Chapter Six Hundred and Ninety Second National Differences

Li Dong chatted with Lan Xingguo and the others for a while.

They are all strong men in the business world, even Wang Minghui, who is the least talkative, can make everyone laugh with a few words.

While the few people were chatting, several bosses came to report one after another.

Chen Kaixuan, CEO of Liby Group, Qian Jinbo, founder of Red Dragonfly, Liu Wei, CEO of Guoshitong Investment, Yang Shaopeng of SITC Holdings, Feng Dongming of Markor Investment...

Without exception, Li Dong has almost heard the name.

Although some groups are not well-known, their strength is not weak at all.

For example, SITC Holdings is the largest private shipping giant in China. Not many people may have heard of Yang Shaopeng's name, but it does not mean that the other party is not strong.

Moreover, Yang Shaopeng has participated in the CEO class of China Europe Business School before, and this time he came to participate in the CEO class of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business again, naturally not for a short few days of investigation.

Ninety-nine out of ten bosses who came to Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business had one idea in mind to spread out their network.

With the name of a college student, you can contact not only their current class of students, but also the previous class, the next class, and more business school students.

This is a big network, including more than 90% of the contacts of domestic private giants.

In China, there are very few people who can build this network now.

At least Li Dong is still far away from this step. The Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association he established with great pains cannot even win half of the Jiangbei business community, let alone the entire Huaxia.

Because there were more and more people, Xiang Bing waited for a while and said, "Everyone, why don't we have a meal together first, and the itinerary notice will be sent to your mailbox later, and we can talk slowly after the class officially starts?"

Naturally, everyone has no opinion, and it is reasonable to have a meal to get closer.

At this time, Zhang Lan, who was chatting with Wu Yajun, hurriedly said: "Dean, don't, didn't you agree to let me be the host? I am a veteran student of the college. Today, everyone finally got together. It's a reward. How about a potluck from my side?

The restaurant is just downstairs, the grade may not be too high, but the taste and hygiene are definitely not discounted. "

South Beauty has a store in Oriental Plaza, but the grade is indeed as Zhang Lan said, it can only be regarded as mediocre.

If you don't know each other,

That Zhang Lan would definitely not say that.

But now she is a classmate anyway, and she is also a figure of many faces, and she has become familiar with other people just after a while.

In addition, she is still a veteran student of the business school, so if she wants to be a host at this time, the probability of everyone's objection is not high.

Sure enough, when Xiang Bing asked everyone for their opinions, no one objected.

Seeing this, Xiang Bing was also slightly relieved. These bosses are no more autonomous than the students in the ordinary class.

But after all, Zhang Lan has known him for several years, and Xiang Bing also wants to support his favorite student.

The CEOs of dozens of large groups went to South Beauty for a dinner party. To put it bluntly, it was an affirmation of South Beauty.

If Zhang Lan will take advantage of this opportunity, South Beauty may have a big development next.

Zhang Lan had been seeking financing before, and there were several investment companies present today. Once they were able to win them, it would not be easy to raise hundreds of millions of dollars.

...

South Beauty Oriental Plaza is very close to the business school.

After a few minutes, everyone arrived at the hotel.

Zhang Lan's secretary had come over early to make arrangements, and the huge hotel had no customers, so it was clear that the place was cleared immediately.

The manager of the restaurant and the waiters were divided into two rows and stood at the door to welcome everyone, giving them a lot of face.

As the oldest student, Lan Xingguo smiled at Zhang Lan and said, "Xiao Zhang, that's too much. It's just a meal. Isn't this delaying your business?"

Zhang Lan quickly smiled and said, "Brother Lan, I made you laugh. In fact, the business here is not very good at ordinary times. I just want to use you as a signboard. Why don't you help my little sister, Brother Lan? Take a picture together?"

Lan Xingguo laughed and said: "I'm just a bad old man, what's the use of taking a photo with me. Besides, at the foot of the emperor in the capital, people know me as the green onion. You have to find Xiao Li, who is a national celebrity."

Li Dong, who was watching the show, hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Don't make fun of me, big brother. I'm not a celebrity. Besides, I'm not a photogenic person. I'll be responsible for opening my mouth today. Don't ask me anything else."

Everyone immediately laughed, but no one mentioned the group photo.

It's not that everyone is unwilling to satisfy Zhang Lan with such a small request, it's just that the catering is different from others.

The food safety problem is still very serious.

The bosses of several private companies are fine. If Lan Xingguo and the others take a group photo, once South Beauty's food safety accidents break out, they will be held accountable if they fail to do so.

If it's not a big problem, it's a problem.

After all, it was the first time for everyone to meet. At this time, they even just knew their names. Who would want to do such a thing.

Zhang Lan was obviously in a hurry today. If everyone hangs out together for a few days, taking a photo is actually a trivial matter, and everyone won't care too much.

But now we have only known each other for less than an hour, so naturally everyone will not give too much face.

