Chapter Eighty-Eight: Seeking Pleasure
What Zheng Yunhong didn't know was that his eldest son had actually been ordered to drop out of a British university as early as last year, relying on the living expenses remitted from Hong Kong every month, and a group of Chinese friends rented a house in the suburbs of the UK with a group of Chinese friends, eating, drinking, and having sex parties.
Because of his generous shots, the fox friends around him inevitably praised him, so that Zheng Pengxiao completely forgot how many catties and taels he had.
If the twenty-four-year-old Zheng Pengxiao had been staying abroad, everyone would have given him a thumbs up and praised the young talent. It's just that when he returns to Hong Kong and gets along with the people around him for a long time, the true nature of the second ancestor is exposed, and he will soon be punctured to the appearance of gold and jade.
However, although Zheng Pengxiao is gentle, but not stupid, he only stayed for a month or two after returning to Hong Kong, and soon found that the eyes of the people around him were not as respectful as when he first returned to Hong Kong during the Spring Festival, especially in recent days, the disappointment in the eyes of his father Zheng Yunhong has become more and more.
If it continues like this, let alone inherit a huge family business, I am afraid that even the living expenses can only be secretly obtained from my mother.
So Zheng Pengxiao felt that he had to prove himself in front of his father.
"Abba, last time I really didn't think about it and said stupid things about importing raw materials from Europe, but now that a tariff-free decree is about to be introduced, I think the cost of imports in the future should be able to match the current cost price." Zheng Pengxiao sat next to his father Zheng Yunhong, pointed to the English words in the newspaper, and showed his English level, "The newspaper said that this decree will be issued at the end of this month at the latest, this is yesterday's news, so far there are definitely not many Chinese who know this news, if we can take the lead, find the import channel of raw materials in Europe, and take the lead in entering the American market for weaving products, we will definitely be able to take the lead." ”
Zheng Yunhong stared at the 'ghost drawing talisman' on the newspaper, his face was slightly solemn.
The Government Gazette is a pure English newspaper for the British in Hong Kong, few Chinese will pay attention to the above reports, in the past few years, the British government in Hong Kong has issued new laws from time to time, the Chinese have always been passively accepted, and now their son actually discovered the new direction of the government in advance, which is indeed a great achievement.
It is now the beginning of the month, and there are still more than 20 days before the end of the month, if the decree on tariff exemption at the end of the month is officially promulgated, all Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong will get the news, and by that time, the entire Hong Kong manufacturing industry will not only start an export war, but also an import war.
Import cheap raw materials from Europe and expand overseas markets.
"Dick, what do you think?" Taking his eyes off the newspaper, Zheng Yunhong raised his head and looked at his younger brother Zheng Yuntu, who was sitting on the sofa opposite.
"The newspaper was published yesterday, so Shen Rongtao, Li Lianheng, Zhang Wenlin and Cheng Feng must have gotten the news earlier than us, and maybe they have already started to contact European raw material suppliers." Zheng Yuntu thought about it, paused and continued, "But Peng Xiao is right, now the people who know the news are a minority after all, if we can find a channel in advance, we can grab a copy of the European weaving export market in the future, in the final analysis, it depends on who receives the wind first to take action." ”
Among the names he mentioned, Shen Rongtao is the president of the trade association, and the rest are also big Chinese businessmen in the weaving industry.
In traditional small and medium-sized Chinese businessmen like Zheng Ji, most of the bosses are self-made, do not have too high a culture, and pursue a one-word hall system, often unable to see the direction of the wind, and perhaps a change of laws and regulations will capsize in the business sea.
Just like the introduction of this tax exemption law, it is already foreseeable that many small companies will be struggling to move forward because of hindsight.
After the second master Zheng Yuntu finished speaking, Zheng Yunhong nodded and sighed: "Now doing business under the British, you still have to understand foreign languages and know the situation, otherwise you can't seize the opportunity in front of you." Ah Xiao did a good job this time, I will pay for it after a while, the second child, you take Ah Xiao together, and also form a business consultant team to come out, the times are changing, and Zheng Ji is also going to change. ”
Hearing that his father's words obviously contained the meaning of decentralization, Zheng Pengxiao's heart beat a few times, and his eyes overflowed with joy.
"The little ghost has some skills, if you don't bring the news back this time, we will be one step slower than others." Zheng Yuntu glanced at his nephew Zheng Pengxiao, and praised with a smile, "It seems that it is indeed beneficial to study abroad, and when this time is over, I plan to send your cousin Changping to the United Kingdom, and when he is successful in his studies, he will come back to help you." ”
Hearing the second child praise his son, Zheng Yunhong also had a smile on his face, turned his face with kindness, and asked Zheng Pengxiao: "How is your work in the newspaper recently?" ”
Zheng Pengxiao coughed: "It's not bad, I like to read English newspapers in school, I have some advanced opinions, and I only gave the employees a meeting in the morning, and there is no problem at work." I still had a few press releases to review, but I happened to turn to the report in the government gazette, so I hurried back to inform my father. ”
"Do you give employees a meeting? What about Su Jingxian? The second Zheng Yuntu frowned when he heard this, and spoke curiously.
"Cousin Axian? He recently got a girlfriend, and he hasn't shown up much in the past two days, and everything in the newspaper is decided by me and the editor-in-chief. Zheng Pengxiao paused for a moment and immediately spoke.
——————————
Su Jingxian, who had already driven to Sham Shui Po, naturally couldn't see the scene staged in the Repulse Bay villa, but if he knew that Zheng Pengxiao was belittling himself in front of the Zheng family brothers now, he would definitely laugh from ear to ear.
In the Tim Good Luck Tea Restaurant, Su Jingxian drove to the second floor with a familiar car, and Cai Xingkun had been waiting here for a long time.
This white paper fan of He Shenghe, a club boss with the nickname Scar Kun, has been doing better business day by day since he published an advertisement in the proud nightlife column of China Hong Kong Daily, and he has also met a few big water pipes who come to seek fun, and the limelight has faintly overwhelmed Ma Minghui, the king of night clubs in Kwun Tong District.
So even though the Haoqing nightlife column has passed the initial hot period, Cai Xingkun still contracts ten issues of advertising every month to praise his chicken girls
"Brother Kun, long time no see." As soon as he entered the second floor of the tea restaurant, Su Jingxian greeted Cai Xingkun who was sitting in the corner with a smile.
Cai Xingkun saw Su Jingxian go upstairs, and a smile appeared on his face, and he stood up and took the initiative to step forward: "Mr. Su is here?" You may be seated! ”
When the two met for the first time, Cai Xingkun instructed his subordinates to search Su Jingxian's whole body, but now goodbye, he didn't dare to do this kind of face-losing thing again, but took the initiative to meet him, with a hint of humility in his attitude.
Because the person who asked him to meet Su Jingxian this time was not Zhong Qiang, but Lu Le's henchman, Lard Boy.
Cai Xingkun talks about money and people, and now he is already the best in the prefix of the word, but after all, he is doing a shady business, and he knows that Lu Tanmu, who is in charge of Sham Shui Po, can beat him back to his original shape with just one sentence.
Sitting opposite Cai Xingkun, Su Jingxian smiled and got straight to the point: "Brother Kun, to make a long story short, I didn't come to talk to you about business this time, but to have fun." ”
