Early the next morning, a convoy consisting of Hummers, RVs and a comfortable minibus set off for Hengdian.

Because they were taking care of the children, Qi Tianhai and his wife, Li Suzhi, Gu Weihong, the nanny and others were in the RV. Others who wanted to take the minibus took the minibus, and those who wanted to take the minivan took the minivan.

After a four-hour journey, we entered the boundary of Jinghua, Zhejiang Province, and met Yang Fengmei, all of whom were old acquaintances, and it became even more lively.

On the bus, Sun Yuehe held Yang Fengmei's hand and said to Li Ying and many children at home: "That year, your uncle was seriously ill. Teacher Yang called on teachers to donate money, those looking for a house, and those looking for a hospital.

I went to the hospital and ran around and helped a lot. Qingzi was nothing at all at that time. Later, when he wrote a book and published it, it was Teacher Yang who came forward to help negotiate. Our family is from rural areas and is uneducated, but we must have

Repay a favor, otherwise what's the difference between it and an animal?"

Li Ying said: "Girl, how about we kowtow?"

Yang Fengmei was startled. Looking at Li Ying's sincere face, she didn't look like she was telling a joke. She quickly stopped her and said, "No, no, no, if you keep doing this, I'll get off the car. I'm a teacher, and Zhang Qing is so good. I

I’m just trying my best, how can it be that exaggerated? Zhang Qing’s mother, don’t say that!”

Qi Juan and Zhou Yang laughed so hard that Zhang Qing also smiled and persuaded: "Okay, mom, don't make Teacher Yang uncomfortable."

Yang Fengmei smiled and said, "That's right! Besides, Zhang Qing didn't owe me any favors. Zi Tong has only graduated two years ago and is scheduled to go to Hong Kong Island to work as a TV station manager. She is more respectable than her father!"

A group of people laugh.

Qi Juan smiled and said: "Before, Zhang arranged for people to give gifts to school teachers on Youth Day, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Women's Day, May Day, Labor Day, June 1st, August 15th, November... Anyway, it's a holiday.

I went to give it away in my name. But the teachers couldn’t stand it anymore and asked Teacher Yang to say, don’t give it away, don’t give it away, haha!”

Sun Yuehe said: "It should be given! When the teachers donated money, they never thought that Qingzi would be able to pay it back. Juanzi, what is the saying, if you owe someone a drop of water, you can return it to the ocean?"

Qi Juan smiled and said: "The kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by a spring of water."

Sun Yuehe said: "Yes! That's it!"

Yang Fengmei waved her hand and said: "It's enough to give them away for the Chinese New Year. The teachers who gave them away are really embarrassed. The other teachers in the family courtyard of No. 1 Middle School have started to gossip. It's okay if you take it seriously. It's all the teachers should do.

It's not good to make a fuss."

Qi Juan smiled and said, "Teacher Yang, are you still in contact with No. 1 Middle School?"

Yang Fengmei laughed and said: "Why don't you contact me? You call me every now and then and ask me to persuade Zhang Qing to return to Jiangjing to invest."

Qi Juan looked at Zhang Qing, who said: "We have already made arrangements. After the flood last year, the big boss of Hubei Province contacted me after he came to Beijing and asked me to invest. Twenty cinemas have been built in Jiangjing City, and there are eighty more

A store, an instant noodle factory, and a crocodile shirt and clothing factory were also started and completed there. Speaking of which, our family actually doesn’t have many industries, and there aren’t many capable people. Later, we had no other choice, so we bought a 100 million-dollar E-commerce store.

Provincial special bonds can be considered as support.”

In 1999, Jiangjing City had a population of 8 million.

With a large number of laid-off workers, the number of jobs Zhang Qing can provide is really limited.

Yang Fengmei said: "That's enough! Teacher Wang said that these US$100 million in foreign exchange bonds are more useful than two billion RMB!"

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "The interest they offer is also high."

Yang Fengmei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can that be the same thing?"

This is 1999, not 2022.

In the last century, even in the last year, because it had not yet joined the WTO, the domestic currency was not recognized outside, which is no different from the Q currency.

But the U.S. dollar is different. To buy advanced equipment and introduce technology from abroad requires a world currency.

