Lu Yuquan didn't guess wrong, in the next few days, the small hotel where Lei Jianjun lived was really a city.

All this, of course, is the face of the "CEFC Group".

After saying goodbye to the two Lu brothers, Lei Jianjun didn't do anything else after returning to the hotel, he just took out the business card given by Old Man Cai and made a phone call, and in the afternoon of the same day, two middle-aged men came to visit.

When the two came to visit, Li Huayong and Li Er were actually in Lao Lei's room, and they saw someone who was going to talk to Lao Lei, of course Li Huayong was inconvenient to be there, so he and Li Er were stunned and left.

Although Li Huayong left, he did not know what they had said later. However, Li Huayong, the two people who came over, recognized them, and Li Huayong was secretly surprised after recognizing them.

One of them is "Prince Rong", who is now the general manager of the "Huaxin Group" Xiangjiang Branch. Prince Rong, like his father, was personable, and another person who seemed to be unattractive made Li Huayong even more interested.

This person was Li Huayong, the chairman and general manager of the "CEFC Group", and there were few real experts in the financial industry and a big banker in China, and before he became the general manager of the "CEFC Group", he even served as the president of the head office of the China Construction Bank for two years.

Of course, these are not what Li Huayong is most interested in, what really interests him is this person's other identity: just five or six years ago, this person was still a professional chess player, one of the members of the Chinese national Go team, and in a certain year's national Go individual competition, he ranked third in the country after the old Nie Nie Weiping and another national player. It's just that after winning the third place that time, he chose to quit the national Go team and went to the United States to study, according to the time calculation, he should have just joined the "CEFC Group" not long ago.

To be honest, this is the reason why Li Huayong recognized this guy at a glance. As a die-hard Go fan, Li Huayong is very interested in all kinds of stories in the Go world, and this guy's life experience is certainly enough to attract Li Huayong's attention.

Since these two came, since that night, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to visit Lei Jianjun, one after another, which simply overwhelms Lao Lei.

Two more days passed, and on the evening of the third day, Lao Lei had no entertainment for the time being, and several mainlanders gathered together to chat, Lei Jianjun smiled bitterly at Li Huayong:

"Now it seems that 'Lu Kee Construction' may not be our partner. ”

Li Huayong said: "What about you, Manager Lei, what is your personal opinion?"

"I personally prefer to cooperate with this family, after all, Lao Lu is a good person, everyone cooperated happily when they were in the mainland, and the conditions for "Lu Ji Construction" in all aspects are also suitable. But you know, my personal opinion is useless in this matter, I can't call the shots in this matter, and my opinion doesn't even play a role as a reference. ”

Li Huayong nodded: "That's the same." ”

Li Huayong really didn't expect things to develop like this. He discussed with Lin Wei to prepare for the cooperation between "Huaxia Construction General" and "Lu Ji Construction", and his initial consideration was only to be more confident in passing the preliminary qualification examination at the time of bidding.

In other words, it's "thinking in terms of technology."

But now, China is obviously prepared to take advantage of this matter to play a role, and an ordinary business cooperation matter has become a matter of "taking sides." In the past two days, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to visit Lei Jianjun, and they are actually here to "stand in line".

And the thing of "standing in line", of course, is not something that Lei Jianjun's level can call the shots.

Li Huayong asked Lao Lei: "What is the opinion in China now?"

"I don't know, I'm getting an eight-word instruction right now. ”

"Which eight words?"

"Wait a little longer and keep waiting. ”

Li Huayong was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Oh, hahaha! Okay, then we will do things according to the instructions of the country, and wait and see what happens." Often, come on, come on, I'll ask you for a game of Go. ”

The "old man" in Li Huayong's mouth is, of course, the future chairman of the "CEFC Group". Since he and "Prince Rong" first appeared, Prince Rong has not appeared again, but this one has always stayed.

This current identity is actually equivalent to a "liaison". Lei Jianjun was almost present when he met any guest, so after a few days, everyone was already relatively familiar.

Of course, waiting is a very boring thing, so after listening to Li Huayong's suggestion to play Go, "Lao Chang" readily agreed.

If Li Huayong is interested in "Lao Chang", then the current "Lao Chang" is really more interested in Li Huayong. He couldn't figure it out, he heard that this person was just a migrant worker, how could this guy play Go so well?

Of course, this is not to say that "Lao Chang" discriminates against migrant workers, but in the era when there is no Internet, Go is very particular about "children's skills", and if you want to reach the professional level, you must go through long-term systematic training.

In the eyes of "Lao Chang", Li Huayong's Go has a professional level, so in his opinion, this is not scientific at all, and it is precisely because he feels that it is not scientific, so he is full of curiosity about Li Huayong.

"If you want to become a professional chess player, I guess the old Nie Ma is young, and they don't have to mix, and you still won't tell me, how did you learn chess?"

