Sir Ho and Mr. Ho."
The Empire Group is now also a major shareholder of the Haojiang Tourism Company, but he never cares about those things, and all the annual dividends are injected into the charity foundation.
"What's the matter?"
"Mr. Ho is preparing for a wedding, and I hope you can attend."
Robert is preparing for a wedding?
Yang Ming knew that if it were in history, Robert would have died long ago, but in this life, it was also because of Yang Ming's reminder that Robert is now alive and well. As for his first wife, Yang Ming has not heard of her for a long time. She may still be in Portugal, or she may have passed away.
However, Robert could not live alone for so many years, he still needed a woman.
At the urging of Ho Hung-yen, the Ho family married a large business family in Hong Kong. Yang Ming had heard some news before, but he was not very interested.
Unexpectedly, they are going to get married now.
Yang Ming took the invitation and looked at it. It was on January 20, the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
It seems like there is still some time.
However, for marriages between big families, preparations are made in advance, and the invitations are all sent out in advance.
Now the He family is one of the four major families in Haojiang, but in fact, many people may feel that it still cannot be on the stage.
This time, the He family attaches great importance to Sir Yang and knows Sir Yang's identity. If Yang Ming can attend Robert's wedding, it will certainly be different for the He family.
Apart from this, no one in the outside world knows about the relationship between Yang Ming and He Chaoluo.
"Who else was invited?"
"Sir Yang, the He family has invited many people from Haojiang, Xiangjiang, Nanyang and the mainland." The middle-aged man said.
"Go back and tell Mr. He and Robert that I will attend his wedding."
When Sir Yang agreed, the other party breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the other party hesitated, thought for a moment and said, "Sir Yang, Mr. He hopes that my sister can go back to attend his wedding."
The sister the other party was talking about was, of course, He Chaoluo.
However, the second roommate of the He family was not close to the eldest roommate at all. Apart from following Yang Ming to Haojiang, He Chaoluo never went back at all. He Chaoluo had not seen He Hongyan for a long time.
"I'll talk to her."
"Robert asked me to thank you on his behalf for your understanding."
The middle-aged man did not stay for dinner and went back immediately after completing the task.
Lin Dezhong came over and said, "Mr. Yang, Mr. He is getting married. We have to prepare gifts in advance."
"You should, go get ready."
There are still more than ten days to prepare, so there is no rush.
Lin Dezhong wrote it down.
Yang Ming didn't expect that he would change the fate of the He family and even Robert.
However, in this case, the biggest loss may be to the second house.
This time, Robert is getting married again, and is marrying into a big family in Xiangjiang. Then the eldest brother of the He family will be stronger, and the second brother of the He family may not have a chance.
Of course, Yang Ming didn't want He Chaoluo to go back.
Have a night's rest.
Early the next day.
After Yang Ming finished breakfast, he took the car back to the chairman's office at the Empire State Building headquarters.
While He Chaoluo was making coffee for Yang Ming, Yang Ming looked at Lin Xiuzhi and said, "Pansy and I will have a few words alone."
Lin Xiuzhi also went out.
In fact, Yang Ming was afraid that He Chaoluo would become emotional.
For Yang Ming, Lin Xiuzhi has long been one of his most trusted people.
And now Lin Xiuzhi has never been married, also because of the relationship between this secretary and her position.
"Sir, don't you trust Secretary Lin very much?"
"It involves your family affairs."
He Chaoluo was a little stunned.
Let He Chaoluo sit next to him.
Yang Ming said: "Last night, the He family sent someone to tell me that your half-brother Robert is getting married and has sent me an invitation. In addition, Robert hopes that your sister will go back to attend his wedding." What do you think about the wedding?”
Robert's second marriage?
It's still about the wedding.
In fact, her mother had already told her the last time Yang Ming and He Chaoluo went to Canada.
It is only now officially announced to the public.
For Robert, He Chaoluo just regarded him as a stranger.
Although she knew that Robert was still more optimistic about her sister.
However, the conflict between the first house and the second house may not be resolved in this lifetime.
"Whether you go back or not depends on what you think? If you don't want to go, then you can stay in Xiangjiang. When Robert asked me, he said you were busy."
"Sir, for my father's sake, I will still go there. Moreover, my mother has asked me to prepare gifts for him in advance."
"That's good."
Yang Ming looked at the other party and said.
He knew that He Chaoluo was still very smart.
No matter what the internal conflicts are, we still need to appear united and harmonious externally.
The next few days.
Yang Ming commutes to and from get off work normally.
