Chapter 83: Business Wizards and Debo Dayuba come on stage
Zhang Xinxian was flattered and took the water glass. He was indeed thirsty. He raised his head and drank it in one gulp. He said with joy: "This time we go out to attract investment and focus on the manufacturing of building materials. However, after all, our Shannan is too remote. There are many Investors were worried, but hard work paid off. Later, Longteng Group, the largest private enterprise in Jiangnan Province, took the initiative to contact us and said it was interested in our investment plan. Their chairman, Tong Debo, even met with me in person. [ ]".
"Oh! It's him!" Duan Zetao had heard of Tong Debo for a long time in his previous life. The two of them ranked 26th and 48th on the Forbes list of China's richest people. They were the only ones from Jiangnan Province on the list. Although the two rich men have never met, they have been close friends for a long time.
The experience of Tong Debo is quite legendary. The same surname originally belonged to a famous family. In order to avoid disaster, he gave up his official position and went into business. With his profound foundation and connections, he is also a famous family in the business world.
But when Tong Debo was eighteen years old, the Tong family encountered changes due to a struggle with another family. The family business encountered a major crisis, and it also owed huge debts. Creditors came one after another to press for debts, and the whole family was panicked. He was helpless, but Tong Debo, who was only 18 years old at this time, took the initiative to stand up and communicate with the creditors one by one.
"It's useless for you to force us now. You still won't get your debt back. If you believe in Tong's brand, please give me three years. After three years, I promise to pay off all your debts!".
Those creditors saw that what he said was reasonable and his attitude was very sincere. In desperation, they had no choice but to agree with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Tong Debo was appointed to take charge of Tong's enterprise when he was in danger. When he took office, he carried out drastic reforms, eliminated redundant employees, and improved performance. , and teamed up with another family to inflict heavy damage on the family that framed Tong's enterprise, and Tong's enterprise was able to regain its vitality.
Three years later, he not only repaid all the debts owed, but also brought Tong's enterprise to a higher level, with great potential to rise into the abyss, and his reputation for being trustworthy in business has also been widely spread.
At this time, the struggle for power and profit began to occur within the family. Tong Debo did not want to be said to have relied on the legacy of his ancestors to achieve success, so he resolutely left Tong's enterprise and went to Jiangnan alone to create the Longteng Group. It only took five years. Longteng Group became the largest private enterprise in Jiangnan Province, and he was called a "business wizard" for this reason.
In the previous life, many real estate developers tried their best to raise housing prices in pursuit of huge profits, so that ordinary people could not afford to buy a house even with their life savings. Some people even put forward the fallacy that "people born in the 1980s should not be able to afford a house!"! Tong Debo has always been committed to it. For the low-profit construction of affordable housing, he also used Du Fu’s famous saying, “With tens of millions of mansions, the poor people in the world will be happy” to encourage themselves. He has affordable housing projects all over the country, and he was also praised by the Prime Minister for this. 's interview.
Once, a project manager under him cut corners and used inferior building materials. When he found out, he became furious and immediately ordered the project manager to be fired and the building that was about to be capped was blown up and rebuilt. From then on, the people below We no longer dare to cut corners, and Longteng Group's reputation for credibility and quality has become the consensus of the industry.
His good reputation has made his Longteng Group one of the top private enterprises in the country. The government's affordable housing projects are also handed over to his Longteng Construction Company. At its peak, his company accounted for nearly half of the domestic affordable housing projects. With a market share of 30%, his Longteng Group has also developed into a diversified industrial group involving real estate, building materials, hotels, finance, logistics and other industries.
Through cooperation with the government, Tong Debo has also become a modern Hu Xueyan-style red-top businessman. He is not only a representative of the National People's Congress, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, but also the vice president of the Huaxia Chinese Chamber of Commerce. He has an extraordinary influence on the political arena. force.
Zhang Xinxian saw that Duan Zetao seemed to be quite familiar with Tong Debo, so he asked curiously: "Boss, do you know Longteng's Tongbo?" Duan Zetao shook his head and said: "We have known each other for a long time, but his Longteng Group can be regarded as a benchmark in the construction industry in the province. If it can really settle in our Gulin Development Zone, it will definitely form a demonstration effect and help us build a building materials industry chain with twice the result with half the effort!"
Zhang Xinxian was overjoyed at first, then he remembered something and hesitantly said: "President Tong is very interested in our plan to build a building materials industry chain, but he made a request. He... he wants you... you go to the province in person. Go to the city to meet him!”.
