The lights inside the Wuyue Club are dim. In the lobby on the first floor, there are several lawyers in suits and ties sitting there chatting. Waiters wearing black vests and white shirts shuttle among the crowd. On both sides are booths one by one. There are booths sitting in the booths.
They are some new businessmen who have sprung up in Xiangjiang, or businessmen who come here to look for business cooperation.
I don’t know since when, Xiangjiang lawyers like to come here, especially some new lawyers. Even if they are short of money, they still have to find a way to get a membership card of Wuyuehui.
And all this is because the Wuyuehui's reputation is getting bigger and bigger in Xiangjiang.
Just like people in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle like to sit in the cafe of the Peninsula Hotel, hoping to meet Shao Yifu, and then get his appreciation, and then kill everyone in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle.
The current Wuyue Society also has this meaning.
Chu Huan, Guo Desheng, Zheng Yutong and others basically regard this place as their third place to talk things at home besides the company in Xiangjiang.
Therefore, many new businessmen in Hong Kong are willing to come here to try their luck and see if they can find opportunities to cooperate with each other.
The same goes for lawyers. Doing business in Xiangjiang is inseparable from lawyers, but the top resources in Xiangjiang are basically in the hands of those lawyers. New lawyers who want to find suitable resources need to try their luck.
.
To a certain extent, it is not wrong to regard the lawyers here as salesmen, but what is different from salesmen is that they only sell themselves.
In a booth in the lobby on the first floor, two young people were sitting. Naturally, they were not Chu Huan and Li Jiacheng. Chu Huan was a young man, but Li Jiacheng was no longer.
Li Jiacheng is 49 years old this year and is about to turn 50. No matter how you look at it, he does not look like a young man.
These two young men are both about thirty years old. One is wearing a top-notch Italian handmade suit and has a proud expression. At a glance, you can tell that this is the kind of rich second generation who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, while the other is not so good.
, wearing this year's latest Armani suit, with a slight frown between his eyebrows, giving people a feeling of being heavy-minded.
These two people are not very famous in Xiangjiang. The rich second generation is called Zhong Zhengwen. He is the second eldest son of the Zhong brothers in Xiangjiang. The family can be regarded as a first-class family in Xiangjiang. Their business covers real estate and construction.
Stocks, tourism and other industries.
They are an older generation family in Xiangjiang, but they behave in a slightly low-key manner.
As for that Armani young man, he can only be regarded as a little transparent in the business community of Xiangjiang now, but in two years, this person will be known to everyone in Xiangjiang.
Chen Songqing, who single-handedly created the largest commercial enterprise in Hong Kong's commercial history.
Chen Songqing came to Xiangjiang in 1972. At that time, Chen Songqing was already in poverty. According to his memoirs, in his early years, Chen Songqing studied civil engineering at the University of England and worked in Singapore and Malaysia in the 1960s.
He ran a small civil engineering business but later went bankrupt.
This period of history is no longer available for research.
Then Chen Songqing came to Xiangjiang.
By chance, he joined the Chung Brothers' company as a civil engineering manager. Kailian Hotel and Yixin Group were both properties of the Chung Brothers.
After working for the Zhong Brothers for a period of time, Chen Songqing became friends with Zhong Zhengwen from the superior-subordinate relationship, and founded his own company with the support of the Zhong Brothers. However, at this time, Chen Songqing founded
It's not Jianing, but a company called Delisheng.
The largest project of this company was the purchase of a piece of land at the Sanatorium and Hospital in 1975 for HKD 2.5 million. The next year, Chen Songqing bought it to someone from the Hong Kong government for HKD 6.2 million.
department.
This also earned Chen Songqing his first pot of gold.
At this time, Chen Songqing was preparing for a big fight, and as the Zhong brothers were Chen Songqing's biggest backers, he naturally had to invite Zhong Zhengwen out often.
"Ah Qing, not everyone can come here. Now that you have started your own company, I will guarantee you some time. You can also come here to become a member. Maybe you can meet me here in the future.
Where are the people you have the opportunity to cooperate with?"
Zhong Zhengwen smiled reservedly at this time.
Chen Songqing naturally knew about the Wuyue Society. To be honest, coming here had always been something he had wanted to do. There were always different opinions on why Chen Songqing and Zhong Zhengwen got in touch.
The actual situation is that after Chen Songqing came to Xiangjiang, he took refuge with a friend of his in Xiangjiang, and this friend introduced Chen Songqing to the Jade Club, which was second only to the Xiangjiang Club in Hong Kong at that time, as a waiter.
