Chapter 134: Two Meetings

  Liang Sanping was taken aback by the words, he had not expected Nelson to make such a request. Moreover, this request was too sudden. Liang Sanping was at a loss for an answer for a moment.

  "Nelson, can you tell me why you'd want to start a company with me?" Liang Sanping calmed down and asked Nelson: "Besides, you know I don't have that much money to start a company."

  "I'm just an ordinary farmer on the island of Taiwan, maybe with a slightly higher income for a month. But as for setting up a company, we ourselves don't have that kind of capital..."

  "No! As for the funds, I don't need you to put in too much. And as for the shares, I can let you take 60%." Nelson smiled and said, "That's not a problem at all, as long as you agree."

  Li Sanping was taken aback by the words. He really didn't expect Nelson to make such a big decision, just to invite himself and him to start a new company together.

  "Nelson, my old friend. I didn't even contribute capital, yet I hold 60% of the shares. Doesn't this seem unreasonable? Are you sure you want to do it this way?" Liang Sanping asked hesitantly.

  The latter smiled and said to Liang Sanping, "In the two years of cooperation with you, I was excited at first that I finally had my own business. With my own company, I can have a large dividend every year."

  "Even the performance handed over to me by the company, I've done a good job! After the excitement, I started thinking. Did I get all this by relying on myself?!" Nelson seemed to be explaining to Liang Sanping, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

  "I thought for a long time, and I thought about many things. But in the end, the answer I got was: these are not all relying on myself." Nelson said this, Liang Sanping wanted to speak but was interrupted by Nelson.

  "Don't refute me for now, what I'm saying is something I've been thinking about. I thought for a long time before finding the answer." Nelson leaned back in his chair with a smile and said: "My achievements today, whether it's the parent company's sales or my own company."

  Liang Sanping heard this and could only smile helplessly. It seemed that this was indeed closely related to Liang Sanping. The sale of the agricultural machinery company was also facilitated by Liang Sanping.

  This year, at several international rubber seminars attended by Professor Liu and others, papers were presented on the use of Karl Müller's hot fog machine to control powdery mildew, which also attracted attention from all parties.

  Southeast Asian and South American countries purchased large quantities of Karl's fog machines for this purpose. Karl made a lot of money from this, which also made the parent company very satisfied with Nelson's work.

  The bonus was not small for Nelson, and the board of directors even proposed that Nelson could become the vice president of Carlon Machinery. If it were in the past, Nelson would definitely be overjoyed. But now, his main energy is focused on his own company.

  So, for these, it's relatively easy and effortless. Even if you're the CEO of a listed company, what's the difference? In the end, aren't you still just a high-level employee?! This is completely different from having your own company.

  The companies that are currently cooperating with the Chinese side are indeed profitable. However, Nelson also saw that the fundamental profit was due to Liang Sanping. And Liang Sanping's work is uncertain.

  Perhaps one day he will be adjusted to another position, and even the company itself may not be able to control it. This is unstable in Nelson's view. The reason why Nelson would consider this is because of the newly established Antianmen Company.

  Liang Sanping's rise in position made him consider this issue. Nelson has also been in China for a long time, and his life in China has allowed him to see many differences.

  Especially with some adjustments to his position, he felt unstable. So he began to consider direct cooperation with the root of all profits - Liang Sanping. In this way, he could maximize his own profits.

  "Nelson, your words have made me very uneasy. And I also need time to consider it now. Can I?!" Liang Sanping felt somewhat at a loss when faced with Nelson's sudden question.

  He wasn't without thinking of doing something himself. But so far, he hadn't thought that he would cooperate with Nelson to develop the market directly. However, after Nelson said it out loud, he was somewhat moved.

  After years of cooperation, Liang Sanping also knew Nelson's character. But Liang Sanping also had his own concerns, which were not something that could be explained in a few words.

  "I can wait for you to consider, but I hope to get your reply as soon as possible." Nelson smiled and said: "Liang, you know. Now in Hong Kong, it's relatively easy to register a company. If we go back to the mainland, it will take more time and the procedures are more troublesome..."

  Liang Sanping nodded, indicating that he knew. Nelson didn't say much after that, and the two sides started eating. The two of them served each other dishes, clinked glasses, and enjoyed themselves as host and guest.

  At this time, in a mansion in the southern district of Xiangjiang Shoushan, the Boat King was also having dinner with a man wearing thick black-rimmed glasses. During the meal, the two did not drink wine, but they still chatted happily and burst into laughter from time to time.

