"But recently, most of the private coal mines have been shut down. Uncle Liu's life isn't as comfortable as before. I heard that he plans to invest in other energy industries. From what I know, he bought a lot of shares in a gas station investment company. A few days ago, he went overseas to investigate something … some new energy technology called wind power. He came back from abroad this afternoon and invited some people to his cocktail party to catch up. My dad and I are going as well. Although his business doesn't overlap with my family's, you know, people like us tend to … stick together. "
"I see."
Chen Guang thought about it and decided to go talk to him. If it really didn't work out, he could only bring out the imperial sword that the elders had given him. He didn't believe that he couldn't suppress Liu Chao.
'Old men, you can't blame me for leaking the news. You guys are having a good time being a hands-off shopkeeper. Who's going to charge and break through the enemy lines while I'm at the front? I'm almost dragging Zhuo Wei down to the point that even his underwear has fallen off.
My head is about to explode.
If you guys don't say hello, I'll say hello myself, right?
If the news really gets out, don't look for me. Go look for that Liu guy yourself.
"You know that I've been getting quite a lot of flak on the internet recently, right?" Chen Guang asked.
"What? Who dares to flame you? I'll go beat the hell out of them! "
He didn't expect Wang Qing to explode.
Chen Guang: "…"
Did you go to the primeval forest these past few days?
Right now, with the overwhelming attacks on the Internet, the power is not much different from directly appearing on the news broadcast, right? You actually don't know!
Wang Qing really couldn't be blamed. After helping Xiao Cong with the Throne Challenge, Wang Qing was sent to the deep mountains by his dad to be a supervisor. Today was his day off and he had to go to Boss Liu's cocktail party. He only came back early in the morning.
Ever since he stopped racing and started doing serious work, Wang Qing's life wasn't much better than Lu Fei and Zhong Bai's. He basically worked as a coolie for his family.
It was easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it. The second and third generation would have to take over the job sooner or later. Of course, the elders couldn't let them be too free. After playing around, it was time to get down to business.
Chen Guang and Wang Qing chatted briefly.
Only then did Wang Qing realize that Chen Guang was in a terrible situation because of a paparazzi. However, Chen Guang also pointed out that Zhuo Wei's backer was Liu Chao, so things really became troublesome.
"Brother Guang, don't worry. I'll accept this. Although I didn't know about the relationship between Zhuo Wei and Uncle Liu, I'll ask Uncle Liu directly. If it's true, he'll at least give me some face. I'll put in a good word for you. Sister Lu Fei and Brother Zhong Bai will be there tonight. If my reputation alone isn't enough, then the reputation of a few families combined should be enough. "
Wang Qing said that he would pick him up at around five o 'clock in the afternoon to go to Liu Chao's club.
"So this is your solution?"
Xin Qin leaned over and asked.
Chen Guang leaned back and leaned comfortably on his leather sofa. "Who doesn't have a backer these days? Since we don't want his life or money, then we'll compete with him on his backer. "
"So you want to pry open his backer?"
Xin Qin asked again.
Chen Guang snapped his fingers. "That's right, but there's no reward."
Looking at his smug look, Xin Qin rolled her eyes. She didn't ridicule him. Instead, she was looking forward to it in her heart. She really didn't know what would happen when that damn fatty suddenly found out that the backstage that he was most proud of had been overturned.
On the other side, Zhuo Wei wasn't very happy either. Boss Liu actually said that he didn't have time to see him today and that they could talk tomorrow.
Zhuo Wei felt wronged. My people are all in the hospital, but I can't even see Boss. I've wasted so many years helping you in the entertainment industry with Eight Weekly.
Without my secret help, would your Liushi Culture be able to progress so smoothly?
Of course, Zhuo Wei couldn't do anything about it. His relationship with Liu Chao couldn't be seen in the light. Many people could guess who his backer was, but he never had the chance to meet Liu Chao in public.
Liu Chao had many industries. Other than materials, energy, and mineral resources, Liushi Culture was the most famous. This was a top large-scale management company in the country. Its business included film and television investment, film and television production, film and television distribution, variety production, cultural publishing, 3D animation, actor management, and so on.
It had many artists under it, including A-list, B-list, and C-list artists. It could be considered one of the leading companies in the country.
Liushi Culture was established by Liu Chao more than ten years ago. After many years of development, and with Liu Chao's two-legged strategy, it had developed very smoothly.
First, Liushi Culture used Liushi Culture to build an external framework. Then, Zhuo Wei and Eight Weekly secretly provided intelligence support in the dark, including some publicity strategies. Zhuo Wei was in charge of all of them.
For example, in a movie released by Liushi Culture, Zhuo Wei first smeared its competitors in the market, then used all kinds of insider information to interfere with the other party's publicity strategy. At the same time, he helped Liushi Culture's movie from a positive angle on the Internet. A terrible movie that could blind people actually sold hundreds of millions of yuan at the box office.
Although Liu Chao had now become a well-known private entrepreneur, his style of doing things had always been like this. He judged a hero by the results. So far, he had not gone astray.
Usually, the local tyrants of the five capitals played their own games, and there were very few large-scale gatherings like wine parties. Only the second and third generations like Zhong Bai, Wang Qing, and Lu Fei liked to get together in private.
However, the real leaders of the older generation were too busy with their own things. How could they have time to hold a party?
Every time there was a big gathering, there must be a suitable reason. Otherwise, if you invited someone for a small matter, it would not be good for others to come, and it would make people unhappy.
This time, Liu Chao, who had just returned from abroad, could not wait to create a wine party. The reason was good. On the one hand, it was to receive the big shots from Yan Jing. On the other hand, he had also gained a lot from his exploration of new energy abroad. He had reached a strategic cooperation agreement with a foreign company with strong technical strength. It was almost time to start.
