Mandarin Oriental Hotel is located at 5 Connaught Road, Central, founded in 1963, is the most valuable asset of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Group, and is also a world-renowned top five-star hotel, luxuriously decorated and with pleasant sea views, but Li Guoding has no intention of appreciating it, he hurriedly had lunch in the restaurant, and as soon as he returned to the room, he immediately asked Huang Renzhong to call Oriental Charm to find someone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He is a veteran of Taiwan's political scene, and he has a deep friendship with the Huang family, and he uses Huang Renzhong, a young man, as a horse, Huang Renzhong has nothing to say, knowing that the time is not suitable, he can only take out Shen Chong's business card, dial the office number, and after chatting a few words, he quickly put down the phone.

"How?"

"The secretary said that Shen Chong went out to eat and was not in the company, and he didn't say anything about the arrangements for the evening." Huang Renzhong rubbed his wrinkled forehead and said with a wry smile: "It doesn't seem to take us seriously." ”

"What about Wei Jingmeng's granddaughter? Call her. ”

"I fought before I came to Hong Kong, and Zhang Aijia said that Shen Chong never told her about investment, and it was useless to look for her."

"Fight again." Li Guoding disagreed, and said: "Whether it is useful or not, finding Shen Chong is a great achievement, if you can't even see people, what kind of investment can you talk about." ”

He is tall, his face is resolute, and he has been in the top position for a long time, and his every move is not angry and arrogant, Huang Renzhong did not dare to disobey, so he had to grab the phone and dial Zhang Aijia's office number, then shook his head and said, "No one answered." ”

Li Guoding frowned, walked around the house with his hands behind his back, he was born in 1910, at this time he was 70 years old, in Taiwan from the general manager of the shipbuilding company, successively served as a member of the Industrial Commission, secretary general of the US Aid Application Committee, Minister of Finance, Minister of Economic Affairs and other important positions, one of the important promoters of Taiwan's economic take-off, both highly respected and high-powered, early this morning, temporarily received an order to rush to Hong Kong to meet a hairy businessman in his early 20s, already a little unhappy, and now he is being left aside, It's even more anxious.

But what about impatience? As an economic expert, he knows very well that this $1 billion investment cannot be ignored!

Singapore has shipping, Hong Kong has finance, South Korea has a large amount of investment from Japan and the United States, and the annual economic growth rate is as high as 12%, ranking first in the world, while Taiwan's economic growth rate has increased from 8% the year before. 2% fell to 7 last year. 3%, even worse this year, the year-on-year growth rate in the first half of the year was only a little more than 6%, which shows that the previous economic growth model has bottomed out, the transformation is imminent, the electronics industry is one of the key directions of transformation, and this direction is decided by Li Guoding personally, for which he also argued with Jiang Jingguo face to face.

Taiwan has only $7 billion in foreign exchange, one-tenth of which will be used to import weapons from the United States, and then remove the funds for the purchase of various energy and mineral resources, and there is not much left, but Taiwan does not have the foundation of electronic science and technology, and if it wants to develop this industry, it must use a large amount of money to promote it.

"Brother Guoding, I know that it is difficult for some strongmen to let you go to Hong Kong, but Shen Chong's $1 billion cannot be disputed, which is a shot in the arm to stimulate our economic transformation in Taiwan......"

Li Guoding remembered what Sun Yunxuan said at the airport before leaving, and sighed secretly, the times have really changed! It used to be the businessman who stammered the officials, but now it is the turn of the officials to stammering the businessmen......

Life is rare for 70 years, I am 70 years old, what face does this old face have? As long as you can get investment, it is the biggest face!

Thinking of this, he stopped walking around and said, "Ren Zhong, pack up, change clothes, let's go to Shen Chong's office and wait for him." ”

Huang Renzhong was very surprised and hesitated when he saw him lower his body so much.

"What are you in a daze!" Li Guoding waved his hand and urged: "The soldiers are fast, the Singaporeans came yesterday, and we are already late today, so we will drag it out......"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Huang Gongzi? I'm Shen Chong, is Mr. Li Guoding here? ”

Huang Renzhong and Li Guoding glanced at each other, quickly stood up, trotted to open the door, and sure enough, it was Shen Chong at the door, and Zhang Aijia came with him.

