Chapter 251 Building a City 3
After entering mid-to-late March, the number of visitors to Fairy City has increased significantly. Walking on Fairy Avenue, you will see armed police with live ammunition everywhere, like enemies. It is reported that more than 5,000 armed police officers and soldiers have stationed in Fairy City, accounting for almost 5% of the permanent residents in the city. It is the most sight seen by guests who come to Fairy City! Another important phenomenon is that there are a lot of journalists. If you pay a little attention, you will find that these reporters speak Mandarin with a variety of local accents. If you are more careful, you will find that you can see journalists and photographers from almost all well-known newspapers around the world. No one knows that there is a total. How many reporters have come to the city, but the statistical hotels in the city know how many reporters and colleagues with low accommodation requirements they have received, although hotels above three stars have only received no more than 35 guests who seem to be reporters! In the comments around the world, it is said that there is one thing that is very consistent, that is, "the cost of accommodation is surprisingly high", which makes many reporters who originally planned to stay in high-end hotels flee in a hurry and constantly complain about this "inhuman treatment". Of course, not everyone encounters this embarrassment, because they do not check in at all. Opportunity! People don't know how many journalists have been entertained, but Xixing Company, which controls all the high-end hotels, knows how many "noble guests" it has received. Fairy City is not big and the population mobility is not high. However, this time, all the high-end hotels are full, and it is said that more than 2,500 rooms are not enough, although However, in order to entertain some friends, they did not let them stay in the hotel. Although they deliberately increased the room rate by five times in order to take care of noble guests, they scared away some people's intention to move in! According to the follow-up and unannounced interview of a good reporter, a "precious guest" went to three hotels in a row, and finally went to a private hotel. Unfortunately, the store owner was unmoved by the huge amount of room money and insisted that he could only stay for four guests and could not accommodate six people. However, in the end, he said that he could give up his room. Come out, the room is bigger and can accommodate two people! Although Fairy City was initially built, it finally withstood the test. There were a total of 10 high-end hotels, which barely let the vast majority of distinguished guests stay, and the armed police who protected the whole city did not let any disturbance occur. Of course, it was the builders of the city who finally withstood the test, who took over from all directions. The guest's "congratulations" and expressed "deep gratitude" to everyone's support!
"The whole world has set its sights on China, and the whole China has set its sights on the fairy city in the heart; the fairy city brings together global economic elites and almost all families that have a significant influence on society (China), and staged a farce in modern history," the world commentary said!
Fairy City is indeed staged a farce. The owner of the fairy city of this farce, the Li family, the owner of China's largest private consortium, as landlords, received visitors from all over the world and presided over the fifth anniversary celebration; while the other side is the guests of "worship" and, of course, they are also guests of the Li. Some people are her friends, some are partners, and some are competitors. There are not many members of the Li family who attended the celebration, far from the scale that people imagined, and even far beyond people's expectations, because many people who should have appeared have disappeared. Specifically, there are few important people attending the meeting, including Li Mengze and his wife, as well as Li Yudong and Xu Peng. These are five older generation of business managers. Among the young people, there are the eldest son Renkang and his wife, the second son Yikang couple, as well as Wenkang couple, Xiukang couple, Guokang couple, Zikang couple and young son Shikang couple. Many important people did not attend. At the same time, as an important part of Li's two major industries, they also sent important personnel to attend the meeting. Wen Shaozhong and his wife, who are the general manager of the biotechnology company, Zhou Ruquan and his wife, the general manager of the energy company, Wang Yifei and his wife, the general manager of the food company, Liu Siyuan, the general manager of the basic parts company, and Xian The woman and Mr. Chen Jianqiu, president of Xixing Union Bank, and the deputy general manager of Electronics and Xixing Trading Company were also present. Relying on their huge industrial strength, Li Shi sent more than a dozen industrial power figures.
This is almost the strongest lineup that can be sent out, but they know the seriousness of the situation. There are so many sincere friends. Although they provide free housing for many distinguished guests, in addition to limited friends such as the Spike family, with the Li family Many people will choose to stand by and watch or even be hostile to the decline and weakness, and the current patriarch Matt · Kai· Spike personally leads important members of the family to the Fairy City to illustrate this point! Perhaps, the Henan provincial government can also borrow from each other. If the fairies are prosperous, they will be prosperous. If the fairies decline, they will not be prosperous. However, there is nothing absolutely political. Even the Indian government can't fully cooperate, and even the senior officials with good relations of the central government can't fully trust. Who can they trust? A company that has helped before? But Yulong Electronics, Parkson Group, Baiyun Machinery... Can these companies be trusted? Maybe those international opponents are trustworthy. Li's defeat is more beneficial to them, but after all, the competition in the national inverted market is relatively simple, far less complicated than domestic! Perhaps, Brazil's American Aircraft Company is trustworthy. After all, Donglin Military Industry has been providing them with the "most suitable" electronic equipment... Perhaps, only they are trustworthy. After all, these industries are completely the Li family's own... Although the hospitality lineup is very large, it is small compared with those guests. Not to say, more than 400 invitees, especially the business people with a huge lineup (although there are only more than 340), actually more than 2,000, and more than 1,700 people came in China alone, shouting that it's not scary!
