1245 Half-ass distance
Looking at Ma Zheng, whose face was as cold as a knife, I suddenly remembered what Han Fei mentioned to me before.
If Han Fei's "field" is the business circle, then Ma Zheng's "field" is the world of fame and fortune.
When he mentioned Lao Ge and his son, he neither respected them too much nor showed any contempt. It was like a hunter facing his prey.
Ma Zheng then looked at me and asked, "Wang Lang, I heard Han Fei say you want to get involved in the subway project in Shancheng?"
"Yes." I nodded slightly.
"This kind of transaction can be done, which not only facilitates your reputation in the local area, but also makes some powerful friends. However, you must have complete procedures when doing business with the country." Ma Zheng blinked his eyes and said, "A friend of mine is the manager of China Railway Construction. He can help you operate and register a small construction company through the shell of the Railway Construction."
I smiled and replied: "I'm ready for the company's shell. I have an older brother who has been in this industry abroad before. Some time ago, he was anxious to use money, so he sold all the procedures of his company to me."
I deliberately hid Zhao Chenghu's name, one was because I was afraid that Ma Zheng might not know him, and the other was because I wanted to pretend to be a little bit, implying that we didn't understand anything about Ma Zheng.
"Oh?" Ma Zheng paused for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "Xiaolang, you may have never participated in such projects in the past and don't understand the rules. If you want to participate in this large-scale project led by the local government and controlled by the state, you need to complete the company's procedures. In addition, you have to carry the serious construction company signboard, which is not something that can be obtained by a cat and a dog's wild subsidiary."
I pretended to be stupid and smirked: "My brother's company seems to be the shell of ACS and I don't know the subsidiaries of ABC, and I don't know much about the things here. Brother Ma, do you think it's OK? If it doesn't work, please help me think of a solution."
Ma Zheng squirmed his lips in shock: "Spanish ACS Engineering Construction?"
"Yes, he did run a company in Spain before." I continued to pretend to be stupid.
Han Fei blinked at me in an ambiguous tone: "Awesome, Lang Lang, do you have such powerful friends abroad? ACS's shell is not easy to cover. Those foreigners have very serious work attitudes. If you want to borrow their signatures, you not only need strong hardware and software, but also have a strong enough economic background. Your brother is not an ordinary person, right?"
"He...he used to be a part of society." I made a vague excuse.
Looking at Han Fei and Ma Zheng's surprised eyes, I realized that Zhao Chenghu seemed to have given me an amazing gift. It was enough to move these two big names, which proved that the company procedures must be valuable.
After all, the big man is a big man. After a brief surprise, Ma Zheng quickly recovered from his spirit and continued to restore his lazy tone and said, "ACS's shell is good. When Takasugi comes, I will give you a mouthful."
"Thank you, Brother Ma." I stood up and bowed mechanically and simply.
For him, he might enjoy my humility. For me, as long as I can achieve my goal, even if I just kowtowed twice, it would not be a big deal.
"Dingling..."
At this time, Ma Zheng's cell phone on the table rang. He looked at the number and then quickly walked out of the private room.
After he left, I couldn't help but breathe a slurred breath and shrugged at Han Fei and smiled: "Brother Ma is so intimidating. If I stay with him for a while, I feel cold sweat on my back."
Han Fei poured me meaningfully a cup of tea and said, "Don't be arrogant or impatient, always keep quiet, be angry or annoyed, always be calm. The zoo keeper must be afraid when he saw tigers and lions at the beginning, and it will be better after a long time."
"It's hard." I nodded with a wry smile.
I understand all the truths that Han Fei said, but the key is that this calmness is not something I can hold at all.
"If it's difficult, learn. Isn't people born for experience?" Han Fei took a sip of tea and lowered his voice: "Communicating with people is a special life skill. For example, Ma Zheng and I, you don't know how many times I have had stomach bleeding. After several years of relationship, I can only call out Brother Ma with all my thoughts. Don't look at how kind I shouted, but only you understand how much hardship I have done behind this."
I absolutely believe that Han Fei said this. No one is born with a good relationship, and no one is born with an obligation to help another person without any requests. Han Fei called Ma Zheng "Brother Ma", and I also called Ma Zheng "Brother", but there is a huge gap in his identity and status.
A few minutes later, Ma Zhenghan walked back to the private room with a face.
