Chapter 107 Famous People of Hong Kong



So the two chefs decided to go to Lin Chengyu together, hoping to stay at the villa and continue working as private chefs.

They expressed their concerns and wishes to Lin Chengyu, who said he understood their thoughts.

However, he also explained that the shift system was implemented to bring more novelty to the Chinese restaurant, attract more customers, provide more employment opportunities, and also meet the company's development needs.

Lin Chengyu suggested that if they were willing to try some new dishes and cooking methods to improve their culinary skills, they could potentially become the villa's exclusive chefs.

The two chefs looked at each other for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing in their eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

They knew this was a rare opportunity, a stage to showcase their culinary skills and a chance to elevate their status. So they nodded and decided to accept the challenge.

They began to diligently study new recipes, attempting to demonstrate even greater culinary skills.

They get up early every day to go to the market to select the freshest ingredients, and then dive into the kitchen, constantly trying new combinations and cooking methods.

The family doesn't need to buy vegetables; they can pick them directly from the vegetable garden they have specially cultivated in their backyard. The Lin family owns several acres of land on the hillside.

Apart from the villas, most of the other areas were preserved and turned into a vegetable garden, an orchard, a flower garden, and a woodland. The woodland, in particular, is quite large and is planted with many rare trees.

Lin Chengyu also believes that a professional home chef is still very necessary.

Changing chefs too frequently compromises home security and creates opportunities for malicious individuals. Chefs are among the closest people to a family; they know the family's preferences and habits. If a chef is bribed, the family's safety will be threatened.

Moreover, each chef has their own cooking style and taste. If chefs are changed frequently, families will need to constantly adapt to new flavors, which can be a burden for them.

It would be better to have the whole family move to the front yard, where there is a row of rooms for the cooks, nannies, and bodyguards.

It was built to be very large, and there were still many empty rooms inside.

This villa can accommodate about a hundred people living together in a very spacious environment.

This way, chefs can better serve families, and families can enjoy food with greater peace of mind.

During this process, Lin Chengyu also felt the chefs' enthusiasm and professionalism.

They are not just cooking, they are creating. They put their emotions and feelings into each dish so that family members can feel their dedication.

Lin Chengyu also began to communicate with the chefs, sharing Song Ziqing's and other family members' tastes and preferences, so that they could better serve him.

It was already 6 p.m. when the group arrived at the Hong Kong University Auditorium.

At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the ground outside the auditorium, as if draping this historic university in a golden cloak.

Inside the Great Hall, the lights were dazzling and the hall was bustling with activity; many Hong Kong celebrities had already arrived.

The first person to catch the eye was Lui Lok, the "Five Hundred Million Dollar Inspector." Dressed in a sharp suit, he strode confidently into the hall. His resolute gaze exuded an unquestionable authority.

Immediately afterward, Xiang Huayan appeared at the entrance of the auditorium. He was a renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist. His arrival instantly enlivened the atmosphere inside the auditorium.

Xiang Huayan greeted everyone with a smile. His eyes were full of friendliness, making him seem like a friendly and warm neighbor.

In this era, in Hong Kong, there are many outstanding Chinese entrepreneurs whose stories and achievements are admirable and inspiring. Among them, the most famous is undoubtedly the shipping magnate Y.K. Pao, whose entrepreneurial spirit and patriotism are legendary.

Bao Yugang came from a poor family, but he was diligent and studious, and through his own efforts, he was admitted to Shanghai Jiao Tong University. After graduation, he went to work in a bank, but he was not satisfied with that.

In 1949, he resigned from his bank job and co-founded a shipping company. Under his leadership, the company gradually grew into one of the world's largest shipping companies, earning him the title of "Chinese Shipping King".

Besides Y.K. Pao, many other outstanding Chinese entrepreneurs came to Hong Kong in the 1960s, such as patriotic businessman Henry Fok, film mogul Run Run Shaw, jewelry tycoon Cheng Yu-tung, and gambling king Stanley Ho.

Shortly after, Li Ka-shing arrived at the auditorium by car. As one of Hong Kong's most renowned entrepreneurs, Li Ka-shing's arrival was undoubtedly a highlight of the event. He wore a simple suit, yet exuded an invisible aura.

The Song family was a newcomer, so their seats weren't near the front; they had to stay in the middle of the hall.

However, they were not disappointed. On the contrary, they sat there quietly with humility, waiting for the event to begin.

They know that they still need to work hard to improve their status in Hong Kong, but they believe that as long as they persevere, one day they will also become the pride of this city.

At this moment, Bao Yugang, who was in the front row, saw Lin Chengyu and walked over happily to greet him, "Mr. Lin, good evening! I didn't expect you to be here too? Are all these your family members?"

Lin Chengyu and Bao Yugang knew each other because in the past two years, Song Lin Group has been increasing its investment in Myanmar and Thailand. Whether it is transporting raw stones, gemstones, or grain, the transport ships used are mostly in cooperation with Bao Yugang's Global Limited.

However, Songlin Group has its own shipping company and does not accept orders from outsiders. All the goods it transports are various ingredients, grains, raw stones, timber, coal and so on that Songlin Group needs.

Because Songlin Group was not familiar with the air routes, its transportation companies were unable to deliver the goods to their destinations in a timely manner.

To solve this problem, Songlin Group decided to hand over the materials that it could not transport itself to Global Co., Ltd.

Global Shipping Limited is a large shipping company with a good reputation in the industry. This creates more opportunities for cooperation between the two parties.

As their interactions increased, Bao Yugang gradually became acquainted with Lin Chengyu, a rising star who had been exceptionally active in Hong Kong in the past two years.

Lin Chengyu was young and promising, and his generous personality left a deep impression on Bao Yugang.

As the owner of Universal Limited, Pao Yue-kong also demonstrated extraordinary business acumen and leadership skills, which earned Lin Cheng-yu's admiration.
