Chapter 124 I Am the Chairman of Shengshi Group
The next morning.
Early in the morning, around 6 o'clock, Zhuang Rongxu and the others arrived at the Nanshan District Industrial Park.
Zhuang Rongxu thought he had arrived early, after all, the auspicious time for laying the foundation stone was 7.30.
But when he arrived at the scene, there was already a sea of people. At a glance, in addition to the management of his company, there were also directors from Pengcheng.
"Director Chen, our chairman is here." Zhou Hai happily said to Director Chen, the person in charge of Pengcheng next to him, after seeing the car coming.
"Oh, is Comrade Xiaozhuang here?"
"Yes, the chairman arrived in Pengcheng yesterday." Zhou Hai responded.
"This...General Manager Zhou, this is your fault. Comrade Xiaozhuang is currently the largest investor in Pengcheng. How could you not notify me when he arrives, so that I can go there to greet him in person?" Director Chen said a little He said not very happily.
"Director Chen, our chairman is just afraid that you will do this if you know he is here. You are so busy with official duties, how dare you trouble you with such a trivial matter?" Zhou Hai flattered Director Chen very tactfully.
"No, no, no, no matter how busy you are, you still have to welcome Comrade Xiaozhuang. General Manager Zhou, remember to inform me next time. Sorry for the trouble." Director Chen said modestly without any official tone.
"This... okay, I remember it."
"Let's go and greet Comrade Xiaozhuang together."
"Director Chen, please..."
"Let's go together, no need to be polite."
Soon Director Chen and Zhou Hai came to where Zhuang Rongxu parked his car: "Comrade Xiaozhuang, why didn't you contact me when you came to Pengcheng? I..."
"Thank you for your concern, Director Chen. I'm afraid it will affect your work. Besides, I'm here just to participate in the foundation laying of the industrial park."
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, you can't say this. You are an important investor in our Pengcheng, so the reception you need is a must."
"Thank you again for your attention, Director Chen. I will remember it next time. Let's talk inside, please."
"Okay, Comrade Xiaozhuang, please."
Entering the temporary venue set up for the ceremony, Zhuang Rongxu and Director Chen sat on the stools together. Some breakfast items were also prepared on site, which were set up with temporary tents and other items.
In Pengcheng in May, the sun is still very poisonous in the morning. If there are no tents, the venue will not end until 8-9 o'clock, fearing that people will die from the sun.
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, let me introduce you. This is our newly transferred second cadre from Pengcheng, Director Zhong Weijie. If I am not around in the future, I can always find him."
"Hello, Director Zhong, it's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me. I'm glad to meet you." Zhuang Rongxu greeted the person introduced by Director Chen politely.
The other party will be the second-in-command of Pengcheng in the future. Now Zhuang Rongxu has a shallow foundation, and what he needs most is to know more people like this.
In the future, a lot of his business will definitely be inland. If he doesn't know more of these people, many things will not be dealt with.
You must know that this place is all about human relations and sophistication. If you don't have connections, haha, in short, everything will be difficult to handle.
"Hello, Comrade Xiaozhuang, we finally met. You are really young and promising. You are younger and more handsome than I imagined. It was beyond my expectation when we met today. I am also very happy to meet you." Director Zhong He politely stretched out his hand and shook it with Zhuang Rongxu.
"Director Zhong, you have given me the award."
"Hehehe, Comrade Xiaozhuang is a real young talent. Although his father is Comrade Shiping, he does not rely on his father. He does everything by himself. He has achieved this in his early 20s. This Chen I admire you very much."
"Director Chen, are you even making fun of me?" Zhuang Rongxu blushed when he heard Director Chen's words.
He knows that without his father's support, he would not be able to do as well as he is today, and he is probably still worried about funds.
Without the 10 million guaranteed by his father for the loan, he would not have had the funds to invest in the stock market and would have missed these good opportunities to make money. Then it would be impossible for him to have the money to engage in industry now.
So now when he heard Director Chen say this, he still felt very embarrassed.
It doesn't matter if people talk about these topics outside, but if they really talk about it, Zhuang Rongxu will not admit this false reputation. He himself will be embarrassed to hear it.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Let's continue to introduce. This is Deputy Director He of Pengcheng Investment Department, and this is Director Chen Haojie. He is in charge of the industrial and commercial planning department. They are both Pengcheng The backbone of the people."
"Deputy Director He, hello Director Chen, this is our first meeting, please take care of us." Zhuang Rongxu stretched out his hand to them again.
"How are you, Comrade Xiaozhuang..."
After getting to know each other, they started to find topics to talk about.
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, I really need to ask you something. I heard that you have something to do with Xiangjiang Hutchison...oh no, Comrade Meng Lina, who is now the Shengshi Group. I want to know about her and what is behind her. Identity, do you know this?"
After hearing what Director Chen said, Zhuang Rongxu looked at him in surprise: "How could Director Chen think that he would ask me about this?" he asked curiously.
At the same time, it also made him smile bitterly. He never expected that this matter would spread so quickly. Even Director Chen here knew that he was familiar with Que Qi from Shengshi Group. It’s true that good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
"Oh, Comrade Xiaozhuang, don't worry too much. I occasionally heard Comrade Dongdong say this."
