Chapter 187: True Purpose
Soon after Ross Kadoorie and Zeng Daqian walked on the dance floor, Gu Chen saw Qiu De walking towards him, followed by an old man, because the lights in the hall were dim, when Gu Chen saw Qiu De and the two, the two sides were already very close, he quickly stood up, first nodded to Qiu De, bowed his head, and said: "Old Qiu", and then stretched out his hand to Qiu De and the old man beside him, and lowered his posture: "Hello Mr. Huo." ”
Huo Yingdong held Gu Chen's outstretched hand and said with a smile: "I have heard Gu Sheng's name for a long time, and I finally saw it today, it is really a blessing for Sansheng." ”
Gu Chen knew very well that he was not qualified to be compared with these Hong Kong super bosses, and when he heard Huo Yingdong say this, he immediately said: "Mr. Huo is really a tormenting kid when he says this, this achievement of the kid is really not worth mentioning in the eyes of you and Qiu Lao and other seniors." ”
The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Gu Chen's words obviously hit Huo Yingdong's heart: "Hahaha, it is hypocritical to be too modest, we old guys are still worried about three meals a day at your age, you are much better than us in comparison, and ...... Hehe, the Tang Dynasty Investment under your name has been very active in the Japanese stock market during this time, so it should be profitable. ”
The activities of the Tang Dynasty's investment did not deliberately hide the traces, as long as they were checked, they could be found, and even if they were deliberately hidden, it would not be too difficult if someone wanted to check it, so Gu Chen was not surprised by Huo Yingdong's words, smiled slightly, and said, "It's just a small fight." ”
At this time, Qiu De interjected: "I originally wanted to introduce you to it, but now it seems that there is no need for it, you talk slowly, there are still a few friends over there, I will lose company first." ”
After saying that, Qiu De followed and left, Gu Chen hurriedly asked Huo Yingdong to sit down on the sofa, the two chatted casually for a while, Huo Yingdong suddenly looked at it, and then lowered his voice and asked: "Some time ago, the media photographed Gu Sheng and two white little girls shopping in the night market in Mong Kok, the identities of these two girls should not be simple!" ”
Looking at Huo Yingdong's meaningful expression, Gu Chen couldn't help but be surprised that the other party actually knew the identities of Little Barbara and Little Jenner, unless it took a lot of effort to investigate, but Huo Yingdong had nothing to do with investigating the two little girls, but since Huo Yingdong knew the Tao and said it to his face, there was no need for him to hide it: "That's right, those two little girls are the granddaughters of the current Vice President of the United States, George W. Bush, and I just have a little friendship with Vice President Bush's eldest son." Huo Lao, you shouldn't have just said it casually when you suddenly mentioned them, right? ”
"Haha, the young man is really cheerful when he speaks. Yes, I have an oil company, mainly selling petroleum products produced in Chinese mainland, recently want to expand business, planning to acquire Singapore Petroleum Company, has reached a preliminary agreement, just wait for the approval of the Singapore government can sign the agreement, but did not expect the Singapore government to refuse to approve on the grounds that oil is a national strategic industry. ”
"This is not a real reason, the reason why the Singapore government refused was because the Keppel Group of Singapore was also interested in Petrona, but the offer was lower than that of my Eastern Petroleum Company, and in order to buy Petro Singapore at a lower price, Keppel Group bought off the government department in Singapore."
Speaking of this, Huo Yingdong changed his words and said: "I heard that Vice President Bush's eldest son also has an oil company in Texas, I wonder if Gu Sheng can introduce it on his behalf to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between the two sides?" ”
In fact, the reason why Huo Yingdong knew the identities of Little Barbara and Little Jenner was not investigated, but heard from others.
It is said that the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency, as the only official organization of Chinese mainland stationed in Hong Kong, has only a second-class journalistic work, and its real work is to handle routine contacts between China and Britain, and intelligence work is also one of the key points. At that time, Fok Yingdong was really surprised that Gu Chen, an upstart in the entertainment industry and the rich circle, actually knew a well-known political family in the United States (the Bush family at this time was far from being as prominent as the two presidents in the future), but he did not take it to heart, and did not remember it until the failure of the acquisition of the Singapore Petroleum Company a few days ago.
Hearing this, Gu Chen knew that this was Huo Yingdong's true purpose for coming to find him tonight. In the business competition between local enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises, Singapore has chosen local enterprises, and in the face of a country's administrative power, Fok Yingdong is helpless even if he is unwilling to be new. But if you can get the help of an external force, and it is a powerful external force, then the result may be completely different.
Although Singapore's economy is relatively developed, its land area is small, and it is destined to always be a regional country, so since independence, it has actively moved closer to the United States and other developed Western countries diplomatically, and if the eldest son of the current vice president of the United States is also involved in the acquisition competition, I believe that the Singapore Government will reconsider it carefully, and if Bush Jr. puts a little pressure on the Singapore Government through the channels at his disposal, it is almost certain that the Singapore Government will change its mind. Of course, there is a price to be paid for wanting George W. Bush to help.
Gu Chen pondered for a while, he already had a plan in his heart, and was about to speak, just as the music ended, Ross Kadoorie and Zeng Haoqian had already walked towards this side, so he said: "I don't know if Lu Daohuo Lao has time tomorrow afternoon, let's make an appointment to have a good talk?" ”
Huo Yingdong also saw Rose Kadoorie and Zeng Daqian, knowing that this was not a place to talk about things, he nodded, stood up and said with a smile: "Then that's it, I'll inform you tomorrow afternoon when I book a place." ”
