Um?
Ye Chen paused for a moment.
I have to say.
He guessed that Zhang Weimin had called him over to talk about the photo on the Internet.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Weimin would open the topic by asking him what he thought of Xu Jia.
The tea-making process continued after a pause.
He smiled faintly, "He is a role model for our generation. He came from a poor background but built up such a business and wealth today. In the history of modern domestic business, he is a legendary figure with a strong color!
"Don't play tricks on me, kid. Do you think I want to listen to you saying this?" Zhang Weimin scolded.
"What do you want to hear, old secretary?"
Ye Chen joked, "Did Mr. Xu ask you to persuade me? He wants you to bring me together with him?"
"Get lost! I, Zhang Weimin, have never done such a thing in my life. I never get involved in any business matters in private, except for introducing Tong Zhen to you last time! Even when I was the secretary, I never did any private things regarding attracting investment. Do you think I can still get involved in those things now that I'm old enough to be buried in the earth up to my neck?" Zhang Weimin scolded with a smile.
Then he said, "But I also asked Jingshan to show me the photo of you and Xu Jia at the White Swan Hotel. Don't tell me, even I thought you were going to lead your Tenglong Real Estate to cooperate with his Hengda Real Estate!"
However, as he spoke, there was a hint of amusement in Zhang Weimin's eyes.
"That's why I feel like he tricked me!" Ye Chen said seriously.
In his skillful brewing.
He poured the hot tea into the teacup.
"Oh? Was he tricking me?" The smile in Zhang Weimin's eyes became even bigger.
"Don't try to trick me. Judging from your eyes and expression, if you say you don't understand, I don't believe you!" Ye Chen said.
"Ha ha! "
Zhang Weimin picked up the teacup, seemed to be accustomed to the heat of the tea, and drank it leisurely.
But I didn't say anything about how good the tea was.
So it was obvious that he didn't ask Ye Chen to come over just to taste tea.
While Ye Chen was refilling his tea, Zhang Weimin asked again, "Why, you look like you are dissatisfied?
"If he makes it clear, I certainly wouldn't mind helping him create a fake trick that's insignificant, but that would only make me disgusted! But it doesn't matter, whether I'm disgusted or not, the interactions between him and I are always limited, so there's no need to make a big deal out of it!" Ye Chen said.
"Alas...I really shouldn't say that he underestimated you, or that he shot himself in the foot again! He came to see me some time ago, and it really made me sigh. I watched him grow step by step. Even when Hengda was just starting out, he caught the government's desire to use the real estate industry to stimulate the economy. In those years, many projects of Hengda Real Estate were approved by me. In terms of business acumen, development concept, and foresight, he is absolutely the best. Unfortunately, he is too ambitious. He also has another problem, that is, he is too self-centered. After more than 20 years, I didn't expect that he is still like this!"
Zhang Weimin sighed.
"Success and failure are all due to Xiao He. If he didn't have that kind of ambition, if he didn't have that kind of ego, he wouldn't be able to build the business machine of Hengda!" Ye Chen said in a calm voice.
"Hmm? Success and failure are both due to Xiao He?" Zhang Weimin said.
"Old Secretary, you asked me to come here to talk about Hengda, isn't it just to hear my opinion on Hengda?" Ye Chen suddenly smiled playfully.
Forehead
Zhang Weimin's expression froze. Then his old face trembled.
Do you need to bring this up, kid?
"Why do I feel like I've lived in vain for the past few decades in front of you, and served in office for nothing for the past few decades?" Zhang Weimin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Well, then tell me, nothing else, I'm just gossiping. After all, I watched the Hengda Group grow step by step. Xu Jia has always respected me over the years. Even after I retired, he still came to visit me from time to time. Even Xingguo's construction company has received a lot of support from the Hengda Group! So I really want to hear what you think of Hengda. Of course... I just want to hear your opinion!,
"Old Secretary, from what you said, you know the situation of Hengda Group and Xu Jia's situation?" Ye Chen asked back.
