We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 248: Going North to Invest in a Heavenly Group
In early August, the whole world was reporting on the craze for a small pill, and all the hot spots were captured by this small pill.

Even if Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb made a lot of preparations and stockpiled a large amount of drugs before the official sale, it could not stop the madness of men and women around the world.

In particular, the explosive sales in Europe and Asia have accelerated the bottoming out of Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb's inventory. Distributors in the island country alone have ordered 10 million boxes, which is the first batch.

In order to meet market demand and supply, nearly half of Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb's production lines have been adjusted to produce small blue drugs.

This is the production line of three pharmaceutical companies. It is not difficult to see the strong demand.

Moreover, due to the adjustment of the production line, Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb's other pharmaceutical production has also experienced supply shortages. This made the president of Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb curse the efficiency of the production line manufacturers. The five newly ordered latest pharmaceutical production lines have not yet been delivered. He had a toothache.

I just don't know if his toothache is because he is angry or because he can't make enough money.

This is not the big deal. What really makes Pfizer shareholders happy is the stock market.

With the rise of the little blue drug, the market value of Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb increased by 53% in less than half a month, with the total market value reaching US$178 billion, heading straight towards US$200 billion.

This also makes Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb the only company in the non-technology manufacturing and petroleum fields among the top 20 companies in the world by market value.

It is precisely because of the power of the little blue medicine that Chris helped Watsons acquire 10% of Coca-Cola's shares from DuPont without attracting much attention.

……

Chancheng, Guangdong Province, this is the first time Huang Xizhao and Zhouliang Shuyi have come to Rabbit.

They came with the inspection team going north, but as soon as they entered Pengcheng, they separated from the large army and came to Chancheng accompanied by the local officials.

Cao Daheng and Huo Daheng jointly initiated this investment delegation trip to the north. As soon as they decided to make the decision, they called Luo Niazhong to invite him, and Luo Nianzhong also happily agreed!
But what the two of them didn't expect was that Luo Nianzhong not only agreed, but also organized a huge business team.

Basically, all the CEOs of the Far Eastern Group's companies that could develop in the north were brought here. It can be said that it was an outpouring of force from the Far Eastern Group.

It is precisely because of Luo Nianzhong's attitude that the Hong Kong media paid special attention to this trip north.

The Iron Lady is coming in two months. At this time, these Chinese-funded entrepreneurs going north can explain a lot of problems.

Luo Nianzhong, in particular, had just helped the British Hong Kong government stabilize the economy of Hong Kong Island, and then headed north with an investment group.

Some people on Hong Kong Island say that he is two-faced, but more of them interpret it as the policy of not participating in political governance that the Far East Group has been promoting.

As soon as Luohu Port came in, the Far Eastern Department separated.

Some of them have specific goals in advance, and some are conducting inspections based on some information they learned in advance to see if there is any possibility of cooperation.

The most valued ones here are Watsons, Honor Technology and Asia Media.

Needless to say, Watsons came here to find locations for various factories such as food processing factories and beverage factories, and there were not just one but two factories, but multiple ones.

In addition, there is the Chinese herbal medicine business. As more and more Watsons herbal series products are developed, the raw materials used also increase.

This time Li Xiang brought a large number of people with the purpose of inspecting the traditional Chinese medicine market and wanted to conduct a systematic review.

Although Puning, the hometown of my boss, has started the construction of a Chinese herbal medicine trading center, it is the policy of the Far East Department to not hang raw materials from a tree. Are you prepared?

Asia Media is a film and television base project.

Hong Kong Island is too small, and a giant film and television base is simply impossible to realize.

Luo Nianzhong’s idea was to build a film and television city that would be far larger than Hengdian, so he chose Zen City.

There are two reasons for choosing Chancheng. One is that it is the core of Guangfu culture and is also known as the hometown of martial arts, pottery, and Cantonese opera. It has a very strong cultural heritage.

Another thing is that this is within the Greater Bay Area, very close to Hong Kong Island and the Pearl River.

