Magic City Airport.
A convoy consisting of a Mercedes-Benz G63 and two Mercedes-Benz Maybachs drove off the exit plank road. Si Mingyu and Zhang Ningxi came to pick up Zhang Tianming and Shui Ningshuang.
They had just moved into their new home this year and now the Spring Festival was approaching, so the two of them discussed and decided that it would be a good idea to invite their parents to celebrate the New Year. After all, the first year after moving in should be lively, right?
At this time, red lanterns symbolizing joy had been hung in front of the garden gate, and the housekeeper Liu Ping brought people to the gate to welcome the arrival of a group of people.
"Mr. Zhang, Madam."
Zhang Tianming and Leng Ningshuang, who had gotten out of the car, were stunned by the garden and the grand occasion in front of them.
"I'll take you two to visit." Zhang Ningxi happily walked in holding her parents' hands.
After all, she is only twenty years old. It may not be obvious in front of outsiders, and in front of her parents, she is just a child.
Zhang Tianming and Leng Ningshuang are a couple who have traveled far and wide and are knowledgeable.
I've seen many gardens larger than this one, but talking about the area without considering the location is pure arrogance. This is the western suburbs of Shanghai, not their hometown in Jilin Province. For the same price, getting a piece of land there with a security guard and a nanny would be considered a long-distance relationship, but here, you can't get it just because you have money.
The overall style of this garden is based on the elegance of Jiangnan gardens. Various architectural decorations are mainly practical and do not blindly pile up expensive materials. After all, the owner is a young person who cannot accept the old-fashioned decoration.
Zhang Tianming prefers the wine cellar because he developed a good alcohol tolerance when doing business with Maozi in his early years. Although he drank less later, the habit of taking a sip remained.
The wine cellar is very rich, with most of the high-end red and white wines available. Of course, there are definitely no rare or limited editions, after all, the wines here are all used for daily drinking. It is no exaggeration to say that if these wines were sold on the market, the price would not be less than 100 million, because the inventory is so large.
Si Mingyu knew about his father-in-law's hobby, so he said that when he left, he would give all the wine to Zhang Tianming to take away and send it to him by charter plane.
Although Zhang Tianming was happy, he felt embarrassed to accept it. One or two bottles didn't matter, and even one or two boxes was considered as the younger generation's filial piety to the elder. But moving all of it away directly was too much, and it was not something an elder should do.
Leng Ningshuang was particularly interested in the physical books in the library. While there certainly weren't any rare copies, all the books were rubbings of ancient texts, from the first batch of publications, which was quite rare. Furthermore, reading in this purely ancient library offered a completely different experience, both in terms of the environment and the mood.
This is also Zhang Ningxi's favorite place to come. As the tallest building in the entire garden, the view from the railing is beautiful. It is an elegant environment for reading on the couch, or you can hang up the words you have written to ponder.
Of course, these alone cannot reflect the value of this garden. Then why is it worth 2 billion?
The first is the service. It can be said that all the services of the Xijiao Hotel can be enjoyed by the garden owners. The park resources are of the kind that one can take a walk through the back door at any time.
Secondly, there is service. There are three approved helicopter flight routes, which can reach Shanghai Airport, Shanghai Pudong Airport, and Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated Ruijin Hospital. In theory, the owner of the garden can meet his medical needs in about ten minutes, even in the most congested traffic.
Of course, there is one thing that cannot be mentioned, which is the well-equipped "underground bunker" under the garden. The cost is one aspect, and whether you can build it is another. I will not go into details here.
In comparison, there is not much to say about dinner.
In terms of ingredients, the staple food is all produced on their own farm, and the vegetables are not only produced in-house but also air-shipped the same day. Other ingredients such as seafood are also air-shipped directly from the place of production if needed. There are companies specializing in this business, which is actually not a big deal.
The chefs, both Chinese and Western, are highly qualified, and they regularly visit major hotels for exchange programs to enrich their menus. Furthermore, the Xijiao Hotel's chefs are always available, and even the best chefs in Shanghai can be hired. After all, cooking a meal doesn't cost much.
Afterwards, Zhang Tianming took Si Mingyu to have tea, while Zhang Ningxi took her mother shopping.
"We have already eaten the rice produced by our own farm. I won't say much about how it tastes. The only problem is that the cost is high. According to this standard, we lose money for every acre planted." Zhang Tianming took out a black leather notebook. He was used to writing down some things in a notebook.
"It's just how much my family eats in a year, so it doesn't matter."
Individual consumption is always small, even if the quality requirements are slightly higher.
"I also raise some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep for food, but it will take some time to get them back, so don't worry."
For Zhang Tianming, being the agent for East Asia Mingyu Agricultural Company's business not only brings him extra income, but also huge social status. Any official attaches great importance to enterprises that can grow grain steadily.
Si Mingyu set up the agricultural company not for the purpose of making money, but simply to give back to society while ensuring that he did not lose money. This made local officials pay more attention to it.
The two chatted for a while and the topic turned to Zhang Tianming's trading company.
"Mao needs almost all of our country's light industrial products, but in recent years their requirements for brands have also increased."
"This is normal. After all, living standards are improving."
"Also, with more and more companies trading with that region, it's not as profitable as before."
"Does Damao lack electronic components?" Si Mingyu suddenly thought of his plan to build his own electronics factory.
"Some items are definitely missing, but I don't know what specific models are missing. I have to go back and investigate." Zhang Tianming didn't dare to say anything because he had never been involved in this kind of product before.
"Recently, the people below me are negotiating the acquisition of several electronics factories. I don't want to do business in the domestic market to avoid internal competition, so I want to see if there are any channels in Damao. I don't expect to make money in the early stage just to run in the equipment and train the employees." Si Mingyu expressed his thoughts.
"I'll investigate what electronic components they need when I get back." If you don't insist on making a profit in the early stages, then there will be no problem with sales.
At this point, Si Mingyu called Fu Wanyun again to inquire about acquiring an electronics factory. Such factories are plentiful in China, and acquiring a modest one would be easy enough. However, Fu Wanyun wanted to acquire multiple factories to form his own production chain, where raw materials go in and parts come out.