  "A Cheng, give me the lowdown. About the Chen family, do you really have a plan?" The boat owner smiled and asked the slightly balding man with black-framed glasses in front of him, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

  The man first looked at the boat king, confirming that he was asking himself very seriously. Only then did he put down his chopsticks and speak to the boat king with extreme sincerity: "Gang Shu, I'm not just thinking about it. I really want to get Qu Chen's hand."

  The ship owner nodded and then smiled, "The Chen family is indeed very good, but they are expanding too rapidly now. In terms of funding, there will be a shortage. I'm worried about the British reaction..."

  "We Chinese businessmen have been oppressed for too long, it's time to tell them that we also have the right to speak out in Hong Kong." The man standing opposite the ship king was none other than Lee Ka-shing, later known as "Superman".

  But then Lijia stood up straight and said to the ship owner with utmost sincerity: "Look at Hong Kong now, do the British treat us as human beings?! The high-level positions are all held by the British themselves. Before 1970, even all official documents were only in English!"

  Historically, the Hong Kong has always been treated as a colony of Britain. Even before the 1970s, there were few Chinese who could hold government positions. Voting was out of the question.

  It wasn't until the 1970s that Chinese people began to enter Hong Kong's political arena. At the same time, anti-colonial movements broke out in Hong Kong, forcing the British government, which ruled Hong Kong at the time, to agree to include Chinese as an official language.

  "Gang Shu, I'll let you in on a secret. Indeed, I am going to bring the Qu Chen family into our fold." However, Li Jia Cheng solemnly said to the Boat King: "This matter is beyond doubt!"

  The boatman nodded and smiled: "A Cheng, don't get excited. I have no objection to you taking in the Chen family, in fact, I'm considering the cooperation between us if you take them in..."

  "Oh?! Does Uncle Gang also have a crush on District Chen?!" Li Jia Cheng couldn't help but laugh and say to Shang Huang, "If Uncle Gang has feelings for her, we can exchange shares and cooperate with each other."

  Li Ka-shing can become the richest Chinese, naturally has a different style of doing things. When he considers business, he is more considering that both parties can make a profit.

  If the Boat King is willing to cooperate with himself to purchase the Chen family's district, this is a good thing. The Boat King's capital and connections are much deeper than his, and years of business experience are not comparable to him.

  If he also enters the stock market with Chen's family, although he will earn less. But from a long-term development and stability perspective, this little less money is acceptable.

  "A Cheng, don't get me wrong. I don't have any thoughts about the Qu family's Chen clan, but I'm very interested in that department store under their name." The boat king said with a smile.

  As he spoke, the ship owner picked up a piece of white-cut chicken from a plate on the table and put it into Li Jia's bowl. Then he smiled and said, "You also know that I did a deal with the mainland last year. It was operated by my company Ali, and the profit was pretty good."

  Li Jia nodded, he knew about this matter. Jiang Li had met him before, one of the young people cultivated by Chuang Sheng. He had run ships and done some management work. Now he is in charge of business from Chuang Sheng to inland areas.

  The chicken dish on the table is Wen Chang Chicken. There's even a plate of braised mutton, which comes from the Dongshan sheep of Qiong Island. These are all the masterpieces of Jiang Li.

  "Fourth Uncle, are you planning to use the Chen family's restaurant to sell these game meats?!" Li Jia Cheng smiled and picked up a piece of the shipowner's dish and put it in his mouth after dipping it in the sauce.

  Since Xiangjiang had Wen Chang chicken, I often buy it back to eat at home. It's great for stewing soup or steaming. The meat is fresh and tender, with a hint of fruity aroma.

  Dongshan goat meat doesn't have any strong smell at all, and it's very chewy after being stewed slowly. That's why these two dishes are on the dinner table of Li Jia Cheng's yacht today.

  "This is one aspect, and on the other hand, I think we can cooperate in the development of Baijia. However, Ship Huang smiled and said to Lijia Cheng: "The little friend who cooperated with Qiong Island and Ali has now arrived in Xiangjiang."

  "He suggested to Ali that we could cooperate in the retail sector and enter the mainland market!" However, Ship Emperor smiled and said: "I have asked people to evaluate it, his proposal has a lot of development space and possibility."

  "Oh? Can you tell me more specifically?" Li Jia Cheng put down his chopsticks, curiosity getting the better of him. As far as he knew, the development environment in the mainland was not very good. Even a few years ago, when he was invited to return to the mainland, he had set for himself an eight-character motto: "Keep a low profile, don't talk politics".
