King of Capital

Chapter 69 The Marshall Plan

The weather in Jingyue City finally turned hot in early August, and the modified A330 business jet landed on the runway emitting the hot smell of burnt cement.

Compared to the last time's flamboyant airport pick-up, this time it was very low-key. Xie Jingxing wore a pair of sunglasses and beach shorts, as if he had just returned from a vacation in the provincial capital of Sanya. Surrounded by bodyguards, he got into a business car and returned to his rural home in the suburbs.

The standard first-class highway connecting Jingyue City to the village is unobstructed all the way through the provincial new rural model village whose construction level is in line with the rural revitalization strategy, and the car drives into the winding mountain road.

Passing a pair of huge stone lions and a security booth, acres of gardens and artificial lakes on both sides of the road passed into view. After driving forward for a few more minutes, we finally stopped in front of a small complex of buildings that was a mix of Chinese, British and European styles.

Xie Jingxing jumped out of the car and glanced at the dozen luxury cars parked in the terrace parking lot. He couldn't help but frowned and walked straight to the main building with British neoclassical architectural style.

This main building was designed by his junior high school English teacher who graduated from Oxford University in the UK. It has the retro symmetrical aesthetics that was popular in Britain in the 18th century, and looks a bit cold.

She is in line with the English teacher's temperament, dignified and elegant, knows etiquette and knows when to advance and retreat, never makes mistakes and is deeply loved by Mr. Xie.

Xie Jing Xing also had a good impression of her, and from a distance he smiled and nodded at the English teacher who was standing at the door to greet him, "Auntie Qing."

"The eldest young master has finally decided to go home. His temperament has changed a lot. He can help your father share the work and be independent now."

Jie Qing's skin was exceptionally fair and well maintained. When she smiled, one could not help but get close to her. She looked like a girl of only 27 or 28 years old. Only the faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes proved that she was about the same age as Su He.

In recent years, she has lived an exceptionally comfortable life, with her body and mind being smooth, dignified and graceful.

While holding Xie Jingxing's hand and walking into the room with a friendly smile, she easily directed the nannies around, some moving luggage and some notifying people of news, busying herself with all kinds of things.

"You didn't call before you got home, so I didn't let them wait here. Your dad has a meeting and will be back late."

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Jie Qing opened the cap of the mineral water bottle with his own hands and said in a pretended angry tone.

Xie Jingxing took the water, took a sip and said, "Actually, there's no need to bother. I have to go back to the Magic City tomorrow."

"You've been studying abroad for four years. It's your first time home. You should go see them. It's not easy for them to get together from all over the world."

Jie Qing smiled helplessly: "To be honest, some of these are the first time I've seen them."

"How many?" Xie Jing Xing couldn't help but joked.

Jie Qing did not hide his emotions and said in a tone of grievance and depression: "There are seven big ones and six small ones. During this period, there are countless people who came and left."

The older one is a lover, and the younger one is a child. Old Xie’s performance level is basically at the average level of grassroots entrepreneurs of his generation.

These lovers and concubines do not get along with each other and are usually scattered all over the country. They come to live in the house for three to five months during the Spring Festival. This is how most of the other stand-alone buildings in the patchwork style, except for the main building, came about.

After all the waves have washed away, only Jie Qing is left. She has been standing firm in the main building of the manor since its construction. She has given birth to a son and a daughter for Old Xie. The daughter is in elementary school and the son has just entered kindergarten.

To a certain extent, it was Xie Jingxing who took the initiative to choose a partner for himself to manage Old Xie's harem. Looking back now, it has been proven that he made the right choice. At least in all these years, there has not been a second woman who can live in the house for a long time.

No matter whether they were "old men in the palace" or "new ladies in the palace" like Yu Ying, they all behaved well and did not overstep the boundaries.

Xie Jingxing took the stack of red envelopes that Jie Qing had prepared for him in advance, and sat on the sofa to give them out one by one to his brothers and sisters who lined up to greet him. The last one, the youngest one, was not yet weaned, and was giggling at him while being held by his mother.

"Oh, our little Ruirui is so close to her brother. Come and shake hands with your brother..." Her mother was so happy that her laughter was louder than that of the child.

Yu Ying and the other two childless women felt bad, and the others who had children felt even more complicated.

Xie Qing smiled gently but said nothing, because her eldest daughter and youngest son were sitting next to Xie Jingxing.

"Okay, let's all go and come over for dinner tonight."

She felt that the time was about right and spoke lightly, saying that the village relatives would be here soon and there was no need to show such an outrageous scene of loving family to outsiders.

Xie Jingxing cooperated very well with Jie Qing's authority at home. He turned his head and whispered to her two children, pretending not to hear what the adults were saying.

"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie said there is some information in his study that you should read first. We can discuss the details when he comes back in the evening." Yu Ying jumped out and acted as the villain.

Xie Jing Xing continued to play with the child without raising his eyelids and asked casually: "What information?"

"Information about the strategic development of Yunshan." Yu Ying said shockingly.

The expressions of everyone in the room, including Jie Qing, changed subtly. Xie Jingxing stood up and said, "Let's disperse first."

Yu Ying held her head high and her high heels stomped forcefully on the floor, making a clanging sound. She walked towards the elevator to the study on the second floor. What’s the point of just being able to give birth to a child… “Commodities?”

When Xie Jingxing came to the study, he asked bluntly. Yu Ying's first instinctive reaction was to lower his head to check if there were any signs that the documents in his hand had been tampered with.

