Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 1459 1459 [Little shrimp's counterattack! 】

"Mr. Shi, what happened? Your complexion doesn't look good!"

When Shi Zhijian walked out of the embassy, ​​Tang Long asked Aji to drive over and asked Shi Zhijian.

"It's nothing, let's talk in the car!" Shi Zhijian got into the car, and Tang Long followed, but he still looked puzzled.

For a long time, Shi Zhijian has always been the introverted and stable type in the eyes of outsiders. Although he is only in his twenties, he is not as vigorous as a young man. Of course, he has never been preoccupied, but today is quite special.

The car opened slowly.

Shi Zhijian leaned on the car seat, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting.

Tang Long didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only carefully tell Aji to drive slowly.

Tang Long could tell that Shi Zhijian was in a bad mood at the moment.

suddenly-

"Aaron, if two big sharks fight, how can the little shrimp caught in the middle survive?" Shi Zhijian asked slowly.

"Uh, what?" Tang Long was stunned, "I don't know about that! I'm only good at boxing, and this kind of shark shrimp thing... I don't like raising fish either."

See here. Shi Zhijian smiled and stopped asking.

Aji, who was in charge of driving in front, suddenly said: "Mr. Shi, in fact... you can grow shrimps slowly! I have raised fish before, and shrimps are scary when they grow large. Even the most ferocious eels dare not touch them easily. !"

Shi Zhijian smiled, as if he had untied the knot in his heart at once.

"Well said! Shrimp can also be raised, and it can also become fierce!"

Having said that, Shi Zhijian looked at Aji and said, "Aji, I didn't expect you to know so much while driving in silence!"

Aji smiled: "Mr. Shi, it's not that I know much, I just guessed your mind correctly! You actually knew the answer a long time ago, but you just need someone to express your support, and I just said a few words along the way."

Shi Zhijian really took this Aji with admiration this time, and even Tang Long looked at Aji in surprise.

Aji explained: "It's not my mother-in-law. Every time I go back, she likes to have a gloomy face. Let me guess what's on her mind. If I can't guess, she will make a fuss! Like the last time I went home, she had a stern face. Show me, I know bad things when I look at the calendar, and I forgot her birthday! To be honest, my family used to be so poor that I didn’t even have enough to eat. Who still remembers her birthday? Even if it’s her birthday, she can cook an egg at most! Now The days are getting better, but she's also feeling foreign, and insists on imitating the ghost and having a candlelight dinner!"

"Candlelight dinners are so expensive! Just going to those ghost restaurants will cost a lot of money, and that's not counting. She also asked me to help buy flowers and bags--are the flowers edible? They wither in a day It’s better to buy roast goose legs! In short, she was very noisy that night! Since then, I understand that women’s minds should not be guessed. Qian, if you don’t support her, she will tell you that you don’t understand her, don’t feel sorry for her, it’s really difficult! Of course, Mr. Shi, I’m not talking about you, you’re not a woman…”

These words made Shi Zhijian amused, "Understood, I can understand you! Our Aji is one of the three good men in Bangkok. We take the money home and give it to his wife as soon as we get paid. He treats his wife and children better than himself!"

Aji was a little embarrassed by Shi Zhijian's praise, scratched his head and said: "No, I just did what a man should do!"

Shi Zhijian closed his eyes: "Now go to see General Wan Long——I also want to do what a man should do!"

…

General's residence.

General Wan Long invited Shi Zhijian to sit down: "What a surprise, what wind brought you here, Mr. Shi?"

As he spoke, he asked the maid to serve the tea.

"Of course I have important matters to discuss with Your Excellency the General." Shi Zhijian said with a smile.

"If it's about the mine, then please don't talk about it!" Wan Long directly sealed Shi Zhijian's mouth, "I know this will hit you hard this time, and I think I'm sorry for you by cooperating with the Zheng family in Hong Kong, but the problem is that I'm with you. You are just a partnership, and each other should put their interests first, right? I hope you can understand."

"Of course I can understand His Excellency the General's intentions, but I still have to ask one more question, what is the reason why the General wants to cooperate with the Zheng family?"

