Binhai, China, is the most developed city in China over the past century. It is also one of the first coastal cities to be opened up to the outside world. Binhai has gradually developed into the most important bridgehead for reform and opening up. Relying on its excellent geographical location, Binhai has gradually become an economic centre.
When it comes to Binhai, the Bund is an inescapable topic. Especially now that Dongpu has just been developed and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower is just an idea, the Bund has become the most prosperous area of Binhai. area. The buildings here are filled with all kinds of domestic and foreign banks. But even if we talk about the buildings on this Bund, there is still the Peace Hotel that cannot be bypassed.
If the Bund is the landmark of the waterfront, then the Peace Hotel is the landmark of the landmark. Since its completion, this hotel has been known for its luxury and mainly hosts celebrities from the business and political worlds, both domestic and foreign. Whether it is heads of state such as the US president or French prime minister, heads of state such as Warren Buffett and Li Cheng, or celebrities like Charlie Chaplin, they all stay at the Peace Hotel when they come to the Binhai Metropolis.
It is for this reason, the Peace Hotel is mysterious and high-end in the eyes of ordinary people, and they all look up to it with awe. Even even after liberation, the Peace Hotel is no longer exclusive to the powerful and wealthy, but belongs to everyone who can afford to stay here. However, for ordinary people, they still stay away from this place, as if there is a barrier here that can distinguish between people.
Due to people's awe of the Peace Hotel, it is usually relatively deserted, but on January 16th, it suddenly became bustling with activity.
From from 5am, strict identity checks were carried out at the entrance. In the past, people were allowed to go in for a visit, but now they need an invitation. However, this is nothing new to the old Binhai people: 'Hey, there must be some important event at the Peace Hotel again!'
And around 9am, reporters from major domestic media outlets, including the central media, gathered at the Peace Hotel. The banner at the entrance said it all: 'Congratulations on the successful convening of the National Entrepreneurs Conference!'
You have to know that this was still in 1991, and people's thinking was still very traditional. They looked at the banner and were surprised: 'National Entrepreneurs Conference? Is this the richest boss in the country? Is are the brand owners we often see on TV going to come?'
Facing these questions, some well-informed people say, 'Of course, like Lingnan's Jianlibao, Taiyangshen, and Vanke, as well as Haier and Wanda in the north, our local Binhai brands of White Rabbit candy and Feng Phoenix bicycles, and the doll-smiling company next door in Hangzhou, etc. The CEOs of these major companies are all benchmarks for various production units in the country, and of course they have all received invitations to attend this meeting.'
There are also some people who are not convinced: 'What do you mean by that? Those are just insignificant minor players. In my opinion, the most important one is Yangcheng Group. Its Eight Treasures Porridge and Cola Instant Noodles are both best-selling products nationwide. I read in the newspaper that Yangcheng Group has just these four products, and they casually achieve a production value of tens of billions of yuan. That's a truly super unit!'
This news made people suddenly realise: 'So Yangcheng Group is also coming? No wonder I saw our Binhai City Hall car earlier. It is said that the meeting will be presided over by our new mayor.'
'No not only is our Binhai mayor going to attend, but the mayors of Hangzhou City next door, Lingnan's Baiyun City Mayor Nanjiang City Mayor, and Jiangxia Canghai and many other places will also be there. After all, Yangcheng Group is considered a business dynasty that has risen from the gutter that has risen to prominence. They all need to learn from Yangcheng Group's development experience. Even if they can't replicate Yangcheng Group's success, they can at least find some tips for development, right?'
'And I heard that Yang Cheng Group's chairman and president, Ms. Su Han, is a very young and beautiful girl in her twenties. God knows what kind of luck and means she has to develop the Yangcheng Group's myth. What kind of man can get her favour...'
The crowd the crowd of onlookers at the door tirelessly spread the gossip they knew, while in the conference hall of the Peace Hotel, the hotel was already making final preparations, and all the guests attending the meeting were waiting in their respective lounges for the meeting to begin.
As the most important person at this most important person at the conference, Yangcheng Group Chairman Su Han was sitting on the single sofa in his lounge, with Red Kid Du Peng sitting on the other sofa next to him. In front of them, a middle-aged man was very respectfully briefing them on the situation. This middle-aged man is Li Qingyuan, the former general manager of Baby Smile, who was poached by Zhou Ming and is now the general manager of Yangcheng Group.
'Chairman Su, Du Dong, this is the draft speech for the meeting prepared by the office for you. As we have obtained the requirements of the conference in advance, whether they are mayors and cadres from all over the country or the CEOs of various enterprises invited to attend, they wanted to hear about Yangcheng Group's development experience. Therefore, the office emphasised this aspect of the information according to your wishes, Mr Su. Do you think this is possible?'
While saying this, Li Qingyuan took out a speech and handed it to Su Han. Just as she took it, her phone rang. Su Han answered normally, but then she froze and the speech fell to the ground.
Du Peng and Li Qingyuan looked at her in surprise. Su Han then immediately stood up and said, 'Manager Li, I'm sorry, but I have something very important to attend to right now and I need to rush to Yanjing. So you will have to . You can also decide what to say at the meeting. After all, you have witnessed the development and rise of Yangcheng Group. And with your wisdom, I think you know what to say and what not to say.'