It was also at the Jade Club that Chen Songqing met Zhong Zhengwen, who often went there to spend money. After several contacts, Zhong Zhengwen got to know Chen Songqing, a waiter, and thought he was a talent, so he introduced Chen Songqing to him.
Songqing brought it to his company.
But as soon as he entered the company, Chen Songqing was appointed as the manager of the company's civil engineering department. It must be said that Mr. Zhong is also a "talent".
Chen Songqing poured a glass of red wine for Zhong Zhengwen and said with a smile, "Second Young Master, no matter how many people I know in Xiangjiang, Second Young Master will always be my number one noble person!"
Zhong Zhengwen was overjoyed when he heard this. He laughed unabashedly and said, "This is natural. I brought you Chen Songqing out. Who in the whole of Xiangjiang doesn't know this?"
Chen Songqing listened absently to Zhong Zhengwen's words, but his eyes glanced towards the hall from time to time.
It is true that Zhong Zhengwen has given him a lot of support, but if he can see the person he wants to see here today, then Zhong Zhengwen will not be his number one noble person.
Who in the whole of Xiangjiang doesn't know that Chu Huan likes to invite friends here to talk things over.
In the past, I could rely on Zhong Zhengwen at Jade Club as a waiter. Now that I am no longer a waiter, it is naturally easier to get to know Chu Huan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chen Songqing felt that the hard work paid off. After sitting here for a while, he saw Chu Huan in casual clothes walking slowly into the Wuyue Club. Next to Chu Huan,
He was followed by a woman wearing a yellow ol' suit.
Chen Songqing had read all the reports about Chu Huan, so he naturally recognized that the woman following Chu Huan was Wu Shuhan, one of Chu Huan's two full-time secretaries.
"Why is this Wu Shuhan looking so weird today?" Chen Songqing felt a little suspicious.
"Aqing, what's wrong?"
Just when Chen Songqing was thinking about Chu Huan, Zhong Zhengwen's voice came to his ears. Zhong Zhengwen was leaning against the hall, so he didn't see Chu Huan's arrival.
"Ah?" Chen Songqing came to his senses, then said with a smile, "It's okay, I was just thinking about the new company."
Delisheng Company was co-founded by Chen Songqing and Zhong Hongsheng, another member of the Zhong brothers. At that time, this matter involved an internal struggle within the Zhong family. Now Chen Song is liquidating it and Zhong Zhengwen is determined to go out together. Naturally, it is
It is impossible to do anything using the name of Delisheng Company anymore.
So during this period, Chen Songqing has been thinking about re-establishing a company.
Zhong Zhengwen didn't think much about it. Instead, he smiled and said, "This is what it should be. I told you before that that person can't be trusted. You had to refuse to listen. You must regret it now!"
Chen Songqing complimented absentmindedly, "Yes, you should have listened to the Second Young Master from the beginning!"
"It's not too late, do it well, I'm very optimistic about your ability!" Zhong Zhengwen liked to hear Chen Songqing's compliments to him.
In Zhong Zhengwen's view, Chen Songqing is a very capable person. When he brought Chen Songqing into the company and directly appointed him as the manager of the civil engineering department, many people criticized him. Many people even said at home that he was nepotism.
.
As a result, the first project that Chen Songqing was responsible for brought 2 million yuan in revenue to the company, which made Zhong Zhengwen very popular among the family.
Since Chen Songqing is a capable person, then if he praises himself, he will naturally be a capable person as well.
The more the two chatted, the happier they became, but Chen Songqing was always thinking about Chu Huan, so he always had some inexpressive words to deal with Zhong Zhengwen.
"Aqing, what's wrong with you? What are you talking about? Why don't I understand what you mean?"
Zhong Zhengwen looked at Chen Songqing slightly dissatisfied.
Chen Songqing stood up, stooped slightly, and said with some embarrassment, "Second Young Master, I have an urgent need to urinate!"
"Go to the toilet when you need to pee!" Zhong Zhengwen teased, "Why do you feel so stupid today?"
Chen Songqing got off the donkey along the slope, "Then let me say goodbye first."
As he spoke, Chen Songqing walked out of his private room and went straight to the second floor. However, as soon as he reached the stairs, he was stopped by the waiter guarding the stairs.
"I'm sorry, sir, there are guests in the private rooms on the second floor."
The waiters at the Wuyue Club are not looking down upon others, it is purely because they have good memories and know all the member waiters at the Wuyue Club. In his memory, there is no such person as Chen Songqing.