The purpose of him receiving the big shots from Yan Jing was to get involved in the new energy development project of wind power in Da Chuan Province.
The investment and potential profits involved in the whole big project were enough to make anyone tempted.
If the huge investment of hundreds of billions of yuan could be successfully put into production and connected to the power grid, the economic benefits that could be generated in a year would definitely be tens of billions.
Not only that, even if it was part of the bidding work of some equipment and buildings, the laying of the power grid and construction, and even the operation and maintenance work in the later stage, any small part of it would be a potential profit of billions.
Although the whole thing was inevitably led by the people from Yan Jing, how could the local snakes in Da Chuan Province not have a share of the profits?
The specific game involved in this was huge, but today's wine party could be regarded as a more formal meeting between everyone.
As the president of the Da Chuan Energy Association, whether it was for himself or for the local tycoons related to the entire Da Chuan Province, Liu Chao had the obligation to stand up and take the lead.
Although there might only be a few people who could really talk to the big shots in Yan Jing, the others who were slightly familiar with the scene could say, "Sir, I met you at XX place before."
Once these words were said, although it might not have much impact on the results of the negotiation, the relationship was different.
China was a society with a network of relationships. A nod of acquaintance was a relationship, and so was a friendship of life and death. Just a flash of the face was also a relationship. A little relationship was better than nothing.
On this side, just as Chen Guang and Xin Qin sat in Wang Qing's car and prepared to go to the club in the suburbs, on the other side, Liu Chao had already ordered people to wait in the club.
He was a little sleepy and was wearing a suit as he reclined on the sofa in the lounge to take a nap. It had been less than three hours since he flew back from Europe, so he had not recovered from the jet lag at all.
But it didn't matter. When the people came and needed him to appear, he only needed to get up and wash his face a little. Then, he could stand in the hall in high spirits.
Therefore, successful people had their own reasons for success. Although Liu Chao was born in the wilderness and did not read many books, he was able to do well in the business world after the transition. It was not unrelated to his strong spirit and willpower.
At about 5: 30, his personal secretary, a blonde beauty who could speak fluent Mandarin, entered the lounge. She bent down and whispered in Liu Chao's ear, "Mr. Wang and Mr. Yin Si's car has arrived."
Liu Chao suddenly opened his eyes. Two seconds later, the hazy sleepiness in his eyes was swept away. He quickly got up and went to the bathroom to wipe his face with water. Then, he turned back and asked Sarna to help him fix his hair. A big boss with a majestic gait came back to life.
"Old Wang and Old Yin, you two actually came together. Tell me, what were you two discussing behind my back?"
Liu Chao walked straight to the hall of the club and welcomed Wang Guoxiong and Mr. Yin Si.
In the hall, many people who were whispering to each other in groups of three to five also came over to greet them.
"Greetings, Mr. Liu."
"Greetings, Mr. Wang."
"Greetings, Mr. Yin Si."
The three of them simply nodded and smiled with the others. They waved and gathered on the sofa in the corner and sat opposite each other.
The others didn't care about the arrogance of these three people and returned to their original seats. Even if the people sitting here were at least tens of millions of yuan, or people who held power in a certain county or city, in front of these three people, their status was not enough. They weren't qualified to sit at the same table as them.
This was the status of the three of them in the Jianghu.
At least in Da Chuan Province, although Liu Chao, Wang Guoxiong, and Yin Si were not as domineering as a separatist region, they were at least people whose words carried enormous weight in the Jianghu.
The reason they could not be separatist was because transportation and information technology were developed now. Local tyrants could not go against the people above them.
The people in the Jianghu privately called the three heroes of Da Chuan.
"Go to hell. You're the one who's shameful."
Wang Guoxiong laughed and joked with Liu Chao. He then cupped his hands at the middle-aged man in black behind Wang Guoxiong. "I haven't seen you for a few months. Mr. Tie's complexion looks better. Did your martial arts improve again?"
The person who was called Mr. Tie also bowed politely to Wang Guoxiong. "Mr. Wang, you're too polite. At my age, I really don't dare to say that my martial arts have improved. If I take good care of my health, I'll be thankful if I can work for a few more years. I'm just afraid that when I'm old, Mr. Liu will see that I'm useless and send me flying with a kick. "
Liu Chao patted Mr. Tie's hand. "Old Tie, I don't like what you said. I owe you almost seven or eight or nine lives. When you're old, I'll be old too. Us brothers should put down our airs and go sightseeing wherever we like."
Seeing how close Liu Chao and Mr. Tie were, Wang Guoxiong and Yin Si were extremely envious.
This Tie Xinzhu was a powerful person. It was said that he came from some Jianghu sect. He could split rocks with his bare hands and was very powerful.
All these years, he had followed Liu Chao through wind and rain and saved Liu Chao's life many times.
Even when he was besieged by several assassins abroad, he could carry Liu Chao and jump into the sea to escape. He could even swim more than ten kilometers after being shot several times.
The two of them didn't have a powerful bodyguard like Mr. Tie. If they really had such a person by their side, anyone would be willing to risk their lives to have a heart-to-heart with him.
"By the way, you called all of us here. Is there really a plan for that?"
After chatting for a while, Yin Si brought the topic back to the main topic.
Liu Chao's expression changed. He first looked at Wang Guoxiong, then at Yin Si. He lowered his voice and said, "According to the information I've gathered, the new energy will be launched within half a year at the latest. Do you know who the representative from above is?"
"Who?"
"The grandson of the late Old Master Bai, the treasure of the old masters. He's now the vice president of Tianjin Energy Group and the third in command, Young Master Bai Hua."
The other two's eyes lit up. "Then we can really have a good talk."
