Chapter 388: Face as Insole
Today is a good day, everything you want will come true!
Xie Jingxing's days of emotional depression were swept away. It turned out that career was the most joyful thing. It would be even better if he could get the Emperor Qianlong's jade seal.
The charity dinner ended, and a group of celebrities and other people left one after another. The auction would start half an hour later.
"I didn't get to meet President Li three years ago, but today I finally have the chance to meet him."
Old Xie came over to talk to Li Renyu during the intermission of the event. Two years ago, Industrial Bank was invited to visit Jilin Province to inspect business, and the local reception standards were very high.
As the largest private enterprise in the province, Yunshan Group naturally deserved to show its support. However, Chairman Xie Cheng did not give it this face and just sent a random senior executive to make up the numbers.
Now, if we talk about it in a nice way, it can be considered as one of the few interactions between the two sides.
"When I went to Jilin Province for an inspection, many people introduced Mr. Xie and Yunshan Group to me. After listening to your development history, I knew that this was definitely not an ordinary company."
Li Renyu half-truthfully expressed his approval: "After in-depth contact with Mr. Xie, my judgment has been further confirmed. If I have the opportunity, I would like to study and visit Yunshan Group."
"You're welcome. You're welcome to come anytime you have time." Old Xie responded in a gentle and positive manner.
Li Renyu nodded and confirmed: "I will definitely go if I have the chance. The three northeastern provinces are the main agricultural production areas, and Yunshan is the leading agricultural enterprise in the three northeastern provinces. Your mature agricultural economic system is worthy of reference and imitation for the development of rural revitalization and agricultural financial assistance across the country."
"This is a huge problem. I come from a peasant family and don't understand finance."
Old Xie glanced at Xie Jingxing inconspicuously, and after receiving a positive look, he continued, "In my opinion, agriculture and finance have something in common. Both are based on the people's livelihood."
"The difference is that agriculture requires humbleness, while Yunshan Group is an enterprise rooted in the black soil."
This sounded a little uneasy, but Li Renyu was used to it. In the past, he would just laugh it off if they didn't agree.
At this moment, I feel even more eager, thinking that maybe I can really make a career by joining Jichun Bank.
Although Yunshan Group seems to be conscientiously focusing on agriculture under the leadership of Mr. Xie, it actually has related financial business - agricultural insurance.
As the old saying goes, farmers rely on the weather for their livelihood, and ensuring a good harvest regardless of drought or flood and livestock diseases has been an unchanging pursuit for thousands of years. The high level of uncontrollable factors in the production process inevitably leads to a demand for controllability.
Planting and breeding, this type of agricultural financial insurance business has very active markets in the three northeastern provinces, specifically in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces.
Almost every farmer household was forced to pay insurance by village cooperatives, production companies and other grassroots administrative units. Farmers lined up to pay insurance while cursing and demanding money.
They also have to ask each other about whose insurance is more expensive. The key is that the prerequisite for asking is that farmers can generally understand insurance!
Compared with the northwest, central and western regions, people have mature cognition and awareness. They criticize insurance companies for being too greedy for money, but they will not criticize insurance companies for being a scam and it is useless.
Given the general environment, whether Yunshan itself wants to get involved in financial business or not, investing in local insurance companies is the most basic thing.
When Li Renyu mentioned that he would definitely visit Yunshan Group, he meant insurance finance, and used this as a starting point to comprehensively develop agricultural finance business in the banking field.
If you don’t have money to buy seeds and fertilizers, you can come to the seed and fertilizer subsidiary of Yunshan Group and Jichun Bank will provide you with a loan.
If you don't have money to farm, you need to hire people. Now it's the age of mechanization. Take a look at the latest DJI pesticide spraying and fertilizer spreading drone sold by the agricultural machinery subsidiary of Yunshan Group. Jichun Bank provides loans and comes with machinery insurance.
If you want to save money after selling grain in autumn harvest, Jichun Bank is your first choice for deposit and loan!
According to this idea, the closed loop of the agricultural industry chain will be achieved, the risk of the loan business will be compressed to the minimum, and there is no need to give cash to farmers, which can be directly converted into revenue for Yunshan’s seed, fertilizer and other subsidiaries.
"Yunshan Group is a very unique enterprise. There is no comparable company in the country. Only such a mature agricultural leading enterprise has the opportunity to open up the financial industry chain and has great potential!"
The three of them stood in the banquet hall. Guests were coming in and out in a noisy manner. Li Renyu couldn't talk about the details and could only briefly express his thoughts and make a summary.
"It's easier said than done. Yunshan Group's success today is inseparable from its people-oriented philosophy. Precisely because of this, every step of Yunshan Group in the future must be taken with caution."
Xie Jingxing stood by and tried to smooth things over: "President Li should communicate more with Chairman Xie in the future. We should exchange ideas and convince each other."
"I think it's no problem, as long as Mr. Xie is willing to give me this opportunity." Li Renyu lowered his posture and responded sincerely.
It has abundant resources and energy, strong financial strength, and top-notch business capabilities. Especially the monster Yunshan Group, it is almost a ready-made financial driver for the industrial chain.
