Chapter 603 The Wisdom of the Richest Man

Chapter 603 The Wisdom of the Richest Man

Upstairs in the hotel.

"Business is all about money! If you are willing to spend money, you can do great things. Look at those stars on TV. They may be so noble in the eyes of ordinary people, but in my eyes they are just actors. If my father's birthday comes and I ask him to come and sing to liven up the atmosphere, he will come.

To others, he is a star, but to me, he is just a tool for singing and dancing. He has to sing whatever I ask him to sing, because he will not refuse my money. If he disagrees, it is because the price is not enough. "Yang Dingtian said proudly while smoking a cigar.

"Mr. Yang is right, but as far as I know, your company was planning to ask Jie Lun to be the spokesperson. Later, because the price was too high, it seemed that you changed it to Xu Huaiyu." Chen Xi teased Yang Dingtian in a mean way.

"It's not because I think the price is too high, but I think it's not good to put a man on the egg yolk pie packaging. As the saying goes, a dish should be delicious and tasty. So I will definitely choose someone with better looks to be my spokesperson. There is no speaker on this egg yolk pie, so who would listen to his songs?" Yang Dingtian's old face turned red and he forced an explanation.

"Hahaha, there's something wrong with what Mr. Yang said. Money is indeed important in doing business. But not everything can be solved with money. Sometimes, dealing with people is not just about forcing money on them, don't you think?" Mr. Xu blinked at Chen Xi.

"That's right. No matter what the occasion is, you can't just talk about interests when dealing with people. Otherwise, when you have no money, others will just pat their butts and leave. There is a saying that goes, 'The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water.' I wonder if Mr. Yang has heard of it." Chen Xi said again.

"What's this about the friendship between gentlemen being as pure as water? That's all bullshit from the ancients. In today's society, no one will respect you if you have no money and no status. If you didn't come from a good family, would you still be sitting here and talking to us?" Yang Dingtian said with disdain.

Actually, most people would agree with what he said, but Chen Xi would not agree with it.

Let’s talk about what Yang Dingtian said first. It seems to be more realistic, but it is just an excuse he made for himself.

In his previous life, Chen Xi was in trouble and had a very bad life afterwards. According to the general idea, if you have no money, even dogs will ignore you. This is the reality. Others will ignore you because you have no value to use.

But this was not the case with Chen Xi. When he was in a bad situation, some people distanced themselves from him, but they were only people with whom he had vested interests. Others, such as classmates and good friends, did not leave him.

Normally, his classmates would ask him to go out and play, or visit their city or take him out for a trip.

That’s because there are no vested interests between us, and we are all sincere friends.

Chen Xi doesn't like to ask others for help. Others always ask him to do things for them, which means he doesn't owe anyone a favor. It's always others who owe him a favor. Even if he has no money, he still plays with his classmates openly because he doesn't ask others for help and has nothing to be embarrassed about.

Although he feels a little inferior when he sees that his classmates are living better than he is, it does not affect the communication among everyone.

Chen Xi felt that he was a pretty good person and had a good reputation outside. At least few people said bad things about him, including the women he had broken up with before.

If you have no money and others don't want to play with you anymore, it's either because the conflict of interest is too serious or there's something wrong with you. Don't blame others for leaving you, look for other reasons first.

"Mr. Yang, what you said is too absolute. Interpersonal relationships are not all about business, nor can they be maintained entirely by money. There still has to be some emotion." Chen Xi chuckled.

"I won't argue with you about this. You are still young now. When you grow up, you will understand what I am saying. I am telling you that when you are broke and you go out to borrow money, even if you want to borrow 10,000 yuan, you probably won't be able to borrow it because everyone is afraid that you can't pay it back."

"Hahaha, maybe."

Hearing Yang Dingtian say this, Chen Xi laughed, because Chen Yifeng had also said this.

Again, this makes sense, but it is not absolute.

Because Chen Xi had been living poorly before, people around him offered to lend him money, and they didn't have to pay it back, but he refused.

"What you two said actually makes sense. In my opinion, we should use different methods to treat different people. If someone talks about money, then give him money. If someone talks about feelings, then be open-hearted to him. Because everyone in this world wants different things." China's little social guru - Xu Jia expressed his opinion.

