Chapter 221 Engagement Ceremony Xiangjiang Celebrities Gather (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  In a situation like Mama Gu's, it's actually very simple to keep her from jumping off the building. You just need to pay back the money she lost and the money owed, and she won't be in the mood to jump off the building.

  Gu Chengxi naturally understood this truth, so when Chu Huan made a sound, Gu Chengxi immediately focused on Chu Huan.

   "Shao Huan, Shao Huan, I beg you, lend me some money, as long as you can lend me money, I can do anything!"

  At this time, in order to save his mother, Gu Chengxi no longer cared about anything.

  So, a responsible person will always take on more things for an irresponsible person!

  Mum Gu, who was standing on the rooftop in the distance and kept trying to jump down, but never dared to jump down, couldn't help but look at Chu Huan at this moment.

  Chu Huan looked at Gu Chengxi's begging look, smiled and said: "It's okay to borrow money, but my money is not blown by strong winds, so we should have a charter!"

  Gu Chengxi looked at Chu Huan's smile, and the expression that Chu Huan showed when he was interviewing Chu Huan on the ferry suddenly appeared in his mind.

  Gritting his silver teeth secretly, he suddenly said: "Okay, as long as you are willing to lend me the money, I promise you!"

  Chu Huan: "."

  What's the matter with this woman, she agreed before I said anything?

   "You agreed to what? Do you know what I'm going to say?" Chu Huan asked helplessly.

   Gu Chengxi said anxiously: "No matter what you say, I promise you!"

  Chu Huan felt that now was not the time to talk about these things. Since the other party had already agreed to him, there was nothing more to say.

In fact, during this period of time, Chu Huan has been thinking that the establishment of a newspaper office that Gu Chengxi said on the ferry before is still very reasonable. Although the newspaper office cannot earn much money, since he wants to increase his influence in Xiangjiang, then the hand There is a newspaper here, which is still very necessary.

   "Okay, since you have already agreed, then after I get engaged and come back from New York, come to the company to pick me up!"

   "Company?" Gu Chengxi didn't expect Chu Huan to be so good at playing, let him go to his company? Shouldn't this kind of thing be done at home or in a hotel?

   But Gu Chengxi, who was anxious to save his mother, didn't struggle too much. The company was the company, "Okay, I promise you!"

  Chu Huan looked at the time. Now that the matter has been resolved, he should go back with himself. That Mrs. Gu standing over there looks really annoying.

   "I'll ask your mother to figure out how much money you owe outside, and give me an accurate amount, and you don't have to worry about the rest!"

  After speaking, Chu Huan turned and left.

  Although Gu Chengxi is young, he still has abilities, especially with the perseverance of a reporter, so it should be no problem to manage a newspaper office.

   Besides, with the kindness of saving her mother, in a short time, this woman's loyalty should not be a problem.

  So it's good to spend some money and find someone you can trust to manage the newspaper office you are about to establish for yourself.

  After trying to understand all this, Chu Huan left here with Ma Jizu and others.

  Looking at Chu Huan's leaving back, Gu Chengxi hurriedly turned around and preached to his mother.

   "Mum, you heard that Huan Shao promised to help you pay back the money, so come back quickly!"

  Mother Gu asked tremblingly: "What did you promise Chu Huan just now?"

Gu Chengxi promised to sleep with him. Of course, it was impossible for Gu Chengxi to say such a thing, and he hurriedly said: "It's nothing, Huan Shao has always wanted to set up a newspaper and let me be the editor-in-chief, but I always He didn't agree, and now he just agreed to his request!"

  Mother Gu looked at Gu Chengxi suspiciously and asked, "Really?"

  Gu Chengxi nodded seriously: "Really, come back quickly!"

  With Gu Chengxi's 'lie', Gu's mother, who didn't have the courage to jump off the building, finally walked back, and then there was a flurry of wild jumps.

   After a long time, Gu's mother, Gu Chengxi, and Gu Xiaomei's mother and daughter returned to their home. Looking at the paint splashed on the door of the house, Gu Chengxi thought about her future and felt sad.

  But in order not to irritate his mother anymore, Gu Chengxi could only follow into the house with a forced smile.

   "Mum, how much money do you owe outside?"

  Gu Chengxi wanted to know an exact number, so that he could be sure how long he would stay by Chu Huan's side as his underground lover.

  1973, March 15th!

  Peninsula Hotel, Ballroom!

Chu Huan was dressed in a flamboyant white suit, his hair was combed meticulously, and he was handsome and handsome. Beside him, Cao Yunshang wore a red skirt with bare shoulders and a diamond crown shining brightly under the light. He was wearing it on his head. Mess.

