Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 269: True Heart for True Heart (First of Five Updates!)

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, we can't release him right now. This incident has such a bad impact, and we've been caught red-handed by students from eighteen universities."

"Mr. Wu, there's nothing we can do. This incident has such a huge impact."

"You should start by thinking of a solution from the victim's side. If the victim is willing to settle the matter privately, the matter will be resolved."

Wu Tao lay on the sofa, thinking about what he had just said on the phone, his face looking rather ugly.

There is really not a single reliable person among these government officials in Handong Province!

Their Starcom Handong branch had only been established for less than two months, and such a big scandal had already occurred. At this moment, Wu Tao really wanted to chop Nick into pieces and feed him to the dogs.

But now, he can only calm down, calm down, and calm down again.

After all, even if Nek was chopped to pieces, he would have to wait until the matter was settled.

Now their group's PHS business is not progressing smoothly, with Huawei in front and ZTE behind, which are besieging and blocking their business.

As one of the top three economically developed provinces in China, Handong Province has an absolutely top-notch consumer market in the country.

Now that Starcom PHS, Huawei PHS and ZTE PHS have entered the Handong market together, how to seize the opportunity is the top priority.

Although their PHS phones have the advantage of being cheap, if they lose their reputation, they will still lose a lot of market share.

After 99, the patriotism of the domestic people was aroused, and many provinces and cities began to exclude American companies and American products. In order to solve this problem, they specially moved the headquarters of Starcom Group from Silicon Valley in the United States to Yanjing City.

But now, at this sensitive time, this bastard Nick has caused such a big scandal.

Fortunately, this incident only spread in Jingzhou City. If it was used by competitors to make a fuss, and once it spread across the country, who knows what would happen.

Just when Wu Tao was worrying about how to calm the situation, Chen Hui called.

Chen Hui asked with concern, "Senior, did your assistant get it done?"

Wu Tao frowned and said, "No, I found a few leaders, but they were of little use."

Chen Hui said, "Senior, I just checked the Toutiao forum and found out that the person who sent your assistant in was the guy named Cheng Yi I talked to you about!"

"The vice president of Momo Group?" Wu Tao was very surprised. He really didn't care what the names of those college students who took action were.

Chen Hui said, "Yes, you can log in to the Toutiao forum and take a look. This forum is also part of the Momo Group. I've been researching the Momo Group's industrial layout over the past two days and found that it's quite impressive."

"Cheng Yi..." Wu Tao frowned and said slowly, "It seems that our Starcom Group has no grudge against him, right?"

Chen Hui said, "It's hard to say. I suspect Momo Group is aware of the relationship between Starcom Group and Wangyuan Communications Group, so they're trying to test the waters. After all, Wangyuan Communications Group has also applied for a license, and a battle with Momo Group is inevitable."

"If you put it that way, it's possible." Wu Tao thought for a moment and said, "But it's not very likely. We and Momo Group haven't had any conflicts of interest yet, so there's no need for him to oppose us right now."

Seeing that Wu Tao wasn't fooled, Chen Hui pressed the issue, "Senior, how are you going to handle this? Everyone on Toutiao is discussing your Starcom Group."

Wu Tao said, "No matter what his motives are, since he touched my people, I will not let him off easily. I have already sent people to talk to the victim. As long as the victim is willing to change his confession, I will charge him with intentional injury."

Hearing Wu Tao say this, Chen Hui was secretly delighted.

Cheng Yi’s attitude towards him last time in Jingzhou City had already made Chen Hui feel hatred in his heart.

Just to eliminate his elder brother Chen Zhi's direct line, he chose to endure temporarily.

It would be wonderful if Wu Tao could compete with Cheng Yi.

No matter who wins or loses between the two, he is the ultimate winner.

If Wu Tao loses, Starcom Group will definitely remove him from the position of general manager of the Handong Provincial Branch. At that time, even if Wu Tao dislikes the Internet cafe industry, he will start the Internet cafe business of Wangyuan Communication.

If Wu Tao wins, he can vent his anger.

Chen Hui said, "Senior, Momo Group is holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Blue Ocean Hotel in Jingzhou City tomorrow morning. How about we go over and show our support?"

Wu Tao laughed and said, "Aren't you planning to give up the Handong Province market? What? Have you changed your mind?"