In terms of socializing, the Xu family is quite powerful. They have connections with everyone. No matter what industry the powerful person is in, the Xu family can get along well with him. Of course, it mainly depends on money!

"Hehehe." Xu Yun couldn't help but laugh when she heard her father say that.

To be honest, she hadn't seen the Xu family talk like this for a long time. Anyway, they were always different when chatting with her.

The Xu family basically never reason with their daughter. They just dote on her and give her whatever she wants.

It’s different when communicating with my son. I’ll bring up some life lessons.

Therefore, Xu Yun basically never listened to the Xu family's lectures, which led to her limited understanding of the truth. She was sometimes quite willful and many people disliked her.

In fact, a person's growth is inseparable from the education of his parents. If you educate your child in a laissez-faire manner, the result will be random. The child's character may be related to the people and things he comes into contact with.

Both Chen Xi and Xu Yun were raised in a free-range environment with no one to take care of them since childhood, so the difference between them is huge.

But there is no way around it. When Xu Jia and Chen Yifeng were young, they were busy with their careers and had no time to teach their children. This is also a problem that many entrepreneurs encounter when they become parents.

"Then Mr. Xu, what methods do you think you can use to keep someone like me?" Chen Xi looked at the Xu family with a smile.

"Haha, I won't guess. I choose to use both!" Xu Jia answered cunningly.

"Haha."

"Haha."

Everyone present, including Chen Xi, burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Now is the information age. No matter what project you are doing, the first step is to publicize it and let others know about it. And you have to exaggerate the project, that is, create momentum! Even if you only have one dollar in your pocket, you have to say you have one million!

The Internet is still very developed at present, and everyone has begun to get used to reading news online. Sooner or later, newspapers will disappear in China.

If you want to create momentum, you need to find some celebrities to help you, such as a certain star or the boss of a certain group. I pay him some money as an appearance fee, and he doesn't have to do anything, just stand there, and he can easily make tens of millions. Only a fool won't do this.

As for me, I spent this money, not only did he help me promote the project, which made others believe in it, but I also became friends with him, which was killing two birds with one stone. Others took a lot of money but did nothing, so they would definitely feel embarrassed, and in their hearts, they actually owed you half a favor..." After everyone laughed, Xu Jia continued. It is actually very common to create momentum in the business world. For example, when Chen Xi was doing projects before, he actually did it. He spent money on major media to promote it and found a bunch of leaders and bigwigs to help. Xu Jia didn't need to tell him that he was very skilled at this.

Let’s talk about some internet celebrities who drive luxury cars around every day and invite some big bosses and leaders to visit them. It’s actually the same situation.

However, the hype in the business world is often stopped midway.

Because sometimes one of the purposes of creating momentum is to see the market’s reaction. If the effect is not as good as expected, then the project will be terminated and losses will be stopped in time.

Some are not well prepared and run out of money halfway through building momentum, or there are problems with the project.

Others received certain warnings and had to stop.

“In my opinion, the commercial wars in business today are not as fancy as those in the movies. They are all fake and deliberately created to excite the audience.

At present, information is transmitted so quickly, and most bosses use the method of spending money to rely on the media to discredit their opponents. After all... if the rumor is discovered, what can be done? "Xu Jia laughed.

Boss Xu is right. Rumors spread very quickly on the Internet. Many netizens like to eat melons and start to follow the trend without caring about the truth of the matter. It is really difficult for ordinary companies to withstand such public opinion attacks. Normally, they spend money to deal with the Internet trolls. If they can't deal with them, then they can only accept the loss.

Even if someone comes forward to prove your innocence, it is too late, and the company is likely to have closed down. Then those keyboard warriors will start to change their faces and say that they had discovered the problem before.

"Mr. Xu, you currently have so many projects across the country, and the hype is almost reaching the sky. Even if one day you say that you want to build a house on the moon, I guess people will believe it." Chen Xi joked.

"Hahaha, that's exactly the point. If you think about it this way, you need funds to carry out so many projects. How can you get the money if you don't make the plate bigger?"

Chen Xi was stunned by what the Xu family said. He did not expect that the Xu family would tell him such a big truth.

This really treats him as one of our own...

