Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 941 The right time, right place and right people

Walking into Hanshan Villa, Chen Yiwen felt like looking up for the first time.

This is a reverence for class and for power.

Over the past forty years, he has always considered himself one of the first lucky people to seize the reform and opening up and enjoy the tide of the times.

Even if he wanted to, he could create a huge storm in Beishan, a city once known as the heart of China.

But when he walked through the long waterside corridor in this huge mountain under the guidance of Lin Gangjian and saw the portraits of the villa owners hanging on the walls, he felt an unprecedented gap.

It can be said that any person listed here is someone he cannot see even if he wants to.

If he could create a little stir in Beishan, these people would be able to influence Hanjiang Province and even the country in some way.

Even Lin Gangjian, whom he respected extremely, was only in the middle of these masters.

There are many photos behind him that are placed further back and hung higher.

At the end of the stairs, Chen Yiwen suddenly stopped, pointed at the last few photo frames, and asked, "Chairman Lin, why are there only back views in these photos, and no front views?"

Lin Gangjian said: "I don't know either, these photos have been hanging here since the villa was built.

As for their identities, I heard that only the core members know them."

Chen Yiwen looked forward again. The people in front of these back photos were either provincial people's congress representatives, wealthy Chinese people, provincial and ministerial leaders, or central government department directors.

If we follow the arrangement rules, the identities of these people are higher than the previous ones, who are they?

Provincial Party Committee leaders? Or even higher up?

He suddenly felt like a frog in a well, unaware of the vastness of the world; a summer insect, unaware of the impermanence of the four seasons.

He remembered that he had met Mr. Liu once seven or eight years ago.

At that time, he thought that the other party was just a legitimate businessman with a little money. As long as he wanted, he could use some extraordinary means to make the other party submit.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, she had grown into a towering tree for him to look up to.

After expressing his feelings, he began to speculate on Lin Gangjian's purpose in inviting him. What was there in a "little person" like him that was worthy of the attention of this group of people?

This is not an easy matter.

While thinking, the two walked through the waterside corridor, passed an artificially restored ancient forest, and came to a tea room.

The teahouse is embedded in the mountainside, and the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on three sides are like crystal curtains, taking in the scenery of green mountains and rolling clouds, which is refreshing.

There was a person sitting in the room with his back to the entrance, fiddling with the tea set, looking leisurely and contented.

"Mr. Liu." Lin Gangjian stepped forward and called out softly, his face full of dissatisfaction.

It would have been fine if Liu Qizhizi didn't go out to greet him, but he was being so mysterious. It was so rude.

Was this out of disdain for him as CPPCC Chairman, or was it out of dissatisfaction with his previous refusal to serve as an advisor?

"Oh, what's going on? The people here are so ignorant. They knew Chairman Lin was coming, but they didn't even inform me." Liu Qizhi was stunned and pretended to be angry. He quickly got up and apologized to Lin Gangjian.

Lin Gangjian was furious, but he was smiling. "It's okay. I'm pretty familiar with this. There's no need to get into formalities like welcoming or not welcoming."

Liu Qizhizi said: "How can this be done? If the other members knew about this, they would think I was deliberately ignoring you." He called the housekeeper over and scolded him severely in front of Lin Gangjian.

Lin Gangjian stood by and watched Liu Qizhizi's performance.

After a moment, Liu Qizhi dismissed the butler and turned his gaze to Chen Yiwen. "Chairman Lin, this is the Mr. Chen you mentioned, right?"

Lin Gangjian nodded and introduced the two people, "Chen Yiwen, our Beishan People's Congress representative and a famous entrepreneur.

Mr. Chen, this is Mr. Liu, the chairman of Lianxiang Group. You should know him.

"Nice to meet you. When Mr. Liu ran a factory in Beishan, I was just an ordinary small vendor walking around the streets. I admired Mr. Liu very much back then. I didn't expect to meet him today. It's really a great honor." Chen Yiwen took a few steps forward and shook hands with Liu Qizhizi.

Liu Qizhi waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, you are too kind. You and I are the same. We are both from Beishan and we are both businessmen. What is there to admire or not admire?

I think Mr. Chen has accumulated such a large fortune at such a young age. His future is limitless and he may even surpass me.

So, let's not be so polite. Come here and treat it like your own home." He then said, "Come on, come on, sit down, sit down."

The three of them sat down, and Liu Qizhi poured tea for them. "Please."

Lin Gangjian took a sip and put it down. Chen Yiwen said, "Good tea."

Liu Qizhi smiled and said, "Oh? Mr. Chen also likes tea?" He pointed at the tea and said, "Give me some comments."

Chen Yiwen smiled and said, "I can't say I love tea. I run an entertainment city. Some of the wealthy businessmen and leaders who come and go don't like drinking alcohol, but they like this. So I just drink a little bit too.

If you ask me to name it, I can’t, but your tea is fragrant and refreshing, and leaves a sweet aftertaste. I think it must be a rare and exquisite product.”

"Yes, Mr. Chen is very knowledgeable. This is Wuyi Rock Tea, commonly known as Dahongpao. It is a good thing that is naturally grown."

Liu Qizhi refilled Chen Yiwen's cup with tea and said to himself: "I like tea because I think tea is the same as doing business.

The formation of a good tea requires good temperature, suitable place, and careful care of the tea grower, which are the prerequisites for becoming a good tea.

This is what we commonly call the right time, the right place, and the right people.

The same is true for business. Without the right time, place, and people, your business will be difficult to operate at best, or even bankrupt and end up in jail at worst.”

Chen Yiwen was startled and continued, "Mr. Liu, your opinion is profound. To be honest, Mr. Liu, this is exactly what I am feeling now.

Everything was going smoothly a year ago, but in just one year, my huge family business can no longer be maintained, and my family members are at risk of going to jail at any time.

Come to think of it, it’s quite fitting.”

Liu Qizhi took a sip from his teacup and asked with a smile, "So, which of these three do you think you lack?"

Chen Yiwen pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's probably the right location. This piece of land in Beishan is no longer very prosperous for me. I'm planning to look elsewhere for development."

Liu Qizhi waved his hand and said, "I don't think so. I think the land in Beishan is very fertile.

Look at how many of our leaders and entrepreneurs have come out of Beishan. How can you say he is not a blessing to others? "

Chen Yiwen nodded. "That's right. Then what do you think I lack?"

Liu Qizhi said: "I think what you lack, Mr. Chen, is the right timing and people.

This indicates that the timing is not good for you to do business. Of course, it is mainly due to the influence of the latter.

Whether a place is self-serving depends on whether the local rulers are prosperous themselves."

“In fact, you know where your problem lies, but you choose to escape.

I can tell you that in our land of China, escaping is useless. After all, money is not more important than power.

No matter where you flee to, as long as you remain on Chinese soil, it will be easy for them to capture you."
