It was too late, so after sending Cao Mo and the others to the hotel, Yang Xu drove back with his sister Yang Dong and brother-in-law Yu Wenwei.
In the late 1990s, the Dongzhou County Government set aside a piece of land near the then new county government building and allocated it to government staff to build small foreign-style buildings according to unified standards. Dongzhou was removed from the county and established as a district, and merged with Chonghai City. The district
The areas near the government are also increasingly prosperous, and small western-style houses are more comfortable to live in than remote villas and are also valuable.
Yang Xu also has a small apartment in Dongzhou District. He wants to be free and at ease, but his sister needs the help of the elderly to take care of the children. Instead of living in their own new house, Yang Xu and her husband Yu Wenwei still live in a small foreign-style building.
It was almost twelve o'clock when he returned to his parents' house, but Yang Xu was not in a hurry to go back to his place. When he saw his father sitting in the living room smoking, he parked the car in the alley and left with his sister Yang Dong and his brother-in-law Yu Wenwei.
Go in.
"After all these years of fooling around, I know that there are a lot of braggadocios in society, so I give 50% off whatever others say..." Yang Xu said honestly, sitting in front of his father.
"I asked you to search the Internet for information about Tianyue Industry and Tianyue Industry. You didn't listen at all, did you? You discounted my words by 50%?" Yang Jianguo was not surprised by the so-called knowing son Mo Ruofu.
He picked up the newspaper and slapped his son Yang Xu.
"I searched, and there was too little relevant information on the Internet - Tianyue Industry manufactures cars, but it mainly sells motorcycles and pickup trucks to Africa. I was thinking about how much influence this can have. Now in China,
Aren't manufacturers there all the time selling fake and inferior products? There are only car forums in China where Tianyue's cars appear, but none of them are sold in the market - I checked here for information, but I'm not interested in continuing!
"Yang Xu said honestly, "I really didn't expect Secretary Shan to come forward today, and Tianyue builds a car, and Dongsheng can only be a small shareholder in it!"
Now that the real estate market is so hot, Dongsheng may not be ranked among the top ten in the national real estate industry, but its popularity in Chonghai is far higher than that of other real estate developers.
When the debt crisis of Dongsheng Real Estate was at its worst, no one paid attention to the apartments in Ziying Lake New Town when the price was as low as 4,000 per square meter. However, in 2009, the price of new houses there had soared to 1,340 per square meter, and the supply still exceeded demand.
This is really something that countless Chonghai people regret.
Yang Xu did not deny it. Although his father had warned him very seriously, when he picked up Cheng Xi and Cao Mo on the highway at noon, he was fully convinced that what his father said was just a lie from his sister-in-law.
False, exaggerated, not really taken seriously.
At this time, he couldn't help but think carefully about the contact for such a long time after noon, and whether there was any slackness or intentional or unintentional indifference.
"Go back to bed quickly - you have to get up early to accompany them to visit Chonghai tomorrow. Don't look like you are yawning all the time." Yang Jianguo interrupted his son Yang Xu's random thoughts and asked him to go back to bed first.
Yang Xu didn't mention the matter of starting his own company at all today. One was because of his pride, and the other was that he didn't think that there was an opportunity for him. Yang Jianguo saw it all.
And he also knew that many things should not be taken too seriously, so he did not say much in the afternoon...
…………
…………
Early the next morning, Yang Xu got up. He originally thought that he could accompany Cao Mo and the others to visit Chonghai today, but he didn't want to receive a call from his brother-in-law Yu Wenwei on the way to the Hehua International Hotel where Cao Mo and the others were staying.
Yu Wenwei said on the phone that Shan Zeming's secretary and deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office Chen Weigang contacted them and said that when Secretary Shan rushed to the provincial capital for a meeting early in the morning, he specifically asked Chen Wei to stay in Chonghai and rushed to the hotel to accompany Cao Mo for breakfast on his behalf.
——As a result, Zhou Bin, secretary of the park working committee, and his father also had to rush to the hotel to show up.
Since it was not explained clearly beforehand and Cao Mo's sleeping and living habits were unclear, Yu Wenwei asked Yang Xu to call Xiao Jun or Lu Junbo first and ask when they would show up at the hotel to have breakfast together.
