When Cheng Xu descended the hill, he didn't know if it was because he was too slippery or because of his lack of concentration. He stepped on the empty foot, and then he rolled down and threw a chevron on the thick snow before finally stopping. .
The nose hurt a bit and the ankle seemed to be twisted. Cheng Xu took a breath, his face was cold, numb and uncomfortable. He slowly got up, wiped the snow on his face, then lowered his head and patted the snow particles on his body, before limping into the snowmobile to go home.
The day after they got home was already dark, and their house was lit with yellow lights. Cheng Xu parked the car and just opened the door when he heard joyous sounds inside. He took off his jacket and continued to walk inside. After entering the reception room, he saw several middle-aged and elderly people in their 60s and 70s sitting together and chatting with melon seeds. Cheng Zheng was among them. He probably drank a little wine and looked red. Yes, the eyes are a little shiny. Cheng Xu greeted the neighbors and looked at his father again, "Dad, have you eaten today?"
Cheng Zheng said: "I've eaten, I'll save you dinner, go and eat." After he answered, he resumed the previous topic. After listening to Cheng Xu for a while, he realized that Cheng Zheng was telling his neighbors that he was in the business sea before. story. He used to be very good at speech and had a good storytelling ability. Others seemed to listen with gusto. Not only did he have the right harmony, but his eyes were also shining brightly.
Cheng Xu closed the door gently and walked into the kitchen.
There is a heating system in the house, but it is not very warm. The temperature is maintained at about ten degrees, but it is comfortable enough compared to the icy and snowy outside.
Neither father nor son can cook, Cheng Xu opened the lid and saw a nutritious soup inside without any suspense, and it was still potato-flavored. Probably because it has been hot for a little longer, the original appearance is even worse. Even if Cheng Xu is hungry, he doesn't have much appetite when he sees such a thing.
But it must be eaten, otherwise, the basic nutritional needs cannot be maintained at all.
Carrying the plate into his room, Cheng Xu sat in front of the table, eating the nutritious soup and turning on the computer while connecting. The computer starts up fast, but the connection speed is surprisingly slow. The nutritional soup is almost half eaten before the signal finally connects successfully. Cheng Xu tapped the keyboard skillfully, logged onto one of his accounts, and sent a message to a friend in the list.
He has met many people before, and almost all of them are outstanding talents from all walks of life. The architect Tang Ge is one of them. He is not at the top in this industry, and his reputation is not particularly strong, but Cheng Xu knows that it will be sooner or later that he will become famous all over the world. The reason why he has not reached the top is because he is not enough age and qualifications.
The other party expressed surprise at his sudden contact and sent several messages in succession. After confirming that Cheng Xu was still alive, he sent several happy expressions. After the greeting, Cheng Xu directly stated why he was looking for him, and asked more bluntly: "I need your help now. Would you like to come?"
After ten seconds, Tang Ge replied: "Yes!"
Cheng Xu lightly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Ge arrived a week later, the chief designer's problem was solved, and the most difficult thing left was the funding problem.
Ma Liu looked a little frustrated, he said: "We have already sent a request for assistance to the neighboring star leaders, but they have all been tactfully rejected."
Cheng Xu was a little surprised, "They were all rejected?"
Ma Liu nodded, and he was a little embarrassed and said: "Big Brother Cheng, you may not know, because 80 years ago, the reputation of the geothermal planet fell to the bottom, and everyone saw us as criminals or violent frenzy."
"Have you slaughtered a long-haired horse to get its fur eighty years ago? I heard it." Cheng Xu paused, and quickly said again: "Since the outside is not possible, then we can borrow from the people, or we can invest in stocks. Way to participate."
Ma Liu was startled, and said: "People on our planet are generally poor..."
"Try it, I'll draw up the investment promotion leaflet, and then you will post it."
Ma Liu saw his earnest look, and quickly lifted up his spirits and said, "Okay!"
After the investment promotion leaflet was released, Tang Ge had a new idea. He felt that he could involve the people around him. There are many houses on the geothermal planet. According to statistics, the average number of people living in a family is two and a half, and the houses are all the same double-storey wooden buildings. There are many rooms and every family has hot spring pools, so they can be made into small houses. The spa "hotel". When this idea came out, Cheng Xu's eyes brightened, and he also thought it was a good idea.
Five days later, the leaflet they released finally had an effect, and the first person who wanted to invest was ushered in the office.
Ma Liu, the second-in-command of a planet, was almost as happy when he heard that the other party had the willingness to invest. He quickly invited people into the house, pouring tea and serving refreshments, carefully looking at the other party’s After the facial features, he was a little puzzled, "You look familiar, have we met?"
