At half past six, Li Guangyu took the gifts he had prepared and went to visit the home of Zhao Xicheng, the founder of the famous Chinese shipping company Wang Fumao Group.
Li Guangyu has no good relationship with his family, but Li Guangyu's father-in-law Cao Wenjin has a good relationship with his family and has many business contacts. Therefore, Li Guangyu contacted him yesterday about the visit tonight.
When Li Guangyu went to Zhao Xicheng's home, members of Zhao Xicheng's family were also waiting for Li Guangyu's arrival. Zhao Xiaolan, the eldest daughter who currently works as a senior accountant at Citibank, said: "Dad, what kind of guest is here today? You pay so much attention to it."
.”
Zhao Xicheng said: "This time the richest man in Xiangjiang will come to visit us."
Zhao Xiaolan knew who was coming as soon as he heard it. Regarding the young man who was not yet his age, he had heard his father mention it many times at home. His father even went to Xiangjiang in person to attend his wedding to Cao Weiqing.
Zhao Xiaolan is also very curious about this legendary figure. He received a master's degree in business administration from Harvard Business School with straight A's. He doesn't think he can create such a wealth myth in just three years. But he knows that today Li
The reason why Guangyu is in New York is that the Apple company she invested in is listed. Now the news about Apple's stock market has spread. As a senior accountant at Citibank, she has naturally heard some things.
According to some people who have learned about Li Guangyu’s experience, it is difficult for Zhao Xiaolan to imagine that a boy who has just turned 16 will drop out of school alone to take on the family’s business after losing his elders, and develop into a top company in the world in a short period of time. Zhao Xiaolan
I feel that Li Guangyu's development is like a story compiled in a book, it feels so magical and unreal.
When Li Guangyu arrived at Zhao Xicheng's villa, he saw Zhao Xicheng and his wife waiting for him outside the door.
After Li Guangyu got out of the car, he immediately walked up and said, "Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, you are too polite. This junior is here to visit. How can I trouble you to wait outside the door in person?"
Zhao Xicheng said: "Guangyu, we are very happy that you can come to our home. Please come inside."
After Li Guangyu gave the gift that the bodyguard took from the car to Zhao Xicheng, he followed Zhao Xicheng and Zhao Zhumulan into the villa.
Li Guangyu saw the six golden flowers of the Zhao family in the living room. Zhao Xicheng has six daughters in total. The eldest, Zhao Xiaolan, is currently working at Citibank, and the other five are still in school.
After Li Guangyu sat down, he said to Zhao Xicheng: "Uncle Zhao, my father-in-law asked me to say hello to you and aunt on his behalf, and welcome you to Xiangjiang as guests."
Zhao Xicheng said: "I also want to go to Xiangjiang for more walks, but I can't live without the Fu Mao Group at the moment. On the other hand, your father-in-law, who has comfort for his ancestors and comfort, doesn't have to worry about his Eastern Shipping Group."
Zhao Xicheng sometimes regrets that he does not have a son to take over, and the group can only be handed over to his daughters in the future. Zhao Xicheng is still very satisfied with his daughters, and all of them have excellent academic performance.
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Zhao, my father-in-law is also as busy as you. The eldest brother Wei Zu studied design with Master Bei Jinming in the United States. He established a design company in Los Angeles and was unwilling to go back. The second brother Wei De also went alone.
I went to Thailand to start a business, but my father-in-law still manages the affairs of the shipping group by himself, and rarely has any free time."
Zhao Xicheng is also happy for his old friend. Both of his sons are very good and can think about establishing their own careers. And with a son-in-law like Li Guangyu, the future development of the Cao family will only become smoother and smoother.
Zhao Xicheng said: "Guangyu, Apple's situation is not bad today. Uncle Zhao really admires your ability. This investment is equivalent to our decades of struggle."
Li Guangyu smiled and said: "Uncle Zhao, we were also lucky this time. At that time, we just thought that Apple was not bad, so we invested some money in it. I didn't expect that Apple would develop so fast."
Zhao Zhumulan said: "Guangyu, you are so humble to us. We have also been to Xiangjiang, and we have heard a lot about your deeds. Every time you succeed, you always say it is luck.
How can there be such good luck in the world? You always get it. We know that you are famous for your good taste in Xiangjiang. It is said that many families in Xiangjiang are watching your actions. When you enter a certain industry
When it comes, they are also ready to get a share of the pie.”
Zhao Xicheng said: "Guangyu, you also know that Uncle Zhao is also in the shipping business. Our Foremost Group is mainly engaged in shipping. Regarding the major shipping families in Xiangjiang, I have been in constant contact to exchange views on world shipping. How many major shipping families in Xiangjiang are you today?
The family’s opinions seem to be at two extremes, what do you think of this?”
Zhao Xicheng knew something about what happened in Xiangjiang. Cao Wenjin and Bao Yugang were now beginning to clean up their fleets, reduce the number of fleets, and move into other industries, while Dong Haoyun and Zhao Congyan continued to be optimistic about world shipping.
The industry continues to expand its fleet.
Li Guangyu replied: "Uncle Zhao, different people must have different opinions on this issue. No one can guarantee the direction in which the shipping industry will develop in the future. We can only try to avoid risks as much as possible. Therefore, I suggested that my father-in-law ask other people
With the development of the industry, today's local industry is pretty good, and I still have some connections there, so my father-in-law followed my advice and temporarily reduced the size of the fleet."
Zhao Xicheng also heard Li Guangyu's views in Li Guangyu's words. He was not optimistic about the development of the world's shipping industry in this future cycle and asked his father-in-law to avoid risks.
Zhao Xicheng himself has such worries about the shipping industry. He also feels that he must make plans early, otherwise he will suffer heavy losses if the shipping industry declines.
Zhao Xiaolan said to Li Guangyu: "Mr. Li, which industry do you think has more prospects today?"
Li Guangyu said: "With the advent of the technological era, I am more optimistic about the electronics industry. Among them, the semiconductor industry, computer-related hardware and software industries are all good, and there is the communications industry. These are all industries with more market in the future. You
Look at the computer company established by Mr. Wang An, which made him one of the richest people in the United States in a short period of time."
Zhao Xiaolan said with a smile: "Mr. Li, as far as I know, you are still mainly investing in traditional industries. In terms of technology, you don't have much investment in it."
Li Guangyu said: "Companies in these fields require a lot of technical talents, and Xiangjiang is obviously unable to support the development of technology companies. Our group has also taken a different approach. We have acquired some technologies from Texas Instruments and are preparing to build them in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park
Establish our own semiconductor company and support the company's development with talents from several nearby universities."
Zhao Xiaolan was born in Taiwan. Although she immigrated to the United States with her father when she was a child, she still has some feelings for Taiwan. She was very happy to hear that Li Guangyu established a semiconductor company in Hsinchu.
After hearing this, Zhao Xicheng said: "It's pretty good over there. It's very suitable for the development of a company like yours. When I was in Baodao, I heard that President Sun Yunxuan personally presided over the construction there. The government also attaches great importance to the development of science and technology parks."
Li Guangyu stayed at Zhao's house until ten o'clock in the evening before returning to the hotel.