"I know!" Chen Songqing said with an arrogant expression without changing his expression, "I am a friend of Young Master Huan, and Young Master Huan asked me to come here today."
The waiter didn't think much about it. Hearing that Chen Songqing was Chu Huan's friend, he quickly stepped aside and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huan is with me now. You can go upstairs and a waiter will take you there!"
Chen Songqing nodded slightly, took out 100 Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and handed it to the waiter, and went straight up without saying anything.
Entering the second floor, there is indeed a waiter guarding the place.
"Hello sir, are you a guest in that private room?"
Out of trust in the waiter on the first floor, the waiter on the second floor did not know Chen Songqing, but he believed that he should be a guest in a private room on the second floor.
Chen Songqing said calmly, "Bao 1, Mr. Huan's friend!"
"It turns out you are a friend of Mr. Huan, I will take you there!" the waiter immediately said attentively.
Chen Songqing waved his hand and said, "No, I can just go there by myself. You can go about your own business!"
After saying that, he glanced at the house numbers of the private rooms in the corridor, and followed Package 1!
Soon he came to the private room where Chu Huan was. The door to the private room was closed. Chen Songqing stood there with some hesitation. He just thought about coming up, but he didn't think about how to contact Chu Huan after coming up.
It's definitely not possible to go in like this now. Who knows who Chu Huan is talking to in the private room. If the conversation is about something important, then he went in hastily like this, which really left an impression on Chu Huan.
But it’s not a good impression?
Just when Chen Songqing was hesitating, the private room door opened. Chen Songqing saw Chu Huan's secretary Wu Shuhan walking out of the private room. However, as the door opened, Bao 2's door was also opened.
Chen Songqing recognized it as the bodyguard who had followed Chu Huan to the Wuyue Club.
Qin Peng first glanced at Wu Shuhan, and then noticed Chen Songqing.
Seeing that Qin Peng's attention was on him, Chen Songqing hurriedly asked, "Can I ask where the bathroom is?"
Qin Peng pointed in another direction, and Chen Songqing turned around and left helplessly.
In the private room, Chu Huan didn't know what was going on outside. In fact, Chu Huan was still a little surprised and admired at this time. What surprised and admired was the same thing, that is, Li Jiacheng was looking for him.
It turned out that Li Jiacheng actually wanted to invite him to join Changshi and become a shareholder of Changshi.
To be honest, when Chu Huan came to see Li Jiacheng today, he really didn't expect that Li Jiacheng would actually make an appointment with him for this matter.
Before that, the two sides had been fighting openly and secretly. To be honest, if I were in Lijiacheng and had such an experience, I would definitely find a small book, write down my name, curse eight hundred times a day, and still want to cooperate?
That is impossible.
"Li Sheng, I have heard about the recent development of Changshi. Even without my investment, I think Changshi will develop rapidly under the leadership of Li Sheng. Why bother now?"
Chu Huan did not agree to Li Jiacheng's invitation immediately.
At this time, Li Jiacheng said with a smile, "Director Chu, you and I had many conflicts in business before. To be honest, I was still dissatisfied at that time. But as things passed, I, as an outsider,
When I looked at these things again, I found that Director Chu’s ability was really admirable, and at the same time I was deeply impressed by Director Chu’s magnanimity. If Director Chu hadn’t bought the shares of Hefu Group in the hands of our Changshi, perhaps, maybe
At that time, we really couldn't get over that hurdle.
Now I sincerely invite Director Chu to join our Changshi and become our shareholder and director.
Although the current development of Changshi is still a bit weak, as you just said, Chairman Chu, the future development of Changshi will still be very good."
When Li Jiacheng came to see Chu Huan today, it could be said that he kept his attitude very low.
First, explain your purpose of coming, and then sincerely apologize to Chu Huan. There is only one purpose, to invite Chu Huan to join Changshi and become a shareholder of Changshi.
Chu Huan was sitting there, with 10,000 grass-mud horses galloping past his head. Was it to save Cheung Kong that he purchased the shares of Cheung Shi He Fu?
Definitely not. It was just because Hop Fu had shares in Land and Wharf in its name to prepare for the future, and it was the best time for Cheung Kong to sell the shares.
Now in Li Jiacheng's words, it has become the help to help Changshi survive the crisis?
This is a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, Chu Huan's psychological quality passed the test and he just smiled calmly and said, "Li Sheng is too polite. I am also very optimistic about Li Sheng's ability, but I still need to consider becoming a shareholder of Changshi.
