Rebirth of the Genius Charlatan

Chapter 95: Christmas ball!

Views:

Invitations to Huaxia's Christmas Ball were sent out two months ago, inviting celebrities from all walks of life in the province, and some prominent figures in the country were also invited. Shu Qi Tao Tao

Tonight, celebrities gathered, and the media came to the door of Wanghaifeng Hotel early. Tonight's dance is not open to the media. Media interviews will not be arranged until the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the inauguration of Huaxia Auction Company the next day. Therefore, many media were not allowed to enter the hotel tonight and had to gather at the door.

Luxury cars parked in front of the hotel one after another, and all the people who got out were respectable people.

The always sharp-eyed media soon discovered that there were many heavyweights in it - Yan Longyuan, general manager of Anqin International Group, Miao Chenghong, chairman of Rongcheng Jade Group, Hu Guangjin, chairman of Ruihai Group, Xiong Huaixing, general manager of Qingqi Automobile Group, Cao Li, Chairman of Jinda Real Estate!

In addition to what these people thought, Yang Qi, assistant to the chairman of Hong Kong Jiahui International Group, was also going to attend!

Jiahui Group is making headlines in major media these days! After acquiring the shares of Shengxing Group, he has now become the head of Shengxing Group!

Jiahui Group did not accept interviews from the media about this matter. What was Mr. Li’s intention and why he suddenly entered the antique industry? Many people were confused. Many people wanted to figure it out. As soon as they saw Yang Qi at the door of the hotel today, the media The reporters naturally swarmed us!

The scene was so lively that those who didn't know it thought the organizer of the dance party was here.

Yang Qi politely declined the interview and entered the hotel. The security guards stopped the reporters who came to ask questions, but the celebrities who got off the car looked at each other and followed in one after another.

As soon as Yang Qi entered the hotel, three black business Mercedes-Benz drove up. Reporters were blocking the door of the hotel and looking inside, some holding cameras and flashing lights frequently inside. As soon as these three cars drove over, everyone couldn't help but turn around. Look who's here this time.

These three cars belong to the Huaxia Group. Getting out of the cars were Fu Ruixiang's general manager Chen Manguan, manager Ma Xianrong, and Huaxia Auction Company general manager Sun Changde.

Three people came in a car. When the reporters saw that it was these three people, they naturally swarmed around them, taking pictures and asking questions. The flashlights were flashing. Questions were endless, all of which revolved around Shengxing Group. thing.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that Hong Kong Jiahui International Group has acquired the equity of Shengxing Group, and Mr. Li intends to enter the antiques industry. Does this put a lot of pressure on you, Fu Ruixiang?"

"When Shengxing Group's share price plummeted, why didn't Huaxia Group acquire Shengxing's shares? Was it because of insufficient funds as rumored by the outside world?"

"Now that Jiahui Group has come in, does China regret that it didn't take any action?"

"Excuse me, what do you think of Mr. Xia on this... Huh? Where is Mr. Xia?"

After asking a lot of questions, someone discovered that there were only three people getting out of the car, and there was no sign of Xia Shao, the chairman of Huaxia Group.

The relatively powerful media had all been invited to Dongshi. They had all seen Xia Shao and couldn't help but look in the car. At first, some people thought there were too many reporters outside, so Xia Shao sat in the car to avoid them and did not come out immediately. Unexpectedly, the three cars drove directly to the parking lot next to them. Except for the driver, there was no one in the car.

Where are people

This is the Christmas party of Huaxia Group. The chairman can’t be there, right

What about... people

People have already arrived.

While many media reporters gathered around Yang Qi and Chen Manguan to take photos and ask questions, a car drove from another road to the side entrance of Wanghaifeng Hotel, and Xia Shao entered the hotel through the side entrance.

The three girls in the dormitory and Yuan Ze were naturally here tonight, but they all said that they wanted to wear formal clothes and that tonight must be grand. So as soon as school was over, everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers. Hu Jiayi and Liu Xianxian were picked up by Hu Guangjin's car and came with Hu Guangjin and his wife in the evening. Miao Yan was picked up by her father Miao Chenghong and also arrived with her father. Even Yuan Ze said that he should wear formal clothes on such occasions to express his congratulations to Xia Shao, so he went back to his home in Qingshi after school, saying that he would come in the family car then.

