The large round table, which seats 15 people, was packed with important figures from both the political and business circles of Tianjin.
Su Wu and Erpi, sitting among them, could be considered rising stars in the business world.
Their outstanding performance naturally deserves praise.
The two are not very old, yet they already have such a business empire, which makes many people sigh.
The top leader looked at them with great satisfaction.
"Wow, who would have thought that two young people could build such a large company with an investment of over 1 billion without making a sound?"
"It's truly unexpected that such a wonderful company originated from Tianjin. Congratulations!"
"The future ultimately belongs to you young people. Work hard, and if you encounter any difficulties, just tell us, and we will definitely help you."
His voice was calm and capable, full of expectations for Ruyang Company, hoping that they could develop well.
Su Wu was naturally very moved.
He never expected that such a beverage company would be valued so highly by the higher-ups.
Perhaps this is the passion for development that unites people in this era.
With a sigh, he nodded emphatically, "We will definitely work hard, grow bigger and stronger, and go global."
Upon hearing this, all the bigwigs who were accompanying him smiled.
Of course, they didn't really agree with it in their hearts.
For a beverage company to dream of going global is a bit too ambitious.
Let's establish a foothold in the domestic market first; young people's words are too unreliable.
A middle-aged man couldn't help but smile and speak.
"It's good for young people to be energetic, but they can also be unrealistic. Taking steady and solid steps is the right way."
Su Wu glanced at the other person and knew that he was a real estate tycoon from Tianjin.
He didn't bother to remember their names, feeling that they didn't have much interaction.
He had only spoken his mind out of genuine feeling, but he hadn't expected the other party to be so dissatisfied.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could these bosses possibly care about a mere beverage company?
But what they didn't know was how terrifying a large and powerful beverage company could be.
The real estate market is indeed promising, but we'll have to wait a few years; it's only just beginning to emerge.
The golden age of real estate is still several years away.
By then, Ruyang Company's beverage sales would have been an absolutely staggering number.
Based on a profit of 1 yuan per bottle, they can be said to make money no matter how many bottles they sell.
Take Coca-Cola's sales as a reference. It must sell at least several billion bottles a year in China, which is several billion Chinese Yuan.
Even excluding the effects of financial capital, real estate may not necessarily outperform them in terms of returns.
While inwardly grumbling, Su Wu simply smiled and remained silent.
The top leader waved his hand, saying, "It's good that young people have ideals. Do your best."
There were no key topics discussed at the banquet; it was essentially a meeting of bigwigs from Tianjin.
After the banquet ended, the number one boss sat down alone with Su Wu and Erpi in the rest area.
He wore an approachable smile, without a trace of condescension.
"If Ruyang Company is short of funds, the local government can provide support. It shouldn't be a problem to lend you 100 million yuan."
This is the truth, there is no exaggeration in it.
They had already given a loan of 50 million, and now they've given another 100 million, which is quite a lot of support.
Su Wu and Erpi quickly expressed their heartfelt gratitude.
The old leader thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "If you plan to continue expanding, then talk to the local government and we will give you the green light. But businesses also have an obligation to help with local development."
Erpi immediately stated, "Leader, rest assured, our Ruyang Company guarantees that the annual funding for local construction will not be less than 10 million yuan."
"Good, very good. That's a conscientious company, remembering the source of our success even when we're down on our luck. By the way, is there anything else you need?"
The old leader was very satisfied and couldn't help but pat his thigh with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Su Wu immediately sat up straight.
He said seriously, "Sir, actually I have a big project that needs your help with?"
"Oh, what project is it? How big is it?" The old leader immediately became interested.
"I plan to start an electronics company to produce chips and various motherboards. The investment is expected to be 1 billion US dollars."
"What? 1 billion US dollars?"
Upon hearing this, the former leader couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
This number really startled him.
Su Wu felt helpless; he had already underestimated the situation.
If he said he needed 1.5 billion US dollars, he would probably have deterred the other party immediately.
The old leader looked Su Wu up and down, somewhat unsure of what to do.
Although he already knew during the meal that Su Wu's family owned a mine, he felt that Su Wu's wealth had reached its limit.
One billion US dollars is now equivalent to more than 7 billion Chinese Yuan, which is an astronomical figure.
How many companies today can reach such a scale?
He looked at Su Wu seriously and said, "Child, it's good to have drive, but you also have to be realistic about your abilities. Even if we wanted to help you with more than 7 billion yuan, it's impossible."
"I understand. I've already raised some funds, and the factory site is built in the northern part of Tianjin, but I still have a funding gap..."
Having finally seized the opportunity, Su Wu was determined not to miss it.
Regardless of whether his former superior believed him or not, he first explained his situation.
Sure enough, the old leader frowned upon hearing this.
"The factory is already built? How much capital have you invested? Can you guarantee the production equipment?"
"We have already invested 5 billion yuan, and the production equipment has been ordered and will be delivered back in batches after New Year's Day."
