Jiang City.
Peace Hotel.
The members of the Song family, the Kong family, and some members of the Chen family were all informed by the Du family that they were going to dine at the Peace Hotel.
Those from the three families who could come came. The older ones heard that it was Old Du who invited them, so they all came.
After all, they were all afraid that this might be the last time Second Master Du would treat them to a meal.
He didn't know if he would have to do it the next time.
This was a long-lost gathering for the four big families.
Although there were countless luxury cars, they could be considered a wealthy family in Jiang City.
However, if they really wanted to compare themselves with the peak of the past and the other upstarts of the present, these four families might be suspected of living in the past.
"Which company is hosting a banquet today? Good heavens, he booked the entire restaurant. I think the people who came to eat were either rich or noble.”
"You don't understand, do you? It was said that the Du family invited the other three families for a meal. He did not know what day it was today. In the past, the four families rarely gathered.”
" They've been wandering around. I heard that their descendants have been developing all over the world. Some of them don't even want to come back to China. These four were powerful in the past, but now, they're a little like mascots left over from the old times.”
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. Even so, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. They still have money, but they can't compare to the other nouveau riche. However, the world is now a world of people. Those nouveau riche still have to give them face.”
As these people discussed, the Song, Chen, and Kong families drove their luxury cars to the hotel one after another.
Some were dressed simply, while others were dressed casually. Many people had already abandoned the etiquette of the past, especially the younger generation. They were a little sloppy and perfunctory.
If it weren't for Second Master Du's invitation, these young people might not have come. Only a few old people from Old Du's generation would come to attend this banquet.
The restaurant was booked at 5 pm, but the Du family had already made arrangements at 2 pm.
The other three families also arrived at 3 am.
Just like how many young people gathered nowadays, when they gathered together, they could not help but talk about business matters.
"Song Laosi, I heard that your business at the lighthouse has grown. It was not a waste to go to school there since she was young.”
Song Laosi smiled modestly." It hasn't been listed yet. It's just a concept industry, but I'm optimistic about it." Brother Kong, you're not bad either. I heard that you're a top student in the finance department and a capital tycoon on Wall Street.”
"We're just small investors. How can we compare to the big market? We're just small investors. We can still have enough food and clothing, but we're miles away from Giant Crocodile.”
"The one who feels the best is Chen Laowu. He's investing in Hollywood movies and mingling with female celebrities every day.”
Old Fifth Chen immediately refused. He had invested in the casino in Russ, and the annual dividends had given him financial freedom early on.”
A few of his peers, who were over 30 years old and under 50 years old, were humble and flattering him. They chatted for a long time.
"You guys have been boasting for so long, but none of you have any potential to become a giant in the industry.”The few old men snorted disdainfully when they heard this.
"Grandpa Kong, you might not know this, but it's too difficult for Asians like us to develop in that kind of place!”The current eldest son of the Chen family smiled bitterly." There's discrimination and rejection everywhere. It's already good enough for outsiders like us to be able to gain a foothold in Lighthouse. After all, we don't have any background there. We've tried our best to enter the Chinese consortium association over the years. If we could enter earlier, we might have the resources to expand.”
"Yes, the capital market is only that big. It has long been firmly occupied by the older batch of Chinese consortiums. Every year, they will only select and rotate from the elites in the Chamber of Commerce.”
"Be content." Old Master Song snorted." Back then, if it wasn't for Second Brother Du using Uncle Du's connections to find a Chinese consortium, would you have had the chance to enter that capital?" "It's already not bad to have soup to drink now. With your strength, you can only do it on account of being overseas Chinese. Otherwise, you would have starved to death.”
The elders hit the nail on the head, making the faces of the younger generation turn red.
Among them, the second generation of the Kong family looked at his father worriedly and said,"Dad, do you think Second Master can't make it?”
These words made the members present who had businesses overseas show anxiety.
"If Second Master falls, this Chinese consortium will definitely not take care of us anymore. We will definitely have to return to China to develop again, but how can we compete with the mature domestic market when we return at this time? The martial world here has already shown its scale. We're afraid that we'll be cannon fodder if we enter.”
Old Master Kong closed his eyes and nodded gently."Second Brother Du's doctor said that it's only for the next month or two. He might leave at any time.”
"Hey." Chen Laowu sighed." Back then, the Heaven and Earth Sect behind this Chinese consortium took care of Second Uncle Du out of respect for Grandpa Du. If he leaves, I'm afraid we really won't have anyone to rely on."”
"We can't beat the upstarts in the country, and it looks like we're going to be cold overseas.”
"By the way, what time is it already? Why hasn't dinner started yet? Since everyone was here, why not start eating?”" It's mainly because we still have things to do," someone suggested." The company is too busy.”
"My dad isn't here yet." "Let's wait a little longer," said the second son of the Du family.”
"If you don't want to eat, get lost." The elders of the Song, Chen, and Kong families couldn't bear to see these impetuous young people. Each and every one of them impatiently scolded their juniors.
"The company is busy all day, and I don't see you earning much money. You're wasting your family's business. Even the gold mountain left behind by your ancestors can't withstand your squandering.”
"My dad is mainly going to pick up an important person.”The second son of the Du family said.
"Who is it?" "Second Brother has to pick them up personally?" The elders frowned. Can Second Brother go out with his body?"
The second son of the Du family smiled bitterly." Even if my father died on the way here, he would have to personally pick up this guest. You uncles might know him too. He's our senior.”
"My dad calls him grandmaster."
"What did you say?" With a thud, the few elders instantly stood up, spilling their tea.
They sat up straight in their wheelchairs and widened their eyes.
