Rooms 501 and 502 of Motai Hotel in Jiangling were occupied by Huang Biao, the director of the Blue Ray Electronics LCD Screen Manufacturing Factory, and Wang Xiaodong, the sales manager.
The two of them were relatives. After dinner, they realized it was still early, so they sat in the room and chatted.
Wang Xiaodong was not yet 30 years old and was at his most energetic age. He complained to the factory director while smoking. "CEO Hong of New Era is really arrogant. He didn't even invite us for a meal after discussing business. Don't the people in Hong Kong know the ways of the world?"
"Even if I do, I understand."
Huang Biao stared at the "Animal World" on the television and replied, "It's just that our status is not high enough, so he can't be bothered to spend more time on us."
"Did you see that beautiful CEO Zheng today?"
Wang Xiaodong continued to ask, "I heard that she was in charge of New Era before. CEO Hong succeeded in his power struggle, and now the electronics factory is under the name of Hong."
"Where did you hear that from?"
The factory director, Huang Biao, was in his forties and knew more information. "New Era will always be under the name of Zheng. Hong Shiyong is just a spokesperson."
"Actually, what does it matter what the name is?"
Wang Xiaodong looked at the heavy snow outside. His own silhouette was reflected in the glass window. He said faintly, "In their eyes, we are just an insignificant supply chain."
Huang Biao flicked the white ash off his cigarette and did not speak. He wanted to be respected and earn money at the same time. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
"Dong dong dong."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from the corridor.
Huang Biao thought it was the hotel staff, but when he opened the door, he realized it was not.
A young man stood at the door. In this weather, he was only wearing a sweater and a down jacket. The jacket was still open, and he had a friendly smile on his face. He nodded and greeted, "CEO Huang from Blue Sky?"
"You are?"
Huang Biao thought for a while and confirmed that he did not know him.
Wang Xiaodong heard the movement at the door. He saw that the young man was tall and had a ruffian look. He was worried that something would happen and walked over to stand beside Huang Biao.
"I'm Chen Hansheng from Nutshell Electronics. I'm just a poor boss."
The young man laughed and stretched out his hand. "Nice to meet you."
"We went to New Era for a meeting today and passed by a construction site."
Wang Xiaodong whispered, "Later, I asked around and found out that it was Nutshell Electronics. It is said that it is also a big factory that produces electronic products."
Huang Biao nodded, indicating that he understood. He reached out and shook Chen Hansheng's hand. "I didn't expect the boss of Nutshell Electronics to be so young."
This sentence was full of suspicion, but Chen Hansheng had a way. He waved his hand and shouted, "Brother Kai, it's your turn."
"There are others?"
Huang Biao and Wang Xiaodong looked at each other.
It was a familiar face. It was Li Xiaokai, the deputy director of the New Century Electronics Factory. They had just met at the venue in the afternoon.
This was a big shot. He was one of the leaders in charge of technology in the New Era. But why was he hanging out with the boss of Nutshell? Moreover, he was visiting in private. There must be something going on.
After Li Xiaokai appeared, Huang Biao and Wang Xiaodong confirmed the identity of Chen Hansheng. He was really the boss of Nutshell Electronics.
Several people chatted in the room for a while. Chen Hansheng looked at the time and said, "It is not even 8 o 'clock. I heard that Hong Shiyong did not arrange a banquet. I have arranged a table at Jinling Hotel. Boss Huang, will you do me the honor?"
Jinling Hotel was a five-star hotel. Wang Xiaodong's eyes moved.
"Thank you, Boss Chen. We have already eaten."
Huang Biao felt that it was not so simple. He was worried that there would be more problems, so he still refused.
"Boss Huang, what are you worried about?"
Chen Hansheng smiled, "I just want to order a batch of LCD screens from Blu-ray. There is a business opportunity."
"I see."
Huang Biao thought for a while and finally nodded and said, "Thank you."
… ….
After leaving the hotel room and going downstairs, Chen Hansheng drove the car over and signaled Huang Biao and Wang Xiaodong to get in.
"Land Rover."
After Wang Xiaodong got in, he took out his phone and sent a message to Huang Biao, "This car is very expensive."
Huang Biao: Xiaodong, what do you think they are up to?
Wang Xiaodong: Is Nutshell Electronics planning to order a LCD screen?
Huang Biao: If it is just business, then they are fathers. Have you ever seen a father treat his son to a meal? There must be something fishy.