In this case, Xia Shao came to the hotel alone.

The reason why she avoided media reporters was simply because she felt that it was meaningless to be interviewed today. She will naturally arrange time for an interview at the company's official opening ceremony tomorrow. As for the questions asked by the media tonight, let alone tomorrow, they will have to be changed when the dance is over!

Tonight is bound to be a shock to the business community!

Xia Shao entered the hotel with a smile. Her dress had been delivered to the opened room. She went in and changed her clothes. After tidying up, she took the elevator downstairs.

The dance was arranged on the fifth floor. When Xia Shao arrived, most of the people were already there.

It was already dark, and in the hall, there were two rows of floor-to-ceiling windows with a broad view. Behind you was the ocean tide, and in front of you was the bustling night scene on the Economic and Trade Road. There is a large crystal lamp above the head, a golden red carpet is rolled out under the feet, the sofa leisure area and the podium have been decorated, and some Christmas decorations are even decorated to suit the Christmas scene. The music was soft, and the waiters carried trays among the chattering crowd, allowing the men and women in costumes to fetch the champagne and red wine at will. The scene was grand.

Xia Shao appeared alone outside the ball hall. Seeing this scene, she smiled.

The men and women who were chatting in the hall, and those who happened to look at the door, couldn't help but be stunned. At first, there were just a few people. Later, when they saw these people staring blankly at the door, some people started to look along.

Gradually, the ball hall became quiet.

The men and women who came in costumes looked at the door one after another. Accompanied by the soft music in the ball, it seemed as if they had traveled through more than half a century with the lights and entered the Republic of China era.

The girl standing at the door was wearing a simple and elegant long half-sleeved cheongsam, a nostalgic tea color, with slightly darker leaflets falling on her body. Such graceful and natural flowers come from time and space in a trance, with a faint scent of agarwood, elegant and tranquil.

The girl's hair is lightly tied, with a small fox hairpin with yellowish white jade, half-sleeved cheongsam, half-exposed arms like snow lotus root, wearing a pair of jasper round bracelets on her wrists, standing there demurely, with a dense classical look. implicit.

Such a light color seems a bit plain in such an occasion. But she happened to be wearing a black peony shawl on her shoulders. Large peony flowers bloomed and wrapped around her shoulders, adding a bit of solemnity to her elegance. Moreover, such a strong contrast between elegance and beauty not only pierces people's eyes, but also pierces the hearts of many people.

Cao Li, chairman of Jinda Real Estate, stood in the crowd, turned his head and looked at the door, and was stunned for a moment.

Some people recognized Xia Shao.

Although most of the people who came tonight have never seen Xia Shao, after all, she showed up in Hu Guangjin's villa at the beginning of the month and caused such a big fuss. Those who attended the birthday party that day will naturally She was also present, so she was recognized.

"Ouch! Mr. Xia!" Everyone said one after another.

Everyone who heard this title was shocked!

Mr. Xia

hiss! Is this the chairman of Huaxia Group? What a beauty!

Moreover, although I already knew that she was very young from hearing rumors, I knew that I was shocked when I first heard about it. But when we saw him face to face tonight, the shock was beyond what the rumors could compare to!

This is too young! At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was at the right age for youth, and he was younger than the children of some of the bosses present, but he had already become the organizer of this Christmas ball, entertaining all parties as the host, and being on an equal footing with everyone present.

Sometimes, seeing it with your own eyes is more shocking than hearsay. At least at this moment, many people were stunned when they heard that the girl who stunned everyone was the chairman of Huaxia Group.

At this time, Chen Manguan, Sun Changde and Ma Xianrong had already walked over to greet them with smiles.

Sun Changde said: "Mr. Xia, most of the guests have arrived. In half an hour, the dance will start."

Xia Shao nodded after hearing this, glanced at the stunned crowd in the dance hall, and followed the three of them in.

As soon as she walked in, everyone reacted.

