Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1720
"All I have is a false name. I don't do much business, just make a little money." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"It's really too modest for you to say that. I still know a lot about you and your company in mainland China. To be honest, we are about the same age. It may reach 1/10 of your achievements." Yang Qilong smiled, and continued: "Besides, it is not an easy task to set up a business in a place like the Mainland. I heard in the early years that someone did it The business was directly dragged to be shot by the police in the mainland, which sounds too scary..."

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Duan Yun laughed and said, "We in mainland China are also a society ruled by law. Ten years ago, doing business would indeed be arrested by the government, but it's not as good as what you heard in Hong Kong." Hey, there are people in prison, but they are shot every time because of this kind of thing, how is that possible?"

Obviously, in Duan Yun's view, Yang Qilong's knowledge of the mainland is still more than ten years or even decades ago.

In fact, this is also a very normal thing. Hong Kong’s media mouthpieces are all controlled by the Hong Kong British government. They have always demonized the mainland in the media to a certain extent. This kind of thing can be seen in later Hong Kong films. I realized that once mainlanders appear in many Hong Kong films, they are basically the kind of rustic and ignorant people, so that Hong Kong people have an inherent understanding of mainlanders, even though the mainland has already undergone earth-shaking The change.

But to Duan Yun's surprise, this Yang Qilong is not the dandy image of the rich second-generation son he imagined, although Duan Yun learned that he had dropped out of school when he was a teenager, and he often appeared in the gossip section of the Hong Kong entertainment media , but the conversation was relatively peaceful, and he did not hesitate to praise Duan Yun.

This also shows that Duan Yun's understanding of some Hong Kong people is also different, but in fact the vast majority of Hong Kong people are well-educated, humble and polite, which can be regarded as the continuation of Chinese Confucianism.

"You're right. I've never been to the mainland before, but I've gained a lot of knowledge since I met Miss Li." Yang Qilong glanced at Li Yun, and then said: "At the time, I was the first one at the Jockey Club. The first time I saw Ms. Li, I was attracted by her temperament, I thought it was the daughter of a rich family in Hong Kong, but I didn't expect it to be from the mainland..."

"Actually, the first time I saw Brother Yang, I thought you were really handsome. Brother Yang is a very attractive person, warm and generous, very suitable for making friends." Li Yun also smiled slightly at this time, and said to Yang Qilong : "From this point of view, you and our Duan are finally the same kind of people, each with its own charm, both are great young talents..."

Li Yun's emotional intelligence is very high, she is very clear that she is the one who is in charge of connecting during this meeting, so she acts as a green leaf as much as possible and brings the topic to Duan Yun and Yang Qilong.

"I can't compare with Mr. Duan. Mr. Duan can be said to be the most famous private enterprise owner in the mainland. This is a very remarkable thing. After all, Hong Kong is only a tiny place, and it is far inferior to him in terms of land and population. The mainland, the people who can rise in the mainland are not comparable to the elites in Hong Kong..." Yang Qilong shook his head lightly, and then said: "I'm not afraid that Mr. Duan will laugh at me. In fact, I dropped out of school when I was in junior high school. Studying is so boring, and I also feel that my father started business before he finished junior high school, and now he is not the same as making the company so big..."

"Education is not equal to ability, but in our mainland, if you study well, at least you can ensure that your family has no worries in the future. That's why many people imitate the ancients' head hanging beams and cones stabbing their buttocks, in order to be able to hold an iron man. The rice bowl, if you are admitted to university, it will be a golden rice bowl..." Duan Yun smiled, and then said: "But Hong Kong is a place where heroes gather, and the social environment is relatively relaxed, so people can cross the sea and show their magical powers. With my own ability, I opened a restaurant and a company, and I was still doing well. The reason why I can achieve some success in business in the Mainland is because I have a lot of courage and good luck on the other hand. Seizing the dividends of the country's transformation and development, that's all..."

"It's not that simple, is it? I heard that Mr. Duan, you are a person with a background in technology. The chips you produce are even admired by Americans. You have also established cooperative relations with many multinational companies. Now you plan to introduce European cars. Production line, building a car factory in the mainland, this is definitely not a business that ordinary people can do..." Yang Qilong said looking directly at Duan Yun.

"Mr. Yang seems to know our Tianyin Group very well." Duan Yun said with some surprise.

"I also heard what Ms. Li said at the beginning. At that time, I still didn't believe it. I really didn't expect there to be such a powerful person in the mainland, and the most important thing is that they are about the same age as me..." Yang Qilong paused, then continued: "Later, I also sent someone to the mainland to inquire, and the information I got was even worse than what Miss Li said, so I kept thinking that if I cooperate with such a strong person to do business, I should be able to learn a lot... "

"We should learn from each other." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "Actually, I came here to meet Mr. Yang this time with a cooperation project, and this project is very big, but once it succeeds, the return will be rewarded." It's also quite…”

Duan Yun originally thought that it would take a lot of talking to persuade Yang Qilong to invest in his business, but now it seems that Yang Qilong has already figured out Duan Yun's ability and trusts Duan Yun's ability very much, so at this time, Duan Yun Planning to have a showdown with the opponent directly.

"What project? Let's hear it."

"This project is exactly what you said about introducing production lines and technologies from Europe and setting up automobile factories in the mainland." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "Last year, I went to Sweden for investigation and visited the Volvo Group on the spot. This is a very powerful European car company. The Volvo cars they produce are high-end brands in Europe, and their products have been selling well. So I signed a contract with them to introduce their two car production lines. One is a car production line and the other is a truck production line. The total contract amount is 5.4 million US dollars, but so far, I still have a funding gap of nearly 1.7 million US dollars that has not been filled, and there is still about half a year before the payment deadline in the contract. If Mr. Yang is willing to participate in this project, no matter whether it is to give us a loan or directly invest in shares, I can guarantee that within three years, you will earn back your principal and interest, what do you think?"
