Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss
Chapter 317: Farce in front of the Ancestral Hall
This bad-mouthed Xiong is still as reckless as ever. Although he is the head of the fifth branch of the Lu family, he cannot compare with Lu Hantao. The entire fifth branch cannot compare with the first branch. The first branch has the largest number of people, with nearly a thousand households, while the fifth branch has less than thirty households.
As for Lanzuixiong, the head of the fifth room, only the people in the fifth room have to give him face. Most people in other rooms will not buy into his account.
After Lanzuixiong finished speaking, Lu Yongfu went straight to confront him without Lu Hantao saying anything.
"Uncle Xiong, what you said is wrong. Ding Quan was priced at this price back then. When we bought it, we saw that everyone was surnamed Lu, and we even gave each Ding Quan an extra 20,000. Can you call that taking advantage of your own people?"
As Lu Yongfu finished speaking, Lu Jianbo next to him started shouting, "When we bought the Ding rights at the beginning of the year, the government didn't say it would build Ding houses. We paid a high price to buy the Ding rights from everyone. If the Ding houses hadn't been built, we would have lost money.
If we lost money, would you not make such a fuss like today?
We both agreed to buy Dingquan, but now that the price has gone up, you're making a fuss. How can you handle things this way?"
Lanzui Xiong was speechless after being confronted by the two people. It was true that what Lu Hantao did was a bit unfair, but what the other people said made sense. When buying Ding Quan, there was no forced buying or selling. It was a matter of mutual consent. Now that the price has increased, they regret it. How could such a good thing happen in the world?
Unable to win the argument, Lanzui Xiong started to act like a superior.
"Lu Yongfu, Lu Jianbo, I'm talking to your Uncle Tao. If you have any questions, go and cool off wherever you need to."
At this time, Lu Jinqiang stood up and said, "Uncle Xiong, we originally sold the Ding rights and land to Luguo Group. Although the company was founded by Uncle Tao, he is only one of the company's shareholders. Uncle Tao cannot make the decision on this matter alone.
Also, today is a great day for ancestor worship. If you start a disturbance, won't outsiders laugh at us Lu family members for being disunited?"
At this time, Lu Hanjiu had already pulled Lu Yongqiang into the crowd. After hearing what Lu Jinqiang said, Lu Hanjiu said, "It is precisely because today is the day of ancestor worship and most of the Lu family members are here that we should talk about this matter.
It would be best to let Lu Hantao speak in front of the ancestral tablets and ask him whether he is qualified to be the head of the family? He actually took the lead in plotting against his own family members.
As Lu Hanjiu finished speaking, Lu Hantao stood up from his chair and said coldly, "Old Nine, whether I'm qualified to be the head of the family or not, you don't need to comment on it. We all have our own conclusions."
"Everyone, today is the day for us Lu family to worship our ancestors. This is not just a matter for me, Lu Hantao, but a major event for our entire Lu family. Are you sure you want to follow others in making trouble over this matter? If you really mess up this important event of worshipping our ancestors, it won't just be me, Lu Hantao, who will lose face.
As for Ding Quan's matter, if you feel you've lost money selling it, you can go to the Luguo Group to discuss it. If the discussion doesn't work out, you can sue the Luguo Group in court. Today, during the ancestral worship, let's just calmly handle this matter. What do you think?"
Lu Hantao has great prestige among the Lu people. When he spoke, many people immediately hesitated.
Since the beginning of the year, Luguo Group has purchased four to five hundred Ding rights, but these Ding rights are not only held by people with the surname Lu. People with the surname Lu only sell dozens or hundreds of them to Luguo Group at most.
The heads of several families took the lead in causing trouble, but they were not actually doing it to support these people. Instead, they were jealous. In the final analysis, they were jealous of Lu Hantao's wealth.
Seeing that many people's attitudes had changed, Lu Hanjiu immediately spoke up, "Lu Hantao, you are the head of the Lu family. Now you drive a luxury car and live in a big villa. If you eat meat, why not let everyone else have some soup? You eat everything by yourself. Isn't that bad?"
After Lu Hanjiu finished speaking, Lu Jinqiang said, "Uncle Jiu, what you said is not right. When has Uncle Tao ever eaten alone? He always thinks about everyone.
Just like what happened this time, building a small house building will not only make money for Uncle Tao, but everyone can also benefit a lot.
Building this building will require a lot of workers. Everyone can go to the construction site to work. Wouldn't that earn more than farming?
Also, although everyone holds the Ding right, many people simply do not have the money to repair their houses. Instead of this, it would be better to cash in the Ding right. With money in hand, one can start a small business or something. Isn't it better than a family guarding a few pieces of broken land as they do now?
With the land everyone was allocated, how much could they earn after a year of hard work? Just enough to feed and clothe the family, with hardly any left for savings. Did everyone want their children and grandchildren to continue living like this?
Now Uncle Tao has found a big boss to invest in us, and they're planning to build a building in this remote area. This is our chance to turn things around. Instead of being grateful to Uncle Tao, everyone is trying to sabotage him. That's not how things should be done."
The fact that Lu Jinqiang could become Lu Hantao's boss shows that he is really good at speaking and doing things. His words not only refuted Lu Hanjiu's words, but also painted a big picture for everyone.
In that era, the New Territories was still considered a remote and poor area in Hong Kong, and farming did not make money. Few of the younger generation were willing to stay and farm.
