The winter rain in the Magic City hasn't stopped all night long. The temperature hasn't dropped yet, but the chill is chilling to the bones.
Zhou Mingyang, the chairman of Mingyuan Group, has been in Shanghai with him recently. Things abroad are basically finished: his son's lawsuit in London has been settled. He is also taking care of his domestic business carefully, and can temporarily resist the squeeze of the Phoenix Group.
"So, doesn't this give me a chance to wait?" In the headquarters building of Mingyuan Group, Zhou Mingyang and the group's second-in-command, Bo Xujie, drank Kung Fu tea. As calm as he was, his smile never stopped. Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window is the winding Huangpu River, with the wind and rain like darkness.
The headquarters building of Mingyuan Group is built in Pudong. Back then, Zhou Mingyang's father made a fortune in Sichuan Province, and his family settled in Magic City. Zhou Mingyang has a precise vision. Like Tomson Group, he sees the development prospects of Pudong, so he buys land in Pudong.
Unlike Hong Kong-funded real estate companies that like to increase prices by hoarding land, Mingyuan Group currently holds all the land that has been developed. The 44-story Mingyuan Building is the most outstanding masterpiece of Mingyuan Real Estate, a subsidiary of Mingyuan Group.
"Old Zhou, you are still able to hold on! You can hold on until the clouds clear and the moon shines brightly." Bo Xujie was of medium height, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is actually Zhou Mingyang's entrepreneurial partner. But he did not get the shares of Mingyuan Group, but received high dividends.
There are many private enterprises in China with various systems. There are companies like Midea, which directly recruits managers as sons-in-law, and companies like Mingyuan Group, which do not give equity to veterans and senior executives but only provide dividends.
As for whether Bo Xujie had any resentment in his heart, of course he did. According to statistics on the wealth list, who does he count? The co-entrepreneurs of Fosun, Tencent, and Alibaba are all on the wealth list. But over the years, he has survived Zhou Mingyang's tricks and his temper has been suppressed. Now at the age of forty-six, his family and career are stable, and the few honeys he raised outside are obedient and pleasant. He no longer wants to toss.
To be honest, he even received an invitation from the Phoenix Group. But there is no need to mention this in front of Zhou Mingyang.
"Haha!" Zhou Mingyang laughed, exhaled a long breath, and said: "Jing Gao's grand plan for the whole Song Dynasty this time, from my point of view, it is still a frustrated reaction after suffering a boring loss."
"How do you say that?" Bo Xujie serves as the CEO of Mingyuan Group and is responsible for daily management work. But his connections and information in the business world are naturally not as good as Zhou Mingyang's.
"Xujie, you don't know that Phoenix Fund has invested in several unicorn companies in North America, and its holdings are worth about US$1 billion. These shares have been seized. As far as I know, it should be Lanni- Mellon's hand and some information provided by Li Jiacheng.
Suppression operated by the deep state of country M! Coupled with the recent momentum of the detention of Hua's chief financial officer and the ultimatum issued, the pressure on Jinggao is still very high. It is abnormal for him not to rectify Song Dynasty! "
Bo Xujie was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed: "That's a bit frustrating!"
Zhou Mingyang drank the fragrant Biluochun, put down his tea cup, and leisurely ordered a cup of tea for his old friend Bo Xujie, "This is only the first step. I heard from the second young master of the Li family that the business competition between Hong Kong Island and the Phoenix Group , prepare to take advantage of the situation to make a settlement.
If the operation goes smoothly, Jinggao's commercial aircraft carriers will only be in China in the future. "As he said that, he let out a long breath!
Mingyuan Group is a diversified group, but under the continuous suppression of Phoenix Group for more than a year, Zhou Mingyuan took the initiative to shrink its business and sold many minor businesses. Currently, it only retains the following businesses: real estate, ocean transportation, finance (insurance, private equity, securities), mobile games, and chip design.
Bo Xujie smiled and said: "Old Zhou, then my burden will be lighter! This period of time is really like walking on thin ice."
"I have worked hard for you during this period. When the situation stabilizes, you can take a good annual leave. Take your sister-in-law and children to have a good vacation in Southeast Asia." Zhou Mingyuan promised.
"Haha, that's a good feeling!" Bo Xujie smiled happily, but actually he felt very silly inside. Because his boss didn't mention the bonus. But it’s not easy for him to mention.
Because if it is proposed, Lao Zhou will definitely say that it will be reflected in the year-end bonus. It is already the end of December, and it is only one quarter away from Mingyuan Group's "fiscal year" of March. This will make him appear to be a villain in vain!
Lao Zhou has a set of management methods. So now the boss of Mingyuan Group is Lao Zhou, not him! He was convinced to lose.
Zhou Mingyang also laughed and glanced at the Huangpu River covered by the lingering winter rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window. The joy in my heart is indescribable. This is like the feeling of a person who is carrying a heavy weight and suddenly puts the weight down!
In recent years, Jinggao has been "showing off his power" in the domestic business community. At the same time, he has been extremely conceited and has not been close to his domestic colleagues. He basically does not participate in any business interactions and avoids interviews with the media. So over the years, he has had many enemies.
This time it all breaks out!
Let’s take a look!
Li Huanggua is not a kind-hearted person. There are also a bunch of British and American financial groups behind the scenes who are looking for excuses to eat meat. Jing Gao's overseas influence (Yuexiu Consortium) and assets on Hong Kong Island will all be wiped out this time. This will definitely seriously injure Jing Gao's vitality!
Then his good days are coming!
Just as Zhou Mingyang was tapping the beat of "Good Days" with his fingers, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was his friend Fang Yun, President of Alibaba's Strategic Investment Department: "Mr. Zhou, have you heard about Dayuan Investment?" Bar?"
Zhou Mingyang is 46 years old and has been in the business world for many years. He immediately felt that this was wrong and asked: "Mr. Fang, do you have any news over there?"
"Song wants that trash! Dayuan Investment is now facing a large number of redemptions and is about to close down! I also want to redeem our investment now. Let me tell you in advance."
Zhou Mingyang said hurriedly: "Mr. Fang, how can there be a large number of redemptions? Even if Song is hung on his meager salary and scolded, it is impossible to have such an effect!"
Fang Yun cursed on the phone: "That's why I said Song Ruo is a waste. It's just public opinion, and he can't keep his big clients! Mr. Zhou, if Dayuan Investment is going to be abolished, I won't stay and play with him. I I suggest you don’t stay either.”
"Thank you!" Zhou Mingyang hung up the phone with a bitter mood.
When Bo Xujie saw that his boss looked wrong, he put down the tea cup and asked, "Old Zhou, what's wrong?"
Zhou Mingyang still managed to maintain his composure: "Dayuan Investment is facing a large number of redemptions. Alibaba's funds are ready to be withdrawn."
"What?" Bo Xujie stood up from the sofa in shock, "I'll call and ask." Mingyuan Group also has a brokerage business, so there is still a way to check the data of private equity funds registered in Eucalyptus.
A moment later, Bo Xujie came back from the phone call and reported bluntly: "Old Zhou, Song Dynasty is going to be over. Tang Jiacheng, the second son of Tomson Group, took the lead in withdrawing capital, which shocked people's hearts. Unless there are still funds willing to support him, otherwise his private equity can only For the sake of closing the door.”
Zhou Mingyang nodded slowly, "I'll be alone for a while." Looking at the rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Zhou Mingyang couldn't suppress the disappointment and anger in his heart, and smashed the tea cup in his hand directly against the wall.
"waste!"
