Just when the construction of Jinghu Ranch was in full swing, Xiao Feng received a call from Zhu Xu, saying that the senior management of 'Long Xiangrui' planned to go to Ginkgo Village to inspect the situation of Jinghu Company on the spot, and then decide whether to give Jinghu Company a loan.
After all, when it comes to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds, the top management of 'Long Xiangrui' can't be too cautious, besides, the connection between 'Long Xiangrui' and Xiao Feng is limited to a few gold transactions, and they don't know much about the situation of Jinghu Company.
On the phone, Zhu Xu only said that the senior management of 'Long Xiangrui' would go to Ginkgo Village to negotiate with Xiao Feng in the near future, but the specific timetable was not given.
In this regard, Xiao Feng was also helpless, after all, he could not influence the high-level of 'Long Xiangrui', and Zhu Xu was able to do this, which was enough to be righteous.
'Long Xiangrui' would not be able to get the loan for a while, so Xiao Feng had no choice but to instruct Yang Yuanhang and Ma Wanli to submit loan applications to the commercial banks in Yaozhou in the name of Jinghu Company and Jinghu Ranch respectively.
Now, the grand blueprint of Jinghu Ranch has kicked off, and it is naturally impossible for Xiao Feng to interrupt the ranch's exhibition plan due to financial problems. Xiao Feng has already made up his mind that once the fundraising process is blocked, he will find some works from the Zizhu Space collection and throw them at the auction market to raise enough money for the exhibition at Jinghu Ranch.

"It seems that our children are still making a lot of noise!" On the flight from Haizhou to Yaozhou, an old man with white Hao pointed to some reports in the newspaper and said to the old man sitting next to him.
"Create the best milk source in China!" The gray head of the old man in Tang costume made him look much younger, and he continued: "But whether this is hype or real material, it remains to be seen!"
In the seat behind the two old men, Zhu Xu tucked his huge body into the narrow seat of the economy class with difficulty, and his face was depressed.
The two old men are the actual helmsmen of 'Long Xiangrui', and the old man Hao among them is Zhu Xu's own grandfather, so even if Zhu Xu is full of complaints, there is nowhere to vent.
Usually Zhu Xu takes first class when he goes out, and he will also take business class when he is not happy, this is not because he is greedy for enjoyment, but the seat in economy class is too small, and Zhu Xu, who weighs more than 200 pounds, is uncomfortable to sit on.
However, with the two old men who started with diligence and thrift, Zhu Xu's 'hedonism' has no chance. Fortunately, the flight from Haizhou to Yaozhou takes less than three hours, which is a great blessing in disguise!
If it was those intercontinental voyages, letting Zhu Xu sit on an economic seat would simply kill him!
After Zhu Xu returned to Haizhou with 49 gold bricks, he reported the borrowing intention of Jinghu Ranch to the senior management of the board of directors of 'Long Xiangrui'.
As the largest shareholder of 'Long Xiangrui' company, Zhu Mingli, Zhu Xu's grandfather, and Yan Kuan, the second largest shareholder, were very interested in Xiao Feng, who had a transaction volume of nearly 100 million yuan with 'Long Xiangrui' recently, and decided to personally go to Ginkgo Village to inspect and decide whether to give Jinghu Company a loan.
As a century-old account, 'Long Xiangrui' was involved in ticket numbers, pawns and loans in the pre-Qing Dynasty, and even had the prototype of a modern bank at its peak. However, during the period of the Republic of China, various wars and even post-liberation public-private partnerships, the business scope of 'Long Xiangrui' was highly reduced, and finally only the production and sales of gold and silver jewelry remained.
After the reform and opening up, the Zhu family and the Yan family, as the founding families of 'Long Xiangrui', spent a lot of money and energy, and finally took back the ownership of 'Long Xiangrui' from the government.
After nearly 30 years of exhibition, 'Long Xiangrui' has rejuvenated its vitality in the new era, and has become one of the leading brands in the gold jewelry industry in Haizhou and even East China.
However, like the vast majority of Chinese enterprises, 'Long Xiangrui' has been constantly sprouting diversified thinking in the process of exhibition. Since five years ago, 'Long Xiangrui' began to get involved in pawnbroking, small mortgage loans and other businesses, and registered related enterprises, which has become a new profit growth point for 'Long Xiangrui'.
However, the board of directors of 'Long Xiangrui' is not satisfied with this kind of petty fight, they are eager to show their skills in the financial field, and expand the influence of 'Long Xiangrui' while seeking profits.
In this way, the business of providing temporary loans, mortgage loans and other businesses for some private enterprises has been quietly launched, and they have even become an important business component of 'Long Xiangrui'.
In a sense, 'Long Xiangrui' provides loans to private enterprises, which are somewhat suspected of illegal loans, illegal financing, etc., but the Zhu family and the Yan family have very deep connections in Haizhou officialdom, and the local government also turns a blind eye to this.
This time, the large-scale financing plan of Jinghu Ranch is the largest business encountered by 'Long Xiangrui' after getting involved in the financing business, which naturally makes the Zhu family and the Yan family attach great importance to it, which is why this trip to Yaozhou was born.
