Rekindle 2003

Chapter 853: Zhang Zhongmou, the Uninvited Guest
As for the inspection team, it is the same no matter whether it is at home or abroad, and no matter what era it is.

To have team spirit...

No matter what your level is or how special your mission is, once you arrive abroad, you have to go through all the necessary procedures.

After all, when receiving others, they also have to hang banners, take photos, and report on it. The main focus of both parties on these kinds of things is to have a laugh.

But only in the initial steps.

The arrangement of the entire inspection team was tight at the beginning and loose at the end, and everyone tacitly agreed to have a few days of free time.

There is one advantage of group buying in politics, business, culture and education. Some activities do not need to be participated in at the same time, and you can do whatever you want later.

For Qing Yun, what he wants is this free time.

After reporting to the office and arriving at the hotel, Qing Yun and his group took a short rest, tidied their attire, and then took a special car to National Taiwan University.

This is the process he can't avoid.

Participated in the economic, trade, cultural and educational symposium between China and the islands.

Otherwise he would have no reason to come out.

……

Compared with Peking University and Tsinghua University, National Taiwan University is naturally young, but it should not be underestimated.

Frogs are not completely without their merits.

In the university rankings at the beginning of the century, National Taiwan University was undoubtedly ranked number one in China.

Don't underestimate yourself, and don't blindly boast about your achievements.

In that era, we were a long way from being at the forefront of the world.

According to the first world ranking list of Chinese universities made by Huating University and National Chiao Tung University in 2003, NTU was ranked 190th, Huaqing University was ranked 248th, Peking University was ranked 287th, HKU was ranked 296th, USTC was ranked 312th, City University of Hong Kong was ranked 332nd, CUHK was ranked 335th, Chiao Tung University was ranked 344th, and Fudan University was ranked 345th.

The ranking is mainly based on the number of Nobel Prize winners, the number of famous research scholars, the number of articles published in natural science journals, the number of citations of research papers, and the research performance of each university.

In fact, it is quite fair. At least it does not use the "degree of internationalization" that uses the proportion of international students as an influencing factor for scoring.

If this option is included, all universities will have to drop by at least 200 places.

It is the ranking of Huating Jiaotong University and Fudan University. You can tell at a glance that it is full of the characteristics of Huating Jiaotong University.

Not only is it ridiculous, it's also insulting.

The reason why NTU is so advanced is because of the presence of Nobel Prize winner Yuan T. Lee and Turing Award winner Chi-Chih Yao.

Mr. Yao, who officially returned to China in 2004 to establish the Yao Class, began his academic journey here.

The campus of NTU is shaded by green trees, and the quaint buildings reveal a strong academic atmosphere, which makes people involuntarily slow down their pace and immerse themselves in the solemnity and tranquility of this institution of higher learning.

The group was led to the conference room of NTU, where people from the island's education and business circles had already gathered. They were standing or sitting, talking in low voices.

As soon as the delegation arrived, there was thunderous applause and the spotlights of the reporters nearby kept flashing.

The conference room was decorated solemnly and elegantly. The long table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth, on which were placed exquisite nameplates and some conference materials. The emblem of NTU was hung on the wall, showing the glory and history of this university.

Under the guidance of Xu Zeng, Executive Vice President of Fudan University, Qingyun got to know the educators present one by one.

Although he didn't know anyone here, he always maintained a polite smile and a respectful attitude.

At this time, his identity is naturally not just a student of Fudan University. In addition to being the chairman of the Yanhuang Group, he is also the president of the Yanhuang University of Science and Technology which is under preparation. There is no inequality.

The more identities you have, the easier it is to speak.

As for those in the business community, Qing Yun was also taken by Jiang Shangzhou to visit them one by one.

Emperor Yun kept smiling, shaking hands, and saying that he had long admired me.

In fact, he didn't know anyone in the business world.

But it is indeed a household name.

The first one is Wang Yung-ching of Formosa Plastics Group.

Qing Yun even had to squat down to shake hands with him.

There is no way. Although the 86-year-old old man is in good spirits, he is sitting in a wheelchair.

You have to squat.

