Reinventing the Millennium

Chapter 346 The Real Richest Man in Shanghai (Two in One)

There are still a few days before the New Year's Eve, and the work on Fang Zhuo's hands is all procedural and ceremonial matters.

——MIGA Fund settled in Pudong, and its office is on the 22nd floor of Jinmao. If the World Financial Center is built in the future and it still exists, the office address will be the 23rd floor there.

——Yike Group reported to the police in Pudong New Area, reporting that a batch of counterfeit Yike music players appeared on the market.

——Fang Zhuo will attend the annual meeting of the Shencheng City Federation of Industry and Commerce and become one of them.

——And he also wanted to visit Lao Qiu to wish him a happy new year.

On January 28, the twenty-fifth day, Fang Zhuo walked to the door carrying two boxes of tea.

Compared with Lin'an at the same time, Judi's home in Shencheng has been decorated with many gifts, and it is far from the deserted appearance it once was.

When Fang Zhuo arrived home, the district chief was still receiving guests who also came to visit.

"Mr. Fang, come here, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Liu Suyi from Yonghe Real Estate." Qiu Di was not shy about showing off his friendly relationship with Fang Zhuo and said with a smile, "Your tea is the best. It just so happens that I only have tea leaves left, so I’ll take them apart.”

Liu Suyi smiled and nodded in greeting, and was about to hand over his business card.

Fang Zhuo complained while unpacking the tea leaves: "How could there be a shortage of tea here? Who made the district chief a cadre?"

Judy laughed: "You can do it if I ask you to do it!"

Liu Suyi looked at this scene in surprise. He had heard that the CEO of Yike had an unusual background, but he did not expect to be able to talk like this.

"Mr. Liu, try the Maofeng from my hometown." Fang Zhuo exchanged business cards with Liu Suyi with a smile.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Liu Suyi looked about the same age as Lao Qiu, but he started making tea without being too eager.

"Mr. Fang, when will you move Sina to Pudong?" Qiu Di talked about something.

Fang Zhuo immediately shook his head and refused: "How is this possible? If Sina wants to publish news, it must be at the foot of the capital. However, half of the 22nd floor of Jinmao will be reserved as Sina's city office. There is a president's assistant team next to me who will also put it there. "

"I really admire Mr. Fang's ability to deal with many things every day and handle different companies well." Qiu Di said with a smile.

"Sina is mainly responsible for Wang Yan's great work ability. Sina is lucky to have a CEO who has always understood Sina's operations and has progressive ideas." Fang Zhuo was generous with his praise and did not attribute Sina's current prosperous situation to himself.

Liu Suyi next to him chatted a few words about Sina's stock price, half curious and half supportive.

"Mr. Liu, don't leave tonight. Have a meal at home." Judy said while waiting for the two people to chat.

"No, no, there are still customers in the company tonight. I will definitely come back to pay New Year greetings to the leaders after the new year." Liu Suyi stood up and said goodbye knowingly.

As expected, the district chief didn't try to persuade him to stay.

Fang Zhuo saw Liu Suyi out for the old leader and chatted at the door for a few more words before turning back.

He did not sit down this time. After walking around for two times, he asked in confusion: "Why are your orchids placed in a pot on the left and a pot on the right, and they are not aligned?"

"Oh, isn't this all a gift from you? There happened to be a boss who knew some kind of master, and he gave me some advice that day, saying that it was better this way." Judy looked back.

Fang Zhuo: "..."

Comrade Qiu! Stop! Do you have firm political beliefs?

He said feebly: "District Chief Qiu, this, this is not fun."

Judy wondered: "Didn't you give it as a gift? You don't believe this? You don't believe that you still gave so many? Eight pots!"

"I think orchids are in good condition and can purify the air at home." Fang Zhuo shook his head and sat down.

Judy was doubtful and said, "I really don't believe it. Let's leave it at that. I saw that the master was sweating all over the place last time."

Fang Zhuo suddenly felt a little unsure. If he could really see it, he might really sweat when he saw Lao Qiu's luck.

"You're going to attend the general chamber of commerce meeting in the city tomorrow, right?" Judy asked for a cup of tea.

"Participate. I think the president is a leader in the government. He called me personally. It's not easy to ignore." Fang Zhuo asked, "Is there anything special about this?"

"Shangcheng City General Chamber of Commerce, its members are all non-public enterprises, and they are used for united front work." Qiu Di thought for a moment, "There is nothing to pay attention to. For you, it is just more lines and more honors. You seem to be applying for I don’t have much time in the city.”

When Fang Zhuo came back from the capital, he decided to settle down in Shanghai due to several factors. He nodded and said: "I will have more jobs in Shanghai later, and those honors are not bad. They will just enhance my status as a social person."

