Chapter 710 Going Home
After arriving at the hotel, Wang Yuanchao called the holding group office directly and asked them to replace the general manager of Hualong Economic Company.
The new general manager rushed to Hua Ting Hotel overnight and had to report to him tomorrow morning.
The people in Hong Kong were confused as to why the boss suddenly asked for a replacement without even giving a reason.
Then countless phone calls followed.
……
The boss occasionally gets angry, but the effect is very significant. The new general manager brought a team directly from Hong Kong and chartered a plane to Hong Kong overnight to prepare for the press conference the next day.
By utilizing the connections accumulated over the years, every aspect was perfect from the on-site layout, media invitation and reception, on-site interaction to subsequent publicity and follow-up.
Although time was tight, many major media outlets still flew directly here from the south or north.
Sure enough, I still have to kill a few chickens from time to time.
As for the reason, the boss doesn’t need a reason. The biggest reason is that the boss is unhappy.
After this wave of press conferences, Ye Jihong’s influence in the country became unparalleled.
Before choosing the spokesperson for the Asian Games, the Songjiang government took the initiative and invited Ye Jihong to endorse Pudong. After all, a large wave of American funds was about to arrive, and Ye Jihong won the Miss Universe title in the United States.
Wang Yuanchao was a little amused and felt that the Songjiang authorities were shooting themselves in the foot.
Originally, he was planning to entertain the Americans in person, but since Ye Jihong stepped forward as the spokesperson, he did not want to reveal his identity for the time being and decided not to attend.
Let Patricia come forward, she likes to be in the spotlight anyway.
Moreover, as the daughter of a former US president, she is like the queen of investment in Japan, and she has the final say. This makes her suitable for negotiating the price with Putong.
Although Wang Yuanchao is willing to invest in the construction of the mainland, he will not give up the money that should be earned.
It’s better not to show up.
In fact, Ye Jihong is just a mascot in such occasions, and she only shows up as a topic of conversation.
But Patricia certainly knew that Ye Jihong was Earl Wang’s new favorite, otherwise how could this girl stand out from a group of beauties?
So I was quite considerate and said a lot of polite words.
This made the Songjiang authorities very satisfied with the decision to invite Ye Jihong to be the spokesperson for this investment promotion campaign.
Look, the Americans really recognize this!
People think that we have really opened our minds, otherwise we wouldn’t participate in this competition, right?
People think that we have not only opened our minds, but also displayed considerable strength, otherwise we would not have been able to win this competition with so many top players, right?
In short, the Americans praised it highly and expressed their hope and confidence in the cooperation!
In the next few days, the US investment delegation began to visit various sites for inspection.
This time is different from Japan. In Japan, the Adventurer Fund was in charge of it all, but this time, the Adventurer Fund is taking the lead and everyone will follow suit based on the situation.
After completing the work in Songjiang, Ye Jihong continued to head north, where greater glory was waiting for her.
This time, Hualong Company’s arrangements are immediately different, learning from past experience.
After all, to be honest, even stars like Jet Li and He Qing have not won international awards, but they are still champions, so Ye Jihong's value is still soaring.
I can’t act or sing, so what?
The model is pretty good too!
After the Asian Games, Ye Jihong will go to the United States to continue participating in some fashion shows, and Wang Yuanchao will raise her net worth. Even if she doesn't make it in the international arena, in Asia and in China, she will be a supermodel who has received world-class treatment!
If the customer base is big enough, the store owner will not dare to cheat them.
Ye Jihong had to go north, while Wang Yuanchao needed to go south, so the two had to be separated for a while.
At least during this period of time, the relationship between the two has been getting warmer.
Why did Wang Yuanchao go south?
Because the Hong Kong United team played in the World Cup in Italy, lost to Italy in the quarter-finals and returned home with a defeat, but they still made it to the round of 16, which is the best result for an Asian team.
The UAE, which entered the World Cup stage for the first time, lost all three group matches and conceded 11 goals, but at least they still scored two goals, which was considered a bit of face.
This achievement may not be very impressive now, but in ten or twenty years, especially after the return, it will definitely be admired by the mainland.
The Jockey Association is used to manage Hong Kong, and the Football Association is used to connect with the mainland.
