The business card design is simple, with only Zhou Qi's name and a phone number on it, without any extra company information or position description.

"Thank you." Li Jiaxin responded politely. "Sorry, I was in a hurry to go out today and didn't bring my business card."

"It's okay, we can exchange again next time we have a chance." Zhou Qi said easily, and then turned to Li Zihong. "Mr. Li, I know this may seem abrupt, but I hope to have a brief conversation with you."

Li Zihong looked at Zhou Qi carefully and smiled slightly. Although he was impressed by the young man's performance at the auction just now, he did not intend to spend his precious time on insignificant people.

At this time, Li Jianan interrupted and said, "You didn't dare to continue bidding in the end, which proves that you have no ability at all. In this case, don't waste our time here."

"Father, He Zhicheng finally won the bid. If we really want to discuss something, we should find them," Li Jianan added.

Li Zihong frowned slightly, glanced at Li Jianan, and then said to Zhou Qi: "Young man, you didn't plan to take over this land from the beginning, right?"

Zhou Qi smiled and said frankly: "Mr. Li has extraordinary insight. I am indeed trying different strategies."

"You mean you gave it to someone else on purpose? You're such a conceited boy." Li Jianan said dissatisfiedly.

"Shut up!" Li Zihong interrupted Li Jianan rudely and said sternly: "The He Zhicheng you recommended ended up spending more than a billion because of this guy's words. If you had half of his wisdom, I would be satisfied."

Li Jianan's face turned red and he stopped talking. He just stared at Zhou Qi with a resentful look.

Zhou Qi didn't expect Li Zihong to criticize his son in public. But considering Li Jianan's previous attitude, he also felt that it was his own fault.

Afterwards, Li Zihong seemed to have lost interest in continuing the conversation and prepared to leave. On the other side, He Zhicheng secretly rejoiced at this and even couldn't help but laugh at Zhou Qi:

"Look, this is the result of not knowing one's own limitations. Wanting to start a conversation when you don't have the ability, how ridiculous!"

When everyone around heard this, they started talking and the atmosphere became very awkward.

Zhou Qi ignored He Zhicheng, his eyes were fixed on Li Zihong, and he said:

"Mr. Li, we are all businessmen, and we all know that opportunities are rare. You are a good opportunity for me, and I am for you too. Let's talk. You may think it's a waste of time, but I assure you that it's time well spent."

After hearing this, Li Zihong felt that the other party was just boasting. He was already familiar with such rhetoric and was about to leave.

At this time, Li Jiaxin grabbed her father's arm and said, "Dad, listen to what he says."

She herself didn't know what Zhou Qi was up to, but she had a feeling that Zhou Qi wouldn't do this for no reason. Moreover, she became a little curious about him.

Li Zihong stopped and looked at his daughter in surprise. She usually didn't speak up for others like this.

Li Jiaxin seemed to sense her father's doubts and whispered something in his ear. This made Li Zihong turn his attention to Zhou Qi again.

But before Zhou Qi could speak, Li Jianan couldn't help but said, "I've seen a lot of people like you. You're not qualified. Don't waste everyone's time here.

"He was already angry because his father had scolded him for what happened to Zhou Qi. In addition, Zhou Qi and He Zhicheng didn't get along, so he wanted to embarrass him even more.

Li Jiaxin frowned slightly and retorted: "Dad hasn't spoken yet, why are you butting in!" She believed that even if one wanted to refuse someone, one should be polite. Her brother's behavior really damaged the family's image.

Li Jianan was furious at what his sister said, but he didn't dare to offend the most beloved little princess in the family. He had to transfer his anger to Zhou Qi, but he didn't dare to say anything more at this moment.

Li Zihong looked at Zhou Qi and said slowly: "Young man, your words sound a bit conceited, but since Jiaxin is pleading for you, I will give you a chance. We are just about to leave here, so you can continue talking on the way."

As he spoke, Li Zihong walked towards the exit. Zhou Qi followed closely behind him and started talking:

"Mr. Li, your business empire covers many industries, especially in real estate, finance and other fields, with huge influence. But this is not what I admire most about you.

What really makes me admire you is that under the current circumstances, you choose to invest in the mainland, especially focusing on infrastructure construction and improving people's livelihood.

Your first consideration is not profit, but how to improve people's quality of life, which is very rare."

These words come from the heart, not just simple flattery.

Whether before or after Hong Kong's return to China, there are always people who hold prejudices against the mainland. However, Li Zihong dared to take the lead in entering the mainland market, which was not just a simple business.

When Li Zihong heard the compliment, he smiled and asked, "Thank you for the compliment, but how does it relate to what you want to tell me?"

"Mr. Li, you are a pioneer who thinks about the economic development of the mainland. As a member of the mainland business community, I would like to express my respect and give you a small gift for the opportunity to communicate with you face to face."

As Zhou Qi spoke, he took out a piece of paper he had prepared long ago from his pocket.

Li Zihong took the note, raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head and said, "Young man, being mysterious requires time, and it seems that you don't have much time."

"Mr. Li, if you don't take action within two days, I'm afraid there won't be another opportunity like this in the next three years.

I understand that it is difficult to convince you with just words, but I am willing to guarantee that if the Li family follows my advice and suffers losses, I will bear the full responsibility. "Zhou Qi said firmly.

These words made Li Zihong stop in his tracks. Everyone around him turned their eyes to Zhou Qi. Although they didn't know the specific contents of the paper, they could tell from Li Zihong's expression that this matter was very serious.

Especially the promise of "full responsibility" makes people curious about the confidence behind it.

"Young man, you may not have reached that level yet," Li Zihong responded.

Zhou Qi answered without hesitation: "Hualong Electric Appliances is now a well-known brand in the country, with 180 wholly-owned stores across the country; not long ago, Hualong Real Estate purchased a piece of land in Shanghai for a high price of billion.

If Mr. Li thinks this is not enough, then we can also provide all assets including Hualong Tengao as collateral.”

Li Zihong is well aware of the potential of the mainland market. He has just learned from his daughter that Zhou Qi is the actual controller of Hualong Group. It is undeniable that Hualong's growth rate is impressive and its business model has shown signs of considerable maturity.

"Young man, are you going to make a bet with me?" Li Zihong asked.
