Although Xu Lei understood that everything before him was already in turmoil, and that it was happening faster than predicted.
Only then will they have to work hard to do everything at hand, so that no one can find any fault with them.
Xu Lei knew that Jiang Tian must think he had gotten a great deal and was starting to show off.
Sure enough, at the chamber of commerce salon just two days later, Xu Lei didn't want to go, but Chen Shuting dragged him there anyway.
"Didn't you want to do that LED project?"
"There's one, a foreign company called Pete."
"Go and have a good talk with him."
Xu Lei was a little hesitant; he just wanted to do some more research for now.
Seeing that Xu Lei hesitated, Chen Shuting handed him the suit and told Xiao Qiang to drive there quickly.
"Hurry up!"
"Your boss is trying to slack off again!"
Chapter 212 Business Salon
"The market is changing rapidly these days. Aren't you eager to land a big deal? If so, then show us what you've got."
"Don't stay here any longer, it makes me feel awkward."
Chen Shuting could only sigh helplessly, seeing that Xu Lei had already pushed things to this point.
So I figured if I wanted to do the LED project, I had to get started quickly.
Xu Lei could only nod silently, but he was too lazy to attend such salons.
"If I really want to do this, I'll go and investigate overseas markets first, and then build the factory."
"Let's look at other projects."
"In salons like this, everyone's always holding champagne and cigars, swaying and acting all high and mighty. I find it annoying just looking at them..."
"You know, I've never been able to connect with those pretentious people. They're always talking big, rambling on and on to make themselves seem so great."
"In the end, isn't it just bragging?"
"If we're really going to do business, then we have to get down to business."
Xu Lei was speechless, but Chen Shuting felt that even if she was unhappy, she had to go and listen to this kind of salon.
What if there's any information that I missed?
“These past two days you’ve been playing games all the time. I knew you were better off sitting here getting moldy than going out for a walk.”
Chen Shuting then sent him out to do some socializing.
Gao Qiqiang had just returned from the project site when he saw Gao Qisheng sitting next to him, looking at him with a wronged expression, his resentment and anger evident in his eyes.
"what?"
Gao Qiqiang asked him irritably, knowing that his younger brother was supposed to be at work today.
But before it was time to leave work, he was already sitting in his living room waiting for him, looking at him with an inquiring expression.
Gao Qiqiang knew that he must have come for the Xiaolong mobile phone production line.
"Do you know that Jiang Tian has already bought that production line?!"
"And it's still the same price, not a penny more. I told you long ago, this is a good deal!"
"Now that Jiang Tian has gotten there first, he's probably quite pleased with himself."
Gao Qiqiang was also going to attend the salon, so he returned from the construction site early to change his clothes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he heard Gao Qisheng questioning him.
"What? Are you still daydreaming about that project?"
Gao Qiqiang was a little annoyed. He really didn't want his younger brother to get involved in these things. It was better for him to just do his own job properly.
He only has one younger brother, and he's the smartest one. I don't want him to get involved with anything bad.
"If you support me, this project is now in my hands!"
“This is a great deal, but I just need that little bit of start-up capital. Otherwise, why would he be showing off to me like that?”
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly, feeling even more that everything at this moment was like losing a huge treasure.
Even though he had already found the treasure map, he ended up missing something because he kept reaching for it.
Gao Qisheng was extremely conflicted, and Xu Lei finally agreed to let go of Xiaolong's phone.
He had been eagerly anticipating this opportunity.
But he never got his hands on it, so he blamed his brother for ruining his life.
"From childhood to adulthood, you have never supported me in anything I've done."
"You always tell me to study hard and be a bookworm before you're happy!"
“I wanted to start my own business when I graduated, but you disagreed.”
"I'm just going to work, do you know how stifled I feel every day?"
"I have a lot of passion, but I can't express it."
Gao Qisheng slammed his fist on the table and glared at him.
Gao Qiqiang crossed his arms, never expecting that his younger brother would have such a big grudge against him, the older brother.
He worked hard to earn money, hoping to make his life comfortable and away from all this fighting.
He was supposed to be working properly, but now he was turning around and saying these things to him, so Gao Qiqiang was stunned.
"Do you think it's so easy for Xu Lei's money to just slip into your pocket?"
"Has reading so many books made me stupid? His money is so easy to earn!"
"Even though Xu Lei didn't say anything, Jiang Tian got his hands on this cell phone line, and that's a ticking time bomb. You'll see."
After Gao Qiqiang finished speaking, Gao Qisheng didn't believe him at all; he was too optimistic about the production line.
