Chapter 136: No Fearsome Waves in Sight

  Looking at the towering Huiji Group building, Jiang Li took a deep breath. This was his first time reporting to the decision-makers of such a high-profile group, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

  Hop Yik Tai, a former British company acquired by Lai Kee Holdings last year, had 22.1% of its shares taken over by Lai Kee Holdings last year and was incorporated into the group. Later this year, Lai Kee Holdings further increased its stake to 40%, becoming the largest shareholder of Hop Yik Tai.

  "Hello, I am Jiang Li from Global Corporation. I have an appointment with Mr. Li." After getting off the car, Jiang Li walked to the front desk and politely smiled at the receptionist.

  "Alright, please wait a moment. I'll go ask for you." The receptionist at the front desk smiled warmly at Jiang Li and then picked up the phone to dial Lijia Cheng's office upstairs.

  "After getting a clear reply, the receptionist then said to Jiang Li: 'Hello! Sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Li is waiting for you in the conference room. Please follow me.'"

  "Thanks!" Jiang Li smiled and nodded, then followed the receptionist towards the elevator. Seizing this brief moment, Jiang Li adjusted his breathing to relax himself as much as possible.

  Because he knew that soon he would be facing the decision-making team of Li Jia Cheng. This team was one of the first teams in Xiangjiang to let Chinese people take down one of the four major British-funded companies. Facing such a team, it's not true to say that he wasn't nervous.

  "Ding Dong~" A crisp sound rang out, and the front desk receptionist smiled at Jiang Li and said: "Sir, please!"

  Jiang Lihwen smiled and nodded, then walked out slowly. He was led to a conference room by the receptionist at the front desk. The beautiful female receptionist knocked on the door, and after getting permission, she took Jiang Lihwen into the conference room before turning around and leaving.

  As expected, however, it wasn't more than ten minutes later that Jiang Li was no longer so relaxed. He was sweating profusely as he tried to cope with the questioning from Lijiaceng's team. Lijiaceng's efficiency couldn't be described as slow, after Shipwreck and Jiang Li took their leave last night.

  He immediately notified the team to conduct an investigation. Early in the morning when he arrived at the company, the team had already prepared all the materials and was also ready to interrogate Jiang Li.

  "What is the traffic situation like on the island of Hainan?! Can it handle large-scale transportation?! We need to know, once we cooperate with them, our demand will be huge. Just 20% of the consumption of tens of millions of people in Hong Kong is already terrifying."

  "How can they guarantee the quality of their poultry and livestock products?! You know, now there are many big brands. And if we import in large quantities, then quality must be guaranteed. Otherwise, it will be our brand that gets smashed."

  "What is the attitude of the mainland towards cooperation? Will there be official intervention? In the mainland, this aspect is very important. We must consider their reaction and possible political situation..."

  Such questions almost made Jiang Li collapse. It was only then that he realized that these individuals who could enter Lijia Cheng's decision-making team were not simple characters.

  Each of their insights and focuses are extremely sharp, and most of the questions they ask are direct and to the point. Jiang Li couldn't help but answer, what made him feel uneasy was that after he answered these questions, the other party simply made a record on their notebook.

  From their faces, you can't tell whether they are happy or sad. You also can't tell if they are satisfied or not. With a nervous heart, Jiang Li finished this interrogation.

  The rest of the matter was naturally discussed internally by Li Jia Cheng. Jiang Li was politely asked to leave the conference room, and then the conference room fell into a chorus of debate...

  Jiang Li, who was outside the door, had a cup of tea sent over by the receptionist. He sipped it lightly, relieving his extremely tense nerves. Everything that could be done had been done, now it was up to Lijia to make her choice.

  Sanping ah ~ I've done everything I can do. Now it's up to fate. Jiang Li thought bitterly in his heart. If this thing succeeds, when the time comes to go to Qiong Island, you won't catch me and invite me to a big meal!

  It's just a little over an hour, but Jiang Li feels like he has exhausted half his life's brain cells. He is so tired that he wants to lie down and not move at all. These things are too mind-boggling.

  But Jiang Li knew that he couldn't lie down yet. He still needed to wait for the response from Lijia and others, whether this response was beneficial to him or not, he had to maintain his best state while waiting. This was a matter of attitude.

  Jiang Li waited silently, even running to the bathroom two or three times in between. It wasn't until then that the receptionist came to notify him, telling him that Lijia Cheng had asked him to go to the conference room.

  But after arriving at the conference room, Jiang Li's mentality finally balanced a bit. From the expressions of those present, it could be seen that these people were not much more relaxed than himself.

  "Congratulations! Mr. Jiang Li, you have successfully convinced us." However, Li Jia Cheng, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled and said to Jiang Li: "We have decided to send an inspection team with Mr. Liang to Qiong Island for investigation."