After Zhang Qing smiled, Yang Fengmei asked Sun Yuehe: "Can you adapt to the climate in the Magic City?"

Sun Yuehe smiled and said: "The house is okay, there is air conditioning. But the warmth of the air conditioner is not the same as the warmth of the boiler at home in Xijiang. But it is not bad. That year in Jiangjing, it was snowing outside in the winter, and the people in Jiangjing's house were

There was no heating or air conditioning, so everyone was wearing big cotton-padded jackets and sitting next to each other."

Yang Fengmei smiled happily and said, "Zhang Qing's mother still likes Xijiang, right? I heard Zhang Qing say that she wanted to take you to Pingjing and the Magic City hundreds of times, but you just didn't want to."

Sun Yuehe said with a smile: "That's right, for us people from Xijiang, nowhere is as good as Xijiang. If it snows less than one meter in winter, it's not even winter!"

Everyone in the car laughed, and Zhang Land said: "Mom, we want to go home during the winter vacation this year!"

Sun Yuehe said again: "What are you going home for? Do you want to herd cattle or farm and feed pigs? Come back now, you don't have to wait for the New Year!"

Zhang Lan: "..."

Qi Juan smiled and said, "Mom, Xiaolan can come back this year, so she doesn't have to make up classes. Her grades are very good."

Sun Yuehe still shook her head: "She will definitely want to go back to other children, so why don't they go back? It would be embarrassing to go back if they all get such low marks in the test."

Actually, this is only one aspect.

Because the four children of the Zhang family all had very good grades, the Sun family was lagging behind.

But on the other hand, when the children of the Sun family returned home, their parents were there, and the whole family had a lively reunion. The four Zhang family members could only visit the graves when they returned home.

So to sum it all up, don’t even reply.

It happened that Zhang Qing was getting married on New Year's Day, and all her family members came over to meet and that was it.

Arriving in Hengdian in a blink of an eye, Xu Wenzhong, the chairman of Hengdian, was waiting at the roadside in person.

Zhang Qing got off the car and met: "Dr. Xu, you are so polite. I specially said hello to the person in charge here and asked them not to disturb you." He is an old man in his sixties.

Xu Wenzhong said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, don't blame them. I heard that the door of the Jiao Fang Palace built at the back was opened, and many people were preparing inside. I inquired again and found out that you were coming..."

"Gotta, gotta, gotta!"

Zhang Qing laughed angrily and said, "You are old enough to be my grandfather, but you are still talking about you. Don't you mean to embarrass me?"

Xu Wenzhong burst out laughing, and several middle-aged people beside him also laughed.

Everyone thought that the legendary figure was as aloof and arrogant as the rumors said, but they didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.

Zhang Qing waved to the motorcade and let it go first.

Xu Wenzhong came to greet such a large group, so he thought something was going on.

After the motorcade passed, Zhang Qing looked at Xu Wenzhong and said: "Director Xu, today is a family event, so I won't bother you to receive it. If anything happens, I will greet you. Otherwise, it will be too troublesome for you and I will not feel comfortable here. I still

I'm young and have little experience in the workplace, so if you have anything to say, speak up. Do you have anything serious to talk about? If you have something to say, just speak up. I will answer small matters on the spot, and leave major matters to the committee for discussion, but I will give the answer as soon as possible."

Xu Wenzhong was a little confused by Zhang Qing's directness. Not to mention now, ten years from now, or before the eight regulations came out, most major events in the country will be held at the wine table.

Even after the eight regulations were announced, they were no longer visible, and the same was true secretly.

When Maotai collapses, it means that this unspoken rule has really died.

A person like Zhang Qing who speaks quickly and quickly is a bit shocking at the moment.

Fortunately, Xu Wenzhong was not an ordinary person. He pointed to the middle-aged man in his forties next to him and introduced: "Director Zhang, this is my son Xu Qian. He is now in charge of Hengdian Group and hopes to cooperate with Dujuan Group and become a strategic partner.

"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "It's a good thing to want to cooperate. Du Juan never refuses cooperation. But except for the cultural industry, our two groups have almost no overlap in business."

Xu Qiandao: "Director Zhang, I heard that the Shengshi Investment Foundation under your name is willing to provide funds for domestic companies with development potential and invest in development..."

