"Kid, you're getting more and more amazing. It's already so large-scale and you're still not serious." Zhang Wenyu laughed. "You've been earning more and more these years."
"It's good to have enough money to spend. It doesn't matter how much I earn. " Li He saw that Zhang Wenyu did not move his chopsticks and urged, "Is it not to your taste? What do you want to order?"
Zhang Wenyu waved at the waitress and smiled. "Young lady, please give me a plate of fried tofu. Use either rapeseed oil or peanut oil."
A middle-aged man that Zhang Wenyu brought over also stood up and followed the waitress. He whispered something to the young lady and she nodded.
"Young lady, wait." Li He seemed to understand something and said to the waitress, "Please remove all the dishes and only serve beef, mutton, and fish. Then, add some vegetables. You can only use rapeseed oil."
Zhang Wenyu waved his hand. "There's no need to trouble yourself. If you can eat, then eat more. I'm not that unreasonable."
"I'm sorry, Director Zhang, I really didn't know." He did not eat pork. Putting braised pork here was just to disgust him.
For example, he did not eat snake meat. Once, when he went to Shenzhen, everyone treated him to a meal. There was Taishi Five Snake Soup. Other than drinking some wine, he basically did not eat anything else!
Li He decisively asked the waitress to remove the dishes. He would not die if he did not eat a meal.
Then, he hesitated and asked, "Is this wine drinkable?"
He remembered that when he went to the Soviet Union, they were all squeezed together to eat. He did not deliberately observe them.
Zhang Wenyu said angrily, "If you don't give me wine, I dare to cut ties with you."
"Then let's not go home until we're drunk." The main course had not been served yet. There were only a few plates of peanuts. Li He pushed the plates in front of Zhang Wenyu and the others and raised his cup. "Peanuts with wine. The more you drink, the better it gets!"
This was the national dish that went with wine!
"I didn't go by Binhai. I went straight south from Shimen to Dezhou, Jinan, and then to Laiwu." Zhang Wenyu said as he drank, "The situation here is better than I thought. From the electrolytic aluminum to the calendering industry, it's quite competitive."
"I was wondering why you've been walking for so long. Turns out you've been to so many places." Li He smiled and said, "While the whole country is implementing the contracting system, this place is already implementing the shareholding system. The local leaders have their own ideas, so naturally, the economy will not be bad."
In the mid-to-late 1980s, Qilu Province had begun its enterprise reform early and was in the forefront of the country. At present, Qilu Province's state-owned enterprise reform, especially its shareholding reform, was in the leading position in the country. It had become one of the provinces with the most active shareholding economy and the largest number of shareholding enterprises in China.
Zhang Wenyu nodded and didn't deny it. He just said, "When I just came, I met a few old friends. They said that Zhangdian Cement is also doing shareholding. This is a big factory. What do you think?"
Li He shook his head. "If the current dual ownership structure hasn't changed, I won't participate. I don't object to state-owned shares. In fact, I don't have a problem with the proportion of state-owned shares taking the lead.
However, the logical sequence of invigorating enterprises should be to achieve the goal of changing the operating mechanism through the reform of property rights. Shaping the shareholding structure with the legal person as the main body should be the direction of the shareholding reform.
But now, just like the Four Sands Group, the leadership structure has not changed. For example, the Grinding Research Institute and I are both shareholders and basically have no disposal rights. Right now, as shareholders, the only rights we have to the company are to receive dividends and bonuses. "
Zhang Wenyu said, "But you've also invested in many enterprises overseas. You don't have the right to decide, right?"
Li He said, "Money calls the shots overseas. Capital is king. If the management is disobedient, I can change them at any time."
"You mean you want to be the controlling shareholder?"
The hot dishes kept being served. Zhang Wenyu only picked up a piece of cabbage with his chopsticks. When he saw Li He's puzzled expression, he smiled and said, "I'm getting old. It's better to eat something lighter."
