The generosity of Four Seasons Group once again amazed the mainland government.
There is no harm without comparison. Just look at the stinginess of other Hong Kong investors and you will see who is better.
When Hong Kong capital entered the mainland, the arrogant and condescending behavior of Hong Kong people was very annoying.
They want to eat the best, live in the best accommodation, and some even make unreasonable requests. Perhaps after all, it turns out that these people's true identities are just scions of impoverished families in Hong Kong.
Moreover, these investors only focus on high-quality industries and enterprises in the mainland, and do not even glance at those loss-making enterprises and factories.
In comparison, whether in Yuezhou or in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Four Seasons Group has only acquired loss-making enterprises and helped the government solve problems. It is definitely a good friend.
The news that Shanghai made huge profits from selling land spread, and other cities were so envious that they wished Four Seasons Group would invest and investigate there sooner.
This also made Four Seasons Group very popular among local people when it later went to other cities for investment inspections, and it received green lights all the way.
For this reason alone, the advertising effect of investing in the Shanghai Stock Exchange is worth it.
Chen Xia is now truly convinced by his father-in-law. After some thought and a few instructions, he saved the Four Seasons Group a full 360 million yuan.
So Chen Xia poured a full glass of Moutai liquor and handed it to his father-in-law with both hands:
"Dad, come, let me toast you. If it weren't for you this time, we would have suffered a huge loss. 360 million! I could almost buy two Yuezhou hospitals with that."
Gu Wei was so happy that he took the white wine from his son-in-law and they clinked their glasses:
"Ahem, I was unlucky to become a doctor. If I had entered the business world, I'm afraid my current achievements wouldn't be inferior to Mr. Rong and Mr. Huo, right? Hahaha."
Lu Yuankai also very servilely took the cup to toast:
"Minister Gu, that's amazing! Honestly, I also think this price is expensive, but I can't accurately grasp the psychological price and transaction price in the Shanghai market. You're just like stocks, you're very accurate. You bought at the lowest point and sold at the highest point. I admire you!"
This is half true and half false, perhaps half admiration and half flattery.
How much is the face of Hong Kong people worth in front of their capitalist fathers?
Gu Wei also clinked glasses with Lu Yuankai with a smile, and then clinked glasses with other members of the Hong Kong team who were negotiating.
"From now on, the commercial complex on Nanjing Road will depend entirely on you. I'm just talking, but you're the professionals. Whether our Four Seasons Center can become the largest commercial center in the country, or even the world, depends entirely on you. Thank you for your hard work."
Everyone started to make a fuss
Seeing that the atmosphere was so good, Chen Xia announced the reward plan. Lu Yuankai was rewarded with 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and other team members were also rewarded with varying amounts of cash.
If you want people to work hard for you, you must first let your employees know that their efforts will be rewarded in the end, so that they will work wholeheartedly, right?
The "Four Seasons Center" on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was the first commercial and trade complex in China after its completion.
It integrates shopping, tourism and leisure, including shopping malls, hotels, office buildings, cinemas, supermarkets, restaurants, entertainment venues, etc.
If done well, it can become a template in the future, and other cities can just copy and paste it, without even having to make any changes to the design drawings.
Chen Xia learned this from the Wanda Plaza of later generations.
The only difference is that Chen Xia owns many industries. Even the clothing brand Four Seasons under Four Seasons Textile Company has been developed into a clothing supermarket model like Uniqlo.
There were benefits to accompanying multiple girlfriends shopping in the previous life. Look, they all came in handy after my rebirth.
To be clear, he has never taken a girl to a Uniqlo fitting room...
The celebratory reception was over. After Chen Xia helped the drunken father-in-law to the room, he heard Gu Wei muttering to himself:
"Xiao Xia, please accompany me to my hometown in Northeast China. I miss my parents..."
When Chen Xia heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
The father-in-law's snoring had already started. Chen Xia stood in front of the window for a long time, then picked up the phone and dialed the number of Chen Zhenwu's home in Jiangzhou.
That night, Chen Xia talked with Chen Zhenwu and Yin Yue'e on the phone for a long time.
He talked about his recent career, the babies at home, and insisted on waking up the old lady, saying that he had to hear her voice.
A few days later, Gu Wei returned to his hometown in Fushun with his wife, children and the whole family.
With Gu Wei's support and care, the Gu family moved into a brand new brick house in the village. They had all the household appliances in the house and were definitely the richest family in the village.
The old man and the old woman are almost 90 years old, but they are still in good health. I have to say that the foot of Changbai Mountain is really a Feng Shui treasure land with beautiful mountains and waters.
Chen Xia has become familiar with the Gu family over the years. Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical has an office in Fusong, which mainly purchases some Northeast specialties such as ginseng, tiger bones, and deer antlers.
However, the time when Chen Xia could buy a hundred-year-old ginseng at a very low price of just a few hundred yuan is now a thing of the past.
As he expected, as there are more wealthy people in the country, everyone pays more attention to health preservation, and the price of wild ginseng remains the same every year.
Last year, Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceuticals purchased a 600-year-old wild ginseng for a total of nearly RMB 100,000, which is dozens of times the price 10 years ago.
However, Chen Xia is still willing to wait a little longer. It is not the time to sell it now. After waiting for another 10 years, the market will slowly start to pick up.
The same goes for Cordyceps sinensis.
Afterwards, the families of Gu Zhongguo and Gu Zhongjun also rushed back to their hometown in Northeast China from the army.
In the evening, the family sat around the kang to eat. Gu Wei and his mother were feeding their two eldest grandsons whom they had not seen for a long time.
The eldest son, Gu Zhongguo, and his wife, Ma Huixia, have a son named Gu Qixiu, who is 11 years old this year and is the eldest grandson of the Gu family.
The second son, Gu Zhongjun, and his wife Huang Mengqi also have a son named Gu Qizhi, who is only 5 years old this year and is also an only child.
The two eldest grandsons have been in the army with their parents for many years and rarely return to Yuezhou. Their grandparents see them less often, so of course they love them very much.
Gu Zhongjun is 37 years old this year. Thanks to the support of his father-in-law, he has already obtained two bars and three stars and has become the leader of a certain group. He is in the prime of his life.
Gu Zhongjun is not so lucky. He is 35 years old and still has two bars and one star. He has just been asked to become a flight instructor and no longer engage in front-line flight work, which makes him very depressed.
Gu Wei listened to his youngest son's complaints and said disdainfully:
"What's the big deal? You do whatever the army tells you to do. A soldier's duty is to obey orders. What's wrong with the instructor? He's a flight instructor. He's training talent for the country. What's wrong with that?"
Gu Zhongjun looked dissatisfied: "But Dad, I want to be a pilot. I want to fly fighter jets. I don't want to be a trainer in the back seat. That's so boring."
Old Man Gu still disagreed: "You are too ambitious. Your superiors have their own ideas. You should look for the reasons within yourself."
