Chapter 158 The Hundred Days Banquet
After Cai Zhiliang went back in the evening, he told Zhao Baoxiu that Huo Xinxin came to see him.
"I'll go take a look in two days. Yueting is also angry this time. Just leave it alone." Zhao Baoxiu pointed at Cai Zhiliang and said: "Previously, Yueting said something that you shouldn't bring with you on New Year's Day.
Xinxin went to Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City. Now it’s better, Xinxin was stunned.”
"Why are you bringing this up again? I've said it many times. It was caused by Xinxin's friend surnamed Liang, and it has nothing to do with me. I even persuaded her at that time, otherwise she wouldn't be majoring in film and television production.
It’s about acting. Majoring in film and television production allows you to work as a producer or editor, but being an actor is two different things.” At this point, Cai Zhiliang asked curiously: “Why is Aunt Li’s reaction so big this time? What is the reason?
?”
If it were just for Huo Xinxin and the film and television production major, both passports would not be confiscated. Li Yueting is not an illiterate who has never studied and has little knowledge.
"Back then, Grandma Xinxin was also famous in Henan opera. The social atmosphere at that time was a low-class profession, but she was a woman. She was lonely all her life and died early." Zhao Baoxiu sighed and said: "Everything is fate, even the slightest bit.
It’s not up to anyone.”
"Why haven't you heard of it before?" Cai Zhiliang asked: "Then what happened that year and left a shadow? Tell me."
"Sheng Sheng passed away around the time he was born. How could you have heard of these old stories when you were so young at that time?" Zhao Baoxiu glared at Cai Zhiliang and said, "I'm just a miserable person, what can I say? In short,
Don't get involved."
Cai Zhiliang said: "I have been suspected before I got involved. If Auntie knows that Xinxin went to see me again today, and something happens again, I might be the instigator."
"Okay, go to bed if you have nothing to do." Zhao Baoxiu just reminded, "Don't forget the 100-day banquet the day after tomorrow."
Cai Mingle gave birth to a daughter later this year, who should be the youngest child of Cai Zhiliang's generation, named Xiaoqi. However, Xiaoqi was born too early, not yet full term, so she was very thin, weighing less than four pounds.
The 100-day banquet is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and Cai Mingle sent invitations early to make up for the shortcomings of the full moon.
On the day of the 100-day banquet, Cai Zhiliang and Zhao Baoxiu met the youngest sister again, but she was not as big as when Zhou Yu was born.
"Third uncle." Cai Zhiliang saw Cai Minghe and talked about Gu Changliang's incident, saying, "I didn't expect it to be like this."
"Yes, Gu Changliang was also a man back then. He failed to investigate for a moment and was threatened by this old guy Huang Biao, and ended up like this." Cai Minghe also shook his head and sighed, saying: "I went to visit him in prison a few days ago, and from now on
, no one owes anyone anything.”
In Gu Changliang's case, he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Considering that he was nearly fifty years old, it was not certain whether he would be able to escape alive. Cai Minghe had been fighting with Gu Changliang for ten years, and he was a little sad about his current situation.
"At least I saved his life. The rest depends on God's will." Cai Zhiliang is not that sad about spring and autumn, and he and Gu Changliang are not on good terms with each other. It would be nice if he doesn't stab him in the back.
"That's fine." Cai Minghe shook his head, turned and left, having nothing to say to his nephew.
Cai Meiqi was still very considerate this time and brought her baby son over to make Cai Mingle happy. Cai Zhiliang was very interested in children who neither cried nor fussed. He took him over and took a look. He was heavy. Cai Zhining, Cai Meizhi and other people were surrounding him.
Especially Cai Meizhi, she plays like her own toys, which makes Cai Zhiliang feel very sad for Cai Zhimian. After thinking about it, he knows how difficult it is for Cai Zhimian every day, but he still likes to cling to the little sister.
Zhou Yu soon stopped giving face, grinned loudly, and started crying.
"What are you doing?" Cai Meiqi heard her son's cries of grievance and hurriedly came out and took her son away.
