Chapter 208: Reception (I)
Listening to what Qi Lianshan said about the elders' juniors, many reporters pursed the corners of their lips, intuitively showing disbelief.
However, after Qi Lianshan pulled the car door, he did not put his hand on the top edge of the car door like a gentleman to show intimacy, but directly took a half step back and stood in a position close to his subordinates and waited, making many reporters unable to get things into gender relations.
There are also a small number of people who are sensitive to the subtle meaning of using elders instead of elders in Qi Lianshan's speech, and Qi Lianshan vaguely said that the pair of girls are the same as himself.
"Chairman Qi, can you introduce the identities of those two ladies?"
"I can't make decisions for others, you can ask your editor-in-chief tomorrow. ”
Qi Lianshan threw the pot directly.
"Can you tell us the names of those two ladies?"
Qi Lianshan shook his head.
"Can you tell us about the ages of those two ladies?"
Qi Lianshan shook his head.
"Can you tell us where those two ladies are from?"
Qi Lianshan still shook his head.
Nima ⊙∀⊙!, the reporter was angry, and didn't say anything, what are you doing here?
"I can only reveal one thing, that is, those two ladies, like most of the people present, are descendants of Chinese Miao and Yan and Huang. ”
Qi Lianshan finished what he had to say, ignored the reporters' shouting and ran away, but it was certain that he was not a foreigner, and the reporters did not gain anything.
It's not dark yet, but the function room on the eighth floor of Mandarin Oriental is brightly lit, with red-bow-tie waiters and high-capped chefs weaving like butterflies through a maze of buffet tables, chairs and round tables.
Due to the large scale of the cocktail party, the buffet of the cocktail party adopts a partition system, in addition to the traditional cold area, hot area, and dessert area of the Western-style cocktail party, there is also an independent seafood area according to someone's preference.
As long as the big boss is happy, other people's arguments are useless, and in terms of Jardine's status in the rivers and lakes, this matter is more likely to be described as an innovation of traditional cocktail parties, and it is possible to take Hong Kong Island by storm in the future.
Two brothers, Victor and Richard, holding a glass of red wine, stood at a small bar near the floor-to-ceiling windows of the dessert section, looking at the Taiping Mountain on Hong Kong Island dyed with a thick layer of golden light by the setting sun.
"Jardine Matheson is such a scourge, and he left such a-stirring stick on Hong Kong Island when he died. ”
Richard said with some indignation.
HK Electric is originally in the industry, although Hong Kong Island does not have R&D talents for power equipment, but can do a lot of technical analysis, and the Li family is not short of money, and a lot of money is sprinkled Victor and Richard finally understand the gameplay of Liwan.
Regardless of whether there are mobile natural gas power generation ships overseas, there is no difficulty in this thing technically, and it can even be rudely regarded as a concentrated enlarged version of the power generation equipment on a supertanker.
The consulting company also thoughtfully listed a number of industrial groups that have the ability to complete this new equipment as a recommendation, looking at a series of top global industrial groups such as GE, Siemens, Mitsubishi, etc., the Li family thoroughly realized what level of opponent HK Electric would face.
There are two Hong Kong Island Power companies, and of course HK Electric can't carry this matter by itself, so Victor walked into the board of directors of China Power with the previous analysis materials.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and what tricks can this company play behind Jardine Matheson, HK Electric and CLP Power have held several brainstorming meetings and come to a very unsatisfactory conclusion.
The news that Victor received from the scene is likely to be true, and Jardine Matheson, which owns a large amount of real estate on Hong Kong Island, is likely to circumvent the "Hong Kong Island Electricity Control Ordinance" and directly supply electricity to its own property in the name of a new generation of environmentally friendly and energy-saving buildings.
The easiest way is to integrate the electricity bill into the property fee, and then advertise the free electricity supply of the building, and the Hong Kong government and the two power companies can only stare dryly.
With the sale of China Gas, Liwan's roots in Hong Kong Island have deepened, and Li Zhengjiang's properties are also a lot, and China Gas has a close relationship with many property management companies on Hong Kong Island due to its business.
The most pitiful thing is that the power station is long-legged, and I am not afraid of the low-cost strategy of HK Electric and CLP Power at all, the market really can't beat Lao Tzu to start the engine and change places is a good man, as a typical listed company, how long can HK Electric and CLP Power maintain unprofitable?
The stock price of listed companies is expected to be in the future, and there are power generation ships that can come back at any time to disrupt the situation in the periphery, and the stock prices of these two power companies cannot be high.
