Chapter 621 I love my motherland
It was just the time for lunch, and few people appeared on the road. Finally, when someone showed up, Fan Wubing asked for a clear way out, then ran out of the community, took a taxi, and rushed to the venue.
Although I was rushing to go quickly, the time was still a little wrong, and the conversation was already started.
After Fan Wubing entered, he saw Boss Zhu's secret phone call outside. When he saw Fan Wubing, he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Mr. Fan, are you okay? When I was having lunch, I didn't see you, and the boss asked him specifically. Someone saw you going out with a girl, so he didn't have the nerve to say anything else. Now, the conversation has started inside, so you should ask for a good morning."
Fan Wubing nodded and then entered the venue. Sure enough, everyone here sat upright and looked very serious. There was a business colleague who looked familiar on the platform, talking about the opportunities brought by the new economy to developing countries. It was obvious that the other party had put a lot of effort into this and prepared very well. The audience in the audience was also focused, but there were not many distracted.
After finding his seat and sitting down, Boss Zhu said to him, "Why are you late?"
"I got lost and couldn't get a taxi," Fan Wu. When he mentioned this, he couldn't help but answered awkwardly.
"Um" Boss Zhu looked at him in surprise, but didn't say anything else.
After finally waiting for the meeting here, Boss Zhu said that there was a dinner party in the evening, which was held by the municipal government. Not only were the representatives attending the summit, but also celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai and the Pearl River Delta, which was very large and rare in recent times.
"I found that I was not suitable to join in the fun recently." Fan Wubing said with some complaints, "When I arrive at such a banquet, I always get out of touch with others and often get guided by others. It is better to eat at home."
Boss Zhu laughed and said, "It's not that you can attend such an event. In fact, it is to give face to the city government president. Otherwise, when people say that even the boss of Fan's Investment Group has not been invited, what level is there to be such a dinner?"
Fan Wubing smiled when he heard this, "Boss Zhu, you said this, you must go to the banquet this night. Even if you don't give face to the municipal government, you have to give face to Boss Zhu."
"Well, then just treat it as a gift. I'm better off. Some of the consortium bosses from Hong Kong come here later. If you are there, your momentum will be able to suppress them, so that some people will feel like they are poor people when they see the people in the mainland, and they look arrogant." Boss Zhu said to Fan Wubing.
After hearing what Boss Zhu said, Fan Wubing was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Hong Kong people would turn against each other faster than they would. In the mid-year financial storm, if it weren't for both him and the central government's help, the Hong Kong dollar would probably have lost control. The situation in Hong Kong would definitely be many times more miserable than it is now.
Although Hong Kong is also somewhat sluggish due to the Southeast Asian financial crisis, the economy is somewhat sluggish and the real estate market is also bleak, but for ordinary people, the impact is still within an acceptable range. After all, with domestic support, many small bosses in Hong Kong who cannot continue to develop locally have begun to switch to the mainland at this time. With the huge market of the mainland, their lives will only be better than before.
Therefore, Fan Wubing couldn't help but say, "Cut the bridge when crossing the river, this kind of idea is unsatisfactory."
Boss Zhu shook his head and said, "It's not that serious. It's just ideological differences. Or it's just that some of the Hong Kong and British authorities' interests in Hong Kong are attacking the SAR government, trying to take advantage of the current bad financial situation in Southeast Asia to question the SAR government's governing ability and then promote their so-called process."
Fan Wubing smiled and said, "Haha, let them do whatever they want?! Since they have returned, these problems will definitely not be able to succeed under the framework of sovereignty. As for the process, Hong Kong people are not all fools. Can't they see that they are all painting cakes to satisfy their hunger? Without the support of the mainland government, what is the future of development of Hong Kong Island? Just that small island with a palm-sized slap? If it hadn't been for so many years, they would have been unable to support it."
