Chapter 2255: Old Wu Who Learned Bad Habits

"August 15th?" Zhang Xuan said without thinking: "Mid-Autumn Festival, don't you people in Xiangjiang celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival or eat mooncakes?"

Yuan Wanqi said with a bitter smile: "I'm not talking about the lunar August 15th, but the solar August 15th."

"Solar August 15th?" Zhang Xuan asked very surprised: "Why did you think of asking this?"

After talking to Zhou Andong on the phone this morning, the question about the date of August 15th had been lingering in Yuan Wanqi's heart.

Except for needing to concentrate on negotiations with the little devils, whenever she had free time, she would ponder what was so special about this seemingly ordinary day.

When eating at noon, she asked several people around her, but everyone was confused and said they didn't know what special day it was.

Now that she saw Zhang Xuan, she naturally had to seize the opportunity to ask, otherwise she always felt like something was wrong in her heart. If she couldn't figure it out, she was afraid she wouldn't even be able to sleep well tonight.

"It's the boss. He asked me to try my best to complete all negotiation work before the 14th, sign the contract on the 15th, and hold a press conference."

Zhang Xuan blinked and suddenly laughed: "Our boss really knows how to choose a date."

Yuan Wanqi was even more curious when she heard this: "Stop keeping me in suspense, tell me quickly, what important day is August 15th?"

Zhang Xuan looked left and right, then leaned forward and whispered: "The day the Japanese Emperor announced surrender!"

"Ah?"

Yuan Wanqi was stunned. This answer really surprised her, but immediately after, she felt that this answer was also reasonable.

Zhou Andong's patriotic feelings were well known. He chose such a special day to sign a contract with Sony, so it must have been premeditated.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but laugh lightly again: "Our boss can always make decisions that surprise people and make them feel pleasantly surprised."

Yuan Wanqi said very shamefully: "I really didn't know that August 15th is the day Japan announced surrender. It seems I need to study modern history more."

"How can this be blamed on you?" Zhang Xuan shook her head: "When you have time to return to China, ask those young people on the street, not many know what an important day August 15th is, let alone you who were born and raised in Xiangjiang."

As she spoke, Zhang Xuan picked up her coffee cup and took a sip: "In the final analysis, this is because education and propaganda are not in place. It is the result of the education department and the propaganda department not paying enough attention."

Zhang Xuan and Yuan Wanqi sat in the coffee shop for just over an hour, and then the two left. After all, there was important work tomorrow, so they had to ensure sufficient sleep.

Beijing!

At this moment, the Houhai Bar Street was bathed in brilliant lights, as if it had been cast with a spell, exuding a charming charm.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the nightlife here had just begun. The bar signs were flashing with neon lights, and music was rising one after another. In bars of different styles, people were moving, laughing, and talking loudly.

Although there was a light drizzle all day, the rain had stopped, and the temperature at night began to rise again. Now the banks of Houhai were crowded with pedestrians.

They were either walking in groups of three or five, or in pairs, and some were even hugging and kissing in the shadows...

At the First Bar, Zhou Andong and Wu Hongkang were still drinking. Because the matter was resolved, Wu Hongkang looked very relaxed, and the smile on his face had never disappeared.

"Old Zhou, what do you think I should say when I go to see the leader tomorrow?"

Zhou Andong glanced at him: "Do I still need to teach you this?"

"Yes!" Wu Hongkang said without thinking: "Who doesn't know that you, Zhou Andong, are cunning... no, eloquent, also not right, it's glib-tongued... that capable of speaking well, wise and clever!"

Zhou Andong looked at Wu Hongkang with a dark face: "I said Old Wu, you must be doing this on purpose, right?"

"How could that be!" Wu Hongkang shook his head and denied: "For someone of my age, I have read few books, and there are some things I don't know how to describe, and there will even be situations where good intentions lead to bad results. Don't be picky about me."

Zhou Andong's mouth twitched fiercely: "Next time I meet Zhang Shenghui, I must ask him how he taught you to be like this."

Wu Hongkang laughed: "Don't worry about these things, tell me, what should I say when I go to see the leader tomorrow."

Zhou Andong glared at Wu Hongkang: "Suppose one day, BYD really grows into a top-notch private enterprise in the country and brings you huge profits of billions. By then, will someone make a big fuss and jump out to accuse you of embezzling state-owned assets?"

"Definitely!" Wu Hongkang answered decisively without almost any hesitation: "Now someone has already reported me unscrupulously because of the chair under my butt. In the future, if they see such huge benefits in front of them, they will definitely be jealous and report me again."

Zhou Andong picked up a cigarette from the table leisurely and lit it: "So, tomorrow when you go to see the leader, have the courage to talk to him, and talk big about how you look forward to BYD's future."

"Anyway, no matter how flowery you talk, even if he is really moved by your words and believes in BYD's future prospects, but under pressure, he will still ask you to handle the BYD shares held by Hongxing."

Zhou Andong flicked the ash and continued: "After you return to the factory, immediately convene an emergency meeting of all cadres at the middle level and above."

"At the meeting, you still have to spare no effort to describe the boundless bright future of BYD to them. Blow the bull as big and loud as you can, and try your best in that direction!"

"I dare to guarantee that there will definitely not be many people who believe you. Especially that Jiang Jingming, he will definitely force you to handle the BYD shares without sparing any effort."

"In this way, you can completely and logically use 'pressure' as an excuse, run to the bank for a loan, and then openly put BYD shares into your own pocket."

"Wait until one day in the future, BYD shines brightly and brings you astonishing wealth. Even if someone is envious and jealous of you, even if they are unwilling, they can do nothing to you!"

"After all, at the beginning, you had explained BYD's glorious future in detail in front of the leader, and you had specifically convened a meeting of cadres at the middle level and above for this purpose. But the final result was that Jiang Jingming took the lead in forcing you to handle the shares."

"So, you chose to pay out of your own pocket to acquire the shares through a loan as a last resort. It is completely reasonable and has nothing to do with embezzling state-owned assets."

"And, this can also dig a hole for Jiang Jingming. The more glorious BYD is, the greater the loss of the Hongxing factory, which is completely caused by that Jiang Jingming. What do you think the winery employees and the leaders above will think?" ===== CHAPTER 2256 =====
