When he rushed all the way from Sioux City to Asami City, it was still half an hour before the afternoon opening.
Li Jin was eating when he received a report from downstairs that a man named Ding Zhen wanted to see him.
Su Wanqing is still in Hong Kong City, and no one will send him a love lunch anymore, so Li Jin can only eat a work meal prepared by the five-star hotel's chef team with Wei Yan and the others.
Li Jin, who was picking and choosing and looking dissatisfied, said without raising his head: "Let him come up and come directly here."
A few minutes later, under the guidance of the staff, Ding Zhen appeared in front of Li Jin.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Although there have been some contradictions and conflicts between each other, in Li Jin's view, everyone is an adult, and there is no such thing as personal grudges. They are all just for profit.
Now that the matter at that time has been resolved and each other's interests have been compromised, there is nothing to argue about.
When you come, if you want to talk, sit down and talk. If you don’t have anything to talk, just have a meal and then break up.
In the adult world, there are not so many grudges and hatreds.
“I came here in a hurry on the way, so I really didn’t eat anything.”
Ding Zhen was not polite and said directly.
"What should I do? My meals are all rationed, but I haven't prepared your portion." Li Jin said.
After saying that, looking at Ding Zhen's stunned and embarrassed look, Li Jin laughed and said: "Of course I'm joking with you. Since the guests are here, if you don't have them, we'll make them fresh, right? Sit down."
Ding Zhen sat down opposite Li Jin, gritting his teeth secretly.
Just such a small so-called joke caused him to lose the opportunity to compete with Li Jin for the initiative.
This is not a good sign.
At the same time, Ding Zhen was secretly frightened.
Li Jin's city is deeper than when they were in contact a few months ago.
Soon, sumptuous and delicious dishes were served. Ding Zhen also picked up his chopsticks. After taking a few bites, he saw that Li Jin had no intention of speaking. He sighed, put down his chopsticks and said, "Li Jin."
Mr. Li, I’m sure you know why I’m here this time.”
"I don't like to guess, I like to say something."
Li Jin wiped his mouth and took a look at the time. After this obvious hint, he said to Ding Zhen with a smile: "The market will open in the afternoon in 20 minutes. I don't have much time to spend with you."
Ding Zhen gritted his teeth slightly, then looked at Li Jin and said, "Okay, I'll get straight to the point."
"In the market this morning, the Huizhou merchant faction suffered heavy losses. In addition to the textile industry, other industries suffered huge losses. More than 60% of the listed companies belonging to the Huizhou merchant faction directly fell to the limit. According to this situation
If this continues, Huizhou merchants will not be able to sustain it for long, so I was entrusted by others to ask Mr. Li for help."
"Entrusted by someone?"
Li Jin asked with a smile: "Is it Hu Taidou, or someone else?"
"Not my grandpa."
Ding Zhen shook his head. At this time, of course he wanted to pick off Hu Taidou completely.
"My grandfather has been retired for many years, and in the past two years, he has hardly cared about the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. In his words, even if he has worked hard all his life, it is time to enjoy the happiness and not want to care about so many things.
.”
Li Jin said with a half-smile: "I remember Mr. Hu said the same thing when I first met him, but in the end, if there are any major issues in the Chamber of Commerce, shouldn't he still have to decide?"
"I can't help it. After all, grandpa is still here. If something big happens, it's hard for the Chamber of Commerce to make decisions without authorization. But grandpa basically won't express any opinions. The people below can do whatever they think is good. After all, grandpa can't control them.
For life, right?"
"Well, that makes sense."
Li Jin said: "You said you wanted me to help you, but this matter is not easy."
"You should know very well that the reason why listed companies in the textile industry have not suffered much losses is because Jinqing is protecting their stocks. I don't need to say more about the reasons why we chose textile companies."
"Textile companies are a relatively important part of the current domestic light industry system. Most of the upstream and downstream companies with large output value have a wide range of influence, so I can only choose to keep the textile industry."
"As for other industries, I also want to protect them, but my ability is really limited. You have to know that in the morning alone, Jin Qing's small capital chain was almost drained, not to mention that Wall Street capital has a total of 120 billion.
The U.S. dollars are lying there, and if they want to destroy these industries at all costs, Jinqing will have difficulty protecting itself, let alone others."
"Mr. Li."
Ding Zhen followed Li Jin's words and said: "I understand the truth, but everyone is an adult and understands. Jin Qing is not a listed company. Even if it is affected, it will only be affected at the last link."
"When other listed companies are almost dead and the industry is in overall decline and the economy is in recession, then Jin Qing will really be affected. And Jin Qing's own deterrent power is there, so Mr. Li, do you need to worry about yourself?"
"Of course I came here this time to ask Mr. Li for help for those members of Huizhou merchants, but why not give Mr. Li a chance?"
"Oh? Give me a chance?"
Li Jin was happy and said with a smile: "Listen to what you have to say?"
"Everyone knows that Mr. Li and the Huizhou merchants will not deal with it. If the Huizhou merchants are finished at this juncture, what will outsiders think of you, Mr. Li? Is this a different kind of revenge, deliberately standing by and watching?"
"In the economic forum held by President Li before, the words of everyone uniting to resist foreign enemies are still ringing in our ears. Now that something like this has happened, it is quite chilling."
"If people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team, Mr. Li, don't you think so?"
Ding Zhen's words made Li Jin narrow his eyes slightly, and the smile on his face gradually faded. He said calmly: "Are you threatening me?"
Ding Zhen was horrified.
He raised his head and looked at Li Jin, who was sitting opposite him across a dining table, feeling shocked and regretful.
At this moment, he remembered that the Li Jin in front of him was no longer the original Li Jin. Even the original Li Jin was definitely not someone he could threaten.
I thought of many things to say along the way, but I forgot to speak with Li Jin. I must pay attention to propriety.
Ding Zhen, who was troubled in his heart, hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I didn't mean that."
"Whether that's what you mean, you've already said it. It's not just your opinion."
Li Jin looked at Ding Zhen and sneered: "If Mr. Hu thinks that I, Li Jin, are not good enough, then I'll ask him to come out and take the lead. As long as he nods, I, Li Jin, will hand over all this immediately."
he."
"Do you really think I want to do this thankless job?"