Xiong Huaixing was the first to speak up and came over with a big laugh: "Mr.

Xia Shao smiled and looked up to see Hu Guangjin and his wife coming over with Hu Jiayi and Liu Xianxian. Miao Chenghong also came with Miao Yan. Yuan Ze also walked out of the crowd, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and smiled and nodded at her.

Seeing several friends coming over, Xia Shao simply said with them: "I may be very busy tonight and don't have time to take care of you. There is a leisure area over there with self-service snacks. When you are tired, just go and sit there. Don’t drink too much.”

Several friends laughed, and Liu Xianxian waved her hands irritably, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law! You have so much control! Let's drink and drink. You don't need to be distracted. Tonight is your home court. Don't mess it up. Make the atmosphere cheerful. !”

Hu Jiayi and Yuan Ze smiled and nodded, while Miao Yan looked at the cheongsam Xia Shao was wearing with amazement and envy, and whispered: "Come on!"

She already knew that Xia Shao was going to help her seal the yin and yang eyes, so she was naturally looking forward to it. Although she had heard from her father that those things were not easy to find, she had been waiting for them for more than ten years since she was a child and was not afraid to wait any longer.

"When you get better, you will slowly recover. When the time comes, you will gradually become mellower. You can wear these clothes as you like." Xia Shao noticed Miao Yan's gaze and encouraged her with a smile.

The girl immediately nodded expectantly, her cheeks slightly pink with excitement.

It was rare to see his daughter looking so happy. Miao Chenghong felt sad and happy at the same time. Naturally, he looked at Xia Shao with gratitude in his eyes. But it also has a strange meaning that can't be explained.

Miao Chenghong looked at Xia Shao with a strange look, either because of something else or because of the Shengxing Group.

He remembered that she told him twice that in the confrontation between Huaxia Group and Shengxing Group, the initiative lay with Huaxia. But what's the result? Shengxing now belongs to Hong Kong Jiahui International Group! What is going on? He had seen Shengxing's stock price falling and thought she would take advantage of the situation. In order to prevent Wang Daolin from being released on bail and help the company turn the tide, he now went to the police station to report the case so that he could not be released on bail. She thought she would know how to take advantage of this great opportunity, but why... it ended up like this

It would be reasonable to say that the Jiahui Group had stepped in and Huaxia was unable to match the strength and funds and ultimately lost. But Huaxia didn't even acquire Shengxing's shares! If you don't even take action, how can you take the initiative

Even if she acquires a small share of Shengxing, she can't compete with a group as big as Jiahui in the end, and she can still make a fortune by selling the shares to Jiahui. Why do nothing

Miao Chenghong has been in the mall for most of his life, and this is the first time that he can't see through it. This girl looks confident, but why doesn't she make any moves? Even now, she looked calm and calm, with no hint of embarrassment or frustration. It was rare that a group as big as Shengxing had such a serious problem this time. She didn't seize the opportunity at all. Wasn't she a little disappointed

Or is it that the calmness and calmness at this moment are all her disguise

Miao Chenghong shook his head, sighed inwardly, and then smiled. Perhaps there is simply insufficient turnover. If several generals within the group object, it will be difficult for her to achieve it alone. Forget it, at her age, it is not easy to found China. The business war may be a little too early for her. No matter what, Huaxia is still Huaxia tonight, and even without her skill in the business war with Shengxing, this girl still deserves congratulations.

Miao Chenghong's strange thing was shared by many people present, but they also thought the same thing as Miao Chenghong - even if she did nothing, she was still the chairman of Huaxia and still deserved congratulations.

The first person to come was Cao Li, the chairman of Jinda. Cao Li is the brother-in-law of Yang Hongxuan, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. He has an extraordinary status and a rich family. He has always been a wealthy and powerful person in the province, and he is always favored by others wherever he goes.

Cao Li was wearing a black tuxedo, holding a red wine glass, and walked up to Xia Shao with a smile. The amazement and admiration in his eyes were not restrained, and seemed a bit explicit. He praised him like a gentleman: "I heard that Mr. Xia is in his prime, I didn't expect that tonight Only when you see him do you know what it means to be stunning. Mr. Xia’s extraordinary temperament and graceful beauty are truly the only ones I, Cao Li, have ever seen in my life. It can be said that I fell in love with him at first sight.”

