Zhao Heyao, 38 years old, native of Xiangjiang, graduated from Oxford University and currently serves as deputy general manager of the Securities Department of HSBC Bank.
Just after New Year's Day, he came all the way from Xiangjiang to Guocheng. To be honest, on the way to Guocheng, he was quite prejudiced against Guocheng. He really couldn't understand how an unknown town that was not even accessible by plane could come to Guocheng.
A real dragon appeared.
In the era before highways, the rickety bus ride from Yuzhou Airport Bus Station to Jianan Bus Station took nearly eight hours to reach this city I had only heard of a year ago.
Along the way, after leaving Yuzhou City, we saw a backward agricultural civilization. Most of the towns we passed were just tile-roofed houses made of stone and wood, and there were very few brick-concrete structures.
After gathering the people who were here in advance, He Yao did not go to visit Li Yuhang immediately. He knew very well that Li Yuhang had not agreed to so many senior investment bankers coming before. Even if he went at this time, he would not have a good meeting.
result.
After a good night's rest at the Jialing Hotel, Zhao Heyao rented a car with a driver at the hotel the next day and went shopping in Guocheng with his assistant.
The urban roads in Guocheng in this era were not very good. Compared with those wide roads, many roads in Guocheng can only allow two cars to travel parallelly, not even four lanes, let alone six or eight lanes. Compared with big cities,
It looks like a small county town.
Zhao Heyao, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at the scenery on both sides of the car window and said in a not very standard Mandarin: "Master, I wonder if you know Mr. Li Yuhang?"
As employees of the Jialing Hotel, Li Yuhang is their boss, and in addition to being drivers, they are also members of the Jianan Clan's Intelligence and Governance Office.
In addition to their duties as drivers, they also observe the actions and chat content of these guests. Once the Jianan Group is involved, they will note it down and report it to the Intelligence and Governance Office.
The driver Chen Yinggui, who lives in the same town as Li Yuhang, entered the Guocheng driver's license training through the recruitment of Jianan Supermarket Group last year, and successfully passed the driver's license. In the end, he did not enter his ideal logistics department of Jianan Supermarket Group, but entered the Information Management Office? What happened?
After the training, he was assigned to work at Jialing Hotel.
As the most well-known figure in Fruit City, is it normal for his boss to be questioned by outsiders? At this time, he didn’t think that the people in the car would have any bad thoughts about Li Yuhang? But he was still prepared to ask this question.
human purpose.
"Li Yuhang, is that the legend of our fruit city? CEO of Jianan Supermarket Group, I believe you know? It took two years to become the top retail supermarket group in the country? This was built by Li Yuhang from scratch.
And he is not yet 21 years old. If my child has one-tenth of Mr. Li’s ability in the future, I will burn the incense."
"We have also heard of the legend of Mr. Li Yuhang, but it is puzzling to me? Jianan Supermarket Group has achieved such great achievements? Why didn't he move the group headquarters to a big city like Rongcheng or Yuzhou? In other words, it makes the master angry.
If so, this fruit city is really not worthy of the strength of Jianan Supermarket Group."
Listening to Zhao Heyao's words, Chen Yinggui looked unhappy, but he still said calmly: "Sir, although we in Guocheng cannot compare with your big city, we believe? As long as there are entrepreneurs like Mr. Li here, the people of our city can
With our efforts? Our Guocheng will definitely become a well-known city in the country and even the world in the future.
Don’t forget that the road we are taking now is relatively narrow. Is this the road we were on a few years ago? If you go to University Town, Beverage and Food Industrial Park, Pingdong Silk Textile and Garment Industrial Park, Guocheng Economic Development Zone and other places to see? Over there?
Are the roads dozens of meters wide? There is a green belt in the middle, street lights on both sides, and sidewalks.
Our urban roads will also be gradually renovated this year. After a few years, our urban road construction will not be worse than that of those big cities."
Zhao Heyao just thought that Chen Yinggui was a person who had a very strong self-esteem for his city and was unwilling to listen to outsiders say what was wrong with his city.
However, he also heard from it Li Yuhang's status among the citizens of Guocheng, which was a benchmark and the hope of countless citizens in Guocheng. They believed that as long as Li Yuhang was here, Guocheng would be able to catch up with those big cities, and its prestige was somewhat high.