"Need to say?" General Wan Long smiled, "I have a mine here, which can produce ore raw materials, and the Zheng family has a huge jewelry business in Hong Kong, just like what you said before, jewelry design, jewelry processing , even jewelry sales are at the first-class level in Asia, and even have a great reputation internationally. Why do I refuse to directly cooperate with their family and let you get a share of it? Interests come first, this is not the most common thing among your businessmen principle?"

"That's right! Then today I will talk to Your Excellency General about the principle of putting interests first, and see if you can change your mind." Shi Zhijian picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Wan Long looked at Shi Zhijian with a smile: "You talk, I'll listen! I want to hear how you can persuade me!"

"It's very simple!" Shi Zhijian put down his teacup, his eyes were burning, "I'm planning to start a jewelry business directly, and I've already bought internationally famous jewelry processing factories and design companies, and I'm going back to Hong Kong to open up jewelry sales channels—"

"Oh, really? I have to say that your plan surprised me!" General Wan Long smiled and raised his legs proudly, "But so what? Even if Mr. Shi, you really set it up at any cost. How can a jewelry company open up sales channels? How can a newly established company compare with a big company like the Zheng family that has been in business for decades?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, it's not that I look down on you. Although I don't know much about business, I also know the difference between a century-old store and a newly opened jewelry store. If you were a consumer, which one would you buy from?"

"Of course it's a century-old shop!"

"That's right! I think anyone who is smart will choose this way!" Wan Long said with a smile, "So, you should already know what the result will be."

Shi Zhijian nodded, "Indeed, I know the result is like this, but there is one thing—"

Shi Zhijian looked at General Wan Long with a burning gaze: "The Zheng family is in the jewelry business, and all they need is the raw jewelry you produced. What about your other minerals, such as silicon, tin, tungsten, and graphite?" Wait, will the Zheng family buy these things?"

General Wan Long was stunned, his legs that were shaking because of pride stopped shaking, and his eyes looked straight at Shi Zhijian: "What do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is very simple, I want what he doesn't want! I want what he wants!" Shi Zhijian leaned on the sofa and stared at him, his domineering side leaked!

Wan Long gulped down a mouthful of saliva: "Can I ask one more question, what is the use of so many minerals?"

No wonder Bandung was curious. Although Thailand is a well-known origin of rough jewelry, it is also a large-scale mineral origin in Asia with rich mineral resources.

Among them, tin is the most important mineral in Thailand, with a reserve of 1.5 million tons, ranking first in the world. Tin mines are mainly distributed in Chumphon, Ranong, Phang Nga, Phuket, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Trang, Songkhla, Yala and Pattani in the south.

Tin ore in Thailand is tin dioxide ore, most of which are black and brown ore, and the rest are red and yellow ore. Most of the tin ore is associated with ilmenite, zircon, monazite, tungsten, and niobium iron ore.

The areas controlled by General Bandung happen to be areas rich in mineral resources, so when mining rough jewelry, other minerals will also be mined.

It’s just that due to geographical location, coupled with Thailand’s warlord separatism in this era, the politics is somewhat unstable, so many minerals cannot be sold at a high price, and no one even cares about them.

And this has always been a heart problem for General Wan Long. He obviously has so many gold mountains in his hands, but he can't realize them, so that his military expenditures become tense from time to time, he pays his subordinates, bribes those supporters, and buys people's hearts, etc. , These all cost money! Now Bandung really can't make ends meet, and it's almost out of pocket!

So when Shi Zhijian suddenly proposed that he would not only buy those rough jewelry stones, but also those unsalable minerals, this gave General Wan Long a glimpse of hope.

"My lord, don't forget that in addition to real estate and health care products, I also run an electronic business. The most important of my many electronic businesses is the semiconductor business. Many of your minerals can be used in semiconductor manufacturing. , if you are willing to accept my proposal, then I will be responsible for swallowing all your minerals in the future, how about it?" Shi Zhijian picked up his teacup and saluted Wan Long from afar.

Wan Long was confused, he stroked his hair back vigorously, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, the secretary-general who was his confidant next to him stepped forward and whispered a few words into his ear.

General Wan Long calmed down now, looked at Shi Zhijian and said, "I'm very interested in your proposal, Mr. Shi! Besides, it's not the first day I met Mr. Shi, and I know all aspects of your character very well, but -"

General Wan Long pondered for a while, "This is a big deal! I can't make a decision just by listening to your words! As for whether to cooperate with you to develop jewelry mines, or to cooperate with the Zheng family in Hong Kong to make a fortune, then I give you three In a few months, let me see if your newly established jewelry company can match the Zheng family's Chow Tai Fook!"

