Chapter 149, Banquet
It's been more than ten days, and on this day, Li Ya prepared a gift and went to visit Mr. Zheng to thank him for his help back then.
Mr. Zheng recognized Li Ya at a glance, except that Li Ya had just called, and he was the only one who came at this time, and Li Ya's appearance had hardly changed, but he had just become a little more mature, he was very impressed by Li Ya, after all, Li Ya was so young, but he did two big deals with him.
"Mr. Zheng, I haven't seen you all these years, are you okay?" Li Ya spoke first and greeted.
"Okay, everything is fine!" Mr. Zheng replied with a smile, stretching out his hand to invite, "Let's go, come into the house and talk." ”
After entering the house, Li Ya handed over the gift he brought and said, "I have long wanted to come over to thank you for your help back then, but I haven't been able to spare time. It's a gadget I made myself, not a tribute. ”
"Just come and play directly, what kind of gifts to bring. Mr. Zheng said with a smile. As he spoke, he took Li Ya's gift and put it aside.
"How have you been all these years?" Mr. Zheng asked, putting down the gift, "you should develop in the mainland, right?"
"How do you know this?" asked Li Ya in surprise. The boss of Chow Tai Fook Company paid attention to a penniless kid, which surprised Li Ya.
"Hehe, I have a lot of friends in Canada. After you went to Vancouver, you did a few big things, and old friends would talk about you when they chatted. Mr. Zheng said with a smile, "And the fact that you went to the mainland to invest was not reported much back then." "And in these years, the trading company established by Li Ya and them is in the limelight, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult for him to think about it.
"It's barely enough, it's just laying the groundwork now. Li Ya said modestly, "We are mainly engaged in industry, and in the case of industry, we must first work technical research." ”
"It is really feasible to do business in the mainland, where there are many technicians and skilled workers. Although the technology is backward compared with other countries, there are all kinds of technical talents, and it is precisely because of backwardness that it is a good opportunity for investment. Mr. Zheng affirmed Li Ya's approach.
"That's what I thought, too. Li Ya said, "Starting from scratch is the most difficult." Since we already have it, even if the technology is backward, but with the advanced technology of other countries as a reference, we just need to follow it, and we will catch up much faster without taking detours. "The machine tool company is an example, there were no CNC machine tools in China at that time, and all CNC machine tools were imported.
When CNC machine tools first entered the country, countless people felt that it was very magical, the treatment of CNC machine tools was simply five-star, and the factory specially repaired a glass room to isolate it, and the door was locked. And when the research center researches the CNC system, and then sets up a machine tool company, digests the existing technology in hand, and realizes mass production, the CNC machine tool is no longer mysterious, and everyone thinks that it is like that.
Now Chaoyang machine tool company has developed a variety of CNC machine tools, and technology continues to progress, in the continued investment in research at the same time, but also the introduction of foreign advanced technology, the business of the machine tool company is getting bigger and bigger, not only sold in the country, to achieve import substitution, but also exported to the third world countries, in the domestic industry is not small.
After chatting with Mr. Zheng for two hours, Li Ya left after lunch, and Mr. Zheng invited Li Ya to come to the banquet in two days.
When Li Ya arrived, there were already people arriving, gathered in a few groups, talking in low voices, among which Li Ya saw several familiar people. said that it was familiar, because Li Ya had seen the movies they acted in, so he was familiar. Otherwise, he was a dick in his last life, who is a capable person? Not to mention knowing, the real person has never seen it, even if it is far away, who taught his family to have no money and look down on concerts?
Now I finally see the real person!" Li Ya thought to himself. It can be regarded as the fulfillment of a small wish of the year.
One by one, they raised their heads to see if they didn't know, and then lowered their heads to play with themselves.
Li Ya walked around and took a look, went to the balcony to blow the wind, and looked at the scenery in the evening.
After a while, it was lively inside, Li Ya looked back, there were more and more people, looked into the courtyard, Mr. Zheng also went out to greet him, it seemed that the big man had arrived, and soon the banquet began.
The banquet follows the regular process, eat and drink well, and have fun, and the banquet begins.
Mr. Zheng chatted with a few old friends for a while, and said with a smile, "Today, I will introduce you to a little friend, don't look at him as small, he is not small at all." ”
"Who?" asked an old man. It is rare to be able to introduce them to each other, but it is still a young person, and they are all very curious, and listen to what Mr. Zheng said.
Li Ya clinked glasses with a few, but he didn't know if he knew Li Ya, anyway, he felt that such a banquet was tasteless. At this time, a waiter came over and took Li Ya to Mr. Zheng.
