Reinventing the Millennium

Yangtze Hotel, once the most luxurious hotel in Luzhou, still retains the Soviet-style architectural style, which has a certain special significance.

However, it has fallen behind the times in the development wave of the 21st century.

At the very least, the bosses who came to attend the Luzhou investment promotion meeting on September 16 did not think this place was very luxurious.

In China in 2000, there was a disconnect between the development of coastal and inland areas. People who got rich first had a taste for food in developed areas, but when they returned to the lifeless Luzhou, they felt extremely dull.

After all, in terms of GDP this year, Luzhou, the capital of a large central province, is not as good as non-provincial capital cities in many provinces.

When Fang Zhuo got up that day, he first carefully put on some light makeup to make his skin appear slightly darker, and then put on a less thick beard. Finally, he changed into more formal clothes and looked at himself in front of the mirror.

From top to bottom, from the inside out, in my arms, in my hands, and in my mouth, I have to say that it was a right choice to go to Yiwu two days ago. There is already a small commodity capital there. Prototype, lively and energetic.

As long as you spend money, you can buy anything, you can make things that you can't buy, and you can make them look similar even if they can't be copied. Most people in this era have difficulty distinguishing deliberate fakes.

Fang Zhuo put the cigar box in his bag, hesitated, and put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

It seems like it would be nice to look more sophisticated on this occasion today.

Check again to make sure everything is correct.

Fang Zhuo silently tore up several pieces of newspaper information and the ideas and plans written in his notebook and flushed them into the toilet.

Finally, he stood in front of the mirror again, muttering to himself to boost his courage.

"Confidence, confidence, confidence, I am not fighting alone, anything can happen in this era."

"Song Ruhua can use wasteland as a concept for IPO."

"Liu Bain can write books and speculate in the stock market."

"Brother Song Chao can recruit celebrities to cut leeks."

"If you understand the king, you can be the right person to talk to."

Fang Zhuo's self-talk stopped abruptly. Although the deeds of the last one were a bit far away from now, his confidence was indeed increased. Well, as for the three people in front who were active at the forefront, their empty-handed strategy was a white wolf. It's not clever, but the emperor's new clothes have a blinding magic power.

Or, it's a temporary blinding of magic.

Fang Zhuo threw away his worries and left the room. He did not stay at the Yangtze River Hotel when he returned from Yiwu, but stayed at a hotel not far away that did not require registration of an ID card.

Holding the bag, I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be no invitation on the way.

However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Yangtze River Hotel, Fang Zhuo saw the conspicuous banners and the leaders chatting outside, and Chen Shuhu was among them in a suit and leather shoes.

——"Luzhou City Industrial Investment Promotion Conference".

Although he already knew the information about the leaders attending today from the newspaper, Fang Zhuo still felt a little guilty when he actually saw a group of city leaders. This was not 1v1 but 1vN.

"Xiao Wan is here." Chen Shuhu had just finished greeting a local company CEO in Luzhou, and turned around to see the overseas friend he had been chatting with the day before.

As for my impression on the stock exchange, apart from a quick glance at the stack of green in his wallet at the end, I was more surprised by his extremely clear talk about the US Internet bubble and senior market operations.

Chen Shuhu is convinced that this is a very knowledgeable overseas young man who knows the capital market well, and he may have a good family background behind him.

"Brother Chen, your demeanor is very different from the day before yesterday." Fang Zhuo's originally "empty" heart hardened instantly. Now, he understands Chen Shuhu better than Chen Shuhu.

Anyway, it didn't matter if he was found out. From beginning to end, he was just chatting with the general manager about information he didn't know.

Chen Shuhu smiled slightly, and this time he patted Fang Zhuo on the shoulder: "I'm just here as a foil to see if there's any advantage. Come in, Xiao Wan, and take a look at the faces of entrepreneurs in our country."

Fang Zhuo smiled at him and walked into the "Luzhou City Industrial Investment Promotion Conference" grandly.

Now that I've come in, the last hesitation in my heart has been put aside.

Fang Zhuo began to think carefully about the usefulness of this investment fair.

Judging simply from the information in the newspapers, the government departments are still quite low-profile and sincere. The attending leaders are of a high level. They come to the door to welcome them before the time is up. There are also numerous warm-up articles in the media.

——"Industry elites gather together to share nostalgia and friendship."

