Seeing that Fang Zhengxiong had a serious expression and was reading the appraisal book seriously, Chen Zheng couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to understand these bird songs. It's amazing! I can't understand a single word anyway."
"Mr. Chen came well prepared this time. He brought such a big diamond with him, so impressive!" Fang Zhengxiong exclaimed in admiration.
The appraisal certificate was all written in English. In fact, Fang Zhengxiong could not understand it very well and could only understand some of the words, but he estimated that 80% of the diamond was genuine.
Those who dare to chase Hu Xuefei are probably indeed very powerful.
But Fang Zhengxiong refused to admit defeat, and then hit back: "So Mr. Chen, you don't know English? Now that English is an international language, it is still necessary to learn it. Look at me, when I was studying at Tsinghua University, I studied English very seriously and now that I am working, I even hired a British doctor to be my private tutor. He speaks with an authentic London accent and charges several thousand dollars an hour.¡±
Then Fang Zhengxiong asked again: "I wonder which university Mr. Chen graduated from?"
Having lost to Chen Zheng on the diamond, Fang Zhengxiong naturally wanted to regain some face in other aspects.
Now Chen Zheng can no longer show off his wealth purely, and he has begun to take a cultural route.
"I never went to college." Chen Zheng told the truth.
"Oh, that's such a pity, but that's how it is in our country. There are too many rich and uneducated people. They own diamonds, but they can't read the English appraisal certificate. It's a pity." Fang Zhengxiong laughed at Chen Zhengdao .
"Whether you are literate or not is not determined by whether you can speak English." Chen Zheng still did not get angry. He smiled and retorted: "Foreigners know English well. No matter how well you learn it, it is only at the level of the general public in other countries. How can you be competitive if you learn it? All truly literate people are within their own academic scope." The most advanced field. If Deputy Director Fang really wants to be literate, I suggest you learn the great essence left by our country for five thousand years. This is unique in the world."
"Yes, Chinese culture is broad and profound, and Chen Zheng has a deep understanding of these traditional cultures. Just like Chen Zheng's medical skills, it is one of them. Unique." Hu Xuefei fully agreed with Chen Zheng's point of view: "As for English, in this world anyway There are so many translations on the Internet, so there is no need to regard this as something that must be learned if you are literate. In this world, the moon is not only round in foreign countries.¡±
Fang Zhengxiong¡¯s face turned red because of the others, he was speechless again and extremely embarrassed.
It was Hu Xuefei¡¯s father who helped out: ¡°Okay, the food is served, let¡¯s stop chatting and come on. Let¡¯s get started.¡±
Fang Zhengxiong paid for this meal. But this meal was extremely frustrating for him.
There were several confrontations with Chen Zheng, but he was always at a disadvantage. I was so depressed that I even wanted him to leave the table.
But he knows that if this is really the case, he will be completely defeated, not to mention that he still has the advantage of Hu Xuefei's parents, and the final result may be like that.
A gentleman does not fight over the length of time. Thinking of this, Fang Zhengxiong shamelessly stayed until the end, but later he learned his lesson and no longer actively laughed at Chen Zheng.
He didn¡¯t provoke Chen Zheng, and Chen Zheng would not take the initiative to provoke him. He just talked and laughed with Hu Xuefei, talking about the taste of the vegetable market. This made Fang Zhengxiong even more depressed.
Soaking my girl, still holding my dishes, but I didn't leave me face at all. What kind of world is this!
During the meal. Hu Xuefei's mother took Hu Xuefei with her on the pretext of going to the bathroom. As soon as she got out of the box, Hu's mother couldn't help but ask: "Xuefei, who is this Chen Zheng? What does he do?"
"Who else could it be? Didn't I tell you? He is a Chinese medicine doctor. He cured grandpa's disease."
"I know this, but how can a Chinese medicine practitioner act with such magnanimity? Tell me honestly, what do his parents do? Does he have any background?"
