Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiang said with even less interest:
"I'm not even interested in a formal banquet. I'm generally not interested in this kind of social event. You can just participate as the CEO."
Li Xia said:
"The main reason is that the other party plans to negotiate a long-term subscription contract with us, which is about 30 billion per year. Their founder has also arrived in person. I think you might as well meet them."
Xiao Jiang thought for a while and said:
"Since you think it's time to meet, let's meet. My next step is to build a water-hydrogen industrial zone and an engine factory. I really don't want to pay attention to these small things."
On the other side of the phone, Li Xia choked on Xiao Jiang's words. Xiao Jiang regarded tens of billions of orders every year as a trivial matter. Even the largest company in the world would not dare to say that, but he knew that Xiao Jiang's goal was far from making money, otherwise With the company's potential strength, money is really not a problem.
Li Xia had no choice but to say to Xiao Jiang:
"Go to the banquet hall on the top floor of Dongxiang Restaurant at six o'clock in the evening. I will wait for the boss downstairs."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Jiang saw that there was still more than half an hour left. He scratched his head and thought for a moment and said:
"Xiao Hong, you don't need to dress up to attend a banquet, right?"
Xiao Hong projected that for this kind of banquet, no one had any suits and leather shoes. As this is a special type of banquet, overdressing would be boycotted.
Xiao Jiang looked around after reading it. He used to have suits in the travel company, but he hasn't worn them since he lost his job. As for other clothes, it's a bit cold at night in the crisp autumn weather, and it's impossible for him to wear a leather jacket from Fengyun World and a jacket from Galaxy World. After thinking about it, he found an ordinary jacket, a pair of jeans and sneakers. Looking at himself in the mirror, Xiao Jiang walked out with satisfaction.
This is a small county town. General Xiao Jiang lives in the old town. It is only about ten minutes away from Dongxiang Restaurant. On the street, Xiao Jiang is no different from other passers-by. Other men will pay attention to beautiful women on the street out of the corner of their eyes, and he will also take a look at them. A few glances, according to the brothers back then, was just an eye-sore.
Xiao Jiang has eaten at Dongxiang Restaurant several times. He can only say that the food here is average. It is much better than another restaurant called Yinfeng. This restaurant is next to the main road around the city. Although it is not It's a big restaurant but it's still a famous place in the local area.
"Yao Mei, look, it's that man. Someone actually introduced him to you. He probably doesn't know how much he has."
A very low voice came from far away. Xiao Jiang looked towards the door of the restaurant more than 20 meters away. The men and women who were watching people were surrounding a tall beauty. If I were to judge, she was wearing light makeup. Over eighty, she is definitely considered a beauty in this small county.
The woman happened to be looking at Xiao Jiang. She glanced at Xiao Jiang and turned back as if she hadn't looked at Xiao Jiang. Then she said to the fat woman who was speaking:
"Cousin, don't say that. They are all from the countryside. Everyone is working hard in the city. Who knows when others will become rich."
The fat woman sneered and said:
"He's a chain smoker and smokes mountain smoke as long as his thumb. His house is in a bad location and he doesn't have a good car. If I hadn't heard that his family had a pig farm, I wouldn't have allowed your parents to come visit him."
The woman smiled bitterly and did not answer the fat woman's words, because Xiao Jiang had already walked closer. When he saw that the distance was less than five meters, Li Xia, who had been waiting at the door, came over with a smile on his face and shouted:
"Boss, you're finally here. Mr. Zhao and the others were supposed to come to greet you. I told them that if you don't like it, forget it. Let's go up quickly. The banquet is about to start."
Xiao Jiang nodded and walked into the hotel door with Li Xia. The fat woman said with an inexplicable smile:
"There are too many people in this society who run a small business with style and have subordinates to greet them."
The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Xia's back and said:
"I think I've seen the person who picked up Xiao Jiang. He often appears in major news media during this period. He seems to be our local company boss. What is his name?"
"Li Xia, the executive president of Jinglei Industrial, Jinglei Special Metals Company and Jinglei Electronics are said to have received orders of more than 200 billion, and the company's valuation is increasing every day. It is said that this is a company invested by one person, which means he The boss may be the richest man in the country next year.”
A crisp voice came out from the group of people. The fat woman and the girl couldn't help but look at a girl with a ponytail wearing glasses. The woman's eyes lit up, she hugged the girl with a ponytail and said with a smile:
"Qianqian, you know a lot. You said that the person who picked up Xiao Jiang just now was the CEO of Jinglei Industry, and he was called Boss Xiao Jiang. Could it be that Xiao Jiang is not the richest man in the country as you said?"
The ponytail girl chuckled and said:
"Auntie, you are working in a company, haven't you read the news? Xiao Jiang is the sole owner of Jinglei Industrial, and the first capital is 10 billion, so you are right. The old smoker the fourth aunt mentioned is the boss of Jinglei Industrial. He almost was my uncle, but now he was ruined."
The woman was in a daze, and the fat woman opened her mouth wide. After a while, she shook her head and said:
"Qianqian is nonsense, haven't you seen what the super rich look like in the movies? They go out in mansions, luxury cars, swarms of bodyguards, and beautiful female assistants. They wear custom-made clothes and have big cigars in their mouths... er, cigars... it seems like him The smoke doesn't look like mountain smoke, could it be..."
The ponytail girl giggled and said:
"No matter what it is, you have already vetoed it, so there is no chance of anything. Let's go in for dinner. There seems to be some luxurious banquet upstairs. I guess they are going there. Let's go, let's go..."
The hearty voice of the ponytail girl made the beautiful woman smile. She nodded and said:
"Yes, the so-called marriage is all about fate. No matter who he is, if there is no fate, there will be no fate. Let's go in..."
…
Xiao Jiang didn't think anything about the little commotion downstairs. When he got upstairs, he went directly to a small conference room and chatted with a few special people. He was interested in the company's plan to build a mobile phone production line in the small county town. I do support it.
As the location of the world's top wafer production lines and chip production lines, everyone knows the principle of first-come-first-serve access to the waterfront. There is already a high-speed rail in the area, so external transportation is no problem. Therefore, being more remote here will not have a negative impact on the other company, but can actually improve it. local economic development.
As for the other party's desire to meet the chips they need, Xiao Jiang asked Li Xia to talk to them. In theory, Xiao Jiang could meet the demand even if the demand increased tenfold. If it were not for the purpose of avoiding monopoly development, he could even completely destroy the global chip industry.
The banquet after the meeting was really simple. They listened to a lot of speeches and high-profile remarks, and then they just ate, drank, and talked to each other. People from relevant local companies and institutions were chatting. As for whether the conversation was fruitful or not, it all depended on their own abilities.
