989. Wang Wentao
The Cotai Hotel has a total of 12 floors, the lower four floors are hotels, and the upper eight floors are hotels, and Zhou Fangyuan's goal is the top floor.
Dingββ
The elevator was very stable, and Zhou Fangyuan was led by the waiter to the twelfth floor, the innermost room.
"Dong Zhou, please, Dong Wang is already waiting for you. β
The waiter said very respectfully.
"Thank you. β
Zhou Fangyuan smiled and nodded.
"It is my pleasure to serve you. β
The waiter bowed and left.
Zhou Fangyuan glanced at the figure of the waiter leaving, and then walked straight towards the room.
This is a suite, and it is obvious that this suite is different from a normal hotel room, and it looks like a place where someone stays.
"Welcome to Jay Chou!"
At this time, a middle-aged man walked out in a hurry, and with the temperament of a successful person, he strode in front of Zhou Fangyuan. This person is about two meters tall, giving people a strong sense of oppression, standing in front of Zhou Fangyuan, he actually looked down at him condescendingly.
To be honest, it feels really bad.
Zhou Fangyuan asked himself if he was not a short person, but he was definitely not a tall person, his height was about the same as that of ordinary people, and he looked like he was in his early seventies. In today's era, it is actually okay, but in another ten years, he is estimated to be nicknamed a "third-class cripple". As a descendant, he knows what kind of height the young man will be ten years later, and it is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Fangyuan once saw two people downstairs in his house.
From a distance, it looks like a father and daughter, especially the "daughter", who looks like a primary school student, both in height and dress.
But what is very interesting is that the "father" next to him is actually carrying a schoolbag, and he is still jumping up and down when he walks, Zhou Fangyuan felt curious and walked a few steps quickly. What did he see as a result?
That "father" is definitely a primary school student, although his height does not match at all, but his appearance and appearance are super tender at first glance, you say that he is a middle school student, it is equivalent to bullying Zhou Fangyuan's IQ.
That height is only higher than him, not low, but the problem is that the other party is just a primary school student!!!!
Is this kind of world still alive? Growing at one meter seven in elementary school, Zhou Fangyuan really doubts that he grew up eating hormones three meals a day, is it true that the post-00s are all monsters? How can there be such an exaggerated person.
But think about those basketball players, in fact, this age and height are reasonable.
It can only be said that life is really better, nutrition is sufficient, genes are improved, and people's growth rate has become exaggerated.
Because of this experience, Zhou Fangyuan felt troublesome when he saw those who were much taller than him, especially when he needed to raise his head to talk to the other party, his mood was even worse.
It's like now.
"I don't know what Wang Dong is looking for me. β
Zhou Fangyuanqiang said with a smile.
Wang Wentao, the chairman of Jinguang, he has another identity, that is, the chairman of Beitong Oriental Group.
The Eastern Group is definitely the premier behemoth in Beitong City, and before the emergence of the Far Away Group, the Eastern Group was the largest group in Beitong, and there was no one.
It has also been involved in many fields, and once upon a time it also affected the lives of the people of Beitong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is closely related to the lives of the people of Beitong.
One of the most famous, is the Oriental Department Store, the former Beitong Department Store, after the restructuring was bought by the Oriental Group, and then made into the Oriental Department Store, in the era when Zhou Fangyuan was still very young, there was nearly ten years, this department store is the most famous commercial building in Beitong City, there is no one.
Then there is the Oriental Supermarket, there are more than a dozen chain stores in the entire Beitong City, and all of them are that kind of large supermarkets, there was once an interesting story about the Oriental Supermarket, that is, in several small vegetable markets near the locomotive factory, because of the Oriental Supermarket, it was even crowded to no one. Not only the management of the wet market, but even the small street vendors have banded together to block the doors of the Oriental supermarkets, demanding that they stop selling vegetables in the supermarkets and leave these markets to these vendors.
Of course, this request is very physical, not to mention the destruction of urban environmental sanitation by itinerant vendors and the question of whether they are legal, let's just say that everyone sells vegetables, you can sell it, and he can sell it, so why can't I sell it? What does it have to do with other supermarkets because people don't want to consume? Say that supermarkets are stealing business? Then why don't you want to think about why business is being snatched away by supermarkets? Is it just because it's cheap?
Of course, supermarkets have advantages in terms of purchase price, but supermarkets also have rent and labor expenses, and the cost of small traders in this regard is almost zero, so don't laugh at the boss, there is nothing wrong with supermarkets.
Maybe he didn't want to really cause public anger, or maybe he was out of the question, and finally the person in charge of the Oriental Supermarket took the initiative to come forward, and with the help of the city, he made an agreement with the small traders near the locomotive factory, and everyone kept the price above the same standard, and completely handed over the market to the surrounding residents to choose, and the supermarket was not allowed to use its cheaper purchase channels to reduce prices, and the small traders also left the supermarket two hundred meters away from the supermarket.
This matter once caused a lot of discussion in Beitong City. Of course, everyone is just discussing, anyway, it has nothing to do with themselves, and the right is the talk of the citizens after dinner.
However, it can also be seen from this that the status of Oriental Supermarket itself in Beitong City.
In addition, there are other industries, for example, two of the five major wholesale markets in Beitong City are of the Oriental Group, the West Passenger Station is of the Oriental Group, more than five large cold storage are of the Oriental Group, and many hotels such as Jinguang Hotel, Kunlun Hotel, Huayi Hotel, and Baishanju Restaurant are also of the Oriental Group.
In addition, there are a number of real estate projects, which are also the property of the Oriental Group.
The scale of the Eastern Group can be said to be no less than that of the Far Away Group, but this is not all of it, and the Eastern Group has also played a lot of exemplary roles in municipal engineering.
