Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Soon the second son of the Dong family came to the room where the eight spirit-supporting people were. His intention was very obvious; the time was coming, so everyone should prepare. Being able to come to attend my father's funeral is already a great honor, and personally supporting the deceased is a great friend. As a family, in addition to being grateful, I am grateful.

Moreover, the identity and status of the supporter this time are absolutely impeccable; at least in the Chinese community in Hong Kong, no one with such a card can be found. That is to say, if Mr. Dong passes away, someone else would never be able to do it.

Huo Yingdong had close contacts with the Dong family and had a great influence on them. Therefore, at many critical moments, he still has to speak. This is not only recognition of the Huo family's strength, but also a form of respect.

Huo Yingdong: "Second brother, is the ceremony about to begin?"

Second Young Master Dong quickly replied: "Yes, everything is ready; just waiting for you to appear."

The eight people didn't say anything, but quickly arranged their clothes. This is a solemn occasion and no one can make any mistakes.

Soon eight spiritual supporters appeared on both sides of the coffin. Huo Yingdong and Pao Yugang were in the first row on the left and right, followed by Zheng Yutong and He Sheng respectively, followed by Li Chaoren and Li Shauji, and Hu Yingxiang and Bao Zixuan were at the back.

Seeing these eight spirit-supporting people appear, everyone took a breath of air. I have a new understanding of the true strength of the Dong family. The identity and status of Fuling people is one thing. They can work for Mr. Dong; it is even more rare for them to let go of their past grudges and not have tit-for-tat confrontation.

The conflict between the richest man Bao Zixuan and the jewelry king Zheng Yutong is known to all of Hong Kong. When the two meet, they won't start fighting, but at least they won't look good on each other. But now that I see them, they all want to see Mr. Dong off for the last time. It is not only a matter of bearing, but also a matter of respect for the deceased.

The host's deep voice began to introduce Mr. Dong's life: "Mr. Dong Haoyun has longed for the sea since he was a child. He devoted himself to China's shipping industry at the age of 16 and has been inseparable with it all his life. In 1931, at the age of 20, he came alone After arriving in Tianjin, he worked hard at Jinmen Shipping Company, working his way from secretary to director of the shipping department, and then to executive committee member of the Tianjin Shipping Industry Association. In early 1938, after accumulating rich shipping experience, he returned to Shanghai and started his career since then. The establishment of China Shipping Trust Company created many firsts in the shipping history of China, Asia and the world, so it enjoys the reputation of "Modern Zheng He"."

"He is a tycoon in the shipping industry, but more importantly, he is an affable, generous, and unpretentious person; as a great man, he has a charm that makes people want to get close to him."

"Today we have lost a close friend and relative; Hong Kong has lost a great entrepreneur; the world shipping industry has lost a leader."

"Mr. Dong Haoyun's former friends came to see him off. On behalf of his family, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for coming. At the same time, I would also like to thank the eight supporters today who accompanied Mr. Dong Haoyun on his final journey."

"They are Mr. Fok Yingdong, chairman of Fok Hing Yip Tang Real Estate Co., Ltd.; Mr. Pao Yugang, chairman of Global Shipping Group; Mr. Zheng Yutong, chairman of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry; Mr. Song Hongsheng, chairman of Casino Entertainment Co., Ltd.; Mr. Li Chaoren, chairman of Yangtze River Industrial Co., Ltd. ; Mr. Li Shauji, Chairman of Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd.; Mr. Hu Yingxiang, Chairman of Hopewell Industrial Co., Ltd.; Mr. Bao Zixuan, Chairman of Heiyun Group."

"I believe that Mr. Dong will be able to see his eight friends in the sky showing their reluctance and love for him."

Introducing the person who supports the deceased is also a recognition of the deceased's achievements during his lifetime; if he had no strength, how could he invite so many tycoons to support his soul.

After completing a circle according to the process, the worship service begins.

The media reporters were once again shocked by the connections of the Dong family. The people who came to pay homage came from all over the country. But one thing must be admitted, they are all elites in various countries and fields; no one can deny this.

Hong Kong is still managed by the British, and the British royal family will definitely send representatives here. This is a good opportunity to win people's hearts, and no one will let it go.