Han Fei asked softly: "What's wrong?"
"Laoge gave me eye drops, haha..." Ma Zheng took off his glasses frame and rubbed the corners of his eyes like an eye exercise. "My father called me just now and said that Laoge's previous family had communicated with him a few words, meaning that I didn't get involved in the mountain city for too long."
Han Fei hesitated and said, "Then...why don't you go back first after dinner?"
"When did I hear my dad's words since I was a child?" Ma Zheng suddenly raised his head and stared at Han Fei with his eyes shining. "My dad told me not to play too deeply with you, but what happened? Did he still mention this now? If he doesn't want to be influenced by others, he has to show enough abilities."
Han Fei shrank his neck, moved the chair under his butt toward Ma Zheng twice, and smiled and catered: "Hehe, that's right."
I glanced at them and thought to myself that the relationship between Ma Zheng and I may be half a distance away from Han Fei. Who knows how much effort it would take if I could be as close to Ma Zheng like Han Fei.
"I'll give Lao Ge a call." Ma Zheng Changshu said in one breath: "Let's bring back Wang Lang's land first."
As he spoke, he pressed the number and the phone was connected soon. A low voice came from over there: "Xiao Zheng, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"
Obviously, Lao Ge and Ma Zheng knew each other before, and they were quite familiar with each other.
A smile appeared on Ma Zheng's face: "Uncle Ge, you are not very interested. Since you left Beijing and transferred to Shancheng, you have never been willing to pay attention to me. You have never replied to me any of the blessing messages I sent to you during the holidays."
Lao Ge on the other end of the phone sighed hypocritically: "I am older, my eyes are astigmatized, and I rarely read text messages anymore. Yesterday I talked to Xiaochuan about you. You are the most sensible child in the entire compound. After graduating from college, I honestly obeyed your father's arrangements to go to work. I am not like Xiaochuan, and I never listen to me, alas..."
Ma Zheng continued with a constant expression: "I don't have the ability of Xiaochuan. Xiaochuan is now the leader in the hotel industry. By the way, Uncle Ge, I'm in Shancheng now. Is it convenient for you at noon? Let's have a simple meal together. I have a good friend who is doing business in Shancheng recently and needs you to give me more advice."
Lao Ge directly refused: "I'm afraid it won't work at noon today. My colleagues and I need to go to the countryside to visit some difficult households. We may wait for me to return to Beijing during the Chinese New Year tomorrow."
"Okay." Ma Zheng's muscles twitched twice, and then said, "Since you can't come back, I can't force you. There is something else I want to ask you. Didn't my friend rent it to Okawa some time ago? My friend is thin-skinned and wants to redevelop it recently, but I'm embarrassed to open my mouth to Okawa. Look..."
Lao Ge on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "Is your friend the surname Wang?"
Ma Zheng made a tone that he wanted to speak but stopped: "What's the surname that doesn't matter, what's important is that he knows that our two families have a good relationship, so..."
"Haha, yes...yes, very yes." Lao Ge laughed and said "yes" three times in a row, and said in a very affectionate tone: "I'll ask Xiaochuan to send the procedures to your friend later. I've called in here, so I won't talk for now."
"Okay, I'll treat you to tea when I go back." Ma Zheng didn't say much nonsense, and hung up his phone without mentioning the money. Then he murmured with cold eyes: "This old man is a little floating now."
I stood up and rubbed my palms and spoke: "Brother Ma, if it makes you embarrassed..."
"Don't make things difficult for him. I'm afraid that he will make things difficult for you in the future, but it doesn't matter. Let's study it if you have something to do." Ma Zheng waved his hand very proudly and said, "Takasugi is coming soon. You will toast him a few more glasses of wine later. I can only recommend you. I can't force him to treat you in the future. You have to take care of your relationship yourself."
I immediately nodded and bowed: "I understand."
As I was talking, the private room door was pushed open, and the waiter led Takasugi, who had met me, into the room.
As soon as they entered the room, Ma Zheng and Han Fei immediately stood up to greet him with a smile.
Ma Zheng stretched out his palm to Takasugi with a smile: "Uncle Gao, it's been a long time since we saw each other."
Takasugi naturally held hands with Ma Zheng: "It's really a long time since we met. Your father is in good health..."
