Jiangbei city.
Junhao Hotel.
The current members of the Li family, as well as the members of the Kong family and some members of the Chen family, were all informed by the Du family to dine at the Junhao Hotel.
The three families were able to come. The older ones, who heard that it was old du who invited them, also came.
After all, they were all worried that it might be second master du who invited them to dinner in the end.
They didn’t know if they would have to do it for free next time.
This was a long-awaited dinner for the four big families of the past.
Although there were countless luxury cars, this was considered a big family in Jiangbei city.
However, when compared to the peak of the past, and compared to the new rich, these four families were living in the past.
“The company is hosting a banquet today? Good heavens, they even booked the restaurant. I’m afraid these people are either rich or noble.”
“I know. I heard that the Du family is hosting a banquet for the other three families. I wonder what day it is today. In the past, the four great families rarely gathered.”
“They got separated. Their descendants have all gone to develop in different places. Some of them even didn’t come back. These four were powerful in the past, but now, they look like mascots left over from the old times.”
“Shh, Keep your voice down. This way, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. They are still rich, but not as rich as the other nouveau riche. But now that the world is sophisticated, the nouveau riche still have to give them some face.”
Some were dressed simply, while others were casual. Many people had already abandoned the rules of the past, especially the younger generation.
If it wasn’t for second master Du’s invitation, these young people might not have come. Only a few of the elders from elder Du’s generation would come here out of nostalgia.
The restaurant’s time was set at five in the afternoon, but the Du family was already making arrangements at two in the afternoon.
As for the other three families, some of them had already arrived at three in the morning.
Just like how many young people gathered nowadays, when they were together, they couldn’t stay idle and chat about business matters.
“Brother Li, I heard that your business in America is very big. Not bad. I wonder when you will bring us to take a look and broaden our horizons.”
Li Yun smiled modestly. “It hasn’t been listed yet. It’s just a concept industry, but I think
“Good. Brother He, you aren’t bad either. I heard that you are in finance. Wall Street also has some say.”
“Haha, I’m just a small retail investor. How can I compare to a big banker? It’s just a small matter. It’s just average.”
Even though he said that, the pride in He Ye’s eyes did not diminish.
“But, the most powerful one is still the old Chen family. He invests in movies in Hollywood, and there are beautiful celebrities working with him every day.”
Chen Pi immediately shouted, “I’m not as powerful as Li. He runs a casino in Las Vegas, and his daily dividends give him economic freedom early on.”
These were all outstanding people in their thirties. They were all talking humbly and with flattery. They chatted for quite a while.
“Enough. You guys have been bragging here for so long, but none of you are promising enough to be the industry leader.” Some of the old men snorted disdainfully.
Li Yun smiled bitterly and said, “Old man, you might not know this, but for people like us who live abroad, it’s too difficult to develop on their side. There are many restrictions.”
“There are both discrimination and rejection. It’s already very good to be able to stand on your feet.”
“That’s right. There are only so many capital positions. It has long been firmly occupied by a group of older generation consortiums. Every year, only those elites from the Chamber of Commerce are selected. There is simply no chance for these people to follow.”
“Be content. Back then, it wasn’t brother Du who used his connections to find the Chinese consortiums. Would you have had the chance to enter the capital gate? It’s already good enough to have some soup to drink now. With your little strength, it’s only because you are overseas Chinese.”
An old man from the Li family said lightly.
Among them, a young junior glanced at his father worriedly and said, “Father, tell me, is second master not going to make it?”
These words made the members of the industry present very anxious.
“If this second master falls, the Chinese consortium definitely won’t take care of us anymore. We’ll definitely have to return to the country to fight.”
“Yes, we will have to start afresh when we return to the country and fight with the mature market model. If we come in, we will probably be cannon fodder.”
Old master Li nodded slowly and said, “Second brother Du’s doctor has already told us that it will only take one or two months. He will leave at any time.”
“Sigh.” The He family’s disciple sighed. “The leader of Heaven and earth behind this Chinese descendant took care of second uncle du for the sake of grandfather Du. If he comes, I’m afraid we will have no one to rely on.”
“We can’t win against the new rich at home, and it looks like it’s going to be cold abroad. Our four great families are going to be decadent.”
When he said this, everyone present immediately quieted down.
Because what he said was right. Although they didn’t want to admit it, the trend had already appeared.
At this time, a disciple said, “What time is it now? Why haven’t we started eating? Since everyone is here, why don’t we just start eating?”
“Yeah, we still have a lot of things to deal with. There are too many things to do in the company.”
“My father hasn’t come yet?” The second son of the Du family said, “Let’s wait a little longer.”
“If you don’t want to eat, then get lost.” The elders of the Li, Chen, and He families couldn’t stand these impetuous young men. All of them impatiently scolded their juniors.
“The company is busy all day. I haven’t seen you guys making money, so you only know how to mess up the family business. These ancestral businesses will be ruined by you prodigals.”
“My dad is going to pick up a very important person. Everyone wait,” said the second son of the Du family.
“What kind of person does second brother need to pick up personally? You’re letting him go out under such conditions, and you’re his son. How do you do things?”
The second son of the Du family was not annoyed after hearing that. He smiled bitterly and said, “My dad will personally pick up kernel even if he dies on the road. The uncles may also know him. He’s our senior.”
“My father calls him his grand master.”
“What? What did you say?”
The elders jumped up and stood up.
They sat on their seats and stared at him.