It’s not that I’m not optimistic about Changshi’s development, it’s just out of consideration for the company’s development!”
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Li Jiacheng had already lowered his attitude so low that Chu Huan would definitely not be able to slap him in the face directly.
If it was an invitation from another company, Chu Huan might have agreed on the spot, but when it was Li Jiacheng, Chu Huan had to think about it carefully.
This master's reputation in later generations was too great.
When I first got to know this person, he was highly praised in China. For a while, Li Jiacheng was even the idol of domestic businessmen.
There have also been cases of domestic businessmen organizing groups to visit Lijiacheng in Xiangjiang.
But as time goes by, the situation in my hometown is that any person or thing that is a myth is meant to be shattered by others.
The same goes for the myth of Li Jiacheng. As he began to withdraw investments in his hometown on a large scale, this person's reputation in his hometown completely changed.
How many people praised him at first, but later ten times as many people criticized him.
But no matter whether it is praise or criticism, it can't change this person's wealth!
Although in the era when Chu Huan was reborn, countless businessmen in the country had surpassed Li Jiacheng in terms of paper wealth, in fact, those people's wealth was really only paper wealth.
A small fluctuation in the stock market may cause their wealth to shrink by tens of billions; a change in policy may turn the richest man into the first loser.
But Li Jiacheng will never face such a dilemma. The wealth lost on paper will always be only the most insignificant part of him.
At that time, Li Jiacheng, like many Chinese, was best at hiding wealth!
Whether it is to support or to step on.
Chu Huan's view of this person is actually the same from beginning to end. He is the purest businessman. You don't need to talk about family and country feelings with him. Only interests are eternal.
So whether or not to invest in Changshi, Chu Huan really needs to think carefully about this matter.
Li Jiacheng didn't think that Chu Huan would give him an answer today. He didn't think that Chu Huan would think so much. He just thought that the relationship between the two has always been a competitive relationship, although he has been losing.
But the relationship has not changed.
To put it off, Chu Huan really doesn't necessarily care about Changshi's shares.
Chu Huan wouldn't give a reply today, and Li Jiacheng didn't expect Chu Huan to give a reply today, so the two casually chatted for a while before getting up and preparing to separate.
The two of them really had nothing to talk about.
By this time Wu Shuhan had already gone back to the bathroom.
Following Chu Huan, Wu Shuhan could feel that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Not only how to face Chu Huan for a while, but also how to face my eldest sister, uncle and the others tomorrow if I really don't go back tonight.
Thinking of her elder sister Wu Shuqing's voice that suddenly rose several tunes tonight when she called her to tell her that she wouldn't be back tonight, Wu Shuhan felt like her eardrums had been pierced.
In fact, Wu Shuhan also followed Chu Huan to Japan and North America before, and he even returned to his hometown with Chu Huan some time ago, but those were all within the scope of Wu Shuhan's work.
In addition, Chu Huan was always accompanied by his wife or girlfriend, so Wu Shuqing didn't think much about it.
But now, in Xiangjiang, how dare you stay up all night?
Wu Shuqing asked Wu Shuhan where he was going, but Wu Shuhan hesitated for a long time without telling Wu Shuqing.
"The Sword Comes"
"I have a headache. When I see my eldest sister tomorrow, she won't tear me apart, right?"
Wu Shuhan followed Chu Huan, and his thoughts were already in a mess. He was thinking about how he should face his eldest sister tomorrow, his uncle's questioning, and what happened tonight.
Why did you make that phone call by accident?
And what exactly do you think about it?
In fact, Wu Shuhan still can't believe that he would actually think about staying up all night. In fact, Chu Huan has never told himself anything clearly until now.
Just because of that look in my eyes at that time!
What if Chu Huan didn’t have that idea?
No, if your boss has such thoughts, what should you do?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When did you go from rejecting something to the attitude of half-assuming it now?
Chen Songqing is a little distressed now, and very distressed. He just went to the second floor rashly, but at the last moment he lost this opportunity because he didn't know how to make friends with Chu Huan.
After returning to the booth in the lobby on the first floor on the second floor, Chen Songqing's annoyance became even more intense.
Because Zhong Zhengwen is leaving here.
Everything about Wuyue Club is good, the only drawback is that there are no girls here.
No matter how good a club without girls is, it is not as good as a rich man, so when he was almost done drinking, Zhong Zhengwen suggested leaving the place.
