Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 441 He actually knew the boss of Yute Times
Of course, the person who followed Shen Miaoyun in was Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan was very surprised when he came in. He didn't expect there were so many people in the private room, including a few unfamiliar faces.

Wang Zhicheng stood up and greeted Hu Jiangshan enthusiastically.

Xu Weilun and Chen Mingrui looked at each other, feeling uncomfortable sitting still, and stood up to greet Hu Jiangshan.

Wang Zhicheng introduced these two bigwigs to Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan shook hands with them one by one and was very polite.

Hu Jiangshan seemed calm and composed, which surprised Xu and Chen. This young man was very different from the image in the legend.

Not only does he not look like a prodigal son, he even gives people the feeling of being well-educated and well-mannered, a young elite.

At least they had a good first impression of Hu Jiangshan.

Xiao Ming originally wanted to introduce Hu Jiangshan to everyone, but all the lines were taken away by Wang Zhicheng, who even said more details than he intended.

Wang Zhicheng really does attach great importance to Hu Jiangshan and he is not pretending.

But why?
Why?

Does Wang Zhicheng need Hu Jiangshan's help?

That shouldn’t be the case. As a big shot in the investment circle, what kind of people can’t Wang Zhicheng find?
Although Hu Jiangshan is a scion of a wealthy family in Hong Kong, the Hu family is not a top-tier wealthy family. There are many people who are better off than Hu Jiangshan, so there is no need to look for him!
This was just Xiao Ming's momentary thought. In fact, none of this was important. What was important was that Wang Zhicheng valued Hu Jiangshan, so he, Xiao Ming, would also benefit from it.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan was already sitting on the sofa.

This private room is quite large. In addition to the dining table, there is also a set of circular sofa booths with a round coffee table in the middle, which can easily accommodate ten people to drink tea together.

Hu Jiangshan sat down and found himself the center of attention, with almost everyone looking at him.

In addition to Xu Weilun and Chen Mingrui, the little girl Xu Jiajia also kept her eyes on Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan coughed lightly and turned his head to look at the situation in the theater: "The view from this private room is really good, Brother Ming, you are really good at choosing places."

Xiao Ming smiled and said a few humble words, then quickly opened the wine for everyone and served a variety of food, such as fruits, snacks, and desserts. Among them were many local specialties of Tyrande, which were very rich and very appropriate for the occasion.

At this time, the cultural performance has begun.

Tyrande's historical and cultural performances are unique on Blue Star, and the main theme is two words - gorgeous.

This word can be used to describe both the scenery and the costumes worn by the actors.

In addition, these actors are almost all mixed-race and excellent foreign actors, and their looks and figures are one in a million, so the performances are also very interesting.

As for the content of the performance, it is nothing more than the history and culture of Siamese civilization, various tragic legends, love stories and the like.

Everyone can chat while watching the performance, so there is no need to worry about running out of topics or the show becoming a dull occasion.

Just now, Wang Zhicheng has briefly introduced the backgrounds of Xu Weilun and Chen Mingrui, and the topic also revolved around their careers in Southeast Asia.

At this time, Wang Chengcheng changed the topic and said to Hu Jiangshan: "Boss Hu, I heard that Hezhong Group has a cooperative relationship with Yute Times?"

When these words came out, before others could react, Xu Weilun's eyes widened.

As mentioned earlier, Xu Weilun acquired a local automobile manufacturer in Thailand, which also produces passenger cars.

In this day and age, any company that makes passenger cars will be thinking about how to transform.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that cars will definitely shift to electric vehicles in the future. This is the most obvious trend in the future.

Ningte Times is the largest power battery manufacturer in China, and now also the largest in the entire Blue Star.

Of course, at this time, Ningte Times had not yet formed a dominant position. There were also other international power battery brands such as LG Chem and Xiasong, but Ningte Times had indeed formed a cost advantage, and its technology also showed a tendency to surpass foreign competitors.

Xu Weilun certainly also has plans for electrification transformation, and Ningte Times is a supplier that needs to develop.

It is no secret that Hezhong Group is the Hu family's property.

Hezhong Group is indeed a large enterprise in Hong Kong Island, but it is not very noticeable in China. It would be surprising if it could establish a cooperative relationship with Ningte Times.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan just laughed: "Boss Wang, you are really well-informed. Hezhong does have a cooperative relationship with Ningte."

Wang Zhicheng's eyes lit up: "Have you invested in the shares?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

It is not surprising that Wang Zhicheng cares so much about Ningte Times. This is a unicorn company. As a big shot in the investment circle, if he does not want to invest in Ningte Times, it means that his vision is not high and his pattern is not big.

