Chapter 649: A Legend of the Business World

……

Chu Shijian is a legend in the Chinese business community, working in Hongta for 18 years, making 'Hongtashan' a famous brand in China, and making Yuxi Cigarette Factory the first in Asia and the world's leading modern large-scale tobacco enterprise. The profits and taxes created for the country are as high as 99.1 billion, plus the brand value of Hongtashan is more than 40 billion, and the profits and taxes contributed to the country are at least 140 billion. Become a veritable 'cigarette king' in China. But because of the current situation, he was imprisoned for corruption and bribery.

The most important thing is that at the age of 74, he contracted the second business in the barren mountain, and at the age of 85, 'Chu Orange' began to sell, and because of its good quality and popularity, it was in short supply, and became the 'Chinese Orange King'.

In this era of recklessness, if it is said that Mu Zhong is because of 'cans for planes', and 'blowing up the Himalayas to solve the problem of drought in Xin~Xinjiang', it is impressive. That Chu Shijian is an admirable representative of the old wing, but he can still win thousands of miles.

In this world, there are not many people who can still recover after failure, such as Shi Yuzhu of Giant Group and Fred Smith, the founder of FedEx. But at the age of 74, there are no people who can still start a successful business, except for Chu Shijian.

Such a person is worthy of admiration!

Later, Wang Shi, Liu Chuanzhi, Ma Yun and other Chinese entrepreneurs praised him, and often visited, which shows his status in the Chinese business community.

Before dealing with the problem of Delong, Guo Shouyun read a lot of information on the major enterprise groups in China in the eighties and nineties, and when he turned to Chu Shijian, he remembered the legends of this big man in later generations, so he had this visit.

"You're not going to let him go back out of the mountain to help you, are you?" Qiu Yanyun said in surprise.

"I think. But people don't want to!"

It is said that successful people have similarities. Chu Shijian can have an everlasting career, so he naturally has his reasons. For such a person, Guo Shouyun certainly does not skimp on opportunities. However, in the memory of the previous life, so many people have visited this fossil-level figure in the Chinese business world, and there must be many invitations to him to come out of the mountain again, but they have never heard that this 'Shi Lian Po' has taken a step out of Ailao Mountain, which shows that they have all been rejected.

"You're so optimistic about him, if I'm not mistaken, he's in his seventies now!"

"Some people are mediocre all their lives, but some people will still succeed in the future even if they fail temporarily! ”

"You haven't seen him again, how can you be so sure?"

"I haven't seen him before. However, I have read his operation information about the Red Tower, and a person who can do it himself, and is willing to share the weal and woe with the workers, is serious and cautious, and runs a handicraft workshop into the largest modern tobacco company in Asia, of course, deserves recognition. ”

Looking at his expression, Qiu Yanyun was stunned for a moment, "Hearing you say this, I'm also a little curious." Why don't you take me with you?"

"Aren't you going to Teng~ to rush to pick up the goods?"

"There's someone in charge over there, and I used to just oversee. And it's still early, it doesn't matter how many days it is late. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Then you have to sit down and get ready, there is no airport in Yu~Xi, it takes two hours to drive there, and we have to go into the mountains, maybe we will have to stay there at night." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not as delicate as you think!"

"Whatever you want, but I remind you that it's best to change your shoes. It's not a good idea to climb a mountain in high heels. ”

"Of course. People are not fools. But how about you go shopping with me when you get off the plane?"

"I'm not interested, you go by yourself!" Guo Shouyun decisively refused.

"Hey, I really don't understand anything about the fragrance and cherish the jade!"

……

The five-hour plane from the Demon Capital Daokun ~ Ming flew down, and the time was already in the afternoon. Guo Shouyun, who had already had lunch on the plane, was not hungry. However, after accompanying Qiu Yanyun to buy sportswear and change into sportswear in the afternoon, the time was close to evening, considering that the mountain road was difficult, if you want to go to Ailao Mountain, you can only wait until tomorrow.

The group found a hotel to stay in, and drove straight to Yu~ Creek the next day. Yu~Xi is less than 80 kilometers away from Kun~Ming, but if you go to Xinping County from Yu~Xi, it is more than 100 kilometers, and the infrastructure in China in this era is not as developed as in later generations, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk. They set out in the morning and did not arrive in Xin~Ping County until noon.

I had lunch in the county seat at noon, and it took another hour in the afternoon to come to the foot of Ailao Mountain. However, even if there was preparation in advance, in this era when there was no Gaode map and Baidu, Guo Shouyun was also worn out, and he finally found the right place after asking all the way.

"This is it! The Chu Shijian you are looking for lives here. ”

Following the direction of the farmer's finger, Guo Shouyun saw three tiled houses surrounded by green trees.

"Thank you, uncle!"

"You're welcome. The honest peasant uncle waved his hand, and then looked at Guo Shouyun and his party curiously, "What are you looking for Lao Chu for, won't you also come to take a photo with him?"

