"Shunhe Company, Du Boss has arrived."
As the short and forceful words fell, the banquet hall instantly burst into an uproar.
Not only in the outer hall, but in the inner hall as well.
"Shunhe Company? "Which company is this?"
"Never heard of it. Do you know him? Do you know him? We obviously don't know each other, but why did we have to come to our Xu Family's Annual Family Meeting? "
Inside the inner hall, Xu Zhenxi and a few others were discussing amongst themselves in astonishment, but very quickly, they seemed to have realized something.
As their gazes landed on Xu Zhendong and his wife, a few of them laughed sinisterly and said:
"Big brother, sister-in-law, this whatever Shunhe Company's Du Boss, could he be your friend?"
Xu Zhendong nodded his head: "I will go out to welcome them."
"It's true. No wonder I've never heard of any Shunhe Company. They must be some small, unranked companies!"
Xu Zhendong's face was a little stiff. He stood up and walked out of the inner hall, and a middle-aged man had already rushed in with a jogging pace.
"Old Du, thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? For such an important occasion, as your brother, I will definitely support you." "However, my Shunhe Company is too small, I'm afraid they don't like it."
"What are you talking about? Come on in."
Stepping into the inner hall, Du Boss hurriedly congratulated Old Master Xu. He then greeted everyone else, except for Old Master Xu. From start to finish, no one even glanced at him, completely ignoring him.
"Since you've come, then sit down." Old Master Xu spoke, breaking the awkward silence.
Du Boss laughed in distress. Just as he was about to take his seat, he was stopped by Xu Zhenxi:
"Du Boss, wait a moment. After I finish asking my questions, it won't be too late for us to go back to our seats."
Du Boss nodded and stopped.
"Du Boss, may I ask, how big is the company? What's the market value? How much is the annual turnover? "And how much is the profit?"
Du Boss laughed in distress: "Shunhe Corporation is just a small company, its market value is only a few billion. As for its turnover and profits, they are not even worth mentioning."
"A few hundred million market capitalization is indeed too little. In the past, the Annual Family Meeting s of our Xu Family had to have at least ten billion market capitalization to come here and congratulate us."
"Du Boss, since Shunhe Company is so small, I can only trouble you to sit in the outer hall. After all, there will be no one who can sit in the inner hall without a market value of 10 billion. If you stay here, you will only be humiliated. "
Xu Zhenxi's face was full of disdain, and when he spoke, it was even more overbearing.
"Ol 'Three, don't go too far!" Xu Zhendong finally could not endure it any longer.
"Big Brother, I'm just stating a fact."
"You …"
"Old Xu, it's fine. I'll go out and take a seat." The Du Boss turned and walked out of the inner hall.
Long before he had come here, he had already guessed that he might encounter such a situation. Therefore, he had purposely rushed here before the other guests from the Nanjiang River's Xu Family had arrived.
This way, if he really met with such a situation, he wouldn't feel awkward in front of so many people.
"This Du Boss is quite tactful, he doesn't look like some people …" Xu Zhenxi's eyes swept across them and sat down again.
Inside the outer hall, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed as he pointed straight at the inner hall with a sharp glint in his eyes.
… ….
"Jie-Xiong company's Boss Cui is here."
"Yao Hang company's Boss Mei is here."
"Boss Song of Yaowei company is here."
"Xin Chen company's Boss Gong is here."
Perhaps they were all like the Du Boss, knowing that the companies they operated were all weak to the point of being insignificant in front of the Xu Family. They were worried that they would feel awkward in front of even more people.
Xu Zhendong's friends had all arrived before the other guests of the Xu family.
Towards these people, Xu Zhenxi's reaction was exactly the same as before when he treated the Du Boss.
After a series of questions, the crowd rushed to the outer hall.
"This..."
Xu Zhendong's face was stiff.
"It's fine, Old Xu."
Everyone shook their heads and walked out of the inner hall.
"Old Cui, Old Mei, Old Song..."
Xu Zhendong's face was filled with apology, as he gave an awkward and bitter smile.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, the two of you have been working hard in East An for so many years. Recently, the company has gone public, and its market value has even broken through ten billion. Do you only know these lowly cats and dogs?"
"There are a lot of people here, but the one with the largest market value is just over 3 billion!"
"It's also thanks to them being big brother's friends. Otherwise, how could they have the qualifications to enter the banquet hall of our Xu Family's annual gathering!"
"Alright, what's the point of talking so much? His big brother had been doted on by his father. However, speaking of this, we still have to thank our Big Brother properly. If it wasn't for him, how would we know that Big Brother actually has such a good relationship with a bunch of poor bastards! "
The three brothers of Xu Zhennan's group unceasingly sneered sinisterly.
No matter if it was his words or his expression, it was filled with disdain.
