When Su Dongsheng came back, it was already evening.
Huo Anlan had to prepare for a fashion conference in Shanghai the next day, while Huo Huanyu, on behalf of the Huo family, had to go around and socialize with some of the families he was close to.
Therefore, Li Jin ignored them and took Su Dongsheng, Su Wanqing, and Liu Jun out for dinner.
After finding a random restaurant and ordering food, Su Dongsheng said to Li Jin: "Are you busy these days?"
Li Jin smiled and said: "Young people should be busy, but I feel uncomfortable when I have no time."
Su Dongsheng smiled and said: "Men at your age should really focus more on their careers. That's how I came here. Don't worry, I will take care of other things for you."
Li Jin poured a glass of wine for Su Dongsheng and said, "I'm quite embarrassed about Uncle Yao."
Su Dongsheng waved his hand and said, "Don't take it to heart. I have been friends with him for decades and I know what kind of person he is. To be more realistic, although he suffered a little during this trip, he still got a lot."
But the benefits are something you won’t be able to earn for several years.”
"Come to think of it, he still needs to thank you... When we were in the hospital before, he kept saying good things about you to me, almost praising you to the sky."
Li Jin smiled and said: "This matter has been settled. Even if there is any trouble in the future, it will not affect him again."
Su Dongsheng nodded and said warmly: "If you need help, just ask. Although I can't help you much in terms of connections in Yanjing, I won't stand by and watch."
Li Jin did not refuse the kindness and said seriously: "I will do it."
After a meal, Su Dongsheng suddenly said to Li Jin: "Tomorrow I'm going to a supermarket industry forum. The heads of major supermarket chains across the country will come. It's an opportunity to expand your network, no matter how big or small. Then you can follow me
Let me go with you."
Li Jin nodded in agreement.
"Wan Qing, are you going with us?" Li Jin turned around and asked.
Su Wanqing shook her head and said: "I signed up for the MBA training class at Yanjing University. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, so I will be busy these two days."
The so-called mba is a master's degree in business administration. In this era, this kind of training course is still very valuable.
But the price is not low, especially for the MBA training courses offered by Yanjing University, the annual tuition is nearly 1 million.
It's just that neither Li Jin nor Su Wanqing care about this little money.
What's more, because the tuition for this kind of training class is very high and the qualifications of applicants are strictly screened, those who can enter are almost the same level of social elites.
This kind of 'classmate' relationship is undoubtedly a valuable human resource.
Li Jin was surprised and said: "MBA? OK, it's good to go and participate. Just be careful, those men who come here to get gold plated may have ulterior motives."
Seeing Li Jin's serious expression, which didn't look like he was joking, Su Wanqing chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
The next day, Huo Anlan took a flight to Shanghai early in the morning. Li Jin wanted to see her off, but the beauty left without saying goodbye, and the building was already empty.
Huo Huanyu was socializing last night. He drank until it was dark and didn't get up until noon. Moreover, he continued to socialize in the afternoon, and Li Jin didn't bother to care about him.
This kind of socializing is exactly the 'serious job' for these children from wealthy families.
Liu Jun was instructed to follow Su Wanqing to Yenching University to go through the admission procedures, while Li Jin rushed to the supermarket industry forum with Su Dongsheng.
The forum was held in the executive conference building of a five-star hotel.
As a national industry forum, the style is naturally not bad.
The organizer's staff guided them all the way, and Li Jin could see Su Dongsheng's status in the supermarket industry.
As soon as the two entered the hotel, after Su Dongsheng revealed his identity, a man who looked like a person in charge hurried over, respectfully distributed the qualification certificates for participating in the forum to the two, and then led the two upstairs.
The entire conference hall was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, with a rostrum on top, surrounded by a circle of buffet-style dining tables. Waiters appeared throughout the hall to ensure that guests would have a waiter available as soon as they needed it.
"There are many people coming to the industry forum this time. For example, the heads and senior executives of private and state-owned joint ventures such as Comailong, Galle, Fuhua, Leungda, Leungfa, and Hualian will all come."
Before entering, Su Dongsheng said to Li Jin.
"Is such a grand forum a big move for the industry?"
Li Jin knows that for at least the next 15 years, until online shopping completely takes over people's consumption position, the supermarket industry will always be a thriving industry.
Moreover, the unique business model is destined to bring together a large amount of cash in the supermarket industry. Only if the supermarket defaults on payment for other people's goods, it is impossible for others to default on the supermarket.
Therefore, this industry has great potential.
However, Li Jin has not thought about entering this industry for the time being. He specializes in the art industry, and Li Jin never does anything he is not sure about.
At this point it's completely just out of curiosity.
Su Dongsheng smiled and said: "I heard that they plan to formulate an industry standard and everyone will abide by it."
Although Li Jin is not in the supermarket industry, he immediately understood the meaning of this so-called industry standard by analogy.
It's just the big guys at the head of the industry who, in order to hold resources in their hands, have set a tight curse on the entire industry that is in line with their own interests.
"Thinking too much." Li Jin said lightly, not optimistic about it.
Setting industry standards is a matter for the country to consider. How can it be possible for these people to be both athletes and referees?
Su Dongsheng smiled noncommittally and said, "I think the same as you."
While talking, the two people had already entered the conference hall.
Su Dongsheng's arrival caused a small sensation.
"Lao Su, you're finally here. I heard that your real estate business has been booming recently. I thought you didn't like the small plates in the supermarket and wouldn't come." A middle-aged man with a kind face
The man came over and said with a smile.
Su Dongsheng greeted him with a smile, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and said: "Supermarkets are my old business, how could I give up, so I still have to come to this forum."
"Here, let me introduce you. This is my daughter Wan Qing's boyfriend, Li Jin."
"This is Qiao Keli, Director Qiao! He's also a big shot in our industry. Ah Jin, please get to know him."
Under Qiao Keli's curious gaze, Li Jin stretched out his hand generously and said without humility: "Hello, Director Qiao."
Qiao Keli stretched out his hand to shake Li Jin's hand and praised: "Not bad, the young man shows his talent."
However, as Li Jin was a junior and still very young, Qiao Keli did not spend too much thought on him. Saying hello and saying some kind words was enough to give him face.
He turned around and joked to Su Dongsheng: "Lao Su, your girl is like a fairy. She has decided to get married so early? My boy is still in high school and is a little too young. Otherwise, no matter what, I will let you go again.
Think about it."
Su Dongsheng said calmly: "In this kind of matter, I listen to the young man's own arrangements, and Ajin meets my requirements very well."
Seeing that Su Dongsheng was so partial to Li Jin, Qiao Keli took a second look at him, but did not continue the topic.
His smile faded, he approached Su Dongsheng, and said worriedly: "Old Su, I heard the news this time, it will be very detrimental to us."
As soon as Qiao Keli finished speaking, a domineering laughter came from behind the group of people.
"Isn't this Su Dongsheng of the Su Group? I heard that you almost defrauded people of hundreds of millions before? Let me just say, people should be self-aware and don't do things they don't understand. Now look at you, you don't have a long memory.
Go do some real estate again, you will lose money later and no one will pity you."
