Founded in 1910, it used to be the famous Shanghai Association. The designers were famous foreign architects Tarrant and Maurice. Even the interior design was done by the Japanese architect Kikutaro Shimoda. The entire design was based on Baroque style.
Classical style.
As early as the early 1990s, this was the stage for Shanghai's social circles, and later it became a place to welcome foreign guests and carry out important activities.
Therefore, no matter what era they are in, the people who can come in and out of here will not be ordinary characters.
Half past seven in the evening.
It's in the lobby on the first floor of Dongfeng Hotel.
This is a luxuriously decorated ball hall. At this time, the hall is also filled with business celebrities in suits.
And every man is accompanied by a good-looking and well-dressed dance partner.
On the social stage, although women are not the protagonist, they can sometimes become the topic of conversation.
In the hall, the dance has already begun.
In the center of the dance floor, there were many people singing and dancing, and many people were holding wine glasses, gathering in twos and threes to say hello.
"President Han, you are finally here."
In the crowd, when Han Binghong led Chu Tianyao into the venue, people he knew well along the way kept saying hello to Han Binghong.
"Who is this?"
When everyone saw Han Binghong accompanying Chu Tianyao, they naturally became curious about the young man's identity.
Han Binghong smiled slightly and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Chu Tianyao Chu of Xingyao Technology, and he is also a good friend of mine!"
"Xingyao Technology?"
After hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, but then put on a smiling face, raised their glasses and raised their hands to pay slight tribute to Chu Tianyao.
Naturally, they had never heard of what kind of company Xingyao Technology was, but judging from Han Binghong's attitude, they estimated that this Mr. Chu was probably a young man from a wealthy family.
Although everyone did not neglect him, they simply said hello because of Han Binghong's status.
Chu Tianyao didn't care about this at all, he just raised his glass in return.
"As you said, I have already sent an invitation to Cai Zhiping, but I can't find where he is at this time. I will check for you later."
After greeting everyone, Han Binghong took Chu Tianyao aside and whispered while going to serve the wine.
"President Han, thank you very much for this. I owe you a favor."
Chu Tianyao also said.
It was true that a sorority party was going to be held in Shanghai. Han Binghong originally wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Chu Tianyao, so he sent an invitation to Chu Tianyao. However, when Chu Tianyao learned the news, he took the opportunity to ask Han Binghong to help him.
busy.
Han Binghong also sent a copy of the invitation to the sorority party to Cai Zhiping.
"You are out of touch when you say this. If you really want to thank me, give me the agency management rights of Anhui Province. What do you think?"
Han Binghong said with a sly smile.
After hearing this, Chu Tianyao couldn't help but also slightly curled up his lips.
"If I really give it to you, are you really willing to take it?"
Chu Tianyao's answer made Han Binghong slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Chu is really a smart man."
Han Binghong picked up two glasses of wine from the table and handed one of them to Chu Tianyao's hand. "For me, the gain and loss of having one more Anhui Province market are not big. How about we make a bet?"
"How do you want to bet?"
Chu Tianyao took the wine glass and asked.
"One year, if you are still in a stalemate with Wanyan Company and cannot win the eastern market, why not give me the exclusive agency rights and I will fight the market war for you."
After saying this, Han Binghong's eyes lost the previous smile, and instead looked at Chu Tianyao with some seriousness.
After hearing Han Binghong's words, Chu Tianyao naturally understood what the other party was up to.
However, he was confident that if he wanted to defeat Wanyan Company, it might not take him even a year.
Ding!
Chu Tianyao raised his wine glass and touched it lightly with Han Binghong.
"make a deal!"
When Chu Tianyao said these two words, Han Binghong's eyes flashed.
"Mr. Chu is really a cheerful person!"
Han Binghong laughed loudly, then raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Although I'm crazy about how old Tianyao is, if you really talk about your courage, I have to admire you."
Han Binghong put down his wine glass and smiled at Chu Tianyao again.
At this time, his name for Chu Tianyao seemed to have changed.
When Chu Tianyao heard this, he looked at the people in the hall.
"Brother Han said this to offend me. Are there more than just one or two people here who are better than me, Chu?"
Hearing this, Han Binghong shook his head and glanced at everyone in the room, with more disdain in his eyes.
