Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 103 Wine Table Culture

   Hearing that Huo Yingdong had mastered nearly 80% of the vegetable market supply in Xiangjiang, Yang Chen couldn't help but stunned.

   I think that although the Xiangjiang government hates Huo Yingdong, it still has no way to deal with him.

   It has to be suppressed openly and secretly. Huo Daheng is still alive and well. In addition to the support of the domestic government, I am afraid that there is another one that Huo Daheng holds various resources from China.

   To say that Chinese businessmen are close to the inland government is actually nothing.

   After all, the entire Xiangjiang needs to be supported by the inland, so get close, as long as you don’t overdo it, the Xiangjiang government will basically turn a blind eye.

  Other people know this, so they live a good life, but Huo Daheng just ignores them, doesn't hide it at all, and doesn't even need an excuse.

   So much so that the Hong Kong government has always taken a high-handed attitude toward it.

   Since the 1970s and 1980s, Huo Yingdong has been trapped in the suppression of the Hong Kong government, and the things he can take over are basically some industries that are not very profitable.

   This also directly led to the rise of a group of rich people like Li Jiacheng later, and then replaced Huo Yingdong's dominance among the Chinese capital in Xiangjiang.

   At this stage, China began to reform and open up, and Huo Daheng's attention has completely shifted to the inland.

   The investment in Hong Kong has already begun to gradually decrease.

   At this time, if he can really get the support of the other party and receive this part of the resources in the hands of the other party, then he can quickly complete the layout.

   As for saying that his approach to Huo Yingdong will cause the Hong Kong government to suppress it, that is a joke.

  Xiangjiang has a good relationship with Huo Yingdong. How many Chinese businessmen have no relationship with Huo Yingdong?

   Thinking about when Huo Daheng was running Haisha, almost all of the real estate related to Xiangjiang was inseparable from him.

  If anyone is close to Huo Daheng, he will be ruthlessly suppressed by the Xiangjiang government, then will the entire Xiangjiang Chinese businessman still be alive?

  Why has Xiangjiang developed so much? Why can a small fishing village develop into the Four Asian Tigers? Along with the Bay and Singapore and South Korea?

   Don't tell me how awesome the British are, how good the system is, how much the successive governors love the people of Hong Kong, that's all bullshit.

  Xiangjiang can develop into what it is today, all of which are inseparable from the backing of the mainland.

   Think about the former Shanghai. When the Shanghai was prosperous, several countries in the world had heard of the small fishing village of Xiangjiang.

   A place the size of a palm, if it hadn’t been forcibly occupied by the United Kingdom and turned it into its own colony, the former Great Shanghai forced a group of capitalists to move to Hong Kong due to political reasons, which created the prosperity of Hong Kong today.

   Before asking, who knew it lay eggs in that armpit.

   Not backed by the mainland, Xiangjiang wants to develop into what it is now, wait a few decades, let’s talk about it in the 21st century.

   Even the Hong Kong government at the very beginning needed to transport people inland, not to mention other people.

   At the dinner table, Father Xue was eating and eating. He felt that his mouth was dull. He looked at Mother Xue and said, "Lihua, bring me the wine, I want to drink two sips."

  Mother Xue raised her eyelids and glanced at her old man. Seeing that he was licking his face and wanted to drink, it was not good to sweep his face in front of the child, and got up and walked towards the study.

   When Father Xue was thinking about things, he liked to drink two glasses of wine, so the wine of the Xue family was basically kept in the study.

   As for dinner, Father Xue seldom drank. Unless there was something happy, he would only drink a couple of drinks when he was happy.

   When Mother Xue took out the wine from the study and was about to take the cup, Father Xue reminded: "Take two cups."

When Mother Xue came back with the wine and the cup with a puzzled face, Father Xue put one of the cups in front of Yang Chen, and after filling the wine, he raised the cup and smiled at Yang Chen: "Come on, Ah Chen, my grandfather today Do one."

  "Uh" Seeing this, Yang Chen quickly picked up the wine glass, and clinked with Father Xue. Seeing Father Xue dried up the wine in one gulp, Yang Chen's eyes were in his sockets, and he spun around.

   looked at Mother Xue and Xue Yufei, neither of them said anything to stop them.

   There was no way, Yang Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and dry the glass of white wine in his hand.

   Since the time of rebirth, Yang Chen has tried his best to control himself not to take the initiative to drink.

   After all, the memory of his previous life really made him feel terrified. He was afraid that one day he would drink too much, and he would not know where to go.

