Chapter 540: Pretending
After the Gu sisters beat up the man and left, Meng Qianjin walked over to Hu Dawei, who was wrapped in a sack and looked like a dead dog. Hearing him groaning and crying in pain, he felt relieved that he was not dead.
He asked someone to call 120, and before leaving, he couldn't help but kick Hu Dawei in the butt a few times. Ever since the last incident at the Zhang family, he had been under stricter control. He hadn't fought in a long time, and his hands and feet were itching.
Soon the ambulance arrived, and when the doctors and nurses arrived, Hu Dawei still had a sack on his head. It was the first time the doctors and nurses had encountered such a thing.
After taking off his hood, Hu Dawei saw the doctors in white coats and burst into tears. "Hurry up and take me to the hospital. I'm definitely disabled. I have money. Give me the best medicine."
The doctors and nurses were speechless for a while, but they still carried him to the ambulance. After arriving at the hospital, they conducted a series of tests and confirmed that they were all skin injuries, and there was no need for hospitalization. They just needed to take some medicine and apply it at home.
Hu Dawei, though a bit of a jerk, was no fool. He knew he'd been tricked tonight. He was unfamiliar with Kyoto, and after much difficulty, he learned that the owner of the Yemei Dance Hall was Meng Qianjin. He was about to retaliate, but someone told him he'd better not touch Meng Qianjin, as he couldn't afford to offend him.
Hu Dawei had naturally heard that anyone he randomly grabbed on the streets of Kyoto might be the son of a government official or a member of the Red Army. He really couldn't afford to offend them, so he could only return to Rong'an in disgrace.
Assistant Xu Yusen had already contacted Rong Anzheng, who naturally welcomed their investment. Xu Yusen didn't make a public appearance, but instead had his company's team visit Rong'an to survey the local market and ultimately determine which plot of land to purchase.
When the talks were almost over, and after repeated invitations from the Rong'an government, he went to Rong'an with his assistants and bodyguards, looking very impressive. If Han Zhengping saw him like this, he would definitely say he was showing off.
Xu Yusen wasn't really used to this style, but his trip to Rong'an wasn't just to discuss business; it was also to establish a connection with Hu Bangguo. It was said that the coal boss admired this style.
But the work still had to be done. He first inspected the land that his subordinates had taken a fancy to, then carefully read Rong'an's financial report, and then met with relevant political personnel to finalize the matter.
This series of operations was so publicized that almost the entire Rong'an business community knew about it. Many people could not help but admire Xu Yusen's generosity, and then the scale of the Xu family in Hong Kong also spread throughout Rong'an's business circle.
Things were almost done, Rong Anzheng held a cocktail party and invited important figures in Rong'an's business community to attend. Of course, the purpose was to let Xu Yusen, the God of Wealth, communicate more with local entrepreneurs and maybe make other investments.
This was part of Xu Yusen's plan, so he would naturally participate.
On the day of the banquet, Hu Bangguo attended with Hu Dawei. From a distance, he saw Xu Yusen, surrounded by people. He was young but very steady, polite but with a strong aura. Then he looked at his son beside him, who looked like a hopeless case, and he felt angry.
"Don't just eat, drink and have fun all day long. Look at others. If you were half as good as them, our Hu family's ancestral graves would be smoking." Hu Bangguo scolded Hu Dawei in a low voice.
Hu Dawei also looked at Xu Yusen and said, "Dad, don't blame me. Look at yourself. You can't give birth to a son like that."
Hu Bangguo wanted to hit his dog head.
Ignoring Hu Dawei, he smiled and walked over, intending to get to know this wealthy Hong Kong tycoon. Although they worked in different industries, wealthy people naturally formed a circle, and as long as they knew each other, they would expand their network.
As he approached, he first greeted a certain leader in the government and asked that leader to introduce him. Then, with the leader's introduction, he spoke a few words to Xu Yusen, of course, mostly just pleasantries.
After the greetings, Hu Bangguo chatted with his leader, who then said, "He looks easy to talk to and polite, but he's actually not easy to get along with. He's too strict in his work and hard to serve."
This leader was responsible for receiving Xu Yusen, and because of their different working styles, some complaints were inevitable.
"Young Master, your temper is not normal." Hu Bangguo said to his leader with a smile: "We all want money, so please be considerate of each other."
Hu Bangguo was able to expand his business in such a short period of time not only because of his strong fist and local dominance, but also because of his scheming and scheming. He had a good personal relationship with this leader.
"But maybe you should get to know him better," the leader whispered to him.
"What's wrong?" Hu Bangguo asked.
The leader leaned closer to him and said in a low voice, "The day before yesterday, I overheard his assistant reporting on the situation at coal mines abroad."
Hu Bangguo's eyes lit up. "He's also in the coal mining business?"
"Since you are a businessman, you will naturally go where there is money to be made. You are not the one who knows best whether the coal mine is profitable or not," said the leader.
"Then can you give me some connections so that I can learn about the situation of coal mines abroad." Hu Bangguo didn't want to invest abroad, but he felt that he couldn't be isolated from information. Maybe there would be an opportunity to make a fortune.
In the past two years, the state's management of the coal industry has become increasingly strict, and he has to find new ways to make money.
"Okay, I'll find a chance to make a private appointment with him later." The leader felt that he still had the face to do so.
But unexpectedly, when he made an appointment with Xu Yusen, he was politely rejected. "I've been busy these past few days and want to take a two-day break. I don't have time for other social activities. Sorry."
That's how it is, very politely saying something impolite. But what can the boss say? Although his face is not good, he still has to politely say sorry for disturbing him, after all, he is the God of Wealth.
But that's how people are. When they want to do something and fail to achieve their expectations, they become more obsessed with it.
Hu Bangguo was like this. He wanted to know whether Xu Yusen had really invested in foreign coal mines and whether he had made money, but Xu Yusen refused to meet with him, so he wanted to know even more.
It’s like if you miss this opportunity, you will lose a lot of money.
He found a way to contact an assistant named Qiu Yucheng from Xu Yusen's assistant team, invited him to dinner, and gave him some money.
Qiu Yucheng revealed that Xu Yusen had indeed invested in a coal mine in Indonesia. He also said, "In fact, Mr. Xu's main industries are not in China. Most of them are abroad."
"Isn't the Xu family's business in Hong Kong?" Hu Bangguo asked.
Qiu Yucheng: "That's the Xu family's business. Our President Xu has been investing independently overseas since college. His business has nothing to do with the Xu family in Hong Kong. Our President Xu really has a keen eye for investment, and his investments rarely go wrong."
Hu Bangguo imagined a grand drama of a wealthy family vying for wealth. But then Qiu Yucheng added, "Although our Mr. Xu isn't working at the Xu Corporation in Hong Kong right now, he's the only male in the Xu family, and Mr. Xu in Hong Kong is urging him to return every day."
Hu Bangguo smiled and poured wine for Qiu Yucheng, and then asked about Xu Yusen's investment in coal mines in Indonesia, but the assistant didn't know much and could only give him a general idea.
