C173 Red and Black Game

At this moment, standing in front of the window of the Yellow River Pearl Club's living room, staring alone at the somewhat cold and empty plaza in the cold wind, this sentence once again rumbled in Huang Chengzong's ears.

How could he not let Fan Wenbin take a fancy to the Huang Family's joke? This question, he thought about it for many days. Ever since his father went to White Cloud Temple, especially at night, he had been thinking about it repeatedly, but he had never come up with a good idea.

Now, Fan Wenbin was the chairman of the Daan Chamber of Commerce. Although he did not have as high prestige as his father, he still got the support of a group of people. If he openly provoked him, it might backfire and be very disadvantageous to him.

If he wanted to punish this wolf with the surname Fan, he would let him know that the Huang family was not so easy to bully. It seemed like he had to think of another way.

It was only a few days ago, when he accidentally found out a very important piece of news, that his train of thought suddenly opened up. At the same time, in an instant, he thought of a very clever and brilliant way to deal with Fan Wenbin.

There was an American venture capitalist named Brady. Under the lead of the boss of Shenzhen Phantom, Chen Zhijie, he mysteriously came to Daan County. He secretly inspected a few companies that had some influence and wanted to choose one of them to invest in.

After hearing this news, Huang Chengzong was overjoyed. He quickly found out about the hotel they were staying in and had a preliminary communication with Chen Zhijie in an attempt to get Brady to invest in Hanhong electronics.

However, he did not expect Chen Zhijie to reject with a smile. In the end, Brady still had not decided which company he wanted to invest in. He had to wait for a while.

However, he also clearly told Huang Chengzong that Hucheng Group's Hanhong Appliances and Pang Chengchuan's Red Leaf Hotel Management Company were the three companies that Brady had chosen after some investigation.

As for the 50 million USD capital, it would depend on Brady's final attitude. This American, who had lived in China for many years, understood the current situation of China very well. He was very astute.

Then, Huang Chengzong learned that Chen Zhijie led Brady to Hua Cheng Corporation personally. He closed the door and talked with Fan Wenbin for an entire afternoon. As for what he had talked about, he was not sure yet.

After that, Fan Wenbin held another emergency meeting with Hua Cheng Group's board of directors. In the meeting, he gave a generous speech, gave instructions, and talked about the urgency and many benefits of financing.

Finally, under the incitement of his flowery words, the board of directors of the Hucheng Group finally agreed to the financing, and authorized him to take full responsibility. Only Zhou Boyi was strongly opposed to it.

These pieces of news, little by little, made Huang Chengzong feel great pressure. At the same time, he also saw a glimmer of hope, as if he could see a glimmer of hope on the eastern horizon through the heavy and thick dark clouds.

Defeating Fan Wenbin, Pang Chengchuan, and striving to obtain this huge sum of 50 million USD, allowing the scale of Hanhong Home Appliances to rise to a higher level, had become the greatest wish that he had dreamed of day and night.

At the same time, how could he defeat his greatest opponent, Fan Wenbin, with great strength? It also became the most important matter that he racked his brains to scheme at all times.

It seemed that he still had to make a trip to White Cloud Temple to discuss this matter with his father and listen to the old man's thoughts. After a long time, Huang Chengzong let out a long breath. At the same time that he made up his mind, he revealed a trace of a smile.

During the winter season, the Black Orchid Mountain was covered in withered vegetation and sparse tourists. The temple buildings of various colors and colors appeared very lonely and desolate in the cold wind. There were even a few that had been closed for a long time.

Compared to this, the White Cloud Temple was a completely different scene. The tidy living room was filled with a very pleasant atmosphere. The small teapot on the stove was emitting wisps of hot air, adding a lot of warmth that many cold people yearned for.

When Huang Chengzong stepped into the living room, Huang Weidong was holding a teacup and playing chess with Zhenzi Yangzi wholeheartedly, walking to a critical juncture where it was difficult to tell who was better or worse.

