Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 522 Singaporean Entrepreneurs

Ni Guodong and Ni Keke, along with Ding Minjun, all actually came from mainland China.

In other words, they actually belong to the Chinese immigrant group in Singapore.

Those who can immigrate to Singapore are definitely among the wealthiest businessmen in mainland China, and their families are all exceptionally well-off.

Both families are the same; their family assets are calculated in units of small goals. They would live a hard life if they didn't transfer five or six small goals over.

Many immigrants who came from China in the early years looked down on the mainland, thinking it was too backward and the people were of low quality. Now, with the development of the mainland, this situation has improved, but it still exists.

It's just that some people can say it out loud, while others are better at hiding it.

It's worth mentioning that Ni Guodong really liked Ding Minjun, and he openly pursued her for quite some time, but he didn't succeed in winning her over.

As mentioned earlier, Ding Minjun is Feng Hua's friend, and they have a fairly good relationship; they used to be neighbors.

Later, Ding Minjun immigrated to Singapore, and the two families saw each other less often. However, Ding Minjun would occasionally return to the mainland, and they would still have opportunities to meet and maintain contact.

Girls like Ding Minjun are beautiful, come from good families, and are well-mannered. Saying that everyone loves them is a bit of an exaggeration, but the difference isn't that great.

At this moment, the three of them walked and talked as they went up to the third floor.

Ding Minjun turned her head and looked around, and quickly found Feng Hua, as well as a handsome guy standing next to him.

Feng Hua waved to Ding Minjun: "Over here."

The two groups then made contact.

Feng Hua looked Ding Minjun up and down a few times: "It's been a while since I've seen you, you've become even more beautiful."

Ding Minjun smiled slightly: "You're still so good at talking."

At this point, both sides began to introduce the friends they had brought.

Ding Minjun introduced Ni Keke and her brother Ni Guodong, while Feng Hua introduced Hu Jiangshan.

Ding Minjun sized up Hu Jiangshan a few more times, and her first impression was that he was very handsome and had a great temperament. Even among a group of handsome men, he would stand out.

Feng Hua said with a smile, "Minjun, you don't know, this Young Master Hu is quite famous. He's a big shot in Hong Kong."

"Ah? What do you say?"

Hu Jiangshan said helplessly, "Don't listen to his nonsense. What kind of boss level is he talking about? That's not true."

Feng Hua raised an eyebrow: "You're a big boss now, aren't you at the top level?"

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "Alright, let's hurry up and find a place to eat, everyone's hungry."

Since they were in Singapore, Ding Minjun offered to treat everyone to a meal. Feng Hua didn't argue with her, since it was just a meal and the main thing was for everyone to get together.

So Ding Minjun led everyone to a unique restaurant. It was high-end, but the food was very down-to-earth. It served authentic Southeast Asian cuisine, such as Malaysian, Thai, and Vietnamese food.

This is exactly what everyone needs. Everyone has experienced high-end products; it's fine to show off, but the experience isn't good.

This restaurant is great, with local flair. Although it's not a private room, it's surrounded by greenery, making it quiet and refreshing.

Once everyone was seated, they began to chat.

The restaurant serves food very quickly; a table full of dishes arrived in no time. I wonder if they were pre-made.

Hu Jiangshan didn't talk much, but he was indeed hungry. He wasn't shy anymore and ate his food openly.

Ding Minjun asked Feng Hua, "Are you here for tourism?"

Feng Hua smiled slightly, clearly not having told Ding Minjun the reason for his visit beforehand.

This is an old habit of Feng Hua's; he likes to stir up trouble and create a sense of mystery, or to put it bluntly, to make things unnecessarily mysterious.

"No, we're here to participate in an event."

Ding Minjun and the other two looked curious: "What kind of activity is it?"

"Entrepreneur Exchange Activity"

Ding Minjun laughed: "Heh, Feng Hua, you've recovered too, you can participate in this kind of event now. Looks like you've already risen to a higher position."

Feng Hua laughed heartily: "What are you talking about? What position do I have? I'm just a nobody. I'm just here to benefit from your presence."

Feng Hua changed the subject and continued, "But Young Master Hu is different. Young Master Hu is a real big boss."

Ni Guodong sized up Hu Jiangshan a few times and asked, "Young Master Hu, what industry do you work in?"

Hu Jiangshan said, "I do a lot of different things, so I can't explain it all at once."

Ni Guodong nodded, but inwardly he was unconvinced; this guy was probably just too embarrassed to say it.

