Chapter 710 Test
Liu Cixin has a high level of academic qualifications. He once studied in Canada and obtained a formal degree certificate.
Therefore, the saying "unlearned and unskillful" cannot be applied to Liu Cixin. Moreover, because of his experience studying abroad, his knowledge is much broader than that of ordinary people. It is easy for people to feel this during the conversation and be attracted by his unique charm.
During the conversation, Liu also felt that Song Yuanchao was different from ordinary people. Although Liu was the one who talked and Song Yuanchao was the one who listened, Song Yuanchao's words in response to Liu's tentative questions often made Liu feel refreshed.
Song Yuanchao's divergent thinking and some of his judgments on international and domestic issues, and even on future business development, are thought-provoking. Some aspects even coincide with what Liu Cixin had considered before, which makes Liu Cixin feel that Song Yuanchao is extraordinary.
"Mr. Song is friends with Mr. Qin from Shenghua?" After chatting for a while, Liu couldn't help but ask the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Haha, we're friends, I guess..." Song Yuanchao nodded. It didn't matter if he answered this question. Anyway, he came here today as Qin Zhengguo's friend. It was no secret.
"So Mr. Song and Shenghua Group are...?"
"I have several friends who are directors of Shenghua, and we also have certain cooperation with Shenghua in mainland business." Song Yuanchao answered in a evasive manner. There was nothing wrong with his answer.
Indeed, whether it is Li Daqi, Gu Jie, or Ying Caixia, aren't they all his friends? They are also shareholders of Shenghua and members of the board of directors.
As for the cooperation in the mainland, Shenghua is one of the shareholders of Si Te Company. As the chairman of Si Te, doesn’t Song Yuanchao have a way of cooperation?
However, when Liu Da heard this, he made a different judgment, because the conversations he had overheard before had made him suspect that Song Yuanchao was the real boss of Shenghua. Although Song Yuanchao did not give a direct answer now, judging from this answer, this possibility is very high.
"So that's how it is." Da Liu said happily: "Mr. Song, our company has always wanted to cooperate with Shenghua. I wonder if Mr. Song can help to connect us?"
"Cooperation?" Song Yuanchao was slightly stunned. He asked in confusion, "As far as I know, there is no overlap between Mr. Liu's company and Shenghua, right? Shenghua started out in textiles and clothing, while Mr. Liu started out in small home appliances. Isn't your company's main business now electric fans and other home appliances?"
"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Song to know so much about my company. It's such an honor." Big Liu chuckled.
"Boss Liu is a well-known figure in Hong Kong. How could I not know him? You just introduced yourself. Although I don't come to Hong Kong often, I have heard of Boss Liu's name. This is just the first time I've met you today."
"Hahaha, maybe this is fate." Liu laughed heartily, and then continued, "What Mr. Song said just now is right. My company did start out making electric fans, and currently we also produce other home appliances. Shenghua's main business is textiles and clothing, and there is no handover of our products, but I heard that part of Shenghua's telecommunications business is related to electronic products. I was thinking that if possible, we could cooperate in this area."
At the end, Liu Cixin said "we", which means that he has confirmed Song Yuanchao's true identity.
Song Yuanchao laughed in silence: "Boss Liu, there are differences between telecommunications products and ordinary household appliances. Telecommunications are mainly electronic products, not electrical products. You are not unaware of this difference, right?"
"Of course I know that, but Mr. Song, don't forget that electronics and electrical appliances are interconnected in many ways. My factory in Pengcheng is already in the planning stage, and if things go well, it will be officially put into production in a few months. Shenghua Telecom has Shenghua Electronics in Pengcheng, but as far as I know, Shenghua Electronics' current production is not large, and some of its parts need to find suitable factories to cooperate with. If Shenghua has any needs in this regard, I can definitely help."
At this point, Da Liu paused and continued, "In addition, it is said that Shenghua is doing well in the real estate industry in Pengcheng. To be honest, I am also very interested in this area. Since we are all friends, we can cooperate with each other at that time. What do you think?"
"When did this guy know so much about Sheng Hua?" Song Yuanchao was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at him.
I saw that Liu had a simple and honest look on his face, as if he knew nothing, and what he said just now were just some simple Mandarin words.
"There is no false reputation under a great name." For a moment, this thought flashed through Song Yuanchao's mind, and he had to admire Liu's keen business sense.
"I can't make the decision on this. Why don't you talk to Boss Qin directly?" Song Yuanchao used Tai Chi pushing hands and pointed in a certain direction in the cocktail party. Following the direction he pointed, Qin Zhengguo was holding a glass of wine and chatting and laughing with a few wealthy people.
"Hahaha, Boss Qin is a very busy man, and it's not appropriate to disturb him now. Since you are his friend, I would like to trouble you to help make the connection, or find a time in the next few days to arrange a place for us to sit together and drink tea, how about that?" As he said this, Liu put his hands together and made a gesture of request to Song Yuanchao.
