168 War breaks out
The environment can always change a person quietly. Wanglaoji, who once made a living by setting up a flower stall, swept across the Hong Kong and Jiujiang River with a pair of iron fists, always keeping "popping your mother" by his mouth, is now a gentleman in the upper class. He is wearing a well-equipped suit, a bow tie, and a bag of flowers, which makes Zhou Wenqiang look at him sideways.
"my god! Brother Zhou, this is the eldest lady of the Bai family, right? You have such a good vision! When will you prepare for the wedding? I must go to have a wedding."
As the vice chairman of Beiwang Company, Wanglaoji is now a person with a profile and has also been invited to the auction. Although Wanglaoji's herbal tea seems to have nothing to do with today's auction items, Beiwang Company is Zhou Wenqiang's, and inviting Wanglaoji to attend the meeting also gave Zhou Wenqiang face indirectly.
Wanglaoji, who was standing in front of the Peninsula Hotel, was a little nervous. He had already looked through the glass window several times. The guys inside who were either rich or noble in English often made him feel a little timid.
After finally waiting for Zhou Wenqiang, I saw Bai Yue'e holding Zhou Wenqiang's arm, and her eyes lit up. She was excited and said English. This was something I had been studying for a long time, just to deal with a big scene similar to today.
Bai Yue'e was secretly happy when she heard this. She immediately liked Wang Laoji no matter how she looked at him. She smiled sweetly at him: "Brother Laoji, you speak very well in English."
Wang Laoji laughed and walked over and lowered his voice, "Everyone is my own, so I won't pretend anymore. Actually, I can speak a few words of English, and I still learn it now..."
Zhou Wenqiang laughed loudly: "Brother Lao Ji, you don't have to be nervous. When dealing with those foreigners and fake foreigners, let's speak Chinese! This is what it means to have a scheduling."
"Punish your mother, Wen Qiang, you said it earlier, why am I pretending?"
Wang Laoji felt relieved.
"Let's go in together, Lao Ji Ge. In addition to the business people in Hong Kong, there are also many senior political leaders who came today, and there are also many bigwigs from Aocheng. If you have the opportunity, you can communicate with them more, which will be beneficial to the future development of Beiwang Company."
Don’t treat Wanglaoji as a rough person. During this period, Zhou Wenqiang watched coldly? He found that Wanglaoji had the first-class learning ability? Although he was a little rough, he was the most enthusiastic and frank? Is he a person like Cheng Yaojin? Among the upper class gentlemen who everyone wears masks, the more he is, the easier it is to make the other party lose his guard.
The most important thing is that he now has the status of a director of Beiwang Company? And although he was in the world before, he was engaged in the gambling industry? The upper-class people in Hong Kong and Macao are actually very open about gambling. Now the Hong Kong government is even discussing the launch of a national gambling mechanism, which is the famous Mark Six Lottery in the future.
Zhou Wenqiang did not read the wrong person. Not long after he entered, Wanglaoji started playing and started calling brothers to some big shots. Among them were the famous Aocheng tycoon He Xian.
The two were having a lot of chats? They had already started to talk about their business and were preparing to sell Wanglaojiliang [Literature Museum www.wxguan.info] tea and Weidong spicy strips to Aocheng.
He Xian, who had just passed the forty-two years old, chatted with Wang Laoji, while looking at Zhou Wenqiang with appreciation and curiosity. This young man has not risen for a long time, but his name has filled his ears, which makes him very curious.
Zhou Wenqiang didn't pay attention to He Xian? Although he knew that the Australian tycoon was involved in today's auction, he did not want to have a close relationship with him.
He Xian was enthusiastic about charity in his later years? He regarded money as dirt, which was good? But when Lei Yingdong made a deal with him, he was cheated very badly? Such people were too complicated? If it was not necessary or limited to business communication.
"Zhou Sheng."
"Zhou Shazhan."
Zhou Wenqiang walked into the conference hall with Bai Yue'e, a beautiful woman dressed in exquisite clothes? She was like a pair of wallmen, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Many people were curiously looking at this young man who had become famous recently and secretly exclaimed.
Now Zhou Wenqiang has a clear net worth, and has steadily entered the ranks of millionaires in Hong Kong. If the potential benefits brought by Kowloon City are added, although he is not a first-class rich man, he is at least a second-class.
Moreover, he is so young, and he has obvious potential for development than those white-haired rich people. Some second- and third-rate rich people in Hong Kong have smiled kindly at Zhou Wenqiang and found opportunities to come over to talk.
Zhou Wenqiang nodded slightly to Li Jiacheng, Lei Yingdong and He Hongsen standing in the distance, and then started to laugh with these people.