Everyone knows that Hong Kong Island's industries are very monotonous, consisting mainly of real estate and finance, with perhaps a little more trade, and that's about it.

Ni Guodong pressed further, "Since we're just chatting anyway, why don't you give us a brief introduction? We can all learn something new."

Feng Hua said with a smile, "If Young Master Hu won't say it, I'll say it for him. What I say might scare you to death: Young Master Hu is currently operating a space launch site."

The three of them were stunned, looking at each other in disbelief, thinking they had misheard.

"A space launch site? It's not for launching rockets, is it?"

"You're right, it really is a rocket launch site, and it's built on an island. It's quite large and impressive."

Feng Hua's words sounded like he was bragging, and bragging a lot, a ridiculous bragging, so the three of them were skeptical.

Feng Hua had finally found a topic to talk about and began to enthusiastically recount Hu Jiangshan's great achievements.

Feng Hua's eloquence is absolutely first-rate; he is definitely one of the best among his peers and stands out from the crowd.

This is actually a talent; even Hu Jiangshan has to admit that he is a notch below Feng Hua in terms of passionate public speaking.

Therefore, there will never be a dull moment when Feng Hua is around.

However, Feng Hua's eloquence also has some minor side effects, such as sounding like he's bragging no matter what he says.

Even if what Feng Hua said was true, it sounded like bragging to others, and even Hu Jiangshan himself had the illusion that he had gone too far.

Feng Hua finally finished speaking and noticed that everyone was looking at him with disbelief and incredulity on their faces.

Feng Hua said, "Don't you believe me? What I said is true. Otherwise, how could Young Master Hu have been invited to this entrepreneurs' event? This is no low-profile event."

Ni Guodong said casually, "So how many people and how many companies are participating in this event?"

"There were dozens of companies, and about a hundred people came." "That's quite a lot of people."

As Ni Guodong spoke, he glanced at Hu Jiangshan, implying that it was normal to have a few people accompany such a large group of entrepreneurs.

Ni Guodong's thinking was not wrong. People of Hu Jiangshan's and Feng Hua's age could generally only be supporting characters, accompanying those big shots to visit, learn, and gain experience. They were not worthy of being on the main stage.

Of course, Ni Guodong wouldn't say it so openly; at most, he would just make a sarcastic remark and let it go. After all, she was Ding Minjun's friend, so he had to give her some face.

Ding Minjun said, "By the way, it seems that some entrepreneurs from Singapore will also be participating in this business exchange event, right?"

Feng Hua nodded: "Probably. According to the procedure, there will definitely be communication. Otherwise, why would they choose this place? There must be someone to communicate with."

Ding Minjun said, "No wonder my dad recently came back from the mainland. He said he was going to participate in an exchange activity. Maybe it really is the activity you are involved in."

Feng Hua said with a smile, "Oh, Uncle Ding is going to participate? Then we must have a good chat. It's a rare opportunity. Oh, and we should also toast Uncle Ding a few more times."

Ding Minjun quickly said, "Please don't offer me a drink. My dad has been abstaining from alcohol for a long time."

Feng Hua laughed. Ding Minjun's father did indeed have some chronic illnesses, so he was abstaining from alcohol. He was just saying that, and he certainly wouldn't let Ding Minjun drink on his own initiative.

Of course, on such occasions, one might drink a little alcoholic beverage, but it's impossible to drink strong liquor.

The group ate and chatted, creating a lively and pleasant atmosphere.

Just then, Ni Keke suddenly nudged Ding Minjun and said, "Look, your dad... Uncle Ding is here."

Ding Minjun was taken aback at first, then looked up and saw that it really was her father, Ding Qiuyang, walking over.

Ding Qiuyang had been tense and clearly very anxious, but when he saw Feng Hua sitting there, his expression relaxed and his face was full of smiles again.

Goodness, that's an incredible speed at which they changed their expressions! It's even more exaggerated than the face-changing act in Sichuan opera.

It's clear that Ding Qiuyang actually came to find his daughter, Ding Minjun. He truly cherishes her, treating her like a precious gem, afraid she might melt in his mouth or break in his hands.

Moreover, Ding Minjun is beautiful, has a good temperament, and is very strict with her family.

As a father, Ding Qiuming was worried that his precious daughter would be tricked by a young punk and suffer a loss. So today, Ding Minjun went out without telling her family what she was doing, and Ding Qiuyang came over to find out.

If some thugs really have ulterior motives and want to harm Ding Qiuyang's precious daughter, then they should decisively strike and rescue Ding Minjun from the thugs' clutches.

