Mandarin Oriental Hotel is located at No. 5, Yunuo Road, Central. It was built in 2019. It is the most valuable asset of Jardine Mall and Land Group. It is also a world-famous top five-star hotel with luxurious decoration and pleasant sea views. However, Li Guoding was not interested in enjoying it. After he hurriedly spent lunch in the restaurant, he immediately asked Huang Renzhong to call Dongfang Charm to find someone as soon as he returned to the guest room.

He is a veteran of Taiwan's political arena and has a deep friendship with the Huang family. He treats Huang Renzhong, a young man as a horse-boy. Huang Renzhong has nothing to say. Even though he knows that time is not right, he can only take out the business card of Shen Chong, dial the office number, and after chatting for a few words, he quickly put down the phone.

"how?"

"The secretary said Chen Chong went out for dinner, he was not in the company, and he didn't say what to do for the evening." Huang Renzhong rubbed his wrinkled forehead and smiled bitterly: "It seems that he didn't take us seriously."

"Where is Wei Jingmeng's granddaughter? Call her."

"I've fought before I came to Hong Kong. Zhang Aijia said that Chen Chong never talked about investment to her, and it's useless to find her."

"Try it again." Li Guoding disagreed and said, "No matter whether it is useful or not, finding Shen Chong is a great achievement. If you can't even see someone, what investment should you talk about?

He is tall and firm in his face, and has been in the upper hand for a long time. He is in a state of being arrogant without anger in every move. Huang Renzhong dared not disobey, so he had to grab the phone, dial Zhang Aijia's office phone, then shook his head, and said, "No one answered."

Li Guoding frowned and walked around the room with his hands behind his back. He was born in 1910 and was already 70 years old at this time. He started as the general manager of a shipbuilding company in Taiwan. He served as a member of the Industrial Committee, Secretary-General of the U.S. Aid Application Committee, Minister of Finance, Minister of Economy and other important positions. He was one of the important promoters of Taiwan's economic takeoff. He was both respectful and highly powerful. Early this morning, he received an order and hurried to Hong Kong to see a young businessman who stood out. He was a little unhappy, but now he was left aside and even more anxious.

But what can I do if I am anxious? As an economic expert, he knew in his heart that this $1 billion investment cannot be fought for.

Singapore has shipping, Hong Kong has finance, South Korea has a large amount of Japanese and American investment, and its annual economic growth rate ranks first in the world. However, Taiwan's economic growth rate has dropped from the previous year to last year, and this year is even worse. The year-on-year growth rate in the first half of the year is only a little higher, which shows that the previous economic growth model has bottomed out and transformation is imminent. The electronics industry is one of the key directions of transformation, and this direction was decided by Li Guoding himself, and he also argued with Chiang Ching-kuo in person.

Taiwan only has US$7 billion in foreign exchange, one in ten of which is used to import weapons from the United States and then remove the funds to purchase various energy and mineral resources. There is not much left. However, Taiwan does not have the foundation of electronic technology. If it wants to develop this industry, it must use a lot of funds to promote it.

"Brother Guoding, I know it's a bit difficult for you to go to Hong Kong, but the 1 billion US dollar that has been sunk is a powerful shot to stimulate our Taiwan's economic transformation.

Li Guoding remembered what Sun Yunxuan said at the airport before leaving, and sighed inwardly. Times have really changed. In the past, businessmen used to curry favor with officials, but now it is the official's turn to curry favor with merchants...

Life is rare in seventy years old. I am 70 years old. What else can I afford to protect this old face? As long as I can attract investment, I will be the greatest face.

Thinking of this, he stopped walking around and said, "Ren Zhong, pack up, change clothes, and we will go to Chen Chong's office to wait for him."

Huang Renzhong was surprised and hesitant when he saw him lower his figure so much.

"Why are you stupid?" Li Guoding waved his hand and urged: "Soldiers are very fast. Singaporeans came yesterday. It's too late for us to come today. Let's drag it down..."

Just then, a knock sounded outside the door.

"Who?"

"Mr. Huang? I am Chen Chong. Is Mr. Li Guoding here?"

Huang Renzhong and Li Guoding looked at each other, stood up quickly, jogged to open the door. Sure enough, there was Shen Chong at the door, and Zhang Aijia was also with him.

