Chapter 816 My Function Is Just a Tool

After a while, Zhang Qihang figured out what was going on:

After learning that Mr. Jacques Nasser, the global president of Ford Motor, had invited him to a charity dinner, the consulate first did one thing, which was to confirm whether it was true?

After confirming that it was true, the comrades in the consulate became active: Can we take this opportunity to promote China and attract some investment to the country?
The comrades at the consulate thought very well. Since this charity dinner was organized and held by Ford Motor, the level of the guests attending this dinner cannot be lowered. Even the existence of these bigwigs can convince three or five bigwigs Going to China to investigate, we have done our work, haven't we?
Of course, if you don’t have an invitation letter, you can’t go to a dinner party of this level, but now, by coincidence, Zhang Qihang has one in his hand, and according to the prevailing rules in the United States, invited guests can bring a female companion And two assistants, this gives the embassy a chance...

Knowing the plan of the embassy, ​​Zhang Qihang explained dumbfoundingly: "Leader, it's no problem for me to take you there, but let me tell you the truth, I still don't know why Mr. Jacques Nasser wants to see me." Don’t blame me if I can’t help you at that time.”

Seeing that Zhang Qihang did not object to leading the people from the consulate, the comrade on the other end of the phone said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. For our consulate, what we need is this invitation letter. As for your concern This question... Well, don't worry, we have experience with this kind of thing."

After a pause, probably feeling that the words were not strong enough, the comrade lowered his voice and said to Zhang Qihang: "Comrade Zhang Qihang, you have helped us, and we will not fail to express that we will write the report later. At that time, we will definitely explain your role in this matter to the organization, and this is also a good thing for you, isn't it?"

Well, since the other party hinted so blatantly, what else can I say?

Zhang Qihang readily agreed.

....................................

a few days later.

The famous Santa Monica Proper Hotel in Los Angeles.

Sitting on the Cadillac, looking at his companion who was a little nervous, Zhang Qihang patted Zhou Wenwen's forearm lightly through the sleeve, and said softly with a smile: "Secretary Zhou, take it easy, it's okay, actually you Don't feel pressured, just treat it as if you are here for dinner tonight, and don't think about anything else."

This Ms. Zhou Wenwen is the second secretary of the consulate, and at the same time is the female companion arranged by the consulate to be in charge of tonight's activities.

In fact, according to the idea of ​​the consulate, Zhang Qihang arranged for a male colleague of the consulate to participate in this event with Zhang Qihang, but Zhang Qihang said that he would rather release Jacques Nasser's pigeons than bring one The male companion is going to the charity dinner tonight-what are you kidding, everyone else brings a female companion, so why not bring a male companion? !
"How is this possible?" Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Zhou Wenwen, who was a little nervous at first, couldn't care less about being nervous now, and opened her eyes wide, with a displeased expression on her face: "I'm here to work..."

Looking at Zhou Wenwen with a serious face, Zhang Qihang shook his head secretly, and was lazy to argue with the other party: Well!Since your old man is so persistent, then continue to persevere...

At first, Zhang Qihang thought that the sudden appearance of two strangers of the yellow race in this mainly white event would attract a lot of attention, but it turned out that Zhang Qihang was overthinking it. It was Zhang Qihang and Zhou Wenwen, but no one expressed surprise at why there were two Chinese at today's dinner, and no one jumped out to say that they would step on them.

At first, I was a little confused, but soon, Zhang Qihang figured it out: this is a charity dinner held by Ford Motor, and those who can appear in this venue are all guests invited by Ford Motor without exception. , Even if someone is a racist, whoever jumps out to trouble other people at this time is tantamount to slapping Ford in the face... Is Ford's face so easy to slap?

On the other hand, Zhou Wenwen, seeing Zhang Qihang who calmly took some food and found a corner to eat, couldn't help it: "Mr. Zhang, are you not nervous at all?"

"Nervous?" Zhang Qihang was surprised: "Why should I be nervous?"

"..."

Zhou Wenwen, who was eager to talk, never expected that Zhang Qihang would answer like this. She didn't know how to answer for a while, and she couldn't help it because of Zhang Qihang's rhetorical question.

Looking at Zhou Wenwen who pointed at him and didn't know what to say for a while, Zhang Qihang smiled instead: "Secretary Zhou, what I understand is that all the people present today are either rich or expensive, but so what Woolen cloth?

