Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

When the taillights of the car disappeared at the end of Wutong Road, the female secretary who had been standing still opened her notebook and said, "The representative of Mitsui Group will arrive in Shanghai tomorrow."

The old man stroked the ice cracks on the teacup and said, "Tell the supervision team to retrieve Zhou Qi's trading records in the London futures market."

He suddenly coughed, and the watch on his sleeve shone coldly: "Don't those old guys always complain about the decadence in the club? Let this magic sword cut the rotten vines."

"If you are not as skilled as others, you should be content."

Old Liao picked up the teacup and took a sip, tapping his knuckles on the sandalwood armrest and said:

"If there had been a few capable people over the years, the position of vice president wouldn't have been vacant for three years. There's no need for an old man like me to worry about it."

"The way the North Shore plate was traded reminded me of Li Ka Shing thirty years ago."

"If anyone is dissatisfied, just come over."

"However, I will no longer have anything to do with the Chamber of Commerce."

Neon lights flickered outside the car window on the way home.

Zhou Qi turned on the screen of his mobile phone and sent an encrypted video request to Li Guangyu's private number, telling him everything about the invitation from the Chamber of Commerce.

Since the jewel in the crown of the Li family knows about the Jiang Hu Society, the Hong Kong shipping magnate naturally knows the ins and outs of it better.

In fact, compared with other Hong Kong-funded families, his strategic cooperation with the Li Group is the most in-depth.

Although he has not yet officially accepted the position of vice president, the Black Iron Order he has received already represents his membership in the association.

According to the rules of business, we should always be honest with this important ally.

"Uncle, Mr. Liao suddenly pushed me to the position. I always feel that there is a deeper conspiracy behind this chess game." Zhou Qi's index finger unconsciously stroked the texture of the leather seat.

In the video, Li Guangyu was playing with a cigar cutter and said with a smile: "You emphasized the North Shore project three times. Are you worried that the Chamber of Commerce will take a share of it?"

Zhou Qi's eyelashes twitched slightly. This concern was indeed taken into consideration.

But what Mr. Liao revealed in his words seemed to be more than just a simple commercial plot.

"It accounts for about 30% of the weight." Zhou Qi responded truthfully.

Li Guangyu lit up a Cuban cigar and spoke amid the smoke:

"It does sound abrupt at first, but I don't think there's any need to worry too much. The Jianghu Association has a good reputation for a hundred years, so it's reasonable for them to choose a dark horse like you."

“The title of vice president may seem like a hot potato, but crises often bring opportunities. It may be a good card for you to plan your strategy in Southeast Asia.”

Zhou Qi tapped his knees with his fingertips: "Please explain clearly, uncle."

"Today's Hongmen Banquet is actually a window for speaking frankly."

Li Guangyu blew out a smoke ring and said, "When you reach Mr. Liao's level, what you care about is no longer the gains and losses of a city or a pond, but the hundred-year inheritance plan after your death."

"Just like when I reorganized Lee Shipping, I looked at the industrial landscape three generations later."

"The most difficult problem facing the Chamber of Commerce right now is the lack of successors. I'm afraid your drastic measures in the capital market over the past six months have already caught the attention of the Elders Council."

"Pushing you to the front will certainly attract attention, but the key is to be able to control the various factions. As long as the overall situation is not chaotic, the Senate will support you."

"Looking at the pros and cons, the Chamber of Commerce's hidden resources throughout Europe and Asia will be of great help to you in opening up the Eastern European energy channel. Even if something unexpected happens, you can always withdraw."

Zhou Qi stared at the green smoke rising from the incense in the car, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the Taotie pattern on the black iron order.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Uncle, what you mean is, take it?"

“The key is the timing.”

Li Guangyu flicked off his cigarette ash and said, "You have no connection with the Chamber of Commerce. This is a risky move."

"But in the business world, every time you fight, you're always on the edge of a knife."

"If you decide to open up a new situation, I will let Jiaxin bring the actuarial team to help. If you want to be safe, I will let the legal team send a letter of refusal tomorrow."

"No matter what decision you make, the Li family will always be your backer."

When the encrypted signal was cut off, the car had already entered the cross-sea tunnel. Zhou Qi looked at his own eyebrows and eyes reflected in the glass.

In fact, before dialing the video call, he had already made up his mind. Just as Li Guangyu said, Jianghu Club was indeed a rare opportunity for him.

Otherwise, he would not have accepted the bronze token in the first place.

The previous call to Li Guangyu was not to seek his opinion, but to test his position on the entire layout.

At this moment, the last trace of worry disappeared.

This mysterious organization seems to have been passed down for hundreds of years, but at its core it is nothing more than a modern chess game of capital operation.

Since we can gain insight into the economic trends of the next decade, why can't we use this dark web to our advantage?

The information advantage brought by rebirth is indeed valuable, but he still fears the behemoths lurking in the shadows.

Just like the jade ring I am playing with in my hand, it looks gentle but actually hides a sharp edge.

The ups and downs of the business world have always been full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Which real trader would easily reveal his cards?

The deeper your foundation, the more say you will have in the game.

The next afternoon, the scent of agarwood wafted through Du Bowen's tea room as the two men discussed the funding chain for the new energy project.

This meeting before departure was more like a tacit confirmation of some kind of understanding.

On the airport highway in the evening, the business car driven by Du Qianqian cut through the twilight.

Four faces with different thoughts were reflected in the rearview mirror.

Zhou Qi is about to return to Beijing, Li Jiaxin is going to Hong Kong to handle family affairs, and Qiao Xuying and Lin Xindie are flying to Hai City.

After just a few days of living together day and night, those initial cautious attempts had already turned into an unspeakable bond.

The knuckles of Lin Xindie's fingers turned white as she clutched the boarding pass. This girl, who was once stuck in a quagmire, now still has a faint red tint at the corners of her eyes.

Zhou Qi not only gave her a new life, but also planted an inseparable dependence in her heart.

"It's time to go through security."

When she turned around, her pearl earrings trembled slightly. Before she finished speaking, she hurriedly pressed her silk scarf against the corners of her eyes: "The sea breeze is too strong and it blinds my eyes."

The forced smile became increasingly broken by the reflection of the glass curtain wall.

The glass curtain wall of the waiting hall reflected shadowy figures. Lin Xindie lowered her eyes and looked at the gap between the floor tiles.

When the warm fingertips suddenly touched her cheek, she realized that her eyelashes were wet.

"Stupid butterfly!"

Zhou Qi wiped away the tears from her eyes with the sleeve of his suit: "Remember this number, it's available 24 hours a day."

He took out a pen and wrote a string of numbers on her palm.

"Can you really fight anytime?" Lin Xindie clenched her fists, as if she wanted to imprint the ink into her skin.

Zhou Qi tapped her smooth forehead: "What do you think?"

When he turned around, his tie was pulled. Lin Xindie's red nose approached the second button of his shirt, and finally just rubbed it lightly.

Qiao Xuying walked over in high heels, her ruby ​​earrings swaying in the cold light of the security check passage.

She neatly wrapped the cashmere shawl around Lin Xindie's thin shoulders, turned around and threw herself into Zhou Qi's arms.

The salty taste of Chanel No. 5 mixed with tears left small dark marks on the man's shoulders.

"When I bought the fake Starry Night in Paris last month, I was thinking..."

She suddenly choked up, her fingers painted with nude nail polish grasping the back of her suit: "If you were here, you would definitely be able to see the secret inside the frame."
