Chapter 709 Da Liu
Song Yuanchao had discussed this issue privately with Qin Zhengguo before, and Li Daqi and Xu Hui also knew about it, as well as Gu Jie and Ying Caixia.
The purpose of doing this is also to reassure everyone so that no one will be tempted by the listing and cause internal disunity.
Although some people did not understand Song Yuanchao's idea of setting up separate companies to list the textile and clothing industries instead of listing the entire company, out of trust in Song Yuanchao, everyone finally agreed to his plan.
The specific implementation will begin after Shenghua Telecom's mainland business is fully launched. Even if it is listed, Song Yuanchao will not go to Boss Wang for help. There are so many professional companies in Hong Kong, he can go through formal channels.
Worried that Qin Zhengguo would be bewitched by Boss Wang, Song Yuanchao specifically reminded him, but fortunately, Qin Zhengguo was still very reliable in this regard, and his trust in Song Yuanchao was unmatched by anyone else.
The two sat and chatted for a while. After a while, someone Qin Zhengguo knew came over to say hello. Qin Zhengguo could only give Song Yuanchao an apologetic look, stood up and started talking to the other person. Then he was pulled to the other side by the other person to meet other business friends who came today.
After Qin Zhengguo left, Song Yuanchao continued to sit and watch the "scenery". Anyway, not many people here knew him, and he was very young, so most people just thought that Song Yuanchao was a junior from the boss's family, who was brought by the elders to see the world.
After finishing the wine in the glass, Song Yuanchao put the empty glass aside, then looked around, stood up and walked towards the balcony.
When they reached the balcony, Song Yuanchao took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
Smoking is prohibited at the reception venue. Although there is a special cigar room not far away, Song Yuanchao doesn't smoke that stuff and he doesn't know anyone there, so he simply goes to the balcony to smoke.
There were quite a few people smoking on the balcony. When Song Yuanchao arrived, several people could not resist the urge to smoke. But among these people, there were both men and women. Song Yuanchao only knew a familiar male star. This male star became famous in later generations, but now was not his most popular time.
As for the other people who came, Song Yuanchao looked unfamiliar. He didn't know whether they were from the entertainment industry or the business world. They were all smoking together and nodded to each other politely, but there was no conversation, after all, no one knew each other.
After taking a few puffs of the cigarette, a questioning voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Can I borrow a light?"
Song Yuanchao turned around and saw a young man in his thirties standing in front of him, who asked him with a smile.
Song Yuanchao took out a lighter and handed it over. The other party said thank you, took the lighter, lit a cigarette, and then handed the lighter back to Song Yuanchao.
"Sir, are you coming from the mainland?" the other party asked with a polite smile.
"How do you know?"
"Haha, let me apologize first. Just now when I was in there, I saw you and Boss Qin chatting. You were speaking mainland Mandarin, so I guessed that sir was from the mainland." The other party stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where Song Yuanchao was sitting in the corner of the cocktail party.
Song Yuanchao frowned slightly. He didn't expect that his conversation with Qin Zhengguo just now was overheard by someone, and he didn't know what the other party heard.
"I just passed by you and Boss Qin." As if sensing Song Yuanchao's displeasure, the other party hurriedly explained. After all, eavesdropping on other people's conversations was extremely impolite, and those who came today were all people of status.
Song Yuanchao's brows relaxed, and he nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am from the mainland, and this time I was invited by a friend to come to this cocktail party to see the world."
"Hahaha, you are an interesting person." The other party burst into laughter.
"What do you mean?"
"Most people wouldn't say such things in this kind of situation, but you spoke the truth very frankly, without any embarrassment."
"Isn't frankness a virtue? Wearing a fake mask every day and caring about other people's feelings, don't you think this kind of life is too tiring? Besides, I'm just telling the truth. Among the many guests who came today, there are many who think like me. I'm just expressing everyone's thoughts. What's embarrassing about it?"
"Well said!" The other party was surprised and suddenly felt like a close friend. Song Yuanchao's words touched his heart.
"You're right. Nice to meet you. I'm Liu Lianxiong."
"Song Yuanchao."
The two men stretched out their hands and shook hands. Song Yuanchao of course knew who the other person was. This seemingly honest guy was a frequent guest in gossip magazines.
For a long time afterwards, this man's name often appeared when talking about Hong Kong gossip or some famous female stars.
Leaving aside the other party's business ability and financial resources, what he had to say about those female stars was a topic of conversation among many people.
There is a rumor among the people that there is a kind of stunning girlfriend called Liu Lianxiong. Among them, there is a beautiful lady who is popular in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, and is known as the most beautiful Hong Kong sister. If we only compare them in terms of appearance, she is just an average existence among this guy's previous girlfriends.
