Chapter 278 Visiting the Old Leader
Chapter 278 Visiting the Old Leader
This kind of bulk material trading is very profitable.
Although they are all young, their families are all in business, and they have often heard their family members mention that there is a lot of money to be made in this business.
Kids like these who are around 20 years old are the easiest to fool. They all want to show some achievements in front of their parents. Chen Xi just says a few words and they all get excited.
When getting a project, you will definitely go through a bidding process.
Let them go back and tell their families about this. If those who are willing to cooperate can successfully get the project, Chen Xi will also give some money to those who have successfully made the connection.
Not only these, there are also many highly profitable businesses, such as waste recycling.
This may sound a bit unpresentable at first, but it is actually very profitable.
There used to be an inconspicuous rickshaw driver in Xinlu City. He took advantage of this major transformation opportunity to integrate the waste recyclers in a certain area of the city center.
He made 30 million just from one area in the city center. It goes without saying how big Xinlu is and how lucrative it is.
However, this job is not so easy to do. You can't just collect those waste products whenever you want. There are still a lot of people who need to be managed.
The first area to be demolished was Huanghe Street, the core area of the city center. This was the earliest commercial street in the old city, with an extremely advantageous geographical location, and every inch of land was worth a lot of money.
On the commercial street of Xinlu City, it is second only to the first. Chen Xi's family has a house and a shop here, and there will definitely be a generous compensation when the time comes.
During the slum reconstruction process, some stores that had been doing good business and were not included in the demolition project have been unable to do business due to the impact of construction.
Nine out of ten businessmen have to take out loans. Their daily income is not enough to cover employee salaries and utilities, so they have to sell their shops one after another.
However, after the major renovation, these places have become prime shops, and the annual rents are extremely high.
He was prepared to buy them at a low price from those bosses who were in urgent need of money.
"Brother Xi, you are abroad, why are you still doing these things in China?" Yin Anwei asked with some confusion.
"I will have to return to my country sooner or later. How can I not start my own business?"
Chen Xi replied calmly.
Hearing his words, the others nodded in agreement.
They all knew that Chen Xi did not have a good relationship with his father.
The most important thing is to have money in your hands.
These people usually ask their families for money and have to listen to their parents' opinions. In fact, they all hope to make money independently.
Tonight's meal lasted a long time, during which Chen Xi kept observing which of these people were suitable for doing business.
I haven't seen them for a long time, and they have changed a lot. Although they all rely on their parents for money to make a living, some of them are still quite capable.
For example, Yin Anwei is very familiar with the business of the advertising company. His family has no other business. He has watched his family members manage the company since he was a child and is very familiar with its business.
He also has his own opinion. He thinks that the times are progressing, technology is developing rapidly, and those outdoor advertisements will be replaced sooner or later.
"Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry that this interview took so long and I asked you to treat me to a meal. It's really a waste of your precious time."
In a revolving restaurant in the city center, the female reporter gave Chen Yifeng an apologetic look.
"It's okay. People always need a rest. I've been in meetings all day and I'm a little tired. It's a pleasure to have dinner with a beauty like you."
"I felt that Mr. Chen was very serious when I first met him, but I didn't expect that he was so kind and friendly in private!"
"Haha, you are beautiful and good at talking. You will definitely have a bright future."
Chen Yifeng was very satisfied with the praise from the female reporter.
Unconsciously, he recalled the last time he went to the TV station.
It seems that finding a young and sweet-talking girl is also a good choice.
But she seemed too young, about the same age as my son.
After all, I am an outstanding entrepreneur in China and often appear in the news. What's wrong with finding a young girl!
Chen Yifeng's mind was constantly changing with thoughts. He looked at the female reporter in front of him and liked her more and more.
Although the woman was not as pretty as Chen Caiyue, she was young, and most importantly, she admired her.
As a son-in-law who married into the family, he felt very happy about the flattery from others.
Early the next morning, Chen Xi drove to Xixinyuan.
This is where he was born, so naturally there are many old acquaintances here.
Today he is going to visit a grandfather who has watched him grow up.
Zhou Wenbin used to be the leader of Qinhuai. After retiring, he stayed in Xinlu and has been very caring towards Chen Xi since childhood.
He had discussed the previous logistics company plan with Zhou Wenbin, who said he could provide him with some help, but in the end, due to Chen Yifeng's opposition, the project was not implemented.
After parking the car, Chen Xi arrived in front of a small building. The houses in Xinxiyuan are very old. The building in front of him looked a bit old and didn't even have an elevator, but the house price was not low.
"Ding dong!"
Chen Xi rang the doorbell. After a minute or two, the door was opened and a chubby girl appeared.
She is Zhou Wenbin’s granddaughter - Zhou Hanxue. She grew up with Chen Xi. Since going abroad, the two have not seen each other for many years.
