The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Before six o'clock in the evening, Yang Dongxu came to the Shangri-La Hotel in Shanghai. With the development of the domestic economy, more and more international hotel chains have begun to settle in the country.

For example, five-star hotel giants such as Shangri-La, GreenTree Inn, and Hilton are paying more and more attention to the Asian market, especially the Chinese market in the Asian market.

And the speed of these hotels entering the mainland is much faster than Li Fuzhen, the three-star princess who created her own hotel brand. Basically, after deciding to invest, the hotel projects are launched in the domestic first-tier cities at the same time. In the past few years, these large hotels can basically be seen in major cities in China.

"Haha, good evening Young Master Yang." As soon as he walked into the lobby on the first floor of the Shangri-La Hotel, Zheng Tianhe greeted him with a smile.

Yang Dongxu quickly walked a few steps and shook hands with the other party with a smile: "Boss Zheng doesn't need to be so polite, you can call me Dongxu or Xuzi."

"Then I'll ask you to teach you Xuzi, and you don't have to be so polite, just call me Old Zheng." Zheng Tianhe said with a big smile.

While talking, he led Yang Dongxu forward, as if he was specially greeted in the lobby. Instead of going upstairs, I went directly to the restaurant of the hotel.

Like this kind of international chain hotel giant, in addition to the more famous hotel management and services. Catering is actually one of the important components of these hotels. For example, the catering service of Shangri-La hotels is a three-star restaurant that has been evaluated by Michelin.

However, Michelin only evaluates Western food, and they are actually laymen for Chinese food. If you want to do business well in China, you must make some localized changes, so Shangri-La has produced high-end Western food and Chinese food, which is also good.

Many of the bosses of this five-nation organization trade meeting are foreigners, so since he organized the bureau himself, Zheng Tianhe is very thoughtful. I booked a room directly at Shangri-La, and let the foreign boss live in directly. Today I asked for another large box in the hotel restaurant. It can be said that the host of my dinner party has considered everything that can be considered very thoughtfully.

After entering the box, seeing that many people had already taken their seats, Yang Dongxu really doubted that he was the last one to arrive.

There were more than a dozen people in the private room, from all walks of life. There are men and women, but basically they are the bosses of various companies, and there are no assistants or secretaries who come in to make up the number.

It is better not to have an assistant or secretary on such an occasion. It is easy to offend people.

"This is Zhong Shan. Our domestic furniture factory can definitely rank among the top three bosses. If you want any furniture, or play with wood, you can find him." Zheng Tianhe introduced each other to the people in the room.

The main purpose of this gathering is to invite people who have invested in Russia to get together and get acquainted with each other, and to help each other if they encounter any problems or difficulties in the future.

The people who were invited were not Zheng Tianhe's strength, but they had been carefully selected, and they were basically representatives of various industries in this investment.

For example, Zhong Shan not only makes good furniture, but also is a big player in the domestic timber market. Not only was Lao Maozi and Japan engaged in timber business, but now the timber business has begun to expand to Southeast Asia, as well as Brazil and Africa.

While introducing each other, they shook hands and said hello to each other. When introducing a slightly bald, tall man, the other party stretched out his hand without waiting for Zheng Tianhe's introduction: "Hi, Boss Yang, I'm Gao Wanlou , Gaowanlou of Tiansheng Pharmaceutical Industry."

"Hello, Boss Gao, I didn't expect to meet you here. Your business is getting bigger and bigger, and you even opened up the Russian medicinal material market." Yang Dongxu smiled and shook hands with the other party.

This is an acquaintance, because Tiansheng Pharmaceutical is a well-known medicinal material company in China. However, they do not produce medicines, and only sell some precious Chinese medicines such as deer antler, ginseng, and Lingzhi.

In addition to the production of common colds and skin diseases, the pharmaceutical factory of the Chinese Medicine Alliance also produces some prescription drugs. Such drugs often require some expensive medicinal materials, so the two parties have a lot of business contacts.

"It would be great if we could get through. The people on Lao Maozi's side are too lazy. The land is so fertile and they don't want to farm it. There are so many precious medicinal materials in the forest and mountains, but they are too lazy to pick them and don't let outsiders touch them. There is nothing except Ka Foreign investors want benefits, but don't do anything about the facts, and don't work hard, it's just reckless." Gao Wanlou scolded with a smile.

In fact, there are quite a few people who see Russia from the same perspective as Gao Wanlou sees Russia. You say that you need resources and technology, and even the technical reserves can still compete with the Yankees.

Not to mention natural resources. Oil and natural gas are the main suppliers in the European market. Not only is there a lot of arable land, but it also makes Chinese people who like farming look envious.

But Russia just can't develop. It's just that there are certain reasons for the US economic blockade that caused this situation, but it is not an absolute reason.

After all, the situation in China is much more difficult than that in Russia, and it has developed if you want nothing? So at first glance, many people feel that the Russians are too lazy to develop with such good innate conditions.

In fact, it is they themselves that really caused Russia's current economic depression. For example, too many oligarchs are a cancer that seriously affects the country's economic development.