This is the first big gathering since the establishment of the "New SI Big Bank", and it is also one of the rare wonders in the world for many years. It is undeniable that the financial resources of the four major banks (groups) are amazing, and the incompatibility with each other is not news for a day or two, especially between the New Yunlong Bank Group and Li's Bank, which is the focus of the focus. This makes people full of interest in this "party"!
Whether people are willing to admit it or not, although Li Mengze has retired for ten years, he still has a strong influence; although he has already withdrawn from the management of the fairy, he has also passed the age of Huajia, although the family's social prestige is not as good as before... Therefore, when he appears a little shabby In the Central Great Hall, all the noisy voices stopped. This kind of power can't be possessed by anyone. People can ignore Li Yikang, the general manager of the fairy headquarters who came to the venue earlier, can ignore Liu Huifeng, the general manager of Xixing, can falsely deal with other young heroes of the Li family, and can give advice to the heads of the subsidiaries of fairy and Xixing, but there is no A person doesn't pay attention to Li Mengze, a legendary figure of the belated generation. People can't ignore him, and they can't pay attention to the other four old people who accompanied him!
Li Mengze and others came late, and a group of five elderly people finally came to the venue. At this time, whether they were officials, businessmen, or media reporters; whether they were old people, middle-aged people, or young people; whether they were doing, standing, or walking around; whether they were meditating alone. Yes, they were still talking to each other, and no matter what mood they were in, they stopped the ongoing activities in an instant. They all looked at the party, and almost everyone stood up! Maybe many people have malice towards fairies, maybe many people have opinions about the Li family, maybe some people have different opinions about him, but it is undeniable that he is a great business genius! From a poor man to hundreds of billions of yuan of private capital, from an investment company to today's miraculously avoiding the economic crisis, and then becoming the world's top consortium with two major industries and more than a dozen trillion assets. After 35 years of short business life, both opponents and friends have to be respected from the bottom of their hearts. Even if the Li family fails one day, the world's business history will evaluate this industry legend with irrefutable affirmation! For some people, Li Mengze is no longer a simple existence. He is a business, a business full of vitality. Respect is the mentality that every businessman should have!
"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, welcome to Fairy City. Welcome to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Fairy City together." Li Mengze had no choice but to make a public speech again. Although the previous applause made him a little happy, after all, he hadn't heard such a beautiful melody for a long time, but he was still not very interested in the speech, because he was talking against his will. Of course, he knows very well that there are many people in the venue who curse him, and he is not interested in them. Although he is 70 years old, the idea of "protecting his shortcomings" is more serious, and he is very disgusted with those who want to destroy his peaceful life! Here, on behalf of Mr. Li, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone for their support. The construction of Fairy City is inseparable from the support of the central government and closely related to the support of the provincial government. Here, on behalf of Mr. Li, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the government and to all the guests of the government for coming! The city is supported by the government, funded by fairies, and built by Xixing. It is an industrial city that we plan to build to serve the whole Li industry. Fairy City is a city in China. The Li family is willing to do their best for China's economic development and the world's economic development. In the future, we will continue to cooperate with our partners with Fairy City as its headquarters to make common benefits for both sides. Of course, we will also use this as a base to meet competition from all parties! Fairy and Xixing are commercial companies, and Li is a natural person in society. We will cooperate with all friends or partners who are willing to cooperate on their basis, and will compete with all friends, partners or competitors who are willing to compete on their basis!"
