Chapter 1124 Paradise
On that day, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yuhang had a good drink. They both enjoyed themselves very much and talked about many past events.
When talking about how Lin Yuhang went to work in a company and asked Song Yuanchao for help in order to open up the situation, and then started making loquat syrup and later dabbled in health products such as ginseng and royal jelly, they both laughed out loud at the same time .
What happened many years ago seems to be right before their eyes. They were still very young back then. Seeing the company rejuvenated and grow bigger and stronger in their hands, they felt an immense sense of pride and honor in their hearts.
However, this is all in the past. When Lin Yuhang talked about how his previous company inevitably lost its vitality in the competition and went into recession in recent years, and how the company he founded was eventually merged with another state-owned enterprise, and even the company's name was not saved, his words were filled with great regret and sigh.
Song Yuanchao persuaded him a little, saying that this was unavoidable, and that health care product companies like this basically rely on marketing methods, and have very high requirements for product planning and management. It can be said that the success or failure of a company is completely related to the managers themselves. Not to mention state-owned enterprises like theirs, even private enterprises are the same. Such things are everywhere. Haven't we seen less in so many years of reform and opening up?
After hearing what Song Yuanchao said, Lin Yuhang sighed and nodded. However, although this was the fact, he still felt bad that the company he founded had fallen to this state today.
Then, they talked about their past in Chao County. What made Lin Yuhang happy was that the local economic development did not stagnate after he left Chao County, which meant that his work foundation in Chao County was still very solid. Moreover, the companies in Chao County were different from the ones he had worked for before. Their products were more competitive and their managers were more courageous and had more ideas.
Since they hadn't seen each other for a long time and they were having a great time chatting, they naturally drank a little more.
Song Yuanchao didn't know when it ended. He vaguely remembered that he got drunk at the end. After staggering to see Lin Yuhang off, he returned to his room and fell asleep on the bed without even taking a shower.
When I woke up the next day, it was already dawn and Lin Yan was not at home. There was a note on the table saying that she had gone to Rowling's place.
After taking a shower to wash off the remaining alcohol, Song Yuanchao felt much better. But his stomach was growling. He drank too much last night but didn't eat much. He also slept all night, so he was already starving.
When they went to the restaurant downstairs, the servants had already prepared breakfast for Song Yuanchao. Lin Yan knew that Song Yuanchao would be hungry before she went out, so she specifically instructed the servants.
After sitting down and drinking a sip of soy milk, Song Yuanchao started to have breakfast. After a while, his stomach was full, the feeling of hunger disappeared, and he also felt a little lazy.
After breakfast, although Song Yuanchao didn't want to move, he still forced himself to get up and walk around.
As one gets older, his metabolism is not as good as when he was young. Song Yuanchao, who has experienced this, knows this very well. Especially if one does not walk around to digest the food after being hungry for a long time, it will not be good for the body.
Song Yuanchao went to the garden and walked slowly along the gravel path in the garden. After walking in circles for about ten minutes, the lazy feeling he had before gradually disappeared, and he became energetic.
After walking for a while and sweating a little, Song Chaoyuan came to the stone bench in the garden and sat down. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
Yesterday, because of drunkenness, Song Chaoyuan and Lin Yuhang only talked about whatever came to mind. Now that he was sober, Song Chaoyuan suddenly remembered what Lin Yuhang mentioned yesterday about Zhang Liming.
He thought seriously, pondering the real intention of Zhang Liming calling Lin Yuhang. At that time, Song Chaoyuan also considered this issue, and several possible ideas flashed , and he also vaguely grasped Zhang Liming's thoughts. However, at that time, because Lin Yuhang was there, he didn't have much time to think carefully, but now that he was alone, he could think about it carefully.
Song Chaoyuan knew the source of Shi Lei's company's problems, and he knew the reason for the current complicated situation. But at this time, Zhang Liming suddenly sent a message to him through Lin Yuhang. In addition to the several possibilities he considered, what other meanings did it have?
Song Chaoyuan was very familiar with Zhang Liming, although the two of them had never gotten along well and had fought each other several times, both openly and secretly.
But to be honest, although Song Yuanchao didn't like Zhang Liming, he still had some respect for him. The reason for his dislike was that he was very fake in his behavior and actions. He had a strong purpose in everything he did, and often used any means to achieve his goals. But he had to admit that Zhang Liming was quite capable, both in vision and ability, and with his background, he wouldn't have had such a smooth career.
If the message Zhang Liming conveyed to him through Lin Yuhang was just to forget the grudges with a smile, then Song Yuanchao would never believe it. Based on his understanding of Zhang Liming, he was a hypocrite who could bend and stretch, and could do anything to achieve his goals, not to mention pretending to be a grandson.
