Chapter 440: I knew now, why bother in the first place
Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile: "How can it be, Guo Lao is a celebrity in Hong Kong, and has done many good deeds for the children in the mainland, I have always admired you, besides, at your age, it is more than enough to be my grandfather." β
"Okay, just have your words. When the auction is over, you must come to my house to play. During the Double Ninth Festival, I originally planned to go to congratulate Chief Nie, but his old man didn't want us businessmen to go, so I just gave up, his old man is still in good health? I heard that he had an operation a few days ago and took out the bullets in his body?" Guo Lao asked very enthusiastically while holding Zhang Tianyuan's hand.
"Grandpa Nie, his body is tough, and after the bullet is taken out, the whole person is even healthier. Now the work has resumed. Zhang Tianyuan replied.
"Okay! That's good! I'm feeling a little powerless now, Chief Nie is worthy of being a soldier. When you have time, you must go to the mainland and have a good chat with Chief Nie. Guo Lao said again.
In fact, Mr. Nie and Mr. Guo are really not familiar with each other, that is, they have met a few times and talked about something, maybe Mr. Guo respects Mr. Nie very much, but Mr. Nie has seen a lot of rich businessmen, and he may not remember Mr. Guo so clearly.
But Zhang Tianyuan can't say that at this time, between these people, even if you have forgotten what the other party's name is, you have to pretend to be very familiar.
"Okay, if Guo Lao goes to the mainland, he can contact me directly, and I will take you to see Grandpa Nie!" It's completely down and generous.,It's like a peer relationship.γ
But Zhang Tianyuan is like this. That's because I've seen a lot of big people, so I'm not nervous. But many of you here know Guo Lao's status in Hong Kong. Even if he is not the richest man, when it comes to social status and political status, he is better than Li Shoufu.
Guo Lao, no matter in terms of age, qualifications or wealth, is a well-known figure in Hong Kong, even if Li Shoufu is also present today, he deserves the respect of Li Shoufu. When Guo Lao went to the mainland before, he had seen many central leaders, and Old Man Nie was one of them. Hearing that Guo Laodu has such respect for Old Man Nie. Those who have never seen Old Man Nie are even more strange in their hearts.
It's not that they don't know the identity of Old Man Nie, but they haven't seen him before, so they are inevitably a little curious.
"Hahaha, not only to see Old Man Nie, but also to discuss business with your little friend. Although I am not in the jewelry business, I am very interested in jewelry and antiques. When will you carve a few things for the old man?" Guo Lao laughed.
"My slight technology, I'm afraid that Guo Lao won't be able to look down on it. β
"Don't say that, even Commander Nie said yes. That's certainly not going to be bad. Besides, the set of jewelry you designed was personally processed, and I am also very satisfied, and it is absolutely okay at that level. Guo Lao said with a smile.
"Oh well. If you have the opportunity, you will definitely serve. β
Zhang Tianyuan is not a professional carver after all, this is just his hobby, and he is an ordinary person. He may not agree, but Guo Lao is not an ordinary person after all. Just because he's not scared doesn't mean he's disrespectful. For people like Guo Lao, if you can make friends, it is best to make friends, and it will be convenient to do anything in Hong Kong in the future
As they chatted, the auction naturally stopped, and the people below were already discussing.
"Sure enough, it's the grandson of the old man Nie, but it seems to be a godgrandson!"
"What's wrong with my grandson, sometimes it's better than my family, and people in the past value this. β
"Yes, yes, that's right, and this old man Nie is really famous!"
"No, who is this old man Nie you are talking about?" A young man couldn't help it, so he asked.
"Even Old Man Nie doesn't know? Veteran generals and chiefs who participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Aid to Korea, and the Vietnam War! When MacArthur heard the name of this old man Nie on the Korean battlefield, he would feel uncomfortable. Many of the United Nations forces died at the hands of the army led by this old man. β
"That's amazing!"
This old man has experienced major events such as the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Civil War, and the founding of the People's Republic of China, and has encountered ups and downs along the way, and has also encountered troubles, but he has survived all of them. Don't look at him who doesn't read much, but he can command readers. When he reformed, reformed, opened and released, he made great contributions, and now he is also a well-known figure in the center, even if he is the No. 1 leader, he has to give a few thin noodles when he sees him, and call him 'Nie Lao'. β
Even the auctioneer became interested, put the auction aside, and listened to the chat. These people are curious about Zhang Tianyuan, but they are even more curious about the relationship between Zhang Tianyuan and Old Man Nie, so they are really a little incomprehensible, how can Old Man Nie be such a wise and martial person, how can he recognize such a godgrandson? Is Zhang Tianyuan also have any special life experience?
Of course, Old Man Nie's prestige is not blown out, and these people don't understand the war, so they are just confused. However, when it comes to construction and the economy, they understand that Old Man Nie and Deng Gong have been to the United States, Japan, and Nanxun for on-the-spot inspections.