"You should also know that Shengshi Group is also planning to invest in Pengcheng, and the amount of investment is not small. Originally this was a good thing for Pengcheng, but the other party applied to us to establish a telephone company and wanted to build a local telephone company. Telephone network cables, and we also applied to bring oil stations here.”
"For these two industries, Comrade Xiaozhuang, you should also know that they are inland core industry chains and are generally jointly operated by departments. Although the situation has changed now, we still need to be very cautious when introducing core industries. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”
After hearing Director Chen's explanation, Zhuang Rongxu understood completely. No wonder the company has been slow to approve the application for the two industries of Shengshi. It turns out that they are worried that the forces behind Shengshi Group have ulterior motives.
Now Zhuang Rongxu thinks about it himself and thinks that there is something wrong, but he has neglected this point.
In a place like the Outback, things are always done with caution and rules. If these two industries want to enter the mainland, the company background must be clean.
Especially like the telephone company, this is an industry that controls the real lifeblood of a place.
Maybe it's okay now, but if we enter the Internet era, how important will the network be? It can be said that mastering the network is equivalent to mastering all the initiative.
At this time, Zhuang Rongxu was still silent. He was thinking, should he reveal his identity to Director Chen?
If he didn't reveal his identity, he knew that it would be impossible for Shengshi Group to establish a telephone company and bring oil here.
Who would let a company whose background you don’t know come over to take control of the core industry?
But if he did, he was worried that Director Chen would spill the beans and everyone in Xiangjiang would know that he was the boss behind Shengshi, which would not be fun.
At least he will have some conflicts with Mr. Bao, Li Chaoren, and HSBC Shen Bi, and they might even end up fighting each other.
After all, he used tricks to steal other people's jobs. Anyone would be dissatisfied with this kind of thing, let alone old foxes like them.
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Zhuang Rongxu in a daze, Director Chen called him softly.
"Oh, nothing."
Then Zhuang Rongxu gritted his teeth and looked at Director Chen and said, "Director Chen, please take a step to speak."
Director Chen seemed to realize something, nodded slightly, and followed Zhuang Rongxu to the side.
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, do you really know who the boss of Shengshi Group is? Please tell me." Director Chen requested.
Director Chen was really embarrassed about Shengshi Group's involvement in the telephone company and the introduction of oil.
He was afraid that if he rejected Shengshi Group's offer, they would no longer invest in Pengcheng. If he agreed, it would violate his principles. The most important thing was that he didn't know the details of Shengshi Group and was worried that something would go wrong.
But they cannot offend Shengshi Group openly. You must know that the mainland has just begun to attract foreign investment, and they attach great importance to any investment, let alone investors like Shengshi Group who can easily make over 100 million.
That's why Director Chen is so worried about this matter.
Only then did he want to find out the situation behind Shengshi Group through Zhuang Rongxu. If he knew that there were no problems behind Shengshi Group, then it would not be impossible to approve these two industries to enter Pengcheng for development.
"Director Chen, if I tell you, can you promise not to tell anyone?"
"Of course, apart from reporting it to the police, I can't speak out about any comrade in Xiangjiang. I'm worried about the negative impact." Zhuang Rongxu said seriously.
Seeing Zhuang Rongxu being so serious, Director Chen also became serious. After thinking for a while, he nodded.
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, I can assure you that except for reporting work, no one else will tell the truth, including your father and others."
"That's good. In fact, I am the chairman behind Shengshi Group, and Meng Lina is my woman."
"What?"
Director Chen was shocked when he heard this, even a person of his level was shocked.
This shows how much this shocked him.
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, are you serious?" At this time, Director Chen asked Zhuang Rongxu very seriously.
"Director Chen, how could I joke about something like this? Seriously." Zhuang Rongxu responded.
The reason why he told Director Chen that he was the boss behind Shengshi Group. First, he trusts Director Chen, and second, he also wants Shengshi Group to develop networks and oil in the interior.
Therefore, he thought twice and thought that it would be okay to tell this matter, and he would even get more support from Director Chen.
As for Director Chen, he fell silent at this moment, and it took him a while to digest it.
"It's true that a tiger has no dog, Comrade Xiaozhuang, you hide it well enough, but why do you...?"
Zhuang Rongxu understood the meaning of Director Chen's words: "Director Chen, business matters in Xiangjiang are very complicated. I can only say that this is forced by the situation."
Director Chen seemed to understand. He nodded slightly: "Since you are the boss behind it, I feel relieved to apply for these two industries."
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, thank you for your strong support to Inland and Pengcheng. On behalf of Longguo, I would like to express my most sincere respect to you." Director Chen shook hands with Zhuang Rongxu while speaking.
"Director Chen, let's not say these polite words. Come over, the ceremony will begin soon."
"Okay, but Comrade Xiaozhuang, you can't leave tonight. I have to have a good chat with you. I have to hold on to you, the rich man."
"Hahaha, Director Chen invited me, I will definitely come."
"That's good, let's go."
After Zhuang Rongxu and Director Chen returned to the scene, the ceremony just started. In addition to the employees of Dingsheng Company, there were also staff from the department who were waving their hands to congratulate the beginning of the ceremony.
And outside the construction site.
Zhuang Rongxu saw the dense crowd and knew that these people were just nearby villagers.
In addition, on the other side of the scene, Zhuang Rongxu also saw many strangers. If he guessed correctly, these should be local businessmen in the interior.
