Chapter 349: The Iron and Steel Industry
Chen Chuanghe smiled and said, "It's not that troublesome, there are a few hotels on the beach, let's go eat something together?" ”
"Okay." Lu Jing smiled and nodded, Chen Chuanghe invited him twice in a row, and he couldn't refuse. Give Zhang Li the mobile phone number of the driver of Ruifeng Company, and ask her to call Zhao Qingzhi and Dong Wanyao after sending them off, and call a car to send them back to the Shangri-La Hotel.
Chen Chuanghe chose a small and elegantly decorated hotel, asked for a private room, ordered a few side dishes, and a bottle of Hennessy cognac. Chen Ruoyi glanced at Lu Jing very unhappily, "Why did you hang up the phone of Guan Yijun, don't you think this is very impolite?" ”
Lu Jing ignored her, Guan Yijun didn't know what to say, he naturally didn't say anything polite. He took a slight sip from his glass. The texture is rich like silk and has a good taste. Cognac is known as the king of brandy. And Hennessy, Remy Martin, Martell, and Napoleon are recognized as the four classic brands. It lives up to its name.
Chen Chuanghe was a little troubled by his daughter's rudeness, and said, "Ruoyi, didn't you make an appointment with your friends to eat barbecue?" ”
"I'm not happy to go, can I?" Chen Ruoyi said, pouting, picking up the handbag and walking out. She knew that her father had something to talk to the young man about. But in his heart, he was not angry: how could he be qualified to sit down and talk to his father about things.
"I'm sorry." Chen Chuanghe apologized slightly, "Ruoyi is also studying at Jiangzhou University, have you ever encountered it?" ”
"I have less time at Jiang University." Lu Jing said with a smile.
Chen Chuanghe showed a knowing smile and said: "I have been looking at some materials from domestic iron and steel companies recently. I don't know if you know anything about the domestic steel industry. ”
Lu Jing shook his head calmly, "I don't know about this industry. Said strangely: "Chuangyong Company does not seem to be involved in the steel industry. ”
"Yes, Chuangyong International's main business is real estate and ocean shipping." Chen Chuanghe smiled. Lu Jing and Chen Xujiang have a close relationship. It's not uncommon to know that he's in a situation. "After the company's capital has accumulated to a certain extent, it has the urge to enter the field of heavy industry."
Chen Chuanghe raised his glass and took a sip with Lu Jing. "Affected by last year's economic crisis. The steel industry is in the doldrums. I have learned a little about the situation of some domestic iron and steel enterprises. There are many companies that are in the middle of a cold winter.
When the industry is at a low point, it's always a good time to enter. Although the profit margin of the steel industry is low, the amount of capital involved is large, and the returns are considerable. I judge that the continued development of the mainland market will lead to further demand. ”
He learned some of Lu Jing's background. Lu Jing's elder brother Lu Jiang is the mayor of Jiangzhou. And Jiangzhou Iron and Steel is in Jiangzhou. Listening to Huang Lifei, Lu Jiang has a certain influence on Jiangzhou Iron and Steel. If he intends to invest in Jiangzhou Iron and Steel, it would be a good idea to ask Lu Jing to help introduce him. When doing business in China, political factors are factors that must be considered.
Tonight's chance encounter was a coincidence.
Of course, Jiangzhou Steel is not his only option.
Lu Jing could hear what Chen Chuanghe meant, but he didn't know much about the affairs of Jiangzhou Iron and Steel for the time being, and he couldn't say anything. I thought about it. "Mr. Chen means that he wants to enter the domestic steel industry. Now that Hong Kong investment is quite popular in China, Mr. Chan may wish to make formal contact with the official first, and perhaps he will gain something. "If Chen Chuanghe has the idea of investing in iron and steel enterprises, he may not be supported by the local political forces. Of course, Chen Chuanghe made such a large investment, and he definitely needed to find a reliable partner. He can't just find a steel company and invest in it. All aspects of the equation need to be considered.
Chen Chuanghe smiled and nodded. He is mainly expressing such a will today. It is unrealistic to ask Lu Jingxia to help him inject Jiangzhou Iron and Steel for no reason. Moreover, he did not regard Jiangzhou Iron and Steel as the only option.
"You're still staying in the hotel? Ever considered buying a property in Repulse Bay? I can help you take a look. Now that the property market is sluggish, some people may sell their homes. ”
Lu Jing shook his head with a smile. "Thank you Mr. Chen for your kindness, I don't have this plan yet." Houses in this area of Repulse Bay start at 150,000 per square meter. He didn't need to get a place to live here. Not cost-effective.
As he spoke, he groaned for a moment. Said apologetically: "There is something that I have never apologized to Mr. Chen, and I was a little offended to Miss Chen at the Jiangzhou Dynasty Club that night..."
Chen Chuanghe smiled and said, "I heard Ruoyi say, the past is over!" Picked up the wine glass and drank a glass with Lu Jing. Huang Lifei wanted to kiss Ruoyi. was snatched into the box by Lu Jing. Although the nature is very bad, Ruoyi was also hugged by Lu Jing. I didn't force her to drink, and I didn't actually suffer anything. There's no need to dwell on it.
