"In a hundred years of life, you must have dreams, work hard, ask if you don't understand, and learn if you don't know. What problems are there in the world? Society is always a society of dreamers, and the stage of society always exists for heroes..."
As the Mercedes-Benz 500 drove quickly on the road from Hengdian to Hongqiao International Airport, Peng Bo was still thinking about Xu Wenrong's words.
This is the life sentiment of a sixty-year-old man. In the past two days, Xu Wenrong personally drove Peng Bo around and he was deeply impressed by Hengdian's mountains, rivers, plants and trees.
"It is indeed a good way to use the director to make TV series to promote the film and television base, and to use the rich list to promote Hengdian Group..." This is the consensus reached by the two, so that the more they talk in the past two days, the more speculative they are. Xu Wenrong is sincere
He was invited to participate in the first Hengdian Chinese Farmers Tourism Festival.
To be honest, Peng Bo didn't like this kind of indigenous festival, but Xu Wenrong's words made him quickly change his mind, "Tomorrow, you will meet many people on your list..."
This is a bit interesting, because many of the people Xu Wenrong mentioned have a common name - Zhijiang Commercial Gang.
In contemporary times, Chaozhou merchants, Zhishang merchants and Fujian merchants are the three major business gangs in China that are openly standing. However, in the following twenty years, Zhi merchants have become more and more famous and are regarded by more and more people.
It is the number one business gang in China.
If we count the forty years since reform and opening up, the business history of the past forty years is actually a contemporary business history.
Over the past 40 years, business heroes have emerged in large numbers, including Shinruo Xinghe, Ma Yun, Lu Guanqiu, Zong Qinghou, Li Shufu, Lou Zhongfu, Wang Licheng, Nan Cunhui, Guo Guangchang... Their tenacity and courage to be the first have continued to stand out.
Breaking boundaries, creating miracles, promoting and participating in the history of this country's economic rise and social transformation, it has left a special imprint of Zhijiang's characteristics.
"Mr. Peng, Prologis is about to get off the plane." As the car approached the airport, Peng Bo received a call from Wu Qianyu. Today, William Prologis, the new president of Forbes Asia, came to China again. The last time was in April.
At the press conference for the launch of Star List, he was still the vice president at the time.
"I'll be there soon." Peng Bo hung up the phone. The constant calls along the way made him very distressed. It seemed that it was time to find an assistant.
…
"Hello, Donald, we meet again." William Poulos is about the same height as Peng Bo, but he is tall and strong, and his body is like a polar bear. His square chin also looks like a very controlling person.
.
"Hello, William, welcome to Huhai, China." Peng Bo also opened his arms enthusiastically. The polar bear's hug made him feel out of breath. He looked at the entourage behind William Poulos, there was only one woman and one man.
It seems that he is keeping a low profile during this trip.
"Would you like to take a rest in the hotel before we go to Hengdian?" Hearing that the CEO of Forbes Asia was coming, Xu Wenrong also extended an invitation warmly.
"No, I am very adaptable here," Wu Qianyu also chatted with William Poulos' entourage in English, looking very warm, "We are going to Hengdian now. I want to meet with Chinese entrepreneurs." William.
Pros seemed a little impatient.
As the second time he came to China, he was still very curious about the city of Shanghai. When the Mercedes-Benz was driving on the road, he also maintained a great interest in the Chinese countryside, "Donald, what is this Xu...
people?"
"He is a farmer. He used to be the party branch secretary of the Hengdian Brigade. He graduated from the fourth grade of elementary school, but he single-handedly built the largest Chinese film and television shooting base. More than 30 movies or TV shows are started here every day..."
Peng Bo discovered that William Poulos did not understand the concept of a brigade. He simply did not introduce Xu Wenrong, but directly introduced Hengdian. In his impression, Hengdian was Xu Wenrong, and Xu Wenrong was Hengdian. "The famous American film director John
McCormicknan exclaimed after a visit that this place is just like Hollywood! This year, the American magazine "The Hollywood Reporter" also called Hengdian "China's Hollywood"..."
"Then I really should take a look and meet Eastern entrepreneurs in the Hollywood of the East..." William Poulos smiled happily and kept slapping the seat in front of him with his fat palms.
…
Fireworks bloomed and gun salutes fired.
Hengdian, the first Farmers Tourism Festival was crowded with people. There were colorful balloons, red banners, long dragons, yellow lion dances everywhere...
"Hello, Mr. Pros." Xu Wenrong greeted him personally in a suit and tie, but Peng Bo knew that as the head of Hengdian, today's guests from the province, guests from the city, reporters from all over the country, and many business leaders
, he was very busy today, so being able to come to greet William Poulos in person was a great honor.
"Hello, Mr. Xu." As the Romans do, William Poulos also behaved enthusiastically.
"Please Mr. Bang, please accompany you on the plane to visit first, and we will go to the stage to cut the ribbon together later." Xu Wenrong said with a smile.
"Master Bang?" William Poulos seemed a little surprised when he heard the translation. He glanced at Peng Bo inadvertently.
Peng Bo didn't pay attention to the change in his expression. Xu Wenrong was very enthusiastic and eliminated the age gap with his enthusiasm.
The plane slowly took off, and from the sky we saw Hengdian, resorts, Dazhi Zen Temple, Bamian Mountain, Qin Palace, Riverside Scene during Qingming Festival, Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street, and of course the huge crowds of people at the first Chinese Farmers Tourism Festival...
"Good," William Poulos kept extending his thumbs, "Eastern Hollywood, Eastern Hollywood..."
The plane circled over Hengdian and slowly landed. When Peng Bo and William Poulos stepped off the plane, a group of people waiting in front of the minibus in the hotel immediately started making a commotion.
Peng Bo saw Lu Guanqiu, who is known as an evergreen tree in the business world. He is China's first generation entrepreneur and the head of China's largest auto parts manufacturer. He is also a blacksmith who has gone from being a blacksmith to the global economy.
An entrepreneur in the context of integration, his story is a legendary growth story of a farmer...
Some people say that Jack Ma is the representative of Zhishang. In fact, Peng Bo has always believed that Mr. Lu Guanqiu is the first representative of Zhishang. He is not the richest man in China, but he created the Wanxiang model and is also a factor in the rise of China's economy.
symbol.
Zong Qinghou appeared in the crowd. Later, Zong Qinghou became the richest man for three times. Wahaha can be called a national enterprise...
Li Shufu was still very young at this time and the head of China's most promising automobile industry group in the future. On August 8, 1998 last year, the first hatchback "Geely Haoqing" car without a birth certificate had just rolled off the assembly line...
"Mr. Prolos, President of Forbes Asia," Xu Wenrong introduced enthusiastically, "Master Bang." But when introducing Peng Bo, he only said two words simply.
"Master Bang." After shaking hands with William Poulos, Lu Guanqiu said with a smile, "We have known each other for a long time." The old man smiled kindly.
"We are all on the list." Zong Qinghou also smiled and stretched out his hand, "Will this year's list be released too?"
Lou Zhongfu, Guo Guangchang, Wang Licheng, Nan Cunhui and others also gathered around. After politely greeting William Poulos, they all came closer. Invisibly, these famous businessmen surrounded Peng Bo's house.
Around us, the center of the topic is of course the list, especially this year’s list.
Peng Bo also greeted these big guys with great interest and exchanged business cards. Xu Wenrong has so many connections. It is not an easy task for so many businessmen to gather at the Farmers Tourism Festival!
Among the crowd, Peng Bo suddenly spotted an old man. He was wearing glasses, squinting his eyes, and smiling at Peng Bo.