His clear praise caused many people around him to secretly glance at each other. Hu Guangjin, his wife and Xiong Huaixing, who were close by, frowned slightly.

They have all been here before, and the way Mr. Cao looks at Mr. Xia is a bit...

Shouldn't this be because you have a crush on Mr. Xia

Yo! That's not good. Although Mr. Cao has a higher status than most people present, he is not a good person. This person's style in the shopping mall is like that of a ruffian, and he also has a lot of gossip.

It would be fine if he were just an ordinary business boss, but Secretary Yang of the Provincial Party Committee was his brother-in-law. If he falls in love with Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia will not mess with him.

Xia Shao looked at Cao Li, nodded and smiled lightly. She naturally knows some of Cao Li's reputation, not to mention the rumors. The corners of his lips are slightly crooked when he smiles, with a scornful air, and his face is even more frowning, which shows that he is not a good person. human life.

When she saw the other person reaching out, she naturally smiled and shook hands with him politely. But when the other party shook hands, he gently rubbed the pads of his thumbs in her palms, which was obviously teasing.

No one on the side could see this action. Xia Shao's expression remained normal, she smiled and retracted her hand. But when Cao Li held her hand, his heart moved slightly. The girl's skin was extremely soft, tender and moist. He had never encountered such a touch from any woman before. Although their hands were loosened, he couldn't help but look at Xia Shao's face. At first glance, one can't help but be amazed again. The girl put on light makeup, but no makeup was applied on her face. Her skin was as jade-like as porcelain, and not even the smallest pores could be seen. Not only that, but I don’t know if it’s a problem with the lighting in the hall or something else, but it looks like there’s a hint of pearlescent light.

Cao Li had a look of surprise in his eyes, but Xia Shao pretended to be invisible and smiled and shook hands with Yan Longyuan who came to greet him.

Yan Longyuan came from a gangster background and smiled with a bit of majesty, but his words seemed to have other meanings, "Mr. I bring you a message to congratulate Huaxia Group on settling in Qingshi."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a roar around him, and Cao Li was also stunned and looked at Xia Shao.

Does she know the head of the Anqin Family Association

Everyone present was surprised, even Hu Guangjin and his wife, Xiong Huaixing and Miao Chenghong were shocked! Especially Hu Guangjin and his wife and Xiong Huaixing—she knows the major general commander of the provincial military region, but she actually also knows the head of the Anqin Association

The wedding reception is the leader of the northern underworld! Its assets in Baidaoshang are no less than those of Hong Kong Jiahui Group!

Xia Shao smiled knowingly. Yan Longyuan saw that Cao Li had evil intentions towards him and said this to calm him down. She took a deep look at Yan Longyuan, who nodded slightly to her.

At this time, Sun Changde looked at the situation of the ball, called the waiter and asked, and then whispered to Xia Shao: "Mr. Xia, it's time. The guests are all here. You can go up and give a speech."

Xia Shao nodded slightly after hearing this. When everyone saw her walking towards the stage, they all moved out of the way. Shang looked at her gracefully walking onto the stage with the same surprised and uncertain eyes just now.

Chen Manguan, Sun Changde and Ma Xianrong also stood on the stage and stood behind Xia Shao. The three of them looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes and a hint of excitement.

There were two to three hundred people attending the Christmas ball today. Everyone in the hall gathered together and looked up at the girl on the stage.

She stood under such a gaze without any stage fright, like a battle-hardened veteran with a natural bearing.

"Everyone, thank you for attending the inauguration ball of our Huaxia Group in Qingshi tonight. Huaxia Group is still very young. It can reach today. I need to thank Mr. Chen, Mr. Sun and Mr. Ma behind me. While I am busy with my studies , can help me support this family business. The three of them are indispensable for Huaxia Group's stable development today. I take this opportunity to thank them, and also thank all the seniors for attending the congratulations. I hope that in the future shopping malls, all seniors can Please give Huaxia Group some guidance and bear with me."

