Chapter 57: Tit for tat

Zhao Jianhui smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I will take all your money? You know, if you ask me to be the guardian, you have actually given me this opportunity."

Luo Rongguang nodded and said: "Yes, as long as I sign my name on this document, this company will actually be yours. I am about to die, and I can't care about the things behind me. Even if you take the company Taking it as your own, what you are betraying is the brother-sister relationship between you and Zhao Xiaoting, what does it have to do with me, a dead person? Besides, I still understand the principle of not trusting people when you employ them. "

Zhao Jianhui said with a smile: "You don't need to provoke me with words, and you don't need to put a high hat on me. I have my own principles for doing things. However, there is one thing I still don't understand. Zhao Xiaoting actually has nothing to do with you. Blood relationship, why didn't you leave the money to the children you raised, but you left the money to her? "

"There are two reasons." Luo Rongguang nodded and said: "First, because these children around me are incompetent. Even if the company is handed over to them, they will soon be defeated. Secondly, their mothers gave birth to these children because they betrayed me, but Xiaoting was not. From the beginning to the end, Shuhua never felt sorry for me, only I felt sorry for her. So, I. I want to leave all the money to Xiaoting, I am very optimistic about this child. "

Zhao Jianhui nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, I promise you."

Luo Rongguang said a little sadly: "Well, there is one more thing please promise me. Never tell Xiaoting what we talked about today. I don't want her to still hate me after she dies."

"Well, I can agree to this too..."

"Haha, Zhao, what a coincidence. Are you here to eat too? Oh, Chairman Zhao, I didn't expect you and Zhao to know each other? Secretary Liu, go push those people away and say I have something to do tonight. If I meet Zhao, I have to treat him, haha, please give me this face." Zhao Jianhui was thinking when he heard a burst of laughter and Jiang Shangjun led two people away from the side of the small stone bridge. come over. As he walked, he greeted people like Zhao, and he didn't forget to ask his secretary to push away other guests who he said were false.

Zhao Jianhui smiled and glanced at him with a playful look: "Chairman Jiang, isn't this appropriate? We are all acquaintances, so you can just settle the bill at the end. It's a bit inappropriate to delay you from entertaining other guests, right? ”

Since the two got acquainted, Jiang Shangjun was sincerely grateful to Zhao Jianhui for building momentum to help him rise to power. In addition, he had seen Zhao Jianhui's thunderbolt methods to bring down Duan Hefei, and he even wanted to make friends with him from the bottom of his heart. Whenever he was free, he would have a drink with Zhao Jianhui. After a cup, the two of them were already very familiar with each other. One look in his eyes showed that his thoughts had been seen through, and he had nothing to do with it. It was so embarrassing, so he just smiled and said: "You are the official of Nangang City, and our group is on your territory. If you can't please me, how can you pay it back? Besides, Chairman Zhao is the God of Wealth, and our group is eagerly waiting for the reclamation and port construction. I don’t dare to offend her because I want her to invest. So, other people can just push it, and ask *** Zhao and Chairman Zhao to show their face today.”

At first, he didn't think too deeply about it, but now that he was calling *** Zhao and Chairman Zhao, his heart couldn't help but move. He thought that these two people were both named Zhao. They couldn't be from the same family, right?

Just as he was talking, Yang Shanshan walked over wearing a long black dress, high-heeled sandals, and ten toes dyed with red cardamom. She looked as pretty as she could be. Laoyuan smiled and said: "*** Zhao, the room is ready, do you want to go over now?"

Even though the temperature is rising now, it is still only 17 or 18 degrees. Yang Shanshan has already put on summer clothes. She really wants to be elegant and not afraid of the temperature.

"Well, okay, let's go in." Zhao Jianhui said to Zhao Xiaoting: "Xiaoting, let me introduce to you. This is Yang Shanshan, the general manager of Tianquyuan. Her place is quite unique. Yes, from now on, when you come back, come directly to her place to eat, wipe your mouth after eating, and leave, and I will pay for it for you. "

"Well, then I will have to come here more often in the future." Zhao Xiaoting agreed meekly, and a strong sense of family affection filled the hearts of the two of them at the same time.

Jiang Shangjun, who was walking behind, couldn't help but stare at Zhao Jianhui's back and said to himself, it seems that he was right. Aren't they just like brother and sister? It seems that his matter should still fall on Mr. Zhao.

Zhao Jianhui introduced Yang Dandan and Xianghua'er to Zhao Xiaoting. The three women now knew each other. Knowing that Zhao Xiaoting in front of him was the chairman of the board of directors of Rongguang International, or his sister-in-law, Yang Dandan felt very excited. Needless to say, her younger sister was such a brave person, how could she be worse as an older brother? By following Zhao Jianhui, I found a treasure. Perhaps, from this moment on, the mysterious halo covering this man will slowly reveal the tip of the iceberg.

In fact, she is not the only one who is interested, but there is also Jiang Shangjun, who has ulterior motives.

When it was almost time to eat and drink, Jiang Shangjun turned the conversation to the development of Nangang Group. Zhao Jianhui smiled and said to himself, "You are a slippery man. I am not your superior. You don't have to report to me how your group is developing, right?"