Chen Hui said, "If they provoke me, I can tolerate it, but if they dare to provoke me, then I can't tolerate it. If I don't teach them a lesson, they will think that there is no one left in Handong Province."

"Okay, then let's go and show them some support." Wu Tao said, "I'll also invite a few big names to come over."

Hearing Wu Tao say this, Chen Hui was overjoyed.

At this moment at the Blue Ocean Hotel, Cheng Yi is making intensive preparations for tomorrow's conference.

The scale of this conference was very large, with as many as 500 participants.

This time, Cheng Yi has used all of his connections.

Handong University, Handong Provincial Construction Group, Jingzhou Newspaper Group, Jingzhou Municipal Government Association, Jingzhou Information Industry Association, Jingzhou Cultural Industry Association...

Adding to that the education leaders Gao Lifu invited, the business leaders Li Chengxuan invited, and the government officials Su Duo invited, the total number reached nearly 100 people.

In addition, there are expatriate leaders from 111 districts and counties, as well as local tyrants invited by these expatriate leaders.

This time it was both a flex of muscles and a live sales pitch.

A meeting of 500 people is definitely a huge test for the organizers.

From determining the number of participants, to arranging the venue, to vehicle pick-up, every link must be carefully considered.

Especially the venue layout, the seating arrangement alone is enough to make your head explode.

Once the seating arrangement for a leader is arranged incorrectly, the leader will be offended immediately.

For this event, Cheng Yi transferred 40 female network administrators and 80 security personnel from Black Panther Company from Jingzhou City to be responsible for the reception and security of the venue.

They spent the entire day in rehearsal, and after ensuring that every process was problem-free, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening.

After preparing for so long, tomorrow is the time to review the results.

The next morning, everyone gathered early in the Blue Ocean Hotel's largest conference hall, the Golden Hall. The female network administrators all wore cheongsams, and the security personnel all wore bodyguard uniforms designed by Xizi Hanyan. These uniforms were modified to the standards of overseas special police uniforms and looked very impressive.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Du Yusheng, dressed in a burgundy suit, stood at the door with Zhang Lingyu and other senior executives to welcome guests. At the entrance of the Blue Sea Hotel, reporters from TV stations and major newspapers were waiting for the arrival of the guests with their cameras.

At this time, Cheng Yi was in the VIP room organizing his speech copy.

In this conference document, he elaborated on the prospects of the Internet cafe industry from three aspects.

First, to respond to policy calls and summarize the existing violations in the Internet cafe industry; second, to introduce the current strength of Momo Internet Cafe and show off its strength to the outside world; third, to introduce the necessity and benefits of Internet cafe joint ventures.

First, it is for leaders to see, second, it is for peers to see, and third, it is for franchisees to see.

As long as these three points are made clear, this conference will be a complete success.

At nine o'clock, cars drove into the parking lot of the Blue Sea Hotel one after another.

This time the admission specifications completely copied the standards for large-scale conferences in 2024.

First there is a security check, then identity registration, then the steward calls out the names of important guests, then they sign in at the sign-in wall and take photos. The whole process is completed in one go under the guidance of the etiquette lady, who then leads the guests to the venue and takes their seats.

"Mr. Gao Lifu, Vice President of Handong University, has arrived."

"Mr. Lin Shengjie, Assistant to the Vice President of Handong University, has arrived." Gao Lifu and Lin Shengjie were the first to arrive. They passed through the security checkpoint and had just finished registering their identity information when the steward next to them called out their names. Then, Du Yusheng and a group of senior executives came forward to greet them, saying with a smile, "President Gao, Assistant Lin, welcome!"

Gao Lifu shook hands with Du Yusheng and said with a smile, "You're welcome. I invited a lot of friends over, so I came a little early."

Gao Lifu looked back at Lin Shengjie and said, "Assistant Lin, please help greet Principal Liu and the others at the door."

"Okay." Lin Shengjie responded quickly.

After completing this grand process, Gao Lifu walked to the venue under the guidance of two etiquette ladies.

"Mr. Li Chengxuan, Office Director of Handong Provincial Construction Group, has arrived."

"Mr. Xu Dongsheng, project manager of Handong Provincial Construction Group, has arrived."

"..."

Gradually, more and more guests came.

At 9:40, the venue was almost full of people. After finishing his speech, Cheng Yi quickly came to the venue.

He came to the first two rows and shook hands and greeted Gao Lifu and others one by one.

