Hong Dali took a shower and got dressed. When he left his room and reached the dining room, everyone was already there waiting for him. Li Nianwei smilingly said, "Young Master, you are here. Let's eat, quick. ”
Hong Dali sat down and picked up a pair of chopsticks. “Ok, no need to wait for me next time. I eat every time I wake up. ”
Tang Muxin put some food for Hong Dali. “It should wait until next time. It's a big day today, eat more. No one knows how long the meeting will last. Don't get hungry while you're there. ”After serving Hong Dali food, she continues her reminder. “Dali, less talk after you log in. I can see that your brothers and sisters don't like you very much. Keep a low profile if they make things difficult for you. ”
Li Nianwei nodded in agreement. "Yes, Young Master. You are always dear. No wonder people are jealous. People become unreasonable when they are jealous, so you have to be extra careful. ”
Hong Dali laughed indifferently and said, “Don't worry, I'll take a nap as soon as I enter. I definitely won't fight them. Let them say whatever they want, I'll pretend I can't hear anything. That should be okay, right? ”
After seeing that Hong Dali agreed with her, Tang Muxin happily said, “Yes, that's good then. Dali listened to people's advice. You deserve to be praised! ”
"Of course!"
Li Nianwei and the others were locked up and could not leave the place. Hong Dali and Tang Muxin were not under the same restrictions, but they had nowhere else. Therefore, after breakfast, they stayed and played card poker and Fight the Landlord with others. The group laughed and enjoyed themselves until half an afternoon. Tang Muxin watched that time, kept all the cards, and exclaimed, “Dali, it's almost time. You must be careful. ”
Hong Dali grunts. "No problem . I will only sleep until the meeting is over. When I get back tonight, let's keep playing! "
Everyone has their consent. "Good!"
Hong Dali, who had decided to sleep during the meeting, walked out the door.
When he left the group, Hong Dali thought about the situation. His family background certainly made many people envious. It was inevitable that people would say some evil things. This time, he had to try not to cause any trouble and pass any exams they had for the candidates. Then, hopefully, when Grandpa Hong Tu was in a good mood, he might be able to ask him to release his people.
He recalled the time when he was at the West Fourth Loop with his nine accomplices following behind him, walking with the Tibetan Mastiff. Oh, how great it is.
Now, he's alone. Comparing the two situations, Hong Dali felt uneasy throughout.
Not long after a familiar building began to look — spacious meeting rooms where family gatherings will be held.
He was still far away from the main door when the security guards opened the door and called out to Hong Dali. “Young Master Hong Dali has arrived. Please sign. ”
It seemed that the commotion he caused yesterday had at least one advantage. People can easily recognize it.
Hong Dali nodded and stepped into the meeting room.
The Hong Family Meeting was a big deal. No one in the family would take it lightly, and everyone came early to wait for the start of the — meeting there were even some who arrived at dawn. Hong Dali was probably the first and only one to arrive late.
As he entered the meeting room, soft voices were heard commenting around—
“Dali is here. It's too late, and he just got here. He was too much, he did not take the meeting seriously. ”
“Looks like he doesn't have much confidence in himself. Even if he showed up early, he had nothing to prepare for, so he might come in on time. ”
“Really in vain pedigree. If it was me, even if I couldn't be first, I would at least be in the top three. ”
“Pfft, If I were born in his family, I would definitely get it first. ”
Hong Dali took a quick glance. The meeting room was filled with at least three hundred people present. The table is overflowing. These people were mostly younger members of the family who were under the age of thirty, but there were also quite a number of older members who looked like they were here to accompany their children.
It is not difficult to understand the reason. This Hong Family Meeting will decide on the amount of funds they will earn for the coming year.
Young people who excel in the family will be able to obtain a large amount of funds. In business, the more funds you invest, the higher your return. Investing a hundred thousand yuan might earn you thirty or forty thousand in a year. An investment of one million yuan would yield five to six hundred thousand in a year. Furthermore, when hundreds of millions are involved, it could mean annual revenues of millions or even tens of millions. Who is not worried? Who can take it lightly?
There were actually quite a number of familiar faces in the room. The first one Hong Dali saw was the beautiful tall sister Mu Yuxi, whom he met at Fengyuan Lake while walking around with a dog. Mu Yuxi's face was as beautiful and aloof as it used to be, with a number of charms. He looked at her indifferently. Mu Yuxi was a business miracle, rare in this generation of the family, and thus, she sat closest to the front podium.