"*** Zhao, to be honest with you, I have just taken office. Although the group's affairs are complicated, I still want to achieve some real results. According to the "" National coastal port layout plan 》, by 2010, my country will have formed five large-scale, intensive and modern port groups. Among them, the port group in the southwest coastal area consists of ports in western Guangdong, Lingxi coastal areas and Tiannan Province, with Zhanjiang, Nangang and Haikou. Hong Kong is the main priority.”

"After the southwest port group enters the national planning, it means that this area will have greater development. Not only ourselves, but also Hong Kong and Whampoa have also seen the potential in this area. The regional development trend of the southwest is already obvious. Pan. After the Asian Railway is completed, it will extend from Vietnam to Yunnan, and then penetrate into the entire western region. In addition to the American line, the import and export of goods in the southwest can go through the Pearl River Delta. In addition to Southeast Asia and Europe, Lingxi Coast and Zhanjiang have become the closest routes. These seaports in the southwestern part of our country are becoming important nodes for international logistics. This is really a golden development opportunity. Ah, if our Nangang Group stops moving forward, it will be a big mistake that we will not be able to explain to future generations, and we, the people, will be committing a crime."

"Actually, in order to get rid of opponents as soon as possible and firmly consolidate the status of the 'leading' port in the southwest, our Nangang Group and Zhanjiang Port have already started a port equipment competition in recent years. First, Zhanjiang Port relied on its natural port advantage, and successively We have built a 300,000-ton crude oil terminal, a 200,000-ton ore terminal, and Asia’s deepest 250,000-ton artificial channel. Currently, ships with a capacity of 250,000 to 280,000 tons can enter and exit Zhanjiang Port.”

"We in Nangang also did a lot of fruitful work when Duan Hefei was in office. If this person wasn't too selfish and would make a fortune no matter what project he was working on, he would be considered a very visionary person. A strategist. In recent years, we have also launched the strategy of "returning the island to the port, developing a large port, and large industry" through reclamation and dredging, and have given up all 36 square kilometers of the port area to port development. industry."

"However, the rapid expansion of port facility construction has brought huge funding needs. Currently, the National Development and Reform Commission has approved Zhanjiang's Baoman container project, but they still have many difficulties in construction funds. Our Nangang also urgently needs a large amount of money. The common demand for construction funds has intensified the efforts of Zhanjiang Port and Nangang to introduce strategic investors. The desire and competition for Nangang is that it is closer to the sea than Zhanjiang and has certain land transportation advantages. However, Rongguang International has abundant funds and Hutchison Whampoa Group has advanced management experience and route resources around the world. The last company that can cooperate with us will definitely have a huge impact on its competitors once funds are injected.”

Having said this, Jiang Shangjun picked up the wine glass in his hand, looked at Zhao Xiaoting and said with a smile: "Chairman Zhao, psychologically speaking, I still hope to cooperate sincerely with you Rongguang International. After all, we are all domestic companies, even if Even if we don’t kiss each other, we will kiss each other, don’t you think so, Chairman Zhao?”

This guy's words are provocative. Although what he just said is a bit exaggerated, it can't help but be said to be very emotional.

Zhao Xiaoting raised her wine glass and gestured to him: "Chairman Jiang, if we at Rongguang International were not sincere, do you think I would be sitting here? The magnificent blueprint you just painted really moved my heart. However, our Rongguang International After all, International is a private venture investment, and we are willing to bear the risks, but at the very least, I should be able to see the substantial benefits brought by the risks. In fact, Hutchison Whampoa's investment in mainland ports has not been smooth sailing in recent years. First, the competition for Shanghai. Shanggang was defeated, and later In the investment in the fourth phase of Ningbo Beilun Terminal, Taiwan's Evergreen Group took the lead. Then, in the investment in Nansha Port in Nanyue, it was defeated by the Singapore Port Group, which agreed to hold 49% of the investment. This is not to say that Hutchison Hutchison Whampoa's funds are not strong, but it is because Hutchison Whampoa is also sticking to its bottom line. After all, a company is not a charity, and no one will do things without profit. Hutchison Whampoa gives up on some projects because it cannot achieve its goals. the expected profit.”

"It is precisely because of this situation that the importance of Hutchison Whampoa's presence in the southwest of the mainland has been intensified. If Hutchison continues to be unable to form a strong presence in the mainland port market, its competitiveness in the mainland ports may be weakened in the future. Therefore, Hutchison Whampoa was very sincere in the negotiations with our Nangang company," Jiang Shangjun said with a smile.

"Haha, that's not how I see it." Zhao Xiaoting slowly took a sip of wine, put down the glass, smiled, and then continued: "In the eyes of industry insiders, Hutchison Whampoa's desire to abandon Zhanjiang and reform Investing in Nangang may actually be just a negotiation tactic, just to increase his own worth. Could it be that Chairman Jiang still takes it seriously?"

Seeing this little sister who was originally dull and silent, speaking in front of Jiang Shangjun, Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but stop his chopsticks and watch the two of them bickering with a smile.

Jiang Shangjun shook his head and said, "Why did Chairman Zhao say this? This is a bit hard to agree with, right?"
