Chapter 568 【Giant Banquet】
A big event will happen on Hong Kong Island in August;
That is, Wu Guangyao's eldest son, Wu Xianshuo, will marry Fang Susu, the eldest daughter of Lei Dun security boss Fang Geer.
The influence of the Wu family today is far beyond the ability of the Li Chaoren family in the past;
Only from the data on how many Hong Kong Island citizens are working for the Wu family, it can be straightforwardly explained;
According to a media survey, there are 250,000 people working in companies and affiliated companies under the Wu family on Hong Kong Island;
You must know that there are only 4.5 million people on Hong Kong Island at this time, and excluding those who don’t have to go to work and those who don’t work, less than 1 million people have jobs (not including self-employed, public officials, and farmers);
In other words, citizens who work for the Wu family account for 25% of Hong Kong’s employment rate;
Possibly, this data is still a bit conservative;
After all, it is impossible for the media to find out every company in the Wu family;
is like Leidun Security and Heaven and Earth. Essentially, it still belongs to the Wu family.
What role Lei Dun security has played in the Wu family all the time, Hong Kong Islanders are the clear ones;
Leidun Security is not so much an international security company as it is the Jinyiwei of the Wu family;
Nowadays, the eldest son of the Wu family married the princess of Lei Dun Security, which naturally further confirms those legends.
And the reputation of Thunder Shield Security on Hong Kong Island is very good;
Although it is called "black and white takes all", it is loved by the rich;
Even ordinary citizens have a good impression of Thunder Dun security;
It turned out that Lei Dun Security was responsible for the security tasks of Wu Guangyao's companies;
If a worker is blackmailed and blackmailed, Thunder Shield Security will come forward;
Not only can the loss be recovered, but also the safety of the workers can be guaranteed;
Even if the employee’s family members are harassed by gangsters, Leidun Security can assist in handling;
Because of this, the workers in Wu Guangyao’s companies have a sense of superiority;
Earn money, and guarded by bodyguards!
Wu Xianshuo is now more than 24 years old and has reached the age of marriage. The important thing is that Wu Guangyao and his wife also want to hug their grandson;
Fang Susu is only 20 years old now, and one year before graduating from the University of Hong Kong;
Originally, Wu Guangyao and his wife didn’t mind waiting for another year, but they had no choice but to steal the forbidden fruit;
So, Wu Guangyao and Fang Ge'er simply discussed and decided to get married first;
As for Fang Susu’s studies, it will not be affected;
After getting married, go to school as usual and finish school;
Even if you can’t go to school every day, the University of Hong Kong will issue a degree certificate to Fang Susu with Wu Guangyao.
"Plus size!"
Hearing the boss’s words, Burj Al Arab CEO Glass sighed inwardly that he still underestimated the boss’s luxury life;
In other words, I still don’t know enough about Chinese living customs.
It turned out that Wu Guangyao chose to hold the wedding of his son Wu Xianshuo at the Burj Al Arab Hotel;
Just now, Burj Al Arab CEO Grasse confidently passed the banquet menu discussed by Burj Al Arab hotel management;
For this banquet menu, Glaster intended to go to the Shangri-La Hotel for advice, but he did not expect the boss to be satisfied all at once.
After saying ‘plus size’, Wu Guangyao was afraid that Glass, an Englishman, would still not understand that he felt a sense of luxury because of his son’s joy of getting married;
Therefore, Wu Guangyao told Glass bluntly: "For banquets, at least a table of more than 30,000 Hong Kong dollars must be met, and it must be a combination of Chinese and Western. The Chinese food at Shangri-La Hotel is relatively well-known, so you can coordinate and let Shangri-La Hotel’s The chef came to help."
Glass heard a table of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, the muscles on his face couldn't help but move twice;
You should know that Burj Al Arab is known as a ‘seven-star hotel’, and as the CEO of Burj Al Arab, Glass believes that he has a thorough understanding of luxury;
But, just today, the boss taught himself a lesson!
The wedding banquet menu at Burj Al Arab is divided into three grades, namely 3888 HKD, 5888 HKD, 8888 HKD;
Glass discussed with a group of colleagues for a long time, only to come up with the standard of 15,888 Hong Kong dollars per table;
You should know that the per capita salary on Hong Kong Island is only HK$1,200. This table is enough for a white-collar worker to struggle for a year.
A table of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars has doubled this level!