When Liu was at his richest, he was only ranked sixth on the Hong Kong Rich List. He certainly couldn't compare to the previous celebrities in terms of wealth. But when it comes to the number of girlfriends, Liu is second to none in Hong Kong. Moreover, each of his girlfriends is of high quality and beautiful. Apart from these girlfriends, he often flirts with other women. It is said that there is no female star that he can't handle. He is known as the "female star sniper" and his romantic deeds are countless.
But it's strange to say that although Liu Cixin is a playboy, he is very good to all his girlfriends, and they often remain good friends after breaking up. It is not an exaggeration to say that such a man is an outlier among men, and it is also his unique ability.
Now, because of a coincidence, Song Yuanchao got to know Liu.
Song Yuanchao had no discrimination against such "amorous" men, and of course there was nothing to envy.
Song Yuanchao respects everyone's lifestyle, just like having Lin Yan alone is enough for him, but as for other people's personal lives, Song Yuanchao's opinions are their private affairs, and there is no need to criticize them with a magnifying glass like an old moral scholar.
The two men started chatting while smoking. During the interaction, Song Yuanchao felt that the other party was indeed a person with unique charm, who was humorous and knowledgeable. His free and cheerful personality made people quite fond of him. In addition, Liu had a seemingly honest face, which made him easy to trust.
But Song Yuanchao knew that Liu was not a pure good man. Apart from his private life, his business skills were very impressive. Otherwise, Liu, who was just an ordinary person six years ago, would not have developed a small fan factory with only 20 people into a large company with 10,000 employees with only 17,000 Hong Kong dollars in assets.
Today's Liu is no longer the poor boy he used to be. It is said that when he first got married, his dream was to own a 150-square-meter house and have a deposit of 1 million in the bank.
Now, Liu's company has been listed. After the listing, his net worth has soared to 500 million Hong Kong dollars, making him a new rich man in Hong Kong.
At present, Liu's main business is still electric fans and small household appliances. With the reform and opening up of the mainland, business opportunities in this area have enabled his company to achieve a leapfrog growth.
The company's products have entered the European and American markets and have won many orders by offering lower prices than European and American products.
Liu is a natural businessman with a keen business sense.
He was no stranger to Qin Zhengguo. Although they had never worked together before , they had met and dealt with each other on many occasions.
Shenghua Group has only developed in recent years. It was established later than Liu's company, but its development speed in recent years has been very rapid, not inferior to Liu's company at all.
Moreover, through his connections, Liu found out that Shenghua is not only engaged in the textile and clothing industry, but has also entered the telecommunications industry.
Not many people in Hong Kong know about the establishment of Shenghua Telecom, because the company's main business is not in Hong Kong. It has only acquired a small wireless paging station in Hong Kong and is engaged in ordinary paging business.
But according to what Liu knows, Shenghua Telecom's main business is in the mainland, and it also has professional factories and R&D institutions such as Shenghua Electronics in Pengcheng.
Although Liu is engaged in the production of household appliances, which are somewhat different from telecommunications products, the difference is not big in essence. After studying the mainland telecommunications market, Liu concluded that Shenghua Telecom's development must be very brilliant and this company is very likely to be a promising enterprise in the future.
In addition, Liu also noticed the layout of Shenghua Group in Pengcheng, and the two large-scale parks of Shenghua in Pengcheng made Liu jealous. Because Liu is currently considering gradually transferring the company's manufacturing business from Hong Kong to Pengcheng, he personally went to Pengcheng for an inspection some time ago and was surprised to find that Shenghua was so famous in Pengcheng.
In addition to these, Shenghua Group also started real estate in Pengcheng, which coincided with Liu's future business plan. It was for these reasons that Liu paid close attention to Shenghua Group. When he saw Qin Zhengguo coming to the cocktail party today, Liu, who was originally planning to approach him, unexpectedly heard the conversation between Qin Zhengguo and Song Yuanchao.
He only heard a few simple sentences of the conversation, and did not hear some important contents about the company's listing. But based on these few simple conversations, plus Qin Zhengguo's attitude towards the young man Song Yuanchao, Da Liu suddenly became interested in Song Yuanchao and began to secretly ponder Song Yuanchao's identity.
In Shenghua Group, Xu Hui is the president and Qin Zhengguo is the chairman, and Liu Cixin is very clear about this.
However, in the process of getting to know Shenghua, Liu was surprised to find that although Qin Zhengguo was the chairman of the board, Qin Zhengguo was not the major shareholder of Shenghua, and the real boss of Shenghua was someone else.
But Liu Cixin has no idea who this person is. It is said that only a few directors and a few senior executives in the entire Shenghua Group know about him, and ordinary employees have never even heard of him.
Liu had investigated this secret but found nothing. He even wondered if there was a Hong Kong tycoon behind Shenghua. But today, after accidentally seeing and hearing a few simple conversations between Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo, Liu suddenly realized that his previous guess might be wrong. The real boss behind Shenghua Group was most likely the young man from the mainland standing in front of him.
