Chapter 169 Investment Seminar
The next few days.
There are still so many people gathered at the entrance of the village, talking and laughing.
It seems that what happened a few days ago did not have any impact.
However, those who are more thoughtful still keenly discovered a little difference.
The Zhang family doesn't seem to be as easy to talk to as they used to be, especially Fu Li and Lao Zhang, who are not as easy-going as before.
There is no change in Zhang Chi.
He didn't have many playmates in the village, and there were not many peers who could play with him since he was a child.
Apart from Daguang and Gangzi, Long Xiaoyun is definitely one of them.
As for Chen Hui, their relationship wasn't actually that close.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Chi never regarded him as a close friend, but as a qualified employee.
Chen Hui seemed to be aware of this.
Therefore, after that incident, he restrained a lot of his politeness and emotions and began to consider issues from the perspective of an employee.
Fortunately, he is a down-to-earth and hard-working person. This change does not harm Zhang Chi, but is a good thing.
For this reason, Zhang Chi also increased his training and allowed him to participate more in various tasks of the car rental company.
And he was told clearly that when he was able to take over, his position would be transferred, and he would be the manager of the car rental company in the future, and his salary and benefits including dividends would increase significantly.
Chen Hui was very happy about this and was looking forward to that day.
That day won't be too far away.
On the first day of November.
Zhang Chi received an electronic invitation letter from Haisha Airport, inviting him to participate in the investment promotion seminar this Saturday.
Zhang Chi planned to take Gangzi with him to see the world and get to know more people.
The people who can attend the meeting are basically merchants or investors who will run various stores at the airport in the future, so it is inevitable that they will have to deal with each other.
Moreover, the newly built Haisha Airport will start trial operation in May next year.
In just half a year, businesses had to work overtime to rush the renovations so that they could be ready in time for the airport's opening and operation.
This time it was not only an investment seminar, but also a way for each merchant to make an on-site inspection and submit their store decoration and operation plans as soon as possible.
The airport will review each person's submitted proposal to ensure there are no competing categories and unified decoration standards.
Such a professional thing.
Zhang Chi thought about it and decided that only Fang Hua could help him.
This is at the construction site in Qingzhu Mountain.
Zhang Chi told Fang Hua about his needs.
Fang Hua looked at Zhang Chi in disbelief when he heard this.
I didn’t expect Zhang Chi could get such a large area at the airport.
A full 3000 square meters!
He also has three border trade permits, which means he can operate a wide range of duty-free shops!
"Mr. Zhang, do you mean to only provide the decoration plan, or do you want us to plan the business category as well?"
Zhang Chi heard this and nodded with a smile: "If possible, I hope your company can take responsibility together. Don't worry about the expenses."
"Of course, you are the most straightforward Party A I have ever met."
Fang Hua laughed and said sincerely.
Zhang Chi is not short of money, she has always been very sure of this.
Because every time the settlement date agreed in the contract arrived, Zhang Chi would have already deposited the money into their company's public account without her having to ask the finance department to urge them.
In an era where overdue project payments are as common as everyday occurrence, Zhang Chi's approach of not being short of money is quite unusual.
But this alternative quality is what an honest businessman should possess.
Fang Hua is looking forward to continuing to work with Zhang Chi.
“Then we’ll see you next Saturday.
"Saturday morning at 19:, Shangri-La Hotel, Mr. Fang, don't forget it."
Next, Zhang Chi, under the leadership of Fang Hua and Long Jingshan, inspected the construction progress of the track.
After confirming that the business would open on January 1st of the next year, he left Qingzhu Mountain with great satisfaction.
·
Time quickly came to Saturday.
Gangzi, dressed in a suit and tie, drove the big Mercedes-Benz that Zhang Chi had bought from Duntou Village early in the morning.
That was the Mercedes-Benz S480 that was burned by Wang Hu and others in Fan Yinian's car.
After the renovation, the car looks brand new.
People would believe it if I said it was a new car I had just picked up.
At the same time, the photo taking was also changed to local photo taking. With the help of Chen Bin, the local boss, Zhang Chi now turns to him for car registration, which is quick and worry-free.
"Oh, Chizi, this car is not cheap."
In front of Lao Zhang’s house.
Several neighbors saw Gangzi driving a Mercedes-Benz and parked at the door, and they all gathered around curiously.
Zhang Chi walked out the door, took a look, smiled and nodded to a few neighbors he had a good relationship with. As for the few people who had been weird to him, he didn't even look at them.
Who doesn't have a temper?
Zhang Chi doesn't owe them anything.
Seeing this, they took a few steps back in embarrassment.
As for the neighbors who had a good relationship with the Zhang family, they came forward and exchanged greetings with Zhang Chi for a while, in order to consolidate their relationship.
