Chapter 118 Personal Relationships
But when Chen Cao learned in detail about Mo Xuan's success, and even roughly investigated Mo Xuan's role in the fraud case that caused sensation in the entire Xiangjiang River two years ago, Chen Cao believed that Mo Xuan in front of him was never an adventurer.
Can an adventurous person succeed after using high leverage to buy down when the stock of Jianing Group is favored by everyone? Can an adventurous person succeed after using the leverage to buy down when the Hang Seng Index is favored by everyone?
If Mo Xuan's high-risk operations are based on adventure, then there are many people who choose to bet on all their belongings in Xiangjiang every day. But why is there only one of the millions of people in Xiangjiang that has achieved success again and again?
"Haha, maybe Mo Xuan happened to be favored by God at that time." Mo Xuan didn't care about Chen Zhu's joke. He also knew that Chen Zhu was just making a small joke with him, and he didn't really want to find out his operation process. Since that's the case, why should he care too much and bother mediocre people.
"Isn't it true that Mr. Mo is outstanding? Mr. Mo, I wonder if someone Chen is honored to make friends with you." Chen Xiang said to Mo Xuan opposite with a smile.
"What did Mr. Chen Zhu say? It is my honor to be able to make friends with you. Besides, aren't we friends now?" Mo Xuan said with a smile in front of Chen Zhu's gaze. Chen Zhu was willing to make friends with him to strengthen cooperation between the two parties and thereby improve the performance of HSBC Bank; he didn't have the intention to make friends with Chen Zhu.
You should know that Chen Zhu is the uncrowned Governor of Hong Kong. The wealthy people in Xiangjiang, such as Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, Ho Yingdong, etc., are all his guests. Although Mo Xuan has billions of Hong Kong dollars and can compete with those traditional rich people, he also seems to have some lack of foundation.
The traditional wealthy families in Xiangjiang have a characteristic, that is, they like to form cliques, and the relationship between wealthy families is complicated and interrelated. It is difficult for ordinary wealthy people to get their recognition and enter their circle. Although Mo Xuan has the memories brought by the rebirth in his mind and does not require much in-depth communication with those traditional wealthy families, if he can get along with Shen Zhu and have all the contacts with Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang and others, Mo Xuan is also happy to see him.
"Haha, it's not bad, it's Chen's fault. We are friends and are already friends." Chen Zhu was stunned for a moment when he heard Mo Xuan's words, and then reacted and said with a smile. He didn't expect that Mo Xuan in front of him was still such a humorous person. As a senior class in HSBC, he has seen countless young talents, but none of them can still maintain their true hearts and maintain their original humble attitude when they achieve great success.
"Mr. Mo, I invite you here today, mainly to have a good chat with my friends. There is a saying in China: "If you don't see me for three days, you must look at me with admiration." To be honest, Mr. Mo's achievements in the past few months have amazed Chen," Chen Zuo said to Mo Xuan with a smile.
"Mr. Chen is so proud. Who in Xiangjiang knows the great reputation of your HSBC Bank? And you, Mr. Chen, is even more famous. Just say that the new HSBC Bank Building you ordered to build three years ago would cost 5 billion Hong Kong dollars to be built. That is really a feat that Mo Xuan dared not even think of." People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. Chen Zhou praised him so much, of course, Mo Xuan could not help but put a high hat on Chen Zhou.
"Haha, let Mr. Mo laugh. When the building holds the completion ceremony, please give Mr. Mo a look to be a guest of ribbon cutting." Hearing Mo Xuan's praise, Chen Zhu waved his hand and smiled modestly, but his tone still revealed a hint of pride.
The new HSBC Building mentioned by Mo Xuan is a masterpiece during Chen Cao's tenure: After Chen Cao served as the chairman of HSBC, Chen Cao believed that HSBC, as a famous giant in the entire Xiangjiang River, should have a landmark building of its own to reflect the authority of HSBC. Therefore, three years ago, in 1981, Chen Cao ordered the construction of a new HSBC Building.
The building is located in the most prosperous Central area of Hong Kong, sandwiched between Queens Avenue and Des Voe Road, close to Queens Stadium, Standard Chartered Bank Building, and MTR Central Station. It is really worth every inch of land. The budget for building this building is as high as HK$5 billion. By the time it is completed, it can be regarded as the most expensive building in the world.
"It must be certain. When the building is completed, it will definitely be a rare event in Xiangjiang. Even if Mr. Chen is not invited, Mo Xuan will not miss this event and will go to the scene to observe it." Mo Xuan agreed with a smile to Chen Zhu's invitation. How could Mo Xuan not agree to be the guest at the completion ceremony of the new HSBC Bank Building?
As far as Mo Xuan knows, Youde, who was then the Governor of Xiangjiang, personally presided over the opening ceremony at the completion ceremony of the HSBC Building in his previous life. The wealthy people and media gathered together in Xiangjiang. This was a major event in Xiangjiang in 1986. Since Chen Cao invited him to be the ribbon-cutting guest of the completion ceremony, how could he refuse?
"Mr. Mo, then we'll make up that. Today I invited Mr. Mo to come here mainly to talk to you. After having a conversation with Mr. Mo just now, Chen Cao felt that my friend's excellence is the first among the young people in Xiangjiang. Compared with the older generation of rich people like Li Jiacheng in Xiangjiang, they are not too polite." Chen Cao praised with a smile. Mo Xuan's answer made him feel like a spring breeze, and Mo Xuan's words and behaviors also left a good impression on Chen Cao, just like an old fox who has been practicing for many years in the mall, and he has a great way of dealing with people.
"Mr. Chen is really absurd. Mo Xuan has many shortcomings. People like Mr. Li Jiacheng, Mr. Bao Yugang, Mr. He Hongsen and others can be regarded as seniors. They have always been role models to learn and admire." Mo Xuan smiled and refused to give Chen Zhuo's praise.
Chen Zhu can be said this because he has a high status in Xiangjiang and is familiar with Li Jiacheng and the others, which is harmless. But if he accepts it so rashly, it will inevitably give people the impression that he will be arrogant when he is successful. Confidence and conceit are often just a matter of thought.