Judy laughed again. Somehow, these words were particularly interesting coming from Fang Zhuo's mouth.

He understood the reason after thinking about it for a moment. This guy seemed to pay attention to keeping a certain distance from the administration in the past, and this was the easiest way to gain status.

Fang Zhuo lowered his head to drink tea and did not pay attention to the old leader's eyes. What he said was serious. He traveled from Yangcheng to Beijing some time ago and realized firsthand that things were not smooth enough.

This situation can obviously be effectively improved.

Moreover, Yike's headquarters is set in Shanghai, so it really needs some local influence.

"Have you been to Lao Zheng?" Judy asked something.

"I called Mayor Zheng to express my wish to wish him New Year's greetings. He declined, so I wished him New Year's greetings on the phone." Fang Zhuo replied.

Judy nodded and said vaguely: "Well, Lao Zheng is more careful than me."

He glanced at Fang Zhuo: "It just saves you a trip."

"Hey, old, old leader." Fang Zhuo almost shouted out the habitual name in his heart, "You can't always think of me like this, I respect all leaders."

"Since you call me old leader, let me tell you one more thing. I can be your introducer to this social figure." Judy asked, "Do you have any thoughts on joining the organization?"

This was obviously a private chat.

Fang Zhuo did not hesitate and said, "It is an honor for me to have an old leader as the introducer."

Judy nodded slightly and didn't say much about this topic. Instead, he turned to the young president's relationship issues in a casual manner, and smiled and said that he could still be such an introducer.

Because of Fang Zhuo's career and age, many people actually asked for this invitation after knowing that the two had a good relationship.

Fang Zhuo stood up and said, "District Chief Qiu doesn't want to part with just one dinner, why bother saying such intimidating words?"

Qiu Di couldn't laugh or cry: "President Fangda, sit down quickly. I want to let outside entrepreneurs know that I have neglected the presidents of Sina and Yike. Who dares to invest in Pudong?"

The two exchanged small insults and got along very naturally.

The dinner was quite sumptuous, and they talked and laughed about the development of Pudong, and occasionally talked about the international trends. Fang Zhuo was more confident than Qiu Di in this aspect.

The next day, Fang Zhuo attended the meeting of the Shencheng City Federation of Industry and Commerce, also known as the Shencheng City General Chamber of Commerce, which is a pan-civilian organization with tens of thousands of members.

He brought with him Liu Yangyang, the secretary of the medical department, and by the way, the son of Copper Pea, who had been squatting in the bureau all night, also came with him.

"Fan Yuanzhi, well, he looks so similar to Lao Fan. Why is his face still swollen?"

The person Fang Zhuo met at the gate of the community.

It's a good name, but why do people become so dejected?

"It said there was a conflict with the people inside." Liu Yangyang answered helpfully.

Fan Yuanzhi said with resentment: "It's not a conflict, it's them beating me. Mr. Fang, what's going on? Why is everything going so well..."

Fang Zhuo looked at Liu Yangyang with questioning eyes, and the latter shook his head slightly.

He immediately said: "I don't know, I'm still puzzled. Your father told me that you were clean. Why did you get arrested when you came back? I still had to say hello to you."

Fan Yuanzhi took a deep breath, vaguely suspecting that this scene was the work of the CEO in front of him. Otherwise, how could he be stopped and suspected of having something on him after he had already come out of the airport.

"I heard what your dad said about your situation. If you can work well in Yike, you can do it. If you can't, get out. Do you understand?" Fang Zhuo said simply and directly.

Fan Yuanzhi felt that this trip to China was very different from what he had imagined. He responded in a dull voice, feeling a little superior after returning from abroad.

"Get in the car first." Fang Zhuo asked Liu Yangyang softly after Fan Yuanzhi got in the car, "Why did you arrange for someone to beat him up?"

Liu Yangyang said innocently: "There is no arrangement, he doesn't know how he did it."

"You look very polite." Fang Zhuo commented on his first impression, "Did I make a mistake? You don't have any charlatanism?"

Liu Yangyang shrugged. Anyway, he was just following orders.

Fang Zhuo is not a person who dwells on the past. He looks forward and everything goes forward.

He got into the car. Liu Yangyang was driving today.

Along the way, Fang Zhuo briefly learned about Fan Yuanzhi's situation and found that it was indeed as good as Fan Xiong said, and the university was also a good one.

"As for your major, go to our company first and follow Mr. Sun Qi, who is in charge of the supply chain. He happens to be working overtime during the Spring Festival." Fang Zhuo said the arrangement.

Fan Yuanzhi sighed silently in his heart, feeling that he was really miserable. If his father hadn't forced him to come here... I don't know what kind of ecstasy drug he had been fed, he would have really suffered.