Seeing that Zhang Chi is becoming more and more successful, if they don't show their ability now, how can they ask Zhang Chi for help in the future?
Zhang Chi knew exactly what these people were thinking. He responded with a smile on his face, but he actually felt a little disgusted in his heart.
He has done all he can.
After that day, although he had no intention of moving away, he had a clear purpose.
That is, don't get too close to irrelevant people in the village. If necessary, he can play the bad guy and let his parents play the good guy.
After answering a few insincere questions.
Only then did Zhang Chi get rid of the harassment of several villagers and let Gangzi drive away quickly.
Speechless all the way.
It was almost 10 o'clock when we arrived at the Shangri-La Hotel.
As soon as he got off the car, he saw sisters Fang Hua and Fang Fang standing in the hotel lobby waiting for him.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Fang Hua smiled and said that they came early.
Zhang Chi glanced at the time. He arrived on time and didn't know how much earlier the two girls had arrived.
At this time, Manager Zhou from the hotel lobby came over with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, long time no see."
"Oh, Manager Zhou, long time no see."
When Zhang Chi saw Manager Zhou, he shook hands with him enthusiastically. Although Manager Zhou was only a lobby manager of a hotel, he should not be underestimated.
The last time Zhang Chi asked him to investigate Chu Chu's affairs, he even found out some photos of Chu Chu's life in college.
Let alone that stuff, if you are not Chuchu’s classmate or relative, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find out in such detail.
Not to mention Chuchu's mother's medical condition and treatment. The level of detail in the information shocked Zhang Chi.
I chatted with Manager Zhou for a while.
Zhang Chi and the other three were sent into the elevator. Manager Zhou did not go up with them because he had other important guests to receive.
We arrived at the banquet hall on the 28th floor. It had been transformed into a large conference room, and most of the participants were present.
When they saw Zhang Chi and the other three coming in, some people came over to inquire about their identities and investment areas.
Zhang Chi wanted to train Gangzi, so he pushed him to the front.
Gangzi was a little reserved at first, but when he learned that Zhang Chi had actually won the largest investment promotion area in the new airport, his attitude immediately changed.
Not to mention being arrogant, but at least his voice was a bit louder.
The presence of the airport’s largest merchant naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Many people were a little surprised when they saw Gangzi, but only after they recognized Zhang Chi's identity did they turn their surprise into a desire to make friends with him.
However, they did not make friends with Gangzi, but went directly to find Zhang Chi, the real boss.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang. Do you still remember me?"
When Zhang Chi saw a few people coming over, he was stunned for a moment, and then the scene at the Binhai Club before appeared in his mind.
The people in front of me seem to be members of the club.
"Oh, you are Mr. Li."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm Li Yunsheng, and my family runs a catering business."
"Hello, Mr. Zhang. I'm Qian Xin. I started my own coffee chain."
"Master, my name is Sun Peng, and I've competed with you before."
Zhang Chi smiled. These people were about the same age as him. The oldest was only about 37 or 38 years old, and the youngest, Qian Xin, was only about 26 or 27 years old.
However, those who can come to this investment seminar basically have some connections and assets in their families.
Zhang Chi smiled and shook hands with several people.
At the same time, I also introduced the Fang Hua sisters to several people.
When they heard that Fang Hua ran a decoration company, several people's eyes rolled.
The youngest, Qian Xin, was very good at handling things. He smiled and said, "That's a coincidence. Since Mr. Fang is an expert in this field, I'll leave it to Mr. Fang to take care of my coffee shop."
Sun Peng and his companions looked at each other and brought the business to Fang Hua's lips.
Fang Hua looked at them in amazement.
Especially Qian Xin, she actually knows this Qian Xin.
Because she had previously competed with Qian Xin for a decoration plan for a chain of coffee shops, but ended up losing to the largest local decoration company.
At that time, she thought that since they were of similar age, there should be a great chance.
Unfortunately, Qian Xin didn't give her any chance to speak. Even when she was introducing the plan on the stage, Qian Xin didn't even look at her.
But what is the situation now?
Fang Hua was stunned at first, then looked at Zhang Chi with gratitude.
She knew that these people were coming for Zhang Chi, and feeding business to her was also a way to please and flatter Zhang Chi.
Fang Hua felt that he was increasingly unable to understand this young man whose hometown was in the countryside.
He's not that much older than her, so why does he feel so awesome?
·
"Brother, who's that over there?"
In a corner far away from the core area, several people who were also attending the meeting sat together obediently.
One of the girls saw Zhang Chi being flattered by so many people and couldn't help but ask the big brother next to her curiously.
