Chapter 290 The Story of Cinderella and Prince Charming
There has always been a saying in Hong Kong Island: There is a house in the middle of the mountain, there are yachts parked in the Victoria Harbour, there are Rolls-Royces in the garage, and they have to be a Jockey Club member. This is the symbol of Hong Kong Island's status and status.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club is one of the largest and top clubs in Asia.
All the elites in Hong Kong are proud to join the Jockey Club. Basically, the famous and surnamed people in the political and business circles of Hong Kong are members of the Jockey Club.
Most of the Chinese rich people in Hong Kong are also members of the Jockey Club, such as the King of Shipbuilding, Li Chaoren, Li Si Uncle, etc.
In a certain way, only by joining the Jockey Club can one be considered a high-ranking person on Hong Kong Island. Once he becomes a member, he is equivalent to having a high-quality social circle.
However, although the status of a Jockey Club member is popular, it is not easy to actually join.
Members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club are generally divided into horse racing members, full-fee members, company members, and one more is the selection member with a high status.
Among them, the first three types of members can be purchased directly, which is generally not difficult, but selecting members is completely different, and having money is not qualified.
The selected members are at the top of the Jockey Club pyramid, with about 200 people, and are selected by the Jockey Club Board. They are all the most outstanding leaders from all walks of life in Hong Kong, among which, political and business elites are the most.
Moreover, members are qualified to directly recommend others to join the club.
Going further up is the board of directors.
There are 26 people on the board of directors of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, and all of these 26 people are among the top wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong.
Thirteen of the twenty-six people were British.
With 26 people, the number of director seats will drop sharply to more than a dozen in a few years.
Everyone should know the specific reason without saying it clearly.
It's gone far.
Originally, he was able to join the board of directors as a tycoon Huo, but unfortunately his position was too firm and he could only become a selected member in the end.
As Huo Daheng's eldest son, it was not surprising that Huo Zhenting appeared in the Jockey Club.
Speaking of which, compared to Huo Zhenhuan, Huo Wenjun is actually more interested in this famous Master Huo, who was later.
This man played the world-renowned drama "Prince Charming and Cinderella" and directly married the first Miss Hong Kong champion and hugged the beauty.
The love between the rich young master and the Miss Hong Kong champion naturally attracted great attention from the public.
Including countless wealthy families in Hong Kong.
In this century, marriage between wealthy families has almost become the unspoken rule of all major families in Hong Kong, but the eldest son of the Huo family broke this rule and entered the palace of marriage with an ordinary person.
The entire wedding banquet cost more than 1 million yuan, with 360 seats at the Miramar Hotel and 4,000 guests, causing a great sensation.
It is conceivable that the public opinion was so surging at that time. You should know that the prince charming father was one of the top Chinese influences in Hong Kong.
If it weren't for the suppression and restrictions of British politics, the richest Chinese in Hong Kong would definitely not be the chartering king, and there would be no such thing as a double-lift later.
In his previous life, Huo Wenjun only heard of this eldest son. When he saw this real person today, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
He knew the future outcome of this and Miss Hong Kong. As for whether it was good or bad, only the person involved himself knew it.
Let’s not talk about whether the two parties have true love, but the hidden meaning behind this is not as simple as it seems.
Later generations, Huo tycoon once personally admitted that the Huo family was so high-profile to gain popularity for their eldest son Huo Zhenting so that he could conduct "civil sports diplomacy" for China internationally.
In this era, Huo Daheng was one of the few great people who spanned the political and business terms, but he did not have the idea of letting his eldest son inherit the family business.
According to Huo Daheng, Huo Zhenting, the eldest son, should inherit his legacy in sports.
He is a wise man, and he knows that money has reached a certain level, no matter how much it is, it is just a number. Especially in the inland society, where power is always greater than wealth. Even if it is rich enough to rival a country, the country wants to touch you, it is still just a matter of one sentence.
After the death of Huo Daheng in later generations, the family group and enterprises were finally handed over to their second son Huo Zhenhuan, while Huo Zhenting, the eldest son, took over his sports career.
Since Huo Zhenting married his first wife, the most beautiful Hong Kong lady in Hong Kong, Huo Daheng has been paving the way for his eldest son.
In the 1970s, for various reasons, inland athletes were basically isolated in the international sports world.
At that time, even athletes from Hong Kong Island wanted to play football in the mainland, they had to dress up as tourists, secretly finish the game, and then run back secretly.
Otherwise, once discovered, they will be punished by the International Olympic Committee.
To this end, in 1974, the Inland proposed to return to the International Olympic Committee because no one inland could speak at the International Olympic Committee at that time.
Finally, Inland handed over this task to Huo Tycoon, known as a red capitalist, and entrusted him to help Inland speak out at the International Olympic Committee.
Back then, after knowing the idea of the Inland Inland wanted to return to the International Olympic Committee, Huo not only took the lead himself, but also brought his eldest son who was good at English with him.
With his identity as an FIFA executive member and reputation in the international business community, he traveled to and from the International Olympic Committee headquarters and related countries many times, mediated among the International Olympic Committee members, promoted Chinese sports to the world, helped inland football, badminton, bicycle and other projects, and restored legal membership in the international association.
Because of his age, Huo Daheng intends to guide his eldest son who has been with him in the sports industry, hoping that his son will be able to take over his job in the sports industry in the future.
As a famous business tycoon, Huo’s vision is unquestionable. The far-sighted tycoon Huo knows that a country that has abandoned sports for decades will not be a matter of overnight success in international sports.
He needs a successor, a person who can replace himself in sports at any time, and if he gets sick or dies one day, he can continue to work for him and work hard for the sports cause of his motherland.
When Huo Zhenting got married, Huo Daheng mobilized his connections and invited thousands of people from all walks of life.
To build momentum for your eldest son.
Huo Zhenting never refused his father's decision. In his heart, everything his father did was right and he would always follow.
Few people can see that behind Huo Zhenting's grand wedding is the heart of serving the country from Huo tycoon Huo and even the Huo family.
Times have changed, and now Huo Wenjun is reborn back to this era. Standing in front of Huo Zhenting himself, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart.
Ask yourself, it may be really difficult to achieve this if you were yourself. This is also the reason why Huo Wenjun respects Huo Daheng.
He also has a good impression of the entire Huo family.
