Chapter 232: A Game Within a Game
Yanjing City, Haidian District.
As soon as he walked into the VIP box of the Century Jinyuan Hotel, Ren Pingsheng saw a lot of familiar faces, Zhen Yueting, a rising entrepreneur in Nanshan Province, Wei Chenggang, the host of China Television, and Xiang Min, a private entrepreneur in Huacheng, sat at the top, of course, there was the big brother Feng Yan, because this dinner was initiated by him.
After the last outdoor development course, this was the first spontaneous gathering of the EMBA president class of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, so Ren Pingsheng immediately flew to Yanjing to attend the meeting after receiving a call from Feng Yan.
Because Ren Pingsheng said goodbye and left ahead of schedule at that event in Bailong Lake, he was ordered by Feng Yan to punish himself with three cups as soon as he entered the venue.
Zhen Yueting took the initiative to put a small note next to Ren Pingsheng, which contained the fragrant Moutai, and he grinned: "Mr. Ren, you are from the south, can you drink this wine, if you can't drink it, you can change it." ”
"It's okay, that's it. ”
Ren Pingsheng waved his hand and thanked Zhen Yueting for his kindness.
At the dinner, either you don't drink a drop at all, or you have to drink refreshingly, Ren Pingsheng doesn't want to leave the impression of a mother-in-law.
"Thank you for your love, being able to get to know you is the biggest gain for Ren this time. ”
Ren Pingsheng raised his glass and said, his words ushered in a burst of applause from his classmates.
Feeling the enthusiasm of his classmates, coupled with the fact that he did not attend class activities much, Ren Pingsheng couldn't refuse, so he had to drink three glasses of liquor in a row.
After three cups of Moutai were in his stomach, he suddenly felt a burst of heat in his stomach, and before Ren Pingsheng could recover from it, Feng Yan grabbed him and introduced him to several distinguished guests at the table.
In today's bureau, in addition to a few old classmates in the EMBA class, there are also a few unfamiliar faces.
One is a man from the north with a square face, big ears and rimless glasses, who is said to be the vice president of the Hong Kong company of the China National Petroleum Group, named Li Linghua. Although he looks very gentle, he speaks with a loud voice and a tough tone, and he looks like a commanding man, and everyone at the table respects him.
The other is a woman, saying that she is a woman, but she is not much different from a man. The height alone is nearly 1.8 meters, and the weight is also 180 pounds, with short hair and broad facial features, which are combined with the word "big".
Except for the two large pieces on her chest and the floral clothes she was wearing, she really couldn't tell that she was a woman.
This woman's name is Ding Shuyu, and she is said to be a businessman, but judging from her dress and temperament, she can't tell what kind of business she runs, and she can't see what she has about it.
But such an unremarkable woman can appear at such a dinner, which shows that she has strong resources, or that the person behind her has strong resources.
While observing, Ren Pingsheng took turns to toast a round of wine, and also exchanged business cards with everyone present.
Feng Lun is the protagonist of the dinner, he is like a river, witty words, one moment to talk about the current ambassadors at home and abroad, another time to talk about the gossip between entrepreneurs, the whole situation is driven by him, and he is happy.
Feng Yan talked around, and the topic turned to Ren Pingsheng again.
"Mr. Ren, your comrade can't stand the test. ”
"Just after the first night of the outdoor development of our president class, you slipped away, which is a sign of escape in the army. ”
Ren Pingsheng replied with a smile:
"The enemy's firepower is too fierce, but our side still retains its vital strength, and it is not too late to fight back in the future. ”
As soon as he said this, the men present all smiled heartily, and each remembered their encounter in the EMBA president class.
Feng Yan shook his head and said disappreciatively:
"I thought you were a chengguan, but I didn't expect you to be afraid of demolition. ”
Everyone laughed out loud, clearly remembering the conversation at the party at Bailong Lake that night.
