The years of red flags

Two days later, at Chang'an Club.

Jiang Hua, Rong Zhengen and the boss of China Resources were sitting in a private room tasting wine. This was not a Lafite from 1982. It was simply a thing used by people who didn’t know how to pretend to understand to show their identity. It was used by movies and TV series They're all used so badly.

"If I had known that Boss Jiang had such good wine, I would have made friends with you all morning."

In order to make friends with the boss of China Resources, Jiang Hua specially took a bottle of Cheval Blanc Chateau Conti 47 years old from his collection.

Jiang Hua shook the red wine glass and said with a smile: "I don't remember where this bottle of wine came from. It was probably given to me by Mr. Huo. Anyway, the wine I buy is basically from the 1980s." Mr. Huo and the others are keen on buying some out-of-print wines at high prices at auctions, but I don’t have this habit of taking advantage of others.”

"This is the benefit of having many friends. I look forward to being friends with you. You can also give me a bottle of red wine like this one day."

"Okay, but you have to check it out in my wine cabinet." Jiang Hua laughed loudly: "I can't be careless about the red wine I gave you. It must be top quality."

"Then I'm looking forward to it." Boss Song from China Resources said with a smile: "Boss Jiang is also a well-known and rich man. If the wine delivered is bad, I will laugh."

Rong Zhengen nodded: "Yes, this guy has a lot of good wine. He gave our old man seventy or eighty years of rice wine, authentic Huadiao."

"There is still such a good thing, so I don't want red wine. Give me a jar of eighty-year-old rice wine. I will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and give them to my old man."

"Boss Song, this is nothing." Jiang Hua smiled and patted his thigh: "I invited you here today because I want to get to know you, and secondly, I want to do business with you."

Boss Song said happily: "It's an honor for me to do business with the world's richest man. I don't know what Boss Jiang has to take care of."

Rong Zhengen said with a smile: "You guys are really straightforward. You just talk about business when you come up. Why don't you lay the groundwork first?"

Boss Song said with a smile: "Let's finish talking about this first, while everyone is drunk. When everyone drinks too much, what they said will not count."

Jiang Hua nodded in agreement: "Then I'll tell you the truth. I want all the Nanfu shares held by your company's Pfaff Company. I heard that Pfaff Company has encountered difficulties recently and wants to sell some of Nanfu's shares. Once it is in the hands of foreign capital, we will completely lose our controlling stake in Nanfu Company."

"When we first took over the shares, we were in the minority." Boss Song sighed: "Later, they sought help from foreign capital and wanted to go public. We couldn't stop them. Since Boss Jiang needs it, I'll give it all to you. It's best if we can The shares held by foreign investors have also been taken back. How can a good company like our flower grower fall into the hands of foreign investors?"

"happy."

Boss Song quickly said: "It's fun to have fun, but the money you should pay is not a lot. We will not do a loss-making business."

"Money problems are just minor problems." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Now probably people all over the world know that I am so poor that all I have left is money."

"Oh, how painful it is for Boss Jiang." Boss Song said with a smile: "Speaking of which, your company's business has nothing to do with batteries, so why do you want to buy a battery company?"

"My research institute has been researching and exploring new energy." Jiang Hua explained: "The energy track will definitely change in the future. Fossil energy is not the best choice. We are laying out the future."

"I can't blame Boss Jiang for being the richest man in the world." Boss Song said with admiration: "This is a long-term vision. Your plan will be at least twenty years from now."

"It's only ten years at most." Jiang Hua shook his head: "Nowadays, Westerners don't always attack us with environmental issues. Although they are bad and stupid, we still have to prepare for a rainy day." "Boss Jiang has such a long-term vision, then I also want to give my brothers some advice. In the future competition in the new energy industry, what can we, China Resources, do?"

"Your China Resources family has a big business and can do a lot more than me." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "How about you buy more lithium mines around the world. In the future, most new energy batteries will use lithium as raw material. , and my country’s lithium reserves are not abundant.”

"Contract a mine and be a mine owner." Boss Song said with a smile: "These days, it's not just ordinary people who can be mine owners."

"If you can really hold a few mines in your hands, you will be lying at home counting money in ten or twenty years."

Rong Zhengen patted Jiang Hua's thigh: "You are not interesting enough. If you don't tell me such a good thing, I just like to lie at home and count money."

Jiang Hua asked with a smile: "South America has the richest reserves, but these countries are not very stable. Are you sure you can control them through private contracting?"

Rong Zhengen leaned back on the sofa: "What can't be suppressed? As long as you have money, you can suppress anything."

"Don't talk so much." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "When everyone discovers the importance of lithium mines in the future, it is the back garden of Chou Country. If people are jealous of your lithium mines, you can definitely keep it."

"If I can't keep it, can China Resources keep it?"

"Can you compare with China Resources? You are a private person. What kind of existence is China Resources?"

"In the final analysis, it's a matter of bullying the weak and fearing the strong." Rong Zhengen said mockingly: "Don't say it, ugly countrymen can do this."

"To be precise, for money, they will do anything scandalous." Jiang Hua raised his glass: "This is the face of capitalists."

"Why do I feel like you are talking about yourself?" Rong Zhengen pointed at Jiang Hua and said with a smile, "You are now the most successful capitalist in the world."

"I am called a technological upstart, and you are a capitalist. Your family used to be called capitalists." Jiang Hua laughed loudly: "This is a settled matter, and you actually come to laugh at me."

"You are just laughing at the same time. No matter what, I can't be a middleman today for nothing. You gave Boss Song an idea for a lithium mine, so today you must give me an idea for a new energy source, otherwise I won’t let you go, you know, there is a commission for being a middleman.”

"Are you still relying on me?" Jiang Hua laughed loudly: "I have known you all my life. I am unlucky. I don't know how many good ideas to make a fortune. You have plagiarized them all."

"I didn't do it for free. I made money, didn't you?"

Jiang Hua nodded: "Without you, kid, I wouldn't have become a capitalist."

"Stop talking nonsense and give me some advice now. I want a good way to make money while lying down." Rong Zhengen said with a smile: "You can't make less than Boss Song, otherwise I will be unhappy."

"Dream, is there anything in this world that can be obtained for nothing?"
