Zheng Yi was pondering when the servant respectfully came to him and squatted down and offered two cups of hot coffee. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zheng Yi nodded politely, took the Luzon cigar handed by Shangguan Jie, and pretended to be indifferent: "As long as our two old men agree, I don't have any opinions......"

"You also know that my chairman is only temporary, and I will step down after my eldest brother comes, and the board of directors has appointed you as the executive director and general manager of the marine transportation company, and you will take office on New Year's Day, and your opinion is the most important."

"Listening to you, I clearly want to leave it alone! I can say it first, you can't shirk your responsibility, you promised to work with me for a year or two, you can't be untrustworthy! ”

Shangguan Jie was not satisfied, but in his heart he was very grateful to Zheng Yi for his trust and selfless help.

After two days of on-the-spot investigation and conversation, Shangguan Jie not only got acquainted with the capable team established by Zheng Yi, learned about Zheng Yi's strong strength, but also saw the advanced and perfect management system and ambitious development plan of the shipping company.

Shangguan Jie, who graduated from Harvard University, finally put away his pride and sincerely admired the talented and far-sighted Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi, who has a lot of experience, didn't know Shangguan Jie's careful thoughts, picked up the coffee cup, took two sips silently, and then cut the top of the thick cigar, took out a lighter and lit it, and enjoyed it comfortably:

"It's the first time I've seen your cigars, and at first glance I know that it's a handmade special product, and the taste is no worse than that of Havana cigars, how about sending me two boxes back?"

Shangguan Jie generously agreed: "Although the number of this kind of superb cigars specially made for Spanish and British nobles is very small, and it is not something that ordinary people can enjoy in Manila, it is not a problem for our Shangguan family. ”

"So awesome?" Zheng Yi was surprised.

Shangguan Jie smiled proudly: "This is the highest grade cigar smoke in Luzon, the workshop that produces this cigar has a history of three hundred years, at the beginning it was exclusively for the Spanish royal family, after the Yankees occupied Luzon, this workshop gradually declined, but it has been producing for several big nobles in Spain and England, and never sold out." ”

"This cigar comes in two packs, a carved wooden box of twenty-four and a regular wooden box of two cigars, each costing up to two pounds or second, because production is scarce and money can't buy it."

Zheng Yi sighed, and was just about to make more requests to Shangguan Jie, when he saw his father, Shangguan Old Man, and Chen Jiongming walking into the hall with a smile, and hurriedly put the expensive cigar he had just smoked on the crystal ashtray, stood up with Shangguan Jie, and respectfully saluted the three elders.

Old Man Shangguan and Zheng Yi were already very familiar, but they nodded happily, but Chen Jiongming looked at Zheng Yi with a smile, and only turned to Zheng Lanting for a while and praised: "Fortunately, the little brother is in the wilderness, otherwise when I meet a handsome man like Ling Lang, I am afraid that I will have more headaches than Lao Jiang and Zhu Yizhi." ”

Zheng Lanting laughed: "Brother Cunxian praised it falsely, haha!" Yi'er come over and meet you, Uncle Chen. ”

Zheng Yi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Chen Jiongming, who was smiling with bright eyes: "Zheng Yi has seen Uncle Chen Shi. ”

"Good, good! I have heard the prestige of my nephew for a long time, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it, it seems that I have come to the right place! I don't know when the virtuous nephew was disarmed and engaged in business? Chen Jiongming asked kindly.

Zheng Yi heard the question in Chen Jiongming's words, smiled and replied respectfully: "The little nephew returned to Hong Kong four months ago, and the situation in southern Gan is too complicated, and the little nephew is really difficult to deal with, so he had to leave the army gloomily, return to his father, and strive to be a rich businessman." ”

Everyone laughed, and Chen Jiongming smiled understandingly: "No wonder, it's good to come back, it's far more comfortable to return to your father than to follow the Kuomintang and the Communist Party!" ”

The old man Shangguan laughed: "It's all your own people, you don't need to be polite, the two juniors still have a lot of things to trouble you in the future, you have to guide them well as an uncle." ”

……

……

At the end of the happy dinner, Chen Jiongming said goodbye and left, and the Zheng family father and son and Shangguan father and son who lived in the Zheng Mansion sent Chen Jiongming to the courtyard together.

