Chapter 0431 The Age of Crisis A faint premonition
The Internet bubble in 2000 dealt a huge blow to the Internet business of Longguo, whether it was Wangyi, Fox or Xinlang, including Ideal M365, as well as the early Yinghaiwei and 8848, all fell into the quagmire of development, and even the crisis of broken capital chain, and even some companies disappeared overnight.
The crisis of the entire industry has not had a small impact on Cui Ning's company and Dongfang Shuai's company, but after all, the company has a foundation, and there are services in various industries, so it can be regarded as a steady development.
And many small advertising media companies, especially those that used to serve some Internet companies, basically fell into a crisis of survival, so Cui Ning made a decisive move, began the merger and cooperation plan, in just one or two months, holding more than a dozen companies that have been inspected, it is a preliminary completion of the small integration of this industry, and the future of large and small customers can also negotiate cooperation, but the requirements for personnel training are higher, Cui Ning is naturally more busy.
However, when Cui Ning won a gold medal - that is, the membership of the Jing'an Club, Su Ruoqing was still a little curious when she saw it:
"Husband, is this the identity of the representative of the Jing'an Club?"
"Yes, it's actually quite heavy, with a membership fee of 10 million per year, there will be several important activities, and you can meet some friends together at that time, according to Wu Zhenhua, they are all real elites and upstarts in the Dragon Kingdom."
"I'm not interested in the elite and friends, I just want to go and see it, anyway, I haven't been there yet, to see what the so-called rich people's club looks like?
By the way, husband, can you take me to see this gold medal?"
Cui Ning smiled:
"Well, I've been busy lately, just this weekend, we also have time in the afternoon, let's go and have a look, but in fact, the decoration inside is not so luxurious, a lot of classical furniture is priceless, such as red sandalwood or something."
Su Ruoqing and Cui Ning are both action-oriented, just go, Su Ruoqing's simple dress, the summer short skirt style, so that Su Ruoqing's long legs, which are more beautiful than jade, are undoubtedly revealed, every inch of skin seems to be shining, and the facial features are exquisite like the most exquisite works of art in the world, in short, anyone who sees Su Ruoqing will think that this is a flawless, not belonging to the world, and an unstoppable woman.
Looking at Cui Ning's affectionate gaze, Su Ruoqing gently kissed Cui Ning's cheek and said with a smile:
"Old husband and wife, can't you see enough?"
"I can't see enough, and every time I look at it, I feel that the Creator is really gracious to you, and also to me" Cui Ning took Su Ruoqing's hand and said sincerely:
"I really don't know if I saved the world once in my last life."
On a summer afternoon, the sun is shining in Longdu, and Cui Ning and Su Ruoqing's ears are no longer the sound of cicadas and frogs, but the melodious and low-key violin, and the smell of sandalwood.
When you enter the Jing'an Club, the first thing that catches your eye is the "Screen Throne", which is covered in gold leaf, which is very eye-catching. It is said that it is produced by the Dragon Kingdom Rosewood Museum and made according to the proportion of the dragon chair of the Qianqing Palace in the old palace. The "red sandalwood Ruyi" on the side echoes it.
Passing through the wooden arched door on the left and taking the elevator up to the 9th floor, the dining layout is fresh and elegant, with warm yellow lights reflecting the main colors of red or black furniture, which looks quiet and warm. In addition, there is a library, a cigar room, and more.
Black and red, really not the kind of golden luxury or stunning, but full of delicacy and warmth, as well as the taste and feeling of home.
Since Cui Ning is a member of the club, he took Su Ruoqing to visit the Jing'an Club as if she were visiting, looking at the flowers or dragonflies, and then preparing to find a place to sit down, have a cup of tea, and then talk.
But at this time, Cui Ning had a very bad feeling in his heart, this feeling came and went quickly, like a premonition, but Cui Ning couldn't tell what it represented.
After all, Su Ruoqing and Cui Ning had a heart-to-heart connection, and when she saw Cui Ning's face with a short three-second surprise and stunned, she asked:
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, maybe I'll meet some bad people and things" Cui Jing calmed his mind for a moment and said:
"Let's go for tea, in fact, in addition to some activities here, the key is to hope that members will often use the clubhouse here, including introducing new members, but it's really not that you can get in with money, the key is the introduction of old members."
Su Ruoqing and Cui Ning turned a corner of the club, and they were greeted by three strangers that Cui Ning didn't know, but one of these three people was something Su Ruoqing had seen.
The man in the white suit, the businessman named "Ouyang Yuntian" that Su Ruoqing and the others had seen when they accompanied Xu Tiantian to buy wedding jewelry, and a man who was about 1.8 meters tall, was born with a noble spirit, and was in his thirties.
Next to the two men, there was a senior manager of the club, and a lady in a neat and meticulous suit, but whether it was the senior manager of the club or the woman in the suit, they were half a meter behind Ouyang Yuntian and the noble man, and behind the two of them, they kept their distance and etiquette.
The two men were talking in a low voice, and Cui Ning and Su Ruoqing walked on the opposite side, whether it was Ouyang Yuntian or the noble man, when they saw Su Ruoqing, they didn't feel a light in front of them, as if the entire club was lit up by spotlights.
