Chapter 1205 Xu Family Kiss Meeting
In the early spring of Yidu City, the air is still filled with a strong chill.
The bare old locust tree trunks are twisted and branches, and the thick trunks that are embraced by four or five people can be seen vaguely on the thick trunks of "Zhao", "Xu * is a big fool", "Li Liyuan grass", "Ba" and other engraved handwritings and various messy lines.
They have new and old, and have survived decades of changes.
Xu Liang's fingers slowly passed through these mottled handwriting and numbers, and his mind was filled with the scene of playing here when he was a boy.
A burst of melancholy surged in my heart.
Although he was reborn, he was only once in his carefree youth.
And it is impossible to go back again. "What are you thinking?" Xu Liang turned around and Jiang Xiaoyang wore a red windbreaker with a black stand-alone cashmere sweater inside. She looked very beautiful with a slender neck with this turtleneck cashmere sweater.
A two-finger-wide belt tied a beautiful bow on the front.
Below are black pencil pants and black women's leather shoes.
The long black and soft hair hangs behind the head, delicate facial features, fair skin, graceful temperament, and mixed with the nobleness emitted from the bones! "I remembered some things when I was a child." "I heard from my mother that you were naughty when you were a child. You like to tease the little girl the most, pulling her hair and taking off her skirt." Jiang Xiaoyang said with a smile.
Xu Liang had a look of memories in his eyes and said with a smile: "I was ignorant at that time, and I always did some ridiculous things to ask for attention.
Businesses should be the same, right?"
"Boys' nature is the same everywhere, but they dare not provoke me."
"Why?"
"My brother would beat them." Jiang Xiaoyang's eyes were full of pride and nostalgia.
Xu Liang nodded. My brother-in-law's temper is indeed like this.
If I knew he was playing outside, I called him and scolded him.
If Jiang Xiaoyang hadn't persuaded him in the middle, they might have fought.
Although the fight has not started, the two have been together for seven or eight years until now, and his relationship with his brother-in-law is also average.
However, this brother-in-law is very nice to his and Jiang Xiaoyang's children and often sends various gifts over. Some of them are made of bullet shells left by the army's target shooting, which shows his intention.
And every time he came back from the army's vacation, he would take his two nephews out for various fun.
So, Xu Liang has always respected this brother-in-law very much.
Dingling...
The cell phone ringing rang.
Xu Liang took out the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"The ancestor worship ceremony is about to begin. Where are you?"
"I'm in the ancestral hall."
"Come here, people have come from the province, and many foreigners have come. I didn't expect that our Xu family has so many relatives, come here quickly."
"I understand."
Hang up the phone.
Xu Liang took a few steps back, looked at the old locust tree that had grown in their village for nearly two hundred years, and turned around and led Jiang Xiaoyang toward the front.
With his support, the Xu family ancestral hall was built very much.
Three moves in front and back, two strides on the left and right.
The area covers nearly 6,000 square meters.
At the front is a burger-paved yard with square bricks, or a square.
The square at this moment was just in response to Zhao Lao Nian's well-known sketch - the red flag was waving, and there were crowds of people.
The front of the square has been widened, and the asphalt road has been parked with cars, stretching from the village to a very long distance, densely packed.
The red carpet stretches from the square archway to the back hall of the ancestral hall.
In front of the ancestral hall, more than a dozen hot air balloons floated in the air, and the powerful lift pulled up red cloth banners.
The cloth banners are written in white fonts.
Xu Family Reunion Conference!
There are many people gathered in the square in front of the ancestral hall, all descendants of the Xu family from all over the world.
They spoke in different accents, but they were all wearing solemn dark clothes.
Many of them have mixed race characteristics.
A large number of young people are using their mobile phones to photograph the carved beams and painted buildings of the ancestral hall. Their Mandarin is obviously regional. "Xu Liang is here."
I don't know who shouted first.
Everyone looked over in an instant.
It can be said that this "Xu Family Reunion Conference" can attract many Xu family members from all over the world, at home and abroad, and even many of the Xu family members who have already produced the Five Blessings have come back from afar.
The most important reason is Xu Liang!
Everyone wants to make friends with this Forbes Global Rich List, a global business elite, financial giant, and a top tycoon known all over the world.
"Liaozi, come here quickly."
Seeing his father waved, Xu Liang walked over quickly.
"Xu Liang is here."
The one who opened his mouth was an old man wearing a Zhongshan suit and his hair was white.
"Master Qi."
Xu Liang greeted him respectfully.
This is the highest-ranking Xu family in the village. From his perspective, he is already his great-grandfather's generation.
The people they call this generation here are called "master". If the previous generation is an old master or a too-master, there are too few who can live together for five generations.
