Chapter 133 An Invitation From the Old Man

That afternoon.

Zhuang Rongxu did not see anyone from any department. After resting for a while, he went out for a walk to see how prosperous Kyoto was at this time.

As for Director Qiao.

After returning to work, he held a meeting immediately. After all, he had to pay attention to Zhuang Rongxu's request. He must know that the inland is in great need of foreign support during its development.

What's more, for people like Zhuang Rongxu who strongly support the mainland, he cannot let the other party feel cold.

"Everyone, do you think our local construction companies can take on all the various projects to transform Kyoto?" Minister Qiao asked seriously.

"Today's meeting is to solve problems. You can put forward any ideas or suggestions you have."

"Minister Qiao, I have some suggestions. I think it is a good thing to cultivate local builders, but after all, the construction teams in our own region have many immature problems. For example, mechanical problems, technical problems, design problems, etc. are different from those of outside construction companies. It’s very far.”

"Yes, I agree with Director Cui's suggestion. We can train local construction companies step by step, starting with small buildings. When they mature and have certain skills and abilities, we can go all out to train them. But now the project transformation in Kyoto This is about our image, so we can’t be careless.”

"Director Qiao, I have a different view. Although our local builders are far behind in terms of machinery and technology compared to outside companies. But don't forget, isn't this how we have been here for decades? If you don't understand, just ask Explore slowly, learn, and if you don’t have advanced machinery, find a way to get it back.”

"Yes, only when our own people become stronger, this is something that belongs to us. We have always relied on people from outside. Then when will we be able to truly stand on our own and how to get rid of the situation of being inferior to others in every way? Moreover, it also goes against what the old man is currently promoting. For this task, I think it’s best to use our own people.”

There was no shortage of stubborn conservatives in the conference room, and there was also no shortage of ideological idealists, but their starting point and purpose were the same, that is, they wanted to make the inland better.

For a while, Minister Qiao really continued to be embarrassed. Before meeting Zhuang Rongxu, he supported cultivating local builders.

But now he thinks that what a director just said is right. Kyoto is the image center of the Dragon Kingdom. Everything here will be shown to the outside areas in the most direct appearance, so he can't be careless.

Two ideas gave him a choice.

"Is there any better suggestion?" Minister Qiao asked. He believed that there must be a better way, but he just didn't think of it for the time being.

"Dong dong dong..."

At this time, there was a knock on the door in the conference room, and then Minister Qiao's assistant secretary walked in.

"Minister, the old man's phone number."

"Okay, you guys continue to think about whether you have any better suggestions. I'll be back later."

Soon Minister Qiao jogged back to the office.

"Hello, old man, I am Bangguo."

"Comrade Bangguo, I heard that a young comrade from Xiangjiang came to Kyoto, and you met him, right? What's the situation with him?" The old man on the other side of the phone asked casually.

But no one dared to show composure in front of him because of his calm and self-defeating aura.

"The old man, his name is Zhuang Rongxu, and he is the chairman of Xiangjiang Dingsheng Company. In addition, he also has another identity. He is the former chairman of the Western Bank (Hutchison Whampoa) and the current (Shengshi Group). He is also the son of Comrade Zhuang Shiping of the South Central Bank. .”

"Oh, he is also a descendant of our old comrade Zhuang Shiping, which is very good. But just now you said that he is the chairman of Heungkong Hutchison Company, so what's the matter?" the old man asked curiously.

This matter hasn't been reported to him yet, so the old man doesn't know about it. It's just that he accidentally heard a secretary reporting on work at noon, heard about Zhuang Rongxu's stay in Shanghai, and knew that Minister Qiao had seen him, so he called him. Just asking about the situation.

The old man never expected that asking so many surprises was indeed beyond his expectation.

"Old man, this is what happened..." Minister Qiao told the old man everything he heard from Zhuang Rongxu.

"Hahaha, I heard you say that, this little comrade is not a fuel-saving lamp. He actually plotted against Xiangjiang Cheung Shi and HSBC Bank at such a young age. It's not easy." The old man responded lightly.

"I haven't confirmed whether this is true or not. After all, we have no reason or purpose to intervene in this kind of thing, so I didn't confirm it. But he found me at noon and wanted to participate in the renovation of the Kyoto project. I We are having a meeting to discuss it, and I don’t know how to deal with it for a while.”

"Comrade Xiaozhuang believes that you have been reciprocated by the old man. Like his father, he is very supportive of our inland. I don't want to let him down with such a sentimental comrade who fully supports our work." Minister Qiao By the way, I reported this matter to the old man, thinking about asking him for some advice.

