It was a very spacious private room, much bigger than a private room in a restaurant that could seat more than ten people. However, there was only a table and four wooden chairs in the middle of the private room. There were also decorations such as flower racks and screens in the room.
A middle-aged man in his early forties, wearing a simple high-collared T-shirt, baggy shorts, and slippers, was sitting at the table drinking tea.
He was very tall and a little fat, but not overly fat. He gave off a very strong feeling. His face was full of stubble, and his hair had not been washed for a few days. He looked very sloppy and greasy.
Just the two bodyguards at the door, any one of them was a hundred times more elegant than him!
He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man who could be seen everywhere in the market. He might have had a good figure when he was young, but after he got married and had children, his figure began to go out of shape. He no longer paid attention to his clothes. The trivialities of life smoothed out the edges and corners of his youth and became extremely mediocre and vulgar. He would live a mediocre life.
This was the first impression he gave off!
No one would think that he was a rich and powerful person!
But in fact, he was not only rich, but extremely rich!
There was one thing worth mentioning. On the right side of the man's neck, there was a very light scar. This was his most prominent feature, and it was also the reason why he was used to wearing a high collar. It could cover it a little.
As far as Wu Chen knew, this scar was caused by a car accident many years ago.
When Wu Chen entered the room, the sloppy middle-aged man also turned his head to look at the door.
When he first saw Wu Chen, he was stunned.
Wu Chen was also stunned.
However, the two of them were stunned for different reasons.
The sloppy middle-aged man was stunned because Wu Chen was too young. He originally thought that he had met a middle-aged rich man who had the same hobbies as him. He might be younger than him, but not by much.
The two of them had a short conversation before. He could hear that Wu Chen's voice was a little young, but his tone was very calm.
Therefore, he had guessed that Wu Chen was probably in his early thirties.
However, he never expected that Wu Chen was only in his early twenties!
"So it's you, Boss Lei." Wu Chen was the first to speak. He had a very surprised expression on his face. He had done it on purpose. He wanted the other party to think that he had naturally recognized him. The two of them were really fated!
"Shen? Wu Chen?" The sloppy middle-aged man asked. He knew that Wu Chen's name might have the word 'Chen' in it, because Wu Chen's character was called the King of Tyrannical Server, Chen, and his surname was something he had asked about before.
"Yes, it's me." Wu Chen nodded and walked inside.
The bodyguard closed the door.
"You know me?" The sloppy middle-aged man asked, his gaze following Wu Chen's movements.
"Second Young Master of Hongfa Industry's Lei family, I've long heard of your reputation. We're really fated.”Wu Chen said with a smile. When he said "fate", his expression changed slightly.
The sloppy middle-aged man noticed this subtle change. It was Wu Chen who deliberately let him notice.
After Wu Chen finished speaking, he tidied up his suit and sat on the chair opposite the sloppy middle-aged man.
Hongfa Industry... Actually, there were quite a lot of companies with this name. This was a very common name, not a duplicate name, because an official company name would not be just a few words. For example, it had to include the registered place name. If it was read out in full, the name would definitely be different, and the business category would also be different.
Industry was a general term for companies that focused on manufacturing and some high-tech companies.
The Hongfa Industry that Wu Chen mentioned was the Hongfa Weixing Precise Group in An County, Huaixi City.
This was an industrial group that ranked in the top ten in the country in the field of processing. It was involved in air-conditioning research and development, auto parts production, and many other fields. Its current total assets exceeded 60 billion!
Hongfa's Lei Family, also known as the Lei Family, held 31% of Hongfa Group's shares. Together, they were Hongfa's largest shareholder and the actual controller of Hongfa.
At first, Hongfa Group was just a small state-owned factory in An County of Huaixi City. Its profits were very poor and it was close to closing down.
In the early 1990s, when the tide of privatization came, Lei Zhenghui, who was the director of Hongfa Machinery Factory at that time, gathered a sum of money and bought the factory. He changed his business philosophy and developed it rapidly.
In Hongfa's 30-year history, it had experienced many bankruptcy crises and received several financing. After it developed to a certain extent, it even annexed another large industrial group, Weixing Industry.
The shares were diluted many times due to financing and merger and acquisition. This was the reason why the Lei family only had 31% of the shares.
However, the control of the company had always been firmly in the hands of the Lei family.
Currently, the chairman of Hongfa Enterprise Group was still Lei Zhenghui, who was nearly 70 years old. However, he was already in a semi-retired state. The actual manager was Lei Zhenghui's eldest son, Lei You, who was the general manager.
Sitting in front of Wu Chen was Lei Zhenghui's second son, Lei Cheng.
Lei Cheng was 42 years old this year. He was currently the seventh largest individual shareholder in the company and held 5% of Hongfa Group's shares. In addition, he was also the deputy general manager of Hongfa Weixing and the chairman and general manager of Donghai Fumao Group, a subsidiary of Hongfa.
He had been in Donghai for many years, so he still had some other businesses, but the scale was definitely not comparable to the family business.
……
" My reputation…ha…" The sloppy and greasy Lei Cheng laughed. He looked cheerful, but Wu Chen could feel a sense of self-mockery in it.
"Which family are you from?" he asked Wu Chen with a smile.”
"Which family?" Wu Chen asked.
He pretended not to understand, but in fact, he did.
Lei Cheng was already guessing which big family Wu Chen came from. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why he was so rich at such a young age. He did not even blink when he threw tens of millions into the game.
He was obviously a super rich second generation!
"Not from which family?" Lei Cheng frowned in confusion. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the teapot and asked with a smile,"Forget it, I won't ask you anymore. But…little brother, why are you playing such an old game at your age? You really surprised me. You're so young. You're more than ten years younger than I thought.”
He asked as he refilled his teacup and poured a cup of tea for Wu Chen.
There was only a pot of tea and two cups on the table.
"I'm just playing around. I've been under a lot of pressure recently, so I'm looking for a game to play. The last time I played that game was when I was in fourth grade.”Wu Chen smiled.
"Ha, to vent your stress?" Lei Cheng smiled and sighed,"You rich young people are really better than me when it comes to squandering.”
"It's alright." Wu Chen smiled and turned to look at the door.
"Have a cup of tea first." Lei Cheng held the teacup and gestured.
Wu Chen picked up his teacup and said," Boss Lei, those two bodyguards of yours at the door don't look like ordinary people. Why are you still so careful?" Are you afraid that your brother will kill you?"
Lei Cheng, who had just brought the teacup to his mouth, suddenly froze. The gaze he looked at Wu Chen with instantly became sharp.