The venue soon calmed down. As the de facto highest person in charge and the most influential person of the Li family, Li Mengze set the tone of the venue and did not hesitate to talk about the discordant factors in the venue. Although this sounded unpleasant, everyone present was an elite, and naturally understood what others were thinking. Speaking of which, this is also inevitable. It is originally a competitor. Do you still want to be treated warmly? That family is famous for not being hypocritical and has been "merciless" for a long time. Then why do they have to be pretentious? So the whole venue soon became lively again, and many people no longer hide their facial expressions. ... "When people are old, it is easy to be nostalgic. The past is the same as before. To be remembered, things have gone wrong! Fortunately, a lot of old friends came today. Previously, we had few friends. If they were old peers, they must be competitors. Previously, we seldom looked at each other. Today, we can see that everyone is fine and is still fighting on the front line of the mall. On behalf of our five old guys, I would like to pay tribute to you. You are in the mall. Only the field can be done in a standard way! Dear young business friends, whether it is our partners or competitors, with you, the market will be dynamic and better developed. The future market development depends on you. I believe you will do better than us! I'm old and useless, but don't despise Li. We have a lot of talents, and there are more talents from fairies and Xixing. You came here today not to listen to me, a useless guy. If you have anything, you can do it later! Now, please invite Comrade Li Fangning, Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, to make a speech!"
Li Mengze has formulated a standard for the whole conference. Everyone gathered in Fairy City, and naturally they have made a difference. Except for a few sincere blessings, the vast majority of them came for a certain intention. Even government people are not just supporting them. At this point, who do they compare with? I understand. For example, Chen Jinxin, Vice Minister of G Security, Li Mengze knows better than anyone that they have no friendship with this person. As for a few people in the military, to be honest, everyone in the fairy headquarters knows that they are definitely not here to support it. In recent years, the proportion of military purchases in Donglin has been declining, which is already an open matter. It's not that there is no love, but the security period has long passed. With the gain of the air force, especially the withdrawal of their talented soldiers from the air force, the status in the military continues to decline, and it is not even impossible to completely separate from the relationship one day! At least some insiders know that in the next round of military procurement, Li's share will continue to decline. The so-called balanced procurement is only in the direction of "get rid of fairies"! Even some people in the provincial government are not purely here to support it. Li is very powerful, but the fairy city is a big industry. This industry can't satisfy her appetite at all. The fairy is coming, but it's just an empty shell, and a large number of industries have not moved over. People's desires are endless. The company's recent investment is too little, and less investment in provincial industries. The provincial government wants to develop the economy. This time, it just provides them with a platform to attract investment! Look at the group of people brought by Chen Minghai. They are all the heads of departments of various industrial departments. Maybe the provincial government is also very clear that the people who come to Fairy City this time are very promising people. Whether they are fairy partners or competitors, their strength is very strong. Of course, if there is no strength, You can't be a fairy's partner, let alone a competitor. Domestic visitors are all bigwigs, and international visitors are some industry giants. They are among the top few in the industry, and the worst is not to fall below the top seven. If you can attract a few, it will be many benefits! For the guests at the meeting, this is not only an opportunity to see someone's true face, but also a good opportunity for communication and cooperation. As the saying goes, the opponent's opponent is their own partner, and the enemy's enemy is a friend. Now there is a face-to-face opportunity. Although the short meeting does not confirm each other's cooperation, Almost all cooperation is a decision formed at a certain moment! The identity of these participants is too important and too shrewd. How can we let go of this opportunity? We can't brush away the "beauty" of the host. Is it necessary to waste those sky-high accommodation expenses?
Matt Kai; Spike and his party were also in the venue. Their seats were in the VIP seat, and they were specially accompanied by someone. Renkang and Matt had known each other for a long time, and this was also the only guest of Li's personal escort. As the current patriarch of the Spike family, Matt is certainly not an ordinary person. Although he is not very clear about Li's situation, he soon understands it. As a real friend, he can't help worrying!
"Renkang, don't you think it's strange?" Matt is slightly older than Renkang. In Europe, they often call each other's names.
"Matt, do you mean this scene?" Renkang understands what the other party means. In fact, Matt can understand Chinese and speaks it quite fluently, but he still answers in German. After studying in Germany for many years, his German is naturally not a problem. "This is not what we can stop. Can we not receive it if they want to come?"
"But doing this is very bad for you," Matt said very directly. "The opponent is too strong. The people are coming, Matsumoto is also coming, Shika and Yamazaki are coming, almost... almost all major technology companies are here. Isn't this providing them with cooperation opportunities? This is too dangerous!" Matt naturally knows the weight of these guests, that is, there are many economic people from Germany, and even the large companies representing China are mostly very famous in the world, and their opponents are too strong.
"Matt, there is an old Chinese saying that what should come will come, and it can't be stopped. If they want to contact, there's nothing we can do." Renkang said with a wry smile that he didn't want to see this scene. Although he did not participate in the management of the company, the company's affairs were actually family affairs. "Fairies are not easy to mess with!"
