Chapter 143 Going out in a hurry, no money in pocket
On the second floor, Chen Yi finally met Boss Li.
As he expected, when Boss Li saw him, he immediately had a black face, obviously feeling sorry for the one million he just lost down there.
Regarding this, Chen Yi didn't take it seriously, and followed Li Wenhui in a respectful manner and called him uncle, acting like a son-in-law.
Sure enough, after Boss Li heard him say 'uncle', his black face suddenly eased a lot.
Based on Chen Yi's current value, let alone lose one million, even if he loses ten million, he will only criticize him at most.
Of course, the premise is that Chen Yi's performance must satisfy him.
Looking at Chen Yi's outstanding talent, standing with his grandniece, even the He family siblings next to him were compared.
Boss Li was very satisfied, and waved to Chen Yi, "Come here, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Huo."
There is no title title, just three words 'Mr. Huo'.
"Mr. Huo" Chen Yi looked up at the person opposite Boss Li, and a familiar photo in his mind overlapped with the person in front of him. At the same time, the deeds of this boss also emerged in Chen Yi's mind.
The Huo Daheng in front of him, anyone who is familiar with Xiangjiang should know that Huo Daheng and the Huo family he belongs to have a detached status in Xiangjiang.
The first family of Xiangjiang, since the 1950s, is no longer one of the four major families, or the so-called Li Chaoren family, the head of the top ten richest people in later generations.
From the beginning to the end, the Huo family is the first family in the true sense of Xiangjiang. The special status of Huo Daheng and the Huo family comes from the close relationship established between Huo Daheng and the inland in the early days.
Speaking of Huo Daheng's fortune, we have to mention the real estate that we both love and hate.
In the 1950s, due to the rapid population growth and the rise of industry and commerce in Xiangjiang, the market demand for land and buildings became increasingly strong.
At that time, Daheng Huo judged the situation and started to operate the real estate industry. Among them, Daheng Huo pioneered the most famous management method of getting tiered pre-sale "off-plan" and installment payment.
I have to say that this move allows ordinary people to actually own a house of their own.
The development of Xiangjiang's real estate industry has driven the building materials industry, so Huo Daheng began to enter the seabed sand mining industry, and then became the "sea sand king" of Xiangjiang in one fell swoop.
The 1950s can be said to be the era of Huo Daheng. With his extraordinary courage and long-term vision, Huo Daheng's business scope covers real estate, construction, shipping, building materials, petroleum, department stores, hotels, restaurants, etc.
Of course, the investment in business is only to increase Huo Daheng's personal wealth. In this Xiangjiang society where the British rule, even if the Chinese are rich, their social status is very limited.
Therefore, Daheng Huo, with his bright eyes, set his sights on the inland.
As we all know, Huo Daheng is close to the inland, and belongs to different camps from the Li family, the four major families close to the British.
However, at this moment, Boss Li and Huo Daheng were able to drink tea together, talking and laughing, which surprised Chen Yi.
Finding Chen Yi staring at him endlessly, Huo Daheng was a little speechless: "Have you seen enough, little guy?"
Chen Yi came back to his senses in time, but subconsciously said: "Enough has been seen."
"Uncle Huo?" Chen Yi glanced at Boss Li with some doubts, and muttered in his heart, 'Shouldn't it be called Grandpa Huo? '
Based on age, Huo Daheng should be of the same generation as Li Wenhui's father, but whoever called Huo Daheng is awesome, even the older generation like Boss Li will not rely on the old to sell the old and call themselves the elders.
The difference between the two is only a teenager, and they are both in their fifties and sixties. If they really want to meet as elders, it is impossible for them to sit together and talk and laugh.
Having figured this out, Chen Yi didn't worry about these things any more. He honestly called Huo Daheng 'Uncle Huo'.
After shouting, Chen Yi felt relaxed all over, feeling as if he was hugging his thighs, "After calling uncle, he and Daheng Huo's son will be able to meet as equals in the future, otherwise he will really call someone who is only a few years older than himself." Old man uncle, that would really make him feel awkward. '
Huo Daheng took a careful look at Chen Yi, and then asked with a smile: "Little guy, are you interested in playing a table with some of us old guys?"
Chen Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then turned his attention to Boss Li.
Boss Li was a little stunned by Chen Yi's reaction. He didn't think that the other party was seeking his opinion, so he said, "Look at me?"
Chen Yi was a little embarrassed, and stammered: "Well, I am in a hurry to go out today, and I don't have any money in my pocket."
Boss Li: "..."
Boss Li's face darkened again when he heard Chen Yi's words, 'If you don't bring money, you don't bring money, what the **** are you talking about. '
With Chen Yi's current reputation and the value of Dafeng Toy Factory, if he wants to, he only needs one word, and the casino will naturally let him pay on credit.
But Chen Yi deliberately pretended not to understand, and only said that he had no money with him, without mentioning any credit.
Boss Li looked at Chen Yi's pitiful appearance, and secretly gritted his teeth. It was the first time he found out that this guy was really thick-skinned.
There was no other way, Boss Li had no choice but to ask He Youguang to prepare another one million chips for Chen Yi reluctantly.
Compared to one million Hong Kong dollars, it is really cheap to deepen the relationship between Chen Yi and Daheng Huo.
And Chen Yi also knew this, so he agreed to Huo Daheng's invitation without thinking about it. Even if Boss Li didn't give him money, he would take the initiative to ask the casino for credit.
What kind of friends do you make with your status? For a person like Huo Daheng, his poker friends are exactly the same as Boss Li.
In the following game, Chen Yi met many people, including the famous Li Chaoren, but at this time, Li Chaoren only had a good relationship with Huo Daheng in private, not a few years later, Snake Tunxiang, When eating Hutchison Whampoa, it is majestic.
Among the big shots, Li Chaoren, like He Hongshen, is a fringe figure and cannot be called a big shot yet.
In addition, there is another person that Chen Yi is particularly interested in, that is the famous world ship tycoon Bao Yugang. I don't know what happened, but at the table of the charter ship king, all the people with the title of ship king boss.
Dong Chuanwang of OOCL, Cao Chuanwang of Wanbang Group, Zhao Chuanwang of Huaguang Shipping Industry and Chartered Shipping King of Global Shipping.
The four major ship tycoons sat at the same table, it was outrageous, maybe everyone was transported by dry ships, so the voices competed with each other.
At this time, the shipping industry is in full swing. It is no joke that a ship is worth a building.
Using the Internet slang of later generations, ‘There are no four popular fried chickens. '
