"You are born without education" is a common saying in Cantonese, which means that a person is uneducated. This sentence is very derogatory and is already insulting. For Zhou Hao, who has an unhealthy family, this sentence
This just hit his weak spot, and these words were very insulting to Zhou Hao's mother Yan Tong.
Zhou Hao raised his eyebrows, and his expression became increasingly sinister. Zhou Lichang, who knew Zhou Hao's details, sensed something was wrong and quickly stood up to smooth things over. He smiled at Zhou Qiyao and said, "Second uncle, Xiao Hao is still a child after all, so don't blame him.
Xiaohao, he is still your elder after all, please say sorry quickly."
The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, now that Zhou Lichang has spoken, Zhou Qiyao stopped scolding. Zhou Hao glanced at Zhou Lichang lightly, which made Zhou Lichang couldn't help but shudder in his heart. However, Zhou Hao did not give in.
His anger burst out and he said to Zhou Qiyao: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I was rude."
Zhou Qiyao turned his head and snorted. Zhou Hao ignored him and turned around to sit in the empty seat next to Zhou Lichang.
"Haha, Secretary Yan, our junior's lack of etiquette makes you laugh." Zhou Qiyao turned to the bald man and said with a smile, apparently he was apologizing to him, but in fact he was also sarcastically mocking Zhou Hao.
The one named Secretary Yan also smiled back: "It's okay, it's just a child who is not sensible."
Looking at Secretary Yan, Zhou Hao was a little confused. He was familiar with Xiangcheng City Party Committee Secretary Xiao Yu and Mayor Situ Li, but he had never seen Secretary Yan in front of him and did not know which unit he was the leader of.
Zhou Lichang looked at Zhou Hao's expressions and immediately saw Zhou Hao's doubts. He leaned into his ear and whispered in his ear: "That person is Yan Xintang, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, who has just been transferred from the Provincial Organization Department. He is in charge of education and education in Xiangcheng City.
publicity."
Zhou Hao nodded slightly. No wonder he didn't recognize him. It turned out that Yan Xintang had just been transferred to the post. The deputy secretary of the municipal party committee should be ranked third or fourth in the city, at least at the deputy department level, which can be regarded as a senior cadre.
.
Zhou Qiyao couldn't help but chat and laugh with Yan Xintang, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years. However, Zhou Qiyao didn't pay much attention to Zhou Hao and Zhou Lichang's family, and the table seemed to be divided into two worlds.
Looking at Zhou Qiyao's words, Zhou Hao guessed that he probably didn't know his true identity or the situation in his family, otherwise even if he didn't show closeness, he wouldn't scold him as unscrupulously as he did just now.
Zhou Hao glanced at Zhou Lichang next to him. Zhou Qiyao didn't know his situation. It was obviously because Zhou Lichang didn't tell him, which made Zhou Hao a little strange. But after thinking about it, he guessed the key. Although Zhou Lichang has tens of millions or even
With a net worth of hundreds of millions, he is considered one of the top richest people in Xiangcheng. However, Zhou Qiyao does not take this level of wealth seriously.
Judging from Zhou Qiyao's attitude towards Zhou Lichang's family, his attitude towards Zhou Lichang's family was not much better than that towards Zhou Hao. Zhou Lichang and the others were obviously looked down upon by Zhou Qiyao. Therefore, Zhou Lichang deliberately did not tell Zhou Qiyao about Zhou Hao's situation and let Zhou Qiyao
Zhou Qiyao collided with Zhou Hao and angered Zhou Hao. Zhou Qiyao couldn't bear to eat and walked away, and he also took a breath for himself.
Zhou Hao quickly guessed Zhou Lichang's little plan, but he didn't pay much attention to it, because Zhou Qiyao was really annoying, and Zhou Lichang's experience could be regarded as a bad thing.
Regarding Zhou Qiyao, Zhou Hao ignored their plans. As a junior, he just had to show his courtesy. And after listening to the discussion between Zhou Qiyao and Yan Xintang, Zhou Hao also knew the purpose of Zhou Qiyao's coming to Xiangcheng.
It turns out that the toy industry in Hong Kong has gone from bad to worse. Toy manufacturers from Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and other places have joined the competition. In addition, due to the impact of the financial crisis during this period, the profit of Chow Chi Yao Na Toy Company has dropped significantly.
Zhou Qiyao, who has been in the shopping mall for many years, knew that if the situation continued, his company would be eliminated sooner or later. So he set his sights on the northern mainland and planned to expand the market in mainland China.
When he returned to Xiangcheng this time, Zhou Qiyao planned to build a factory here with the help of Zhou Lichang, a local snake.
Zhou Hao secretly sneered at this, because at this time, the toy market in mainland China had been almost divided. The entire industry was basically controlled by a few toy companies in Dongguan, and those genuine high-end toys were also
With Japan, the United States and other businesses firmly in their hands, Zhou Qiyao is now targeting the mainland with his development strategy. It is already too late, and he may not even be able to make much of the difference.
