Reborn as a Noble s Son

Chapter 454: Chapter 427 Unity and Cooperation_1
Donggang’s wealthiest person, Li Chaoren, is a globally recognized figure. This time, Donggang’s financial crisis, cannot solely rely on national support. After all, Donggang only returned to the country last year, and moreover, it has had some preparations, including many Red Chip companies listed on the Eastern Harbor Securities Exchange. However, the main power still lies with the local tycoons in Donggang. In order to combat international capital, like Soros, joining forces with these local bigwigs can undoubtedly produce exponential results.

Li Chaoren, as the richest man in Donggang, outshines others in prestige and influence. If we can get him on our side, there will be no problem with Donggang.

At this moment, Han Qi showed a look of admiration. The Mr. Nie before him, the chief of a national financial expert group, was quite young. Initially, when she met Nie Zhenbang, she somewhat underestimated him, thinking that his high position was due to the advantages of his ancestors. However, now it seems, Nie Zhenbang works meticulously and methodically. He’s no ordinary man, he’s a truly capable one.

“Alright, Mr. Nie, Mr. Li Chaoren has always maintained close contact with the central government, and Mr. Li himself is deeply concerned about the country’s development and construction. However, in my opinion, we need to notify the comrades in the Liaison Office in the harbor about this. After we make plans with Mr. Li, it would be good for us to meet him in person,” Han Qi cautiously advised.

Li Chaoren is a highly esteemed figure who is taken seriously by even national leaders. Over the years, Elder Nan and many other national leaders have met him. So, when Nie Zhenbang spoke about arranging a meeting with Li Chaoren, Han Qi gently reminded him that this might imply him seeing himself as a superior figure.

Han Qi seems to be a good person who carefully reminded him early in their acquaintance. However, Nie Zhenbang had no concerns. The Hidden Dragon Financial Group he controlled was a giant in the world of overseas Chinese. Moreover, in recent years, there have been plenty of business collaborations between Hidden Dragon and Li Chaoren. He wasn’t overestimating his power. Even ten Li Chaorens couldn’t equate to his wealth.

However, Nie Zhenbang is a gentleman. As an elder by age, it was his duty to visit Li Chaoren. He quickly agreed, saying, “You’re right, I was a bit rash, carrying some domestic official-style habits. As a junior, I should visit Mr. Li. Additionally, when you make contact, you can tell him that Nie Zhenbang of Jingcheng is coming to visit. Don’t contact the Liaison Office, though. Even though the state’s intervention is common knowledge, it should not be made public. That’s why the Bank of Huaxia was chosen to act on this operation. As for the rest, please arrange it for me. If possible, select a location for a reception to invite the seniors of various Donggang Chinese-funded companies.”

Han Qi nodded in understanding. As a representative of the Bank of Huaxia assisting Nie Zhenbang and his team, he certainly had his unique capabilities.

Less than half an hour later, Han Qi returned to him, smiling and saying, “Mr. Nie, I’ve arranged a meeting with Mr. Li. As soon as he heard it was you, he immediately invited you over.”

Han Qi wondered why Li Chaoren valued Nie Zhenbang so highly upon hearing his name from Jingcheng. However, considering Li Chaoren’s status, aside from national leaders, even local officials treated him respectfully. How he was making such a request in the evening puzzled him.

Setting aside his inner doubts, Nie Zhenbang, led by Han Qi, went directly to Li Chaoren’s Mid-hill Villa on Gang Island.

The Mid-hill Villa area was the most concentrated area for the wealthy in the entirety of Donggang. At the moment, the grand iron gates of Li Chaoren’s villa, which occupies more than six thousand square meters of land, were wide open.

Li Chaoren was standing at the entrance of his villa, giving Nie Zhenbang the highest form of courtesy by greeting him personally.

“Zhenbang, it’s been nearly eight years since we last saw each other, right? I never thought that we’d meet again in Donggang,” Li Chaoren looked spirited and intelligent behind his black-rimmed glasses. He was sincerely welcoming his guest.

Nie Zhenbang also smiled and said: “Mr. Li is being too polite, I always admire you for your character and wisdom. And I’ve benefited a lot from observing your conduct.”

Following Li Chaoren’s lead, everyone walked into the living room. As soon as they sat down, the servants came up with freshly brewed tea. After respectfully setting it down, they retreated, fully reflecting the upbringing and family traits of Li’s family.

“What a great tea, Uncle Shi’s tea is top-notch Cloud Slice. It’s faintly fragrant and lingers in your mouth.” Nie Zhenbang praised.

Li Chaoren also laughed heartily: “Haha, Zhenbang, you’ve learned how to sweet talk now. I came from a humble background, so there’s no legacy of family culture really. Over the years, as I’ve aged, I’ve grown fond of tea. I’m just being pretentious. There’s no need to compliment me.”

Having said that, Li Chaoren shifted the topic while maintaining a calm smile: “Zhenbang, I guess you came here because of Donggang’s economic situation. I was wondering who the nation would send over this time. I wasn’t expecting they’d send you. I was somewhat worried about the situation in Donggang before, but now, with you in charge, I can rest easy.”
