Chapter 485 The Power of Capital
Chen Feng was also surprised to meet Huo Jindong, Tao Yaoyang and Tang Xinyi here.
After he separated from Jin Xinyan and the others, he took four women to walk around the lakeside, blowing in the cool lake breeze to cool off the summer heat, and looking at the beautiful night scenery around the lakeside. It was very of comfort.
More than two hours passed before I knew it, and it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
Originally, we were going back home, but Lu Sijia suggested that we go for a late-night snack and some beauty and health porridge. Not only was the environment a good place, the porridge tasted good, but it was also a good way to maintain beauty without getting fat. The other three women Of course you can't refuse it.
Lu Sijia's membership card for this porridge shop was also given to her by someone else. It was given to her by the public relations department of Goose Factory.
At that time, "Heshan Order" set a record on demand on the Goose Factory video platform and became a hit, making Goose Factory a lot of money. Lu Sijia is the general manager of Fangfengliang Film and Television, the producer of "Heshan Order", so this kind of public relations gift is certainly appropriate.
It is an unspoken rule in shopping malls that friends and businessmen give each other gifts. As long as it is not a direct gift of money, it does not count as a commercial bribery. Speaking of which, it is within normal business rules.
Fengmang Film and Television also has corresponding public relations expenses, which are the expenses for gifts given to major partners.
Lu Sijia's card has a balance of 288,000, but it is difficult to withdraw cash. In principle, this porridge shop does not allow cash withdrawals, so it cannot constitute an actual monetary bribe.
This is just like giving supermarket shopping coupons to teachers on Teachers' Day in the past, which is not illegal. In some areas this seems to be accepted as normal behavior.
Of course, this situation is definitely not worth advocating, at least it goes against professional ethics.
Lu Sijia’s acceptance of a porridge shop membership card from a friend is more normal in business activities. It can be regarded as a friendly interaction in business, full of human touch.
Of course, the premise is that she will not consider the problem from the perspective of her own company after accepting the other party's benefits.
Chen Feng is not very worried about this, because the general manager Lu Sijia does not have all the power in the company. The important financial and personnel rights are not in her hands, and some important decisions have to go through Wu Mengting. , Sun Xiaorui only agrees. When they had a dispute, it was up to him, the boss, to make the decision.
As for Lu Sijia's acceptance of friendly gifts, she did not deliberately hide it. She had reported it to Wu Mengting, the financial director.
Tonight, I told Chen Feng and others about this matter directly and openly, and even brought them to eat porridge together.
As the boss, of course Chen Feng couldn't say anything to her.
Originally, as a member, Lu Sijia could only bring two people over for consumption, but as long as the one-time consumption exceeds 10,000, this restriction is no longer within the scope.
So, this porridge shop looks restrictive and full of style, but after all, it is a business to make money, and some regulations have been appropriately humanized, and everything is based on money.
They each ordered porridge on the first floor. The four women all ordered beauty porridge. Lin Wan ordered the cheapest bowl, Lily Purple Rice Porridge, which only cost 588. Relatively speaking, it is a relatively low-priced porridge here. .
Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui had no intention of saving money for Lu Sijia. After all, her card could be considered a company card, so they ordered the most expensive bird's nest porridge, saying that they used the most expensive card. Made from purple swallow bird's nest, a bowl costs 2888.
Three bowls are nearly ten thousand.
Chen Feng was not polite and ordered Cordyceps sinensis porridge, which cost 2888 for a bowl. There are many women around him, so he still has to make up for it when necessary.
After ordering the food, the five of them went upstairs and met Tao Yaoyang and the others.
"Chen Feng, come and sit with us." Tao Yaoyang enthusiastically invited Chen Feng.
"Yes, come and sit with me." Huo Jindong also invited warmly.
Only Tang Xinyi looked at him with complicated eyes and said nothing.
There are five of them here, and a table usually only seats four people. Chen Feng happened to share the table with three people from Tao Yaoyang.
"Okay. Let's sit with you."
Now that he met them here, Chen Feng couldn't refuse them thousands of miles away.
I went over and sat at a table with them.
However, at this time, Chen Feng also saw Jin Xinyan and the other three. Jin Xinyan turned around and glanced sideways at him, but did not say hello to him.
Kang Cheng faced him face to face and smiled and nodded at him in a friendly manner, but Chen Feng ignored him.