Wang Yuanchao wanted to pass this foundation on to the eldest branch of the family, so how could he give it up?
But, how should I put it, the Hong Kong fans have become numb to the qualification that the mainland fans have been looking forward to so long, because the Hong Kong Football Team has qualified every time, and can even qualify from the group stage every now and then, and the highest they have ever reached is fourth place. The threshold is different from that of the mainland.
The top 16 is barely enough. If we can get into the top 8, it would be worth being happy.
But what should we do when we meet Italy? They are strong and they are the host country.
In fact, not only the mainland is eagerly waiting, but Boluo State is also eagerly waiting.
However, there are only two places in Asia. The Xiangjiang United, the big devil cultivated by Wang Yuanchao, now basically occupies one place. The remaining one will be fought for by East Asia and West Asia. South Korea, the mainland, and Boluo Kingdom have fought in 85 and 89, but the two attacks failed.
I can only look at the river and sigh.
Wang Yuanchao participated in the welcoming ceremony of the Xiangjiang League as usual.
In this year's Asian Games, the Hong Kong United Team will aim for Hong Kong's first Asian Games gold medal in football.
In 86, we were eliminated by South Korea’s unfair whistle. In 82, in New Delhi, the Hong Kong team had a stomachache and there was nothing they could do. In 78, in Bangkok, we unfortunately won the silver medal. In 74, in Tehran, the Hong Kong team was not strong enough and could not adapt to the high altitude climate of Iran.
For this Asian Games in mainland China, the right time, right place and right people are all there, and Hong Kong is bound to make a great effort.
There is no way. Wang Yuanchao is now in Hong Kong and can only apologize to the fans in the mainland.
Shortly after the American investment group finished its inspection, Uncle Huo led the Hong Kong investment group north to Songjiang.
A lot of Hong Kong capital under Wang Yuanchao has gone there. There is no reason to let Americans eat the fat piece of Pudong instead of Hong Kong people.
And after Hong Kong, the third wave of investment groups from Boluo State will also embark on the journey.
Since the State of Boro has no money, it will sell land to Earl Wang. Anyway, only Earl Wang can buy such a large piece of land in this way. As for others, they just have to follow the rules.
Under the leadership of Americans and Hong Kong people, a lot of capital from Japanese, Izu people, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand followed suit.
It is because the Adventurer Fund’s performance in Japan is too impressive, and everyone subconsciously follows the Adventurer Fund to pick up some meat.
Anyway, just keep an eye on the actions of the Adventurer Fund, right?
In Japan, even after people run away, they still leave plenty of time for latecomers!
Wang Yuanchao flew to the capital again.
First, he had to meet with the new leader, chat, have dinner, and report on his thoughts and work. With the old leader as the host and the Pudong investment groups coming one after another, Wang Yuanchao quickly gained the friendship of the new leader.
Songjiang is the place where new leaders grow up!
It is also because of Wang Yuanchao’s sincerity that the new leadership is still very supportive of some immigration and overseas labor work in Boluo State.
But Wang Yuanchao knew that immigration on this scale was coming to an end.
Gorbachev's inability to prevent Lithuania's independence meant that the Soviet Union's grave had been dug.
But as long as we can grab a year of immigration, that would mean two to three million young and strong laborers, the first batch of baby boomers since the independence of Boro State. These babies are just starting primary school now, and it will take at least 10 years for them to enter society!
Therefore, these young and strong people are particularly precious to the Boro State.
After establishing relationships with the leaders above him, Wang Yuanchao went home.
My mother Miao Cui is 73 years old and my father Wang Quan is 68 years old. They are both old.
After looking at the photo of her great-grandson Wang Bo, Miao Cui said to her husband:
"Are you going to burn some paper on your father's grave again?"
Wang Quan glared at his wife:
“The aid to North Korea is still there, what you said.
I'm here to give him the good news. After all, our family now has four generations living under one roof!
What a blessing this is!"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"It's okay. When the child is older, let Wang Xiao bring him back and let you take a good look at him, great-grandson!"
Wang Quan waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, the child is too young, don't make such a fuss.
