Chapter 0347 - Continued Bloodletting for Jardine
When the application was approved, Tang Huan, accompanied by his brother-in-law Han Anyuan, took a special plane from Yanjing to Base 20, which will open to the public in the next few years.
Built on an oasis in the Gobi Desert, the site is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has its own internal system, effectively equivalent to a small town.
In front of the tombstones of his parents in the martyr's cemetery, Tang Huan stood for a long time, silent.
The body occupied by the crippled soul of a grassroots IT engineer seemed to have a wonderful resonance of the unity of heaven and man, and even the sky was as pure as the crystal above his head.
After a long time, Tang Huan secretly sighed. This is the thought of the wish fulfilled.
Feeling that his skin was faintly painful from the sun, Tang Huan raised his wrist and looked at his watch, only to realize that the time spent in a daze here was not short.
He bowed, said goodbye, walked out of the cemetery, and came to Han Anyuan.
"I don't see it, you're quite sentimental." Han Anyuan looked Tang Huan up and down with concern, "How do you feel, the sun is so poisonous, you didn't suffer from heat stroke." β
"I'm not that squeamish yet." Tang Huan shook his head, "How are you asking?" β
"Although this is a military zone, when the site was originally selected for construction, a group of local residents were relocated, and a lot of supplies needed to be provided by Jiuquan, which is hundreds of miles away, so this base is not incapable of eating the fireworks of the world, but still involves a lot of civil interests."
Speaking of this, Han Anyuan laughed, "In other words, you, a capitalist, want to express your heart." It is entirely possible to find relevant units to receive them in a bright and open manner. β
"That's good. I finally feel better. Tang Huan also laughed.
After all, this is a confidential unit. Tang Huan didn't stay long, and soon returned to Yanjing, and then rushed to his hometown.
The Tang family and the Han family are fellow villagers of the same county, and Tang Huan also grew up here.
Tang Huan successively paid homage to his master, swept the grave of his fiancΓ©e for Zhou Mi, and visited the homes of Lu Xiaohu, Zheng Gang, Yang Qinglin, Wei Jun and other bodyguards.
Han Anyuan was also busy, and sighed: "In the past two days in the car, I have been bumpy and have back pain. Therefore, if you want to develop here, you must also build roads first. β
"If you are not in your position, you don't want to be in politics, you better worry less." Tang Huan looked at the next schedule, "Let's find a few places to inspect and donate as much as we can." β
Han Anyuan glanced at it and saw that Tang Huan had ticked a mark on a school, so he immediately quipped, "It's not enough to donate education." If you don't make a clear contribution to the economic construction of your hometown this time, you won't have the face next time. The first and second leaders in the province have already contacted me to find out your whereabouts. β
Hearing this, Tang Huan couldn't help but rub his nose and looked embarrassed, "What is needed here must be traditional industries, but my economic foundation is not in these fields." β
"Then it's up to you to use your own brain, you come back this time, sweep the graves, visit relatives and walk down one trip after another, without the villagers to take care of it, can it be so smooth?" Han Anyuan patted Tang Huan on the shoulder, "Think about it, here in your hometown, you have to consider the sophistication of people." β
In fact, the speed of the province's attention is simply enough, and when the school is visited, the second-in-command of the province has already begun to accompany him.
The provincial and ministerial-level leaders at this stage have all come step by step from the revolutionary years, and they will not retire until next year or join the Central Advisory Committee.
Therefore, just with this qualification, Tang Huan must show a serious attitude and make a positive response.
At present, the only legislative measures in the economic field on the mainland are the Law on Sino-Foreign Joint Ventures, which was passed in July 1979.
Under this framework, it is not easy for Tang Huan to temporarily find a project that is not in his pre-conceived conception, but is highly operable and has considerable benefits.
When Tang Huan was staying in the province for this problem, Zhou Mi called and said that under the media hype secretly promoted by Jardine Matheson, there was a not-so-good sign at present, and the failure of the acquisition of Xiangjiang Phone seemed to have begun to affect the glorious corporate image that had been created before.
Tang Huan didn't care too much about this worry. In his opinion, he has already laid a foundation in Xiangjiang, and this kind of topic of "who is the richest and most powerful" pursued by the media is of little significance, and it can make reporters eat the previous report back into their stomachs at any time.
