Resource Tycoon Reborn

Fang Mingyuan happily agreed, which undoubtedly made the four Gilchrists extremely happy. Being able to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity like Fang Mingyuan may have unexpected benefits for them personally in the future.

Fan Mingyuan is also happy to see this result. Although he has now established a foothold in Hollywood, in the United States, just having connections in the entertainment industry is far from enough. Fan Mingyuan needs the United States.

This large market requires a steady stream of funds, talents, and technology for the development of the Fang family.

Although Gilchrist and the others are not the top figures in American society, they can definitely be regarded as the social elite of the United States. They have rich connections. Fang Mingyuan does not expect to make much money in the United States by cooperating with them, but

At least when it comes to cooperation with the University of Washington, both parties can be more candid. And that's enough.

Anyway, for Fangjia Restaurant, there is still a lot of room for development in the East Asian market alone. Cooperating with Gilchrist and the others to develop the North American market will save a lot of manpower and material resources, and also reduce a lot of trouble. The American government

Although the food appearance of the personnel is much more hidden and elegant than those in China, and they do not have such greedy appetites, the regulations and requirements for catering companies in the United States are also much more complicated than those in China. With local snakes to cooperate, a lot of things can be saved in this regard.

.Fang Mingyuan's nod undoubtedly made the atmosphere at the table more lively.

Gilchrist, who successfully completed the school board's commission and found a new investment project for himself, was naturally relieved. Fangjia Restaurant was able to open 3,000 branches in China, and also entered Russia, South Korea and

Japan's catering market is enough to prove its strength, and Chinese restaurants in the United States belong to the mid-to-high-end level of the catering industry. In his view, this cooperation project will be a disguised money printing machine in the future!

"Director Gilchrist, I heard from Andrew that you were still a director of Starbucks before your retirement?" Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said.

Gilchrist raised his eyebrows and said with joy: "What, Fang, are you also interested in investing in Starbucks? If you are interested, I think the company's board of directors will definitely agree!" He didn't believe this.

It's nonsense. If a famous Hollywood screenwriter, a famous Japanese cartoonist, a game producer, the chairman of sogo0 Co., Ltd., and the founder of China Carrefour Group want to invest in Starbucks, Starbucks will issue additional shares and make him a shareholder.

With his joining, if nothing else, it will be of immeasurable help for Starbucks to expand into the Chinese and Japanese markets. One is the world's second largest economy, and the other is the world's most populous and most promising country.

The economic interests involved in the market are so great that they are enough to tempt anyone in the world.

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Actually, I have been a shareholder of Starbucks as early as 1990. I only held shares in the name of the company." Fang Mingyuan mentioned a company name, and Gilchrist couldn't help but be surprised.

, that is the fifth largest shareholder of Starbucks, and also has a seat on the board of directors.

"Fang, you hide it so well!" Bryant was stunned for a long time, then looked at Fang Mingyuan and said meaningfully. Among the people present, he was the only one who knew that Fang Mingyuan is still the third largest shareholder of Microsoft!

Fang Mingyuan shrugged slightly and said: "There is no way. There is an old saying in ancient my country, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. I don't want everyone to look at me as a monster. What's more, there is a precedent like Bill!" Microsoft Corporation After going public, Bill's wealth skyrocketed, but he also became the subject of many media attentions. It can be said that you must pay attention to every move, word and deed he makes, otherwise, you don't know how the reporters will publicize it.

Fang Mingyuan is younger than Bill, and he lives in China, a country that was originally considered closed by Europeans and Americans. If he had not always kept a low profile and never appeared in the media with his true face, otherwise he would definitely be the same person now.

It is also the target that the media focuses on.

"How did those two people talk with Mr. Gilchrist at noon today?" Fang Mingyuan continued to ask.

"Fang, I think you can call me Kidd. Now that we are partners, let's stop being so quarrelsome!" Gilchrist continued, "This is just our first contact. I still need to know more about them!

"

"The two of them are indeed well-known entrepreneurs in Fengyuan. One made his fortune in the catering industry, and the other made his fortune in the tourism industry. So far, their credibility is still good. I personally welcome Starbucks to

A branch appears here." Fang Mingyuan said calmly.

However, he then changed the subject and said: "Guys, after dinner, do you plan to rest here tonight, or go back to Fengyuan?" Their original plan was to rush back to Fengyuan at night, but looking at Bryant,

With the novel energy in the afternoon, Fang Mingyuan felt that he had better make plans for them to stay overnight.