Although such an opening statement was a humble remark, Xia Shao spoke sincerely, which made the three generals behind him feel a little embarrassed. Especially Ma Xianrong, he followed Xia Shao after she came to Qingshi, and he was a little ashamed to say that he played a major role in this. Chen Manguan and Sun Changde were also a little embarrassed. In fact, they deserved the thanks. After all, when Xia Shao was busy with her studies, the company's operations were indeed supported by them. But they are not proud of it, because Xia Shao is at the helm of the group's development, and anything she does is always a big deal!

For example, the acquisition case of Shengxing Group is destined to scare these old guys tonight!

Sun Changde blinked at Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong, his eyes excited.

But the people below were waiting for Xia Shao to continue speaking - they had to wait until she finished speaking before the dance could begin.

Little did he know that tonight’s dance party was destined to be uneventful.

"Although it's a bit abrupt, there is something Huaxia Group wants to take this opportunity to announce tonight." Xia Shao spoke again, but what he said shocked everyone.

Something to announce? What's up

I originally thought it was just a simple speech, but I didn't expect such a move, and many people showed interested eyes.

Hu Jiayi, Liu Xianxian, Miao Yan and Yuan Ze had already sat down in the leisure area at the back. Seeing this, Liu Xianxian snorted and said, "What's so mysterious about this girl?"

Yuanze smiled and looked at the stage with interest.

But Xia Shao stretched out her hand and gracefully made an invitation gesture to the person standing below, "For this matter, we also need to invite Mr. Yang Qi, the assistant to the chairman of Hong Kong Jiahui International Group, to come to the stage."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yang Qi.

The guests present have not forgotten that China has invited a heavyweight guest tonight! That is the people from Hong Kong Jiahui International Group! Although Yang Qi is the assistant to the chairman, he represents the entire group on this occasion. Since they are willing to attend tonight's dance, it means that they are at least selling Huaxia Group's face.

Naturally, everyone has not forgotten that Fu Ruixiang's Yuan Dynasty blue and white plate was bought by Mr. Li at a high price of 100 million. Therefore, there are rumors that Mr. Li and Mr. Xia became friends because of this blue and white plate, and the two have some friendship.

Therefore, everyone was not too surprised when Yang Qi came to congratulate him tonight. I just don’t understand why Assistant Yang should be asked to come on stage when Huaxia Group is about to announce something

While everyone was doubting, Yang Qi stepped onto the stage, smiled and shook hands with Xia Shao, "Mr. Xia, let's make an announcement."

This matter was her handiwork, and she should announce it and accept the congratulations from the audience.

"Okay." Xia Shao nodded slightly, turned around with a smile, and glanced at all the guests. Everyone stopped the discussion unconsciously and looked at her.

Just listen to her say: "Tonight, Huaxia Group is going to announce something, that is - the shares of Shengxing Group acquired by Hong Kong Jiahui International Group have been officially transferred to Huaxia Group. From today on, Shengxing Group will be transferred to Huaxia Group The group actually holds the controlling stake!”

There was silence.

No one spoke, everyone was staring at Xia Shao, and their faces even maintained the curious look just now.

However, gradually, the sound of popping was heard, and the wine glasses held by many people accidentally fell on the carpet, spilling dark red wine all over the floor.

In the leisure area at the back, a piece of cake fell out of Liu Xianxian's mouth. Hu Jiayi, Miao Yan, and Yuan Ze were sitting on the sofa, their backs stiff and unable to move.

But the bosses in front reacted one by one and were in an uproar!

"What? Shengxing Group is actually controlled by Huaxia Group? What's going on?"

"Have the shares of Shengxing Group acquired by Hong Kong Jiahui International Group been transferred to Huaxia Group?"

"How can this be?"

"What's going on?"

"Yes! Mr. Xia, what's going on?"

In the face of everyone's inquiries and shock, the girl standing on the stage smiled elegantly and calmly, and was unwilling to reveal more. She only said: "Jiahui Group and Huaxia Group have signed a share transfer contract. Now, Sheng Xing Group is already actually controlled by Huaxia. We restructure the board of directors of Shengxing Group, and Shengxing’s operations will be put on the agenda immediately. This matter was originally planned to be announced at the press conference tomorrow, but since there is a dance party tonight Now, I’ll announce it first.”