Mr. Zheng introduced several old men to Li Ya, all of whom were rich, and Li Ya greeted them one by one. After finishing Mr. Zheng introduced: "This young man's name is Li Ya, Muzi Li, the end of the world. Regardless of his youth, he did two major things in Vancouver: one was to donate more than 10 million yuan to help those refugees who came to Canada to survive the initial difficulties, and the other was to set up a trading company to do business with the mainland. After that, he returned to the mainland to invest, and the first time we organized a delegation to go back to the mainland for inspection, it was because he went first. ”
Several of them were businessmen, and the reason why everyone hurriedly went to the mainland to inspect at the beginning, of course they knew that it was because there were already people who had gone and invested, and of course they didn't want to let go of this good opportunity to make money.
Li Ya said a few words modestly, and Mr. Zheng said: "Don't be modest, young people have the courage to think and dare to do, which is something that we old men can't match." ”
"It's good to dare to think and be aggressive, but the chance of failure is greater. Li Ya said, "And you have many years of experience, moving forward steadily, although sometimes it may be slower, but you will not fail easily." ”
has been in business with several CEOs for decades and has become a CEO with a net worth of tens of billions, and Li Ya chatted more with them not about business, but about eating, drinking, and maintaining health. For them, they are already rich, and now that they are older, their bodies are the most important thing.
However, as far as Li Ya knows, although the body is important at this time, they do not do it in their daily lives.
After chatting for a while, Mr. Zheng said, "You go over there to play, it's boring to listen to our old man." Li Ya left with apologies.
"Old Zheng, how did you know him?" asked an old man.
"It's also fate. He had a business with me back then, so we met. "We haven't seen each other for a few years, but from what I know, he's made a lot of money in the mainland over the years." That trading company alone has a profit of more than hundreds of millions a year. ”
Li Ya was called by the big guy inside, and after he came out, the young people wanted to know Li Ya. No matter how young Li Ya is, if he can get the favor of several bigwigs, it is worth getting acquainted with them, and he may be able to help him when he can.
Regardless of men and women, since they want to get to know Li Ya, Li Ya will not refuse to come and talk to them. As for those beautiful female stars, Li Ya keeps a certain distance, he is a married man. The female star who thought she was the most beautiful in Hong Kong back then is now the time for youth and beauty, but she is married and divorced. Li Ya remembered that she was not married until he was reborn, and there were many scandals in those years. She is a typical person who has a good hand of cards in her hand, but she breaks it.
Although she is really beautiful, in a show, her thoughts made Li Ya very disappointed. She is perfect on the silver screen, she is so ignorant in life, no wonder she hasn't married herself off for so many years.
However, after hearing that Li Ya was from the mainland, several asked Li Ya about the situation in the mainland. Everyone is very curious about what the mainland is like, especially now that it has been determined that ** will be under the jurisdiction of the mainland in ten years, and they want to know more about the situation in the mainland.
In this regard, Li Ya did not hide his personal interests, and gave them a detailed introduction to the situation in the mainland. As for what they think in their hearts and how they choose, Li Ya can't control it. "Or, you can go to the mainland and have a look, as the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing. But if you just go to Guangdong next door, it doesn't matter, if you want to go farther, you still have to bring a tour guide who can speak Mandarin, otherwise others won't understand what you say. "Now when we chat, everyone speaks Cantonese, Li Ya doesn't speak much, and it's basically okay to listen, so he uses Mandarin when introducing the mainland.
"To tell you the truth, I suggest you go to the mainland and do some business. Li Ya said, "It doesn't matter how much money you have. ”
"Is this possible to do business in the mainland?" asked one man. In their impression, doing business requires a lot of capital, not like opening a small shop, it is not considered to be a business. In **, it takes a lot of cost to start a company and make a lot of money, and they can't afford to play with that little money.
"As far as I know, there are quite a few people who have borrowed from all over the world and scraped together two or three thousand yuan to do business, and these two or three thousand are still RMB, and in a few years, there are already hundreds of thousands, and a few have already made millions. Li Ya said, "I'm not afraid of low capital, as long as you find a good direction, you can make money quickly." ”
Tens of millions of dollars, even the poorest of them can take it out casually, Li Ya's words opened a window for them, maybe they can try, there is not much loss, if the business is bigger, they may be able to become rich.
In the second half of the banquet, Li Ya became the center of a group of stars, chatting with them lively, from their works to the filming process, and then invited Li Ya to the set to have a look.
"Go to the set?" Li Ya was very interested, it was one thing for the movie to be released, and it was another thing when it was filmed, Li Ya wanted to see for himself how the shots in the movie were made.
"Once you've seen the filming, you don't want to watch the movie. The beautiful female star said.
