Chapter 166: Taking the initiative to find trouble?
The hall was very large and noisy, but when I saw Chen Geng who came in with Zhang Zilu, the noisy voice in the hall seemed to be suddenly lowered, and dozens of pairs of eyes fell on Chen Geng......
You think too much, and this situation doesn't happen at all.
Although in terms of Chen Geng's current scale and strength, a considerable number of bigwigs in the Chamber of Commerce are also inferior to Chen Geng, but since joining the Chamber of Commerce, Chen Geng has participated in collective activities no more than three times, and some bigwigs in the Chamber of Commerce do not wait to see him, who knows who he Chen Geng is.
The first thing many people pay attention to is not Chen Geng at all, but Zhang Zilu standing next to Chen Geng - compared with Chen Geng, Zhang Zilu, who has a father who is the vice president of the Michigan branch of the North American Chinese Chamber of Commerce, is undoubtedly more attractive.
It was also until this time that many people noticed Chen Geng standing next to Zhang Zilu, looking at the relationship between the two that seemed to be quite close, and they couldn't help but be a little curious: Who is the kid standing next to the old Zhang family's daughter, is it the boyfriend of the old Zhang family's daughter?
An elder who had a good relationship with the Zhang family came over to greet Zhang Zilu with a smile: "Zilu is here......?" It's only been a few days since I saw you, and our little Zilu is beautiful again, why didn't you go to your uncle's house to play with your sister?"
"Hello Uncle Jia. Zhang Zilu greeted the other party very politely: "I called Wenwen and I will go to play with her in a few days." ”
"Mm-hmm......" Mr. Jia, who spoke, nodded happily, looked at Chen Geng, and said with a smile: "Our little Zilu is also talking about a boyfriend?"
"Uncle Jia, you are mistaken, this is not my boyfriend, it is tonight's guest of honor, Mr. Fernandez. ”
Just this kid, or a VIP?
Mr. Jia was stunned for a moment, his brain reacted quickly, he looked at Chen Geng with some surprise, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Zilu: "You said he was ...... That Mr. Chen from Detroit?"
"If you're talking about Mr. Chen, who has worked with Chrysler and Ford, then that's right, it's him. Zhang Zilu's face was a little playful.
“......”
After being stunned for half a second, Mr. Jia hurriedly stretched out his hand to Chen Geng: "Hello Mr. Chen, contemptible Jia Shengcai, I have heard Mr. Chen's name for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to see him...... I'm sorry, I just snubbed ......."
Fernandez Chen, but who in the current North American Chinese circle doesn't know this name? Jia Shengcai has always wanted to get acquainted with this young handsome man among the North American Chinese, but he has never had the opportunity, although Lao Zhang had told him that Chen Geng would come over tonight, but who would have thought that Lao Zhang was so cunning that he actually pulled his own daughter over......?
Jia Shengcai was a little annoyed: Why didn't I think about bringing my daughter over?
Zhang Zilu explained to Chen Geng in a timely manner: "Fernandez, Uncle Jia is my father's best friend for many years, and he is in the textile business. ”
Jia Shengcai, who is in the textile business in Lansing?
It turned out to be him!
Chen Geng was suddenly stunned.
There are hundreds of members in the Michigan branch of the entire North American Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but Chen Geng is particularly impressed by this Mr. Jia. Retail and even a compatriot in the leather and meat business, this Jia Shengcai is undoubtedly engaged in a much more high-end industry: he is engaged in textiles, and his textile import and export business is very large, accounting for almost one-tenth of the total scale of textiles imported by the entire Michigan from Asia, and has a considerable influence among the Chinese community in Michigan.
Zhang Zongping once said to himself that if it weren't for Jia Shengcai's unintentional internal affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, he would be the most powerful candidate for the president of the Michigan branch of the North American Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and he could be in the position of vice president of the Michigan branch for nearly ten years, which is inseparable from Jia Shengcai's support.
And unlike many Chinese Americans who specialize in pitting compatriots, Zhang Zongping has a good reputation for his compatriots, and he is very righteous, and if his compatriots encounter difficulties and come to him for help, he almost never refuses.
It's okay to have money, but the other party's character is indeed worthy of admiration, Chen Geng hurriedly held the other party's hand and said politely: "Ashamed! Ashamed! I don't know that Mr. Jia is here, otherwise I should have come over a long time ago." ”
Chen Geng's humble attitude made Jia Shengcai a little surprised.
Jia Sheng learned something about Chen Geng's situation from his old friends, and while he was shocked by this young man's keen business insight, he also subconsciously felt that since this kid had achieved so much at such a young age, he must have a look of no one in his eyes - the kid who had no ability and knew that he was asking for money from himself still had eyes on the top of his head, not to mention a person who had worked hard for such a big business alone?