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "That's true, especially this year. Last month our country and Laos and the United States signed a bilateral agreement on accession to the WTO. Trade will soon promote the growth of a large number of enterprises. However, a number of high-quality domestic enterprises are currently

The most constrained aspect is capital, especially foreign exchange. Without foreign exchange, you cannot buy advanced production lines, and if you cannot innovate technology, you cannot compete with overseas factories. When foreign capital is introduced, equity capital is easily eroded and it is easy to sell it at a low price.

Therefore, Shengshi Investment injects funds into a number of high-quality domestic enterprises and strives to achieve a win-win situation. But as far as I know, your Hengdian Group has

It’s doing quite well, and it’s a collective enterprise, so I’m afraid it’s not easy to accept external investment, right?”

Xu Qian said with a smile: "Director Zhang doesn't know that Hengdian Group has completed its restructuring this year and became a private enterprise. In addition to the cultural industry, we can actually increase cooperation in the electronic, electrical and pharmaceutical industries..."

Any discerning hero can see that the current state-owned enterprises are going bankrupt, which is a gluttonous feast for the people with lofty ideals in private enterprises.

But there is a threshold here. The more chips you have in your hand, the more confident you will be in staking a claim.

The most valuable bargaining chip right now is foreign investment.

His father Xu Wenzhong is old and now all his energy is focused on Hengdian Cinemas.

All other sectors of the Hengdian Group were handed over to him.

Xu Qian wanted to use capital to invest in vertical and horizontal mergers to expand his assets, but what he lacked most was still a huge amount of foreign exchange.

Zhang Qing naturally understood Xu Qian's intention. He thought about it and asked, "Have you discussed this matter with our Mr. Zhao?"

Xu Qian nodded and said: "We talked about it." He showed a wry smile and said: "Mr. Zhao's request is a bit high, US$400 million to acquire 30% of the shares of Hengdian Group."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "It's not a lion's mouth, but it's really not that much of a premium... Then what is your psychological threshold? For Mr. Xu's sake, you name a number and I'll give it to the foundation.

Just make a phone call and go talk."

Hengdian Group, twenty years from now, only BAT will be familiar to the common people, and there will only be some well-known Internet celebrity companies.

However, if you have a little understanding, you will know what a behemoth the Hengdian Group is.

Medicines, magnetic materials, lighting, film and television, and futures finance are all covered. Among them, Hengdian East Magnetics and Propulo Pharmaceuticals are industry leaders and have the best asset quality.

The six listed companies under Hengdian are only the tip of the iceberg of Hengdian Group. Hengdian Group has actually invested in as many as 170 companies. Industries such as real estate, trade and retail, airport shipping, gas and water services, chemical materials, etc. are all hidden under the iceberg.

All are unlisted assets.

There are only a handful of people in China who can really get along with the Xu family and his son.

However, this is the result of twenty years of rapid advancement in the trend. Although the current Hengdian Group is also excellent, it is only excellent.

At present, Zhang Qing, a famous figure in the world, has given the Xu family enough face. This is really beyond everyone's expectation...

Xu Qian was speechless for a moment, Xu Wenzhong hurriedly said: "Director Zhang, we are still talking about business..."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Twenty years ago, before things changed, Mr. Xu was able to lead the villagers to do business and run the earliest township enterprises. He was a pioneer of private enterprises in New China. I respect him very much."

, and I also hope to see Hengdian Group, under the leadership of Mr. Xu, move forward more courageously and achieve great results. Now is the golden period for the development of private enterprises, and we should indeed seize the opportunity. It doesn't matter."

Xu Wenzhong said: "Then let's do what Mr. Zhao said. It's more fair."

Zhang Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you can take care of the construction of the film and television city now. The Hengdian Group should be left to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu, tell me how much money you want for 30% of the shares. Or

, it doesn’t matter whether you have fewer shares or more capital. I believe in you, you will definitely make money from this investment, it’s just whether you make more or less, it doesn’t matter.”

Xu Qian glanced at his father and smiled bitterly. Once favors were involved in business, it would be difficult to negotiate. But having said this, he no longer felt shy. He gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty percent of the shares, I

I hope to get an investment of US$600 million!”

"Can."