Contrary to his imagination, it is no wonder that Li Yuhang is unwilling to move his headquarters to other cities.
However, he wanted to find out more. Before coming, HSBC's senior management specially gave him a document containing some unconfirmed information about Li Yuhang.
Like many families in Hong Kong, Li Yuhang owns more than just the Jianan Supermarket Group. Although Li Yuhang has always denied any connection with other companies in public, there is no smoke without fire, and Zhao Heyao believes that the citizens of Guocheng know this better.
"Jianan Supermarket Group is indeed well-known across the country. Star Airlines Real Estate Group also caused a sensation two days ago. The news of tens of thousands of people rushing to buy it was reported by News Network. I heard that Mr. Li Yuhang is also the major shareholder of this company. I wonder if the master knows about it?"
"You are talking about Star City City, I heard about the grand event two days ago, but it's a pity that my deposit is too small, otherwise I would have bought it too.
I know you come from a big city, and the elevator room may not be that big of a deal. This Star City is quite fashionable in our area, and anyone with a little bit of money would like to buy one.
However, the boss of this group is Li Chengxing, who is said to be Li Yuhang's uncle, and I have not heard that Li Yuhang has any shares in it.
You said it's really strange, how come everyone in Li Yuhang's group is so powerful? It's probably because their ancestors buried a treasure land of Feng Shui. This luck is so good."
Zhao Heyao was not satisfied with this answer. He then asked about Jianan Agricultural Products Group, Jinfeng Liquor Industry, Guocheng Silk Group, Yudan Clothing Company, Jianan Transportation Company, etc. Unfortunately, he did not get the answer he wanted.
.
If the Jianan Group is real and Li Yuhang controls such a huge industry, then it will be the target of HSBC's efforts to win over. They estimate that if the rumors are true, then Li Yuhang's future capital can be on an equal footing with the four major families in Xiangjiang and surpass the four major families.
It's not impossible.
Li Yuhang's rise has been too fast. In less than two and a half years, just one Jianan supermarket group, if listed in Xiangjiang, would have a minimum market value of more than 5 billion.
Five billion. Only the top ten families in Xiangjiang currently have such huge assets. The assets of those second-rate families are not as good as that of Li Yuhang who founded a company in two years.
Moreover, the Jianan Group also has companies in agricultural products, wine, clothing, transportation, sports, medical, retail, beverage, real estate and other industries, and the strength of each one is not low, with only one bank as the hub, it can be formed immediately
A small consortium.
Zhao Heyao really didn't understand how such an existence could be allowed in the mainland, and how could Li Yuhang dare to do this? Isn't he afraid that one day he would have nothing and be imprisoned himself?
Thinking of this, Zhao Heyao suddenly knew how to persuade him to cooperate with Li Yuhang. The Jianan system is getting bigger and bigger. Although Li Yuhang has made many operations, he wants to reduce his own risk, so listing is Li Yuhang's best choice, and it is to go to Xiangjiang to list.
.
As one of the dominant players in Asia’s financial industry, HSBC can reduce a lot of trouble for the listing of Jianan Supermarket Group and can also provide Li Yuhang with a lot of help.
HSBC is very willing to help some rising stars, such as the former charter king and Li Chaoren, who later brought huge returns to HSBC. Li Yuhang is also one of their favorites. They believe that being on the line with Li Yuhang can bring benefits to HSBC in the future.
to get huge benefits.
On this day, Zhao Heyao did nothing. He looked at the university town under construction and visited the Jianan Shopping Center that had just opened. He went to Star City and looked at the Pingdong Airport, which was under accelerated construction.
and Guocheng Railway Station.
This is a city full of vitality, much like Pengcheng in the early 1980s. Factory buildings, roads, and supporting facilities make this small city rapidly stretch its skeleton.
Moreover, this city also attaches great importance to education, medical care and sports. He was very lucky to watch an A-B game at night. The lively atmosphere at the scene made him immersed in it.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the Xiangjiang basketball team was no match for the Yudan basketball team, especially the team's stars Liu Yifeng and Zhang Xuyang, who were too strong.
And he could tell from the jerseys of the fans in attendance that these two people were very popular in Fruit City.
He now agrees with what Chen Yinggui said in the morning. In a few years, Guocheng will be able to catch up with big cities in some aspects. This city is full of vitality, and all of this is because of the person he is about to meet.
