"I didn't say Zhonghua cigarettes. Can't Zhonghua toothpaste be shortened to Zhonghua?"
Chen Hansheng said with a smile, "Old Hong doesn't have the sense of humor he used to have after retirement."
"Director Chen is still the same as before. You always like to tease people."
Hong Shiyong shook his head helplessly, and the fat on his chin swayed.
Old Hong complained and then solemnly held the Zhonghua toothpaste in his hand in front of Chen Hansheng.
Chen Hansheng grinned and patted Hong Shiyong on the shoulder without saying anything else.
Old Hong's action meant that no matter what Chen Hansheng gave him, he would cherish it very much.
Of course, he might have other thoughts in his heart, but the meaning conveyed was very friendly. When people got along with each other, this was actually enough.
"Old Hong is still very capable. Whether it's the way of doing business or the rules of being a person, there are not many problems to pick out."
Chen Hansheng thought faintly in his heart.
In addition, Hong Shiyong's demeanor was also good. After losing the competition between New Era and Nutshell, he deliberately looked for Chen Hansheng before leaving Jianye to have a heart-to-heart talk. The two of them did not appreciate each other, but they had definitely turned enemies into friends.
However, Hong Shiyong was not the main character among the Hong Kong guests this time.
The one who occupied the center position was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He was of medium build and quite handsome, but it was obvious that he was a romantic and elegant man when he was young. His hair was combed and shiny, and he wore a custom-made high-end suit. He had the style of an elite lawyer in Hong Kong dramas.
This person was not a lawyer, but Zheng Guanjin's second uncle.
In the beginning, it was he who sent Hong Shiyong to compete for the leadership of New Era.
After failing, he still pushed the empty shell of New Era to his niece.
"Director Zheng."
Hong Shiyong introduced in the middle. "This is Chairman Chen Hansheng of Nutshell Electronics. I've mentioned him to you many times before. Director Chen, this is Mr. Zheng Guangyu, the general manager of Macau Tourism and Entertainment Co., Ltd. "
"I know, I know."
Chen Hansheng reached out his hand with a smile. "Second Young Master Zheng, I love to watch the entertainment news. I really like the emotional entanglements between you and those Hong Kong sisters."
Hearing Chen Hansheng's undisguised ridicule, Zheng Guangyu's smiling face froze. Hong Shiyong and the other followers' expressions stiffened.
The title "Second Young Master Zheng" was actually a nickname specially created by the Hong Kong paparazzi for the young Zheng Guangyu. Not only could it show the nobility of his family background, but it could also set off his romantic habits.
Zheng Guangyu had indeed been involved in many scandals when he was young. However, he was now almost 50 years old. Other than describing him as the "Second Young Master Zheng," there was really nothing else to show for it other than that he was quite good at playing with female celebrities.
"Since we know each other, let's sit down and talk."
In the end, Hong Shiyong hurriedly changed the topic.
For Old Hong's sake, Chen Hansheng chuckled and returned to his seat beside Zheng Guanyun.
Zheng's bestie turned her head. Chen Hansheng raised his eyebrows imperceptibly. The two of them had a tacit understanding.
Chen Hansheng and Zheng Guanyun had known each other for a long time. During their usual chats or supper, Zheng Guanyun had told him a lot of secrets about Hong Kong's wealthy families.
These secrets could not be found on Baidu. Or rather, the public only knew half of it. Only insiders like Zheng Guanyun truly understood.
From these narratives, Chen Hansheng learned about the 80-year-old Zheng family's grandfather. Although he had established a business empire that included jewelry, hotels, department stores, transportation, and so on, he had become a respected entrepreneur.
However, in private, he was very rigid and strict. He was more traditional. He had the idea of "passing on the family business to the son and not the daughter." When Old Master Zheng lacked energy, his eldest son, Zheng Guangsheng, gradually took over the core business.
As for the second son, Zheng Guangyu, and the third son, Zheng Guangchun, they only took some shares to earn interest.