In two years I will be 70, and it is rare for people to live to be . Your mother held a banquet in Hong Kong back then, so I will go there. How about you hold a banquet at your Boluo Hotel?
It's a good time to visit my great-grandson!"
Wang Yuanchao patted his chest and said:
"Hey, if you just want to go to Los Angeles, that's fine! The world is so big, you can choose any place you want!"
Wang Quan smiled evilly:
"I want to have the feast in the one with 12 pillars, is that ok?"
Wang Yuanchao raised his head and said:
"Why not? I just came back from there."
Wang Quan immediately grabbed his third son and said:
"Hey, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."
Miao Cui spat:
"You are timid and cowardly, and you have too many ideas. I am talking about you, Comrade Lao Wang!"
Wang Quan just laughed and didn't respond.
Wang Sheng sighed:
"My eldest son doesn't even have a partner, but I got the chance to become a grandfather thanks to the aid of the North Korean government!"
Wang Yuanchao asked:
"How is Wencheng doing in Qiantang?"
Last year, Qiantang wanted to attract investment from Wang Yuanchao through He Qing.
Wang Yuanchao handed the favor over to his younger sister and her husband.
Not only did He Qing get the title, but his eldest nephew Wang Wencheng, who graduated from university last year, also successfully got a job opportunity from the Qiantang Municipal Government. He successfully became a member of the people's service and satisfied his father Wang Sheng's simple wish.
After all, if you want to pursue a career in politics, you have to start from the grassroots level. A level that is too basic is too hard, and a level that is not too basic loses its meaning. Qiantang is just the right place.
Anyway, with the connections and capital of his two uncles, this kid's development will not be too bad.
Wang Yuanchao's investment there was also very simple, opening a hotel by the West Lake.
I don’t know whether I will make money or not, but even if I lose money, it won’t be much, so I can afford it.
Wang Shengdao:
"I just started working, and there's a lot to learn, that's it!"
Sister-in-law Huang Ling refused to give in and said:
"Yuan Chao, you don't know that they let Wencheng be in charge of the construction and investment of your hotel, and they also told the hotel openly and secretly that Wencheng is the nephew of your boss!
This is really a shameless person!
Wencheng told us that he was very distressed and felt sorry for you!"
Hi, I just asked my nephew to ask for progress payment from the investors of the Good Hotel. Although all the construction work is undertaken by the mainland, many tasks also rely on the financial support of the investors.
Wang Yuanchao laughed and said:
"What does it mean?
This shows that the government knows that it is more appropriate to use Wencheng than anyone else to supervise progress!
Let him study more. As long as his progress is normal, there is no need to rush him.
If the payment progress is slow, just call me, your uncle. I can still support him!
These are the children’s future achievements!”
The eldest brother Wang Sheng glared at his wife and said:
“You are the only one who is bothering me.
If North Korea has to intervene in such matters, isn't that like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito?
What can that kid do in the future?" Sister-in-law Huang Ling said nervously:
"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that they asked Wencheng to ask for the money, and Wencheng felt sorry for Yuan Chao."
The eldest brother Wang Sheng said:
“That’s what I meant!
Yuan Chao is my younger brother. Don’t you know what kind of personality he has?
If something really happens, will he just stand by and watch?
This disrupts his company's investment rhythm!"
Miao Cui said:
"Alright, alright, we are all family, why are you talking about different things? Can't family members tell the truth?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Mom is right, there is no point in arguing about these words.
I think you guys should hurry up my nephew's marriage!"
As soon as this was said, my younger sister Wang Li interrupted and said:
"Xiao Zhong said that a provincial leader has taken a liking to Wencheng, but the kid feels that his career is not yet complete and that being in a relationship would delay his career. This makes me anxious!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng said:
"Is this true? You didn't tell me?"
Wang Lidao:
"Will it be useful to tell you?
When you were with your sister-in-law, it was your second brother who kicked you out, right?
This child looks exactly like you back then!"
Wang Sheng's face turned red because of what his little sister said.
Sister-in-law Huang Ling smiled and said:
"Little sister, aren't you poking your big brother in the lungs with what you said?"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"Have you seen other people's girls?
If it's appropriate, I'll go there to inspect the project and invite this guy to have a meal with me. I'll force him to drink water!"
