Supreme Stock God

"There's no such thing as father and son. " It was a common phrase in Cantonese. It meant that a person was uncultured. This sentence had a lot of negative meanings, and it was already an insult.    

    

For Zhou Hao, whose family was not healthy, this sentence hit his soft spot, and it was a great insult to Zhou Hao's mother, Yan Tong.    

    

Zhou Hao raised his eyebrows, and the murderous look on his face became stronger and stronger.    

    

Zhou Lichang, who knew Zhou Hao's background, felt that something was not right. He quickly stood up to smooth things over and said to Zhou Qiyao with a smile, "Second Uncle, Xiao Hao is still a child after all. Don't blame him.    

    

Xiao Hao, no matter what, that is your elder. Quickly say sorry. "    

    

As the saying goes, when you reach out your hand to hit a smiling person, don't hit him. Since Zhou Lichang had already spoken, Zhou Qiyao no longer scolded him.    

    

Zhou Hao glanced at Zhou Lichang indifferently, causing Zhou Lichang to shiver in his heart.    

    

However, Zhou Hao didn't let his anger erupt. He said to Zhou Qiyao, "Great Uncle, I'm sorry. It's my fault for being impolite. "    

    

Zhou Qiyao turned his head and snorted. Zhou Hao didn't pay any more attention to him. He turned around and sat down on the empty seat next to Zhou Lichang.    

    

"Haha, Secretary Yan, our family's junior lacks manners. I'm sorry for making fun of you. "    

    

Zhou Qiyao turned his head and said to the Baldy man with a smile. On the surface, he was apologizing to him, but in fact, he was mocking Zhou Hao.    

    

Secretary Yan also replied with a smile. "It's fine, it's fine. It's just that the child is not sensible. "    

    

Looking at Secretary Yan, Zhou Hao was a little puzzled. The Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in Xiang City, Xiao Yu, was familiar with Mayor Situ Li, but he had never seen Secretary Yan in front of him. He also did not know which department he was in.    

    

Zhou Lichang saw Zhou Hao's expression and immediately saw Zhou Hao's doubt. He whispered in his ear and explained, "That is the deputy secretary of the city committee, Yan Xintang, who was just transferred from the provincial organization department. He is in charge of the education and publicity in Xiang City. "    

    

Zhou Hao nodded slightly. No wonder he did not know him. It turned out that Yan Xintang had just been transferred to work.    

    

The deputy secretary of the municipal committee should be ranked third or fourth in the city. He should be at least at the deputy department level. He could be considered a high-ranking official.    

    

Zhou Qiyao could be seen chatting happily with Yan Xintang like he was an old friend who had been in contact with him for many years.    

    

However, Zhou Qiyao did not pay much attention to Zhou Hao and Zhou Lichang's family. It was as if this table was divided into two worlds.    

    

Looking at Zhou Qiyao's words, Zhou Hao guessed that he probably didn't know about his background and the situation of his family. Otherwise, even if he didn't show any signs of being close to them, he wouldn't scold him as recklessly as he did just now.    

    

Zhou Hao glanced at Zhou Lichang, who was standing beside him. Zhou Qiyao didn't know about his situation. Obviously, it was because Zhou Lichang didn't tell him about it. This made Zhou Hao feel a little strange.    

    

However, after thinking for a while, he could guess the key point. Although Zhou Lichang had a net worth of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, he was still considered one of the richest men in Fragrant Sky City.    

    

However, Zhou Qiyao didn't really care about this kind of net worth.    

    

Judging from Zhou Qiyao's attitude towards Zhou Lichang's family, his attitude towards Zhou Lichang's family wasn't much better than Zhou Hao's. Obviously, Zhou Lichang and the others were also rolled in the eyes by Zhou Qiyao.    

    

Therefore, Zhou Lichang deliberately didn't tell Zhou Qiyao about Zhou Hao's situation. He wanted Zhou Qiyao to offend Zhou Hao and provoke Zhou Hao. If that happened, Zhou Qiyao wouldn't be able to bear the consequences and would be able to help him vent his anger.    

    

Zhou Hao quickly guessed Zhou Lichang's little scheme, but he didn't pay much attention to it, because Zhou Qiyao was really annoying. Zhou Lichang's encounter could be considered as the misfortune of the evil.    

    

Zhou Hao didn't care about Zhou Qiyao. As a junior, he just had to be polite.    

    

After listening to Zhou Qiyao and Yan Xintang's discussion, Zhou Hao also knew the purpose of Zhou Qiyao coming to Xiang City.    

    

It turned out that the toy industry in Hong Kong had deteriorated. The toy companies in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, and other places had all joined the competition. Coupled with the influence of the financial storm during this period, Zhou Qiyao's toy company's profits had fallen by a large margin.    

    

Zhou Qiyao, who had been in the business world for many years, knew that if this continued, his company would be eliminated sooner or later. Therefore, he set his eyes on the northern continent and planned to expand the market in China.    

    

When he returned to Xiang City this time, Zhou Qiyao planned to use Zhou Lichang, the local snake, to build a factory here.    

    

Zhou Hao secretly sneered in his heart.    

    

Because at this time, the toy market in China had almost been divided up. The entire industry was basically controlled by a few toy companies in Dongguan, and those authentic high-end toys were firmly held in the hands of Japanese and American merchants.    