The two companies have studied for several days, and they have not come up with a way to deal with it, and the other party will not be afraid of the lawsuit at all, not to mention that people do not compete in the industry at all, no matter how strong you are, you have no place to call, and in the end, if you can't solve it by commercial means, you can only rely on off-board moves, and then a series of articles that try to tie up public opinion are officially released.
This time, Liwan Energy held a drinking party, although it was the opponent Victor, he still decided to come to the scene to get the first-hand materials, in case any miracle happened.
The two brothers were talking about Liwan Energy, and the editors-in-chief of "Oriental Daily" and "Cheng Pao" turned from the cold area of the buffet to the Li brothers.
As a Hong Kong Island media, it is natural to know where the recent public opinion turmoil about coal power originated, and since you see the financiers behind the scenes, it is not good to turn a blind eye and ignore it directly.
"When did Director Li come over, it hasn't been five minutes since I walked away from here. ”
Victor is the deputy chairman of the board of directors and the marketing director of HK Electric, and Chairman Li is generally the proxy name of Victor's Lao Tzu, and Victor likes to refer to himself as the director of HK Electric when interviewed
The editor-in-chief of the Oriental Daily greeted Victor with a smile.
"I've just arrived, too. ”
"Who is this~~?"
"Brother She, not long after I came back from North America, I happened to meet the opening reception in Liwan and brought everyone together, so I came over to watch the excitement together. ”
After the greetings, the topic will inevitably shift to the landlord Liwan Energy, but this kind of occasion is definitely not suitable for slapping the table and scolding the other party's bastards.
The behind-the-scenes family of "Oriental Daily" started from white powder, and the behind-the-scenes shareholders of "Cheng Pao" have a deep 4V background.
"After leaving, Yihe came to Liwan, and our place is also the front door to drive away tigers and back doors to enter wolves. ”
"I really don't know what the British think, back then Hutchison was so good that the real money refused, but to gamble on an illusory opportunity. ”
These two editors-in-chief are engaged in entertainment, and they do not know much about the field of communications, which represents a new era, so they naturally do not understand the future of Deutsche Telekom.
However, fortunately, Jardine Matheson was very powerful in the aftermath of Shunchang's rebellion on Hong Kong Island, and Liwan avoided the bad consequences of squatting with Secretary Ji.
Several people held wine glasses in a small circle and waited for the reception to officially begin, and the big brother Weng who was placed on the small bar by the editor-in-chief of "Oriental Daily" buzzed and vibrate.
"Sorry, I answered the phone call. ”
After the editor-in-chief of the "Oriental Daily" apologized, the big brother with a brick walked seven or eight meters away from the small circle of conversation and pressed the answer button.
"Well, I've already come in, yes, the party hasn't started yet. ”
"Guest, I'm almost there. ”
"Qilianshan of the United Trust? There is no one here at the venue. ”
"What are you talking about? Qi Lianshan is not the new boss of Jardine?"
"Or are you here with the rejuvenated Hepburn?" Jingjie Liu, I asked you to stare at the door of the hotel, you shouldn't have made an old mistake and went to Lan Kwai Fong to drink now, right?"
"No, you didn't drink, how did you say that the donkey's lips were not right?"
"Do you dare to swear that it's true? Do you think I'm a good deceitful editor-in-chief? Hurry up and get back to the hotel door to catch the news, otherwise you'll look good tomorrow." ”
After the editor-in-chief of "Oriental Daily" finished speaking, he decisively hung up the phone of his subordinates.
Although there was a constant stream of people coming and going at the reception, the sound of everyone's conversation was not loud, limited to the poor sound quality and signal of Big Brother, and the remarks of the editor-in-chief of "Oriental Daily" were almost heard by the small circle here.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm making jokes, it's a lot of pressure to do news, and a reporter down there drank too much and said a lot of drunken things. ”
"I sound like I have Hepburn's name, your reporter is a fan of Hepburn, right?"
As a peer, the editor-in-chief of "Cheng Pao" thinks this is a rare lace news.
"I didn't know if it was before, but now it seems to be, he told me that Qi Lianshan and the two rejuvenated Audrey Hepburns got out of the car at the door of the hotel together, and said that Qi Lianshan helped Hepburn open the door like a secretary, swore that what he just saw was true, and asked me if I saw it here. ”
"Hahaha~~"
"Hehehe~~"
The logic is drunk like this, what kind of drink is not too much, everyone in the small circle laughed.
"Hey, Qi Lianshan is here, and Niu Bijian is also here, doesn't it mean that Niu Bijian went to the mainland to negotiate?"