However, Wang Zhicheng’s purpose should not be so simple. After all, Ningte Times has already raised several rounds of financing, and this round of IPO should be over.

In other words, no matter how strong and well-funded Wang Zhicheng's investment company Oriental Century is, it will no longer be able to invest in Ningte Times.

Wang Zhicheng said: "Mr. Hu, this is what happened. Ningte Times is now establishing a subsidiary."

Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "Subsidiary?"

"Yes, Mr. Hu, Ningte Times did a good job of keeping it secret. I just got the news."

"Oh, that's normal. Ningte Times is a large company. Establishing a subsidiary should be convenient for developing new markets."

Wang Zhicheng gave Hu Jiangshan a thumbs up and said, "Boss Hu, you are right. Ningte Times has set up a subsidiary to facilitate the development of overseas markets."

Hu Jiangshan took a sip of tea and asked, "Mr. Wang, are you interested in Ningte Times' subsidiary?"

"Of course, of course I'm interested, so I want to use Mr. Hu's connection to get in touch with Ningte Times."

At this point, everyone suddenly realized that Wang Zhicheng wanted to invest in Ningte Times' subsidiary.

This is normal. Ningte Times is an excellent unicorn company. It will only make profits in the future. Everyone is rushing to invest. Some large companies and investment banks have real money, but cannot invest. They can't even get a number.

If Ningte Times sets up a subsidiary, it may introduce new investment, and once the news spreads, it will definitely be snapped up.

Therefore, the news of Ningte Times establishing a subsidiary has been kept confidential and few people know about it.

Wang Zhicheng has many connections, is good at socializing, and is well-informed, so he was able to get the news that Ningte Times was going to establish a subsidiary first.

Wang Zhicheng couldn't let go of this opportunity, but at the same time he couldn't go out and say anything, so he had to find a reliable way to connect this matter. This time when he met Hu Jiangshan, he came up with the idea of ​​using the Hu family's connections.

Wang Chengcheng is very smart. Asking the Hu family to act as a middleman may not work, but the possibility of success is at least greater than other methods, so it is worth a try.

Xu Weilun and Chen Mingrui looked at each other, and neither of them was optimistic about the Hu family's ability to help, especially since Wang Zhicheng was looking for Hu Jiangshan, who was just a junior of the Hu family. How much influence could he have in the Hu family? It shouldn't be too great.

More importantly, Hu Jiangshan's reputation is indeed bad, and the meeting said that the Hu family has given up on training Hu Jiangshan.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan is in very good shape now, but it is not enough to show that he has a say in the Hu family.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan asked, "Mr. Wang, do you want to contact Ningte Times and discuss the investment in a subsidiary with them?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. Can Mr. Hu come forward to help introduce him?"

Having said that, Wang Zhicheng looked at Hu Jiangshan with a slightly nervous expression.

Xiao Ming was even more nervous than Wang Zhicheng. If Hu Jiangshan refused, or said he couldn't handle it, Wang Zhicheng would definitely be in a bad mood, and then Xiao Ming's investment would be in jeopardy.

Hu Jiangshan thought about it and said, "Of course, I can, but Mr. Wang, I can't guarantee that this will work."

Wang Zhicheng smiled happily: "I understand, I understand, Mr. Hu, as long as you show up and act as a middleman, I will take care of the rest myself."

It is certainly possible that Wang Zhicheng did not know the top executives of Ningte Times, but if he tried to contact them himself, he would be rejected immediately and would not be successful. However, if there was a reliable middleman to introduce them, the effect would definitely be different.

Of course, even if this is the case, this investment project may not necessarily succeed, and the possibility of success is even small, but Wang Zhicheng still has to try his best. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy, and if it fails, there will be no regrets.

Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Jiangshan's answer was just right.

No matter whether it can be done or not, just agree to it first. The most important thing is the atmosphere. The atmosphere is the most important.

Who knew that Wang Zhicheng was already taking it seriously and becoming impatient.

"Mr. Hu, why don't we set a time? When will you return home? I'll host you and we can chat together."

Hu Jiangshan thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Wang, please don't worry. I'll contact them first to see when they are available."

Wang Zhicheng's eyes lit up: "Yes! This is the right thing to do! Let's first confirm whether Ningte Times has time."

Normally, Hu Jiangshan would first contact his father Hu Wenxin, and then Hu Wenxin would handle the matter, but judging from Hu Jiangshan's intention, it seemed that he wanted to contact Ningte Times directly.

