Let you go undercover, not let you be arrogant enough to be a boss

Chapter 350: Feeling like old friends at first sight, Shipping Empire
When it comes to holding on to favor, Zhang Xiao is definitely extremely proficient.

However, this also depends on the person’s order.

It would be too cheap for Song Shichang to offset this huge favor with a mere share of new information.

What's more, Song Shichang's character is indeed not bad, and he has the resources to deal with senior officials, so he can definitely deal with it.

When Song Shichang heard what Zhang Yao said, he quickly expressed his position: "How could it be? Zhang Sheng is the most outstanding young talent I have ever seen. I haven't had time to appreciate him. How could I miss Zhang Sheng so much? This is just a way of expressing my feelings. Zhang Sheng must not think too much."

Zhang Xiao said noncommittally: "Then what Song Sheng means is that he looks down on my origin, doesn't want to be associated with me, and wants to cut ties with me as soon as possible?"

Song Shichang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Zhang Sheng's words are wrong. When I make friends with people, I never look at their background, only care about their character. Just like drinking depends on the person, drink with someone who is worthy of drinking, even if it is just Just sitting on the side of the road and drinking the cheapest wine is endless fun. On the contrary, if the other person is different from you and does not agree with you, even drinking the most expensive wine in the world will be boring. Zhang Sheng is my opinion He is the most unique and capable young talent in my life. I am happy to make friends with him before it is too late, so how can I discriminate against Zhang Sheng’s background?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the manager seemed to be ordering him and brought him a glass of red wine.

"Is there any liquor?"

Zhang Xiao asked.

The manager was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Sorry, our restaurant only stores red wine."

"Go out and buy two bottles and bring them back."

Song Shichang ordered.

"Six bottles."

Zhang Xiao said.

"Then six bottles."

Song Shichang nodded.

The manager nodded hurriedly and turned around to run errands.

"Zhang Sheng, I didn't expect that our hobbies are so similar. To be honest, I prefer drinking white wine to drinking red wine. However, there are many occasions where I have to go out with the public and drink red wine and foreign wine."

Song Shichang said with a smile.

Zhang Xiao didn't think the compliment he said was complimentary.

With such a close relationship with the mainland, he must often socialize in the wine-table culture.

In the Mainland, the highest standard of hospitality alcohol is none other than liquor.

After drinking too much white wine, people who know wine will not say that they disdain red wine and foreign wine, but they will always feel that compared with white wine, red wine and foreign wine lack a certain strength, and the more you drink, the more mellow and the more difficult it is to drink. The taste of abandonment.

In this state, people want to continue drinking after drinking too much, which is commonly known as chasing alcohol.

"Actually, tracing back to three or five generations, whose ancestors are not mud-legged? My grandfather just happened to be lucky enough to earn some family business in troubled times. In my father's generation, because of his unique vision, he was able to turn the family business into something more. Expanding, and then with the glory of the Song family, it is my generation's turn. I have meager abilities, and it is already good to be able to hold on to the family business, so who do I have to look down on anyone?"

Song Shichang felt this and spoke out.

In the end, he was too modest in his evaluation of himself.

Zhang Xiao knew what he meant, so he smiled and said: "Song Sheng is too humble. Who in the business world and politics does not know Song Sheng's famous name? In fact, whether it is the shadow of his ancestors or his own efforts, it is a kind of success. Some times when consequentialism matters.”

Song Shichang nodded in agreement and said: "You are right, but if you rely on your own efforts to reach a certain level of glory, or even the top of a mountain, the feeling of being at the top of the mountain and seeing all the small mountains at a glance is incomprehensible to ordinary people."

After a pause, he looked directly at Zhang Arao and said: "So, after learning about all Zhang Sheng's achievements, I deeply admire him! The so-called heroes don't ask about their origins. Decades later, how many people really understand What has Zhang Sheng experienced today? Furthermore, it sounds ugly, but it is natural. Only the one who succeeds and loses is the one who is qualified to tamper with history and erase the corresponding traces. What does Zhang Sheng think? "

"Can I take Song Sheng's words as encouragement and instigation?"

Zhang Xiao joked with a smile.

Song Shichang smiled and said: "If Zhang Sheng can really create an impossible possibility, then I, Song Shichang, will definitely be remembered in history for his instigation and encouragement!"

Zhang Xiao laughed.

The manager was very efficient and quickly bought back six bottles of Yanghe Daqu, which was ridiculously expensive in the local area but well-known to all. Then he also bought back two five-cent white wine glasses.

Almost at the same time, the dishes he ordered were served one after another.