Xia Shao didn't reveal anything in her words, she just told everyone a fact, that is - the document has been signed and taken effect, and a press conference will be held tomorrow. This is not a Christmas joke, she is just stating a fact!

But this fact shocked the celebrities present and stunned them all!

What is going on? Doesn’t Mr. Li intend to enter the antique world? Why were the acquired shares handed over to China in a blink of an eye

There's something going on here! There must be something!

Just two days ago, when there were still rumors from the outside world, some shopping mall veterans felt that Jiahui Group appeared suddenly. However, because the whole thing was more natural, there seemed to be no doubt about the chaos of Shengxing Group. So everyone could only guess that Mr. Li suddenly became interested in the antique business.

It’s not that no one thinks that Huaxia Group is too quiet in this matter, but rumors from the outside are that Huaxia has insufficient funds to acquire Shengxing’s shares.

But I also remembered that Xia Shao and Li Boyuan had a friendship, so it was inevitable to guess whether she knew that Mr. Li intended to take action, so she didn't participate

This kind of speculation has also been recognized by some people, who think it is possible.

But what does Xia Shao's announcement just now mean

Could it be that Huaxia Group was not involved at all, but everything was entrusted to the Hong Kong Jiahui Group

hiss! How can this be

What benefits can Jiahui Group get from doing this? Unless Mr. Li and Mr. Xia have a very close relationship!

Suppose the friendship between the two is so deep that they can ignore the benefits...

Many shopping mall veterans present lowered their eyes, rolled their eyes, and thought frequently. This thought made his face change several times, and when he looked up at Xia Shao, his eyes were filled with horror!

If it were them, they would have such good resources and they would not be able to use them!

As we all know, Huaxia and Shengxing are at loggerheads, and Huaxia's assets are not as good as Shengxing's. It has always been a shame for a large company to be acquired by a small business. In addition, the two companies have a grudge. If they were the bosses of Shengxing, they would still hold on and be determined not to sell their shares to China! And if Hong Kong Jiahui Group comes forward, its strength and reputation are reassuring, and even if it doesn't want to sell, it will take into account that Jiahui Group is bound to win and will do it secretly, so the share acquisition will definitely go smoothly!

hiss! Could it be...

Is it because this girl took this into consideration that she contacted Jiahui Group and created a mysterious takeover drama for Shengxing

This, this is a big deal!

But... how could she be able to do such a big deal at such a young age? Even these people didn’t expect it!

If she really has such a plan, then... the chaos caused by Shengxing Group this time is really just natural, and there is no doubt at all

Everyone looked at the people at the dance. Xiong Huaixing, Miao Chenghong, and even Zhu Huaixin were here! These three characters are the key figures who made Wang Daolin so anxious! They all seem to have a close relationship with Mr. Xia...

I heard that someone had tampered with the Zhu family's ancestral tomb, and it was Mr. Xia who tampered with it. I heard that Mr. Xiong had asked Mr. Xia about Feng Shui before. What about Mr. Miao

No matter whether everyone could see the connection between Miao Chenghong and Xia Shao, they were all shocked to find that some things were vaguely connected.

The media exposure and the police report caused Wang Daolin to be trapped in the detention center, Shengxing Group's reputation was damaged, and its stock price plummeted. Then, Jiahui Group suddenly appeared, quickly and forcefully obtained the approval of shareholders, and acquired the shares.

But now, the shares have been transferred to China!

Could it be that this young girl is the manipulator behind this business war

Everyone was shocked. Hu Guangjin and his wife, Miao Chenghong, Xiong Huaixing, and Cao Li all looked at Xia Shao in shock, with incredible expressions in their eyes!

Just when everyone was still in disbelief, a black military Land Rover stopped in front of the hotel.

An officer with a cold temperament and a stern face stepped out of the car. He was dressed in a straight Major General uniform, holding a bouquet of roses and lilies in his hand, and walked into the hotel.