"Huh? Why is it you? You look so ugly with your short hair." As soon as they met, she started to speak out. Zhou Hanxue has always been a sharp-tongued person. When he came here to play as a child, if he touched her things, she would scold him for a long time.
"I'm here to see Grandpa Zhou."
"come in."
Chen Xi looked at her with a smile, but was met with a roll of the eyes by the other party.
After so many years, why is it that you still have that bad temper?
Ignoring Zhou Hanxue, he walked straight into the room. After a careful search, he found Zhou Wenbin basking in the sun on the balcony.
"Hello, Grandpa Zhou, this is Huazi for you."
Knowing that Zhou Wenbin liked to smoke, he bought a few packs of cigarettes when he came.
"Hey, why didn't you tell me you were coming earlier so I could go buy some vegetables." Seeing Chen Xi, Zhou Wenbin patted his arm enthusiastically.
"You're here, why didn't Hanxue call me? Where did she go again? She must still be in that bad mood."
"Haha, I'm used to it."
Zhou Wenbin couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that his granddaughter hadn't shown up yet. Chen Xi didn't care at all, as the two had been at odds since childhood.
"Why did you come to my house? How is studying abroad?"
"The New Year is coming soon, so I came to see you. Studying is okay, but it's a bit boring. But I started a small business in Australia, which is quite interesting."
"Come back after graduation. China is developing very fast now, especially Xinlu."
"Well, the leadership has been changed, and a major transformation will begin soon."
"Ha, you must want to do something, otherwise why would you suddenly come to me?"
After the two sat down, Chen Xi lit a cigarette for Zhou Wenbin and started chatting.
"I do have some ideas. Now is a great opportunity. It would be a shame if I missed it." Chen Xi exhaled a puff of smoke and continued.
"The most profitable projects in the major renovation are definitely not something you can do. Those are all contracted by Chinese companies, so forget it." Zhou Wenbin used to be a leader and was very knowledgeable about this aspect.
Xinlu is different from other cities. It is considered a big city, and Qin Feilong was sent down from above, so he will not give the project to certain people alone.
After the city's major transformation, people from above will definitely come to check it out, and he won't do anything risky.
"Grandpa Zhou, I want to do something else..."
Chen Xi told Zhou Wenbin his thoughts.
"As for the engineering, the authorities selected it through bidding results. It's up to you. As for waste recycling, you can't take it all. It's best to recycle selectively. This initial transformation starts from the city center, then here, and then there."
Zhou Wenbin smoked a cigarette, pointed his finger at the ground, and then pointed to the northeast.
The north is the poorest area in Xinlu and is not currently within the scope of renovation.
This means starting from the city center, then moving to several districts in the west, and finally transforming the industrial areas in the northeast.
"I'm sure you know how Qin Feilong came to Xinlu, so you should behave properly and try to leave a good impression on others."
"Yes, got it."
Chen Xi nodded.
"Don't learn from your father. He is too cunning and will fall sooner or later." Zhou Wenbin reminded Chen Xi earnestly.
He and Chen Yifeng have known each other for many years, and Zhou Wenbin knows very well what kind of person he is. He feels that Chen Yifeng only cares about money, and there are some things he does not understand at all.
Just as he said, Chen Yifeng really fell flat on his face later.
In Zhou Wenbin's opinion, Chen Xi, who grew up in a semi-public and semi-business family environment, is more sober and rational than Chen Yifeng when dealing with certain things.
"Yeah, I see." Chen Xi nodded, but smiled bitterly in his heart. Some things cannot be controlled by one person, otherwise he would not have done that in his previous life in Huajing...
When he thought of the project in Huajing in his previous life, he felt a little regretful.
His father was very similar to his uncle Zhang Wu, both of them only focused on money and had little political sensitivity. To do big business in China, it would not work if you only used a simple businessman's mindset to handle things.
Zhou Wenbin has a lot of resources, and he is usually very bored, so he plans to be a consultant to Chen Xi, give him some advice, and introduce some people to Chen Xi.
Of course, he also wanted to get his granddaughter to work in Chen Xi's future company.
He originally wanted his granddaughter to date Chen Xi, but he knew clearly what kind of people those granddaughters were.
He looks average and has a bad temper.
So after thinking about it, he finally couldn't speak.
"Okay, you two go buy some vegetables, and I'll show you my cooking skills when I come back. I need to exercise first. I haven't done any stretching since you came here today." Zhou Wenbin called his granddaughter over and asked the two of them to go buy some vegetables.
His current retirement life is playing chess, exercising, cooking, and chatting with old friends.
Although he doesn't have much work to do now, he knows a lot about things. Although he is retired, many people still visit him and want to get some advice.
