The temperature in Magic City has gradually risen in late May, and it was a little hot at noon.
Tan Qin was finishing a social event in a private room of the Peace Hotel. After receiving a call from Jing Gao, he went to the car surrounded by assistants and bodyguards, thinking slightly.
In fact, when domestic wealthy people go out, they don’t have a dozen people cheering each other like the domineering CEOs in Korean dramas. But there will never be a shortage of assistants and bodyguards around him.
Now in 2018, it doesn’t have to be the same as before. The domestic security is still very good. This is actually mainly due to economic development and the popularity of Sky Eye cameras. Therefore, the rich do not have to worry about troubles such as kidnapping.
But now with the rise of self-media and Internet celebrities. Many people may not have the intention of physically harming the rich and famous, but it is common for them to flirt with each other and take photos of them. There are pictures circulating on the Internet of Ma Yun and Big Lao Wang being photographed.
After pondering all the way, Tan Qin sat in his Mercedes-Benz, thought for a while, and directly dialed the number of Tang Kejin, the Chinese business leader in France.
In fact, for ordinary people, when they suddenly call a big boss, they may wonder if it is inconvenient for the other party to answer the call. But for people of equal status, for businessmen, time is money.
When something happens, calling directly is the most correct choice.
"Uncle Tang, are you busy?" Tan Qin smiled and exchanged greetings. Just call me directly, you can't miss any favors and courtesy! Therefore, people who are good at communication usually have a skill.
The "Uncle Tang" in Tan Qin's mouth is Tang Kejin.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the land of China was sinking and the world was in turmoil. Many wealthy families seek refuge in Hong Kong Island and overseas. Since the reform, these capitals have returned to the country to invest and enjoy the dividends of the reform.
Therefore, under the background of the past few decades, many people and families are actually related. Most of them know each other. It's just different in different circles. During the ceremony, people from Hongmen even climbed the tower.
Tan Qin was originally a child of an aristocratic family, but his parents passed away early, but under the care of his uncles, he had no shortage of glory and wealth in his life. Therefore, there is actually overlap with Chinese businessmen like Tang Kejin who came to invest.
Of course, the friendship cannot be very deep. When it was reformed in the early years, foreign capital received super-national treatment. Tang Kejin had the capital, so he couldn't say he wanted to curry favor with Tan Qin. It's just acquaintance and friendship between juniors. However, as time goes by, the super-national treatment of foreign investment in many fields is slowly being cancelled. Some connections are strengthened just a little bit more.
In fact, these are just the context of the interpersonal network. For businessmen, as long as there is benefit, we are good friends!
On the phone, Tang Kejin said with a smile: "I just finished dinner and am digesting." After saying that, he remained silent.
Tan Qin smiled and explained the purpose of his visit: "Uncle Tang, it's like this. Jing from Zhaoshi Group is always my friend. He hopes to pay you a visit in the near future."
Tang Keyin thought about it for a moment and did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked: "My dear nephew, it seems that I have never heard of Mr. Jing in the past. Whose son is he?"
Tan Qin said: "Hi! Uncle Tang, Mr. Jing has no background at all! When he first emerged in the first half of 2016, many people suspected that he was a white glove employee of a foreign-funded consortium. Now this rumor has not been confirmed.
However, his Phoenix Group has a large number of industrial and high-tech investments in the country and follows rules in doing things. Uber was listed on Hong Kong Island, and those who invested basically received very generous returns.
Therefore, no one is going to delve into his details now. The above meaning is: as long as they are patriotic businessmen, they will be treated equally. "
Tang Kejin said doubtfully: "Isn't that right, nephew? I heard that he is now prohibited from engaging in the financial industry in China. The Bank of East Asia, which was originally a big bank in Hong Kong Island, suddenly declined."
Tan Qin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In other words, Jing Gao was banned from entering the financial industry. On the surface, it was because Jing Gao's financial company violated the regulations, and the relevant departments imposed prescribed penalties to scare the monkeys.
However, there are many hidden secrets here!
On the first level, in December last year, there was a sudden conflict between Jing Gao and Zhou Mingyang. Both parties even invested media resources. Trolls were rampant on the Internet, and all of them were crazy about Heiliu Feifei or Zhou Shiqing.
Zhou Shiqing is the sister of brothers Zhou Mingyang and Zhou Mingjian. She is the adopted daughter picked up by their father. She is registered in the Zhou family's household registration book. Although she is not related by blood, she is a brother and sister.
As for Liu Feifei, the former sister of Hu Zhi Media, she was a former first-line actress and a big star. After she switched to Phoenix Entertainment under Jing Gao's name, there were rumors in the entertainment industry that she was Jing Gao's forbidden love. It is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist!
Considering Jing Gao's reputation as a romantic and lustful person outside, this rumor is really no problem.
Then, when the two sides were in fierce conflict, Zhou Mingyang went to the capital in person to apologize to Jing Gao. and make compensation.
It was at this moment that the Yang family suddenly fell.
The second level of insider information was that at that time, many people speculated that Jing Gao had a hand in the downfall of the Yang family. Zhou Mingyang and Ma Yun both reported some of the situation above.
So the days before the Lunar New Year a few months ago were particularly difficult for Jing Gao. They are all under border control and their situation is restricted. However, he finally came through and passed the danger.
The landmark event was that Jing Gao was banned from entering the financial industry.
Therefore, this punishment is really not too severe for what Jing Gao did, so it is called "passing through danger".
Why is this so? He had heard some rumors. In short, Jing Gao stayed in the Magic City during that time. The Phoenix Group has invested heavily in Magic City.
"Uncle Tang, the matter is over. Mr. Jing quietly donates money to official charities every year. Youth Foundation, China General Association, etc. Then, this year, it is said that Phoenix Entertainment has produced about ten movies and TV series about resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. , all are green lights all the way. You know."
Of course Tan Qin would not tell Tang Kejin the real reason. The things and calculations involved are too complicated. He knew that Ren He had personally tested Jing Gao, but he still couldn't tell whether it was Jing Gao who caused the Yang family's collapse!
So, he fooled around with a reason: charity.
And saying that a well is high enough to pass the test is not just a matter of words, it depends on the situation. As for Phoenix Entertainment under Jing Gao, as the largest entertainment company in the country, some of its projects are of great significance as a benchmark.
Tang Keyin understood, pondered for two seconds, and said, "Well, let's do this. I will welcome Mr. Jing at home at noon the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I will definitely convey it to you."
Tan Qin hung up the phone, waited for a moment, reviewed the conversation between him and Tang Kejin, thought about it again, and then dialed Jing Gao's number.
This is his habit.
He can eat well in the surrounding areas of the magic city and is famous. It depends on being well-rounded and sincere in making friends, not saying the wrong thing, and having a tight mouth. And to do this, you have to keep thinking.
As the saying goes: I examine myself three times a day. Are you being disloyal to others? Make friends but don’t believe it? Are you not used to it?
