Reborn Tycoon Rise

Chapter 290 The Spring Festival of 1981

In a few years, the mainland is about to enter a turbulent era, with rapid economic development, but it is also an era that is most short of funds, especially for a large number of highways, ports and terminals. As long as these projects are invested, the future will be to make money with your eyes closed, and even more Needless to say, any one of these projects requires an investment of billions of Hong Kong dollars, creates tens of thousands of jobs, and has an impact no less than that of a large factory.

Later Li Jiacheng controlled 18% of the world's ports at his peak. This was the fundamental basis for his massive diversification. Even if the sky fell, the profits of the ports would not drop much.

However, the current total industrial export output of the mainland is not enough to support the large-scale development of large-scale port terminals. The best prime time will be at least ten years from now.

February 4, 1981:

Lunar New Year's eve!

Xujia Taiping Peak Villa:

When Xu Zhi came down from the second floor in the morning, he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.

When he walked into the kitchen and saw his mother alone, Xu Zhi asked curiously: "Mom, why are you alone, where is Sister-in-law Wu?"

Wang Hua paid attention to the food in the pot and replied: "I asked her to go home. You also know that she takes care of us every day and has no time to spend with her family. During the Chinese New Year these days, I didn't let her come over. "

"Yes." Xu Zhi nodded. In his impression, other servants and bodyguards at home seemed to be exchanged frequently, but Sister-in-law Wu seemed to be always there. I had never noticed it before, but now that my mother mentioned it, I realized that there was such a thing. One thing.

Xu Zhi then asked: "Then how are we going to prepare food for today? Are we going to find another chef?"

Wang Hua said: "Your mother and I are the other chef. I will cook today."

"Okay..." Xu Zhi nodded and said, my mother's craftsmanship is actually not bad, but this difference is actually compared with ordinary housewives, but it is still far from a real chef! But I am used to the chef's delicious food every day, so it would be nice to have a normal home-cooked meal today.

When he opened the lid of the pot, a burst of water mist rose into the sky and was immediately sucked away by the range hood. Wang Hua said, "I'm cooking glutinous rice balls. Do you want to come over and have a try?"

It is the custom of the Xu family to eat glutinous rice balls on the morning of New Year's Eve. Xu Zhi walked to the pot, took a look, and asked, "Is there any fat in the meat filling here?"

"Of course there is. Without fat, there will be no oil and it won't taste good!" Wang Hua said matter-of-factly.

"Then I'll eat something sweet! Are these sesame or bean paste?" Xu Zhi said helplessly. People of the older generation just like to eat meat with a little fat, but he can't get used to it.

In addition to braised pork, the proportion of fat is also at most 20 to 30%, and it is best to have the fat removed!

But he really doesn't like the meat fillings in some steamed buns and dumplings because they have a lot of fat in them, but that's what he likes all his life.

Wang Hua said: "There are sesame ones and bean paste ones. These round ones are filled with meat, while the pointed ones are sweet. Just pay attention when the time comes."

"Okay, I'm going out first. I'm going to help dad post couplets!" Xu Zhi took out a small piece of ice cream from the refrigerator and prepared to eat it for breakfast.

"Okay, let's go!" Wang Hua was obviously a little busy and had no time to pay attention to his son.

The winter in Xiangjiang is not too cold, and the house has a constant temperature and humidity system. After putting on his coat, Xu Zhi opened the door and saw his father who was pasting Spring Festival couplets outside and his little girl who was helping.

"Dad, why do you have to do this kind of thing yourself?" Seeing Xu Hongbang standing on the ladder and posting couplets, Xu Zhi smiled helplessly.

Xu Hongbang said: "If you don't understand, it's okay with other things, but you still have to post these Spring Festival couplets yourself, otherwise there will be no joy."

"Okay, whatever you want, be safe." Xu Zhi couldn't help it. His parents had been doing this since childhood, and they couldn't change it now. Besides, it was just some Spring Festival couplets, not a heavy job.

Xu Yaxin asked: "Are you ready to go out?"

