Chapter 1344: The gift giving begins
After the sound of firecrackers, red silk was hung across the hotel, and guests were smiling.
In the lobby, people wearing brocade grosgrain sat under the stage. Mr. Huo, surrounded by his sons and daughters, sat on the seat directly opposite the stage.
People around his age had looks of envy and jealousy in their eyes.
None of them hopes that their sixtieth birthday will be as glorious as Mr. Huo's birthday banquet.
In fact, the Huo family was just an ordinary businessman more than ten years ago. After all, something happened at that time, and their family donated half of their family property in order to submit a certificate.
Who knew that a few years later, the limelight would turn sharply, and their status would begin to be recognized again.
In addition, Mr. Huo was originally a business-minded person. With his own ability, he decisively abandoned the tea and rental land industries that the family had always relied on, and transformed himself into the real estate development industry.
By developing real estate related to the municipal group, he jumped up and not only made his first pot of gold, but also established a good relationship with the senior management of the municipal group. Later, he rose to prominence and the road to development was smooth.
From a small family that gradually fell into decline at the beginning to a business giant with a market value of over [-] million, the entire process took less than three years.
It is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe Mr. Huo as a business wizard.
That's not all. The children of the Huo family are also more competitive than the other. The eldest son, Hoxha, is responsible for the group's real estate and commercial development. He has now developed an international trade business and has become the first family in China to engage in transnational business.
There was a huge risk here. At that time, there were many brokers and dealers who used the cans, socks and other light industrial supplies from the production team to exchange for a large number of equipment from the maozi next door.
But cheating is illegal. If you are caught, you will be sentenced. You may also encounter gangsters in foreign countries.
The Huo family's international trade is also known as a formal businessman, which makes people envious. After all, it has only been three years since it was fully opened, and he has almost monopolized the entire market.
The Huo family is at its peak and their career is booming.
Today is the sixtieth birthday of Mr. Huo.
In this era, there is no talk of retiring at the age of 60. He feels that he is still young and plans to continue.However, he also knew that he was gradually unable to do what he wanted, so he planned to choose a successor from among his three sons and one daughter.
The loudest voice is, of course, the eldest son Hoxha.
Usually when doing things outside, the eldest son does it himself.
As for the second son and the third son, they are ordinary. Although they have coveted the status of the family for a long time, due to their limited strength, they are usually suppressed by their eldest brother.
Hoxha also has a very bad attitude towards his two brothers. After all, they may threaten him. He has lived in a competitive environment since he was a child and is full of hostility towards potential opponents.
But when it comes to his little sister Huo Xing, he has a different attitude.
The Huo family seems to be interested too. They want to take the opportunity of their birthday to show the family's strength to the outside world, which can also be regarded as a semicolon in Mr. Huo's life. At the same time, they also want to announce their thoughts at the birthday banquet.
Therefore, today's birthday was held in an extremely luxurious manner, and almost everyone who could be invited was invited, all of whom were top figures in the Nanling business district.
Business elites also want to curry favor with their masters, and the gifts they prepare are extremely luxurious.
Everyone has a box or gift in their hands, waiting to come forward and give a gift.
From the clothes of these people, it is not difficult to see that the gifts they prepared are also very luxurious.
Lin Ran made a rough estimate and found that there were more than 200 people here, basically coming in groups of two. Even if each person's gift was only 200 yuan, it would add up to [-] to [-] yuan.
I'm afraid some people have prepared gifts of higher value.
In this era when a household with ten thousand yuan is considered a wealthy person, the value of gifts stacked up is already an astronomical figure.
Guan Yun looked disapproving. The only thing he was unhappy about was that the meal was already served, but he couldn't move his chopsticks while looking at the delicious food in front of him.
"Birthday banquets for rich people are really awesome. All these gifts must add up to at least several thousand yuan."
"You underestimate Mr. Huo's connections." Lin Ran replied, but he was not in the mood to joke with Guan Yun now. People from the Lei family were surrounding him outside, saying that they were here to attend a birthday banquet. I'm afraid Lei Jiangtao himself Neither would believe it.
The emcee on the stage is mobilizing people's atmosphere.
According to the order of position, people began to offer congratulatory gifts one after another.
The venue instantly became lively, and Lin Ran took this opportunity to tell Guan Yun what he saw outside.
Guan Yun, who was laughing and joking just now, became serious after hearing this.
From where they were, they could just raise their heads and see the VIP seats above.
The eyes of Lei Jiangtao happened to meet.
Lei Jiangtao was staring at Lin Ran intently. Ever since he came downstairs, his target had never left him, so he naturally knew his location.
The door to the VIP table was closed just now, so he didn't notice Lin Ran leaving the banquet.
Guan Yun looked at him and knew something was wrong.
"I'm going out to see the situation." Guan Yungang wanted to inquire about the enemy, but Lin Ran grabbed his clothes under the table.
"Don't alert the enemy," Lin Ran said, "Gangzi has already contacted people outside."
"Is he reliable?" Guan Yun seemed to distrust him.
Having said that, he also knew that the Lei family upstairs was staring at him. Now that he went out, he would expose his identity and simply pretended to be nonchalant.
At this time, a fat man wearing a Tang suit walked onto the main stage carrying a brocade box.
"Mr. Huo, thank you for your help to our Baishifang business this year. I have prepared a mutton-fat white jade bracelet for you. I wish you a long life."
Mutton-fat jade bracelet?
Mr. Huo took the gift box from him with a smile and just glanced at it.
The man seemed to be still waiting for his compliment, but Master Huo laughed.
"Boss Long, I should take care of your business. Thank you for the gift, it's just..."
The man was stunned and stood there, sweat seemed to be oozing out from his head, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "It's just what?"
Master Huo didn't say any more. Hoxha next to him had already picked up the white jade bracelet, played with it in his hand, and sneered.
"Boss Long, it's okay if you have your heart set on it. But I still want to remind you, don't use fakes to sway us."
"Fake goods?" Boss Long immediately became serious, "We at Baiyufang never sell fake goods."
"You may not be selling fake goods, but you have been deceived." Hoxha always had a half-smile on his face, which in the eyes of others was a dangerous signal.
"Why do you see it?" Boss Long asked.