But at this moment, Chen Geng's performance surprised Jia Shengcai, not only did he not see a trace of no one in his eyes, but he couldn't even see the superficiality and naivety that a young man of this age should be, introverted, modest, and gentle...... Is this really what a young man of this age should look like?
No wonder such an achievement can be achieved in such a short period of time, and it is indeed a lot of two brushes.
Jia Shengcai's reaction was also very fast, and after being stunned, he said happily: "Everyone is from Huaxia, don't say polite words, let's move around more in the future." ”
Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "What you said is that you will ask my brother for more guidance in the future, and then you don't bother me." ”
Chen Geng gave himself face like this, Jia Sheng was very happy, and hurriedly said politely: "Brother, you are too polite, don't say pointing, if you want to point out, it's also brother, you point to brother, I ......"
Before Jia Shengcai finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted......
"Mr. Chen, right, since you talked about pointing, you don't dare to point out, but it may not be too bad to hear, but I don't vomit or be unhappy. ”
Jia Shengcai didn't know when someone was standing behind him, he frowned and looked at Chen Geng with a little disgust.
Abhor?
Damn, who's this guy who came out of nowhere?
Looking at this guy who suddenly appeared and looked at him with a look of disgust, Chen Geng was suddenly a little confused: Brother, I don't seem to have seen you, right?
Although Chen Geng didn't know this benevolent brother, Jia Shengcai obviously did.
Seeing the other party, Jia Shengcai's brows suddenly frowned, and he dragged him hard: "Lao Cheng, Mr. Chen's achievements are obvious to all, and he is the pride of our Chinese, how are you talking, have you drunk too much?"
After speaking, without waiting for the other party to speak, he said to Chen Geng apologetically: "Brother Chen, don't mind, Lao Cheng has a poisonous mouth, in fact, he is not bad, he just likes to talk nonsense after drinking too much......"
"Drinking too much?"
Chen Geng looked at the "Mr. Cheng" in front of him with a playful expression: he couldn't smell the smell of wine at all.
Since he didn't drink too much, Chen Geng was also very sure that he hadn't dealt with this old man, in that case, what did this old man mean?
To be honest, if Chen Geng is really not angry, he is just a little curious: those who can participate in the gathering in the Chamber of Commerce are at least members of the Chamber of Commerce, and being a member of the Chamber of Commerce means that he at least has a certain economic strength and brains, and is not a fool.
It's so fun, since this guy is not stupid, he should know that provoking himself doesn't do him any good, but it's obviously not good, this guy still did it, and he was very excited......
It's kind of interesting.
"I don't think this Mr. Cheng has drunk too much," Chen Geng said with a smile: "Maybe Mr. Cheng really has some advice...... I haven't hired Mr. Tutorial yet, what do you think is wrong with me?"
Not only Mr. Cheng, but also Jia Shengcai and Zhang Zilu were a little surprised: It's all at this point, Chen Geng can still stay shocked?
Mr. Cheng was no exception, he glanced at Chen Geng in surprise: "Problem? It's a big problem, Mr. Chen, right? I heard that the mayor of Detroit came to power because of you? As a senior, I advise you, politics is not something that we Chinese can play and mix, do our business honestly, don't mix politics, otherwise you won't know how you died when you die......
Politics?
Chen Geng showed a playful smile on his face: Is this someone unhappy with him?
Before Chen Geng could speak, the little transparent Mirren who was standing next to Chen Geng suddenly spoke: "This gentleman, may I ask how much money you have?"
"What do you mean?" Mr. Cheng was stunned for a moment.
"My boss, now his net worth is more than 30 million US dollars, according to the growth rate of his wealth, at most, he will be worth more than half a billion US dollars in a year," Mirren looked at the other party with a smile, but his mouth was not polite at all: "It seems that you have a lot of experience in how to do business, so may I ask, how much is your net worth? There must be hundreds of millions of dollars, right? Maybe more than a billion dollars?"
Mr. "Billion-dollar" suddenly had a blue and white face, but he was speechless with a trembling mouth: If he was really worth hundreds of millions of dollars, he would still be mixed up at banquets of this grade and this level? Why would he go to the upper class society of the United States to mingle with it.
Not to mention a billionaire, this surnamed Cheng is not even a millionaire, he just opened two chain restaurants under the protection of some people.
Seeing that this guy's face was constantly changing, Mirren was unceremoniously stabbed him in the chest again: "Don't you have a net worth of hundreds of millions? There will always be $50 million...... Since your value is not as good as our boss, it means that your ability to do business is not as good as our boss, so what do you suggest...... boss,”
Turning his head, Mirren looked at Chen Geng with a smile: "I think this gentleman's words, whether you listen to it or not, that's actually the case." ”
Mr. "Billionaire" had a green face, but he was still speechless.
Chen Geng's follower is telling the truth, you are not even worth a million, and you are ashamed to say that you want to teach a multimillionaire worth tens of millions of dollars how to do business, isn't this to laugh off the big guy's big teeth!
