Chapter 86: Bite back

Wang Rongchang could not stay in Shanghai for a long time, after all, he still had a heavy responsibility. Therefore, on August 15, the city held a farewell symposium for him and invited many people.

Since it was a discussion, it was not so restrictive. At the meeting, the leaders said a few polite words, and then everyone walked around to talk to people they knew, discuss the current situation and the latest situation in both the political and business worlds, etc.

"Mr. Fan--"

Fan Wubing was talking to Maximos, discussing where he should go after returning to the United States to find the talents he needed. Suddenly, he heard someone calling him. When he looked back, Deputy Mayor Wang of the municipal government came over with a few heads of the functional bureau office and smiled.

"Hello leaders--" When Fan Wubing saw this posture, he knew that the other party was coming with great potential.

The two things that trouble Fan Wubing the most at the moment are of course the problems in Shanghai. One is building a building and the other is the city’s need to build a media group. As for building a building, Fan Wubing does not have the patience of investing a lot of money at one time. It takes several years to see the building building. When it comes to that media group, Fan Wubing is not very enthusiastic.

After all, the new Silk Road Entertainment Company he built was just a fun thing and did not invest a lot of energy. However, now it is gradually becoming a leader. Fan Wubing couldn't bear to see that the foundation that Xia Donghai and his wife worked hard to establish was given to the group by the city.

Although Fan Wubing took the blame to him and reduced the burden on Xia Donghai and the others, he still had a headache if he really met these bureaucrats.

As we all know, the most undesirable thing for these people in the officialdom is their shamelessness and bad hearts. After Li Zongwu, the leader of the Thick Black Sect, summed up the four-word mantra that those who want to achieve great things must be thick-faced and black-hearted, many latecomers regard it as the standard and follow it with all their strength to achieve great things.

Therefore, Fan Wubing is a little annoyed when facing these people. You are tight, but they have a lot of time to spend with you! It's such a troublesome thing!

Sure enough, after Deputy Mayor Wang pulled Fan Wubing down, he mentioned building a building. He didn't care about the matter of the New Silk Road Entertainment Company. After all, no matter how hard he was, he was just a small fuss. Although the cultural industry is also known as an industry, its output is not large and it has gained more reputation.

"Mr. Fan, the municipal government plans to go out together in Pudong Circle to carry out development. I wonder if you are interested?" Deputy Mayor Wang asked more skillfully, and did not mention building a building at the beginning.

Fan Wubing did not want to involve the problem of the real estate market. This was a decision made from the beginning. The water here was too deep, and once he entered the real estate market, he could not avoid formal and in-depth contact with the officialdom, which had too much impact on his image.

No one is rich without a fortune, no horse is not fat without night grass, and the real estate market is the main battlefield for collusion between officials and businessmen to make profits. In this kind of place, Fan Wubing avoids it and is afraid that he will take the initiative to take the initiative to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to make tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of yuan. Even if the return is relatively large, it can only make tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of yuan. Fan Wubing puts some effort into the financial market and can make it back without any effort. Why do you have to wade into this muddy water?

Therefore, Fan Wubing immediately replied clearly, "In five years, our company will not be able to get involved in real estate development."

"Why do you say that? Do you have no confidence in the city's policies?" Deputy Mayor Wang was a slick guy. He immediately asked with a very surprised expression when he heard this.

This person is so bad! When Fan Wubing heard this, he couldn't help but curse him inwardly.

Don’t have confidence in the policies in the city? Is this kind of hat also randomly detained?! If an ordinary businessman or is scared by him, Fan Wubing is not an ordinary person. He immediately asked a reason, "Our company is a private company, and a large number of shareholders are foreigners. The situation is quite complicated. They are still doubtful about the current reform and development policies in China, and they are deeply suspicious and unsure. Therefore, before making major decisions, I must also hold a board of directors to coordinate and make a feasibility report. Only after the board of directors approves it can it be implemented. This is different from a domestic company, so please understand. The purpose of our company is to work hard for the high-tech and important infrastructure in mainland China. As for the real estate market, there is no technical content, and we will not accept this kind of business."

As soon as Fan Wubing said this, everyone present had a little embarrassed. They had ignored one thing before, that is, although Fan Wubing is in China, he holds an American passport. Although his father is a ministerial official, it does not mean that his son must buy government accounts. According to rumors, it seems that even when Boss Zhu used Fan Wubing, he used a negotiation tone to solicit his opinions.