"Brother, it's all the fault of the second brother. It's him who pissed off the eldest nephew." Cai Meizhi, the villain, complained first, and it was Cai Zhining's responsibility.
Cai Zhihao patted Cai Meizhi on the head with a smile, waved to Su Yue, but heard Cai Xun's cry.
"A Liang, come..."
Cai Zhiliang sighed secretly, and was about to avoid it, but was stopped by Cai Xun. Maybe he shouldn't have come. Although the people who were with Cai Xun only knew one or two, they had Greed's name a few days ago.
It seems that he still feels that he is easy to talk about. Otherwise, the annual export value of Hong Kong's garment industry is more than 50 billion. Is Donglai Trading House's export value worthy of such attention?
"Grandpa Chen, Uncle Li, Mr. Liu..." Cai Zhiliang walked over and said hello to those he knew first, and the rest just nodded.
"This is Qiu Tao from Dafa Textile Factory..." Cai Zhiliang was eager to say hello and leave. Cai Xun also introduced Cai Zhiliang in detail.
"Mr. Cai is young and promising, and he has done great things. I have long wanted to meet him, but he has never been able to do so." Qiu Tao said with a smile: "Donglai Trading Company is a member of the Textile Association, and President Chen has always had
The invitation was sent to your place, but Mr. Cai was never invited. Today I finally got my wish."
"I had planned to visit Chairman Chen for a long time, but we just had some disagreements." Cai Zhiliang said with a smile: "I heard that Chairman Chen invested in two textile factories in Fujian last month. I wonder if he has come back recently?"
Since we want to talk, let’s start with Chairman Chen. If the sky falls, there will be a tall man who can hold it up. Aren’t we going to raise prices? So let’s start with Chairman Chen. Where will it be Donglai Trading Company’s turn?
The words had already been deadlocked, but it was Chen Yonghang who spoke, saying: "A-Liang, I'm going to be an old man today. For the sake of the friendship between the two families, I'd like to remind you."
"You said."
"Look at the current situation in the mainland. Many colleagues who originally invested northward have withdrawn to Hong Kong one after another because they are worried about repeating the same mistakes made thirty years ago." Chen Yonghang said about the current situation: "The supply of goods from Donglai Trading House and
The factories are all in the mainland, and we will be like a tree without roots and water without a source, and we will have to rely on the concerted efforts of colleagues in the textile association."
This is not wrong. After all, the mainland has already started to debate whether to be a capitalist or a socialist. It will take two or three years to calm down. However, these old people who have experienced the wave of public ownership after liberation are naturally extremely vigilant.
, I guess Cai Xun also has some concerns.
In recent years, Hong Kong's garment industry has faced competition from Italy in the high-end field, while the low-end industry has faced the rise of the mainland. Under the pressure from both sides, the most difficult thing is that these garment factories with little say in the industry have a backlog of products.
It's already very serious, so they are different from those at Luo Che International. All they need is orders from Donglai Trading House. Perhaps they feel they have an advantage, but there is a hint of threat in their words.
"Mr. Chen, you are all seniors, and you were all enterprising people back then. You managed to carve out a niche in the encirclement and suppression campaigns of Europe, the United States and Japan. What did you rely on? Now that the cost advantage of the mainland is more obvious, this should have been done long ago.
It seems that everyone here is planning it, right? Today is different from the past, the times have changed, and our thinking must keep up."
After all, Cai Xiaoqi is the protagonist today. Cai Zhiliang said: "We are ready to have a banquet. Please come to your seats."
Although they were still close to each other, that was all. Cai Zhiliang had no intention of being a good person. When he heard someone calling for the table to be opened, he exchanged a few words and went to his seat. As for what these people planned, it was none of his business.
Something happened.
"A few days ago, Lang De and I visited Hang Lung Bank. You already know that, right?" The people at the same table with Cai Zhiliang were all Cai's children and cousins. Su Yue and Cai Zhiliang were the eldest, sitting on the south side.
Location.
"Yes." Cai Zhiliang nodded and said: "Citibank's global business outlets are necessary for Hang Lung Bank as a commercial bank."