Xingyao Hotel Management has a complete global procurement system. Wu Guangyao is not worried that the standard of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars per table will not be met;
If most markets use air freight to Hong Kong, the price will naturally rise a lot!
Glass said: "Yes, BOSS! I will make arrangements right now to ensure that your relatives and friends can taste world-class cuisine!"
Wu Guangyao nodded, and said, “The wedding banquet preparation team must keep in touch with us at all times, and be foolproof!”
Glass took the lead and slowly exited the box!
Fang Ge’er and his wife and Fang Susu couldn’t help but secretly smacked their tongues when they heard Wu Guangyao had ordered the banquet to 30000 tables;
Especially Li Xiao, he and his husband Fang Ge'er made a strong statement beforehand, saying that the Fang family will also pay part of the expenses of the banquet, so that people should not underestimate the Fang family;
Well, Fang Ge'er's annual income is also more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, plus these years of investment, even if there is no assets of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, it is very close;
When I heard that a table of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, Li Xiao began to retreat;
It's not that I can't afford it, but it's a bit reluctant!
Still Fang Ge'er said: "Master, this money can't let you all out, we will get a part too!"
Li Xiao suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and millions of them went out!
Wu Guangyao, as usual, said casually: "You are young."
I wanted to say, "You kid and I are polite or something, Wu Guangyao thinks about it wrong, he will soon become a son and daughter in-laws, how can he take care of the feeling of taking care of his daughter-in-law!"
So, Wu Guangyao quickly changed his words: "What are you polite, you have helped me make so much money over the years, can you still make this small amount of money?"
Brother Fang stopped talking, but felt a little sad in his heart. This young master also became polite with himself!
Next, everyone discussed other matters needing attention;
is different from after the millennium. At this time, the wedding banquet is basically discussed by the adults, and the two juniors can only listen to it.
Wu Guangyao said: “I ordered 500,000 Hong Kong dollars worth of flowers in the Netherlands. If you need to decorate your house, you can come to the Burj Al Arab hotel to get some directly! Don’t worry, I ordered a lot!”
Hong Kong does not produce flowers, Wu Guangyao has to air transport from abroad, the price is naturally expensive!
Fang Susu heard this, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but grab the hand of Wu Xianshuo next to him;
Wu Xianshuo's behavior is normal. Although his consumption has been restricted since he was a child, he still has a deep understanding of his father's extravagance.
"Master, this." Fang Ge'er wanted to say that it was too wasteful, but it was wrong to think about it. The Wu family married, that is the face of the Wu family, so I should save some words.
Wu Guangyao corrected and said: "I’m tired of the call of the young master! You should call my father-in-law, too. Don’t worry, you husband and wife. Fang Su has always come to our house, and that’s the princess of our Wu family!"
Lin Yueru also said: "Susu is the one I have seen since I was a child. She and Xianshuo can be a pair. I am most satisfied!"
Fang Ge'er and his wife were so happy to see that Wu Guangyao and his wife like their daughter so much!
Daughter is not only a high branch, but also very favored. This kind of marriage makes parents naturally happy.
While eating, everyone discussed other matters. Basically, Wu Guangyao and his wife were talking, and Fang Ge'er and his wife agreed;
No way, the level is too high, the two have not reached that level at all!
For example, Fang Susu’s wedding dress, Lin Yueru invited several fashion masters from Italy to measure Fang Susu’s figure in Hong Kong;
Then, all of them were sewn by hand, which took two months to sew;
If the price is concerned, 800,000 Hong Kong dollars or more;
Importantly, this is not a matter of money. These fashion masters are well-known in the world. Even if someone places an order, it is the person who placed the order and rushed to Italy to customize;
The reason why Lin Yueru invited to move is naturally because of some business dealings with these designers;
After all, Warren Tianlun and Armani, the two luxury goods of the Wu family, have gone to the world.
In addition to the wedding dress, there is also a crown, which is also designed after the fashion master measures the size;
The crown is inlaid with diamonds and rare gems, all provided by Lao Fengxiang Jewelry;
The price of this crown has exceeded the price of the wedding dress;
Of course, Fang Susu can collect it after wearing the crown.
As for the supply of drinks, Wu Guangyao and his wife also took some thoughts;
Red wine is very easy to solve. The red wine brand ‘Latour’ under the Wu family happens to be the supplier;
Baijiu took some thoughts, and Wu Guangyao commissioned Huarun’s Hong Kong director to purchase Maotai from the mainland;
Of course, Huarun is naturally willing to serve Wu Guangyao.
