Siheyuan: Baji heirs never forget

Chapter 127 ‘Handshake’ is a ‘big deal’ (please subscribe)
Tai Guomei wanted to find some people to understand the situation of Xinghai Group, but after walking around the Baji Martial Arts Hall, it was obvious that no one would talk to him.

Naturally, he would not stay any longer, and Mao Zhongzhang was relatively less utilitarian and could still stay in Baji Martial Arts Hall.

Tai Guomei wandered outside for a while, then asked someone for the location of the nearest newspaper office, and immediately headed towards the newspaper office.

At present, excluding the official, if we want to say who has the best information, it must be the newspapers. After all, these people are professional information collectors.

Tai Guomei came to a private newspaper agency. After telling her identity and wanting to find out some information, she was immediately invited in.

It took a full hour for Tai Guomei to come out.He also held a simple piece of information in his hand, which was compiled for him by the newspaper. One hour of consultation plus this information cost a full 500 yuan.

The money is nothing to him, but today BJ can hire dozens of workers for a year.

Tai Guomei took the information back to Xinghai Hotel. Instead of hiding it, he synchronized the information with other people traveling with him.

Xin Zhao's current property and the recent scandal of his third son are all known to them.

But these people don't care about Xin Zhao's son's scandal, because in their eyes, it's nothing. In other words, if the secretary who came with them this time can get pregnant, he can get a house when he returns to Taiwan. Nurturing the fetus.

In the world of capitalists, even if some things are not allowed by law, they are tolerated privately.

What really surprised them was that Xin Zhao's domestic assets had built so many factories.

If the industries in Hong Kong are added to it, the assets in Xin Zhao's hands now are estimated to have reached tens of billions of dollars.

In terms of its market value, this value may be doubled. After all, there are currently no decent competitors in mainland China.

Xinghai Hotel, in Tai Guomei's room.

He invited more than a dozen Taiwanese businessmen in, including Mao Zhongzhang.

"Everyone, we are going to hold talks with mainland entrepreneurs tomorrow. The top priority is the Xinghai Group in the mainland. After reading the information, everyone has any thoughts. In other words, from the mainland inspection to the present, is it worth investing? Everyone. Tell us everything." Tai Guomei asked, sitting on the sofa.

"If you exclude political factors, you can definitely make a lot of money by investing in and building factories in mainland China." The speaker was Wang Yongqing, chairman of Taiwan's Qiang Plastic Group, who is known as the plastic king in Taiwan.

Wang Yongqing continued: "In my opinion, we might as well discuss suggestions with the government when we go back this time. The confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait should not continue. If Taiwan's economy is to take off, it will definitely be able to fly further if it has the backing of the mainland."

"Ahem." Tai Guomei, as the organizer, quickly interrupted Wang Yongqing: "We don't talk about politics, only about economics. Mainland Xinghai Group is an international company. Some of its products are already exported abroad. We can cooperate overseas. Lao Cao, what do you think?"

Tai Guomei looked at a person in the crowd, his name was Cao Xingcheng, the chairman of Donglian Electronics.

This company is one of the most high-tech companies in Taiwan. They have mastered seven-micron manufacturing technology, and their current main business is wafer foundry in the semiconductor industry.

Naturally, this person was also the main person who expressed goodwill to Tai Guomei during this trip.

When Tai Guomei asked for his opinion, Cao Xingcheng frowned and said, "I'm not sure why we have to come to the mainland to build factories and develop after the mainland's reform and opening up."

"Look at this information about Xinghai Group, the keyboard factory, Hanka factory, tricycle factory, and the rumored automobile factory." Cao Xingcheng pointed to the information in his hand and said: "Xinghai Group has huge plans, and the increase in mainland China's national power threatens it. As for our wealth and lives, are you all the ones who want money rather than life?"

Cao Xingcheng looked at everyone.

After hearing this, everyone smiled and came to the mainland for inspection. Naturally, some of them had political motives for coming to the mainland to observe.

Judging from Cao Xingcheng's tone of voice, he must be on the side of Dutai.

There was a private meeting in the Xinghai Hotel. In the Xinghai Building, mainland businessmen participating in tomorrow's talks were also reading documents in the conference room.

This is the information provided by the government. The names and surnames of some Taiwanese businessmen, as well as their own information, are all on it.

At this moment, two temporary altars are being built downstairs in Xinghai Building. One is for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the other is for Mazu, the God and Buddha.

As the leader tomorrow, Xin Zhao naturally came out to meet with everyone and reiterated the rules of business.

At the same time, a staff member of Xinghai Group also sent tomorrow's process to Xinghai Hotel.

In Tai Guomei's room, the beautiful female secret room sent a document. After Tai Guomei read it, the expression on her face paused slightly.

"What's wrong?" Cao Xingcheng asked.