   "Brother, you look so handsome today!"

  Zhong Xiaoqing also wore a princess dress today, dangling around Chu Huan's side.

  Chu Huan asked with a smile: "Wasn't that handsome brother before?"

  Zhong Xiaoqing blinked her big eyes and said: "I was handsome before, but today I am the most handsome!"

   "Qingqing, only your elder brother is handsome, isn't your elder sister pretty?" Cao Yunshang said with a smile, competing for favor.

   "Mom said, you can't call me sister anymore, you should call me sister-in-law!" Zhong Xiaoqing said cutely.

  Cao Yunshang's complexion was reddish.

  Chu Duanqing came over at this time, took Zhong Xiaoqing's hand, and said: "Okay, your brother and sister-in-law will be very busy today, don't disturb them!"

"Ok!"

  Zhong Xiaoqing preached like a kid.

   "There are guests over there, you two hurry up and say hello!"

  Chu Duanqing looked at Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang with a look of relief.

The two nodded. Today will be very busy. Although neither of them likes such an occasion very much, it is really not that they can do whatever they want at this time. Before the rules, you can only abide by the rules in this circle.

  On TV, the heroine doesn’t like such occasions, and the scene where the hero leads her away can only appear on TV, if someone dares to do it in reality.

   will be laughed to death.

   "Uncle Jian, Uncle Tang!"

  Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang took the lead to meet Jian Yueqiang and Tang Jiqian.

  The two came very early.

Jian Yueqiang and Tang Jiqian both had smiles on their faces at this time, and Jian Yueqiang even laughed loudly: "A talented man and a beautiful woman make a perfect couple. Once you get engaged, you will be an adult. You should refrain from doing the inconspicuous things before. !"

  Cao Yunshang pursed her lips and chuckled, Chu Huan looked embarrassed.

   "Uncle Jian, Uncle Tang, I have already apologized to you two before, so it's over, okay?"

  The acquisition of Jiahu Textile has been completely settled, and Chu Huan also found some time to discuss with Jian Yueqiang, Tang Jiqian and others.

  Tang Jiqian joked: "It's so easy to get over there, don't you know how much we worried about you?"

   What Chu Huan could say was to apologize again.

   "Okay, you don't have to entertain us people. There will be many guests here today, and some of them are busy with you!"

  Jian Yueqiang waved his hands and preached.

  Tang Jiqian also said: "Ah Huan, we will be traveling together from now on. When you are done with the work of this period, come over and let's have a good chat about the future!"

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Tang!"

   Jian Yueqiang and Tang Jiqian turned and left to find their old friends.

   "A Huan, Yun Shang, you two come here!"

  Cao Wenjin's voice came from beside him.

  Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang hurried over.

  Cao Wenjin introduced the Chinese-faced man in front of them, "This is your Uncle Dong!"

   Dong Haoyun of OOCL is one of the four new generation ship kings of Xiangjiang.

  Chu Huan didn't expect him to come too.

  However, Chu Huan didn't think too much, and called Cao Yunshang together: "Hello, Uncle Dong!"

  Dong Haoyun entered the shipping industry in the 1930s, and is the first among the four major ship kings to enter the shipping industry.

   "Haha, seeing you young people, we really can't accept our old age!" Dong Haoyun laughed and said.

  Chu Huan didn’t believe Dong Haoyun’s claim that he was old. Among the four ship kings, Dong Haoyun was the most competitive person.

When the media called Bao Yugang the world's ship king, Dong Haoyun publicly expressed his disapproval, saying that Bao Yugang's cargo ships were mostly in cooperation with HSBC Bank, and could not be regarded as his personal ships, so Bao Yugang could not be called What is the world's ship king.

  The whole world knows that when the shipping industry enters the cold winter, Dong Haoyun still held the launching ceremony of the ship with great fanfare, vowing to surpass Bao Yugang and become the real world shipping king.

  How could such a person admit that he is not as good as a young man!

   "Uncle Dong is humble. Your all-container business is the first of its kind in Hong Kong. It is our younger generations who should ask you for advice!"

  Dong Haoyun’s OOCL was the first pioneer in Heung Kong’s container era. In 1969, it even started a full container business, converting 7 old cargo ships into container ships and sailing to the west coast of North America once a week!

  This matter has always been Dong Haoyun’s proud work, and now that Chu Huan said it, he also said with great joy: "I didn’t expect that you, A Huan, know so much about the shipping industry!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I think even if you don't understand, you can definitely know these things!"