"Stay!" Shania was the first to shout. She hadn't seen enough of this ancient city of Pingchuan. She liked this kind of exotic houses and buildings more than the foreign teachers' small building.

Bryant swallowed the meat in his mouth, took another sip of wine and said, "I'll stay too!"

Gilchrist and Middleton looked at each other, and Middleton said: "Vice President Ginobili is still at Fengyuan, so our absence won't affect anything, right?"

Gilchrist laughed. Middleton was telling the truth. Since he and Fang Mingyuan had reached a consensus, and Bryant was the facilitator of this matter, then the rest of the inspection process could be

It's just putting on airs and going through the motions. Where are people like myself, and what's the significance?

Fang Mingyuan also laughed, and Lin Rong stood up and went outside to order people to prepare a place for Gilchrist and the others.

Early the next morning, Fang Mingyuan took Lin Rong and others in four luxury off-road vehicles and headed north from the ancient city of Pingchuan to Jinning. After the October holiday, Shi Wensheng was officially transferred to Jinning as the municipal party committee secretary. Fang Mingyuan had already

He promised his uncle that after he was transferred to Jinning, he would go to Jinning City in person to advise him on the future development plan of Jinning City. Although Fang Mingyuan already had a general development direction in mind for the future development of Jinning, but

What you can see on paper is shallow, but you still need to go to the local area in person to have a more accurate grasp of the local situation. He had to postpone a lot of things to free up such a few days.

The convoy passed Tongyi at high speed and entered Tongchuan. The road conditions became much worse. After passing through Tongchuan and continuing northward, the speed of the vehicle became even slower after entering the Qinbei area.

The road conditions here are worse than those in Tongchuan!

Fang Mingyuan and Lin Rong were both a little drowsy while sitting in the car. After a busy day yesterday, Bryant and his party were even more happy in the business district of Pingchuan Ancient City after finishing their meal. If they hadn't arrived at Pingchuan Ancient City and closed their doors later

After going out of business, Fang Mingyuan believed that they would continue shopping.

The few people who returned to the Fang family's yard were still in high spirits, and they took Fang Mingyuan and Lin Rong to sit in the back garden until midnight. Then, under Fang Mingyuan's persuasion, they went back to their room to rest.

Before going to bed, the two of them had to deal with the pile of documents on Fang Mingyuan's desk. As a result, they didn't rest until about two o'clock in the morning. They set off for Jinning again at about six o'clock in the morning. Both of them were still thirsty.

When I was still sleeping, my eyelids would fight when I was sitting in the car.

At noon, the group had dinner in a county town along the way. After getting in the car, the two of them continued to doze off.

I don't know how long it took, but the car suddenly stopped, and the two people who had been sleeping restlessly woke up immediately.

"Brother Chen, why don't you leave?" It takes more than seven or eight hours to walk from Pingchuan to Jinning. Fang Mingyuan didn't think he could reach his destination so quickly.

"There seems to be a car accident ahead, the road is blocked!" Chen Zhong frowned. Fang Mingyuan then rubbed his eyes, patted Lin Rong who was lying on him, and asked her to sit up, and then he sat up straight.

Lin Rong yawned and said vaguely: "...Where are you? What time is it?"

"We have just entered the boundary of Jinning City. It is now... eleven o'clock in the afternoon." Chen Zhong glanced at the watch and said. According to the original plan, it should be more than an hour away from the center of Jinning, but now

It seems that it is obviously too late.

"It's so slow. We've been walking for nine hours before we entered Jinning!" Lin Rong muttered, "For nine hours, we are almost entering Ji Province by taking the expressway."

Fang Mingyuan grinned. If not for the downturn in coal prices, this place would have always been considered a backward and traffic-congested place in Qinxi Province. However, now a highway is being built. By next year, from Fengyuan to Shanxi

Ning's highway condition will be much better.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help scratching his head. Looking out from the car, he saw a long dragon in front of him, extending forward. It was two to three hundred meters long as far as he could see! And there were no vehicles on the other side of the road. It was obviously

Both directions were blocked.

"How long will this traffic jam last?" Lin Rong also saw the scene in front of her and couldn't help pouting. After riding in a car for most of the day, even a luxury off-road vehicle would definitely be uncomfortable. She still wanted to arrive in Shanxi as soon as possible.

Ning was resting, but ended up stuck here.

Fang Mingyuan pushed open the car door, jumped out, and moved his body. On the other side, Lin Rong also got out of the car. Seeing the two of them getting out of the car, people in the three cars behind also jumped out. (Not finished yet.
