Chapter 884 I said no, who would believe me?
Chairman Liu of the Magnesium Chinese Business Association subconsciously looked at the indifferent Zhang Heping and the smiling Chen Shuting. He thought he could impress Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting with the huge profit of hundreds of billions of magnesium yuan, but he didn't get any reaction at all.
When two bodyguards in black came quietly behind President He, and Zhang Heping only needed to give an order to "invite" the magnesium guy out, Zhang Heping waved his hand slightly at the bodyguards, signaling them to step back.
Then, Zhang Heping looked around at the people at the table and said with a faint smile, "Doing business requires integrity. The Heping Group issued a notice saying they won't do business with anyone, and they won't do business with them."
"You are a guest from afar, please don't disturb everyone's fun, and don't lose face!"
Zhang Heping made the final decision and seated President Liu in the guest seat!
If the other party still doesn't understand, then Zhang Heping's second half of the sentence will come true, and the bodyguards will make him lose face.
President He just said it vaguely. Another meaning of "not here" is that you don't see whose territory this is.
"Mr. Zhang is a gentleman. He won't argue with a guy like you. Why don't you get out of the main seat right away?"
"This guy is really audacious. He dares to come here and swindle us with an order that's not even worth a penny. Does he really think we're fools?"
"Exactly. Electronics companies in Hong Kong are still lining up to buy Peace Group's 28-nanometer chips. How could the Taiwanese get their hands on this business?"
"Get out of the way! Mr. Zhang has spoken, don't you understand? Or are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"
People at other tables began to echo Zhang Heping's words, urging Chairman Liu of the Magnesium Chinese Business Association to vacate the main seat.
On the contrary, the main table was very quiet. The people on both sides of the main seat and the last seat just looked at President Liu with a smile.
Chairman Liu of the Magnesium Chinese Business Association, perhaps after having recovered from his awkwardness, stepped aside and bowed to Chairman He and the others at the main table.
"I'm Meng Lang. I thought I could sit closer to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen to discuss chip matters, but I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to look down on this small order from Magnesium."
Saying that Zhang Heping looked down on the small order from Magnesium meant that Zhang Heping looked down on the 100 billion magnesium yuan order, which contrasted with the other people's recent loss of composure due to the 100 billion magnesium yuan order, and seemed to be trying to sow discord.
Chen Shuting couldn't stand the other party's sarcastic tone and said coldly, "I'm afraid President Liu didn't ask anything before coming to Hong Kong Island. He just came here to steal business."
Chen Shuting only used the word "grab" to ignite the businessmen at other tables who were eager to flatter her.
"This guy from Magnesium is so ruthless! He actually wants to use this so-called 100 billion magnesium dollar order to take over all of Heping Group's chips. If he really succeeds, will electronics companies like us still have a chance of survival?"
"That's right! If Magnesium's electronic products use the new generation 28-nanometer chips, how can we electronics manufacturers compete with them?"
"The Peace Group is truly righteous. From the very beginning, they've limited the number of orders for each of their products, preventing any one company from becoming too big and ensuring everyone can profit!"
"You dare to talk nonsense here without asking anything? Get out of here!"
"You black-hearted profiteer, get lost and go back to Magnesium! You are not welcome here!"
……
Zhang Heping just gave the other party some face, but this guy from Mexico was ignorant and dared to play tricks on Zhang Heping.
Now, with Chen Shuting's mild words, the others cooperated and made President Liu lose face.
However, this man was quite thick-skinned. His expression changed from gloomy to bright several times, and then he went to the last seat at the main table with a faint smile on his face.
President He stood in front of the main chair, picked up the microphone, and changed the subject: "I have something to discuss with you all. We ask you to come to our next annual meeting before 11: am."
"You don't know, my old body is sore from running up and down the stairs just now!"
As soon as the words fell, one of President He's supporters joked, "Mr. He is asking for trouble. Mr. Zhang is right next to you. If you were unwell, given your friendship with Mr. Zhang, would he just sit back and do nothing?"