"It should be a special trip back, Liwan is the first step in the strategy of Niubi Jianda Jardine, and he will definitely not be absent on this occasion. ”
"Li Zhengjiang also came out, haha, it's rare to see Li Zhengjiang walking behind others, but it's a pity that you won't be allowed to bring a camera at the drinking party, which is good news if you take it. ”
With Jardine's economic status on Hong Kong Island, although there are many opponents, there are more small and medium-sized rich people who rely on Jardine Matheson to live, Qi Lianshan and Niu Bijian greeted each other all the way, and the two kept waving their hands to the reserved spokesman position in the middle of the venue, while Li Zhengjiang stood behind the two of them.
Taking the microphone handed over by the waiter, Qi Lianshan cleared his throat and said very bluntly: "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in the group's cocktail party, I won't say any extra gratitude, I announce that Hong Kong Island Liwan Energy Group was officially established." ”
The opening remarks were made by Chairman Jardine Matheson. ”
Qi Lianshan handed the microphone to Niu Bijian beside him very neatly, turned around and left the position where he spoke, and walked into the seafood area of the buffet next to Victoria Bay.
Niu Bijian took the microphone and did not speak English, but said in his strange tone of Chinese: "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I have the privilege of seeing the birth of a great company on this charming night." ”
"As the first step in the revival of the Great Jardine Project, I firmly believe that Liwan Energy will grow into a legendary enterprise that is still full of vitality over the past 100 years. ”
Niu Bijian's opening speech was also very short, poured a few words of chicken soup, looked forward to the future, and turned around and walked to Li Zhengjiang's side.
"Welcome Li Zheng*** of Liwan Energy and introduce you to this company that is destined to become a legend. ”
Handing the microphone to Li Zhengjiang with a smile, Niu Bijian turned around and went to the seafood area of the cocktail party that Qi Lianshan had just walked over.
It stands to reason that the establishment of Liwan Energy is the first major move after the restructuring of Jardine Matheson, and the speeches of Qi Lianshan and Niu Bijian should not be so concise.
The problem is that the boss and the proprietress who ruthlessly cracked down on nonsense within Yuanjia came to the scene, even if it was to brush up the impression score, Qi Lianshan and Niu Bijian would not talk endlessly.
What's more, Liang Yuan's liking for seafood has long been known within the executives of Yuanjia, and he has been talking on stage for a long time, and the seafood area of the cocktail party is so place, and it is difficult to say whether there is a place to accompany the big boss to eat.
Although the speeches of Qi Lianshan and Niu Bijian were short, the wisdom beads in their words and the confident temperament were like substance, and this way of speaking without following the routine left a deep impression on the audience.
However, Li Zhengjiang's speech is more traditional, which is very in line with the routine of large enterprises on Hong Kong Island.
Li Zhengjiang first talked about China Gas, and after talking about the status of China Gas on Hong Kong Island, he began to introduce the main business and prospects of Liwan Energy.
As expected, the Li brothers heard a series of unwanted words in Li Zhengjiangkou, such as natural gas power generation ships and power transmission and distribution projects.
Except for people related to the power industry, no one else thinks that there is anything special about natural gas power generation ships, nor do they expect that the current coal power discussion in the media on Hong Kong Island is actually a prelude to this large-scale competition.
Li Zhengjiang spoke for about five or six minutes, and then stopped talking in time and announced the official start of the reception.
Western-style cocktail parties have always been one of the best business and social occasions, and with the opening of the reception, Hong Kong Island movie stars, who are accompanied by many Hong Kong Island rich and celebrities, have also begun to come alive, and their dutiful cameos have played the role of social lubricants.
After Li Zhengjiang announced the start of the reception, the small circle of Sima Changkun and Er Li dispersed, and few people would miss this rare opportunity to expand their contacts in vain.
As the editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily, one of the major newspapers on Hong Kong Island, Sima Changkun's social contacts are still very wide, and Sima Changkun has bumped into at least seven or eight acquaintances from the dessert area to the cold food area.
"Whether it's finance or gossip, it's a paradise for the media. ”
Looking at the Hong Kong Island tycoons in suits and leather shoes at the reception, and the Hong Kong Island actresses competing around him, Sima Changkun, the editor-in-chief of "Oriental Daily", sighed very satisfied while filling his stomach with salad.
"Brother Sima, what are you doing hiding here alone?"
"Brother Sima is good. ”
"Hey, when did you come here, Master Wei, you are also a beautiful woman. ”
Sima Changkun turned his head to look, Wei Zhen, who was dressed in a beige suit, and Li Jiaxin, a well-known beauty on Hong Kong Island, walked over with their arms in arm.