Not only is it convenient for actors to film, it is also convenient for tourists from both places and tourists to travel here. We can even launch a one-day or two-day trip from Hong Kong Island to Chancheng.

Although Hengdian is good, Luo Nianzhong can also get relevant policies, but it is not in line with Luo Nianzhong's strategy of revitalizing Hong Kong, and it is too far from Hong Kong Island.

What Guangdong Province values ​​most is Honor Technology, and this visit is to find new supply chain manufacturers for its huge product demand.

Don't put your eggs in one basket. This is the rule set by Luo Nianzhong from the beginning.

There must be at least three manufacturers for each part, and the proportion of each supplier cannot exceed 50% of the total, and priority should be given to the production of Honor parts.

This ensures that no matter where a problem occurs in the supply chain, the other two or more companies can make up for it in time.

The manufacturer that has a problem must make a written report to Honor. If the problem is caused by force majeure, Honor will continue to use the company's products.

It is the same no matter which company is in the world. This is also known as Honor Technology’s overlord clause, which leads many companies to give priority to the production of Honor parts when orders surge.

It’s not that European and American companies have expressed dissatisfaction. Liang Jiadong’s solution is to terminate the contract and find a new manufacturer. His main focus is to be tough.

The dissatisfied companies not only lost huge orders from Honor, but also had many orders that came for the reputation of Honor accessories factory to be canceled one after another.

The situation is stronger than the people. After the precedent was established, other companies no longer complained and started to do things with their tails between their legs. After this incident was exposed, the term "honor clause" appeared.

But companies in these industry chains are not without benefits, because the upgrading of products prompts many parts to also need to be upgraded.

Many times Honor will give these companies a direction according to its own requirements, and sometimes even provide technical and financial support. It is no wonder that the industry wants to get involved in Honor's supply chain system.

You must know that many of Honor's parts are specially designed. Many peers who follow the trend can't find the same model parts in other parts factories and can only place orders with Honor suppliers.

Funds, technology upgrades, and orders are all what Guangdong Province needs, so Honor Technology is the one most valued by the government in this investment group. Basically, the top leaders of the relevant major departments in Guangdong Province are on the Honor Technology inspection team.

Back to Huang Xizhao and Zhouliang Shuyi, accompanied by the local officials, the two began to inspect various places in Chancheng.

In order for this investment to be settled, the people in the government responded to all requests and answered all questions.

But while they were paving the way in front, things were blowing up behind them.

As soon as they heard that this was a super-large project worth more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, the governments of Nanhai and Shunde rushed to the front line and almost started a quarrel in front of the prefect of Chancheng.

It’s a shame that both parties still know how to avoid Hong Kong businessmen, otherwise it would be very embarrassing.

After lunch, Huang Xizhao and Zhou Liangshuyi, who had been walking around all morning, went back to their rooms to rest. In the afternoon, they had to hold a discussion meeting to study whether the places they visited in the morning were suitable.

The two of them had rested, and the government was busy.

"Why should all the good things come from you in Shunde? If Hong Kong businessmen donate money to build roads, you should be the first to do it; if you invest in and build factories, you should be the first to build them.

Why, our Nanhai District is a stepmother? "

"Old Huang, I'm not talking about you. What do you mean by putting us first? It's our patriotic businessmen who went out from Shunde who came back to invest in their hometown.

What does this have to do with us? Now that we are building a film and television base, what is wrong with our fair competition? "

"There is no problem with fair competition. What do you mean by mentioning the names of so many Hong Kong businessmen?
Yes, Shark Dantong, Uncle Li is from Shunde, but they can't be the masters of Asian media yet.

Let me tell you Hou Degui, what you said about settling a film and television base to attract them to increase investment and make Shunde's infrastructure development better is not your decision."