It had already been a long time since he came to Baiyun Monastery to recuperate his mind and body. When Huang Chengzong saw that his father's face was rosy and that his spirit was much better than before, he could not help but feel a great sense of relief and happiness.

As long as his father's spirit was alive, even if there was a great disaster, Han Hongelectrical appliances wouldn't collapse. The Huang Family would also suffer. There was a saying that goes, how difficult it is to prosper. To a family, it was hard to prosper.

At this moment, Huang Weidong and Zheng Yangzi were playing chess to the critical point. They were about to see who was better and who was worse. They did not notice their son at all and only kept urging the other party to play chess.

During the days in Baiyun Temple, other than listening to Zhenyang Yangzi explain the 'Book of Dao Virtue', they drank tea and chatted while playing chess. Occasionally, when they encountered a very warm weather, Huang Weidong would come out and walk around. He would breathe in fresh air and exercise his body.

Many days passed very quickly. The grudges and grudges of the past gradually faded away. He felt that his heart had broadened even more. He would occasionally think of the many things that he had schemed against and schemed against in the past, and he would feel that it was very funny. It was as if he had just had a nightmare.

Sometimes, when faced with these ancient temples that had been standing firmly for hundreds of years, he could not help but have a very strange thought.

Why did he have such childish and foolish words at that time? He forced himself to the point of not being able to sleep or eat for the sake of a tiny profit. Why did he have to do that?

Life was short, but it was also very short. It was just a few decades. It was long, but it was also very long. It would take a few decades. Whether you live happily or not depended on how you treat the ups and downs in your life.

For every matter, if you take it seriously, or if you take it to heart, it will be hard to have a good mood. If he was open-minded when it came to things, he would find less trouble for himself. Then, he would be able to live a few more years in peace.

At the entrance of a great hall where Maitreya Buddha was worshipped, a couplet with such a profound meaning was written. It attracted Huang Weidong's attention. While pondering deeply, it also made him remember it in his heart.

The first couplet laughed as soon as it opened its mouth, laughing at the present when everything was put into a smile. The second half of the couplet: His big belly could tolerate everything, including heaven and earth, and he could tolerate everything.

That's right, there was no one in this world who couldn't make things difficult for themselves, and the only one who couldn't make things difficult for themselves was themselves. His heart became smaller, and in front of him were trenches that couldn't be crossed. When one's heart became bigger, there were many bright paths in front of them.

The trench was still the main path. The key was how one looked at it. It depended on whether one's heart was big or small, and not on others. Whether or not he would make things difficult for him. When the stones on the road were big, they could walk around. Why did they have to face the stones head on?

Furthermore. In the mysterious book that Zhen Yangzi had explained to him, the person called laozi had clearly explained the principles of how the people of the world lived and how they lived in the world.

"'Soft wins in toughness, weak wins in strength ',' softest in the world, 'the softest in the world', 'the king of the Hundred Grains of the Hundred Grains of the River', and so on. He had said it so deeply that he had seen through all the major competitions in the world.

"The life of a person is weak, and the death of a person is strong too. The life of a person is weak too, and the death of a person is strong too. The life of plants was weak as well, and they withered even when they died. Weak and weak, everything in the world. At the bottom of it all, there was not a single thing that wasn't soft that countered hardness. To be able to counter hardness and softness, wasn't it even harder?

Hence, Huang Weidong, who had struggled hard in the Shang Sea for several decades, He was like a primary school student who had just started learning. He suddenly understood a lot of principles. To be honest, these reasons. . . He had never understood them before. Or perhaps, he had only vaguely understood a little bit of the meaning.

At this moment, seeing Huang Chengzong walk in, ZhenYangzi Zi raised his head and smiled slightly, saying, "Goldie, take a seat. If you want tea, pour it yourself. " Then, he continued to lower his head and gamble with Huang Weidong.

Towards Huang Chengzong, this kind of young man who was called a "rich second generation" in society, ZhenYangzi Zi had always had a strong sense of disdain. He thought that they would not become a big deal if they were not successful.