"Mr. Huang, long time no see." Chen Chong and Huang Renzhong exchanged a few greetings, then smiled and greeted Li Guoding, "Mr. Li, I'm very sorry. I was in a meeting just now and couldn't go to the airport to greet him. I hope he can't let him go."

He raised the food box in his hand and said, "I wonder if Mr. Li has used lunch? I brought some food here, authentic Wakayama saury sushi."

Li Guoding is a dual member of the "Scientific Committee of the Executive Yuan" and the "Shenzhen Yuan Economic Development Committee". Chen Chong went to Taiwan last time and briefly introduced his investment plan at a meeting of the "Shenzhen Yuan". Li Guoding was also present. The two met one after another. At that time, he only felt that this young man was impetuous and complacent, his words were exaggerated, and he was suspected of sensationalizing and painting big cakes. Moreover, his private life was indecent, exposed everywhere, his behavior was weird, and he had no moral cultivation of meanness and rigorous self-discipline. Therefore, his impression of Chen Chong was not very good.

But the world is realistic, and it has always been a success and a defeat. In just two months, in the stock market, movies and electronic games, he made a big profit and made a fortune, and gained hundreds of millions of dollars in assets. He became a real world super rich man, and his social status soared rapidly. With his dazzling halo and strong strength, who still cares about his personality and private life?

Yang Guang married many concubines, called debauchery and lustful, and Li Shimin also married many concubines, but it was called Continuing the Dragon Vein...

Before Li Guoding came to Hong Kong, he had already raised Chen Chong to an equal position with him. He just said that he would take the initiative to go to Oriental Charm and wait for Chen Chong, so he raised him one level. Now Shen Chong took the initiative to visit and brought food to apologize, which made him feel good. He said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is kind, thank you, thank you, thank you, I have heard of the name of Wakayama Sushi for a long time. Today I will try it... Ren Zhong, just stand there, go and pour tea."

After some politeness, several people sat down on the sofa. Zhang Aijia took out sushi and ingredients from the food box, and arranged it while chatting.

"Aijia, your grandfather misses you very much, why don't you go back and see him more?"

"I've been very busy lately, I'll go back in two days."

Chen Chong pushed a small box of sushi to Li Guoding and said, "Old Li, this is fermented with lactic acid bacteria. It is very soft and glutinous. It is good for the stomach and intestines. Please try it."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Chen, please."

"Little sister, how was the box office of the movie you made?"

"It's a sloppy, I've only collected more than 00,000 yuan now."

"It's only been released for three days? That's great. When will it be released in Taiwan?"

“This weekend.”

Li Guoding had something to do and was unwilling to eat. He barely ate a piece of sushi, coughed gently, interrupting Huang Renzhong's unnutritional nonsense, and then looked at him and signaled him to explore Chen Chong's whisper.

This old guy was too impatient, he hadn't even taken a sip of tea yet...

Huang Renzhong asked with a smile while complaining, "Mr. Chen, I heard that Minister Wu from Singapore came to Hong Kong yesterday?"

"Yes, I had dinner with him last night." Li Guoding is a very experienced political tycoon. It would only make people laugh at him when he plays with flowers in front of him. Chen Chong didn't hide it and said bluntly: "I am going to set up a R&D center in Singapore and invest 50UU million US dollars in initial investment."

Li Guoding was surprised, put down his chopsticks and said, "Mr. Chen, please think twice. Singapore has a small land and a small number of people, which is not an ideal choice for starting a factory."

"Old Li's eyes were like a torch, and he was right." Chen Chong also put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Singapore's development space is limited, and it is indeed not as good as Taiwan. I plan to invest in the construction of a R&D center there. As for the production center, I am still studying it."

"Mr. Chen, God of Wealth, what else can I study? I must be here in our Taiwan." Huang Renzhong joked: "After all, you are half of our son-in-law in Taiwan, so how can you say that the water flows out of the water."

Zhang Aijia gave him a blank look, but didn't say anything. Chen Chong smiled and said, "Taiwan is indeed a very suitable place, but I was a little doubtful, so I didn't make a decision for a long time."

"What doubts? Mr. Chen is okay, but it's okay to talk about it." Li Guoding slapped his chest and promised: "As long as Mr. Chen is willing to invest, everything is easy to discuss. In terms of transportation, we are no worse than Singapore, in terms of skilled workers, in terms of preferential policies..."