"No, you are different from them. I can't be wrong about people... Within ten years at most, I think most of the people here will not be able to compare with you."
In Han Binghong's words, on the one hand, he was optimistic about Chu Tianyao, and on the other hand, he expressed contempt for the so-called business celebrities present.
When Chu Tianyao heard these words, he was quite surprised. It seemed that Han Binghong, the vice president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, was not very optimistic about this group of Shanghai businessmen.
Of course, Han Binghong had the confidence to speak like this.
He is only thirty years old, but he works for a large trading company like Datong Trading. With such a career at his age, it is inevitable that he will have the aloof and arrogant temperament of a young man.
It wasn't until he met Chu Tianyao that Han Binghong realized that this guy seemed to have an extremely strong appetite for him.
Although Chu Tianyao seemed to be low-key, he could tell just from the first meeting between the two to discuss cooperation that Chu Tianyao and him were the same kind of person.
One is sharp and the other is restrained.
In fact, both of them have an aloofness in their hearts that is difficult for others to understand.
"Let's not talk about that. The people attending this sorority are not only local businessmen from Shanghai, but also many well-known domestic entrepreneurs. If you are interested in making friends, I can help you introduce them."
Han Binghong held the wine glass, patted Chu Tianyao's shoulder, and took him to say hello to several acquaintances.
For such an occasion, Chu Tianyao would naturally have it at his fingertips.
Following Han Binghong around, he got to know all the guests in the venue.
With Han Binghong here, although these people didn't know Chu Tianyao's identity, they all greeted him with smiles, and they became brothers with Chu Tianyao while changing glasses.
In the meantime, Chu Tianyao also met the famous traitor king Mou Qizhong under the introduction of Han Binghong!
At this time, Mou Qizhong seemed to have had a few more drinks, or maybe he was in a high mood. He led a group of people and talked about his recent business experience.
"I have already negotiated with Kazakhstan and will take the Voyage 2 satellite we invested in to their country's launch site for launch."
"I tell you, the business on this earth has been done long ago. If you want to get rich in the future, you have to go to heaven and do business in heaven."
Mou Qizhong held a large glass of red wine and said to the people gathered in front of him.
When they heard Mou Qizhong's words, everyone present just laughed and said nothing, looking like they were looking at a clown.
Mou Qizhong loves to hype and brag, which is something almost everyone knows.
It was precisely because of this man's bragging temper that he told people on the train a few years ago that Russia was going to sell airplanes.
Mou Qizhong was a braggart, but he was also a smart businessman. When he thought about the lack of light industrial products in Russia, which was facing a disintegration crisis, he took out a loan from the bank and purchased more than 800 trucks of cans and other light industrial products.
Went to Russia to do business.
At that time, Sichuan Airlines had just been established and was planning to purchase a batch of airplanes. Mou Qizhong exchanged cans for airplanes with his left hand, and sold the airplanes to Sichuan Airlines with his right hand.
Because of this reselling business, Mou Qizhong directly made a profit of 100 million, which also made him famous in the early 1990s, and he has become the fourth richest man in China on the Forbes billionaire list.
In the dance hall.
Faced with Mou Qizhong's various fanciful business ideas, most people agreed casually, with a slightly indifferent attitude.
However, Chu Tianyao happened to hear what the other party said and couldn't help but praise him.
"Chairman Mou said it well. This business in the sky does not refer to the aerospace business. Since the Americans first landed on the moon, countries have attached great importance to aerospace projects in the past few decades. I also think that this project will be able to
Make a lot of money."
Chu Tianyao said loudly, which actually made Han Binghong startled.
I didn't expect that Chu Tianyao would identify so much with Madman Mou.
At this moment, when he suddenly heard someone in the room recognizing him, Mou Qizhong also looked overjoyed and looked at Chu Tianyao with wide eyes.
"Where is this little brother from?
These are well said and insightful!”
Mou Qizhong said, walked straight to Chu Tianyao, stretched out his hand and toasted a glass of wine.
Chu Tianyao touched it with his wine glass. Before he could say anything, Han Binghong took the opportunity to introduce him: "Chairman Mou, this is Mr. Chu Tianyao from Xingyao Technology. He is a good friend of mine, and he is also
As someone who works in a technology company, maybe I have something in common with you, Director Mou, in this regard."