Hu Xuefei shrugged: "Chen Zheng is an orphan, how can he have any parents? Besides, Chen Zheng relies on himself for everything. Even if he does have parents with powerful backgrounds, he will not do what Fang Zhengxiong did. A disgusting second-generation official."
"This child said that others are second-generation officials, aren't you the same?" Mother Hu slapped Hu Xuefei, and then asked: "Then Chen Zheng, how can he have so much money to buy such a big diamond for you? ?¡±
"I don't know that."
"You don't know who knows? Didn't you say that he is your boyfriend? He even gave you a diamond ring, and it is such a big diamond. The relationship must be unusual. Don't you know if he has money?"
¡°To be honest, I really don¡¯t know.?Since I have been in contact with him for so long, I have always thought that he is an ordinary Chinese medicine practitioner, and he also knows divination, Feng Shui and so on. Hu Xuefei shrugged and said, "Chen Zheng is different from Fang Zhengxiong." Whatever Fang Zhengxiong has, he will definitely show it off constantly, making people disgusted. But Chen Zheng was very quiet. If you didn't provoke him, he would always be as gentle as jade. But if someone wanted to insult him, the only person who would be insulted in the end would be that person himself, just like Fang Zhengxiong. "
"Then you don't know if he has any unique interpersonal network?" Hu's mother kept asking.
"Really not. If there is, Uncle Ma, the secretary of the Canghai Municipal Party Committee, and Uncle Hao, the mayor of Canghai City, are very enthusiastic towards him and treat him like a distinguished guest. However, this relationship was only because of Grandpa's introduction, and Chen Zheng helped Uncle Ma is very busy. Do you remember that Xiang Dongming, the former police chief of Canghai City, was dismissed because of Chen Zheng?"
"Ha!" Mother Hu exclaimed.
Xiang Dongming, he knows, after all, although China¡¯s interpersonal network is large, there are only a few hundred privileged families in the upper class.
And Xiang Dongming was a relative of such a family. When he was sacked in Canghai City, the top officials were shocked.
Mother Hu felt that Chen Zheng was probably far more complicated than Hu Xuefei imagined. Otherwise, how could he move Xiang Dongming?
"It seems that your grandpa still has good eyesight. Later, I will ask the old man, Lao Ma and Lao Hao to understand his situation." Hu Xuefei's mother said thoughtfully: "But judging from the current situation, Xuefei, you can really Try to interact with him. You kid, you don't care much about such a big thing. How can you ask him later to see if he has any hidden background."
"You have to ask, but I won't ask. I didn't associate with him because of this." Hu Xuefei said stubbornly.
"You kid, I'm not thinking about you, this is your lifelong event." Mother Hu kept urging, but Hu Xuefei had already walked into the bathroom. Don't listen to her nagging anymore.
¡¡
This meal took more than an hour to eat.
After eating, Hu Xuefei wanted to take her parents home, but Hu's mother said: "Xuefei, today is your birthday. You must have your own arrangements, right? And we came here rashly, so don't let us influence you." Your father and I will stay in the hotel and fly back to the north tomorrow morning. You will be busy with work. Besides, we haven¡¯t seen Zhengxiong for a long time. I want to tell Masao."
Seeing this, Hu Xuefei didn¡¯t say much and asked Chen Zheng to get into her car.
As for Bai Rou, she finally had some leisure and could move around freely.
On this side, Hu Xuefei¡¯s mother held Fang Zhengxiong and comforted him for a long time.
After all, Fang Zhengxiong represents one of the few privileged families in the country. Therefore, even if the two families cannot be married, they cannot be enemies. This is not good for anyone.
What's more, Hu Xuefei's mother has not yet determined whether Fang Zhengxiong will really be eliminated.
