C159 A Thousand Glasses of Wine When Meeting a Confidant

Seeing that Fan Wenbin misunderstood his meaning and thought that he was asking for a rebate from him, Li Fan secretly smiled and said very solemnly, "This investment, Yang Chongguang, Director Yang, attaches great importance to it. Without his nod, the matter would not have succeeded. "

Actually, when Li Fanfang said "this will depend on Director Fan's performance," he really hinted to the other party that he should make Hucheng Group's financial report for the past three years more realistic, and not let people see through the falsehood at a glance, that was the most important.

After the matter, when Li Fan told Fan Wenbin clearly that because the financial report was fake, Yang Chongguang refused to invest in Hucheng Group, Fan Wenbin suddenly understood. He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He could not help but smash his chest a few times, but it was already too late. It was useless.

At this moment, seeing Li Fan mention Yang Chongguang very seriously, Fan Wenbin also said in a praising tone, "Director Yang is a genius. He was able to move around in the capital market that was full of strange clouds and clouds for decades. He relied on his profound and unique vision and outstanding talent to create a world. He is very impressive. "

On the second day after Li Fan represented Hu Yang Foundation and came to Daan to specially evaluate Huacheng Group, Fan Wenbin began to secretly investigate this low-profile and mysterious venture investment fund named "Hu Yang. "

At the same time, he understood the history of the head of the Golden Foundation, Yang Chongguang, who had dominated the capital market for decades and was known as' Daan Soros'.

After learning about Yang Chongguang's legendary experience, he sighed from the bottom of his heart. "I said it was hard for me, but compared to Yang Chongguang, it was nothing. It was just a piece of cake, not worth mentioning at all. "

In the quiet private room, Fan Wenbin and Li Fan were drinking the pure Five Grain Liquid while chatting with each other. On the surface, the atmosphere was very harmonious and pleasant, but deep in their hearts, they each had their own thoughts and plans.

In Li Fan's view, Fan Wenbin had bet all the treasures that could be successful in this financing on himself. He wanted to build a good relationship with Li Fan and finally get the 10 million USD investment from Hu Yang Investment Foundation. It was a very childish behavior.

He was just a business manager of Hu Yang Foundation, and he represented the Foundation to evaluate Hucheng Group. The final decision was still in Yang Chongguang's hands, which was the truth that he had just said, "Without his approval, it would be impossible to succeed. "

This was Li Fan's view. However, in Fan Wenbin's view, he did not know the head of the Hu Yang Foundation called Yang Chongguang at all. Even before this, he had never heard of Yang Chongguang, and now, the only solution was. . . There was only one way, and that was to use Li Fan, his old friend, to achieve his financial goal.

A few months ago, after Li Fan was inexplicably detained by the police, it was also when he was in trouble. Not only did he go to the detention center to visit him, but he also drank a large amount of sleeping pills and laid alone in the hospital bed. When he was lonely and helpless, it was very correct for him to visit him.

Looking at the slightly reserved Li Fan in front of him, Fan Wenbin could not help but let out a very deep sigh in his heart. People, no matter what, must have a good heart and treat helping others as a joy. Only in this way could they get help from others when they were unlucky.

Since ancient times, human relationships were cold and warm, and the world was cold. There were many people who added flowers to brocade, and there were very few people who could offer help in times of need. When some people were lonely and in distress, once they were assisted by others, when they rose up in the future, they would inevitably become close friends and repay each other with all their hearts.

In 1912, a strange person called Li Zongwu appeared in Sichuan. In the name of 'Divine Domination', he wrote a book that caused countless people in the country to click their tongues in shock. He named it 'Deep Black Studies' and called this method 'Cold Ovens'.

In this work that was reputed as a "Strange Book," the author had a unique perspective and a new perspective. He was a family of his own, and people could not help but admire his ability to sense and comprehend traditional culture.

He read the entire book. His writing was sharp, and his words were sarcastic and spicy. Many of his insights were breathtaking. With his strong sense of mission and keen insight, he deeply exposed and criticized the political darkness and corruption of the feudal society.

From then on, Mr. Li Zongwu called himself "The Black Cult Master. " Later on, he was reputed to be one of the 20 prodigies that affected China in the 20th century. His biographies were used as research topics, and he entered the university's curriculum.

When he was in university in the 1990s, Taiwanese writer Qiong Yao's romance novels, as well as Mr. Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, and Mr. Zhu's wuxia novels were very popular on campus. The Deep Courtyard, The Three Maps of Plum Blossom, The Legend of Shooting Eagle in the Clouds, The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Sabre, The White Hair Witch, and so on had attracted a large number of readers.

At the same time, strange books such as Thick Black Study, Law of Attraction, Goat Skin, and Guigu'zi were also very popular. They were content to teach people how to make their way into society quickly and successfully, attracting the attention of many young students.

Like other university students, Fan Wenbin also used his spare time to read these books with great curiosity. Among them, the one that he was most interested in and spent the most time on was Li Zongwu's Deep Black Studies.