The old man heard it in his ears and saw it in his eyes. His face, which was carved out of countless ravines by the years, was like a blooming chrysanthemum, smiling very brightly. "Liangzi, let me introduce you to you. This is your fourth grandfather. He was originally the deputy commander of our Qilu Military Region. Now he has retired. Call me for someone."
Xu Liang had never seen this energetic old man. He must also be a distant relative of Xu. Now he exploded. "Fourth Grandpa." Although he met for the first time, the other party's identity as an elder and soldier still kept him respectful.
The old man smiled and nodded, "I have heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect that we are still a family. I have told your dad the address. I will visit Quancheng more often if I have the chance in the future."
"I will definitely go if I have the chance."
The father adjusted his direction and pointed to an old man in a suit and was energetic.
"This is your sixth grandfather Xu Bingyi. He is now the patriarch of the Wanwan Xu family and the director of Wanwan Form Plastics and Petrochemical."
"Sixth grandfather."
Xu Liang is still respectful.
But Xu Bingyi was not as calm as the fourth grandfather just now, and quickly bent down and reached out.
In the business world, he knows better than anyone else how much energy Xu Liang is now and doesn't dare to show off his character.
After a few words of politeness, Xu Bingyi sighed.
"My father has been to Wanwan for 49 years. Before his death, he kept thinking about going back to Xingluo Village to take a look.
This time I heard that you are going to hold a ceremony for ancestor worship, so I specially brought my whole family here. ”
”Welcome home. "Xu Liang smiled.
He knew about the fact that the Xu family had branches in Wanwan when he was young, but he just didn't take it seriously.
The father introduced him one by one.
Most of them are grandfathers, and most of them have some identities.
Either doing business or doing politics, there are also retired university professors.
There are so many, and there are nearly thirty of the grandfathers.
This is just living, more dead.
There are seven other people living in the great grandfather's generation, but they are too old to withstand the bumps and cannot get through.
As for Xu Liang's father's generation, there are even more people.
There are more than 4,000 people in the re-compiled family tree.
Distributed all over the world.
Xu Liang has tens of thousands of people in his generation.
This is just the result of compiling male students. If women are included, the number will be doubled.
As time passed little by little, it gradually reached nine o'clock in the morning.
Crackling...
Along with the deafening sound of firecrackers, the invited lion dance team began to perform hard.
Xu Liang took the pole and picked up the red silk covering the plaque. On the plaque with black lacquer as the base and gold-plated, the four vigorous and powerful words "Xu Clan Ancestral Hall" shone brightly in the sun.
Crash...
Everyone began to applaud excitedly.
The same is true for Xu Liang.
For Chinese people, with a ancestral hall, the family will have sustenance, and people will have roots. They will no longer be floating screens, and can enjoy incense and sacrifices for generations.
After the applause was a little rest, everyone entered the ancestral hall one by one.
Although Xu Liang has a low seniority, he is at the forefront because of his achievements.
In the ancestral hall, incense is lingering.
The shrine in the middle is enshrined with tablets of the ancestors of the Xu family, and at the top is a huge portrait of the ancestor.
The old man in the portrait wears square flat scarves and blue embellishments, and his eyes are like torches. He is Xu Guorui, the first ancestor of the Xu family who moved to Xingluo Village.
Xu Liang stood in front of the portrait and bowed deeply.
He could feel hundreds of gazes behind him were focused on him.
As the most successful descendant of the Xu family of this generation, he naturally became the principal priest of this ancestor worship ceremony.
"The auspicious time has come, please burn incense by the Lord!"
The master shouted loudly.
Xu Liang took three incense sticks and lit them on the candlelight.
Smokes are rising, and the shrines dedicated to the ancestral tablets become mysterious and distant at this moment.
"Worrying the heaven and earth!"
Xu Liang led everyone to salute to heaven and earth.
He could hear the neat sound of clothes rubbing behind him. He was descendants of the Xu family from all over the world, and they were all with the same piety at this moment.
"Two worship the ancestors!"
"Three worship of the clans!"
After the ancestor worship ceremony, everyone drove to the edge of the river dam, and the Xu family's ancestral tomb has been newly repaired.
However, because of the long age and the turmoil of that special era, many of the Xu family's ancestors can no longer be found.
There is no choice but to build a tomb.
The paper man, paper horse, gold, silver ingots, incense, paper money, etc. purchased in advance were all unloaded and piled together, like a hill.
The three animals sacrificed, and all the fruits and tributes were arranged neatly.
Along with the crackling sound of firecrackers, a huge fire ignited.
After all the incense and paper money was burned, Xu Liang led the descendants of Xu who had knelt all the way to the main road and kowtowed.
At this point, the entire sacrificial ceremony is basically over.
At noon, Xu Liang had already invited enough chefs to arrange lunch for all the Xu family present. Because there are too many people, not only are the tables and chairs filled the drying yard in front of the ancestral hall, but even the main roads in front and behind Xingluo Village are filled with tables and chairs.
