Chapter 82 Zhou Rongchang's Advice
When talking to the people around, Xia Yu did not forget to pay attention to the other people present.
Especially when someone who can clearly be seen as a big man arrives, Xia Yu will always inquire about it without a trace.
As time passed, more and more people were present, and Xia Yu also recognized some people, such as Li Chaoren, the ship king Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji and other famous and powerful bosses in later generations.
At first, Xia Yu didn't realize why they also appeared at the reception of HSBC Securities, but after a little thought, he figured it out.
Li Zhaoji himself has been engaged in the securities industry, and in the future he will have the title of the god of Asian stocks. Since he is engaged in this industry, his relationship with HSBC Securities, a giant in the stock market, is of course not bad.
And the relationship between Bao Yugang and HSBC is not to be questioned. At present, Bao Yugang and the chairman of HSBC, Shen Bi, who was given the title of the King of the Great Class, have a close relationship. To more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy Wharf.
As for the arrival of Li Chaoren, his Cheung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd. was listed, and HSBC Securities was the main underwriter. Now he still holds a part of the shares of Cheung Kong Industrial. HSBC Securities held a cocktail party. How could he not come?
In addition to these bigwigs that Xia Yu recognized, he also found that some people's status was not lower than Li Chaoren and the others, but it was a pity that Xia Yu didn't know them.
Soon, the reception began. Xia Yu saw an Englishman come to the center of the stage to give a speech. After the speech, he announced the start of the reception.
Xia Yu saw that Liu Tianci was by the side of the Englishman, walking around in the crowd constantly, sometimes stopping to talk a few words, and before he knew it, he came to Xia Yu.
"Xia Sheng, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Nate, our general manager of HSBC Securities, and also a director of HSBC Bank."
"General manager, this is the Xia Sheng I told you, the helm of the "Jiuding Daily", and also our major customer."
Liu Tianci, as the intermediary, introduced each other to the two.
"Xia Sheng, I'm Cole Nutter. I finally have the opportunity to meet you. Thank you for your strong support for us. Welcome!" Li Qi said with a warm smile and extended his hand at the same time.
Xia Yu hurriedly shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Nate, it's my honor to be invited to your company's reception!"
"..."
Then, Xia Yu and Li Qi chatted a few more words, and then in order to take care of others, Cole Nutt and Xia Yu said sorry and left, and continued to the next person.
Xia Yu was not idle either. He also seized the opportunity to get to know and communicate with other people nearby, to expand his network, and for a while, there was a lot of laughter.
After socializing for a while, Xia Yu felt a little hungry, so he left the crowd and went to the food area, picked some food to eat, and sat in the corner after eating to take a break.
At this moment, Xia Yu noticed that a spirited old man came over.
"Is there a chance to have a drink?" The old man raised his glass, nodded towards Xia Yu and said with a smile.
"My pleasure!" Xia Yu smiled slightly, raised his glass and touched the old man lightly.
Just while drinking, Xia Yu secretly looked at the old man, wondering who he was.
Because just now, when Xia Yu was observing, he found that there were a lot of people looking for this old man to toast, and most of them were very respectful, which showed that his status was very high.
And now that the old man came to him for a drink, Xia Yu also felt that the eyes of the people around him seemed a little strange, and seemed to be curious about what the old man would say to Xia Yu, which made Xia Yu cheer up, avoid saying the wrong thing, and also pay attention What will the old man say to him.
"Xia Sheng, you are young and promising. You have created such an influential newspaper as "Jiuding Daily" in a short period of time. You have a bright future!" The old man laughed loudly.
"No no,
It's all good luck, in fact, I didn't expect it to develop so fast. Xia Yu said quickly and humbly, this old man was so familiar, he was a little surprised, and he obviously knew him well, but he didn't know who the old man was, which made him a little passive.
"Haha, I'm humble, the times create heroes, luck is also a part of strength, and without strength, luck alone is not enough." Seeing Xia Yu being so modest, a glimmer of admiration flashed in the old man's eyes, and he smiled.
"I'm so sorry, but I still don't know who you are, old gentleman?" Xia Yu didn't answer the topic, but instead asked tentatively with an apologetic expression on his face.
It seems that the old man has no intention of introducing himself, so being passive is not the way, Xia Yu can only take the initiative to ask.
The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xia Yu to not know him, yet he said so much.
But he is not an ordinary person, he still looks natural, he doesn't feel embarrassed, instead he shakes his head slightly and smiles: "You see, I'm really old, my memory is bad, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm really sorry, my surname is Zhou, my name is Rongchang , ranked fifth in the family, people usually call me Zhou Laowu or Fifth Uncle."
"Hello fifth uncle!" Xia Yu hurriedly bowed slightly and shouted, but he was still puzzled, because the old man didn't say what he did except for his name.
"Haha, you're young, talented, and polite. I haven't seen a peer more outstanding than you in Xiangjiang." The old man Zhou Rongchang said with an admiring smile.
Xia Yu quickly showed a humble expression until he dared not.
"When I'm old, I always like to mention my younger generation. Don't think I talk too much. You have a bright future. It's a good thing and a bad thing for a young man to be high-spirited. The key is to grasp a degree. I'm optimistic about you, come on!" Zhou Rongchang said encouragingly.
Then, without waiting for Xia Yu to speak, he said again: "I'm old, I don't use it anymore, I'll go sit over there, I won't disturb you, and have fun!"
After speaking, Zhou Rongchang nodded towards Xia Yu and left.
Looking at the back of the old man Zhou Rongchang, Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and his brain turned quickly.
In the last sentence just now, Zhou Rongchang's words were meaningful. Although there was an element of encouragement, from what Xia Yu heard, it was more of a warning or an advice.
He was reminding Xia Yu that high-spiritedness in his words was a euphemism, and it could also be replaced with a more sharp-edged tone.
It's a good thing and a bad thing, Xia Yu focuses on the bad things.
He also mentioned that Xia Yu should grasp a little degree, and when translated into more obvious words, he must know how to advance and retreat.
Thinking of Zhou Rongchang again, he wouldn't come to chat with Xia Yu for no reason. He was telling Xia Yu not to be too sharp, but to stop in moderation and know how to advance and retreat.
Of course, it seemed to show that there was no malice, he said it with words of encouragement, obviously because he was afraid that Xia Yu would think too much or cause unnecessary trouble.
Then, Xia Yu thought again that Zhou Rongchang thought that Xia Yu would know him, so it must be Xia Yu who should know him, but Xia Yu didn't, so it was worth thinking about.
In a short period of time, Xia Yu's mind turned around, and he had a rough guess in his heart, but he was not too sure. He needed to determine who Zhou Rongchang was to be able to confirm his inner guess.
