Cheng Jiaxun's call rang at noon on November 14th, earlier than Zhao Chen expected.
Zhao Chen is currently looking at the Lu Shen position report just sent by Chen Xi.
60 million shares, and floating losses have exceeded 90 million.
He glanced at the caller ID - an unknown number, but the address showed Kunming.
Zhao Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and answered the phone:
"Hello?"
A familiar voice came from the opposite side, with the unique calmness of a middle-aged man, but if you listen carefully, you can feel a trace of deliberately suppressed eagerness:
"Chairman Zhao, it's me, Cheng Jiaxun. Long time no see."
Zhao Chen leaned on the back of the chair and spoke with a bit of enthusiasm:
"Mr. Cheng! Long time no see. How are you lately?"
Cheng Jiaxun smiled on the other end of the phone:
"It's okay, just busy. Where is Chairman Zhao?
Henglong has been making a lot of noise recently, and I heard about the National Day operation at Yunnan.
800 million in eight days, it's really beautiful, it's much faster than raising pigs."
Zhao Chen said modestly:
"Mr. Cheng won the prize. It's all luck, just in time with the node."
The two of them chatted insincerely for a few minutes.
Cheng Jiaxun finally gets to the point:
"Chairman Zhao, I'm going to Shan City on a business trip next week to handle some personal matters.
I think we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I wonder if you have time to have a meal together?"
He paused and added:
"This time is private, just a casual chat between our two families.
I'll bring my wife with me, Chairman Zhao If it's convenient, I can also bring my family members."
Zhao Chen's brow moved slightly.
Bring family members.
This arrangement is interesting.
He smiled:
"Mr. Cheng You're too polite. Okay, I'll make arrangements. When will you arrive?"
Cheng Jiaxun said:
"I'll be here on the afternoon of the 16th. Let's have dinner together tonight?"
Zhao Chen said:
"Okay, then it will be on the evening of the 16th. I will book a place and send it to you then."
Cheng Jiaxun said yes repeatedly, said a few more polite words, and hung up the phone.
Zhao Chen put down the phone and looked at Su Wantang sitting on the sofa:
"Do you have any other plans for the night of the 16th?"
Su Wantang raised his head:
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Chen said:
"Cheng Jiaxun is here, bring your wife. Let us also bring our family members."
Su Wantang was stunned for a moment, then his face turned slightly red:
"Bringing... family members?"
Zhao Chen nodded:
"Yes, family members."
Su Wantang lowered his head and could not help but curl up the corners of his mouth:
"Then I have to think about what to wear."
Zhao Chen looked at her and suddenly felt a little soft in his heart.
This woman, who has been with him for so long, has always stood behind the scenes.
This time, he could finally take her out openly.
November 16, six o'clock in the evening, South Bank Road, a certain Private Kitchen Restaurant.
Zhao Chen Arrive ten minutes early.
He chose this private restaurant located at South Bank Road. Yangtze River is right outside the window, and the night view is excellent.
Private Room is not big, but the privacy is enough. The decoration is in the style of the Republic of China, with wooden window lattice and dim lighting, which is very tasteful.
Su Wantang today wore an off-white long skirt with a light gray cardigan on top. Her hair was tied loosely behind her head. She was a little less capable and more gentle than usual.
She stood by the window and looked at the river view outside:
"This place is nice."
Zhao Chen walked to her:
"It sounds good, let's buy it?"
Su Wantang shakes his head:
"It's a waste to buy it, you can come here more often."
Zhao Chen smiled:
"We will keep it here for future business banquets."
Su Wantang was stunned for a moment, then took his arm:
"I'll just say it casually."
Zhao Chen holds her hand:
"It's rare to find a place you like, so it must be your base."
The door was pushed open.
The waiter led two people in.
Cheng Jiaxun wore a dark gray jacket today, which was more casual than the last time we met, but the tiredness between his brows could not be concealed.
Next to him was a woman, about fifty years old, with a gentle temperament, wearing a navy blue suit, and a gentle smile on her face.
