Chapter 130 The Person in Charge Comes to the Door
Until about 6 o'clock in the evening.
Zhuang Rongxu and others returned to the hotel.
As soon as he walked into the hotel, the people left behind by Director Liang immediately came to Zhuang Rongxu's side.
"Stop, Mr. Zhuang, we are from the Modu Mansion Department, please ask them to stop."
Because they suddenly came forward, Long Yi and the others directly treated them as uninvited guests.
Long Yi and the others don't know who you are. As long as he doesn't know you and suddenly approaches Zhuang Rongxu, they will quickly stop you.
This is their only mandate.
"Long Yi, please stop."
"Are you from the Magic City Department?"
"Hello, Mr. Zhuang, my name is Ling Yunhai. I am the secretary assistant to Director Liang Zhisong, the person in charge of Magic City. I learned that Mr. Zhuang has arrived in Magic City. Director Liang came to see you in person today. Unfortunately, you are out, so I am waiting here. Waiting for you to come back."
Zhuang Rongxu smiled helplessly when he heard this. He had already guessed that Director Chen must have told people here that he came to the Magic City.
Originally, he planned to really come here to learn about the market and spend two days exploring the Magic City, but now people already know that he is in the Magic City and have found him. Then he couldn't pretend not to know and not go see them.
Zhuang Rongxu then checked the time and saw that it was almost dinner time: "Secretary Ling, can you inform Director Liang and tell him that I am hosting tonight and inviting him to come over for dinner?"
"Okay Mr. Zhuang, I will notify Director Liang right away. Please wait." The secretary quickly walked to the front desk of the hotel, took the phone and made the call.
At the same time here in the Demon City Mansion.
"Ring ring ring!!!"
Director Liang's phone rang: "Hello, this is Liang Zhisong."
"Director Liang, Mr. Zhuang is back. He asked me to ask you if you have time to come over for dinner?"
"Of course, where?"
"At the Peace Hotel."
"Okay, you report to Comrade Xiaozhuang immediately and tell him that I will be there in half an hour."
"Okay Director Liang, I will tell Mr. Zhuang. Do you have any other instructions?"
"No, I'll be there right away."
"Okay, goodbye director."
After Director Liang put down the phone, he dialed the phone again, notified the heads of other core departments, and went with them.
At about 7 o'clock in the evening, Director Liang and the three of them came to the designated box in the hotel.
"Comrade Xiaozhuang, we finally meet. Welcome to the Magic City."
"Hello, Director Liang. I'm very sorry that I didn't contact you immediately due to market issues. Please don't be offended..." Zhuang Rongxu shook hands with Director Liang politely.
"How come, Comrade Xiaozhuang, you are overthinking. I am very happy that you can come to the Magic City. Whether you are here for fun or something else, in short, the Magic City welcomes you."
"Here, let me introduce you. This is Director Gao Shuzhang. This is Director Lai Chunmu of the Shanghai Investment Promotion Bureau."
"Hello, Comrade Xiaozhuang. I have known you for a long time. I am very happy to meet you for the first time today."
"Yes, Comrade Xiaozhuang, your great actions in Pengcheng have already spread throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom department. Thank you very much for your great contribution and support to the motherland."
"Thank you, thank you, Director Liang and all the directors, for your concern and promotion. I am just a businessman. I am just laying the foundation for my own business. It is not of any importance. Everyone, please take a seat." Zhuang Rongxu extended a seated gesture to Director Liang and the others. Sit down.
"Okay, thank you. Comrade Xiaozhuang is indeed a humble and low-key person. Just like your father, a tiger has no dog. It's rare for Comrade Xiaozhuang to invite you to a banquet. We won't be polite. Let's all sit down. Otherwise, in a place like this, there will be no flowers. I'm afraid our few months' salary won't be enough for one meal." Director Liang said while looking at the surrounding environment with a smile.
Although what he said was a bit exaggerated, as the person in charge of the entire Magic City area, Director Liang's salary is at least 500 yuan, so it is not a problem to spend one meal here a month.
But if ordinary workers outside had a meal here, it would definitely cost several months of wages.
In the early 1980s, when the mainland was just opening up to foreign investment, the general wages of ordinary workers were not high, only about 30-50 yuan a month.
If it is foreign investment, it will only cost about 50-80 yuan at most.
A meal here costs at least about 100 yuan. How many months do you think it would take an ordinary worker to have a meal here?
For example, in 1985, foreign companies Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba and other R-country companies established branches in Longguo and announced the wages of ordinary workers.
The published salary at that time was 150-180 yuan. Therefore, based on the salary in 1985, when we first entered the 1980s, the average worker's salary was 50 yuan, which was considered very high.
"Director Liang, you are being humble. You are all good directors who serve the people. Of course you deserve to eat anywhere, but you just don't want to spend so much money to eat in these unreliable places." Zhuang Rongxu said straightforwardly express his point of view.
He does understand that some people in this generation, no matter how rich they are, are just not willing to spend more money to enjoy high-end services.
And his father was like this.
Do you think his father, the chairman of Nanjing Bank, has no money?
Of course there is money.
Even if Nanyang Bank does not belong to him but to the motherland, as the chairman of the board, his father's monthly salary is probably over 10,000 yuan.
Day after day, year after year, I have worked for the motherland for decades. This salary plus bonuses and dividends, not to mention too much, is probably tens of millions, which is not enough to eat and consume. rise.