"I just go out for a run and exercise." Xu Zhi said: "It doesn't feel good to run on the treadmill. I just go outside to breathe some fresh air."

"Okay, come back early, we'll have breakfast later." Xu Yaxin reminded.

"OK."

at dusk:

The family sat at the table, eating gourmet meals cooked by several of them. On New Year's Eve this year, the family decided to do it all themselves, and everyone cooked two portions of their own specialty dishes.

"Xiao Xin, your soup is too bland!" Xu Zhi took a mouthful of the chicken soup cooked by his younger sister and said instructing Jiang Shan.

Xu Yaxin smiled and said, "Don't you ask your parents for a low-salt diet every day? I specially prepared this for you. See how good I am to you."

"No matter how low-salt it is, you still have to have salt! Did you forget to put it in?" Xu Zhi said suspiciously.

"Stop arguing, I'm going to add some salt." Wang Hua got up and went to the kitchen to get the salt box.

At this moment, the Spring Festival special program of TVB's "Happy Tonight" was playing on the TV. As usual, several hosts were laughing and joking about the show's laughter, while constantly interacting with the TV audience outside the screen.

"Brother, I just got news this afternoon. The American Fortune Business Weekly has designated you as this year's man of the hour in Asia. They estimate that your current worth is as high as 2 billion U.S. dollars, second only to Wang An of the United States. Currently the richest Chinese in Asia." Xu Yaxin nudged Xu Zhi with her elbow and said with a smile.

""Fortune"?" Xu Zhi recalled that his company did receive an interview application from "Fortune" some time ago, but Xu Zhi did not agree. Unexpectedly, now he has directly estimated his worth and published it. .

"The richest man?" Xu Hongbang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't the richest man in China Bao Yugang?"

"Dad, Bao Yugang is only the richest man in Hong Kong. In terms of net worth, he can't compare to Wang An from the United States. Of course, he can't compare to my brother now!" Xu Yaxin explained with a smile.

"Is it true?" Xu Hongbang looked at Xu Zhi and asked.

"From a numerical point of view, Wang An may be richer than Bao Yugang, but in terms of influence, he is still far behind." Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Global International, owned by Bao Yugang, had 200 ships at its peak. The ship has a total carrying capacity of 20 million tons, which exceeds the fleets of many countries, and every order he makes can bring a large number of jobs to the economy of a region. He is a guest of presidents and prime ministers of various countries."

Xu Yaxin smiled and said: "Brother, dad is asking about you."

Xu Zhi thought for a moment and said: "I'm not sure, maybe it's about the same, but worth can't measure everything. The most important thing for a businessman is his influence.

With the same net worth of 100 million, some people only hold hundreds of houses, while others use this 100 million to control a company with a market value of 500 million, and then use this company to control a company with a market value of 2 billion. As long as the management is good, , the influence is no less than that of some super rich people. "

"You don't know how much you are worth?" Xu Yaxin asked curiously.

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "We can still know roughly, but it is difficult to calculate the market value of an unlisted company like Midea. When many companies go public, international investment banks often misjudge their value.

On the other hand, for listed companies like Hutchison Whampoa and Electric Power Industries, statistics are relatively simple, but don’t forget that your brother also owns a large number of properties. It is equally difficult to calculate the value of these things, and even the prices this year are different from last year. "

"Is that so? Then Fortune is just messing around?" Xu Yaxin asked.

Xu Zhi said: "Not necessarily. Even if the calculations of such authoritative economic magazines are wrong, they still have a good attitude and will not make up random data. Some data are still supported by data.

By the way, is Fortune newspaper available for sale in Hong Kong? "

Xu Yaxin said: "It seems not! Brother, do you want to see how they calculate it?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "I'm a little interested. Maybe they will investigate more clearly than I know."

Xu Yaxin smiled and said: "Okay, then I will call my classmate tonight and ask her to fly a copy over."

Xu Zhi waved his hand and smiled and said: "No, I can do this kind of thing with just a phone call."