"Yes, Lao Huang, so what are you afraid of?" Seeing that Lao Huang was so angry, Lao Hou showed an approachable and peaceful look, completely gone from the hard-working look he had just shown in front of Huang Xizhao and others.
"Also, they say that you have delicious food and cultural heritage, as if we don't have these in the South China Sea."

"Old Huang, I'm not talking about you. Times have changed. You have to learn to show your strengths to better attract investment."

The two of them can be said to be representatives of the old and new officials of this era. Some have kept up with the new era and tried their best to show their advantages. However, it is obvious that they are not very adaptable to this situation.

"Okay, we can't say the specifics. It's up to others to decide where to invest.

You still have things to deal with on your own one-third of an acre of land, so you don’t have to follow me later.”

Seeing the two people arguing, the prefect of Chancheng stopped the dispute directly.

For him, it doesn't matter where he chooses, the meat will rot in the pot anyway.

If these two guys scare away the investment, this is absolutely unacceptable to him, so it’s better not to go there later. In one sentence, they were immediately driven back.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, people from Asia Media borrowed the conference room of the guest house to discuss the location of the film and television city.

After everyone sat down, Huang Xizhao sat in the upper position and said, "Let's talk about it. What do you think? Do we need to go to other cities to have a look?"

After everyone looked at each other, a man on Huang Xizhao's right coughed lightly when he saw that no one was speaking, "Let me talk first."

“First of all, I want to say that I don’t think we need to go to other cities. Chancheng is a good place with a long history and a very optimistic prospect for tourism development, which is complementary to our project.

As for location choice? Definitely choose one of the two places, Nanhai and Shunde."

After the man finished speaking, he glanced at Huang Xizhao and continued after seeing that he still looked like an old god.

"Of these two places, I prefer Shunde."

"What's the reason?" Huang Xizhao finally spoke after seeing that he chose Shunde.

"That leader Hou was right. Shunde's infrastructure is indeed better, which will be of great help to tourism development, which is one of the main profits of our project.

Another point is that the leader is not conservative, which is very helpful for our future planning.

The last point is that I am optimistic about the development speed of Shunde in Chancheng. There are many big Hong Kong businessmen from Shunde. With the implementation of our film and television base project, we will definitely attract many Shunde Hong Kong businessmen to come back and invest.

Whether it’s hotels or other supporting facilities, Shunde’s development potential is greater than that of Nanhai.”

Huang Xizhao nodded without comment.

"Mr. Chen has finished speaking. Does anyone else have any ideas?"

Mr. Chen is the man who just expressed his opinion. He is the newly promoted vice president of Asia Media. He is in charge of administrative matters.

"I have a somewhat different view."

The speaker was none other than Shu-Yi Chow, who is called the female media boss in Hong Kong.

"First of all, I agree with what Vice President Chen just said. Chancheng is very suitable for our project to be located, but in terms of the specific location, I prefer Nanhai."

"Oh? Why?" Huang Xizhao looked at Zhou Liang Shuyi with interest.

"Because Shunde has no worries about development."

"How to say?"

In the opinion of Vice President Chen, the speed of development and construction in Shunde is an advantage in choosing this place, but in the eyes of Zhou Liangshuyi, this location was lost because of these passes.

This made Huang Xizhao full of curiosity, hoping that this vice president who always had some whimsical ideas could bring him some new ideas. Even Vice President Chen looked attentive.

"What is the construction plan of our film and television base?"

Faced with Zhou Liang Shuyi's problem, everyone present was of course aware of it.

"The plan will be completed in three phases and last ten years. It will cover famous buildings from the Qin Dynasty to the Republic of China and various park street scenes and natural scenic spots. The total area is estimated to be 55 square kilometers."

After hearing someone's answer, Shuyi Zhou smiled and said, "This is why I chose Nanhai."

"Construction time?" Vice President Chen was very smart and immediately understood what Zhouliang Shuyi wanted to express.

"Yes, as you said, Shunde will develop very fast because it is the hometown of many Hong Kong businessmen, so it is impossible to take care of us in many things.

