Soon the second son of the Dong family came to the room where the eight helpers were, and the meaning was obvious; the time was almost up, let everyone prepare. Being able to come over to attend his father's funeral is already very good, and helping the spirit in person is a good friend. As a family, I am more than grateful.
Moreover, the identities and positions of the 8 Fuling people this time are absolutely impeccable; at least in the Hong Kong Chinese circle, there is no such thing. That is to say, if Dong Lao passed away, it would never be possible for someone else to do it.
Huo Yingdong had close contacts with the Dong family and had a great influence on them. Therefore, at many critical moments, it is still up to him to speak. This is not only a recognition of the strength of the Huo family, but also a kind of respect.
Huo Yingdong: "Second child, is the ceremony about to start?"
Second Young Master Dong hurriedly replied: "Yes, everything is ready; just waiting for you to appear."
The eight people didn't say anything, but hurriedly sorted out their clothes. This is a solemn occasion, and no one can make a mistake.
Soon eight helpers appeared on both sides of the coffin. Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang are in the first row on the left and right, Zheng Yutong and He Hongsheng are behind them, Li Chao and Li Zhaoji are behind, Hu Yingxiang and Bao Zixuan are at the back.
Seeing these eight helpers appear, everyone gasped. There is a new understanding of the true strength of the Dong family. The identity and status of Fuling people are one aspect, they can be for Elder Dong;
The contradiction between the richest man Bao Zixuan and the jewelry king Zheng Yutong is known to all of Hong Kong. The two don't fight when they meet, but at least they won't give each other a good look. But seeing them now, they all want to send Old Dong the last ride. It's not just a matter of tolerance, but also respect for the deceased.
The host's deep voice began to introduce Dong Lao's life: "Mr. Dong Haoyun, who has longed for the sea since childhood, joined the shipping industry in China at the age of 16, and forged a lifelong bond with him. In 1931, when he was only 20 years old, he came alone. When he arrived in Tianjin, he worked hard in the Tianjin Shipping Company, from secretary to director of the shipping department to the executive committee member of the Tianjin Shipping Industry Association; at the beginning of 1938, after accumulating rich shipping experience, he returned to Shanghai and has been since The establishment of Huaxia Shipping Trust Company has created a number of firsts in the history of shipping in China, Asia and even the world, and thus enjoys the reputation of "Modern Zheng He"."
"He was a giant in the shipping industry, but more importantly he was an amiable, generous, unrepentant man; he was a great man, but he had a charm that made people approachable."
"Today we have lost a close friend and relative; Xiangjiang has lost a great entrepreneur; the world shipping industry has lost a pilot."
"Mr. Dong Haoyun's friends came to see him off together. On behalf of the family, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for coming. At the same time, I would like to thank the eight spiritual supporters today, who accompanied Mr. Dong Haoyun on the final journey."
"They are Mr. Huo Yingdong, Chairman of Huo Xingyetang Real Estate Co., Ltd.; Mr. Bao Yugang, Chairman of Global Shipping Group; Mr. Zheng Yutong, Chairman of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery; Mr. He Hongsheng, Chairman of Casino Entertainment Co., Ltd.; Mr. Li Chaoren, Chairman of Cheung Kong Industrial Corporation ; Mr. Li Zhaoji, Chairman of Henderson Development Co., Ltd.; Mr. Hu Yingxiang, Chairman of Hopewell Industrial Co., Ltd.; Mr. Bao Zixuan, Chairman of Black Cloud Group."
"I believe that Mr. Dong will be able to see his eight friends in the sky, showing his reluctance and love for him."
Introducing Fuling people is also a recognition of the deceased's achievements in life; if there is no strength, how can so many tycoons be invited to help them.
After walking a circle according to the process, start to worship.
The media reporter was once again shocked by the Dong family's network, and there were people in that country who came to pay their respects. But one thing must be admitted, they are all elites from various countries and fields; no one can deny this.
Rainier III, the head of state of Monaco, first came to the mourning hall and bowed three times to the photo of Mr. Dong and the coffin. As the head of a country, it is very rare to be able to attend the funeral of a businessman in person.
Seeing this Bao Zixuan suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Dong Haoyun died of a heart attack at the age of 70 just when he was welcoming Monaco's head of state Rainier III to visit Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, at the funeral of this life, the other party will come to worship first. It seems that there is doom in the dark, and some things cannot be avoided at all.