"Chairman Zhao!" Cheng Jiaxun quickly stepped forward and held Zhao Chen's hand with both hands, "Long time no see, long time no see."
Zhao Chen responded with a smile:
"Mr. He has worked hard all the way."
Cheng Jiaxun sideways introduction:
"This is my lover, whose surname is Zhou. He doesn't usually go out with me, but this time I heard that Shan City is coming, so I had to follow him."
Ms. Zhou smiled and stretched out her hand:
"Chairman Zhao, I have admired your name for a long time. I always mention you when I go back, saying that you are young and promising."
Zhao Chen held her hand and bowed slightly:
"Aunt Zhou is so polite. This is Su Wantang, the most important person to me."
The awkward relationship between Zhao Chen and Su Wantang was also heard by Cheng Jiaxun and his wife, so they did not inquire about the specific relationship.
Su Wantang took a step forward and shook hands with Ms. Zhou:
"Hello Aunt Zhou."
Ms. Zhou looked at her with a smile in her eyes:
"What a handsome girl. Chairman Zhao What a blessing."
Su Wantang's face turned slightly red:
"Aunt Zhou deserves the award."
Cheng Jiaxun looked on and laughed:
"Okay, okay, stop standing. Sit down, sit down."
The Westerners took their seats.
The river view outside the window was just right. A cruise ship was slowly passing by, and the lights on the ship dragged a golden light trail on the river.
The dishes were ordered in advance and came out one after another.
There are eight cold dishes and Western dishes, as well as eight hot dishes, all of which are authentic Sichuan dishes - Husband and wife lung slices, Dengying beef, boiled cabbage, Kung Pao shrimp balls...
Cheng Jiaxun took a bite of Husband and Wife Fei slices and praised:
"Authentic! You can't taste this taste at Yunnan."
Zhao Chen smiled:
"Mr. Cheng Just like it."
Ms. Zhou said next to her:
"Lao Cheng loves spicy food. I usually don't let him eat more, but I made an exception today."
Su Wantang answered:
"Aunt Zhou is very strict. Our family Zhao Chen is the same. He often socializes outside, and I'm worried that his stomach won't be able to bear it."
The two women chatted about household matters, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Cheng Jiaxun picked up the wine glass:
"Chairman Zhao, come, have a drink."
The two had a drink.
After three rounds of drinking, Cheng Jiaxun started talking more and more.
He put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhao Chen:
"Chairman Zhao, have you heard about what happened at Eagle recently?"
Zhao Chen nodded:
"I heard. Lu Shen is very lively there."
Cheng Jiaxun sighed:
"It's lively, but it makes me feel cold."
He paused:
"You said it was a good Listed Company, why did it end up like this?
23 times the offer, more than 2 billion was invested, and even Board of Directors couldn't get in.
The money was misappropriated, the accounts could not be checked, and the stock price dropped like that."
He looked at Zhao Chen:
"Chairman Zhao, to be honest, I'm a little scared now."
Zhao Chen looked at him:
"What are you afraid of?"
Cheng Jiaxun said:
"I'm afraid that our business is too deep. I'm afraid that if we make a wrong step, we will be doomed."
Zhao Chen was silent for two seconds.
Then he said:
"The problem with Mr. Cheng, Eagle is not that the water is too deep. It's that it went astray on its own."
Cheng Jiaxun looked at him.
Zhao Chen said:
"The business of raising pigs can be said to be complex, but it can also be said to be simple.
What's complicated is technology, epidemic prevention, and cost control. What's simple is – as long as you focus, you can survive."
He paused:
"The problem with Eagle is that it is not focused. Halfway through raising pigs, it goes to finance.
Finance couldn't figure it out, so he went to integrate Shaxian Snacks.
I want to catch everything, but I can't catch anything."
Cheng Jiaxun listened and nodded:
"That's the truth."
He picked up the wine glass and took another sip.
Then he asked:
"Chairman Zhao, what do you think of us Yunnan Agriculture?"
Finally asked this.
This is the purpose of Cheng Jiaxun's appointment with him today.
The listing is far away, and a sum of funds is urgently needed to boost confidence.