Zheng Guangchun was Zheng Guanyun's biological father. However, her mother was not Zheng Guangchun's current wife. If one had to describe it, there was a saying in ancient times: "born of a concubine."
Zheng Guangchun's status in the Zheng family was not high to begin with, let alone Zheng Guanyun. Therefore, when they first met, Chen Hansheng flattered Zheng Guanyun and called her "princess," while Zheng's bestie mocked herself as "princess in distress."
Therefore, although the Zheng family was very rich, it was all concentrated in the hands of Old Master Zheng and his eldest son, Zheng Guangsheng. The other two brothers did not have much assets. Therefore, after the loss of the investment in Southeast Asia, Zheng Guangyu thought of using the New Century Electronics Factory to plug a hole.
Of course, there was no need to worry about these two sons. Once Old Master Zheng passed away, although they would not be able to get the core shares of the company, they would at least have a few billion in inheritance. In 2006, they would instantly jump into the top 50 of the mainland's rich list.
However, for Chen Hansheng, the more he learned about the inside story, the more the legendary rich families slowly removed the veil.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder. After Chen Hansheng thoroughly understood the situation, he actually became arrogant and felt that he should compare himself to Old Master Zheng, who also started from scratch, and his three sons were not worthy of being compared.
Therefore, Chen Hansheng mocked Zheng Guangyu just now. Firstly, it was to avenge Zheng's bestie, and secondly, he was not afraid at all.
When Zheng Guangyu inherited billions of assets, Chen Hansheng's wealth might start to double again because of the Android system's popularity in 2008.
… ….
Xiao Mi's conference room was very spacious. After the guests and the host sat down, Zheng Guangyu's brows were still tightly knitted.
The main reason was naturally the arrogant chairman of Nutshell Electronics, Chen Hansheng. In fact, when New Century and Nutshell Electronics were fighting, Hong Shiyong had done a report on it.
However, at that time, Chen Hansheng was still in his third year of university. Although he was somewhat famous in the mainland, Zheng Guangyu did not pay attention to him.
Who would have thought that the entire New Era would be dug up by Chen Hansheng so quickly?
What was even more unexpected was that the New Century that had become an empty shell was actually revived after being renamed "Xiao Mi" by Zheng Guanjin.
Therefore, other than Chen Hansheng, his niece Zheng Guanjin was also the second reason that made Zheng Guangyu feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Zheng Guangyu and Zheng Guanjin usually did not have much time to meet. Zheng Guanjin used to study in the United States, and when she was in Hong Kong, she always stayed in her room quietly. Even her meals were served by the Filipino maid.
Zheng Guangyu only knew that his younger brother had a daughter born from a concubine. In his impression, she was very beautiful, but her personality was a bit "low-key".
Only now did he know that Zheng Guanjin was not low-key at all. She just did not want to waste too much energy in Hong Kong. The mainland was a broader stage.
Right now, Zheng Guanjin's Xiao Mi Electronics was already a well-known electronic product manufacturer in China. Xiao Mi branded mobile phones were already sold in Hong Kong.
Thinking of this, Zheng Guangyu could not help but raise his head and glance at the opposite side.
Chen Hansheng took out a nail clipper out of nowhere and leisurely sharpened his nails while blowing on them casually. It was as if he didn't care about anyone at all.
Zheng Guanjin politely raised her head and stuck out her chest with a smile, but Zheng Guangyu also knew that this niece was difficult to deal with.
Just now, when Chen Hansheng was teasing "Second Young Master Zheng", Zheng Guanjin sat on the stool and almost did not move at all. It seemed that she wanted to watch her second uncle make a fool of himself.
"Ahem ~"
Zheng Guangyu coughed and gave Hong Shiyong a look.
In this situation, Zheng Guangyu did not want to speak in person because of his pride. Only the loyal Old Hong could break the silence.
"President Zheng, President Chen …"
As soon as Hong Shiyong called out the name, he heard Chen Hansheng chuckle and say to himself, "Trouble is coming. It's all Hong Shiyong's fault."
Ning …
