Xiao Yunhai and Wu Yifa both invited Hardy Fern to sit at the head of the table closest to the host. Hardy Fern, on the other hand, declined for a while, feeling that Xiao Yunhai was the richest man in the world and should sit at the top.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Hardy Fern, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Hua Xia is a country of etiquette. Respecting the old and loving the young is our traditional virtue. Here, you are our guest, and you are so much older than us. If you don't sit there, I'm afraid we can only stand. Otherwise, if the audience of Hua Xia sees us, we will be scolded badly. "
Hardy Fern nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll do as you say."
With that, he sat at the head of the table.
Xiao Yunhai saw Wu Yifa standing there in a daze, so he smiled and said, "Hurry up and sit. You are older than me and know more than me. You can sit in the second seat. "
Wu Yifa said, "Compared to two, I like the number three."
Xiao Yunhai said, "What a coincidence, me too."
Wu Yifa said, "Old Xia, I think you are more stupid than me. This position definitely belongs to you. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Alright. Actually, I don't particularly like mistresses. It's better to be a little silly. Fortune favors fools. "
"Pfft."
"Hahaha."
When the crowd heard their conversation, they all burst into laughter.
Zhao Wanqing and Wang Siyu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
The host, Zhang Xing, said, "Director, please mark the chairs properly. After number one, immediately jump to number four. Forget about number two and number three."
"Hahaha."
Everyone laughed again.
Zhang Xing said, "Our program has a total of three segments. The first segment is the guest speaker's speech, talking about his entrepreneurial journey. Who will start first? "
Xiao Yunhai and Wu Yifa gestured to Hardy Fern at the same time and said, "Boss, go first."
Hardy Fern didn't decline the invitation. He stood up and walked to the podium on the left, where he started to talk non-stop.
Hardy Fern was a genius. He was good at six languages, including English, Hua Xia, and Japanese. His eloquence was even better.
On the stage, he talked about how he made his first pot of gold, how he achieved success in the stock market, how he cooperated with other companies to establish Fern International Investment Company, and so on. Not to mention the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, even Xiao Yunhai listened with great interest.
Wu Yifa said softly, "Old Xiao, you're next. I'm worried that I won't be able to hold the fort. "
Xiao Yunhai looked at him in annoyance and said, "I'm already in the second position. Can't you, the third son, be magnanimous for once? Besides, are you sure you can do a better job than me? "
Wu Yifa recalled Xiao Yunhai's performance in the past and said, "Forget it, I'll go first."
Hardy Fern spoke for a total of ten minutes. He seemed to feel that it was a little too long, so he ended his speech reluctantly.
The audience gave him a round of applause that lasted for half a minute, which made Hardy Fern very happy.
Zhang Xing asked Hardy Fern to return to his seat and said, "Mr. Fern, you're right. Mr. Xiao, Mr. Wu, who will go first? "
Xiao Yunhai pointed at Wu Yifa and said, "This third son will go first."
Wu Yifa looked at him in annoyance and said, "Why don't the second son go first?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "The second son ordered the third son to give me a speech."
He then stood up and pulled Wu Yifa up.
"Hahaha."
The duo's comical appearance made the audience chuckle again.
Wu Yifa mainly talked about the development of Yun Yi's shopping website.
When it came to attracting investment, Wu Yifa said, "We had everything ready at that time and only lacked the east wind. What was the east wind then? Money, of course. I used to be in the clothing business and invested all my earnings into it. In the end, I was still a few billion dollars short. You have to know that to expand such a big business, investment is definitely necessary. Who should I look for? By chance, I met Old Xiao. "
"In fact, I've done some research on him. I realized that although he was rich, he didn't like managing a company. Usually, he'd find a trustworthy person in charge and be a hands-off boss. He doesn't care about anything and leaves the company to its own devices. Wasn't such a partner exactly what I needed? So, I treated him to a cup of tea, thinking that it would take a lot of effort to convince him. I didn't expect him to agree without a word when he heard about it. Not only did he not have any difficulties with the funds, he also provided us with a lot of help, allowing Yun Yi's shopping website to reach a mature stage and avoid countless risks. Hence, I still suspect that if it weren't for me, he might have been the top ecommerce player. "
"The series of events that happened later made me very glad that I'd found him as a partner. I can say with certainty that in this world, Xiao Yunhai is definitely the best business partner. Because he fully fulfilled his promise, only splitting the money and not doing anything. From the beginning of Yun Yi's shopping website's development until now, he's definitely not been there more than ten times. This shows how much trust he has in me, and at the same time, how lazy this guy is … "
"Hahaha."
Wu Yifa's speech revolved around Yun Yi's shopping website and Xiao Yunhai. He even mocked Xiao Yunhai without holding back, making everyone laugh.
After the speech, Xiao Yunhai stood up and walked to the podium without waiting for the emcee to speak.
"Just now, someone successfully molded me into a fool with a lot of money and a lazy guy. Haha, I just want to ask all of you, do you believe what he said? "
"Yes," the audience shouted in unison.
Xiao Yunhai glared and said, "Did you shout? Stand up and let me see. "
"Boom." Everyone stood up, laughing and joking.
Xiao Yunhai's Adam's apple bobbed as he chuckled. "I'm just asking. Everyone, please take a seat. Don't tire yourself out."
"Hahaha."
"Yun Huang is such a joker."
"Even Queen Qing stood up. Haha, I'm dying of laughter."
The audience and those in front of their televisions were rocking with laughter.
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and chuckled dryly. "I feel like I can't continue my speech."
The audience laughed again.
Xiao Yunhai gestured with his hands and waited for everyone to quiet down before he said, "Alright, I'll stop joking around. My speech is about to begin. To be honest, I really didn't want to participate in this show. Why? Because I'm overestimating myself. My wife told me two nights ago, 'Hubby, you can't even understand a financial statement and you still dare to participate in Fortune Forum. Aren't you a little too brave?' "
Everyone laughed again when they heard that.
The cameraman immediately focused the camera on Zhao Wanqing who was covering her mouth and laughing.
Xiao Yunhai continued, "To be honest, I'm quite impressed with myself. Since I was young, I've never read a book on business, let alone a book like Mr. Hardy Fern. The only thing that's related to this is the math class in school. "
