Feng Jie looked at the elites accompanying him, who were all in high spirits and full of enthusiasm. He could not help but smile, feeling deeply gratified.
Originally, returning to China to start a business was not his first choice. When Ding Qianlie extended an olive branch to him, he was negotiating with two of the world's top 500 companies about employment matters. The sky-high annual salary they offered made him tempted.
But when he made up his mind to sign the letter of employment with one of them the next day, the business goddess Ding Qianlie, who had earned tens of billions of dollars with millions of original funds on Wall Street, extended an olive branch to him.
To be honest, the treatment offered by Longteng Group was far less than that of the two top 500 companies, so he naturally chose to refuse.
But before leaving, Ding Qianlie said, "Do you want to enter a top 500 company as a senior worker, or do you want to create a miracle and build a top 500 company by yourself?"
Feng Jie didn't answer, but he couldn't sleep that night. He had a brilliant resume of working in several top 500 companies, and the money he had earned was enough for him to squander for a lifetime.
Sometimes he even felt confused and decadent and didn't know why he continued to work. Ding Qianlie's words seemed to open Pandora's box and gave him a new life goal.
Being a senior executive in a top 500 company seemed impressive and made a lot of money, but how could it be as challenging as building a top 500 company by himself?
At that moment, he seemed to be rejuvenated and found a more challenging life goal.
Early the next morning, he politely refused that top 500 company. Under their regretful gazes, he took his resume and took the initiative to find Ding Qianlie. He stared at her beautiful face and said only one sentence, "I can join your new company, but I want the greatest authority."
Ding Qianlie smiled and reached out her hand. "As you wish. From now on, you are the CEO of Longteng Group, and I will give you the greatest autonomy."
Ding Qianlie didn't break her promise. She only made decisions on the general direction of the company's development and never asked about the specific work details, so he had the greatest autonomy.
This allowed him to display his talents like a fish in water, which was completely different from the feeling of being restrained when he was a senior executive in a Fortune 500 company. It could be said that he definitely contributed to the development of Longteng Group to its current scale.
But he didn't take credit for it. Instead, he was deeply grateful to Ding Qianlie. At his level, what he wanted was no longer money, but a stage for him to display his talents to the fullest.
And Ding Qianlie gave all of these to him without reservation. This was the kindness of knowing him. A gentleman would die for his bosom friend. It was nothing more than this.
To realize his dream, he took the group as his home and racked his brains. Seeing the group's business flourish, he was filled with a sense of achievement as if he was watching his child grow up.
But he didn't understand why Ding Qianlie was still unwilling to go public. He believed that if Ding Qianlie was willing to go public, its assets would instantly expand by hundreds or even thousands, and the goal of becoming one of the world's top 500 companies would be achieved.
But Ding Qianlie's strategic vision had never been wrong. Since she didn't intend to go public, she must have her own ideas. As a wise senior executive, he would never try to influence the strategic development direction of the chairman, which was an action beyond his power.
This time, although the preparation for the acquisition of Huayang Group was very hasty, he still did his homework overnight.
He just wanted to say "haha" to the so-called multinational group, Huayang Group. A medium-sized company like a family workshop with a market value of only a little more than one billion had set up several overseas branches with the same scale as offices and done some international trade with a transaction volume of only one million. How dare it call itself a multinational group? It was really ridiculous.
Huayang Group could only be a local government official in Wushi.
He was just a local government official. There were a lot of companies of this scale in Ninghai. When those company bosses saw him, they all bowed and begged him to give them some soup through the gaps between his fingers.
There was also Li Mingrui, who was known as a business genius. Feng Jie had also studied his business model, and his conclusion was: Bullsh * t.
As a local, he took the route of a high-level leader and occupied the right time, place, and people. As long as he was not a fool, he could make money.
If he were Li Mingrui, no, he didn't need to do it himself. Any of his elites with such convenient conditions could develop Huayang Group into a large group with assets of no less than ten billion in three years at most.
But what about Li Mingrui? It took him so long to make Huayang Group's market value barely over one billion. Such a mediocre person was praised as a business genius. Feng Jie was speechless.
If he hadn't seen a lot of outstanding business elites in Ninghai, he would have questioned whether there were any business talents in Shenzhou Country.
"This is Manager Feng, right? Hello, I was in a meeting just now, so I was delayed. Please forgive me for my negligence. "
Just as Feng Jie's mind was wandering, a passionate voice pulled him back to reality. He saw a dignified old man with grizzled sideburns walking toward him enthusiastically, surrounded by a group of leaders who seemed to be of high status and authority.
Feng Jie was slightly stunned and then felt flattered. He hurriedly walked up to him, stretched out his hands to hold Governor-General Cheng's hands, and shook them hard. "Governor-General Cheng, how dare I trouble you to personally come out to welcome me? You really make me scared."
When he went to various places to open branch offices, he had seen many local leaders who were high and mighty and talked like officials. A county leader regarded himself as a great big shot and was full of official power, which made him feel vexed.
Originally, he thought that even if things were better in Wushi, he would at most send a secretary or staff to take them in. He didn't expect that a dignified provincial governor, who was also a deputy state leader, would personally come to welcome them. How could he not be moved by this sincerity?
