After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 594 Threat
Zhou Haoran and Xu You had a brief conversation.

The next development plan for the trademark website has been determined: to establish a branch in China and attract a group of clients.

With this name, it will be more convincing during the subsequent Series A funding round.

Regarding the trademark website...

Is this Zhou Haoran's "original" project likely to have future development potential?

do not know.

Anyway, there's no reference point.

Currently, it seems there's little hope; it's just a project he's using to make money off the dot-com bubble. Next, he'll try to extract money from Wall Street.

Those financial giants were stirring up trouble in the Hong Kong government, and Zhou Haoran was powerless to resist them head-on.

So they simply infiltrated behind enemy lines.

Go to Silicon Valley, start a startup, and reap the rewards from Wall Street.

The two were drinking tea and chatting in the Red Mansion Teahouse.

They even ate lunch at a teahouse.

In the afternoon, Qiao Nuo came over and shouted, "Master, the traitors are here!"

"Who?"

Zhou Haoran was taken aback.

Qiao Nuo said indignantly, "It's Zhou Zhengqi, who sided with international capital and shorted the Hong Kong government!"

"Oh!"

Zhou Haoran couldn't help but laugh.

A casual remark he made has become Zhou Zhengqi's nickname.

"What is he here for?"

Zhou Haoran and he had little friendship; on the contrary, they had many conflicts due to their differing approaches to stabilizing the market.

Qiao Nuo said crisply, "I don't know, he said he was in a hurry."

"Then let's go see him."

Zhou Haoran is now fearless.

With the national team leaving the field, the situation in Hong Kong has eased somewhat.

The entertainment stocks bought by the delegation have all rebounded. When they bought them, the Hang Seng Index was over 6800 points; now, official capital has pushed it up to 7500 points.

Hong Kong stocks are generally rising.

The five entertainment stocks he bought are now showing a 26% unrealized profit.

Zhou Zhengqi's hasty arrival is likely related to the situation in Hong Kong.

In the lobby on the first floor, Zhou Haoran met the person in question.

"Young Master Zhou, what an honor to have you here!"

Zhou Haoran welcomed him with a smile.

“Sir…” Zhou Zhengqi forced a smile, which then faded as he said anxiously, “Sir, there was a misunderstanding at the Hong Kong government earlier.”

"What misunderstanding?"

Zhou Haoran sat down on the sofa and asked slowly and deliberately.

Zhou Zhengqi said in a deep voice, "I don't know what happened. Someone sent a knife to my home, which is threatening my life. I had no choice but to return to the harbor."

"Really?" Zhou Haoran feigned surprise. "Doesn't Young Master Zhou have deep connections in the Hong Kong government? How could this be?"

Zhou Zhengqi sighed, "It's all a misunderstanding."

"What exactly happened?" Zhou Haoran looked at him sharply. "They wouldn't send you a knife for no reason, would they? Is it a gift for you?"

Zhou Zhengqi said, "The specific situation is very complicated. The situation in Hong Kong has been very unstable recently, and I have to go there to deal with some things. Mr. Da, you agreed to buy China Star's shares during this trip south to rescue the market. You must have a good relationship with them. Could you please pass on a message to Boss Xiang?"

"Oh." Zhou Haoran's expression was indifferent, showing no interest. "I'm not familiar with him!"

Zhou Zhengqi said solemnly, "Master, you must help with this; it's very important."

I'll try my best!

Zhou Haoran's attitude was perfunctory, and he showed no intention of helping at all.

Zhou Zhengqi noticed this and looked displeased. "Mr. Zhou, you have a batch of high-quality unfinished buildings, including seven or eight projects that I introduced to you! Speaking of which, I did you a big favor!" Zhou Zhengqi felt heartbroken when he talked about this.

Someone asked him for help back then.

They asked him to step in and provide follow-up funding for some unfinished real estate projects so that they could restart the projects.

He doesn't think it's a good idea.

They all shifted the blame eastward, recommending Zhou Haoran instead.

Unexpectedly, just a few months later, the real estate market has undergone a complete transformation. The harbor's property market has actually recovered! Those prime, unfinished projects have become golden eggs, waiting to hatch and fetch huge profits!

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "I've acquired so many real estate projects over the past few months that I'm almost overwhelmed with development. If you're interested, I can transfer them to you as long as the price is right."

Zhou Zhengqi didn't believe it at all, and he could see a hint of mockery in his expression.

I was very annoyed.

He felt that his current chaotic situation was all the work of this kid!

“Sir, I heard…” Zhou Zhengqi narrowed his eyes, no longer displaying the obsequious attitude he had just displayed, “that the smart cards that have been promoted in China are your creation, aren’t they?”

Zhou Haoran neither confirmed nor denied it.

"I've also heard that the relevant authorities in the transportation sector intend to launch a major project to unify the monthly passes for port transportation. The goal is to integrate the monthly passes for subways, buses, ferries, trams, and other modes of transportation into a unified transportation card."

If gentle persuasion doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to force.

"Really? If that's the case, it would be a good thing for the people of the harbor."

Zhou Haoran's reaction was indifferent.

Zhou Zhengqi looked at him with a half-smile, "You've been keeping an eye on the transportation card project for a while now, haven't you?"

"What? Young Master Zhou is interested too?"

Zhou Haoran was not surprised by this; it was a super-large project, and the first order would reach a scale of 10 billion.

With so much money involved, I wonder how many people are eyeing it.

"Some businesses, if you can do them, others can do them too, don't you think?"

Zhou Zhengqi's threatening intent was revealed without any attempt to conceal it.

Zhou Haoran's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "You want to make smart cards? That's great! Smart cards can provide great convenience for people's lives and have been popular abroad for more than ten years. They've only just started to be promoted in China. I'm really a bit outnumbered right now. If you also join the team promoting smart cards, it will greatly promote the development of the industry."

Zhou Zhengqi was suspicious.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell what was real and what was fake.

I thought to myself, "This person can't be that stupid, can they?"

Didn't you hear that?

Having no other choice, Zhou Zhengqi could only be more direct, pointing out bluntly: "I've heard that the chips for smart cards all need to be imported from abroad, and the agency rights are in your hands."

"No."

"You don't need to deny it. Since I've said it, it means I've already done my investigation. Haoqi Sunshine Trading Company, has nothing to do with you? Haoqi is your name, Zhou Haoran. Sunshine is the name of that powerful businesswoman, President Ji Yingyang, isn't it?"

"You really have a knack for making connections."

Zhou Haoran shook his head.

Zhou Zhengqi said coldly, "Whether you admit it or not is irrelevant. I just want to tell you that others may treat you with respect and deference, but I'm not afraid! I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

"what do you mean?"

Zhou Haoran frowned.

"It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. The choice is yours! You can do the smart card business, and so can others!"

Zhou Zhengqi is really going all out.

no way.

The situation in Hong Kong is very critical right now, with fierce battles between bulls and bears raging every day. He has to rush to the front lines. Otherwise, the money he invested in the market could very well become a casualty of this battle.

"Welcome!" Zhou Haoran clapped his hands. "If Young Master Zhou were to come and work on smart cards, it would definitely accelerate the development of the domestic smart card market. Yes! This is a good thing for the industry's development! A warm welcome!"

Zhou Zhengqi was lifted up.

It's hard to fall behind now.

"Alright, we'll see!"
