Chapter 471 Brothers are fighting against each other
Unlike the Maxim's Group which started out specializing in high-end restaurants, Wing Wah Bakery is a traditional time-honored brand in Yuen Long. Its founder, Liu Peiling, is also known as Uncle Pei.
In 1950, the Wing Wah Restaurant was opened in Yuen Long, with four floors, tables and a takeaway service. Later, Liu Peiling added ingenuity to upgrade the taste of traditional mooncakes and wife cakes.
The white lotus seed paste-flavored mooncake, which is very popular in the market, is Uncle Pei’s masterpiece. It attracted many peers in the pastry industry to follow suit, making Ronghua Restaurant famous overnight.
Currently, Wing Wah Restaurant has five outlets in Mong Kok, Kwun Tong, Island Tsai, Tsuen Wan and Sham Shui Po.
It is the leading bakery in Yuen Long, but has reached its limit. If it wants to expand its business, it must build a factory, centralize production, and enter the mainland market.
Zhao Yuxiu was Liu Peiling's good friend and mentor. He was the first to invest and help Liu Peiling build a restaurant. He was the second largest shareholder of Ronghua Cake Industry and the commercial operator.
He valued the political connections of the Zhongyi Group in the mainland, and continued to make efforts, eventually facilitating the cooperation between Ronghua and Lao Zhong.
Zhongyi Group invested HK$13 million to acquire 20% of Ronghua Bakery's shares, becoming the third largest shareholder of Ronghua, but did not participate in management.
After this round of equity dilution, Liu Peiling only had 47% of the shares and Zhao Yuxiu had 33% left.
The biggest feature of the catering industry is that the brand founder has the greatest rights and interests. A good catering brand must have good products, and good products will not worry about sales.
No need to worry about investors.
There were actually many people who wanted to invest in Ronghua Bakery, but it was only because Zhongyi Group had the largest market resources that Liu Peiling agreed.
After having a "signature wine" meal with Liu Peiling, Zhao Yuxiu and two Yuen Long gentry in a private room of Ronghua Restaurant.
Yin Zhaotang had just boarded the car and was about to return to Tsim Sha Tsui East when he suddenly received a call from Liao Zhihong. He had to turn the car around and head to the New Territories Disabled Persons Association on Shek Mun Road in Sha Tin District.
As Sha Tin is the New Territories district closest to Kowloon, the Heung Yee Kuk and the Home Affairs Department are both headquartered in Sha Tin. The offices of some registered social groups and non-governmental organizations are also mostly located in the surrounding areas.
After two years of hard work and family support, Liao Zhihong has gained great reputation and support in the Disabled Persons Association. This year is the opening year of the Los Angeles Olympics.
It is the year for the Heung Yee Kuk and the Disabled Persons' Association to change their terms.
Liao Zhihong and Yin Zhaotang had a close relationship. He poured hot tea, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then got straight to the point: "Mr. Yin, I have something to ask of you."
Yin Zhaotang had expected this and said cheerfully, "Brother Zhihong, we are all family. If you need help, just ask directly. Is there a problem with the change of leadership in the Disabled Persons' Association?"
As a legally registered non-governmental organization, the New Territories Disabled Persons' Association must carry out democratic elections in accordance with the "Society Management Ordinance". As a small association with no financial resources, the annual voting is just a formality.
But the others are not stupid. They saw that Liao Zhihong had made the Disabled Persons' Association very successful in the past two years. He not only attracted charitable donations and established a disabled sports team, but also won the favor of many citizens.
It will attract many people with ulterior motives.
Liao Zhihong sighed, a hint of frustration flashed across his resolute face, and he said, "In March this year, the mainland established the Disabled Persons' Federation and allocated funds to build a disabled persons fund."
"It can be seen that the old man attaches great importance to the development of the Disabled Persons' Federation. Coupled with some gossip, many people are eyeing the New Territories Disabled Persons' Federation. Many people want to get on the Disabled Persons' Federation's path, gain political capital, and enter the official career."