In the outer hall, Xu Xinwei and his sister, along with Lin Feng, who were sitting at the most inconspicuous corner, coldly ridiculed:
"Lin Feng, I remember that when we first entered the hall, you said that as long as uncle, aunt and the others are willing, even the five consortia in the country can come and congratulate us? Right? "
"Are these the five big consortia you mentioned?" The highest market capitalization of their company is only 3 billion! "
"Are the five consortia in our country this poor?" "Hahahaha!"
Amidst the cold and disdainful taunts, a loud and clear voice sounded from outside the banquet hall:
"Xinhong Clothing Group, Chairman Wang is here."
A loud and clear voice rang out. A middle-aged man, under the crowd of bodyguards, walked in with large strides.
"Is this Third Bro's friend?"
The old lady seemed to be showing off, her eyes inadvertently swept across Xu Zhendong and his wife.
"That's right, he's Third Bro's friend."
"Mom, New Hong Group's recent development is very fierce, especially this year, it has even attracted an incomparably beautiful financial report. Compared to last year, the profit was a full 30 percent higher. "
Xu Zhenxi's wife said proudly.
While speaking, Xu Zhenxi had already stood up, and quickly walked towards Wang Tianming to welcome him.
"Brother Wang, I'm afraid you have traveled nearly four to five hours from the Xinhe River."
"It's been hard on you, it's been hard on you!"
Wang Tianming laughed loudly and said, "Don't work so hard. With Brother's Annual Family Meeting being such a big matter, not to mention four or five hours' journey, even if Brother is on the other side of Earth, you still have to rush back."
"But to tell you the truth, I feel really tired when I get up early in the morning to hurry on my way."
"Brother Wang, please come in."
Xu Zhenxi's movements were quick, in a moment, he had already invited Boss Wang into the hall.
Inside the inner hall, other than the old couple, everyone else stood up and greeted them. Seeing that, Xu Zhendong and his wife could only follow closely.
Wang Tianming looked at the two of them in astonishment, then turned his attention back to Elder Xu without batting an eyelid:
"Old man, Wang Tianming has come to congratulate you!"
Clasping his fist, he bowed deeply.
The reason why Xinhong had been able to develop to this stage was all thanks to the Xu Family's orders.
Elder Xu nodded his head without saying anything.
"Elder Xu, who are these two?"
Wang Tianming signaled with his hand.
To be able to be arranged in such an important position by the old tutor in Annual Family Meeting, it was enough to show that the two of them were of extraordinary status.
He was a complete businessman. Under such circumstances, he naturally knew what to do.
"Oh, that's my elder brother and elder sister-in-law, but they were chased out of the family by the Old Master many years ago."
"But now, the old tutor has found them again."
Xu Zhenxi replied casually.
"Oh!"
Wang Tianming immediately understood, and gave a "oh" with a deep meaning, not saying anything more.
After finding a seat, the other guests began to arrive.
"Nanjiang River Glass Manufacturing Company, Boss Cui is here."
"Boss Xue of Yongsheng Precision Instruments Import and Export Company has arrived."
"Eastern Emperor Film and Television. Boss Cai is here."
"..."
The Xu family, as the number one family in Nanjiang River and the leader of the second-line consortia. Although the Annual Family Meeting wasn't as lively as those first-line consortia, but the number of guests who came to congratulate were not inferior at all. It was just that there was a difference in level.
Amongst the many guests, some were here for the three brothers of the Xu Family while others were here for the old granny.
Amongst these people, just as Xu Zhenxi had said, the ones with the least market value would at least have a starting price of ten billion. Some of them had already reached tens of billions. Even when compared to their Xu Family, they were not inferior in any way.
"Lin Feng, Little Sister Ruoyun, now do you know the difference between you and our Nanjiang River's Xu Family?"
"Look at our guests, and look at what's going on with your guests!"
Seizing the opportunity, the five siblings in the outer hall continued their cold taunts.
Lin Feng smiled and ignored him. How could an existence that was like an ant enter his eyes?
"Secretary General of the DeChang Chamber of Commerce, Jia Sutra has arrived."
"Nanjiang River's deputy mayor, Vice Mayor Sun is here."
Two even louder voices sounded out, one after the other.
Luo Ping, the secretary-general of the DeChang Merchant Guild, and Sun Miao, the deputy mayor of Nanjiang River. Even Old Master Xu came down from his seat of honor to welcome them.
All the guests in the past Annual Family Meeting were basically the same. After Jia Suo Shi and Vice Mayor Sun arrived, all the guests were considered to be present.
According to the old rules, after they took their seats, the annual Annual Family Meeting of the Xu Family would officially begin.
However, at this moment, an extremely excited voice suddenly sounded from outside the banquet hall:
"Chairman of Yiqiang Stock Company, Chairman Qian is here."
The sound was loud and deafening. Even when Vice Mayor Sun arrived, it was not like this.