    

Therefore, it was already too late for Zhou Qiyao to aim his development strategy at the mainland. He was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to get a lot of soup.    

    

As for that Yan Xintang, Zhou Hao had also seen through his intentions. This new secretary, who had descended from the sky from the province, could be said to have no foundation at all when he first came to report. He had no advantage over local factions like Xiao Yu and Situ Li, who had deep roots.    

    

In order to gain a foothold as soon as possible, one had to show actual results. Zhou Qiyao coming to Xiang City to invest and build a factory gave Yan Xintang this opportunity. After having a political achievement, Yan Xintang's development in Xiang City would be much smoother, and it would also build a foundation for future promotions.    

    

Even before Hong Kong returned, the domestic side treated the Hong Kong merchants who invested in the north very well, and they also implemented many corresponding preferential policies.    

    

At that time, the Hong Kong businessmen had a similar status as foreign investors, causing a large portion of the Hong Kong businessmen to become arrogant. Now that Hong Kong had returned, as the Central Government had regained control of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong merchants had become much more restrained, and those preferential policies had not been revoked.    

    

This time, Zhou Qiyao planned to invest 500 million RMB in Xiang City to build the largest toy production base in all of China, and it would spread to all of China and even Southeast Asia.    

    

An investment of 500 million yuan was already very impressive for Xiang City. Therefore, Yan Xintang, who was eager to establish her prestige, would definitely not give up this opportunity.    

    

In fact, there was a production base in Xiang City that had a production value many times greater than Zhou Qiyao's investment. That was the car engine production base that the resident group had invested in previously. Its total investment was as high as 10 billion yuan.    

    

However, this production base was directly supervised by the provincial commissar. There was not much room for the Xiang City government to interfere.    

    

Although Zhou Hao's Tongguang Food Company had built the headquarters building, the Tongguang Building, in Xiang City, their business in Xiang City only accounted for a small part of it. They did not contribute much to Xiang City's tax revenue.    

    

Therefore, Zhou Qiyao's investment in Xiang City this time was the largest in recent years.    

    

Yan Xintang was very enthusiastic about Zhou Qiyao, the big financial backer. She repeatedly toasted to him and even promised Zhou Qiyao many preferential policies, including the government building a national road for Zhou Qiyao's factory.    

    

Zhou Qiyao was also very interested. This was his first time coming to the mainland to invest. With a senior official like Yan Xintang taking care of him, it would be very beneficial for the development of his company.    

    

However, Zhou Hao just watched these two fellows who were colluding with each other coldly in his heart. Zhou Qiyao never came back after he left China when he was young. How could he understand the culture of China's government?    

    

Yan Xintang was indeed a high ranking official, the third or fourth in the Xiang City. However, he had just taken office and was only in charge of education and publicity. The finance, economic construction, public security, and hygiene were all in the hands of Xiao Yu and Situ Li.    

    

Therefore, how could Yan Xintang decide on a construction project of this scale on her own? The promise he gave Zhou Qiyao now was just an empty cheque.    

    

Furthermore, Zhou Qiyao's toy production base was destined to not succeed.    

    

If he had come here to invest ten years ago, perhaps he could still have a place in the domestic toy market. But now, Zhou Qiyao had made such a big investment, and it was a performance of eagerness for short-term profit.    

    

Zhou Hao was eating his own food. He did not care about the collusion between Zhou Qiyao and Yan Xintang's official business. He was really a little hungry. Since there was a free dinner, it would be a waste not to eat. Anyway, Zhou Qiyao and Yan Xintang did not care about him, so he did not need to pay attention to them.    

    

However, Zhou Hao, who was enjoying the chicken juice abalone, suddenly heard someone say in English, "Maria, look at that guy. He has been eating from the beginning to the end. Does he not usually have food to eat?    

    

Tsk tsk. No wonder. This might be the first time in his entire life that he had tasted these lobsters and abalones. Hehe, the standard of living in the mainland is indeed good. These lobsters and abalones are not fresh either. They are much worse than those in Hong Kong. "    

    

It was unknown if he thought that other people did not understand English, but that fellow's voice was not soft.    

    

Zhou Hao looked up and saw that the one who spoke was Zhou Qiyao's grandson, Zhou Zhiyi. The Maria he spoke of was obviously that Filipino maid.    

    

Zhou Lichang's family's culture level was relatively low, and although Yan Xintang was a high-ranking official, she knew nothing about English, so she really did not understand what Zhou Zhiyi said. Zhou Qiyao understood, but he did not say anything.    

    

Zhou Hao knew that English was a necessary life skill in Hong Kong, but there were also many Hong Kong people who were proud to speak English. Even in China, they still spoke English to their compatriots who used Mandarin to communicate.    

    

Instead, they looked down on English to show that they were different from the rest. Zhou Hao hated people like this from the Forgotten Sect. Besides, Zhou Zhiyi was clearly mocking him just now.    

    

Zhou Hao drank a mouthful of the clear soup before speaking leisurely in English, "Could it be that the people in Hong Kong have yet to straighten out their positions?    

    

They are now people of China, not the dogs of the Queen of England. Those who can't correct their positions will end up in a miserable state. "    

    

Zhou Hao's fluent English. This immediately stunned Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Qiyao.
