On the one hand, Zheng Jiachun is very satisfied with his son Zheng Zhigang. He is smart and talented and takes his work very seriously. On the other hand, he feels the aggressive momentum brought by his son. For example, when Zheng Yutong retired last year and Zheng Jiachun was promoted to the chairmanship,
His son Zheng Zhigang also became the general manager.
This is like Zheng Jiachun, who has been a prince for decades, finally abdicated the throne and became the Supreme Emperor. He sat on the throne, but before he could show his talents, his son became the prince and presided over the state affairs! This made Zheng Jiachun feel very uncomfortable.
But Zheng Yutong was still there, so he could only endure this sigh and carefully supported Zheng Zhigang to take the position.
It means that in the handover of the Zheng family, Zheng Jiachun, the rich second generation, only plays a transitional role, which of course makes him very uncomfortable, even if the successor is his own son.
Originally, it would not take long for Zheng Jiachun to make the transition. Unexpectedly, Zheng Yutong had only retired for a year. Lukfook Jewelry was faced with a shortage of raw materials, forcing Zheng Yutong to come back. This is not a good thing, but Zheng Jiachun
But he saw in it the possibility of taking power.
Therefore, today Zheng Zhigang was supposed to come to greet Zhang Yang, but Zheng Jiachun took the initiative to come in order to get to know Zhang Yang in advance. On the surface, it was not obvious, but in the future cooperation, this attitude would add a lot of points to Zheng Jiachun.
It can be said that along the way, both sides are speculating on each other's purpose. In comparison, Zhang Yang has taken the initiative. Both the casino and the jadeite are in Zhang Yang's hands. With the advantage of raw materials, Zhang Yang naturally has nothing to fear.
.
Zheng Yutong lives in a mansion in Repulse Bay. It covers an area of 16,000 square feet and is one of the few luxury homes in Hong Kong. After getting off the car, Zhang Yang walked around in a circle and sighed: "In such an inch of land in Hong Kong,
For a place with a lot of money, this is indeed a sky-high mansion!"
Nie Xinyi whispered: "Boss, your palace is much more beautiful than this one!"
Zhang Yang smiled slightly, the concepts are different, just like one is a house in the East Third Ring Road and the other is a villa in Xianghe. The value is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
"Mr. Zhang, please!" Zheng Jiachun said.
"Chairman Zheng is so polite!" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
The two walked into the Zheng family's mansion together. It was obvious that today was a private banquet. The Zheng family was entertaining Zhang Yang and his party alone. It can be said that everything was perfect here. The contact between the two parties was in a friendly atmosphere.
Whether it was Zheng Yutong's invitation or Zheng Jiachun's reception, Zhang Yang felt the other party's sincerity and active attitude of seeking cooperation.
Until Zhang Yang saw a young man in his thirties wearing glasses standing behind Zheng Yutong, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised with pride, a touch of disdain between his eyebrows, and a dignified look.
Unexpectedly, this is Zheng Zhigang, whom the Zheng family focused on training.
If Zhang Yang has just debuted, his expression will change immediately when he sees Zheng Zhigang's expression, making people see his immaturity. But after experiencing so many things, Zhang Yang's mind has already matured beyond his age.
There are so many of them that it is difficult for outsiders to detect his emotional changes.
The same was true at this time. Although Zhang Yang was already very dissatisfied with Zheng Zhigang in his heart, he still said to Zheng Yutong with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zheng, we meet again. Thank you for your invitation!"
"Mr. Zhang, come and sit down! As early as after Mr. Zhang was hailed as the latest generation of Jade King in China, I wanted to chat with you, but I never found the opportunity. Today we are going to have a good discussion about the future direction of the jewelry market!
"Zheng Yutong said.
Zhang Yang said reservedly: "Mr. Zheng, you're too polite. I'm just a latecomer. How dare I act in front of you? I'll listen to you!"
Zheng Yutong laughed loudly and said: "You are dishonest. Jinyuge, the largest brand in the Chinese market, has turned into history in your hands, and you are still humble to me here. You are not targeting my Luk Fook."
It’s jewelry!”
Zheng Yutong kept staring closely at Zhang Yang's eyes, trying to find out what he was thinking, but Zheng Yutong was disappointed. From the beginning to the end, Zhang Yang's eyes did not change at all, and he could not see his inner thoughts.
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Mr. Zheng, you are kidding me. Lukfook Jewelry has gone through more than ninety years of ups and downs. How can I covet it?"
This sentence is true. Although Lukfook Jewelry is in trouble for a while, the foundation of this old jewelry company is very strong. Even if it rests on its laurels, it will not be able to finish it in a year or two, just because of its treatment of jade.
The market has different opinions, which is why the sales volume has dropped. If Lukfook Jewelry fully competes for the jade market, they will still be able to gain a foothold based on their background.