It is a custom not to hit a smiling person. It was indeed difficult for Song Yuanchao to refuse Liu Cixin's words to this extent. Moreover, the attitude shown by Liu Cixin could be regarded as "respectful to the wise and humble". In addition, although Liu Cixin was a little promiscuous in relationships between men and women, he was indeed a good hand in business. It was not impossible for them to cooperate normally.
Apart from these, Song Yuanchao also thought of another thing, which was Liu's company. At present, the domestic market for small household appliances is still mostly blank, and the market for small household appliances will be very huge for a long time in the future.
Liu's company is quite famous in Hong Kong, and is also a leader in this field. It would not be a bad thing for Shenghua if they could cooperate in this area.
After thinking for a while, Song Yuanchao nodded slightly. Liu was overjoyed and left Song Yuanchao a personal business card with his personal phone number on it .
This kind of business card is different from ordinary official business cards. It will not be given to anyone other than relatives, friends or important partners. Giving such a business card to others is enough to show Liu Cixin's sincerity.
After receiving the business card, Song Yuanchao smiled and said that he didn't have a business card for Liu. Liu waved his hand and said it was okay, he would wait for Song Yuanchao's call. The number on the business card was answered 24 hours a day. Song Yuanchao would make the arrangements and Liu would keep the appointment no matter how busy he was.
After exchanging a few polite words and finishing his cigarette, Song Yuanchao shook hands with Liu Da and pointed inside the cocktail party.
Big Liu made a gesture of invitation with understanding, and Song Yuanchao then turned and walked towards the reception venue.
"Honey……"
After Song Yuanchao left, a gorgeous young woman came over from the side, came to Da Liu, and put her hand on Da Liu's arm.
"Haha, are you bored, baby?" Da Liu smiled at the woman and raised his hand to touch her smooth face full of collagen.
"You are so annoying. You left me alone and came here to smoke." The woman shook Liu's arm coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, isn't it done? I was just afraid that you'd get choked up so I asked you to go walk around on your own. What's wrong? You missed me in such a short time?"
"Well, I miss you, I want to..." The woman leaned close to Liu's ear and whispered.
Da Liu laughed and stretched out his hand to tighten the woman's waist: "Be patient, don't be anxious, I will make you happy today."
"whee……"
The two flirted with each other, and Liu put his arm around the woman as they walked into the party. Halfway through the meeting, the woman curiously asked who the young man was who was talking to Liu. How come she had never seen him before? And they seemed to be speaking Mandarin. Could this young man be from the mainland?
Big Liu just laughed and didn't explain. He just said two more words to divert the woman's attention. After a moment, she forgot about Song Yuanchao.
After the cocktail party, Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo left together just like when they came.
Song Yuanchao did not raise a bid at the auction, but Qin Zhengguo did buy something, an ancient painting donated by someone else.
The ancient painting is not very old, it is from the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, but the painter is quite prominent, it is a work by Bada Shanren.
Although this work is not Bada Shanren's representative work, it can also be regarded as a fine product. Qin Zhengguo spent some money to buy it and planned to hang it in his study to add an artistic atmosphere.
Song Yuanchao didn't say anything after seeing it. There was no doubt about the authenticity of the painting. Christie's certified it would definitely not be a fake. Although the price was a little expensive, compared to the room for appreciation in the future, Qin Zhengguo still made a profit.
Sitting in the car, Song Yuanchao glanced at the driver and pressed the partition button between the front and back seats. Soon a piece of glass rose up, separating them from the driver.
"Do you know Liu Lianxiong?" Song Yuanchao asked.
"Liu Lianxiong? The one who makes electric fans?" Qin Zhengguo replied after being stunned.
Song Yuanchao nodded, took out Da Liu's business card and showed it to him, then briefly told him how he met Da Liu today.
After listening to Song Yuanchao's words, Qin Zhengguo frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "This guy's nose is as sharp as a dog's. It seems that he is not only good at finding women, but also good at smelling things. What does he want to do? It can't be as simple as cooperation, right?"
"Haha, that's hard to say." Song Yuanchao laughed, "But no matter what, I can't see any malice in what he said. Besides, there is no overlap between our business and his business, so we are not competitors."
"That's true." Qin Zhengguo nodded and said, "I know this person, but I haven't had much dealings with him. In recent years, his name is still very famous in Hong Kong. And according to his suggestion, it would not be a bad thing for Shenghua Telecom if his company could do some of the OEM. Aren't they working on mainland cooperative companies these days? I have also thought about it. Once the cooperative companies are fully established, the business volume will increase greatly in the future. Shenghua Electronics' current production capacity is definitely not enough."
"I was originally considering looking for a few cooperative factories to do some OEM work, of course, only for normal accessories, and the key technologies must be in our hands. Da Liu's company is pretty good in this regard, and there is no problem with normal cooperation. If his factory can meet the standards, we can give it a try."
