When talking to the people around him, Xia Yu did not forget to pay attention to the other people present.

Especially when someone who can obviously see that he is a big man arrives, Xia Yu will always inquire without a trace.

With the passage of time, more and more people attended, and Xia Yu also recognized some people, such as Li Chaoren, ship king Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji and other bigwigs who were particularly famous in later generations and are now strong.

At first, Xia Yu didn't think about why they would appear at the HSBC Securities cocktail party, but after a little thought, he figured it out.

Li Zhaoji himself has been engaged in the securities industry, and in the future, he will also have the title of Asian stock god, since he is engaged in this industry, then the relationship with HSBC Securities, the giant of the stock market, is certainly not bad.

And the relationship between Bao Yugang and HSBC is not questionable, at present, Bao Yugang and the chairman of HSBC, Shen Bi, who is known as the king of Taipan, has a good relationship, and after two years, he borrowed more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars from HSBC within 24 hours to acquire Wharf.

As for the arrival of Li Chaoren, his Cheung Kong Industrial Company was listed, HSBC Securities is the main underwriter, and now he still holds a part of Cheung Kong Industrial's shares, HSBC Securities held a cocktail party, why didn't he come?

In addition to these bigwigs recognized by Xia Yu, he also found that the status of some people was not lower than Li Chaoren, but unfortunately Xia Yu didn't know them.

Soon, the reception began, Xia Yu saw an Englishman take the center of the stage and start to speak, and after the speech, the reception was announced.

Xia Yu saw Liu Tianci accompanying the Englishman, constantly walking around the crowd, stopping to talk a few words from time to time, and unconsciously came to Xia Yu.

"Xia Sheng, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Nat, the general manager of our HSBC Securities, and also a director of HSBC. ”

"General manager, this is the Xia Sheng I told you, the helmsman of Jiuding Daily, and also our big customer. ”

Liu Tianci, as an intermediary, introduced each other to the two respectively.

"Xia Sheng, I'm Cole Nut, I finally have the opportunity to meet you, thank you for your strong support to us, and welcome you!" Li Qi said with a warm smile and stretched out his hand.

Xia Yu hurriedly shook hands with him, and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Nat, it is my honor to be invited to participate in your company's cocktail party!"

“......”

Then, Xia Yu and Li Qi chatted a few more words, and then in order to take care of the others, Cole Nat and Xia Yu said sorry and left, continuing to the next person.

Xia Yu was not idle, and also seized the opportunity to meet and communicate with other people nearby, expand his network, and for a while, there was laughter and laughter.

After socializing for a while, Xia Yu felt a little hungry, so he left the crowd and went to the food area, picked out some food to eat, and sat in the corner after eating, intending to take a break.

At this moment, Xia Yu found that an energetic old man came over.

"Is there a chance to have a drink?" the old man raised his wine glass, nodded towards Xia Yu and said with a smile.

"My honor!" Xia Yu smiled slightly, raised his wine glass and touched the old man lightly.

It's just that when he was drinking, Xia Yu secretly looked at the old man, wondering who he was.

Because just now, when Xia Yu was observing, he found that there were a lot of people looking for this old man to toast, and most of them were very respectful, which showed that his status was very high.

And now that the old man came to him for a drink, Xia Yu also felt that the eyes of the people around him seemed to be a little strange, and he seemed to be curious about what the old man would say to Xia Yu, which made Xia Yu cheer up, avoid saying the wrong thing, and also pay attention to what the old man would say to him.

"Xia Sheng, you are young and promising, and you have created such an influential newspaper as Jiuding Daily in a short period of time, and the future is immeasurable!" the old man laughed loudly.

"No, no, it's all luck, in fact, I didn't expect it to develop so quickly. Xia Yu hurriedly said modestly, this old man was so familiar, which made him a little surprised, and obviously knew him better, but he didn't know who this old man was, which made him a little passive.

"Haha, be humble, the times create heroes, luck is also part of strength, and without strength, luck alone will not work. Seeing Xia Yu so modest, a trace of appreciation flashed in the old man's eyes, and he smiled.

"I'm really sorry, I don't know who you are, old man?" Xia Yu didn't take the topic, but asked tentatively with an apologetic face.

It seems that the old man has no intention of introducing himself, and it is not a way to be passive like this, so Xia Yu can only take the liberty to take the initiative to ask.

The old man was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Xia Yu to not know him, but he said so much.

But he is not an ordinary person, he still has a natural complexion, and he does not feel embarrassed, but shakes his head slightly and smiles: "You see that I am really old, I have a bad memory, I forgot to introduce myself, I am really sorry, my surname is Zhou, my name is Rongchang, I am the fifth in the family, and others generally call me Zhou Lao Wu or Fifth Uncle." ”

"Hello Fifth Uncle!" Xia Yu hurriedly bowed slightly and shouted, but he was still puzzled in his heart, because apart from his name, the old man didn't say what he did.

"Haha, young and talented, and polite, I haven't seen a more outstanding peer than you in Xiangjiang. The old man Zhou Rongchang said with an appreciative smile.

Xia Yu hurriedly showed a modest expression until he didn't dare.

"When you are old, you always like to mention your juniors, don't think I'm talking too much, you have a bright future, and it is a good thing and a bad thing for young people to be high-spirited, the key is to grasp a good degree, I am optimistic about you, come on!" Zhou Rongchang said encouragingly.

Then without waiting for Xia Yu to speak, he said again: "I'm old, I don't use it, I'll go over there and sit down, I won't bother you, have a good time!"

After speaking, Zhou Rongchang nodded towards Xia Yu and left.

Looking at the back of the old man Zhou Rongchang, Xia Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his brain turned quickly.

In the last sentence just now, Zhou Rongchang's words are meaningful, although there is an element of encouragement, but in Xia Yu's ears, it is more of a warning or an exhortation.

He was reminding Xia Yu that the high-spirited words in his words were euphemisms, and they could also be replaced with a more sharp tone.

It's a good thing and a bad thing, Xia Yu focuses on the bad things.

also mentioned that Xia Yu should grasp a little degree, and translated into more obvious words, it is necessary to know how to advance and retreat.

Thinking of it again, Zhou Rongchang will not come to chat with Xia Yu for no reason, he is telling Xia Yu not to be too sharp in doing things, to stop in moderation, and know how to advance and retreat.

Of course, it seems that in order to show that there is no malice, he said it with words of encouragement, obviously afraid that Xia Yu would think too much or cause unnecessary trouble.

Then, Xia Yu thought of Zhou Rongchang thinking that Xia Yu would know him, so it must be Xia Yu who should understand him, but Xia Yu didn't know him, so this is worth pondering.

In a short period of time, Xia Yu's mind was full of thoughts, and he had a rough guess in his heart, but he was not too sure, he needed to determine who Zhou Rongchang was to be able to confirm the guess in his heart.