Not only the Xu family, but also the entire Xingluo Village can eat the meal.
According to tradition, the Xu family will hold three-day shifting seats and invite a opera troupe to sing a seven-day drama.
At night, there will be a movie in front of the ancestral hall.
Xu Liang also had dinner here at noon, but he was in the ancestral hall.
The Xu family members around him are basically the heads of Xu all over the world and the elders of high generations.
While drinking and drinking, Xu Liang naturally became the object of toast and flattery for everyone.
Most of them handle it.
But when Master Qi came over with a glass of wine, he quickly stood up.
"Master Qi, please sit down."
The newest ⊥小⊥ said⊥⊥ on ⊥6⊥9⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The old man shook his head, "Liangzi, I watched you grow up. I know you will have a future prospect, but I didn't expect you to achieve what you are now.
I will die in the future, and I will be very proud when I go down to see the ancestors of the Xu family. "
"Master Qi, looking at your spirit, living for another thirty years will not be a problem. ”
”Haha. "The old man showed his mouth with only three or four old teeth left and waved his hand, "I am over ninety years old, I will become an old monster if I live for another thirty years.
No more saying this.
Liaozi, Master Qi wants to say something to you. ”
"You said."
"Today's rendezvous meeting was very good. All the Xu family could come. It's been hundreds of years, and the Xu family has not been as lively as it is now.
However, since our Xu family is all gathered, we can't let him part.
So I want to discuss with you, make a charter, and unite the Xu family, and help each other and grow the family.
Do you think this is the case?"
Xu Liang nodded, "What you always say is reasonable."
"Since you think my old man is right, let's discuss it carefully and set a clan rule."
Xu Liang: "I heard from my dad that the Xu family had clan rules before the founding of the country?"
"Yes, but the clan rules of the Xu family were no longer suitable for the times. Before liberation, most of the Xu family were in Yidu, and the farther away was Quancheng, unlike now, which is even in the United States.
So some charters need to be discussed again."
"You always make sense, but I am young. Just take your elders to discuss the rules of this clan, and I absolutely support it."
"It's good to have you said. Let's discuss a charter for you first. Then you can see if it is appropriate and help you change it by the way. You are the best person in our Xu family, and we believe in you."
Xu Liang nodded and agreed to this matter.
The lunch ended until three o'clock in the afternoon.
But the Xu family will be lively until seven days later.
…
Jiulongyu Xu Family Manor.
Xu Liang, who likes purity, has returned from his hometown.
Looking at the Xu clan rules in his hand, Xu Liang smiled and said, "There is a master behind this."
The father gave him a blank look, with a pride in his tone.
"Our Xu family has been passed down for three hundred years. What kind of talent is there?"
"Haha, that's right."
"By the way." My father handed over a large piece thicker and larger than the Xinhua Dictionary. After opening it, it was filled with dense small characters with fly heads. "This records the detailed information of all branches that our Xu family can find and contact with, a total of 17 branches, 13 generations, and 1.597,321 people." Xu Liang simply read it, and most people only have one name, and a simple sentence to introduce their life.
For example, lifelong farming. Or, if you lose your mother (or father) at a young age, you will work as a farmer for life.
Those who have attended school plus their academic qualifications.
Only those who perform well will have more introductions.
Because there is a directory, he quickly found his page.
The texts of his introduction filled the entire page with a lot of words, and he really opened a single page.
"Dad, how long will this genealogy be revised?"
"Ten years. This time, the elders discussed and decided to gather together every five years and every ten years. At the same time, we will establish a website for Xu family. All the information of the Xu family members will be entered into, and it will be updated in real time. While it is convenient for easy access, we can also provide certain help to each other based on their respective abilities.
For example, when your company needs talents, you can go to the website to search.
We have built-in search bars, which is very convenient to find."
"It's really keeping pace with the times." Xu Liang nodded with a smile, "As long as they have the right ability, I will not be stingy to give them a chance."
"Good son, family affection is only one aspect, we ourselves are the most important. If it is not suitable, don't force it." Xu Yongpei explained. "Haha, don't worry. If I were nepotism, my business wouldn't have been so big." Xu Yongpei nodded. He could understand his son's ability for so many years.
The face is thick and the heart is dark, and you will definitely not suffer any losses. "There is one more thing. This time, the Xu Family Foundation was established to be responsible for the operation of the family website and the daily management of the Xu Family."
"Daily management?"
"The whole family has more than 100,000 people, which is no easier than managing a large company."
Old Xu is very dissatisfied with his son's indifference. "Okay, let me hear what you are going to care about?" Xu Liang said with a smile.
"There are two main aspects, both internal and external.
Externally, if anyone within the family is treated unfairly, especially when encountering legal problems, the family will come forward to help him sue and seek justice.
