Why should I act on my own when there are others?
Chapter 202 Birthday
Today is Uncle Ding’s birthday.
All the important members in Southeast Asia and those from Taiwan’s motherland have returned.
After receiving the notice, they began to arrange the things at hand and set off back.
The usually harmonious relationship started to become competitive at this time. Everyone was thinking about what gift to give so as not to be worse than others, and completely forgot what Lin Cheng said at the beginning.
This situation is not only happening in Kowloon, but also happening outside Kowloon.
Whether it was the Huo family, the Li family, or anyone else, they were all thinking about what kind of gift to prepare so as not to lose face and to make Lin Cheng remember them better.
Even those who had not received an invitation began preparing gifts.
They didn't care whether they were invited or not, they just knew they couldn't miss this opportunity. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that those who followed Jiulong made more money than the others. How could they not be jealous and not want to follow Jiulong's lead?
And how could they miss the grandpa’s birthday party in Kowloon?
Can't we go without an invitation? These people have seen all kinds of shameless scenes.
What these people didn't expect was that even the Governor of Hong Kong prepared gifts this time.
If the people in Hong Kong knew about this, they would be shocked. After all, no one in Hong Kong knew about the affairs between Kowloon and the British, but the Governor of Hong Kong still came to attend the gift-giving ceremony.
No one knows better than them what this means.
This time, Lin Cheng gave full authority to Gao Jin, Han Bin and Fatty Wang to arrange the birthday banquet.
After all, Lin Cheng is not very clear about this aspect, so it is better to let someone who is clear about it do it.
Lin Cheng was still very relieved to leave this matter to the three of them.
At this time in Tuen Mun Hotel, a group of important members of Kowloon who had rushed back from various places were discussing here.
Ah Hu looked at his two brothers:
"Big Brother, what gifts have you prepared for the old man?"
This time, Ah Hu spent a lot of effort to prepare the gift for Wanwan, and he felt that it must be no worse than theirs.
After hearing Ah Hu's question, the others looked at them curiously. But how could they possibly tell him? After all, they were still waiting to show up at Lin Chenghao's place tomorrow.
Tony looked at his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time and patted his head.
"What's up, kid? Have you prepared a gift to compete with me? Today we will compete with you and let you know that I will always be your brother, hahaha."
Others also laughed.
After all, this is the old man's 80th birthday, and they want to give him a surprise. Seeing that the three of them are going to compete, how can they be left out?
Because the old man had already sent Lin Cheng to Kowloon Manor today, they all gathered at Tuen Mun Hotel.
The Tuen Mun Hotel is a hotel developed in Kowloon over the past three years. With capital inflows from Kowloon, the Tuen Mun Hotel has gradually become the largest and most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong Island.
Now many wealthy people in Hong Kong Island have begun to abandon the Peninsula Hotel and choose the Tuen Mun Hotel. In addition to the luxury of the Tuen Mun Hotel, another important reason is the Kowloon Group behind the Tuen Mun Hotel.
Because now many people are trying to find a way to get to Kowloon.
So when they choose Tuen Mun Hotel, they are choosing Kowloon Group.
With the support of these people, Tuen Mun Hotel gradually surpassed the Peninsula Hotel and became the most ideal hotel for celebrities and wealthy people.
Seeing this, Ah Hu knew that his two brothers would not tell him, but he was not discouraged.
He thought that the gift he prepared would definitely satisfy his grandfather, and he would be able to surpass his two brothers.
At this time, someone suggested: "Since everyone has prepared gifts, why don't we guess what each other has given!"
This proposal received responses from everyone, and a lively guessing game began.
Everyone expressed their ideal gifts. Some said precious antiques, some said rare jewelry, and some said expensive calligraphy and paintings.
Everyone was confident in their gifts and looked forward to showing off in front of the old man tomorrow.
"I guess the old man's favorite must be the original painting of Tang Bohu that I gave him!" Abao said proudly.
"Tsk, that's nothing. What I gave you is a fist-sized luminous pearl!" Aaron was not willing to be outdone.
"Stop arguing, what I give you is the best, a piece of thousand-year-old cold jade!" Ah Hu interrupted.
Everyone argued endlessly and expressed their own opinions, and it was difficult to tell who would win for a while.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and then a younger brother came in and said respectfully: "Boss, there are a few strangers outside who want to see you."
Everyone became curious. How could a stranger want to see them at this time? Except for Han Bin and a few others who stayed in Hong Kong Island, the rest were sent out.
The people who were sent out looked at Han Bin and said:
"Maybe it's someone who knows you."
Han Binyao shook his head.
"Then let's go out together and see who wants to see us."
Everyone nodded.
When they walked to the door, they saw three strangers in black suits standing there. One of them stepped forward, handed over a business card, and said, "We are the secretary of the Governor of Hong Kong. We are here to convey the Governor's birthday wishes to the old man and present a special gift." Hearing the name of the Governor of Hong Kong, everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that the Governor of Hong Kong would send someone to deliver a gift in person, and at this time. Ah Bao took the business card, took a look at it, and muttered to himself, "Does the Governor of Hong Kong also want to get close to Kowloon?" He turned to look at the other brothers and found that everyone's expression was similar. "I hope you will pass this gift on to the old man." The secretary smiled slightly and handed over an exquisite wooden box. A Long carefully took the wooden box and opened it. Inside was a yellowed ancient book. There were several ancient characters engraved on the cover of the book, which looked quite mysterious. "This is..." A Long asked in confusion. The secretary explained, "This is an ancient medical book, which is said to contain some miraculous prescriptions for curing diseases. The Governor of Hong Kong learned that the old man was unwell, so he specially found this book, hoping that it would help the old man's health." After hearing this, everyone's heart was moved. This gift may seem simple, but it contains the Governor's thoughts and care. Moreover, this medical book may really help the old man's condition. "Thank the Governor for us." A Long said quickly. The secretary nodded and turned to leave. Everyone looked at his back, with a lot of thoughts in their hearts. Originally thought it was just an ordinary birthday banquet, but unexpectedly it attracted the attention of the Governor of Hong Kong. It seems that Kowloon's influence is getting bigger and bigger. In the days to come, there will probably be more challenges and opportunities waiting for them.
They couldn't figure it out. The Governor was on the invitation list and he would come himself. Wouldn't it be better to deliver the gift in person at that time? Besides, shouldn't the gift be delivered to Kowloon Manor?
No one could understand what the Governor of Hong Kong was doing.