While some Russian citizens are lazy, some are actually very hardworking. For example, Russia has always been a major international grain exporter. Every year, China cannot help importing large quantities of food from Europe and the United States. Russia is also one of China's grain import partners.

It's just because Russia has a vast land and few people, and a lot of land has not been mined and cultivated. It is in stark contrast to the ordering dishes that are all grown in the domestic fields. That's why domestic people feel that they are too lazy.

This is actually a cognitive misunderstanding. As for what Gao Wanlou said, he was too lazy to pick the medicinal materials in the forest, and foreigners were not allowed to dig them.

In fact, it is because there are formal channels for the trade of precious medicinal materials in the two countries, and it is illegal to mine them without permission. Not only businessmen are profit-seeking, everyone is actually profit-seeking in their bones.

For example, a piece of Russian wild ginseng is also very valuable. Residents go to the mountains to dig one out, which is worth their income from hard work for more than a year.

If the Russian government dares to let go of this area, the Russian residents will not be crazy. In the country, if you steal and dig out valuable medicinal materials, you will be sentenced to prison.

In Russia, regardless of whether it is a native or a foreigner, basically they will be stunned when they encounter it, and the death rate is extremely high.

Although the lives of most citizens of Russia are poor, they are not so poor that they cannot survive. Therefore, most of them are naturally unwilling to use their lives as a bargaining chip to take risks to obtain wealth.

And if you can’t sell it, dig it up and eat it yourself. Except for the matsutake that was quarreled by the French restaurant for their price, they can dig it up and eat it by themselves, and use every other wild plant in the world that can compare with China.

After all, in Huaxia, the delicious food is the food, the bad food is the medicinal material, and the inedible building material. Chinese people think that wild animals and plants can be eaten, but Russians can't cook because there are too many and they don't care at all.

For example, Chinese people often think that Australian rabbits are flooded because Australians can't cook rabbits, and American carp is flooded because Americans can't cook carp.

But that's not the main reason. The main reason is that people have a large area and a small population, which is not bad for eating. For example, Australians have better and safer beef and mutton to eat casually.

Americans are used to eating fish with few spines. They don’t have to worry about fish bones when they take a big bite of fish, and it’s not expensive to eat casually. If it were you, would you eat troublesome carp?

Braised in soy sauce, fried in soy sauce and other less sticky fish still taste good, so why do I have to eat spiny braised carp?

In the same way, the original cooking techniques are rough, and the delicious beef and mutton have not yet been played. Why do I have to eat rabbits?

So when the people of the country see the flood of this and that of foreign countries. I always feel that the IQ of foreigners is worrying, but the reality is that there are too many good things for them, and coupled with the lack of people, the good things you think are not in their regular diet for them.

After the introduction, everyone sat down, the waiter began to serve the dishes, and then after a few glasses of wine, you started to chat with me with a glance. The content of the general chat is actually the investment environment in Russia.

There is another important factor in the failure of Russia's economic development, that is, the investment environment is too poor. Let's not talk about foreign investors being eaten, blocked, and taken in various ways in Russia.

The investment environment in Russia alone makes many foreign investors feel unconfident. I was afraid that after I made some achievements, I would be confiscated and kicked away. If I dared to resist a little, I would either go to jail or be thrown out.

Of course, although the latter two possibilities are a bit exaggerated, it can be seen that the Russian investment environment cannot create a safe atmosphere for investors at all.

Although businessmen are profit-seeking, the profits you make yourself may be taken away by you in the end. Naturally, no one is stupid enough to send them to your door to help you work.

This time the trade fair was successful, and private capital was also active. Most of the reasons are because the state helped to endorse, so that many investors can feel more at ease, so they are willing to spend money to invest.

But this kind of endorsement is obviously not common. The real investment is that the investment atmosphere is good, and a lot of capital is actively invested. Therefore, although this investment can relieve a little bit of pressure on the Russian investment market. However, it is still a long-term and arduous task for the Russian government to fully develop its own economy.

"Brother Yang, I heard that you have invested a lot in the north this time. Although our industries are different, we can communicate with each other. Please take care of me when the time comes." He is a big guy from Northeast China, but he is obviously a bit smug when drinking, and his cheeks are already flushed after a few glasses of wine.

"Yes, yes, yes, if there is anything going on in the future, brother Yang, please take care of me." Others echoed.

This time everyone arrived at the party ahead of time, and Zheng Tianhe greeted him in the hall, directly treating Yang Dongxu as a guest. No one present was unconvinced and wanted to build some relationship with him.

When the Soviet Union disintegrated many years ago, Yang Dongxu and Su Ri'an stirred up the wind and rain. At that time, he was relatively low-key, and perhaps not many people present knew the inside story.

But this time, Yang Dongxu's work in the trade negotiations was tough with the Russian negotiating team, and the other party seemed to be a little bit afraid of him. Everyone here could see it. Just because Yang Dongxu is sitting in the main seat today, they will Convinced.
