Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Hearing Zhong Yuemin's affirmation, Yu Guodong's face was filled with a sincere smile, and he quickly flattered him, "Mr. Zhong, all this is because of your grasp of the overall situation and your planning and strategizing that we have today's results. I am just an executor, and anyone can take over."

Zhong Yuemin waved his hand gently, his eyes revealing his recognition of Guodong. "Okay, Lao Yu, don't be so modest. Your ability is obvious to all. From the establishment of the Light Industry Federation to the breakthrough in export performance, it is inseparable from your hard work and outstanding leadership. Excessive modesty is just pride."

Yu Guodong chuckled, looking a little embarrassed. "Mr. Zhong, you are joking. I know I still have a lot to learn and improve. However, with you leading the way, I have the confidence to do things better."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and nodded. "Old Yu, we are a team and everyone is an indispensable part. Your efforts and abilities are the important driving force for our team to keep moving forward. In the future, we will face more challenges and opportunities. I hope you can continue to maintain this humble and enterprising attitude and lead everyone to create new glories."

Yu Guodong smiled. "Mr. Zhong, don't worry. I will definitely keep your teachings in mind, constantly improve my abilities, and contribute more to the development of the team. I believe that under your leadership, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve greater success."

"Old Yu, you really don't need to be so modest. You play a vital role in this plan. Without your hard work and wisdom, we would not have achieved today's results. So, you must have confidence in yourself and in our team."

"Mr. Zhong, thank you for your trust and support. I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations." Yu Guodong solemnly promised.

Zhong Yuemin smiled and patted Yu Guodong on the shoulder. "Good job, Old Yu! I knew you didn't let me down."

Yu Guodong laughed foolishly for a while, the smile on his face almost overflowing. He now has a dividend of more than 270 million US dollars every month, which is more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars. Such a number makes him feel like he is dreaming. He can buy four luxury houses in Repulse Bay in a month, and there will be a lot left.

Yu Guodong once reached out and pinched himself gently, and the pain told him that all this was real.

The company's rapid progress this year was hard to believe for himself, even though all these achievements were the result of his own hard work.

Every successful implementation of a project is like adding fuel to the fire of his dream in his heart, making it burn brighter and brighter.

"Mr. Zhong, do you think there are really miracles in this world?" Yu Guodong couldn't help but ask. There was both excitement and confusion in his eyes, as if he was exploring an unknown area.

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly, his eyes deep, as if he could see into people's hearts. "Old Yu, miracle is just another name for hard work. Behind every success you see are countless attempts and failures, and a mixture of sweat and tears."

Yu Guodong was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhong Yuemin's words. He muttered to himself: "I didn't feel how difficult it was, nor did I work that hard!"

For Yu Guodong, this year's rapid development seemed to be a natural and smooth process.

But Zhong Yuemin's words were like a wake-up call, causing him to re-examine his path to success.

In fact, Yu Guodong's method is indeed simple and effective. He has repeatedly replicated the model of processing incoming materials, expanding from clothing, shoes and hats to small hardware with extremely low production thresholds, like a carefully planned expansion feast.

Yu Guodong recruited a large number of professional managers, each of whom was like a chess piece in his hand, accurately placed at the key position of each project. These professional managers showed their strengths and managed each project in an orderly manner.

Within one year, the company has grown from 5 foundries to 33 foundries, a speed that is astonishing.

Yu Guodong's name began to emerge in the business world of Hong Kong Island, and he was showing signs of becoming a new generation clothing tycoon.

Whenever Yu Guodong walks on the busy streets and sees shops with his own brand labels, he feels an indescribable sense of pride.

However, human desires are endless. Yu Guodong is not satisfied with just being a clothing tycoon. He has a bigger dream in his heart.

"Mr. Zhong, I want to set up a group company, what do you think?" Yu Guodong asked cautiously, his eyes flashing with expectation and desire. He knew very well what this step meant to him, and it would be an important milestone in his business empire.

Zhong Yuemin glanced at him, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly sighed in his heart: People, it turns out, will never be satisfied.

Zhong Yuemin sighed inwardly and spoke slowly. "Now is not the right time. You make money now by chance, not ability. Right? It seems that what I said just now was in vain, and you still don't understand what I mean."

Yu Guodong was shocked when he heard this. But he still felt unwilling, so he said, "Mr. Zhong, others didn't seize the same opportunity, but I did. This is also my ability."

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly, but there was a hint of deep meaning in his smile. "Old Yu, ability is important, but timing is equally indispensable. Although you are making money now, it is because you have seized the gaps and opportunities in the market. However, this does not mean that you have the ability and conditions to set up a group company."

Zhong Yuemin paused and continued, "To establish a group company, you need not only funds and resources, but also a complete management system and operation mechanism. Although you have a large number of foundries now, there is no real synergy between them. If you blindly establish a group company, it is likely to cause the collapse of the entire empire due to poor management."

"Mr. Zhong, can we do other business?" Yu Guodong's eyes were sparkling, with sparks of excitement jumping in them, as if there was an endless flame burning.

It is obvious that despite being rejected by Zhong Yuemin, he did not give up, and his desire for new business was still as strong as a prairie fire.

Zhong Yuemin stared at Li Guodong quietly, frowning slightly, and couldn't help thinking secretly. Behind Yu Guodong's eager and fiery eyes, he seemed to sense a hint of overeagerness and unrealistic ambition.

So, Zhong Yuemin slowly said, "Do you want to abandon our current main business and turn to those non-core or even unfamiliar fields?"

Zhong Yuemin's voice was not loud, but it was calm and serious, with a hint of subtle reminder in it.

