———————
Tianjing City, north of Tianchen Bridge on the North Fifth Ring Road, Tian'ao Forest.
The location here is superior, and the environment is deep but not depressing. A main road passes through the intersection of the North Fourth Ring Road and leads directly to the center of Tianjing. The shady green trees along the road make people feel relaxed and happy. The wide road and few vehicles prove that the traffic conditions here are very good.
And just such a main road with a width of about 20 meters was actually built by the Hong family.
Along this road all the way to the north, the surrounding forests are lush, the weather is myriad, and the scenery is particularly charming. And at the end of this road, in the very center of Tian'ao Forest, a huge manor is located there.
The Hong family, the Hong family manor.
The four major mansions in Tianjing include the "Liu Family Courtyard" of the Liu family of Liu Yihui, the "Pyramid" of the financial tycoon Jiang's family, the "underground kingdom" of the oil tycoon Sun's family, and the last one is that of the Hong family. "The capital of the forest".
The entire Tian'ao forest belongs to the Hong family's private territory. Since the Hong family's manor dares to be named "Forest Capital", the scale is naturally extremely large. The building area of the entire manor is about 200,000 square meters, with nearly a hundred buildings, including four swimming pools, tennis courts, bowling alleys, cinemas, musical theaters, underground cellars, and so on.
In fact, these things are nothing in a mansion in Tianjing City, but the surrounding forests and lakes that are close to primitive ecology, as well as a small hot spring, are quite rare—you can even find them in the mansion. Occasionally, bears come out for food in the forest.
In this manor, there are even three helipads, on which are parked three special helicopters that are used to take members of the Hong family in an emergency assembly. With such a large scale, it is natural to understand why the children of the Hong family fought so hard for the top places in the family meeting - but the family children with outstanding aptitudes are never stingy in the family, and they will make casual moves . That is more than 50 million start-up capital.
The large meeting room in the center of the "Forest Capital" of Hong's Manor.
The meeting room is very spacious, about 500 square meters, and there are quite a few people in it. The three old men sitting at the top have indifferent expressions. Two men and one woman. They are the three most respected elders in the Hong family.
The one in the middle has two-inch white eyebrows and a one-inch white beard on the chin. Although there are many wrinkles on the face, it is full of red light, and the eyes are not cloudy like ordinary old people, but they are still shining brightly. He was wearing a black Chinese tunic suit, with a golden cane in his hand,
Sitting there calmly, it was Hong Weiguo's father, Hong Tu, the contemporary grand elder of the Hong family!
Hong Tu is an old man with a left hand. Wearing a dark red Tang suit covered with gold and big money, and a round black cap on his head, he looks just like the old birthday stars of old families on TV, always squinting, holding a A pair of blood jade-polished fitness balls twirled around, with a kind smile on their faces. He was in good spirits, and occasionally picked up a teacup to sip the good Longjing. This old man is naturally another branch, elder Hong Wei who is the same generation as Hong Tu.
The third person is an old woman with silver hair. With a slightly hunched back, holding a dragon-headed crutch carved in fine rosewood, the whole person looks similar to the old lady She in the general of the Yang family. The only woman in her generation, Elder Hong Ying, is old.
At this time, under the left hands of the three elders, there were three people sitting. One of them was handsome, wearing a silver-gray suit, no tie, and combing his hair back. He turned out to be Hong Anbao's father, Hong Weiguo's fourth brother, Hong Jianye.
The other two, if Hong Dali came, they would be very surprised. They turned out to be Hong Anbao and Hong Ancheng who had met before!
On the other side, sat some elders who had the right to speak and were not weak in the family. Beside them, there were also some younger generations who had performed outstandingly in the family.
"I don't know what father and the two elders mean..." Hong Jianye saluted the three elders respectfully and asked.
Although Hong Tu was his father, as an elder, Hong Jianye naturally did not dare to be rude.
"Jianye, you just said that Dali will be 18 years old in half a month. According to the family rules, the family inspection team should evaluate his business talent, right?" Hong Tu looked at Hong Jianye indifferently. With a glance, he said lightly.
"Yes." Hong Jianye nodded.
"Originally, according to the family rules," Hong Tu said slowly: "The children of the family who have reached the age of 18 will undergo the first evaluation of business talent to carry out the initial asset allocation. But Dali's child is in a special situation. One point, you should know, right?"
"Yes, I know." Hong Jianye said: "But the family rules cannot be broken, otherwise I wouldn't come here early. Once a precedent is set, who will abide by the rules set by our Hong family ancestors in the future? My son is absolutely loyal. Courageous, without any selfishness."
After he finished speaking, the other elders of the family also nodded one after another, and the young people in the surrounding clan couldn't help chuckling. It was obvious that Hong Dali, who came from an extremely noble background, was greatly envied by everyone.