Internally, establish nursing homes to take care of the elderly and widowed; fund serious illness treatment for members of the family; and provide tuition and catering subsidies to outstanding poor young people in the family.
Although there are not many things, they are not easy either. "
Xu Liang smiled and said, "Who is responsible for this foundation? "
"They originally invited me to participate, but your mother and I wanted to fly to show you the child around the world and refuse. Then they chose seven people to be responsible for daily management. If there is a major issue, they can hold a video conference. ”
Lao Xu briefly introduced the identities of the seven people.
Except for the three grandfathers, the remaining four are basically the same as the father.
Seven people all have pretty good resumes.
As for whether the family foundation can be managed well, that's another matter. "Do they still want money?" Xu Liang said.
"Of course, how can we support the operation of the foundation without money? But this time, all the Xu clans over 18 and under 60 have to pay.
Ordinary clans don't need too much, just 100 yuan a year, do what they can.
If you can't bear to even 100 yuan and just want to enjoy the benefits of the clan, you will naturally be excluded from the clan's welfare.
As for the wealthy clans, the specific annual fee will be decided by themselves.
But each person's donation will be announced on the family website every year.
Whoever is stingy will be generous will have a public opinion.
Finally, all funds will be released on the website to ensure fairness and justice. ”
Xu Liang: “It sounds good. "
"Since you think it's good, then set an example for everyone. "
"Then I will donate 10 million. Dad, do you want to donate too? ”
"Nonsense, I'm only in my early fifties, so of course I have to donate." After pausing, Xu Yongpei continued, "There is another thing. Xiaoyang's descendants have been listed in the genealogy, but should my other grandsons also go?"
"Of course I have to go public, but it won't be published on the website. In addition to the general book kept in the ancestral hall, don't appear in the genealogy of other branches."
He doesn't want his housework to become the focus of global attention. "I discussed this with Mr. Qi. We must always have some privileges to donate this money." Xu Yongpei obviously understood his son's plan.
"Yes."
After the chat, Xu Yongpei left.
It didn't take long, and with the knock on the door, Li Jinling pushed the door and walked in. "Mr. Xu, the total income of Gonggong Plan has been put into pocket, this is the statement."
The Gonggong Plan is Xu Liang's first plan to short the secondary debt, with a total pre-tax income of US$127.9 billion.
In order to get the money, I took out about 10% of the income to buy senior executives of the insurance company.
Because the time to buy CDs is early or late, there is also a capital gains tax ranging from 15% to 35%.
After deducting all of this, only about 60% of them can actually fall into his hands.
It is about US$76.8 billion.
Xu Liang's Hongyan Fund retained 20 billion yuan for this money, and the remaining 56.8 billion US dollars were given to its subsidiaries.
Of course, there are some considerations about how to divide the money.
Jiang Xiaoyang's future inheritance of Hongmeng will directly take away 8 billion US dollars. As the legitimate lineage, she should be able to get more.
The next are the major branches.
It can basically get $5 billion.
The last one is the concubines, who are striving and working hard like Fan Xiaopang, who can earn between 1 billion and 3 billion US dollars based on the company's development.
A like Tang Yan, who has not started a business but has given birth to a child.
One child has $100 million.
In the end, there are no children and no hair.
Of course, giving money is not something you can spend at will, it must be used for corporate development.
Hanhua will invest in fixed assets, gold, treasury bonds and other assets if there is no enterprise under his name.
Anyway, you can have it, but you can't decide how to spend it.
The real decision was Boss Xu.
It should be emphasized that the "Gonggong Plan" is just the profit obtained by Hongyan Fund manipulating its shadow funds and some shadow funds under Hanhua.
Hanhua himself obtained from CDs bond investment is not included.
If Han Hua's is included, his real income will exceed 100 billion US dollars. "Mr. Xu, recently there have been many unfavorable voices in the United States." Li Jinling reminded.
"Unfavorable voice?"
"Paulson Fund made $19 billion this year, Hanhua Pacific Fund made $16 billion this year, and Goldman Sachs' proprietary trading department made more than $9 billion..."
Of course, this is just superficial revenue.
Hanhua's shadow funds, such as Today Capital, H&H Investment, Hillhouse Capital, etc., are actually all controlled by Hanhua.
Hanhua, in their name, can share 5% of the profits obtained in the capital market.
If the returns of these shadow funds are included, Hanhua's real benefits will be several times more.
Li Jinling has been several of the major subprime bond shorts this year, and then changed the subject: "However, Merrill Lynch lost $7.9 billion in the third quarter, and Morgan Stanley lost $9.4 billion in the fourth quarter..."
Xu Liang smiled and said: "If you want to bet, you have to admit defeat. Since you have chosen to bet with others in the subprime bond market, you must have the awareness of losing money.
If we lose, the financial reports of their institutions will be very good and the stock prices will rise sharply.
However, from your tone, they don't seem to think so."