He was born into a wealthy family in his life and held an important position in a large group. He was so comfortable to deal with such scenes, talking softly and politely, and adding some harmless jokes from time to time, which made some old guys laugh out loud.
When communicating and chatting among the upper class, the "Yellow Yellow" style is needed. Everyone is gentleman when they wear clothes, and when they take them off, they are elegant. What can I pretend to be?
"Zhou Sheng, can I talk a few more times?"
A middle-aged man with a kind face walked up to Zhou Wenqiang with a smile. Li Jiacheng followed him behind him and whispered to Zhou Wenqiang: "The King of Shipbuilding wants to talk to Wenqiang about the auction today."
Zhou Wenqiang nodded: "It's just my wish, the King of Shipbuilding, let's go to the cafe next to you."
After explaining Bai Yue'e, she moved to the cafe next to her with the boat charter king. After a few greetings, the boat charter king smiled and said, "Zhou Sheng, I want to thank you for the medicine you gave me first. My wife took it very well after drinking it. The old wound actually showed signs of healing."
Originally, Zhou Wenqiang was going to give some other gifts. Later, Jiang Wentao found out that Mrs. Bao accidentally fell while riding a horse when she was young. Her old injuries were not healed. Whenever it was rainy, it would inevitably occur, so she gave her a little diluted "Wanglaoji's slaughter potion".
The magic medicine of the system is naturally extraordinary. Judging from the happy appearance of the ship charter king, he is obviously very grateful to him.
Zhou Wenqiang smiled and said, "This is nothing. I also got the slap wine from an old Chinese doctor by chance. It is said to be very effective. If it is helpful to Mrs. Bao, it would be the best. This is just a trivial matter. The ship king doesn't need to thank me specifically."
The boat charter king smiled and said, "I don't thank you for your kindness, but this favor is repayable. Zhou Sheng, I'll go straight to the point. How many boats do you want to take in this auction?"
"I will at least win one of the two merchant ships with a displacement of 4,000 tons. I also want to buy the speedboat, the more the better. There are also those big tail boats, Venus boats, and the charter boat kings will definitely not look down on such bargains, and I am interested in them."
Zhou Wenqiang was not polite and directly released his bottom line.
The ones who can compete with me today are Lei Yingdong and the ship charter king. Lei Yingdong is his own person. Now it depends on how much appetite the ship charter king has.
"Zhou Sheng, everyone will not be outsiders in the future. I will call you Wen Qiang."
The ship charter king smiled and said, "To be honest, I have been doing ocean-going trade between Europe and the United States recently and need to add ships. I have a suggestion, do you think it is acceptable?"
"I know that you have rented two merchant ships in my company and are doing... legal trade, and I urgently need to expand the fleet. In this way, I want both merchant ships! In addition, I have packed and photographed all those speedboats, big tail boats, and Venus boats. In return, these speedboats, big tail boats, and Venus boats are regarded as gifts I have given you."
Zhou Wenqiang frowned slightly: "This gift from the King of Shipbuilding is not light..."
The ship charter king sighed and said, "I know Wenqiang, you are interested in those two merchant ships. This time I will think that you are doing me a favor."
"To express your gratitude, in addition to giving away those small boats, your charter fee will be 50% off on the existing basis. In addition, in half a year, our company will eliminate two merchant ships that are not suitable for ocean navigation, with displacements of more than 2,500 tons. I will give you these two ships at 20% of the new ships, which will ensure that they are lower than the second-hand ships on the market. What do you think?"
"oh?"
Zhou Wenqiang raised his eyebrows, which was a huge advantage. The chartering king's operation was actually not much cheaper than buying two new ships, and it was more like taking the opportunity to establish a deeper friendship with himself.
When you reach the level of the ship charter king, you obviously want to give you benefits, but you also have to be beautiful and not embarrassed. This is what you call cleverness.
"The King of Ship chartering, since that's the case, I don't seem to have a reason to refuse? Then thank you."
The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
As expected, Lei Yingdong was reminded by Zhou Wenqiang that he did not take the bidding. The other competitors were either "threatened" by Zhou Wenqiang in advance, or were unable to compete with the charter king, and they all withdrew from the auction. All ships were directly packaged and photographed by the charter king.
The charter king waved his hand and gave more than a dozen speedboats, big tailboats and Venus boats worth more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars directly to Zhou Wenqiang.
These small boats were his "gift" to repay Zhou Wenqiang for curing his wife's old illness. The ship king took action and was so proud.
Half a month later, all these ships that changed the registration country of the ship were classified as Zhou Wenqiang, and the maritime fleet of the "Shenzhou Company" further developed and expanded.
At the same time, "Shenzhou Company" won the third round of sea golden journey and set sail!
On the second day after the fleet set off, a big news shocked the whole of Asia.
Chapter completed!
