Chapter 1189 Reminder
Zhang Ruihua grinned, took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it and took a puff, "In this society, if the bold are starved to death and the timid are starved to death, what else can you accomplish if you are afraid of wolves in front of you and tigers in the back?"
"President, are you afraid that other steel mills will grow and threaten Dengfeng's status?"
Two years ago, Zhang Ruihua would never have dared to say these words, because at that time Zhang Xiaobai was the general manager of Dengfeng and his good friend Li Xianglong was the boss of Dingran.
Working in the steel industry in Tangcheng and offending these two people is tantamount to asking for death.
That’s not the case now. Zhang Xiaobai quit Dengfeng and Li Xianglong resigned from his post. So what are you afraid of?
Zhao Tianhao and Cheng Jianhui were sitting at another table, not far away, and heard Zhang Ruihua's words.
Cheng Jianhui seemed to be saying to himself: "Just do it, I don't know how you will die by then."
Zhao Tianhao smiled and said: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and someone's going to hang herself, just let him be!"
Zhang Xiaobai smiled bitterly. He was really kind-hearted and treated him like a donkey. A dog biting Lu Dongbin didn't recognize a kind heart.
Zhang Xiaobai looked around and glanced at the bosses present, "Are you also thinking about increasing investment and expanding the scale?"
Some people laughed and some sneered, but no one answered this question. The current situation has indeed moved many people's minds.
Most of these people started from scratch and have developed to the present. They have different personalities and temperaments, but they have one thing in common. They all worked hard and gambled step by step, and they were unambiguous when it was time to take action.
Zhang Xiaobai took a slow drag on his cigarette and glanced across the entire hall. Sister Jing said that many people were ready to make a move. The big boss would build a steel factory, the middle boss would build a small iron factory, and the small boss would build a dressing plant.
So these people are preparing for big moves in the coming year.
Zhang Xiaobai snapped his fingers at the waiter and asked for a microphone.
Standing up, Zhang Xiaobai blew into the microphone, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
"Comrades from Tangcheng, taking this opportunity, Xiaobai has a few words to say."
Everyone looked at the man standing on the chair.
Zhang Xiaobai continued: "No one can predict the future. You can only judge the market trend through your own understanding."
"Not to mention nonsense, I think the current development of the steel industry is too abnormal, just like the last madness before extinction, so I suggest that everyone should be more cautious when investing, and invest according to your ability."
“That’s all I have to say, I’ve disturbed everyone’s elegance. Thank you all again for supporting me!”
Zhang Xiaobai raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "I dedicate this glass of wine to the brothers and sisters of the Chamber of Commerce!"
Zhang Xiaobai drank it all in one gulp.
There were also those who cheered, some who took a big sip, and some such as Zhang Ruihua who just took a sip.
The amount of wine you drink can probably tell how much sincerity and respect there is.
After drinking the glass, Zhang Xiaobai started to take turns toasting with the wine glass. Today he is the protagonist.
Li Xiongfei sighed and said, "Mr. Zhang, is this too much? Xiaobai doesn't mean any harm, it's just a kind reminder. Whether you believe it or not, you shouldn't talk like that!"
Zhang Ruihua was still holding the cigar in his mouth, looking at Li Xiongfei with squinting eyes, and sneered: "Mr. Li, if you remember correctly, you lost a lot of money because of the Australian mine incident, right? I heard what you are doing now Garden? Hahahaha..."
"Mr. Li, are pears more expensive than ores?"
Li Xiongfei waved his hand and said, "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything!"
Zhang Ruihua snorted and raised his glass to drink with the big boss next to him.
The two took a sip, and Zhang Ruihua whispered: "Don't listen to Zhang Xiaobai, that guy is very insidious. He is afraid that other steel mills will suddenly rise, affecting Dengfeng's interests and threatening his position as president of Tangcheng."
To become the president of the Tangcheng Chamber of Commerce, you must be a big shot in the Tangcheng business community. In other words, whoever has a bigger company will be more successful.
The man said a few words vaguely, obviously not wanting to discuss it publicly on this occasion.
Zhang Xiaobai came to Zhao Tianhao's table, Cheng Jianhui made a seat, and Zhang Xiaobai raised his glass to propose a toast.
Zhao Tianhao said in a low voice: "If you have a good relationship, I will advise you. Don't care about what they think."
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "I don't care, maybe I am too timid and I can't say what will happen in the future."
Zhao Tianhao smiled and said, "I believe it anyway."
The people at this table are second only to the bosses of several major steel mills, and they are all famous large mine owners and mill bosses in Tangcheng.
Zhang Xiaobai had a drink at this table and then went to the next table.
At this table, Zhang Xiaobai saw a familiar face, Wang Dalin, whom he had not seen for a long time.
The two of them didn't say anything at the dinner table. They just exchanged simple greetings and took a sip of wine like everyone else.
When Zhang Xiaobai left, Wang Dalin also left his seat.
Zhang Xiaobai said he was going to the bathroom, just washed his hands and came out, leaning in the corridor and smoking a cigarette.
Wang Dalin came over and called Brother Bai politely.
Zhang Xiaobai handed him a cigarette and said, "That time you invited me, why didn't you let the boss do it?"
Wang Dalin smiled bitterly and said: "I know I can't hide it from you. I want to make some achievements in the future and then appear in front of Brother Bai?"
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and patted Wang Dalin on the shoulder, "Your grades are pretty good now."
Later, Zhang Xiaobai asked Hu Liang to investigate Wang Dalin. This guy took the right path and did a lot of business in just a few years.
Wang Dalin sighed and said, "Let's see who we compete with. My target is you, Brother Bai!"
Zhang Xiaobai took a puff of cigarette and said: "It can't be compared like this. To be honest with you, the reason why I have reached this level has a lot to do with luck."
"You have made a name for yourself in Tangcheng alone, which is no worse than mine. If I had only worked hard in Tangcheng, I might not have achieved what you have."
Zhang Xiaobai said sincerely, and he really had personal experience. Over the years, he has met too many noble people.
Old principal, Xu Ma, Teacher Peng Cheng, Brother Yao Yuan, etc.
All of these are due to luck.
Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Brother Bai, don't comfort me. I look at things very simply. Success is success, and failure is failure. I will never think of any excuses or reasons, and I will never attribute it to that kind of mysterious luck."
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Anyway, to be honest, I am happy for you."
Wang Dalin restrained his smile and said seriously, "There is something I have always wanted to say to Brother Bai. Brother Bai, thank you! Without you, there would be no Wang Dalin today."
That time by the river, Wang Dalin received such a profound education for the first time in his life.
Zhang Xiaobai said: "I heard that you have invested in the steel plant. My prediction just now may not be accurate, but I hope you can make some preparations."
Wang Dalin nodded and said seriously: "Brother Bai, I don't believe what others say, but I believe your words unconditionally. It's just that there is no way out. I will be prepared."
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Let's go, I still have a few tables to toast!"
Wang Dalin said in a deep voice: "Brother Bai, drink less. To put it bluntly, some people don't accept toasts and drink forfeit!"
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Don't do the same old thing?"
Back in the hall, Zhang Xiaobai continued to drink.
