Xu Pingsheng has been traveling from Guangdong to Hong Kong for decades. Because he was not rich since childhood, he was now known as the King of Hong Kong Ship, but he is still far inferior to Shanghai Shanghai Businessmen like Yu Shiting, who have eaten and seen before.

This is also why Shanghai people call Hong Kong people like locals who have never seen the world after they come to Hong Kong.

It’s like when Yu Shiting was entertaining Song Tianyao, he chose the hospitality place among the quiet gardens he spent hundreds of dollars to buy. Just one quiet garden could be equal to all the shops on the five streets in the East District of Hong Kong Island. For Shiting, this is just a leisure garden where he can relax, and he may not go in for a month.

In contrast, Xu Pingsheng's plan to entertain local and Hong Kong ship dealers tonight was much smaller. He set up a dinner in his backyard, with more than a dozen tables in the open air. Although there were all lighting facilities, he specially invited a Western band to accompany him. However, compared to Yu Shiting's generousness, Xu Pingsheng was more like an ordinary businessman who lived a thrifty family life.

However, no one would ridicule Xu Pingsheng for being stingy, but he just had different hobbies. He liked horse racing. The money he spent on the horse team over the years was probably enough to buy two or three quiet gardens, and his pursuit of his quality of life was placed at the bottom.

Besides, all the guests who were sitting today knew that Xu Pingsheng invited them to the banquet just to decorate the supporting role. The real protagonists are Song Tianyao and Tan Jingwei, who are in the limelight recently. Especially Song Tianyao, who is now being rewarded with a high price outside to set up his life and set up the dinner in Xu Mansion. Even if the thief who is not open to his eyes, he will probably have to give up the little thought in his heart.

"Boss Xu is protecting Song Tianyao!" A Hong Kong boat merchant sat at the dining table, observing the guests coming and going, and expressing his opinions to the people at the table.

Another boat dealer sitting on his left shook his head: "Whether to protect him or not depends on how the two sides talk tonight. If the agreement cannot be reached, Song Tianyao may not have left Xu's mansion."

The remaining ship merchants at the same table also nodded secretly, obviously agreeing with this statement. The key point of the matter now lies in the irreconcilable contradiction between Song Tianyao and Tan Jingwei. If this problem is not solved, those outsiders will not be able to see clearly who is the enemy and who is the friend.

"I heard that Chu Xiaozhong also sent two million dark flowers to kill Song Tianyao. Tonight it was probably not just the grudge between Song Tianyao and Tan Jingwei!" A Shanghai boat merchant sitting on another table picked up his wine glass and looked up at the side door of the backyard. There was a small foreign building built there. Through the windows of the foreign building, you could vaguely see the shadow inside.

In addition to inviting ship merchants from Hong Kong and Shanghai tonight, Xu Pingsheng also invited Chu Yaozong, Yu Shiting, Lu Wenhui, Zhou Xiyu, Cai Wenbai, Gu Quan and others. Any of these people were able to stomp their feet, which was enough to cause turmoil in the entire Hong Kong economic chain. Only Chinese tycoons of the same level as them could invite these people out and gather together.

Of course, these real Chinese tycoons cannot place a few tables on the green lawn of the backyard like the supporting actors downstairs to entertain things. Even if they don’t care, Xu Pingsheng, as the host, cannot afford to lose this person.

In the spacious second-floor conference hall, there were no long tables, only a few sofas were placed at will, and tea cases were placed in front of the sofa. After Xu Pingsheng invited a group of Chinese tycoons to sit down one after another, he was the last one to sit down and looked at everyone with a smile.

"It's rare that you all have time today. You are willing to sit at my house for a while." Xu Pingsheng smiled kindly, looked at Chu Yaozong who was smiling but silent, and pointed to the tea set on the tea table in front of him: "Yaozong, Pu'er tea cakes from the Daoguang period, I specially asked for them from Xiyu. You must try them well today."

When Zhou Xiyu heard him mention him, he laughed: "I'm wondering if you can't even taste Biluochun and Tieguanyin, why did you focus on my tea cake? It turned out to be a favor."

Chu Yaozong also laughed: "Okay, Zhou Xiyu, you lied to me last time and said you had drunk all this tea cake. It turned out that I wanted to hide it and enjoy it slowly. My friendship with you for decades is not as good as this tea cake?"

"Friendship is friendship, tea cake is tea cake." Zhou Xiyu smiled in his eyes: "If you really talk about friendship, why don't you take out the two big red robes hidden in your home to entertain me?"

Everyone in the hall knew that Chu Yaozong and Zhou Xiyu were both gluttons in tea. At this time, they couldn't help but smile at them when they heard the two of them bickering.