"Take a look!" Tai Guomei handed over the document.

Cao Xingcheng took it and glanced at the topic first. There was no problem with "talking about business in business". After all, politics itself is sensitive.

But the initial process made him uncomfortable, and he couldn't find any reason.

In the beginning, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were worshiped. Taiwan itself recognized this, so it made sense to join the mainland businessmen in worshiping the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

There is no problem with worshiping the Three Pure Ones, Buddha Guanyin, and Mazu.

Among them, Mazu is the goddess of the sea believed by Taiwanese people.

Tai Guomei told these things, and everyone fell silent for a while.

At this moment, Mao Zhongzhang, who was wearing an official identity, said: "I don't think there is any problem. We have the same roots and the same beliefs! Besides, if you do as the Romans do, if you don't worship, I'm afraid there will be rumors. Don’t agree with your roots and the things you believe in?”

As soon as Mao Zhongzhang said these words, Cao Xingcheng held the words back in his throat.

After some discussion, several people agreed to this process and quietly waited for tomorrow's arrival.

At around nine o'clock in the morning the next day, the door of the Xinghai Group headquarters opened. A banner was hung above the door with the words "Warmly welcome Taiwan compatriots to come to the mainland for business inspections."

Reporters from various newspapers have already started taking pictures of the banners.

"Here we come." A reporter shouted.

They immediately pointed the camera in the direction of Xinghai Hotel, and sure enough, a group of Taiwanese businessmen came out of the hotel and were heading towards Xinghai Tower.

As the group of people traveled, the road was blocked by traffic police who were mobilized urgently to prevent vehicles from intruding and damaging the atmosphere.

A group of Taiwanese businessmen came out, and Xin Zhao also led the entrepreneurs out of the building and came to the door to greet them.

The Taiwanese businessmen were led by three people, Mao Zhongzhang, Tai Guomei, and Cao Xingcheng.

These people didn't hesitate, and quickly crossed the road, and Xin Zhao also led people to greet them.Tai Guomei looked at Zhao Xin who was coming over, and then looked at Mao Zhongzhang and Cao Xingcheng next to him. He didn't know if the leader of the mainland business group wanted to shake hands with the three of them.

One person from the mainland shakes hands with three people from Taiwan, which to a certain extent also shows that "no one from the mainland".

At this time, Mao Zhongzhang quietly stepped back half a body. If he had been 20 years ago, he might not have had this vision, but now that he is in his 50s, he is naturally knowledgeable about the world.

Seeing this, Zhao Xin quickly walked two steps, came to Mao Zhongzhang, and directly took Mao Zhongzhang's hand: "You are Mr. Mao Zhongzhang, the dean of the Technology Research Institute, I have heard of him in the science and technology industry. Your name."

"Chairman Zhao is the famous one, I'm just a nobody." Mao Zhongzhang also said.

The two held hands and chatted. This scene was photographed by reporters and will become an iconic scene in the history of Chinese business.

After letting go, Tai Guomei's hand was already preparing.

Zhao Xin also stretched out his hand, but the next moment Tai Guomei's expression became embarrassed, and Cao Xingcheng's expression became even more gloomy.

Because Xin Zhao stretched out his hand to signal to everyone: "Everyone, the Xinghai Building is ready, let's go in together!"

"Okay, okay." The Taiwanese businessman said nothing, but the entrepreneurs brought by Xin Zhao agreed.

"Let's go in." Mao Zhongzhang walked first, and the three of them led the team, but Zhao Xin's actions just now clearly meant that Mao Zhongzhang was leading the team alone.

Cao Xingcheng and Tai Guomei looked at each other and understood each other's intentions. They suppressed their unhappiness and followed them in.

Entering the Xinghai Building, you will first see two altars. The one on the left is the tablet of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors, and a pig's head is placed on the altar.On the right are various statues of gods, and on the offering table are fresh fruits and delicacies.

Zhao Xin and Mao Zhongzhang led the team and led everyone to worship the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The Taiwanese businessmen were very cooperative.

When worshiping, it is natural for a ritual officer to read the sacrificial inscriptions.

The ceremonial officer recited:
Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi, and Zhuanxu created the civilization of the Chinese nation, blessed the prosperity of our country, made great contributions to all generations, and spread their virtues to all people.Today, I use the ritual of Tailao to worship the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the founders of humanities of our Chinese nation, hoping to pray for the prosperity of our Chinese nation, the peace of our country and the peace of our people.

Fuxi ruled China and began to draw the Eight Diagrams, make books and deeds, and knot ropes for governance, which made the Chinese nation move from ignorance to civilization.Shen Nong sown grain, pioneered farming, and taught people to boil the sea for salt and hunt for food. This enabled the Chinese nation to move from fishing and hunting to farming, creating an agricultural civilization in the history of the Chinese nation.Huangdi Xuanyuan...

