One week after the betting ended,
Zhou Chen took a few days off from Yenching University and then brought Tang Wu to Hong Kong Island.
Arrival on Hong Kong Island
Zhou Chen did not contact the Li family immediately, but met with Su Jiajia first.
Half a month ago, Su Jiajia was already in Hong Kong Island, doing some things for Zhou Chen. In the end, Zhou Chen himself needed to show up and sign the documents. In other words, Zhou Chen had to come to Hong Kong Island, even without the bet with Li Xiaolong.
"This headhunting firm is very famous internationally. It was a great help to me in recruiting the talents I had previously."
"We are in contact with chip R&D talents. As long as we provide the necessary funding, things should go smoothly."
"But their boss only has one request: he wants to meet with you."
When asked about the headhunting firm owner's insistence on meeting Zhou Chen, Su Jiajia felt somewhat helpless. She could have ignored anyone else, but not this one, because she needed his help at the moment.
Chip development requires talent. Zhou Chen's collaboration with Huawei is not just about providing funds; he also needs to have his own people in the R&D team. After all, he is the major shareholder. It would be unreasonable for him to not have his own researchers and rely entirely on Huawei.
This is not what Zhou Chen wants either; he wants to have his own research and development team.
However, the talent for mobile phone system development is completely different from that for chip development. Therefore, Zhou Chen had Su Jiajia collect chip development talent early on.
Su Jiajia has been busy with this matter during this period.
"It's just a meeting. As long as we can achieve our goals, I, the behind-the-scenes boss, am not unwilling to show my face."
Although he didn't know why the other party insisted on meeting him, Zhou Chen didn't care too much. Now, the HarmonyOS system had been developed, but it would still take some time to be fully implemented. The APP ecosystem had also begun to be built, and chip development was on the agenda. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and he didn't mind being exposed.
Perhaps the headhunting firm owner was simply curious about him.
I chatted with Su Jiajia for a while.
Zhou Chen was a little tired and went to rest early.
the next day,
Zhou Chen met the headhunting firm owner who had helped him discover many tech talents.
To his surprise, the other person was extremely young, looking only a few years older than him.
I had a very pleasant conversation with this young boss who also had an Asian appearance.
It lasted for more than two hours before it finally ended.
On the way back to the hotel,
Zhou Chen's face showed a hint of emotion. The other party already knew his identity. The reason they insisted on meeting him was that they wanted to establish a private equity fund with him. To be more precise, they valued his stock trading skills and hoped to work with him to get a share of the profits in foreign stocks.
This was something Zhou Chen hadn't expected.
He did not refuse, because only when interests are intertwined can they become the closest partners.
Zhou Chen needed a sufficient number of scientific and technological talents, and the other party had the ability to poach talent, and was at the top level in the industry, so there was naturally no reason for him to refuse.
certainly,
Zhou Chen was also well aware that the other party was a businessman who valued profits, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to open his heart to him. The fact that the other party was so young yet could become the owner of a top international headhunting company meant that his strength and background were not to be underestimated.
Even if it has half Eastern blood, we will still take certain precautions.
But for now, they can indeed make money together, at least in the short term, there won't be any problems. Plus, he has the advantage of being reborn and knows a lot of future information. By investing in foreign stocks through a private equity fund, he can make even more money.
To be honest, Zhou Chen was also tempted. After all, private equity funds can use a lot of money. With his foresight, he could make enough money to cover three, five, or even ten years of R&D expenses in one go by speculating on a few stocks.
On the third day of arriving in Hong Kong Island,
Zhou Chen took the initiative to contact Li Zhenrong and went to the Li family to take over the Li family's business shares.
After entering the Li family villa,
Zhou Chen saw many members of the Li family besides Li Zhenrong, and their eyes were full of hostility as they looked at him.
Zhou Chen laughed it off and didn't take it to heart.
After all, he took half of the Li family's business shares, so it would be strange if the Li family liked him. It would be normal for them to hate him and dislike him. If he were in their situation, he wouldn't be friendly either.
As the head of the Li family, Li Zhenrong had a broad perspective and always greeted Zhou Chen with a smile.
After chatting with Li Zhenrong about the shares for a while, Li Zhenrong seemed a little tired and waved his hand, letting Li Meihui take over.
When Zhou Chen saw Li Meihui again, he noticed that the lady's demeanor had changed.
Unlike before, she didn't exude a lazy air; instead, she had a strong, powerful businesswoman vibe.
Perhaps it was because she was hurt so deeply by Zhou Haide that such a big change occurred, which aroused Li Meihui's ambition.
However, after talking with Li Meihui, he realized he was wrong. Li Meihui was not a brainless woman; she was very shrewd, like a seasoned businessman. She not only had a clear understanding of the Li family's business, but also proposed to invest in Zhou Chen's business. Even when Zhou Chen rejected her, she was not angry. Instead, she smiled and said that as long as Zhou Chen had the idea of starting a new business, the Li family was willing to provide financial support whenever possible, as long as he only needed a portion of the shares and would not participate in the company's decision-making.
This made Zhou Chen look at Li Meihui with new respect. After all, to be able to say such things required not only great courage and willingness, but also a lot of confidence in him.
I never expected that I was so highly regarded in Li Meihui's heart.
This eldest daughter of the Li family is not just a pretty face; she is capable, but she just hasn't shown it yet.
No wonder Li Zhenrong had Li Meihui receive him. Zhou Chen realized that Li Zhenrong wanted Li Meihui to take over the Li family business. Li Xiaolong had angered many members of the Li family by losing half of the Li family's business shares, which caused widespread resentment. Naturally, Li Zhenrong could not hand over the family business to Li Xiaolong. Therefore, Li Meihui became the only choice.
“Mr. Zhou, although you took half of the Li family’s business shares, I don’t hate you.”
Don't think I'm saying this on purpose; I'm serious. Snapdragon has had it too easy, basically without encountering any setbacks. Even if it doesn't lose to you, it will lose its fortune to someone else someday.
Therefore, this calamity was something my Li family would have to go through sooner or later. It's better to go through it sooner rather than later. Besides, I don't think losing to you is necessarily a bad thing. Every cloud has a silver lining. Boss Zhou is so young, his future is absolutely limitless.
I hope Mr. Zhou can offer more suggestions on our business. After all, Mr. Zhou is now the largest shareholder of the Li family, and I hope we can work together to move forward.
Li Meihui's words made Zhou Chen feel even more that she was not a simple woman.
He found it hard to understand why Li Meihui, who was clearly so smart, would have fallen for Zhou Haide, that scumbag.
In the end, Zhou Chen could only conclude that Li Meihui had once been obsessed with romance.
Now that the "love-obsessed" mentality is gone, people are back to normal.
