In Dongcheng District, Beijing, in a luxuriously decorated Chinese teahouse, Wang Renmu and five others sat at a tea table, sipping tea with calm faces and saying nothing.
The five of them are currently the top five super-rich people in the "China Wealth List".
He is also famous in the international wealth rankings.
For example, Zhao Zhou, the fifth-ranked chairman of Oasis Group, is worth 320 billion. The Oasis Group he controls has assets of over 800 billion, which is extremely scary.
There is also Feng Deye, who ranks fourth, with a net worth of 410 billion. The Deye Group he controls is mainly engaged in real estate. In recent years, it has begun to get involved in manufacturing, domestic sales and exports, with assets of nearly one trillion.
There is also the third-ranked chairman of Mingyuan Group, Chu Mingyuan, who is worth 450 billion. The Mingyuan Group he controls also has a size of nearly one trillion.
Chen Yuan, who ranks second, is worth 560 billion. There is only a 10 billion gap between him and Wang Renmu, the richest man in China, who ranks first.
According to this year's wealth list update, Wang Renmu's net worth is 570 billion RMB.
Of course, these are only assets that can be evaluated by institutions.
Those that cannot be assessed are also terrifying figures.
Let’s just talk about Zheng Ge. The offshore company indirectly controlled by it operates a large amount of funds. There are also various assets that cannot be counted, such as the Herbal Medicine Company, which owns a large number of precious medicinal materials, as well as various antiques and treasures, etc.
These are difficult to evaluate by the "China Fortune List".
For example, the big diamond at home is worth hundreds of millions.
Therefore, the "Wealth List" can only estimate based on the value of the company and the wealth you have on paper.
In short, no matter how you put it, the wealth controlled by Wang Renmu and the five of them is very terrifying.
The five of them have two things in common.
First, the main business of the five of them in the early stage was real estate. They basically started in real estate. In recent years, they have gradually begun to develop overseas.
The second thing they have in common is that they all come from northern China.
Among them, Wang Renmu, Chu Mingyuan and Feng Deye are entrepreneurs from Kyoto.
Chen Yuan, chairman of Fengyuan Group, was born in the Northeast and made his fortune in the Northeast. His family roots are also in the Northeast.
Zhao Zhou, chairman of Oasis Group, was born in Shandong Province.
It was obvious that the five of them had formed a small group.
According to their original vision, after the business alliance was established, they would be the leader of this small group.
But now it seems that their plan is coming to nothing.
Think about it, how could such a huge business alliance be allowed to be dominated by the five of them?
…
"Everyone, this meeting is going to be quite difficult!"
There was silence for a while in the tea room before Wang Renmu spoke first.
Zhao Zhou, chairman of the Oasis Group, put down his tea cup and said: "This is expected. After all, our plan is not in line with other people's interests. Those guys in the south are so arrogant that they will naturally not agree."
"Then what should we do? Do we have to follow their wishes?" Chu Mingyuan said with a smile.
Chen Yuan, Chairman of Fengyuan Group, said: "Our company has repeatedly suffered setbacks in entering overseas markets in recent years. Since 2020, it has suffered heavy losses. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that those guys in the south are
The overseas market is indeed doing well. If you want to bring them in, without giving them something substantial, I’m afraid it won’t work.”
"What do you mean?"
Wang Renmu's eyelids twitched.
"The executive vice president's seats will be given to the two of them," Chen Yuan said.
Zhao Zhou shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that alone won't satisfy them."
Chen Yuan nodded in agreement: "The positions of two executive vice presidents are difficult to satisfy their appetites."
Chu Mingyuan lit a cigarette and said: "A few days ago, I discussed with my old friend and offered the chairman of Changge Group Zheng Ge the position of vice president, but that guy refused."
"Haha! At that time, the business alliance system had not yet been finalized. If you give people a sinecure vice president with no real power, they will definitely not agree. You are also cunning and cunning." Computer terminal::

Feng Deye laughed and said. He was relatively familiar with Chu Mingyuan and had been friends for decades in private, so he had no scruples about what he said.
When Chu Mingyuan heard this, he shook his head and smiled.
Wang Renmu's eyes flickered and he said: "Changge Group has only entered overseas markets for a short time, only about a year. But I have to say that the results achieved are eye-catching."
"In addition, I got news that Zheng Ge is very familiar with the Annas family in Europe and seems to be an ally. If this kid can take the lead and join the merchant alliance, it will be very beneficial to us."
"First of all, we can use Changge Group's overseas influence to relieve our pressure. It was precisely because we saw this that Lao Zhu and I wanted to bring each other in. But that kid was better than us.
I imagined it would be even harder to deal with! He doesn’t look like a young man at all!”
Chu Mingyuan sighed, "As expected, if this young man could be so easy to deal with, there would be no Changge Group today."
Wang Renmu nodded and said in a serious tone: "No matter what, there is no room for failure in overseas markets."
Chen Yuan, Zhao Zhou and others nodded in agreement.
After entering overseas markets, they also tasted the benefits.
But now, Western capital has frequently suppressed them, and various unfavorable policies have put pressure on them.
Sometimes, for an inexplicable violation in business operations, they will be fined tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.
Although they have money, they cannot afford to face such snowflakes of fines.
Chu Mingyuan, Chen Yuan and others nodded.
"Zheng Ge, I'm afraid, has a big appetite!" Zhao Zhou frowned and said, "Besides, he and that guy Yu Gang seem to be having a hard time dealing with each other."
"Yu Gang doesn't care." Wang Renmu waved his hand and said, "Zheng Ge has a big appetite, but the most he can do is be a permanent vice president."
"Permanent Vice President?"
Chu Mingyuan and others frowned again.
The permanent vice president is a position of real power in the business alliance.
Generally speaking, the power is more important than that of the president.
At the very least, if the president makes a decision that is not good for him or is not in the interests of the small group, the permanent vice president can veto it with one vote.
"If you can't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf. If you don't come up with something real, you can't satisfy them," Wang Renmu said.
Zhao Zhou helped his eyes and said with a smile: "It's okay to give them the position of permanent vice president. But to whom? To Zheng Ge, to Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Liang of Hongchen Group? Or to Liu of Yuntian Group.
President? Or those from Yangcheng and Pengcheng? These companies are all influential overseas."