Zhang Weimin nodded suddenly and seriously, "That's because I know a little bit about it, so I want to hear what you have to say!"
"Okay, then I'll tell you what I think. Hengda's road has probably come to an end... In fact, it has already reached a dead end a few years ago! Xu Jia's ambition is so big that he has blurred his own positioning. Looking back over the past ten or eight years, his tentacles have almost touched every field he can touch. He is too persistent in wanting to create his own business dynasty. Persistence itself is not a big problem. The problem is that without a system framework, it's like building a building. Without a stable stack, the building is bound to collapse!"
Zhang Weimin listened quietly and nodded.
Ye Chen continued, "However, the craziness of the real estate industry in the past few years has covered up the problems of Hengda itself. At the same time, it is also because of the capital accumulated by the crazy dividends of the real estate industry, plus the self-centeredness you just mentioned, I guess these two reasons made Xu Jia, who was full of confidence, naturally ignore those problems! Now the real estate industry, the foundation of Hengda, is heading towards a cold winter. When the foundation begins to shake, the crooked and stacked high-rise buildings are not far from falling down!"
"I know Xu Jia wants to go all out and bet on the auto sector, but I'm still not optimistic. I don't think Henda can make a comeback with this gamble, or I say I don't think they can win! Of course, as to why I'm not optimistic that they can win, there are too many aspects to consider, so I'll just use the word "intuition" to summarize it!" Ye Chen said.
"What will be the consequences if we lose the bet?" Zhang Weimin asked with a frown.
Ye Chen didn't answer.
Instead, he spread his hands, shook his head and smiled.
Then he continued, "In fact, Xu Jia sees through these things better than anyone else, but there is no way, he can't give up the word glory, he just wants to gamble!
"You mean to go all the way to the end?" Zhang Weimin looked at Ye Chen.
"I dare not say so. After all, I may not be right. I just told you my opinion when you asked me. However, these are my personal analysis based on my basic understanding of Hengda, so they are relatively one-sided. It's okay to chat with you, but it's inappropriate to make a big deal out of it!" Ye Chen chuckled.
Look at Ye Chen.
Zhang Weimin didn't speak for a long time.
The amazement in his eyes was indescribable.
It seemed that every time he communicated with Ye Chen, the other party's status in his heart would rise a little bit.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a blessing for the Zhang family that Jingshan can follow such a master!
"Why!
Finally, Zhang Weimin smiled deeply and sighed.
I don't know whether I feel sorry for Xu Jia or lament Hengda's future.
"Come on, let's not talk about that. I agreed to taste tea with you, but you are getting further and further away. This tea was sent by Huaili a few days ago. In his early years, he was the mayor of a town in southern Fujian. He was deeply loved by the local people. From time to time, representatives of the people there would visit him. There are several centuries-old tea trees in that town. The people there saved up two cakes of tea and asked the representatives of the people to send them to him. He couldn't refuse no matter how much he tried, so in the end he had to accept it and gave me a cake of tea. Haha..." Zhang Weimin said.
"I was wondering why the tea's soup and taste are so good. Could it be that this is a rare treasure from a century-old tree? No wonder!"
"Haha, then don't be in a hurry to leave. Accompany me, an old man, to have a good cup of tea and see both sides of the Taiwan Strait!"
"Okay, old secretary, if you can make a sound, I will definitely accompany you to the end!"
One old, one young.
The age difference is dozens of years.
But they sat there for two hours without any generation gap.
The communication involving all aspects never stopped, and they were like close friends regardless of age.
Until it was Zhang Weimin's break time.
Only then did Ye Chen leave.
Just started the Mercedes-Benz G.
Before I could step on the accelerator and leave.
Suddenly, Li Changfeng called.
"Hey, Changfeng!"
"Brother Ye, um, can you come out for a while? Jingshan is crazy, really crazy!"
