Chapter 301 all ears

"Junior, I am all ears." Li Jin said with a neither humble nor arrogant expression.

In fact, when Li Jin came to Su City to meet Hu Taidou, he contacted Mr. Huo on the phone and asked some questions. Mr. Huo did not stop him, but said some interesting words.

"Ajin, I think it's okay for you to go see Hu Taidou. Although this old guy is stingy, he wants to save face, so no matter what, he can't lose face and do anything to you."

"After all, you have offended Huizhou merchants to death this time. If you can get a positive response from Hu Taidou, then at least the Huizhou merchants will not attack you openly."

"But you have to be careful when interacting with Hu Taidou. This old fox seems to have retired for so many years and doesn't care about the world, but in fact it is not simple."

This series of words are still in my ears, and I think back to the entire meeting with Hu Taidou.

Li Jin felt that Hu Taidou did have other intentions for him, but whether it was good or bad, he couldn't tell yet.

Hu Taidou's snow-white eyebrows trembled slightly, he looked at Li Jin with a smile and said: "Young man, don't worry, I am not relying on my old age to bully you. Speaking of which, this is a win-win deal."

"Needless to say, you also know that the Shanghai Stock Exchange, as our domestic economic center, will play an increasingly important role in the future, and policies will favor the Shanghai Stock Exchange more and more. This is a treasure trove."

"Originally, our chamber of commerce planned to increase its efforts and focus on developing the Shanghai market, but who would have thought that a young man like you ran out halfway and almost wiped out all the power of our Huizhou merchants in the Shanghai market."

"Since this loss was caused by you, you naturally need to make up for it."

Speaking of this, Hu Taidou's eyes were full of meaning. He looked at Li Jin and said meaningfully: "So I plan to let you be the vice president of the Shanghai branch. You will be needed for the next work of Huizhou merchants in Shanghai. Host.”

Li Jin was stunned.

He was ready for Hu Taidou to open his mouth, and he was also ready for Hu Taidou to set up a conspiracy.

But Li Jin never expected that the old man would unexpectedly include him in the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce, and even directly lose him to the position of vice president of the Shanghai branch.

Completely out of instinct, Li Jin frowned and shook his head and said: "No, first of all, I am not a member of the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce, and I have no plans to join any chamber of commerce for the time being. What's more... I am directly the vice-chairman of an important city like Shanghai. Long, inappropriate.”

Not surprised at Li Jin's reaction, Hu Taidou chuckled and said: "It is said to be a chamber of commerce, but it is actually a loose organization that does not impose any restrictions on any member. Of course..."

"I can also give you a formal commitment that the Chamber of Commerce will not ask you in any form to do anything you are not willing to do."

"But no matter how loose it is, it is an organization that has been passed down for hundreds of years. I can't watch the Huizhou Merchants Chamber of Commerce decline in my hands."

"The Shanghai Stock Exchange is very important, but within the Chamber of Commerce, there are too few people suitable to do this... but you are the most suitable."

Hu Taidou said seriously to Li Jin: "Three years, I only want you to sit in this position for three years. After that, I can stay or leave as you please."

Li Jin frowned and said, "Mr. Hu, aren't you afraid that my dead body will be a bare meal, and I will hang out for three years for a false reputation?"

Hu Taidou smiled and said: "I said, the Chamber of Commerce will not force you to do anything in any form. If you don't care about anything, just live like this for three years, that's fine!"

At this moment, the more Hu Taidou talks, the more Li Jin feels that there is something fishy in this matter.

But after thinking about it, he didn't find any obvious problems for the time being.

After thinking for a moment, Li Jin decided that it was not a last resort and he could not fall out with Hu Taidou, who had not yet made his position clear, but showed some goodwill.

"Please Mr. Hu give me some time to think about this matter carefully," Li Jin said.

Hu Taidou looked at Li Jin with a smile and said, "Of course there is no problem, but don't think about it for too long. I will wait for your reply."

"Three days," Li Jin said. "Within three days, I will definitely give Mr. Hu a clear answer."

Hu Taidou nodded, seemingly not worried that Li Jin would refuse.

Now that the matter had been discussed, Li Jin stood up and said, "Mr. Hu, I've been interrupting you for too long today. It's time for me to leave."

Mrs. Hu gently stretched out her hand to signal Li Jin to stay. He handed the "History of the North and South" to Li Jin and said, "This book is for you."

"If you have time, you can take a closer look. The history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties is the most special period in the history of our nation. It never hurts to know more about it."

Li Jin took the "History of the North and South", which was out of print and worth thousands of gold, with both hands, and said seriously: "Thank you Mr. Hu for the gift. I will read it carefully."

Hu Taidou smiled and waved his hand and said, "Then you can go back, I won't keep you."

Li Jin bowed to Hu Taidou and turned to leave.

Quietly watching Li Jin's figure disappear from the corridor, Hu Taidou looked calm and could not see any joy or anger.

Beside him, an old servant suddenly appeared.

"Master, many of your disciples are very dissatisfied with his ruthless behavior this time. Instead of teaching him a lesson, you made him the vice president of the branch. I'm afraid they will not accept it." The old servant said softly.

Hu Taidou said slowly: "The ones who shouted the loudest are the ones who saw the benefits this time and took the initiative to help Yan Bin, but ended up with heavy losses, right?"

The old servant smiled and said, "Businessmen always seek profit."

"It's good for businessmen to seek profits, but they must also clearly understand who they are dealing with. If they don't even have any awareness of risks, who can they blame if they lose money?"

Hu Taidou said calmly, "I will ignore the cries of those monsters and monsters. I am old and I don't have time to listen to their cries."

The old servant nodded and asked doubtfully: "Master, what are your plans? According to our information, Li Jin is not a good person."

Hu Taidou said with a smile: "How can a docile sheep gain a foothold in the Shanghai stock market if it is not good at dealing with stubble? It takes a jackal that eats people without spitting out bones to have this ability."

"I have a hunch that this young man will give us all a surprise."

The old servant thought for a moment and asked cautiously: "What about the Chamber of Commerce's opinion?"

"Put it down." Hu Taidou said calmly, "I am still useful to this young man. Without me, no one is allowed to act rashly."

"Sigh." Hu Taidou sighed, "If they were more ambitious and wouldn't let the real elites in the chamber of commerce become inactive, why would I, an old man like me, think so much?"

"If you don't live up to expectations, be honest. Don't think about the position that doesn't match your ability every day. The position of the Shanghai branch is good, but it's not worthy of the position. It will lead to a fatal disaster. Look at Yan Bin's fate. Just know it.”