Just like some figures in history, what does it matter if they have to endure hardships and suffer humiliation? As long as they can succeed in the end, these are not a problem at all. Zhang Liming is no longer the same as before. He has fallen into a big setback and no longer has the strong capital he had back then. If something goes wrong now, then it is easy to imagine what the result will be for him.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Liming suddenly showed goodwill to Song Yuanchao, displayed such an attitude, and conveyed these words, which could not but make Song Chaoyuan think deeply.
After finishing one cigarette, Song Yuanchao showed a thoughtful expression. He got up and walked quickly back to the house. After closing the door of the study, he started to contact people. He made calls for more than three hours. After finishing all the calls, Song Chaoyuan felt relieved.
Saturday and Sunday are weekends, so the stock market is naturally closed. Time flies and it is another Monday. On this day, Song Yuanchao did not go to Nanjing as originally planned, but stayed in Shanghai. He went to the office of Shenghua Building early in the morning and was busy with official business for a while. At around 9:20, Song Chaoyuan turned on the computer, called up the stock software, directly entered the code of Shi Lei's company, and then carefully looked at the stock bidding dynamics.
He watched for a long time. At 9:30, the stock market opened on time. With the changes in the stock price of Shi Lei's company and the back and forth fighting of funds, Song Yuanchao frowned more and more. He picked up the phone and called the trader directly to ask about the situation. The other party reported to Song Yuanchao truthfully. After listening, Song Yuanchao hung up the phone and lit a cigarette without saying a word.
For the entire day, Song Yuanchao didn't even leave his office, and watched the market until the afternoon closing.
After the market closed, Song Yuanchao made several phone calls in succession. Only when it got dark outside did he turn off the computer.
I walked to the window and looked at the night scene with lights just coming on, especially the buildings on the opposite side of the river with strong historical imprints. For a moment, I felt as if I was back in a hundred years ago.
Shanghai, once known as the "Adventurer's Paradise", plays a very important role in China's modern history, and many historical events are inextricably linked to it.
Now, with the coming of the new century, Shanghai still occupies a very important position, and in it, the East and the West, the new and the traditional, the ordinary and the luxury are blended together in an ingenious way. This is something that no other city in China has, and it is also the real reason why Shanghai has a unique charm.
His gaze gradually returned from the other side of the river to the front. Looking at several newly built buildings that were taller and more majestic than Shenghua Building, Song Chaoyuan couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
In just a few decades, the changes here are really huge. In the early years, the ground under his feet was still a barren farmland, but now it has become so prosperous.
Social progress has brought material abundance and earth-shaking changes. This is what Song Yuanchao saw before his eyes. This is the trend of history and an inevitable result.
Back to the situation of Shi Lei's company, today's stock market situation seems to be as fierce as before, but Song Yuanchao saw something that outsiders overlooked. And he also confirmed his guess from this aspect. If Song Yuanchao's guess is correct, then the real meaning of Zhang Liming asking Lin Yuhang to bring him a message is there.
Thinking of this, Song Chaoyuan shook his head. He had completely understood why Zhang Liming did this. If it were an outsider, he might not understand Zhang Liming's true intention, but Song Yuanchao was different. He knew Zhang Liming too well. Combined with the actual situation, Song Yuanchao was 90% sure that his judgment was correct.
Yanjing, a courtyard house.
This is Hu Yaoqing's residence. When he was young, Hu Yaoqing was a person who loved to show off and have fun. At that time, he was obsessed with and admired Western culture. Coupled with the social atmosphere at that time, Hu Yaoqing preferred to live in his old villa. Moreover, the place was large and it was a good place to gather friends to hold dances and have fun.
However, as he got older , Hu Yaoqing's preferences changed. Although the old villa is still there, he has rarely lived in it in recent years. Every time he returns to Yanjing, he lives in this carefully renovated courtyard house most of the time. In his words, this courtyard house is located close to the Forbidden City and can get more of the so-called "dragon energy".
Hu Yaoqing himself is in the real estate business, so he has no shortage of houses. He bought this courtyard house more than ten years ago. The price was not expensive at that time. Although it was much more expensive than when Song Chaoyuan bought it, it is already a bargain compared to the current price.
The area of the courtyard house is slightly smaller than Song Yuanchao's, after all, a courtyard like Song Yuanchao's is hard to come by. But the decoration here is completely different from Song Yuanchao's. Except for the appearance of the courtyard house, the interior has been completely replaced with the latest Western-style decoration. Song Yuanchao would definitely not like this style, but Hu Yaoqing feels good about it.