Xiao Jun got up very early, and contacted Xu Bin and Gu Fan early in the morning to inform Cao Mo of the results of last night's banquet with Shan Zeming and Ding Zhaoqiang, and to discuss how Tianyue Industry and the carmakers could convey the results of the talks as soon as possible.
Implement it.
Xiao Jun received a call from Yang Xu and asked Chen Wei and Zhou Bin to come to the hotel first.
He could first report some of the situations that he had communicated with Xu Bin and Gu Fan to them, without having to figure out when Cao Mo would get up.
And Yang Jianguo had work to do, so there was no need to rush to the hotel.
Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for an elder like Yang Jianguo to sit in a hotel and wait for his niece and soon-to-be nephew and son-in-law to get up; even Yu Wenwei doesn't need to come over, so there is no need for them to complicate things.
Hehua International Hotel is the first five-star hotel directly operated by Dongsheng Real Estate's commercial group in Chonghai, and it is currently a landmark construction in Chonghai.
Cao Mo was pulled out of bed by Cheng Xi and went to the cafeteria on the second floor to eat. Only then did he realize that Xiao Jun had already been talking to Chen Wei and Zhou Bin here for a long time and apologized very embarrassedly.
Chen Wei, Zhou Bin and others also came over on behalf of Shan Zeming to express their concern. Seeing that they were also promoting relevant matters very efficiently, they simply had breakfast, said some polite words, and stood up to leave. Without any worries, Cao Mo went on a private trip to Chonghai.
of elegance.
However, the weather is particularly cloudy today, and people sitting indoors can hear the howling of the cold wind through the laminated glass.
Chonghai and Xinhai were close together, and everyone was afraid of the bone-chilling humidity in winter. Cao Mo missed the hot Gulf of Guinea and asked Cheng Xi: "Are you sure you want to go out in this weather?"
"Why don't we go to the executive floor to drink tea in the morning, have dinner at noon and check the weather before planning the afternoon?" Yang Xu suggested, "Hehua Hotel is located on the bank of Ziying Lake. We can sit on the executive floor to drink tea.
Looking at Ziyang Lake should be more enjoyable than going to the scenic spots in the cold wind!"
"That's a good relationship!" Cao Mo agreed with Yang Xu's suggestion and was very afraid of going out to visit scenic spots in this weather.
The executive floor is also a VIP floor. In star hotels, in addition to more high-end and luxurious housing, executive lounges are usually placed on this floor, with relatively loose leisure areas, conference rooms, and independent
catering provided.
The room Yang Xu arranged for Cao Mo and the others was on the executive floor. It was not a deluxe suite, but a simple executive double room was twice as expensive as an ordinary room.
If you don't want to step out of the hotel in this kind of weather, sitting lazily in the leisure area on the executive floor drinking tea and chatting is definitely not a bad choice, unless you meet someone you hate.
After getting out of the elevator, everyone was about to walk to the leisure cafe area. There were no customers in the morning. Except for the two staff members behind the service bar, they saw several young men and women sitting on a low table chatting in the distance.
Cao Mo was about to walk over there, but when he saw Yang Xu, he was stunned for a moment, and his expression became unnatural. It was obvious that among these young men and women, there was someone Yang Xu wanted to see.
"...Would you like to sit in our room for a while?" Cao Mo asked.
Cao Mo and the others were not staying in a deluxe suite, but the executive room was quite large, so everyone could sit down and chat without being crowded.
However, someone had already noticed them. A girl with a mole on her left cheek happily waved to Yang Xu and called over: "Yang Xu, you are also in Hehua!"
"Yeah, what a coincidence, you guys are here too!" Yang Xu responded awkwardly, but stopped and made no intention of walking over to say hello.
Next to the girl with the mole, there is a single sofa with two young men and women sitting together.
The young man had a slicked-down hair and shiny hair wax, which made him look quite imposing. He turned around and saw Yang Xu, and waved his hand coldly as a greeting.
The girl who was sitting closely on the sofa with the big-headed young man wore a close-fitting light purple cashmere sweater indoors. She looked quite slender and graceful, with a pretty face. When she turned around to see Yang Xu, the look on her face
But it suddenly became complicated. He stood up from the single sofa in a panic, and shouted with some stuttering: "Yang...Yang Xu, you and your friend are also...also in Hehua, what a coincidence!"