Duan Zetao chuckled and said: "I thought it was some kind of difficult request to make you so nervous. Since we want to attract investment, of course we have to show sincerity. As the acting county magistrate, I would like to pay a visit to our God of Wealth." That’s normal. Besides, I’ve long wanted to meet this legendary business wizard!”
The Huaxia Kingdom has always valued officials over business. At first, Zhang Xinxian was worried that Duan Zetao, the magistrate of the People's Government, would be embarrassed to visit a businessman. He did not expect him to be so open-minded. He was overjoyed and immediately made arrangements to contact the provincial capital. Visit to discuss matters with Debord.
Longteng Building is located in a prosperous section of the central business district of the provincial capital. It is 72 stories tall and is the tallest building in the provincial capital. Tong Debo's office is on the top floor. Along the way, the building is spotless and tidy. Employees of the Longteng Group come and go. They shuttled back and forth and walked in small steps, looking very busy, but everyone was in high spirits and smiling. Duan Zetao couldn't help but nod his head, secretly sighing. From these details, it can be seen that Tong Debo, the leader of Longteng Group, does have a lot of talent. Outstanding.
A white-collar beauty with outstanding temperament in a professional skirt received them, "Hello, County Magistrate Duan, and welcome to Longteng Group. I am Wang Yan, the special administrative assistant of the General Manager, and the General Manager has an important meeting at the last minute. Please go to the reception room and wait for a moment."
Wang Yan took Duan Zetao and the others to the reception room, poured tea and left. After waiting for nearly an hour, Tong Debo hadn't come yet. Zhang Xinxian couldn't sit still. He looked at Duan Zetao secretly, but saw that Duan Zetao didn't show any impatience at all. Instead, he walked to the corner, picked up the newspaper from the newspaper rack, and read it happily.
In the separate office of the reception room, a tall and handsome young man was observing Duan Zetao's every move through a special floor-to-ceiling glass (one side of this kind of glass can see the other side, but the other side cannot be seen), with a smile at the corner of his mouth. With a sly and playful smile, he said to himself: "Interesting, such a young county magistrate is very good at cultivating qi. It seems not easy!".
Wang Yan secretly laughed, Tong Debo was not much older than Duan Zetao, wouldn't talking about Duan Zetao mean talking about himself? He asked curiously: "President Tong, why do you want to hang them out there? Today's officials are all Old Master, if you really want to make him angry, won’t our investment plan also be ruined?”
"Nowadays, local governments treat you like an uncle when recruiting investment, and treat you like a fat pig when you actually settle down. So I just want to observe whether this county magistrate is worthy of my cooperation. I often say When it comes to investment projects, you must look at the people first and then the project. If you choose the right partner, the project income will definitely be the same. If you don’t choose the right partner, no matter how good the project is, it will be in vain. This County Magistrate has passed the first test. We are now Go meet them!" Tong Debo showed a smile that said he had everything under control.
Wang Yan looked at Tong Debo's tall and straight back, and a strange look flashed in her eyes. She had a strong affection for this charismatic boss, but she didn't dare to express it. She had to hide it in her heart and dare not express it. Tong Debo is young and handsome, with a strong family background and huge wealth. The beautiful ladies who pursue him are like crucian carp crossing the river, but he has never shown his lust for anyone, so how could he fall in love with himself, a Cinderella? Thinking of this With a melancholy look on her face, she quickly followed Tong Debo.
Duan Zetao had a feeling of sympathy for Tong Debo when he first saw him. He has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall and straight figure, noble and decent clothes, and an outstanding temperament that stands out from the crowd. In particular, his pair of eyes are particularly bright, as if he can see through the world, which makes you I felt that there was no secret in front of him, so I couldn't help but sigh to myself, what a young talent!
"Haha! County Magistrate Duan, I have kept you waiting for so long and you are so busy with worldly affairs. Please forgive me, Magistrate Duan!" Tong Debo extended his warm hands to Duan Zetao from afar.
"Haha, President Tong has so many things to do, so we can take the time to meet each other because we are destined. I have heard about President Tong's name for a long time, and when we meet today, it is true that he is a worthy person despite his great reputation!" Duan Zetao held Tong Debo's hand tightly. road.
Seeing Duan Zetao's good conversation and calm manner, Tong Debo suddenly felt a sense of understanding in his heart. The two looked at each other and smiled, both seeing appreciation in each other's eyes, and it was clear that everything was unspoken.
They didn’t know that it was this meeting that became a legend in the officialdom and the business world. The two of them helped each other and treated each other with sincerity, and eventually both became powerful figures in China. Zhang Xinxian and Wang Yan, who had witnessed this historic moment, would recall it many years later. After this scene, they all said the same thing: Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth, and brothers are bound to join forces in the world!