Hong Anbao, who opposed him every chance, sat down near Mu Yuxi. He glared sharply at Hong Dali, with his teeth gritted and flames burning in his eyes. Unfortunately, he had no Hong Dali guts and did not dare to make a fuss.
Pftt, this guy can really hold a grudge. Let's hit me if you dare.
Hong Dali smiled and quietly flashed his third finger. It gave Hong Anbao such a surprise that he lowered his head. This is a big hall. If the two of them started fighting, both of them would definitely be disqualified.
Hong Dali insulted. That little bit of guts takes hard work. Hehe .
There are some people in the front row. With their aura and confident attitude, they might be more talented entrepreneurs of the younger generation. It was likely that they would be placed among the top during this family gathering.
No wonder the Hong family could grow into an empire. Without taking into account the older generation members, based solely on the fact that the younger generation members all started the business early, along with their unfair advantage in life, it is clear what the outcome will be.
The situation was such that, while it impressed Hong Dali, it also comforted him.
They are all competitors here. Competition must be rampant. Even if they did not fight each other to the death, it was likely that one of them was on good terms with the other. On the outside, everyone seemed friendly to each other, but secretly, there must have been a lot of betrayals going on.
Why would he think about that? What does this have to do with him?
Hong Dali laughed and randomly chose a seat to the back. After sitting down, he pulled out his phone and started reading novels. He's ready. He specifically brought a long-sleeved shirt. It would be nice to take a nap when she is sleepy after reading her novel.
He could not read for long before he heard the commotion. Then, the MC's voice boomed. "It's time. Three Elders have arrived. ”
Upon hearing the announcement, everyone present stood up in a melee. Hong Dali turned his head and saw the three — Elders Hong Tu, Hong Wei, and Hong Ying — making a huge entrance that led the troupe of over twenty people.
Everyone present gave a standing ovation.
"Is everyone here?" Elder Hong Tu raised his hand and made an urgent gesture. “Everything, sitting. ”
Everybody sit down.
As soon as Hong Tu and the others also sat down, the MC announced loudly. “The meeting to choose the most reputable offspring will now begin. ”
Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers outside, a family gathering for the descendants of the Hong Family began.
Now it was Old Elder Hong Tu's turn to make a speech. His speech lasted for about ten minutes, encouraging the family descendants to try their best to carve out a niche for themselves. The family did not want to use the funds for the descendants who were willing to work hard. Hong Dali bowed in the back, quietly reading his novel, and only heard it bit by bit.
When Elder Hong Tu finished speaking, it was Second Elder Hong Wei's turn. This old man was more concise, his speech only lasted a short while. This earned him the approval of the descendants of the families present.
Following which, Third Elder Hong Ying announced the start of the selection for the most reputable family descendants. That signifies the start of the actual event.
How else could it be said that this family gathering was not only a fierce competition but also an official event? Even Hong Dali had put away his novel. Even though she was not interested in the placement, she remained a member of the Hong Family and should at least know how this event would take place …
Then, he saw a smart-looking female secretary standing at the side. He held the microphone in his ear and announced, “Our first competitor, Hong Tianyun. ”
“Hong Tianyun, 23, who placed thirty-sixth in 2013, received two million investment funds. Current projects: one middle to upper class hotel, one gym, one bathroom. Investment status: Hotel, 700,000 invested. Annual return: 420,000. Gym, 300,000 invested Annual return: 170,000. Bathhouse, 660,000 invested Annual return: 390,000. All the remaining funds are used as buoys. Final result: Annual return of 49%, equivalent to an increase of 12% of the total value. Welcome to Hong Tianyun as he submits his business proposal ”
Hong Dali was silent as he listened. He should not underestimate his family members. Even someone in the thirty-sixth place can earn an annual net profit of 49%. That's no small feat.
When Hong Tianyun stood up, Hong Dali felt a surge of joy — wasn't this the unlucky brother who was crushed by the orange thrown by Hong Yufei?
Hong Tianyun stood up and solemnly issued a report. He bowed to everyone sitting around before stating: "In this coming year, I want to develop a personal club. ”
