Section 35: The Storm in Shanghai (1) (Part 1)

"Do you like this? I really can't tell that you have a little nostalgia." Zhao Guodong looked around in surprise.

Garden Hotel is not one of the best hotels in Hujiang. Although it is also an old five-star hotel, it seems a bit dull in the increasingly competitive hotel industry. However, it cannot be denied that it is its slightly beautiful charm that attracts many guests with unique preferences. However, Zhao Guodong did not expect that Liu Qiao, who is usually very stylish and charming, also likes it.

"Why not? It's very good. I like the taste here very much. It's quiet and gentle, and makes people nostalgic." Liu Qiao ignored the slightly teasing smell in Zhao Guodong's words. The sun is good and the air is fresh. The 30,000 square meters of garden green space is the symbol of the name of the Garden Hotel. The French fashion and elegance still lingers here after seventy or eighty years.

"Well, it's good, and the location is also very good. It's a pity that people always feel a little nostalgic about the old days. Well, what's going on, it's like a dose of opium, which makes people obsessed with it, lacks a little excitement." Zhao Guodong said thoughtfully.

"All right, Guodong, don't take your official words here, it sounds awkward." Liu Qiao frowned slightly. If this person really transformed into a bureaucrat who was dedicated to the mission, then I wonder what Daisily would feel and would he divorce him?

"Are you awkward? I just said my own feelings." Zhao Guodong shrugged, "When will daisily arrive?"

"It's almost done. When I called her, she had already entered security check. It's time to land now. It's within an hour." Liu Qiao glanced at Zhao Guodong who seemed a little careless, "I don't think you look very tired now. I heard from DSAISIYI say that you were very busy some time ago? Are you still busy with your political achievements projects?"

Zhao Guodong frowned unaware of it. Liu Qiao always had a condescending pride, and she didn't know where she got so many things to be proud of. If she hadn't helped her, he would have wanted to sting the other party, but there was no need now. Being petty with women would actually only contrast the man's narrow-mindedness.

"I'm sorry, I seem to hurt you. You are different from those officials." Liu Qiao also realized that he had a little distorted and smiled apologetically. "I have dealt with these officials in the local area. If you get too close to them, they will often be self-righteous. If you keep a certain distance and height, they will respect you."

"Understand, I sometimes do the same. If anyone keeps a high point in front of me, I will selectively 'respecting' him." Zhao Guodong smiled casually.

He glanced at Zhao Guodong in amazement, and a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Qiao's mouth. This person is still like this, it's great.

The components of China United Investment Group are very complicated, at least Zhao Guodong has not yet fully understood the structure inside.

This investment group is not entirely a venture capital type that can make profits and run away. They have both the performance of venture capital and the actions of traditional investment institutions. As long as the project is suitable and dares to enter long-term investment projects on a large scale, the degree of capital enrichment is beyond the ordinary people's imagination.

Liu Qiao is undoubtedly an important role in it. As for how she got to this role, Liu Ruotong never mentioned it, and Zhao Guodong never asked, but he knew that Liu Qiao's position in China's joint investment was by no means dispensable.

Zhao Guodong vaguely knew that this institution was very close to the capital of Poly, Hong Kong Hui Defeng and Guo families, especially when it was established in the 1980s, it had the background of Hong Kong Chinese-funded consortium. According to Zhao Guodong's judgment, both Hong Kong-funded families are important backing for China United Investment. Although Poly entered the company later, it should be its most important and closest collaborator in the mainland. It is precisely because of such a complex equity structure and huge personal connections that China United Investment Group is a spectacular deep-sea giant shark at home and abroad.

"Guodong, I have heard some news about your Ningling in Beijing and Hujiang. Don't be nervous, it's all positive news. The three major silicon industries have settled in your Ningling. It is said that there are still two or three companies that are interested in your Ningling. One of them has even found our China United Investment. Unfortunately, our China United Investment has entered United Semiconductor, so I declined. However, I introduced them to another investment institution. It is reported that they have now entered the substantive negotiation stage." Liu Qiao smiled and teased: "Are you Ningling interested?"

"We Ningling welcome any legal enterprise to develop in Ningling, especially those that meet the requirements of our municipal party committee and government to develop the leading industries. We will provide them with more thoughtful and meticulous services." Zhao Guodong responded with a smile without being soft or hard.

"Oh, Guodong, are you still exaggerating in front of me?" Liu Qiaofeng's eyes widened, "Do you think you Ning Ling is confident now and your waist is hard?"

"Wrong, Ningling's back has nothing to do with softness and confidence. Don't think I'm an official accent. The silicon industry has always been the dominant industry that Ningling hopes to develop. Of course, we welcome it. As for the confidence, our Ningling is still far from confidence. Compared with cities like Suzhou, Wuxi and Foshan, we are not even as good as others. Do you think I can have confidence?" Zhao Guodong changed his tone.

"Hmph, I really think you are overconfident." Liu Qiao then restrained his momentum. "Ningling is developing very fast, and the investment environment is said to be quite good now. I have talked to some friends in Shanghai that the settlement of Cummins and Futian has a great influence and status in enhancing your Ningling. But overall, the conditions for attracting foreign capital to enter your Ningling on a large scale are not very mature, and the conditions need to be further improved."

"We welcome foreign capital, and I don't think the impact is not great. In fact, we hope to cultivate more local enterprises to develop, which is what I am most happy to see." Zhao Guodong fought back without showing any silence. "I always thought that large projects can play a driving role and a benchmark role, but to truly support the long-term and sustainable development of the local economy, small and medium-sized enterprises still need small and medium-sized enterprises, so we have been working hard to help small and medium-sized enterprises develop. Unfortunately, you China United Investment seems to be only interested in large projects and ignore the market needs of small and medium-sized enterprises."

Liu Qiao laughed. She admired Zhao Guodong's neither humble nor arrogant attitude. No matter who wants to act superior in front of him, he will be defeated by his counterattack either openly or secretly.

daisily is really destined to be with this person. They all belong to the kind of pride hidden in their bones, but on the surface it is a gentle posture as if the spring breeze is bathing in the face. However, once it touches its core, you will feel that the occasionally revealed sharp edge will make you feel that once you meet head-on, you will be bleeding. This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with.

"Guodong, what you said is unreasonable. We are investors, not banks, and we have specialties in our professions. If we don't do everything, we can't make any money. At this stage, small and medium-sized enterprises mainly refer to the difficulties in financing for private small and medium-sized enterprises. Isn't this the reason why private lending and borrowing in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are popular for a while? At this point, I think government departments should take the initiative." Liu Qiao seemed to feel some of Zhao Guodong's ideas and chose words.

"There are many reasons why banks are unwilling to lend to small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition to the high risk reasons, one of the most important reasons is that this type of loan management costs are too high and the benefits are not obvious, which has caused banks to be reluctant to loan in these aspects. At present, some small capital guarantee companies have appeared in coastal and relatively developed areas, and the country has also made some clear regulations on policies. At the beginning of the year, the National Planning and Development Commission had issued a series of regulations on encouraging and strengthening the construction of the credit guarantee system for small and medium-sized enterprises, allowing private capital to enter the small and medium-sized enterprise guarantee market. Jiangsu and Zhejiang have taken the lead, especially in Zhejiang Province, which is developing very quickly."

Liu Qiao noticed that Zhao Guodong showed a deep thoughtful look on his face. This guy loved to think very much, and was also a role who was willing to accept new things and was willing to try. As a municipal party committee member, this was quite rare.

"If you Ning Ling really wants to do something about this, I would rather introduce some friends in this regard to you, but..." Liu Qiao paused.