Chen Jiongming's two drivers and bodyguards had already driven the car out, and stood outside the car respectfully and in a salute, waiting for Chen Jiongming to get into the car.

Chen Jiongming, who was in a good mood, politely asked the old man Shangguan and Zheng Lanting to stay, then held Zheng Yi's hand and said politely: "If the virtuous nephew is free, please go to the cold house to talk about it, I have a lot to say to the virtuous nephew." ”

Zheng Yi, who had something in mind but didn't dare to ask at the banquet, immediately responded: "The little nephew also has a lot of places to ask Uncle Shi for advice, or else, the little nephew will drive Uncle Shi back?" ”

Chen Jiongming was overjoyed: "It's exactly what I want, haha!" Let me say hello to your father. ”

Zheng Yi nodded with a smile, and Chen Jiongming immediately made a request to Zheng Lanting and invited Zheng Yi to his mansion to talk.

Zheng Lanting was slightly taken aback, but he happily ordered his son to send Uncle Chen Shi home, Zheng Yi immediately entered the living room, put on his coat, and told the maid to go and say hello to the fourth aunt and his wife, and then walked out quickly and walked to his car.

The two cars drove out of the courtyard one after the other, and the old man Shangguan asked Zheng Lanting in a low voice: "Brother Xian, what do you think you want to say to Xiao Yi?" ”

Zheng Lanting was also quite surprised for a while, pondered for a moment and replied uncertainly: "Just now during the banquet, Brother Xian and Yi'er had a very happy conversation, which was quite speculative, and the topics were mixed but unfinished, so I guess I still want to talk about some military matters." ”

The old man Shangguan laughed, took Zheng Lanting's hand and walked into the hall side by side: "There is something that the foolish brother has not had time to explain to you, in addition to controlling the Hong Kong Cantonese Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes, he also shoulders the mission of developing the Zhi Gong Tang into the Zhi Gong Party. ”

"I speculate that the reason why Jingcun asked you to give up 20% of the shares of the shipping company is probably the unanimous decision of several bosses of the Zhi Gong Court."

"Although he has tens of millions of family fortunes, he has purchased a large number of properties in Hong Kong in the past two years, and after the two clans of the Chen family left their hometowns, they invested heavily in the United States and Sin Chew respectively, so the 250,000 pounds he saved for shares should be the funds entrusted to him by the court for full management."

"Considering that the shipping company's American route needs the care and support of the Zhigongtang, I am willing to introduce it in the middle, and I think it is not bad to bring in the Zhigongtang, which is blooming and scattered in the United States, but I didn't expect that you and Xiao Yi agreed after a little discussion, which saved me a lot of saliva, haha!"

Zheng Lanting attaches great importance to the intentions of the Zhi Gong Court: "I really don't know the situation of the Zhi Gong Court, if my brother doesn't say that I am still in the dark." ”

"This is a big deal, once the British know about it, it is likely that there will be a lot of unnecessary variables, not to mention that the British will definitely launch an investigation to find out whether there is the support of the US government or a consortium behind the Zhi Gong Party, whether it will damage the interests of the United Kingdom and the capital market, and so on."

The old man's expression became solemn: "This matter is indeed a trouble, why don't we think about it carefully?" ”

Zheng Lanting nodded immediately, pulled the old man Shangguan into the study and continued to talk deeply, but the forgotten Shangguan Jie stayed in the hall, looking around at a loss, wanting to follow up the study but feeling abrupt, wanting to go to the Chen Mansion to find Zheng Yi, but feeling rude, he had to return to the guest room to wash and rest.
