Chapter 393 Perspective
Upon hearing this, Mou Qizhong's eyes narrowed, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and then quickly recalled what Fang Hexuan had just said.
"Mr. Fang, did I hear wrongly?"
Fang Hexuan waved his hand and shook his head:
"No, you heard me right. I do have high hopes for you."
Mou Qizhong still couldn't believe it and continued to ask:
"Keep an eye on me? That's what Mr. Fang meant."
Fang Hexuan chuckled, then his expression became serious and he said affirmatively:
"I know you made a little money in business in the first half of the year. I also know you have a lot of ideas in your head, but you don't have enough funds to turn them into reality. It doesn't matter. I have them. In a word, I will pay and you will do the work, and we will start a business together."
Obviously, Mou Qizhong is not yet the complete person who could attract talents and funds with just his mouth. Although he is now middle-aged and has experienced many hardships, no matter how rational and realistic he is, it would be strange if he was not excited when he suddenly heard that a super-rich man was very fond of him and wanted to cooperate with him.
I saw his lips trembling, his throat swallowed unconsciously, and then his eyes slowly became blank.
Seeing him like this, Fang Hexuan knew that what he had just said had completely hit the nail on the head for Mou Qi, and that the other party must have started to have wild imaginations at this moment. He was not in a hurry and just waited for him to digest it slowly.
About five or six minutes later, Mou Qizhong's eyes finally focused again. After coming to his senses, he asked with some trepidation:
"Mr. Fang Fang, why did you choose me?"
Fang Hexuan couldn't say that he had read a lot of interviews, news records and biographies about the other party in his previous life, so he could only lie to cover it up:
"Haha, don't be offended. I did ask someone to investigate you. To be honest, you are not the type to be honest. On the contrary, I think your greatest talent is your sense of smell and sensitivity for business opportunities."
After hearing this, Mou Qizhong felt a little relieved. He had long guessed that the other party had a strong network of contacts in the mainland, and now it was just indirectly confirmed.
As for being angry, he neither dared to nor had the idea to do so. The gap in status between the two of them was enough to make him feel that being remembered by the other party meant that he was worthy of being remembered.
He took a deep breath, his face slightly flushed as he said:
"Mr. Fang, I am very grateful for your trust, but I am afraid that I will betray this trust in the end."
Mou Qizhong was not just being modest. If an ordinary person wanted to cooperate with him, he would not feel any pressure at all. But now this is Fang Hexuan, the richest man in Hong Kong, who also has a great influence in the mainland.
Fang Hexuan laughed and said:
"Do you think I made such a fortune just by thinking out of my head? I chose you because I really valued your ability. Even an outsider like me didn't doubt it, but you backed off?"
Mou Qizhong's face turned even redder. He gritted his teeth and thought, if such a huge fortune fell on his head and he didn't dare to pick it up, he deserved to suffer poverty all his life, so he said:
"Okay, since Mr. Fang is not worried, I will definitely do my best and will never let you down."
Fang Hexuan waved his hand and said:
"It's not that serious. Just remember, I'm not asking you to work for nothing. You should be paid according to the work you do. It's only natural."
Mou Qizhong nodded gratefully at this time: "Well, I remember it."
Fang Hexuan took a big sip of tea this time, and then said:
"I will invest 2000 million RMB upfront, and then a dedicated lawyer and financial officer will go back to the mainland with you. The lawyer will help you with the trouble of registering a private company, and the financial officer will stay in the company and receive the funds. I will not interfere with what business you do or how you use the money, as long as there are financial records for every debt owed."
"I will give you the greatest freedom in decision-making. If the money is still not enough, you can call me. As long as you can convince me, I will continue to invest the second round of funds."
To put it bluntly, Fang Hexuan was using 2000 million RMB to test Mou Qizhong's ability and character. If he really made a mistake, then this man would pay the price for his short-sightedness and greed. At the very least, even if he was not killed, he would be crippled.
Fang Hexuan would not follow Li Huanggua's example of forming cliques and factions and shaping divinity in the mainland, but he did need to plan ahead, such as investing in industries, companies or entrepreneurs he was optimistic about. Making money was secondary. The key was to slowly accumulate his influence in the mainland business community.
Why was Huawei so badly criticized in later generations? In addition to some reasons that everyone knows, there is also the reason that Ren Zhengfei was focused on technology and company management in his early years and was not active enough in managing his own connections or voice in the Chinese business community. The simplest comparison is that no matter how crooked the Taishan Sect leader Liu Zhonglie is, it will not affect others from flattering him.
Fang Hexuan deeply agrees with the saying, "If you don't occupy the public opinion position, others will occupy it."
If he does nothing, wouldn't he be allowing bad money to drive out good money?
He admitted that he was not a good person in either of his two lives, but there was one thing he thought he did well - he had backbone and never fawned on foreigners.
Therefore, if he wants to prevent companies like Lianxiang, SOHO, Foxconn, TSMC, etc. from becoming too powerful in China, he must unite more forces that can be united. To do this, he needs to plan early and establish his own business network and sphere of influence.
But the situation was indeed as he had said to Mou Qizhong before. It was impossible for Fang Hexuan to travel to the mainland frequently, let alone stay there permanently. The mainland was changing every day. If he relied solely on the memory in his mind, it would be difficult for him to make accurate decisions.
But if Mou Qizhong helps play as a forward, the situation will be different.
He does need Mou Qizhong to help him make money, which is understandable, but making money is not the main purpose.
Mou Qizhong is a banner. Think about it, once he really becomes the richest man in mainland China, people will not only know him, but also know that there is an even more powerful person standing behind him. Will this attract more people with business talents to seek investment or help from Fang Hexuan?
After a few interactions, hasn't a relationship been established?
Fang Hexuan had never thought of this before, but since Mou Qizhong had fallen into the trap, how could he let go of such a useful "tool man"?
When Mou Qizhong heard the 2000 million RMB, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he couldn't believe it, and his breathing became rapid.
"Mr. Fang Fang, isn't this too much?"
Fang Hexuan sneered and said:
"More than 2000 million? Although I believe in your vision, I also know that suddenly being in charge of the use of too much money is not necessarily a good thing. Otherwise, I would have given you 1 million directly."
Mou Qizhong coughed out the coffee he had just drunk because of excitement. Damn, working for a big boss, in one word - awesome!
