Chapter 46 Public and Private Interests
Unlike the last time he visited the Wang family, Qin Ran drove there with a whistle all the way today. www.biquge.info Pen & Fun Pavilion couldn't go to the door empty-handed during the Chinese New Year, so he selected two bottles of 20-year-old wines that had just been acquired from a French winery. The Wang family has no shortage of valuables, so the things sent are enough to reflect the identity and have a unique heart.
The Wang family gave a high-standard reception to Qin Ran's visit, which can be seen from Wang Hongyi, who was in a wheelchair, personally going out to greet him, Wang Yaxuan pushed his father's wheelchair, and a dark purple one-piece winter dress with a sapphire pendant was even more noble.
When Qin Ran brought the red wine, Wang Hongyi saw at a glance where it was produced, and the quaint wine bottle was engraved with the unique regional seal of the Bordeaux appellation. He has a unique ability to taste red wine, but unfortunately Qin Ran is a layman, so he has to act as a student to listen to him.
Knowing that Qin Ran had acquired a winery, Wang Hongyi shouted that he would go on vacation to visit in person after his body recovered, and invited Qin Ran to accompany him when he arrived.
The elders wanted to come to the door in front of him, and Qin Ran, as the host, naturally couldn't refuse, so he agreed to travel to Europe with the Wang family next time.
Seeing this, Wang Yaxuan's mother privately extended a thumbs up to Wang Hongyi, praising him for his strategy and creating more opportunities for her daughter to get in touch with Qin Ran.
In fact, Wang Hongyi has long admired Qin Ran, and he can't stand his wife always blowing the wind on the side, and he also feels that if he really has to choose a man to be his son-in-law, Qin Ran is the best candidate among them.
The opportunity is given, it depends on whether the two are fate together.
Staying and waiting, the royal family members excused themselves and retreated, and Qin Ran and Wang Yaxuan were left in the living room.
"You, you, just now, my dad is one of the experts in the wine circle."
Wang Yaxuan couldn't help but smile when she saw Qin Ran's embarrassment just now.
"You know, I'm deliberately cowardly, and the best thing for connoisseurs is to teach juniors. Don't you see that when your father talks about red wine, he is full of interest as if he has drunk a fairy spring, and he can't stop talking about the surging river. ”
The two were alone, and Qin Ran was naturally not to be left behind in terms of tongue.
At the dinner, Wang Hongyi formally proposed to repurchase Yinguang International shares from Qin Ran, and after half a year of rest, Yinguang Group's capital flow has been fully alleviated, and the Wang family has a surplus of funds to repurchase.
Qin Ran naturally nodded and agreed, the original intervention in the battle of Yinguang Group was to relieve the Wang family, and now that he can withdraw in exchange for a large amount of cash, why not. However, Wang Hongyi hopes that Qin Ran will maintain a 10% stake and act as a strategic investor in the Wang family. Yinguang Group is optimistic about the future, and an unshakable position has been formed in the edible oil market, and Qin Ran agreed to the request for strategic holdings.
When Jiangzhou was having a good time, across the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Ye Linghan was sitting alone on the windowsill and boredly watching the crowd coming and going downstairs.
Whether it was Christmas or the Chinese New Year, she did not return to China to reunite with her family, and stayed in a strange country to bear loneliness alone.
Dang Hongxia was preparing dinner on the side, and in addition to her, there was another three-person agent security team on standby next door. As a descendant of a prominent red family, her father's budding shade allowed her to enjoy protection beyond all her peers throughout her life.
"It's hard for you, so you can't go back to China, and you want to live with me in this strange country."
Like a nanny, and like a bosom sister, Dang Hongxia accompanied herself to the strange United States without regrets, and Ye Linghan had a deep apology for her. Christmas and Spring Festival, the two most important festivals, have not returned, and usually there is no idea of returning to China.
"It's nothing, the daily subsidy in the United States is many times higher than in China, and we all say that if we return to China in four years, we can buy a house in Tianjing with subsidies."
Ye Linghan was in a bad mood, and Dang Hongxia naturally knew how to answer in order to reduce the burden on the other party as much as possible.
The Li family all knew the reason why Ye Linghan did not return to China, and she could only be treated with heart disease, she was unwilling to set foot on the sad place again, so she could only wait for time to dispel all this haze.
Li Ruixian, as the initiator, is more concerned about his sister Ye Linghan's study and life in a foreign country. He once consulted with a top psychologist in China to analyze Ye Linghan's psychological condition at the moment.
People may suffer from depression due to great setbacks in their lives. It's that negative emotions have been accumulated for a long time, the brain does not secrete chemicals that make people happy, and the body is always in a bad state. Over time, the patient will no longer feel happy, and will always be in a wave of depression, apathetic and misanthropic, and in severe cases, may seek suicidal relief.