After Lu Jinqiang finished speaking, Lu Hanjiu was completely at a loss for words. He looked at Lanzuixiong and the others, and saw that when they were glanced at by him, they either lowered their heads or pretended to chat in a low voice with the people next to them. It was obvious that they didn't know what to say.
Lu Hanjiu glanced around and saw the two brothers Lu Yongqiang and Lu Yongheng hiding in the crowd to watch the excitement. Lu Hanjiu said, "Qiangzi, Hengzi, you two brothers have always been the leaders of the younger generation of our Lu family. What do you two brothers think of what happened today?"
"How do I watch? I'm just standing there watching?" Lu Yongqiang cursed in his heart. In fact, he was very reluctant to take the lead in today's matter.
But since Lu Hanjiu called him, Lu Yongqiang had no choice but to stand up.
"Uncle Jiu, I shouldn't express my opinion when you elders are talking, but since you called me, I will share my opinion. If it's not good, please forgive me, elders.
Actually, Uncle Tao did nothing wrong in buying Ding Quan. Firstly, as Jin Qiang said, Uncle Tao is just one of the shareholders of Luguo Group. Uncle Tao cannot decide the price to buy Ding Quan on his own.
Secondly, the market price was just that much at the time, and Uncle Tao didn't force any purchase or sale. Since someone sold Ding Quan at the time, they should just consider themselves unlucky. Isn't it too late to regret it now?"
Before Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Lu Hanjiu became anxious. He pulled Lu Yongqiang's arm and interrupted, "Qiangzi, which side are you from..."
"Uncle Jiu, can you let me finish what I'm saying? Even if I'm wrong, can you express your opinion later?"
Lu Yongqiang interrupted Lu Hanjiu with some dissatisfaction. After Lu Hanjiu shut up, Lu Yongqiang continued, "Uncle Tao, although there is nothing wrong with what you did in buying Dingquan, Uncle Tao, you are the head of our Lu family. We, the subordinates, feel that we have suffered a loss and want to ask you to make a decision. There is nothing wrong with that.
Uncle Tao, how about this? Since so many of our clansmen feel they've been wronged, as the head of the family, can you please talk to the other shareholders of the Luguo Group and see if you can offer them some compensation? Three to five thousand isn't too little, and thirty to fifty thousand isn't too much. It's at least a token of appreciation, right? After all, you're not only a shareholder of the Luguo Group, you're also the head of our Lu family."
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Lu Hantao thought for a moment and said, "Qiangzi is right. I am not only one of the shareholders of the Luguo Group, but also the head of the Lu family. I should indeed fight for some compensation for everyone."
"Today, let's all pay our respects to our ancestors. I'll keep the compensation in mind. Tomorrow, I'll talk to the other shareholders of the company and try to get some compensation for everyone."
As soon as Lu Hantao finished speaking, cheers immediately broke out from the audience.
Lu Hantao pressed down with his hand, and after the scene became quieter, he said, "Since everyone has no objection, then get busy and don't delay the auspicious time for ancestor worship." After that, Lu Hantao turned and went to the ancestral hall.
As soon as Lu Hantao left, Lu Hanjiu pulled Lu Yongqiang and said dissatisfiedly: "Qiangzi, how could you do this? We are in the same group, but you are speaking for Lu Hantao."
Lu Yongqiang smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Jiu, I don't like what you said. What do you mean by speaking for Uncle Tao?
In today's situation, if we continue to make a fuss, there will be no result. Just like Jin Qiang said, Uncle Tao is just one of the shareholders and he cannot make the decision. There is also an agreement signed in black and white. It is impossible for everyone to make a fuss and then they will return Ding Quan to you. This is all real money.
Now, a Dingquan family can earn at least 100,000 yuan, and if there are a hundred or so of them, that’s nearly 10 million yuan in profit. They have already earned it, so how can they spit it out?
It's so good now. I've helped Uncle Tao, so I'll definitely give everyone some compensation. It might not be much, but even if it's just one dollar, it's still a profit."
At this point, Lu Yongqiang lowered his voice and said, "My dear elders, Uncle Tao's situation is already established. In fact, there is no need for us to offend Uncle Tao. Instead, we should build a good relationship with him. When Uncle Tao eats the meat, we can also drink the soup, right?"
As soon as Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, several people's eyes lit up. They were the ones who led the riot today. In the final analysis, they were just jealous. If they could get a piece of the pie, then they would let others die...
After asking for help from several elders, Lu Yongqiang and Lu Yongheng found another corner to hide in.
But just after hiding for a while, Lu Jinqiang and Lu Yongfu came looking for him.
Lu Yongfu took out cigarettes and passed them out to everyone. Lu Jinqiang said, "Yongqiang, Yongheng, I've been looking for you everywhere. Why did you end up here? This place is really hard to find."
Lu Yongqiang took the cigarette that Lu Yongfu handed him, sniffed it without lighting it, and then put the cigarette between his ears before saying, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Lu Jinqiang nodded and said, "Yongqiang, I went to your real estate company to look for you last time, but your sister-in-law said you weren't there. I chatted with her for a few minutes, but I wonder if she told you about this after she went back."
Lu Yongqiang nodded and said, "Yes, he told me when he got home. He said that Jinqiang, you wanted to invest with me and that you were planning to open a building materials wholesale company with me."