"Not necessarily. It depends on the situation. I'm only looking at the management." Li He nodded affirmatively. He had learned from his mistakes. He now understood that the money and equipment he had invested previously had definitely gone down the drain.
However, he originally had the intention of casting a net and focusing on catching the fish. If he invested in ten companies and lost one, he would still be able to make a profit.
He did not necessarily want to be the controlling shareholder. However, if he met a good management team, such as Weiqiao, Haier, Hisense, Yankuang, Nanshan, or Weichai, wouldn't he be stupid if he did not invest?
He still had a batch of USD bonds that were about to mature. He was prepared to invest all of them in China. As long as he could invest, he would invest.
He would invest in half of the top 500 companies in China. He would invest in a hundred of the top 500 companies in the world. Just the thought of it was domineering!
"Many of the power companies are also doing shareholding. You can travel around and see more." Zhang Wenyu smiled and said, "Qilu Power is doing it now."
"I can take a look at that."
Li He was actually a little hesitant. In fact, the power grid and power industry was the most obvious regional cluster. Those who were doing well in this field were either from Qilu or Qilu.
It was fine if he wanted to become a shareholder and earn some money. However, if he wanted to make a name for himself, it would be difficult.
It was just like the terminal building materials markets all over the country, especially those that sold ceramics. There were no locals or foreigners. Most of them were Hu Jian's own people.
In the next few days, he followed Zhang Wenyu and met many people. Most of them were small shareholders of Four Sands. He also saw what it meant to be a cluster. Other than classmates and people from the same hometown, there was also a group called colleagues.
In terms of rank, these state-owned enterprises were limited to the main hall level. Their rank was the same as the mayor, but their authority was definitely not as great as the mayor's.
However, what surprised Li He was that when everyone went to the city hall together, the senior officials and the mayor all came down to greet and accompany them.
The general manager of Ji Petrochemical, who was surrounded by stars, put his hands behind his back and gave orders. The others nodded from time to time, looking like they had learned something.
Zhang Wenyu smiled and explained, "He used to be the general manager of Ji Petrochemical. Now, he is Senior Official Zhang and is in charge of industrial work. What do you think?"
"You can play it like that?"
Li He smiled helplessly and cupped his hands at him. She cupped her hands at him. "My admiration for you is like the surging waters of a river that never ends!"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Although Zhang Wenyu's words were disdainful, there was a smug look on his face.
Looking at the lively group of people, Li He did not follow them in. Instead, he turned around and left.
The hotel he was staying at was already full. It was said that it had been booked by a Korean businessman. He could only arrange for Zhang Wenyu and the others to stay at an international hotel not far away.
When he came out of the hotel, he saw a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes. He huddled around the stove and ate while warming himself.
"Mr. Li." Qi Hua poked him with his finger.
"Hmm?" Li He realized that an old man was staring at him without blinking.
Jin Lin said, "Mr. Li, he has been staring at you for a long time."
Li He smiled and said, "It's no wonder. A cool man like me is so bright and outstanding. That melancholy gaze, that sigh of stubble … Hey, what's with your expressions?"
He was angry that Jin Lin and the others did not support him.
However, he immediately sighed and said, "Sigh, too bad it's not a little girl. To be honest, it's really uncomfortable to be stared at by an old man."
The old man had already been discovered by Li He, so he brought the few people behind him and walked over.
Qi Hua said softly, "He is the former chairman of the Fujita Group, Umehara Moji. The current chairman is his son."
"Umehara Moji?"
Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road.
He should have brought Zhu Weiqi's father here a long time ago. The son should pay his father's debts.
"Hello, I've seen you before." Umehara Moji walked in front of Li He.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I've seen you before." Li He did not expect this old man to have such good Chinese, but he really had not seen him before.
However, it was not strange. After all, this old man had participated in the war against Chinese. He knew his enemy and himself better than the Chinese in this aspect.