"Well, if you want to sell it at a high price, you have to tell the right story!" Chen Xi nodded.

"Hahaha, I really like you more and more." Xu Jia laughed without caring about his image.

"Mr. Xu, although the real estate industry is very hot now, you are a big boss and you should understand. Hengxiao is not the only real estate developer in China. Excluding well-known developers and Chinese companies, there are countless developers of all sizes in every city. With so many people building buildings frantically, they need to scramble for land, and the cost will become higher and higher. You must have thought about this problem." Chen Xi pretended to be kind and reminded the Xu family.

"Of course, how could I not understand what you said? Although I am not as well educated as you, I have been in this business for many years after all. I must know more about the twists and turns of real estate than you do.

When a company grows bigger, it will expand into other industries. For example, Mr. Yang started out in the food industry, and now he has several non-food production projects. Hengxiao Group has a wide range of businesses, and will expand even more in the future.

I mentioned to you before that if there is risk in a place, the risk needs to be transferred away. Overseas real estate is simply a hot commodity. I think you should understand this principle. "Xu Jia stared at Chen Xi and winked mischievously.

Xu Yun also suddenly looked at him with a smile.

Chen Xi immediately understood that the Xu family was most likely already aware of his overseas real estate ventures.

Think about it, the Xu family and Jackie Chan have a good relationship, and Chen Xi himself sold the house to Jackie Chan. If the two of them were chatting, Jackie Chan would say that he bought a house in Australia and it was sold to him by someone. Now everything would be clear.

Before the Xu family mentioned cooperation, Chen Xi thought it was just cooperation in Xinlu, to deal with Chen Yifeng together. After all this time, the Xu family also wanted to cooperate with him overseas. This ambition is really big...

Looking back at the past, Hengxiao Group did have many projects overseas. Regardless of whether or not the purpose was to transfer funds or launder money, they had all been developed overseas.

Therefore, whether Chen Xi is there or not, Hengxiao Group will vigorously expand overseas.

"Well, my Yang Dan has had many conflicts with you before. I was busy with work before and didn't have time to educate this child. You and he are classmates, and I have already talked about him before. I hope you can get along well in the future and don't destroy our cooperation..." Yang Dingtian suddenly said.

What he said made Chen Xi feel a little unhappy.

Until now, Yang Dingtian still treats himself as an elder when communicating with Chen Xi. In the business world, there are usually only brothers and sisters. He actually said this to suppress Chen Xi.

In comparison, the Xu family is much better and seems quite amiable.

"Okay, if Yang Dan makes trouble again in the future, I will have an excuse to educate the child on behalf of Mr. Yang. After all, it can't affect the cooperation, haha." Chen Xi teased Yang Dingtian again.

"Do you know why I told you that Hengxiao Group will make a name for itself overseas? Xiaoyun, you go and tell him." The Xu family pointed at their daughter.

Xu Yun exchanged a glance with her father, then looked at Chen Xi proudly and said, "Just two or three months ago, our Heng Xiao was listed on the main board of HK."

In recent years, the government and other departments such as the China Securities Regulatory Commission have introduced a number of policies to support mainland companies in listing overseas and utilizing two markets and two resources.

Especially for new economy companies and technology-based enterprises, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has introduced new listing rules, lowered the listing threshold, and provided more convenience for enterprises.

The refinancing capacity of the HK capital market is very strong, and it can flexibly meet the financing needs of enterprises after listing. Six months after listing in HK, the company can conduct additional share financing, as long as it is authorized by the shareholders' meeting, and no additional administrative approval is required, which means that more money can be made.

As an international financial center, HK has a mature and open capital market that can attract investors from all over the world. It is also more standardized and more credible.

The financial sectors of the mainland and Hong Kong belong to two different systems, which means that many things can bypass mainland supervision, and the Xu family can transfer money out more easily.

It can be seen that this person from the Xu family actually knows everything. How could he not know that there will be a catastrophe one day?
he knows!
So I thought of a way out early on.

However, there is another reason why Hengxiao Group was listed in HK. That is that the Xu family went to HK to find Li Kacheng and Lao Liu because of financial problems, and got a large sum of money.

Of course, the borrowed money must be repaid, and listing in HK is also to repay these bigwigs. (End of this chapter)
