"We have coffee, black tea, and green tea at home. I wonder what you two gentlemen would like to drink?"
"Green tea will be fine. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Jin."
The secretary sitting below Wang Wenli naturally also agreed with his leader.
There was a complete set of tea sets at home. While Jin Zichu was making tea smoothly and elegantly, Wang Wenli also explained his purpose to Xu Manman.
"I didn't want to disturb Professor Xu's wedding, but this matter is urgent. Professor Xu is the only one who can help, so I took the liberty to come here."
Xu Manman was straightforward and could not learn the euphemisms of the officialdom. "Mr. Wang, please speak frankly. I will do my best to help."
I didn't say that I had no choice but to leave myself a loophole.
After all, she was not a formal employee, and she had taken on this job in the first place, so she could ask for help, but it was impossible to ask her to work like a slave and die.
What Wang Wenli said was really not simple. "Professor Xu should be familiar with the Hong Kong stock market. In the second half of the year, the country plans to have the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation take the lead in launching the listing of five companies, including the Beijing Machinery Factory, in Hong Kong.
When it comes to understanding the stock market and investing, there's no one else like Professor Xu right now."
Xu Manman didn't want to accept this high hat. From asset portfolio to account audit to registration submission, it takes a lot of effort, especially now that it is still from scratch in China. It may take two or three months at the shortest, or one or two years at the longest, and one has to be permanently stationed in Hong Kong.
Although her daughter Xiao Jin has a big business in Hong Kong and has a base, she doesn't want to take on such a heavy burden. In essence, she just wants to be a salted fish.
And it's not really necessary for her to do this. Hong Kong has had such an agency for a long time.
"To be honest, although I've made a small fortune in the stock market, when it comes to things like company listings, I'm still just talking about it on paper. At best, I can only provide theoretical guidance."
Wang Wenli took a sip of the tea that Jin Zichu handed him and placed the cup on the table. After a few words, he had learned the style of the young professor in front of him, so he stopped being tactful.
"Professor Xu is being too kind. Let me be frank. This time I came here because I wanted Professor Xu to serve as a listing consultant and accompany the delegation to Hong Kong to guide the listing process.
Of course, Professor Xu does not have to worry about his work at school. We will communicate with the school in advance. All the benefits Professor Xu received at Peking University and Tsinghua University will be retained, and everything will be the same after he returns from Hong Kong.
During Professor Xu's work in Hong Kong, we will also pay him a salary at the Hong Kong salary level. Oh, considering that they are newlyweds, Mr. Jin can also come along."
These conditions are indeed very attractive to ordinary people. For mainlanders, Hong Kong is a closer and more ideal place to make money than abroad, and countless people yearn for it.
Not to mention that the salary level in Hong Kong is many times higher than that in the mainland. You can get two salaries and support your family.
But Xu Manman is not an ordinary person. Not to mention that she can travel to Hong Kong City through the map, even though she has been in the United States for so many years, Hong Kong City is really nothing new or mysterious to her.
And as for the salary, to be honest, she really doesn't care about the money. She goes to work just to have a job so that her family can feel more at ease, and to earn some social status by the way. Compared with the level of salary, she cares more about how to have a better life.
So she refused.
Wang Wenli was also mentally prepared. As early as when he was investigating Xu Manman, he knew that these conditions might not impress her. In fact, there were other options. However, it was precisely because of Xu Manman's attitude and family background that she became the best choice.
Someone in her family was in the army. No matter what, she was not corrupted by the capitalist country after spending several years abroad. She even donated a large sum of money, which shows that she has a sense of belonging to the country and is firmly patriotic.
Such a person would not be dazzled by money and extravagance when she went to Hong Kong. Coupled with her keen understanding of the market and her own knowledge and accomplishment, she became the best candidate recognized by everyone.
And based on her performance in the U.S. stock and futures markets, she might be able to bring surprises to everyone in the Hong Kong market. However, this is a secret expectation that cannot be told.
He was not discouraged by being rejected by Xu Manman. It was not the first time after all. It was just that he was not the one who came forward before.
But he still used his emotional intelligence and eloquence, which he had cultivated over the years, to fight for his favor, and occasionally asked the host Jin Zichu for advice on tea art and architectural aesthetics.