"A boy from the Han family?"
It seemed that he knew Han Binghong. After Mou Qizhong glanced at Han Binghong, his eyes fell on Chu Tianyao.
"Boy, it's not easy for someone to dare to start a technology company at such a young age!"
Mou Qizhong smiled and patted Chu Tianyao on the shoulder.
In front of Chu Tianyao, he naturally had to show his demeanor as a senior in the business world.
To be honest, Chu Tianyao somewhat admired Mou Qizhong.
There are many people in China who started out as trespassers, but this one is the most famous one in the trespassers world. But later, because Mou Qizhong’s idea was too exaggerated, even ahead of his time, he was asked to start the business of exchanging cans for airplanes.
From then on, every day became worse.
If Chu Tianyao remembers correctly, Mou Qizhong's Nande Group should have gone downhill at this time. In a few years, various lawsuits will continue to entangle him, and Mou Qizhong will also be charged with fraud in a few years.
Imprisoned and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Of course, these are all things for later.
However, Chu Tianyao admired Mou Qizhong's business ideas in the aerospace business.
"Chairman Mou, I just heard you talking about satellites. Is it possible that your company is planning to engage in satellite projects?"
After the toast, Chu Tianyao asked Mou Qizhong again.
If it were anyone else, they might not reveal the company's secrets, but who is Mou Qizhong? Many people outside secretly call him Crazy Mou.
At this time, Mou Qizhong did not shy away from anything, but instead talked about his business territory to Chu Tianyao.
"That's right, our Nande Group has established the Nande Satellite Company and will soon launch our own satellite. As long as the satellite is successfully launched, we will lease the satellite to the International Satellite Organization and we can earn a few dollars every year just by collecting rent.
100 million."
Mou Qizhong had a slightly drunken look on his face, and when he said such big words, many people in the room lowered their heads and laughed.
Several hundred million a year in rent?
In this case, I am afraid that no one except Mou Qizhong would dare to say it.
Launching satellites, not to mention the small South German Satellite Company, even some countries may not be able to succeed with the efforts of the whole country.
In the eyes of everyone, what is the difference between such a plan to make a fortune and a fantasy?
However, as a future reborn, after hearing Mou Qizhong's words, Chu Tianyao had to express his admiration.
Thirty years later, Tesla founder Musk had a Mars plan. However, thirty years ago today, Mou Qizhong's business had already entered outer space.
I have to say that this guy's idea is really a bit ahead of his time, and it's not even something people of this era would dare to think about.
In addition, if Chu Tianyao remembers correctly, the reason why Mou Qizhong's satellite project ultimately failed was not just because of technical problems, but because Mou Qizhong will be involved in a lawsuit next year.
Because he had exposed a fake passport trafficking gang, Mou Qizhong attracted many malicious reports. When Mou Qizhong was preparing to go to the United States to discuss satellite mortgage financing business, he was detained at the Beijing Airport by the police who suddenly appeared.
Five months later, Mou Qizhong's charges were cleared. However, due to this detention, he missed a great opportunity and the satellite project had to be aborted. As a result, he was forced to transfer his equity in the heading satellite to International
Satellite Organization, International Satellite Organization acquired the equity of South German Company, and returned the principal invested by South German Company and the half-year rent that has started operation.
In fact, what outsiders didn't know was that Mou Qizhong's satellite project had already begun to generate profits at this time, and the fantasy business he said was actually feasible.
It's a pity that he can't wait until the day he proves it to the world.
In the venue, facing the disdain of everyone, Mou Qizhong was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he was somewhat proud that everyone was drunk and I was alone.
It seemed that Chu Tianyao was more pleasing to his eye, so he toasted Chu Tianyao with another glass of wine, and then said:
"Little brother, my business map is not just about satellites. To put it bluntly, this satellite is a very large signal amplifier. It is always inseparable from the earth. What I want to do in the future is to build a spaceship that can send people to Mars.
That kind of, as long as it succeeds, this technology will be rushed to buy by all countries..."
It was obvious that Mou Qizhong was a little drunk.
I'm afraid even he himself is not sure how true or false these words are.
Chu Tianyao smiled and clinked a few glasses with him. After saying some words of approval, he turned around and left.
If you stay with a lunatic like Mou Qizhong, sooner or later you will become abnormal.