Moreover, Emperor Yun's heart was full of respect.

This person is a business expert who is so good at doing business that Qin Manyan’s second uncle Qin Tianshan is willing to work for him for free for three years.

It is also the first integrator of chain industry development.

The second is Xu Xudong of Far Eastern Group, whose subsidiaries include Asia Cement, Far Eastern Textile, Far Eastern Department Store, Donglian Chemical, Far Eastern International Hotel, and U-Ming Marine…

Simply put, as the third person on the island's wealth list, Qin Tianchuan is just an equal to him.

As for the second one...it was Mr. Gu who held three talks with Mr. Wang.

Even if Emperor Yun took the initiative to call him "Mr. Gu", it would depend on whether others would give him the face.

Third, Zhang Rongfa, the island shipping king.

Except for China, anyone with the title of Shipping King in other places is a big shot among big shots, and his wealth cannot be measured by money.

Because they control the world's most important trade cornerstone - shipping routes.

Only when you have achieved global level in business will you understand how terrifying this group of people is.

Their strength is measured in units other than currency.

Even the rich people in the desert have to obey them when they come.

The only thing that can compete with it is the existence of national shipping.

But China is the only country in the entire Blue Planet that can become a national shipping company.

This is someone that Emperor Yun doesn't say he must be on good terms with, but it is beneficial to have a good relationship with him.

Jiang Shangzhou, who had been worried about his youthful vigor, finally felt relieved.

After all, when he was in China, 'Xiao Qing Zong' was well-known for his tyranny and strength.

The commotion at the airport customs in the morning made Jiang Shangzhou nervous, fearing that this brat would get angry and do nothing.

It seems that no matter how much this little bastard talks and makes a fuss, he is essentially a very sensible person.

However, just when Jiang Shangzhou was lamenting the young people's maturity, the next person appeared and made him complain bitterly.
Fourth, Zhang Zhongmou.

The Chinese inspection team never expected that Zhang Zhongmou would appear here.

Normally, when two parties hold a meeting or something like that, the list of participants is decided in advance.

This is not some temporary inspection group.

No matter how much the public is turbulent, there is still a lot of political, business, cultural and educational exchanges between the two sides, and this is not affected by public opinion. In fact, the more turbulent it is, the more exchanges there will be between the two sides.

And this time Qing Yun only joined temporarily.

The island is actually not surprising.

After all, the Yanhuang Group is a rising star in the local area. Having achieved a certain level of success, it naturally has the qualifications or the need to participate in such a symposium.

However, the Straits Exchange Foundation also informed the Mainland Affairs Council of his attendance a few days in advance.

And a truly temporary joining like Zhang Zhongmou is considered an uninvited arrival in China's eyes.

But after all, this is Xiaodao's home ground, so adding one temporarily won't be a big problem.

And logically speaking, the inspection team has added Qing Yun, who works in the IT industry, and the other side has added a semiconductor industry person, which can be regarded as proactively bringing the industrial chains closer to each other and there is room for negotiation.

It's just...

Jiang Shangzhou looked at Zhang Zhongmou, who was walking straight towards them and even extended his hand in advance, and smiled bitterly.

Regardless of his temper, even if the plot of 'Xiao Qing always teases the island customs' follows this morning, Qing Yun will have to slap the face of the chairman of Yiji Semiconductor.

Everyone in the inspection team also understood.

I won't talk about those in the education sector. This inspection team is led by the Huating department in charge of culture and education and headed by five schools in East China. All of them are deputy principals or above, and they are all scoundrels.

Most of the business sectors are state-owned enterprises. There are no purely private enterprises. Those that exist are private companies like the Yanhuang Group that have close ties with the state.

Wei Jiafu of COSCO Shipping, Liu Xinmin of Huating Waigaoqiao, Xie Qihua of Huating Baosteel, Ye Lipei of Zhongsheng Group, Hu Maoyuan of Huating Automobile, Wang Chengming of Huating Instrument and Electronics, Yuan Guoliang of Huating Broad Enterprise, Du Junhong of Longqi Technology...all of them are the top leaders of their respective companies and are qualified to lead the team.