The already quite simplified worship process took more than ten minutes.

Then everyone came to the locations of many statues of gods.

At this moment, Cao Xingcheng and Guo Taiming stood aside, separated from the big team.

Zhao Xin was not surprised when he saw this. He looked at the crowd and said: "I almost forgot, we emphasize freedom of belief. Some people believe in Taoism and gods, some believe in Buddha, Bodhisattva and Mazu, and some believe in Christ. Everyone is free to worship at this stage. But. Xinghai Group aims at the sea of ​​stars. I need to worship Mazu and ask for her blessing."

After finishing speaking, Xin Zhao came to Mazu. A staff member had already lit incense beside him. Xin Zhao took it, bowed and put it on.

Then everyone worshiped Mazu, and most of the Taiwanese businessmen offered a stick of incense to Mazu.

Even Tai Guomei is no exception in this regard. After all, this is a public place with reporters. If he does not offer incense to Mazu, rumors will spread to Taiwan that the chairman of Haihong Group does not believe in Mazu. This will affect His faith in the hearts of the people of Taiwan.

After the worship, the time had reached 10:30, and Zhao Xin immediately led everyone to the specially prepared conference room on the first floor.

Here, Taiwanese businessmen will have various exchanges with mainland businessmen, whether on business ideas or understanding of the future, etc.

Naturally, reporters are indispensable here, but the content of the conversations here must be approved before being published.

At the beginning of this session, Cao Xingcheng took the microphone and looked at Zhao Xindi: "Chairman Zhao of Xinghai Group."

Xin Zhao nodded, indicating that Cao Xingcheng could continue to speak.

"We Taiwanese businessmen came to the mainland for a business inspection. There were three people leading the team. Cao Xingcheng, the chairman of Donglian Electronics, Tai Guomei, the chairman of Haihong Group, and Mr. Mao Zhongzhang, the director of the research institute. To be honest, you just The behavior of ignoring the two of us outside the door made me realize what etiquette is."

When Cao Xingcheng said this, he looked around. The reporters recorded his words. He looked at Zhao Xin and said, "I hope you can apologize."

As soon as Cao Xingcheng said these words, the already quiet conference room became audible.

They are all waiting for Xin Zhao's response, or to see how Xin Zhao responds.

After all, Xinghai Group is the largest among all current companies, but other entrepreneurs cannot compare with Taiwanese businessmen.

How will the chairman of the Xinghai Group of such size respond to the situation where there is only one handshake at the gate.

"Mr. Cao, I don't know that there are three people leading the team. Are these three people recommended by you?" Zhao Xin asked.

Cao Xingcheng was stunned when he heard this, frowned slightly and said: "Our trip this time was officially approved, and the person leading the team was also officially recognized. However, Mr. Tai Guomei and I are both outstanding businessmen. If you don't agree with the official recognition , then pretend I didn’t say what I said before.”

"This guy is really bad." Zhao Yueyue frowned and glared at this guy.What he said just now obviously blocked the official statement.If Xin Zhao says that he does not agree with the official determination, then he firstly does not agree with the Taiwanese official, and secondly, he may not agree with the official decision.

"Cao Xingcheng, fellow Taiwanese businessmen and mainland entrepreneurs." Xin Zhao looked at the crowd and said, "Xinghai Group is the host of today's gathering. You all saw the process yesterday. Today's theme is business Talkative."

"China is a country of etiquette. I shook hands with Mr. Mao Zhongzhang, firstly out of etiquette, and secondly because he is engaged in technology. Science and technology guide the future of mankind and are also where business opportunities lie, whether from the perspective of human destiny or corporate strategy. , I maintain the best goodwill towards Mr. Mao Zhongzhang. In other words, I should shake hands with Mr. Mao Zhongzhang in both public and private matters."

"As for Cao Xingcheng, the chairman of Donglian Electronics. I originally thought you were a polite person, but now it seems that you are not. If I were not the host, I would probably kick you out."

"No need to blast, I'll go by myself." Cao Xingcheng took the microphone and said directly.

"It's better to leave than see you off." Xin Zhao refused to give in.

Cao Xingcheng did not leave immediately, but turned his attention to the Taiwanese businessmen present.

Tai Guomei shook her head slightly towards him, which made Cao Xingcheng frown. Although a few people followed him to leave, most of them chose to stay.

Cao Xingcheng glanced at Zhao Xin again, his heart sank when he saw the eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he immediately walked out.

When Cao Xingcheng walked to the door, he heard Zhao Xin speaking: "Everyone, it is difficult to talk about business. You have just seen it. I hope that everyone can speak freely next. Now let my daughter describe the sea of ​​​​stars." The business vision in the eyes of the group.”

When Cao Xingcheng heard this, his steps became chaotic and he almost fell down the steps.

This scene was filmed by reporters who followed closely.
