The venue is large, with meeting areas and rest areas, and many places are separated by screens. So that people can chat about private topics. So Xiao Zheng couldn't tell how many people came to the venue. But without exception, everyone I met was a well-known figure in the Chinese business world.
First there is the Wall Street tycoon Kalida and the extremely mysterious Dongzang. Then, he met the business tycoon second only to Lin Laoyao, Shang Jingtian.
The emergence of Shang Jingtian caused quite a stir. In particular, some businessmen who had business dealings with him greeted him with smiles.
Ye Zanghua glanced sideways at Xiao Zheng: "Why don't you come over and say hello?"
"That's not necessary." Xiao Zheng smiled lightly. But there was some drumming in my heart.
Didn't Shang Yao say he would arrive early? Why did she refuse to show up even when Shang Jingtian arrived
Moreover, Xiao Zheng was not sure what the purpose of Shang Jingtian's appearance was.
"Usually, what are the purposes of the older generation's appearance?" Xiao Zheng picked up a glass of red wine and clinked glasses with Ye Zanghua in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Both." Although Ye Zanghua has never attended the highest-level business dinner. But after all, I am someone who has been here and heard a lot. It's not like Xiao Zheng's eyes darkened and he was completely blind.
"Look at that one." Ye Zanghua said. "Song Ke. He is very successful in traditional real estate. In the first ten years alone, he has accumulated a net worth of tens of billions. But he is getting older. This year he seems to be 30 to 60. I got the invitation this time. I guess I am just bringing the younger generation to see it. . Try to accumulate some connections and lay the foundation for the second generation.”
The attendees of this dinner started with tens of billions. Just by numbers, it is absolutely top level. If left outside, Song Ke would probably be spoiled for choice wherever he went. But here, he is just an old man with his taillights off. It cannot influence the overall situation.
"There are those who bring juniors to see the world. There are also dark horse competitors like you. Of course, there are also people like me who join in the fun. Everyone has their own thoughts and cannot be generalized." Ye Zanghua took a sip of red wine and looked at each other. Diversion. "Are you also curious? What is Shang Jingtian doing here?"
Xiao Zheng nodded: "Shang Yao is absolutely competitive. And she has already taken charge of the Yan family. Among the younger generation, she and Bai Wushuang are the most confident."
"I understand what you mean." Ye Zanghua smiled and shook his head. "Let me give you an analogy. For example, if my sister did not escape into Buddhism back then, she would definitely be the absolute protagonist of this dinner. But the old man would definitely not show up. Why? To avoid suspicion. The appearance should not be too ugly. It is the same as in politics. One idea. You have the upper hand this time. You definitely cannot place your direct descendants as candidates. At least you have to wait a little longer and fight for another term. This is called political compromise. It is also a kind of balance. Otherwise, we will return to the era of the world. It's not conducive to healthy growth. There are not so many rules in shopping malls. But the basic rules must be followed. Just like your Xinao, you must have a vice president at the same level to check and balance you. I, Dawai, am the ruler. You are the only one in the second echelon. Then it becomes a matter of opinion. No one dares to raise an opinion. Think about it. Is this healthy for a company? Is it reasonable? The reason why the feudal dynasty cannot survive today is because of the The times are in conflict. It cannot adapt to the existing social environment. A company wants to be international and keep rising. It cannot be family-oriented. Saints also make mistakes, let alone ordinary people. If you are in a high position, one mistake may cause you to fall to pieces. So whether it’s your ENN, or the business empires of Lin’s and Shang Jingtian. The higher you climb, the less you dare to be high-spirited and walk on thin ice.”
There is a lot of truth in Ye Zanghua's words. In the past, Xiao Zheng might have had to think about it for a while. But now he has opened his eyes and has a pattern. After a little stroking, it became smoother.
But just because it went smoothly. His mood became more and more complicated.
"Shang Yao will attend tonight. Representing the Yan family." Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, playing with the taste. "Listening to what you said, it is unlikely that Shang Jingtian is here to help his daughter."
"Haven't you heard of it?" Ye Zanghua said with a half-smile. "Ever since Shang Yao took charge of the Yan family, there has been a gap between Shang Jingtian and Shang Jingtian?"
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I heard the news." He paused and said helplessly. "But they are father and daughter after all."
"The old man has also hated my sister for half his life." Ye Zanghua's words are intriguing. "Your father-in-law, don't you care about your wife's life or death now?"
Speaking of this, Ye Zanghua's voice turned cold. His eyes became gloomy.
In Ye Mansion. Lao Lin is a well-deserved little princess. Don’t say thirty, even forty or fifty. Still so.
It was too late for Ye Zanghua to feel distressed, so how dare Lin Laoyao say such arrogant words
Ye Zanghua's attitude may not completely represent Ye Gongguan. But if the granddaughter is being embarrassed, how can a grandfather not be angry
The estrangement between wealthy families is as normal as the quarrels between ordinary people. There are thousands of reasons. Some of them can be laughed away, while others may not end until death.
Xiao Zheng didn't know how big the dispute was between Shang Yao and Shang Jingtian. Or maybe it's just a disagreement. But no matter what, he was basically sure that Shang Jingtian was here this time. It's definitely not to help my daughter.
"The merchant and the Yan family. Are they really separated?" Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured.
"Yan Shichang supported his daughter and Yan Dengkui in fighting for inheritance rights. And he spent so much effort to train Shang Yao. Why do you think?" Ye Zanghua asked.
"Because" Xiao Zheng was slightly startled, then said in relief. "Shang Jingtian is in his prime. And his position is high enough. Give him ten years, and he may not be able to turn the tide. With the help of the Yan family, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."
"What a pity." Ye Zanghua gloated. "A merchant is a merchant. The Yan family is the Yan family. The father and daughter may have their own plans. Who is willing to make wedding clothes for each other? Especially Shang Yao, this girl is very ambitious. I am afraid she is not willing to be controlled by Shang Jingtian , be a puppet on a string, right?"
"So the conflict arises," Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said.
"It's really lively." Ye Zanghua saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. "This dinner party hasn't even started yet, and it's already so exciting."
Xiao Zheng smiled, slowly picked up the wine glass, and toasted to Shang Jingtian across the air. Then the two of them stepped forward, heading towards the same place.
Ye Zanghua hesitated for a while, and finally followed Xiao Zheng to greet him.
Just watch the excitement. But as Ye Zanghua came with political purposes. We must take action when necessary. As an elder, he would not challenge Kalida and Dongzang. But the meeting between Xiao Zheng and Shang Jingtian had a reason to accompany them.
It doesn't matter whether it's to help Xiao Zheng or to tie up interests. Ye Zanghua cannot retreat.
What's more, when Shang Jingtian comes here, who can guarantee that he is not helping other juniors
If your descendants fail to live up to expectations and have nowhere to use their power, they naturally have to bundle their interests and choose competitive partners. In terms of family ties, Ye Zanghua has reason to support Xiao Zheng. In terms of interests, Ye Zanghua can also put his chips on Xiao Zheng. Do not conflict.