More than thirty years later, after combining his social life experience, he turned around and thought about it carefully. He thought that the Burning Furnace Method was a kind of life wisdom that could see into the future, and also a kind of open-minded feeling that put himself in the shoes of others. When he helped others, he would often become himself too.

As far as he knew, Hu Xueyan, who was known as the "Red Peak Merchant," in later generations, was not only a Red Peak Merchant, but also a Red Peak Merchant, not only was he a Red Peak Merchant, but he was also a Red Peak Merchant. He was a rare business genius in this world. He was also a person who was good at scheming for the future. He was also an expert who was good at finding opportunities to burn a stove, a master level figure.

When he was 25 years old, Hu Xueyan was a low-ranking street worker at Fukang Bank in Hangzhou. He had a chance to meet a scholar named Wang Youling while drinking tea in the teahouse.

At that time, Wang Youling's father had just died in Hangzhou. He was in the most difficult situation of his life. He sat in the teahouse all day, sighing helplessly for three meals. This was the truth that Hu Xueyan saw.

One should know that when a person needed help the most, it was also the most embarrassing moment for him. Although Hu Xueyan was just a street worker of Hangzhou's Fukang Bank, he had sharp eyes and a meticulous mind. He understood this principle very well, and he also had the ability to recognize people.

After a heart-to-heart conversation, Hu Xueyan had a rough understanding of Wang Youling's situation. At that moment, he felt that the scholar in front of him was no ordinary person. If he could help him make up for his deficiencies and become an official, it would definitely be of great help to him in the future.

Thus, after Hu Xueyan carefully observed him, he secretly believed that even though Wang Youling was in dire straits, he was a person who would definitely repay kindness. At the same time, he also made up his mind that if there was only a chance, he must think of a way to help this young scholar who was the same age as him.

With this thought in mind, Hu Xueyan took advantage of a very difficult opportunity. He borrowed 500 taels of silver from the bank and generously lent it to Wang Youling. He let Wang Youling use it to buy officials, and. . . He generously said, "You and I are friends. You have difficulties, and I don't feel good about it either. If I don't give you a hand. . . I won't be able to sleep.

These words moved Wang Youling so much that tears flowed down his face on the spot. He couldn't help but secretly swear that if he had an official position in the future or if he had a time when he was rich and powerful, he would definitely repay this friend who saved his life in a crisis.

Later, with these 500 taels of silver, after a few twists and turns, he was finally able to make up for a deficit. Wang Youling became a small official in charge of maritime transportation. Following which, good luck came again and again, and the official became more and more successful. After being the prefectural governor of Hangzhou for a few years, he was promoted to the Zhejiang Patrol Officer, and his fame and power had skyrocketed for a period of time.

As Hu Xueyan had expected, after Wang Youling became rich and powerful because of being an official, he did not forget that when he was in dire straits, he had received Hu Xueyan's help. Therefore, he had made use of his power to repay his benefactor.

While Wang Youling was the governor of Hangzhou, Hu Xueyan started to act as the manager of the Huzhou Public House. He set up a silk store in Huzhou and used the cash found in the Huzhou Public House to help farmers raise silkworms. Then, he bought the silkworms on the spot and transported them to Hangzhou, Shanghai, and other places. After he sold the silvers, he changed them into cash and handed them over to the "General Treasury" in Zhejiang Province. He did not need to pay a single cent of interest.

Then, with the help of Wang Youling's power, she persuaded the Inspector of Zhejiang, Huang Zonghan, to invest in the opening of the Hu Qing Yu Tang Pharmacy. She arranged for the supply of medicine to be arranged among the grain transport personnel and quickly developed the pharmacy, winning the reputation of the Jiangnan Medicine King.

After that, as Wang Youling's official rank continued to rise, Hu Xueyan's business also became bigger and bigger. Apart from the Fukang Bank, he also opened many shops in the country and truly embarked on the smooth road of fortune.

The Great Qing Dynasty's Xian Feng decade was 1860 years. A series of events that stunned and humiliated the people of China happened. Burning the Yuan Ming Garden, the Emperor escaping, the capital being occupied, and the agreement to sell the country. And so on and so forth, this was a 'tragedy' that the people of China had never heard of before. As for the Chinese scholars who could not bear to be called directly, they used the 'Changes of Geng Shen' to describe the series of humiliating events that had happened in this year.

This year was the year when the country suffered a major injury. But it became the beginning of the great development of Hu Xueyan. In the change of Geng Shen, he had not been alarmed at all. He had secretly established a connection with the military, and a large amount of recruitment funds had been deposited in his bank. Later on, He was also entrusted with the task of handling grain machinery, comprehensive transportation, and other important matters, and he basically controlled more than half of Zhejiang's wartime finances. He had established the foundation of the "Red Peak Merchant. "

This was a very legendary story that was known by almost everyone in China. From the first day Fan Wenbin knew about it, his heart was filled with deep admiration for Hu Xueyan, the "Red Top Merchant," and he secretly believed that this was the greatness of Hu Xueyan, who was good at cooking cold stoves.

Now, many people thought that Hu Xueyan was a natural-born adventurer, and that was why he had won the business. And because he was headstrong and self-obsessed, he did not know how to change, and his dissolute personality caused him to suffer a crushing defeat and die a miserable death.