Seeing that everyone didn't mention this, Zhang Lan is not an idiot. She suddenly realized that she was in a hurry, and immediately changed the topic and greeted people with a smile: "Everyone, let's go in. Just order whatever you want to eat today, don't think we are mainly Sichuan cuisine , in fact, all major cuisines can do it.

Everyone is well-informed, and by the way, check the level of our chefs and give us suggestions. "

After she finished speaking, everyone quickly responded with a smile.

Lan Xingguo also smiled and said, "Just bring me your best Sichuan cuisine. I'd like to see how it differs from our local Sichuan cuisine."

While talking, everyone began to sit down.

But when seated, there are still some small episodes.

As the dean, Xiang Bing, no matter what the reason, he is in the chair, and he can justify it.

Lan Xingguo was the oldest, and no one said he was wrong when he sat next to him.

But for the third position, there are some troubles.

There are many people present who have this ability to take the top spot, such as Wang Minghui of YN Baiyao, the head of a large state-owned enterprise.

Yang Shaopeng of SITC Holdings, the boss of private shipping.

And Li Dong, who is the youngest but richest among the crowd.

Although Li Dong is young, no one dares to ignore him.

The status of everyone in the field may not be lower than him, but what the business community really sees is the strong capital. Li Dong Capital is one of the best. After all, Yuanfang Group is controlled by him alone, and this is the gap.

Wu Yajun continued to invite Li Dong to take the seat, but Li Dong smiled and said, "You are all my big brothers and sisters. I am the youngest, so I just sit in the back."

After saying this, Li Dong ignored everyone's dissuasion and sat down at the bottom.

In fact, in Li Dong's view, it's just a simple meal, and it doesn't make any difference even if he takes the lead.

Moreover, he was young, so if he really wanted to sit on it, he would be criticized instead.

As soon as Li Dong refused, Yang Shaopeng also smiled and said: "Brother Li, let's sit and chat together. You Yuanfang Express and our SITC have business overlaps. You do land transportation, and I do sea transportation. They have a common topic."

Speaking of which, Yang Shaopeng walked to Li Dong with a smile and sat down. Although Wang Minghui still wanted to continue to give way, everyone took their seats one after another and gave him the third seat.

Although Wang Minghui is not very old, he is the head of a state-owned enterprise.

Compared with the major private enterprises, the bosses of these state-owned enterprises care more about some things on the scene.

For example, the boss of Liby has never fought from the beginning to the end, and the bosses of several other private groups are also very low-key. Private groups pay more attention to actual interests, and generally keep a low profile unless it is really necessary.

As soon as Wang Minghui sat down, the seat was confirmed.

As the host, Zhang Lan didn't ask the waiter to come up to help. Instead, she busily took orders for everyone, and even served tea and water.

In fact, she is not too young, and her net worth is not too low.

But at this time, Li Dong had to say, this woman can afford to let go, a woman can do this, she really has her own successful side.

When Zhang Lan was about to pour tea for him, Li Dong hurriedly got up and took the teapot and said with a smile, "Miss Zhang, don't worry about it, I can do it myself."

Zhang Lan smiled and said: "What's the matter, I just can't be idle, and I do all the housework at home by myself, and the boy in our family just points at me to cook for him all day long."

Li Dong smiled and said: "It's all the same. When I'm at home, I also point to my mother to cook for me."

"That's different, if our kid is half as promising as Li Dong..."

Zhang Lan patted a few words of flattery indiscriminately, and Li Dong accompanied him with a smile on his face.

Because Zhang Lan was still busy in other places, the two talked a few words, and Zhang Lan went to other places.

As soon as she left, Yang Shaopeng, who was sitting next to Li Dong, said with emotion: "It's not easy for private entrepreneurs!"

Li Dongwen smiled and said: "It's not easy, but the domestic market is like this, there is no way."

From the reform and opening up to the present, the country has always been dominated by state-owned enterprises, supplemented by private enterprises.

Is it difficult for private enterprises?

It's hard to say, it's really hard!

Financing is difficult, talent is scarce, and risks are high...

But also because of this, private enterprises have racked their brains to save energy and reduce consumption, reduce costs and expenditures, tap potential and increase efficiency. Every time the market is facing changes, most of them are actually pioneers and pioneers.

Why?

Stay the same or die, it's that simple.

Yang Shaopeng probably felt that Zhang Lan lowered his status so much in order to win an opportunity for cooperation and financing.

The rabbit dies and the fox is sad. In fact, most private entrepreneurs feel this way.

This is probably one of the reasons why private entrepreneurs prefer to form cliques. Unlike the natural advantages of state-owned enterprises, people like Li Dong need to manage their personal connections step by step.

If you don't have to worry about this, who has the spare time to join this association or that association.

With that time, they might have created greater benefits.

But it doesn't work in China, this is a society of human relationships, even Ma Yun ten years later will still have a lot of names on him.

People are really so idle, do they have to set up these associations?

There is no other way, if you want to do something, you have to do it like this.
