Chapter Eighty-Nine: Meeting Old Man Huo
Bidding farewell to General Xiong, Lin Cheng came to the box where Old Man Huo was. For Huo Yingdong's summons, Lin Cheng was very worried in his heart, in his past and present lives, how could he have been in close contact with such a powerful person!
On the other hand, the old man Huo paid great attention to Lin Cheng's arrival, not only Huo Zhenting and Huo Qigang, the father and son, went out to greet each other, but the moment Lin Cheng entered the door, the old man Huo also stood up and personally beckoned Lin Cheng to take a seat, which made Lin Cheng flattered for a while.
Obviously, Old Man Huo's courtesy to Lin Cheng was too big, so big that it made Lin Cheng panic. However, Lin Cheng also has self-knowledge, this courtesy is not for Lin Cheng, but for the wealthy class in the mainland that Lin Cheng represents.
As the saying goes, when you are courteous, you must ask for something, Lin Cheng figured out after a while, the reason why Old Man Huo greeted him with a big gift must have something to do by himself.
Of course, even if this is the case, Lin Cheng is also willing, after all, compared with Old Man Huo, Lin Cheng's coffee seat is too small, in Lin Cheng's mind, Old Man Huo can ask him to do something, that is Old Man Huo gave himself face, and others can't ask for it.
"Mr. Lin, please take a seat. Old Man Huo said enthusiastically.
"Huo Lao is polite, just call me Xiaolin. Lin Cheng said flatteredly.
The box where Mr. Huo is located is very comfortable and luxurious, and the interior decoration is mainly dark yellow, which looks rich and atmospheric. This kind of luxury box is specially reserved by the Grand Hyatt Hotel for Mr. Huo, and many wealthy people in Xiangjiang have their favorite hotel royal boxes, such as Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, Shao Liushu and other rich people, they also have their own royal boxes at the Peninsula Hotel.
Sitting across the table, Old Man Huo said kindly to Lin Cheng: "Xiaolin, you must have not eaten dinner yet, I asked the chef here to fry a few plates of specialty dishes, I don't know if it suits your taste, try it." ”
Lin Cheng should have been very nervous when he met Old Man Huo for the first time, but Old Man Huo was so kind to him that he unconsciously remembered his deceased grandfather, so he gradually relaxed, plus he was really hungry when he was young and long, and he really ate and drank in front of Old Man Huo.
This scene made the old man Huo very happy, the old man Huo has been in the mountains for decades, in addition to achieving huge wealth and status, he gradually lost the joy of being with his family, and his son and grandson became restrained, and now he suddenly saw Lin Cheng eating and drinking freely in front of him, but it made him suddenly lick the calf, and frequently picked up vegetables for Lin Cheng.
Huo Zhenting and Huo Qigang were stunned by Old Man Huo's actions, when they got along with Old Man Huo, they seemed to see their own leaders, and they rarely had a sense of relaxation, and they trembled every time, where had they ever seen such a kind side of Old Man Huo, and the scene of Old Man Huo picking vegetables for Lin Cheng made the father and son extremely envious, jealous and hateful.
It is true that they have also enjoyed the treatment of Old Man Huo personally serving them vegetables, but this experience dates back to their childhood, since they were sensible, Old Man Huo has never been so kind to them.
After Lin Cheng was full of wine and food, Huo Qigang said to him sourly: "Lin Sheng, for so many years, you are the only junior who can let my grandfather personally pick up the dishes, to be honest, I am a little jealous." ”
Lin Cheng wiped the oil and water on his mouth with a napkin, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Huo, as soon as I saw Old Man Huo, it was like seeing my own parents, I just felt very kind, and I unconsciously made a rude thing, which is really ashamed." ”
Old Man Huo waved his hand and said with a smile: "No rudeness, no rudeness, looking at Xiaolin's gluttonous appearance of eating, my appetite was also opened by him, and I ate half a bowl of rice more than usual, hahahaha!"
Huo Zhenting and Huo Qigang looked at each other when they heard this, and they both felt helpless, it seems that this old man Huo and Lin Cheng are Wang Ba looked at mung beans and closed their eyes.
Old man Huo asked the maid to pour tea for Lin Cheng again, and the interesting things that happened on the mainland while the two of them chatting about tea were extremely warm and harmonious, which made Huo Zhenting and Huo Qigang feel that we are outsiders compared to the two of you, and they are very sad.
Of course, the reason why Old Man Huo called Lin Cheng over with great fanfare was naturally not to brag and fart with him, but to really have something to ask, after drinking two cups of tea, Old Man Huo returned to the topic and asked, "Xiaolin, do you know why I called you over?"
Lin Cheng scratched his head, and suddenly said in his heart: "Could it be about the Southeast Asian financial crisis?"
Old Man Huo nodded: "I've noticed you since you became famous in the Thai financial crisis, so I want to ask you for your views on the current financial crisis that is getting worse and worse." ”
After some small talk, Old Man Huo and Lin Cheng have begun to get acquainted, and Old Man Huo no longer beats around the bush, but asks directly.
Lin Cheng was exactly what he expected, thinking that he was just a small nouveau riche who had just risen, how could He De be favored by Old Man Huo? It was nothing more than the precise vision he showed when the Thai financial crisis broke out.
Lin Cheng pondered the sentence for a while, and said: "The financial crisis originating from Thailand will become more and more intense, and finally form a huge storm that swept across Xiangjiang, Baodao, Japan, South Korea and even Russia, I think Xiangjiang should also be prepared for a rainy day, after the financial turmoil ravages Southeast Asia, the next target of Soros is likely to be the Asian Tigers." ”
Old Man Huo suddenly heard that the financial turmoil would spread to Xiangjiang, and his body couldn't help but lean forward, and asked in a deep voice: "You said that the financial turmoil will spread to Xiangjiang, what is the reason?"
Huo Zhenting and Huo Qigang also lost their ease when they heard such a major problem, and their faces became extremely solemn, of course, they still had reservations about Lin Cheng's judgment, after all, it was the golden age of Xiangjiang's economy in the fast lane!
Lin Cheng pondered for a long time, and then slowly replied: "Asian countries are basically export-oriented economic countries, and they are very dependent on the world market. Especially in recent years, the economic development of Southeast Asian countries has been too fast, too much attention has been paid to the development of finance and real estate market, and the construction of the real economy has been neglected.
Lin Cheng then said: "In addition, the financial markets and currencies of most of our Asian countries are extremely dependent on the performance of the US dollar, it can be said that the rise and fall of life and death are manipulated in the hands of US imperialism, and there is no defense against US imperialism, and in the past ten years, the economy of our Asian countries has been developing rapidly, and all governments have earned a good foundation, which is like a three-year-old child holding gold in the city, Soros must have been greedy for a long time!"