Ren Pingsheng laughed, although he didn't mind being ridiculed, he still quickly transferred his firepower and said:
"What do I have to be afraid of, I'm not married, I don't have a family, and I can't tear it down. ”
Xiang Min sighed and said:
"It's good not to be married, you don't have to worry about being managed, you don't have to worry about being divided, getting married is like buying a new car, the value will be depreciated by half on the day you get the license, and you will lose money if you get divorced. ”
The businesswoman Ding Shuyu raised a hand, and wore a lot of gold rings on her chubby fingers like radish, and the gold rings were inlaid with red, green, and blue gemstones, and she said in a loud voice:
"People look at my fingers, and think how many times I have been married, in fact, my mother has always been single, when I was poor before, others looked down on my mother, but now that my mother is developed, I still can't look down on them. ”
Zhen Yueting cheered on the side:
"Sister Ding, you are so awesome now, it is not easy to get a man, those little boys in the song and dance troupe and the performing arts academy, how many do you want. ”
Ding Shuyu was noncommittal to Zhen Yueting's words, she looked at her hands full of rings and said:
"The little white faces you mentioned have no connotation and temperament, and the old lady has long passed the era of looking at faces. ”
"My sister now likes knowledgeable, educated, and talented men the most, and of course she has to be handsome, just like our big host. ”
Ding Shuyu grinned, pretended to be a self-righteous smile, and threw a wink at Wei Chenggang.
Although her dignity and tone are matched with this oral tone, normal people will avoid it, but Wei Chenggang did not maintain a high profile as before, accepted Ding Shuyu's flattering eyes, and also helped her toast very intimately.
Although he couldn't see where Ding Shuyu was, he also saw that many people at this dinner were familiar with each other.
Moreover, Zhen Yueting, Ding Shuyu, Li Linghua, and Wei Chenggang are not only familiar with each other, but also have a special relationship in private.
Especially Zhen Yueting, who looks inconspicuous and has no outstanding performance, always looks happy, like an old farmer in Nanshan, but he is present at every important dinner party, and he has his role.
And although Zhen Yueting is not obvious, Ding Shuyu, Li Linghua, and Wei Chenggang dare not snub him.
The more you watch this game, the more interesting it becomes.
Ren Pingsheng was thinking about it, but Zhen Yueting led the topic to him.
"Mr. Ren, I heard that you just spent 1 billion yuan to get a piece of land in Hanhai, which is really a big deal. ”
Looking at Zhen Yueting's honest smiling face, Ren Pingsheng thought to himself, here, the main dish of this bureau is coming.
"I also cooperated with others to develop this place, which is still quite difficult. ”
Ren Pingsheng responded in a hypocritical manner.
"Yes, don't look at real estate is so hot now, in fact, this money is not very profitable. ”
Zhen Yueting said with emotion.
Ren Pingsheng originally thought that Zhen Yueting brought up this topic in order to talk to him about land development cooperation and the like, but he didn't expect that he didn't go in this direction, which made him a little surprised, could he have guessed wrong?
Feng Lun got involved in this topic in a timely manner:
"Don't look at the housing prices that are so high now, China's residents' income growth can't keep up, and housing prices will come down sooner or later. ”
Different from other real estate tycoons, Feng Lun has always been optimistic about China's housing prices as the main argument in the media, so he has received positive comments from public opinion in previous real estate regulation, and has a great influence in the "downturn faction" who is optimistic about China's housing prices.
However, China's housing price development has repeatedly run counter to Feng Lun's remarks, and the wave of increases has not only slapped the "bearish" in the face, but also made the buyers who hold on to the currency pay a greater price.
Although Feng Lun's Wantong Real Estate started very early and developed rapidly, it did not catch up in the real estate tide in the future, and was not only left behind by Wanke Real Estate, which started at the same time, but also surpassed by rising stars such as Wande, Hengda, and Bijuyuan.
However, at this point in time, Feng Lunhe's remarks of the "declining faction" are still very marketable.
Xiang Min, whose main business is furniture processing, nodded and said:
"The real economy is not easy to do, the hard work of opening factories, talking about orders, and the few money earned are not as good as a price limit in the stock market. ”
When it comes to the stock market, everyone present is excited, this year's A-share market makes everyone proud, the Han Securities Index has soared from 2,700 points at the beginning of the year to 5,500 points at present, doubling in eight months, and the vast majority of stocks have more than doubled, making shareholders make a lot of money.
Among these people, Feng Yan and Xiang Min both have a listed company, and their worth has also risen a lot, and they have enough confidence to speak.
Although Zhen Yueting also has a listed company, his Zhongxun company is listed in Singapore, and he has not been touched by the sharp rise in A-shares, so there is always some envy in his eyes.
Ren Pingsheng drank a few more glasses of liquor today, although the Moutai at this dinner was genuine, but he usually didn't drink much liquor, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach at this time, so he excused himself to go to the toilet, avoided the focus of everyone's conversation, and walked outside the box for a walk.