It was said to be a proposal, but in fact it had already been decided. It was definitely impossible for Chen Songqing to refuse Zhong Zhengwen.
Therefore, Chen Songqing could only think about looking for opportunities in the future. Anyway, Zhong Zhengwen had promised to be his introducer and become a member of the Wuyue Club.
Chen Songqing believed that as long as he could become a member of the Wuyue Society, he would definitely be able to get to know Chu Huan.
So the two got up and left.
But just as the two got up and left the booth, walked to the lobby, and were about to go out, a girl in red rushed in angrily, and even bumped into Zhong Zhengwen's shoulder.
Zhong Zhengwen was suddenly angry. He originally wanted to get angry, but after seeing the other party's appearance, the anger on his face disappeared and was replaced by a smile.
"It turns out to be Miss Wu. Why are you in such a mood to come here today?"
The person who came was none other than Wu Shuqing from Maxim's Group. The Zhong brothers were much more powerful than Maxim's Group. If it were a year or two ago, Zhong Zhengwen would definitely not be so polite.
But now the situation is different. Everyone knows that Wu Zhande of Maxim's Group contacted Chu Huan for some reason. Chu Huan even lent HKD 5 million to Maxim's Group in his own name.
This is easy to say. The most important thing is that Wu Zhande's niece is now Chu Huan's full-time secretary.
Although Xu Yi and Wu Shuhan are no different from ordinary girls when they are together, in fact, outside, these two are not little people.
They are two powerful women who are well-known in the business world of Xiangjiang. Many CEOs of listed companies have to be polite when they see them.
Although some people secretly say that the reason why the two of them have such status is because of Jiaku, this is just a sour grape.
Zhong Zhengwen didn't want to have any conflicts with Chu Huan, so naturally he wouldn't have any conflicts with Chu Huan's secretary's sister.
Not to mention that the two of them had met a few times before, so they were considered to be in the same circle.
"So it's Mr. Zhong?" Wu Shuqing rushed to the Chinese Bank not long after receiving Wu Shuhan's call, but by that time Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan had already left.
Wu Shuqing didn't know that the two came to the Wuyue Club, they were just looking around to try their luck.
"By the way, Mr. Zhong, have you seen Director Chu here today?" Seeing that Zhong Zhengwen was leaving, Wu Shuqing guessed that Zhong Zhengwen must have been here for a long time, so he asked directly.
But she also knew that she couldn't ask Chu Huan openly if she was here with her sister. In that case, it would be a big deal.
When Zhong Zhengwen was about to say something, Chen Songqing on the side quickly said, "No, we have been here for a long time and we have never seen Director Chu come here!"
Wu Shuqing didn't think much about it, and whispered softly, "Not there? Then where did they go? It can't be true."
After saying that, Wu Shuqing didn't say anything else and left here in a hurry.
Zhong Zhengwen curiously asked Chen Songqing, "I really wanted to hear someone tell me just now, is Director Chu here?"
Chen Songqing smiled and said, "Then you must have heard wrong. Let's go. We'll be late, and we'll be picked out by others."
Zhong Zhengwen raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, "Who dares!"
After saying that, he strode out.
When Chen Songqing left, he specifically looked back. In Chen Songqing's eyes, the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor didn't look like stairs, but more like a ladder to heaven.
Especially when he saw Chu Huan's bodyguard standing at the top of the stairs at this moment.
Chen Songqing left directly without going up to say hello.
When he left the Wuyue Club, Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan walked down the stairs, and Wu Shuhan's cheeks turned redder.
Chu Huan looked at Wu Shuhan with a smile, and then asked Qin Peng, "Who was that person just now?"
Qin Peng said, "I don't know. I went up to the second floor and said I wanted to find the bathroom. Now that I think about it, it shouldn't be that simple."
Chu Huan said to himself, "You are a smart man. Call me to my office tomorrow."
Although he still doesn't know who the other party is, Chu Huan believes that it is very easy for Qin Peng to investigate a person's background in Wuyuehui.
After a group of people got into different cars, Qin Peng asked Chu Huan, "Boss, where are we going now?"
Chu Huan glanced at Wu Shuhan, who was sitting next to him like a quail, and said with a smile, "Go back to the company!"
It's already past nine o'clock in the evening. Return to the company?
Qin Peng started the car without asking.
Wu Shuhan felt a little disappointed.
Chu Huan had a smile on his face. The lounge in the office had always been the place where he took a rest at noon. He had never spent the night there yet!
