In the private room of the restaurant at Qianli Equestrian Club in Yanjing, Guo Ruida, the CEO of Guosen Securities, raised his glass respectfully, "Director Lin, although I haven't seen you for many years, you haven't changed much, you are still so young and handsome."

Guo Ruida had never expected that in just seven or eight years, the manager of a second-level company of Ge Gang would become the head of a large central enterprise at the vice-ministerial level. Guo Ruida had never seen such a speed of promotion before.

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and clinked his glass with his. The wine in the high-heeled crystal glass worth three hundred dollars was Romante-Conti red wine worth forty thousand dollars.

Ma Jing, who was sitting next to Lin Zhiyuan, also smiled and raised her glass. She glanced at the expensive bottle of red wine on the table and thought that Mr. Guo of Guosen Securities had invested a lot of money to become the underwriter of the IPO of China Electronics Technology Group.

Today's Ma Jing is no longer the mountain girl who just graduated from school. During these years at Gegang Investment Company, she has come into contact with top leaders in the business, technology and financial circles. She has seen a lot of big scenes, so luxury goods such as red wine and luxury cars are no longer surprising to her.

From the moment she entered the private room, she recognized that the two bottles prepared by Guo Ruida were 1993 Romante-Conti, top-quality red wine produced in the Burgundy region of Gaul. These two bottles of wine would be sold for at least 80,000 or 90,000 yuan in private clubs in China.

After watching Lin Zhiyuan and Guo Ruida take a sip, Ma Jing followed suit. As the red wine took a sip, a slightly sour wine taste immediately filled her mouth.

Although she had drunk a lot of red wine, Ma Jing was still not used to the taste. She could not taste any of the floral, fruity, oak or smooth tannins.

But this did not prevent her from maintaining an elegant demeanor and pretending to know a lot about red wine.

Ma Jing looked at Lin Zhiyuan and Guo Ruida who were chatting animatedly, and wondered if these two CEOs could really taste the aroma of red wine, or were just pretending like me.

At the head of the table, Lin Zhiyuan was answering Guo Ruida's questions.

"Director Lin, let me ask you, when was the first time we met, and when was the last time we met?"

"Mr. Guo, this is not a problem for me. We first met in 1994 because Xincai Company started planning to go public that year. In 1995, Xincai Company went public. On May 22, 1997, Gegang was listed as a whole. This was all thanks to Mr. Guo's great help! It has been four years since we last met."

"Director Lin, I really admire you. Although you have left Ge Gang, you can remember these things so clearly. Not everyone can do it."

The two raised their glasses again.

After a glass of red wine, Lin Zhiyuan gave Ma Jing a look, and Ma Jing immediately stood up, raised his glass to toast Guo Ruida, and also talked about the main business of the night, "Mr. Guo, there are two companies under the China Electronics Technology Group that are planning to go public. Mr. Lin attaches great importance to this matter and hopes that the listing process can be completed as soon as possible..."

Guo Ruida came for this matter, and he immediately patted his chest and guaranteed that as long as Director Lin respected Guosen Securities and him, Guo Ruida, Guosen Securities was willing to become the listing underwriter of the two companies and would give the greatest discount on fees.

This kind of thing that was consensual was a natural agreement, not to mention that Lin Zhiyuan and Guo Ruida were old acquaintances.

"Mr. Guo, the CETC Group is having a hard time right now, so I urgently need these two companies to go public as soon as possible to raise funds. In addition, there are many companies with potential under the CETC Group, and they will be listed one after another in the future..."

Lin Zhiyuan stopped at that point, and Guo Ruida understood what he meant.

Lin Zhiyuan first said that the group was having a hard time, and then said that more companies would be listed in the future. Guo Ruida, who was very sensible, immediately said that he would give the China Electronics Technology Group a bigger discount on top of the original discount.

"Please keep this a secret for me, Director Lin. This price must not be spread out, otherwise the CEOs of the listed companies will come to me."

The discussion went smoothly and both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves very much.

After returning, Lin Zhiyuan immediately started the listing process, allowing North China Computer Technology and Southern Communications to serve as pioneers and set an example for other companies.

It would cost at least 40 million to list the two companies, but this time, no one, including the team members, dared to oppose Lin Zhiyuan's proposal.

Since Yuan Zhilong was transferred out of the group, everyone has realized how strong Lin Zhiyuan is. Now the Electronic Technology Group is basically ruled by Lin Zhiyuan alone.

Lin Zhiyuan believes that with the technological background of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, it can launch at least ten more listed companies.

Once these companies go public and receive financial support, they will develop more rapidly, and the group will no longer have to rely solely on Dongtian Electronics for financial support.

Of course, this process will be long, but as long as you make a good start, life will get better and better.

On December 2001, 12, China officially joined the World Trade Organization and became the 11rd member country.

When the news was broadcast on TV, Lin Zhiyuan immediately sent emails to all subsidiaries of the group, asking them to seize this opportunity, keep up with market trends, and produce more electronic products for export.

On December 26, the Gegang Building, which had been under construction for nearly two years, was officially completed.

Jin Huaying personally rushed to Yanjing to preside over the opening ceremony. Li Zhenshan, Long Jihai and others were invited to attend, and Lin Zhiyuan was naturally among the guests.

The newly completed Gegang Building is 126 meters high and has 36 floors.

The Beijing office of Gegang, Gegang Investment Company, Gegang Iron and Steel Technology Research Institute, International Trade Company, and branches of commercial companies are all located in the building.

At the same time, this building also has functions such as supermarket, office, shopping mall, cinema, etc. Just as Lin Zhiyuan suggested at the beginning, Ge Gang’s Beijing Office has become profitable thanks to this building.

The wedding of Li Changan and Ma Jing was held together with the building's inauguration ceremony.

Not many people attended the wedding. Apart from the relatives of the two families, there were only colleagues from Gegang Investment Company. There were only ten tables in total.

Of course, Li Zhenshan deliberately compressed this for fear of impact.

As the introducer of both parties, Lin Zhiyuan was invited to speak on stage.

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Li Changan, then at Ma Jing. "Seeing this newlywed couple reminded me of a wonderful thing. Westerners call it fate, while Easterners call it destiny. In 1998, I went to Yenching University to recruit people for Gegang Investment Company. Ma Jing was the first college student I recruited. Three years later, Ma Jing became a key business executive of the investment company. This was something I could predict, because in my impression, Ma Jing was smart, willing to learn, and able to endure hardships. But what I could not predict was that she would become my niece's wife..."

There was laughter from the audience. Most of the people laughing were employees of the investment company. They didn't know until then that Li Changan was Li Zhenshan's son.

"Changan has always called me uncle. He is also a very smart and capable young man. He is a genius in securities investment. The combination of him and Ma Jing is a strong combination. I can't imagine how smart the child they have will be..."

Li Changan and Ma Jing smiled at each other, crossed their fingers and held their hands tightly.

Su Jin, who was sitting under the stage watching the fun with Ah Su, finally relaxed his brows when he saw this scene.