For her, the choices she makes many times are not made out of sincerity, but out of considerations of balancing interests.
fine. Fang Zhengxiong showed himself to be quite sensible, and finally said: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry. I really love Xuefei, and what I want to see most is Xuefei's happiness. So if that Chen Zheng also sincerely loves Xuefei, Xuefei, if I have the ability to give her happiness, I will respect Xuefei's choice and won't blame her. What's more, our two families are family friends. If my father hadn't worked tirelessly to carry him ten miles to seek medical treatment, I¡¯m afraid he would have died of illness a long time ago.¡±
Fang Zhengxiong¡¯s father and Hu Xuefei¡¯s father were comrades in arms when they went to the countryside together. They were in a pasture in the northwest together. Because there was no traffic, transportation was very inconvenient. And once again, Fang Zhengxiong's father suffered an emergency attack and was in excruciating pain. Fortunately, Hu Xuefei's father carried him through the mountain road for more than ten miles overnight and received treatment in time, otherwise he might really have died.
It is precisely because of this incident that the friendship between the two families was created for decades, and it was also the alliance that formed the alliance for more than ten years after the two families took power.
"Zhengxiong, if you can think about it this way, then we, uncle and aunt, will feel relieved." Hu Xuefei's father caressed Fang Zhengxiong's hand: "Zhengxiong, you know, I don't have a son, so I will treat you as if I were my own son. I I originally wanted Xue Fei to get together with you, so that our two families would be closer, but we have no control over the children's emotional affairs, and we can only rely on your fate. "
"Uncle, I know this. Don't worry about what happened today.Love, I won't care about it. "
Fang Zhengxiong said it sounded nice, but when he actually sat up, it was completely different.
After bidding farewell to Hu Xuefei's parents, he drove his sports car home alone. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He suddenly took out his diamond ring from his pocket and yelled, "Damn it!" Wan's diamond ring was thrown out of the car window!
For him, if this ring was completely lost to Chen Zheng¡¯s one, it was already worthless.
Otherwise, what can you do? Return it to the store? If I, Fang Zhengxiong, just throw away the things I bought, how can I return them if I don¡¯t want them? Also, how could the woman I, Fang Zhengxiong, like be snatched away by others so casually? !
The more Fang Zhengxiong thought about it, the angrier he became. He drove the car with one hand and picked up the phone with the other.
"Old black? Yes, I am Fang Zhengxiong! I have something I want to ask you for help with Yes, that's right. If it can't be solved for nothing, you need to be black. There is a man named Chen Zheng. I just came to Haigang City, and I will be very close to Vice Mayor Hu in the past two days - Vice Mayor Hu, do you know who the deputy mayor is? Yes, she is my fianc¨¦e. I miss you. Do you know what to do?"
¡°¡¡± I don¡¯t know what was said on the phone.
"No, don't do it directly. First, investigate the origin and background of that kid." Fang Zhengxiong and Hu Xuefei's mother have the same way of thinking. Before doing anything, they must check whether he has a background.
"If he has a deep background, tell me immediately after you find out And if he has no background and is just a simple businessman, huh, then leave it to you. You don't need to notify me anymore. Just pretend that I have no relationship with you. Made this call."
""
"What should I do if the attack is too severe? What should I do? What do I do? I am the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in charge of criminal investigation. What murder case does not pass through my hands? Don't worry. As long as you do things cleanly, I will ensure that you don't have any mistakes. The trouble Yes, the more severe the better, I will take care of anything!"
After saying that, Fang Zhengxiong hung up the phone.
??According to Fang Zhengxiong's thinking, if this Chen Zheng really has any background, he must carefully consider the strategy, and if he really has no background. No matter how rich you are, how can you defeat him? You know in China. The status of a businessman can never be as high as that of an official. This has been true since ancient times, and it will be true in the future!
At the same time, Hu Xuefei, who was sitting in and driving the car with Chen Zheng, also thought about this problem.
"Chen Zheng, Haigang City is a small city, and many things are not as organized and organized as in big cities. That Fang Zhengxiong is the tyrant here, and he can eat both black and white. He has done many illegal and disciplinary activities in private, but Because of his tough background, no one dares to do anything to him.¡±
"You can't do it too? Isn't your official rank higher than his?" Chen Zheng asked.