"Hehe, don't you care about this, I was born to know that I can't do it? It's boring to be a professional chess player, and playing Go is definitely not as promising as our engineering. Okay, let's not talk about that, by the way, what kind of chess are we now? It seems that I won one more game, so this game of chess is my black sticker for you 2 and a half. ”

If Li Huayong had traveled a few years earlier, maybe he would have really considered becoming a professional chess player. It's a pity that by the time Li Huayong crossed, the "alpha dog" had already come out, and in the case that people can't win the machine, then Go can only become Li Huayong's hobby, and he can't think about being a professional chess player.

In the past few days, Li Huayong and "Lao Chang" have practiced a lot of games. I remember that before playing the first game, when Li Huayong cautiously proposed to press "let first" to play the next game, "Lao Chang" felt that the migrant worker in front of him must be crazy, and this guy didn't know what the sky was high and the earth was thick at all. But when the two of them used the method of "two eyes and a half and one lift" to get off the N set, Li Huayong actually won one more game so far. Of course, this surprised "Lao Chang", and at the same time made him extremely curious about Li Huayong.

The two set up the chessboard and began to practice, and Lei Jianjun and Li Er were stunned and watched with great interest. Among the two people, Li Erzi knows a little about Go and belongs to entry-level enthusiasts, while Lao Lei doesn't understand it at all, but this does not affect their interest in watching, because this is one of the attributes of Go, it always seems to attract you unconsciously.

For the next nearly a week, everyone spent the waiting. Under normal circumstances, waiting would have been boring, but Li Huayong's life was not boring at all.

Because in addition to being able to practice Go with "Lao Chang", he also has Lin Lianhua.

"Ah Yong, let's go, I see that everyone is so bored, I invite everyone to visit our Lin factory......

"Ah Yong, let's go, I see that everyone is so boring, I invite everyone to go to so-and-so place for a walk......"

"Ah Yong, let's go, I see that everyone is so boring, I invite everyone to watch a movie......"

Regarding Lin Wei's other suggestions, Li Huayong is dispensable, but he is a little resistant to watching movies. Although it is now the golden age of Hong Kong films, almost all classic Hong Kong films Li Huayong has seen it in his previous life. And Li Huayong still likes to watch Chinese dubbing when watching Hong Kong films, and the original Hong Kong films look difficult.

"Eldest sister, can you not go to the movies?"

"And where do you want to go?"

"I actually wanted to go to Polan Street. ”

Lin Wei chased Li Huayong and fought. Lao Lei and Li Er were stunned, so "Lao Chang" explained to the two of them with a smile on the side. After understanding, Lei Jianjun couldn't cry or laugh:

"This kid. ”

After waiting for more than a week, there is finally a new move from the domestic side. However, this move is not a move by "Huaxia Construction General", but a move by Bank of China, as the owner of the Bank of China Building.

Bank of China once again published a large number of advertisements in the mainstream media in Hong Kong, announcing more detailed and specific bidding rules for the bidding of Bank of China Tower, such as the deadline for registration, the deadline for submitting bids, when the first round of preliminary examination will end, when the second round of bid evaluation will begin, etc.

The most important part of this is that Bank of China announced that they will entrust all the work of this bid evaluation to the "Jardine Matheson Surveyor Bank", which is affiliated to Standard Chartered Bank.

The "surveyor" in Xiangjiang is changed to the domestic name "actuary". And this institution is equivalent to the domestic "bid evaluation committee" in this bidding.

For example, this family and this family had all agreed to meet again today, but they all found various excuses to postpone or cancel the meeting. ”

"That's because they didn't fully understand the situation before. ”

"Lao Chang" explained to Lei Jianjun with a smile:

"When you first arrived in Xiangjiang, some people had a misunderstanding, they mistakenly thought that China would assign this project to you, so when we revealed that you were looking for a collaborator, of course many people would rush to it. But now ......"

But now, when they see the rules of the game, they know that China is determined to act in accordance with international practice this time. They think our odds are too small, and cooperating with us will become a chicken-like existence, so they will give up?"

"That's right, that's why. ”

In other words, is it true to "take sides" from now on?"

"That's exactly right, Lao Lei, you can get full marks for your political sensitivity. ”

In the second round of "taking sides", then of course, it will be time to really determine the collaborators.

However, as things developed, Li Huayong did not feel that the situation was clear, and the situation became more and more confusing.

Especially on this day, this is the second time Li Huayong has seen "Prince Rong" in Xiangjiang, and he noticed the person who walked with "Prince Rong".

Li Huayong didn't know this person, but what he noticed was a document bag in this person's hand. The four big characters on the document bag Li Huayong are very familiar.

These four big words are:

Cheung Kong Infrastructure.