Seeing this scene, Cao Mo joked to Cheng Xi in a low voice: "I have already made up 10,000 words of bloody stories in my head."
The girl with the mole saw Yang Xu by accident, the girl in purple clothes was a little afraid of seeing Yang Xu, and the dashing young man looked indifferent and did not take Yang Xu seriously at all.
If it were just like this, Cao Mo and the others would have turned around and walked to the room, and nothing would have happened. However, sitting opposite the young man with a big head, a thin and long-faced young man had no intention of letting Yang Xu go, and walked over with a narrow look and said
:
"Yang Xu, you told Li Yao last time that you were already in contact with investors, and you wanted Li Yao to continue to work with you - are these friends the investors you found? Come sit down and chat together.
Maybe our project is more suitable!”
Cao Mo was not a nosy person, so he looked calmly at the lanky-faced young man who wanted to stir up trouble.
Even though Yang Xu didn't want to cause trouble at this time, he couldn't suppress the entanglement in his heart. He couldn't help but look at the girl in purple. Her feet seemed to be stuck to the carpet and she couldn't step up for a while.
And his move immediately made the dashing young man feel unhappy. He stretched out his hand and pulled the purple-clothed girl onto his lap and sat down. He looked over with a sharp look: "You also see Li Yao's relationship with me.
Here we are, I hope you have some self-awareness - and also, do you think your broken company can be turned around by just finding a few bullshit investors?"
"..." Cheng Xi was still very protective of her cousin. When she saw someone bullying Yang Xu, she grabbed Cao Mo's arm and raised Wu Shan's big eyes to look at him.
"Then let's drink tea here!" Cao Mo took Cheng Xi's hand and walked to the leisure teahouse area first. He sat down in front of a coffee table five or six meters away from the young men and women.
Take a look at the young men opposite.
Yang Xu passively followed Cao Mo and Cheng Xi and sat down at the coffee table. However, he was extremely embarrassed and didn't really want to explain his grievances with these young men and women.
Cao Mo waved to the staff behind the bar and asked the staff to bring him tea orders.
"Mr. Cao, what do you want to drink?" The male staff member behind the bar brought over the tea order.
Hehua is a five-star hotel operated by a commercial group affiliated with Dongsheng Real Estate. When Yang Xu came to book a room the day before, the hotel didn't know that Cao Mo was staying.
However, Chen Fan had already said hello last night, and the hotel would definitely not dare to ignore it anymore - even if they would not disturb Cao Mo for no reason, the staff on the executive floor had already received instructions, and they would be there whenever Cao Mo needed it.
Provide timely and meticulous service.
"Bring us a pot of Lapsang Souchong..." Cao Mo was a little stuffed after breakfast, so he ordered a pot of black tea to relieve his hunger.
After a while, the staff member brought the brewed black tea over and placed a note on the tray.
Cao Mo took it over and saw a line of handwriting on it: "Sitting opposite the girl in purple is Qi Tongwei, the president of Green Sky Entertainment Media Investment Company, which mainly invests in entertainment media; Qi Tongwei's father, Qi Yimin, is the president of a listed company in Chonghai City.
Chairman of Qi Group, mainly engaged in real estate, chemical industry, shipping and other businesses - Mr. Cao, if you feel that these people are worrying you, we can ask him to leave..."
The executive lounge of a five-star hotel usually only accepts hotel guests and friends and clients invited by the hotel guests, so the person at the bar knows exactly who they are.
Cao Mo just smiled and didn't ask the staff to stand up for them. He just showed the note to Yang Xu.
It suddenly occurred to Yang Xu that Cao Mo, as the major shareholder of the controlling parent company, could have the same status as ordinary guests in the Hehua International Hotel?
He is the real local snake in the hotel.
In order to take good care of Cao Mo at the hotel, the male staff member on duty on the executive floor today is probably not an ordinary waiter, right?
He had been here several times before and the executive lounge was always staffed by female waitresses. He was also surprised that there was a male staff member instead.
"What's going on?" Cao Mo saw that Yang Xu had read the note, folded it up, and pressed it under the teapot, asking him what grudges he had with Qi Tongwei and the others.
"It's not that complicated?" Yang Xu lowered his voice bitterly, "I have been mainly engaged in game development and operation in the past few years. I have developed a new game in the past two years and the operation has been relatively successful. I want to attract an investment to bring it to the game.