Deputy Mayor Wang and others were instigated by the people below, thinking of making some money from Fan Wubing and building the highest building in the country, purely for their own political achievements and face, and did not play much role in the economic development of the entire Shanghai. Therefore, when their proposal was flatly rejected by Fan Wubing, they remembered Fan Wubing's other identity. They couldn't help but feel that they were a little profitable and confused at the beginning.

However, some people don’t think so. A director probably didn’t know the situation and said with some dissatisfaction, “My little comrade, the city has high hopes for you and hopes that you will make some contribution to the economic development of the city. This is your emphasis on you. You refuse it no matter how you think about it? Although your company is large now, it has also developed under the support of the country’s policies. As a person, you still have to remember the source of water."

Fan Wubing looked at the man, too lazy to talk to him more, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

The others looked at the director with a fool-like expression. A person with a good relationship with him pulled him and whispered, "If you don't know the situation, don't talk nonsense. They have made a fortune in the United States and have no relationship with domestic policies. Even now, they are holding American passports. Don't mention any small comrades. If you don't want to call them Mr. Fan, just call Mr. Fan."

"Uh--" When the director who was speaking just now heard this, he suddenly turned red. It turned out that he had made a mistake. It seemed that even if he looked like a Chinese person and spoke Mandarin, he might not be a comrade.

After being fussed like this, Deputy Mayor Wang felt a little embarrassed and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

When Fan Wubing saw this, he knew that it was inappropriate and offended a large number of people for no reason, so he started talking, "In fact, there are also compromises, but we just ordered more than 4 billion aircraft orders recently, and there was not much working capital."

More than 4 billion aircraft orders? A director said after hearing this, "That's not a small number. China Eastern Airlines seems to have purchased a plane worth 500 million US dollars, which is more than 4 billion yuan. Mr. Fan's company is very large."

A person from China Eastern Airlines was sitting next to him. He immediately said, "Mr. Fan is talking about US dollars. Didn't Fan's Investment Group buy an Airbus aircraft worth 2 billion US dollars? Why did it turn into US dollars again?"

The people present suddenly changed their faces after hearing this. What a big deal! China Eastern Airlines and Northwest Airlines have only ordered a billion-dollar plane! Could it be that he really has so much money?!

Fan Wubing replied with a smile, "I ordered an order of 2 billion US dollars from Airbus. Later, Boeing came to me. It happened to be my old friend. I couldn't hide my face and there was indeed a demand, so I ordered a Boeing aircraft of more than 2 billion US dollars." Then he said to himself, "Actually, there is no way. The domestic large aircraft project cannot be established, and international routes are indispensable for large aircraft, so I had to order foreigners. Although I am holding an American passport now, from a heart, I am still closer to my motherland, otherwise I would not have returned to China for development."

"That's it - it's all Chinese, the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang--" As soon as this was said, everyone naturally agreed. Who told me that they were getting an American passport now? It's already very conscientious to be able to come back to invest and develop, and they can't expect them to act according to your roadmap.

However, at the end, Fan Wubing still expressed, "Although we cannot participate in the media group established by the municipal government due to institutional differences, we can engage in some cooperation."

"Oh, please tell me." Deputy Mayor Wang was a little happy when he heard Fan Wubing say this. After all, Fan Wubing has clearly stated that he would not participate in the construction of the building. So if the media group can cooperate, it will be a achievement for the municipal government. After all, this is a cooperation between foreign companies and state-owned enterprises in media and entertainment, which has never been done before.

Fan Wubing has long had the idea of ​​making the New Silk Road bigger and stronger, but this kind of big and stronger cannot be led by the local government. To engage in media and entertainment, you must have your own position and cannot be a voice-sensitive insect, otherwise you will not be able to make real entertainment programs. Therefore, maintaining the independence of the New Silk Road must be adhered to.

But in addition to this, it would be a very challenging undertaking to use the New Silk Road Entertainment Company as the base to exert influence on Shanghai's local media and entertainment industry and assimilate it.

Therefore, Fan Wubing raised a topic, "I think the city can try some new things, such as the New Silk Road Entertainment Company will complement some of the high-quality resources by holding shares in the city's media and entertainment group, which is very beneficial to both of us."
