Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 337 Someone Poached Tang Huan's Corner
In fact, Deng Lijun has been very busy recently. "A Light of Love" is the first record she personally participated in planning, and it naturally contains many artistic ideas for a long time. It is conceivable how much energy is involved in this alone.

What's more, Deng Lijun still needs to find collaborators in humanities such as music, calligraphy and painting, and Tang Huan poses a problem for her, that is, in addition to recording traditional analog LPs, she also needs to produce digital records representing the latest technology. The CD version of the method, its production process has become more and more complicated.

If He Lili hadn't lobbied under the pretext of "the opportunity to promote funding activities for girls' education", Deng Lijun might not have found time to attend this event.

Due to her own experience, Deng Lijun is extremely concerned about this public welfare undertaking. She was just a singer before, unable to change anything, but Tang Huan built a platform for her, so she has a place to use.

In addition to funding sources, such funding requires a broad consensus on its importance.

The specifications of this charity auction can be seen from the attendance of Hong Kong local business leaders like Niu Bijian.

Deng Lijun felt that it was very valuable to find an opportunity to make an appeal on this occasion.

However, Guo Kongcheng's excessive enthusiasm made her a little uncomfortable, but he was an important participant in this event, so he had to show the necessary respect.

While struggling to deal with it, Deng Lijun discovered Zhou Mi, so she grabbed the young man and pulled him to his side to make a buffer light bulb.

"What has Mr. Zhou been up to lately?" After exchanging pleasantries, Deng Lijun asked casually.

"It's mainly about business matters." Zhou Mi answered, while looking at Guo Kongcheng, he could tell from a long distance that this person was not generally courteous to Deng Lijun.

He Lili was one of the "Shaw's Twelve Gold Hairpins" in the past, married into a wealthy family, and achieved success. Naturally, she is not a simple person. She is very good at winking. Seeing that Zhou Mi is a bit stealing Guo Kongcheng's limelight, she interrupted with a smile , took the initiative to introduce each other.

"Mrs. Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet you." Zhou Mi nodded with a smile, and his eyes fell on Guo Kongcheng, "I'm sorry, Mr. Guo is the director here. Forgive my stupidity. It shouldn't be long since you came to Xiangjiang from Malaysia."

When Zhou Mi said this, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart that the relationship between Deng Lijun and Tang Huan in 1979 had been hyped up in Xiangjiang for a long time, which caused a sensation in Baodao.

On the bright side, this relationship has indeed faded, but the suitor should also weigh whether he has the weight to win love with a sword. Do you think you are better than Datang?

"Although it hasn't been a long time, I've been acquainted with Mr. Zhou's name recently. The competition between Handing and Landmark for Heung Kong Telephone is extremely exciting." , even teasing.

Zhou Mi was immediately squeezed by the opponent, his old face turned red. This time Han Ding failed to win the battle, he already felt ashamed enough, and Niu Bijian wanted to put gold on his face, increase his prestige, and re-establish Jardine's old brand of heroism. The image of Zi Yangxing has been ridiculed in various ways in the media, and there is no such thing as a famous name.

"I'm joking. Seriously speaking, I'm very ashamed. How can a defeated general be associated with a wonderful thing." Zhou Mi laughed at himself and laughed.

"Old Zhou, you really lost face this time. Everyone in Xiangjiang has seen your joke." Mr. Huo, who walked over slowly, patted Zhou Mi's shoulder happily, and slapped Zhou Mi's shoulder without any scruples. Another sprinkle of salt.

Zhou Mi gave a wry smile helplessly, only to hear Mr. Huo who had greeted Guo Kongcheng continue to say: "You still don't know the background of this Mr. Guo, his family is in Malaysia, but he is a well-known Asian sugar king, occupying the local sugar industry. 80% of the market."

"So that's it, I'm really ignorant." Zhou Mi nodded slightly, and resumed his usual wooden expression, but he was sneering in his heart.

So what about the son of the Sugar King, you run on me, it's just a moment of pleasure, and when Datang comes to Xiangjiang, there will be excitement to watch.

At the beginning, he almost married Deng Lijun, and even got angry with the official of Baodao once, so the special relationship between the two can be imagined.

If you still stalk Deng Lijun like this, Datang's jealousy will definitely be overturned.

Thinking of Zhou Mi here, an imperceptible strangeness flashed in his eyes.