Let's put it this way, what I hold in my hands is a large enterprise group with an annual output value of several billion and an annual profit of more than 10 billion US dollars. Among the people present, how many people can reach this level of wealth?So tell me, since their wealth is far worse than what I control, why should I feel inferior in front of them?Can't hold your head up? "

"Uh...this..."

Zhou Wenwen didn't know how to answer for a while, but she agreed with Zhang Qihang's words in her heart: it seems to be the same reason?
"Of course, maybe you want to say that Huateng Industrial Group is a local state-owned enterprise. No matter how much profit Huateng Industrial Group makes, it has nothing to do with me. That's true," Zhang Qihang didn't bother to talk to Zhou Wenwen explained that Huateng Industrial Group's profit was linked to her bonus, and said directly: "But you may not know that I am personally a good songwriter, and I am well-known in the domestic music scene. In addition, my parents Doing business can be regarded as a small achievement...Let's put it this way, we dare not say that we have a large family, but we still have a property of two or three million US dollars.

Two or three million US dollars of property, I dare not say that it is ranked first among the guests present today, but the middle row should not be a big problem, right? "

"..."

Zhou Wenwen covered her mouth in shock, and was speechless in surprise: This man who looks about his age in front of him actually has a net worth of two or three million US dollars?Calculated at the current exchange rate, doesn't that mean that their family has at least 300 to 3000 million RMB?

Thinking that Zhang Qihang's family is so rich, Zhou Wenwen's eyes on Zhang Qihang changed: Could it be...

Zhang Qihang's eyes are so good, Zhang Qihang smiled before Zhou Wenwen said it: "Secretary Zhou doesn't need to look at me like that, do you suspect that I use my power to embezzle and accept bribes and accept kickbacks from relevant units?" ?”

Zhou Wenwen didn't expect Zhang Qihang to say it so directly, and she didn't know how to answer for a while: on the one hand, this is just her own guess, but the truth may be different from what she thought; on the other hand, since the other party dared to In other words, either he is not afraid of investigation, his income is legal and can withstand investigation, or this guy thinks his background is strong enough, and he is not afraid to report to the superior unit at all... Zhou Wenwen thinks the last possibility is extremely Small.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wenwen felt a little embarrassed, and waved her hands again and again: "I didn't mean that, I just felt...a little surprised..."

"Understood," Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile: "So you should also understand me. Since I am not inferior to most of the people present in terms of personal wealth and the size of the company I manage, I must have the same mentality as you think. Not the same."

"That's true," Zhou Wenwen nodded, and then asked curiously, "Boss Zhang, are you really so rich?"

In this era, when it comes to their own income, people are far less secretive than they are 20 years later. Even if their income is obtained legally, everyone is very happy to talk about their wealth. Don't feel offended, Zhang Qihang nodded: "The situation of our group is a bit special. After several reforms, my personal income is linked to the group's profit. I can take 0.5% of the group's annual net profit as a bonus;

In addition, I have been investing well over the years. I have made a lot of money in the stock market, plus I made money writing songs for others... There are all kinds of things, tens of millions. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang said: "I have explained all these situations to the organization, and the organization has personally sent people down to verify and check."

The implication is that although I have a lot of wealth in my hands, it has passed the test of the organization.

In fact, Zhang Qihang’s words are already discounted several times. For Zhang Qihang, he basically has no daily expenses, and the company covers all of them. In addition, Zhang Qihang has invested well in the stock market in the past few years. The funds in Zhang Qihang's hands have exceeded 4000 million.

And don't forget what date it is, 1997.

1997 ah ~!

Which Reborn would pass up this opportunity?

Faced with this year's Asian financial crisis, as the general manager of a provincial state-owned enterprise: Huateng Industrial Group, Zhang Qihang is naturally not good at what to do, and the rules and regulations are also doomed to Zhang Qihang.

However, Huateng Industrial Group is not good at doing something, which does not mean that Zhang Qihang is not good at doing something personally. It has only been more than two months since the Asian financial crisis, and Zhang, who has made up his mind and is determined to follow the predators Qihang has already achieved the small goal of quadrupling his wealth, that is to say, Zhang Qihang is now worth more than ten million dollars.

Tens of millions of dollars!
To put it bluntly, in today's venue, how many people are worth more than ten million US dollars?Is there 20%?

Since the vast majority of you are not as rich as I am, why should I be half a head short in front of you?