However, the news of the wedding of Robert, the son of the Haojiang He family, has already spread.
Many big families in Xiangjiang have received invitations.
Including Huo Yingdong and others.
Although Huo Yingdong also sold all the shares of Haojiang Entertainment Company to Yang Ming, the Huo family and the He family only have an ordinary relationship. This time Huo Yingdong received an invitation from the He family, and Huo Yingdong learned about Yang Ming's past. When the time came, Huo Yingdong was ready to let his eldest son go with Yang Ming.
January 18, 1994.
The seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.
Tuesday.
Yang Ming, He Chaoluo, Ying La, Alina, and even Li Jiaxin, as well as Hao's eldest son and others, took a boat from Repulse Bay Pier to the opposite Haojiang River.
"Sir, this is Lingdingyang!"
This is both Lingdingyang and the Pearl River Estuary.
And the bridge across Lingding Yang will be here.
"Yes, this is Lingdingyang. When the Lingdingyang Bridge is built in a few years, you can go to the Haojiang River on the opposite side and just take a car there."
Under normal circumstances, unless there is extreme weather such as a typhoon, driving on the bridge is definitely safer and more comfortable than taking a boat.
Nowadays, when taking a boat, you can sometimes get seasick.
But not in a car.
Moreover, once the Lingdingyang Bridge is built, the speed leading to the two places will definitely be much faster.
Passing through the Pearl River Estuary.
The big ship that Yang Ming and others were sitting on arrived at the deep-water port in the southernmost part of the Haojiang Reclamation Area.
At this time, the fifth young master of the He family, the Cui family, the Ma family, and Robert of the He family were already here to greet him. They already knew that Sir Yang was coming two days in advance.
When Yang Ming's ship docked.
Yang Ming and others got off the ship.
The fifth son of the He family and others came over and were very excited when they saw Yang Ming.
After Yang Ming and the fifth son of the He family hugged and shook hands, they shook hands with the representatives of the Cui family and the Ma family, and then Robert.
At this time, Robert's face was flushed.
After all, the power of the He family gradually fell into his hands. Ho Hung-yen was also very optimistic about the ability of this eldest son. Moreover, he would soon get married, so how could he not be happy.
"Sir Yang, thank you for coming." Robert said to Yang Ming.
Robert looked at his sister He Chao-ling again.
He knew that He Chao-ling came because of his father.
The wind here in the port is very strong now, so Yang Ming and others did not stay here for a long time.
After getting on the car, they left here.
After not coming here for a while, Yang Ming found that Haojiang had changed a lot.
Now in addition to the gambling industry, other industries in Haojiang are also developing, including industry, steel mills and refineries provided by the Empire Group, and more and more corresponding supporting factories have appeared here.
The current Haojiang is a bit like the development of Singapore.
Now there is a deep-water port in Haojiang, but it does not have the geographical advantage of the Strait of Malacca like Singapore.
Along the way, Yang Ming looked outside. He knew that the Haojiang River, which was reclaimed and built underground, had expanded a lot, and it was completely different from when he first came here.
Yang Ming and others first came to the Oriental Mandarin Hotel in Haojiang.
During this period, Yang Ming stayed here.
After Yang Ming and others went in.
In the morning.
Yang Ming went to the He family first.
After all, he and Mr. He Wu were brothers who recognized each other. Before He Xian left, he entrusted the He family to him to take care of.
When Yang Ming came to Haojiang, Mr. He Wu was still the most important.
Yang Ming only brought Yingla, Alina, and those bodyguards.
When he arrived at the He family, he first burned incense and worshipped Mr. He.
Then he talked to Mr. He Wu about Haojiang.
The He family is involved in many industries in Haojiang, including real estate companies, water companies, finance, etc., and the cooperation with the Empire Group in recent years. In addition to the wealth brought by land reclamation, there are shares of Haojiang International Airport and Haojiang Deepwater Port, as well as some shares of Haojiang Steel Plant, Haojiang Refinery, etc.
However, in Yang Ming's view, the future identity of He Wugongzi will be different, because that position has been reserved for him. Although there are still a few years, Yang Ming thinks that he can exercise well in advance and start from the most basic.
As for whether He Lao had such an idea before he left, Yang Ming didn't know.
However, he knew that now He Wugongzi has him and He Lao's network of relationships before his death, he will definitely take that position.
The two talked a lot.
Wait until lunch comes.
Yang Ming and He Wugongzi's family and other He brothers had lunch together.
Yang Ming left here and returned to the Oriental Mandarin Hotel.