…………
After the flight arrived at Yaozhou Airport, Zhu Xu was still worried that the two old men would have altitude sickness, but he never thought that the appearance of the two old men was better than Zhu Xu, a fat man, which made the fat man die of shame.
Zhu Xu and his entourage did not stop in Yaozhou, and directly rented a Buick gL8 at the airport and went straight to the county seat of western Yunnan.
Along the way, snow-capped mountains, forests, rivers and various beautiful scenery made the two old men quite amazing, but the bad road conditions of S225 made the faces of the two old men a little ugly.
In addition to the bumpy journey that makes the elderly uncomfortable, the hidden dangers caused by the road conditions are the main reason for the ugly faces of the elderly.
According to Zhu Xu's description, Jinghu is building an area of more than 12oo square kilometers in an attempt to create an international scenic spot. Although the two old people don't know much about tourism, smooth traffic is an important foundation for a scenic spot.
The poor road conditions in western Yunnan alone have already made Zhu Mingli and Yan Kuan discount the prospects of Jinghu Company.
After the car arrived in the county seat of western Yunnan, it did not stop, but turned to S233 and went straight to Ginkgo Village.
In the process of trading with Xiao Feng many times, Zhu Xu has already learned about Ginkgo Village and Jinghu Company through various channels, and he knows that Ginkgo Village now has certain accommodation conditions, and there is no need to waste time in the county seat of western Yunnan.
"Little fat man, go down and ask what's going on?" When the car drove out of the county seat of western Yunnan, Yan Kuan pointed to a small courtyard on the side of the road with the sign of 'S233 Provincial Highway Expansion Project Headquarters', and asked Zhu Xu to go down to inquire about the news.
After Zhu Xu got out of the car, he found that there was a huge construction site, with a large number of building materials piled up, and a deafening noise from the construction machinery coming and going.
"Who are you looking for?" When Zhu Xu was probing his brain at the gate of the headquarters, the guard stopped him in Western Yunnan Mandarin.
"Uncle, let me ask you something!" Zhu Xu took out a bag of China from his pocket, handed one to the uncle, and asked, "What's going on with this engineering headquarters?"
"You're asking the right person about this!" The janitor seemed to be talkative, took a beautiful sip, and said: "There is a milk powder factory in the scenic area to be built in Ginkgo Village, with an investment of hundreds of millions, and the county gritted its teeth and squeezed out part of it from the finance, and applied for subsidies from the higher departments, preparing to expand S233 into a first-class highway!"
The janitor is a retired teacher from the No. 1 Middle School in Yunxi County, and he can't sit still at home, so he runs to the engineering headquarters to see the door, and his eldest son is the director of the Yunxi County Transportation Bureau, serving as the executive deputy commander of the engineering headquarters, so the uncle knows a lot about the S233 and S225 expansion projects.
If Zhu Xu asked others, he might not be able to get such a rich amount of information.
In the Mandarin of Western Yunnan, which is a little difficult to understand by the janitor, Zhu Xu still barely heard the general meaning, the construction of Jinghu Scenic Area and Jinghu Ranch has driven the local transportation construction, and the S225 expansion project will also be started after a while. By next summer, it will only take three hours to travel from Yaozhou Airport to Jinghu Scenic Area.
"Thank you, uncle!" Zhu Xu, who was in a good mood, gave the freshly opened Chinese stuff in his hand to the uncle, and turned to gL8.
As the first 'Long Xiangrui' employee to contact Xiao Feng, Zhu Xu has a good impression of Xiao Feng, and from his personal point of view, he is willing to provide loans to Jinghu Company. It's just that doing business can't be emotional, and Zhu Xu can't play any role in the issue of borrowing.
The local government's investment in transportation construction has undoubtedly increased the probability of success of the Jinghu Scenic Area and Jinghu Ranch, which may become a key factor for the board of directors to consider.
After returning to the car, Zhu Xu wanted to relay what he had seen and heard to the two old men, as objectively as possible, without mixing his subjective views.
After listening to Zhu Xu's words, the two old men were noncommittal, asked the driver to restart the car, and continued to Ginkgo Village.
On the 8o km provincial highway from the county seat of western Yunnan to Ginkgo Village, there are sand and gravel yards and sheds everywhere, indicating that the expansion project of S233 is imminent. Combined with the information collected by Zhu Xu, this proves that the local government has high hopes for the Jinghu Scenic Area and Jinghu Ranch, and it has expressed its support for Jinghu Company in this way.
Zhu Xu and his entourage appeared on the Lancang River steel cable bridge, which stunned the villagers of Ginkgo Village and the staff of Jinghu Company, who were receiving tourists.
During this period of time, most of the tourists to Ginkgo Village are mainly young travelers, and middle-aged people are extremely rare, and the arrival of Zhu Mingli and Yan Kuan is naturally a bit unusual. What's more, Zhu Xu and the other two entourages were serving in front of the two old men in front of the saddle and behind the horse, this kind of scene would generally appear in the recuperation scenic spot where the conditions were ripe, and should not appear in an emerging scenic spot like Ginkgo Village.
Xiao Feng, Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi, who knew Zhu Xu, were busy in Jinghu Ranch, and they didn't know that Zhu Xu had quietly arrived at Ginkgo Village with the decision-making figure of 'Long Xiangrui'.
