At two o'clock in the afternoon, when Huo Yuanchen saw An Moxue, his excited and expectant heart could no longer be ignored. He knew that he had a strong liking for this beautiful and intelligent woman, but he still restrained himself and kept a polite expression on his face. "Miss Jiduo, it's been a long time."
An Moxue smiled and replied, "Long time no see, Mr. Huo, you've made a fortune!"
Huo Yuanchen said, "Miss Jiduo has such good connections! Doesn't Miss Jiduo also have a share in this investment?"
An Moxue said nonchalantly, "How much is that? Are there any good projects lately?"
"Hong Kong Island is thriving in all aspects, and investments there rarely result in losses. However, I've heard that some businessmen in Lanzhou are hesitant due to policy changes. But I think this is a golden opportunity, so my next step might be to invest in some companies that want to expand into the mainland. The situation is uncertain, and the risks are huge, but I believe that high risk always comes with high reward. I just wonder what Ms. Jiduo thinks?"
An Moxue looked at Huo Yuanchen, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "So, Mr. Huo is very optimistic about the future development of Lan Kingdom?"
Huo Yuanchen paused for a moment, then spoke after thinking for a while: "To be honest, I'm not sure either. But from a historical perspective, it should be developing in a positive direction. Throughout history, at the beginning of the establishment of a new dynasty or regime, there will be some internal turmoil and infighting, followed by stable development. I believe that the turmoil of the new government of Lan Kingdom has ended, and the future will be a long period of peaceful and friendly development."
An Moxue once again praised Huo Yuanchen's political acumen, saying that he was indeed a capable person who could always see through appearances to the essence of things.
She smiled and said sincerely, "Based on Mr. Huo's remarks today, I believe that Mr. Huo's investment this time will not be wrong. I will draft a proposal with you. After I have read it and have no problems, we will sign the contract. Let's agree in advance that the amount will be more than the funds you currently have."
Huo Yuanchen's eyes widened as he looked at An Moxue in disbelief. "Miss Jiduo, aren't you going to do some research? You're just going to believe me and invest such a large sum of money based on my word alone, without any supporting data?"
An Moxuan smiled confidently and asked, "I've always trusted you as a person. Will you disappoint me and cause me financial loss?"
Huo Yuanchen smiled confidently and said with certainty, "No." Even if Miss Jiduo's trust was lost, he could simply make up for it with his own savings. He couldn't let her unconditional trust go to waste.
“Then what do I have to worry about?” An Moxue said, then stood up and said, “Please ask Mr. Huo to make a decision as soon as possible, as I may not be staying in Hong Kong for long. Once things are settled, I’ll be leaving.”
Huo Yuanchen stood up and tried to persuade her to stay: "Why don't you stay, Miss Jiduo? I'll treat you to afternoon tea. How about that? It's always good to be a good host."
An Moxue waved her hand and walked out. "No, I'm a bit pressed for time. I have other appointments to discuss. Let's reschedule for another time!"
"Alright!" Huo Yuanchen watched her retreating figure and sighed inwardly. It was difficult to even meet her, let alone make an appointment. Miss Jiduo seemed to be very busy. He returned to his office somewhat dejectedly.
An Moxue left Guangfa Investment Bank and drove straight to Zhuang Zhou's newly established company.
When An Moxue entered, she saw a bustling scene, with several people even running around doing their jobs.
She didn't call out to anyone, but walked in looking around until she reached Zhuang Zhou's office, where three people were standing in front of her desk, holding documents and reporting on their work.
Zhuang Zhou was signing documents while listening attentively to her subordinates' reports, her head bowed, until someone came out. When she looked up, she saw An Moxue.
Then, she stood up excitedly and said to the remaining two people, "Leave your documents here, and leave first. We'll talk later." Then she quickly walked towards An Moxue.
An Moxue gave her a big hug and joked, "Hong Kong's environment really does nourish people. In just a few months, Zhuang Zhou, you've gotten a bit tanned, but you're becoming more and more radiant. It seems like your work is going very well."
The two separated and sat down. Zhuang Zhou poured her a glass of warm water and said, "Thanks to the connections Miss Jiduo gave me back then, they played a big role. At least I wasn't harassed by the gangs here."
"It seems I should prepare a gift and go to express my gratitude properly. Gangs are rampant here now, and it's hard to survive without support."
Zhuang Zhou sighed, "Absolutely! It's way crazier than Oseri. I rarely go out at night unless I have to. In the few months I've been here, I've constantly heard news of gang fights. It's like fighting without getting hurt or dying. When I first came here, I even wondered if this was one of the legendary Four Little Dragons? How could it be so chaotic? It's unbelievable. Truly, in chaotic times, kings emerge, and whoever is ruthless is the strongest!"
An Moxue was amused by her remarks and said, "The Zhuang Zhou who was not afraid of death back then is afraid of this little scene?"
Zhuang Zhou calmed himself down and said, "It's different. Back then, I was at my wit's end, and I had no choice but to fight to the death. Maybe then I could survive. But now, I want to live a good life."
"It's great. Shouldn't life just get better and better? By the way, how's the preparation going?"
Zhuang Zhou said, "We've hired some designers, all according to your requirements. It's hard to tell their skill levels yet, but they're all very diligent. How about we go to the factory workshop?"
“Okay! Let’s go!” An Moxue said, standing up and walking outside.
When the staff saw Zhuang Zhou and An Moxue come out, they all greeted them politely. Seeing Zhuang Zhou's respectful manner in front of An Moxue, they all guessed what An Moxue's identity was.
The two walked along, while the workers hurried past.
An Moxue praised, "They are all very proactive, and they seem to be doing well. However, security and fire prevention must be in place. If there aren't enough people, we should ask Duoze to transfer people over. We must ensure that trustworthy people are in charge of guarding the area, especially after we achieve results. Some envious competitors may try to sabotage us, so we must be on guard."
"Yes, I will contact Duoze. Miss Jiduo, is this trip just a stopover, or has there already been news from Lan Kingdom?"
"I've got news, but we need to change our first stop. We'll go to Shanghai for now. As an open pilot area, Shanghai offers more preferential policies, which will be more conducive to our development. I've already obtained an invitation letter from the Shanghai Investment Promotion Bureau for you. With that invitation, your entry into Lan Kingdom will be much smoother. As for the rest, I'll see how things are arranged when I get back to the North. If it doesn't work out, we'll have to postpone our plans for the North for a year or two. We can't let others benefit from our efforts; I don't do business that loses money."
"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements. Once I've settled things here, I'll get started on my trip to Shanghai."
"No rush, let's focus on stability. I'll leave you a letter later. Go to Gong Huanzhi at the Investment Promotion Bureau in private. He's the director. Once he sees my letter, he'll do everything he can to make things easier for you and offer you preferential policies."
"good."