  This is an indirect illustration of Dong Haoyun's achievements.

   Just as Chu Huan and Dong Haoyun were flattering each other, Cao Yunzu came over and whispered to Cao Wenjin: "Mr. Bao is here!"

  Mr. Bao is naturally another Xiangjiang ship tycoon, Bao Yugang.

Although Cao Wenjin is also one of the ship kings and is in a competitive relationship with these people, Cao Wenjin has always been a low-key person and rarely competes with his peers. He just focuses on the development of his own company, so he and Xiangjiang's The relationship between several ship kings has always been very good.

  Dong Haoyun heard that Bao Yu had just arrived, and said with a smile: "I'll go say hello to some old friends first, let's talk later!"

   After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

   Cao Wenjin looked at Dong Haoyun, smiled, and said nothing.

  Bao Yugang walked over under the guidance of Cao Yunzu at this time.

  Looking at this, now the titular richest man in Xiangjiang, Chu Huan also smiled.

Why in name, because in the minds of Xiangjiang people at this time, the real richest man should be Huo Tsar, but the relationship between Huo Tsar and Gui Lao is not very good, and he has been targeted for doing business, so he is very low-key now, but Low-key doesn't mean weak.

   On the contrary, it is precisely because she is too powerful that she needs to be low-key.

   "Brother Bao, don't come here unharmed!" Cao Wenjin smiled and said to Bao Yugang.

  Among the four great ship kings, Cao Wenjin is the youngest!

  Bao Yugang laughed loudly and said: "I'm fine, I'm fine. I've often heard the name of Brother Cao, your son-in-law, Chenglong Kuai, these days. Today is such a day worth celebrating. I mean, I want to come here to be happy!"

Bao Yugang entered the shipping industry when he was 55 years old. At that time, Bao Yugang invested 700,000 US dollars and bought a 27-year-old coal-burning ship with a load of 8,700 tons. He named the coal-burning ship afterward. For the "Jin'an", by the end of 1956, Bao Yugang's global shipping already had 7 ships through mortgage loans.

At that time, the bank responsible for the loan to Bao Yugang was HSBC, and Sundars was in charge of this matter. By 1962, Sundars had become the head of HSBC, but Sundars had resigned last year and took over. It was Sha Ya who came first, and Shen Bi came after Sha Ya.

   "Young people, young people are awesome, and the operation of acquiring Jiahu Textile is even more amazing!"

  Bao Yugang preached to Chu Huan with a smile on his face.

Chu Huan continued to maintain a modest speech: "Uncle Bao is amazing. What my nephew has done is far from what you have achieved, Uncle Bao. Uncle Cao has always told me that if it wasn't for Bao Uncle, you broke the precept of Xiangjiang Bank not to lend money to the shipping company, and now it is impossible for everyone to achieve what they are now."

   The smile on Bao Yugang's face became brighter and brighter. This matter has always been the one thing Bao Yugang is most proud of.

   "Brother Cao, I regret it now, such an excellent young man, why did your Cao family find out first, I have four daughters!"

  Bao Yugang had no children in his life, only four daughters, and the eldest daughter married Austrian lawyer Helmert Sokman in 1969, who later became Su Haiwen.

  This year, his second daughter will also marry Wu Guangzheng, a classmate he met in Xiangjiang in New York. Wu Guangzheng later inherited most of Bao Yugang's property.

  However, after Wu Guangzheng returned to Xiangjiang this year, he did not immediately join Bao Yugang’s Global Shipping. Instead, he went to work at North American Chase Bank in Xiangjiang, and he would not join Global Shipping until 1975.

  The future husband of the third daughter is the Japanese architect Shinichiro Watanabe, and the two later settled in New York.

  The fourth daughter will marry Zheng Weijian, a Chinese-American cancer expert in the future, and she will also settle in North America!

  Cao Wenjin laughed and said, "Brother, I can't envy such things!"

  The two joked, and Bao Yugang also went to chat with his friends, while Chu Huan continued to accompany Cao Wenjin to entertain guests.

   "Uncle, why haven't you seen Uncle Guo?"

  Chu Huan was talking about Guo Henian!

  Cao Wenjin smiled and said: "He, the company has something to do, he called me yesterday, and he will come later today!"

  Chu Huan nodded.

  Guests came in one after another, and after a while, accompanied by Zhao Shizeng, Zhao Congyan, the last of the four Xiangjiang ship kings, also came!

In a corner of this reception, Bao Tianming, Chen Haichao, Liu Pingkui, and Zhu Xiaozhao also came. They watched Chu Huan talking and laughing happily with those big figures who could only be seen on TV or newspapers from a distance. It looks a little complicated.