However, Fan Wenbin felt that Hu Xueyan's heart was firm, and he also had a strong sense of responsibility. He was extremely responsible, and after careful deliberation, at the critical moment, he resolutely made the decision of investing in Wang Youling, which would decide the future of the two of them. That was the fundamental reason why Hu Xueyan was able to become a "Red Peak Merchant. "

Many people also said that life was a gamble. If he won, he won, but if he lost, it would be fine. Was that really the case? No, it wasn't like this at all. If life was a gamble, Then we're all gamblers?

If we didn't have a detailed understanding of Wang Youling's actual situation, didn't consider how to deal with him after the boss discovered that he had secretly misappropriated money, didn't know what to do after being snitched on by his colleagues, and so on and so forth. . . Then he would have made a blind bet. It was impossible for a person to succeed by gambling alone, because he would lose nine out of ten.

Anyone would encounter a few crucial opportunities in their life that could change their fate. These turning points often determined the future of one's life. If the turning point was good, one's life would welcome a bright future. Otherwise, one's life would be dull and obscure.

Using 500 taels of silver to invest in the King's aged future, on the surface, there was a huge risk. However, the reason why Hu Xueyan dared to do so was because he had carefully considered and analyzed it. In today's words, it was a very confident venture investment.

In the business world, it was impossible for investment to not have risks. Investments without risks did not exist in this world at all. As for those "this project, I guarantee that you will make 100% of the money" words, they were definitely lies.

As long as investment was invested, there would be risks. Furthermore, the greater the risk, the more profits there would be. The risks and profits were proportionate. Hence, success depended on the judgment of the investors and their ability to grasp the risks.

In the end, Hu Xueyan won. An investment of merely 500 taels of silver won the eternal reputation of "Red Peak Merchant. " Wang Youling also won. He started his business with a mere 500 taels of silver. In the end, he became the Inspector of Zhejiang. This was a win-win strategy that neither of the two young men had thought of at the beginning. But in the end, one of them was in the government. The other in the business world, became the big winner of life.

At this moment, in the quiet and elegant room of the River Gazing Tower, Fan Wenbin thought that if he could get the 10 million USD investment from the Hu Yang Foundation through Li Fan, he might be able to achieve the second rise of Hucheng Group, and he would not have to worry about Hefeng Financial Group controlling Hucheng Group.

Thinking of this, he had a sincere smile on his face. Once again, he raised his wine glass and said loudly and confidently, "Come, Section Chief Li, to thank you for your hard work and to make our common cause more glorious, let's have another toast. "

As the saying goes, a thousand glasses of wine is not enough to meet a bosom friend. Although many people often drank, they did not understand the real purpose of drinking. They simply thought that at the table, they would do everything they could to get the other party drunk. Then, they would have a drinking frenzy together, and that would be considered a real drinking pleasure.

In fact, China's culture was a very mysterious yin and yang culture. In all things, if there was a bright side, there would be a dark side. If there was a righteous side, there would be a negative side. If there was day, there would also be night. One principle.

Drinking was the same. On the surface, it was drinking, but the real wonderful thing was to shorten the distance between people. In the beginning, they did not drink. Some things were hard to say, and some things were not easy to do. However, after drinking three cups of wine, they seemed to be much more intimate with each other. They called each other brothers, so they talked more.

Whenever they were drunk and their ears were hot, when they called each other brothers, the topic would change to the real purpose of drinking together today. Only then did they dare to talk about serious things or do things that they did not dare to do before drinking.

During this period, if they said something wrong or if there was anything wrong with it, they would laugh and say, "You drank too much, don't take offense. " They did not feel awkward, so they would be safe and sound.

In the future, when they met again, no one would take the initiative to mention the terrible thing about drinking again. If someone mentioned it, they would just laugh and say it. "I drank too much, and I don't remember anything anymore. " This way, everyone would still appear to be good friends on the surface. This was the wonderful part of the "wine culture. "

"Brother, you are my good brother, and also my benefactor" Putting down the wine cup, Fan Wenbin immediately took out a bank card and handed it to Li Fan with both hands. He laughed and spat out a strong smell of wine. He said, "This is a small thing of mine, please accept it. "

Li Fan quickly stood up and used his hands to block it with all his strength. He also said with a smile, "Manager Fan. You and I have been brothers for many years, what's there to be courteous about? Quickly take it back, take it back. "

Before the matter was settled, Li Fan had already decided that he would not take a single cent from Hua Cheng Group. Because after looking at the company's financial report for the past three years, he immediately had a vague feeling that the chances of success were not high.

Once he received the other party's money or some precious gift, and the matter could not be done, how would he explain it to Fan Wenbin? Rather than making it very difficult for him in the future, he might as well reject it right now. This way, he would leave a way out, and in the future, the two of them would meet again.

However, Fan Wenbin also said firmly, "Division Chief Li, I drank too much, so please don't take offense. " As he spoke, he threw the bank card on the table and shouted loudly towards the outside. "Du Yongjun, Boss Du, where did your son hide? Come out and pay the bill. "