"Boss Yu, I don't plan to run away next year from Hong Kong to South Africa." Xu Pingsheng turned his face and looked at Yu Shiting with a sincere tone: "I heard that Zhong Zhong's birthday is about to be celebrated, so I will treat him as a birthday gift in advance. What do you think?"

The room was quiet, and everyone looked at Yu Shiting's face without hesitation. Xu Pingsheng and Yu Shiting, the two ship kings, have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. Now one side takes the initiative to give in. Even a fool can smell the unusual smell, let alone these old ghosts.

Yu Shiting stroked the jade ring worn on his thumb and smiled and looked back at Xu Pingsheng: "Boss Xu, didn't you agree that today is a family dinner and not to discuss business? You gave such a big gift for no reason, I'm afraid I won't be able to get back in the future!"

Go back to your mother! Xu Pingsheng had already cursed Yu Shiting in his heart, but the smile on his face did not diminish: "What kind of business is not business? I just think that everyone is Chinese and should help each other. I have occupied this route for so many years. Now the British can't help but want to come in and get a share of the pie and let Jie Zhongjing block their mouths. Could it be that the British can really cut off the flesh from us Chinese?"

This sentence is a bit explicit. Xu Pingsheng spoke Chinese at once. Anyone could hear that he was helping Song Tianyao. Although he said on the surface that the South African route was a birthday gift for Yu Shiting's eldest son Yu Jiezhong, everyone here could hear that this gift was more like a gift, a gift for Yu Shiting's adopted daughter and Song Tianyao.

Gu Quan, the boss of Yong'an Group, coughed gently and said to everyone in the hall with a smile: "When it comes to gifts, my daughter Linshan is going to get married in a while. Boss Xu, we have known each other for so many years, so you can't favor one or the other!"

Yu Shiting heard Gu Quan speak, snorted softly, and turned his head aside.

Gu Quan's daughter Gu Linshan joined forces with Tan Jingwei and has been suppressing the stocks held by Shanghai people recently. However, because it is a struggle between juniors, tycoons of Yu Shiting's level cannot intervene. Otherwise, Hong Kong people are still fighting with Shanghai people on the surface, and it will evolve into a big game between the two sides of capital, which will be of no benefit to anyone.

However, Gu Linshan and Tan Jingwei are backed by Yong'an Bank and the other are backed by Taiwan. The energy of the two sides' joint efforts cannot be underestimated. At least from the current situation, Song Tianyao has retreated step by step, as if at the end of his strength and is struggling.

Now Gu Quan mentioned Gu Linshan's marriage, which was clearly telling everyone present that if Yu Shiting could support Song Tianyao, Yong'an could also support Tan Jingwei.

"Brother Quan..." Xu Pingsheng looked at Yu Shiting's face and was about to speak up to smooth things over, but Gu Quan did not give him this opportunity.

Gu Quan interrupted Xu Pingsheng: "Boss Xu, I guess you know it too. My son-in-law is also a Chinese. Everyone here will not refuse to recognize this, right?"

When everyone in the hall heard this, their expressions were different, and no one jumped out to refute Gu Quan.

Song Tianyao is Chinese, and Tan Jingwei is of course Chinese, but one represents the mainland and the other represents Taiwan. It is too big to confuse the difference between them.

But Gu Quan's words cannot be faulted by reason. Xu Pingsheng made the name of the Chinese to support Song Tianyao, but who dared to say that Tan Jingwei was not a Chinese? This kind of team is not a casual stand. No matter how much capital you have, it will be no different from a harmless fat sheep after it rises to the political level.

The atmosphere in the hall was solidified, and several Chinese tycoons were holding teacups or holding cigars, all of whom looked like they were not concerned about their own affairs.

Lu Wenhui is a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. His backer is British. Even if he has a clear position at this time, he cannot stand up and speak for Song Tianyao or Tan Jingwei.

The situation of the three of Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce Chu Yaozong, Dongguan Chamber of Commerce Zhou Xiyu, and Wuyi Chamber of Commerce Cai Wenbai are actually the same as Lu Wenhui. Moreover, the three of them have talked about this matter more than once in private, and have concluded that they will never touch the pool of water without touching it. Their position represents not only themselves, but also thousands of fellow villagers who follow them to eat behind them. The consequences are unimaginable.

However, Chu Yaozong, the president of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, did not want to speak, but Xu Pingsheng was not going to let him go.

"Yaozong, you trained people. Don't you say a few words at this time?" Xu Pingsheng looked at Chu Yaozong, who was like an old monk entering into meditation, and asked with a smile.