   "What? Envious?"

  Bao Tianming was the first to react.

   Liu Pingkui was the first to answer: "It's not envy, it's joy. The more powerful Brother Huan is, the happier we will be."

  Chen Haichao didn't speak, but nodded seriously.

  Zhu Xiaozhao's eyes fell more on Cao Yunshang who was beside Chu Huan. Cao Yunshang was so radiant tonight, and all the women in the whole ball were not as beautiful as her.

  Maybe this is the best match for Brother Huan in his life!

"But I found that Brother Huan is really sharp. On such an occasion, not only did we call here, but Li Xiaolong, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and others were also called here. You see how unnatural it is for them to sit there. .”

  Liu Pingkui smiled and preached to Bao Tianming and the others.

It is true that Li Xiaolong is the hottest movie star in Xiangjiang now, and it is true that thousands of fans cheer for him when he goes out, but on an occasion like today, even at the level of Li Xiaolong, among these people at the scene, he can only be a small Transparent.

   Li Xiaolong is like this, not to mention Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and others.

  So what Liu Pingkui said was not false at all. They sat on the other side, and they were indeed a little uncomfortable. Li Xiaolong was better, after all, he had a huge reputation, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and the others were a little dazzled.

   At this time, Hong Jinbao was extremely fortunate in his heart. He did not choose to leave the black and white images at the beginning. It turns out that what Chu Huan did was all fake.

   Now seeing Chu Huan chatting and joking with those first-class wealthy people in Xiangjiang, and thinking that Chu Huan invited himself to such an occasion, it would be a lie to say that he was not excited.

   "Ah Huan, I didn't expect amateurs to fool us professionals!"

  Li Xiaolong preached a little angrily. Thinking of what he did for Chu Huan, he told him not to rush to invest in his own movie. Only now did he realize that Chu Huan was just acting.

   "After the engagement ceremony is over, let him pay me well for whatever he says!"

  Listening to Li Xiaolong's complaints, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long looked at each other and smiled. They didn't have Li Xiaolong's mentality at this time, and they were still nervous.

   On the other side, Chu Huan was chatting with Cao Wenjin and Guo Henian who had just arrived. Cao Yunzu ran over again and said with a complicated expression, "Daddy, Qi Dezun from Hutchison International is here!"

  Chu Huan and the others looked at each other. Today's engagement ceremony between Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang, although many celebrities from Xiangjiang's business world came, but they were all Chinese businessmen, but Qi Dezun unexpectedly came.

  Cao Wenjin said in a low voice: "I passed the invitation to Qi Dezun, but I didn't expect him to actually come here in person."

  Guo Henian laughed and said, "It seems that A Huan left a deep enough impression on him last time!"

  Everyone at the scene knew that Guo Henian was talking about the previous bull fight.

   At this time, Qi Dezun came over. Although the current stock market crash has caused Qi Dezun a lot of losses, he is still smiling at this time.

   "Congratulations, congratulations, I am not late!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "The big class was joking, how could it be late, just right!"

  Qi Dezun laughed and said: "A Huan, this time you are famous in Xiangjiang!"

   "If Taipan hadn't kept his promise, I wouldn't have won so easily!" Chu Huan continued modestly.

Qi Dezun said with a smile: "When you made that request, A Huan, I knew that you would succeed, so I didn't believe the news that appeared a while ago, but now it's exactly as I guessed. like that."

  Jian Yueqiang, Tang Jiqian, and Bao Yugang, who were chatting not far away, saw Chu Huan talking and laughing happily with Qi Dezun, and all three of them showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

   "Since when did Ah Huan get so close to Qi Dezun?" Jian Yueqiang said in surprise.

   Tang Jiqian smiled and said, "You don't even know, how do we know!"

   Something suddenly came up in Bao Yugang's mind, and he said in shock: "You two, do you still remember the cattle war last year?"

  Jian Yueqiang and Tang Jiqian nodded at the same time. How could they not remember the most exciting business battle in Xiangjiang last year!

"When I was chatting with Sha Ya a few days ago, I heard from Sha Ya that after the end of the cattle war, Qi Dezun suddenly became one of the major shareholders of Hong Kong Land, and his shareholding has exceeded his share in the milk company. 190,000 shares of shares held!"

  Jian Yueqiang and Tang Jiqian showed a look of surprise.

   "You mean, Qi Dezun has already secretly bought the shares of Milk Company?" Tang Jiqian couldn't help asking.