Hong Kong is still managed by the British, and the British royal family will definitely send representatives over. This is a good opportunity to buy people's hearts, and no one will let it go.
Prince Andrew, on behalf of the British royal family, pays homage to Mr. Dong, which can be regarded as enough face. Although he is the queen's second son, in many cases, his influence is not much smaller than that of his eldest brother, Crown Prince Charles.
Immediately afterwards, Governor Yoder appeared in the mourning hall. In the eyes of everyone, this was just a routine operation. But today Youde was dressed very solemnly, but he didn't dare to slack off.
Bao Zixuan was a little surprised by the appearance of Shen Bi. After all, the Dong family has no financial relationship with HSBC. Seeing that Shen Bi was obviously a lot older, he felt like a hero was twilight, and I really felt sorry for this old guy.
From the perspective of HSBC and the British, there is nothing wrong with Shen Bi. After all, no one can tell in which direction Heung Kong will develop in the future; many policies are still unclear. With HSBC's existence as a quasi-central bank, and itself a British business, there are of course concerns.
It is normal to do things that are not in line with the interests of other companies and individuals. It is just that the interests of too many people are harmed, which has led to the current situation.
In fact, there is another most important reason, that is, the Black Cloud Group should not be offended. But when Shen Bi found out, it was already too late. It is almost possible to remedy it, and Bao Zixuan will not give him this chance.
The appearance of Zhang Yuliang surprised the media reporters. After all, everyone who knew the Zhang family knew it. This is an old-fashioned family, and it has not had deep contacts with the emerging forces in Hong Kong. And Zhang Yuliang basically did not attend any important activities, and the funeral was the first time.
Is it because of the richest man? But it is also unlikely, the Zhang family has inherent pride. It can only be explained that Mr. Dong's face is big enough and his connections are wide enough.
Later, celebrities from all walks of life in Xiangjiang came to pay their respects. Fortunately, everyone understood that many people came here today. There is absolutely no way to cause trouble for the host, not even the entertainment stars; today is not their show.
The Japanese Sumitomo family is not only Sumitomo Takeshi, the head of the Hong Kong branch, but even his father came to Hong Kong from Japan urgently.
Sumitomo Yi's father and Dong have known each other for a long time, and it can be said that the relationship is inseparable. Of course, when an old friend passes away, he has to send him the last ride, which is considered a little bit of his heart.
As the future patriarch of the Sumitomo family, his arrival also aroused great repercussions. The Sumitomo family is definitely a prestigious family in Japan and has a strong influence. People all sighed that the Dong family's network of contacts was really wide, and even such a family had to send major figures to pay homage.
Later, the media saw Guo Desheng, Zeng Xianzi, Lin Baixin and other big business leaders; with the foreshadowing before, these people came to make the media accustomed to it.
The Dong family only arranged for one day. In fact, according to Mr. Dong's wishes, everything should be kept simple. However, considering many problems and influences, although the Dong family did not fully comply with the wishes of the old man, they also appropriately reduced the scale.
But even so, there are still too many people coming to worship; it is enough to show the prestige and connections of the old man during his lifetime.
But at the same time, everyone also knows This is also the final swan song of the ship king. The Dong family wants to continue to prosper; future generations, especially the eldest son of the Dong family, must carry the banner. If he can't inherit his father's mantle, or his ability is much weaker, then the situation of the Dong family will become very embarrassing.
If you want to have a good relationship, or to mix in a circle, it is very important to have equal strength. If there is a change in your family, or your strength is seriously damaged; even if other people don't dislike it, you may feel embarrassed yourself.
The Dong family is definitely one of the top rich people in Xiangjiang, and there is no problem with ranking the top ten. After Dong Lao passed away, it is very critical whether he is facing separation. Of course, this is the focus of media attention, or the employees of various branches of the Dong family will also be concerned. It will not have a great impact on others, and of course there is no shortage of people watching.
In the shock of the Hong Kong media and the public, Dong Haoyun's funeral ended. Until many years later, all felt the influence of Mr. Dong. At the same time, it was also discovered that the funeral of Mr. Dong was actually the last time the rich Chinese in Hong Kong got together; there was no one after that, so that all the tycoons could sit together peacefully.
Even Bao Zixuan and Huo Yingdong can't do it, maybe when the two of them go away, they may appear!