——"Reviving the style of Huizhou merchants in the new century."

From this, it can also be seen that the current economic development of Luzhou and even Anhui Province is not good.

The relationship between supply and demand is that demand exceeds supply.

Fang Zhuo walked into the banquet hall according to the hotel's instructions and unexpectedly saw what looked like a buffet reception.

"Oh, it's quite fashionable."

There were already many people in the banquet hall, most of them in suits and leather shoes, with reserved expressions. Some people who knew each other formed a small circle and were chatting.

Fang Zhuo squeezed a glass of juice and looked for the target slowly.

The plan to make money, ah no, the plan to find medical expenses is not complicated. He knows the focus of Luzhou's future development. The "Red Star Rice Paper" currently classified as a non-performing asset has a piece of land that will appreciate in value in the next one or two years. The news time difference in between is very valuable.

However, there is no proof for his words. Fang Zhuo needs someone to endorse his valuable news, and Chen Shuhu, who is responsible for handling the "Red Star Rice Paper", is a person who knows the deeds very well in his memory.

Then, this general manager of a state-owned enterprise is very suitable to deal with.

Now, there is still a lack of a relatively lucky person.

Fang Zhuo looked at the people in the banquet hall and felt that whether he could succeed in the end depends on some luck. This wave, this wave, it depends on whether God will give him a chance.

What shape does a lucky person have to have?

Don’t know too much about the market, otherwise you won’t be able to borrow any power.

Don't be too restrained and down-to-earth, otherwise you won't be able to pay your medical expenses.

Fang Zhuo took a sip of juice, and just as he looked to the north, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. Hey, it seemed to be Teacher Xiao Su from the school? Why is she here?

Teacher Xiao Su, who just joined the school this year, is often talked about by the boys because of her resemblance to Li Qihong, who plays Guo Xiang. Counting this, it has only happened recently.

Fang Zhuo turned sideways and walked straight to the south of the banquet hall, paying attention to the angle of his sight. Even though Teacher Xiao Su didn't know him, it was better not to have any intersection.

"Hey, Xiao Wan, when will the elders of the family come to Luzhou for a visit?" Chen Shuhu appeared unknowingly.

"Hey, they are going to Beijing after watching the show in Shanghai. There is an invitation to cooperate there." Fang Zhuo replied politely, "Sina, which was listed on Nasdaq this year, we all feel that it has chosen the wrong cooperation. Partner, you shouldn’t be looking for Morgan Stanley.”

Chen Shuhu said in surprise: "Aren't Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley very famous investment banks?"

Fang Zhuo smiled and said: "Being famous does not mean being professional in everything. Many senior executives at Morgan Stanley are unfamiliar with the situation in mainland China, especially Stephen, who is in charge of this business. I heard that he is a stick-in-the-mud. "

"Well, he is a very old-fashioned person."

"He doesn't really like new things on the Internet. At first he thought Sina was a company selling toys."

Grapevine, especially gossip that sounds true, always attracts attention.

Not only Chen Shuhu, but also the bosses who want to have a relationship with General Manager Chen are also half-heartedly interested - after all, there is news that the leader of the state-owned enterprise may go to power in the near future.

Fang Zhuo was not afraid of the gathered gazes. He took a sip of juice and instead looked at the people around him.

"Speaking of Sina's listing, I also heard something from a friend, but I can't guarantee it's true because he works for Goldman Sachs, a competitor of Morgan Stanley."

"He told me that a group of people at Morgan Stanley were confused when they first contacted Sina. It was obviously an Internet company, so why did it keep emphasizing the need for a 'door'."

Chen Shuhu didn't react, and the others even less so.

"Sina, it is going to be a portal website."

Fang Zhuo shrugged: "Portal, door, these are the idiots at Morgan Stanley."

He laughed.

Chen Shuhu suddenly realized and laughed out loud.

The crowd laughed.

Among them, a golden chain boss who had just walked over and had no idea what was going on laughed the loudest - with a weather-beaten old face, a shining golden watch, and flattering and fiery eyes.

That fiery look was directed at Chen Shuhu and also glanced at the city leaders not far away.

Fang Zhuo silently averted his gaze. He was not unfamiliar with that kind of longing look. As a businessman, he either wanted to be a Confucian businessman or longed for a red top.

This lucky guy should belong to the latter category.