There are everything running on the ground, flying in the sky, and swimming in the water. They are all full of color, fragrance and flavor. You can tell at a glance that they are worth a lot of money.

Song Shichang opened a bottle himself, filled two glasses, handed one to Zhang Xiao, then raised the glass and said: "This glass of wine, first of all, I would like to disrespect Mr. Zhang for his kindness to me, but first of all, I would like to express my gratitude for our chatting so well!"

Zhang Xiao happily raised his glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

"Second glass of wine, let's pay tribute to Zhang Sheng for his help."

Song Shichang filled two glasses and toasted again.

Zhang Xiao nodded with a smile and drank it down again.

"This third cup, it's my fault for saying the wrong thing just now, I'm punishing myself!"

Song Shichang raised his glass apologetically.

Zhang Xiao interrupted him and said, "That's not possible. By doing this, isn't Song Sheng cheating?"

As he said that, he took the initiative to clink glasses with Song Shichang and drank the wine first.

Song Shichang was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter and said: "A thousand cups of wine is too little to meet a close friend! Haha, I recognized Zhang Sheng as my friend today! It just so happens that I haven't been drunk for a long time, so let's see if Zhang Sheng can make me drunk." stop!"

After that, he drank the wine in the glass generously.

Zhang Xiao took the wine bottle, filled it for him and said, "I'm afraid that Song Sheng will avoid hearing the word "wine" in the future!"

"Ha ha."

Song Shichang couldn't help but laugh and said: "I have been in the wine shop for so many years, and only a handful of people can drink me down. Today I want to see Zhang Sheng's ability!"

Tooyoungtoosimple!
Gong Wei and Tian Yangsheng thought the same way.

However, Brother Xiao is very angry, and the consequences will be serious!

"I'm a little older than you, so you don't mind if I call you Ah Xiao? I feel unfamiliar when I always call you Zhang Sheng Zhang Sheng! How about you call me Brother Chang too?"

Song Shichang was in a good mood.

"I'm extremely happy! Brother Chang, come on, I won't put you down today, I'll change the word "Zhao" to "Zhao"!

Zhang Xiao laughed.

Song Shichang readily accepted the challenge.

A shout of Brother Chang, a shout of Ah Xiao, coupled with the culture of the wine table and the congenial conversation between the two, quickly narrowed the distance between them.

Soon, a bottle of Yanghe Daqu quickly disappeared amid the endless chatter.

Neither of them was drunk at all, so they opened the second bottle.

"To be honest, Ah Xiao, you are the most special young man I have ever seen. If I hadn't seen you so young, I would have thought you were some old fox who put on makeup on purpose to tease me. The key is, your conversational skills are really... It's not what you should behave at your age, and even some of your opinions make me feel ashamed when I think about it." After Song Shichang and Zhang Xiao had another drink, they suddenly said with emotion.

Zhang Xiao shrugged and said, "That's probably because I didn't drink Meng Po soup when I crossed the Naihe Bridge, so I brought back the experiences and memories of my previous life."

To be honest, with Song Shichang's outstanding family background, he was naturally rich in various insights and experiences.

But what's rare is that Song Shichang's three views are relatively correct, and he is knowledgeable and has a wide range of knowledge. Even if Zhang Xiao uses some experiences of later generations to explain his views, Song Shichang can answer the words and even make far-reaching remarks on it. A perspective beyond this era.

This is enough to prove that the Song family can continue to be glorious after the death of Song Shichang's father, and even reach a higher level. It is by no means accidental, but inevitable.

With Song Shichang's conduct and outstanding talents, even if he did not have a prominent family background, he could still create a career of his own in the rough.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Song Shichang naturally didn't know that Zhang Yao had such a high opinion of him. After hearing Zhang Yao's nonsense, he couldn't help laughing and said: "That proves that Meng Po knows people well and knows that you are the one who will end this." The hero of troubled times!"

Zhang Xiao smiled and couldn't bear the flattery, so he could only raise a toast.

After finishing the cup, Song Shichang brought up the past and said, "Ah Xiao, what I said just now, giving you the shares of New Information, is not a charity, but my sincere gratitude."

Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said with the utmost hypocrisy: "I never care about free gifts. Let's do this. I will buy your shares of New Information at the market price, and then I will give you a big gift in return."

"Okay! Whatever you say will be done! I will instruct people to prepare a share transfer contract now!"

Song Shichang was not a mother-in-law, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and asked someone to draw up a contract and send it over.

Zhang Xiao laughed dumbly, and at the same time he admired Song Shichang's crispness.

Perhaps, this is one of the advantages of Song Shichang's success today.