Prince Andrew paid tribute to Mr. Dong on behalf of the British royal family, which was considered a great honor. Although he is the Queen's second son, in many cases his influence is no less than that of his eldest brother, Crown Prince Charles.

Then Governor Yoder appeared in the mourning hall. In the eyes of everyone, this was just a routine operation. However, Youde was dressed very solemnly today, and he did not dare to slack off at all.

Bao Zixuan was a little surprised by Shen Bi's appearance. After all, the Dong family did not have any financial transactions with HSBC. Seeing that Shen Bi is obviously much older, and he feels like a hero in his twilight years, I really feel sorry for this old guy.

From the perspective of HSBC and the British, Shen Bi did nothing wrong. After all, no one can say for sure which direction Hong Kong will develop in the future; many policies are not very clear yet. HSBC's existence as a quasi-central bank and itself a British company naturally has various concerns.

It is normal to do things that are not in the interest of other companies and individuals, but it only harms the interests of too many people, which has led to today's situation.

In fact, there is another most important reason, that is, the Black Cloud Group should not be offended. But when Shen Bi knew it, it was already too late. It was almost impossible to make amends, and Bao Zixuan would not give him this chance.

The appearance of Zhang Yuliang made media reporters feel incredible. After all, everyone who knows the Zhang family knows this. This is an old-established family that has little contact with the emerging forces in Hong Kong. Zhang Yuliang has basically never attended any important events, and this is his first time for a funeral.

Could it be because Bao Bao is the richest man? After all, the two of them are now in a relationship with son-in-law. But it's unlikely. The Zhang family has inherent pride. It can only explain one thing: Mr. Dong’s reputation is big enough and his connections are wide enough.

Later, celebrities from all walks of life in Xiangjiang came to pay their respects. Fortunately, everyone understood that there were many people coming today, so it would be nice to pay their respects and express their feelings. You must not cause trouble to the host family, even entertainment stars; today is not their show.

Not only the head of the Xiangjiang branch of the Sumitomo family of Japan, Takeshi Sumitomo, came over, but even his father came to Xiangjiang from Japan urgently.

Sumitomo Takeshi's father and Mr. Dong have known each other for a long time, and it can be said that they have an irreversible relationship. When an old friend passes away, of course I have to send him off for the last time, which can be regarded as a little bit of my heart.

As the future patriarch of the Sumitomo family, his arrival also caused a great response. The Sumitomo family is definitely a famous family in Japan and has a strong influence. People all lamented that the Dong family's network of contacts was so wide that even such a family would send major figures to pay homage.

Later, the media saw Guo Desheng, Zeng Xianzi, Lin Baixin and other business tycoons; with the previous foreshadowing, the media was accustomed to these people.

The Dong family only arranged one day. In fact, according to Mr. Dong's wishes, everything was kept simple for the funeral. However, considering the many problems and impacts, although the Dong family did not fully comply with the old man's wishes, they also appropriately reduced the scale.

But even so, there were still too many people coming to pay their respects, which is enough to show the old man's prestige and connections during his lifetime.

But at the same time, everyone also knows that this is also the last swan song of the Ship King. The Dong family wants to continue to prosper; future generations, especially the eldest son of the Dong family, must carry the banner. If he cannot inherit his father's legacy, or his abilities are much weaker, then the Dong family's situation will become very embarrassing.

If you want to have a good relationship or hang out in the same circle, it is important to have equal strength. If something happens to your family or your strength is seriously damaged, you may feel embarrassed even if others don't dislike it.

The Dong family is definitely one of the top richest people in Hong Kong, and there is no problem ranking in the top ten. After Mr. Dong passes away, it is very critical whether the family will be separated. Of course, this is the focus of media attention, or employees of various branches of the Dong family will also be concerned. It won’t have a great impact on other people, and of course there will be no shortage of spectators.

With the media and people in Hong Kong shocked, Dong Haoyun's funeral ended. Until many years later, everyone still lamented the influence of Mr. Dong. At the same time, people also discovered that Mr. Dong’s funeral was actually the last time that wealthy Chinese people in Hong Kong got together; after that, there was no one who could make all the tycoons sit together calmly.

Even Bao Zixuan and Huo Yingdong can't do it. Maybe when one of them leaves, it might happen!