Will this work?

Wang Zhicheng had the same idea, but he couldn't care less about it now and decided to let Hu Jiangshan try it first.

Hu Jiangshan took out his cell phone and searched for the number.

Wang Zhicheng couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Hu, who do you want to contact? Mr. Gao?"

Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "Mr. Gao? Who is he?"

Wang Zhicheng was disappointed when he heard this, but he still replied, "It's Gao Jun, a vice president of Ningte Times, in charge of finance."

"Oh, I don't know him. I'll contact Mr. Zeng directly."

"...Zeng, Mr. Zeng?"

Wang Zhicheng was stunned, and Xu and Chen's expressions also froze.

Mr. Zeng, could it be that Hu Jiangshan is talking about Zeng Luqun?
Zeng Luqun is the chairman of Ningte Times and the boss, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see him.

Hu Jiangshan actually had Zeng Luqun's phone number? How is that possible!
Unless you contact Zeng Luqun's assistant, his private mobile phone number will be kept strictly confidential.

Hu Jiangshan was probably just pretending, and even Xiao Ming thought so.

Xiao Ming is most familiar with Hu Jiangshan, but also has the deepest prejudice against him. The impression Hu Jiangshan left on people in the past is still indelible in his mind.

Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain...

At this time, Hu Jiangshan said, "Ah, I found it."

Having said that, Hu Jiangshan dialed the number decisively.

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Is Hu Jiangshan serious? Or is he just pretending? Is he putting on a full show?
That's not right. There's no need for Hu Jiangshan to go through so much trouble.

What was even more unexpected was that the call was actually connected.

Hu Jiangshan actually started chatting with the other party: "Hello, Mr. Zeng, it's me, Xiao Hu, are you free to talk now?"

Wang Zhicheng widened his eyes, both surprised and happy.

Hu Jiangshan was really talking to Zeng Luqun on the phone. He could vaguely hear a low voice on the other end of the phone, probably Zeng Luqun's voice.

Hu Jiangshan really wasn’t bragging!
Hu Jiangshan started communicating with Zeng Luqun in public.

"Mr. Zeng, this is what's going on. Do you have time recently? I would like to treat you to a meal."

"Ah, Mr. Zeng, you're too polite. It's nothing serious. I just wanted to communicate. It's been such a long time, and I want to know what's going on."

"Okay, I'm still in Tyrande now. I'll stay there for two weeks at most. I'll contact you when I return."

"By the way, Mr. Zeng, I will also bring a friend, Mr. Wang from Oriental Century, who really wants to meet you."

As soon as Hu Jiangshan said this, Wang Zhicheng's eyes almost popped out, and it was obvious that he was extremely nervous.

I don’t know if Zeng Luqun will agree.

If Zeng Luqun really agreed, then the matter would be almost half done.

It was normal for him to refuse. Zeng Luqun was a very low-key person. He rarely accepted media interviews and also rarely met with people in the investment circle in person. So Wang Zhicheng was very nervous at this time, worried about gains and losses.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Okay, no problem. I'll contact you when I get back."

Hu Jiangshan spoke a few more words to Zeng Luqun, said goodbye politely, and then hung up the phone.

The entire call may have lasted less than three minutes, but everyone present felt that it was very long and contained a lot of information.

Seeing Hu Jiangshan put his phone on the table, Wang Zhicheng couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Hu, how is it? What did Mr. Zeng say?"

"He said it was all right."

"……what?"

Wang Zhicheng's eyes widened again, with a look of disbelief.

"Yes, does that mean I can talk to him?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "I told Zeng Dongming about this. He has also heard of you, Mr. Wang, and said that there would be no problem for us to sit down and chat together."

Wang Zhicheng smiled happily, said "OK" several times, picked up the wine glass and stood up.

Of course the others also stood up, clinked their glasses together, and took a big sip.

It can be seen that Wang Zhicheng was very excited and even a little incoherent with joy.

Xu Weilun and Chen Mingrui both understood Wang Zhicheng and knew why he was so happy.

After Wang Zhicheng and several partners founded Oriental Century Investment Company, they did invest in many start-ups, some of which were successfully listed and made a lot of money.

Oriental Century Investment Company has many brilliant achievements, but it lacks a top-level investment case, that is, a successful investment in a unicorn company.

For an investment company, such performance is very important and necessary, otherwise it will not be able to gain much recognition from the investment circle.

If we can establish a cooperative relationship with Yute Times this time, it is very likely that we can make up for this shortcoming.