From the time he was invited by Nanchang to do a rough background check, to the time he was pulled up by Xie Jingxing at the charity dinner donation event just now, joining Jichun Bank was a foregone conclusion.
What is Ping An Lufax Internet Micro Loan? Don’t contact me in the future for fear that my young master will misunderstand. How can a pheasant be worthy of a phoenix?
In the remaining few months of this year, I will finish the scene of visiting Zhuge Liang three times in a desperate bid for talent. Next year, after I retire and am laid off, I will immediately take up the position of President of Jichun Bank. The script has been written without my knowledge!
"If President Li is not in a hurry to leave, let's have dinner tomorrow."
Old Xie is not conservative, but his own son likes to play too much and always comes up with new tricks.
He kicked them a few times and gave up the idea of stealing the jobs of farmers who bought and sold vegetables. Then he rushed to the bank and simply pulled in Yunshan Group, treating millions of farmers as financial institutions.
At first glance, Li Renyu seems to have talent and ideas, so I must personally examine this person. If he is too suicidal, I might as well unleash my youthful rage and kill him with a knife today.
"It just so happens that I need to go talk to Wanda's President Qu. President Li, you can learn from my dad. He knows a lot about antique collection."
Xie Jingxing raised his wrist to see that the time was approaching and the auction was about to start. He then turned to defend himself, "When there is a certain amount of money, it will generate self-driving force. However, the market that can accommodate hundreds of billions or even trillions of funds is limited, so many businesses have to be done."
"You are still far from having too much money to spend!" Old Xie couldn't help but glare at me with his tiger eyes.
Xie Jing Xing secretly laughed and raised his eyebrows, pretending to be innocent and joking, "It's hard to spend it all, if Yunshan Group is interested, you can spend some for me."
"The more we talk, the more excited we become."
Old Xie was extremely angry, but he couldn't show it in front of others, so he felt his teeth itching.
Li Renyu happily watched the unusual interaction between the two fathers. Suddenly, a group of people came from the entrance of the banquet hall. Wanda’s Mr. Wang and Evergrande’s Mr. Xu walked shoulder to shoulder, sandwiching LeTV’s Mr. Jia in the middle.
"I looked around for you two but couldn't find you two, so I came here to chat." Wang Jianlin joked, pointing his finger.
Old Xie switched his state smoothly and shook hands with him: "Tell me what you want to shoot later in advance, don't compete with me."
“That’s not right. When it’s time to strike, strike. No one should give in to anyone else.” Xu Jiayin swung the cigar between his fingertips with outstanding style.
Wang Jianlin sneered and said, "Don't f*cking try to sow discord. They're fighting father and son. We have no advantage if we try to compete."
"We have helpers to help us. Boss Jia will spar with Xiao Xie later. I heard that you two just had a fight?"
Xu Jiayin was puffing away smoke and showing off, while Jia Yueting was standing beside him in black casual wear, with his hands folded and a modest smile on his face, looking like a follower.
Xie Jingxing automatically blocked out the swear words that came out of the old-timers' conversations. He was too lazy to speak and just nodded slightly to get by. The stock market crash caused a shortage of funds in the financial market. Evergrande's capital game of stepping on the left foot and the right foot to the sky was instantly cut off. In the past two months, it sold its high-quality agricultural assets including grain and oil to Yunshan at a price of 27 billion.
Brother Belt took the initiative to come and socialize. Maybe his blood was not recovered enough and he wanted to sell something else, such as his crappy Evergrande Ice Spring.
Last year, Yunshan Group spun off its business and listed it to raise funds to reserve cash flow. This year, it has made several moves to acquire high-quality assets such as Wufeng. Mr. Xie’s intention in doing this is not just to sell mineral water.
"It's not a competition. As a newcomer in the industry, I would like to pay tribute to Mr. Xie." Jia Yueting took over the conversation.
Xie Jing Xing raised his mouth politely: "I am very optimistic about LeEco making mobile phones. Suffocating for a dream sounds passionate. Nothing will go wrong."
"Look, Mr. Xie, everyone says your son is very ambitious, but why is he so reserved when he meets the real person for the first time today? LeEco's business is very broad, and they may cooperate in the future. They know each other well by fighting to make mobile phones."
Xu Jiayin was not satisfied with what he said, so he raised his hand and patted Xie Jingxing on the shoulder: "I will organize a party later, Jingxing, you and your dad come together and have a drink with Boss Jia."
"I've heard that you're very romantic and cool, how about we compete? I can call three ices from the entertainment industry right away with just one phone call."
He laughed to himself, his old face wrinkled like a blooming chrysanthemum, and no one present responded to him.
Old Xie narrowed his eyes slightly. After all, Concubine Pei was pregnant with his grandson. Even though he knew that Xu Jiayin didn't know the details, the laughter was somewhat harsh.
"What do you mean by 'no fight, no acquaintance'?"
