Reinventing the Millennium

On the third day after Fang Zhuo returned to China, that is, when there were four days left before the Spring Festival, he contacted Qiu Di and planned to visit his old leader to pay New Year's greetings and connect with him.

Qiu Lanhua was all right, but she specifically asked one thing on the phone not to drive that dazzling Ferrari.

Fang Zhuo felt that he really needed to change to a less conspicuous car.

In the evening, he brought two boxes of tea to Qiu Lanhua's house as usual, and there were already several guests drinking tea at Qiu Lanhua's house.

Fang Zhuo said hello and wished a happy new year.

Judi smiled and took the tea, put it on the table, and then said seriously: "We entrepreneurs in Shanghai will all sit on the left, and the entrepreneurs who have just arrived in Shanghai will sit on the right."

He turned to look at Fang Zhuo and said in shock: "The richest man in the country is here, come on, come on, an entrepreneur like you wants to take the seat."

Fang Zhuo: "..."

I should have brought two pots of orchids. Orchid gifts never go out of style.

Easy and knowing laughter echoed in the living room.

I have long heard that District Chief Qiu and Mr. Xiao Fang have an extraordinary relationship. When we met today, it was true. The way these two greeted each other was unique.

Fang Zhuo doesn't have a large number of guests, and there are four unfamiliar guests here, so he has to maintain his grace.

After a tea party like yesterday, he realized a problem. When the richest man is more aloof and aloof, everyone will respect him more. It's amazing.

The guest of honor was seated, and Qiu Di introduced Fang Zhuo and the four guests. Two of the four were engaged in real estate, one was in infrastructure, and one was in building materials.

"Mr. Fang has become the richest man this time, so you have to take good care of me." Jodi still joked in a natural tone, "I heard that as soon as the rankings came out, several districts were looking forward to your visit, Mr. Fang."

"It's not all the leaders who take care of me. Like yesterday, if Director Li hadn't mentioned a bid invitation, I would have been so confused all day that I couldn't even understand the company's business." Fang Zhuo spread his hands.

Qiu Di refined key words to associate, including the city’s invitation to bid, Director Li, land...

He became more serious and asked, "Are you having sex with Changshi?"

Fang Zhuo was slightly startled, why did he say this?

Cheung Kong, Cheung Kong, oh, Cheung Kong Holdings, also belongs to the Li family.

Last time it was Hutchison Whampoa. Is the invitation for this meeting substantial?

Fang Zhuo really didn't know about this. He just heard Director Li mention in a few words yesterday that there was a good piece of land, and it stands to reason that there would be more than two bidders, so this was not Maoshang.

After the rich man smoothed out his thoughts for just two or three seconds, the other four guests had already been thinking about it for several rounds. They also observed the rich man's face and secretly guessed the true appearance of the matter.

"What do Chang Shimao and I have to do? He is the richest man in China, and I am just the richest man in the country." Fang Zhuo laughed.

The four guests quietly exchanged glances and confirmed one thing, it was done! It’s done! The richest man’s sly smile is proof of this!

Fang Zhuo added the truth: "It's just a coincidence."

The four guests all nodded slightly in their hearts. It was indeed the style of the richest man. You can't look at what the two rich men say, you have to look at what they do.

Judy didn't have too much doubt. He had always known Mr. Fang's enthusiastic distribution. On a ten-point scale, it would be good to get one point for real estate.

The two archived the topic and did not discuss it in depth.

Qiu Di asked about Yike's U.S. listing, and Fang Zhuo briefly talked about some details, such as Nasdaq's electronic clock and media broadcasts. He really didn't know about it before going there, and the people in the living room were even less clear about it. .

After chatting for half an hour, the four guests all stood up and left knowingly. They were persuaded to leave by District Chief Qiu in a farewell manner.

The four guests from real estate, infrastructure, and building materials exchanged greetings with each other outside, then got into their respective cars and slowly drove away from this privileged area.

That night, rumors spread in the Shanghai Real Estate arena before the Lunar New Year, and then became known to more people.

It is said that Yongke Real Estate was invited to bid.

It is said that Yongke Real Estate is going to have a head-on collision with Cheung Kong.

It is said that after seeing a good show, Mr. Fang said that he was determined to win the land.

People with noses and eyes say that Mr. Fang has said that he has no control over other parts of the Li family in the mainland, and Shencheng's business depends on his face.

"District Chief Qiu, do you need to adjust your industrial structure? It's either infrastructure or building materials." Fang Zhuo waited for the guests to leave and said with a smile.

"There is no other way. Infrastructure must be built. I also want to introduce a large-budget fab project, but people look down on us." Qiu Di spread his hands and sighed deeply.

Fang Zhuo nodded: "You can't force things you don't like. Projects have to go in both directions. You can't have a corporate budget but no local enthusiasm."

Qiu Di enthusiastically added tea to the richest man in the country: "The enthusiasm for big costs and big budgets is too high. Sometimes, I also wonder if others can slip some small budgets from their fingers to help improve the industrial structure."

Fang Zhuo thought about it sincerely and said: "The overseas MIGA fund is about to launch a large-scale publicity campaign. Although I have just returned to China these days, I have heard some reports about new policies from the company."

“I heard that Pengcheng came up with the ‘Shenzhen Guotou Pure Heart Collective Fund Trust Plan’, and Dian Province also came out with the ‘Huaxia Dragon Capital Market Collective Fund Trust Plan’ at the end of last year, which is to explore the use of trusts for private equity. "

"Although MIGA Fund has a publicity office here, the policy has always been unclear and there has not been much publicity in the country. This time we can give it a try and cooperate with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank."

Judy was stunned for a few seconds and then said: "Okay, you better come prepared. Those two trust plans, please speak slowly, I will make a note of it, and we will study it at the meeting tomorrow."

Fang Zhuo repeated.

The domestic private equity industry is basically in its infancy. MIGA Fund has an office on the 22nd floor of Jinmao in Pudong, but its operation is slow. Domestic clients' funds are channeled through Xiangjiang to avoid violations.

Shanghai, as one of the domestic financial centers, lags behind others in industry exploration, which is quite a pity for the richest man in the country who came from Shanghai, but when I mentioned it to Qiu Lanhua tonight... it was a pure coincidence.

I originally wanted to take a look at the industry situation and wait for Shanghai to operate spontaneously, but it is not impossible to use it as a New Year gift for Lao Qiu now.

Doing private equity business in the form of trust is not private equity, it is called sunshine private equity.

Funds are custodian by banks, securities are custodian by securities firms, and investment instructions come from private equity, which is indeed more secure in terms of protecting the rights and interests of investors.

MIGA Fund can take the lead in cooperating with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank in Pudong. This small project is at least more reliable than the Hanxin that Lao Qiu found before.

Fang Zhuo briefly talked about the secondary market, MIGA Fund's increase in Chinese concept stocks in the United States and its subprime debt cooperation with the Bank of Washington.

These were things beyond Qiu Lanhua's knowledge, but the chat tonight was not formal. Fang Zhuo talked casually and he listened casually. The two hadn't seen each other for a while, but they didn't show any signs of intimacy.