Wang Xiaodong: What are you afraid of? We will not lose even if it is two against two, unless that Chen Hansheng can fight one against two.
Looking at the situation, if there is a fight, Li Xiaokai will be directly ignored.
However, there were no problems along the way. The four of them chatted casually and soon, they arrived at Jinling Hotel in the center of Jianye.
The five-star hotel was naturally very high-class. In the splendid hall, there was a faint fragrance in the air, and all the waiters were serving them with a smile.
Wang Zibo who had been waiting in the private room saw Chen Hansheng coming. He stood up and said, "Xiao Chen, I will go back to school first."
"Have you eaten?"
Chen Hansheng asked.
Wang Zibo shook his head, "No, the price here is too expensive. I will go back to the cafeteria and have a bowl of noodles."
"Then why are you still leaving?"
Chen Hansheng pointed at the chair, "I will leave after I finish eating."
Wang Zibo was a little hesitant, "Will I disturb you when you are talking with others?"
"No, you won't."
Chen Hansheng patted on Wang Zibo's shoulder, "I still have something that I need your help with."
Hearing that there was something that he needed help with, Wang Zibo decided to stay. He knew that there was a big gap between him and Chen Hansheng in all aspects. He was also curious as to what he could help his best friend with.
… …
During the meal, Huang Biao kept waiting for Chen Hansheng to make a request. However, Chen Hansheng seemed to have forgotten about this matter and was just chatting about the development of the domestic electronics industry.
After the meal, it was only 9 o 'clock. Chen Hansheng warmly invited Huang Biao and Wang Xiaodong to "relax" for a while.
"Forget it, it is too troublesome for Chief Chen."
Huang Biao refused again. The more enthusiastic Chen Hansheng was, the more uneasy Huang Biao felt.
"It is not troublesome, it is just at the side. I still have something to say."
Chen Hansheng pointed at Yingtai Shuihui and walked over with his arm around Huang Biao's shoulder.
Li Xiaokai quietly left. He knew what was inside Yingtai Shuihui, but he was not very interested in it.
Chen Hansheng nodded his head in agreement. Although Li Xiaokai did not like this kind of place, there were many people who liked it.
Wang Xiaodong was a salesperson in the market. He was very clear about these things. There was some expectation in his eyes. Of course, his impression of Chen Hansheng was also getting better and better.
Chen Hansheng had already made an appointment. He said the name "Kim Yang-myung" at the front desk. The waiter opened a secret door and led Chen Hansheng and Wang Xiaodong downstairs.
Wang Zibo had been to this kind of place before. However, he went upstairs and did not know what it was like downstairs. Originally, his heart was beating very fast, but when he saw such a narrow staircase, he felt a little disappointed.
"This is it?"
Wang Zibo muttered to himself, "The decoration is too bad."
However, when they really reached the bottom, Wang Zibo could not help but praise, "You can always trust Chen Hansheng!"
As far as the eye could see, rows of high-end chandeliers were shining brightly. The tiles on the floor were clean and tidy. There were all kinds of bronzes placed on both sides of the corridor. Although they were fake, there was still a dignified atmosphere.
From time to time, there were young girls in high-waisted cheongsams and 8cm high heels who smiled and walked past them. They would also politely bow.
Wang Zibo looked at them. Each of them was very beautiful. He felt a little embarrassed, but he could not control his eyes. Therefore, every time he looked up, he would first check if anyone was looking at him.
Wang Xiaodong did not need to be mentioned. Compared to the places he had been to before, the boss of Nutshell had really put in a lot of money.
At this time, the director downstairs walked over and looked at his hand. With a smile, he led Chen Hansheng to a private room. There was a sauna, hot spring, and a shower inside.
After the four men soaked in the bubbling hot spring, Chen Hansheng turned his neck and said, "Mr. Huang, I know that New Century has placed an order with you for two million yuan of goods. The delivery deadline is the end of April 2005. I would like to make a small request."
"What request?"
Huang Biao thought to himself. It was finally here. This was the most important part of the night.
"Can you delay the delivery of the goods to New Century until April 30th?"
The white mist in the room was too thick. Huang Biao could not see Chen Hansheng's expression clearly. He could only hear him say, "This way, it will not violate the contract you signed with New Century."
"What?"
Huang Biao was shocked. Wasn't this a deliberate trap?
Normally, suppliers would only deliver the goods in advance. Who would deliberately delay the delivery until the deadline?
