Chapter 155 Exchange Meeting Incident
The meeting officially began after Qiao Bazhi came in.
A man in his forties, looking very friendly, came up to the stage and said into the microphone, "Hello everyone, my name is Yan Yingcai, and I'm the person in charge of this exchange meeting. I'm also the person in charge of development in Shenzhen. I welcome all entrepreneurs to attend this exchange meeting."
Having said this, Yan Yingcai paused subconsciously, and the people in the audience immediately understood and applauded.
After the applause died down, Yan Yingcai smiled and then introduced Shenzhen's development plan and prospects to everyone, encouraging them to invest.
However, all those present were successful entrepreneurs with a net worth of over 10 million yuan. They were well aware of the projects that Shenzhen could undertake and were clear about their own goals and plans. Naturally, no one would be interested in Yan Yingcai's boasting.
Seeing that everyone was indifferent, Yan Yingcai brought up a topic that might be of interest to everyone.
"We have invited Mr. Qiao Yong, Chairman of Vanke Group, to this exchange meeting. He will make an impromptu speech later to summarize his successful experience."
As soon as Yan Yingcai finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Qiao Bazhi, who was sitting in the first row of the conference room. Qiao Bazhi had a faint smile on his face and nodded to everyone with a flushed face.
"Okay, next we invite entrepreneur representative Mr. Ren Hao from Haohan Paper Mill to come to the stage and speak."
“…”
After the entrepreneur named Ren Hao finished speaking, two more representatives and a representative from Shenzhen City took the stage. Then came the highlight of the day... Qiao Bazhi's speech. Throwing the estimate plan.
When the Shenzhen staff made the announcement, the drowsy atmosphere in the venue immediately disappeared and everyone began to applaud vigorously.
Even the fat man next to Tang Shuo, who had rarely moved like this, clapped his hands symbolically.
From this we can see that Qiao Bazhi has a very high status in everyone's hearts.
Qiao Bazhi walked onto the stage, smiled at everyone, and then gave a summary introduction to Vanke.
He didn't recount some procedural details like the previous few people had, nor did he express gratitude to the Shenzhen Municipal Government. Instead, he said directly, "The purpose of my visit is to help you all, to seek cooperation, and to enable your companies to progress and develop together with Vanke."
Wow...
As soon as Qiao Bazhi finished speaking, a discussion broke out in the meeting hall.
Everyone thought that Qiao Bazhi was just a figure brought in by Shenzhen City to save face, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen.
The news that a private giant with nearly 10 billion in assets and spanning multiple sectors would actually come to cooperate with a company like ours with tens of millions in assets was truly shocking.
Everyone's favorable impression of Qiao Bazhi increased greatly at once.
In their opinion, Qiao Bazhi's purpose must be selfless. Vanke is currently developing well, and if they want to make money, why would they care about their small businesses?
Of course, there were still a few people in the venue who were sane and did not believe in pie-in-the-sky schemes.
The fat man next to Tang Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, his originally small eyes almost disappearing. He said to Tang Shuo thoughtfully: "What is this Qiao Yong up to?"
Tang Shuo smiled faintly and replied, "Didn't he say he wanted to help everyone?"
Besides Qiao Bazhi, he was the only one in the meeting room who knew that Qiao Bazhi's current liquidity must be stretched to the limit.
I didn't expect that Qiao Bazhi could make the matter of asking for help from everyone sound so righteous.
If he succeeds, not only will Vanke gain reputation, but the other party's funds will also be able to circulate and get out of the predicament.
The fat man smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not that simple. You are still too naive."
“…”
Tang Shuo was speechless. In the past, people praised him for everything, such as his extraordinary skills and handsome appearance...
Well, he made up the idea that he was handsome.
But this was the first time someone praised him for his simplicity.
Seeing that Qiao Bazhi's speech was nearing its end, Yan Yingcai, who was sitting in the audience, immediately said to a young woman next to him, "Bring over the donation list."
"Okay." The young woman said, and immediately handed over the prepared list.