As the company expanded, I contacted Qi Tongwei after being introduced by a friend. The capital injection conditions proposed by Qi Tongwei were relatively harsh, and when the negotiation was not successful, he poached several key personnel responsible for development and operation of the company and established a new game company...
…I have encountered many setbacks in starting my own business over the years, but it’s nothing and I didn’t even mention it to my family.”
Although Yang Xu wanted to sound calm and calm, how could the inner resentment revealed in his sullen voice be so small?
Xiao Jun and Lu Junbo looked at each other. Looking at this scene, Qi Tongwei, the grandson, not only poached Yang Xu's core team, but also stole his love and took his girlfriend away!
"Ah!" Cheng Xi exclaimed in surprise, "The General is So Fierce. Is this a web game developed by you?! I saw promotional materials for this game in your QQ space before, and I thought you had nothing to do.
Gu Huan is playing online games, and I never thought that this game was developed by you! Cao Mo also complained about why the game would not be developed later, which made me drag Cao Mo to play for more than half a year. Both of them reached the max level, but later...
There’s nothing new to enjoy!”
Seeing that Yang Xu and others did not just walk away when they were being ridiculed, but instead came close to them like a bunch of flies and whispered, looking at them and Li Yao's face from time to time, Qi Tongwei felt unhappy.
.
When he heard Cheng Xi shouting, he couldn't hold it back and looked over with a frown: "Where did you come from? Look where you are. You are so surprised. Do you have any tutoring?"
Seeing Qi Tongwei speaking rudely again, the staff stepped forward to stop him:
"I'm sorry, please don't harass Mr. Cao and his friends; otherwise, I have to ask you to leave first..."
"What?" Qi Tongwei didn't expect to be threatened with expulsion. He immediately got angry. He stood up and pointed at the nose of the staff and scolded him, "What are you talking about? I am a VIP guest of Hehua. They have no quality at all. What are you talking about?"
The loud noise alarmed us, are you blind, saying that I am harassing them, and you want to drive us away? What is your name, and do you know the relationship between your vice president and me?"
Qi Tongwei sat down angrily, picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Zhao Bing, are you still in Hehua today? Okay, it's good that you are here. What kind of friendship do I have with you? What our Tianqi Group has brought to Hehua in a year
How much business does Hua have? Do you know how the people in your housekeeping department treat me? I'm on the executive floor, so come over and ask your staff!"
Cao Mo glanced here and waved his hand, signaling the staff not to cause any conflict with Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei was furious, but he couldn't stop it easily. He also didn't bother the staff. After all, he wanted to wait for the staff to deal with it later. At this time, he still pointed the finger at Yang Xu:
"Yang Xu, I should make it very clear to you. Your broken company will collapse two years early and two years later. Your old man will retire from the second line this year. Otherwise, he will help you raise some government cultural funds every year.
, you can’t even pay the wages of the twenty or thirty people under you. You still want Li Yao to follow you again, what kind of life can you give her? What future can Zhang Jun, Gu Xiaoping and the others have by following you? In Chonghai
When can I get a house?"
"..." Cao Mo couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. He picked up the teapot and poured tea for Yang Xu, Xiao Jun, and Lu Junbo. He whispered, "Let him have it!"
After a while, a young man in his thirties or fives stepped out of the elevator.
"Mr. Zhao, we are here," Qi Tongwei saw the person coming and waved and shouted, "ask your staff how they treat VIP guests, or how do you think our Tianqi earns millions of dollars a year in catering and accommodation?
Hehua is not surprised at all?"
"What's going on, Manager Zhang?" The visitor strode over with a cell phone in his hand and asked the bar staff in a low voice, "Don't call me to explain. Come over and apologize to Mr. Qi."
!”
When they saw Cao Mo and the others sitting in the inner corner, the visitor was startled, but they obviously didn't recognize who Cao Mo was - even if Chen Fan had said hello, Hehua's management knew that Cao Mo was staying at Hehua
, but only the staff at the front desk and the administrative floor had met with Cao Mo. They came just out of professional habit and smiled apologetically at Cao Mo, indicating that the small dispute here had troubled them.
"It was Mr. Cao who offended Mr. Cao and his friends with his rude words first!" Manager Zhang said unceremoniously.