"Old Zhou, come here, I'll ask you something." Mr. Huo pulled Zhou Mi away a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "Is Tang Huan still in the mainland?"

"Yes." Zhou Mi nodded, "After finishing the matter at hand, he will come to Xiangjiang next stop."

"I heard that the chiefs inspected his company in Yanjing?" Mr. Huo continued to ask.

"You are really well-informed." Zhou Mi shook his head with a smile, "I may not know more than you about what you want to know."

"Don't be modest, your sources of information must be more direct and accurate." Mr. Huo is not so easy to fool, and whispered to Zhou Mi for a long time.

Soon, the charity auction started. Zhou Mi sat back next to Deng Lijun, and joked with a smile, "If Ms. Deng is interested in any auction items, even if you say clearly, I have a duty to borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

The deep meaning of Zhou Mi's words is that, in the final analysis, it is Tang Huan who pays for things, and he is [-]% giving favors.

But Guo Kongcheng didn't know the complicated relationship here. He directly understood that Zhou Mi was being attentive to him just like him, and he immediately frowned in displeasure.

It is impossible for this kind of charity auction to display any rare treasures. They are all small objects with certain characteristics.

Zhou Mi saw "The Years of Cardamom" by Shan Boqin, a painter of the Lingnan School. He remembered that Tang Huan mentioned that Deng Lijun liked this kind of art very much, and if there was a suitable one, he would collect it.

Glancing at Deng Lijun, seeing that the other party was really serious, Zhou Mi raised his placard and bid 25 yuan. After the auctioneer shouted three times, just as he was about to drop the hammer, Guo Kongcheng suddenly said, "30 yuan."

After Zhou Mi was a little surprised, he casually added 5, and Guo Kongcheng quickly returned 50.

"Is the other party competing with me?" Zhou Mi laughed dumbly, and didn't continue to answer.

I am only Tang Huan's spokesperson, and the first thing I consider in doing things is cost performance, so there is no need to fight with my son and buddy.

As the auction progressed, the host solemnly announced, "In this event, I received a brooch donated by Ms. Deng Lijun. This is after Ms. Deng held a concert at Lincoln Center in New York. The mayor of New York rewarded her for her contribution to cultural exchanges. The contribution made and the souvenir presented are of great significance. Ms. Deng reluctantly took out this item. In addition to hoping that the donation will be dedicated to girls' education, she also calls on everyone to recognize the importance of girls' education. "

Amidst the warm applause, Deng Lijun got up and smiled, and the auctioneer immediately shouted, "The starting price is 30."

"50." Mr. Huo quoted the price with a smile.

"Mr. Huo's 50." After the auctioneer shouted this sentence, his voice suddenly turned higher, "100 million, Mr. Guo's 100 million."

After seeing Zhou Mi raising the placard, the auctioneer continued to raise his voice excitedly, "200 million, Mr. Zhou's 200 million."

Nu Bijian turned his head and glanced at Zhou Mi, then raised his sign.

"210 million, Mr. Niu Bijian's 210 million." The auctioneer praised, "Ms. Deng's appeal is really great. So many big figures have generously donated to girls' education."

Seeing that Niu Bijian also came to show off, Zhou Mi unceremoniously paid back 300 million.

You're an old man, no matter how famous you are, you're just a wage earner from Jardine. I don't believe you have so much spare money to take over.

Sure enough, Niu Bijian spread his hands and flinched back.

"300 million, Mr. Zhou's 300 million." The auctioneer didn't expect the scene to be so hot, and he was so excited that his forehead started to sweat.

But the scene that made his adrenaline secretion surge was still behind, and Guo Kongcheng actually reported 500 million.

For a while, no one took the call, and everything stopped there.

Gein, everyone can see that the young owner of the Shangri Hotel has an unusually strong pursuit of Deng Lijun.

Usually in such a situation, the person concerned is irrational at all, and his code of conduct cannot be speculated with common sense. It is simply asking for trouble to fight against such a lunatic.

What's more, this brooch has been auctioned for such a high price, which has far exceeded its own value. It is definitely a success, and there is no point in continuing.

If it really turned into a jealous money game, it would lose the status of a celebrity in the upper class, and Deng Lijun would lose face.