After listening to the doctor's introduction, Li Ruixian was really in a cold sweat, so he deliberately paid attention to Dang Hongxia and always paid attention to Ye Linghan's every move, especially the ups and downs of his sister's mood. Every month, a record will be sent back to China for him to review and monitor.
In the records, from the time he went abroad to the present, Ye Linghan has not laughed heartily once, and the whole person has been depressed. Although she never missed classes, she was never able to concentrate on her studies and was slow to integrate into the new foreign learning environment. It was as if she was gradually wandering away from this world, stepping into the darkness of the unknown.
For this reason, Li Ruixian specially instructed Dang Hongxia to take care of Ye Linghan's spiritual world, and strive to pull her out of the haze of the past. The conversation just now was the result of Dang Hongxia's inspiration, she wanted to make Ye Linghan happy as much as possible, and it didn't matter how much grievance she suffered.
As soon as he came out of the Lantern Festival, Qin Ran received a call from Hudong, asking him to rush over. In Hudong, there is no one else who can use the word "requirement" except for Li Zhiguo, the mayor of Hudong.
Jiangnan Group's subway hub project in Hudong has started, and the residential plots auctioned are also being implemented step by step, and Qin Ran is a little confused.
In the Hudong Municipal Government Office Building, Qin Ran met Mayor Li Zhiguo, and compared with the past, he was more full of energy and strength at this time, like a clockwork warrior ready to go. Now the economic form of the entire Hudong City is booming, and the growth of various indicators has far exceeded expectations, ushering in a new wave of development.
Looking at the tall mayor in front of him, Qin Ran's thoughts drifted to the girl who was missing, and he didn't know if Ye Linghan was okay in a foreign country.
"Oh, here's a picture of our family."
Seeing that Qin Ran had been staring at the desk, Li Zhiguo took the initiative to pick up the group photo on the desk and introduced.
When he came back to his senses, Qin Ran saw that Ye Linghan was holding Li Zhiguo's right hand and smiling happily in the photo, as if a tulip was waiting to be released. Of course, there was also Li Ruixian with a serious face next to him, who was standing on Li Zhiguo's left hand, shrouded in his father's tall figure, but the sharp edge of the sword on his body could not be covered.
"Very happy family."
Qin Ran made a short and appropriate comment.
Li Zhiguo's schedule was very tight, so he only left Qin Ran half an hour for talks. He took the initiative to talk about why he was in such a hurry to find Qin Ran over, mainly because of both public and private interests.
In other words, the Hudong City Government is now secretly negotiating with Disney in the United States to establish Disneyland, a theme park with great influence in the world, in Hudong City. As we all know, Disney has already set up a park in Hong Kong, which was officially announced in 1999. It is reported that it will start construction next year and open for business in 2005.
In addition to Hudong City, several other cities in the mainland, such as Tianjing, Jinmen and Rongcheng, have also been striving for the project to be implemented in the mainland. Disney is also optimistic about the vast market in Chinese mainland and has made clear its strategy of landing a new park in the mainland.
Now Hudong City is ahead of its competitors and has reserved a large vacant land in the suburbs for the park, but now the two sides are short of some key details that have not been negotiated.
One of them is that Disney is afraid that the government shareholders will be too strong, and they want to reduce the total amount of investment, and want to bring in third-party shareholders to balance the relationship. Third-party shareholders cannot be required to have a state-owned background, and it is better to involve an independent third party, and this third party also needs to be strong enough to be acceptable to both parties.
For this reason, Li Zhiguo thought of the Jiangnan Group, which is now riding wild in the domestic real estate market, Jiangnan Group has a foreign investment background and has a good relationship with the domestic government, and is a suitable candidate that can be accepted by both parties.
He first had to seek the opinions of Jiangnan Group, after all, the construction budget of Hong Kong Disneyland is as high as 23 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the investment amount of Hudong Disneyland is only a lot more, which is expected to be more than 26 billion yuan. Hudong hopes to finalize the project as soon as possible, and strive to open the park at the same time as the 2008 Tianjing Olympic Games.
It is only 2002, and it is optimistically estimated that it will not open until 2008, and inflation must be taken into account, and it is now estimated that the investment of 26 billion yuan will at least exceed 30 billion yuan by then.
In terms of return on investment, China's real estate market has officially entered a golden decade, and the capital invested of 1 billion yuan can be doubled in a year. But if it is invested in the Disney project, it will take 6 years to build, and it will take at least 10 years to pay off, which is not cost-effective from an economic point of view.
But if you can participate in the Disney project, it will be an honor for Jiangnan Group and a symbol of strength. The share of third-party shareholders is about 10%, which means that Jiangnan Group needs to invest 3 billion yuan in this project as a long-term investment. However, Jiangnan Wine Tourism is quite suitable for the Disney project, and the development process of globalization in the future needs a benchmark example.