"Mr. Zhao, look at the attitude of your staff, what is this attitude?" Qi Tongwei saw that the staff was still like a cooked duck at this time, his mouth was not soft, and his nose was really crooked with anger.
"Mr. Cao?" The visitor was startled, turned back and looked at Cao Mo intently, slapped him on the forehead with a loud "pop", took three steps at a time, and ran over like a leap, "Cao Mo."
Sir, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you just now - was Qi Tongwei disturbing you just now? Why don't I ask them to move to another place..."
"It's nothing. Maybe it was because we were talking about investment, and the voice was a little louder, which made them impatient, so they quarreled for a few words; they didn't know who I was, so don't be surprised if you don't! Xiao
Don't make a fuss about trivial matters, and don't chase people away easily, making me seem unreasonable! Just let them sit there - Manager Zhang also cared about us just now and was very serious and responsible in his work.
Don't blame him..." Cao Mo told "Mr. Zhao" in the hotel to stop meddling and go straight to his work. He also apologized to Qi Tongwei very "generously", "I'm sorry, maybe it was our loud voice just now.
I made a sound to disturb you - I will ask the hotel to give you a free bill for your consumption on the executive floor today. Be careful and please don't refuse..."
Speaking of Manager Zhang's favoritism, Qi Tongwei couldn't control his emotions and became more and more angry. Then Zhao Bing, the vice president of Hehua International Hotel, showed his attitude in front of the group of people, which was like a basin of cold water that made him wake up: Yang
Is this grandson Xu really relying on a well-established backer?
However, Qi Tongwei will not feel guilty about this.
There are a total of seven listed companies in Chonghai, and it is said that there are no more than 20 super-rich people with assets over one billion. His Qi family is one of the top ten in Chonghai, even if it is not ranked among the top three.
The people Yang Xu found are obviously not from Chonghai. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. No matter how big the opponent's background is, how many outsiders will Qi Tongwei need to avoid in Chonghai's territory?
Qi Tongwei didn't say anything anymore, but he sat down carelessly and held Li Yao in his arms demonstratively, just to see what Yang Xu and these young people from other places could do in front of him.
"We have nothing to do in Africa, and we also like to play games. The Internet speed is not good, so I specially called a special line to the office - the games you developed are of good quality and the early playability is also very good. I read the comments on various game forums
The reputation is good, and if it continues to operate, it should have very good results. Later, when I saw that the operation suddenly became weak and the maintenance could not keep up, I guessed that something was wrong with the company. I thought it was a pity, but I didn't expect it.
You developed this game!" Qi Tongwei and the others refused to leave, and Cao Mo had no psychological barriers at all and continued to talk to Yang Xu about the game, "What conditions did Lutian give you in the first place, and you refused him to invest in it?"
"..." Yang Xu turned to look at Qi Tongwei and his ex-girlfriend Li Yao, then turned to Cao Mo and said, "I started out doing software development, but soon switched to making games. It has been seven or eight years. I didn't touch it at first.
In every aspect, it was all about small things, applying for some subsidies from the city, and doing some other business, all of which were subsidized into the game company - but my dad was very disgusted that I was not doing my job properly, and didn't think that making games was a serious company, so I didn't
I am not willing to talk about game companies at home or in front of other relatives. But in the past two years, I have become familiar with things in the industry and made some achievements. Last year, I wanted to raise 10 million to expand the company.
When Tian contacted, Lutian proposed to invest 10 million and take out 70% of the equity. Not to mention the previous accumulation, I invested tens of millions myself to develop the general. How could I possibly agree to this condition? The negotiation fell apart.
Later, Lutian used 20 million to register a game company, poached seven or eight key employees of my company, and even directly took the general's code and reskinned it to make the same game. I was in chaos there.
, two subsequent copies have been completed, but the game was frequently attacked by hackers, and the copies did not dare to be moved. It lasted three months and I could not catch my breath!"
"What was the initial condition you gave him?" Cao Mo asked.
"I initially wanted Green Sky to invest 10 million in the company and take 30% of the shares," Yang Xu said.
"The valuation is only over 30 million yuan - actually low. This is simple. I asked Cheng Xi to directly invest 30 million yuan into your company and take 30% - with this amount of funds, you should be able to quickly
Will the company be put in order?" Cao Mo asked, "As for Lu Tian's stealing of game codes, if you have evidence, just call the police and let the police intervene..."
