Age of Dreams

Rongcheng, the coffee shop on the second floor of Shangri-La Hotel.

Because the Shangri-La Hotel is the property of Mr. Guo, the richest man in Singapore and Malaysia, many Chinese from Southeast Asia like to park here when they come to China.

Granger En is one of them.

Gu Cangen, who is almost 80 years old, still has a very resonant laugh, and with his rosy face, few people would think that he is almost 80 years old.

"Qi Shao, you should come to Malaysia if you have the chance. We have a ranch there, surrounded by a mountain, and there are many wild animals in it. During the hunting season in autumn, they drive the animals out, what wild deer, roe deer Ah, buffalo...all of them, we don't need to take a car, but go hunting directly on horseback, that feels really good!" Taking advantage of the gap between his father and Xiao Qi's conversation, Gu Pingying suggested with a smile.

"That's right." Gu Cangen took a sip of tea, pointed to his eldest son and said, "He doesn't have much ability, but he can do everything from eating, drinking and having fun. If you want to play something new, it's always right to ask him as a guide .”

"I have long heard that Malaysia is beautiful and has many interesting places. If I have the opportunity, I must go." Xiao Qi smiled and said, "In addition, I have also seen the rich products in Malaysia. In the past two years, my family members There are too many Malaysian specialties to eat, and they have to be given away to avoid waste.”

"It's not worth a lot of money, the main thing is to eat with confidence." Gu Pingying shrugged and said, "We don't have so many deceptive vegetables, meat and fruits over there. To say the least, your farm is very good, but the price It's also expensive."

"If our side is like yours, with a vast land and few people, I think it will be cheaper." Xiao Qi shook his head, "1.5 billion people want to eat, how can it be so easy? It can affect some people first, and make it easier for people to eat." Ecological agriculture has become more popular, and I am very satisfied."

"So, the aborigines in Southeast Asia are the happiest. When our ancestors were still sweating the yellow land, they could lie under the trees and wait for the food to fall." Gu Pingying said, "That is our mainland. The thinking is too serious, if we want to develop the Nanyang region earlier, how can it be possible for the bandits in Europe and the United States to develop?"

"Nonsense!" Gu Cang En couldn't help but scolded his son. This son was so frivolous in his words and deeds, without any concept of superiority or inferiority.

Xiao Qi is the richest man in the world, and he is typically proud of being a Chinese. Why does this guy keep complaining about the mainland?

"Hehe, it's okay, I think Brother Gu speaks straightforwardly, and is more likable than those who hide and hide." Xiao Qi smiled and waved his hand, "Although he may not be able to do business, he can talk There are more than enough friends to chat with. Brother Gu is also born to enjoy the life of glory and wealth!"

"Haha, Young Master Qi, you are so right!" Gu Pingying said happily, "I don't have any other hobbies, but I like eating, drinking and having fun. It’s about giving and not forcing. I know what I can do and what is the limit, so I have a good time and my friends like me.”

Seeing his son's complacent look, Gu Cang'en shook his head and laughed.

Speaking of it, he doesn't like the elder son's usual eating, drinking and having fun, but he and Xiao Qi are more able to chat.

On the contrary, my second son is down-to-earth and steady, and he is also conscientious in doing business, but he has no friendship with Xiao Qi.

If it is after he gets old, I am afraid that the relationship between the Gu family and Xiao Qi will need the eldest son to maintain it.

Speaking of which, in the future, I will have to make some changes in the allocation of family shares in the Gu family. The eldest son can still get a little more family property than before.

After joking for a while, Gu Cangen talked about the real thing.

"Strange, as far as I know, Iran announced last month that it will sell 100 billion US dollars of oil to China. Calculated according to their production and current capacity, it will take at least 5 years to complete Finished." Gu Cang En said, "If it is possible, can you see if the Gu family's fleet can join in? After all, if the oil is transported back to China earlier, it will be more secure."

Xiao Qi nodded slightly.

Granny is right, it's important to take your time.

For example, this year, didn't the United States blockade Iran, and almost couldn't deliver the oil bought by Huaguo?

Even if the United States is a little bit soft now, and Iran has once again increased its sales to China, if Iran has disputes with Western countries, it will be very difficult for this oil to be completed as it wishes.

Everything is imaginary, and only what is in the warehouse of one's own country is real, and it will make people feel at ease.

100 billion US dollars of oil may seem like a lot, but if it was changed to the time when global shipping was most developed in the 2000s, it could be shipped in two years.

Although shipping is greatly weakened now, and the transportation of 100 billion US dollars of oil is very cumbersome, if a large amount of outsourcing is required, it should be completed in three to five years.