Originally, in time and space, the businessman surnamed Zhou entered the circle of wealthy people in Xiangjiang and tossed out the title of "the richest man in Shanghai".
"This kind of singing is very naΓ―ve, it's not a big deal, I'll go to Xiangjiang in a few days, and then I can casually slap the faces of those boring critics." Tang Huan comforted confidently, "Now that I'm busy with errands, how can I find a project for the first and second leaders in our province." β
Seeing Tang Huan hang up the phone, Zhou Mi shrugged his shoulders and said to Hu Yinmeng: "He said that he would go back to Xiangjiang in a few days to deal with it." β
"Well, he should come right away." Hu Yinmeng raised his hand dissatisfiedly and drew a semicircle, "Do you know how many people in DreamWorks secretly discuss in private, whether the boss is not strong enough." The people I brought from Treasure Island also quietly asked me about such questions. Thousands of miles of embankment, collapsed in the anthill, he was too careless, and the time for the Golden Horse Awards is approaching, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. β
Looking at Hu Yinmeng's worried and hurried appearance, Zhou Mi smiled slightly bitterly, "It doesn't matter if you wait for two more days." β
"Mr. Zhou, don't you know the complexity of the entertainment industry, the cooperation that was originally negotiated may be delayed because of this factor that you think is insignificant for the time being." Hu Yinmeng picked up the phone and smiled slyly, "I have a way to make him move immediately." β
"Datang has always maintained his own rhythm of doing things unhurriedly, and if you want to influence him, it's not so easy." Zhou Mi shook his head with a smile.
"You'll see." Hu Yinmeng waved his fist with confidence, got through the phone and said, "I don't know if I should report to you if there is news, there is a kuo shao named Guo Kongcheng. I ran to the Peninsula Hotel where Deng Lijun was staying every day. The media also gossiped about the progress of their relationship...... Oh...... Good. I know. β
After putting down the phone, Hu Yinmeng made a triumphant gesture, "It's done, he will be in Xiangjiang tomorrow afternoon at the latest, and he praised me for reminding me right." β
Zhou Mi's head is big for a while, and this aunt in front of her is really good at stirring up trouble. But that's fine, after all, there are some things that I am not suitable for passing on the words.
"Miss Hu is really smart. Admire. Zhou Mi praised it heartily.
"It's over." Hu Yinmeng muttered happily, "Tang Huan asked me to pass on his visit to Xiangjiang to the media, how can I be more natural." β
"Isn't Hu Xian, the boss of "Sing Tao Daily", the most like to inquire about inside information from you?" Zhou Mi reminded with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou." Hu Yinmeng flattered back and forth, "I'll invite Hu Xian to dinner." β
β¦β¦
The next day, "Sing Tao Daily" published a news.
Mr. Tang Huan, who lost the takeover by Heung Kong Telephone, will arrive in Hong Kong today......
Perhaps, whether the richest man in the United States is strong in the outside world and in the middle of the world, in the Xiangjiang capital circles, will soon find out......
This is a short and concise report. It's easy to smell gunsmoke.
As a result, the media community in Hong Kong sprang into action. Sent reporters to the airport early.
When they saw the Boeing 747 with a special logo and landed elegantly at the airport, many onlookers couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit excitedly, and muttered to themselves in their hearts, the rich man who can afford to sit on this kind of private jet, no matter how strong he is outside, is not comparable to ordinary small shrimp, and the other party may not be willing to be snatched away from the prey.
Tang Huan, who was surrounded by his entourage and bodyguards, was quickly stopped by the media reporters who had been waiting for a long time.
β¦β¦
Mr. Tang, how do you feel about the failure of the acquisition of Heung Kong Phone? Does this mean that you are not as strong as you think, and you can compare to a first-class company like Jardine Matheson?
In fact, the acquisition of Heung Kong Telephone, whether it succeeds or fails, is just a normal business operation, but media friends make such a fuss in order to coax readers to pay for their own newspapers.
As for my strength, whether I can stand shoulder to shoulder with a company like Jardine Matheson, I can only say, wait and see.
Mr. Tang, can you elaborate on that?
I've already brought in two Β£100 million from the UK to move into another open utility, and if you're interested, go ahead and fight for it.
Mr. Tang, do you mean the goal you are talking about?
Sorry, there are trade secrets involved, no comment.
Mr. Tang, are you declaring war on Jardine Matheson by being so excited?
