Chapter 1213 The world is complex
Caitlin slept in Zhou Ming's bedroom that night. When she woke up the next morning, she remembered how she should go out. However, when Caitlin gritted her teeth and went out, she found that Su Han, Tangran and Karelina had not yet gotten up. Only Lin Muqing took care of the children in the living room. Seeing Caitlin and Zhou Ming coming out together, she didn't say anything, but told them that the breakfast was ready and that they could go to the kitchen to pick it up when they were hungry.
Zhou Ming and Caitlin didn't understand what was going on, but they didn't know how to ask, so they went to wash and have breakfast. It was almost ten o'clock that Su Han Tangran and Karelina walked out of the bedroom one after another, and they all looked in bad spirits.
Zhou Ming was very curious whether they didn’t sleep well last night? The jet lag has not yet fallen for such a long time? But Su Han doesn’t seem to have to stop falling for the jet lag.
Faced with Zhou Ming's doubts, the women were completely embarrassed and annoyed, and glared at Zhou Ming a few times, making Zhou Ming a little confused and didn't understand that he was just concerned about them asking them what was wrong, why was it like this?
Caitlin, who has always been smart, knew that she had done something bad this time, and she only cared about teasing her childhood and did not dare to say anything to Su Han and the others. Only Lin Muqing understood what was going on, but she had no intention of pointing it out at all.
However, the embarrassment under Zhou Ming's wall did not last long, and was soon broken by a sudden incident. As the time approached noon, Li Cheng's son Li Yunde suddenly visited the door and told Zhou Ming that Li Cheng hoped to hold a celebration party for the birth of Xiao Zhou Shixing.
Although Li Yunde's sudden visit relieved Zhou Ming from his previous embarrassment, Zhou Ming was still not interested in what he said.
"Celebrating your childhood, your father is just afraid it's interesting." Zhou Ming said, "It's not the first day we've met each other, just say anything directly."
Li Yunde felt a little embarrassed when facing Zhou Ming's direct words. He told Zhou Ming that this is really the case. They learned that Lin Muqing successfully gave birth to a mother and son safely, and they were all very happy for Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing, and they really wanted to celebrate for them. Li Cheng even went to Daxian Temple to pray for his childhood today.
Zhou Ming heard what Li Yunde said. It’s not that Zhou Ming thought Li Yunde was lying. Li Chengzhen might have done this, but Lin Muqing has been giving birth successfully for many days, and even been discharged from the hospital for several days. You, Li Chengcai, remembered to pray for blessings and hold a party? The delay of this news is a bit too high, right? Is the village just now open to the Internet?
Zhou Ming didn't think Li Cheng would not know the news. You should know that the hospital where Lin Muqing was staying had Li Cheng's investment.
Zhou Ming of course also understood what Li Cheng was like. There is no doubt that the situation in Hong Kong City was unstable before. He needed to stabilize his own industry first, and then the international short funds were fully withdrawn. He also needed to enter the market to acquire high-quality industries. Naturally, he was busy all kinds of things, and finally remembered his own side.
"Mr. Zhou Ming is really like this. I didn't lie to you!" Li Yunde explained to Zhou Ming. He was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Okay, I won't make things difficult for you." Zhou Ming said to him, "You go back and tell your father, and I'll receive your blessings for the young man, but there's no need for the party. You know that my sister Mu Qing just finished giving birth, and the young man is still so young, it's not suitable."
Li Yunde understood that Zhou Ming had already given him a step, so he did not bother him anymore and then said goodbye and left.
"Although this Li Cheng has become an open face now
The richest Chinese man, but his vision and decision are one level behind Zheng Haolong and Tong Gang," Caitlin commented on this.
In fact, after this incident, Zhou Ming was a little disliked the current merchants in the port city like Li Cheng.
It’s not that they don’t give face, they call themselves brothers on the surface, but their sons are not present at birth, but because during this financial crisis, these guys were obviously holding huge sums of money, but they all disappeared.
Of course, Zhou Ming understood what they were planning, and he was just betting on both ends and waiting for the result before taking action.
If the shorts win, then they will acquire high-quality assets sold by banks due to the collapse of the financial system at the end, and even merge several banks. If they win, they can still rely on the advantages of their funds to invest in the market and buy at the bottom and wait for appreciation. Anyway, they can make money no matter what the result is.
As businessmen, this kind of speculation is understandable, but they forgot the most fundamental question: what is it for betrayal?
You should know that if you lose, a large number of companies will go bankrupt and countless people will be unemployed. General Ridge will have thousands or tens of thousands of homeless beggars, and Causeway Bay will also have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of extra social idle people, which will breed more and more social problems in the future.
Of course, no matter how miserable the Hong Kong City is, it will not affect their delicacies and seafood. The more miserable the Hong Kong City, the more full the speculators like Li Cheng and others will eat, but this method is really disgusting.