Li Qingyuan froze for a He didn't rush to say anything, but subconsciously glanced at Du Peng next to him. He knew that Du Peng was a red-collar worker, and more importantly, Du Peng might not be related to Yangcheng Group on the surface, but in reality he is also an important shareholder of Yangcheng Group. In order to avoid monopolisation, brands such as Shaqima ham and sausages were transferred to his group.
It is precisely because of this , if there is really something urgent in the capital to be dealt with, as an important partner of the Yangcheng Group, he couldn't possibly not know about it, but now he is clearly as confused as I am.
In response, Su Han gave Du Peng a sentence 'Zhou Ming is back,' and then left the room. This time Li Qingyuan was dumbfounded when he saw that Su Han had really left.
And with Su Han's departure, Du Peng could only bitterly smile. He turned to Li Qingyuan and said, 'This time, Chairman Su really can't been able to attend. Don't say just Binhai City Mayor, even if it's the Prime Minister, I'm afraid she'll still have to leave. So you'll have to put in a bit more effort.'
Finally, Du Peng reached out and patted Li Qingyuan on the shoulder, then got up and left the room.
Facing the departure of Du Peng and Su Han one after the other, Li Qingyuan felt very helpless. He couldn't imagine how he ended up with such bosses, but at the same time, he felt even more surprised, because he heard the name he hadn't heard in almost two years – Zhou Ming.
Outside the door, Du Peng quickly caught up with Su Han and said to her, 'Han, don't go in a hurry. Tell me what's going on. That guy Zhou Ming suddenly wants to come back?'
Su Han shook her head: 'I'm not really sure about the details, he just said that his flight arrives in Yanjing today, it seems to be related to the Gulf War that is about to break out in the Middle East.'
'Gulf War? Zhou Ming, after all that time abroad, is now going into the arms dealer business? Or is it the oil?
Du Peng widened his eyes in amazement. Beijing was very surprised and said, feeling very puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up and then asked Su Han, 'But I'm a little worried that he's just coming back. After all, the Tao and Tan families caused a huge scandal back then, and they all have intricate connections with the central government. Many old families in Beijing are very dissatisfied with Zhou Ming. Back then, Old Yang was worried that this conflict would escalate and cause trouble, so he reluctantly let him go abroad to avoid the limelight.'
'I understand, but Zhou Ming said he would be fine because it was Old Yang who invited him back,' said Su Han.
Su Han's words also made Dupeng became even more curious. As a member of the Red Clan, he was well aware of the difficulty of Yang Lao's decision. After all, there were so many clans in the Central Plains, and the fact that you could be in charge did not mean that you could be tyrannical and arrogant. You still had to give other clans face.
As a second-generation leader, he cannot possibly not understand this truth. Then the fact that he is still allowing Zhou Ming to return now means that he must have already reconciled some relationships, otherwise those clans would be up in arms.
So could it be that Zhou Ming has brought back some cutting-edge black technology from the United States?
With countless doubts filling his mind unanswered questions, he flew back to Beijing with Su Han, and at 11 o'clock that night, they arrived at the Beijing Airport exit with their bodyguards.
They originally occupied a conspicuous spot at the exit, but then another group of people came and stood next to them.
Su Han didn't not bothered, but Du Peng couldn't help but get annoyed. He joked that he was a royal relative who had grown up in the imperial capital, especially since he was waiting here for his long-lost brother. If he couldn't even take up a spot for Su Han, he didn't need to hang around in this city of 49 anymore.
So Du Peng very patiently took his bodyguard and told the group to fuck off. But the group was obviously not convinced: 'Who the hell are you? If you don't fuck off, you'll be sorry. You're looking for trouble with the young master? Do you know that the young master is the owner of Erguotou Brewery. He is here waiting for important foreign clients. If you know what's good for you, you'll get lost, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!'
Du Peng was infuriated 'It seems that I haven't shown my face in the capital for a long time, and a broken wine-making thingy dares to be arrogant in front of me?'
As Fang was about to lose his temper, he heard Du Peng continue, 'You are Wang Mazi's man, right? Just so you know, even if Wang Wang is here, I'll still tell him to get lost. Listen carefully to my name, I'm Du Peng, and that guy over there is the chairman of Yangcheng Group. Are you listening?'
The other party was shocked shocked. The name Du Peng immediately escaped him, but Yangcheng Group was a name that rang a bell. He knew that it was a special group company with unrivalled influence, and at least he could never afford to offend it.
After understanding this he left with a forced smile. What he couldn't understand was why the chairman of Yangcheng Group would come to the airport to personally greet someone. No wonder when he watched the news today news that the chairman of Yangcheng Group had missed the Binhai Entrepreneurs Conference. It turned out that she had picked someone up in Yanjing. But who was it that made her abandon such an important meeting, and even let go of the deputy provincial governor, Binhai City Mayor, like a pigeon?
But then he found out, because he saw Su Han suddenly cheer, then quickly run into the crowd and finally fall into the arms of a young man.
Everyone here froze, and all they heard Su Han shout before running over was...Zhou Ming!