That's just the idea of you journalists, and in the eyes of me, a businessman, as long as I feel that the goal is appropriate, I will naturally invest.
Mr. Tang, does this mean that you are very optimistic about the future of Hong Kong, so you can invest so confidently and boldly? In other words, you went to the mainland this time and got some good news that is not known to the outside world.
No comment is given when it comes to trade secrets.
β¦β¦
Mr. Tang, have you heard, Miss Deng Lijun already has a new boyfriend. I don't know what your ex-boyfriend wants to say about this besides blessings?
Which newspaper are you from?
I? I'm from Hong Kong Times.
When did this newspaper also start to pay attention to the lace news, could it be said that your political tasks have been successfully accomplished?
Hehe, Mr. Tang, don't be angry, we're just telling the facts. Mr. Guo Kongcheng, the suitor who pursued Miss Deng Lijun, waited for Deng Lijun at the coffee lounge of the Peninsula Hotel every day.
β¦β¦
Back in the 1950s, The Peninsula was known as the "Filmmaker's CafΓ©", where many movie stars loved to have afternoon tea.
By 1960, the Peninsula had undergone a major renovation and air-conditioning was installed.
With better hardware, The Peninsula is naturally more attractive to those who are looking for a quality of life.
And some people who are looking for news clues, at any cost, hide here after dressing up, waiting for an opportunity.
It can be said that recently, the superstar customer of this cafΓ© is Guo Kongcheng, the young owner of Shangri Hotel, who must arrive almost every day in order to wait for Deng Lijun.
β¦β¦
After Tang Huan got rid of this group of reporters who were about to come, he directly ordered to go to the Peninsula Hotel.
After coming to the "Shadow Man Teahouse", he didn't need to be introduced by others, he found Guo Kongcheng at a glance, and the other party was talking and laughing with Run Run Shaw.
Tang Huan, who walked over slowly, sat down casually, "Sixth Uncle seems to be in a good mood." β
"When you're older, you naturally have to laugh a lot." Run Run Shaw laughed, "Mr. Tang's trip to the mainland should have been fruitful." β
"It's okay." Tang Huan nodded, "As long as DreamWorks can get it, I will also think about TVB." β
Originally, Guo Kongcheng was humbly discussing media topics with Run Run Shaw, but he didn't expect that a Cheng Biting Jin suddenly came out halfway, which directly attracted Run Run Shaw's attention.
What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that the other party stared at him with obvious scrutiny, and the resulting momentum directly pressed himself.
Seeing Guo Kongcheng's puzzled expression, Run Run Shaw made a gesture, "Both of them are the best of the younger generation, it would be a pity if they didn't get to know each other." This is Tang Huan, a technology elite from Silicon Valley in the United States, who has a net worth of more than 100 million US dollars; This is Malaysia's known as the Asian sugar king......"
"I know." Tang Huan waved his hand, with obvious disdain in his tone, "Mr. Guo Kongcheng, I heard that he has recently become the darling of the media in Xiangjiang, and he can be in the newspaper every day." β
For the guy in front of him who came to dig his corner, Tang Huan's heart was both strong and weird, otherwise he would not have gotten Hu Yinmeng's small report, so he immediately rushed over without saying a word.
In any case, one thing is clear and unambiguous, that is, Tang Huan hopes that this person will disappear from Xiangjiang as soon as possible.
So, Tang Huan spoke, full of gunpowder, "But relying on women to make headlines is really not the level that men should have." Xiangjiang is not suitable for your development, so it is better to leave as soon as possible. β
Guo Kongcheng was slightly stunned, and suddenly changed color, he never expected that the other party would suddenly attack.
"Mr. Tang has nosy skills, so it is better to think about how the acquisition of Xiangjiang Phone failed." Guo Kongcheng sneered.
Tang Huan didn't argue anything, just raised his index finger and said lightly: "I hope you can leave Xiangjiang within a day, otherwise, I will let the business of the Shangri-Hong Hotel, which you have so finally hyped up, plummet." β
"What a big breath, then I'll go back and wait for you to have any skills." Guo Kongcheng sneered and got up to leave indignantly.
Looking at the conflict that took place in front of him, which lasted only a minute, Shaw couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he had wanted to introduce the two to each other, why did the situation suddenly take a sharp turn and become like this?
Could it be that I am old and dizzy, and I am hallucinating in hearing and vision? (To be continued......)