The others immediately echoed, "Mr. He, look at Mr. Tang next to you. You're not short of money either. Hurry up and use a 120-day life potion like Mr. Tang did. I guarantee you'll be full of energy!"
"I just don't know if President He's concubines can handle the 120-year lifespan potion, haha!"
Everyone present was not stupid. Knowing that President He wanted to expose the matter of the President of the Magnesium Chamber of Commerce, they changed the subject.
After the atmosphere eased, President He still did not sit down. He began to talk about the development of the Hong Kong Chinese Chamber of Commerce last year, the achievements of a certain Hong Kong company, and how the company overcame difficulties with the help of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Finally, at the initiative of President He, everyone stood up, raised their glasses and shouted the slogan "Unity and Win-Win".
The term "unity and win-win" was accidentally coined by Zhang Heping many years ago, and was later appropriated by President He to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
As everyone sat down, President He continued to stand there and said, "I'm sure everyone has heard about the truck explosion on January 1th!"
"This despicable behavior of Japan and Magnesium..."
Zhang Heping suddenly stood up and pressed his right hand towards President He, signaling him to stop talking.
Then he stretched out his hand and took the microphone.
"Let's talk business!" Zhang Heping looked at the people at the other tables and said with a smile, "We won't discuss politics today. At most, we'll discuss the business policies of various regions."
Zhang Heping’s words are thought-provoking. If he doesn’t talk about it today in front of so many people, when will he talk about it?
Even with Zhang He's efforts to stabilize the tone, there were still people who stood up to show off, attract attention, or curry favor, accusing Japan and Magnesium of being shameless, insulting Japanese and Magnesian people, or proposing to organize a boycott of Japan and Magnesium.
Zhang Heping didn't know how much sincerity these people were saying, but he didn't need to delve into it because he didn't expect these businessmen to help him get revenge.
He came here today with only one purpose, which was to promote overseas Chinese businessmen to invest in the mainland!
Only by transforming the mainland into the world's factory can we use cheap commodities of all kinds to impact the real industries of countries such as Japan, Europe and Magnesium, causing their inflation to worsen and the gap between the rich and the poor to widen!
At that time, if Zhang Heping wanted to retaliate against Japan Magnesium, whether it was through propaganda, financial warfare, or actual warfare...
Without the issue of Japan-Mei, the atmosphere of the annual meeting became more relaxed.
Just like in previous years, after each table started eating, they first toasted each other and got to know each other, and then waited for the news from the main table.
At the main table, just after President He introduced everyone present, the president of the Xindao Chinese Chamber of Commerce suddenly asked loudly:
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that your Peace Group is partnering with mainland China in the arms business?"
This question is quite explosive and is also the most gossipy thing among all businessmen.
However, what others did not expect was that Zhang Heping did not hide his shortcomings or change the subject.
He just nodded and said, "We have invested in this area, but we haven't received any orders from the mainland yet."
Surprised!
Everyone around the main table who heard the news looked at Zhang Heping in shock. They never expected him to be so frank!
The commotion at the main table quickly attracted the attention of other tables, and the banquet hall became quiet again for a while.
The president of the Japanese Chinese Business Association asked anxiously, "Mr. Zhang, there are rumors that since your Peace Group can build nuclear power plants and controlled nuclear fusion devices, they can definitely make pride bombs. May I ask if you are manufacturing pride bombs privately?"
This issue is indeed sensitive, but it is the most concerning issue at the moment.
After the truck bomb attack on Japan and Magnesium, the outside world was worried that the Peace Group would suddenly launch a few bombs to retaliate against Magnesium.
If this happens, Magnesium will certainly retaliate against Hong Kong Island. Will the mainland then strike back against Magnesium, thus starting World War III?
Because of this matter, Tang Ren even irrationally broke into the Umbrella Corporation's armory!
The banquet hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was staring in the direction of Zhang Heping, including the bodyguards from Umbrella Corporation.
Zhang Heping didn't keep them waiting for long, still wearing that faint smile. "If I used my own reputation to guarantee that I didn't have any pride bombs, I wonder how many people would believe me?"