Wan Long stood up and said: "If you can make achievements in jewelry in just three months, then I don't mind choosing a new store to open instead of patronizing the century-old store!"

Shi Zhijian laughed when he heard the words, stood up and said, "It's a deal!" He stretched out his hand towards General Wan Long.

"I'm a soldier, every spittle is a nail! I will never break my promise!" Wan Long and Shi Zhijian shook hands tightly.

…

Leaving the General's Mansion, Shi Zhijian's thoughts surged.

Now the matter is very clear, whether it is the American ambassador or General Wan Long, they are all waiting to see the joke, to see how this newcomer in the jewelry industry crushes the famous jewelry king "Shadantong"!

For Shi Zhijian, it is hard for him to get off now.

Not only did he want to take down the mines owned by General Wanlong, but he also wanted to kick the Zheng family out of the game. Most importantly, he also wanted to grab the minerals that included semiconductor raw materials.

Time is ticking!

Shi Zhijian must act!

…

When Shi Zhijian first appeared in the lobby of "Sing Siam Daily", many people did not know him.

"Who is this handsome boy?"

"I do not know!"

"What is he here for?"

It wasn't until Shi Zhijian said that he was looking for Gao Chaohui and gave his name that the scene exploded!

"Oh my god, the big boss is here!"

"He's so young?!"

"President of Shinhwa Group, Shi Zhijian?!"

Those men were okay to say, even though they were surprised, they could still hold on, while the girls covered their mouths and screamed.

Fortunately, the person in charge of the reception quickly passed the news to Gao Chaohui. Gao Zhaohui rushed out of the president's office immediately, hurried to the lobby and saw Shi Zhijian and Tang Long waiting for him at the front desk.

"Mr. Shi, why are you here?" Gao Zhaohui hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"I have something to do with you!" Shi Zhijian said.

"Go to my office to talk!" After Gao Zhaohui finished speaking, he yelled at the girls who were still screaming next to him: "Go back to work! It's not a celebrity meeting!"

Under Gao Chaohui's guidance, Shi Zhijian came to his office.

"What to drink, I'll prepare it for you!"

"A glass of water is enough!" Shi Zhijian sat down on the sofa and looked at Gao Chaohui's office. It was full of cultural atmosphere, especially on the wall behind the president's desk was hung a horizontal plaque - "Good Virtue Contains Things".

Gao Chaohui personally went to the water dispenser to help Shi Zhijian make water. Shi Zhijian smiled and said, "You are also a president after all, why do you still do such a thing?"

Gao Chaohui took the water and brought it to Shi Zhijian: "This is a newspaper office, not a big company that puts on a show. What is the female secretary going to do? I need to pay extra salary every month."

Shi Zhijian took the water and said with a smile: "I always feel that you are different from before."

"People will always change!" Gao Zhaohui walked to his desk, took out a stack of documents from the drawer and handed them to Shi Zhijian, "It just so happens that I don't have to make a trip when you come. You can read these documents." Now, according to what you mean, I have let Shinhwa Entertainment invest in several other major newspapers, including Thai language ones, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com and TV stations."

Shi Zhijian took the documents and read them carefully. They were all about the contents of the contract discussed in detail.

Shi Zhijian once promised Gao Chaohui that he would be the king of entertainment in Bangkok and even Thailand. If he can dominate Thailand's entertainment in a short period of time, then he will have the opportunity to participate in Shinhwa Group's plan to enter Hollywood.

"Have you reviewed all these contracts with a lawyer?" Shi Zhijian raised his head and asked.

Gao Zhaohui smiled and said, "You know I'm a very cautious person, and I've reviewed every contract at least three times."

"That's good!" Shi Zhijian said as he took out the pen stuck in his pocket and signed the contracts.

The Thai entertainment market in the late 1970s was nothing more than a few major newspapers, a few major TV stations, and film companies. Movies are not as good as Hong Kong, TV is not as good as South Korea, and newspapers are not as good as Taiwan, so the total amount spent this time is not too much.

"Where's Miss Palan, why didn't you see her?" After signing, Shi Zhijian handed the document back to Gao Zhaohui, and asked after taking a sip from his water glass.