As he said this, he raised his hand and pressed downwards, as if he was really trying to press the bull's head to make it drink water.
Wang Lidao:
“That’s not the case, but Xiao Zhong said that compared to what I had back then, I thought, I wasn’t that bad back then, right?
Wait for me to talk to him and ask him to ask for the photo.
This is a major life event, and there can be no ambiguity."
Second sister-in-law Qin Jingru finally found an opportunity to interrupt and said with a smile:
“In our Wang family, the men are handsome and the women are pretty.
Our mother is over 70 years old, but she still looks like a lady from a noble family!
Our dad is even more amazing. Whenever he goes out to buy groceries, the old lady always takes the initiative to talk to him.
Look at the Korean Aid Movement. He was already a grandfather, and people would believe him no matter how big or small the person was.
What a beautiful daughter Wang Li would have had when he was young!
Big brother, big sister-in-law, if Wencheng doesn't like him, I will let our Weidong do it!"
Wang Weidong also graduated last year, but his father, Wang Heping, wanted his son to go into business because serving the people was too difficult and involved too much work.
Wang Sheng is in business, and Wang Wencheng wants to be in politics.
Wang Heping is in politics, and Wang Weidong is in business.
The brothers Wang Sheng and Wang Heping have exactly opposite expectations for their children.
Qin Jingru's words praised everyone in the room, and her words were quite beautiful.
Wang Li covered his mouth and laughed:
"Okay, they are all my nephews, their family backgrounds are not different, and their ages and academic achievements are similar. We can't let the good things go to outsiders!"
Huang Ling said anxiously:
"Hey, Jingru, you can't do this, you have to let Weidong help his brother!
Weidong is like your second uncle, active and lively, so you two won’t have to worry about this in the future.”
Wang Sheng also echoed:
"Yeah, in my company, there are so many girls who want to throw themselves into his arms!
I am so afraid, so afraid, that one day you will be notified that you are going to be a grandmother!"
Since Wang Weidong is preparing to go into business, he will naturally learn from his uncle's company first. After studying for a period of time and mastering some basic business application knowledge, he will go south to try his luck. At that time, he may ask Wang Yuanchao to take care of him.
Qin Jingru said quickly:
"Oh, my big brother, I'm entrusting the child to you, please help take care of it.
How scary were the rumors a few years ago?
We can't let him mess around!
His father was just a talkative person, but he was honest at heart!"
Wang Weidong was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything. What the elders said was too scary. Besides, he didn't do anything wrong.
I wanted to slip away, but I was afraid that if I made any move, I would only stand out, so I had to continue playing ostrich: You can't see me, just chat about your things.
Only the two little kids, Meng Ziyi and Wang Sen, were carefree. They just ran away and went back to their rooms to watch cartoons. No one cared about them today!
The family just chatted like this. There were so many children and they could just talk slowly.
Zhu Lin didn't talk. Firstly, her children were young, and secondly, Wang Yuanchao had very few opportunities to chat with them, unlike her, who could talk a lot when she got home.
So she started to order food.
There are many people in the family, cooking is too tiring, and eating out is too ostentatious, so usually the hotel is asked to deliver the food. For some dishes, the chef even has to come and prepare them on site.
When everything was almost ready, she said:
"It's time to eat. If you have anything to say, let's continue chatting at the dinner table!
Come on, come on, the west table is for the youngsters, and we, the elders, can sit at the east table!
Xiaocao, go call your two younger brothers to come over for dinner, they are going crazy watching TV!"
Although not all the family members are here, one table cannot accommodate them all, so two tables would be more spacious.
Wang Yuanchao came over, Zhu Lin came over, and Xiaocao naturally came over as well.
But like her cousins, she just sat there with her head locked and listened, hoping that the adults would just talk about adults' things and not get into trouble.
Hearing his stepmother's call, he felt relieved immediately. He said "Oh", got up and went to the room to call his two younger brothers to come out for dinner.
Zhu Lin is not her biological mother, and she is her father’s wife in the mainland, so she is her stepmother. Her aunt also told her that it’s okay to just call her mom!
So Zhu Lin treated her well.