You must know that this is not just a film and television base. We will cooperate with Far East Properties and major hotel groups to build hotels and buildings in the surrounding area.

Just like the Lantau Island project, we can regard the film and television base as part of this super project. Who can guarantee that other landscapes will not be built in the future?

But it may be difficult for Shunde to satisfy us on this point, but Nanhai can.

We can negotiate with the government at the early stage to retain the surrounding land and ask for our priority rights within fifteen years.

This can be done in the South China Sea, where many places are desolate, but not in Shunde.

As for the infrastructure construction that Vice President Chen mentioned, when we completely complete all projects and open them to the outside world, I think this will no longer be a problem, and it may not take that long.

Don't forget that Luo Sheng said that it will take at least ten years for rabbit tourism to start to take off.

This also means that in the early stage, our film and television base and surrounding areas will mostly serve actors and crews rather than tourists, and the pressure on infrastructure construction will not be too great."

Looking at the overall situation, Vice President Chen himself admits that he is not as good as Zhou Liang Shuyi at this point.

Although there is a competitive relationship between him and Shuyi Zhou, the relationship between the two is pretty good.

Huang Xizhao will retire in three or four years, and the successor is basically chosen between the two, because it has always been the tradition of the Far East Group to internally select people who are more familiar with the environment and business, provided they have sufficient ability.

Both of them have no problem with their abilities, but Vice President Chen is self-aware.

My position was brought in by an external hire, and in the Asian media, I was inferior to Shuyi Zhou in terms of qualifications and connections.

Not to mention his contribution to the group, so the person who takes over from Huang Xizhao is basically Zhou Liang Shuyi.

Without competition, there is naturally no need to fight to the death.

Moreover, Vice President Chen will not have the idea of ​​​​being a good person and a good person. The whole company knows that Zhou Liang Shuyi has the idea of ​​​​taking a positive position. She herself has said that she will leave her job before she is fifty years old, so Vice President Chen can afford it.

"I agree".

Vice President Chen was very capable of taking things up and letting them go, and was the first to vote in favor after Zhou Liangshuyi considered it more comprehensively.

Now that Vice President Chen agrees, the others have nothing to say.

Originally, it was the three of them who could play a decisive role in this meeting. Now that Huang Xizhao is clearly delegating power and the other two have reached an agreement, what else is there to say?

"Okay, that's settled." Huang Xizhao made the final decision.

“This is our first big project in Asia Media, and it is such a big project. I hope everyone and the department will work hard.

If I can retire at the completion ceremony of the first phase, I will have no regrets in my life."

"Look what you always said, what, if you retire, you will no longer be a member of Asia Media? Can't you come back to see me?"

In fact, Zhou Liang Shuyi was quite dissatisfied with Huang Xizhao at the beginning, especially after he became her immediate boss.

But later, Huang Xizhao managed the entire Asia Media Group in an orderly manner. Especially after he was promoted to the group's vice president and exposed to more business, he admired Huang Xizhao even more.

Only when you really sit in that position will you understand that it is really not easy to manage a group. The companies below have to take care of you, and you have to sing along with them.

The most important thing is to make the people under you convinced of your decision-making, and it is important to make everyone feel that you have evened out the bowl of water.

It is precisely because of this, as well as Huang Xizhao's usual teachings, that Zhou Liang Shuyi now admires and is impressed by Huang Xizhao.

"Okay, remember what you said. After the entire project is completed, you must bring me to see it, otherwise I will scold you even in bed."

"I think you wake up laughing from your dreams, right? Such a big project is not even as good as those big studios in Hollywood. It can be said to be the only one in the world.

This project can be started in your hands, and it will be remembered in the history of film and television."

"Hahahaha" Huang Xizhao laughed heartily as if his heart had been told.

"Not to mention, I really never thought that I, Huang Xizhao, would have such a glorious moment. I always feel like a beggar becoming an emperor."

Huang Xizhao's self-mockery made everyone in the room laugh.