The noble man smiled slightly, motioned for Ouyang Yuntian to pause, took two steps forward, faced Cui Ning and Su Ruoqing, and said gently:
"Excuse me, the two of you, who are also members of the club?"
Because of Cui Ning's feeling just now, he was stunned for a moment, but he nodded politely:
"Yes, the new member who just joined, I happened to have something to do today."
"Oh, is this a new member who is about to join? If you need an introduction from an old member, I can count it as a" The noble man turned to Su Ruoqing politely, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself:
"Zheng Tianxiong, the first batch of members of the Jing'an Club, what is this lady's name?"
Su Ruoqing didn't stretch out her hand, but snuggled up to Cui Ning's side, and said lightly:
"I'm not a member, I'm accompanying my husband over for some business, Mr. Zheng, don't bother you, you're busy."
Zheng Tianxiong nodded, stretched out his hand, and the meticulous woman in the suit behind him, about thirty years old, handed the bag in his hand to Zheng Tianxiong, Zheng Tianxiong took out two golden business cards from the bag, and handed them to Su Ruoqing and Cui Ning with both hands:
"Nice to meet you, let's exchange business cards."
Cui Ning took the business card, gave his business card to Zheng Tianxiong, and saw that Zheng Tianxiong's business card said "Zheng's Tianxiong Group", and nodded:
"What is the relationship between Zheng Tianxiong and Zheng Group?"
"Zheng's is my family's business, Zheng's Tianxiong is my personal little business, it seems that you know Zheng's Group? Cui Ning, brand consulting, cultural media industry, what services and customers do you have?"
"If you have the opportunity, you can go to the company to guide the work, compared with the Zheng Group, we are really a small company" Cui Ning took Su Ruoqing's hand and nodded politely:
"But we have something to do today, so let's go first, let's talk."
"It's okay, I'm here this time because my father is 66 years old, thinking that a father will order a set of diamond jewelry, this is a jewelry merchant, Ouyang Yuntian, you can also get to know it, in about half a month is my father's birthday, I want to invite two of you to participate, I don't know if it's convenient?"
"Mr. Zheng's birthday, congratulations, there is no inconvenience, it is a company like ours, which is relatively busy, and many times we have to follow the customer, I am afraid that if the customer has something to do at that time."
"Hehe, the customer's affairs are also busy, but we Zheng's Group also have some brand consulting work, maybe there are opportunities for cooperation?"
Cui Ning nodded:
"But I know that the Zheng Group has its own cultural company, and it also invests in films, including large-scale festival planning, and it is estimated that we don't look down on our small company, and we just do some small jobs that are icing on the cake."
"Be modest, then say okay, when the time comes, I will invite the two of you to attend my old man's 66th birthday, your lover, didn't give me a business card, what do you mean?"
Su Ruoqing leaned closer to Cui Ning and said:
"Mr. Zheng, I'm sorry, I went out with my husband today without a business card."
"This understanding, you leave the phone to my assistant, when the time comes, I will send two invitations in the name of the family and the individual, I hope that the time will be appreciated, welcome the two of them, and my Zheng Tianxiong company, there are still hundreds of millions of publicity costs every year, I really hope to cooperate, after all, they are all members of the Jing'an Club, and the basis and trust of cooperation are no problem."
The meticulous lady in the back, that is, Zheng Tianxiong's assistant, came to ask Su Ruoqing's phone, Su Ruoqing left a number of the company's marketing department to Zheng Tianxiong's assistant, and then left the Jing'an Club with Cui Ning and Cui Ning.
Back in the car, Su Ruoqing patted her chest and said:
"Husband, your feeling is so accurate, I think this Zheng Tianxiong's aura is so strong, and there is indescribable aggression and possessiveness in his eyes, which makes me very uncomfortable."
"It's okay, but the Zheng Group is the top group in China, a real giant company, and like the Ji family, they are all ancient families, even with a history of thousands of years.
Especially in the past few decades, they have mastered a lot of infrastructure in our country, railways, highways, mines, non-ferrous metals, these industries are their largest except for state-owned enterprises, and many of the above-mentioned construction and mining equipment are monopolized by their families.
Zheng's Tianyun is similar to Wan Xinglong's company, but his investments are all backgrounded, such as large-scale investment in films, cultural projects, and industrial parks.
In this sense, the Zheng Group has more heritage than the Ji family, and it is the largest group company in our country in terms of basic industry."
"So what? I said it, you are my husband, there is still an indescribable snuggle in his eyes, and the first time we met, he invited us to Mr. Zheng's birthday party, not that it was abrupt, but I think Zheng Tianxiong has ulterior motives."
"I don't feel good, but some things are fate, and after all, the other party is polite, so we can't say anything" Cui Ning gently hugged Su Ruoqing and said:
"Okay, go home, don't think about these things, when the time comes, Old Man Zheng's birthday banquet, I'll just go alone, besides, it's a society under the rule of law, what does he care about the Zheng family's Li family, let's just do our own thing."