There are five bus routes in Beitong City that were built by the Oriental Group, and as we all know, bus companies actually can't make money in many cases. There are always people who think that the bus has a large capacity and can pick up a lot of people at each stop, and this person comes and goes, and the ability to make money is strong. In fact, this is not the case at all, the bus company, mainly to serve the convenience of the public, this aspect of the first local government is to allocate funds to support, so look at it, in fact, you can see one or two, just imagine, if the bus company really makes a lot of money, then do you need the local government to allocate money?
There is indeed no shortage of routes that can make money, but in general, the bus system loses money, but you have to do it if you lose money, and if you don't do it, public transportation will run into problems.
Car maintenance and fuel, labor costs, vehicle replacement, etc., all of which cost money. And when the bus passes by the stop, it has to stop for a hundred people, and it has to stop without one person, and the bus company has already starved to death just by relying on those advertising fees. However, in this case, the city government has to allocate money, and Dongfang has taken the initiative to take four bus routes today, which is still the kind of route with few passengers, and basically losing money is certain. The only good thing to say is probably the billboards, but the Eastern Bloc basically doesn't need them in Beitong City, because it's so famous.
In addition, it is a route with few people, even if there are billboards, how much effect can it play?
However, in this way, the Eastern Group still insists on maintaining the four routes, and does not hesitate to invest a lot of money every year, on the one hand, it is the conscience of the enterprise. A mature enterprise and entrepreneur must have the conscience to give back to the society, otherwise your company will definitely not be able to become bigger and stronger. Secondly, it is mainly to manage government relations, because there are a large number of municipal projects that are co-organized by the Oriental Group or even operated by one force, so the Oriental Group is also registered on the side of the municipal government, basically as long as it is not too excessive, with the contribution made by the Eastern Group, the government can take it lightly and turn a blind eye.
Zhou Fangyuan also knew that four years later, the construction of the first and only subway in Beitong began, and a long section of the route was built by the Eastern Group at a price close to cost, and the quality was excellent. This point, Beitong TV station also reported on it in the previous life, and almost all Beitong people know it.
Therefore, the Oriental Group is such a huge, majestic, and at the same time there is no lack of conscience, has a huge reputation in Beitong City, and has a good image of the government.
Today, he was supposed to bring his employees over for dinner, but he just came to the hotel and received a call from Wang Wentao.
He and Wang Wentao met at the annual government cocktail party, the government will hold a cocktail party every year, of course, this is not extravagant and wasteful, but in order to gather these big entrepreneurs in the city, on the one hand, it is to give some honorary rewards, after all, these large enterprises pay high taxes every year, and they are also helpful in government work, and the government cannot really personally give any material rewards, and entrepreneurs are not rare, but some honorary rewards, which are things that everyone pursues.
The second point is to summarize the work of the government, and also to listen to the entrepreneurs, and tell them that the help the government receives every year is implemented, so that some people will not have doubts in their hearts.
The third point is to study various documents, entrepreneurs are the most need to keep up with current affairs, local governments to maintain stability, naturally also hope that these legal enterprises can live well, create greater benefits, so the necessary learning is certain.
Finally, there is the work outlook for the new year, and the places where these entrepreneurs may be needed in the new year, which can be regarded as an early ventilation.
Of course, it is said that it is needed, in fact, even if there is no such entrepreneur, some of the government's projects and projects will definitely be launched, but everyone has such a tacit understanding, the government helps enterprises to escort, and enterprises, when the government needs it, to give a helping hand, which is mutually beneficial.
The Yuanfang Group is now so famous and rich, so it is natural to be eligible for an invitation.
At the reception, he met many local entrepreneurs, including Wang Wentao.
It's just that they just know each other, and they haven't had any contact before, and they don't have any so-called human feelings.
So today Wang Wentao called him, which made him very puzzled, and the other party said that he had something to look for him, but he didn't think much about it, so he came up.
"Come on, come on, come in. Dong Chou, you are a busy person, it is really not easy to see you in normal times, but today I finally caught you, come, come in quickly. β
Wang Wentao is big and thick, and he speaks very aggressively, of course, if anyone thinks that he is really a reckless man, then this person is probably stupid enough.
This person should not look rough on the face, in fact, he is definitely thick and fine, and there is a furrow in the chest, otherwise he would not have been able to develop the Eastern Bloc to this day.
Wang Wentao is also a local legend, he was originally a worker in the factory, because he offended the team leader, he was targeted everywhere, and then he quit his job in the factory in anger and ran out to do business. At that time, his choice was definitely a laughing stock in Beitong. I don't know how many people are watching his jokes behind his back.
But what no one expected was that in the first year of going to the sea to do business, this person earned the first pot of gold in his life.
Then with this money, he began to do local express delivery business, which was definitely a fresh industry at that time, after all, the express delivery at that time was basically the only post company. It was at that time that Wang Wentao began to do local express delivery, initially from a small three-wheeled vehicle to the extent that there were dozens of large vehicles. It's just that the express delivery industry is really too late to fund, and later Wang Wentao felt that he had a better opportunity, so he sold the express company.
After that, it was out of control, and the assets rolled up and down. Those who laughed at him back then can't even see his back now.
It can be said that the people who have come from that era and achieved success are amazing people.
After all, in that era, the degree of chaos was far greater than today, people's hearts fluctuated, and the tide of thought fluctuated, Zhou Fang was far from experienced, but he had seen it from various literary works, and every time he thought about it, he had to sigh, that era, although there was gold everywhere, but it was also an era of mines everywhere, and if you were not careful, you might be killed and injured by a dark mine buried in the unknown place, so those who can come over safely can definitely be called super cows.
Now, such a bull took the initiative to say that he had something to do, and Zhou Fangyuan was very curious in his heart, what was the matter with this Wang Wentao.