  "If everything is as your report says, then we will cooperate with you and Mr. Liang." However, Li Jia Cheng seemed to be tired and said to Jiang Li: "If possible, I would like to meet this gentleman tonight. I am curious about what kind of person can come up with such a controversial yet exciting plan."

  "Mr. Li, I thank you on behalf of Sanping for your invitation! I will arrive on time!" Jiang Li heard this and was taken aback at first, then replied extremely excitedly. Li Jiacheng smiled and said...

  "If possible, please pass this on to Uncle Gang. Let's get together tonight and have dinner. We can also take a look at the young and talented people from inland China, I believe Uncle Gang will be very interested!"

  "I'll convey your message immediately after I go back!" Jiang Li slightly bowed to Li Jia Cheng, answering with extreme seriousness. Looking at the atmosphere on site, Jiang Li knew that they still had a meeting to hold.

  So they chatted for a few sentences, and then he bid farewell. After going downstairs, Jiang Lidao took a deep breath and couldn't help but burst out laughing. The matter finally had an outcome, and tonight he could finally get a good night's sleep!

  "Sanping, the ship owner wants to see you tonight." Early in the morning, after arriving at the office, Jiang Li called Liang Sanping: "We will have dinner together tonight, and Mr. Lijia Cheng will also be there."

  On the other end of the phone, Liang Sanping took a deep breath after hearing this. After calming down his emotions, he said: "I will arrive on time as scheduled, what time?! Where?!"

  "Peninsula Hotel, seven o'clock." The person on the other end of the phone, Jiang Li, smiled slightly and said: "Six o'clock, I'll be there to pick you up on time. Be ready then, we'll go together."

  "Okay, I'll wait for you at the hotel." As soon as the phone hung up, Liang Sanping suddenly felt that all of this was so unreal. Just a year or two ago, he was just an ordinary farmer on Hainan Island.

  But today, I can meet the two big tycoons of Heung Kong legend in person. These two big tycoons even want to invite me to dinner, listen to my ideas and plans.

  With a self-deprecating smile, Liang Sanping opened the closet in his hotel room. Inside was a suit he had bought after arriving in Hong Kong. This was the first time he wore it.

  Before, he had always worn the clothes brought from Qiong Island. Anyway, there was nothing special about it, and Liang Sanping wasn't very interested in shopping. This suit was bought for the sake of meeting with the big shots at Xiangjiang.

  At that time, Liang Sanping thought it was simple. Even if he didn't meet the big shots of Xiangjiang, he could still use this outfit when he went to the Imperial Capital in the future. It wouldn't be a waste of money even if he bought it.

  Liang Sanping first greeted Nelson, then began to prepare in the hotel. For the first time meeting the big shots of Xiangjiang, Liang Sanping wanted to be more prepared.

  At least in one's own field of expertise, one must present oneself as sufficiently professional. Only then can one arouse the interest of these big shots and proceed with investment.

  After going through his speech, Liang Sanping took a deep breath. He went downstairs to have a bowl of wonton noodles and then took a nap. Waiting quietly for Jiang Li's arrival.

  Jiang Li was busy arranging tonight's meeting, the Peninsula Hotel he is very familiar with. However, some slightly better private rooms require reservations. Fortunately, tonight is Ship Huang and Li Jia Cheng going to dinner together, so the Peninsula Hotel should not lose face.

  As expected, the manager of the peninsula immediately agreed to arrange a private room after learning that the visitors were Ship Huang and Li Jia Cheng. He even faxed a copy of the menu for Jiang Li to review.

  These things, Jiang Li naturally couldn't take care of them personally. After handing them over to the public relations department, he went to busy himself with his own affairs. He also prepared his outfit for dinner tonight.

  At five thirty in the afternoon, Jiang Li glanced at his watch. He picked up his coat and headed out of the company. As he walked to the parking lot to start his car, he also saw Sheng Huang's driver arriving in a car.

  After smiling and greeting the old driver of the ship, Jiang Li drove to the hotel where Liang Sanping was staying. Meanwhile, in the hotel, Liang Sanping had been waiting in the large hall on the first floor for a while.

  He, dressed in a suit, no longer looked as awkward as he had when he first arrived. Even the manager of the hotel lobby was secretly shocked by this guest who had always been considered rustic and unsophisticated behind his back.

  At this time, he put on a suit and tie, but it made him look even more majestic. Indeed, clothes make the man!

  "Whoa!" A crisp screeching sound was heard, and a Dodge sedan stopped in front of the hotel. The doorman had just stepped forward when the man who got out of the car smiled warmly and declined his service.

  "Sanping, are you ready?" Jiang Li walked in and asked softly, looking at Liang Sanping who was dressed in a suit. The latter nodded.

  "Let's go! Don't keep Mr. Li and the boat owner waiting..."
