Chapter 570 4 big families
In the banquet hall of the Ou family mansion, although the old man Ou Hongxin’s 70th birthday celebration had not officially begun, the atmosphere was very lively.
In the Ou family, people from various branches began to gather in the banquet hall one after another.
They seemed like the real masters of the Ou family mansion, and they tactfully helped take care of the guests at the banquet.
Of course, they helped out for a purpose, which was to make more connections at the old man’s important birthday party today.
However, in the eyes of some people, their smiles were too flattering, so much so that some people looked down on some branches of the Ou family from the bottom of their hearts.
As time passed, it was already sunset, and people from the other three families of the four major families also entered the banquet hall one after another.
When they entered, they all had their own aura and momentum, and everyone who saw them looked at them with admiration or respect.
The Ou family is the number one wealthy family in the country, but this first place was gradually consolidated after Ou Jinghuan began to take charge of the family business.
Apart from the Ou family, the second most powerful family after the Ou family is the Lin family, followed by the Lu family and the Xiao family.
The Lu family and the Xiao family are equally powerful, and the only difference between them and the second-placed Lin family is their family reputation.
The Lu family was the first to enter the banquet hall. The people from the Lu family included the head of the Lu family, Lu Zhenguo, and various outstanding younger generations of the Lu family.
"Wow! The Lu family from the Four Great Families! They're here!"
"So handsome! He looks so strong! This is the strong and powerful Jun brother!"
"He's really tall, and his walk is so imposing. If I had known earlier, I would have joined the army!"
As soon as the people from the Lu family entered the banquet hall, both men and women would involuntarily exclaim in admiration, the women would express admiration, and the men would worship them.
Because most of the people in the Lu family joined the army, and the old man of the Lu family was a soldier who had fought on the battlefield.
However, Lu Zhenguo also suffered many injuries as a result, and in his later years he had to sit in a wheelchair and be pushed into the banquet hall by his juniors.
Although the younger generations of the Lu family are not as capable as the old man, they are also of good family background, and there have always been younger generations who understand business.
Therefore, with the blessing of the red background, even though the Lu family does not have as large a business as the Ou family, the Lin family, and the Xiao family, the family has always been among the top four.
The next family to enter the banquet hall was the Xiao family. After Mr. Xiao suddenly passed away many years ago, the eldest son Xiao Weizhong is now in charge of the family.
Those who came to the birthday party with Xiao Weizhong were his wife, his two children, and his son's fiancée.
Only Xiao Weizhong's family came to the Xiao family. Although there were few people coming, it did not mean that the Xiao family had few members.
In fact, the Xiao family also has two younger brothers of Xiao Weizhong, and there are many side branches of the Xiao family.
But because Xiao Weizhong's younger brothers were not involved in business, the other branches were very afraid of Xiao Weizhong, and they had no intention of interfering in the family business.
So when Xiao Weizhong was managing a company, he usually brought his family members to birthday parties.
Although the Xiao family had lost many partners due to the death of Mr. Xiao, who was very successful in business.
But the miraculous thing is that under Xiao Weizhong's quick operation, the Xiao family business is booming and they earn more money than Grandpa Xiao did before.
It even allowed the Xiao family, which had always been ranked fifth among the wealthy families, to squeeze into the top four and has not retreated until now.
Therefore, although there were few people coming from the Xiao family, many people admired Xiao Weizhong's strength and did not dare to underestimate the Xiao family.
As soon as Xiao Weizhong appeared, many people wanted to seek his guidance.
Even though Xiao Weizhong is a very serious person, some people immediately picked up their glasses and went over to greet him, hoping to learn from him.
The last family to enter was the Lin family, which was second only to the Ou family. The people from the Lin family were the old man of the Lin family, Lin Huaqing, and various outstanding younger generations of the Lin family.
The Lin family's second throne has been unstable in recent years. It originally had a chance to compete with the Ou family and become the leader of the four major families.
As a result, ever since Ou Jinghuan returned to China and took over the family business directly from Ou Hongxin, skipping his father's generation, the Lin family has fallen to the bottom of the four major families several times.
This is because the Lin family and the Ou family have many overlapping industries, including real estate sales, catering, jewelry, etc.
Before Ou Jinghuan took over, the Ou family and the Lin family had similar industries dividing the market, and sometimes the Lin family could even snatch some of the Ou family's business.
After Ou Jinghuan took over, he found that in order to become the number one wealthy family, the Lin family had deliberately competed with the Ou family for business many times, both openly and covertly.
So, Ou Jinghuan retaliated by using his own drastic measures to prevent the Lin family from having any chance to do business on the land where the Ou family owned property.
Therefore, there was a dark moment a few years ago when the Lin family fell from the second place. Even if it returns to the second place now, it is still far from the current Ou family.
However, after the Lin family saw that the original heir could not defeat Ou Jinghuan, they asked all the capable young people in the Lin family to compete for the inheritance rights again.
Under the strong competition, a few capable people really emerged.
One of them can even help the Lin family return to the throne of the second family and try to prevent the family from being influenced by Ou Jinghuan.
But it also caused the original heir who was outdone to be often scolded, which made him feel particularly unhappy.
Therefore, all that happened in the Lin family made everyone in the Lin family, especially the original heir, have a lot of opinions about Ou Jinghuan.
At this time, the Lin family happily came to the Ou family's birthday party, and on the surface they seemed very respectful to the Ou family.
But they are quite dissatisfied and hostile towards the entire Ou family, especially Ou Jinghuan, the person who made them so miserable.