In this way, the souvenir that Deng Lijun took out to appeal to everyone to pay attention to girls' education was sold for a sky-high price of 500 million, becoming a highlight of this charity auction. The media present also focused on this topic, secretly making comments based on different opinions. Starting point, I have thought about the relevant articles that will be published in the newspaper tomorrow.

For such a result, Deng Lijun was naturally very surprised.

She was both happy and tangled in her heart. She was happy that the social issue of girls' education would definitely attract more people's attention. What was tangled was that Guo Kongcheng's pursuit of doing so was already known to everyone in Sima Zhaozhi's mind. Caused a lot of trouble.

But no matter what, objectively speaking, Guo Kongcheng definitely made a great contribution.

Therefore, after the auction ended, Deng Lijun sincerely expressed her gratitude to this standard rich second generation.

"It's not a big deal. It's totally my duty to do my part for such a meaningful public welfare activity." Guo Kongcheng smiled lightly, looking calm and breezy.

"Miss Deng, I've always wanted to treat you to a special meal, and please do honor me." After being modest, Guo Kongcheng took the opportunity to send out the invitation, "The Japanese restaurant in our Shangri-Hotel is very special, and we strongly recommend it to you." You recommend."

Hearing this, Deng Lijun's face turned pale. She was busy making the album "A Light of Love", especially the song "On the West Building Alone", the effect was still not satisfactory to her, and she really didn't want to be distracted by these complicated social affairs Activity.

Seeing this scene, Guo Kongcheng smiled empathetically, "Ms. Deng will decide the meal time, or you can wait until you finish your work."

"Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your understanding." Deng Lijun finally nodded and agreed because of her affection.

Standing not far away, intending to take care of Deng Lijun's carefulness, he witnessed the whole process.

He couldn't help frowning, and muttered to himself, "This guy is very good at digging up the corners of Datang's wall with a pickaxe. This is called methodical."

As an opponent, Zhou Mi gave Guo Kongcheng a high evaluation.

And later in the office of Shangri Hotel, Guo Kongcheng was also complimented by his confidants sent by his father to assist him.

……

"Young master, although you haven't been in Xiangjiang for a long time, you have adapted to the market environment here very quickly. The implementation of each plan has made our hotel quickly gain popularity after opening in Xiangjiang, which is full of strong players. Steady your feet."

"It's nothing, it's just that one way can do everything." Guo Kongcheng waved his hands confidently.

"The success of today's charity auction is needless to say. The key is the impromptu performance of the young master, which can be called a stroke of genius. The 500 million that was decisively quoted instantly overwhelmed the crowd, especially the one who was stepped on as a stepping stone. It was Niu Bijian and Zhou Mi who had been fighting so hard some time ago that the whole Xiangjiang was paying attention."

"I believe that tomorrow's newspaper, in addition to praising our Guo's enterprise for its enthusiasm for public welfare, will inevitably mention how you let Niu Bijian and Zhou Mi bow down."

"What's even more remarkable about the young master is that he has taken care of both public and private affairs. Among them, he has won Miss Deng's heart. I guess this is what the young master values."

Guo Kongcheng, who was scratched to the itch, smiled smugly, and then frowned again, "This Zhou Mi seems to be very familiar with Deng Lijun, what is his background?"

"It belongs to the role of a housekeeper. Tang Huan, who is said to be the richest man in the United States, can intervene in Xiangjiang's business."

"The richest man in the United States wants Xiangjiang Phone, but he can't compete with Jardine?" Guo Kongcheng asked in surprise.

"A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. Besides, the United States is so far away, who knows the specific situation, and the newspapers in Xiangjiang are sometimes very unreliable."

"However, tomorrow's Xiangjiang newspapers will definitely write up a lot about your glorious image, Master."

……

This is indeed the case. The Xiangjiang media rushed to report on Guo Kongcheng's extravagant spending. In addition to praising his eagerness for justice and charity, they also talked about his heroic spirit of chasing women.

After seeing such reports, Zhou Mi frowned deeply. It was just an ordinary acquisition failure. Why did he seem to be a pauper all of a sudden? Anyone would dare to step on it.

At this time, Hu Yinmeng called and said angrily: "Mr. Zhou, here in Xiangjiang, people always respect Luo Yi first and then others. Let Tang Huan come back and shake things up. Otherwise, you will read all the newspapers." Tian Wuxian magnified the failure of the acquisition, and I felt angry."