As he spoke, he stood up, took out a stack of documents from the bedroom, and then talked endlessly about Taiwan's advantageous environment and preferential policies. Chen Chong didn't say a word, just listened quietly and looked carefully. After fully understanding Li Guoding's trump card, he spoke: "Mr. Li, look, I made a lot of money by making game consoles, but I didn't live in Silicon Valley. I bought a lot of stocks on Wall Street, but I didn't live in New York. I invested in many companies in Japan, but I didn't live in Tokyo, but I have always lived in Hong Kong."

"In Hong Kong, Jardine Malaya, Hutchison Whampoa, Hutchison Whampoa, and even HSBC, many companies want to invite me to be a director, but I haven't gone there. I have only worked in one place." He pointed to the location of the Oriental Charming Building, then took out a business card from his pocket and said, "Old Li, this is my business card. Look, there is only one title on it."

Li Guoding took it and found that the business card was very simple, with only one pattern and a line of characters printed. The pattern was the oriental charm of white characters on red, and the text was the Chinese and English name of Chen Chong. There was nothing else except that.

"What does Mr. Chen mean?"

"Some media in Hong Kong like to attract attention. They say that I am the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, but they are nonsense and can't be true." Chen Chong shook his head and joked himself: "If I really am a reincarnation of a god, it must be not a god of wealth, but a Kuixing or a comedian, because I have no interest in making money, and I am only interested in culture and entertainment."

"Mr. Chen is really good at joking." Huang Renzhong saw that Chen Chong changed the topic and seemed to be not very interested in what Li Guoding said just now. In order to adjust the atmosphere, he smiled and said, "I have earned more than one billion dollars in just over a year. If I were interested, how much should I earn?"

"Mr. Huang, I have been fiddling with movies and magazines since last year. How much money will I have if I spend this time and energy on business and stock trading?" Chen Chong smiled proudly. He picked up a piece of sushi with chopsticks, threw it on the ground, and then said: "This piece of sushi costs HK$0, which is very expensive, but I say it will be lost, not because it is not delicious, nor because I have money, nor because I love to waste, just because I can throw it, so I throw it away, and it is the same for making money. I can become a billionaire, not because I am lucky, hardworking, hard work, diligence or other reasons, just because I can do it, so I did it."

I could do it, so I did...

This is a bit confusing, but the meaning is obvious - making money is just a slight effort, and all his billions of wealth were earned without any intention...

This is probably the most arrogant and unreasonable businessman in the world...

Chen Chong pulled a tissue paper, bent down and picked up the sushi, put it on the coffee table, and then said, "I don't have any ambition or career. I just want to be happy in everything. Isn't there anything I have to say? The most important thing in life is happiness, and happiness is the most important thing in doing what I like. If I can't do what I like the most, even if I have all the wealth in the world, what's the point?"

"What does Mr. Chen like?"

"I'm very interested in the entertainment industry, especially movies, so since I made my first money, I've been messing with movies and got to know IvIa." Chen Chong made a gesture to Zhang Aijia, signaling her to take out the documents in her bag, and said: "I opened a film branch in Taiwan last year. I have been harassed by all kinds of strange people and things, and I have never been able to operate normally, which makes me very uneasy."

Zhang Aijia handed Li Guoding a thin folder. Li Guoding took it over and browsed it quickly, then put it aside, and said, "Mr. Chen, under the current political situation, these things are inevitable, but I can guarantee that there will be no such troubles in the investment and construction of a factory. Whoever dares to make trouble will let me get out."

Alas, I played the piano to the cow, and I talked for a long time and it became nonsense...

However, in the eyes of such old-school politicians, making movies is just a pastime of not doing their jobs, and it is nothing to be considered a matter of the matter. It is even more worth mentioning when it comes to a $1 billion business...

"Mr. Li, Singapore is indeed not as ideal as Taiwan, but what about the mainland? A worker in Taiwan has a monthly salary of at least US$0. A worker in the mainland has a monthly salary of only US$. With this one alone, Taiwan cannot compete with the mainland." Chen Chongyu Qian pointed out and said: "It's just that the mainland does not allow foreign capital to open film companies in the mainland. Taiwan allows it. This is your only attraction to me. If my film company can operate normally, I will invest. If I don't allow it, I will not go.