After a brief thought, Qin Ran agreed in principle to the plan to participate in the Hudong Disney project, but then it depends on whether Disney agrees to the partner proposed by the Hudong Municipal Government.
Okay, don't do it, don't regret it, anyway, there are still a lot of suitable real estate projects in the world, if not, Jiangnan Group will build its own park to fight Disney in the future.
Li Zhiguo instructed that Disney's high-level delegation, led by Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Iger, will visit Hudong in half a month to conduct a new round of negotiations. At that time, I hope that Qin Ran can try to vacate the schedule as much as possible to participate in the meeting between the two sides.
In this regard, since he agreed to invest in the intention, Qin Ran will definitely attend the talks.
After talking about official business, Li Zhiguo began to talk about personal matters, that is, a recent letter was submitted to his desktop, which gave him a headache.
As we all know, the 2002 Football World Cup will be jointly held in Japan and South Korea this summer, and the national football team will attract the collective attention of the people of the whole country.
The enthusiasm of the Chinese people for football has been gradually increasing with the approach of the World Cup, and Li Zhiguo is not shy about admitting that he is a die-hard football fan, and now this letter is related to football.
This is an application report written by Xu Bao, a veteran of domestic football, who has coached the Hudong First Division football team and won many championships, and has also experienced many teams in the football circle for a long time. One third of the national football team that has historically broken out of Asia this time are disciples he has coached.
Xu Bao wrote in the report that in recent years, he has traveled to different teams and found that domestic football has entered the evil path of quick success. Although the national football team has now reached the World Cup finals, these are actually the foundations laid more than ten years ago. Now, all teams do not pay attention to the cultivation of youth echelons, and fall into the vicious circle of blindly pursuing high-priced foreign aid to coax well-known domestic players, and are reluctant to invest resources at the youth training level. According to his prediction, if this trend continues, at least 6 to 8 years for Chinese football to pay for the cost of the current delay has come to a standstill, because the future generation of players has been delayed. Therefore, he decided to use his meager efforts to make a predictive remedy for Chinese football, build a football school in Hudong that completely refers to the world-famous Barcelona club La Masia training camp, and select potential football seedlings in the country to lay a good foundation training from an early age, so as to prepare for the take-off of Chinese football in 10 years.
He has limited ability to build a football school alone, and hopes that the Hudong Municipal Government can strongly support it and plant the seeds of hope for the future of Chinese football.
The words are sincere, from the bottom of my heart, after reading Xu Bao's letter, Qin Ran felt the pure heart of this football veteran. Chinese football, how rotten it will be in the next few years, that is, the fans are too lazy to scold and don't care at all, Qin Ran knows it in his heart.
Players are like leeks, stubble after stubble, if the foundation is not laid well, and new ones do not grow, then this stubble will be basically wasted, wasting the fans' time for several years.
Li Zhiguo's meaning is also very clear, and he hopes that Qin Ran, a successful entrepreneur, can help this football veteran who loves football from the bottom of his heart. It is impossible for the government to directly invest money to build a football school, so it can only coordinate and arrange it from the side.
Li Zhiguo has high expectations for this football school, he doesn't want Qin Ran to just invest money and put it on the shelf, and hopes to explore a new path suitable for the development of Chinese football. In principle, he approved a piece of land as the site of the football school, but a series of subsequent actions require the entry of capital and the use of market-oriented operations to achieve market-oriented results.
Just think of it as a social welfare investment, Qin Ran nodded again and responded to the matter.
Seeing this, Li Zhiguo asked the secretary to quickly notify Xu Bao to come over, so that he could contact Qin Ran about how to build this football school.
I met Xu Bao, a football veteran born in Hudong City, who was nearly 60 years old, his hair was spotlessly combed, and he wore a pair of dark glasses with a proud face.
Qin Ran was looking at him, and he was also looking at Qin Ran, after all, many football clubs are now being taken down by capital predators and becoming victims of their utilitarianism, which is inconsistent with Xu Bao's football philosophy.
"Hello, Director Xu."
took the initiative to address each other, after all, in football, Qin Ran is a real junior. When Xu Bao led the Hudong football team to win the championship of the Chinese First Division Football League, he was still studying in Jiangzhou.
Xu Bao is not a refusal, he is qualified to choose investors, but the investor in front of him is personally recommended by Mayor Li of Hudong.
Sitting down, Qin Ran didn't talk nonsense, he truthfully said that he had no football experience, but he still knew some knowledge of shopping mall management, that is, he wanted to let professionals do professional things. If you want to succeed, you must endure loneliness, and he agrees with Xu Bao's football philosophy that started as a child. He has no requirements for the construction and grades of the school, and let Xu Bao do everything.