   Old Baigan like Father Xue who likes to drink some high-purity wine on weekdays, he really can't stand it.

   As soon as the wine entered his throat, the fire-like pungency spread immediately, going down the esophagus, followed by a stream of heat rising from the abdomen.

   Surprisingly, Yang Chen didn't choke his nose, he just blushed a little, and there was no other reaction.

   "Not bad" Seeing that Yang Chen, who was not drinking, didn't lose his temper because of this, Father Xue smiled with satisfaction.

   "Come, have another glass." Before Yang Chen could speak, Father Xue filled Yang Chen's vacant wine glass again.

   Then, with a somewhat educational tone, he said: "If you want to deal with us old guys in the future, drinking is essential, if you don't know how to drink, you will lose three points of affection.

  If there is no friendship at the dinner table, you have to discuss interests with others. If there are not enough interests, they will ignore you. "

Father Xue saw Yang Chen showing a thoughtful expression, he took a bite of the dish and sent it to his mouth, and then continued: "But, some people will not be moved even if you give out enough benefits, such as your Uncle Huo. Such a person, do you think he is short of money?"

   "Uh" After being reminded by Father Xue, Yang Chen instantly thought of the business experience on the wine table of our Chinese, and with a wry smile, he poured the wine glass in front of him, picked it up and drank it again.

  Why do Chinese people like to talk about business at the wine table, and to do business with Chinese people?

  In this society full of human feelings, without friendship, this business may not be successful.

  After all, the cake is just that big, and there are many people staring at it. You don’t want it. Some people want it. Under the same interests, who should the other party distribute the benefits to?

   is self-evident.

   Seeing that Yang Chen wanted to understand, Father Xue didn't say any more, he put the wine bottle in front of Yang Chen, and then he ate his meal on his own.

   Mother Xue and Xue Yufei looked at each other, but neither spoke on the matter.

  Although both of them know that this wine is not a good thing, if they can, they don't want Yang Chen to learn these things.

   But, as Father Xue said, when a man goes out to talk to people about business, if he doesn't know how to drink, some business really can't be negotiated.

  The only thing they can do is to let their men drink less when they are at home, just don't get drunk.

   I don't know if the predecessor was stained with the old Yang Jiaguang. Yang Chen drank and drank a bottle of wine, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was not at all drunk.

   Nothing but a dizzy head.

   Even in the process of drinking, he even chopped up three bowls of white rice, and Xue Yufei was dumbfounded.

   Even Father Xue was surprised, he never thought that Yang Chen would drink so much for the first time.

   You must know that the wine he collects is not of an ordinary high degree, and it has a lot of stamina. Although the wine bottle is not large, a small glass can hold more than a dozen glasses.

  Sometimes, Father Xue would feel overwhelmed when a bottle of wine goes down, but now looking at Yang Chen's appearance, his eyes are very bright, there is some kind of drunkenness there.

  Seeing that there was no more wine in the wine bottle, Yang Chen looked up at Father Xue, blinked, and asked, "What, uncle, this wine tastes good, do you still have it?"

   It's not that he is bragging. Although he didn't drink alcohol in his predecessor, Yang Chen inherited the true legacy of his alcoholic grandfather in his previous life.

   It’s true that a thousand cups are not drunk, ahem, that’s all a lie. If you really drink a thousand cups, who can resist.

   However, these two bottles of wine are still no problem, especially the wine from Father Xue's collection, which is mellow and full of saliva. It is indeed a rare good wine.

Seeing that Yang Chen had finished drinking a bottle of wine and opened his mouth to ask for it, Father Xue couldn't help but coughed twice: "Cough, Ah Chen, that's almost it, get ready in two days, follow me to your Uncle Huo Home, where does he have good wine, you can drink as much as you want."

   Yang Chen saw Father Xue's expression of pain, and glanced at Mother Xue secretly, and then he remembered that Father Xue was drinking at home, and he had a certain amount every day.

   He drank all of Father Xue's wine for a few days in one breath. If Mother Xue didn't give Father Xue wine to drink, Father Xue would have to endure it.

   Thinking of this, Yang Chen didn't speak to Mother Xue. From the attitude of Mother Xue who didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two, she knew that it was no use asking.

   After eating, Father Xue took Mother Xue out for a walk. After dinner, he walked a hundred paces and lived to ninety-nine.

   After more than ten years, Xue's father and Xue's mother have already developed a habit.