Qi Hai glanced in the direction of Zhang Chi and the others, squinted his eyes, and whispered: "I don't know him either. And didn't I tell you not to butt in?"
The girl said "oh" and pouted her lips in displeasure.
However, her eyes never left Zhang Chi for a moment, as if she had seen this person somewhere.
At this time, a middle-aged man nearby said, "Boss Qi, that person should be Zhang Chi, the car god of Binhai who has gained fame recently. He has a good relationship with Ye Hongguang. Most of those people should have befriended him just for Ye Hongguang's sake."
Qi Hai heard this and asked curiously: "Manager Wang, the Ye Hongguang you mentioned is from this hotel..."
"Yes, who else in Haisha dares to call himself Ye Hongguang? Who else besides this person?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but remind him, "Boss Qi, if we want to gain a foothold in Haisha, we can't avoid Boss Ye. How about you go and get to know him?"
Qi Hai raised his eyebrows and said, "What's so great about Mr. Ye? Is it worth it for me to go to such lengths to get him?"
Manager Wang opened his mouth when he heard this.
He glanced at Qi Hai with a strange look in his eyes, and then said awkwardly: "Boss Qi, I want you to get close to Zhang Chi. As for Boss Ye, well, I'm not afraid that you will be angry. Even if Boss Qi comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to see him."
"fart!"
Qi Hai frowned.
But his sister couldn't help but scold when she heard what Manager Wang said, "Uncle Wang, my dad is a well-known entrepreneur in Jiangsu and Zhejiang after all. How dare he, a small merchant in a third-tier city, dislike my dad?"
Manager Wang felt helpless when he heard this, but he was not angry.
He glanced at Qi Hai and was relieved to see that he did not refute him.
Manager Wang ignored the young lady's attack and looked at Qi Hai, saying, "Boss Qi, although Shenzhou Car Rental has developed well in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is far behind Ye Hongguang in terms of scale. You should also know that Ye Hongguang is not only a billionaire, but also a very insightful investor, and he also has certain connections in the political world."
Qi Hai glared at his sister, then nodded and said, "I understand what Manager Wang said, but I don't agree with your suggestion. The God of Cars is just a small internet celebrity. Why should I try to please him? As for Ye Hongguang, I will use my connections with my old classmates to meet him."
Manager Wang was stunned.
Although Qi Hai respected him very much, his words were obviously meant to deceive him.
Besides, as a rich second-generation who has not yet inherited the family business, why do you look down on others?
As far as he knew, Zhang Chi was also worth a lot of money, but no one had ever calculated his assets in detail.
However, judging from the fact that he was able to catch Ye Hongguang's eye, his ability and strength are probably no less than any of his peers.
Manager Wang felt helpless as Qi Hai looked down on Zhang Chi.
Just when he was trying to persuade Qi Hai.
A young man with a pointed chin and monkey face trotted in from behind, shaking water off his hands as he ran. He must have just come out of the bathroom.
The young man sat directly in the same row as Manager Wang.
Several colleagues looked at him and said nothing.
The young man smiled and looked up, just in time to see Zhang Chi talking and laughing with someone not far away.
"Hey, isn't that Master Zhang?"
Manager Wang looked at him curiously, then followed his gaze to see Zhang Chi not far away.
A colleague beside the young man also asked curiously: "Which Master Zhang?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's the Internet celebrity on the street. You, oh, you have only heard of his name, but have never seen him in person."
Manager Wang frowned and asked, "Are you talking about that unsociable auto mechanic Xiao Zhang?"
The young man nodded and said, "Who else could it be besides him? Manager Wang, you should have a deep impression of him. When he was still in our company, he sent reports to your department every day."
Upon hearing this, Qi Hai and his sister looked at Manager Wang curiously.
Seeing this, Manager Wang couldn't help but frowned and explained to the two of them at the same time.
Of course, he would not say that the mechanics' operations were directed by the big boss, but simply said that it was part of the business.
Qi Hai and his sister were not stupid, so of course they understood.
However, they remain silent about their company's gray income. They do not agree with it, but they do not oppose it either.
I just didn't expect that there are still such stubborn people in this day and age.
After Manager Wang finished speaking, he looked at the young man and asked, "Are you sure that Xiao Zhang is the man?"
The young man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks nodded repeatedly and assured, "Of course I'm not lying. I worked as a manager at Internet Celebrity Street for two years. I suffered a lot from this guy at that time. He is just an idiot."
Manager Wang raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Hai.
Qi Hai took a deep breath.
His sister's eyes lit up, and she said, "I was wondering why he looked familiar. It turns out he's an employee of our company. That makes things easier. I'll go talk to him in person. I don't think he'll refuse to help."