At that time, several high-achieving students who were admitted to Shendu University and National University of Geosciences were considered to be the protΓ©gΓ©s of Old Man Nie, and they have always been related to each other, even if they are in important positions, they have not forgotten to contact Old Man Nie.
This living room is about 200 square meters, in fact, it is not big, but there are a lot of people. You must know that even outside, many times the rumors spread very quickly, and what you just said today may have spread throughout the city in the afternoon
Now people can walk back and forth in the living room, and there are waiters carrying trays, and the atmosphere is also very relaxed. This one asks. That answer, and soon everyone will know about these things.
Zhang Tianyuan, this kid is actually the godgrandson of the famous old man Nie. And he is also the godgrandson whom Old Man Nie loves very much, and is closer than his own grandson. That's a big deal. No wonder this young man is so bold and arrogant at the charity auction. At this time, many people looked at Zhang Tianyuan's gaze, which was a little complicated, after all, this is not a trivial matter.
Especially the young people who didn't have time to have a relationship with Zhang Tianyuan before, they also regretted it a little at this time.
You must know that since the return of Hong Kong in 97, the exchanges between the two places have been many times more than before 97, and almost all the business tentacles of all families in Hong Kong have extended to various provinces in the mainland. Mainland businessmen have also occupied a large number of markets in Hong Kong, and their tentacles are also spread all over Hong Kong. In the past, mainlanders did not know about Hong Kong. Hong Kong people don't know much about the mainland, but over the years, this sense of distance has become much smaller, because the Hong Kong and Macao permits are still very easy to obtain, and it is much more convenient to go to Hong Kong than in the past, and it is relatively easier to get from Hong Kong to the mainland.
Many Hong Kong businessmen have made a lot of money by relying on the vast market of the mainland, and they often come back to the mainland for tourism, and so on. I also have a very clear understanding of the social form and political system in the hinterland, and I no longer think that I always feel hazy and vague as I did in the past.
The mainland and Hong Kong are different in many places. But one thing is very similar, that is, it is all about human feelings and connections. No matter what you do. All pay attention to personal relationships. In those days, many mainlanders fled to Hong Kong because of unity. Doing business by twisting into a rope, many people finally made a fortune. These people regard this kind of favor and connections as something more important than money.
It's the same in the mainland, sometimes if you don't have connections, you want to use sugar-coated shells, and you don't know how to launch them and who to launch them. In the early years, no matter whether you were buying land, doing business, or doing anything, what you couldn't do with money, someone might be able to do it with a phone call. You must know that the chief designer Deng Gong has also called many big businessmen, and it only works if this kind of person with status or official position makes a call.
This is the so-called circle of contacts, officialdom capital, especially in the mainland.
Those who are rich are not as powerful as those who are powerful, and those who are in business are not as good as those who are officials. This was the golden rule in the past. There are many privileges of officials, they can even hold the power alone, as long as you have a good relationship with these people, in fact, it doesn't cost much, they can get things done for you in one sentence, sometimes it may be a small gift, a thoughtful word, this thing is done.
Many wealthy people from the mainland who go to Hong Kong to do business, and then return to the mainland to do things after they have become developed, are well versed in the Tao, so the first thing these people do when they come to the mainland is to find some real power figures in the mainland, or family figures to make friends, send antiques, jewelry, and even money, and do everything they can.
Although Old Man Nie is upright, and he is not short of money to spend, it is not easy to bribe him, but Old Man Nie is a very affectionate person, and many people use this to have a relationship with him, and it is still the case.
Let's just say that Nie Qinglan went to the UK from Hong Kong that time, and at that time, more than half of the young sons and young ladies in Hong Kong came to say goodbye to her. Some people don't know each other at all, and they just come to join in the fun, get to know each other, and make friends.
and Nie Zhen, the last time he traveled to Hong Kong with Ye Yulan, the auction of a set of jewelry of the last queen was let by these people, otherwise, Nie Zhen would have to spend a lot of money. If nothing else, let's just talk about these people, Zheng Jiayi and Li Nanting have a good relationship with Nie Qinglan and Nie Zhen, which is not particularly good, but they can definitely be said to be friends.
Nie Zhen likes to make friends, and naturally Li Nanting likes it too, but Nie Zhen has no purpose in making friends, as long as he can look at it. At the beginning, Zhang Tianyuan was also a small businessman, but Nie Zhen did not have the slightest intention of looking down on him. But Li Nanting is different, Li Nanting made friends with a purpose, and made friends with Nie Zhen purely to get on the big boat of the Nie family.
Now that Li Nanting is repentant, why did he ask Zhang Tianyuan more at that time, if he asked a few more words, he would be able to figure out Zhang Tianyuan's specific identity, and he would not be as cold as now. Fortunately, he didn't make a feud with Zhang Tianyuan, otherwise, the relationship with Nie Zhen that he had managed to get together would have been ruined.
is different from him is Zheng Jiayi, Zheng Jiayi was introduced by Wang Siyuan before, and she thought that she could cooperate with Zhang Tianyuan in business, so she had a good talk with Zhang Tianyuan, and now she is happy in her heart. (To be continued......)