Xie Jingxing turned around and broke free of the arm on his shoulder. He glanced at Xu Jiayin and Jia Yueting and said lightly, "I haven't been in charge of Meizu for a long time, and Huang Zhang has never mentioned any competition to me. You think too much."
Are you qualified to talk to me about competition and conflicts?
"Hey, it's true that reasonable competition inevitably leads to some minor frictions. They are all misunderstandings and you don't need to take them to heart." Wang Jianlin spoke to ease the delicate atmosphere.
Xu Jiayin glanced at Old Xie with an unhappy expression.
Jia Yueting restrained his expression and remained modest: "Mr. Xie, you'd better not take it seriously. Competition is the driving force for corporate growth. LeEco will continue to increase its business in the future, and the investment will not be less than that of LeEco TV."
"There is a difference between emerging industries and traditional industries. TV manufacturers can be scared to death by burning money, but mobile phone manufacturers will not buy into this."
Xie Jingxing sneered and chuckled sarcastically. Just as he was joking with Old Xie about having endless money, a cerebral palsy rushed over and tried to slap him in the face.
And there is Xu Jiayin, these two ignorant bastards, every word they say is like stepping on a minefield.
"Let's go, the auction is about to start, let's go in."
Wang Jianlin urged Jia Yueting before he could respond. Old Xie walked ahead silently with his hands behind his back, and Li Renyu followed without hesitation.
Xu Jiayin clenched the cigar between his fingertips and slowly exhaled the smoke, then paced and swayed behind Jia Yueting.
Wang Jianlin was so upset that he pushed Xie Jingxing, his head full of thoughts as he observed the young and energetic financial leaders around him. The six of them formed a line and walked out in three batches.
LeTV announced two years ago that it would make televisions. If users purchased LeTV TV’s annual movie VIP membership, they would receive a large-screen HD TV for free.
Traditional TV manufacturers had never seen this kind of strategy before, and even Terry Gou was stunned. For a time, LeTV TV sales soared, causing bloodshed in the entire market.
This fed back to the capital market, pushing LeTV's stock price up to a market value of 100 billion yuan, and it was known as the No. 1 stock on the ChiNext.
This year, the company announced that it would enter the three fields of new energy vehicles, mobile phones, and sports culture. Having tasted the sweetness of capital operations, Jia Yueting continued to burn money and sell mobile phones at a loss.
The first mobile phone released in the summer lost money on every unit sold, impacting the Meizu and Redmi product lines.
He also relied on his personal charm as a gimmick and used the names of Xie Jingxing and Lei Jun for marketing, and the shipment volume exceeded three million in just a few months.
The three most influential entrepreneurial icons in the business world are currently colliding head-on, with the public going wild and the media hyping it up, and countless audiences enjoying the show to their climax.
But in fact, only family members know their own business, and no one knows the situation of LeTV better than Jia Yueting.
So even if he didn't want to have a conflict with Xie Jingxing, as long as the argument between them was deadlocked, he had to hold on and not let outsiders figure out his true intentions.
Xu Jiayin’s situation is similar. The more he sells assets at low prices to make up for his losses, the more he has to jump around.
Allowing the two of them to compete with Xie Jingxing would not benefit anyone.
Wang Jianlin secretly sighed that he had bad luck tonight. LeTV wanted to set up a cinema chain and Wanda and Evergrande were interested in cooperating with it. They were chatting well and nothing happened.
He casually said that he wanted to say hello to Xiao Xie later. Xu Jiayin immediately got excited and said that he wanted to talk to Lao Xie about their relationship. He also took the responsibility and asked Jia Yueting to join in the fun.
…………
I am the middleman in organizing the event to give face. The little competition between LeTV and Meizu is not a big deal. We are all friends and we can make money in harmony - Jiayin said.
Facts have proved that the former richest man's face was completely treated as an insole and stepped on the ground. He was afraid that even his own deal to sell Evergrande Ice Spring mineral water would fail.
Why bother?
The auctioneer on the stage was warming up the audience, while Wang Jianlin was sitting in the audience, puzzled. He looked at Little Xie beside him, and then at Old Xie not far away.
What's wrong with these two men? Old Xu is a little pretentious, but they have been seeing each other for so many years, so why should they offend each other without any affection?
"No wonder you and my kid can get together. He also had a fight with Lao Xu once." Lao Wang racked his brains and finally found a way out.
Xie Jingxing managed to calm himself down and shrugged without making any comment.
Xiao Wang was clearly criticizing Fan Bingbing on Weibo, and the conflict escalated when the other party responded and even affected Belt Brother, who then deleted the Weibo post. This was not a real conflict at all.
Lao Wang is indeed simple and strong.
Xie Jingxing thought for a moment and replied, "Pusi Capital participated in the financing of LeTV Sports two months ago?"
"It seems like that's the case. It's up to him to decide what he wants to invest in. I don't care." Lao Wang didn't understand.
Xie Jingxing pointedly said: "Xu Jiayin and Jia Yueting are of the same kind. They are standing on the edge of the cliff. It is better to get together with me than to get together with them."
"..."
Old Wang was stunned and speechless, his brows furrowed.