Hearing this, Yu Guodong shook his head vigorously and gestured with his hands, trying to make his explanation clearer. "That's not the case, Mr. Zhong! Don't forget that our company also has a large shopping mall project! According to the plan, it will be successfully completed in May this year, and then we can carry out comprehensive decoration work, and when everything is ready, it will be grandly opened! But... In addition to this, I recently discovered another business opportunity, but I'm not sure if we can get involved."

At this point, Yu Guodong paused for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and then asked carefully, "So, Mr. Zhong, I just want to ask you, can we do this other business?"

Zhong Yuemin's expression eased a little when he heard Yu Guodong say this. "What business?"

Yu Guodong showed a smug smile on his face, then cleared his throat and began to tell the story in detail with great interest. "Mr. Zhong, do you know the land of Shenzhen Exhibition Center? In 1984, Shenzhen Industrial Development Service Company ambitiously signed a contract with the British ICE Group, planning to jointly make a big move - to build an exhibition center! According to the original agreement, both parties had to invest a total of 1600 million US dollars! But who would have thought that when the design drawings were freshly released, the British actually played tricks and dragged their feet and refused to inject funds into the project. This made the investors in Shenzhen very anxious! There was no way, it was not a good thing to keep wasting time like this, so, just last year, they ran around and finally found China Insurance Investment Company to invest, and then they reluctantly let the project start.

Now, the construction of the main project is imminent, so a batch of important equipment must be purchased, but the problem is that the purchase of these equipments must use foreign exchange! And the British just casually said "no money" and wanted to shirk their responsibility.

Humph, it's not that easy! So, the Shenzhen investors were furious and decided to let these unreliable British people pack up and leave, and then look for new investors. What a coincidence, didn't they find me? Why did they find me? It's because I just happened to have some foreign exchange on hand! Hehe... Mr. Zhong, tell me, can this business be done?"

Zhong Yuemin thought for a while and asked, "What is the area of ​​the venue currently being designed?"

Yu Guodong took out a pile of documents from his bag, quickly flipped to the page with the project introduction, and spread it out for Zhong Yuemin to see. "Mr. Zhong, look, it's written here!"

"The current designed venue area is only 25,000 square meters?" There was a hint of doubt in Zhong Yuemin's voice. His eyes moved from the document to Yu Guodong, as if seeking an explanation.

Yu Guodong nodded and looked at Zhong Yuemin with some confusion: "Mr. Zhong, this is not small, right? The Convention and Exhibition Center in Hong Kong Island is only more than 40,000 square meters." There was a hint of doubt in his words, and he obviously thought that Zhong Yuemin's requirements for the venue area were a bit too harsh.

Zhong Yuemin frowned slightly, his eyes still fixed on the project information, and he shook his head gently. "Old Yu, you can't just look at the current scale. The exhibition industry is developing very fast, especially in a special economic zone like Shenzhen. The future demand will definitely far exceed current expectations."

Zhong Yuemin paused and continued, "Although the convention and exhibition center in Hong Kong Island is only more than 40,000 square meters, it was designed many years ago. Moreover, the market demand and economic environment of Hong Kong Island are different from those of Shenzhen. As the forefront of reform and opening up, Shenzhen's economic vitality and development speed are amazing. I believe that within ten years, this 25,000 square meter venue will be stretched to its limits."

Yu Guodong listened to Zhong Yuemin's words and could not help but feel awe in his heart. He knew that Zhong Yuemin not only had rich business experience, but also had a forward-looking vision and great ambitions.

"Mr. Zhong, do you mean that this thing cannot be done?" Yu Guodong asked Zhong Yuemin in a gentle and careful tone with a cautious look on his face.

Yu Guodong stared at the other person closely, as if he wanted to catch even the slightest hint of hope from Zhong Yuemin's words.

Zhong Yuemin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. "It's not completely impossible."

Zhong Yuemin paused for a moment, looking at Yu Guodong with deep and firm eyes. "If we participate in this project, it will be much more convenient for our company to participate in various exhibitions in the future. But...if we really plan to do it, we can't do it in a small way! I think it is necessary to expand the site area significantly. The 20 square meters are too small and can't meet the actual needs. In my opinion, since we have decided to do it, we have to act according to international standards. At least square meters should be enough."

At this point, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but secretly compare the project in front of him with those well-known large-scale exhibition centers in the country in later generations.

Like the new international exhibition center in Pujiang and the later built Shenzhen new international exhibition center, their area is more than 20 square meters.

In comparison, this area of ​​just over 20,000 square meters is not even a fraction of what others have.

After listening to this, Yu Guodong couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. "Mr. Zhong, the land in Shenzhen is not bad, but it will cost a lot of money, right?"

Zhong Yuemin glanced at him, with a hint of ridicule in his tone. "Are we short of money?"

Yu Guodong's worries instantly vanished after hearing Zhong Yuemin's words. He nodded, with a relaxed smile on his face. "That's right. Besides, we are not the only investor. The total cost is only over 3000 million US dollars, and we can invest in batches. From this point of view, the funding problem is really not a big deal."

Zhong Yuemin looked at him and smiled. "Old Yu, do you think they are willing to change the design? After all, this is a big project and it will take a lot of time and effort."

Yu Guodong answered confidently. "Mr. Zhong, don't worry! It's not a big deal. It's just an expansion. For them, it's just a slight adjustment of the design plan. They will change it even if it's troublesome. After all, there are not many investors who can invest in foreign exchange. They should understand this."

"Moreover, I can also build a hotel next to it," Yu Guodong added. "This way, our project will be more complete. The exhibition center and the hotel rely on each other to form a complete industrial chain."

Zhong Yuemin nodded. "If this project can really be negotiated, you can set up a group company. But it will have to be after October. At that time, I will hold shares in the name of Jinhua Company, not in my own name. This is more standardized and beneficial to the long-term development of the company."