This is like a village. When bandits come to rob, as a wealthy family in the village, you not only don’t help the village resist the bandits, but you are still waiting for the bandits to make the village mess up, and you can take the opportunity to pretend to be bandits and rob them. In this way, the village originally had a thousand gold, but the bandits might have stolen seven or eight hundred, but it seems that you have also received two or three hundred gold, but this is achieved by betraying the entire village.
Zhou Ming knew that this world was so dirty. Many wealthy capital oligarchs in the world got up like this. However, with their extremely selfish vision, Zhou Ming was really different from them and they were not willing to work together.
However, Zhou Ming said that he was different and did not make plans. However, when Li Yunde returned with Zhou Ming's attitude, Li Cheng and the others did not intend to give up. Li Cheng had even expected Zhou Ming's attitude.
"Oh! It seems that we have neglected it. Now that we remember to visit, it is no wonder that Mr. Zhou Ming is angry!" Li Cheng sighed.
At this time, there were several other wealthy families in the Hong Kong city at Li Cheng's house. When they heard Li Cheng's words, they all became nervous and asked Li Cheng what to do. Zhou Ming would not hold a grudge against them for this.
Li Cheng told them not to be so pessimistic: "Did you all know Zhou Ming on the first day? He is not such a petty person. He will not break off relations with us because of such a small matter. But this time our reaction is indeed a bit slow, and we need to show our sincerity."
So at Li Cheng's suggestion, they took the initiative to come to Lin Muqing's villa with gifts.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, we have too many things recently. This time we just got the news and rushed here immediately. The secretary who failed to inform the news in time has fired him. I promise that this will definitely not happen again in the future!"
A group of people facing each other at the door
Ming said, they were all heartbroken, as if they were all regretting that they were late for this period of time.
If there were reporters here, they would have been able to widen their eyes. They would definitely not believe that this group of the top wealthy families in the Port City were so pleased by someone here? But in Zhou Ming's opinion, this was not taken seriously. Zhou Ming knew very well that these guys were just acting.
After Li Yunde left in the morning, Zhou Ming knew that Li Cheng and the others would definitely come again, so Zhou Ming had already prepared. When Li Cheng and the others came, Zhou Ming greeted him at the door.
Although Zhou Ming knew that these guys would come back, seeing the piles of gifts they lifted out of the car, most of which were supplements for Lin Muqing and milk powder for Xiaoxing, Zhou Ming still sighed: I am afraid that Lin Muqing can use these things as food for food, and Xiaoxing can't finish eating them until they are weaned.
It was not until this time that Zhou Ming felt the role of his identity and status more deeply, because in his previous life, he was far from such treatment.
However, no matter how emotional he is, Zhou Ming still needs to do what he should do: "Brother Cheng, I appreciate your kindness. But Sister Mu Qing has just been discharged from the hospital now. She was still too young at a young age. It is not convenient for you to have so many people, so everyone just drinks tea in the yard. I have prepared a good Pu'er for everyone."
This is the "surprise" that Zhou Ming prepared for them. He would not let them go in and see the hours, so he would just drink tea in the yard.
After this incident, Zhou Ming did not look down on merchants like Li Cheng, but it did not mean that he would cut off his relationship with them and never interacted with each other. There was no need. After all, this world is not black or white. Merchants like Li Cheng and others had limited vision, but as partners of Hong Kong City, they were still good. As local snakes in Hongcheng, they were really hard to do if they lacked many of their own businesses.
Besides, there is a more important point. Businessmen are pursuing profits. People with long-term vision like Zheng Haolong and Tong Gang are rare. Most of them are still the same as Li Cheng and others. Many are even worse than them. If they recognize one and give up on one, and then cut off their relationship and never interact with each other, then they may not be left with a few people who can cooperate.
This world is complicated. Zhou Ming knows that if he wants to integrate into this world, he still has to get along with these people well.
But similarly, Zhou Ming can get along with him, but at the same time, Zhou Ming also has to show his attitude. It is precisely for this reason that Zhou Ming deliberately left them outside, just to show that he was angry.
Li Cheng is so smart. When they see Zhou Ming's arrangements, they immediately realized that Zhou Ming was angry. They either explained that they were really busy during this period; or they said that they would definitely support Lin Muqing and Gangcheng Joint Investment Fund in the future, and they would also need additional investment. Some people also praised Zhou Shixing for his good name and praised Zhou Ming for his very cultural level.
Zhou Ming also said to them: "Of course I understand that all the old guys have their own careers. And after Sister Mu Qing successfully gave birth, I didn't make any public news, which was not too troublesome. But I didn't expect that all the old guys would know and come to see him so enthusiastically, which made me feel embarrassed."
Zhou Ming then said, "But it doesn't matter. We will have a long time to cooperate in the future. Everyone can watch the president grow up when they are young!"
After hearing what Zhou Ming said, talents like Li Cheng all breathed a sigh of relief.