August 25th is a good day, and it is good to marry.
The decoration of the sailing hotel is beaming, with imported flowers everywhere, and even the billboards of the sailing hotel building are huge blessings.
In comparison, there are a large number of reporters, firefighting, public security, and Thunder shield security personnel outside the Sailing Hotel;
On the rooftop of the Burj Al Arab, two of the most advanced helicopters are parked.
Wu Guangyao and his wife, Wu Xianshuo and his wife greeted the VIP party at the entrance of the sailing hotel lobby;
A VIP came to the entrance of the hall and was warmly welcomed by Wu Guangyao and his wife.
The most ‘expensive’ guests are probably the Monaco King and his wife-Rainier and Grace.
"Thank you both for coming!" Wu Guangyao said happily.
Wu Guangyao knew many foreign senior officials and politicians, but when the Burj Al Arab Hotel opened, these people had already come;
Because it's just a son getting married, it's a private banquet, so there won't be too many politicians coming.
Rainier smiled and said: "Our couple and Mr. Wu have known each other for more than ten years and we are good friends! Good friends have happy events, and friends naturally want to congratulate them!"
Wu Guangyao expressed his thanks!
Although the relationship between everyone is good, there are some minor flaws;
However, both need to depend on each other, so I won’t mention it;
For example, Monaco hopes to use Wu Guangyao's reputation to enhance its national reputation, promote the development of tourism, and introduce capital to invest in Monaco; Wu Guangyao has also invested in Monaco over the years, and has retained a certain amount of shares in the beach.
After the Monaco king and his wife, another heavyweight came, and Wu Guangyao and his wife hurriedly greeted him;
"Father! Big Brother!" Wu Guangyao greeted with a smile.
It turned out that it was Wu Liren from Taiwan Island who took his eldest son and others to attend Wu Xianshuo’s wedding;
In fact, Wu Guangyao and his family in Taidao made contact more than ten years ago;
However, it's just that the feelings are not strong!
In these years, Wu Liren has long lost power, while Wu Guangyao has gained power in the 1950s;
So, it is nonsense to invest in Taiwan Island through the relationship of his father Wu Liren;
Relying on his prestige to invest in Taiwan, there is no need to pass through anyone;
I went to Taiwan Island by myself, and they were basically Xiao Jiang’s guests.
The reason why Wu Guangyao re-established a relationship with Wu Liren is because he has the strength and is not influenced by anyone, let alone Wu Liren.
As for her mother Zhou Xuefen, in her words, the feelings are long gone!
"Okay! I didn't expect Xianshuo to be married. I thought that when you got married back then, I couldn't make it; now that your eldest son gets married, I can finally participate in person!" said 72-year-old Wu Liren happily.
Wu Liren has always been upset, and wanted to see this son as a thorn in his eyes back then. He is not pleasing to the eye anyway, but now his achievements are so high and scary;
And the eldest son, whom I relied on, was frustrated in officialdom, and failed in business, which is really good luck.
Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "You are in good health, not to mention Xianshuo's wedding, it is my grandson's wedding, I also invite you!"
Wu Liren happily shook Wu Guangyao’s hand, and said emotionally: “Guangyao! I was sorry for you at the beginning. Now, how supportive you are to your brothers, you finally let them mix a little bit!”
Wu Guangyao's eldest brother Wu Guangsheng was a little embarrassed, thinking that at the beginning, he was the same as his father, and he was a mess of contempt for this succumbing younger brother;
Unexpectedly, Hedong for thirty years, Hexi for thirty years;
This hasn't been thirty years, and after only three years of separation, this younger brother has developed!
In the early 1950s, the Wu family on Taiwan Island still had a sense of superiority towards Wu Guangyao in Hong Kong;
But after the mid-1950s, the Wu family in Taiwan finally realized that having money is the last word;
What's more, Wu Guangyao in Hong Kong also has the right!
After a simple greeting, the lady of etiquette invites the Wu family of Taiwan Island to take a seat, and Wu Guangyao and the new couple naturally need to continue to welcome guests;
"Glory, congratulations!" "Glory, congratulations!"
Famous businessmen from Hong Kong and Macau came one after another, He Xian, He Shanheng, Zheng Yutong
Wu Guangyao also greeted them one by one. Everyone clicked until the end, and took the initiative to separate when they greeted him, knowing that Wu Guangyao was very busy today.
