Chapter 88 [Quoting Zheng Chenghuan to the upper set]
.I was still sneering in my heart, but said, "It turns out that Brother Zheng is talking about this. I'm afraid there is no joy. The Wu and Zhao families should not merge for the time being, but there will be more cooperation in the future. The so-called leader's words are groundless. How could Brother Zheng believe such rumors?"
"Is that right?" Zheng Chenghuan's voice slowed down.
I nodded with a smile, "That's the case for the time being. Didn't Brother Zheng say he wanted to treat me to a meal? Then let's talk about it when we meet."
After making an appointment for the location and time, I drove easily to the place Zheng Chenghuan said.
I found that Jung Seung-hwan was always able to find this kind of leisure place that might not be luxurious, but is a bit slight, just like the cotton club last time, this time this Western restaurant called Friday looks more like a bar.
After parking the car, I saw Zheng Seung-hwan sitting in an open-air position at the door wearing an ordinary T-shirt of material.
With a little smile, I pulled open the chair opposite him and sat down.
"Brother Zheng is always very romantic. Whether you are having a meal or anything else, it seems very relaxing. You don't have to go to any stereotypes so grandly. It seems that you are embarrassed to enter without wearing formal clothes."
Zheng Chenghuan smiled faintly and handed me the menu in his hand.
“Look at what to eat…”
I handed it and pushed the menu back to Zheng Chenghuan, "Since I come, please feel free. Brother Zheng will be responsible for the arrangements. I don't care much about eating it. As long as there are no onions, garlic or anything else, I can do it."
Zheng Chenghuan refused, so he directly attracted waiter and ordered some things. Basically, it was just mashed potatoes, vegetable salads, etc. in American Western cuisine. Fortunately, we were not interested in this, so it didn't matter.
It's a bit like a fast food, so I eat it very quickly. After eating it in half a minute, I wiped my mouth, drank a sip of water from the glass, lit a cigarette on my own, and looked at the men and women who were coming and going with a smile.
Seeing that I had finished eating, Jung Seung-hwan also pushed the plate at hand and called the waiter to take it away. He asked me, "What are you drinking? Whiskey or red wine?"
Generally speaking, American and Western restaurants do not pay much attention to red wine. Although I think drinking whiskey after a meal is not very suitable, after thinking about it, I decided not to drink red wine. "Just whiskey, I heard that Chivas has been released for thirty years, and I don't know what the taste is."
Zheng Chenghuan asked for a bottle as he said. After the wine and ice bucket came up, we pondered each other and entered the real topic.
Because I was very calm, and Zheng Chenghuan had always had ulterior motives. He had to constantly judge whether I had thought about the matter about our company. So after sitting quietly for a while, he finally spoke first.
"Shi Lei, I heard you were not in China some time ago?"
I smiled faintly and said casually, "Good things don't go out and bad things go thousands of miles. I took Wang Qian out to play secretly, and it became a secret that the people of the whole country know... "
"The reason why it is said to be because your company was complained a few days ago. By the way, has that been resolved? Did it be found out who was making trouble behind it?"
I took out a cigarette and swayed at Jung Seung-hwan.
He shook his head and said he didn't want it. I lit one myself, "They have been investigating before I came back, but I told them not to worry about it when I got off the plane."
"Oh?" Zheng Chenghuan was stunned and then asked, "Why?"
I leaned back and looked very relaxed, "So what if I found it? No matter who it is, I am afraid there is no way to deal with the other party. If it is someone I offended enough, the other party can do such a thing, I am afraid that it is not a brainless person. Obviously, I will find countless springboards and will not leave any obvious clues for me to find out that it was him. If it is someone I can't afford to offend or not afraid of offending but ends up helpless, then what's the point of finding out? Rather than that, my province asked them to investigate and know who it is, it may not affect the morale of the company's employees."
Zheng Chenghuan smiled and called waiter over and ordered two dry cigars. "You're thinking a lot, but you can at least know who's making trouble when you find out. Be careful of that person in the future."
I said to myself, OK, Lao Zheng, don't shout to rob thieves here. Now I won't expose you. I am planning to do it in the same way for you to play with you. Tell me to be more careful, haha...