Everyone sat at the table and started eating and drinking.
We continued the unfinished topic and talked about children.
Wang Yuanchao said:
“Xiaocao will graduate next year, and I plan to send her abroad to study.
Wenhong, Baodong, do you have any ideas? Wherever you want to study abroad, uncle will send you there! "
Wenhong is the eldest brother’s daughter, and Baodong is the second brother’s second son.
The eldest sons on both sides started working right after graduation and did not pursue further studies, so Wang Yuanchao asked the second sons on both sides.
Wang Wenhong said:
"Uncle San, wherever Xiaocao goes, I'll go with him. We can still take care of each other!"
She wanted to go out and take a look.
The Wang family lives in the mainland, and she is the only girl. She enjoys a very privileged status at home on weekdays. However, her parents are a little worried about her going out to see the world, so as soon as her third uncle said so, she spoke first without waiting for her parents to say anything.
Sure enough, her mother Huang Ling said:
"You want to go abroad. Are you better at English or Russian? How can you go abroad if you can't even speak Russian well?"
Wang Sheng also said:
"Your study is just like that. If you really want to study well, I have no objection.
Besides, foreign countries are just so-so. Your grandfather said that when he turns 70, we will all go to Boro to have a visit."
Wang Yuanchao said:
“The language is not good because there is no environment to speak it.
If she really gets there, she will have to talk. Otherwise, what will she eat? What will she drink? How will she talk to people? She will be suffocated to death."
It would be great if his daughter and her cousins could go together so that they could take care of each other, because he himself has limited time and cannot take care of everyone.
As for what my eldest niece learns or does not learn, does it matter?
It's an eye-opener!
As soon as Wang Yuanchao said this, Wang Wenhong immediately became confident and said:
"Uncle San is right. The knowledge in our books is all dumb English. When I get out there, I will definitely be able to learn it well. Didn't I learn Cantonese very quickly when I was in Hong Kong?
What are you doing? I don't know! "
As he spoke, he also showed off a few words in Cantonese.
Before Huang Ling could say anything, Wang Sheng pulled his wife aside and said to Wang Baodong, Wang Heping's son:
"Your uncle asked you where you want to study abroad. It's very useful to go out and see more."
Wang Baodong looked at his biological mother Qin Jingru, then looked at his eldest brother Wang Weidong, and finally said:
"I'm with my sisters."
Wang Wenhong is one month older than Xiaocao, and Wang Baodong is half a year younger than both of them.
Qin Jingru said:
"As for your mother, she doesn't understand anything. She only knows that when your third uncle speaks, you should listen to him first, then your eldest uncle and your father, and finally your mother.
Your brother didn't get a chance to get out, you should cherish the opportunity given by your uncle!"
I have to say that after following Wang Heping for these years, Qin Jingru's words have become more and more pleasant to the ear. It can only be said that the closer you are to the red, the redder you are. In the original drama, this woman followed Xu Damao, and she spoke without thinking. How could she be at her current level?
Wang Weidong said:
"But when my uncle and I go to Guangzhou to attend the Canton Fair, we will have the opportunity to visit Hong Kong!"
Wang Yuanchao said to Xiaocao:
"Think carefully about where you are going to study abroad. Now, your cousins are all going to go with you. You have a huge responsibility!"
My cousin is naturally Xu Baoguo.
Xiao Cao swallowed the food in his mouth and said:
"I know. I'll discuss it with them and we'll make a democratic decision. There's still a year left!"
The family ate and chatted together. After the meal, grandpa and grandma went to take a nap, and everyone dispersed.
Elderly people should pay attention to their health.
Zhu Lin was going to send Xiaocao home first, but Xiaocao said she had made an appointment with her cousin Wang Wenhong to go shopping, and asked her cousin Wang Baodong to carry bags for her. After thinking about it, he called his cousin Xu Baoguo, so that they could go shopping together and discuss things.
Zhu Lin stuffed some money into Xiaocao's pocket and told her to be careful.
Then he drove Wang Sen, Wang Yuanchao, Wang Li and Meng Ziyi back to the community where they lived together.
My eldest brother and second brother live in the same neighborhood as my parents-in-law, so they can just walk home.