"By the way, you just said you would give me a big gift. What kind of gift was it?"

After Song Shichang put down his phone, he remembered the last words Zhang Xiao had just said and asked curiously.

Zhang Xiao said: "As far as I know, your Song family's business territory also includes terminal freight and container business, right?"

Song Shichang nodded and said: "It does exist, and the scale is pretty decent."

"How does it compare with Zhou Jianyun?"

Zhang Xiao asked meaningfully.

"Asian shipping king Zhou Jianyun?"

Song Shichang's eyes flashed and he asked in a positive tone.

"Yes, it's him!"

Zhang Xiao nodded.

"Our Song family's terminal freight and container business cannot compare with his. After all, this is where he started his business, and it is also his core business."

Song Shichang said frankly.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Is Brother Chang interested in expanding the terminal freight and container business, even to the point of monopoly?"

Song Shichang heard Xian Zhiya's intention and immediately understood: "You and Zhou Jianyun have already cooperated?"

Zhang Xiao smiled and nodded: "I plan to build a shipping empire that is second to none in the world! Zhou Jianyun is now my only partner for the time being! If Brother Chang is interested, we can build this empire together that is not too far away!"

Song Shichang was so excited when he heard that he even dissipated his drunkenness, and said with emotion: "What a terrible young man! I originally thought that you monopolized the minibus company in East Tsim Sha Tsui, and you were far-sighted. I never thought that you had a more magnificent sea of ​​stars in your heart!" To be honest, after I learned about your monopoly on the minibus company, I thought for a while before I figured out the reason! Logically speaking, people in your industry would not choose the minibus business even if they wanted to clear their name. , so I was wondering, what are your plans! Then, I finally realized that you want to monopolize, you want to control transportation and public transportation by yourself, and from now on, you will not use any other means to control transportation and public transportation. The minibus is enough to make you invincible. No one dares to touch you! Awesome! Ah Xiao, don’t be offended when I say it. Do you know, it’s because I have analyzed you? , I just invited you to meet and see how amazing young people with such great ambitions are, but it turns out that I still thought of you too simply!"

Zhang Xiao accepted his praise calmly.

Of course, he would not resent Song Shichang's analysis and testing of him.

Without corresponding talents, it is equivalent to waste with little use value.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

This world has always been inhabited by capable people.

In the same way, a capable person must associate with a capable person.

Even if he doesn't discriminate against mediocre people and can interact peacefully, it will never be possible to imagine that there are too many common topics between the two.

Song Shichang seemed to have dry mouth after talking, or maybe he was so excited that he wanted to drink. He actually poured three glasses in a row. After drinking alone, he took a long breath and said: "Ah Xiao, this gift you gave me" , I took it shamelessly!"

Zhang Xiao smiled and nodded: "Then I invite Zhou Jianyun to come over now so that we can discuss important matters together?"

"it is good!"

Song Shichang nodded.

Zhang Xiao then dialed Zhou Jianyun's number, said a few words briefly, then hung up and said to Song Shichang, "We'll be there in 10 minutes."

Song Shichang said with a smile on his face: "Then should we stop for a while and wait for him to come over, or should we continue?"

"Then it depends on whether Brother Chang has the power to succeed?"

Zhang Xiao joked.

"Ha, you brat is so arrogant, I must put you down today!"

Song Shichang shook his head and laughed. After pointing at him, he raised his glasses passionately.

By the time Zhou Jianyun arrived, the second bottle of wine had quietly bottomed out.

Song Shichang's face was slightly drunk, but his eyes were extremely clear, and he obviously still had a lot of energy left.

The old fried dough sticks who have experienced ups and downs in the wine shop are indeed unfathomable.

From the chat just now, Zhang Xiao also learned that Song Shichang had personal shares in Cointreau Hotel. No wonder he, who has always been low-key, would attend such an occasion.

"Uncle Zhou, I don't need to introduce Brother Chang, right?"

As a middleman, Zhang Xiao acted as a bridge of communication.

Zhou Jianyun and Song Shichang both looked at each other and smiled.

With their emotional intelligence and sophisticated wine table culture, coupled with Zhang Xiao's connection in the middle, they quickly became happy and harmonious.

"No wonder this guy wanted to buy six bottles of wine. It turned out to be a premeditated plan! I thought he was deliberately trying to knock me down!"

While they were drinking and chatting, Song Shichang pointed at Zhang Xiao and complained.

Zhang Xiao raised his head slightly and smiled: "Brother Chang, you are drunk today! But now we have to add Uncle Zhou, a close friend!"