  Jian Yueqiang said: "This is impossible. According to Qi Dezun's character, if he holds so many shares in the Milk Company, Qi Dezun must have started to fight back after Landmark initiated the acquisition!"

  Bao Yugang also said: "That's right, Sha Ya and I think so too. The extra 190,000 shares in Qi Dezun's hands should have been purchased after the Great Bull War broke out!"

  Tang Jiqian recalled the situation at that time and said: "This is impossible. There were not such a large number of stock transactions in the stock market at that time."

  Bao Yugang said: "I also thought at the time that Qi Dezun's milk company's stock can only be bought in the hands of individuals!"

  Jian Yueqiang looked at Bao Yugang in disbelief and asked, "You mean, Qi Dezun bought the 190,000 shares from Chu Huan?"

  Tang Jiqian immediately shook his head and said: "This is impossible, we can't just guess because Qi Dezun came today, maybe A Huan and Qi Dezun have cooperation that we don't know about!"

  Finally, Tang Jiqian couldn't help but said: "If that's the case, isn't A Huan too evil?"

  Jian Yueqiang chuckled, and said, "Aren't Ah Huan's performances considered monstrous?"

  Bao Yugang said: "It doesn't matter whether you are a real monster or not. Your nephew is destined to make a name for himself in Xiangjiang today!"

  Jian Yueqiang and Tang Jiqian also looked at each other and smiled, yes, no matter whether Chu Huan did it or not, in the current gloomy Xiangjiang, the engagement ceremony between Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang could have so many Xiangjiang celebrities.

   These people are not only here because of Cao Wenjin's face, but many of them are here because of Chu Huan.

   Qi Dezun continued to chat with Chu Huan for a few more words, and then went to find his friends.

  Guo Henian said at this time: "I'm afraid we can't hide the matter of the bull fight!"

Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. I didn't want Qi Dezun to tell the story at the time, so that Chu Tianxiao would not know. Now that Chu Tianxiao's troubles have been solved, others will know as well. "

   After finishing speaking, Chu Huan and the others laughed.

   But such a smile did not last for too long.

  Because this person walked in next, Chu Huan had a displeased expression on his face.

  Chu Duanjing came in gorgeously dressed.

   "This is Yunshang, she looks so beautiful, she is really a man and woman like our A Huan!"

  Chu Duanjing walked over with a smile all over his face, and spoke with a smile that didn't show anything.

  Everyone knew about the relationship between Chu Huan and other members of the Chu family. Seeing this, Cao Wenjin and the others left without saying anything. How to deal with the matter of the Chu family still depends on Chu Huan's own choice.

  Cao Yunshang, as Chu Huan's fiancée, naturally had no choice but to leave, and Chu Duanqing, who was at the side, also brought Zhong Xiaoqing over at this time.

   "Qingqing, why don't you call me when you see your aunt!" Chu Duanjing said to Zhong Xiaoqing affectionately.

  Zhong Xiaoqing hid behind Chu Huan, and timidly called out: "Auntie!"

  Chu Huan asked calmly, "What are you doing here?"

Chu Duanjing didn't seem to notice Chu Huan's indifference, and she still smiled and said: "A Huan, you are holding an engagement ceremony today, and I, as an aunt, will naturally come. We must not let others say that our Chu family No one!"

When Chu Huan was about to say something, Chu Duanqing gently tugged on Chu Huan's clothes. Chu Huan also understood that no matter what kind of thoughts the other party had when he came over, he couldn't get angry. Otherwise, he and the Cao family would become a joke.

   "Sister-in-law, please take care of this guest for me!"

   After Chu Huan finished speaking indifferently, he took Cao Yunshang to greet other guests.

   "Are you okay?" Cao Yunshang asked Chu Huan concerned.

  Chu Huan shook his head and said: "I have nothing to do, it should be Chu Duanjing who has something to do."

  Cao Yunshang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Chu Huan meant, "So she has lost a lot?"

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "It should be like this."

  Under the stock market crash, it is not so easy to be alone.

   While Chu Huan was chatting with Cao Yunshang, Bao Tianming and the others came over and asked with concern, "Brother Huan, are you okay?"

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong!"

   When the four of them heard what Chu Huan said, although they were still worried, they couldn't ask any more questions.

   "I definitely don't have time to talk to you guys today. After I come back from North America in a few days, let's get together again!"

  Chu Huan preached to them.

  Bao Tianming said: "Okay, you don't have to worry about us!"

  When Chu Huan was chatting with Bao Tianming and the others, Chu Duanjing was already sadly preaching to Chu Duanqing: "Little sister, you will help me this time no matter what you say!"