The meal was quite enjoyable. After chatting for more than an hour, Lu Jing returned to the Shangri-La Hotel. Some thoughts of stealing incense and stealing jade were turning in his mind--Ding Ling lived alone in a room--Wang Can called.
"Damn, Lu Jing, you kid is good enough, you didn't go to Stanford University to see Li Feifei when you went to Silicon Valley."
Through the earpiece, you can vaguely hear the noise of the bar on his side. Lu Jing smiled and lay down on the bed, "Didn't you travel in Lijiang with Xiaoyu?" Why do you care about me? ”
"Dude, Mingxiu called me and said that Li Feifei met you. But when you hugged a large group of people, you didn't come forward to say hello. ”
". I didn't even show up at Stanford, and I spent my days negotiating with people in Silicon Valley. It's almost a line between the hotel and the company. How could Li Feifei meet me? Taking a step back, even if Li Feifei meets me and there is no one around me, will she take the initiative to greet me? Haha, stop dreaming. ”
"Day. You're laughing so fake. Wang Can said with a smile: "I thought you would take advantage of Li Feifei's emotional emptiness in a foreign country to perform the Dafa of pickling girls and start a vigorous love with her." It doesn't look like you have feelings for Wei Wanyi. You're in the U.S. for almost twenty days, which is logically enough time. ”
"Damn. You kid just. Lu Jing rolled his eyes, "I have a lot of headaches, so I have time to chase Li Feifei." ”
It is estimated that Li Feifei mentioned this matter to Mingxiu. Mingxiu was curious about what you were doing in the United States, so she called me and asked me. You should think about it and meet Li Feifei there, but brother, let me remind you: Don't think too much, lest you toss and turn and can't fall asleep tonight. Wang Can said with a smile on the phone.
"I'm so idle that I don't think much about it." Lu Jing scolded with a smile. After a few words with Wang Can, he hung up the phone and saw that the time was already half past ten. mentioned Li Feifei, Lu Jing also had no intention of stealing incense and jade.
I brewed a coffee and sat on the balcony to watch the dazzling night view of Victoria Harbour. The sea breeze blows the curtains, making a subtle sound of rustling in the silent night.
It's not that I didn't want to go over to see Li Feifei, but what can I say when we meet? Some people miss just miss, and they have nothing to regret. It's just that when I think about it in the middle of the night, there will always be some melancholy thoughts floating in my heart.
…
In the morning, he and Ding Ling sent Zhang Li, Ye Yan, Cai Lu, Jiang Yan, and Huang Yong to the airport. Zhang Li and Ye Yan went to Jiaozhou, while Cai Lu, Jiang Yan, and Huang Yongfei returned to the capital. Before Ye Yan got on the plane, she received a thank you call from Zhao Qingzhi and Dong Wanyao. Depending on the situation, she gets along well with Zhao Qingzhi and Dong Wanyao.
"When are we going back to the capital?" Watching them walk into the security check, Ding Ling gently leaned on Lu Jing's arm. "If I don't go back, my parents will scold me for being an unfilial daughter, and I won't go home for a few months off."
Lu Jing pinched her face, "If it goes well, we can leave on the 6th or 7th." I'd rather like to spend a few more days with you in Hong Kong. ”
Ding Ling bit his lip and smiled: "Don't you care about the two little girls who were left in Shadow Bay Garden?" ”
Lu Jing took her hand and took the car to the World Fortune Building, "What do you care about them?" I'm eighteen years old and still hungry. There is a hotel to eat under Shadow Bay Park. ”
Ding Ling chuckled, "You're really not responsible." ”
"I'm responsible for you." Lu Jing looked at her delicate and lovely appearance, and his index finger moved. When he arrived at the Shiyun Building, Lu Jing took Ding Ling to meet with Yang Xingchang and asked him how he was operating in Japan. By the beginning of August '98, there was basically no chance to follow the international currency speculators. Because they are all suffering heavy losses, not only in Hong Kong, but also in Russia.
The Central Bank of Russia will announce on August 17 that it will expand the floating range of the ruble against the US dollar to 6.0~9.5:1 this year, and postpone the repayment of foreign debts and suspend the trading of state bonds. As a result, the Russian stock market and foreign exchange market fell sharply, triggering a financial crisis and even an economic and political crisis. The international speculators who invested huge sums of money in the Russian stock market were greatly discouraged, and this led to the overall violent fluctuations in the stock and foreign exchange markets of the United States and European countries.
"At the beginning, there was 250 million yuan, and 100 million yuan was withdrawn in the middle to donate to Ruifeng Company, and now there are 340 million in the account." Yang Xingchang introduced the situation on the account to Lu Jing. Although he was a little surprised that Lu Jing came in with a delicate and sweet girl, he didn't ask much.
"Let's wash the 240 million funds. There is 100 million left, and you are free to operate. Lu Jing commanded. It is impossible for him to participate in the defense of Hong Kong, and Russia has no room for profit, and if he plunges into it, it will be a situation of losing all his money.
Ding Ling listened to the conversation between Lu Jing and Yang Xingchang in surprise, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have doubted whether she had heard it wrong. (To be continued......)