However, Zheng Yutong clearly discovered the crisis behind it. Now that he has inventory, he can certainly compete with Boguzhai for the mainland market, but what happens after their inventory disappears? The jade mines near Yeren Mountain have all been occupied by Zhang Yang through military means.
As long as no one can expel him, there will be a steady supply of goods for Bogu Zhai. No one is sure how long this can last.
"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore. Just go and see if the restaurant is ready!" Zheng Yutong turned around and said.
Zheng Zhigang smiled slightly at Zhang Yang, then turned and left. I have to say that in these few minutes, Zheng Zhigang behaved very well. He stood there without saying a word, like a good grandson. But one's first impression cannot be reversed.
In Zhang Yang's eyes, all this is just acting.
"My grandson is much worse than Mr. Zhang!" Zheng Yutong said.
Zhang Yang naturally would not take it seriously and said modestly: "Mr. Zheng is being too modest. I have heard of Mr. Zheng's reputation. He is a talented student at Harvard University. He single-handedly promoted the listing of New World Department Store in Hong Kong and founded a shopping art museum. These achievements are not ordinary people's."
Achievable."
Sure enough, Zheng Yutong burst into laughter when he heard Zhang Yang praising his grandson.
However, this also allowed Zhang Yang to make a judgment. Although Zheng Yutong was old and strong, he was a little emotional when it came to Zheng Zhigang. Thinking of Zheng Jiachun's humble attitude along the way, Zhang Yang felt an inexplicable move in his heart. This may be the reason why Zheng Jiachu was born.
The key point of prosperity turning into decline.
Families in places like Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan often look at the performance of the third generation when choosing successors. This is understandable in order to continue the glory of the family. If Zheng Jiachun is the kind of incompetent rich second generation who eats, drinks and has fun, there will be no problem, but obviously
Zheng Jiachun is not that kind of person, he is still a very capable person, so it is not a good thing for Zheng Yutong to be so eager to support his grandson Zheng Zhigang to become the leader.
However, the Zheng family's affairs have nothing to do with Zhang Yang, and he will not mention it. As long as the Zheng family can manage the gambling licenses they bid for and implement the investment seriously, Zhang Yang doesn't care who is in charge of the Zheng family. As for Zheng Zhigang's displeasure with Zheng Zhigang's return,
As long as the other party doesn't violate your own rules, that's fine.
"Grandpa, the restaurant is ready and waiting for you." Zheng Zhigang said.
Zheng Yutong stood up with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, please!"
Zhang Yang stood up with a smile. Zheng Zhigang took a step back and smiled at Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang didn't feel any sincerity from this man. His arrogance seemed to be radiating in his bones. This feeling made Zhang Yang very uncomfortable. This may also be related to jealousy.
It's related.
After all, everything Zhang Yang has now is his own hard work, while Zheng Zhigang has become one of the four real estate kings in Hong Kong and the heir to the largest jewelry company in Hong Kong without doing anything.
It can be said that Zhang Yang is just a loser in front of him, while the other party is a rich, handsome man. The hostility brought about by this difference in status can be felt even if the two parties do not communicate verbally.
The dinner was very boring. The only thing that surprised Zhang Yang was that Zheng Zhigang's wife was very beautiful. She spoke fluent English and exuded a unique charm, which made Zhang Yang faintly moved.
After the meal, it was time for the main topic to begin. This time, only Zhang Yang and Zheng Yutong met alone, while Nie Xinyi, Jiang Lili and other women were received by Zheng Jiachun and his son.
"Mr. Zhang, last time I heard you mentioned that Boguzhai Jewelry Company was going to enter the Hong Kong market, I didn't expect that mainland jewelry companies would come in so quickly!" Zheng Yutong said with emotion.
Zhang Yang blinked and said: "Mr. Zheng, this is just an intention. Bogu Zhai has no rivals in the mainland. Sooner or later he will go abroad. Since it is so late, it is better to leave early. Are you right?"
Zheng Yutong said: "The idea is good, but not all companies can start in Hong Kong. The most fierce competition in the Southeast Asian jewelry market is Hong Kong. It is not a good thing to develop hastily. But if Mr. Zhang really has this interest,
I can help!"
Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes. This old fox never mentioned the jadeite rough. It turned out that he was waiting for him here. But Zhang Yang was indeed a little moved. Although Hong Kong is the territory of China, it has a language advantage and is easier than entering the market of other countries.
However, this is still a blind spot for domestic forces. Without the help of local snakes, it will definitely be difficult. And if someone interferes, it is not impossible to fail.
And if you have the help of the Zheng family, you won't have this problem. The only question now is, the Zheng family has done so much, including auctioning gambling cards and helping Boguzhai get a foothold, how much do you have to pay?