But they were used to being poor, and the mission in their hearts made them care about the hinterland that needed their support even more. Therefore, we are willing to endure hardships and save money to help the development of inland areas.
Many people say that even if his father's South Central Bank does not belong to him, it still has wages left to his descendants.
Zhuang Rongxu knew that his father had donated all the money he had earned in his life to Shantou University.
Although Li Chaoren funded the majority of the university's construction, the person in charge was his father. Together with Shao Liushu, Li Chaoren, Zhuang Jingyan and other Chaozhou businessmen, they jointly established this university.
The money his father donated was not much, only tens of millions in total, but it was all his wealth.
As a result, no descendants were left behind.
It would be false if Zhuang Rongxu, his descendant, had no complaints about such a thing. But he was born in that period, and there were many people who made selfless contributions. He could also understand that this generation gave everything for the motherland.
In addition, now that he has been reborn and knows more, he can understand his father's actions and how he feels.
Sacrifice one's own family to help everyone, this is the motto of countless selfless people.
What's more, his father's approach was not to make his family unable to survive, but just because they were not rich and powerful. This can only be blamed on the incompetence of their brothers and sisters and their inability to achieve their own careers.
"Hahaha, Comrade Xiaozhuang, you really praise us. The consumption here is very high, but we can't afford it. With your help tonight, we dare to sit down here and enjoy ourselves." Liang The director responded with a smile.
"Yes, thank you Comrade Xiaozhuang for giving me the opportunity to enjoy it here."
"Hahaha, directors, you are more polite than me. I just said, I'm just a businessman who smells like copper. How can I compare with you."
"Come on, we are meeting for the first time, so stop complimenting each other. We won't come home until we get drunk tonight." Zhuang Rongxu picked up the wine glass and changed the subject.
Otherwise, such topics would be endless. He could accept a few words of praise, but if he was praised all the time, Zhuang Rongxu would think it was flattering him, and he couldn't bear it.
"Yes, we also respect Comrade Xiaozhuang and everyone for coming to the Magic City. We hope you can have a good time here. If you need help, just ask."
"Thank you, directors. I would like to pay tribute to you first."
The two parties had several glasses of wine in a row, chatting all the time, and neither of them mentioned investment.
And Zhuang Rongxu didn't take the initiative to talk about it.
He actually understood in his heart, how could these people come over and simply drink with him?
The purpose must be to attract investment.
However, although Zhuang Rongxu will not invest a lot of money here, he will also set up a branch and can be regarded as investing, so he is not in a hurry and will wait until a few of them take the initiative to bring up the matter.
About an hour later.
Zhuang Rongxu, Director Liang, and the others were almost in the state. They had begun to have some slurred speech, but they were still relatively sober.
At this time, Director Lai of the Investment Promotion Department finally spoke: "Comrade Xiaozhuang, you have been in Magic City for a day, right? What do you think of Magic City?"
"Very good. I like the Magic City very much. After all, this is the earliest place to develop. It is much better than Pengcheng and not bad compared to Xiangjiang."
"Hahaha, as long as Comrade Xiaozhuang likes it here, do you have any plans to develop industries here? I believe that the development of Magic City will never be worse than any other region in the future. I can guarantee this." Director Lai is confident Full of assurance.
"Yes, Comrade Xiaozhuang, you also know that the Magic City was the earliest developed area in the inland area. It will also be a key development area in the future. It is also a good place for your investment." Director Liang also took the opportunity to second his opinion.
Zhuang Rongxu did not refute them after hearing this, and nodded slightly: "Directors, let me be honest with you. I believe Director Chen must have told you about my other identity, right?" Zhuang Rongxu looked at Director Liang and the others and asked.
"Another identity?" Director Lai and the second-in-command, Director Gao, were puzzled.
Only Director Liang nodded with a smile: "Comrade Xiaozhuang, only I know this matter. I also promised Director Chen that I won't tell anyone."
Zhuang Rongxu smiled when he heard this: "Then I would like to thank Director Liang."
“My two companies are currently investing more than HK$5 billion in projects in Hong Kong, Mainland China, R Country, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, Brazil, Mexico and other regions, so we will not invest in any other regions for the time being. Large Amount."
"However, it is inevitable to establish a branch in Magic City. I will introduce some major industries here to open up channels. When the projects in other places are almost completed, or the company has free working capital, I will also open up channels here. Build factories, build branch buildings, and bring all core industries here.”
After hearing Zhuang Rongxu's previous words, several directors looked regretful.
But what Zhuang Rongxu said later gave them hope once again. As long as Zhuang Rongxu was willing to invest here, it would be a good start.
What they value is the golden signboard of Zhuang Rongxu's name. They can use his name to promote the company in the future to better attract foreign investment.
You see, Mr. Zhuang Rongxu, the youngest rich man in Hong Kong, has also invested in our magical city.
This is the best publicity effect.
After all, there is a saying that no one plows a thin field, but when it is plowed, everyone robs it, which means the same thing. When there are no good foreign capital investing here, it will make people feel that this is not a good place to invest.
But once a good company invests here, it will have different effects.
Forming an effect of following the trend of investment.
This is one of the reasons why Director Liang and the others most want Zhuang Rongxu to invest here.
Of course, it would be better for them if Zhuang Rongxu was willing to invest a lot of money in the Magic City.