"You came from thousands of miles away to contribute to the construction of Qingjiang Province. As a provincial leader, I naturally have to personally welcome you. You must be freezing after waiting for so long. This is not a place to talk. Let's go to the office to talk in detail. Please."
Governor-General Cheng didn't put on any airs and made a gesture of invitation very amiably.
Governor-General Cheng said this to give him face. No matter how proud Feng Jie was, he didn't dare to walk in front. He hurriedly said modestly, "Governor-General Cheng, please."
"Hey, we're all on the same side. There's no need to be so polite. Come, let's go together."
Governor-General Cheng really gave Feng Jie a lot of face and insisted on walking shoulder to shoulder with Feng Jie. A group of leaders, who were at least at the department or bureau level or even deputy provincial level, followed behind them with a smile and greeted the business elites brought by Feng Jie, which really made them feel flattered.
He sighed in his heart. The leader of Qing Jiang Province was really approachable and didn't put on any airs.
Next, the two sides had a friendly discussion in the meeting room of the Provincial Supervisory Committee. Governor Cheng personally presided over the discussion and gave a detailed introduction of the current situation of Wu City.
Once they got into work mode, Feng Jie and the others immediately became like different people. They took out their notebooks and recorded attentively. Occasionally, they would raise their hands to ask about something they were not clear about, and the questions they asked were all straight to the point.
This made Governor-General Cheng sigh inwardly. This Manager Feng and his team introduced by Ding Ning were all elites. Their qualities were absolutely indisputable.
"Governor Cheng, I understand the basic situation now. That is to say, Huayang Group is planning to renovate the old city in Tianshan District, which is under the jurisdiction of Wu City. They are investing in the construction of a commercial street, building a county-level highway in Qilu County, and building a new highway in Gao County.
Is it a high-tech development zone in the new district? "
Feng Jie asked in a clear manner.
"That's right. Huayang Group and the municipal government have already reached an investment agreement and started construction on these three major projects. But now, because Li Maoyang is suspected of committing a crime and has been detained, Huayang Group is without a leader. The employees are worried about losing their jobs and are going on strike."
Governor-General Cheng didn't hide anything. He rubbed his temples and said.
Feng Jie thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Can I take a look at the agreement signed between Huayang Group and the government?"
"Of course, Governor-General Song. Do you have a copy of the agreement?"
Governor-General Cheng looked at Governor Song and asked. "Yes, Governor-General Cheng.
I'll ask someone to send it over. Xiao Chen, call Old Zhao and ask him to send the copy of the investment agreement in my office. "
Governor-General Song nodded hurriedly and turned to instruct his secretary.
He had now completely surrendered to Governor-General Cheng. If he hadn't come forward to expose Mayor Han and Director Gao and provided a lot of strong evidence to the ICAC, Governor Lu would probably have returned to preside over the work now.
Director Gao was a policeman. His anti-reconnaissance ability and psychological quality were extremely strong. Without conclusive evidence, he would never open his mouth even if he was beaten to death.
It was also because of the evidence that Governor-General Song had secretly collected that Director Gao had no choice but to open his mouth and confess the problem. In order to fight for leniency, he even brought up the dead Mayor Han.
Following this clue, they quickly found Lu Jie's mistress. Although there wasn't enough evidence to prove that Mayor Han's violation of the law was instigated by Lu Jie, the unknown source of Lu Jie's huge wealth had become an established fact. This gave the ICAC enough reason to detain him in Yanjing and slowly collect evidence.
"Okay, I'll call Old Zhao right now."
Secretary Chen, who wasn't qualified to sit at the conference table and could only sit on a chair in the corner, hurriedly stood up and left the conference room to call Governor-General Song's driver, Old Zhao.
"How much did Huayang Group invest in these three projects?"
While waiting, Feng Jie asked.
"The estimated investment is 270 million for the commercial street, 120 million for the county highway, and 330 million for the high-tech development zone. The total investment is 720 million."
Governor-General Cheng said with some pain.
Although it was indeed gratifying to arrest the father and son of the Li family, if Huayang Group went on strike, it would seriously affect the development plan of Wu City. This was also the reason why he put down his arrogance and took the initiative to welcome Feng Jie and the others.
"720 million? How long is the construction period? "
Feng Jie continued to ask with a serious expression.
"The construction period of the commercial street is three years, the county highway is half a year, and the high-tech development zone is two years."
Governor-General Cheng wasn't very clear about this, so he signaled Governor-General Song to answer. Governor-General Song was very clear about this and gave an accurate deadline.
Feng Jie's lips curled into a sneer and he shook his head speechlessly.
"What? Is there a problem? "
Governor-General Cheng's heart tightened, fearing that Feng Jie wouldn't be interested.
"Huayang Group's total market value is only a little more than one billion, and most of it is real estate. With the three projects starting at the same time, it would be strange if Huayang could come up with more than 700 million to invest in three years. The wool comes from the sheep's back. The father and son of the Li family are planning to play an empty-handed trick."
Feng Jie didn't hide anything and directly stated his deduction.
"It can't be? Huayang Group is a multinational company. "