"Sigh, this kid Dali has a very good background, but he is in a special situation. Now he is about to turn eighteen, and the family meeting is about to be held. When he comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Jealousy, these two words are terrible. Really kill without blood..." With a helpless smile, Hong Tu shook his head secretly.
Hong Dali's background is so good, but his own strength is not enough. Although he won a female star in the first time, those can only be regarded as flukes after all, and things can't be done again. Now it is even more heard that he almost burns money to start it. For that "I Am a Singer", more than 5 million reserve funds were poured in in one breath.
Now that these people rushed to Xingshi to inquire about their crimes before the family meeting, they obviously intended to give Hong Weiguo a bad blow, telling him not to allow Hong Dali to spend money recklessly. As Hong Dali's prodigal, once the expedition team sets out and the results come out, it will be a matter of course. No matter how much Hong Weiguo pampers Hong Dali and hinders the family rules, he will definitely be tied up.
When Hong Weiguo turns forty in the future, 90% of all the funds he earned will be taken back by the family because he has no qualified heirs. In this way, the money Hong Weiguo earns can be regarded as making wedding dresses for others.
However, what his fourth son Hong Jianye said just now was reasonable, and even the elder himself couldn't directly object.
One of the most important reasons why the Hong family can develop to this extent is because of the iron-like family rules!
Hong family, don't support idlers!
Any family member who has reached the age of 18 must start investing in the property. He may not be able to take care of it himself because of the need to study, but as long as it is an industry he invests in, the "Forest Capital" of Hong's Manor will send special personnel to deal with it.
As for earning more or less, it all depends on the eyes of the investing family children.
In the history of the Hong family, there have also been a few big dudes who spend their days messing around and not doing business. Without exception, they were completely excluded from the inner circle at the family meeting when they were eighteen years old. I can live comfortably, but it is absolutely impossible to go around like that again.
Although Hong Tu sighed in his heart, the family rules were there, and what Hong Jianye said hit Hong Dali's vital point.
"What you said is somewhat reasonable, but Dali's physical condition, have you considered it?" Hong Tu asked.
"Yes, father." The corner of Hong Jianye's mouth curled into a sneer, and he said, "But this is not the reason for him not to invest. Father, you also know that we children of the Hong family do not need to personally invest after we reach the age of eighteen. To take care of the business, as long as the investment is made, there will naturally be specialized personnel in charge of it. So what I mean is that Dali only needs to choose a few business investments. What's more," Hong Jianye paused, and said slowly: "I heard that Dali During this period of time, my health seems to be getting better. Every day I go to play with Tang Muxin from the Tang family, and I don’t go home to sleep until very late. I think this is not something a sick person should do, right? "
"Well, that's true." Hong Tu nodded and said, "That kid Dali has indeed gotten stronger recently."
At this time, Hong Wei, who was wearing a Tang suit, said with a smile, "Tugeer, Dali's body is healed. This is good news. I did send someone to sneak a look at it before. Not to mention that it's completely fine, at least it's not as good as it used to be." False."
Hong Ying on the side also said: "Oh, this kid Dali has been ill since he was born, he finally got stronger, and he just turned eighteen years old. God is so cruel to him."
"It's fate, it can't be changed." Hong Tu said with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, the last time Dali called me Grandpa was five or six years ago, right? I don't know if I can still call him the next time I see him again. Last time, alas."
Hearing what he said, Hong Wei and Hong Ying also looked sad.
Speaking of which, Hong Dali carried too much hope for them. Since ancient times, it has been said that they are relatives of the next generation, not to mention that Hong Dali is the son of the most outstanding Hong Weiguo in the Hong family's generation? Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Hong Dali was indeed too disappointing.
"Father, it depends on you..." Hong Jianye said: "After all, there are family rules..."
"Well, at least there are still a few days before Dali's birthday on May 28th, let's talk about it later." Thinking of the end, even though he is the current grand elder of the Hong family, Hong Tu could only agree. He really wanted to protect Hong Dali, but it's a pity that no one can break the family rules!
As soon as the Great Elder Hong Tu made the decision, everyone in the surrounding family started to discuss in a low voice: "The Great Elder actually agreed, this time Hong Dali's prodigal son will be in trouble." It would be miserable to return to Hong Dali." "Ah, actually thinking about it, Hong Dali is quite pitiful. Although he came from a good background, he was ill from birth. There's nothing he can do about it." Huh, so what if you have a good background, and you were swept out of the inner circle in the end?"
But I didn't want to, just when everyone was discussing, a deep male voice suddenly sounded: "Are you talking about sending an expedition team when my family Dali is eighteen years old? I object!" (m)