Li Chengxuan smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, you did a great job organizing this meeting. I'll ask you to organize our group's annual meeting next time."

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "Brother Li, you're kidding. My skills are just showing off in front of you, aren't they?"

Soon, Gao Lipu and Li Chengxuan introduced Cheng Yi to several friends, all of whom were influential figures in various industries in Handong Province.

Cheng Yi was chatting with them when he heard the steward's loud shout outside.

"Mr. Xue Qingfeng, Chairman of Yantai Shipping Group, has arrived."

Hearing these two names, Li Chengxuan's face changed. He pulled Cheng Yi aside and whispered, "Did you invite Mr. Xue?"

"No, if he was on the list, I would definitely remember it." Cheng Yi was also a little surprised.

Yantai Shipping Group is the most powerful shipping group in the province. Nowadays, those who are qualified to engage in shipping are all people with connections. The transportation of foreign garbage is also the responsibility of Yantai Shipping Group.

Li Chengxuan glanced at the already full first row and said in a deep voice, "You're in trouble, kid. You actually overlooked such an important person. Hurry up and arrange for someone to prepare the seating cards. Give him my seat."

"Okay!" Cheng Yi looked at Li Chengxuan with some gratitude. He first called to arrange for someone to prepare the seat sign, and then went out to greet them accompanied by Li Chengxuan.

When Cheng Yi and Li Chengxuan arrived at the sign-in wall, they saw a burly middle-aged man walking towards them with a good-looking female secretary.

"Oh, Director Li." Seeing Li Chengxuan, the middle-aged man immediately laughed and said, "You, you, you didn't even tell me you were coming to Yantai City."

Li Chengxuan shook hands with the middle-aged man and exchanged a few pleasantries before saying to Cheng Yi, "Brother, haven't you been talking about Chairman Xue all the time? Now you've finally met him in person. This is Chairman Xue Qingfeng of Jingzhou Shipping Group!"

"Oh? Are you still talking about me?" Xue Qingfeng looked at Cheng Yi and laughed, "Director Li, is this your brother?"

Li Chengxuan said: "He is not my biological brother, but he is better than my biological brother."

Xue Qingfeng shook hands with Cheng Yi and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, you are very handsome, and you can tell at a glance that you are not an ordinary person."

"Come on, Mr. Xue, let's take a seat first. We should have a good drink at noon today. We haven't seen each other for more than a year." Li Chengxuan took Xue Qingfeng into the first row of the venue, let Xue Qingfeng sit in his seat, and said with a smile.

"Okay, we won't go home until we're drunk!" Xue Qingfeng laughed.

Li Chengxuan asked casually, "Mr. Xue, you rarely participate in business activities like this. Who invited you here?"

"I have a nephew who should be friends with your brother." Xue Qingfeng said with a smile: "He is the son of Wu Ying from Starcom. I think you know him too."

"Wu Tao?" Although Li Chengxuan was a little surprised, he remained calm and said with a smile, "I see. Wu Tao is really helping me. Okay, Mr. Xue, please take a seat first. I'll go out and help with the reception."

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing." Xue Qingfeng nodded with a smile.

Li Chengxuan quickly left the venue and walked over to Cheng Yi and said, "Mr. Xue was invited by Wu Tao from Starcom Group. This Wu Tao is the general manager of Starcom Group's Handong branch. You injured his assistant. I guess he came here on purpose to embarrass you."

Cheng Yi suddenly realized and said, "This move of his is quite ruthless."

"He's more than just ruthless. If you had put Xue Qingfeng in the back rows, given his temper, he would have destroyed your venue." Li Chengxuan had just finished speaking when he heard the steward shout, "Mr. Pan Sicong, Vice President of the Yantai Municipal Government Association, has arrived."

"Another one!" Li Chengxuan's face darkened. "This is going to be tough. The first two rows are full. The most troublesome thing is, we don't know how many people that little bastard Wu Tao has invited. You're going to have a hard time not offending everyone this time."

The vice president of the Yantai Municipal Government Association is the second most important person in Yantai City. If Momo Group offends such a person, its Internet cafes in Yantai City will definitely be targeted.

"There's nothing else to do now." Cheng Yi straightened his clothes and smiled, "I can only exchange sincerity for sincerity."

"What the hell?" Li Chengxuan looked at Cheng Yi who was walking towards Pan Sicong with surprise, not understanding what Cheng Yi was up to.