However, due to the face of his father, Huang Weidong, he had no choice but to be very careful when interacting with him. Instead, he had always been very cautious and maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close. It was just right and could not be too far.

Regarding this, Huang Chengzong was clearly aware. He opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and didn't pay too much attention to the fuss. In his heart, a half-human and half-ghost like ZhenYangzi was useless besides pretending to be mysterious and swindling others.

Of course, for people like monks and Taoists, regardless of whether they were male or female, he had always thought that it was best to avoid provoking them as much as possible. It was just that on account of his father's face, every time he met with Zhenzi Yangzi, he would be polite and tacitly understanding each other.

At this moment, when he saw that the two of them were playing chess until the critical moment of deciding who would win or lose, Huang Chengzong only nodded slightly to express his gratitude. He just stood by the side and watched silently and seriously.

He knew that his father did not have any special hobbies besides being busy and tiring at work. If he really wanted to find his greatest hobby, it would be playing chess. Furthermore, his standard was quite high.

Huang Weidong ignored his son's arrival. He did not even raise his head to look at his son. He only cared about playing his own chess. Because he knew that his son must have encountered a huge problem when he specially came up the mountain to look for him. Otherwise, this kid would not have come to visit him, the father.

Just like that. . . The three of them didn't speak anymore. Their eyes were fixed on the red and black chess pieces on the chessboard. For a moment, the room was filled with a tense atmosphere. Only the pieces that were placed on the chessboard made a loud and clear sound.

The formation of the chess pieces had a close relationship with the "Chu and Han Conflicts" that occurred at the end of the Qin Dynasty. The chess pieces had dividends and black colors. The handsome side was red while the other side was black. It was commonly known as "Red Commander and Black General. "

There was also a reason for this. When chess was first formed, people usually used the Red Commander to represent Liu Bang, the black one to represent Xiangyu, the red one to represent Liu Bang's Han Army, and the black one to represent the Chu Army.

It was rumored that Liu Bang had led his uprising in Mount Mang and personally killed a large white snake on the mountain. This was the story of the famous and mysterious Gao Zu slaying a snake.

It was said that after Liu Bang killed the large white snake, an old woman cried and came up the mountain, saying that her son was the son of the White Emperor, who had transformed into a white snake to play on the mountain and was killed by the son of the Red Emperor. She was heartbroken. With that said, the old woman suddenly disappeared.

The meaning of the story was very obvious. It meant that the Qin Dynasty would be replaced by a new dynasty. Ever since he killed White Snake, Liu Bang called himself the son of Crimson Emperor, and he especially liked red, even changing the flag of the army to red.

On the other hand, he liked black very much. His clothes and clothes were all pure black, and even the horse of the Dusk Stallion was completely black. "Red Commander Black General" probably came from this.

In addition, anyone who knew how to play chess knew that the generals of both sides could not meet directly. Such a rule also had basis.

According to historical records, during the Great War of Chu and Han, Liu Bang had cursed at the overlord of the West Chu, Xiangyu, on Mount Guangwu. In the end, he was shot by the Chu soldiers and almost lost his life. This might be the origin of why generals could not meet face to face.

Judging from the formation and development of chess, it was the reappearance of ancient wars on the chessboard, and the name of "Chu Hehan" on the chessboard was based on the history of the conflict between Chu and Han.

Huang Weidong's chess skills were very high, but Zhenzi Yangzi's standard was not low either. The two of them played chess very cautiously and nervously. They kept pace with each other until the victor was decided. Only then did they laugh loudly and end the game.

"Director Huang's standards have improved again these few days. " Although he had lost the game, Zhenyang Zi's expression was very calm. He said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I'm afraid that it will take some effort for me to defeat you in the future. "

Huang Weidong was very happy that he had defeated his opponent in the end. He revealed an innocent smile like that of a child and said loudly, "Elder Daoist, you are deliberately giving in to me. Otherwise, how could I have won so quickly?"

Then, he stared at his son and asked in a deep voice, "Chengzong, it's such a cold day. Did you come to White Cloud Temple for something urgent?"