"Group photo?" Guo Shouyun was stunned for a moment.

"That's right! Since Lao Chu lives here to grow oranges, decent people from outside will come to see him in a few days. It's usually a matter of taking a few photos, asking and leaving. We've all seen it too much. ”

"I see. But you call him Lao Chu, do you know what he does?"

"I don't know. But according to rumors in the village, Lao Chu was a big official before, and later he was arrested for corruption and was pushed to the end. Now after being released, go home and farm. The farmer uncle, who is already in his forties, said with a sense of matter.

Guo Shouyun smiled and didn't continue.

"Matthew!"

The latter understood, and once again took out two hundred Huaxia coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the peasant uncle.

"Oh, that's embarrassing. I've already received money from you once before. ”

Having said that, he didn't let go of his grip on the two hundred dollars.

"That's another thank you for this!"

"Hehe, hey, hey, hey. At first glance, you are a big man from outside, with money. In that case, then you're welcome. After putting two hundred yuan in his trouser pocket, "Later, if you still need to lead the way, look for me and give you a bargain!"

Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded.

"You're too generous, too. It cost three hundred to lead the second road!" Qiu Yanyun said.

"It doesn't matter. I think it's fun!"

"Fun?"

Looking at her stunned eyes, Guo Shouyun shook his head. In his memory, the profession of leading the way seems to have been a matter of the last century, and now that he sees it again, he has a little feeling of reunion after a long absence. Of course, Qiu Yanyun didn't understand this feeling, and Guo Shouyun couldn't say it.

"Let's go, now that we've found a place, let's not delay. ”

Following the dirt road paved with cinders, Guo Shouyun came to the front of the tiled house.

This is a typical rural courtyard. In the middle is a three-room tiled house, and the front is fenced off by a fence wall, and about 200 square meters of fields, most of which are planted with seasonal vegetables, and a few are enclosed to raise two pigs.

After a brief look at the courtyard, Guo Shouyun walked to the gate of the courtyard that was simply tied up with bamboo strips. The gate was not locked, but was simply bent with an iron bar to make a simple hook that could barely close the door, and as for preventing outsiders from entering, it was impossible.

Of course, even if the iron general guards the door, this fence that only reaches the chest of an adult cannot prevent people at all. Obviously, the owner did this because he felt that his family had nothing of value at all, and he was not afraid of thieves at all.

"Anyone?"

Guo Shouyun shouted inside.

After half a sound didn't move, Matthew said, "Boss, why don't I go in and have a look?"

"We are visiting, if we don't have the permission of the host's family, how can we casually break into other people's homes?" Guo Shouyun shook his head and said.

"I don't think they're at home. Qiu Yanyun said.

Guo Shouyun turned to look at the orange grove behind him that was lush and almost full of hills, such a big place, there were only a few of them, how to find it.

Just as he was about to go up the mountain, there was a faint sound of talking from the orange grove not far away. Immediately afterwards, a faint figure appeared in front of Guo Shouyun's eyes, but before he could take a look, the fierce barking of the dog had already arrived.

After a short time, two black and yellow earth dogs rushed out of the orange grove. Matthew stepped forward with a few bodyguards and blocked Guo Shouyun behind him. He who had been on the battlefield had a bad aura on his body that was difficult for outsiders to detect, but for sensitive animals, he could feel it, so he listened to Guo Shouyun and them five meters away.

However, the barking of the two earth dogs alerted the people who came down from the mountain.

"Lao Chu, it seems that someone is at home?" the old woman was surprised when she saw the faint figure at the bottom of the mountain.

Wearing a straw hat, an old navy blue tunic, and some mud on the rolled up cuffs, Chu Shijian answered calmly with a hoe. In the two years since he was released on medical parole, countless people have come to the door under various banners. Some of them took into account their feelings for many years and came to visit sincerely. Some just want to pick up the hype of his fame. For the former, he is naturally good at receiving, and for the latter, he naturally copes with it and sends people away.

Along the sheep intestine trail down the mountain, when he came to his house, Chu Shijian also saw the comer. The first thing that caught your eye was definitely the sturdy bodyguards standing in front. But just look at their looks and know that they are foreigners. Although his friends of Lao Chu also have foreigners, they are only business partners when he was the general manager of Hongta Group, and they are not real friends. Now that he has a lawsuit on his back, these friends have long been broken. I haven't been here for two years, and I haven't had a single yellow-haired one.

Looking around them, Chu Shijian saw a man and a woman standing behind, the man was tall, wearing gray sportswear, a pair of travel shoes under his feet, and a head of spiritual broken hair, looking about twenty years old from his appearance, but his temperament was extremely calm, and his eyes revealed a rare vicissitudes of this age. Although he just stood there casually, he revealed a majesty that had been in the top position for a long time.