He hadn't taken a few steps down the oval staircase when footsteps could be heard behind him.
"Mr. Ren, Mr. Ren, are you okay?"
Zhen Yueting walked over with a concerned face, and he reached out to support Ren Pingsheng.
"I'm fine, I just want to blow the wind, Mr. Zhen, don't worry. ”
Although Ren Pingsheng declined his kindness, this Zhen Yueting had the strength not to give up, he insisted on helping Ren Pingsheng to sit in the hotel lobby, and then went to the shopping mall next door to buy a box of Neptune gold bottles, and persuaded Ren Pingsheng to take it on the spot.
Although Ren Pingsheng has always been wary of this person because of Zhen Yueting's bad reputation in his previous life, he is too polite, and Ren Pingsheng can't refuse his courtesy, so he has to accept his kindness.
After taking the Sea King Golden Bottle, Ren Pingsheng's state was a little better, and he said embarrassedly:
"Mr. Zhen, I'll sit down and go up, you go back first, it's okay. ”
But Zhen Yueting didn't stop there, he continued to stay as if he wanted to talk to Ren Pingsheng about something, and gossiped with him for a while, before he spoke:
"Mr. Ren, I heard that you have an online game company called Universal Games, are you planning to go public?"
Although Ren Pingsheng's strength was not gone, he could also hear the tentative meaning in Zhen Yueting's words.
He nodded and replied:
"Yes, I plan to list on the NASDAQ by the end of this year or next year. ”
Zhen Yueting slapped his knee and shouted:
"Oh, such a good company, why go abroad to go public, and make money for foreign devils, how cost-effective. ”
Ren Pingsheng smiled and said:
"That's no way, there are too many restrictions on domestic A-shares, and it's difficult for a company like me to go public. ”
Zhen Yueting suddenly calmed down at this time, and he smiled and said:
"Actually, it's not difficult, it is said that the GEM is about to open. ”
This time, Ren Pingsheng was taken aback.
GEM is a very special term in China's stock market, as early as 1999 or so the idea of setting up a GEM was put forward in China, and shareholders also regarded GEM as a good channel for domestic innovative enterprises to go public, but due to the impact of the bursting of the bubble in technology stocks in 2000, the GEM has been postponed construction, during which it has experienced 3 chairmen of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and the GEM of the A-share market has not been able to make the trip.
However, the word "GEM" came out of the mouth of an inconspicuous private entrepreneur in Nanshan Province, far from the political and financial center, which is shocking.
Those who can get this kind of information in advance either have a great background or have their own channels in the securities regulatory department.
It seems that this Zhen Yueting is really not simple, and the "fast vision network" operated by his later generations can call for wind and rain in the A-share market and be unimpeded, and it is by no means without reason.
Zhen Yueting obviously didn't know what Ren Pingsheng was thinking, so he continued to talk about the topic.
"I happen to know some people who have a lot of energy, including politicians, financial circles, and regulators, and they want to build a leading enterprise with the concept of the Internet in China, and then list on the GEM. ”
"As long as we join forces, with the support of these people, and the A-share market is so hot now, Mr. Ren, after your company is listed on the GEM, it will definitely skyrocket more than ten times, and you will earn more than U.S. stocks by then." ”
At this time, Zhen Yueting had already thrown away the sincerity that he had deliberately disguised, and began to weave a beautiful blueprint for the future with words.
It's just that as a reborn, Ren Pingsheng's information sources are wider and more accurate than Zhen Yueting's.
Although it is true that the GEM is about to debut as Zhen Yueting, the A-share market is not as strong as Zhen Yueting expected.
After this year, tomorrow will usher in a global financial turmoil, when not only the A-share market will be beaten back to the original point, but the appearance of the GEM will also be postponed to 2009.
Ren Pingsheng didn't want to wait until 2009 to go public, and he didn't want Zhen Yueting to get involved in his career.
So Ren Pingsheng politely rejected Zhen Yueting's suggestion.
Hearing Ren Pingsheng's reply, Zhen Yueting didn't have any disappointed look on his face, he just continued to tell Ren Pingsheng a few words before getting up and returning to the box.
Seeing Zhen Yueting's figure disappear at the top of the stairs, Ren Pingsheng got up and walked outside the door, and he was greeted by the hot evening breeze of Yanjing.
This time, he really didn't know if he was right or wrong to reject Zhen Yueting's approach.