"It is better to be higher than him, but as the deputy mayor, I am in charge of the economy and have no real power in other aspects, so I cannot have jurisdiction over him." Hu Xuefei said: "I'm afraid what he will do to you because of what happened today, so You'd better leave Haigang City as soon as possible. Once you leave Haigang City, he won't be able to do anything to you."
Chen Zheng smiled: "It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid."
What Chen Zheng thinks is that it would be okay if you don¡¯t provoke me, but if you dare to provoke me. I will give you a good look then.
"You're not afraid, but I am." Hu Xuefei said, "I have a lot of things going on recently and I can't always be with you. I'm really afraid that something will happen to you."
"You have a lot to do, so what are you busy with?" Chen Zheng asked.
"What else can we be busy with? It's not because all the oil refining companies in Haigang City are going to close down, and there will be hundreds of thousands of unemployed people. As I just said, Haigang City is a small city, and there are already hundreds of thousands of unemployed people. There are too many, and it might cause social unrest, so I have to find a way to resettle them.¡±
"If you only have this schedule recently, then you may have been free for a while recently."
"How to say?"
"Because these oil refining companies you mentioned will not go bankrupt, they will operate very well." At this point, Chen Zheng told Hu Xuefei the plan he had made: "Now I have been freed I have obtained import and export licenses and established relationships with some oil refining companies. Then I will ship the crude oil in. All the oil refining companies in your city will not have to worry about running out of oil to refine. "
"Really? That's great. It solves a serious problem in my heart." Hu Xuefei exclaimed and then realized: "Chen Zheng, where did you get so much oil? And, what are you doing? How come you have so much money to buy such a big diamond ring for me?¡±
¡°??I'm wrong. I didn't buy it for you. In fact, I don't need to buy it. It's my own. It's not just this diamond. To be honest, I now own three diamond mines in Africa. As for why I have oil? Because I also developed five oil fields in Africa at the same time. "
"What?! How can you be so powerful?" Hu Xuefei was shocked. She really didn't expect that before she was transferred to Haigang City to take up the post, Chen Zheng only opened a traditional Chinese medicine clinic and made another movie. , but one year has passed, and Chen Zheng has actually made his career so big?
"Have you forgotten? I know how to calculate." Chen Zheng smiled: "It's like a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. If he can't treat himself, he's not a good traditional Chinese medicine doctor. The same is true for divination. If he can't calculate his fortune, what's wrong? What ability do you have to help others?¡±
"That's true." When Hu Xuefei thought of Chen Zheng's miraculous medical skills and divination, she felt that no matter how bizarre things were, she could accept them.
"So, your net worth should be over ten billion dollars now?"
"Absolutely." Chen Zheng nodded.
Although Chen Zheng's development of oil fields and diamond mines relies heavily on the financial support of Anna's religious sect, frankly speaking, if the mining industry in Africa and the domestic Baicao Industry, Zhishoutang, and Chinese Martial Arts are combined, Added together, the total value of all competing industries such as the movie theater and the One World Film Company must far exceed tens of billions of dollars.
If converted into RMB, wouldn¡¯t it be hundreds of billions?
And this is not the final net worth, because the content that Chen Zheng operates, except Zhishou Tang and Guoshu Martial Arts School, the products of other businesses are very competitive, and they will only make more and more money as time goes by. many.
"But a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and Fang Zhengxiong is a local snake. You'd better leave Haigang City as soon as possible." Hu Xuefei added.
"Since I came to the city, I have experienced many dangers and defeated many opponents, from Xiang Dongming at the beginning, to Hattori Co., Ltd., and later including the American gangsters. Of course, during this year I was in Africa. Among the separatist warlords you have seendo you think any of them would be lower in weight than Fang Zhengxiong?"
Chen Zheng smiled and continued: "But I really won't stay in Haigang City for long. After the business matters are finished and I help you solve the problem of the refining company facing bankruptcy, I will leave and go to Europe and the United States. In During this period, if Fang Zhengxiong doesn¡¯t mess with me, he may live a long life, but if he messes with me, I¡¯m afraid he will regret it for the rest of his life.¡±
