Chapter 254: The next dinner meeting

Luo Han did not end up answering Zhou Ming, because the answer was obvious. If he continued to stay in the Nanjiang stock market, then what awaited him was a capital lock. However, he was not a professional stock trader, but rather had his own business. He was using the funds of his company to invest, so for a company, once the capital chain was broken, his company would also be in crisis.

If he were to invest and then leave, then Wang Dong would be very happy, even if there was a small loss, it wouldn't matter. After all, he has made so many entrepreneur friends and expanded his own circle. But now if he were to let his company's capital chain break, he might lose his own company, and he would definitely not do it.

Damn it, I'm not related to the Nanjiang stock market, so why do I have to fight with him to the death?

Chairman Li came to me, and I gave him all the company's liquid capital to help him. I have already done my utmost. Now even Secretary-General Huang has gone back to Binhai, so do I have to keep fighting here? Who will bear the losses?

If a group of noble people are fighting for a noble ideal, they can unconditionally pay and persevere until the end. But now they are just a bunch of selfish people getting together for a despicable motive, so obviously there is no way they can be selfless. The proper thing to do is to find a way to protect their own interests.

Therefore, for Wang Dong, he definitely has to divest, otherwise he would not have specially invited Zhou Ming to dinner today.

'President Luo, don't think about it. In fact, this matter is very simple to talk about. If they weren't greedy and wanted to speculate in our stock market, they wouldn't have ended up like this today.'

Zhou Ming's voice reached Luo Han's ears, waking him up. Luo Han looked up and saw Zhou Ming come over and say, 'Don't think about it anymore. We still have the next dinner.'

'The next dinner?' Lohan asked in surprise.

Zhou Ming nodded and said, 'It's the next dinner. Have you forgotten what kind of group they are?'

Lohan's heart sank. Although he was not unaware that they had several dinner parties at night, hearing Zhou Ming say it like that still made him feel incredibly surprised from the bottom of his heart. This was because the turn of events was so bizarre. Previously, he had been thinking of jumping up and down to borrow the east wind, but now the development of the plot was such that the east wind was blowing over like the wind pocket of a wind goddess had broken, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Zhou Ming and Luo Han walked down the stairs and came to the lobby on the first floor. As they were about to leave, they saw a middle-aged man rushing over, but he was stopped by the bodyguard.

However, the man was not disheartened and still shouted at Zhou Ming through the bodyguard: 'Consultant Zhou, you are Consultant Zhou, right? Thank you so much, you are the lucky star in the sky and the god of wealth of Nanjiang. You not only brightened up the stock market, but also my business!'

His shouting made both Zhou Ming and Luo Han feel a little puzzled. Then Manager Liu of the hotel came over and apologised to Zhou Ming, 'Consultant Zhou, I'm sorry, this is Boss Qian. He has just closed a big deal with the district chief's brother-in-law, estimated to be worth several hundred thousand yuan. He must have drunk too much. You ignore him. I'll see you out.'

Zhou Ming nodded and, accompanied by Manager Liu, left with Luo Han. Boss Qian was still shouting behind them, 'Thank you, Consultant Zhou, for helping my business. I wish you good health, a long life and a rolling in the dough!'

This drunkard was a crybaby and a troublemaker, and Zhou Ming had never heard of anyone thanking someone by grabbing them like that. What was strange was that Zhou Ming felt a little strange, because he was drunk but still recognised himself. Could it be that he was that famous? This went against his original intention of keeping a low profile.

Zhou Ming couldn't figure it out because he never would have imagined that just because he showed up at the restaurant and happened to be seen by Boss Zhang, he suddenly felt that the restaurant had become high-class, and at the same time, his opinion of Boss Qian had also improved. As a result, the deal was so easily closed, so how could Boss Qian not thank Zhou Ming? He even waited here specifically to say thank you to Zhou Ming.

If Zhou Ming understood what had happened, he would marvel at the miraculous nature of things, but for now, it was an insignificant episode for him, and he just wanted to go to another dinner with Luo Han.

Like Wang Dong's side, the other dinner was also not arranged in a big hotel like Nanhu Hotel or Dongmen Hotel, but in an ordinary restaurant in Dongmen.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Zhou Ming and Luo Han got off the car and were arranged to go upstairs through the side door, and they were led to a luxurious private room.

'Director Li, I never thought we'd meet again, what a pleasure!'

Zhou Ming asked after entering the room, and the person sitting in the private room was none other than the director Li from Binhai who had led the Binhai entrepreneurs at the last dinner.

Compared to Wang Dong, who had built his fortune from scratch and had developed a thick skin, Li Dong felt quite embarrassed when he saw Zhou Ming. If possible, he really wanted to find a crack in the ground and dive in. He didn't know what to say at first, and it wasn't until Zhou Ming came over that he suddenly reacted and greeted Zhou Ming and asked him to sit down.

Zhou Ming did not care about his attitude. Just like at the Xikou Restaurant, he came over and sat down without any formalities, and directly got to the point, saying, 'Chairman Li asked me to come over here to discuss withdrawing capital from the stock market, right?'