As for Yan Xintang, Zhou Hao also saw through his intentions. This new secretary who parachuted down from the province had no foundation at all when he first came to report. He had no advantage over the well-established local factions such as Xiao Yu and Situ Li.
.Stand up as soon as possible
To gain a foothold, one must produce tangible results, and Zhou Qiyao's coming to Xiangcheng to invest and build a factory just gave Yan Xintang this opportunity. After achieving political achievements, Yan Xintang's development in Xiangcheng will be much smoother, and it will also pave the way for the future.
Promotion lays the foundation.
Even before Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the mainland treated Hong Kong businessmen who invested northward very favorably, and implemented many corresponding preferential policies for this purpose. At that time, Hong Kong businessmen had similar status to foreign investors, which resulted in a large number of Hong Kong businessmen
They have become domineering. Now that Hong Kong has returned to China, and since the central government has regained control of Hong Kong's sovereignty, Hong Kong businessmen have restrained themselves a lot, and those preferential policies have not been revoked.
This time, Zhou Qiyao plans to invest 500 million yuan in Xiangcheng to build the largest toy production base in China, radiating throughout China and even Southeast Asia.
An investment of 500 million yuan is already a huge amount for Xiangcheng, so Yan Xintang, who is eager to establish his prestige, will never give up this opportunity. In fact, Xiangcheng has a production base with an output value many times greater than Zhou Qiyao's investment.
That is the automobile engine production base previously invested and built by Sumitomo Group, with a total investment of tens of billions of yuan. However, this production base is directly supervised by the provincial party committee, and there is not much room for the Hong Kong city government to intervene.
Although Zhou Hao's Tongguang Catering Company built its headquarters building "Tongguang Building" in Xiangcheng, their business in Xiangcheng only accounts for a small part, and their tax contribution to Xiangcheng is not large. Therefore,
Zhou Qiyao’s investment is the largest in Xiangcheng in recent years.
Yan Xintang was very enthusiastic about Zhou Qiyao, a big benefactor. He frequently toasted to him and promised Zhou Qiyao many preferential policies, including the government laying a special national road for Zhou Qiyao's factory. Zhou Qiyao was also very interested.
This is my first time investing in the mainland. Having a senior official like Yan Xintang look after me is very beneficial to the development of my company.
Zhou Hao, however, looked on coldly at these two guys who were colluding with each other, and sneered in his heart. Zhou Qiyao never came back after leaving China when he was a child, so he had no understanding of China's official culture. Yan Xintang is indeed a senior official, the third or third person in Xiangcheng.
Fourth in command. However, he has just taken office and is in charge of
It's just education and propaganda, and the most powerful aspects of finance, economic construction, public security and health are in the hands of Xiao Yu and Situ Li. Therefore, how can Yan Xintang alone make a decision on an infrastructure project of this scale such as national highway construction? He now gives
Zhou Qiyao's promise is nothing more than a blank check.
Moreover, Zhou Qiyao's toy production base is destined to fail. If he had come here to invest ten years ago, he might have been able to occupy a place in the domestic toy market, but now that Zhou Qiyao has made such a large investment, it is really
This is a sign of eagerness for quick success.
Zhou Hao was eating the food by himself. He didn't care about Zhou Qiyao and Yan Xintang's official-business collusion. He was really hungry. Since there was a free dinner, he would eat for nothing. Anyway, Zhou Qiyao and Yan Xintang didn't take him seriously.
, there is no need to pay attention to them.
However, Zhou Hao, who was enjoying the abalone with chicken sauce, suddenly heard someone say in English: "Maria, look at that guy, he is eating from beginning to end. Doesn't he usually have nothing to eat?
?Tsk tsk, that’s no wonder. It’s probably the first time in his life that he has tasted these lobsters and abalones. Hehe, the living standards in mainland China are just fine. These lobsters and abalones are not fresh either, and are worse than what we have in Hong Kong.
Too much."
I don’t know if I thought others couldn’t understand English, but that guy’s voice was quite quiet.
Zhou Hao raised his eyes and saw that the person speaking was none other than Zhou Qiyao's grandson Zhou Zhiyi. The Maria he mentioned was obviously the Filipino maid.
The cultural level of Zhou Lichang's family is relatively low, and although Yan Xintang is a high-ranking official, he knows nothing about English, so he really didn't understand what Zhou Zhiyi said. Zhou Qiyao understood, but he didn't say anything.
Zhou Hao knows that English is almost a necessary life skill in Hong Kong, but there are also many Hong Kong people who are proud to speak English. Even when they go to China, they still speak English when facing compatriots who communicate in Chinese around them. Instead, they disdain Chinese.
To highlight his own uniqueness. Zhou Hao is extremely disgusted with this kind of guy who forgets his ancestral roots, not to mention that the person Zhou Zhiyi just laughed at was clearly himself.
I saw Zhou Hao take a sip of clear soup and then said leisurely in English: "Don't the people in Hong Kong correct their position? They are now Chinese people and no longer the Queen's dogs. They cannot correct themselves.
People in their position will end up in a very sad situation."
Zhou Hao's English fluency was much higher than Zhou Zhiyi's, which immediately stunned both Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Qiyao.