Soon, the Audi arrived at the venue for the annual meeting of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce. Fang Zhuo and his party entered the venue. Apart from his swollen face, Fan Yuanzhi really looked like an assistant.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, what a coincidence."

As soon as he entered the conference room, Yonghe Real Estate CEO Liu Suyi, who he met at the leader's home yesterday, saw President Yike with sharp eyes and came up to say hello.

"Ah, Mr. Liu, this is not a coincidence, this is fate." Fang Zhuo smiled and shook hands.

Liu Suyi smiled and said: "Yes, it's fate, Mr. Fang, let's sit here."

"They seemed to have prepared a seat for me, but I didn't ask clearly." Fang Zhuo glanced at the conference room to see if there were any staff.

Liu Suyi was stunned: "Is it in front? There is a sign over there."

"Come on, let's take a look forward. Sitting in the front will make it easier for me to speak on stage." Fang Zhuo wanted to walk forward arm in arm with the real estate boss.

Liu Suyi took two steps before he smiled and said: "Then I can't sit with Mr. Fang today, so I will listen carefully and learn Mr. Fang's views in the audience."

Fang Zhuo was not surprised and exchanged a few pleasantries before leading the two of them forward.

Sure enough, there were name tags in the second row.

"Then you two sit back a little." Fang Zhuo saw that only the first three rows had names, and there were no signs on the seats behind.

"Okay, Mr. Fang." Liu Yangyang guessed that he didn't have anything to do in today's meeting, which was to get to know senior executives from other companies.

Fan Yuanzhi still nodded silently, but the swelling and pain on his face was ignored because he saw so many suits and ties. He could tell Fang Zhuo's status from this seating arrangement.

Moreover, the people who have sat down in the first three rows are basically in their thirties and forties, and there are also some in their fifties and sixties. The contrast is quite sharp.

"Sister Yang, does Mr. Fang have any duties here?" He asked after sitting down and looking at the figure in front of him.

"The boss is here for the first time. I guess he can be elected as a vice president after the new year." Liu Yangyang answered calmly.

Fan Yuanzhi asked again: "What does this Chamber of Commerce do?"

Liu Yangyang thought for a while and said: "Aren't you the Anliang Chamber of Commerce? The Anliang Chamber of Commerce is in New York. In terms of influence, it should be similar to the United Chamber of Commerce in New York State."

Fan Yuanzhi had a general idea and had a better understanding of the "capable Mr. Fang" in his father's mouth.

However, he couldn't help but ask after a while: "Sister Yang, to be honest, was it Mr. Fang's intention that I was locked up last night?"

Liu Yangyang said disdainfully: "What's the benefit of locking you up? Is it necessary for the boss? It's almost the same as locking up your father."

Fan Yuanzhi: "..."

He felt that it made sense. Why would he lock up a clean student like himself when he had nothing to do.

The conference hall was bustling with people.

Soon, the meeting officially began. The president and vice president came to the stage to give speeches, both blessing the New Year and the outlook for industry and commerce in 2003.

Both of them hold positions in the government and belong to the system.

Fang Zhuo was the fifth guest to speak on stage.

However, his appearance made many people sigh about their age.

"Hello, everyone. Many people may not know me, but some friends know me. They may mention Sina, Yike, and Guahao.com, and everyone can match me better."

"Oh, yes, I am also in charge of MIGA private equity funds. Friends who want asset management can ask about its performance, which is quite attractive."

Fang Zhuo did not forget to advertise the fund that had just landed in Pudong. Today, the people present are really in the vertical field and generally have money.

"I am very happy to meet our friends in Shanghai's industry and commerce before the New Year. Shanghai is one of the most dynamic cities in our domestic economic development. The fact that everyone can meet here means that there is a great possibility that their companies and assets will be taken to a higher level in the future."

"What is now presented to everyone here is a vast market, a market where you can bend down and pick up gold with hard work."

"The times are opening their arms to us."

Fang Zhuo stood on the stage and talked freely, showing a positive and confident attitude.

However, apart from the slight spread of the news about the MIGA Fund, his slogan-like speech did not make the guests feel too much, but felt that it was a bit unworthy of the name.

Of course, the president and vice president liked this attitude very much.

However, just one day later, with a piece of news, Fang Zhuo, president of Yike, made a much more authoritative speech at the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce on January 29.

"President Fang is very young, very capable, and a business genius."

"I talked to President Fang for a long time, and he was really insightful."

"President Fang took my business card. He is a good person. He was very sincere when he spoke on stage. I was excited when I sat in the audience."

Many guests talked about this meeting with friends and family during the Chinese New Year and had similar statements.

Because Hurun chose January 30, the 29th day of the lunar year, to announce the Forbes 2002 China Rich List.

Fang Zhuo, the richest man in Shanghai deserves it!