"I'm calling you just to get to know this young comrade. In the reports of Director Chen from Pengcheng and Director Liang from Modou, they both highly praised this young comrade. Have you met him today? Do you feel that he How about it, is he the kind of person who gives strong support just to please us, or is he really like his father?" The old man's tone suddenly became serious.

"this……."

"I'm sorry, sir, but I'm not sure yet which category of person he belongs to."

"But judging from his current investment in the interior, I don't think it's just to please us." Minister Qiao expressed his opinion.

"How do you say it? Let's talk about it?"

"Old man, you should also know how much he has invested in Pengcheng, right?"

"The investment in one industrial park alone exceeds one billion. The first phase of the project will involve 100 acres of land. I heard that the adjacent land of nearly 200 acres will be developed later to create an integrated industrial park. I have also seen the design drawings. Yes, the idea is very good. And this kind of comprehensive industrial park will be of great help to our development. First, it can create tens of thousands of jobs. Second, it stimulates surrounding development. Third, it drives manufacturing production. Fourth, it brings us a lot of tax revenue. .”

"In addition, Dingsheng Company and Shengshi Group built branch buildings in Pengcheng at the same time. The drawings show that they are all tall buildings over 200 meters, with a total investment of not less than 20 Hong Kong dollars. In addition, there are real estate construction companies, hotels, restaurants, petroleum, and telephones. Companies, department stores, clothing brands, various electrical appliance brands, electronic products, etc. have invested almost all the industries of his two groups in the inland. Such people must be very optimistic about the future development of the inland, but ask yourself, old man, yourself Do you have absolute confidence in our future?”

"So I think Comrade Xiaozhuang should have been influenced by his father, so he chose to strongly support our various work in the interior. This is my opinion."

After Minister Qiao stated his opinions on Zhuang Rongxu in one breath, he seemed to be in high spirits. He was indeed more optimistic about Zhuang Rongxu.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come out to see Zhuang Rongxu without any consideration when he contacted him.

After all, he is the head of a department, so no one can meet him, and he is so busy with official duties. He usually doesn't have time to waste on socializing. From this, it can be seen that he values ​​Zhuang Rongxu.

The old man on the other side of the phone fell silent.

It's been a while, but there's still no response, and Minister Qiao didn't bother him.

"If you think about it, he is indeed a good comrade. He lives in the Fishing Hotel, right? Let's make an appointment with him. I'll greet this young comrade tonight." "

"What?"

"Old man, do you want to see him in person?"

"And you, since you value this little comrade so much, and he is really who you say he is, why doesn't it hurt if I meet him?" the old man responded.

"Okay, I'll make an appointment later."

"There is also the matter of transforming the Magic City into a city. Let's talk about it after I meet that young comrade tonight. I will give you some suggestions then."

"Great, thank you for your support, old man."

"Okay, let's do this for now."

"Goodbye, old man."

After the old man on the other side put down the phone, he picked up the information next to him again and looked at it.

"What an interesting little guy. I hope you will contribute wholeheartedly to the development of the inland."

The information in the old man's hand turned out to be Zhuang Rongxu's information, and all of his information contained the story of Zhuang Rongxu's rise, including how he got Hutchison by relying on Hua Ji.

Even the money he earned from stock trading and the Wharf incident are all included in this information.

There are records from Zhuang Rongxu's appearance, starting from the Nanyang Bank loan to enter the stock market, and then starting his own business and acquiring the first electronics company, etc.

There are even secretly cultivated societies, including killing Weng You. All in all, there is a lot of information about Zhuang Rongxu's whole process in this year.

If Zhuang Rongxu were here, he would definitely feel horrified when he saw this information, and felt that the old man's energy was so terrifying.

As for why the old man contacted Minister Qiao and pretended not to know about Zhuang Rongxu and asked him to report it to him, he was probably the only one who knew.

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy. No one can guess what they are thinking?

But this is enough to show that one should not underestimate the old man's energy. Even though he does not go out, he can understand the world's major events. At least in his own territory, nothing can be hidden from him.

Unless he didn't pay attention to him and he didn't take the initiative to investigate a person, he wouldn't be discovered.

At this time, Zhuang Rongxu was here.

"What, Minister Qiao, are you kidding me? The old man is hosting a banquet to see me tonight?" Even though he has been a man for two generations and has achieved a lot now, Zhuang Rongxu was also shocked when he heard the news.

You must know that even if his father comes to Kyoto, he may not necessarily be entertained by the old man at a banquet. What's more, he is such an unknown person. He really can't figure out why the old man would take the initiative to entertain him?

But no matter what, since the old man invited him, he must go over and see him.

See what this old man wants from him?