"Huang Gongzi, long time no see." Shen Chong and Huang Renzhong exchanged two words, and then greeted Li Guoding with a smile: "Mr. Li, I'm very sorry, I was in a meeting just now, and I couldn't go to the airport to greet me, and I still look at Haihan." ”

He raised the food box in his hand and said, "I don't know if Mr. Li has had lunch?" I brought some food over, authentic Wakayama saury sushi. ”

Li Guoding is a member of the "Executive Yuan National Science Committee" and the "Executive Yuan Economic Construction Committee", Shen Chong went to Taiwan last time, once briefly introduced his investment plan in a meeting of the "Executive Yuan", Li Guoding was also present, the two had a relationship, at that time he only felt that this young man was impetuous and complacent, exaggerated rhetoric, suspected of grandstanding and painting a big pie, and his private life was disorderly, exposed everywhere, his behavior was grotesque, and there was no moral cultivation of moderation and integrity, rigor and self-discipline. Therefore, the perception of Shen Chong is not very good.

But the world is realistic, it has always been a win or a loser, Shen Chong in just two months, in the stock market, movies, video games three three-pronged three-pronged money, a lot of money, harvested hundreds of millions of dollars in assets, become a real world super-rich, social status soared rapidly, in the dazzling halo and strong strength, who cares about his character and private life?

Yang Guang married a lot of concubines, called lewd and lustful, and Li Shimin also married many concubines, but it was called the continuation of the dragon vein......

Before Li Guoding came to Hong Kong, he had already promoted Shen Chong to an equal position with himself in his heart, and just said that he would take the initiative to go to the Oriental Charm and wait for Shen Chong, so he raised him to a higher level, and now Shen Chong took the initiative to visit, and also brought food to apologize, which made him feel good, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen has a heart, thank you, thank you, I have heard the name of Wakayama saury sushi for a long time, and I just want to taste it today...... Ren Zhong, stunned for what to do, quickly go and pour tea. ”

After some politeness, several people sat down on the sofa, and Zhang Aijia took out the sushi and ingredients from the food box, and chatted while placing them.

"Aijia, your grandfather misses you very much, why don't you go back to see him more?"

"I've been very busy lately, so I'll be back in two days."

Shen Chong pushed a small box of sushi to Li Guoding and said, "Old Li, this is fermented with lactic acid bacteria, it is very soft and glutinous, good for the stomach, please try it." ”

"Okay, okay, Mr. Shen also please."

"Little sister, how is the box office of the movie you made?"

"It's so-so, and now it's only more than 2 million."

"It's only been on the screen for three days, right? That's pretty good, when will it be released in Taiwan? ”

"This weekend."

Li Guoding had something in his heart, he couldn't eat it, he reluctantly ate a piece of sushi, coughed lightly, interrupted Huang Renzhong's unnutritious nonsense, and then looked at it with his eyes, signaling him to probe Shen Chong's tone.

This old guy is too anxious, and he hasn't even taken a sip of tea......

Huang Renzhong asked with a dry smile: "Mr. Shen, I heard that Minister Wu from Singapore came to Hong Kong yesterday?" ”

"yes, I had dinner with him last night." Li Guoding is a highly qualified political tycoon, and playing with flowers in front of him will only make people laugh, Shen Chong did not hide it, and said bluntly: "I plan to set up a research and development center in Singapore with an initial investment of 50 million US dollars." ”

Li Guoding was taken aback, put down his chopsticks, and said: "Mr. Shen, please think twice, Singapore is narrow and has few people, and it is not an ideal choice to start building a factory." ”

"Old Li's eyes are like torches, and what he said is not wrong at all." Shen Chong also put down his chopsticks, and Zhengse said: "Singapore's development space is limited, it is indeed inferior to Taiwan, I am ready to invest in building a research and development center there, as for the production center, it is still being studied." ”

"Mr. Shen, Shen Caishen, if there is anything else to study, it must be to come to Taiwan." Huang Renzhong joked: "Anyway, you are also half of our son-in-law in Taiwan, how can there be a reason for the outflow of fat water." ”

Zhang Aijia glanced at him, but didn't speak, Shen Chong smiled and said: "Taiwan is indeed a very suitable place, but I have some doubts in my heart, so I haven't made a decision for a long time." ”

"What doubts? Mr. Shen, it doesn't hurt to talk about it. Li Guoding patted his chest and promised: "As long as Mr. Shen is willing to invest, everything is easy to discuss, we are no worse than Singapore in terms of transportation, skilled workers, and preferential policies......