He understood clearly and sat down at the desk and ordered, "Give me the information and you can leave first."

As a company that closely follows the country's footsteps, Yunshan Agriculture and Animal Husbandry will devote a lot of resources to agricultural import and export trade and energy and mineral commodities after this year, pointing to its core strategy - [One Belt, One Road].

As early as the 08 financial crisis, when China opened the floodgates to the United States to take over, it proposed the predecessor of the "Belt and Road" strategy, which was a replica of the "Marshall Plan" implemented by the United States after World War II.

The United States' domestic production capacity exploded during World War II, resulting in overcapacity and an imbalance in supply and demand after the war. At the same time, the country was faced with a serious surplus of foreign exchange reserves, so it provided a large amount of infrastructure and consumer goods to parts of Europe that had been devastated to stabilize domestic production capacity inflation.

The European consumer market is being cultivated in disguise, turning Europe into a long-term dumping ground for US export trade, and this is accompanied by a silent transfer of low-end industries.

The United States not only got rid of its domestic economic problems, but also completed an industrial upgrade. The most crucial thing was that since all kinds of aid were settled in US dollars, the strength of the US dollar continued to rise, laying a good foundation for the dollar to be bound to oil and other bulk energy commodities in the 1970s and 1980s.

Therefore, after the financial crisis in 2008, China, which faced a roughly similar situation, chose the third world regions such as Africa and South America as its aid targets. It basically used the same operations, exporting infrastructure and light industrial consumer goods production capacity, transferring low-end industries, and improving the strength of the currency.

However, due to various reasons, the Belt and Road Initiative failed to materialize at first. It was not until next month of this year that it was officially unveiled for the first time and entered the national strategic stage.

However, it is not realistic to expect the poor black brothers in Africa to buy the corresponding domestic export industrial capacity, so we can only reluctantly accept some hard currency such as iron ore, gold ore, rice and flour as payment.

Previously, Zhou Fenglan cooperated with Yunshan Agriculture and Animal Husbandry to coerce and bribe the international grain giant "Cargill", which can be said to be a move of small effort. China has always been a major grain import and trading country. After proposing the "Belt and Road" strategy, it has accelerated the layout of agricultural trade imports in South Africa, ASEAN and other regions under the policy-driven approach.

If you can't do it, I will help you. If you need money or technology, I will give you whatever you want. Just farm well. Anyway, the country must reduce its dependence on food imports from the Western world.

In this process, COFCO took the lead in going abroad, helping poor brothers and black brothers with a compassionate heart, in exchange for a little insignificant return of corn, soybeans, farm land, and various mines...

Yunshan Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has always followed the footsteps of Big Brother, and Lao Xie is a good man who does good deeds and accumulates virtue, so he immediately decided to devote himself to international charity without hesitation.

Until Xie Jingxing was reborn, Yunshan's warehousing and logistics system followed the big brother's buttocks and expanded to agricultural areas such as Argentina in South America, setting up a one-stop industrial chain of processing, production and import in the local area.

The big brother is even more awesome. He directly built a railway in the local area to transport soybeans.

It's similar in Southeast Asia such as Cambodia. Old Xie even built a "temporary palace" in Myanmar. When Xie Jingxing went there to practice gun shooting, he was accompanied by the army and could drive tanks and fire cannons himself. He was treated like a local emperor and his social status was comparable to that of the local eminent monks.

In summary, ten years later, Yunshan's annual net income growth will exceed 1 billion yuan through the "Belt and Road" strategy, which means that the revenue of related businesses will reach tens of billions. It can indeed be regarded as an important strategic development plan for Yunshan Agriculture and Animal Husbandry to take off in the next decade.

Xie Jingxing fell into deep thought as he read the information written by an unknown master. With Yu Ying as the door god, he avoided being disturbed by the elders and villagers who came to visit his home. Time passed unknowingly, and when he finished reading all the information carefully, it was dark outside.

Old Xie returned home at the right time, and Yu Ying knocked on the door and called him to go to the restaurant downstairs for dinner.

"Wait, I'll change my clothes."

Xie Jingxing returned to his room and changed out of his beach shorts, and put on a pair of trousers and a white shirt.

Yu Ying hesitated and said, "Mr. Xie, are you feeling better? Do you want to have a drink with Mr. Xie?"

".You decide on the arrangements."

Xie Jing Xing was stunned for a moment, then he loosely rolled up his shirt cuffs to his elbows and unbuttoned the top button. The overall look was a bit casual and homely, but the only flaw was that the formal watch on his wrist was a bit awkward.

Yu Ying suppressed her joy and replied "OK", then turned around and went to the wine cellar to get some wine.

There are several restaurants in the main building of the manor. Today can be considered a family reunion for the New Year, and dinner is arranged at a large round table in the restaurant that can seat thirty people.

Old Xie sat in the main seat with Jie Qing beside him. The second seat on the other side was empty. Many women and children who could eat at the table by themselves sat separately. The atmosphere was lively and everyone was laughing and talking nicely.

As soon as Xie Jingxing walked into the restaurant, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. A young man about sixteen or seventeen years old sitting at the edge of the restaurant quickly stood up and greeted him, "Young Master Jing."

"You're welcome."

Xie Jingxing patted him on the shoulder. Seeing this, the others didn't know whether to stand up or sit down, and they all turned their eyes to Old Xie.

Xie Jing Xing walked across the round table calmly and silently, found his second seat, sat down, looked around, and finally looked at Old Xie and said, "Let's eat."

"Well, let's eat." Old Xie laughed.