"This year, the Disabled Persons' Association is changing its leadership, and the competition is fierce."
Yin Zhaotang's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Times have changed. What was previously a hidden move has become an open one. Whoever dares to compete with you, tell me your name, and I will deal with them one by one."
Liao Zhihong still didn't look happy, and sighed, "If it was an outsider, it would be easy to solve, but it's hard to do it with someone myself. Originally, family disgrace should not be made public, but since Yin Sheng is a brother, I have nothing to say. The person who wants to compete for a position in the Disabled Persons' Federation is my close brother Liao Zhizhang."
Yin Zhaotang immediately understood the source of Liao Zhihong's dilemma, but he was very disgusted with the quarrel between brothers, and immediately sneered: "A Zhang, right?" "Leave it to me."
Liao Zhihong was hesitant and said, "Mr. Yin, Zhang and I are a family, so we should leave some room for maneuver. Dad is old, and there are some things..."
"Do not worry."
"I'll go talk to him. If I can convince him, he won't do anything." Yin Zhaotang also had to consider Uncle Liao's face. Liao Zhihong sighed again, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yin, I have to trouble you with a little housework."
Yin Zhaotang patted Liao Zhihong on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zhihong, I see everything you do. Today I am not standing up for you, but for the disabled people in the New Territories."
"A second-generation rich man is asked to run the Disabled Persons' Association. Can he achieve anything? He has to take the funds of the Disabled Persons' Association!"
After stepping down the Disabled Persons' Association building, Yin Zhaotang immediately ordered Niu Qiang without hesitation: "Ask Liao Zhizhang to come to the company to see me."
"Yes, sir."
Niu Qiang did not go to the house in person, but looked up the phone number and made a call to inform Liao Zhizhang to come to Zhongyi Building before the evening.
Liao Zhizhang was playing mahjong with his friends in a mahjong parlor in Fanling when he received the call and immediately turned pale. He told his friends that he had something to do and asked the driver to take him to the Heung Yee Kuk.
A disciple of the Deng family in Pingshan lost interest when he saw him hurriedly leave. He pushed the cards to the pile and cursed, "You bastard, you ran away without paying the table fee."
"My butt is on fire!"
Hou Jie, the eldest son of the second branch of the Hou family in Sheung Shui, stood up and said, "Don't worry about that bad boy, let's go to Tsim Sha Tsui to take a sauna together."
“Go, go, go”
Heung Yee Kuk, Councillor’s Office.
Liao Zhixing was dressed in a suit and glasses, looking very refined. He poured tea for the younger brother who came to ask for help, and said to him in a soothing voice, "What are you afraid of? Lao Zhong got started with the help of us Liao family members."
"Without the Liao family, there would be no Zhongyi Group today. As long as my father is still alive, no matter how closed the Shenxiantang is, they won't dare to touch us brothers."
Liao Zhizhang paced back and forth, anxiously saying, "Second brother, I haven't met Shenxiantang very often, but today Lao Zhong's Punishment Hall Chief Blade called me, and it's definitely not good if I go there."
Liao Zhixing glanced at the useless younger brother and said sternly, "Have you ever seen a dog bite its master? Shenxiantang asked you to go, but you didn't go. This gave the big brother an opportunity to cause trouble."
"If you want to be unable to hold your head up for the rest of your life, then I won't bother with you."
Liao Zhizhang paused, thinking of the other family members of the same generation who all looked down on him, and said with a determined heart, "Okay, I'll go!"
When boys are young and ignorant, they all like to spend their days in debauchery and partying every night, but as they grow older, they get tired of playing cards, women, cars and luxury watches.
You will then have the desire to start a business.
What's more, there is a second brother who is fanning the flames and constantly instigating behind the scenes.
Seeing Liao Zhizhang make up his mind and go to the appointment, Liao Zhixing felt happy. The more miserable the younger brother's life was, the better. If he could die in Zhongyi Building, it would be a great contribution to him.