If the New Era had made all the other preparations, all they had to do was wait for the LCD screen that met the requirements to be put into the pot. Hong Shiyong was basically going to explode.
Huang Biao could not help but look around, afraid that someone from New Century might be eavesdropping.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Huang."
Chen Hansheng reached out his arm and stirred the hot spring water. "That's why I didn't tell you until now. Now that we're all naked, you don't have to worry about me carrying a recording device or anything."
Chen Hansheng seemed to have seen through Huang Biao's inner thoughts. He spoke words of comfort.
"Phew …"
Only then did Huang Biao slowly relax. He glanced in Chen Hansheng's direction, thinking that although this young man looked like a ruffian, he was actually very thoughtful.
"Sorry, we can't agree to this request."
However, Huang Biao still refused. "If we do this, we won't have any business with New Century in the future."
"What are you afraid of?"
Chen Hansheng said indifferently. "Nutshell Electronics can place an order of three million with you. In the future, whenever there is a demand for LCD screens, Blu-ray will be the first choice."
Three million for one company, two million for another. An extra one million was not a small amount.
"Can I ask what your purpose is, Mr. Chen?"
Huang Biao still did not agree, but asked Chen Hansheng.
"It's too troublesome to explain."
Chen Hansheng smiled. "You can think of it as me avenging New Century's former boss, Zheng Guanting. It's relatively easy to understand."
At this time, two tall girls in cheongsams walked into the bathroom. They did not seem to see the four men in the bathtub. They took off their cheongsams and changed into gauzy pajamas. They smiled sweetly and walked over to greet them.
"Boss."
"Yes."
Chen Hansheng waved his hand. "I need to say a few words first. You can serve me later."
"Okay."
The two girls bowed and consciously sat a little further away from him.
Wang Zibo looked up. The room was shrouded in fog. The two girls, who were over 1.65 meters tall, walked through it like fairies from heaven.
"They are so beautiful. Why are they in this business?"
It was the first time Wang Zibo had seen such a scene. He could not help but lament.
However, Wang Xiaodong, who was beside him, was staring at the two girls. He could not see them. He even smiled greasily at Wang Zibo.
Wang Zibo was a little annoyed. However, considering that Wang Xiaodong was Chen Hansheng's business partner, he reluctantly dealt with it.
"Mr. Huang."
Chen Hansheng sighed. "I'll be frank with you. New Century is bound to go bankrupt. Don't you understand anything from Li Xiaokai's appearance?"
"One of the goals of Nutshell Electronics was to get rid of Hong Shiyong."
Chen Hansheng said seriously, "If you follow Hong Shiyong, you will only narrow your path. Nutshell Electronics' order of three million, it depends on whether Mr. Huang wants it or not."
Huang Biao remained silent. Chen Hansheng lit his cigarette and waited for Huang Biao's decision.
"If I do this, I will feel that I have betrayed Mr. Hong's trust."
Huang Biao said bitterly.
"Don't think too much. You lost Mr. Hong, but you still have us."
Chen Hansheng flicked the cigarette ash. "Mr. Huang, give me some time. Let the past be the past. Let the beginning begin. The road is under your feet. The choice is also in your hands."
"Hualala."
Chen Hansheng suddenly stood up, water droplets dripping from his body. "If you agree, I will transfer the three million to you before the end of the year. If you don't, I will treat Mr. Huang to a meal and a sauna. Just treat it as making friends."
"Let's go!"
Chen Hansheng waved his hand at Wang Zibo. He didn't even look at the two ladies in the corner. They were actually for Huang Biao and Wang Xiaodong.
Wang Zibo felt a little complicated. Especially when he thought that Wang Xiaodong could actually enjoy such a girl. He said to Chen Hansheng gloomily, "Xiao Chen, what do you need my help with?"
"If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten."
Chen Hansheng took out his phone. When it was almost 10 PM, his phone rang.
"Hello, Xiao Chen, did you drink tonight?"
Xiao Rongyu's sweet voice sounded from the phone.
"No, I didn't drink. I was very obedient. Tonight is just a gathering of my old colleagues from Rocket 101. Zibo is there too."
Chen Hansheng passed the phone to Wang Zibo and signaled him to lie.
"What the heck!"
Wang Zibo opened his eyes wide and asked in a low voice, "Is this what you meant by help?"
"What else?"
Chen Hansheng was also puzzled. "You can't really be thinking that you can help me with my business, right?"