After seeing Feng Hua, Ding Qiuyang calmed down.

Feng Hua's family and Ding Qiuyang's family used to be neighbors. Feng Hua was a child Ding Qiuyang watched grow up, so he knew her personality very well. She was a kind child with good character, and she was quite outgoing and lively, though a bit too lively.

Feng Hua was also very surprised to see Ding Qiuyang here, and quickly went up to greet him warmly.

"Uncle Ding, it's been a long time. I hope you're in good health."

Ding Qiuyang asked, "Feng Hua, why didn't you tell us you were coming to Singapore?"

Feng Hua said, "Uncle Ding, we're here to participate in an event for entrepreneurs, not to play around."

Ding Qiuyang raised an eyebrow: "Oh, the Hong Kong entrepreneurs' exchange forum, right? I thought it was your dad who was coming. It turns out it's you. Looks like your status has been elevated."

Feng Hua chuckled: "What kind of promotion? I was just conscripted here to learn. I don't have any real power; I can only listen to what others say."

Ding Minjun asked, "Dad, what brings you here?"

Ding Qiuyang gave an awkward laugh: "Hehe, I just came over for a stroll because I had nothing else to do."

"cut."

Ding Minjun didn't believe it, but she didn't expose the truth.

Feng Hua said, "Uncle Ding, since you're already here, sit down and let's eat together."

Ding Qiuyang felt embarrassed to leave immediately, so he sat down and said, "I'll just chat with you for a while. I don't need to eat dinner; I don't eat anything tonight."

Taking the opportunity, Feng Hua introduced Hu Jiangshan to Ding Qiuyang: "Uncle Ding, this is my friend, Young Master Hu Jiangshan."

Ding Qiuyang nodded and looked Hu Jiangshan up and down.

Perhaps it's because Hu Jiangshan has a very good image and temperament, and he is calm and composed. Although he looks very young, he has the demeanor of a great general and is no ordinary person.

Feng Hua added, "Uncle Ding, you may not know this, but Young Master Hu is a member of the Hu family in Hong Kong."

Ding Qiuyang was taken aback: "The Hu family of Hong Kong Island? Surname Hu, what is your relationship with old man Hu Yingxiang?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "Ah? That's my grandfather."

"So that's how it is. You really are from a prestigious family."

Feng Hua hadn't mentioned Hu Jiangshan's identity as a Hong Kong playboy.

Upon hearing that he was Hu Yingxiang's grandson, even Ding Minjun, Ni Guodong, and Ni Keke showed expressions of surprise, clearly having heard of him.

However, that's not the most surprising thing.

Ding Qiuyang frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Let me think. Some time ago, I heard from people in the mainland that a member of the Hu family in Hong Kong runs a very powerful company that can supply semiconductor materials. It seems like they were talking about you?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Yes, it's mine."

Ding Qiuyang's eyes widened: "As expected, Boss Hu is so young. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."

Ding Qiuyang's praise of Hu Jiangshan was clearly not feigned or deliberate, but rather heartfelt.

Because Ding Qiuyang knew how difficult it was to make semiconductor materials, he was quite surprised when he heard that someone from the Hu family in Hong Kong was making such a thing. He thought it was just a rumor. Now that he heard the other party admit it, it was confirmed.

It may sound far-fetched to think that a company in Hong Kong Island is making semiconductor materials, but if they have the funds, the talent, and the dedication to put in the effort, it is possible for them to succeed.

Ding Qiuyang immediately exchanged contact information with Hu Jiangshan.

Ding Qiuyang's actions left everyone else stunned.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan's attitude was very strange. He was so young, yet he was so mature in his dealings with people. He remained calm and composed when communicating with Ding Qiuyang, even though the two were quite a few years apart in age.

The reason why Ding Qiuyang cares so much about Hu Jiangshan is because his company is also involved in the technology manufacturing industry.

Although Ding Qiuyang and his family immigrated to Singapore and set up a factory in Malaya, they still have factories in mainland China, mainly engaged in the motor-related industry. Such manufacturing inevitably involves dealing with semiconductors, and Hu Jiangshan is still an important supplier.

Now that everyone is looking at Hu Jiangshan, the feeling is different. What Feng Hua said about Hu Jiangshan can no longer be called bragging; it's a statement of fact.

After all, even a big entrepreneur like Ding Qiuyang values ​​him so much, so he's not just here to make up the numbers.

Ding Qiuyang originally only intended to chat for a while before leaving, but unexpectedly, he and Hu Jiangshan hit it off quite well and chatted until the end of the event, which was quite enjoyable.