If the Gu family joins in, according to their remaining fleet, they can indeed speed up the delivery of oil to China.

But it is precisely because the world's shipping has weakened that the utilization rate of several major state-owned shipping companies in Huaguo is seriously underutilized. They have already contracted all Iran's oil transportation. Even with such a deep relationship with the Gu family, a Time was not squeezed in either.

Gu Cangen is such a smart person, he didn't directly compete with several shipping companies, but chose to come to Xiao Qi's side, to see if Xiao Qi can help - the world's richest man is looking for Niu Ruzheng or Yu Chengsheng, Definitely a lot better than him coming out on his own.

He also affirmed that Xiao Qi would help him with this.

Not only because Xiao Qi is planning to buy a large amount of land in Malaysia for the Fairy Farm project; not only because Xiao Qi needs the help of the Gu family to lay out the Familymart network in Malaysia, but also because the Gu family is Xiao Qi’s friend .

Xiao Qi is the most meaningful person to friends, and all Xiao Qi's partners agree on this point.

The Gu family has been friendly with Xiao Qi from the very beginning. Since Xiao Qi helped them get rid of the crisis in the shipping industry, whenever Xiao Qi asks them for help, the Gu family never asks for any conditions or mentions any difficulties. They all worked hard to help Xiao Qi, which represented a very good attitude.

Xiao Qi naturally knows this too, so as long as he has the ability, he should help.

There is another aspect that Gu Cang En didn't mention, but Xiao Qi also understands it.

That is the problem of uniting overseas Chinese.

Huaguo is so big, with a population of 1.5 billion, but this is not the total number of Chinese descendants. In fact, there are still about 300 million Chinese descendants around the world, of which there are almost 200 million in Southeast Asia.

If Huaguo wants to increase its own influence, it must rely on the strength of these own people.

It just so happens that the Chinese in Southeast Asia are relatively wealthy upper class, so the Chinese government has always treated these overseas compatriots preferentially.

For all Chinese businessmen who have a good attitude towards China, the Chinese government will definitely give them a lot of preferential treatment. This is to send a signal to others: "Those who are friendly with me will get benefits."

The Gu family is a typical family of goodwill here.

Although the oil transportation this time, because the several major state-owned enterprises in Huaguo couldn't eat enough, they didn't give them a share, but the Gu family felt that they should fight for it. All benefits were taken up by the state-owned enterprises. What else can some fellow countrymen eat? If you say it's a family, then you have to share it with us!

But the Gu family can't say that by themselves, it will definitely offend people and make the people in the center uncomfortable, so it's best for Xiao Qi to say it.

"No problem." After pondering for a while, Xiao Qi said straightforwardly: "I will tell Uncle Niu, with competition and encouragement from overseas compatriots, I hope state-owned enterprises can also have a positive working attitude!"

"What do we need to do?" Gu Cang'en was delighted in his heart, but his face turned serious.

"Coastal cities have attached great importance to port infrastructure in the past two years, but I think there should be a modern port in western Guangdong, the window to Southeast Asia, not just on the eastern coast." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "If the valley I think the hub will be very happy to have the capital and advanced management experience of the family join in.”

Gran Cang'en's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily, "I understand, thank you Qi Shao!"

Although Xiao Qi just said a simple sentence, it opened a new door for Gu Cangen.

There are a lot of agricultural products in Southeast Asia, but before they were imported to Huaguo, they usually passed through Guangdong Province or Quanzhou, which seemed a bit scattered.

But the location in the west of Guangdong is better, like a big pocket, and the ships leading to Southeast Asia are also very convenient, but the port construction here is still lagging behind, so there is no way to exert its power.

When Xiao Qi mentioned this, he asked Gu Cangen to tell the center that he intends to cooperate with the local government in western Guangdong to build a large modern port together with the passage to Southeast Asia.

In this way, the Gu family can get the appreciation of the center, and can get enough benefits in this port, so that the family's industry can be further extended and the foundation is more solid.

And since Xiao Qi dared to say that, it means that the center has such an idea or opinion. He can take the initiative to talk about it and bear a lot of responsibility for expenditure and construction, which will naturally make the center less scruples in many aspects.

Besides, the Gu family's prestige in Southeast Asia is still very high. Once they have interests in the ports in western Guangdong, they will further promote the export of agricultural products from Southeast Asia to China, which will enrich the food life of the people of China. positive meaning.

I believe that the center will not fail to see such benefits, and the probability of success is very high.

That's why Gu Cang En thanked Xiao Qi so solemnly.

A genius boy is indeed a genius boy, a random idea can make a family prosper! (~^~)