They knew very well that Xiaodao did not inform Zhang Zhongmou of his arrival in advance because he had evil intentions.

Because this is Zhang Zhongmou.

The godfather and leader of the semiconductor industry in Kojima, he is also Xiaoqing's mortal enemy who is suspected of having a "master-killing feud" with him in the current public opinion field.

But if Qing Yun greeted Zhang Zhongmou, the 'suspected master killer', with a smile, then the reporters nearby would have a story to tell.

This is not a domestic reporter. Domestic reporters still have some rules.

The prostitutes under the flower of democracy don't care about these things. They only serve the direction of public opinion and report what the people want to hear.

This undoubtedly cleared the suspicion on Yiji Dian.

How to choose?
Everyone looked at Zhang Zhongmou's amiable face when he met the younger generation, and everyone looked constipated.

There is no choice.

If the style at the airport this morning continues, there will definitely be a dispute today at this official occasion between the SEF and the Mainland Affairs Council.

To put it bluntly, it is not conducive to the overall situation of united front work and puts personal interests above national justice.

In this game, Xiaoqing can only consider the overall situation.

If there is anyone in this inspection team who cannot see the situation clearly, it is probably Mr. Chen from the Yanhuang Group.

Or rather, at this moment and in this place, she is the only one who understands this "wild boar" best.

He lowered his head and glanced at the hand that Zhang Zhongmou stretched out, then Emperor Yun curled his lips into a crooked-mouthed sneer like a god of war, and then stretched out his hand to shake it.

The same smile also appeared on Zhang Zhongmou's face.

This is the purpose of his appearance here.

The handshake between the two parties had achieved the effect he wanted.

After all, as someone who wants to do business in China, he must clear himself of suspicion in public, otherwise his future business path will be full of obstacles.

Everyone present noticed the expressions of Zhang Zhongmou and Qing Yun, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Mr. Xiaoqing is still young after all, and can’t hide things on his face.

The older ones also sighed in their hearts at this time.

A little frustrated.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. This is the tone set by the country. We must give in when we can, otherwise we will suffer the consequences when we return.

and……

All I can say is that the character "Mou" in Zhang Zhongmou's name is indeed correct.

All it takes is a photo of them shaking hands on the spot, or even just his appearance on this occasion, and the public opinion crisis of the past few days will be self-defeating. The handshake between the two is naturally the best annotation of this meaning.

Holding Qingyun's hand and looking into Qingyun's eyes, Zhang Zhongmou gradually revealed a kind smile of an elder on his face.

A handshake is both a courtesy and an invisible contest.

"Mr. Xiaoqing, heroes emerge from youth! It is rare to have such vision and courage at such a young age."

When he held Qing Yun's hand, he shook it vigorously, as if conveying encouragement and recognition from an elder to a younger person.

At the same time, he gently patted Qing Yun's arm, motioning him to look at the camera.

After that, he said to the people around him, "Who would have thought that this young man, at the age of 18, is already a leader in China's local PC industry.

When I was 18, I was still thinking about how to work to earn tuition fees. The young are formidable! The young are formidable!

However, Zhang Zhongmou's playful smile and the contempt in his eyes were not to be trifled with, as if to say,
"This silly boy is so naive that he doesn't understand the complexity and cruelty of the business world."

Reporters at the scene captured this scene. They gathered around and pointed their cameras at the two people's clasped hands, ready to record this moment.

In their minds, they have already begun to think about tomorrow's news headlines, which may be "A newcomer in the mainland business community suffered a setback at the National Taiwan University, and Zhang Zhongmou used his experienced methods to teach his juniors."

Zhang Zhongmou was also aware of this, and patted Qingyun's arm, motioning him to look at the camera.

It's time to end this farce.

It's simply a loss of face for him to compete against a little brat like Qing Yun at his age.

Zhang Zhongmou was also feeling somewhat sad in his heart.

All I can say is that China is developing better and better, so he can only appear here.

If it was ten years ago...

Only a nobody would care about China’s attitude!

And now...

I can only say that making money is not a shameful thing.

But at this moment, something happened that Zhang Zhongmou never expected.