"The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and it is hard to defend against. This time it is a, next time it is b, next time there is cdefg, there are so many English letters, so where can I come here? I really wait until I defend myself, haha, I'm afraid my business will not be necessary. Because I will find that there is no one in China who is kind to me, and everyone wants to make all the money from me. So who do you think I will guard against?"
Zheng Chenghuan nodded and said with a smile, "Haha, many people have understood this principle only after they have been touched by blood. It took decades. There are many people who will never repent in the end. You are good. Not long after entering this industry, I thought so thoroughly. It's really hard for you. I don't know how your brain grows."
I sneered in my heart, haha, right? I don’t know how my brain grew, and you will be even more confused in the future.
If you can sit in the position of the head of the Zheng family for less than a year, you may have created something that has been rumored to be a "beautiful talk" among the four major families, right?
"There is no way. When you come out of a poor family, you will think more than others when facing many things. When you find that you are not sure about something, you will not be able to do it blindly."
Zheng Chenghuan took the lit cigar handed over by W Shanzhang and handed me one, "It seems that you have always been very risky in the capital market. I also remember you once said that you have a bit of risky blood in your bones..."
"Adventure and blindness are two different things... Do nothing, walk onto a cliff and jump down, that is blind. However, before going up to the cliff, I investigated the environment below clearly, knowing that there is a pool of more than ten meters deep, and then I go up to the cliff and jump down after taking many safety measures on my body. That is adventure. It is not blind."
Zheng Chenghuan refused to give in, "But even if all the investigations are done and all the safety measures are done, they may still be affected by some accidents when they jump down and fall outside the pool and die!"
I nodded, "That was just a risk accident, not a blind eye."
Zheng Chenghuan took a sip of the cigar thoughtfully and looked at me with a little deep meaning.
"By the way. The matter about that complaint has been resolved now?" Zheng Chenghuan asked me again after a while of silence.
I shook my head. "Not yet, but the problem should not be big. During the whole process, our company did not violate any violations. After the regulatory authorities checked, they would be fined at most. The procedures were not complete, and we have been actively re-processing the procedures."
"But I heard that all your funds have been frozen. Do you have any help? Just speak up if you need it."
I felt happy and said, "It's good if you don't cause trouble for me, how dare I ask you to help me?"
"No need, I took out 200 million yuan and maintained the company's operation first. I believe it will be solved soon. The problem is not big."
"Is there any reaction from Feng's family in Hong Kong?"
I picked up the cup and took a sip of the wine, "I explained it to them, and also told them how I deal with it and how to solve it. They also knew very well that there was basically nothing to worry about."
Zheng Chenghuan nodded heavily, "That's good, that's good, as long as it can be solved, it's not a problem."
"Haha, I haven't congratulated Brother Zheng for finally getting the position of the head of the Zheng family as I wish!" I changed my tone and led the topic to Zheng Chenghuan.
Zheng Chenghuan pretended to be frowning, "Oh, if I knew that this bullshit leader had so many troubles to worry about. I might as well do business in South America with my uncle. Now I realize that this leader is really troublesome. Just paying attention to the intrigue between various factions in the family every day is troublesome."
Although what he said was not particularly sincere, it was somewhat true. The reason why I refused to accept the arrangements of Mr. Wu and Mr. Lei was mainly worried about these things. Before that, I negotiated with Wu Feng and was also worried that such things would happen to me. However, obviously I am much lucky than Zheng Chenghuan. Before I took over, I had already arranged most of the things. At least there would not be any large-scale forces that would be tempted by me. If I don’t have to worry about some minor troubles, Wu Feng would also help me eliminate them in the bud.
"That's right, it's easy to fight and defend the country, and the emperor's life is not so easy."
Zheng Chenghuan smiled bitterly, "Haha, what emperor? Everyone knows that our Zheng family's actual industry is only about 20% of the Bai family, and it cannot cause any major storms. The reason why it is said to be one of the four major families is that it is also a low-key light in many families in China. To be honest, it would be good that our Zheng family's industry can rank in the top ten in China."
This is also the truth. The domestic economic industry is actually a very complex environment. Even the Bai family dare not say arrogantly that they are truly the largest family in China. There are many families in China that are so low-key that the media cannot pay attention to, and their real industrial strength is simply unpredictable. Although the four major families have combined to control more than 30% of the economic lifeline of domestic private enterprises, private enterprises are still relatively weak after all, and state-owned enterprises are the fundamentals. There are also those reorganized enterprises between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, as well as those joint ventures between China and the West, that is the big deal. No one knows who the richest people in China are, or even those with the four major families, they may not be able to find out. This is a very complicated question.