Boss Zhu smiled and shook his head and said, "But he can't say that. After all, they are all compatriots in blood and cannot just talk about it from the perspective of business. That would be too merciless. The Hong Kong people have also made contributions worthy of recognition to the domestic economic construction, which is unquestionable. As for the differences in understanding due to historical reasons, I think this can be mediated. After all, the Prime Minister said first, seek common ground while reserving differences. As long as there is a common goal of moving forward, everyone's interests are consistent. Except for some dangerous elements, we can communicate in-depth with representatives of any class and reach a basically consistent view."
Fan Wubing smiled and applauded. In these things, Boss Zhu obviously knew better than himself what to do.
Others have nothing, but the entrepreneur at the station who was giving a speech suddenly saw Fan Wubing sitting next to Boss Zhu and applauding. He immediately thought that this was for him, so he was still very happy. After all, the words he said were relatively advanced theories. Although everyone was listening carefully, few people could understand them. Seeing that Fan Wubing, the most famous and influential economic figure in China, was applauding himself, he was still deeply inspired.
"Just applauding Mr. Fan alone to me is enough to show that my point of view has been valued by him. In the future, I have to find an opportunity to communicate with Mr. Fan well. I can't let this encouragement be disappointed." He thought to himself. Because of this little episode, his mood suddenly became very excited. Several points that he had been hesitant before could not help but throw them out, which attracted the attention of many people.
Fan Wubing didn't hear any difference before, but later he found that some of the views raised by this entrepreneur about e-commerce and the Internet economy are quite pertinent and pragmatic. It is obviously more operational than the boastful talks of many returnees.
When it was late, the restaurant in the exhibition center was completely decorated with bright lights. About a thousand people attended tonight's dinner. There were 120 tables in the entire hall, which was very lively.
Fan Wubing followed Boss Zhu and naturally received more attention than ordinary people. This time he met many Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas businessmen. Whenever Fan Wubing’s identity was introduced, the other party would be shocked, and then he greeted him with a smile and respectfully, shaking his hands for a long time and refused to let go.
Fan Wubing himself is used to the feeling of being sought after. After all, in the business world, the rich ones are the bosses, and no one respects those who don’t have money. Although the Internet economy is hot, before making money, the heads of several portal websites are only qualified to participate in such activities, and there is no chance to show off with the predecessors.
The mainstream media will not over-promote them. Instead, the websites they control use a lot of pages to report this summit, and promote the situation where the actions of several of them at the summit are written and pictures.
Unfortunately, the Internet today does not support this instant video information very much. Otherwise, Fan Wubing believed that they would definitely put the entire video information on the Internet.
In fact, everyone is so enthusiastic about Fan Wubing, and to some extent, they are even more concerned than Boss Zhu. There are three main reasons. One is that the current huge scale of Fan Wubing is something that no industry insider can ignore. There is no way out to fight with such a powerful consortium. Therefore, when encountering Fan Wubing, they naturally have a good relationship. The second is the political status of Fan Wubing's father Fan Heng, which is now rising higher and higher. This is also something that many businessmen cannot ignore. The people do not fight with officials, and businessmen cannot fight with officials. This is a common sense issue. The third is that Fan Wubing's age is too young. God knows how far will his current power develop in the future?
However, when Fan Wubing was smiling and dealing with everyone, he finally met a guy who was not very harmonious.
A young reporter from a Hong Kong TV station was probably from a microphone and followed the photographer to Fan Wubing, and then asked, "Mr. Fan, can you clarify a question? What is your current nationality?"
Fan Wubing didn't even look at him, and ignored him directly, making the man embarrassed. The few people next to him also glared at the guy, obviously complaining that this guy came to disrupt the situation.
But beyond everyone's expectations, the young man actually followed again and asked Fan Wubing the same question loudly, "Mr. Fan, can you clarify a question, what is your current nationality?"
This time his voice was even louder, and dozens of people around him heard it clearly, so they all whispered around, wanting to see where the situation would go?