The four women, Lu Sijia, sat at the empty table between their two tables. Of course, they all saw Kang Cheng and the other three.
Lin Wan was very happy and waved hello to Kang Cheng with a smile: "What a coincidence, we meet you again."
Kang Cheng responded with a smile: "Yes. What a coincidence."
Lin Wan wanted to say something, but Wu Mengting pulled her slightly. She immediately realized that it was not easy to speak loudly here, so she smiled at Kang Cheng again, then took out her phone and started taking selfies.
Lu Sijia looked at the people at Chen Feng's side with curiosity. She was previously assigned by Chen Feng to invest with Tang Xinyi in a private equity project hosted by Huo Jindong, but there were not many opportunities to actually participate in it, and she was not very involved. She was just a tool in that private equity project, and she didn't even see Huo Jindong at the beginning. This private equity venture capital tycoon.
The main thing was that she and Tang Xinyi were talking about it. The two parties worked together to establish a new shell company and raised 200 million yuan. Fengmang Film and Television provided 50 million yuan to participate in the private equity project.
Later, as a representative of Fengmang Film and Television, as a witness, she participated in the signing ceremony and met the big boss Huo Jindong, but she was only attending the ceremony at the time. The real person who signed the contract was Tang Xinyi, and she I haven't said anything to the big boss Huo Jindong.
But the signing ceremony, which was not open to the public at that time, was not only attended by big names, but there were also some influential figures in the province and even domestic shopping malls.
This left a deep impression on Lu Sijia at the time, and she began to suspect that her boss might have a shady background.
Then, she naturally became very excited, her work enthusiasm increased significantly, not to mention her ambition to develop the company.
At first, she was a little skeptical about Chen Feng, her boss, who had a strong background, but now that she has seen with her own eyes that Huo Jindong, a big boss, is so polite to her boss, she has basically no doubts anymore.
On the surface, her boss is unassuming and has even told her to keep a low profile, but in fact, he has a great background. Even a big boss like Huo Jindong is very polite even if he doesn't say he is respectful.
The more Lu Sijia thought about it, the more passionate she became. Even if an outstanding man like Chen Feng could not become his woman, she still had to be his absolute confidant and hug his thick legs tightly. Now she began to somewhat understand Wu Mengting's previous tolerance and indulgence towards Chen Feng. She could tolerate Chen Feng having other women, and there were more than one or two. She even lived and worked with Sun Xiaorui, Chen Feng's mistress, and got along day and night.
Before, she actually despised Wu Mengting's behavior in her heart. She felt that she was too weak emotionally and was an embarrassment to other women.
Now she is beginning to understand Wu Mengting's "capacity". The reason is that Chen Feng is such an outstanding man. Not only is he rich and handsome, he is from her hometown, he also has a good background and outstanding abilities. , has its own unique charm.
If you miss a man like this, where can you find a better one?
Besides, isn’t it normal for such an outstanding man to have several women around him? This just speaks to his charisma.
Now that I think about it, in this regard, she fell behind. After knowing that Chen Feng was a womanizer, she decisively cut off the emotional ties with her sword and took the initiative to cut off any possible emotional pull with Chen Feng.
And now even if she wants to join the competition, she basically has no chance. Compared with the women around Chen Feng, her shortcoming is very obvious, that is, she is not beautiful enough.
Even though she can actually be considered a beauty, her beauty is far inferior to that of Wu Mengting, even Sun Xiaorui and Jin Xinyan are inferior. She is very self-aware in this regard.
In addition, she had no first-mover advantage. Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui knew Chen Feng earlier than she did, and they all lived together. Even if she joined the competition, her chances would be slim.
So, after much thought, she decided that instead of joining the competition and failing and losing her position as the general manager of the company, she might as well play the role of Chen Feng's subordinate and confidant, tightly tied to Chen Feng, and rely on Chen Feng in the future. The mysterious background of this boss made her rise rapidly and become a master.
"Sister Lu, who is that middle-aged man wearing glasses?"
Wu Mengting asked Lu Sijia in Lushi dialect.
After Lu Sijia came to her senses, she introduced her in a low voice in her hometown dialect.
Wu Mengting was of course shocked when she heard this. She had no idea that Chen Feng would know such a big boss before, let alone chatting and laughing with his deskmate, who was quite polite to him.
What the hell is going on?
Wu Mengting was surprised and confused at the same time.