Yan Yingcai took the list, glanced at it, and threw it over. He angrily asked, "How did you calculate it? How could there be such a mistake in the data?"
"That's right." The young woman said confusedly.
Yan Yingcai picked up the list and pointed at Liu Kaicheng, who was ranked first, and asked, "What's going on?"
The young woman took a look and replied, "The data is correct. He did donate 100 yuan."
Yan Yingcai was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Didn't you tell him that the donation list would be announced and published in the newspaper tomorrow?"
"I told him." The young woman said very aggrievedly, "I even went to confirm this matter."
After hearing the young woman's answer, Yan Yingcai frowned, feeling rather dissatisfied with Liu Kaicheng. After Qiao Bazhi finished speaking, he took the list and walked up to the podium.
This donation was a spur-of-the-moment idea of his. As the person in charge of this exchange meeting, Yan Yingcai needed this eye-catching achievement to highlight himself.
But Liu Kaicheng is obviously a little ignorant. Isn't donating a hundred yuan a clear attempt to sabotage others?
Yan Yingcai had put on a new look when he stood on the stage. He said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Qiao, for your wonderful speech. I hope everyone can seize the opportunity to promote cooperation with Vanke Group."
"Next, we'd like to announce the amount of your donations." After a pause, Yan Yingcai continued, "Of course, the amount of your donations cannot measure your generosity. We are very grateful for your generosity. We will donate the money intact to the Red Cross and publish it in tomorrow's newspaper."
"This is an encouragement to the company's philanthropy. Good things should be known to more people."
Yan Yingcai smiled, spread out the list in his hand, and announced: "Vanke Group, Qiao Yong, five million."
"Chuangmeng Technology, Gaohua, one million."
“…One million.”
“…”
"Zhong'an Construction, Hu Dong, 800,000."
When Yan Yingcai made this announcement, the fat man beside Tang Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "These 800,000 yuan are better than feeding them to dogs."
Tang Shuo had already seen the fat man's name on the sign in front of him, which was Hu Dong. After hearing what he said, he was sure that the fat man was the chairman of Chong'an Construction.
"Why don't you donate more?" Tang Shuo asked playfully.
When Tang Shuo was chatting with Wu Gang before, he heard Wu Gang mention the construction of the Pearl River project once.
Chong'an Construction is a second-rate construction company, but it is indeed qualified to undertake the Zhujiang project. The important thing is that the other party's construction company never takes shortcuts on quality, so Wu Gang is more inclined to this company.
After all, the Zhujiang project was too large for a single construction company to handle, so several companies would have to work on it simultaneously. Chong'an Construction was one of the construction companies Sheng Tang was currently investigating.
It’s just that the project has not been established yet, so I haven’t contacted Hu Dong.
"The donation will be reported in tomorrow's newspaper. Not to mention being able to come up with the money, even if you can't, you have to bite the bullet and donate it." Fatty Hu Dong replied helplessly.
Hu Dong suddenly smiled and asked, "How much money did you donate on behalf of Kaicheng?"
"One hundred thousand?" Hu Dong asked doubtfully as Tang Shuo held up a finger. "One hundred thousand is a little, but it's barely acceptable."
Tang Shuo shook his head and said, "One hundred."
"How much did you say?" Hu Dong thought he was hallucinating and then asked for confirmation.
"One hundred yuan." Tang Shuo said, "The boss didn't ask for donations when I came here, and I don't have any change on me, so I can only donate one hundred yuan."
The fat on Hu Dong's face twitched.
From what he said, it seemed like he'd be willing to lower the price even more if he had some change. Was his goal fifty? Or ten?
After a long while, he slowly said, "Yes, although I will be criticized a little tomorrow, I did save money."
After announcing several recipients of 100,000 yuan donations, Yan Yingcai cleared his throat and solemnly said, "Next is the final donor, Mr. Liu Kaicheng from Guanwei Enterprise, who donated 100 yuan."
Wow...
When they heard this number, everyone was stunned and immediately began to inquire about who this Liu Kaicheng was.