As he spoke, he stood up, took out a stack of documents from the bedroom, and then talked about Taiwan's advantageous environment and preferential policies, Shen Chong didn't say a word, just listened quietly, looked carefully, and after fully understanding Li Guoding's hole cards, he said: "Li Lao, you see, I make a lot of money making game consoles, but I don't live in Silicon Valley, I buy a lot of stocks on Wall Street, but I don't live in New York, I invest in a lot of companies in Japan, but I don't live in Tokyo, but I have always lived in Hong Kong." ”

"And in Hong Kong, Jardine Matheson, Hutchison Whampoa, Wharf, and even HSBC, there are many companies that want me to be a director, but I don't go, I have always worked in one place." He pointed to the direction of the Oriental Charm Building, then took out a business card from his pocket and said, "Old Li, this is my business card, you see, there is only one title on it." ”

Li Guoding took it and found that the business card was very concise, only one pattern and one line of words were printed, the pattern was the oriental charm logo with white characters on a red background, and the text was Shen Chong's Chinese and English name, and there was nothing else.

"What does Mr. Shen mean?"

"Some media in Hong Kong like to sensationalize, saying that I am the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, which is nonsense and not true." Shen Chong shook his head and teased himself: "If I am really the reincarnation of a god, it will definitely not be the God of Wealth, but a Kuixing or a Laughing Star, because I am not interested in making money, I am only interested in the culture and entertainment industry." ”

"Mr. Shen is really joking." Huang Renzhong saw that Shen Chong had changed the topic, and seemed to be not very interested in what Li Guoding said just now, in order to adjust the atmosphere, he said with a smile: "It's only been a little more than a year, and I have made more than a billion dollars without interest, so if I am interested, how much should I earn?" ”

"Huang Gongzi, from last year to now, I have spent two-thirds of my time tinkering with movies and magazines, you say that I spend all this time and energy on business and stock speculation, how much money will I have now?" Shen Chong smiled proudly, he picked up a piece of sushi with chopsticks, threw it casually, threw it on the ground, and then said: "This piece of sushi costs 200 Hong Kong dollars, which is very expensive, but I said that if I lose it, I will lose it, not because it is not delicious, nor because I have money, let alone because I love to waste, just because I can lose it, so I will lose it, and it is the same to make money, I can become a billionaire, not because I am lucky, hardworking, hardworking, diligent or other reasons, just because I can do it, so I did it." ”

I could do it, so I did it......

This is a bit tongue-twisting, but the meaning is obvious - making money is just a gesture, and his billions of fortunes are all earned unintentionally......

This is probably the most arrogant and unreasonable businessman in the world......

Shen Chong took a tissue paper, bent down to pick up the sushi, put it on the coffee table, and then said: "I don't have much ambition and dedication, I just want to be happy in everything, don't I have something to say?" The most important thing is to be happy, and the most important thing is to do what you like, if you can't do what you like the most, even if you have all the wealth in the world, what's the point? ”

"What does Mr. Shen like?"

"I'm interested in the entertainment industry, especially movies, so I've been tossing movies since the day I made my first money, and that's how I got to know Sylvia." Shen Chong made a gesture to Zhang Aijia, motioned for her to take out the documents in her bag, and said: "I opened a film branch in Taiwan last year, and I have been harassed by all kinds of strange people and things, and I have never been able to operate normally, which makes me very uneasy. ”

Zhang Aijia handed the thin folder to Li Guoding, Li Guoding took it and hurriedly browsed it, put it aside casually, and said: "Mr. Shen, in the current political situation, these things are inevitable, but I can guarantee that there will never be these moths in the investment and construction of the factory, whoever dares to make trouble, I Li Guoding will let whoever get out!" ”

Hey, I played the piano to the cow, and it became nonsense after talking for a long time......

But also, in the eyes of such old-school politicians, making movies is just a pastime that is not a proper business, nothing at all, and when put together with a billion-dollar business, it is not worth mentioning......

"Mr. Li, Singapore is indeed not as ideal as Taiwan, but what about the mainland? A worker in Taiwan must earn at least $200 a month, while a worker in the mainland earns only $25 a month. Shen Chong simply made it clear and said: "It's just that the mainland does not allow foreign capital to open film companies in the mainland, Taiwan allows, this is your only attraction to me, if I can make my film company operate normally, I will invest, if not, I will not go." ”

After he finished speaking, he got up directly to say goodbye, and then ignored the retention and walked away.