"Mengting, what is Chen Feng's background? I think this boss is quite polite to him."
Lu Sijia was inevitably curious to inquire about the information from Wu Mengting, trying to get the answer.
But it's a pity that even though Wu Mengting knew the details about Chen Feng, she didn't know the reason. After thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "I don't know. He is from the same hometown as us. His parents were originally farmers, and his relatives and friends seemed to be the same." There is no particularly powerful person. There is one classmate who is relatively powerful, but that’s just me. He is the deputy director of the street police station. I really don’t know what other connections he has.”
Lu Sijia said with some disappointment: “It seems that you don’t know him 100%. . ”
Wu Mengting certainly didn’t like hearing this, but it seemed to be true.
Compared with their low-pitched chatting here, Chen Feng's side was much more normal. Mainly Huo Jindong and Tao Yaoyang were talking, looking for topics with Chen Feng.
The reason why they met here to have porridge this time was recommended by Tao Yaoyang, a local snake. Previously, they attended a small investment circle tea party in the evening and didn't eat much. After the party, Tao Yaoyang took the two of them here to have porridge.
"The Weitian Battery we invested in together this time is indeed a very good project. In just a short time, their stock price has already increased by two yuan. This is all thanks to Mr. Huo's support."
With a look of compliment and gratitude, Tao Yaoyang took the initiative to bring the topic to the previous investment project of the few of them.
Huo Jindong smiled heartily and waved his hands slightly: "This is just the beginning. Although new energy will always be bullish in the future, the stock price will definitely fluctuate a lot during this period, and it may not necessarily rise all the time. But In the long run, it will definitely rise. I suggest you hold it for the long term."
Tao Yaoyang nodded quickly and followed: "Of course. Mr. Huo has told us before that I am personally very optimistic about new energy."
Tang Xinyi also said with a smile: "The main reason why the stock price of Weitian Battery has risen this time is We got a big deal from Litian Automobile, and Litian Automobile is also a listed company that Mr. Huo participated in, right?”
Huo Jindong laughed when he heard this and did not respond. But in fact, the relationship here can be known with just a little research. His Golden East Capital now invests in many companies. Litian Automobile is one of them, and its shares are not very large. But you said that Weitian Battery just received a big order from Litian Automobile this time, and there was no reason why he contributed to it? This is obviously impossible.
In fact, Jindong Capital, or Huo Jindong, has a very important say in Litian Automobile, because Litian Automobile needs his help if it wants to get a big deal or raise funds. Coordinate, connect with each other, or exchange and transfer benefits, etc.
In this way, a complex and close network of capital interests can be constructed.
And their Jindong Capital, or Huo Jindong, is the hub of interests, and one move can affect the whole body.
Let me ask you, among those listed companies, those businessmen, those various interest brokers, which one would not give him some face?
And if he wants to do anything, as long as he slightly activates the connections in his hands, he can exert huge power and affect people in all aspects.
This is the power of capital.
This power is very powerful and can penetrate into all aspects of society. Both feared and coveted.
Even though Chen Feng didn't know these characters well, he instinctively knew that it was best not to have close friendship with these people.
If you don’t tell me, this kind of person will probably sell you out in a minute. Even if your interests are involved, if something happens to him in the future, you will probably be affected by it.
It's just that because of Tang Xinyi's relationship last time, Chen Feng still had some disputes with Huo Jindong. Fortunately, he also took some insurance. He passed through Fengmang Film and Television, and then passed through the shell company established in partnership with Tang Xinyi, participated in the last private equity project, and invested in this Weitian Battery.
But no matter what, Chen Feng still has a real interest-binding relationship with Huo Jindong, and they are considered allies in the Weitian Battery project.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think of the current development of Weitian Battery?"
Chen Feng didn't say much, but Huo Jindong took the initiative to talk to him.
Chen Feng told the truth: "I don't know much about this company. Last time I invested, I asked the general manager of my company to take charge, and I didn't ask much about it."
Huo Jindong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, you are really open-minded. After all, you invested 50 million in it, and you didn't even bother. Haha, I think I can't do this kind of attitude of treating money like dirt." . Amazing!"
At the end, Huo Jindong gave Chen Feng a thumbs up, his eyes full of admiration and his tone sincere, without any hint of ridicule.
Thank you:
The figure is still lonely, no one shares my book with me and I have no regrets for half my life, book friends with the tail number 615, and monthly ticket support! ! !