Chairman Li's face turned red with embarrassment again, but he still nodded and said, 'We do have this idea in mind. After all, the current situation of the stock market in Nanjiang is very good, and our capital is no longer needed, so we can withdraw our capital.'

As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, Zhou Ming immediately shook his head and said, 'No, no, no. I think Nan Jiang still needs your financial support very much, so please stay.'

Zhou Ming said this on purpose. At least Wang Dong had just put aside his pride, but Li Dong was still acting like a snob, saying that he had come to stabilise the stock market. Everyone knew what was going on, so who were you trying to impress?

But our consultant Zhou is not someone who is unaware of propriety. Since you want face, I will give you face.

However, Li Dong did not appreciate Zhou Ming's sentiment. If he could, he would just strangle Zhou Ming right now. He knew exactly what Zhou Ming meant and understood his current situation, but he just pretended to be stupid.

Li Dong took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and finally said to Zhou Ming, 'Consultant Zhou, I don't think there is a fundamental conflict of interest between us. What happened before was just an accident...'

Before Li Dong could finish speaking, Zhou Ming smiled and said, 'Accident? Then this accident is really surprising enough. Quietly injecting a large sum of money into the stock market, spreading rumours on the stock exchange that the stock market is about to collapse, and then inviting me to a dinner to threaten me into helping you make money in the stock market. Are these accidents?'

Every word of Zhou Ming's words sounded like a slap in Li Dong's face, causing him to feel a burning pain.

At this time, Li Dong really wanted to just flip the table and call it quits, but he could only think about it. He had invested so much money in the stock market, and although he was the chairman of the company, public institutions were not the same as private enterprises. If a private enterprise loses a large sum of money, you are still the chairman of the company, and the money can be earned back. the stage is not strong enough, you may have to be removed from office, and you happen to have someone inside eyeing your position.

Li Dong pursed his lips and thought about it. In the end, he could only compromise with Zhou Ming: 'Consultant Zhou, I was in the wrong before. I was bewitched by someone else and did it. I hope Consultant Zhou can forgive me for being a big man and not care about the small things. Let my money leave the stock market.'

Facing Li Dong's apology, Zhou Ming didn't feel anything, but it made Luo Han's eyes bulge. As a pioneer in the domestic securities field, Luo Han needed to have a certain understanding of the characters in the domestic economic field. Therefore, he knew this Li Dong, and knew that he was a relative of a certain big shot in the Binhai Group. Now Zhou Ming was able to make him bow and submit, which was not only incredible, but also Zhou Ming's ability.

However, compared to Li Dong's submission, Zhou Ming's next move was even more surprising to Luo Han.

'Chairman Li, are you a stupid monkey hired by someone?'

Zhou Ming's sudden words shocked everyone. Everyone stared at Zhou Ming, completely unable to believe that he would suddenly say such a thing.

Chairman Li was even more furious than shocked. He pointed his finger at Zhou Ming and said, 'Zhou Ming, do you...do you know what you're saying?'

Zhou Ming gave a disdainful smile and said, 'Why wouldn't I know? Don't you want me to help you take over the stocks you dumped? But don't you think that's a funny request? At first, I told you not to get into the stock market, but you just wouldn't listen. Now that you've found yourself in a hole, you want to get out, and you want me to take over. Don't you think that's a bit naive?'

Zhou Ming paused deliberately at this point, and finally asked Li Dong again, 'If you were in Li Dong's shoes, would you be willing to do this?'

Li Dong was at a loss for words when Zhou Ming pressed him with his questions, and Zhou Ming didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to badger him. He just leaned back uselessly in his chair and said, "Actually, Li Dong, if you want to withdraw your investment, you can just do it directly, and there's no need to discuss it with me at all. After all, our Nanjiang stock market is a very open market.'

Zhou Ming deliberately added, "Of course, the prerequisite is that you can get away with it.'

Chairman Li frowned slightly: 'What does Advisor Zhou mean by that?'

Zhou Ming did not answer him directly, but instead asked a question in return: "Chairman Li, you don't think you're the only one who invited me to dinner today, do you?'

Upon hearing this question in return, Chairman Li stood up: "Zhou Ming, you mean there are others? But I only had a meeting with them today, and they all made their positions clear!'

'I'm afraid it's the result of your meeting,' Zhou Ming said. "Chairman Li, if you can do it first, they can naturally do it fifteenth, except that their actions will be faster than yours.'

Zhou Ming stood up: "Chairman Li, let me give you some advice, do what you want to do quickly, so that if there are any problems later, you won't regret it.'

After saying this, Zhou Ming led Luo Han and ** out of the private room. After stepping out of the private room, Zhou Ming let out a sigh of relief. He patted Luo Han on the shoulder and said with a smile, 'Let's go, Luo-总. We can finally enjoy a proper meal at this last dinner.'

Luo Han was speechless at this point, because he had already understood Zhou Ming's plan. It was absolutely unexpected and generous, and this last dinner was the key to the mystery.