So I smiled and nodded, "Actually, it's difficult for everyone to develop rapidly and achieve greater achievements. But at the same time, we must keep as low-key as possible. Never accidentally touch the interests of those real units of power... They all survive in the cracks. It seems to be infinity, but just like Chairman Mao's poem, the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peaks."
Zheng Chenghuan smiled faintly when he heard this, picked up the cup and touched me gently.
"By the way, the Wu and Zhao families are really not planning to merge for the time being? Didn't you say that you will decide to take over when it is almost the same?" Zheng Chenghuan finally brought the topic back. "Once the Wu and Zhao families merge, it would be... well, at least it is the largest family in China on the surface..."
"Didn't Brother Zheng say just now? No one knows who the real big family is? The Wu and Zhao families combined are only about 10% more than the Bai family, and they are not in an absolute leading position in terms of strength. Moreover, the big family faces much greater difficulties and resistance than those of us who follow us. So it seems that there is nothing wrong with continuing to let the Bai family be the leader, right?"
"You really have no idea about the position of this local emperor?"
I laughed, "If I said no, Brother Zheng, you wouldn't believe it. But even you said that you face many difficulties and huge troubles. And I was not from the Wu and Zhao families at first, so it seems that the difficulties will only be greater than you, right? So, do you think that "ascending the throne at this time is a good choice?"
Zheng Chenghuan was stunned and laughed out loud by my word "Ascend the throne", "Haha, ascend the throne, ascend the throne, this word is interesting!"
I stopped smiling and said seriously, "It's just a cooperation with Brother Wu's words, the local emperor just now, and there's no other meaning."
"Then what are your plans next? Didn't you say you would have a cooperation place with me?"
I nodded. "It's really true!"
Jung Seung-hwan leaned forward, "Oh? Tell me, what kind of project is it?"
"You know the few bigger projects I have. On the 11th and 9th, there is half and half of Feng's family, and the real estate sector is half and half of Wu Jisheng from Nanjing. The others are all projects that make no more than a few million in a year. I'm afraid Brother Zheng won't be interested."
Zheng Chenghuan smiled and said, "No, the size of the business does not matter. What is important is that I hope to cooperate with you and with you through some means. Making money is secondly, the key is to cooperate with you. The only thing that interests me is you, not a specific project."
What I am waiting for is Zheng Chenghuan's words. Although I know that Zheng Chenghuan has this intention, I must wait until he says this sentence in person. When he says it, I will tell you about my projects. When he wants to quit, he may not have any reason to quit.
"I feel relieved when Brother Zheng said this. Do you still remember that I bought one of his small game companies in order to cure the fat man?"
Zheng Chenghuan nodded, "I know this, I used to find it very strange. After you acquired that project, you kept it on your hands and didn't do anything. It seemed that you spent millions to buy the power of someone else to withdraw..."
"It's not that we don't do it, but that our company's focus was on the "Depravity Gate," and at that time, many games were put into operation in China at that time. If I forced the development of this game into the market, the result would be a crushing defeat. You know my investment situation, it seems that from my experience in the past few years, you should understand that the profits of almost every investment increase in the number of investments, rather than the percentage of profits required by the investment..."
Zheng Chenghuan immediately continued, "This is also the reason why almost everyone in the industry pays attention to you the most. Some projects are obviously profitable in geometric multiples. Of course, the usual risk of such projects is to lose everything.
For example, your capital operation in the stock market and the "degenerate door that makes you profit the most. However, some projects, from the earliest fairy tale apartments to the real estate project in Fangdav later, and the investment in the movie not long ago, are already miracles in the industry, but in your hands, they still become multiple profit growth projects. You should understand that this is what attracts me to cooperate with you all the time…”
"That's OK, you'll see soon that the profits of that web project will be calculated in units of billions."
Zheng Chenghuan was obviously interested, "You already have a comprehensive plan?"
I shook my head, "No, it's just an idea. This idea has already been established when I acquired the company that was obviously a money-giving company. Now, it is probably the most suitable time to put it into operation..."
Chapter completed!
