Bao Junyi said awkwardly, "Uncles, please stop teasing me."
"Your Excellencies, your sons, have achieved considerable success and have already begun investing inland, preparing to build businesses that rival yours."
"This is a good path. Moreover, as the inland develops, the first investors will have a huge advantage. It's only a matter of time before the inland develops."
Huo Yingdong was surprised and said, "Oh, Ah Yi, you have some insights on this?"
Now the older generation of Hong Kong tycoons have also become curious and want to hear what Bao Junyi has to say.
"Uncle Huo, I can't say I have an opinion, but I'm very confident in the rise of the inland. After all, the inland population base is there. As time goes by, material demands in all aspects will continue to surge. Those who enter the market early and create a word-of-mouth effect will occupy an absolute leading position."
"Elders, tell me, is it just a matter of time before we have the opportunity to make money?"
"Ayi, what you said is correct, but why didn't you invest in it? Why did you only invest in building a large steel plant?"
Now the wealthy are also very curious. Bao Junyi said it is so profitable, why doesn't he do it himself, but instead goes into the industry that requires large investment and slow results. They all prick up their ears and want to hear what he says.
Bao Junyi smiled and said, "My elders should also know that the core of our Miracle Group is still heavy industry. Building steel mills in the inland area is also the core of Miracle Group's materials in the future. Many projects are inseparable from it."
“As for why not invest in other industries.”
"I think we need to wait, because my investments are all large-scale projects, and the capital required is huge. Miracle Group doesn't have extra funds to invest inland right now. We can only stabilize the basic market before considering expanding into other industries."
"So, don't worry, everyone. My entry into the mainland market won't take away your children's market share. After all, the market is huge, with many industries. Everyone who has invested in it will see returns, it's just a matter of how much."
Bao Junyi looked at the expressions of the wealthy people and understood what they meant.
He continued, "For the past year or so, I haven't considered investing heavily in the mainland market. If you, the younger generation, have any ideas, I suggest you start planning as soon as possible and select the right people to go. If you are a second-generation person with a bad temper, I suggest you avoid going there and bringing discredit to the family."
Ho Ying-tung laughed heartily and said, "Ayi is right. Those with bad personalities have caused trouble for the mainland in the past, but the gains have outweighed the losses."
The wealthy Hong Kong people present at the scene are all shrewd people. If they are not careful, it may affect their family's investment in the mainland.
"Yes, I am considering separating my youngest son Dong Hui from the family and letting him go to the mainland to try his luck. After all, I am old, and my older sons are all helping out in the group. Now I only have my youngest son, so it's just right for him to go over and try his luck." Dong Haoyun sighed.
"Uncle Dong, Dong Hui is a good person. If he develops in the future, his future achievements may not be inferior to your current ones."
"Are you sure you want to separate him and let him go to the mainland on his own?" Bao Junyi asked suspiciously.
"Hahaha, that's even better. The brothers have a pretty good relationship. One is developing in the mainland, and the other is developing in Hong Kong. They can look after each other."
Bao Junyi also sighed after hearing this. He knew that after Dong Haoyun passed away, the Dong family was also divided. Maybe the inheritance was not distributed evenly when he left, which led to the brothers turning against each other and going to court.
At that time, this kind of thing happened more than once when wealthy families in Hong Kong were fighting over inheritance.
Bao Junyi did not answer, but just listened silently. After all, this was the Dong family's own family affair, and outsiders should not interfere.
......
People from all walks of life came today to celebrate Dong Haoyun's birthday, including the wife of Governor MacLehose. In addition, some international partners and companies from Europe and the United States also sent representatives, making the scene very lively.
Bao Junyi was also frequently toasted by wealthy men who brought their sons with them, all wanting to become familiar faces.
As a result, I, who had a low alcohol tolerance to begin with, started to feel drunk and my head started to feel dizzy.
I couldn't bear it any longer, so I found a corner to sit down, and someone handed me a cup of hangover tea.
After drinking some hangover tea, I slowly recovered.
"Are you feeling better?"
Bao Junyi heard the ethereal female voice, turned around curiously, and asked in surprise: "Ling... Ling'er, why are you here?"
"Hehe, I don't like crowds, so I found this corner in the house, but I didn't expect you to run out too."
"If you don't run out, you will be carried out soon."
"Even a drunkard couldn't handle the constant toasts they make."
Zhang Linger laughed and said, "Really? Maybe you've been going to nightclubs and bars less often, so your alcohol tolerance has also decreased."
"Haha, yes, it's been a long time since I went there. Now I almost forgot what it felt like before."
"Yeah, I remember back then, I used to follow you around, pestering you all day long, asking you to play with me."
"Now we are all grown up and changing all the time." Zhang Linger said slowly.
After a moment of silence, as if reminiscing, she said, "Yes, the naughty little girl has grown up and become a beautiful lady."
"I don't know. In the end, that brat got the better deal."
After Bao Junyi finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell silent and no one spoke.
Zhang Linger pulled her skirt hard with both hands. Her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes. They could fall at any time, but she was trying hard to hold them back.
Bao Junyi had his back to her and didn't notice Zhang Ling'er's current condition. Even if he knew, he couldn't do anything.
After all, the relationship between the two families is there and cannot be restored now.
Neither of them spoke, both remained silent.
Until Dong Hui came over.
"Ayi, Ling'er, I've been looking for you for a long time, and it turns out you were hiding here and having fun."
"Brother Hui, what's wrong?"
"My dad just asked us to take a photo together to keep as a souvenir. After all, it's a rare occasion for us to get together, so we can keep it as a memory for the future."
"So, my dad asked me to come look for you guys, and it took me a long time to find you."
Zhang Linger smiled and said, "I'm not hiding on purpose. I just don't like crowds, you know."
"I couldn't stand the alcohol they forced me to drink, so I came out to sober up." Bao Junyi said quickly.
"Really?" Dong Hui looked at the two of them suspiciously.
He knew that the two of them had been playing together since they were young and were even engaged, so they were childhood sweethearts.
However, no one expected that after Bao Junyi did that thing a few years ago, he was suppressed by the He family and other families. The Zhang family, as the relative, did not help, but instead added insult to injury, and directly came to cancel the engagement and interrupted some business dealings.
Bao Junyi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Hui, let's go together. I'm almost sober now."
"That's fine, now we just need you two."