The first impression was not bad. Xu Bao proposed that investors should not interfere with his teaching, he has absolute authority in the selection and use of players, and should use the international advanced La Masia training camp model to cultivate future football talents. Therefore, he asked Qin Ran to start registering a football club, train the team through competitions, and participate in competitions at all levels as young players grow up from the lower leagues, and finally be able to participate in the national league when the players become adults.
The football school, that is, the football base, all refer to the international first-class standards, taken from the La Masia training camp, the initial investment needs 40 million, and the annual operating expenses need 3.6 million, at least 10 years of continuous investment.
It's so expensive, calculated that this football base will consume at least 100 million yuan of capital in 10 years, enough to build how many hope primary schools, Qin Ran felt a little painful in his heart when he heard it. He didn't know what this football base would bring him in return, since he had promised Li Zhiguo, Qin Ran had no choice but to continue to take over.
In the end, after negotiations, it was decided that Xu Bao would take 20% of the shares with technology, and Jiangnan Group would bear all the remaining investment, accounting for 80%. Hudong City will transfer the land to Jiangnan Group in the form of public welfare project allocation, and they will build the country's top youth football base in the suburbs of Hudong City.
The Disney delegation arrived in Hudong as scheduled, and they will continue to hold a new round of negotiations with the Hudong municipal government. Hearing that the Hudong Municipal Government recommended Jiangnan Group, they didn't know anything about Jiangnan Group, but they still let Qin Ran and them participate to see what the outcome of the talks between the two sides was.
Taking advantage of the half-month preparation time, Qin Ran asked the company's planning department to prepare the relevant materials of the Disney Company, as well as the advantages of his own company, to see if he could impress the Disney Company with his strength. After all, The Disney Company is a company with a heritage of nearly 100 years, and they are very selective in their choice of partners.
The closed-door meeting was on the Jiangnan Group and the Disney Company, so the problem was much more direct.
Jiangnan Group first briefly introduced its own company, and heard that Jiangnan Group was established less than 6 years ago, and Disney personnel frowned. When they heard that the company's annual growth rate and the valuation of its subsidiaries had exceeded 30 billion, and it was about to be listed in Hong Kong next year, their expressions eased a little. Seeing the liveliness of Jiangnan Square and the atmosphere of Jiangzhou Golf Course, Disney people began to have some interest. Later, they were introduced to the Italian ski resort, the French winery resort, and the Diga Golden Turtle Tourist Island, and they began to focus on it, because it was similar to Disneyland. In the end, the projector showed the picture of the tallest building in Tianjing, "China Zun", and the members of the delegation, including Mr. Egger, repeatedly asked Qin Ran whether the construction of the building on the screen had started, instead of staying in the drawings, and received a very positive answer, before they talked to each other and exclaimed that this was a magician-like development speed.
In just six years, Chinese mainland has given birth to a super-fast-growing enterprise, which is an incredible miracle in the world.
Chinese mainland is a magical land that will bring miracles, Qin Ran began to introduce in fluent English at this time, and his current identity is a successful businessman who has invested from Diga to China. Qin Ran briefly talked about the setbacks and hardships encountered in domestic investment based on some cases, so as to get closer to Disney, which is also a foreign investor. At the same time, he hinted that if the Hudong Municipal Government violates the rules in accordance with the market rules, he will side with Disney, which is also a foreign investor.
Qin Ran also proposed that if the Disney project invites Jiangnan Group to join, then they will calculate the amount of capital contribution required by the shares at one time, so as to avoid the other party's worry that Jiangnan Group will not be able to reinvest in the later stage.
During the meeting, Qin Ran also invited the Disney delegation to visit Jiangnan Group to take a look at its most advanced information management equipment, and at the same time to explore representative projects such as Jiangnan Plaza.
Qin Ran finally threw out an invitation to Disney Pictures to enter China. Jiangnan Film and Television has made a large number of mergers and acquisitions across the country, and it is known that it will occupy 20% of the number of domestic screens at the end of the year, especially Jiangnan Film and Television and the production and distribution of the film and television industry, Disney is more interested in Jiangnan Group. As we all know, the main business of the Disney Group is film and television, and through the continuous creation of IP intellectual property copyrights, it has created characters and idols in the classic fairy tale world and created a whole industry chain.
Unexpectedly, Jiangnan Group has the opportunity to deepen cooperation with Disney Company in many important areas, and the members of the delegation, including Mr. Egger, chairman of the board, are willing to further deepen cooperation with Jiangnan Group.
Jiangnan Group's frank and confident attitude has been recognized by Disney, but they still need to hold a board meeting to negotiate with the board of directors to invite Jiangnan Group into the Disneyland project.
In this regard, Qin Ran expressed his understanding and waited for good news at any time, even if the Disneyland project did not cooperate, there was room for cooperation between the two sides in film and television and tourism.
Before you know it, Jiangnan Group began to further expand its business scope, infiltrate other levels of society, and begin to become an influential company. (To be continued.) )