Before Huang Chengzong could say anything, Zhenyang Yangzi said with a smile, "It's been a long time since you two have met. We have something to talk about. I have something to do too. " Before he could finish his sentence, he left.

"There's something urgent that I need to discuss with you. " Huang Chengzong filled his father's teacup with water and poured himself another cup. He sat across from his father and told him about the American Brady's investment in Daan in detail.

In the end, he said, "I heard that the person called Chen Zhijie was the boss of Fan Wenbin when he worked in Shenzhen. He was very partial to Fan Wenbin and also led Brady to Hua Cheng Corporation to meet Fan Wenbin. "

After drinking a mouthful of boiling water, he saw that his father was deep in thought and said, "Dad, I came to look for you because I wanted to discuss with you how to get the Americans to invest the 50 million in Hanhong Appliances?"

During the days of recuperation at Baiyun Monastery, whenever there was a big matter, Huang Chengzong would call his father to ask for his opinion or suggestions according to his father's instructions before he left. However, this was the first time he had personally come to Baiyun Monastery to ask for advice.

It could be seen that this brat attached great importance to this financing. Huang Weidong drank his tea and thought to himself, I've been in the business world for several decades and have traveled all over the world. I've never heard of this American investment company called Ritno.

However, I quickly understood. In these few years, with the rapid development of the era, especially since the 21st century, China had become more open. It had formed a comprehensive multi-layered wide open structure, attracting more foreign investors into the China market.

At the same time, many risky investment companies had been set up in China, and a large amount of funds were invested into those high-tech companies that had potential for development. Those foreign investment institutions, such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sheng Asia, were also unwilling to fall behind, and they all set their eyes on the China company.

Although risky investments started to appear in China in the middle of the 1980s, it attracted a lot of people's attention. It was in 1998. This year, the famous "Proposal 1" was released. It was seen as the turning point of China's venture capital entering the actual exploration and operation stage. Therefore, many people considered this year as the true beginning of their venture investment in China.

In March 1998, the National Political Conference held one of its nine meetings. The President of the Civil Building Central Committee, Cheng Siwei, submitted the proposal to develop our country's venture investment business as soon as possible. Due to the high weight of the proposal, it was highly valued by the General Assembly and was listed as the "Proposal No. 1" of the ninth session of the National Consultant Council.

The National Political Consultation Proposal Committee held a Proposal Chamber of Commerce and invited the National Science and Technology Committee, the National Economic and Trade Committee, the Ministry of Finance, the People's Bank, and the Securities Regulator to participate. In the end, it was decided that the National Science and Technology Committee would take the lead to handle the Proposal.

The appearance of the Proposal made China's venture investment industry start to receive the attention of the government. It clearly told people that the venture investment industry would welcome a rapid development period in China.

Since then, venture investments attracted widespread attention and attention in China. The subscriber of this proposal, the Deputy Chairman of the National People's Congress, was called the "Father of China's Risk Investment. " Proposal No. 1 also became a classic that people would never forget when they talked about danger.

The Political Conference's Proposal No. 1 caused a thousand waves. After that, the risk investment flourished in China. Since 1998, only Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen had set up hundreds of entrepreneurship and investment agencies in China, attracting many international investment agencies.

"Proposal 1 and the rapid development of China's venture capital industry caused a huge reaction in the country, and the awareness of the venture capital rose rapidly. It was only then that people realized that entrepreneurship could borrow the power of venture investment. It turned out that many of the world's richest people started from venture investment.

At that time, Huang Weidong was also tempted to bring in venture capitalists, but after thinking about it, he was also worried about the Hanhong Appliances that he had painstakingly created. Once he was controlled by the venture capitalist, wouldn't he end up as a 'wedding gift' for others?

Hence, in the process of development, whenever there was a shortage of funds, he would still use the same old method to look for banks to borrow money. Comparatively, he would be more at ease and secure.

Now, this American venture investment company called Ritno had actually come to this small county town called Daan without making a sound. It was 50 million USD at once. This could not help but make Huang Weidong's heart skip a beat.