Finally, after Hong Kong Governor Merriho and senior government officials came, and the time had reached 11 o'clock, Wu Guangyao and his wife walked into the hall.
The whole wedding banquet, because there are too many guests, it can only be held in two halls in the end;
The hall that can accommodate 800 people is basically full;
Even in the hall with 500 people, more than 200 people were seated.
After a set of ceremonies, the banquet officially begins!
Undoubtedly, although the guests are rich or expensive, they are still shocked by today's specifications!
Of course, the food and wine on the table may not shock everyone;
But the wear of Lin Yueru and Fang Susu is a bit exaggerated;
Lin Yueru only wears a necklace and a diamond ring, but if you know how to look at it, I’m afraid he will be shocked immediately;
A 32-carat pink diamond. The necklace is inlaid with a large blue gemstone. The price of these two jewels alone actually exceeds Fang Susu’s whole body.
Of course, although Fang Susu does not have a 30-carat diamond ring, the diamond ring in his hand also has a dozen carats;
The important thing is that Lin Yueru has pink diamonds, which is a bit rare.
Compared with two women, Wu Guangyao and Wu Xianshuo seem less "noble";
Even, Wu Guangyao does not have a piece of jewelry all over his body, and the watch on his hand is also a Seiko watch produced by Lao Fengxiang.
Wu Xianshuo also inherited the tradition of Wu Guangyao, not like wearing jewelry, but today, he still wears a gold ring with rubies inlaid on it.
The family is all online, rich and powerful, so that the guests who are toasted have a feeling of honor!
"Dear friends, thank you for joining the children's wedding!" Wu Guangyao walked to the table of the four major families in the previous life and said with a smile.
"Congratulations, it turned out to be a talented woman. I thought I had attended a glorious wedding back then. It was also a talented woman. She really has good family genes!" He Shanheng quipped.
After a brief remark, Wu Guangyao casually mentioned: "Brother Yutong, Brother Jiacheng, Brother Zhaoji, next time you partner for a big business, you should also consider Cheung Kong Holdings! I heard that you recently won two high-altitude developments in Queensway. Right, congratulations!"
Zheng Yutong smiled and said, "Isn't this afraid that Cheung Kong will look down on it!"
Li Zhaoji also agreed, but Li Chaoren didn’t know what to answer!
This time the partnership bid for the old fire-fighting land was led by Li Chaoren. Four families in the previous life and Hehe Real Estate participated;
Two Grade A office buildings can be built on this land, and it is expected to make a profit of 100 million!
Wu Guangyao is not jealous of the money, but a little jealous. These Cantonese people unite together and put themselves aside;
So, it is equivalent to reminding these people not to bully me in groups!
is getting messy, all big projects are swallowed by themselves!
Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "I really want to cooperate with you!"
Li Zhaoji smiled and said: "Well, next time you can dislike our project is small!"
Speaking of, the rise of Zheng Yutong and Li Zhaoji both have Wu Guangyao;
After all, one of them relied on He Shanheng, the other relied on He Tian, and borrowed a lot of money from Hang Seng Bank;
Without Wu Guangyao nodding his head, he would definitely not be able to borrow money.
Only Li Chaoren and Wu Guangyao, the two have only socialized a few times, they belong to the kind of superficial harmony, and they may have their own ideas!
After playing around, Wu Guangyao continued to take the newcomer to toast.
100 tables of guests, each table can only say one or two sentences, so they have to transition;
Even so, it is a couple of newcomers sighing in their hearts that the interpersonal relationship is too good, which is also a troublesome matter.
It took more than half an hour to toast, and everyone returned to the main table for dinner. At this time, the guests at some tables were almost full of food and drink.
And Wu Guangyao's family just started eating.
The wine is almost drunk, only the stomach is hungry!
The wedding banquet was held in perfect success with the sound of blessings!
After Wu Xianshuo got married, he moved out of No. 79 Deep Water Bay;
The new house of the couple is No.78 Deep Water Bay, which Wu Guangyao has already prepared.
Deep Water Bay Villa No. 78, in terms of floor space and construction cost, far exceed Deep Water Bay No. 79;
But since I am a newcomer, since I have to live in a new house!
Wu Guangyao has many mansions and land plots, enough to let the children and grandchildren in the main room have one set per person;
Two sets of Deep Water Bay, three sets of Repulse Bay, one set of Barker Road, and five sets of Mid-Levels. Clearwater Bay and Shek O also have a lot of land and old houses.