The visitor was about 60 or 70 years old. After he took off his coat, there was a suit that looked very good, and his hair was meticulously combed. When he laughed, he was also very reserved and calm, with a low and sweet tone, he said: "I have come to your inauguration ceremony."
Maru was suddenly stunned, then smiled shyly, and asked: "How do I call you?"
The other party smiled and said, "Just call me Li'an."
When Ma Liu heard the name, he was slightly startled, and soon became even more surprised, "So you are Mr. Li'an, I know you, you are the person in charge of the largest hotel on our planet."
Hearing the words "biggest hotel", Cheng Xu felt a little uncomfortable. When he heard Li'an say that he was indeed the person in charge of the Sunny Hotel, the subtlety fell on the ground and his mood became complicated. Ma Liu, of course, did not notice the slight changes in his emotions, and was still very excited and said: "So you want to invest in the government's new planned industry, right? That's really great." He said that he was going to get detailed investment. Intent document, Cheng Xu gently stopped him.
He looked at the elegant middle-aged man and asked, "May I ask if you intend to invest this time...Do you represent an individual? Or is it representative of Sunny Hotel Company?"
Rian met his gaze, and his expression was always calm. He said, "Of course it represents the Sunny Hotel Company." He added, "I am very interested in your project, and I am very optimistic about the future development, so I came here this time and decided to participate in shares."
Cheng Xu was in a mess. He couldn't believe that Yan Qi had the right to know about this matter. Although he had known before, every manager of the Sunny Hotel had considerable autonomy, not only to be arbitrary in the management of the hotel, but also Use the profit to invest in promising projects, and the profit and loss will be halved with the head office. And Yan Qi's "delegation of power" does make his managers more and more capable.
But Cheng Xu is uncertain whether it was Li'an's own decision this time, or because of Yan Qi...
Has that man already been found?
Cheng Xu hasn’t asked the next question, Ma Liu couldn’t wait to say: “Mr. Li’an, how much do you expect to invest? In fact, because you are the first private equity shareholder, we have to agree on the investment ratio together. , But we guarantee that we will give you the most favorable terms."
Li'an smiled slightly, and said, "As much as you have shortfalls in funding, I plan to invest as much. If you say this, you might understand better."
Ma Liu was stunned when he heard these words, and it took a while before he showed a surprised expression, "Really, really?"
Li'an said: "Of course it is true."
When the other party said this, Cheng Xu knew that no matter whether Yan Qi knew it or not, he couldn't refuse it anymore.
Ma Liu was a little dizzy, and after a while he cautiously said: "But... Mr. Li'an, let me tell you first, our funding gap is a bit big..."
"Sunny Company should be able to eat it." Rian said modestly.
Cheng Xu knows that he is telling the truth. Unlike the Cheng family, Yan Qi holds the real economy in his hands. The industrial chain is spread all over the world. It seems to be divided, but in fact it is tightly integrated. The wealth behind him has arrived even if the geothermal planet It is a simple matter to buy it, and this investment is really nothing for their company.
"That's great!" Ma Liu was extremely excited, and looked at Cheng Xu excitedly, "Big Brother Cheng, let's get started!"
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Xu suppressed those irrational thoughts under Ma Liu's hot gaze, and said, "Okay."
The investment contract was signed smoothly. On the second day of the signing of the contract, the Sonny Company transferred the negotiated funds. Not only that, they still have a lot of resources, and many of the equipment in the project were Li'an looking for someone. After talking about it, the price is one-third less than expected, and the quality is better than expected.
"We are really lucky!" Since signing the contract, Ma Liu was in a state of excitement. He was even more excited when he saw the continuous delivery of materials and resources, and his voice trembled. "This time The geothermal planet is really going to have a big change!"
Cheng Xu was still in a complicated mood. From the day he saw Li'an, he was waiting for Yan Qi to appear. He was embarrassed and wanted to see how Yan Qi would humiliate himself. But a month later, Yan Qi did not appear, but he was a little at a loss.
He did not breathe a sigh of relief, but rather annoyed.
He didn't believe that Yan Qi would not know about this, otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? But if the other party knew about it and didn't find it, what was the reason?
Could it be...has he already given up?
Thinking of this possibility, Cheng Xu found that his reaction was not slack, but indescribable.
"Brother Cheng, what's the matter? You seem to be worried, isn't our progress right?" Ma Liu asked nervously.
Cheng Xu shook his head and said: "Nothing is wrong. I have checked all the purchase orders carefully. No problem. I have nothing to worry about. I'm just thinking that Bingcheng should also start."
Ma Liu nodded, "Yes, I will go to the Racecourse Tribe tomorrow!"
Cheng Xu said: "Okay, but I heard that the people there are very hostile to people in other regions, so you have to be careful. If you can't persuade them, you should come back quickly and don't get too entangled."
Ma Liu looked a little solemn, he nodded, "I will."