He was extremely annoyed that he hadn't received it, and his brother was still making sarcastic remarks to him.
How could he not feel bad? So he could only sigh silently.
"Don't keep sighing like that. I bet you, his production line will have an accident within six months."
· ······Requesting flowers· ········
Kao Chi-sheng was too lazy to talk to him about these things, and too lazy to argue with his brother anymore.
"You're such an old-fashioned person, you wouldn't understand anything I say, you're already out of touch."
After saying that, he picked up his own words and angrily left the living room.
Gao Qiqiang was left alone, sighing silently.
Every time he worried and schemed for this family, all he got in the end was his younger brother's hatred, which made him feel terrible.
As soon as Gao Qilan got home, she could smell the gunpowder in the air.
So I felt a little uneasy.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Gao Qilan quickly put down the bag and documents in her hands.
"Brother, are you going out?"
. . . 0
As soon as Gao Qilan entered the door, she saw Gao Qisheng rush out in a huff.
I called him "brother" twice, but he didn't respond. I guess the two of us had another argument.
When Gao Qilan suddenly returned, Gao Qiqiang put away his dejected expression.
"nothing."
"I have to attend a salon tonight, so I probably won't be able to have dinner with you at home."
"Or you can come with me. It's not a formal meeting. Everyone just sits there eating and chatting. If you don't mind being bored, you can come along."
"Xu Lei is going too."
Gao Qilan wasn't particularly interested in this kind of gathering, but when she heard that Xu Lei would be there, she became a little interested, and her face flushed slightly.
In fact, Gao Qiqiang knew that Xu Lei was an ambitious and quick-witted person.
Gao Qiqiang had no objection to Gao Qilan dating him, and now that the two of them were working together on the Niluo Village project, he could feel Xu Lei's maturity and vision.
"Okay, I'll change my clothes and then I'll go with you."
After Gao Qilan finished speaking, she nodded slightly. Gao Qiqiang wanted to go find Xu Lei.
On the other hand, seeing that her brother had just finished being angry, she wanted to spend more time talking to him and also offer some words of comfort on the way.
Xu Lei arrived at the salon quickly.
Jiang Tian was holding a glass of champagne, looking very pleased with himself. He was surrounded by four or five people who kept congratulating him on getting the Xiaolong production line.
This was an open secret in the industry, but Jiang Tian, for some unknown reason, insisted that An Hongding step in to help him secure this connection.
Chapter 213 Making a fortune
Xu Lei really felt it was unnecessary, but since he thought it was feasible...
Xu Lei was relieved.
Xu Lei wanted to let him know many things, and he had already made plans, including many secrets that he already knew.
I'm just too lazy to confront him.
If he were truly intelligent, he would know that he had paved the way and done a great deal for this project, and would never have messed things up with just a few words.
We're all smart people; things need to be explained.
"I took over this line without really understanding what was going on."
Jiang Tian spoke with feigned modesty, clearly enjoying the flattery he received.
Xu Lei really couldn't understand what this person was thinking, so twisted yet so sensitive.
"Looking at everyone, only you have the ability to take over this production line!"
"Otherwise, who could mobilize so much cash flow in such a short time?"
"This is a rare opportunity. Boss Jiang, don't forget us old-timers when you make a fortune."
After saying that, he laughed heartily, and the other party was not modest at all.
He simply nodded slightly.
"Well, we're all friends, so let's help each other out. We have a long road ahead of us!"
"Business goes more smoothly when everyone helps each other out, right?"
Xu Lei noticed that he could come up with such polite words so easily.
Moreover, he wasn't ashamed at all; he exuded a sleazy aura.
It was a blatant act of underhanded development. Just as Xu Lei was watching his one-man show, which was quite lively, Gao Qiqiang brought Gao Qilan in.
Gao Qilan looked shy when she saw Xu Lei.
"Hey, Mr. Xu, why are you standing at the door instead of going in?"
Gao Qiqiang was somewhat surprised, but when he looked inside, he found Jiang Tian standing in the center, happily showing off like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
The cane in their hands had been replaced with a gleaming gold one, so dazzling it hurt the eyes of others.
"Today, I can't steal the spotlight from others. I'll just watch from the sidelines."
Xu Lei bowed to him.
Gao Qiqiang knew all too well that Xu Lei was a humble and low-key person. Even if he did something big, he would remain very calm and never show off in front of others.
On the other hand, Jiang Tian is now like a hen that has laid an egg, standing in the middle and squawking loudly.
Others may see it as flattery, but behind the scenes, they don't know how to mock it.
